Revised Version 1885

Isaiah 49:17-20 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

17. Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

18. Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.

19. For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places and thy land that hath been destroyed, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

20. The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
