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.

12 For this is what the Lord says:

“I will extend peace(A) to her like a river,(B)
    and the wealth(C) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(D) on her arm
    and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(E)
    so will I comfort(F) you;
    and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”

14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(G)
    and you will flourish(H) like grass;
the hand(I) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(J)
    but his fury(K) will be shown to his foes.
