לְמַ֤עַן תִּֽינְקוּ֙ וּשְׂבַעְתֶּ֔ם מִשֹּׁ֖ד תַּנְחֻמֶ֑יהָ לְמַ֧עַן תָּמֹ֛צּוּ וְהִתְעַנַּגְתֶּ֖ם מִזִּ֥יז כְּבוֹדָֽהּ׃ (ס)
That ye may suck, and be satisfied With the breast of her consolations; That ye may drink deeply with delight Of the abundance of her glory.
Rashi on Isaiah

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
With the breast of her consolations. Comp. Thou shalt suck the breast of kings (60:16). A fulness of joy is meant by this expression; for consolations are here the opposite of mournings.17תנחמים, in its literal meaning, consolations, suggests the idea of the co-existence of their cause; for when the evil is removed, consolation is no longer required. I. E. therefore remarks that the word תנחמים in this verse is the opposite of mourning, mentioned in the preceding verse, and signifies happiness.
