Isaiah 49:13-26 Shout, ye heavens, and rejoice thou earth; and the mountains shall break forth with shouting: for Jehovah comforted his people and he will pity his afflicted.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Shout, ye heavens, and rejoice thou earth; and the mountains shall break forth with shouting: for Jehovah comforted his people and he will pity his afflicted. ¹⁴ And Zion will say, Jehovah forsook me, and the Lord forgot me. ¹⁵ Shall a woman forget her child, from pitying the son of her womb? also these shall forget, and I shall not forget thee. ¹⁶ Behold, upon the palms I engraved thee; thy walls before me continually. ¹⁷ Thy sons hastened; they destroying thee and laying thee waste shall come forth from thee. ¹⁸ Lift up round about thine eyes and see: they all gathered themselves together, they came to thee. I live, says Jehovah, thou shalt put them all on as an ornament, and thou shalt bind them as a bride. ¹⁹ For thy wastes and thy desolations, and the land of thy destruction, for now it shall press for the inhabitants, and they swallowing thee up were far away. ²⁰ Yet shall the sons of thy bereavement say in thine ears, The place is strait to me: draw near to me and I shall dwell. ²¹ And thou saidst in thy heart, Who begat these to me, and I being bereaved and barren, an exile, and departing? and who caused these to grow? Behold, I was left alone; they, where were they? ²² Thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and to the peoples I will raise up my signal: and they brought thy sons in the bosom, and thy daughters shall be lifted up upon the shoulder. ²³ And kings were thy supporters, and princesses thy nurses: their faces to the earth they shall worship to thee, and the dust of thy feet shall they lick up; and thou knewest that I Jehovah, that they shall not be ashamed waiting for me. ²⁴ Shall the prey be taken from the strong? and if the captivity of the just shalt be delivered? ²⁵ For thus said Jehovah, Also the captivity of the strong shall be taken, and the prey of the terrible shall escape: and I will contend with him contending with thee, and thy sons I will save. ²⁶ And I will cause those oppressing thee to eat their own flesh, and they shall drink their blood to the full as new wine: and all flesh shall know that I am Jehovah saving thee, and redeeming thee, the Mighty One of Jacob.
