Isaiah 66:7-23

7“BeforeH2962 she wasH2342 inH2342 laborH2342, 1she deliveredH3205; 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 givenH3205 birthH3205 allH6471 atH6471 onceH259H6471? AsH3588 soonH3588 asH3588 ZionH6726 wasH2342 inH2342 laborH2342, she alsoH1571 deliveredH3205 her sonsH1121.9Shall I bringH7665 toH7665 theH7665 pointH7665 ofH7665 birthH7665 but 5not giveH3205 deliveryH3205?” saysH559 the LordH3068. “OrH518 shall I who givesH3205 deliveryH3205 shutH6113 the womb?” saysH559 your GodH430.10“BeH8055 6joyfulH8055 with JerusalemH3389 and rejoiceH1523 for her, allH3605 you who 7loveH157 her; Be exceedinglyH4885 8gladH7797 with her, allH3605 you who mournH56 overH5921 her,11SoH4616 thatH4616 you may nurseH3243 and 9beH7646 satisfiedH7646 with her comfortingH8575 breastsH7699, SoH4616 thatH4616 you may drinkH4711 fullyH4711 and be delightedH6026 with her 10bountifulH3519 breastsH2123.”12For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “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 rockedH8173 backH8173 andH8173 forthH8173 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 beH2194 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 26humanityH1320, And those putH2491 toH2491 deathH2491 by the LordH3068 will beH7231 manyH7231.17“Those who sanctifyH6942 and purifyH2891 themselves to go to the 27gardensH1593, 28FollowingH310 oneH259 in the centerH8432, Who eatH398 29pig’sH2386 fleshH1320, detestableH8263 thingsH8263, and miceH5909, Will 30comeH5486 toH5486 anH5486 endH5486 altogetherH3164,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

18“For I 31know their worksH4639 and their 32thoughtsH4284; 33the time is comingH935 to 34gatherH6908 allH3605 the nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956. And they shall comeH935 and seeH7200 My gloryH3519. 19And I will putH7760 a 35signH226 among them and sendH7971 survivorsH6412 from them to the nationsH1471: 36TarshishH8659, 37PutH6316, 38LudH3865, 39MeshechH4902, 40TubalH8422, and 41JavanH3120, to the distantH7350 42coastlandsH339 that have neitherH3808 heardH8085 of My fameH8088 norH3808 seenH7200 My gloryH3519. And they will 43declareH5046 My gloryH3519 among the nationsH1471. 20Then they shall 44bringH935 allH3605 your countrymenH251 from allH3605 the nationsH1471 as a grain offeringH4503 to the LordH3068, on horsesH5483, in chariotsH7393, in littersH6632, on mulesH6505, and on camelsH3753, to My 45holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389,” saysH559 the LordH3068, “justH3512 asH3512 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 their grain offeringH4503 in a 46cleanH2889 vesselH3627 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 21I will alsoH1571 takeH3947 someH4480 of them as 47priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881,” saysH559 the LordH3068.22“For justH3512 asH3512 the 48newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, WhichH834 I makeH6213, will endureH5975 beforeH6440 Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “SoH3651 will your 49descendantsH2233 and your 50nameH8034 endureH5975.23And it shall be from 51newH2320 moonH2320 to newH2320 moonH2320 And from SabbathH7676 to SabbathH7676, AllH3605 52mankindH1320 will comeH935 to 53bowH2331 downH2331 beforeH6440 Me,” saysH559 the LordH3068.
