For 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.

The verse 19 is found in chapter 49 of Isaiah. Zion feels abandoned, but God responds by comparing himself to a mother who cannot forget the child she nurses. Restoration is represented through returning children and nations participating in rebuilding. God’s power is demonstrated as oppressors lose what they had taken and the people recover their identity.

Denn dein wüstes, verstörtes und zerbrochenes Land wird dir alsdann zu eng werden, darin zu wohnen, wenn deine Verderber fern von dir weichen,
Porque tus asolamientos, y tus ruinas, y tu tierra desierta, ahora será angosta por la multitud de los moradores; y tus destruidores serán apartados lejos.
En cuanto a tus ruinas, tus lugares desolados y tu tierra destruida, ahora serás demasiado estrecha para tus habitantes, y tus devoradores estarán lejos.
Dans tes places ravagées et désertes, Dans ton pays ruiné, Tes habitants seront désormais à l'étroit; Et ceux qui te dévoraient s'éloigneront.
Perciocchè le tue ruine, ed i tuoi luoghi deserti, ed il tuo paese distrutto, anzi tu stessa, sarai allora troppo stretta per gli abitatori; e quelli che ti divoravano si allontaneranno.
Porque nos teus desertos, e nos teus lugares solitários, e na tua terra destruída, agora te verás apertada de moradores, e os que te devoravam se afastarão para longe de ti.
至於你荒廢淒涼之處, 並你被毀壞之地, 如今居民必嫌太窄, 吞滅你的必離你遙遠。
