Isaiah 49:20-26
NASB

Tools
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.’
Tools
21
“Then you will (B)say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And am (C)barren, an (D)exile and a wanderer?
And who has reared these?
Behold, I was (E)left alone;
(b)(F)From where did these come?’”
Tools
22 Thus says the Lord (c)God,
“Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
And set up My (G)standard to the peoples;
And they will (H)bring your sons in their bosom,
And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
Tools
23
“(I)Kings will be your guardians,
And their princesses your nurses.
They will (J)bow down to you with their faces to the earth
And (K)lick the dust of your feet;
And you will (L)know that I am the Lord;
Those who hopefully (M)wait for Me will (N)not be put to shame.

24
“(O)Can the prey be taken from the mighty man,
Or the captives of (d)a tyrant be rescued?”
Tools
25 Surely, thus says the Lord,
“Even the (P)captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of the tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will (Q)save your sons.
Tools
26
“I will feed your (R)oppressors with their (S)own flesh,
And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
And (T)all flesh will know that I, the Lord, am your (U)Savior
And your (V)Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
