Isaiah 66:7-23
7“BeforeH2962 she travailedH2342, 1she broughtH3205 forthH3205; BeforeH2962 her painH2256 cameH935, 2she gaveH4422 birthH4422 to a boyH2145.83WhoH4310 has heardH8085 suchH2088 a thingH2088? WhoH4310 has seenH7200 suchH428 things? Can a landH776 be 4bornH2342 in oneH259 dayH3117? Can a nationH1471 be broughtH3205 forthH3205 allH6471 at onceH259H6471? As soonH3588 as ZionH6726 travailedH2342, she alsoH1571 broughtH3205 forthH3205 her sonsH1121.9Shall I bringH7665 to the pointH7665 of birthH7665 and 5not giveH3205 deliveryH3205?” saysH559 the LordH3068. “OrH518 shall I who givesH3205 deliveryH3205 shutH6113 the womb?” saysH559 your GodH430.10“Be 6joyfulH8055 with JerusalemH3389 and rejoiceH1523 for her, allH3605 you who 7loveH157 her; Be exceedinglyH4885 8gladH7797 with her, allH3605 you who mournH56 overH5921 her,11That you may nurseH3243 and 9be satisfiedH7646 with her comfortingH8575 breastsH7699, That you may suckH4711 and be delightedH6026 with her 10bountifulH2123 bosomH3519.”12For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, I extendH5186 11peaceH7965 to her like a riverH5104, And the 12gloryH3519 of the nationsH1471 like an overflowingH7857 streamH5158; And you will 13be nursedH3243, you will be 14carriedH5375 on the 15hipH6654 and fondledH8173 on the kneesH1290.13As oneH376 whomH834 his motherH517 comfortsH5162, soH3651 I will 16comfortH5162 you; And you will be comfortedH5162 in JerusalemH3389.”14Then you will 17seeH7200 this, and your 18heartH3820 will be gladH7797, And your 19bonesH6106 will flourishH6524 like the newH1877 grassH1877; And the 20handH3027 of the LordH3068 will be madeH3045 knownH3045 to His servantsH5650, But He will be 21indignantH2194 towardH854 His enemiesH340.15For beholdH2009, the LordH3068 will comeH935 in 22fireH784 And His 23chariotsH4818 like the whirlwindH5492, To renderH7725 His angerH639 with furyH2534, And His rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784.16For the LordH3068 will executeH8199 judgmentH8199 by 24fireH784 And by His 25swordH2719 on allH3605 fleshH1320, And those slainH2491 by the LordH3068 will be manyH7231.17“Those who sanctifyH6942 and purifyH2891 themselves to go to the 26gardensH1593, 27FollowingH310 oneH259 in the centerH8432, Who eatH398 28swine’sH2386 fleshH1320, detestableH8263 thingsH8263 and miceH5909, Will 29comeH5486 to an endH5486 altogetherH3164,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
18“For I 30know their worksH4639 and their 31thoughtsH4284; 32the time is comingH935 to 33gatherH6908 allH3605 nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956. And they shall comeH935 and seeH7200 My gloryH3519. 19I will setH7760 a 34signH226 among them and will sendH7971 survivorsH6412 from them to the nationsH1471: 35TarshishH8659, 36PutH6316, 37LudH3865, 38MeshechH4902, 39TubalH8422 and 40JavanH3120, to the distantH7350 41coastlandsH339 that have neitherH3808 heardH8085 My fameH8088 norH3808 seenH7200 My gloryH3519. And they will 42declareH5046 My gloryH3519 among the nationsH1471. 20Then they shall 43bringH935 allH3605 your brethrenH251 from allH3605 the nationsH1471 as a grain offeringH4503 to the LordH3068, on horsesH5483, in chariotsH7393, in littersH6632, on mulesH6505 and on camelsH3753, to My 44holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389,” saysH559 the LordH3068, “justH3512 as the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 their grain offeringH4503 in a 45cleanH2889 vesselH3627 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 21I will alsoH1571 takeH3947 someH4480 of them for 46priestsH3548 and for LevitesH3881,” saysH559 the LordH3068.22“For justH3512 as the 47newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776 WhichH834 I makeH6213 will endureH5975 beforeH6440 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “SoH3651 your 48offspringH2233 and your 49nameH8034 will endureH5975.23And it shall be from 50newH2320 moonH2320 to newH2320 moonH2320 And from sabbathH7676 to sabbathH7676, AllH3605 51mankindH1320 will comeH935 to 52bowH7812 downH7812 beforeH6440 Me,” saysH559 the LordH3068.
