Isaiah 66:13-16
The Message
12-13 God’s Message:
“I’ll pour robust well-being into her like a river,
the glory of nations like a river in flood.
You’ll nurse at her breasts,
nestle in her bosom,
and be bounced on her knees.
As a mother comforts her child,
so I’ll comfort you.
You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
14-16 You’ll see all this and burst with joy
—you’ll feel ten feet tall—
As it becomes apparent that God is on your side
and against his enemies.
For God arrives like wildfire
and his chariots like a tornado,
A furious outburst of anger,
a rebuke fierce and fiery.
For it’s by fire that God brings judgment,
a death sentence on the human race.
Many, oh so many,
are under God’s sentence of death:
Isaiah 66:13-15
New International Version
13 As a mother comforts her child,(A)
so will I comfort(B) you;
and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(C)
and you will flourish(D) like grass;
the hand(E) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(F)
but his fury(G) will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(H)
and his chariots(I) are like a whirlwind;(J)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
and his rebuke(K) with flames of fire.
