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.”

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.
