Isaiah 49:15-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 49
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.
’
21
Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who has fathered these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And cannot conceive,
and I am
an exile, and a wanderer?
And who has raised these?
Behold, I was left alone;
Where are these from?’?'
22
This is what the Lord
God
says:
'Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations
And set up My flag to the peoples;
And they will bring your sons in their arms,
And your daughters will be carried on
their
shoulders.
King James Version
Chapter 49
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.
21
Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, 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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 49
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.’
21
Then you will say within yourself,
‘Who fathered these for me?
I was deprived of my children and unable to conceive,
exiled and wandering—
but who brought them up?
See, I was left by myself—
but these, where did they come from?’"
22
This is what the Lord
God
says:
Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
and raise my banner to the peoples.
They will bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
New Living Translation
Chapter 49
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!’
21
Then you will think to yourself,
‘Who has given me all these descendants?
For most of my children were killed,
and the rest were carried away into exile.
I was left here all alone.
Where did all these people come from?
Who bore these children?
Who raised them for me?’'
22
This is what the Sovereign
Lord
says:
'See, I will give a signal to the godless nations.
They will carry your little sons back to you in their arms;
they will bring your daughters on their shoulders.
English Standard Version
Chapter 49
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.’
21
Then you will say in your heart:
‘Who has borne me these?
I was bereaved and barren,
exiled and put away,
but who has brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
from where have these come?’"
22
Thus says the Lord
God
:
"Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations,
and raise my signal to the peoples;
and they shall bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
New International Version
Chapter 49
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.’
21
Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who bore me these?
I was bereaved and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.
Who brought these up?
I was left all alone,
but these—where have they come from?’ "
22
This is what the Sovereign
Lord
says:
"See, I will beckon to the nations,
I will lift up my banner to the peoples;
they will bring your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their hips.
New King James Version
Chapter 49
15
“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
16
See, I have inscribed you on the palms
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
,
“You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all as an ornament,
And bind them
on you
as a bride
does.
19
“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.’
21
Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have lost my children and am desolate,
A captive, and wandering to and fro?
And who has brought these up?
There I was, left alone;
But these, where
were
they?’ ”
22
Thus says the Lord
God
:
“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
And set up My standard for the peoples;
They shall bring your sons in
their
arms,
And your daughters shall be carried on
their
shoulders;
