Isaiah 65:6-25
6BeholdH2009, it is writtenH3789 beforeH6440 Me, I will 1not keepH2814 silentH2814, but 2I will repayH7999; I will even repayH7999 into their bosomH2436,7Both 3their own 4iniquitiesH5771 and the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1 togetherH3164,” saysH559 the LordH3068. “BecauseH834 they have 5burnedH6999 incenseH6999 on the mountainsH2022 And 6scornedH2778 Me on the hillsH1389, Therefore I will 7measureH4058 their formerH7223 workH6468 into their bosomH2436.”
8ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “As the newH8492 wineH8492 is foundH4672 in the clusterH811, And one saysH559, ‘Do not destroyH7843 it, for there is 8benefitH1293 in it,’ SoH3651 I will actH6213 on behalfH4616 of My servantsH5650 In order 9not to destroyH7843 10allH3605 of them.9I will bringH3318 forthH3318 11offspringH2233 from JacobH3290, And an 12heirH3423 of My mountainsH2022 from JudahH3063; Even 13My chosenH972 onesH972 shall inheritH3423 it, And 14My servantsH5650 will dwellH7931 thereH8033.1015SharonH8289 will be a pastureH5116 landH5116 for flocksH6629, And the 16valleyH6010 of AchorH5911 a restingH7258 placeH7258 for herdsH1241, For My peopleH5971 whoH834 17seekH1875 Me.11But you who 18forsakeH5800 the LordH3068, WhoH7913 forgetH7913 My 19holyH6944 mountainH2022, WhoH7913 setH6186 a tableH7979 for 20FortuneH1409, And who fillH4390 cups with mixedH4469 wineH4469 for 21DestinyH4507,12I will destineH4487 you for the 22swordH2719, And allH3605 of you will bowH3766 downH3766 to the 23slaughterH2874. BecauseH3282 I calledH7121, but you 24did not answerH6030; I spokeH1696, but you did not hearH8085. And you didH6213 evilH7451 in My sightH5869 And choseH977 that in whichH834 I did not delightH2654.”
13ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 25GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, My servantsH5650 will 26eatH398, but you will be 27hungryH7456. BeholdH2009, My servantsH5650 will 28drinkH8354, but you will be 29thirstyH6770. BeholdH2009, My servantsH5650 will 30rejoiceH8055, but you will be 31putH954 to shameH954.14BeholdH2009, My servantsH5650 will 32shoutH7442 joyfullyH7442 with a gladH2898 heartH3820, But you will 33cryH6817 out with a 34heavyH3511 heartH3820, And you will wailH3213 with a brokenH7665 spiritH7307.15You will leaveH5117 your nameH8034 for a 35curseH7621 to My chosenH972 onesH972, And the LordH136 36GodH3068 will slayH4191 you. But 37My servantsH5650 will be calledH7121 by 38anotherH312 nameH8034.16BecauseH834 he who 39is blessedH1288 in the earthH776 Will 40be blessedH1288 by the 41GodH430 of truthH543; And he who swearsH7650 in the earthH776 Will 42swearH7650 by the GodH430 of truthH543; BecauseH3588 the formerH7223 troublesH6869 are forgottenH7911, And becauseH3588 they are hiddenH5641 from My sightH5869!
17“For beholdH2009, I createH1254 43newH2319 heavensH8064 and a newH2319 earthH776; And the 44formerH7223 thingsH7223 will not be rememberedH2142 or comeH5927 to 45mindH3820.18But be 46gladH7797 and rejoiceH1523 foreverH5703 in whatH834 I createH1254; For beholdH2009, I createH1254 JerusalemH3389 for rejoicingH1525 And her peopleH5971 for gladnessH4885.19I will also 47rejoiceH1523 in JerusalemH3389 and be gladH7797 in My peopleH5971; And there will noH3808 longerH5750 be heardH8085 in her The voiceH6963 of 48weepingH1065 and the soundH6963 of cryingH2201.20NoH3808 longerH5750 will there be 49in it an infantH5764 who lives but a few daysH3117, Or an oldH2205 manH2205 whoH834 does 50not 51liveH4390 out his daysH3117; For the youthH5288 will dieH4191 at the ageH1121 of one hundredH3967 And the 5253one who does not reachH2398 the ageH1121 of one hundredH3967 Will be thought accursedH7043.21They will 54buildH1129 housesH1004 and inhabitH3427 them; They will also 55plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 and eatH398 their fruitH6529.22They will not buildH1129 and 56anotherH312 inhabitH3427, They will not plantH5193 and anotherH312 eatH398; For 57as the 58lifetimeH3117 of a treeH6086, so will be the daysH3117 of My peopleH5971, And My chosenH972 onesH972 will 59wearH1086 out the workH4639 of their handsH3027.23They will 60not laborH3021 in vainH7385, Or bearH3205 children for calamityH928; For they are the 6162offspringH2233 of those blessedH1288 by the LordH3068, And their descendantsH6631 with them. 24It will also comeH1961 to passH1961 that beforeH2962 they callH7121, I will 63answerH6030; and while they are stillH5750 speakingH1696, I will hearH8085. 25The 64wolfH2061 and the lambH2924 will grazeH7462 togetherH259, and the 65lionH743 will eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241; and 66dustH6083 will be the serpent’sH5175 foodH3899. They will 67doH7489 noH3808 evilH7489 or harmH7843 in allH3605 My 68holyH6944 mountainH2022,” saysH559 the LordH3068.
