12For thus says Yahweh, “Behold, I stretch out apeace to her like a river,

And the bglory of the nations like an overflowing stream;

And you will 1be nursed; you will be ccarried on the 2hip and played with on the knees.

13“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will acomfort you;

And you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”

14Then you will asee this, and your bheart will be joyful,

And your cbones will flourish like the new grass;

And the dhand of Yahweh will be made known to His slaves,

But He will be eindignant toward His enemies.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

For thus says the Lord:

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

and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;

and you shall nurse, you shall be carried upon her hip,

and bounced upon her knees.

As one whom his mother comforts,

so I will comfort you;

you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;

your bones shall flourish like the grass;

and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants,

and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

For this is what the Lord says:

“I will extend peace to her like a river,

and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream;

you will nurse and be carried on her arm

and dandled on her knees.

As a mother comforts her child,

so will I comfort you;

and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”

When you see this, your heart will rejoice

and you will flourish like grass;

the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants,

but his fury will be shown to his foes.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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.

As a mother comforts her son,

so I will comfort you,

and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Lord says:

“I will give Jerusalem a river of peace and prosperity.

The wealth of the nations will flow to her.

Her children will be nursed at her breasts,

carried in her arms, and held on her lap.

I will comfort you there in Jerusalem

as a mother comforts her child.”

When you see these things, your heart will rejoice.

You will flourish like the grass!

Everyone will see the Lord’s hand of blessing on his servants—

and his anger against his enemies.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For thus says Yahweh:

“Look! I am about to spread prosperity out to her like a river,

and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream,

and you shall suck and be carried on the hip;

and you shall be played with on the knees.

As a man whose mother comforts him, so I myself will comfort you,

and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

And you shall see and your heart shall rejoice,

and your bones shall flourish like the grass,

and the hand of Yahweh shall make itself known to his servants,

and he shall curse his enemies.

KJV 1900King James Version

For thus saith the Lord,

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.

As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you;

And ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice,

And your bones shall flourish like an herb:

And the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants,

And his indignation toward his enemies.
