Isaiah 49:14-21

14But ZionH6726 saidH559, “The LORDH3068 has forsaken meH5800; the LordH136 has forgotten meH7911!”

15“Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her nursing childH5764,or lack compassionH7355 for the sonH1121 of her wombH990?Even ifH1571 sheH428 could forgetH7911,I willH595 notH3808 forget youH7911!16BeholdH2005, I have inscribed youH2710 onH5921 the palms of My handsH3709;your wallsH2346 are everH8548 before MeH5048.17Your buildersH1121 1 hasten backH4116;your destroyersH2040 and wreckersH2717 departH3318 from youH4480.18Lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 and lookH7200 aroundH5439.They allH3605 gather togetherH6908; they comeH935 to you.As surely as IH589 liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068 ,“you will wear themH3847 allH3605 as jewelryH5716and put them onH7194 like a brideH3618.19ForH3588 your ruinedH2723 and desolate placesH8074and your ravaged landH776 H2035will nowH6258 indeedH3588 be too smallH3334 for your peopleH3427,and those who devoured youH1104 will be far awayH7368.20YetH5750 the childrenH1121 of your bereavementH7923will sayH559 in your hearingH241,‘This placeH4725 is too small for usH6862;make roomH5066 for us to live hereH3427.’

21Then you will sayH559 in your heartH3824,‘WhoH4310 has begottenH3205 theseH428 for me?IH589 was bereavedH7909 and barrenH1565;I was exiledH1540 and rejectedH5494.So whoH4310 has reared themH428 H1431?LookH2005, IH589 was leftH7604 all aloneH905,soH428 whereH375 did they come fromH1992?’”
