Isaiah 49:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ Enemies have destroyed your land.
    Its towns have become heaps of stones.
But soon your land will be too small for all your people to live in.
    The enemies who destroyed you will be far away from you.
²⁰ The children who were born in a foreign land
    will return to you.
You will hear them say,
    “This place is too small for us.
    Find more room for us to live in.”
²¹ Then you will think, “Who gave me all these children?
    Who is their father?
I was alone, with no husband.
    They killed my children
    or they took them away to a foreign land.
I could no longer give birth.
    So where did all these children come from?” ’
