Isaiah 49:18-23

18 aLift up your eyes around and see;
they all gather, they come to you.
bAs I live, declares the Lord,
cyou shall put them all on as an ornament;
you shall bind them on as a bride does.
19 Surely your waste and your desolate places
and your devastated land
dsurely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 eThe children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
f‘The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.’
21Then you will say in your heart:
Who has borne me these?
gI was bereaved and barren,
exiled and put away,
but who has brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
from where have these come?’”
22 Thus says the Lord God:
Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
hand raise my signal to the peoples;
iand they shall bring your sons in their arms,
Hebrew  in their bosom

and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23 kKings shall be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
lWith their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
and mlick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
nthose who wait for me oshall not be put to shame.”
