Isaiah 66:7-23

7“Before she was in labor, 1she delivered; Before her pain came, 2she gave birth to a boy.83Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be 4born in one day? Can a nation be given birth all at once? As soon as Zion was in labor, she also delivered her sons.9Shall I bring to the point of birth but 5not give delivery?” says the Lord. “Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?” says your God.10“Be 6joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who 7love her; Be exceedingly 8glad with her, all you who mourn over her,11So that you may nurse and 9be satisfied with her comforting breasts, So that you may drink fully and be delighted with her 10bountiful breasts.”12For this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I extend 11peace to her like a river, And the 12glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; And you will 13be nursed, you will be 14carried on the 15hip and rocked back and forth on the knees.13As one whom his mother comforts, so I will 16comfort you; And you will be comforted in Jerusalem.”14Then you will 17see this, and your 18heart will be glad, And your 19bones will flourish like the new grass; And the 20hand of the Lord will be made known to His servants, But He will be 21indignant toward His enemies.15For behold, the Lord will come in 22fire, And His 23chariots like the whirlwind, To render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire.16For the Lord will execute judgment by 24fire And by His 25sword on 26humanity, And those put to death by the Lord will be many.17“Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the 27gardens, 28Following one in the center, Who eat 29pig’s flesh, detestable things, and mice, Will 30come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.

18“For I 31know their works and their 32thoughts; 33the time is coming to 34gather all the nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory. 19And I will put a 35sign among them and send survivors from them to the nations: 36Tarshish, 37Put, 38Lud, 39Meshech, 40Tubal, and 41Javan, to the distant 42coastlands that have neither heard of My fame nor seen My glory. And they will 43declare My glory among the nations. 20Then they shall 44bring all your countrymen from all the nations as a grain offering to the Lord, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to My 45holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a 46clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21I will also take some of them as 47priests and Levites,” says the Lord.22“For just as the 48new heavens and the new earth, Which I make, will endure before Me,” declares the Lord, “So will your 49descendants and your 50name endure.23And it shall be from 51new moon to new moon And from Sabbath to Sabbath, All 52mankind will come to 53bow down before Me,” says the Lord.
