[1] Yahweh says:
“Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build to me?
Where will I rest?
[2] For my hand has made all these things,
and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh:
“but I will look to this man,
even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
and who trembles at my word.
[3] He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck;
he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood;
he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol.
Yes, they have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations.
[4] I also will choose their delusions,
and will bring their fears on them,
because when I called, no one answered;
when I spoke, they didn’t listen,
but they did that which was evil in my eyes,
and chose that in which I didn’t delight.” [5] Hear Yahweh’s word,
you who tremble at his word:
“Your brothers who hate you,
who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said,
‘Let Yahweh be glorified,
that we may see your joy;’
but it is those who shall be disappointed.
[6] A voice of tumult from the city,
a voice from the temple,
a voice of Yahweh that repays his enemies what they deserve. [7] “Before she travailed, she gave birth.
Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
[8] Who has heard of such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
Shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion travailed,
she gave birth to her children.
[9] Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says Yahweh.
“Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God. [10] “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her.
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
[11] that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts;
that you may drink deeply,
and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.” [12] For Yahweh says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,
and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream,
and you will nurse.
You will be carried on her side,
and will be dandled on her knees.
[13] As one whom his mother comforts,
so I will comfort you.
You will be comforted in Jerusalem.” [14] You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice,
and your bones will flourish like the tender grass.
Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants;
and he will have indignation against his enemies. [15] For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire,
and his chariots will be like the whirlwind;
to render his anger with fierceness,
and his rebuke with flames of fire.
[16] For Yahweh will execute judgment by fire and by his sword on all flesh;
and those slain by Yahweh will be many. [17] “Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one in the middle, eating pig’s meat, abominable things, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says Yahweh. [18] “For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes that I will gather all nations and languages, and they will come, and will see my glory. [19] “I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. [20] They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into Yahweh’s house. [21] Of them I will also select priests and Levites,” says Yahweh. [22] “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says Yahweh, “so your offspring and your name shall remain. [23] It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me,” says Yahweh. [24] “They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
“Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build to me?
Where will I rest?
[2] For my hand has made all these things,
and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh:
“but I will look to this man,
even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit,

King James Version
[1] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 The heavenH8064 [is] my throne,H3678 and the earthH776 [is] my footstool:H7272 where [is] the houseH1004 that ye buildH1129(QalImpf) unto me? and where [is] the placeH4725 of my rest?H4496 [2] For all those [things] hath mine handH3027 made,H6213(QalPerf) and all those [things] have been, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord:H3068 but to this [man] will I look,H5027(HiphImpf) [even] to [him that is] poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spirit,H7307 and tremblethH2730 at my word.H1697 [3] He that killethH7819(QalActPtc) an oxH7794 [is as if] he slewH5221(HiphPtc) a man;H376 he that sacrificethH2076(QalActPtc) a lamb,H7716 [as if] he cut offH6202 a dog’sH3611 neck;H6202(QalActPtc) he that offerethH5927(HiphPtc) an oblation,H4503 [as if he offered] swine’sH2386 blood;H1818 he that burnethH2142(HiphPtc) incense,H3828 [as if] he blessedH1288(PielPtc) an idol.H205 Yea, they have chosenH977(QalPerf) their own ways,H1870 and their soulH5315 delightethH2654(QalPerf) in their abominations.H8251 [4] I also will chooseH977(QalImpf) their delusions,H8586 and will bringH935(HiphImpf) their fearsH4035 upon them; because when I called,H7121(QalPerf) none did answer;H6030(QalActPtc) when I spake,H1696(PielPerf) they did not hear:H8085(QalPerf) but they didH6213(QalImpf) evilH7451 before mine eyes,H5869 and choseH977(QalPerf) [that] in which I delightedH2654(QalPerf) not. [5] HearH8085(QalImpv) the wordH1697 of the Lord,H3068 ye that trembleH2730 at his word;H1697 Your brethrenH251 that hatedH8130(QalActPtc) you, that cast you outH5077(PielPtc) for my name’sH8034 sake, said,H559(QalPerf) Let the LordH3068 be glorified:H3513(QalImpf) but he shall appearH7200(NiphPtc) to your joy,H8057 and they shall be ashamed.H954(QalImpf) [6] A voiceH6963 of noiseH7588 from the city,H5892 a voiceH6963 from the temple,H1964 a voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 that renderethH7999(PielPtc) recompenceH1576 to his enemies.H341(QalActPtc) [7] Before she travailed,H2342(QalImpf) she brought forth;H3205(QalPerf) before her painH2256 came,H935(QalImpf) she was deliveredH4422(HiphPerf) of a man child.H2145 [8] Who hath heardH8085(QalPerf) such a thing? who hath seenH7200(QalPerf) such things? Shall the earthH776 be made to bring forthH2342(HophImpf) in oneH259 day?H3117 [or] shall a nationH1471 be bornH3205(NiphImpf) at once?H6471 for as soon asH1571 ZionH6726 travailed,H2342(QalPerf) she brought forthH3205(QalPerf) her children.H1121 [9] Shall I bring to the birth,H7665(HiphImpf) and not cause to bring forth?H3205(HiphImpf) saithH559(QalImpf) the Lord:H3068 shall IH589 cause to bring forth,H3205(HiphPtc) and shutH6113(QalPerf) [the womb]? saithH559(QalPerf) thy God.H430 [10] RejoiceH8055(QalImpv) ye with Jerusalem,H3389 and be gladH1523(QalImpv) with her, all ye that loveH157(QalActPtc) her: rejoiceH7797(QalImpv) for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56(HithPtc) for her: [11] That ye may suck,H3243(QalImpf) and be satisfiedH7646(QalPerf) with the breastsH7699 of her consolations;H8575 that ye may milk out,H4711(QalImpf) and be delightedH6026(HithPerf) with the abundanceH2123 of her glory.H3519 [12] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 Behold, I will extendH5186(QalActPtc) peaceH7965 to her like a river,H5104 and the gloryH3519 of the GentilesH1471 like a flowingH7857(QalActPtc) stream:H5158 then shall ye suck,H3243(QalPerf) ye shall be borneH5375(NiphImpf) upon [her] sides,H6654 and be dandledH8173(PulaImpf) upon [her] knees.H1290 [13] As oneH376 whom his motherH517 comforteth,H5162(PielImpf) so will I comfortH5162(PielImpf) you; and ye shall be comfortedH5162(PualImpf) in Jerusalem.H3389 [14] And when ye seeH7200(QalPerf) [this], your heartH3820 shall rejoice,H7797(QalPerf) and your bonesH6106 shall flourishH6524(QalImpf) like an herb:H1877 and the handH3027 of the LordH3068 shall be knownH3045(NiphPerf) toward his servants,H5650 and [his] indignationH2194(QalPerf) toward his enemies.H341(QalActPtc) [15] For, behold, the LordH3068 will comeH935(QalImpf) with fire,H784 and with his chariotsH4818 like a whirlwind,H5492 to renderH7725(HiphInf) his angerH639 with fury,H2534 and his rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fire.H784 [16] For by fireH784 and by his swordH2719 will the LordH3068 pleadH8199(NiphPtc) with all flesh:H1320 and the slainH2491 of the LordH3068 shall be many.H7231(QalPerf) [17] They that sanctifyH6942(HithPtc) themselves, and purifyH2891(HithPtc) themselves in the gardensH1593 behindH310 oneH259 [tree] in the midst,H8432 eatingH398(QalActPtc) swine’sH2386 flesh,H1320 and the abomination,H8263 and the mouse,H5909 shall be consumedH5486(QalImpf) together,H3162 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [18] For I [know] their worksH4639 and their thoughts:H4284 it shall come,H935(QalActPtc) that I will gatherH6908(PielInf) all nationsH1471 and tongues;H3956 and they shall come,H935(QalPerf) and seeH7200(QalPerf) my glory.H3519 [19] And I will setH7760(QalPerf) a signH226 among them, and I will sendH7971(PielPerf) those that escapeH6412 of them unto the nations,H1471 [to] Tarshish,H8659 Pul,H6322 and Lud,H3865 that drawH4900(QalActPtc) the bow,H7198 [to] Tubal,H8422 and Javan,H3120 [to] the islesH339 afar off,H7350 that have not heardH8085(QalPerf) my fame,H8088 neither have seenH7200(QalPerf) my glory;H3519 and they shall declareH5046(HiphPerf) my gloryH3519 among the Gentiles.H1471 [20] And they shall bringH935(HiphPerf) all your brethrenH251 [for] an offeringH4503 unto the LordH3068 out of all nationsH1471 upon horses,H5483 and in chariots,H7393 and in litters,H6632 and upon mules,H6505 and upon swift beasts,H3753 to my holyH6944 mountainH2022 Jerusalem,H3389 saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 as the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935(HiphImpf) an offeringH4503 in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 into the houseH1004 of the Lord.H3068 [21] And I will also takeH3947(QalImpf) of them for priestsH3548 [and] for Levites,H3881 saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord.H3068 [22] For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earth,H776 which I will make,H6213(QalActPtc) shall remainH5975(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 me, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 so shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remain.H5975(QalImpf) [23] And it shall come to pass, [that] fromH1767 one new moonH2320 to another,H2320 and fromH1767 one sabbathH7676 to another,H7676 shall all fleshH1320 comeH935(QalImpf) to worshipH7812(HithInf) beforeH6440 me, saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord.H3068 [24] And they shall go forth,H3318(QalPerf) and lookH7200(QalPerf) upon the carcasesH6297 of the menH582 that have transgressedH6586(QalActPtc) against me: for their wormH8438 shall not die,H4191(QalImpf) neither shall their fireH784 be quenched;H3518(QalImpf) and they shall be an abhorringH1860 unto all flesh.H1320
