Isaiah 49:20-26

20The 1children of 2whom you were bereaved will yet say in your ears, ‘The place is too cramped for me; Make room for me that I may live here.’21Then you will 3say in your heart, ‘Who has begotten these for me, Since I have been bereaved of my children And am 4barren, an 5exile and a wanderer? And who has reared these? Behold, I was 6left alone; 78From where did these come?’”

22Thus says the Lord 9God, “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations And set up My 10standard to the peoples; And they will 11bring your sons in their bosom, And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.2312Kings will be your guardians, And their princesses your nurses. They will 13bow down to you with their faces to the earth And 14lick the dust of your feet; And you will 15know that I am the Lord; Those who hopefully 16wait for Me will 17not be put to shame.

24“18Can the prey be taken from the mighty man, Or the captives of 19a tyrant be rescued?” 25Surely, thus says the Lord, “Even the 20captives of the mighty man will be taken away, And the prey of the tyrant will be rescued; For I will contend with the one who contends with you, And I will 21save your sons.26I will feed your 22oppressors with their 23own flesh, And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine; And 24all flesh will know that I, the Lord, am your 25Savior And your 26Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
