Isaiah 66:10-12
New English Translation
10 “Be happy for Jerusalem
and rejoice with her, all you who love her!
Share in her great joy,
all you who have mourned over her!
11 For[a] you will nurse from her satisfying breasts and be nourished;[b]
you will feed with joy from her milk-filled breasts.[c]
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“Look, I am ready to extend to her prosperity that will flow like a river,
the riches of nations will flow into her like a stream that floods its banks.[d]
You will nurse from her breast[e] and be carried at her side;
you will play on her knees.
