Isaiah 49:20-25

Isaiah 49:20-25

[20] The children  which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost  the other, shall say  again in thine ears,  The place  is too strait  for me: give  place  to me that I may dwell.  [21] Then shalt thou say  in thine heart,  Who hath begotten  me these, seeing I have lost my children,  and am desolate,  and removing to and fro?  and who hath brought up  these? Behold, I was left  alone; these, where  had they been? [22] Thus saith  the Lord  GOD,  Behold, I will lift up  mine hand  to the Gentiles,  and set up  my standard  to the people:  and they shall bring  thy sons  in their arms,  and thy daughters  shall be carried  upon their shoulders.  [23] And kings  shall be thy nursing fathers,  and their queens  thy nursing mothers:  they shall bow down  to thee with their face  toward the earth,  and lick up  the dust  of thy feet;  and thou shalt know  that I am the LORD:  for they shall not be ashamed  that wait  for me. [24] Shall the prey  be taken  from the mighty,  or the lawful  captive  delivered?  [25] But thus saith  the LORD,  Even the captives  of the mighty  shall be taken away,  and the prey  of the terrible  shall be delivered:  for I will contend  with him that contendeth  with thee, and I will save  thy children.
