Isaiah 66:9-13

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹“Will I bring a baby to the point of birth
and not deliver it?”
says the Lord;
“or will I who deliver, close the womb?”
says your God.
¹⁰Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her,
all who love her.^(A)
Rejoice greatly with her,
all who mourn over her—
¹¹so that you may nurse and be satisfied
from her comforting breast
and drink deeply and delight yourselves
from her glorious breasts.

¹²For 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.
¹³As a mother comforts her son,
so I will comfort you,^(E)
and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
