11so that you may nurse and be satisfied

from her comforting breast

and drink deeply and delight yourselves

from her glorious breasts.

I will make peace flow to her like a river,b

and the wealthA of nations like a flood;c

you will nurse and be carried on her hipd

and bounced on her lap.

Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,

And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream:

Then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides,

And be dandled upon her knees.
