ylt @Isaiah:49:8 @Thus said Jehovah : 'In a time of good pleasure I answered thee , And in a day of salvation I helped thee , And I keep thee , and give thee , For a covenant of the people , To establish the earth , To cause to inherit desolate inheritances . ylt @Isaiah:49:9 @To say to the bound , Go out , To those in darkness , Be uncovered . On the ways they feed , And in all high places is their pasture . ylt @Isaiah:49:10 @They do not hunger , nor thirst , Nor smite them doth mirage and sun , For He who is pitying them doth lead them , And by fountains of waters doth tend them . ylt @Isaiah:49:11 @And I have made all My mountains for a way , And My highways are lifted up . ylt @Isaiah:49:12 @Lo , these from afar come in , And lo , these from the north , and from the sea , And these from the land of Sinim . ylt @Isaiah:49:13 @Sing , O heavens , and joy , O earth , And break forth , O mountains , with singing , For comforted hath Jehovah His people , And His afflicted ones He doth pity . ylt @Isaiah:49:14 @And Zion saith , 'Jehovah hath forsaken me , And my Lord hath forgotten me .' ylt @Isaiah:49:15 @Forget doth a woman her suckling , The loved one -- the son of her womb ? Yea , these forget -- but I -- I forget not thee . ylt @Isaiah:49:16 @Lo , on the palms of the hand I have graven thee , Thy walls [are ] before Me continually . ylt @Isaiah:49:17 @Hastened have those building thee , Those destroying thee , and laying thee waste , go out from thee . ylt @Isaiah:49:18 @Lift up round about thine eyes and see , All of them have been gathered , They have come to thee . I live , an affirmation of Jehovah ! Surely all of them as an ornament thou puttest on , And thou bindest them on like a bride . ylt @Isaiah:49:19 @Because thy wastes , and thy desolate places , And the land of thy ruins , Surely now are straitened because of inhabitants , And far off have been those consuming thee . ylt @Isaiah:49:20 @Again do the sons of thy bereavement say in thine ears : 'The place is too strait for me , Come nigh to me -- and I dwell .' ylt @Isaiah:49:21 @And thou hast said in thy heart : 'Who hath begotten for me -- these ? And I bereaved and gloomy , A captive , and turned aside , And these -- who hath nourished ? Lo , I -- I was left by myself , these -- whence [are ] they ? ylt @Isaiah:49:22 @Thus said the Lord Jehovah : 'Lo , I lift up unto nations My hand , And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign , And they have brought thy sons in the bosom , And thy daughters on the shoulder are carried . ylt @Isaiah:49:23 @And kings have been thy nursing fathers , And their princesses thy nursing mothers ; Face to the earth -- they bow down to thee , And the dust of thy feet they lick up , And thou hast known that I [am ] Jehovah , That those expecting Me are not ashamed . ylt @Isaiah:49:24 @Is prey taken from the mighty ? And the captive of the righteous delivered ? ylt @Isaiah:49:25 @For thus said Jehovah : Even the captive of the mighty is taken , And the prey of the terrible is delivered , And with thy striver I strive , and thy sons I save . ylt @Isaiah:49:26 @And I have caused thine oppressors to eat their own flesh , And as new wine they drink their own blood , And known have all flesh that I , Jehovah , Thy saviour , and thy redeemer , [Am ] the Mighty One of Jacob !'
