Isaiah 49:13-23 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break out into singing, O mountains; for the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break out into singing, O mountains; for the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted. ¹⁴ But Zion said, Jehovah has forsaken me, and my LORD has forgotten me. ¹⁵ Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you. ¹⁶ Behold, I have carved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are forever before Me. ¹⁷ Your sons shall make haste; those destroying you and ruining you shall go out from you. ¹⁸ Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather and come to you. As I live, says Jehovah, you shall surely wear them as an ornament, and bind them on as a bride. ¹⁹ For your wastes and your deserted places, and your land of ruins, shall even now be too narrow to dwell there, and they who swallowed you up shall be far away. ²⁰ The sons of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; come near to me so that I may dwell. ²¹ Then you shall say in your heart, Who has borne me these, since I am bereaved, and desolate, turned aside and an exile, and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they? ²² So says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and have set up My banner to the people; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders. ²³ And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nurses. They shall bow to you, faces to the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Jehovah; by whom they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.
