For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 66 of Isaiah. The book concludes by distinguishing between religion centered on buildings and sacrifices and an attitude of humility before God’s word. Jerusalem will experience labor pains and then consolation, while Yahweh will gather the nations to behold his glory. The ending combines judgment and universal mission, concluding with a solemn image of those who remain under divine judgment and closing Isaiah with a strong tension between new creation, worship, and judgment.

Denn also spricht der HERR: Siehe, ich breite aus den Frieden bei ihr wie einen Strom und die Herrlichkeit der Heiden wie einen ergossenen Bach; da werdet ihr saugen. Ihr sollt auf dem Arme getragen werden, und auf den Knieen wird man euch freundlich halten.
Porque así dice Jehová: He aquí que yo extiendo sobre ella paz como un río, y la gloria de las gentes como un arroyo que sale de madre; y mamaréis, y sobre el lado seréis traídos, y sobre las rodillas seréis regalados.
Porque así dice Jehová: «Miren, extiendo hacia ella paz como un río y la gloria de las naciones como un torrente desbordado. Mamarán, serán llevados sobre la cadera y serán acariciados sobre las rodillas.
Car ainsi parle l'Eternel: Voici, je dirigerai vers elle la paix comme un fleuve, Et la gloire des nations comme un torrent débordé, Et vous serez allaités; Vous serez portés sur les bras, Et caressés sur les genoux.
Perciocchè, così ha detto il Signore: Ecco, io rivolgo verso lei la pace, a guisa di fiume; e la gloria delle genti, a guisa di torrente traboccato; e voi la succerete, e sarete portati sopra i fianchi, e sarete sollazzati sopra le ginocchia.
Porque assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que estenderei sobre ela a paz como um rio, e a glória dos gentios como um ribeiro que transborda; então mamareis, ao colo vos trarão, e sobre os joelhos vos afagarão.
耶和華如此說: 「看哪,我要使平安臨到她,好像江河; 使列國的榮耀及於她,如同漲溢的溪流。 你們要盡情吸吮; 你們必被抱在身旁 ,搖弄在膝上。
