Isaiah 49:9 CPDV

⁷  Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to a contemptible soul, to an abominable nation, to the servant of lords: The kings will see, and the princes will rise up, and they will adore, because of the Lord. For he is faithful, and he is the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.

⁸  Thus says the Lord: In a pleasing time, I have heeded you, and in the day of salvation, I have assisted you. And I have preserved you, and I have presented you as a covenant of the people, so that you would lift up the earth, and possess the scattered inheritances,

⁹  so that you would say to those who are bound, 'Go forth!' and to those who are in darkness, 'Be released!' They will pasture along the roads, and their pastures will be in every open place.

¹⁰  They will not hunger or thirst, nor will the heat of the sun beat down upon them. For the one who takes pity on them will rule them, and he will give them to drink from fountains of waters.

¹¹  And I will make all my mountains into a road, and my paths will be exalted.
