6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
6 Hear that uproar from the city, hear that noise from the temple! It is the sound of the Lordrepaying his enemies all they deserve.
6 "The sound of an uproar from the city! A sound from the temple! The sound of the Lord, rendering recompense to his enemies!
6 Rumbles of thunder from the city! A voice out of the Temple! God's voice, handing out judgment to his enemies:
6 The sound of noise from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord, Who fully repays His enemies!
6 What is all the commotion in the city? What is that terrible noise from the Temple? It is the voice of the Lord taking vengeance against his enemies.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 66:6
Commentary on Isaiah 66:5-14
(Read Isaiah 66:5-14)
The prophet turns to those that trembled at God's word, to comfort and encourage them. The Lord will appear, to the joy of the humble believer, and to the confusion of hypocrites and persecutors. When the Spirit was poured out, and the gospel went forth from Zion, multitudes were converted in a little time. The word of God, especially his promises, and ordinances, are the consolations of the church. The true happiness of all Christians is increased by every convert brought to Christ. The gospel brings with it, wherever it is received in its power, such a river of peace, as will carry us to the ocean of boundless and endless bliss. Divine comforts reach the inward man; the joy of the Lord will be the strength of the believer. Both God's mercy and justice shall be manifested, and for ever magnified.
