Isaiah 66:14-16

66:14 When you see this, you will be happy,

and you will be revived.

The Lord will reveal his power to his servants

and his anger to his enemies.

66:15 For look, the Lord comes with fire,

his chariots come like a windstorm,

to reveal his raging anger,

his battle cry, and his flaming arrows.

66:16 For the Lord judges all humanity

with fire and his sword;

the Lord will kill many.
