Isaiah 66:11-13
New English Translation
11 For[a] you will nurse from her satisfying breasts and be nourished;[b]
you will feed with joy from her milk-filled breasts.[c]
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“Look, I am ready to extend to her prosperity that will flow like a river,
the riches of nations will flow into her like a stream that floods its banks.[d]
You will nurse from her breast[e] and be carried at her side;
you will play on her knees.
13 As a mother consoles a child,[f]
so I will console you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
