Isaiah 49:18-23
181LiftH5375 up your eyesH5869 and lookH7200 aroundH5439; 2AllH3605 of them gatherH6908 together, 3they comeH935 to you. 4As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “You will surelyH3588 5putH3847 on allH3605 of them as 6jewelsH5716 and bindH7194 them on as a brideH3618.19For 7your wasteH2723 and desolateH8074 places and your destroyedH2035 landH776-- SurelyH3588 nowH6258 you will be 8tooH4480 crampedH6887 for the inhabitantsH3427, And those who 9swallowedH1104 you will be farH7368 away.20The 10childrenH1121 of 11whom 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 12sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘WhoH4310 has begottenH3205 theseH428 for me, Since I have beenH7921 bereavedH7909 of my childrenH7909 And am 13barrenH1565, an 14exileH1540 and a wandererH5493? And whoH4310 has rearedH1431 theseH428? BeholdH2005, I was 15leftH7604 aloneH905; 1617From whereH375 did theseH428 come?’”
22ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 18GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I will liftH5375 up My handH3027 to the nationsH1471 And setH7311 up My 19standardH5251 to the peoplesH5971; And they will 20bringH935 your sonsH1121 in their bosomH2684, And your daughtersH1323 will be carriedH5375 on their shouldersH3802.2321KingsH4428 will be your guardiansH539, And their princessesH8282 your nursesH3243. They will 22bowH7812 downH7812 to you with their facesH639 to the earthH776 And 23lickH3897 the dustH6083 of your feetH7272; And you will 24knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068; Those whoH834 hopefullyH6960 25waitH6960 for Me will 26not be putH954 to shameH954.
