Thus says the Lcxn:
‘ In the time of delight I have spoken;
In the Day of Salvation have helped you;
And will guard and will give to the Covenant People,
To lift up the land,·———to apportiou the wasted estates;
T0 say to the Prisoners, ‘ Come out E ’ to the Dungeoned, ‘ Be free ! ’
By the paths there is food, and on all plains is pasture.
You shall not hunger or thirst, nor be struck by the heat of the Sun,
For their Pitier will lead, and to water—springs guide.
Will level all hills, and make banks for their paths.
Look l» These came from afar! These from the Northwest!
And those from the land of the Sinim.
Let the skies cheer, and Earth smile!
Burst, you mountains, in cheers,
For the LORD at last pities His people,
HE pities His poor!
But Zion murmurs
‘ The LORD has abandoned, th' Almighty forgotten l ’
?--
Forgets Woman her.suck1ing—-—not pity her baby
Yes! they may forget,—-but not I forget you!
In My hands I have handled, your walls stand before Me,
Your destroyers shall build you, your wasters sue to you.
Cast your eyes round and see,-—·all collecting approach,
All shall clothe you with honours,
You shall wear them, like jewels, your plunderers and wasters,
Who tore up your land, which your people will fill,
And drive out your devourers.
Then the sons you had lost, shall exclaim in your hearing
‘ This place is too narrow, make room for my dwelling.’
And you say to your heart, ‘ Who begot me all these?
I was widowed and lonely, an outcast and captive, and prisoner,
So whobrought up these?
I was shattered to pieces,
So then these, whose were they?’

Thus says the Loan, the Ar,M1o1—1·rY:
‘ Look! to the Heathen I lift up My hand;
And My Banner rear up to the Peoples;
And your boys and your girls they shall bring to your lap,
And shall carry them raised on their shoulders!
And Kings be ·your Guardians, and Queens be your nurses,
And eaxthward their faces shall bow, and lick dust from your feet,
And acknowledge that I am the LORD, Who disgrace not My faithful!

Who can take spoil from the strong ?
Can the captive of Power escape ?
Yes, Thus says the LORD;
'The slaves may be seized from the Strong,
And the spoil may be torn from the Fierce,
