‘Look! I will give peace to Jerusalem,
    like a great river.
Riches from other nations will pour into the city,
    like a stream that is full of water.
Jerusalem will take care of you like a mother that feeds her baby.
    She will carry you in her arms,
    and she will hold you on her knees.
13 I will comfort you,
    as a mother comforts her child.
As you live in Jerusalem,
    you will be happy again.’

14 And when you see these things happen, you will feel very happy! You will become strong and healthy, like fresh grass. The Lord's servants will know that he is there to bless them. But his enemies will see that he is angry with them.
