Ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 14 And ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass. And the hand of LORD shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation against his enemies.
