And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;

And your descendants will (C)inherit the nations,
And make the desolate cities inhabited.

Shall go away from you.

All these gather together and come to you.
As I live,” says the Lord,
“You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all (F)as an ornament,
And bind them on you as a bride does.
