21 Then you will think, “Who gave me all these children?
    Who is their father?
I was alone, with no husband.
    They killed my children
    or they took them away to a foreign land.
I could no longer give birth.

‘Look! I will lift up my hand,
    to call the nations.
I will raise up a flag

Then they will bring back your sons and your daughters.
    They will carry them in their arms and on their shoulders.
23 The kings of those nations will take care of your children.
    The kings' daughters will feed them.
The rulers will bend down low in front of you,

    They will taste the dirt by your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.
    I will not disappoint people who wait for me to help them.
