8  Thus says the Lord:

^s“In a time of favor I have answered you;

in a day of salvation I have helped you;

I will keep you and ^tgive you

as a covenant to the people,

to establish the land,

to apportion the desolate heritages,

9  ^usaying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’

to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’

They shall feed along the ways;

on all bare heights shall be their pasture;

10  ^vthey shall not hunger or thirst,

neither scorching wind nor ^wsun shall strike them,

for he who has pity on them will lead them,

and by springs of water will ^xguide them.

13  ^bSing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;

break forth, O mountains, into singing!

For the Lord has ^ccomforted his people

and will have compassion on his afflicted.
