Isaiah 49:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸Look up and look around you.
    All your children are gathering to return to you.”
The Lord says, “As surely as I live,
    your children will be like jewels.
    You will be as proud of them as a bride is of her jewels.

¹⁹“You were destroyed and defeated.
    Your land was made useless.
But now you will have more people than the land can hold.
    And those people who destroyed you will be far away.
²⁰Children were born to you while you were sad.
    But they will say to you,
‘This place is too small for us.
    Give us a bigger place to live.’
