20 Yet as you listen, the children
that you have been deprived of will say,
‘This place is too small for me;
make room for me so that I may settle.’(A)
21 Then you will say within yourself,
‘Who fathered these for me?
I was deprived of my children and unable to conceive,
exiled and wandering—
but who brought them up?
See, I was left by myself—
but these, where did they come from?’”[a]

22 This is what the Lord God says:

Look, I will lift up My hand to the nations,
and raise My banner to the peoples.(B)
They will bring your sons in their arms,
and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.(C)
