because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
Yahweh says, “I have answered you in an acceptable time.
I have helped you in a day of salvation.
I will preserve you and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage,
saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them:
for he who has mercy on them will lead them.
