Isaiah 49:21-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
21 “Then you will (A)say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And am (B)barren, an (C)exile and a wanderer?
And who has reared these?
Behold, I was (D)left alone;
[a](E)From where did these come?’”
22 Thus says the Lord [b]God,
“Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
And set up My (F)standard to the peoples;
And they will (G)bring your sons in their bosom,
And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
23 “(H)Kings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will (I)bow down to you with their faces to the earth
And (J)lick the dust of your feet;
And you will (K)know that I am the Lord;
Those who hopefully (L)wait for Me will (M)not be put to shame.
