THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Isaiah 49:12 in context

Isaiah 49:9–15

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.

He will guide them by springs of water.

I will make all my mountains a road,

and my highways shall be exalted.

Selected verse

Behold, these shall come from afar,

and behold, these from the north and from the west,

and these from the land of Sinim.”

Sing, heavens, and be joyful, earth!

Break out into singing, mountains!

For the LORD has comforted his people,

and will have compassion on his afflicted.

But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me,

and the Lord has forgotten me.”

“Can a woman forget her nursing child,

that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?

Yes, these may forget,

yet I will not forget you!
