Isaiah 66:12

Compare all

10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem,
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;

11 That you may feed and be satisfied
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”

12 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, ^aI will extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall ^bfeed;
On her sides shall you be ^ccarried,
And be dandled on her knees.

13 As one whom his mother comforts,
So I will ^acomfort you;
And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

The Reign and Indignation of God

14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,
And ^ayour bones shall flourish like grass;
The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants,
And His indignation to His enemies.

15 ^aFor behold, the Lord will come with fire
And with His chariots, like a whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For by fire and by ^aHis sword
The Lord will judge all flesh;
And the slain of the Lord shall be ^bmany.

Isaiah 66:12

Like a river, and - like a flowing stream "Like the great river, and like the overflowing stream" - That is, the Euphrates, (it ought to have been pointed cannahar , ut fluvius ille , as the river), and the Nile.

Then shall ye suck "And ye shall suck at the breast" - These two words al shad , at the breast, seem to have been omitted in the present text, from their likeness to the two words following; al tsad , at the side. A very probable conjecture of Houbigant. The Chaldee and Vulgate have omitted the two latter words instead of the two former. See note on Isaiah 60:4 (note).
