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.

  1. Isaiah 66:11 Or breast

10 “Rejoice(A) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
    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
    at her comforting breasts;(E)
you will drink deeply
    and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(F)

12 For this is what the Lord says:

“I will extend peace(G) to her like a river,(H)
    and the wealth(I) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(J) on her arm
    and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(K)
    so will I comfort(L) you;
    and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”

14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(M)
    and you will flourish(N) like grass;
the hand(O) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(P)
    but his fury(Q) will be shown to his foes.

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.
