⁸ This is what the Lord says:
“At a ^(A)favorable time I answered You,
And on a day of salvation I helped You;
And I will ^(B)watch over You and ^(C)make You a covenant of the people,
To ^[a](D)restore the land, to give as inheritances the deserted hereditary lands;
⁹ Saying to those who are ^(E)bound, ‘^[b]Go free,’
To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’
They will feed along the roads,
And their pasture will be on all ^(F)bare heights.
¹⁰ They will ^(G)not hunger or thirst,
Nor will the scorching ^(H)heat or sun strike them down;
For ^(I)He who has compassion on them will ^(J)lead them,
And He will guide them to ^(K)springs of water.
