Isaiah 49:9-26

9That thou mayest sayH559 to the prisonersH631, Go forthH3318; to them that are in darknessH2822, ShowH1540 yourselves. They shall feedH7462 in the waysH1870, and their pasturesH4830 shall be in all high placesH8205. 10They shall not hungerH7456 nor thirstH6770; neither shall the heatH8273 nor sunH8121 smiteH5221 them: for he that hath mercyH7355 on them shall leadH5090 them, even by the springsH4002 of waterH4325 shall he guideH5095 them. 11And I will makeH7760 all my mountainsH2022 a wayH1870, and my highwaysH4546 shall be exaltedH7311. 12Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.

13SingH7442, O heavensH8064; and be joyfulH1523, O earthH776; and break forthH6476 into singingH7440, O mountainsH2022: for the LORDH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, and will have mercyH7355 upon his afflictedH6041. 14But ZionH6726 saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 me, and my LordH136 hath forgottenH7911 me. 15Can a womanH802 forgetH7911 her nursing childH5764, that she should not have compassionH7355 on the sonH1121 of her wombH990? yea, they may forgetH7911, yet I will not forgetH7911 thee.1 16Behold, I have gravenH2710 thee upon the palms of my handsH3709; thy wallsH2346 are continuallyH8548 before me. 17Thy childrenH1121 shall make hasteH4116; thy destroyersH2040 and they that made thee wasteH2717 shall go forthH3318 from thee.

18Lift upH5375 thy eyesH5869 all aroundH5439, and beholdH7200: all these gather themselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou shalt surely clotheH3847 thee with them all, as with an ornamentH5716, and bindH7194 them on thee, as a brideH3618 doeth . 19For thy wasteH2723 and thy desolate placesH8074, and the landH776 of thy destructionH2035, shall even now be too smallH3334 by reason of the inhabitantsH3427, and they that swallowed thee upH1104 shall be far awayH7368. 20The childrenH1121 who thou shalt have, after thou hast lostH7923 the other, shall sayH559 again in thy earsH241, The placeH4725 is too smallH6862 for me: giveH5066 placeH4725 to me that I may dwellH3427. 21Then shalt thou sayH559 in thy heartH3824, Who hath begottenH3205 these for me, seeing I have lost my childrenH7921, and am desolateH1565, a captiveH1540, and moving to and froH5493? and who hath brought upH1431 these? Behold, I was leftH7604 alone; these, whereH375 have they been ? 22Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I will lift upH5375 my handH3027 to the GentilesH1471, and set upH7311 my standardH5251 to the peopleH5971: and they shall bringH935 thy sonsH1121 in their armsH2684, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 upon their shouldersH3802.2 23And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bowH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me.34

24Shall the preyH4455 be takenH3947 from the mightyH1368, or the lawfulH6662 captiveH7628 deliveredH4422?5 25But thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Even the captivesH7628 of the mightyH1368 shall be taken awayH3947, and the preyH4455 of the terribleH6184 shall be deliveredH4422: for I will contendH7378 with him that contendethH3401 with thee, and I will saveH3467 thy childrenH1121.6 26And I will feedH398 them that oppressH3238 thee with their own fleshH1320; and they shall be drunkH7937 with their own bloodH1818, as with sweet wineH6071: and all fleshH1320 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 am thy SaviourH3467 and thy RedeemerH1350, the mighty OneH46 of JacobH3290.7
