Isaiah 49:19-20

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 

1 tn Heb “Indeed your ruins and your desolate places, and the land of your destruction.” This statement is abruptly terminated in the Hebrew text and left incomplete.

2 tn Heb “me.” The singular is collective.

3 tn Heb “draw near to me so I can dwell.”
