Surely now you will be too cramped for the inhabitants,
And those who swallowed you will be far away.

He will comfort all her waste places.
And her wilderness He will make like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the Lord;

Joy and gladness will be found in her,

Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.

“For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your descendants will possess nations
And will resettle the desolate cities.

And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.

They will raise up the former devastations;
And they will repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.

And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.

excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
