"Mother, embrace your children; bring them up with gladness, as does a dove; strengthen their feet, because I have chosen you, says the Lord.
16
And I will raise up the dead from their places, and bring them out from their tombs, because I recognize my name in them.
17
Do not fear, mother of children, for I have chosen you, says the Lord.
18
I will send you help, my servants Isaiah and Jeremiah. According to their counsel I have consecrated and prepared for you twelve trees loaded with various fruits,
19
and the same number of springs flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains on which roses and lilies grow; by these I will fill your children with joy.
20
"Guard the rights of the widow, secure justice for the ward, give to the needy, defend the orphan, clothe the naked,
21
care for the injured and the weak, do not ridicule the lame, protect the maimed, and let the blind have a vision of my splendor.
22
Protect the old and the young within your walls.
23
When you find any who are dead, commit them to the grave and mark it, and I will give you the first place in my resurrection.
24
Pause and be quiet, my people, because your rest will come.
25
"Good nurse, nourish your children; strengthen their feet.
