Isaiah 66:12-16

New International Reader's Version

“I will cause peace to flow over her like a river.
    I will make the wealth of nations sweep over her like a flooding stream.
You will nurse and be carried in her arms.
    You will play on her lap.
¹³ As a mother comforts her child,
    I will comfort you.
    You will find comfort in Jerusalem.”

¹⁴ When you see that happen, your hearts will be filled with joy.
    Just as grass grows quickly, you will succeed.
The Lord will show his power to those who serve him.
    But he will pour out his anger on his enemies.
¹⁵ The Lord will judge them with fire.
    His chariots are coming like a windstorm.
He will pour out his burning anger on his enemies.
    It will blaze out like flames of fire.
¹⁶ The Lord will judge with fire and with his sword.
    He will judge all people.
    He will put many people to death.
