10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; and the burning sand and sun shall not smite them; for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, and by springs of water shall he guide them.

11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

12 Behold, these shall come from afar; and behold, these from the north and from the sea; and these from the land of Sinim.

13 Sing, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth; and break forth into, singing, ye mountains; for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

14 And Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.
