‏ Isaiah 66:19

19 I will perform a mighty act among them ^{▼▼tn Heb “and I will set a sign among them.” The precise meaning of this statement is unclear. Elsewhere “to set a sign” means “perform a mighty act” (Ps 78:43; Jer 32:20), “make [someone] an object lesson” (Ezek 14:8), and “erect a [literal] standard” (Ps 74:4).} and then send some of those who remain to the nations—to Tarshish, Pul, ^{▼▼tn Some prefer to read “Put” (i.e., Libya).} Lud ^{▼▼sn That is, Lydia (in Asia Minor).} (known for its archers ^{▼▼tn Heb “drawers of the bow” (KJV and ASV both similar).}), Tubal, Javan, ^{▼▼sn Javan is generally identified today as Greece (so NIV, NCV, NLT).} and to the distant coastlands ^{▼▼tn Or “islands” (NIV).} that have not heard about me or seen my splendor. They will tell the nations of my splendor.
