Isaiah 49:7-15 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

7. the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One,says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers:“Kings shall see and rise up;princes, and they shall worship;because of the Lord who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

8. the Lord says, “In an acceptable time I have answered you,and in a day of salvation I have helped you.I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people,to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage,

9. saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’;to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’“They shall feed along the paths,and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.

10. They shall not hunger nor thirst;neither shall the heat nor sun strike them:for he who has mercy on them will lead them.He will guide them by springs of water.

11. I will make all my mountains a road,and my highways shall be exalted.

12. Behold, these shall come from afar;and behold, these from the north and from the west;and these from the land of Sinim.”

13. Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth;and break out into singing, mountains:for the Lord has comforted his people,and will have compassion on his afflicted.

14. But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,and the Lord has forgotten me.”

15. “Can a woman forget her nursing child,that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?Yes, these may forget,yet I will not forget you!
