Isaiah 66 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Heaven ^H8064 is My throne ^H3678 and the earth ^H776 is the footstool ^H1916 for My feet ^H7272.

Where ^H335 then ^H2088 is a house ^H1004 you could build ^H1129 for Me?

And where ^H335 is a place ^H4725 that [fn]I may rest ^H4496?

“For My hand ^H3027 made ^H6213 all ^H3605 these ^H428 things ^H428,

So all ^H3605 these ^H428 things ^H428 came ^H1961 into being ^H1961,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“But I will look ^H5027 to this ^H2088 one ^H2088,

At one ^H6041 who is humble ^H6041 and contrite ^H5223 in spirit ^H7307, and who ^H2730 trembles ^H2730 at My word ^H1697.

“But the one who slaughters ^H7819 an ox ^H7794 is like one who kills ^H5221 a person ^H376;

The one who sacrifices ^H2076 a lamb ^H7716 is like one who breaks ^H6202 a dog’s ^H3611 neck ^H6202;

One who offers ^H5927 a grain offering ^H4503 is like one who offers pig’s ^H2386 blood ^H1818;

One who [fn]burns ^H2142 incense ^H3828 is like one who blesses ^H1288 an idol ^H205.

As they have chosen ^H977 their own ways ^H1870,

And their souls ^H5315 delight ^H2654 in their abominations ^H8251,

So ^H1571 I will choose ^H977 their [fn]punishments ^H8586

And bring ^H935 on them what ^H4034 they dread ^H4034.

Because ^H3282 I called ^H7121, but no ^H369 one ^H369 answered ^H6030;

I spoke ^H1696, but they did not listen ^H8085.

Instead, they did ^H6213 evil ^H7451 in My sight ^H5869

And chose ^H977 that in which ^H834 I did not delight ^H2654.”

Hear ^H8085 the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068, you who ^H2730 tremble ^H2730 at His word ^H1697:

“Your brothers ^H251 who hate ^H8130 you, who exclude ^H5077 you on account ^H4616 of My name ^H8034,

Have said ^H559, ‘Let the LORD ^H3068 be glorified ^H3513, so that we may see ^H7200 your joy ^H8057.’

But they will be put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954.

“A sound ^H6963 of uproar ^H7588 from the city ^H5892, a voice ^H6963 from the temple ^H1964,

The voice ^H6963 of the LORD ^H3068 who is dealing ^H7999 retribution ^H1576 to His enemies ^H340.

“Before ^H2962 she was ^H2342 in ^H2342 labor ^H2342, she delivered ^H3205;

Before ^H2962 her pain ^H2256 came ^H935, she gave ^H4422 birth ^H4422 to a boy ^H2145.

“Who ^H4310 has heard ^H8085 such ^H2088 a thing ^H2088? Who ^H4310 has seen ^H7200 such ^H428 things?

Can a land ^H776 be [fn]born ^H2342 in one ^H259 day ^H3117?

Can a nation ^H1471 be given ^H3205 birth ^H3205 all ^H6471 at ^H6471 once ^H259 H6471?

As ^H3588 soon ^H3588 as ^H3588 Zion ^H6726 was ^H2342 in ^H2342 labor ^H2342, she also ^H1571 delivered ^H3205 her sons ^H1121.

“Shall I bring ^H7665 to ^H7665 the ^H7665 point ^H7665 of ^H7665 birth ^H7665 but not give ^H3205 delivery ^H3205?” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068.

“Or ^H518 shall I who gives ^H3205 delivery ^H3205 shut ^H6113 the womb?” says ^H559 your God ^H430.

“Be ^H8055 joyful ^H8055 with Jerusalem ^H3389 and rejoice ^H1523 for her, all ^H3605 you who love ^H157 her;

Be exceedingly ^H4885 glad ^H7797 with her, all ^H3605 you who mourn ^H56 over ^H5921 her,

So ^H4616 that ^H4616 you may nurse ^H3243 and be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with her comforting ^H8575 breasts ^H7699,

So ^H4616 that ^H4616 you may drink ^H4711 fully ^H4711 and be delighted ^H6026 with her bountiful ^H3519 breasts ^H2123.”

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: “Behold ^H2009, I extend ^H5186 peace ^H7965 to her like a river ^H5104,

And the glory ^H3519 of the nations ^H1471 like an overflowing ^H7857 stream ^H5158;

And you will [fn]be nursed ^H3243, you will be carried ^H5375 on the [fn]hip ^H6654 and rocked ^H8173 back ^H8173 and ^H8173 forth ^H8173 on the knees ^H1290.

“As one ^H376 whom ^H834 his mother ^H517 comforts ^H5162, so ^H3651 I will comfort ^H5162 you;

And you will be comforted ^H5162 in Jerusalem ^H3389.”

Then you will see ^H7200 this, and your heart ^H3820 will be glad ^H7797,

And your bones ^H6106 will flourish ^H6524 like the new ^H1877 grass ^H1877;

And the hand ^H3027 of the LORD ^H3068 will be made ^H3045 known ^H3045 to His servants ^H5650,

But He will be ^H2194 indignant ^H2194 toward ^H854 His enemies ^H340.

For behold ^H2009, the LORD ^H3068 will come ^H935 in fire ^H784,

And His chariots ^H4818 like the whirlwind ^H5492,

To render ^H7725 His anger ^H639 with fury ^H2534,

And His rebuke ^H1606 with flames ^H3851 of fire ^H784.

For the LORD ^H3068 will execute ^H8199 judgment ^H8199 by fire ^H784

And by His sword ^H2719 on [fn]humanity ^H1320,

And those put ^H2491 to ^H2491 death ^H2491 by the LORD ^H3068 will be ^H7231 many ^H7231.

“Those who sanctify ^H6942 and purify ^H2891 themselves to go to the gardens ^H1593,

[fn]Following ^H310 one ^H259 in the center ^H8432,

Who eat ^H398 pig’s ^H2386 flesh ^H1320, detestable ^H8263 things ^H8263, and mice ^H5909,

Will come ^H5486 to ^H5486 an ^H5486 end ^H5486 altogether ^H3162,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“For I [fn]know their works ^H4639 and their thoughts ^H4284; [fn]the time is coming ^H935 to gather ^H6908 all ^H3605 the nations ^H1471 and tongues ^H3956. And they shall come ^H935 and see ^H7200 My glory ^H3519.

“For just ^H834 as ^H834 the new ^H2319 heavens ^H8064 and the new ^H2319 earth ^H776,

Which ^H834 I make ^H6213, will endure ^H5975 before ^H6440 Me,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

“So ^H3651 will your descendants ^H2233 and your name ^H8034 endure ^H5975.

“And it shall be from new ^H2320 moon ^H2320 to new ^H2320 moon ^H2320

And from Sabbath ^H7676 to Sabbath ^H7676,

All ^H3605 [fn]mankind ^H1320 will come ^H935 to bow ^H2331 down ^H2331 before ^H6440 Me,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068.

“Then they will go ^H3318 out ^H3318 and look ^H7200

At the corpses ^H6297 of the people ^H376

Who have rebelled ^H6586 against Me.

For their worm ^H8439 will not die ^H4191

And their fire ^H784 will not be extinguished ^H3518;

And they will be an abhorrence ^H1860 to all ^H3605 [fn]mankind ^H1320.”
