Isaiah 66:7-23

7“BeforeH2962 she was in laborH2342, she gave birthH3205; beforeH2962H935 she was in painH2256, she deliveredH4422 a boyH2145.8WhoH4310 has heardH8085 of such as thisH2063? WhoH4310 has seenH7200 such thingsH428? Can a countryH776 be bornH2342 in aH259 dayH3117 orH518 a nationH1471 be deliveredH3205 in an instantH6471H259? YetH3588 as soon as ZionH6726 was in laborH2342H1571, she gave birth toH3205 her childrenH1121.9Shall IH589 bring a baby to the point of birthH7665 and notH3808 deliver itH3205?” saysH559 the LORDH3068. “OrH518 will IH589 who deliverH3205 close the wombH6113?” saysH559 your GodH430.

10Be gladH8055 forH854 JerusalemH3389 and rejoiceH1523 over her,allH3605 who love herH157.Rejoice greatlyH7797H4885 with herH854,allH3605 who mournH56 over herH5921,11so thatH4616 you may nurseH3243 and be satisfiedH7646at her comfortingH8575H4616 breastsH7699;you may drink deeplyH4711 and delight yourselvesH6026in her gloriousH3519 abundanceH2123.

12ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068H2005 saysH559:

“I will extendH5186 peaceH7965 to herH413 like a riverH5104,and the wealthH3519 of nationsH1471 like a flowingH7857 streamH5158;you will nurseH3243 and be carriedH5375 onH5921 her armH6654,and bouncedH8173 uponH5921 her kneesH1290.13As a motherH517 comforts her sonH5162,soH3651 will I comfort youH595H5162,and you will be consoledH5162 over JerusalemH3389.”
14When you seeH7200, youH3820 will rejoiceH7797,and youH6106 will flourishH6524 like grassH1877;then the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 will be revealedH3045 toH854 His servantsH5650,but His wrath will be shownH2194 to His enemiesH341.
15ForH3588 beholdH2009, the LORDH3068 will comeH935 with fireH784—His chariotsH4818 are like a whirlwindH5492—to executeH7725 His angerH639 with furyH2534and His rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784.16ForH3588 by fireH784 and by His swordH2719,the LORDH3068 will execute judgmentH8199 onH854 allH3605 fleshH1320,and manyH7231 will be slainH2491 by the LORDH3068.

17“Those who consecrateH6942 and purify themselvesH2891 toH413 enter the grovesH1593—to followH310 oneH259 in the centerH8432 of those who eatH398 the fleshH1320 of swineH2386 and verminH8263 and ratsH5909—will perishH5486 togetherH3162,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

18“And IH595, knowing their deedsH4639 and thoughtsH4284, am comingH9351 to gatherH6908 allH3605 nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956, and they will comeH935 and seeH7200 My gloryH3519.

19I will establishH7760 a signH226 among them, and I will sendH7971 survivorsH6412 from among them toH413 the nationsH1471—to TarshishH8659, PutH6322, and the archersH4900H7198 of LudH3865; to TubalH8422, JavanH3120, and the islandsH3392 far awayH7350 whoH834 have notH3808 heardH8085 of My fameH8088H3808 or seenH7200 My gloryH3519.

So they will proclaimH5046 My gloryH3519 among the nationsH1471. 20And they will bringH935 allH3605 your brothersH251 from allH3605 the nationsH1471 as a giftH4503 to the LORDH3068 on horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 and wagonsH6632, on mulesH6505 and camelsH3753, toH5921 My holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389,” saysH559 the LORDH3068, “just asH834 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 bringH935 an offeringH4503 in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.”

21“And I willH1571 selectH3947 some of them as priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881,” saysH559 the LORDH3068.

22“ForH3588 just asH834 the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776,3whichH834 IH589 will makeH6213, will endureH5975 before MeH6440,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,“soH3651 your descendantsH2233 and your nameH8034 will endureH5975.23FromH1767 one New MoonH2320 to anotherH2320and fromH1767 one SabbathH7676 to anotherH7676,allH3605 mankindH1320 will comeH935 to worshipH7812 before MeH6440,”saysH559 the LORDH3068.
