Isaiah 49:14-21
14But ZionH6726 saidH559, “The LordH3068 has abandonedH5800 me, And the LordH136 has forgottenH7911 me.”15“Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her nursingH5764 childH5764 And haveH7355 noH4480 compassionH7355 onH7355 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 leaveH3318 you.186RaiseH5375 your eyesH5869 and lookH7200 aroundH5439; 7AllH3605 of them gatherH6908 together, 8they comeH935 to you. 9As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “You will certainlyH3588 10putH3847 them allH3605 onH3847 as 11jewelryH5716 and bindH7194 them on as a brideH3618.19For 12your ruinsH2723 and desertedH8074 places and your destroyedH2035 landH776-- NowH6258 you will certainlyH3588 beH6887 13tooH4480 crampedH6887 for the inhabitantsH3427, And those who 14swallowedH1104 you will beH7368 farH7368 awayH7368.20The 15childrenH1121 16you lostH7923 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 fatheredH3205 theseH428 for me, Since I have been bereavedH7909 ofH7909 my childrenH7909 And 18cannotH1565 conceiveH1565, and I am an 19exileH1540, and a wandererH5493? And whoH4310 has raisedH1431 theseH428? BeholdH2005, I was 20leftH7604 aloneH905; 2122WhereH375 are theseH428 from?’”
