Isaiah 49:8-18

8ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, In an acceptableH7522 time have I answeredH559 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 upH6965 the landH776, to makeH5414 them inheritH5157 the desolateH8074 heritagesH5159;

9sayingH559 to them that are boundH631, GoH3318 forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, Shew yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and on allH3605 bareH8205 heightsH8205 shall be their pastureH4830.

10They shall notH3808 hungerH7456 norH3808 thirstH6770; neitherH3808 shall the heatH8273 norH3808 sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5095 them, evenH3588 by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them.

11And I will makeH7760 allH3605 my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311.

12LoH2009, theseH428 shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, loH2009, theseH428 from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and theseH428 from the landH776 of SinimH5515.

13SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyfulH7440, O earthH776; and breakH6476 forthH6476 intoH776 singingH7440, O mountainsH2022: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have compassionH7355 upon his afflictedH6041.

14But ZionH6726 saidH559, JehovahH3068 hath forsaken meH7911, and the LordH3068 hath forgottenH7911 meH7911.

15CanH1121 a womanH802 forgetH7911 herH802 sucking childH1121, that sheH3808 should notH3808 have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of herH802 wombH990? yea, theseH428 may forgetH7911, yet will notH3808 I forgetH7911 thee.

16BeholdH2005, I have graven thee uponH5921 the palmsH3709 of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 beforeH5048 meH5921.

17Thy childrenH1121 makeH4116 hasteH4116; thy destroyersH2040 and they that madeH4116 thee waste shall goH3318 forthH3318 of thee.

18LiftH5375 upH5375 thine eyesH5869 roundH5439 aboutH5439, and beholdH7200: allH3605 theseH3605 gatherH6908 themselvesH6908 togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I l liveH2416, saith the LORDH3068, thou shalt surelyH3588 clotheH3847 thee with them allH3605 as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a brideH3618.
