Isaiah 49:20-26

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁰ The ^(A)children of ^[a]whom you were bereaved will yet say in your ears,
‘The place is too cramped for me;
Make room for me that I may live here.’
²¹ Then you will ^(B)say in your heart,
‘Who has borne these for me?
Indeed, I have been bereaved of my children
And am ^(C)barren, an ^(D)exile and a wanderer.
And who has reared these?
Behold, I ^(E)remained alone;
^[b](F)From where did these come?’”

“Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
And make high My ^(G)standard to the peoples;
And they will ^(H)bring your sons in their bosom,
And your daughters will be lifted up on their shoulders.
^23 (I)Kings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will ^(J)bow down to you with their ^[c]faces to the earth
And ^(K)lick the dust of your feet;
And you will ^(L)know that I am Yahweh;
Those who ^(M)hope in Me will ^(N)not be put to shame.

“Even the ^(P)captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of the tyrant will be granted escape;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will ^(Q)save your sons.
²⁶ I will feed ^(R)those who mistreat you with their ^(S)own flesh,
And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
And ^(T)all flesh will know that I, Yahweh, am your ^(U)Savior
And your ^(V)Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
