Isaiah 66:1-21

66:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

The heaven
<08064>

[is] my throne
<03678>_,

and the earth
<0776>

[is] my footstool
<07272> <01916>_:

where [is] the house
<01004>

that ye build
<01129> (8799)

unto me? and where [is] the place
<04725>

of my rest
<04496>_?

66:2

For all those [things] hath mine hand
<03027>

made
<06213> (8804)_,

and all those [things] have been, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

but to this [man] will I look
<05027> (8686)_,

[even] to [him that is] poor
<06041>

and of a contrite
<05223>

spirit
<07307>_,

and trembleth
<02730>

at my word
<01697>_.

66:3

He that killeth
<07819> (8802)

an ox
<07794>

[is as if] he slew
<05221> (8688)

a man
<0376>_;

he that sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)

a lamb
<07716>_,

[as if] he cut off
<06202> (0)

a dog's
<03611>

neck
<06202> (8802)_;

he that offereth
<05927> (8688)

an oblation
<04503>_,

[as if he offered] swine's
<02386>

blood
<01818>_;

he that burneth
<02142> (8688)

incense
<03828>_,

[as if] he blessed
<01288> (8764)

an idol
<0205>_.

Yea, they have chosen
<0977> (8804)

their own ways
<01870>_,

and their soul
<05315>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

in their abominations
<08251>_.

{lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}

66:4

I also will choose
<0977> (8799)

their delusions
<08586>_,

and will bring
<0935> (8686)

their fears
<04035>

upon them; because when I called
<07121> (8804)_,

none did answer
<06030> (8802)_;

when I spake
<01696> (8765)_,

they did not hear
<08085> (8804)_:

but they did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

before mine eyes
<05869>_,

and chose
<0977> (8804)

[that] in which I delighted
<02654> (8804)

not. {delusions: or, devices}

66:5

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

ye that tremble
<02730>

at his word
<01697>_;

Your brethren
<0251>

that hated
<08130> (8802)

you, that cast you out
<05077> (8764)

for my name's
<08034>

sake, said
<0559> (8804)_,

Let the LORD
<03068>

be glorified
<03513> (8799)_:

but he shall appear
<07200> (8737)

to your joy
<08057>_,

and they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.

66:6

A voice
<06963>

of noise
<07588>

from the city
<05892>_,

a voice
<06963>

from the temple
<01964>_,

a voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

that rendereth
<07999> (8764)

recompence
<01576>

to his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

66:7

Before she travailed
<02342> (8799)_,

she brought forth
<03205> (8804)_;

before her pain
<02256>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

she was delivered
<04422> (8689)

of a man child
<02145>_.

66:8

Who hath heard
<08085> (8804)

such a thing? who hath seen
<07200> (8804)

such things? Shall the earth
<0776>

be made to bring forth
<02342> (8714)

in one
<0259>

day
<03117>_?

[or] shall a nation
<01471>

be born
<03205> (8735)

at once
<06471>_?

for as soon as
<01571>

Zion
<06726>

travailed
<02342> (8804)_,

she brought forth
<03205> (8804)

her children
<01121>_.

66:9

Shall I bring to the birth
<07665> (8686)_,

and not cause to bring forth
<03205> (8686)_?

saith
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_:

shall I
<0589>

cause to bring forth
<03205> (8688)_,

and shut
<06113> (8804)

[the womb]? saith
<0559> (8804)

thy God
<0430>_.

{not...: or, not beget?}

66:10

Rejoice
<08055> (8798)

ye with Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and be glad
<01523> (8798)

with her, all ye that love
<0157> (8802)

her: rejoice
<07797> (8798)

for joy
<04885>

with her, all ye that mourn
<056> (8693)

for her:

66:11

That ye may suck
<03243> (8799)_,

and be satisfied
<07646> (8804)

with the breasts
<07699>

of her consolations
<08575>_;

that ye may milk out
<04711> (8799)_,

and be delighted
<06026> (8694)

with the abundance
<02123>

of her glory
<03519>_.

{abundance: or, brightness}

66:12

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will extend
<05186> (8802)

peace
<07965>

to her like a river
<05104>_,

and the glory
<03519>

of the Gentiles
<01471>

like a flowing
<07857> (8802)

stream
<05158>_:

then shall ye suck
<03243> (8804)_,

ye shall be borne
<05375> (8735)

upon [her] sides
<06654>_,

and be dandled
<08173> (8746)

upon [her] knees
<01290>_.

66:13

As one
<0376>

whom his mother
<0517>

comforteth
<05162> (8762)_,

so will I comfort
<05162> (8762)

you; and ye shall be comforted
<05162> (8792)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

66:14

And when ye see
<07200> (8804)

[this], your heart
<03820>

shall rejoice
<07797> (8804)_,

and your bones
<06106>

shall flourish
<06524> (8799)

like an herb
<01877>_:

and the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall be known
<03045> (8738)

toward his servants
<05650>_,

and [his] indignation
<02194> (8804)

toward his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

66:15

For, behold, the LORD
<03068>

will come
<0935> (8799)

with fire
<0784>_,

and with his chariots
<04818>

like a whirlwind
<05492>_,

to render
<07725> (8687)

his anger
<0639>

with fury
<02534>_,

and his rebuke
<01606>

with flames
<03851>

of fire
<0784>_.

66:16

For by fire
<0784>

and by his sword
<02719>

will the LORD
<03068>

plead
<08199> (8737)

with all flesh
<01320>_:

and the slain
<02491>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall be many
<07231> (8804)_.

66:17

They that sanctify
<06942> (8693)

themselves, and purify
<02891> (8693)

themselves in the gardens
<01593>

behind
<0310>

one
<0259>

[tree] in the midst
<08432>_,

eating
<0398> (8802)

swine's
<02386>

flesh
<01320>_,

and the abomination
<08263>_,

and the mouse
<05909>_,

shall be consumed
<05486> (8799)

together
<03162>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{behind...: or, one after another}

66:18

For I [know] their works
<04639>

and their thoughts
<04284>_:

it shall come
<0935> (8802)_,

that I will gather
<06908> (8763)

all nations
<01471>

and tongues
<03956>_;

and they shall come
<0935> (8804)_,

and see
<07200> (8804)

my glory
<03519>_.

66:19

And I will set
<07760> (8804)

a sign
<0226>

among them, and I will send
<07971> (8765)

those that escape
<06412>

of them unto the nations
<01471>_,

[to] Tarshish
<08659>_,

Pul
<06322>_,

and Lud
<03865>_,

that draw
<04900> (8802)

the bow
<07198>_,

[to] Tubal
<08422>_,

and Javan
<03120>_,

[to] the isles
<0339>

afar off
<07350>_,

that have not heard
<08085> (8804)

my fame
<08088>_,

neither have seen
<07200> (8804)

my glory
<03519>_;

and they shall declare
<05046> (8689)

my glory
<03519>

among the Gentiles
<01471>_.

66:20

And they shall bring
<0935> (8689)

all your brethren
<0251>

[for] an offering
<04503>

unto the LORD
<03068>

out of all nations
<01471>

upon horses
<05483>_,

and in chariots
<07393>_,

and in litters
<06632>_,

and upon mules
<06505>_,

and upon swift beasts
<03753>_,

to my holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>

Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

as the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

bring
<0935> (8686)

an offering
<04503>

in a clean
<02889>

vessel
<03627>

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{litters: or, coaches}

66:21

And I will also take
<03947> (8799)

of them for priests
<03548>

[and] for Levites
<03881>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.
