Isaiah 65:1-16 - Judgment And Salvation

¹ was sought by them they asked not; I was found by them not seeking me: I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation not calling upon my name. ² I spread forth my hands all the day to a perverse people, going the way not good, after their purposes. ³ The people irritating me to my face continually; sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks; ⁴ Dwelling among the graves, and they will lodge among the watchers, eating swine's flesh, and broth of unclean things in their vessels. ⁵ Saying, Come near to thyself; thou shalt not touch upon me, for I was clean to thee. These a smoke in my wrath, a fire burning all the day. ⁶ Behold, it written before me: I will not be silent, but I requited, and I requited upon their bosom, ⁷ Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, said Jehovah, who burnt incense upon the mountains, and upon the hills they reproached me: and I measured their former work upon their bosom.

⁸ Thus said Jehovah, As the new wine will be found in the cluster, and he will say, Thou shalt not destroy it, for a blessing in it: thus will I do for sake of my servant, to not destroy them all. ⁹ And I brought forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah he shall inherit my mountain: and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell their. ¹⁰ And Sharon was for a dwelling of sheep, and the valley of Achor for a resting place of the herd, for my people who sought me. ¹¹ And ye forsaking Jehovah, forgetting my holy mountain, and preparing a table for Gad, and filling up for fate from mixed wine. ¹² And I numbered you to the sword, and ye all shall bend to the slaughter, because I called, and ye answered not: I spake and ye heard not; and ye will do evil in mine eyes, and in what I delighted not, ye chose.

¹³ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat and ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink and ye shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed. ¹⁴ Behold, my servants shall shout from good of heart, but ye shall cry from pain of heart, and wail from breaking of spirit ¹⁵ And ye set down your name for a curse to my chosen: and the Lord Jehovah slaying thee, and he will call his servants another name. ¹⁶ That he praising himself in the earth shall praise himself in the true God; and he swearing in the earth, shall swear in the true God; for the former straits were forgotten, and because they were hid from mine eyes.
