11 For you will nurse(A) and be satisfied
    at her comforting breasts;(B)
you will drink deeply
    and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(C)

12 For this is what the Lord says:

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