Today's New International Version Help
66This is what the LORD says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?H559H3068H8064H3678H776H7272H1916H1004H1129H4725H4496
2Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?" declares the LORD. "These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.H3027H6213H5002H3068H5027H6041H5223H7307H2730H1697
3But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a human being, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog's neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig's blood, and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol. They have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations;H7819H7794H5221H376H2076H7716H6202H3611H6202H5927H4503H2386H1818H2142H3828H1288H205H977H1870H5315H2654H8251
4so I also will choose harsh treatment for them and will bring on them what they dread. For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me."H977H8586H935H4035H7121H6030H1696H8085H6213H7451H5869H977H2654
5Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at his word: "Your own people who hate you, and exclude you because of my name, have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy!' Yet they will be put to shame.H8085H1697H3068H2730H1697H251H8130H5077H8034H559H3068H3513H7200H8057H954
6Hear that uproar from the city, hear that noise from the temple! It is the sound of the LORD repaying his enemies all they deserve.H6963H7588H5892H6963H1964H6963H3068H7999H1576H341
7"Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a child.H2342H3205H2256H935H4422H2145
8Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children.H8085H7200H776H2342H259H3117H1471H3205H6471H1571H6726H2342H3205H1121
9Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God.H7665H3205H559H3068H589H3205H6113H559H430
10"Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her.H8055H3389H1523H157H7797H4885H56
11For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance."H3243H7646H7699H8575H4711H6026H2123H3519
12For this is what the LORD says: "I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees.H559H3068H5186H7965H5104H3519H1471H7857H5158H3243H5375H6654H8173H1290
13As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem."H376H517H5162H5162H5162H3389
14When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes.H7200H3820H7797H6106H6524H1877H3027H3068H3045H5650H2194H341
15See, the LORD is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.H3068H935H784H4818H5492H7725H639H2534H1606H3851H784
16For with fire and with his sword the LORD will execute judgment on all people, and many will be those slain by the LORD.H784H2719H3068H8199H1320H2491H3068H7231
17"Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things—they will meet their end together with the one they follow," declares the LORD.H6942H2891H1593H310H259H8432H398H2386H1320H8263H5909H5486H3162H5002H3068
18"And I, because of what they have planned and done, am about to come and gather the people of all nations and languages, and they will come and see my glory.H4639H4284H935H6908H1471H3956H935H7200H3519
19"I will set a sign among them, and I will send some of those who survive to the nations—to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant islands that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations.H7760H226H7971H6412H1471H8659H6322H3865H4900H7198H8422H3120H339H7350H8085H8088H7200H3519H5046H3519H1471
20And they will bring all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the LORD—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels," says the LORD. "They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the LORD in ceremonially clean vessels.H935H251H4503H3068H1471H5483H7393H6632H6505H3753H6944H2022H3389H559H3068H1121H3478H935H4503H2889H3627H1004H3068
21And I will select some of them also to be priests and Levites," says the LORD.H3947H3548H3881H559H3068
22"As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me," declares the LORD, "so will your name and descendants endure.H2319H8064H2319H776H6213H5975H6440H5002H3068H2233H8034H5975
23From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all people will come and bow down before me," says the LORD.H1767H2320H2320H1767H7676H7676H1320H935H7812H6440H559H3068
24"And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to the whole human race."H3318H7200H6297H582H6586H8438H4191H784H3518H1860H1320
