Isaiah 49:18-20
Lexham English Bible
18 Lift your eyes up all around and see;
all of them gather; they come to you.
As surely as I live,[a]
declares[b] Yahweh,
surely you shall put on all of them like an ornament,
and you shall bind them on like a bride.
19 Surely your sites of ruins and desolate places and land of ruins,[c]
surely now you will be too cramped for your[d] inhabitants,[e]
and those who engulfed you will be far away.
20 Yet the children born when you were bereaved[f] will say in your hearing,[g]
“The place is too cramped for me;
make room[h] for me so that I can dwell.”
