12 The Lord says, “I will bring you lasting prosperity; the wealth of the nations will flow to you like a river that never goes dry. You will be like a child that is nursed by its mother, carried in her arms, and treated with love. 13 I will comfort you in Jerusalem, as a mother comforts her child. 14 When you see this happen, you will be glad; it will make you strong and healthy. Then you will know that I, the Lord, help those who obey me, and I show my anger against my 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.
