Isaiah 49:20-26
20The 1children 2you 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 3say in your heart, ‘Who has fathered these for me, Since I have been bereaved of my children And 4cannot conceive, and I am an 5exile, and a wanderer? And who has raised these? Behold, I was 6left alone; 78Where are these from?’”
22This is what the Lord 9God says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations And set up My 10flag to the peoples; And they will 11bring your sons 12in their arms, And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.2313Kings will be your guardians, And their princesses your nurses. They will 14bow down to you with their faces to the ground And 15lick the dust from your feet; And you will 16know that I am the Lord; Those who hopefully 17wait for Me will 18not be put to shame.
24“19Can the prey be taken from a mighty man, Or the captives of 20a tyrant be rescued?” 25Indeed, this is what the Lord says: “Even the 21captives of the mighty man will be taken away, And the prey of a tyrant will be rescued; For I will contend with the one who contends with you, And I will 22save your sons.26I will feed your 23oppressors with their 24own flesh, And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine; And 2526humanity will know that I, the Lord, am your 27Savior And your 28Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
