Isaiah 49:12-14
Amplified Bible
12
“In fact, these will come from far away;
And, lo, these shall come from the north and from the west,
And these from the land of [a]Aswan (southern Egypt).”
13
Shout for joy, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth,
And break forth into singing, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted His people
And will have compassion on His afflicted.
Promise to Zion
14
But Zion (Jerusalem in captivity) said, “The Lord has abandoned me,
And my Lord has forgotten me.”
