you will feed with joy from her milk-filled breasts.

15:5 Then
when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
15:6 Returning
home, he calls together
his
friends and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’
15:7 I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner
who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people
who have no need to repent.
15:8 “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?
15:9 Then when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’
15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
Luke 15:32
15:32 It was appropriate
to celebrate and be glad, for your brother
was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.’”
