Isaiah 49:17-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁷ Your children and your builders make haste; your destroyers and those who laid you waste go forth from you.

¹⁸ Lift up your eyes round about and see [the returning exiles, ready to rebuild Jerusalem]; all these gather together and come to you. As I live, says the Lord, you [Zion] shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament and bind them on you as a bride does.

¹⁹ For your waste and desolate places and your land [once the scene] of destruction surely now [in coming years] will be too narrow to accommodate the population, and those who once swallowed you up will be far away.
