Berean Standard Bible

Isaiah 49:20-26

20YetH5750 the childrenH1121 of your bereavementH7923 will 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?’”

22This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:

“BeholdH2009, I will lift upH5375 My handH3027 toH413 the nationsH1471,and raiseH7311 My bannerH5251 toH413 the peoplesH5971.They will bringH935 your sonsH1121 in their armsH2684 1and carryH5375 your daughtersH1323 onH5921 their shouldersH3802.23KingsH4428 will beH1961 your foster fathersH539,and their queensH8282 your nursing mothersH3243.They will bowH7812 to you facedownH639 H776and lickH3897 the dustH6083 at your feetH7272.Then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068;those whoH834 hope in MeH6960 will neverH3808 be put to shameH954.”

24Can the plunderH4455 be snatchedH3947 from the mightyH1368,orH518 the captivesH7628 of a tyrantH6662 2 be deliveredH4422?

25IndeedH3588, this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

“EvenH1571 the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 will be taken awayH3947,and the plunderH4455 of the tyrantH6184 will be retrievedH4422;IH595 will contendH7378 withH854 those who contend with youH3401,and IH595 will saveH3467 your childrenH1121.26I will make your oppressorsH3238 eatH398 their own fleshH1320;they will be drunkH7937 on their own bloodH1818, as with wineH6071.Then allH3605 mankindH1320 will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589, the LORDH3068,am your SaviorH3467 and your RedeemerH1350,the MightyH46 One of JacobH3290.”
