66:10 Be happy for Jerusalem
and rejoice with her, all you who love her!
Share in her great joy,
all you who have mourned over her!
66:11 For 1 you will nurse from her satisfying breasts and be nourished; 2
you will feed with joy from her milk-filled breasts. 3
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. 4
You will nurse from her breast 5 and be carried at her side;
you will play on her knees.
66:13 As a mother consoles a child, 6
so I will console you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
66:14 When you see this, you will be happy, 7
and you will be revived. 8
The Lord will reveal his power to his servants
and his anger to his enemies. 9
