Isaiah 66:10-16
Contemporary English Version
10 If you love Jerusalem,
celebrate and shout!
If you were in sorrow
because of the city,
you can now be glad.
11 She will nurse and comfort you,
just like your own mother,
until you are satisfied.
You will fully enjoy
her wonderful glory.
12 The Lord has promised:
“I will flood Jerusalem
with the wealth of nations
and make the city prosper.
Zion will nurse you at her breast,
carry you in her arms,
and hold you in her lap.
13 I will comfort you there
like a mother
comforting her child.”
14 When you see this happen,
you will celebrate;
your strength will return
faster than grass can sprout.
Then everyone will know
that the Lord provides help
for his servants,
but he is angry
with his enemies.
15 The Lord will come down
like a whirlwind
with his flaming chariots.
He will be furiously angry
and punish his enemies
with fire.
16 The Lord's fiery sword
will bring justice
everywhere on this earth
and execute many people.
Isaiah 66:10-16
New International Version
10 “Rejoice(A) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
all you who love(B) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn(C) over her.
11 For you will nurse(D) and be satisfied
at her comforting breasts;(E)
you will drink deeply
and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(F)
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“I will extend peace(G) to her like a river,(H)
and the wealth(I) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(J) on her arm
and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(K)
so will I comfort(L) you;
and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(M)
and you will flourish(N) like grass;
the hand(O) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(P)
but his fury(Q) will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(R)
and his chariots(S) are like a whirlwind;(T)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
and his rebuke(U) with flames of fire.
16 For with fire(V) and with his sword(W)
the Lord will execute judgment(X) on all people,
and many will be those slain(Y) by the Lord.
