Isaiah 65 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“I have spread ^H6566 out ^H6566 My hands ^H3027 all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long to a rebellious ^H5637 people ^H5971,

Who walk ^H1980 in the way ^H1870 which is not good ^H2896, [fn]following ^H310 their own thoughts ^H4284,

A people ^H5971 who continually ^H8548 provoke ^H3707 Me to My face ^H6440,

Offering ^H2076 sacrifices ^H2076 in gardens ^H1593 and burning ^H6999 incense ^H6999 on bricks ^H3843;

Who sit ^H3427 among graves ^H6913 and spend ^H3885 the ^H3885 night ^H3885 in secret ^H5341 places ^H5341;

Who eat ^H398 pig’s ^H2386 flesh ^H1320,

And the broth ^H4839 of unclean ^H6292 meat ^H6292 is in their pots ^H3627.

“Who say ^H559, ‘Keep ^H7126 to yourself, do not come ^H5066 near ^H5066 me,

For I am ^H6942 holier ^H6942 than you!’

These ^H428 are smoke ^H6227 in My [fn]nostrils ^H639,

A fire ^H784 that burns ^H3344 all ^H3605 the day ^H3117.

“Behold ^H2009, it is written ^H3789 before ^H6440 Me:

I will not keep ^H2814 silent ^H2814, but I will repay ^H7999;

I will even repay ^H7999 [fn]into their laps ^H2436,

Both your own wrongdoings ^H5771 and the wrongdoings ^H5771 of your fathers ^H1 together ^H3162,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068.

“Because ^H834 they have burned ^H6999 incense ^H6999 on the mountains ^H2022

And scorned ^H2778 Me on the hills ^H1389,

Therefore I will measure ^H4058 their former ^H7223 work ^H6468 [fn]into their laps ^H2436.”

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

“Just ^H834 as ^H834 the new ^H8492 wine ^H8492 is found ^H4672 in the cluster ^H811,

And one says ^H559, ‘Do not destroy ^H7843 it, for there is [fn]benefit ^H1293 in it,’

So ^H3651 I will act ^H6213 in behalf ^H4616 of My servants ^H5650

In order not to destroy ^H7843 [fn]all ^H3605 of them.

“I will bring ^H3318 forth ^H3318 [fn]offspring ^H2233 from Jacob ^H3290,

And an heir ^H3423 of My mountains ^H2022 from Judah ^H3063;

My chosen ^H972 ones ^H972 shall inherit ^H3423 it,

And My servants ^H5650 will live ^H7931 there ^H8033.

“Sharon ^H8289 will be a pasture ^H5116 land ^H5116 for flocks ^H6629,

And the Valley ^H6010 of Achor ^H5911 a resting ^H7258 place ^H7258 for herds ^H1241,

For My people ^H5971 who ^H834 seek ^H1875 Me.

“But as for you who abandon ^H5800 the LORD ^H3068,

Who forget ^H7913 My holy ^H6944 mountain ^H2022,

Who set ^H6186 a table ^H7979 for [fn]Fortune ^H1409,

And fill ^H4390 a jug ^H4469 of ^H4469 mixed ^H4469 wine ^H4469 for [fn]Destiny ^H4507,

I will destine ^H4487 you for the sword ^H2719,

And all ^H3605 of you will bow ^H3766 down ^H3766 to the slaughter ^H2874.

Because ^H3282 I called ^H7121, but you did not answer ^H6030;

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

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

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

Therefore ^H3651, this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Behold ^H2009, My servants ^H5650 will eat ^H398, but you will be hungry ^H7456.

Behold ^H2009, My servants ^H5650 will drink ^H8354, but you will be ^H6770 thirsty ^H6770.

Behold ^H2009, My servants ^H5650 will rejoice ^H8055, but you will be put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954.

“Behold ^H2009, My servants ^H5650 will shout ^H7442 joyfully ^H7442 with a glad ^H2898 heart ^H3820,

But you will cry ^H6817 out ^H6817 from a painful ^H3511 heart ^H3820,

And you will wail ^H3213 from a broken ^H7665 spirit ^H7307.

“You will leave ^H5117 your name ^H8034 as a curse ^H7621 to My chosen ^H972 ones ^H972,

And the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 will put ^H4191 you to ^H4191 death ^H4191.

But [fn]My servants ^H5650 will be called ^H7121 by another ^H312 name ^H8034.

“Because ^H834 the one who [fn]is blessed ^H1288 on the earth ^H776

Will [fn]be blessed ^H1288 by the God ^H430 of truth ^H543;

And the one who swears ^H7650 an oath on the earth ^H776

Will swear ^H7650 by the God ^H430 of truth ^H543;

Because ^H3588 the former ^H7223 troubles ^H6869 are forgotten ^H7911,

And because ^H3588 they are hidden ^H5641 from My sight ^H5869!

“For behold ^H2009, I create ^H1254 new ^H2319 heavens ^H8064 and a new ^H2319 earth ^H776;

And the former ^H7223 things ^H7223 will not be remembered ^H2142 or come ^H5927 to [fn]mind ^H3820.

“But be glad ^H7797 and rejoice ^H1523 forever ^H5703 in what ^H834 I create ^H1254;

For behold ^H2009, I create ^H1254 Jerusalem ^H3389 for rejoicing ^H1525

And her people ^H5971 for gladness ^H4885.

“I will also rejoice ^H1523 in Jerusalem ^H3389 and be glad ^H7797 in My people ^H5971;

And there will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be heard ^H8085 in her

The voice ^H6963 of weeping ^H1065 and the sound ^H6963 of crying ^H2201.

“No ^H3808 longer ^H5750 will there be [fn]in it an infant ^H5764 who lives only a few days ^H3117,

Or an old ^H2205 person ^H2205 who ^H834 does not [fn]live ^H4390 out ^H4390 his days ^H3117;

For the youth ^H5288 will die ^H4191 at the age ^H1121 of a hundred ^H3967,

And the [fn]one who does ^H2398 not ^H2398 reach ^H2398 the age ^H1121 of a hundred ^H3967

Will be ^H7043 thought accursed ^H7043.

“They will build ^H1129 houses ^H1004 and inhabit ^H3427 them;

They will also plant ^H5193 vineyards ^H3754 and eat ^H398 their fruit ^H6529.

“They will not build ^H1129 and another ^H312 inhabit ^H3427,

They will not plant ^H5193 and another ^H312 eat ^H398;

For as the [fn]lifetime ^H3117 of a tree ^H6086, so will be the days ^H3117 of My people ^H5971,

And My chosen ^H972 ones ^H972 will fully ^H1086 enjoy ^H1086 the work ^H4639 of their hands ^H3027.

“They will not labor ^H3021 in vain ^H7385,

Or give ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to children for disaster ^H928;

For they are the [fn]descendants ^H2233 of those blessed ^H1288 by the LORD ^H3068,

And their descendants ^H6631 with them.

“It will also come ^H1961 to ^H1961 pass ^H1961 that before ^H2962 they call ^H7121, I will answer ^H6030; while they are still ^H5750 speaking ^H1696, I will listen ^H8085.
