Isaiah 49:18-20
Good News Translation
18 Look around and see what is happening!
Your people are assembling—they are coming home!
As surely as I am the living God,
you will be proud of your people,
as proud as a bride is of her jewels.
19 “Your country was ruined and desolate—
but now it will be too small
for those who are coming to live there.
And those who left you in ruins
will be far removed from you.
20 Your people who were born in exile
will one day say to you,
‘This land is too small—
we need more room to live in!’
Isaiah 49:18-20
New International Version
18 Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your children gather(A) and come to you.
As surely as I live,(B)” declares the Lord,
“you will wear(C) them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride.
19 “Though you were ruined and made desolate(D)
and your land laid waste,(E)
now you will be too small for your people,(F)
and those who devoured(G) 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.’(H)
