Isaiah 49

Treated in 35 passages across the library.

  • 49:15 Could a woman forget the baby she is nursing, or stop feeling tender love for the son she carried? Women such as these may forget, but I will not forget you. 10
  • 49:23 Kings will look after your children as guardians, and their princesses will nurse them for you. They will bow low before you with their faces to the ground and lick the dust off your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD, and that none who wait in hope for me end up ashamed. 7
  • 49:4 But I said, "I have toiled for no purpose; I have worn out my strength for what is empty, a mere breath. Even so, my case rests with the LORD, and my God holds my wages." 3
  • 49:6 he says: "It is not enough that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and bring home the survivors of Israel. I will make you a light for the nations as well, so that you may be my salvation to the farthest edge of the earth." 3
  • 49:16 Look, I have carved you into my palms; your walls are never out of my sight. 3
  • 49:5 And now the LORD speaks, who shaped me in the womb to be his servant, to turn Jacob back to him and to gather Israel to him (for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD, and my God has become my strength), 2
  • 49:1 Coastlands, listen to me; peoples who live far away, give heed. The LORD called me while I was still in the womb; he spoke my name while I was yet inside my mother. 1
  • 49:2 He gave me a mouth as sharp as a sword and kept me covered in the shade of his hand. He shaped me into a keen, polished arrow and tucked me away in his quiver. 1
  • 49:7 The LORD, the Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One, says this to the one whom everyone despises, whom the nation detests, the servant of rulers: Kings will see you and rise to their feet; princes will see you and bow low, because of the LORD, who keeps faith, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you. 1
  • 49:8 The LORD says this: In a time of favor I answered you; on the day of salvation I came to your aid. I will watch over you and give you to be a covenant for the people, to set the land on its feet again and to hand out once more its ruined estates, 1
  • 49:10 They will not go hungry or thirsty, and neither the searing heat nor the sun will beat them down, for the one who has mercy on them will be their guide; he will bring them to springs of water. 1
  • 49:13 Heavens, ring out with joy! Earth, be glad! Mountains, break out in cries of joy! For the LORD has comforted his people and will show tender love to his suffering ones. 1
  • 49:25 But the LORD says this: Yes, a warrior's captives will be taken from him, and a tyrant's loot will slip out of his hands. I myself will take on the one who fights you, and I myself will rescue your children. 1
