19 “Surely your waste and your desolate places
    and your devastated land—
(A)surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
    and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 (B)The children of your bereavement
    will yet say in your ears:
(C)‘The place is too narrow for me;
    make room for me to dwell in.’
21 Then you will say in your heart:
    ‘Who has borne me these?
(D)I was bereaved and barren,
    exiled and put away,
    but who has brought up these?
Behold, I was left alone;
    from where have these come?’”
