Isaiah 66:19

19 I will perform a mighty act among them ^{▼▼ 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, ^{▼▼ Some prefer to read “Put” (i.e., Libya).} Lud ^{▼▼ That is, Lydia (in Asia Minor).} (known for its archers ^{▼▼ Heb “drawers of the bow” (KJV and ASV both similar).} ), Tubal, Javan, ^{▼▼ Javan is generally identified today as Greece (so NIV, NCV, NLT).} and to the distant coastlands ^{▼▼ Or “islands” (NIV).} that have not heard about me or seen my splendor. They will tell the nations of my splendor.
