Isaiah 49:19-21
New American Standard Bible 1995
19 “For (A)your waste and desolate places and your destroyed land—
Surely now you will be (B)too cramped for the inhabitants,
And those who (C)swallowed you will be far away.
20 “The (D)children of [a]whom you were bereaved will yet say in your ears,
‘The place is too cramped for me;
Make room for me that I may live here.’
21 “Then you will (E)say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And am (F)barren, an (G)exile and a wanderer?
And who has reared these?
Behold, I was (H)left alone;
[b](I)From where did these come?’”

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?’”
