Isaiah 49:21-23
Living Bible
21 Then you will think to yourself, ‘Who has given me all these? For most of my children were killed, and the rest were carried away into exile, leaving me here alone. Who bore these? Who raised them for me?’”
22 The Lord God says, “See, I will give a signal to the Gentiles, and they shall carry your little sons back to you in their arms, and your daughters on their shoulders. 23 Kings and queens shall serve you; they shall care for all your needs. They shall bow to the earth before you and lick the dust from off your feet; then you shall know I am the Lord. Those who wait for me shall never be ashamed.”

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)”
