7ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, the 1RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478 and its HolyH6918 OneH6918, To the 2despisedH960 One, To the One abhorredH8581 by the nationH1471, To the ServantH5650 of rulersH4910, “3KingsH4428 will seeH7200 and ariseH6965, PrincesH8269 will also 4bowH7812 downH7812, BecauseH4616 of the LordH3068 whoH834 is faithfulH539, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 who has chosenH977 You.”

8ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “In a 5favorableH7522 timeH6256 I have answeredH6030 You, And in a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 I have helpedH5826 You; And I will 6keepH5341 You and 7giveH5414 You for a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, To 89restoreH6965 the landH776, to make them inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159;9SayingH559 to those who are 10boundH631, ‘GoH3318 forthH3318,’ To those whoH834 are in darknessH2822, ‘ShowH1540 yourselves.’ AlongH5921 the roadsH1870 they will feedH7462, And their pastureH4830 will be on allH3605 11bareH8205 heightsH8205.10They will 12not hungerH7456 or thirstH6770, NorH3808 will the scorchingH8273 13heatH8273 or sunH8121 strikeH5221 them downH5221; For 14He who hasH7355 compassionH7355 on them will 15leadH5090 them And will guideH5095 them to 16springsH4002 of waterH4325.11I will makeH7760 allH3605 17My mountainsH2022 a roadH1870, And My 18highwaysH4546 will be raisedH7311 up.12BeholdH2009, theseH428 will comeH935 19from afarH7350; And loH2009, theseH428 will come from the 20northH6828 and from the westH3220, And theseH428 from the landH776 of SinimH5515.”1321ShoutH7442 for joyH7442, O heavensH8064! And rejoiceH1523, O earthH776! BreakH6476 forthH6476 into joyfulH7440 shoutingH7440, O mountainsH2022! For the 22LordH3068 has comfortedH5162 His peopleH5971 And will 23haveH7355 compassionH7355 on His afflictedH6041.

14But ZionH6726 saidH559, “The LordH3068 has forsakenH5800 me, And the LordH136 has forgottenH7911 me.”15“Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her nursingH5764 childH5764 And haveH7355 noH4480 compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? EvenH1571 theseH428 may forgetH7911, but 24I will not forgetH7911 you.16BeholdH2005, I have 25inscribedH2710 you on the palmsH3709 of My hands; Your 26wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 beforeH5048 Me.
