Isaiah 65:6-9

Context

65:6 Look, I have decreed: 1 

I will not keep silent, but will pay them back;

I will pay them back exactly what they deserve, 2 

65:7 for your sins and your ancestors’ sins,” 3  says the Lord.

“Because they burned incense on the mountains

and offended 4  me on the hills,

I will punish them in full measure.” 5 

65:8 This is what the Lord says:

“When 6  juice is discovered in a cluster of grapes,

someone says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for it contains juice.’ 7 

So I will do for the sake of my servants –

I will not destroy everyone. 8 

65:9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,

and from Judah people to take possession of my mountains.

My chosen ones will take possession of the land; 9 

my servants will live there.

Isaiah 65:18

Context

65:18 But be happy and rejoice forevermore

over what I am about to create!

For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem 10  to be a source of joy, 11 

and her people to be a source of happiness. 12
