⁸ Ask me,

⁶ he says:
“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant^(A)
    to restore the tribes of Jacob
    and bring back those of Israel I have kept.^(B)
I will also make you a light^(C) for the Gentiles,^(D)
    that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”^(E)

⁷ This is what the Lord says—
    the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel^(F)—
to him who was despised^(G) and abhorred by the nation,
    to the servant of rulers:
“Kings^(H) will see you and stand up,
    princes will see and bow down,^(I)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,^(J)
    the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen^(K) you.”

“In the time of my favor^(L) I will answer you,
    and in the day of salvation I will help you;^(M)
I will keep^(N) you and will make you
    to be a covenant for the people,^(O)
to restore the land^(P)
    and to reassign its desolate inheritances,^(Q)
9 to say to the captives,^(R) ‘Come out,’
    and to those in darkness,^(S) ‘Be free!’

“They will feed beside the roads
    and find pasture on every barren hill.^(T)
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,^(U)
    nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.^(V)
He who has compassion^(W) on them will guide^(X) them
    and lead them beside springs^(Y) of water.
¹¹ I will turn all my mountains into roads,
    and my highways^(Z) will be raised up.^(AA)
12 See, they will come from afar^(AB)—
    some from the north, some from the west,^(AC)
    some from the region of Aswan.^[a]”

¹¹ My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.^(A)
