Certainly now [in the coming years] will be too cramped for the inhabitants,
And those who once engulfed you will be far away.

‘The place is too cramped for me’;

Since I have been bereaved of my children
And am barren, an exile and a wanderer?
And who has reared these?
Indeed, I was left alone;
[a]From where then did these children come?’”
