According to Isa.66:10&11 we are told "you will suck and certainly get satisfaction". What does this mean??
YOU WILL SUCK

Knowing the prudish-ness of ancient Hebrews, it was probably metaphoric as opposed to euphoric.

In a previous thread myself and Naeb brought out these scriptures that may clarify the issue further:
Acts 20:35
bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said, 'There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.'Psalm 78:71
From following the females giving suck
He brought him in to be a shepherd over Jacob his people
And over Israel his inheritance.Matthew 15:11
What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.'"Edited by - matty on 6 July 2002 13:40:50

I think it's a spin on 'there is more happiness in giving, then there is in receiving'

The NIV Study Bible connects Isa. 66:11 w/ 60:16 and comments: "In 60:16 ... Jerusalem was drinking the milk of nations. Here she is the mother..." The Oxford Annotated Bible footnotes: "Restored 'Mother' Jerusalem can provide abundantly for all..." The New Jerusalem Bible cross-references to John 16:20-22, where Jesus predicts essentially the same reversal of fortunes for his disciples.
This is a typical "restoration" prophecy. Depending on your viewpoint, could be interpreted to mean the actual return of literal Israel to an elevated status in the world, or (as SixofNine said) could be taken metaphorically.
BTW: 6/9, how is 7/9 doing these days? :)
