Isaiah 49:20–26

^20bThe children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears,

The place is too strait for me:

^cGive place to me that I may dwell.

²¹Then shalt thou say in thine heart, ^dWho hath begotten me these,

Seeing I have lost my children, and ^eam desolate,

A captive, and removing to and fro?

And who hath brought up these?

Behold, I was left alone;

These, where had they been?

²²Thus saith the Lord God,

^fBehold, ^gI will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles,

And ^hset up my standard to the people:

And ⁱthey shall bring thy sons in their ^†arms,

And thy daughters ^jshall be carried upon their shoulders.

²³And ^kkings shall be thy ^†nursing fathers,

And their ^†queens thy nursing mothers:

^ilThey shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth,

And ^mlick up the dust of thy feet;

And thou shalt know that I am the Lord:

For ⁿthey shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

^24oShall the prey be taken from the mighty,

Or ^†the lawful captive delivered?

²⁵But thus saith the Lord,

Even the ^†captives of the mighty shall be taken away,

And the prey of the terrible shall be delivered:

For I will contend with ^phim that contendeth with thee,

And I will save thy children.

²⁶And ^qI will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh;

And ^rthey shall be drunken with their own blood, as with ^||sweet wine:

And all flesh ^sshall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour

And ^tthy Redeemer, ^uthe mighty One of Jacob.
