KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

14 H6726 But Zion H559 said [H8799] H3068 , The LORD H5800 hath forsaken [H8804] H136 me, and my Lord H7911 hath forgotten [H8804] me.

15 H802 Can a woman H7911 forget [H8799] H5764 her sucking child H7355 , that she should not have compassion [H8763] H1121 on the son H990 of her womb H7911 ? yea, they may forget [H8799] H7911 , yet will I not forget [H8799] thee.

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.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me. ¹⁵ Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee. ¹⁶ Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. ¹⁷ Thy children 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 l live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride. ¹⁹ For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places and thy land that hath been destroyed, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. ²⁰ The children of thy bereavement shall yet say 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 been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they? ²² Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples: and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall he 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 faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and they that wait for me shall not be ashamed.
