Isaiah 49:14-21

14But ZionH6726 saidH559, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgottenH7911 me. 15Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her sucking child, that she should not have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? yea, these may forgetH7911, yet will not I forgetH7911 thee. 16Behold, I have graven thee upon the palmsH3709 of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 before me. 17Thy children makeH4116 hasteH4116; thy destroyers and they that madeH4116 thee waste shall goH3318 forthH3318 from thee. 18LiftH5375 up thine eyesH5869 roundH5439 about, and behold: all these gatherH6908 themselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I live, saith Jehovah, thou shalt surely clotheH3847 thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a brideH3618. 19For, as for thy wasteH2723 and thy desolateH8074 placesH2723, and thy landH776 that hath been destroyed, surely nowH6258 shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitantsH3427, and they that swallowedH1104 thee up shall be farH7368 awayH7368. 20The children of thy bereavement shall yetH5750 sayH559 in thine earsH241, The placeH4725 is too strait for me; give placeH4725 to me that I may dwellH3427. 21Then shalt thou sayH559 in thy heartH3824, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereavedH7921 of my children, and am solitary, an exileH1473, and wandering to and fro? and who hath broughtH3205 up these? Behold, I was leftH7604 aloneH905; these, whereH375 were they?
