Isaiah 40:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ Jerusalem, you have good news to tell.
    Go up on a high mountain.
Jerusalem, you have good news to tell.
    Shout out loud the good news.
Shout it out and don’t be afraid.
    Say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God.”
¹⁰ Look, the Lord God is coming with power
    to rule all the people.
Look, he will bring reward for his people;
    he will have their payment with him.
¹¹ He takes care of his people like a shepherd.
    He gathers them like lambs in his arms
    and carries them close to him.
He gently leads the mothers of the lambs.
