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. 1
You will nurse from her breast 2 and be carried at her side;
you will play on her knees.
66:13 As a mother consoles a child, 3
so I will console you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
66:14 When you see this, you will be happy, 4
and you will be revived. 5
The Lord will reveal his power to his servants
and his anger to his enemies. 6
