1-2. God’s Message:“Heaven’s my throne,earth is my footstool.What sort of house could you build for me?What holiday spot reserve for me?I made all this! I own all this!”God’s Decree.“But there is something I’m looking for:a person simple and plain,reverently responsive to what I say.
10-11. “Rejoice, Jerusalem,and all who love her, celebrate!And all you who have shed tears over her,join in the happy singing.You newborns can satisfy yourselvesat her nurturing breasts.Yes, delight yourselves and drink your fillat her ample bosom.”
12-13. God’s Message:“I’ll pour robust well-being into her like a river,the glory of nations like a river in flood.You’ll nurse at her breasts,nestle in her bosom,and be bounced on her knees.As a mother comforts her child,so I’ll comfort you.You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
