“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.”
The promise that one will nurse and be satisfied with the breast of divine comfort, drink deeply from the abundant glorious breast, indicates intimate nourishment and deep satisfaction. The maternal imagery suggests that divine comfort is experientially intimate and deeply sustaining. The emphasis on abundant provision indicates that divine care exceeds expectation. The verse uses physical sensation—nursing, drinking—to articulate spiritual experience: divine comfort is tangible and immediate. This verse's sensory imagery makes eschatological promise concrete and embodied rather than abstract or merely future.
