Context of Isaiah 66:14

12For thus saith Yhwh, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. 13As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of Yhwh shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies. 15For, behold, Yhwh will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16For by fire and by his sword will Yhwh plead with all flesh: and the slain of Yhwh shall be many.
