9. saying to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pasture shall be on all bare hills.

11. And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be raised up.
12. Behold, these shall come from afar; and behold, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
13. Shout, ye heavens; and be joyful, thou earth; and break forth into singing, ye mountains: for Jehovah hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted ones.
14. But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.
15. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Even these forget, but I will not forget thee.
16. Lo, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
