Longing for Her Beloved
1 Oh that you were like a brother to mewho nursed at my mother’s breasts!
If I found you outside, I would kiss you,
and none would despise me.
Isaiah 49:20-23
20 gThe children of your bereavementwill yet say in your ears:
h‘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?
iI 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,
jand raise my signal to the peoples;
kand they shall bring your sons in their arms, ▼
▼Hebrew in their bosom
and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23 mKings shall be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
nWith their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
and olick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
pthose who wait for me qshall not be put to shame.”
