12. This is what the Lord says:“I will give her peace that will flow to her like a river.The wealth of the nations will come flowing to her.Like babies you will be nursed and held in my arms.You will be bounced on my knees.
13. I will comfort youas a mother comforts her child.You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
14. When you see these things, you will be happy.You will grow like the grass.The Lord’s servants will see his power.But the Lord’s enemies will see his anger.
15. Look, the Lord is coming with fire.The Lord’s armies are coming with clouds of dust.He will punish those people with his anger.He will punish them with flames of fire.
16. The Lord will judge the people with fire.He will destroy many people with his sword.He will kill many people.
17. “These people make themselves holy and pure to go to worship their false gods in their gardens. They follow each other into their special gardens. They eat the meat of pigs and rats and other hated things. But they will all be destroyed together,” says the Lord.
