Isaiah 49:19-21

Context

49:19 Yes, your land lies in ruins;

it is desolate and devastated. 1 

But now you will be too small to hold your residents,

and those who devoured you will be far away.

49:20 Yet the children born during your time of bereavement

will say within your hearing,

‘This place is too cramped for us, 2 

make room for us so we can live here.’ 3 

49:21 Then you will think to yourself, 4 

‘Who bore these children for me?

I was bereaved and barren,

dismissed and divorced. 5 

Who raised these children?

Look, I was left all alone;

where did these children come from?’”

Isaiah 54:2-3

Context

54:2 Make your tent larger,

stretch your tent curtains farther out! 6 

Spare no effort,

lengthen your ropes,

and pound your stakes deep. 7 

54:3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left;

your children will conquer 8  nations

and will resettle desolate cities.

Isaiah 60:22

Context

60:22 The least of you will multiply into 9  a thousand;

the smallest of you will become a large nation.

When the right time comes, I the Lord will quickly do this!” 10
