20 The children born in the time of your bereavement
    will yet say in your hearing:
‘The place is too crowded for me;
    make room for me to settle.’
21 Then you will say in your heart,
    ‘Who has borne me these?
I was bereaved and barren,
    exiled and put away—
    so who has reared these?
I was left all alone—
    where then have these come from?’

22 Thus says the Lord God:
I will soon lift up my hand to the nations,
    and raise my signal to the peoples;
and they shall bring your sons in their bosom,
    and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
