Isaiah 49
10 Ref They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water will he guide them.
11 Ref And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Ref Lo, these shall come from far; and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
13 Ref Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for Jehovah hath comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted.
14 Ref But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.
15 Ref Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.
16 Ref Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
17 Ref Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee.
18 Ref Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith Jehovah, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.
19 Ref For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places, and thy land that hath been destroyed, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
20 Ref The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me; give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Ref Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?
22 Ref Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
