Isaiah 49:19 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

19“Though you were ruined and made desolate

and your land laid waste,

now you will be too small for your people,

and those who devoured you will be far away.

19“For your ruins and deserted places and your destroyed land—

Now you will certainly be too cramped for the inhabitants,

And those who swallowed you will be far away.

19For your waste and desolate places and your destroyed land—

Surely now you will be too cramped for the inhabitants,

And those who swallowed you will be far away.

19“For your ruins and desolate places and your land [once the scene] of destruction—

Certainly now [in the coming years] will be too cramped for the inhabitants,

And those who once engulfed you will be far away.

19For your ruined and desolate places

and your ravaged land

will now indeed be too small for your people,

and those who devoured you will be far away.

19“Zion, you were destroyed. Your land was left empty.

It was turned into a dry and empty desert.

But now you will be too small to hold all your people.

And those who destroyed you will be far away.
