Isaiah 49:9

Isaiah 49:9

7 Thus says the Lord,
The Redeemer of Israel,¹ their Holy One,
^aTo Him¹ whom man despises,
To Him whom the nation abhors,
To the Servant of rulers:
^b“Kings shall see and arise,
Princes also shall worship,
Because of the Lord who is faithful,
The Holy One of Israel;
And He has chosen You.”

8 Thus says the Lord:
“In an ^aacceptable time I have heard You,
And in the day of salvation I have helped You;
I will¹ preserve You ^band give You
As a covenant to the people,
To restore the earth,
To cause them to inherit the desolate¹ heritages;

9 That You may say ^ato the prisoners, ‘Go forth,’
To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’
“They shall feed along the roads,
And their pastures shall be on all desolate heights.

10 They shall neither ^ahunger nor thirst,
^bNeither heat nor sun shall strike them;
For He who has mercy on them ^cwill lead them,
Even by the springs of water He will guide them.

11 ^aI will make each of My mountains a road,
And My highways shall be elevated.

12 Surely ^athese shall come from afar;
Look! Those from the north and the west,
And these from the land of Sinim.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 49:8

Isaiah 49:10 >>

Prisoners - To the Gentiles who are fast bound by the cords of their sins, and taken captive by the devil at his will. Go forth - Come forth to the light, receive divine illumination. In high places - They shall have abundant provision in all places, yea even in those which commonly are unfruitful, such are both common roads and high grounds.
