Context — Rejoice with Jerusalem

12For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her knees. 13As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”

Isaiah 66:14 Summary

[This verse is saying that when we see God's power and love, we will be filled with joy and our lives will be full of purpose, like a field of green grass. As the Bible says in Jeremiah 31:12, God's people will be satisfied and rejoice in the abundance of God's house. We will flourish and grow in our relationship with Him, and we will see His power and presence in our lives, just like the Israelites did in the book of Exodus. However, for those who reject God, His wrath and judgment will be revealed, as seen in Isaiah 66:15-16.]

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 66:14

And when ye see this,.... All the above things prophesied of come to pass; the conversion of the Jews; the peaceable and prosperous condition of the church of Christ; and perceive, feel, and enjoy

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 66:14

And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 66:14

The peace and tranquillity of the church, and the propagation of the kingdom of Christ, is always the cause of a heart-rejoicing to such as fear God, ; the reason is, because it is the greatest object of their desires, which are then satisfied, and their thoughts are then at rest; and besides they are members of the same body, so as their own bones, which before are dry and withered, ,2, and the sinews, and the flesh, come again upon them, and the skin covers them above, so as they flourish like an herb in the spring, all whose verdure and beauty in the winter was concealed in the root hid in the earth. And the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants; and in this the power, protection, and influence of God for, of, and upon such as truly serve and obey him shall be made manifest and known. And his indignation toward his enemies; but the wicked shall be under a quite contrary dispensation, . As they have had a day which hath been to you the power of darkness, so you shall have a day which shall be to them the power of darkness; as God’ s hand shall be upon and towards such as fear me, to cover, and bless, and influence them, so his indignation shall in that day be showed towards those of your nation who have declared themselves the enemies of the Lord.

Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 66:14

Isaiah 66:14 And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and [his] indignation toward his enemies.Ver. 14. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice.] Videbitis, gaudebitis; you shall see that I do not give you good words only, but that I am in good earnest; ye shall know it within yourselves, in the workings of your own hearts. And your bones shall flourish like an herb,] i.e., They shall be filled again with moisture and marrow. See Ezekiel 37:10-11. You shall be fair liking and reflourish. And the hand of the Lord,] i.e., His infinite power; tantorum beneficiorum in piis operatrix, the efficient cause of all these comforts.

Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 66:14

(14) Your bones shall flourish . . .—“Heart” and “bones” stand respectively as symbols of the inner and outer life. The “bones,” the branches, so to speak, of the body, which had been dry and sere, should revive as with the sap of a new life, and be as the succulent herbage. His “hand,” i.e., His manifested power, will show itself in love to His people, in indignation to their enemies.

Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 66:14

14. R.V. And ye shall see (it) and your heart &c.; recalling ch. Isaiah 60:5. your bones shall flourish like the tender grass (R.V.)] i.e. shall be fresh and full of sap (cf. Job 21:24; Proverbs 15:30). So when the strength is exhausted by sickness, the bones are said to be consumed or burn (Psalms 31:10; Psalms 32:3; Psalms 102:3; Lamentations 1:13). and his indignation] Strictly: and he will have indignation (as R.V.). A.V. would be a better construction if we might supply the suffix for “his” (so Duhm).
