Isaiah 65 (WEBP)

[1] “I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.
[2] I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
[3] a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;
[4] who sit among the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
[5] who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.
[6] “Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
[7] your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says Yahweh, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
[8] Yahweh says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.
[9] I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell there.
[10] Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
[11] “But you who forsake Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
[12] I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
[13] Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
[14] Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.
[15] You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord Yahweh will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,
[16] so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
[17] “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.
[18] But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, and her people a joy.
[19] I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
[20] “No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
[21] They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
[22] They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.
[23] They will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of Yahweh’s blessed and their descendants with them.
[24] It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
[25] The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.

Isaiah 65 (KJVS)

[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.
[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;
[3] a people that provoketh me to anger () continually to my face; that sacrificeth () in gardens, and burneth incense () upon altars of brick;
[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;
[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.
[6] Behold, it is written () before me: I will not keep silence, () but will recompense, () even recompense () into their bosom,
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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: ()
[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.
[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:
[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.
[17] For, behold, I create () new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, () nor come () into mind.
[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.
[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.
[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. ()
[21] And they shall build () houses, and inhabit () them; and they shall plant () vineyards, and eat () the fruit of them.
[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.
[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.
[24] And it shall come to pass, that before they call, () I will answer; () and while they are yet speaking, () I will hear. ()
[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.

Isaiah 65 (BYZ)

[1] εμφανης εγενομην τοις εμε μη ζητουσιν ευρεθην τοις εμε μη επερωτωσιν ειπα ιδου ειμι τω εθνει οι ουκ εκαλεσαν μου το ονομα
[2] εξεπετασα τας χειρας μου ολην την ημεραν προς λαον απειθουντα και αντιλεγοντα οι ουκ επορευθησαν οδω αληθινη αλλ οπισω των αμαρτιων αυτων
[3] ο λαος ουτος ο παροξυνων με εναντιον εμου δια παντος αυτοι θυσιαζουσιν εν τοις κηποις και θυμιωσιν επι ταις πλινθοις τοις δαιμονιοις α ουκ εστιν
[4] και εν τοις μνημασιν και εν τοις σπηλαιοις κοιμωνται δι ενυπνια οι εσθοντες κρεα υεια και ζωμον θυσιων μεμολυμμενα παντα τα σκευη αυτων
[5] οι λεγοντες πορρω απ εμου μη εγγισης μου οτι καθαρος ειμι ουτος καπνος του θυμου μου πυρ καιεται εν αυτω πασας τας ημερας
[6] ιδου γεγραπται ενωπιον μου ου σιωπησω εως αν αποδω εις τον κολπον αυτων
[7] τας αμαρτιας αυτων και των πατερων αυτων λεγει κυριος οι εθυμιασαν επι των ορεων και επι των βουνων ωνειδισαν με αποδωσω τα εργα αυτων εις τον κολπον αυτων
[8] ουτως λεγει κυριος ον τροπον ευρεθησεται ο ρωξ εν τω βοτρυι και ερουσιν μη λυμηνη αυτον οτι ευλογια κυριου εστιν εν αυτω ουτως ποιησω ενεκεν του δουλευοντος μοι τουτου ενεκεν ου μη απολεσω παντας
[9] και εξαξω το εξ ιακωβ σπερμα και το εξ ιουδα και κληρονομησει το ορος το αγιον μου και κληρονομησουσιν οι εκλεκτοι μου και οι δουλοι μου και κατοικησουσιν εκει
[10] και εσονται εν τω δρυμω επαυλεις ποιμνιων και φαραγξ αχωρ εις αναπαυσιν βουκολιων τω λαω μου οι εζητησαν με
[11] υμεις δε οι εγκαταλιποντες με και επιλανθανομενοι το ορος το αγιον μου και ετοιμαζοντες τω δαιμονι τραπεζαν και πληρουντες τη τυχη κερασμα
[12] εγω παραδωσω υμας εις μαχαιραν παντες εν σφαγη πεσεισθε οτι εκαλεσα υμας και ουχ υπηκουσατε ελαλησα και παρηκουσατε και εποιησατε το πονηρον εναντιον εμου και α ουκ εβουλομην εξελεξασθε
[13] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου οι δουλευοντες μοι φαγονται υμεις δε πεινασετε ιδου οι δουλευοντες μοι πιονται υμεις δε διψησετε ιδου οι δουλευοντες μοι ευφρανθησονται υμεις δε αισχυνθησεσθε
[14] ιδου οι δουλευοντες μοι αγαλλιασονται εν ευφροσυνη υμεις δε κεκραξεσθε δια τον πονον της καρδιας υμων και απο συντριβης πνευματος ολολυξετε
[15] καταλειψετε γαρ το ονομα υμων εις πλησμονην τοις εκλεκτοις μου υμας δε ανελει κυριος τοις δε δουλευουσιν αυτω κληθησεται ονομα καινον
[16] ο ευλογηθησεται επι της γης ευλογησουσιν γαρ τον θεον τον αληθινον και οι ομνυοντες επι της γης ομουνται τον θεον τον αληθινον επιλησονται γαρ την θλιψιν αυτων την πρωτην και ουκ αναβησεται αυτων επι την καρδιαν
[17] εσται γαρ ο ουρανος καινος και η γη καινη και ου μη μνησθωσιν των προτερων ουδ ου μη επελθη αυτων επι την καρδιαν
[18] αλλ ευφροσυνην και αγαλλιαμα ευρησουσιν εν αυτη οτι ιδου εγω ποιω ιερουσαλημ αγαλλιαμα και τον λαον μου ευφροσυνην
[19] και αγαλλιασομαι επι ιερουσαλημ και ευφρανθησομαι επι τω λαω μου και ουκετι μη ακουσθη εν αυτη φωνη κλαυθμου ουδε φωνη κραυγης
[20] και ου μη γενηται εκει αωρος και πρεσβυτης ος ουκ εμπλησει τον χρονον αυτου εσται γαρ ο νεος εκατον ετων ο δε αποθνησκων αμαρτωλος εκατον ετων και επικαταρατος εσται
[21] και οικοδομησουσιν οικιας και αυτοι ενοικησουσιν και καταφυτευσουσιν αμπελωνας και αυτοι φαγονται τα γενηματα αυτων
[22] και ου μη οικοδομησουσιν και αλλοι ενοικησουσιν και ου μη φυτευσουσιν και αλλοι φαγονται κατα γαρ τας ημερας του ξυλου της ζωης εσονται αι ημεραι του λαου μου τα εργα των πονων αυτων παλαιωσουσιν
[23] οι δε εκλεκτοι μου ου κοπιασουσιν εις κενον ουδε τεκνοποιησουσιν εις καταραν οτι σπερμα ηυλογημενον υπο θεου εστιν και τα εκγονα αυτων μετ αυτων εσονται
[24] και εσται πριν κεκραξαι αυτους εγω επακουσομαι αυτων ετι λαλουντων αυτων ερω τι εστιν
[25] τοτε λυκοι και αρνες βοσκηθησονται αμα και λεων ως βους φαγεται αχυρα οφις δε γην ως αρτον ουκ αδικησουσιν ουδε μη λυμανουνται επι τω ορει τω αγιω μου λεγει κυριος
