Isaiah 49:6-12

6He says, “It is too 1small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the 2protected ones of Israel; I will also make You a 3light 4of the nations So that My salvation may 5reach to the 6end of the earth.”7This is what the Lord, the 7Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One, Says to the 89despised One, To the One abhorred by the nation, To the Servant of rulers: “10Kings will see and arise, Princes will also 11bow down, Because of the Lord who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.”

8This is what the Lord says: “At a 12favorable time I answered You, And on a day of salvation I helped You; And I will 13watch over You and 14make You a covenant of the people, To 1516restore the land, to give as inheritances the deserted hereditary lands;9Saying to those who are 17bound, ‘18Go free,’ To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They will feed along the roads, And their pasture will be on all 19bare heights.10They will 20not hunger or thirst, Nor will the scorching 21heat or sun strike them down; For 22He who has compassion on them will 23lead them, And He will guide them to 24springs of water.11I will make all 25My mountains a road, And My 26highways will be raised up.12Behold, these will come 27from afar; And behold, these will come from the 28north and from the west, And these from the land of Aswan.”
