And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
When you see this happen, your heart will be filled with joy, and your whole body will be renewed and strong like fresh, growing plants. The Lord's favor and blessing will be clearly shown to those who serve him, but his anger will be directed toward his enemies.
God is promising that his people will experience deep joy and complete renewal when they witness his faithful care for them and his judgment of those who oppose him.
