Isaiah 49:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸ Thus says the Lord:
In a time of favour I have answered you,
    on a day of salvation I have helped you;
I have kept you and given you
    as a covenant to the people,^[a]
to establish the land,
    to apportion the desolate heritages;
⁹ saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out’,
    to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’
They shall feed along the ways,
    on all the bare heights^[b] shall be their pasture;
¹⁰ they shall not hunger or thirst,
    neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them down,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
    and by springs of water will guide them.
