*
Lift up your eyes ,
look around and see ;
All these gather together and come to you .
As I live ,"
says the LORD , "
You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all as an ornament ,
And bind them on you as a bride does .
* "
For your waste and desolate places ,
And the land of your destruction ,
Will even now be too small for the inhabitants ;
And those who swallowed you up will be far away .
*
The children you will have ,
After you have lost the others ,
Will say again in your ears , "
The place is too small for me ;
Give me a place where I may dwell .'
*
Then you will say in your heart , "
Who has begotten these for me ,
Since I have lost my children and am desolate ,
A captive ,
and wandering to and fro ?
And who has brought these up ?
There I was ,
left alone ;
But these ,
where were they ?"'
*
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Behold ,
I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations ,
And set up My standard for the peoples ;
They shall bring your sons in their arms ,
And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders ;
*
Kings shall be your foster fathers ,
And their queens your nursing mothers ;
They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth ,
And lick up the dust of your feet .
Then you will know that I am the LORD ,
For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me ."
