Context — The Promise of Joy and Judgmentgenerated

13As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
14When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.
15For behold, the LORD will come with fire— His chariots are like a whirlwind— to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.
16For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.

Isaiah 66:14 speaks to the people of Israel, assuring them of joy and flourishing when they witness God's actions. This verse contrasts the blessings for God's servants with the wrath reserved for His enemies, highlighting the duality of God's nature as both a provider and a judge. The surrounding verses emphasize God's comfort and the impending judgment that will come with His presence, as seen in the preceding and following verses.

The Key Word וּרְאִיתֶם֙, u.re.'i.Temgenerated

The verb רָאָה (ra'ah) means 'to see' and encompasses a range of visual actions, from literal sight to figurative understanding. In this context, it suggests a deeper perception of God's work among His people.

The parsing as a sequential perfect indicates a completed action with ongoing implications, suggesting that the act of seeing will lead to a joyful response. This highlights the transformative power of witnessing God's deeds.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered consistently across translations, emphasizing the joy and flourishing that comes from seeing God's work.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The structure of the verse is built around several verbs that convey actions: וּרְאִיתֶם֙, וְשָׂ֣שׂ, תִפְרַ֑חְנָה, נוֹדְעָ֤ה, and זָעַ֖ם. The main focus is on the actions of seeing, rejoicing, flourishing, and the contrasting revelation of God's hand.

The verbs are linked in a way that emphasizes the sequence of actions and their outcomes, showing how witnessing God's work leads to joy and flourishing for His people, while also highlighting the consequences for His enemies.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וּרְאִיתֶם֙ as ὄψεσθε (opsethe), which carries the same meaning of 'you will see.' This choice maintains the focus on perception and understanding.

The use of γνωσθήσεται for נוֹדְעָ֤ה indicates a similar emphasis on knowledge and recognition, reinforcing the idea that God's actions will be made known to His servants.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
