Isaiah 49:20-26
Read Isaiah 49 in full →20“The achildren of 1whom you were bereaved will yet say in your ears,‘The place is too cramped for me;Make room for me that I may live here.’21“Then you will asay in your heart,‘Who has borne these for me?Indeed, I have been bereaved of my childrenAnd am bbarren, an cexile and a wanderer.And who has reared these?Behold, I dremained alone;1,eFrom where did these come?’”
22Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nationsAnd make high My astandard to the peoples;And they will bbring your sons in their bosom,And your daughters will be lifted up on their shoulders.
23“aKings will be your guardians,And their princesses your nurses.They will bbow down to you with their 1faces to the earthAnd click the dust of your feet;And you will dknow that I am Yahweh;Those who ehope in Me will fnot be put to shame.24“aCan the prey be taken from the mighty man,Or the captives of the 1righteous be granted escape?”25Surely, thus says Yahweh, “Even the acaptives of the mighty man will be taken away,And the prey of the tyrant will be granted escape;For I will contend with the one who contends with you,And I will bsave your sons.
26“I will feed athose who mistreat you with their bown flesh,And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;And call flesh will know that I, Yahweh, am your dSaviorAnd your eRedeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
