God's Word Translation

Isaiah 49:11-17 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. I will turn all my mountains into roads,and my highways will be restored.

12. They will come from far away.They will come from the north and from the west,and they will come from the land of Sinim.

13. Sing with joy, you heavens!Rejoice, you earth!Break into shouts of joy, you mountains!The Lord has comforted his peopleand will have compassion on his humble people.

14. But Zion said, “The Lord has abandoned me.My Lord has forgotten me.”

15. Can a woman forget her nursing child?Will she have no compassion on the child from her womb?Although mothers may forget,I will not forget you.

16. I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.Your walls are always in my presence.

17. Your children will hurry back.Those who destroyed you and laid waste to you will leave you.
