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.

will yet say in your hearing,
‘This place is too small for us;
give us more space to live in.’(A)
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who bore me these?(B)
I was bereaved(C) and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.(D)
Who brought these(E) up?
I was left(F) all alone,(G)
but these—where have they come from?’”
