Isaiah 66:15

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.

17 “Those^a who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,
To go to the gardens
¹After an idol in the midst,
Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,
Shall¹ be consumed together,” says the Lord.

18 “For I know their works and their ^athoughts. It shall be that I will ^bgather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.

19 ^aI will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. ^bAnd they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles.

Isaiah 66:15

The Lord will come with fire "Jehovah shall come as a fire" - For baesh , in fire, the Septuagint had in their copy kaesh , as a fire; ̔ .

To render his anger with fury "To breathe forth his anger in a burning heat" - Instead of lehashib , as pointed by the Masoretes, to render, I understand it as lehashshib , to breathe, from nashab .
