Isaiah 49:20-26

20The 1childrenH1121 2you 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 3sayH559 in your heartH3824, ‘WhoH4310 has fatheredH3205 theseH428 for me, Since I have been bereavedH7909 ofH7909 my childrenH7909 And 4cannotH1565 conceiveH1565, and I am an 5exileH1540, and a wandererH5493? And whoH4310 has raisedH1431 theseH428? BeholdH2005, I was 6leftH7604 aloneH905; 78WhereH375 are theseH428 from?’”

22ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 9GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I will liftH5375 upH5375 My handH3027 to the nationsH1471 And setH7311 upH7311 My 10flagH5251 to the peoplesH5971; And they will 11bringH935 your sonsH1121 12in their armsH2684, And your daughtersH1323 will be carriedH5375 on their shouldersH3802.2313KingsH4428 will be your guardiansH539, And their princessesH8282 your nursesH3243. They will 14bowH2331 downH2331 to you with their facesH639 to the groundH776 And 15lickH3897 the dustH6083 from your feetH7272; And you will 16knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068; Those whoH834 hopefullyH6960 17waitH6960 for Me will 18not be putH954 toH954 shameH954.

24“19Can the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from a mightyH1368 manH1368, OrH518 the captivesH7628 of 20a tyrant be rescuedH4422?” 25IndeedH3588, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “EvenH1571 the 21captivesH7628 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 22saveH3467 your sonsH1121.26I will feedH398 your 23oppressorsH3238 with their 24own fleshH1320, And they will becomeH7937 drunkH7937 with their own bloodH1818 as with sweetH6071 wineH6071; And 2526humanityH1320 will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, am your 27SaviorH3467 And your 28RedeemerH1350, the MightyH46 OneH46 of JacobH3290.”
