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]

Isaiah 49:19-21
New International Version
19 “Though you were ruined and made desolate(A)
and your land laid waste,(B)
now you will be too small for your people,(C)
and those who devoured(D) you will be far away.
20 The children born during your bereavement
will yet say in your hearing,
‘This place is too small for us;
give us more space to live in.’(E)
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who bore me these?(F)
I was bereaved(G) and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.(H)
Who brought these(I) up?
I was left(J) all alone,(K)
but these—where have they come from?’”
