Isaiah 40:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ Climb to the top of a high mountain,
    O Zion, herald of good tidings.
Cry out as loudly as you can,
    O Jerusalem, herald of good news.
Lift up your voice without fear
    and proclaim to the cities of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”
¹⁰ See the Lord God approaching with power,
    he who rules with his powerful arm.
His reward is with him
    and his recompense^[a] is before him.
¹¹ He will feed his flock like a shepherd,
    and in his arms he will gather the lambs,
carrying them in his bosom
    and gently leading the pregnant ewes to water.
