17. Your children hasten back,and those who laid you waste depart from you.
18. Lift up your eyes and look around;all your children gather and come to you.As surely as I live,’ declares the Lord,‘you will wear them all as ornaments;you will put them on, like a bride.
19. ‘Though you were ruined and made desolateand your land laid waste,now you will be too small for your people,and those who devoured you will be far away.
20. The children born during your bereavementwill yet say in your hearing,“This place is too small for us;give us more space to live in.”
