“That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.”
The liberation promise—'saying to the prisoners, "Come out," to those who are in darkness, "Show yourselves." They shall feed along the ways, on all the bare heights shall be their pasture'—declares that captives will be freed and fed. The direct address to prisoners and those in darkness echoes the first servant song's language about healing the blind and imprisoned. The promise of abundant pasture suggests restoration of material abundance. This verse makes restoration tangible through promise of feeding and freedom.
