KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

16 H2710 Behold, I have graven [H8804] H3709 thee upon the palms of my hands H2346 ; thy walls H8548 are continually before me.

17 H1121 Thy children H4116 shall make haste [H8765] H2040 ; thy destroyers [H8764] H2717 and they that made thee waste [H8688] H3318 shall go forth [H8799] of thee.

18 H5375 Lift up [H8798] H5869 thine eyes H5439 round about H7200 , and behold [H8798] H6908 : all these gather themselves together [H8738] H935 , and come [H8804] H2416 to thee. As I live H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H3847 , thou shalt surely clothe [H8799] H5716 thee with them all, as with an ornament H7194 , and bind [H8762] H3618 them on thee, as a bride doeth .

19 H2723 For thy waste H8074 and thy desolate places [H8802] H776 , and the land H2035 of thy destruction H3334 , shall even now be too narrow [H8799] H3427 by reason of the inhabitants [H8802] H1104 , and they that swallowed thee up [H8764] H7368 shall be far away [H8804] .

20 H1121 The children H7923 which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost H559 the other, shall say [H8799] H241 again in thine ears H4725 , The place H6862 is too strait H5066 for me: give [H8798] H4725 place H3427 to me that I may dwell [H8799] .

21 H559 Then shalt thou say [H8804] H3824 in thine heart H3205 , Who hath begotten [H8804] H7921 me these, seeing I have lost my children [H8803] H1565 , and am desolate H1540 , a captive [H8802] H5493 , and removing to and fro [H8803] H1431 ? and who hath brought up [H8765] H7604 these? Behold, I was left [H8738] H375 alone; these, where had they been ?

22 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H5375 , Behold, I will lift up [H8799] H3027 mine hand H1471 to the Gentiles H7311 , and set up [H8686] H5251 my standard H5971 to the people H935 : and they shall bring [H8689] H1121 thy sons H2684 in their arms H1323 , and thy daughters H5375 shall be carried [H8735] H3802 upon their shoulders.

23 H4428 And kings H539 shall be thy nursing fathers [H8802] H8282 , and their queens H3243 thy nursing mothers [H8688] H7812 : they shall bow down [H8691] H639 to thee with their face H776 toward the earth H3897 , and lick up [H8762] H6083 the dust H7272 of thy feet H3045 ; and thou shalt know [H8804] H3068 that I am the LORD H954 : for they shall not be ashamed [H8799] H6960 that wait [H8802] for me.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. 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.
