Isaiah 49:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 See, upon the palms of my hands I have engraved you;[a]
your walls are ever before me.
17 Your children hasten—
your levelers, your destroyers
go forth from you;
18 Look about and see,
they are all gathering and coming to you.
As I live—oracle of the Lord—
you shall don them as jewels,
bedeck yourself like a bride.
