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: giveplace 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 LordGOD, 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,[a] and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23
And kings shall be thy nursing fathers,[b] 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.
24
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful[c]captivedelivered?
25
But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives[d] of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
26
And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
