Isaiah 49:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

²¹Then you will say to yourself,
    ‘Who gave me all these children?
I was sad and lonely.
    My children were taken away.
They were gone.
    So who gave me these children?
Look, I was the only one left.
    Where did all these children come from?’”

²²This is what the Lord God says:
“Look, I will wave my hand to the nations.
    I will raise my flag for everyone to see.
Then they will bring your children to you.
    They will carry your children on their shoulders,
    and they will hold them in their arms.
²³Kings will be their teachers.
    The daughters of kings will care for them.
The kings and their daughters will bow down to you.
    They will kiss the dirt at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord,
    and anyone who trusts in me will not be disappointed.”
