Isaiah 49:14-21
14But ZionH6726 saidH559, “The LordH3068 has forsakenH5800 me, And the LordH136 has forgottenH7911 me.”15“Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her nursingH5764 childH5764 And haveH7355 noH4480 compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? EvenH1571 theseH428 may forgetH7911, but 1I will not forgetH7911 you.16BeholdH2005, I have 2inscribedH2710 you on the palmsH3709 of My hands; Your 3wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 beforeH5048 Me.17Your 4buildersH1121 hurryH4116; Your 5destroyersH2040 and devastatorsH2717 Will departH3318 from you.186LiftH5375 up your eyesH5869 and lookH7200 aroundH5439; 7AllH3605 of them gatherH6908 together, 8they comeH935 to you. 9As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “You will surelyH3588 10putH3847 on allH3605 of them as 11jewelsH5716 and bindH7194 them on as a brideH3618.19For 12your wasteH2723 and desolateH8074 places and your destroyedH2035 landH776-- SurelyH3588 nowH6258 you will be 13tooH4480 crampedH6887 for the inhabitantsH3427, And those who 14swallowedH1104 you will be farH7368 away.20The 15childrenH1121 of 16whom you were bereavedH7923 will yetH5750 sayH559 in your earsH241, ‘The placeH4725 is too crampedH6862 for me; MakeH5066 roomH5066 for me that I may liveH3427 here.’21Then you will 17sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘WhoH4310 has begottenH3205 theseH428 for me, Since I have beenH7921 bereavedH7909 of my childrenH7909 And am 18barrenH1565, an 19exileH1540 and a wandererH5493? And whoH4310 has rearedH1431 theseH428? BeholdH2005, I was 20leftH7604 aloneH905; 2122From whereH375 did theseH428 come?’”
