9 saying to the prisoners, "Come out,"and to those in darkness, "Show yourselves."Along the roads animals will graze;their pasture will be on every treeless hilltop.
10 They won’t hunger or thirst;the burning heat and sun won’t strike them,because one who has compassion for them will lead themand will guide them by springs of water.
11 I will turn all my mountains into roads;my highways will be built up.
12 Look! These will come from far away.Look! These from the north and west,and these from the southland.
13 Sing, heavens! Rejoice, earth!Break out, mountains, with a song.The Lord has comforted his people,and taken pity on those who suffer.
14 But Zion says, "The Lord has abandoned me;my Lord has forgotten me."
15 Can a woman forget her nursing child,fail to pity the child of her womb?Even these may forget,but I won’t forget you.
