Isaiah 49:19

Yahweh Remembers Zion

¹⁸ Let your eyes be lifted up round about, and see: they are all coming together to you. By my life, says the Lord, truly you will put them all on you as an ornament, and be clothed with them like a bride. ¹⁹ For though the waste places of your land have been given to destruction, now you will not be wide enough for your people, and those who made you waste will be far away. ²⁰ The children to whom you gave birth in other lands will say in your ears, The place is not wide enough for me: make room for me to have a resting-place.
