Isaiah 49:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ “You are destroyed and defeated now.
    Your land is useless.
But after a short time, you will have many people in your land.
    And those who destroyed you will be far, far away.
²⁰ You were sad for the children you lost, but they will tell you,
    ‘This place is too small!
    Give us a bigger place to live!’
²¹ Then you will say to yourself,
    ‘Who gave me all these children?
I was sad and lonely.
    My children were taken away.
They were gone.
    So who gave me these children?
Look, I was the only one left.
    Where did all these children come from?’”
