Isaiah 49:19-21
New Century Version
19 “You were destroyed and defeated,
and your land was made useless.
But now you will have more people than the land can hold,
and those people who destroyed you will be far away.
20 Children were born to you while you were sad,
but they will say to you,
‘This place is too small for us.
Give us a bigger place to live.’
21 Then you will say to yourself,
‘Who gave me all these children?
I was sad and lonely,
defeated and separated from my people.
So who reared these children?
I was left all alone.
Where did all these children come from?’”
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?’”
