Isaiah 65

1I am inquired of by them that askedH7592 notfor me; I am foundH4672 of them that soughtH1245 me not: I saidH559, Behold me, behold me, unto a nationH1471 that was not calledH7121 by my nameH8034. 2I have spreadH6566 out my handsH3027 all the dayH3117 unto a rebelliousH5637 peopleH5971, that walkH1980 in a wayH1870 that is not goodH2896, after their own thoughtsH4284; 3a peopleH5971 that provokeH3707 me to my faceH6440 continuallyH8548, sacrificingH2076 in gardensH1593, and burning incenseH6999 upon bricksH3843; 4that sitH3427 among the gravesH6913, and lodge in the secretH5341 places; that eatH398 swine’s fleshH1320, and broth of abominable thingsH3627 is in their vesselsH3627; 5that sayH559, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holierH6942 than thou. These are a smokeH6227 in my noseH639, a fireH784 that burneth all the dayH3117. 6Behold, it is writtenH3789 before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosomH2436, 7your own iniquitiesH5771, and the iniquitiesH5771 of your fathersH1 togetherH3162, saith Jehovah, that have burned incenseH6999 upon the mountainsH2022, and blasphemed me upon the hillsH1389: therefore will I firstH7223 measureH4058 their workH6468 into their bosomH2436.

8ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, As the newH8492 wineH8492 is foundH4672 in the clusterH811, and one saith, DestroyH7843 it not, for a blessingH1293 is in it: soH3651 will I do for my servants’H5650 sakeH4616, that I may not destroyH7843 them all. 9And I will bringH3318 forthH3318 a seedH2233 out of JacobH3290, and out of JudahH3063 an inheritor of my mountainsH2022; and my chosen shall inheritH3423 it, and my servantsH5650 shall dwellH7931 there. 10And SharonH8289 shall beH1961 a fold of flocksH6629, and the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 a place for herdsH1241 to lie down in, for my peopleH5971 that have soughtH1875 me. 11But ye that forsakeH5800 Jehovah, that forgetH7911 my holyH6944 mountainH2022, that prepareH6186 a tableH7979 for Fortune, and that fillH4390 up mingled wineH4469 unto Destiny; 12I will destine you to the swordH2719, and ye shall all bowH3766 downH3766 to the slaughterH2874; because whenH834 I calledH7121, ye did not answerH6030; whenH834 I spake, ye did not hearH8085; but ye did that which was evilH7451 in mine eyesH5869, and choseH977 that wherein I delighted not.

13ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah, Behold, my servantsH5650 shall eatH398, but ye shall be hungryH7456; behold, my servantsH5650 shall drinkH8354, but ye shall be thirstyH6770; behold, my servantsH5650 shall rejoiceH8055, but ye shall be putH954 to shameH954; 14behold, my servantsH5650 shall singH7442 for joyH7442 of heartH3820, but ye shall cryH6817 for sorrow of heartH3820, and shall wailH3213 for vexation of spiritH7307. 15And ye shall leave your nameH8034 for a curse unto my chosen; and the LordH136 Jehovah will slay thee; and he will callH7121 his servantsH5650 by another nameH8034: 16so that he who blesseth himself in the earthH776 shall blessH1288 himself in the GodH430 of truth; and he that sweareth in the earthH776 shall swearH7650 by the GodH430 of truth; because the formerH7223 troubles are forgottenH7911, and because they are hidH5641 from mine eyesH5869.

17For, behold, I createH1254 newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776; and the formerH7223 thingsH7223 shall not be rememberedH2142, nor comeH5927 into mind. 18But be ye glad and rejoiceH1523 for everH5703 in that which I createH1254; for, behold, I createH1254 JerusalemH3389 a rejoicing, and her peopleH5971 a joyH4885. 19And I will rejoiceH1523 in JerusalemH3389, and joy in my peopleH5971; and there shall be heardH8085 in her no more the voiceH6963 of weepingH1065 and the voiceH6963 of crying. 20There shall beH1961 no more thence an infant of daysH3117, nor an old manH5288 that hath not filledH4390 his daysH3117; for the child shall dieH4191 a hundredH3967 yearsH8141 old, and the sinnerH2398 being a hundredH3967 yearsH8141 old shall beH1961 accursed. 21And they shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them. 22They shall not buildH1129, and another inhabitH3427; they shall not plantH5193, and another eatH398: for as the daysH3117 of a treeH6086 shall be the daysH3117 of my peopleH5971, and my chosen shall long enjoy the workH4639 of their handsH3027. 23They shall not labor in vain, nor bringH3205 forthH3205 for calamity; for they are the seedH2233 of the blessedH1288 of Jehovah, and their offspringH2233 with them. 24And it shall come to pass that, before they callH7121, I will answerH6030; and while they are yetH5750 speakingH1696, I will hearH8085. 25The wolfH2061 and the lambH2924 shall feed together, and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241; and dustH6083 shall be the serpent’s foodH3899. They shall not hurt nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022, saith Jehovah.
