49:21 Then you will think to yourself, 1
‘Who bore these children for me?
I was bereaved and barren,
dismissed and divorced. 2
Who raised these children?
Look, I was left all alone;
where did these children come from?’”
51:18 There was no one to lead her
among all the children she bore;
there was no one to take her by the hand
among all the children she raised.
