A Mother's Tender Comfort
Scholars highlight that the verse compares God's comfort to a mother's, specifically for a grown son, not just a baby. This implies a deep, tender comfort for someone who has endured hardship, like a returning exile. This comfort is personal and restorative, offered when we fall into sin, face affliction, or are being reconciled to God after discipline.
