Isaiah 40

10 *Is 62.11;Rev 22.12.Look! The powerful Lord God

is coming to rule

with his mighty arm.

He brings with him

what he has taken in war,

and he rewards his people.

11 *Ez 34.15;Jn 10.11.The Lord cares for his nation,

just as shepherds care

for their flocks.

He carries the lambs

in his arms,

while gently leading

the mother sheep.
