10 Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her,
all who love her.(A)
Rejoice greatly with her,
all who mourn over her—
11 so that you may nurse and be satisfied
from her comforting breast
and drink deeply and delight yourselves
from her glorious breasts.

12 For this is what the Lord says:

I will make peace flow to her like a river,(B)
and the wealth[a] of nations like a flood;(C)
you will nurse and be carried on her hip(D)
and bounced on her lap.
13 As a mother comforts her son,
so I will comfort you,(E)
and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.

14 You will see, you will rejoice,
and you[b] will flourish like grass;(F)
then the Lord’s power will be revealed to His servants,
but He will show His wrath against His enemies.
