9. I, who make births to happen, shall I not be with child? saith the Lord; I, who causes conception, shall I be stopped? saith thy God.
10. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: be filled with joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11. That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the splendour of her glory.
12. 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.
13. As a man child whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
