⁷ God gives a home to the forsaken,
    who leads prisoners out to prosperity,
    while rebels live in the desert.^[a]

⁹ To say to the prisoners: Come out!
    To those in darkness: Show yourselves!
Along the roadways they shall find pasture,
    on every barren height shall their pastures be.^(A)

^1 [a]The spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
    because the Lord has anointed me;
He has sent me to bring good news to the afflicted,
    to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
    release to the prisoners,^(A)
