Context Reading
17Your children hurry.Your destroyers and those who devastated you will leave you. 18Lift up your eyes all around, and see:all these gather themselves together, and come to you.As I live,” says Yahweh, “you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament,and dress yourself with them, like a bride. 19“For, as for your waste and your desolate places,and your land that has been destroyed,surely now that land will be too small for the inhabitants,and those who swallowed you up will be far away. 20The children of your bereavement will say in your ears,‘This place is too small for me.Give me a place to live in.’ 21Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my childrenand am alone, an exile, and wandering back and forth?Who has brought these up?Behold, I was left alone. Where were these?’”
