Isaiah 49:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ This is what the Lord says:
“There will be a special time when I show my kindness.
    Then I will answer your prayers.
There will be a special day when I will save you.
    Then I will help you and protect you.
    And you will be the proof of my agreement with the people.
The country is destroyed now,
    but you will give the land back to the people who own it.
⁹ You will tell the prisoners,
    ‘Come out of your prison!’
You will tell those who are in darkness,
    ‘Come out of the dark!’
The people will eat along the road,
    and they will have food even on empty hills.
¹⁰ They will not be hungry or thirsty.
    The hot sun and wind will not hurt them.
Their Comforter will lead them.
    He will lead them by springs of water.
