Isa 49:20-22 | NASB2020 | STEP | “The children you lost will yet say in your ears , ‘The place is too cramped for me; Make room for me that I may live here. ’

Isaiah 49:20-22

20 “The ^achildren ^{▼▼Lit of your bereavement}you lost 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 ^csay in your heart,
‘Who has fathered these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And ^dcannot conceive, and I am an ^eexile, and a wanderer?
And who has raised these?
Behold, I was ^fleft alone;
^{▼▼Lit These, where are they?
,} ^hWhere are these from?’”
22 This is what the Lord ^{▼▼Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord}God says:

“Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
And set up My ^jflag to the peoples;
And they will ^kbring your sons ^{▼▼Lit on the chest}in their arms,
And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
