Isaiah 49:18-20
International Standard Version
Isaiah 49:18-20
International Standard Version
18 Lift up your eyes and look around—
they have all gathered together
and are coming to you.
“As surely as I live,” says the Lord,
“you will clothe yourself with all of them like ornaments,
and tie them on like a bride.
19 Indeed, your ruins, your desolate places,
and your devastated land
will now be too crowded for your inhabitants,
while those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 “The children who are grieving at present[a]
will yet say in your hearing,
‘This place is too crowded for me;
make room for me,
so I may have a place to live.’
