Isaiah
Isaiah 66:12–13
12For this is what the LORD says:
“I will extend peace to her like a river,
and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream;
you will nurse and be carried on her arm,
and bounced upon her knees.
13As a mother comforts her son,
so will I comfort you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
