11 Jerusalem will take care of you like a mother. She will give you all that you need, like a mother that feeds her baby with milk. The great blessing that comes from her full breasts will make you very happy.

12 The Lord says,

‘Look! I will give peace to Jerusalem,
    like a great river.
Riches from other nations will pour into the city,
    like a stream that is full of water.
Jerusalem will take care of you like a mother that feeds her baby.
    She will carry you in her arms,
    and she will hold you on her knees.
13 I will comfort you,
    as a mother comforts her child.
As you live in Jerusalem,
    you will be happy again.’
