Isaiah 66
1Yahweh 1 “ Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. 2 What kind of house will you build to me? 2 Where will I rest? 1
2For 2 and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: 1 “ but I will look to this man, 2 even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, 2 and who trembles at my word. 1
3He 2 he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; 2 he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; 2 he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. 1 Yes, they have chosen their own ways, 2 and their soul delights in their abominations. 1
4I 2 and will bring their fears on them, 1 because when I called, no one answered; 2 when I spoke, they didn’t listen, 1 but they did that which was evil in my eyes, 2 and chose that in which I didn’t delight.” 1
5Hear 2 you who tremble at his word: 1 “ Your brothers who hate you, 2 who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, 1 ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, 2 that we may see your joy;’ 2 but it is those who shall be disappointed. 1
6A 2 a voice from the temple, 2 a voice of Yahweh that repays his enemies what they deserve. 1
7“ Before 2 Before her pain came, she delivered a son. 1
8Who 2 Who has seen such things? 1 Shall a land be born in one day? 2 Shall a nation be born at once? 1 For as soon as Zion travailed, 2 she gave birth to her children. 1
9Shall 2 “ Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God. 1
10“ Rejoice 2 Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her; 1
11that 2 that you may drink deeply, 2 and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.” 1
12For 2 and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, 2 and you will nurse. 1 You will be carried on her side, 2 and will be dandled on her knees. 1
13As 2 so I will comfort you. 2 You will be comforted in Jerusalem.” 1
14You 2 and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. 1 Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; 2 and he will have indignation against his enemies. 1
15For 2 and his chariots will be like the whirlwind; 1 to give his anger with fierceness, 2 and his rebuke with flames of fire. 1
16For 2 and those slain by Yahweh will be many.
