Isaiah 49:20-22
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?’”
22 Thus says Lord Yahweh,
“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.

20 (A)The children you will have,
(B)After you have lost the others,
Will say again in your ears,
‘The place is too small for me;
Give me a place where I may dwell.’
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have lost my children and am desolate,
A captive, and wandering to and fro?
And who has brought these up?
There I was, left alone;
But these, where were they?’ ”
22 (C)Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
And set up My [a]standard for the peoples;
They shall bring your sons in their [b]arms,
And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
