12. For thus says the Lord:“Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.Then you shall feed;On her sides shall you be carried,And be dandled on her knees.
13. As one whom his mother comforts,So I will comfort you;And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”
14. When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,And your bones shall flourish like grass;The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants,And His indignation to His enemies.
15. For behold, the Lord will come with fireAnd with His chariots, like a whirlwind,To render His anger with fury,And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16. For by fire and by His swordThe Lord will judge all flesh;And the slain of the Lord shall be many.
