Isaiah 65:1-16

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.
