10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her,

11 That ye may suck, [a]and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolation: that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the brightness of her glory.

12 For thus saith the Lord, behold, I will extend [b]peace over her like a flood, and the glory of the [c]Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be [d]born upon her sides, and be joyful upon her knees.
