Isaiah 65:14 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 65:14

Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart
The songs of electing, redeeming, and calling grace, with which they come to Zion now, and will hereafter; having their hearts filled with joy unutterable, and full of glory, under a sense of the great things which God has done for them: but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of
spirit;
under the sore judgments of God upon them, the sword and famine; more especially during the siege of Jerusalem, and when wrath came upon them to the uttermost, in the destruction of their city, temple, and nation, and they fell into the hands of the Romans, who carried them captive, and dispersed them in various places; and as the wicked will in hell to all eternity, where is nothing but weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

Isaiah 65:14 In-Context

12 numerabo vos in gladio et omnes in caede corruetis pro eo quod vocavi et non respondistis locutus sum et non audistis et faciebatis malum in oculis meis et quae nolui elegistis
13 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce servi mei comedent et vos esurietis ecce servi mei bibent et vos sitietis
14 ecce servi mei laetabuntur et vos confundemini ecce servi mei laudabunt prae exultatione cordis et vos clamabitis prae dolore cordis et prae contritione spiritus ululabitis
15 et dimittetis nomen vestrum in iuramentum electis meis et interficiet te Dominus Deus et servos suos vocabit nomine alio
16 in quo qui benedictus est super terram benedicetur in Deo amen et qui iurat in terra iurabit in Deo amen quia oblivioni traditae sunt angustiae priores et quia absconditae sunt ab oculis nostris
