Isaiah66:6
6 A voice of noise from the city , a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendreth recompence to his Enemies .
The expression of a Prophetical extasy, as much as methinks I already hear a voice of noise, rather a sad and affrighting noise, then the noise of Triumphers (as some think) yea, it comes not from the City only, but from the Temple, wherein these formalists have so much gloried, and reposed so much confidence, there is a noise of Soldiers slaying, and of the Priests or poor people fled thither, shrieking or crying out.
A voice of the Lord, not in thunder, which is sometimes called so, Psal. 29. 3, 4, 5, &c. but that rendreth recompence to his enemies. Thus, the noise of Soldiers, the roaring of Guns, the sounds of Drums and Trumpets are the Voice of the Lord. Thus the Prophet seemeth to express the destruction of the Jews by the Roman Armies, as if a thing at that time doing.
