Isaiah 49:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 Surely your sites of ruins and desolate places and land of ruins,[a]
surely now you will be too cramped for your[b] inhabitants,[c]
and those who engulfed you will be far away.
20 Yet the children born when you were bereaved[d] will say in your hearing,[e]
“The place is too cramped for me;
make room[f] for me so that I can dwell.”
21 Then[g] you will say in your heart,
“Who has borne me these?”
And, “I was bereaved and barren,
exiled and thrust away;
so[h] who raised these?
Look at me! I was left alone;
where have these come from?”[i]
