Isaiah 49:7-16

7ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478, and his HolyH6918 OneH6918, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nationH1471 abhorreth, to a servantH5650 of rulers: KingsH4428 shall seeH7200 and ariseH6965; princesH8269, and they shall worship; because of Jehovah that is faithfulH539, even the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, who hath chosenH977 thee.

8ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, In an acceptable timeH6256 have I answered thee, and in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 have I helpedH5826 thee; and I will preserveH5341 thee, and giveH5414 thee for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, to raiseH6965 up the landH776, to makeH5414 them inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritages; 9sayingH559 to them that are boundH631, GoH3318 forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, Show yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and on all bareH8205 heightsH8205 shall be their pastureH4830. 10They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sunH8121 smite them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them will leadH5095 them, even by springs of waterH4325 will he guide them. 11And I will makeH7760 all my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311. 12Lo, these shall comeH935 from farH7350; and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of Sinim. 13SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyful, O earthH776; and breakH6476 forthH6476 into singing, O mountainsH2022: for Jehovah hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have compassionH7355 upon his afflictedH6041.

14But ZionH6726 saidH559, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgottenH7911 me. 15Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her sucking child, that she should not have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? yea, these may forgetH7911, yet will not I forgetH7911 thee. 16Behold, I have graven thee upon the palmsH3709 of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 before me.
