ישעיה מט:ח
כֹּה | אָמַר יְהֹוָה
בְּעֵת רָצוֹן עֲנִיתִיךָ
וּבְיוֹם יְשׁוּעָה עֲזַרְתִּיךָ
וְאֶצָּרְךָ
וְאֶתֶּנְךָ לִבְרִית עָם
לְהָקִים אֶרֶץ
לְהַנְחִיל נְחָלוֹת שֹׁמֵמוֹת:

1 Nephi 21:8

Thus saith the Lord:

In an acceptable time have I heard thee, O isles of the sea,

and in a day of salvation have I helped thee;

and I will preserve thee, and give thee my servant

for a covenant of the people,

to establish the earth,

to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

ישעיה מט:ט
לֵאמֹר לַאֲסוּרִים
צֵאוּ
לַאֲשֶׁר בַּחֹשֶׁךְ
הִגָּלוּ
עַל-דְּרָכִים יִרְעוּ
וּבְכָל-שְׁפָיִים מַרְעִיתָם:

1 Nephi 21:9

That thou mayest say to the prisoners:

Go forth;

to them that sit in darkness:

Show yourselves.

They shall feed in the ways,

and their pastures shall be in all high places.

ישעיה מט:י
לֹא יִרְעָבוּ וְלֹא יִצְמָאוּ
וְלֹא-יַכֵּם שָׁרָב וָשָׁמֶשׁ
כִּי-מְרַחֲמָם יְנַהֲגֵם
וְעַל-מַבּוּעֵי מַיִם יְנַהֲלֵם:

1 Nephi 21:10

They shall not hunger nor thirst,

neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them;

for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them,

even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

ישעיה מט:יא
וְשַֹמְתִּי כָל-הָרַי לַדָּרֶךְ
וּמְסִלֹּתַי יְרֻמוּן:

1 Nephi 21:11

And I will make all my mountains a way,

and my highways shall be exalted.

ישעיה מט:יב
הִנֵּה-אֵלֶּה מֵרָחוֹק יָבֹאוּ
וְהִנֵּה-אֵלֶּה מִצָּפוֹן וּמִיָּם
וְאֵלֶּה מֵאֶרֶץ סִינִים:

1 Nephi 21:12

And then, O house of Israel,

behold, these shall come from far;

and lo, these from the north and from the west;

and these from the land of Sinim.
