13As a mother comforts her child, so I''ll comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem."e
14You''ll see all this and burst with joy -you''ll feel ten feet tall--As it becomes apparent that GOD is on your side and against his enemies.
Isaiah 66 closes the book with a stunning courtroom scene. Heaven is God's throne, earth his footstool — no temple can contain him. Yet he looks with favor on the humble and contrite. The chapter pivots sharply: God rejects empty worship while promising restoration for Jerusalem.
