Isaiah 49:11-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. I will turn all my mountains into roadway,and make my highways level.

12. See, these shall come from afar:some from the north and the west,others from the land of Syene.

13. Sing out, heavens, and rejoice, earth,break forth into song, you mountains,For the Lord comforts his peopleand shows mercy to his afflicted.

14. But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me;my Lord has forgotten me.”

15. Can a mother forget her infant,be without tenderness for the child of her womb?Even should she forget,I will never forget you.

16. See, upon the palms of my hands I have engraved you;your walls are ever before me.

17. Your children hasten—your levelers, your destroyersgo forth from you;
