Isaiah 66 (WEBP)

[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.”

Isaiah 66 (KJVS)

[1] Thus saith () the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build () unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
[2] For all those things hath mine hand made, () and all those things have been, saith () the Lord: but to this man will I look, () even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
[3] He that killeth () an ox is as if he slew () a man; he that sacrificeth () a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; () he that offereth () an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth () incense, as if he blessed () an idol. Yea, they have chosen () their own ways, and their soul delighteth () in their abominations.
[4] I also will choose () their delusions, and will bring () their fears upon them; because when I called, () none did answer; () when I spake, () they did not hear: () but they did () evil before mine eyes, and chose () that in which I delighted () not.
[5] Hear () the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated () you, that cast you out () for my name’s sake, said, () Let the Lord be glorified: () but he shall appear () to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. ()
[6] A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth () recompence to his enemies. ()
[7] Before she travailed, () she brought forth; () before her pain came, () she was delivered () of a man child.
[8] Who hath heard () such a thing? who hath seen () such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth () in one day? or shall a nation be born () at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, () she brought forth () her children.
[9] Shall I bring to the birth, () and not cause to bring forth? () saith () the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, () and shut () the womb? saith () thy God.
[10] Rejoice () ye with Jerusalem, and be glad () with her, all ye that love () her: rejoice () for joy with her, all ye that mourn () for her:
[11] that ye may suck, () and be satisfied () with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, () and be delighted () with the abundance of her glory.
[12] For thus saith () the Lord, Behold, I will extend () peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing () stream: then shall ye suck, () ye shall be borne () upon her sides, and be dandled () upon her knees.
[13] As one whom his mother comforteth, () so will I comfort () you; and ye shall be comforted () in Jerusalem.
[14] And when ye see () this, your heart shall rejoice, () and your bones shall flourish () like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known () toward his servants, and his indignation () toward his enemies. ()
[15] For, behold, the Lord will come () with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render () his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
[16] For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead () with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many. ()
[17] They that sanctify () themselves, and purify () themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating () swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed () together, saith () the Lord.
[18] For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, () that I will gather () all nations and tongues; and they shall come, () and see () my glory.
[19] And I will set () a sign among them, and I will send () those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw () the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard () my fame, neither have seen () my glory; and they shall declare () my glory among the Gentiles.
[20] And they shall bring () all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith () the Lord, as the children of Israel bring () an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
[21] And I will also take () of them for priests and for Levites, saith () the Lord.
[22] For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, () shall remain () before me, saith () the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. ()
[23] And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come () to worship () before me, saith () the Lord.

Isaiah 66 (BYZ)

[1] ουτως λεγει κυριος ο ουρανος μοι θρονος η δε γη υποποδιον των ποδων μου ποιον οικον οικοδομησετε μοι η ποιος τοπος της καταπαυσεως μου
[2] παντα γαρ ταυτα εποιησεν η χειρ μου και εστιν εμα παντα ταυτα λεγει κυριος και επι τινα επιβλεψω αλλ η επι τον ταπεινον και ησυχιον και τρεμοντα τους λογους μου
[3] ο δε ανομος ο θυων μοι μοσχον ως ο αποκτεννων κυνα ο δε αναφερων σεμιδαλιν ως αιμα υειον ο διδους λιβανον εις μνημοσυνον ως βλασφημος και ουτοι εξελεξαντο τας οδους αυτων και τα βδελυγματα αυτων α η ψυχη αυτων ηθελησεν
[4] καγω εκλεξομαι τα εμπαιγματα αυτων και τας αμαρτιας ανταποδωσω αυτοις οτι εκαλεσα αυτους και ουχ υπηκουσαν μου ελαλησα και ουκ ηκουσαν και εποιησαν το πονηρον εναντιον μου και α ουκ εβουλομην εξελεξαντο
[5] ακουσατε το ρημα κυριου οι τρεμοντες τον λογον αυτου ειπατε αδελφοι ημων τοις μισουσιν ημας και βδελυσσομενοις ινα το ονομα κυριου δοξασθη και οφθη εν τη ευφροσυνη αυτων κακεινοι αισχυνθησονται
[6] φωνη κραυγης εκ πολεως φωνη εκ ναου φωνη κυριου ανταποδιδοντος ανταποδοσιν τοις αντικειμενοις
[7] πριν η την ωδινουσαν τεκειν πριν ελθειν τον πονον των ωδινων εξεφυγεν και ετεκεν αρσεν
[8] τις ηκουσεν τοιουτο και τις εωρακεν ουτως η ωδινεν γη εν μια ημερα η και ετεχθη εθνος εις απαξ οτι ωδινεν και ετεκεν σιων τα παιδια αυτης
[9] εγω δε εδωκα την προσδοκιαν ταυτην και ουκ εμνησθης μου ειπεν κυριος ουκ ιδου εγω γεννωσαν και στειραν εποιησα ειπεν ο θεος
[10] ευφρανθητι ιερουσαλημ και πανηγυρισατε εν αυτη παντες οι αγαπωντες αυτην χαρητε χαρα παντες οσοι πενθειτε επ αυτης
[11] ινα θηλασητε και εμπλησθητε απο μαστου παρακλησεως αυτης ινα εκθηλασαντες τρυφησητε απο εισοδου δοξης αυτης
[12] οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω εκκλινω εις αυτους ως ποταμος ειρηνης και ως χειμαρρους επικλυζων δοξαν εθνων τα παιδια αυτων επ ωμων αρθησονται και επι γονατων παρακληθησονται
[13] ως ει τινα μητηρ παρακαλεσει ουτως και εγω παρακαλεσω υμας και εν ιερουσαλημ παρακληθησεσθε
[14] και οψεσθε και χαρησεται υμων η καρδια και τα οστα υμων ως βοτανη ανατελει και γνωσθησεται η χειρ κυριου τοις σεβομενοις αυτον και απειλησει τοις απειθουσιν
[15] ιδου γαρ κυριος ως πυρ ηξει και ως καταιγις τα αρματα αυτου αποδουναι εν θυμω εκδικησιν και αποσκορακισμον εν φλογι πυρος
[16] εν γαρ τω πυρι κυριου κριθησεται πασα η γη και εν τη ρομφαια αυτου πασα σαρξ πολλοι τραυματιαι εσονται υπο κυριου
[17] οι αγνιζομενοι και καθαριζομενοι εις τους κηπους και εν τοις προθυροις εσθοντες κρεας υειον και τα βδελυγματα και τον νυν επι το αυτο αναλωθησονται ειπεν κυριος
[18] καγω τα εργα αυτων και τον λογισμον αυτων επισταμαι ερχομαι συναγαγειν παντα τα εθνη και τας γλωσσας και ηξουσιν και οψονται την δοξαν μου
[19] και καταλειψω επ αυτων σημεια και εξαποστελω εξ αυτων σεσωσμενους εις τα εθνη εις θαρσις και φουδ και λουδ και μοσοχ και θοβελ και εις την ελλαδα και εις τας νησους τας πορρω οι ουκ ακηκοασιν μου το ονομα ουδε εωρακασιν την δοξαν μου και αναγγελουσιν μου την δοξαν εν τοις εθνεσιν
[20] και αξουσιν τους αδελφους υμων εκ παντων των εθνων δωρον κυριω μεθ ιππων και αρματων εν λαμπηναις ημιονων μετα σκιαδιων εις την αγιαν πολιν ιερουσαλημ ειπεν κυριος ως αν ενεγκαισαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εμοι τας θυσιας αυτων μετα ψαλμων εις τον οικον κυριου
[21] και απ αυτων λημψομαι εμοι ιερεις και λευιτας ειπεν κυριος
[22] ον τροπον γαρ ο ουρανος καινος και η γη καινη α εγω ποιω μενει ενωπιον μου λεγει κυριος ουτως στησεται το σπερμα υμων και το ονομα υμων
[23] και εσται μηνα εκ μηνος και σαββατον εκ σαββατου ηξει πασα σαρξ ενωπιον μου προσκυνησαι εν ιερουσαλημ ειπεν κυριος
[24] και εξελευσονται και οψονται τα κωλα των ανθρωπων των παραβεβηκοτων εν εμοι ο γαρ σκωληξ αυτων ου τελευτησει και το πυρ αυτων ου σβεσθησεται και εσονται εις ορασιν παση σαρκι
