Isaiah 49:22

Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders." — Isaiah 49:22 (ASV)

Thus saith the LORD GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people; and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

We do not mind how they are brought, if they only come; some in the arms, and some after the Eastern method of putting the child on the shoulder. When God lifts up his hand, great wonders of mercy and grace are brought about.
