Isaiah 49:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Look all round you!
    See all your people as they return together.’
The Lord says, ‘I tell you clearly, as the God who lives,
    you will be happy with your people.
They will make you beautiful again,
    like a bride with her beautiful jewels.
¹⁹ Enemies have destroyed your land.
    Its towns have become heaps of stones.
But soon your land will be too small for all your people to live in.
    The enemies who destroyed you will be far away from you.
²⁰ The children who were born in a foreign land
    will return to you.
You will hear them say,
    “This place is too small for us.
    Find more room for us to live in.”
