17 Your children hasten;
    your destroyers and those who laid you waste depart[a] from you.
18 Lift your eyes up all around and see;
    all of them gather; they come to you.

    declares[c] Yahweh,
surely you shall put on all of them like an ornament,
    and you shall bind them on like a bride.

surely now you will be too cramped for your[e] inhabitants,[f]
    and those who engulfed you will be far away.
