Isaiah 49:14-26

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?

22ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah, Behold, I will liftH5375 up my handH3027 to the nationsH1471, and set up my ensign to the peoplesH5971; and they shall bringH935 thy sonsH1121 in their bosomH2684, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 upon their shouldersH3802. 23And kingsH4428 shall beH1961 thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bowH7812 downH7812 to thee with their facesH639 to the earthH776, and lickH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am Jehovah; and they that waitH6960 for me shall not beH1961 putH954 to shameH954.

24Shall the prey be takenH3947 from the mightyH1368, or the lawful captivesH7628 be deliveredH4422? 25But thusH3541 saith Jehovah, Even the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 shall be takenH3947 awayH3947, and the prey of the terrible shall be deliveredH3467; for I will contendH7378 with him that contendeth with thee, and I will saveH3467 thy children. 26And I will feed them that oppressH3238 thee with their own fleshH1320; and they shall be drunken with their own bloodH1818, as with sweetH6071 wineH6071: and all fleshH1320 shall knowH3045 that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy RedeemerH1350, the MightyH46 One of JacobH3290.
