And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”
“Behold, aI will extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall bfeed;
On her sides shall you be ccarried,
And be dandled on her knees.
The Reign and Indignation of God
And ayour bones shall flourish like grass;
The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants,
And His indignation to His enemies.

Isaiah 66:12
Like a river, and - like a flowing stream "Like the great river, and like the overflowing stream" - That is, the Euphrates, (it ought to have been pointed cannahar , ut fluvius ille , as the river), and the Nile.
Then shall ye suck "And ye shall suck at the breast" - These two words al shad , at the breast, seem to have been omitted in the present text, from their likeness to the two words following; al tsad , at the side. A very probable conjecture of Houbigant. The Chaldee and Vulgate have omitted the two latter words instead of the two former. See note on Isaiah 60:4 (note).
