Isaiah 49:13-23

ECB(i) 13 Shout, O heavens! And twirl, O earth! And break forth into shouting, O mountains! For Yah Veh sighs over his people and mercies his humbled. 14 And Siyon says, Yah Veh forsook me! and, Adonay forgot me! 15 Forgets a woman her suckling? Mercies she not the son of her belly? Yes, they forget; but I - I forget you not. 16 Behold, I engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually in front of me. 17 Your sons hasten; your demolishers and they who parched you go from you. 18 Lift up your eyes all round, and see: all these gather and come to you. I live - an oracle of Yah Veh surely you, as an ornament, enrobe them all, and bind them as a bride. 19 For your parched areas and your desolated and the land of your destruction are even now too restricted by reason of the settlers; and they who swallow you are far removed. 20 Again the sons of your bereavements say in your ears, The place is too tribulated for me: approach me, and I settle down. 21 Then you say in your heart, Who birthed me these, seeing I aborted and am sterile - an exile, turned aside? And who nourished these? Behold, I alone survive; These - whence are they? 22 Thus says Adonay Yah Veh, Behold, I lift my hand to the goyim and lift my ensign to the people: and they bring your sons in the bosom and bear your daughters on their shoulders: 23 and sovereigns become your nurturers and their governesses your sucklers: they prostrate to you with their nostrils toward the earth and lick up the dust of your feet; and you know I - Yah Veh: for they who await me shame not.
