Isaiah 49:21-23
International Children’s Bible
21 Then you will say to yourself,
‘Who gave me all these children?
I was sad and lonely.
I was defeated and away from my people.
So who reared these children?
I was left all alone.
Where did all these children come from?’”
22 This is what the Lord God says:
“See, I will lift my hand to signal the nations.
I will raise my banner for all people to see.
Then they will bring your sons back to you in their arms.
They will carry your daughters on their shoulders.
23 Kings will teach your children.
Daughters of kings will take care of those children.
They will bow down before you.
They will kiss the dirt at your feet.
Then you will know I am the Lord.
Anyone who trusts in me will not be disappointed.”

Isaiah 49:21-23
New International Version
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who bore me these?(A)
I was bereaved(B) and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.(C)
Who brought these(D) up?
I was left(E) all alone,(F)
but these—where have they come from?’”
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord(G) says:
“See, I will beckon to the nations,
I will lift up my banner(H) to the peoples;
they will bring(I) your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their hips.(J)
23 Kings(K) will be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.(L)
They will bow down(M) before you with their faces to the ground;
they will lick the dust(N) at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;(O)
those who hope(P) in me will not be disappointed.(Q)”
