Berean Standard Bible
Isaiah 49:18-23
18Lift up your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on like a bride.19For your ruined and desolate places and your ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away.20Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’
21Then you will say in your heart,‘Who has begotten these for me?I was bereaved and barren;I was exiled and rejected.So who has reared them?Look, I was left all alone,so where did they come from?’”
22This is what the Lord GOD says:
“Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations,and raise My banner to the peoples.They will bring your sons in their arms1and carry your daughters on their shoulders.23Kings will be your foster fathers,and their queens your nursing mothers.They will bow to you facedownand lick the dust at your feet.Then you will know that I am the LORD;those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”
