Isaiah 66:6

Description of the sudden outbreak of Jehovah's destructive might from His city and sanctuary (cf. Amos 1:2; Joel 3:16; ch. Isaiah 33:14). A noise of uproar from the city! A noise from the temple! The noise of Jehovah rendering recompence (see on Isaiah 59:18) to His enemies! (those referred to in Isaiah 66:5). That these words presuppose the existence of the Temple is certainly the most natural interpretation. The thought of the verse is resumed in Isaiah 66:15; the verses immediately following pass abruptly to a different subject.
