Context of Isaiah 66:5
3He that slaughtereth an ox, smiteth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [it is as] swine's blood; he that presenteth a memorial of incense, [is as] he that blesseth an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations, 4I also will choose their calamities, and will bring their fears upon them; because I called, and none answered, I spoke, and they did not hear, but did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not. Hear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let Jehovah be glorified, and let us see your joy! but they shall be ashamed. 6A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompence to his enemies! 7Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Hear the word of the Lord - This is an address to the pious and persecuted portion of the nation.
