Isaiah 49:11

Isaiah 49:11

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.”

13 ^aSing, O heavens!
Be joyful, O earth!
And break out in singing, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
And will have mercy on His afflicted.

God Will Remember Zion

14 ^aBut Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
And my Lord has forgotten me.”

15 “Can^a a woman forget her nursing child,
¹And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
^bYet I will not forget you.
