‏ 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.

23mKings 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.


24sCan 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.”
