Isaiah 49:15-26

49:15

Can a woman
<0802>

forget
<07911> (8799)

her sucking child
<05764>_,

that she should not have compassion
<07355> (8763)

on the son
<01121>

of her womb
<0990>_?

yea, they may forget
<07911> (8799)_,

yet will I not forget
<07911> (8799)

thee. {that...: Heb. from having compassion}

49:16

Behold, I have graven
<02710> (8804)

thee upon the palms of [my] hands
<03709>_;

thy walls
<02346>

[are] continually
<08548>

before me.

49:17

Thy children
<01121>

shall make haste
<04116> (8765)_;

thy destroyers
<02040> (8764)

and they that made thee waste
<02717> (8688)

shall go forth
<03318> (8799)

of thee.

49:18

Lift up
<05375> (8798)

thine eyes
<05869>

round about
<05439>_,

and behold
<07200> (8798)_:

all these gather themselves together
<06908> (8738)_,

[and] come
<0935> (8804)

to thee. [As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

thou shalt surely clothe
<03847> (8799)

thee with them all, as with an ornament
<05716>_,

and bind
<07194> (8762)

them [on thee], as a bride
<03618>

[doeth].

49:19

For thy waste
<02723>

and thy desolate places
<08074> (8802)_,

and the land
<0776>

of thy destruction
<02035>_,

shall even now be too narrow
<03334> (8799)

by reason of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)_,

and they that swallowed thee up
<01104> (8764)

shall be far away
<07368> (8804)_.

49:20

The children
<01121>

which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost
<07923>

the other, shall say
<0559> (8799)

again in thine ears
<0241>_,

The place
<04725>

[is] too strait
<06862>

for me: give
<05066> (8798)

place
<04725>

to me that I may dwell
<03427> (8799)_.

49:21

Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)

in thine heart
<03824>_,

Who hath begotten
<03205> (8804)

me these, seeing I have lost my children
<07921> (8803)_,

and am desolate
<01565>_,

a captive
<01540> (8802)_,

and removing to and fro
<05493> (8803)_?

and who hath brought up
<01431> (8765)

these? Behold, I was left
<07604> (8738)

alone; these, where
<0375>

[had] they [been]?

49:22

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

Behold, I will lift up
<05375> (8799)

mine hand
<03027>

to the Gentiles
<01471>_,

and set up
<07311> (8686)

my standard
<05251>

to the people
<05971>_:

and they shall bring
<0935> (8689)

thy sons
<01121>

in [their] arms
<02684>_,

and thy daughters
<01323>

shall be carried
<05375> (8735)

upon [their] shoulders
<03802>_.

{arms: Heb. bosom}

49:23

And kings
<04428>

shall be thy nursing fathers
<0539> (8802)_,

and their queens
<08282>

thy nursing mothers
<03243> (8688)_:

they shall bow down
<07812> (8691)

to thee with [their] face
<0639>

toward the earth
<0776>_,

and lick up
<03897> (8762)

the dust
<06083>

of thy feet
<07272>_;

and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:

for they shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

that wait
<06960> (8802)

for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}

49:24

Shall the prey
<04455>

be taken
<03947> (8714)

from the mighty
<01368>_,

or the lawful
<06662>

captive
<07628>

delivered
<04422> (8735)_?

{lawful...: Heb. captivity of the just}

49:25

But thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Even the captives
<07628>

of the mighty
<01368>

shall be taken away
<03947> (8714)_,

and the prey
<04455>

of the terrible
<06184>

shall be delivered
<04422> (8735)_:

for I will contend
<07378> (8799)

with him that contendeth
<03401>

with thee, and I will save
<03467> (8686)

thy children
<01121>_.

{captives: Heb. captivity}

49:26

And I will feed
<0398> (8689)

them that oppress
<03238> (8688)

thee with their own flesh
<01320>_;

and they shall be drunken
<07937> (8799)

with their own blood
<01818>_,

as with sweet wine
<06071>_:

and all flesh
<01320>

shall know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

[am] thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)

and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,

the mighty One
<046>

of Jacob
<03290>_.
