Isaiah 49:17
King James VersionSource notes
“Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.”
Context
14But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
15Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
16Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of hands; thy walls continually before me.
17Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
18Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, come to thee. I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them as a bride
19For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
20The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
