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

extend—I will turn peace (prosperity) upon her, like a river turned in its course [GESENIUS]. Or, "I will spread peace over her as an overflowing river" [BARNES], (Isaiah 48:18).

flowing stream—as the Nile by its overflow fertilizes the whole of Egypt.

borne upon . . . sides—(See on Isaiah 60:4).

her . . . her—If "ye" refers to the Jews, translate, "ye shall be borne upon their sides . . . their knees," namely, those of the Gentiles, as in Isaiah 49:22; and as "suck" (Isaiah 60:16) refers to the Jews sucking the Gentile wealth. However, English Version gives a good sense: The Jews, and all who love Jehovah (Isaiah 66:10), "shall suck, and be borne" by her as a mother.
