Isaiah 49:25Easy To Read VersionBut the Lord says,\par “The prisoners will escape.\par Someone will take those prisoners\par away from the strong soldier.\par \{How will this happen?\}\par I will fight your fights.\par I will save your children.\par See the chapter |
\{In the future,\} the Lord will again show his love to Jacob. The Lord will again choose the people of Israel. \{At that time,\} the Lord will give those people their land. Then non-Jewish people {\cf2\super [146]} will join themselves to the Jewish people. Both people will join and become one family—Jacob’s family.
Those nations will take the people of Israel back to Israel’s land. Those men and women from the other nations will become slaves to Israel. \{In the past,\} those people forced the people of Israel to become their slaves. But \{at this time,\} the people of Israel will defeat those nations and Israel will then rule over them.
\{Lord\} you are a safe place\par for poor people that have needs.\par Many problems begin to defeat these people,\par but you protect them.\par \{Lord\} you are like a house protecting people\par from floods and heat.\par Troubles are like terrible winds and rain.\par The rain hits the wall and runs down,\par but the people in the house are not hurt.\par
