15 “Whereas you have been (A)forsaken and (B)hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an (C)object of pride forever,
A joy from generation to generation.
16 You will also (D)suck the milk of nations,
And suck the breast of kings;
Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your (E)Savior
And your (F)Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Joy in Jerusalem’s Future

10 “Be (A)joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who (B)love her;
Be exceedingly (C)glad with her, all you who mourn over her,
11 So that you may nurse and (D)be satisfied with her comforting breasts,
So that you may drink fully and be delighted with her (E)bountiful breasts.”
12 For this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I extend (F)peace to her like a river,
And the (G)glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;
And you will [a]be nursed, you will be (H)carried on the [b]hip and rocked back and forth on the knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will (I)comfort you;
And you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
