7ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the 1RedeemerH1350 of IsraelH3478 and its HolyH6918 OneH6918, SaysH559 to the 23despisedH960 One, To the One abhorredH8581 by the nationH1471, To the ServantH5650 of rulersH4910: “4KingsH4428 will seeH7200 and ariseH6965, PrincesH8269 will also 5bowH2331 downH2331, BecauseH4616 of the LordH3068 whoH834 is faithfulH539, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 who has chosenH977 You.”

8ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “At a 6favorableH7522 timeH6256 I answeredH6030 You, And on a dayH3117 of salvationH3444 I helpedH5826 You; And I will 7watchH5341 overH5341 You and 8makeH5414 You a covenantH1285 of the peopleH5971, To 910restoreH6965 the landH776, to giveH5157 asH5157 inheritancesH5157 the desertedH8074 hereditaryH5159 landsH5159;9SayingH559 to those who are 11boundH631, ‘12GoH3318 freeH3318,’ To those whoH834 are in darknessH2822, ‘ShowH1540 yourselves.’ They will feedH7462 alongH5921 the roadsH1870, And their pastureH4830 will be on allH3605 13bareH8205 heightsH8205.10They will 14not hungerH7456 or thirstH6770, NorH3808 will the scorchingH8273 15heatH8273 or sunH8121 strikeH5221 them downH5221; For 16He who hasH7355 compassionH7355 onH7355 them will 17leadH5090 them, And He will guideH5095 them to 18springsH4002 of waterH4325.11I will makeH7760 allH3605 19My mountainsH2022 a roadH1870, And My 20highwaysH4546 will be raisedH7311 upH7311.12BeholdH2009, theseH428 will comeH935 21from afarH7350; And beholdH2009, theseH428 will come from the 22northH6828 and from the westH3220, And theseH428 from the landH776 of AswanH5515.”1323ShoutH7442 forH7442 joyH7442, you heavensH8064! And rejoiceH1523, you earthH776! BreakH6476 forthH6476 into joyfulH7440 shoutingH7440, mountainsH2022! For the 24LordH3068 has comfortedH5162 His peopleH5971 And will 25haveH7355 compassionH7355 onH7355 His afflictedH6041.

14But ZionH6726 saidH559, “The LordH3068 has abandonedH5800 me, And the LordH136 has forgottenH7911 me.”15“Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her nursingH5764 childH5764 And haveH7355 noH4480 compassionH7355 onH7355 the sonH1121 of her wombH990? EvenH1571 theseH428 may forgetH7911, but 26I will not forgetH7911 you.16BeholdH2005, I have 27inscribedH2710 you on the palmsH3709 of My hands; Your 28wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 beforeH5048 Me.
