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. 15. For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16. For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

Commentary on Isaiah 66:14

Theological / Devotional

Shall rejoice. Doubtless a reference to the taunt of the mockers referred to in ch. 65:5.

Bones shall flourish. In times of trouble bones are described as being “consumed” (Ps. 31:10; cf. Lam. 1:13), or in sickness as “burned with heat” (Job 30:30).

Toward his servants. The same contrast is expressed as in v. 5 (see comments there).
