Isaiah 40:9-11

New American Standard Bible

⁹Go up on a ^(A)high mountain,
Zion, messenger of ^(B)good news,
Raise your voice forcefully,
Jerusalem, messenger of good news;
Raise it up, do not fear.
Say to the ^(C)cities of Judah,
“^(D)Here is your God!”
¹⁰Behold, the Lord ^[a]God will come ^(E)with might,
With His ^(F)arm ruling for Him.
Behold, His ^(G)compensation is with Him,
And His reward before Him.
¹¹Like a shepherd He will ^(H)tend His flock,
In His arm He will gather the lambs
And carry them in the fold of His robe;
He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

Restoration of Jacob

¹⁸“This is what the Lord says:
‘Behold, I will ^(A)restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And ^(B)have compassion on his dwellings;
And the ^(C)city will be rebuilt on its ruins,
And the ^(D)palace will stand on its rightful place.
¹⁹From them will come a ^(E)song of thanksgiving
And the voices of those who ^[a]^(F)celebrate;
And I will ^(G)multiply them and they will not decrease;
I will ^(H)honor them and they will not be insignificant.
²⁰^[b]Their children also will be as before,
And ^[c]their congregation will be ^(I)established before Me;
And I will punish all ^[d]their oppressors.
²¹^[e]Their ^(J)leader shall be one of them,
And ^[f]their ruler will come out from ^[g]their midst;
And I will ^(K)bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For ^[h]who would dare to risk his life to ^(L)approach Me?’ declares the Lord.
²²‘You shall be ^(M)My people,
And I will be your God.’”
