They will get food by the way wherever they go, and have grass-lands on all the dry mountain-tops. 10 They will not be in need of food or drink, or be troubled by the heat or the sun: for he who has mercy on them will be their guide, taking them by the springs of water. 11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways will be lifted up. 12 See, these are coming from far; and these from the north and the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
