LEB(i)
17 Your children hasten; your destroyers and those who laid you waste depart* from you.
18 Lift your eyes up all around and see; all of them gather; they come to you. ⌊As surely as I live⌋,* ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh, surely you shall put on all of them like an ornament, and you shall bind them on like a bride.
19 Surely your sites of ruins and desolate places and land of ruins,*
surely now you will be ⌊too cramped for your⌋* inhabitants,* and those who engulfed you will be far away. 20 Yet the children ⌊born when you were bereaved⌋* will say in your ⌊hearing⌋,*
"The place is too cramped for me; ⌊make room⌋* for me so that I can dwell." 21 Then* you will say in your heart,
"Who has borne me these?" And, "I was bereaved and barren, exiled and thrust away; so* who raised these? Look at me! I was left alone; ⌊where have these come from⌋?"*
