Isaiah 49:21
English Standard Version
21 Then you will say in your heart:
‘Who has borne me these?
(A)I was bereaved and barren,
exiled and put away,
but who has brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
from where have these come?’”
Galatians 4:26-29
English Standard Version
26 But (A)the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written,
(B)“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear;
break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more
than those of the one who has a husband.”
28 Now you,[a] brothers, (C)like Isaac, (D)are children of promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh (E)persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, (F)so also it is now.

Romans 11:26-31
English Standard Version
26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
(A)“The Deliverer will come (B)from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27 “and this will be my (C)covenant with them
(D)when I take away their sins.”
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are (E)beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and (F)the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as (G)you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now[a] receive mercy.

Romans 11:11-17
English Standard Version
Gentiles Grafted In
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass (A)salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[a] mean!
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as (B)I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and (C)thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means (D)the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 (E)If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if (F)some of the branches were broken off, and you, (G)although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[b] of the olive tree,

Lamentations 1:1-3
English Standard Version
How Lonely Sits the City
1 (A)How lonely sits the city
that was full of people!
How like (B)a widow has she become,
she who was great among the nations!
She who was (C)a princess among the provinces
has become (D)a slave.
2 (E)She weeps bitterly in the night,
with tears on her cheeks;
(F)among all her lovers
she has (G)none to comfort her;
(H)all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
they have become her enemies.
3 (I)Judah has gone into exile because of affliction[a]
and hard servitude;
(J)she dwells now among the nations,
(K)but finds no resting place;
her pursuers have all overtaken her
in the midst of her distress.[b]

(A)“A voice is heard in (B)Ramah,
lamentation and bitter weeping.
(C)Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children,
(D)because they are no more.”
16 Thus says the Lord:
“Keep your voice from weeping,
and your eyes from tears,
for there is a reward for your work,
declares the Lord,
and (E)they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
17 (F)There is hope for your future,
declares the Lord,
and your children shall come back to their own country.

for the Lord delights in you,
and your land shall be married.

a joy from age to age.
Isaiah 54:3-8

3 (A)For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left,
and your offspring will possess the nations
and will people the desolate cities.
4 “Fear not, (B)for you will not be ashamed;
be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced;
for you will forget the shame of your youth,
and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 (C)For your Maker is your husband,
the Lord of hosts is his name;
(D)and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,
(E)the God of the whole earth he is called.
6 (F)For the Lord has called you
like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,
like a wife of youth when she is cast off,
says your God.
7 (G)For a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 (H)In overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
(I)but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.

Isaiah 51:17-20
English Standard Version
17 (A)Wake yourself, wake yourself,
stand up, O Jerusalem,
(B)you who have drunk from the hand of the Lord
the cup of his wrath,
who have drunk to the dregs
the bowl, (C)the cup of staggering.
18 (D)There is none to guide her
among all the sons she has borne;
there is none to take her by the hand
among all the sons she has brought up.
19 (E)These two things have happened to you—
who will console you?—
devastation and destruction, famine and sword;
who will comfort you?[a]
20 (F)Your sons have fainted;
they lie at the head of every street
like an (G)antelope (H)in a net;
they are full of the wrath of the Lord,
the rebuke of your God.
