Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 66:6

_ _ God, from Jerusalem and His “temple,” shall take vengeance on the enemy (Ezekiel 43:1-8; Zechariah 12:2, Zechariah 12:3; Zechariah 14:3, Zechariah 14:19-21). The abrupt language of this verse marks the suddenness with which God destroys the hostile Gentile host outside: as Isaiah 66:5 refers to the confounding of the unbelieving Jews.

_ _ voice of noise — that is, the Lord’s loud-sounding voice (Psalms 68:33; Psalms 29:3-9; 1 Thessalonians 4:16).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 66:5-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 66:6

A voice — The expression of a prophetical extasy, as if he said, I hear a sad and affrighting noise; it comes not from the city only, but from the temple, wherein these formalists have so much gloried. There is a noise of soldiers slaying, and of the poor people shrieking or crying out. Of the Lord — A voice of the Lord, not in thunder, but that rendereth recompence to his enemies. Thus he seems to express the destruction of the Jews by the Roman armies, as a thing at that time doing.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 66:6

(g) A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

(g) The enemies will shortly hear a more terrible voice, even fire and slaughter, seeing they would not hear the gentle voice of the prophets, who called them to repentance.
