Isaiah 49:20-22
Living Bible
20 The generations born in exile shall return and say, ‘We need more room! It’s crowded here!’ 21 Then you will think to yourself, ‘Who has given me all these? For most of my children were killed, and the rest were carried away into exile, leaving me here alone. Who bore these? Who raised them for me?’”
22 The Lord God says, “See, I will give a signal to the Gentiles, and they shall carry your little sons back to you in their arms, and your daughters on their shoulders.

Isaiah 49:20-22
New International Version
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.’(A)
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who bore me these?(B)
I was bereaved(C) and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.(D)
Who brought these(E) up?
I was left(F) all alone,(G)
but these—where have they come from?’”
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord(H) says:
