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.[a]
You will nurse from her breast[b] and be carried at her side;
you will play on her knees.
13 As a mother consoles a child,[c]
so I will console you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
14 When you see this, you will be happy,[d]
and you will be revived.[e]
The Lord will reveal his power to his servants
and his anger to his enemies.[f]
