Isaiah 49:23 in Context — Isaiah 49
21 E dirás em teu coração: Quem a estes me gerou? Pois eu estava sem filhos e solitária; quem, pois, [me] criou a estes? Eis que eu fui deixada sozinha; [e] estes, onde estavam?
22 Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que levantarei minha mão às nações, e erguerei minha bandeira aos povos; então trarão teus filhos nos braços, e tuas filhas serão levadas sobre os ombros.
23 E reis serão teus tutores, e suas princesas tuas amas; perante ti se inclinarão com o rosto em terra, e lamberão o pó de teus pés; e saberás que eu sou o SENHOR; aqueles que esperam por mim não serão envergonhados.
24 Pode, por acaso, se tirar a presa de um guerreiro, ou fazer escapar os presos capturados por um justo?
25 Porém assim diz o SENHOR: Sim, os presos serão tirados do valente, e a presa do tirano escapará; porque eu brigarei com os que brigam contigo, e resgatarei teus filhos.
