Isaiah 49:14-26

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?’”

22ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 23GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I will liftH5375 upH5375 My handH3027 to the nationsH1471 And setH7311 upH7311 My 24flagH5251 to the peoplesH5971; And they will 25bringH935 your sonsH1121 26in their armsH2684, And your daughtersH1323 will be carriedH5375 on their shouldersH3802.2327KingsH4428 will be your guardiansH539, And their princessesH8282 your nursesH3243. They will 28bowH2331 downH2331 to you with their facesH639 to the groundH776 And 29lickH3897 the dustH6083 from your feetH7272; And you will 30knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068; Those whoH834 hopefullyH6960 31waitH6960 for Me will 32not be putH954 toH954 shameH954.

24“33Can the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from a mightyH1368 manH1368, OrH518 the captivesH7628 of 34a tyrant be rescuedH4422?” 25IndeedH3588, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “EvenH1571 the 35captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 manH1368 will be takenH3947 away, And the preyH4455 of a tyrantH6184 will be rescuedH4422; For I will contendH7378 with the oneH3401 whoH3401 contendsH3401 with you, And I will 36saveH3467 your sonsH1121.26I will feedH398 your 37oppressorsH3238 with their 38own fleshH1320, And they will becomeH7937 drunkH7937 with their own bloodH1818 as with sweetH6071 wineH6071; And 3940humanityH1320 will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, am your 41SaviorH3467 And your 42RedeemerH1350, the MightyH46 OneH46 of JacobH3290.”
