Isaiah 49:21-23

International Children’s Bible

²¹Then you will say to yourself,
    ‘Who gave me all these children?
I was sad and lonely.
    I was defeated and away from my people.
    So who reared these children?
I was left all alone.
    Where did all these children come from?’”

²²This is what the Lord God says:
“See, I will lift my hand to signal the nations.
    I will raise my banner for all people to see.
Then they will bring your sons back to you in their arms.
    They will carry your daughters on their shoulders.
²³Kings will teach your children.
    Daughters of kings will take care of those children.
They will bow down before you.
    They will kiss the dirt at your feet.
Then you will know I am the Lord.
    Anyone who trusts in me will not be disappointed.”
