10 “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
and declare it in the coastlands far away;
say, ‘He who scattered Israel will (A)gather him,
and will keep him (B)as a shepherd keeps his flock.’
11 (C)For the Lord has ransomed Jacob
and has redeemed him from (D)hands too strong for him.
12 They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
(E)and they shall be radiant (F)over the goodness of the Lord,
(G)over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and over the young of the flock and the herd;
(H)their life shall be like a watered garden,
(I)and they shall languish no more.
13 (J)Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.
(K)I will turn their mourning into joy;
I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
14 (L)I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance,
and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,
declares the Lord.”

and redeem(E) them from the hand of those stronger(F) than they.
12 They will come and shout for joy(G) on the heights(H) of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty(I) of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,(J)
the young of the flocks(K) and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,(L)
and they will sorrow(M) no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning(N) into gladness;
I will give them comfort(O) and joy(P) instead of sorrow.
14 I will satisfy(Q) the priests(R) with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,(S)”

13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Isaiah 66:10-14
English Standard Version
10 (A)“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her,
all you who love her;
rejoice with her in joy,
all you who mourn over her;
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied
from her consoling breast;
that you may drink deeply with delight
from her glorious abundance.”[a]
12 For thus says the Lord:
(B)“Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,
and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;
and (C)you shall nurse, you shall be carried upon her hip,
and bounced upon her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts,
so (D)I will comfort you;
you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
(E)your bones shall flourish like the grass;
and (F)the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants,
and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.

all you who love(B) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn(C) over her.
11 For you will nurse(D) and be satisfied

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, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
