Isaiah 49:14-23
English Standard Version
14 But Zion said, (A)“The Lord has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me.”
15 (B)“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
16 Behold, (C)I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
17 Your builders make haste;[a]
(D)your destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you.
18 (E)Lift up your eyes around and see;
they all gather, they come to you.
(F)As I live, declares the Lord,
(G)you shall put them all on as an ornament;
you shall bind them on as a bride does.
19 “Surely your waste and your desolate places
and your devastated land—
(H)surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 (I)The children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
(J)‘The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.’
21 Then you will say in your heart:
‘Who has borne me these?
(K)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?’”
22 Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
(L)and raise my signal to the peoples;
(M)and they shall bring your sons in their arms,[b]
and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23 (N)Kings shall be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
(O)With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you,
and (P)lick the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
(Q)those who wait for me (R)shall not be put to shame.”

10 For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,

and (F)my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

your gates of carbuncles,[d]
and all your wall of precious stones.
13 (J)All your children (K)shall be taught by the Lord,
(L)and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

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.

like a (C)booth in a vineyard,
like a lodge in a cucumber field,
like a besieged city.

had not left us (E)a few survivors,
we should have been like (F)Sodom,
and become like (G)Gomorrah.
