12 For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.

13 As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

14 You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.

12 For this is what the Lord says:

“I will extend peace(A) to her like a river,(B)
    and the wealth(C) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(D) on her arm
    and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(E)
    so will I comfort(F) you;
    and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”

14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(G)
    and you will flourish(H) like grass;
the hand(I) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(J)
    but his fury(K) will be shown to his foes.
