Isaiah 49:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ “Zion, you were destroyed. Your land was left empty.
    It was turned into a dry and empty desert.
But now you will be too small to hold all your people.
    And those who destroyed you will be far away.
²⁰ The children born during your time of sorrow
    will speak to you. They will say,
‘This city is too small for us.
    Give us more space to live in.’
