10. They will neither hunger nor thirst,nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.He who has compassion on them will guide themand lead them beside springs of water.
11. I will turn all my mountains into roads,and my highways will be raised up.
12. See, they will come from afar –some from the north, some from the west,some from the region of Aswan.’
13. Shout for joy, you heavens;rejoice, you earth;burst into song, you mountains!For the Lord comforts his peopleand will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
14. But Zion said, ‘The Lord has forsaken me,the Lord has forgotten me.’
15. ‘Can a mother forget the baby at her breastand have no compassion on the child she has borne?Though she may forget,I will not forget you!
16. See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;your walls are ever before me.
17. Your children hasten back,and those who laid you waste depart from you.
