Isaiah 49:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer(A) of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,[a](B)
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see and stand up,
and princes[b] will bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel(C)—and He has chosen you.”(D)
8 This is what the Lord says:
I will answer you in a time of favor,
and I will help you in the day of salvation.(E)
I will keep you, and I will appoint you
to be a covenant for the people,(F)
to restore the land,
to make them possess the desolate inheritances,
9 saying to the prisoners: Come out,(G)
and to those who are in darkness: Show yourselves.
They will feed along the pathways,
and their pastures will be on all the barren heights.(H)
