Isaiah 49:20-22
English Standard Version
20 (A)The children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
(B)‘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?
(C)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,
(D)and raise my signal to the peoples;
(E)and they shall bring your sons in their arms,[a]
and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

Lamentations 2:4-6
English Standard Version
4 (A)He has bent his bow like an enemy,
with his right hand set (B)like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.
5 (C)The Lord has become like an enemy;
(D)he has swallowed up Israel;
(E)he has swallowed up all its palaces;
he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
(F)mourning and lamentation.
6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
laid in ruins (G)his meeting place;
(H)the Lord has made Zion forget
festival and (I)Sabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.

and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
