Isaiah 49:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 Though you were waste and desolate,
a land of ruins,
Now you shall be too narrow for your inhabitants,
while those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 The children of whom you were bereft
shall yet say in your hearing,
“This place is too narrow for me,
make room for me to live in.”
21 You shall ask yourself:
“Who has borne me these,
when I was bereft and barren?
Exiled and repudiated,
who has reared them?
I was left all alone;
where then do these come from?”(A)
Isaiah 49:19-21

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?’”
