Isaiah 65

Isaiah 65
1¶ I was sought of those that did not ask for me; I was found of those that did not seek me; I said, Here I am, Here I am, unto a people that did not invoke my name.
2I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, who walk in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3a people that provokes me to anger continually to my face; that sacrifices in gardens, and burns incense upon altars of brick;
4who remain asleep among the graves, and lodge in the deserts, who eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5who say, Stand by thyself, do not come near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
6Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7For your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have burned incense upon the mountains and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore, I will measure their former work into their bosom.
8¶ Thus has the Lord said, As when one has found new wine in a cluster and says, Do not destroy it; for a blessing is in it; so will I do for my slaves’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
9And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my elect shall possess the land for an inheritance, and my slaves shall dwell there.
10And Sharon shall be for a fold of flocks and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11¶ But ye that forsake the Lord, that forget the mountain of my holiness, that prepare a table unto fortune, and that furnish the drink offering for destiny;
12I also will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter because when I called, ye did not respond; I spoke, and ye did not hear, but did evil before my eyes and did choose that which displeased me.
13Therefore thus has the Lord GOD said, Behold, my slaves shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my slaves shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my slaves shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
14Behold, my slaves shall rejoice by the joy of their heart, but ye shall cry for the sorrow of your heart and shall howl for the destruction of spirit.
15And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen; for the Lord GOD shall slay thee and call his slaves by another name.
16He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth because the former troubles shall be forgotten and shall be covered from my eyes.
17¶ For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18But ye shall be glad and rejoice from age to age in the things which I shall create; for, behold, I create joy unto Jerusalem and unto her people joy.
19And I will be glad with Jerusalem and rejoice with my people: and the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20There shall no longer be there an infant of days, nor an old man that has not filled his days, for the child shall die one hundred years old; and he who sins at one hundred years of age shall be accursed.
21And they shall build houses and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
22They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of the trees shall be the days of my people, and my elect shall perpetuate the work of their hands.
23They shall not labour in vain, nor give birth with fear; for their births are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring shall be with them.
24And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25The wolf and the lamb shall be fed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not afflict nor do evil in all my holy mountain, said the Lord.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 65
65
1“I have let Myself be inquired of, not by those who asked; I was found, not by those who sought Me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ to a nation not calling on My Name.
2“I have held out My hands all day long to a stubborn people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
3the people who provoke Me continually to My face, who slaughter in gardens, and burn incense on slaughter-places of brick;
4who sit among the burial-sites, and spend the night in secret places, who eat flesh of pigs,#See Isa. 66:17 and the broth of unclean meat is in their pots,
5who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am set-apart to you!’ These are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day.
6“See, it is written before Me: I am not silent, but shall repay, and I shall repay into their bosom,
7your crookednesses and the crookednesses of your fathers together,” said יהוה, “who burned incense on the mountains and reproached Me on the hills. And I shall measure their former work into their bosom.”
8Thus said יהוה, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one shall say, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is blessing in it,’ so I do for My servants’ sake, not to destroy them all.
9“And I shall bring forth a seed from Ya‛aqoḇ, and from Yehuḏah an heir of My mountains. And My chosen ones shall inherit it, and My servants dwell there.
10“And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Aḵor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who have sought Me.
11“But you are those who forsake יהוה, who forget My set-apart mountain, who prepare a table for Gad, and who fill a drink offering for Meni.
12“And I shall allot you to the sword, and let you all bow down to the slaughter, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not hear, and you did evil before My eyes and chose that in which I did not delight.”
13Therefore thus said the Master יהוה, “See, My servants eat, but you hunger; see, My servants drink, but you thirst; see, My servants rejoice, but you are put to shame;
14see, My servants sing for joy of heart, but you cry for sorrow of heart, and wail for breaking of spirit.
15“And you shall leave your name as a curse to My chosen, for the Master יהוה shall put you to death, and call His servants by another name,
16so that he who blesses himself in the earth does bless himself in the Elohim of truth. And he who swears in the earth does swear by the Elohim of truth. Because the former distresses shall be forgotten, and because they shall be hidden from My eyes.
17“For look, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered, nor come to heart.
18“But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for look, I create Yerushalayim a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19“And I shall rejoice in Yerushalayim, and shall joy in My people, and let the voice of weeping no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20“No more is an infant from there going to live but a few days, nor an old man who does not complete his days, for the youth dies one hundred years old, but the sinner being one hundred years old shall be lightly esteemed.
21“And they shall build houses and inhabit them, and plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22“They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat. For the days of My people are going to be as the days of a tree, and My chosen ones outlive the work of their hands.
23“They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth children for trouble. For they are the seed of the blessed of יהוה, and their offspring with them.
24“And it shall be that before they call, I answer. And while they are still speaking, I hear.
25“Wolf and lamb feed together, a lion eats straw as an ox, and dust is the snake’s food. They shall do no evil, nor destroy in all My set-apart mountain,” said יהוה.
