Isaiah 66
Revised Version 1895
1ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068; The heavenH8064 is my throneH3678, and the earthH776 is my footstool: whatH834 manner of houseH1004 will ye buildH1129 unto meH1004? and whatH834 placeH4725 shall be my restH4496? 2For allH3605 theseH428 things hath mine handH3027 madeH6213, and soH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things cameH1961 to be, saith the LORDH3068: but to this manH3605 will I lookH5027, evenH853 to him that is poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spiritH7307, and that trembleth at my wordH1697. 3He that killeth an oxH7794 is as he that slayeth a manH376; he that sacrificeth a lambH7716, as he that breaketh a dog’sH3611 neckH6202; he that offereth an oblation, as he that offereth swine’sH2386 bloodH1818; he that burneth frankincenseH3828, as he that blesseth an idolH8251: yea, they have chosenH977 their ownH376 waysH1870, and their soulH5315 delighteth in their abominationsH8251; 4I also will chooseH977 their delusions, and will bringH935 their fears uponH935 them; becauseH3282 when I calledH7121, noneH369 didH6213 answerH6030; when I spake, they didH6213 notH3808 hearH8085: but they didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in mine eyesH5869, and choseH977 that whereinH834 I delighted notH3808. 5HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye that tremble at his wordH1697: Your brethrenH251 that hateH8130 youH7200, that cast youH7200 outH413 for my name’sH8034 sakeH4616, have saidH559, Let the LORDH3068 be glorifiedH3513, that weH8085 may seeH7200 your joyH8057; but they shall be ashamedH954. 6A voiceH6963 of tumultH7588 from the cityH5892, a voiceH6963 from the templeH1964, a voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 that rendereth recompence to his enemiesH341. 7BeforeH2962 sheH2962 travailed, sheH2962 broughtH935 forthH3205; beforeH2962 herH935 pain cameH935, sheH2962 was deliveredH4422 of a manH2145 childH3205. 8Who hath heardH8085 suchH428 a thingH259? who hath seenH7200 suchH428 things? Shall a landH776 be bornH3205 in one dayH3117? shall a nationH1471 be broughtH3205 forthH3205 at onceH259? for as soonH3205 as ZionH6726 travailed, sheH3588 broughtH3205 forthH3205 herH518 childrenH1121. 9Shall I bringH3205 to the birthH3205, and notH3808 cause to bringH3205 forthH3205? saith the LORDH3068: shall I that cause to bringH3205 forthH3205 shutH6113 the womb? saith thy GodH430. 10RejoiceH8055 ye with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH8055 for herH3605, allH3605 ye that loveH157 herH3605: rejoiceH8055 for joyH4885 with herH3605, allH3605 ye that mournH56 over herH3605: 11that ye may suckH3243 and be satisfiedH7646 with the breastsH7699 of herH3243 consolationsH8575; that ye may milk outH3243, and be delightedH6026 with the abundanceH7646 of herH3243 gloryH3519. 12For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2005, I will extendH5186 peaceH7965 to herH413 like a riverH5104, and the gloryH3519 of the nationsH1471 like an overflowingH7857 streamH5158, and ye shall suckH3243 thereof; ye shall be borneH5375 uponH5921 the sideH6654, and shall be dandled uponH5921 the kneesH1290. 13As one whomH834 his motherH517 comforteth, soH3651 will I comfortH5162 youH834; and ye shall be comfortedH5162 in JerusalemH3389. 14And ye shall seeH7200 it, and your heartH3820 shall rejoiceH7797, and your bonesH6106 shall flourish like the tenderH1877 grassH1877: and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 shall be knownH3045 towardH854 his servantsH5650, and he will have indignationH2194 againstH854 his enemiesH341. 15For, beholdH2009, the LORDH3068 will comeH935 with fireH784, and his chariotsH4818 shall be like the whirlwind; to renderH7725 his angerH639 with furyH2534, and his rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784. 16For by fireH784 will the LORDH3068 pleadH8199, and by his swordH2719, with allH3605 fleshH1320: and the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be manyH7231. 17They that sanctifyH6942 themselvesH310 and purifyH2891 themselvesH310 to go unto the gardensH1593, behindH310 one in the midstH8432, eatingH398 swine’sH2386 fleshH1320, and the abomination, and the mouseH5909; they shall comeH5486 to an endH5486 togetherH3162, saith the LORDH3068. 18For I know their worksH4639 and their thoughtsH4284: the time cometh, that I will gatherH6908 allH3605 nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956; and they shall comeH935, and shall seeH7200 my gloryH3519. 19And I will setH7760 a signH226 among them, and I will sendH7971 suchH834 as escapeH6412 of them unto the nationsH1471, to TarshishH8659, PulH6322 and LudH3865, that drawH4900 the bowH7198, to TubalH8422 and JavanH3120, to the islesH339 afarH7350 offH7350, that have notH3808 heardH8085 my fameH8088, neitherH3808 have seenH7200 my gloryH3519; and they shall declareH5046 my gloryH3519 among the nationsH1471. 20And they shall bringH935 allH3605 your brethrenH251 outH5921 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 for an offering unto the LORDH3068, uponH5921 horsesH5483, and in chariotsH7393, and in litters, and uponH5921 mulesH6505, and uponH5921 swift beastsH1121, to my holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389, saith the LORDH3068, as the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 their offering in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 21And of them also will I takeH3947 for priestsH3548 and for LevitesH3881, saith the LORDH3068. 22For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, whichH834 I will makeH6213, shall remainH5975 beforeH6440 meH6440, saith the LORDH3068, soH3651 shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remainH5975. 23And it shall comeH935 to passH935, that from one newH2320 moonH2320 to another, and from one sabbathH7676 to another, shall allH3605 fleshH1320 comeH935 to worshipH7812 beforeH6440 meH6440, saith the LORDH3068. 24And they shall goH3318 forthH3318, and lookH7200 uponH1961 the carcases of the menH376 that have transgressedH6586 againstH376 meH7200: for their worm shall notH3808 dieH4191, neitherH3808 shall their fireH784 be quenchedH3518; and they shall be an abhorring unto allH3605 fleshH1320.
