9 “Will I bring a baby to the point of birthand not deliver it? ”says the Lord;“or will I who deliver, close the womb? ”says your God.
10 Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her,all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her,all who mourn over her —
11 so that you may nurse and be satisfiedfrom her comforting breastand drink deeply and delight yourselvesfrom her glorious breasts.
12 For this is what the Lord says:I will make peace flow to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flood; you will nurse and be carried on her hip and bounced on her lap.
13 As a mother comforts her son,so I will comfort you, and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 You will see, you will rejoice,and you will flourish like grass; then the Lord’s power will be revealed to His servants,but He will show His wrath against His enemies.
15 Look, the Lord will come with fire —His chariots are like the whirlwind —to execute His anger with furyand His rebuke with flames of fire.
