Isaiah 49:19-21

Tree of Life Version

¹⁹ For your waste and desolate places
and your destroyed land
    will now be surely too small for the inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
²⁰ The children of your bereavement
will yet say in your ears,
“The place is too cramped for me!
Make room for me to settle in.”
²¹ Then you will say in your heart,
“Who has borne these for me?
Wasn’t I bereaved of my children—
    barren, an exile and wandering?
So who has raised these?
Behold, I was left alone—
    these, where were they?”
