Isaiah 49:17-23
17Your 1builders hurry; Your 2destroyers and devastators Will leave you.183Raise your eyes and look around; 4All of them gather together, 5they come to you. 6As I live,” declares the Lord, “You will certainly 7put them all on as 8jewelry and bind them on as a bride.19For 9your ruins and deserted places and your destroyed land-- Now you will certainly be 10too cramped for the inhabitants, And those who 11swallowed you will be far away.20The 12children 13you lost 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 14say in your heart, ‘Who has fathered these for me, Since I have been bereaved of my children And 15cannot conceive, and I am an 16exile, and a wanderer? And who has raised these? Behold, I was 17left alone; 1819Where are these from?’”
22This is what the Lord 20God says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations And set up My 21flag to the peoples; And they will 22bring your sons 23in their arms, And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.2324Kings will be your guardians, And their princesses your nurses. They will 25bow down to you with their faces to the ground And 26lick the dust from your feet; And you will 27know that I am the Lord; Those who hopefully 28wait for Me will 29not be put to shame.
