49:8 This is what the Lord says:
“At the time I decide to show my favor, I will respond to you;
in the day of deliverance I will help you;
I will protect you 1 and make you a covenant mediator for people, 2
to rebuild 3 the land 4
and to reassign the desolate property.
49:19 Yes, your land lies in ruins;
it is desolate and devastated. 5
But now you will be too small to hold your residents,
and those who devoured you will be far away.
