12 This is what the Lord says:

“I will give her peace that will flow to her like a river.
    The wealth of the nations will come flowing to her.
Like babies you will be nursed and held in my arms.
    You will be bounced on my knees.
13 I will comfort you
    as a mother comforts her child.
    You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”

14 When you see these things, you will be happy.
    You will grow like the grass.
The Lord’s servants will see his power.
    But the Lord’s enemies will see his anger.

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.
