60:5 Then you will look and smile, 6
you will be excited and your heart will swell with pride. 7
For the riches of distant lands 8 will belong to you
and the wealth of nations will come to you.
60:16 You will drink the milk of nations;
you will nurse at the breasts of kings. 9
Then you will recognize that I, the Lord, am your deliverer,
your protector, 10 the powerful ruler of Jacob. 11
66:11 For 12 you will nurse from her satisfying breasts and be nourished; 13
you will feed with joy from her milk-filled breasts. 14
66:12 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. 15
You will nurse from her breast 16 and be carried at her side;
you will play on her knees.
