Isaiah 65:1
|
|
I am sought of them that asked not for me; I
am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation
that was not called by my name. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:2 |
|
I have spread out my hands all the day unto
a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own
thoughts; |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 65:3 |
|
A people that provoketh me to anger continually
to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 65:4 |
|
Which remain among the graves, and lodge in
the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their
vessels; |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 65:5 |
|
Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to
me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth
all the day. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 65:6 |
|
Behold, it is written before me: I will not
keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 65:7 |
|
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your
fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains,
and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into
their bosom. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:8 |
|
Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found
in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will
I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:9 |
|
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob,
and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it,
and my servants shall dwell there. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:10 |
|
And Sharon shall be 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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:11 |
|
But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that
forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish
the drink offering unto that number. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:12 |
|
Therefore will I number you to the sword, and
ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer;
when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that
wherein I delighted not. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:13 |
|
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my
servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but
ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:14 |
|
Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart,
but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:15 |
|
And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto
my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another
name: |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:16 |
|
That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall
bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear
by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they
are hid from mine eyes. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:17 |
|
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new
earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:18 |
|
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that
which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a
joy. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:19 |
|
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in
my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice
of crying. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 65:20 |
|
There shall be no more thence an infant of days,
nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred
years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 65:21 |
|
And they shall build houses, and inhabit them;
and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:22 |
|
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they
shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my
people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:23 |
|
They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth
for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring
with them. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:24 |
|
And it shall come to pass, that before they
call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 65:25 |
|
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and
the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD. |
