New Testament

Isaiah 49:7-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. Thus says the Lord,the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,to the despised one, to the one whom the nation abhors,to the servant of rulers:“Kings shall see and arise,princes also shall worship,because of the Lord who is faithfuland the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you.”

8. Thus says the Lord: In an acceptable time I have heard you,and in a day of salvation I have helped you;and I will preserve you, and give youas a covenant of the people,to restore the earth,to make them inherit the desolate heritages,

9. saying to the prisoners, “Go forth,”to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves.” They shall feed along the paths,and their pastures shall be in all desolate heights;

10. they shall not hunger nor thirst,neither shall the heat nor sun strike them;for He who has mercy on them shall lead them,even by the springs of water He shall guide them.

11. I will make all My mountains a road,and My highways shall be raised up.

12. See, these shall come from afar;and these will come from the north and from the west,and these from the land of Sinim.
