Isaiah 66
1¶ Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where shall remain this house that ye built unto me? and where shall remain this place of my rest?
2For all these things my hand has made, by my hand has these things been, said the Lord; but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and trembles at my word.
3He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offers an oblation as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burns incense as if he blessed iniquity. They have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
4I also will choose their delusions and will bring their fears upon them because I called, and no one answered; I spoke, and they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes and chose that which displeased me.
5¶ Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hate you, that deny you for my name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified; but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6A voice of noise from the city, a voice of the temple, a voice of the Lord that renders recompense to his enemies.
7Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth bring forth in one day? Shall an entire nation be born at once? that Zion travailed, and shall bring forth her sons together?
9I, who make births to happen, shall I not be with child? saith the Lord; I, who causes conception, shall I be stopped? saith thy God.
10Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: be filled with joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the splendour of her glory.
12For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream; then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13As a man child whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14And ye shall see, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like grass; and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his slaves and his indignation toward his enemies.
15¶ For, behold, the Lord will come with fire and with his chariots like a whirlwind to render his anger with fury and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16For by fire and by his sword will the Lord judge all flesh; and the slain of the Lord shall be multiplied.
17Those that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, one behind another; those that eat swine’s flesh and abomination, and the mouse shall be cut off together, saith the Lord.
18For I understand their works and their thoughts. The time shall come to gather all the Gentiles and tongues; and they shall come and see my glory.
19And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the Gentiles, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have never heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord from among all the Gentiles, upon horses and in chariots and in litters and upon mules and upon camels to my holy mountain of Jerusalem, saith the Lord, so that the sons of Israel bring the offering in clean vessels to the house of the Lord.
21And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
22For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another and from one sabbath to another all flesh shall come to worship before me, said the Lord.
24And they shall go forth and look upon the carcasses of the men that rebelled against me; for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 66
66
1Thus said יהוה, “The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool. Where is this house that you build for Me? And where is this place of My rest?
2“And all these My hand has made, and all these that exist,” declares יהוה. “Yet to such a one I look: on him who is poor and bruised of spirit, and who trembles at My Word.
3"But whoever slays the bull strikes a man; whoever slaughters the lamb breaks a dog’s neck; whoever brings a grain offering – pig’s blood; whoever burns incense blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways, and their being delights in their abominations.
4“I shall also choose their punishments, and bring their fears on them. Because I called, but no one answered. I spoke and they did not hear, and they did evil before My eyes, and chose what was displeasing to Me.”
5Hear the Word of יהוה, you who tremble at His Word, “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for My Name’s sake, said, ‘Let יהוה be esteemed, so that we see your joy.’ But they are put to shame.”
6“A roaring sound from the city, a voice from the Hĕḵal, the voice of יהוה, repaying His enemies!
7“Before she laboured, she gave birth; before a pain came to her, she was delivered of a male child.
8“Who has heard the like of this? Who has seen the like of these? Is a land brought forth in one day? Is a nation born at once? For as soon as Tsiyon laboured, she gave birth to her children.
9“Shall I bring to birth, and not give delivery?” says יהוה. “Shall I who give delivery restrain birth?” said your Elohim.
10“Rejoice with Yerushalayim, and be glad with her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn for her;
11so that you feed, and shall be satisfied with the breast of her comforts, so that you drink deeply, and shall delight yourselves in her overflowing esteem.”
12For thus said יהוה, “See, I am extending peace to her like a river, and the esteem of the nations like a flowing stream. And you shall feed; you shall be carried on the side, and be fondled on her knees.
13“As one whom his mother comforts, so I comfort you. And in Yerushalayim you are comforted.”
14“And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones flourish as tender grass. And the hand of יהוה shall be known to His servants, and His displeasure to His enemies.
15“For look, יהוה comes with fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His displeasure with burning, and His rebuke with flames of fire.
16“For by fire and by His sword יהוה shall judge all flesh, and the slain of יהוה shall be many –
17those who set themselves apart and cleanse themselves at the gardens after ‘one’ in the midst, eating flesh of pigs#See Isa. 65:4 and the abomination and the mouse, are snatched away, together,” declares יהוה.
18“And I, because of their works and their imaginations, am coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My esteem.
19“And I shall set a sign among them, and shall send some of those who escape to the nations – Tarshish and Pul and Luḏ, who draw the bow, and Tuḇal and Yawan, the coastlands afar off who have not heard My report nor seen My esteem. And they shall declare My esteem among the nations.
20“And they shall bring all your brothers as an offering to יהוה out of all the nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My set-apart mountain Yerushalayim,” declares יהוה, “as the children of Yisra’ĕl bring an offering in a clean vessel into the House of יהוה.
21“And from them too I shall take for priests – for Lĕwites,” declares יהוה.
22“For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make stand before Me,” declares יהוה, “so your seed and your name shall stand.
23“And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath,#Possible meaning: Every week on the Sabbath. all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה.
24“And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me.#See Isa. 24:6; Isa. 34:2, 3; Psa. 110:6; Jer. 25:33 For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!”
