“And I will make all My mountains a roadway,
And My highways will be raised.

“In fact, these will come from far away;
And, lo, these shall come from the north and from the west,
And these from the land of [a]Aswan (southern Egypt).”
13 
Shout for joy, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth,
And break forth into singing, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted His people
And will have compassion on His afflicted.

  1. Isaiah 49:12 A reading favored by DSS; MT has Sinim, traditionally interpreted as China, which is unlikely. The Greek (LXX) indicates Persia, the Latin (Vulgate) has “southern land.”

11 I will turn all my mountains into roads,
    and my highways(A) will be raised up.(B)
12 See, they will come from afar(C)
    some from the north, some from the west,(D)
    some from the region of Aswan.[a]

13 Shout for joy,(E) you heavens;
    rejoice, you earth;(F)
    burst into song, you mountains!(G)
For the Lord comforts(H) his people
    and will have compassion(I) on his afflicted ones.(J)
