Yahweh says, “I have answered you in an acceptable time.
    I have helped you in a day of salvation.
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,
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.

Restoration of Israel

This is what the Lord says:

“In the time of my favor(A) I will answer you,
    and in the day of salvation I will help you;(B)
I will keep(C) you and will make you
    to be a covenant for the people,(D)
to restore the land(E)
    and to reassign its desolate inheritances,(F)
to say to the captives,(G) ‘Come out,’
    and to those in darkness,(H) ‘Be free!’

“They will feed beside the roads
    and find pasture on every barren hill.(I)
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,(J)
    nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.(K)
He who has compassion(L) on them will guide(M) them
    and lead them beside springs(N) of water.
