Isaiah 65

65I WAS [ready to be] inquired of by those who asked not; I was [ready to be] found by those who sought Me not. I said, Here I am, here I am [says I AM] to a nation [Israel] that has not called on My name.H1875H7592H3808H4672H1245H3808H559H1471H7121H80342I have spread out My hands all the day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts--H6566H3027H3117H5637H5971H1980H1870H2896H310H42843A people who provoke Me to My face continually, sacrificing [to idols] in gardens and burning incense upon bricks [instead of at God's prescribed altar];H5971H3707H8548H6440H2076H1593H6999H38434Who sit among the graves [trying to talk with the dead] and lodge among the secret places [or caves where familiar spirits were thought to dwell]; who eat swine's flesh, and the broth of abominable {and} loathsome things is in their vessels;H3427H6913H3885H5341H398H2386H1320H4839H6564H6292H36275Who say, Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am set apart from you [and lest I sanctify you]! These are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all the day.H559H7126H5066H6942H6227H639H784H3344H31176Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silence but will repay; yes, I will repay into their bosomH3789H6440H2814H7999H7999H24367Both your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers, says the Lord. Because they too burned incense upon the mountains and reviled {and} blasphemed Me upon the hills, therefore will I measure {and} stretch out their former doings into their own bosom.H5771H5771H1H3162H559H3068H6999H2022H2778H1389H4058H7223H6468H24368Thus says the Lord: As the juice [of the grape] is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it, so will I do for My servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.H559H3068H8492H4672H811H559H7843H1293H6213H5650H78439And I will bring forth an offspring from Jacob, and from Judah an inheritor of My mountains; My chosen {and} elect will inherit it, and My servants will dwell there.H3318H2233H3290H3063H3423H2022H972H3423H5650H793110And [the plain of] Sharon shall be a pasture {and} fold for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who seek Me, inquire of Me, {and} require Me [by right of their necessity and by right of My invitation].H8289H5116H6629H6010H5911H1241H7258H5971H187511But you who forsake the Lord, who forget {and} ignore My holy Mount [Zion], who prepare a table for Gad [the Babylonian god of fortune] and who furnish mixed drinks for Meni [the god of destiny]--H5800H3068H7913H6944H2022H6186H7979H1409H1408H4390H4469H450712I will destine you [says the Lord] for the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter, because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen {or} obey. But you did what was evil in My eyes, and you chose that in which I did not delight.H4487H2719H3766H2874H7121H6030H1696H8085H6213H7451H5869H977H265413Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame.H559H136H3069H5650H398H7456H5650H8354H6770H5650H8055H95414Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry out for pain {and} sorrow of heart and shall wail {and} howl for anguish, vexation, {and} breaking of spirit.H5650H7442H2898H3820H6817H3511H3820H3213H7667H730715And you will leave your name to My chosen [to those who will use it] for a curse; and the Lord God will slay you, but He will call His servants by another name [as much greater than the former name as the name Israel was greater than the name Jacob].H3240H8034H7621H972H136H3069H4191H7121H5650H312H803416So [it shall be] that he who invokes a blessing on himself in the land shall do so by saying, May the God of truth {and} fidelity [the Amen] bless me; and he who takes an oath in the land shall swear by the God of truth {and} faithfulness to His promises [the Amen], because the former troubles are forgotten and because they are hidden from My eyes.H1288H776H1288H430H543H7650H776H7650H430H543H7223H6869H7911H5641H586917For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth. And the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.H1254H2319H8064H2319H776H7223H2142H5927H382018But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a rejoicing and her people a joy.H7797H1523H5703H1254H1254H3389H1525H5971H488519And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; and the sound of weeping will no more be heard in it, nor the cry of distress.H1523H3389H7797H5971H6963H1065H8085H6963H220120There shall no more be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who dies prematurely; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner who dies when only a hundred years old shall be [thought only a child, cut off because he is] accursed.H5764H3117H2205H4390H3117H5288H4191H3967H8141H1121H2398H3967H8141H1121H704321They shall build houses and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.H1129H1004H3427H5193H3754H398H652922They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat [the fruit]. For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, and My chosen {and} elect shall long make use of {and} enjoy the work of their hands.H1129H312H3427H5193H312H398H3117H6086H3117H5971H972H1086H4639H302723They shall not labor in vain or bring forth [children] for sudden terror {or} calamity; for they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.H3021H7385H3205H928H2233H1288H3068H663124And it shall be that before they call I will answer; and while they are yet speaking I will hear.H7121H6030H1696H808525The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy Mount [Zion], says the Lord.H2061H2924H7462H259H738H398H8401H1241H6083H5175H3899H7489H7843H6944H2022H559H3068

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
