Isaiah 49:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Thus saith the Lord, [a]In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and will give [b]thee for a covenant of the people, that thou mayest raise up the [c]earth, and obtain the inheritance of the desolate heritages:
9 That thou mayest say to the [d]prisoners, Go forth; and to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves; they shall feed in the ways, and their [e]pastures shall be in all the tops of the hills.
10 They shall not be hungry, neither shall they be thirsty, neither shall the heat smite them, nor the sun, for he that hath compassion [f]on them, shall lead them; even to the springs of water shall he drive them.
