# General Information:

Yahweh continues speaking to Zion as if it were a woman. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

# Though you were a waste and desolate

The words "a waste" and "desolate" mean basically the same thing and emphasize that the enemy has destroyed Zion and left it empty. AT: "Though you were completely desolate" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

# those who devoured you

The enemy destroying Zion is spoken of as if they had devoured it. AT: "those who destroyed you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# The children born during the time of your bereavement

Yahweh speaks of the time when the people of Jerusalem were in exile as if the city was bereaved of her children. Those who were born while the people were in exile are spoken of as the city's children. AT: "Those who will inhabit you, who were born while the people were in exile" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# The place is too cramped for us

This means that there will be so many people that the city will be too small for them all to live in it.
