Isaiah 49:11-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 49
11
I will make all My mountains a road,
And My highways will be raised up.
12
Behold, these will come from afar;
And behold, these
will come
from the north and from the west,
And these from the land of Aswan.'
13
Shout for joy, you heavens! And rejoice, you earth!
Break forth into joyful shouting, mountains!
For the
Lord
has comforted His people
And will have compassion on His afflicted.
14
But Zion said, 'The
Lord
has abandoned me,
And the Lord has forgotten me.'
15
'Can a woman forget her nursing child
And have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.
16
Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms
of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.
17
Your builders hurry;
Your destroyers and devastators
Will leave you.
18
Raise your eyes and look around;
All of them gather together, they come to you.
As I live,' declares the
Lord
,
'You will certainly put them all on as jewelry and bind them on as a bride.
19
For your ruins and deserted places and your destroyed land—
Now you will certainly be too cramped for the inhabitants,
And those who swallowed you will be far away.
20
The children you lost will yet say in your ears,
‘The place is too cramped for me;
Make room for me that I may live
here.
’
King James Version
Chapter 49
11
And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12
Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
13
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the
Lord
hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.
14
But Zion said, The
Lord
hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
17
Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
18
Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the
Lord
, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.
19
For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 49
11
I will make all my mountains into a road,
and my highways will be raised up.
12
See, these will come from far away,
from the north and from the west,
and from the land of Sinim.
13
Shout for joy, you heavens!
Earth, rejoice!
Mountains break into joyful shouts!
For the
Lord
has comforted his people,
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
14
Zion says, "The
Lord
has abandoned me;
the Lord has forgotten me!"
15
"Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or lack compassion for the child of her womb?
Even if these forget,
yet I will not forget you.
16
Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
17
Your builders hurry;
those who destroy and devastate you will leave you.
18
Look up, and look around.
They all gather together; they come to you.
As I live"— this is the
Lord
’s declaration— "you will wear all your children as jewelry,
and put them on as a bride does.
19
For your waste and desolate places
and your land marked by ruins—
will now be indeed too small for the inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20
Yet as you listen, the children
that you have been deprived of will say,
‘This place is too small for me;
make room for me so that I may settle.’
New Living Translation
Chapter 49
11
And I will make my mountains into level paths for them.
The highways will be raised above the valleys.
12
See, my people will return from far away,
from lands to the north and west,
and from as far south as Egypt. '
13
Sing for joy, O heavens!
Rejoice, O earth!
Burst into song, O mountains!
For the
Lord
has comforted his people
and will have compassion on them in their suffering.
14
Yet Jerusalem says, 'The
Lord
has deserted us;
the Lord has forgotten us.'
15
'Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child?
Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?
But even if that were possible,
I would not forget you!
16
See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.
Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem’s walls in ruins.
17
Soon your descendants will come back,
and all who are trying to destroy you will go away.
18
Look around you and see,
for all your children will come back to you.
As surely as I live,' says the
Lord
,
'they will be like jewels or bridal ornaments for you to display.
19
'Even the most desolate parts of your abandoned land
will soon be crowded with your people.
Your enemies who enslaved you
will be far away.
20
The generations born in exile will return and say,
‘We need more room! It’s crowded here!’
English Standard Version
Chapter 49

and my highways shall be raised up.
12
Behold, these shall come from afar,
and behold, these from the north and from the west,
and these from the land of Syene."
13
Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the
Lord
has comforted his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted.
14
But Zion said, "The
Lord
has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me."
15
"Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
16
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
17
Your builders make haste;
your destroyers and those who laid you waste go out from you.
18
Lift up your eyes around and see;
they all gather, they come to you.
As I live, declares the
Lord
,
you shall put them all on as an ornament;
you shall bind them on as a bride does.
19
"Surely your waste and your desolate places
and your devastated land —
surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20
The children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears:
‘The place is too narrow for me;
make room for me to dwell in.’
New International Version
Chapter 49
11
I will turn all my mountains into roads,
and my highways will be raised up.
12
See, they will come from afar—
some from the north, some from the west,
some from the region of Aswan. "
13
Shout for joy, you heavens;
rejoice, you earth;
burst into song, you mountains!
For the
Lord
comforts his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
14
But Zion said, "The
Lord
has forsaken me,
the Lord has forgotten me."
15
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
16
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.
17
Your children hasten back,
and those who laid you waste depart from you.
18
Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your children gather and come to you.
As surely as I live," declares the
Lord
,
"you will wear them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride.
19
"Though you were ruined and made desolate
and your land laid waste,
now you will be too small for your people,
and those who devoured you will be far away.
20
The children born during your bereavement
will yet say in your hearing,
‘This place is too small for us;
give us more space to live in.’
New King James Version
Chapter 49
11
I will make each of My mountains a road,
And My highways shall be elevated.
12
Surely these shall come from afar;
Look! Those from the north and the west,
And these from the land of Sinim.”
13
Sing, O heavens!
Be joyful, O earth!
And break out in singing, O mountains!
For the
Lord
has comforted His people,
And will have mercy on His afflicted.
14
But Zion said, “The
Lord
has forsaken me,
And my Lord has forgotten me.”

Yet I will not forget you.

of My hands;
Your walls
are
continually before Me.
17
Your sons shall make haste;
Your destroyers and those who laid you waste
Shall go away from you.
18
Lift up your eyes, look around and see;
All these gather together
and
come to you.
As
I live,” says the
Lord
,

And bind them
on you
as a bride
does.

“For your waste and desolate places,
And the land of your destruction,
Will even now be too small for the inhabitants;
And those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20
The children you will have,
After you have lost the others,
Will say again in your ears,
‘The place
is
too small for me;
Give me a place where I may dwell.’
