¹⁹ “Though you were ruined and made desolate^(A)
    and your land laid waste,^(B)
now you will be too small for your people,^(C)
    and those who devoured^(D) you will be far away.
²⁰ The children born during your bereavement
    will yet say in your hearing,
‘This place is too small for us;
    give us more space to live in.’^(E)
21 Then you will say in your heart,
    ‘Who bore me these?^(F)
I was bereaved^(G) and barren;
    I was exiled and rejected.^(H)
    Who brought these^(I) up?
I was left^(J) all alone,^(K)
    but these—where have they come from?’”

⁸ I will signal^(A) for them
    and gather them in.
Surely I will redeem them;
    they will be as numerous^(B) as before.
