19 "Though you were ruined and made desolate and your land laid waste, now you will be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away. As surely as I live," declares the LORD, "you will wear them all as ornaments you will put them on, like a bride. 18 Lift up your eyes and look around all your sons gather and come to you. 17 Your sons hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you. 14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." 15 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands your walls are ever before me. " 13 Shout for joy, O heavens rejoice, O earth burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
12 See, they will come from afar- some from the north, some from the west, some from the region of Aswan. 11 I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water. 10 They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth." 7 This is what the LORD says- the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel- to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: "Kings will see you and rise up, princes will see and bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you." 8 This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, 9 to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!'"They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill. Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand, and my reward is with my God." 5 And now the LORD says- he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength- 6 he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
3 He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor." 4 But I said, "I have labored to no purpose I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing. 2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver. 1 Listen to me, you islands hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me from my birth he has made mention of my name.
