Isaiah 49:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ For your waste and your desolate places,
    and the land of your destruction,
shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants,
    and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
²⁰ The children whom you shall have,
    after you have lost the others,
shall say again in your ears,
    “The place is too cramped for me;
    make room for me that I may dwell here.”
²¹ Then you shall say in your heart,
    “Who bore these for me,
since I have lost my children and am barren,
    a captive and a wanderer?
    And who has brought these up?
I was left alone;
    from where did these come?”
