In Isaiah 49:15–50:3, we hear Yahweh give 4 promises in
response to Zion's lament (v. 14) that prove they will not
be put to shame if they wait on Him (v. 23c).
I. Though you fear being forgotten, I will never
forget you (49:15–16).
II. Though you fear being forsaken, I will bless you
with many grandchildren …
A. who will adorn you as a bride (49:17–18),
B. who will overflow your devastated land
(49:19–20),
C. who will surprise you with their presence
(49:21),
D. who will be delivered by your enemies
(49:22–23).
III. Though you fear being overpowered, I will
overpower your oppressors (49:24–26).
IV. Though you fear being divorced and your children
sold into slavery for your sin, I will redeem you
through my power (50:1–3).
