That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
So that you may drink deeply and be satisfied from her comforting care; so that you may draw nourishment and be delighted with the fullness of her glory.
God is promising that His people will find complete satisfaction and joy in the abundant comfort and glory that Jerusalem (representing God's care) will provide.
📚 Historical Context
Isaiah 66:11 is part of the prophet Isaiah's final chapters, which address the restoration of Jerusalem and God's comfort for His people after the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC. This verse uses maternal imagery, like a nursing mother, to convey God's promise of abundant spiritual nourishment and consolation, drawing from ancient Near Eastern cultural understandings of parental care as a symbol of protection and provision. It fits into the broader biblical narrative of God's faithfulness to Israel amid judgment and renewal.
