Isaiah 49:20-26
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.
23 “ mKings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will nbow down to you with their faces to the ground
And olick the dust from your feet;
And you will pknow that I am the Lord;
Those who hopefully qwait for Me will rnot be put to shame.
24 “ sCan the prey be taken from a mighty man,
Or the captives of ▼
▼Ancient versions and DSS; MT the righteous, cf. v 25
a tyrant be rescued?” 25 Indeed, this is what the Lord says: “Even the ucaptives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of a tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will vsave your sons.
26 “I will feed your woppressors with their xown flesh,
And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
And ▼
▼Lit all flesh
zhumanity will know that I, the Lord, am your aaSavior And your abRedeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
