Isaiah 49:20-26
20The 1childrenH1121 of 2whom 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 3sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘WhoH4310 has begottenH3205 theseH428 for me, Since I have beenH7921 bereavedH7909 of my childrenH7909 And am 4barrenH1565, an 5exileH1540 and a wandererH5493? And whoH4310 has rearedH1431 theseH428? BeholdH2005, I was 6leftH7604 aloneH905; 78From whereH375 did theseH428 come?’”
22ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 9GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I will liftH5375 up My handH3027 to the nationsH1471 And setH7311 up My 10standardH5251 to the peoplesH5971; And they will 11bringH935 your sonsH1121 in their bosomH2684, And your daughtersH1323 will be carriedH5375 on their shouldersH3802.2312KingsH4428 will be your guardiansH539, And their princessesH8282 your nursesH3243. They will 13bowH7812 downH7812 to you with their facesH639 to the earthH776 And 14lickH3897 the dustH6083 of your feetH7272; And you will 15knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068; Those whoH834 hopefullyH6960 16waitH6960 for Me will 17not be putH954 to shameH954.
24“18Can the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from the mightyH1368 manH1368, OrH518 the captivesH7628 of 19a tyrant be rescuedH4422?” 25SurelyH3588, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “EvenH1571 the 20captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 manH1368 will be takenH3947 away, And the preyH4455 of the tyrantH6184 will be rescuedH4422; For I will contendH7378 with the oneH3401 whoH3401 contendsH3401 with you, And I will 21saveH3467 your sonsH1121.26I will feedH398 your 22oppressorsH3238 with their 23own fleshH1320, And they will becomeH7937 drunkH7937 with their own bloodH1818 as with sweetH6071 wineH6071; And 24allH3605 fleshH1320 will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, am your 25SaviorH3467 And your 26RedeemerH1350, the MightyH46 OneH46 of JacobH3290.”
