Isaiah, Chapter 65, verses 1-16

¹ “I permitted Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I permitted Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me. I said, ‘Here am I, here am I,’ To a nation which did not call on My name. ² “I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, Who walk in the way which is not good,^a Lit afterfollowing their own thoughts, ³ A people who continually provoke Me to My face, Offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on bricks; ⁴ Who sit among graves and spend the night in secret places; Who eat swine’s flesh, And the broth of unclean meat is in their pots. ⁵ “Who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me, For I am holier than you!’ These are smoke in My^b Lit nosenostrils, A fire that burns all the day. ⁶ “Behold, it is written before Me, I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will even repay into their bosom, ⁷ Both^c Lit yourtheir own iniquities and the iniquities of their fathers together,” says the LORD. “Because they have burned incense on the mountains And scorned Me on the hills, Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”	1 Rom 9:24-26 Rom 10:20 Isa 63:19 Hos 1:10 2 Rom 10:21 Isa 1:2 Isa 1:23 Isa 30:1 Isa 30:9 Psa 81:11 Psa 81:12 Isa 59:7 Isa 66:18 3 Job 1:11 Job 2:5 Isa 3:8 Isa 1:29 Isa 66:17 Isa 66:3 4 Lev 11:7 Isa 66:3 Isa 66:17 5 Mat 9:11 Luk 7:39 Luk 18:9-12 6 Psa 50:3 Psa 50:21 Isa 42:14 Isa 64:12 Jer 16:18 7 Isa 13:11 Isa 22:14 Isa 26:21 Isa 30:13 Isa 30:14 Isa 57:7 Hos 2:13 Eze 20:27 Eze 20:28 Jer 5:29 Jer 13:25
⁸ Thus says the LORD,“As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is^d Lit blessingbenefit in it,’ So I will act on behalf of My servants In order not to destroy^e Lit the wholeall of them. ⁹“I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, And an heir of My mountains from Judah; Even My chosen ones shall inherit it, And My servants will dwell there. ¹⁰“Sharon will be a pasture land for flocks, And the valley of Achor a resting place for herds, For My people who seek Me. ¹¹“But you who forsake the LORD, Who forget My holy mountain, Who set a table for^f Heb GadFortune, And who fill cups with mixed wine for^g Heb MeniDestiny, ¹²I will destine you for the sword, And all of you will bow down to the slaughter. Because I called, but you did not answer; I spoke, but you did not hear. And you did evil in My sight And chose that in which I did not delight.”	8 Isa 1:9 Isa 10:21 Isa 10:22 Isa 48:9 9 Isa 45:19 Isa 45:25 Jer 31:36 Jer 31:37 Isa 49:8 Isa 60:21 Amo 9:11-15 Isa 57:13 Isa 32:18 10 Isa 33:9 Isa 35:2 Jos 7:24 Jos 7:26 Hos 2:15 Isa 51:1 Isa 55:6 11 Deu 29:24 Deu 29:25 Isa 1:4 Isa 1:28 Isa 2:2 Isa 2:3 Isa 66:20 12 Isa 27:1 Isa 34:5 Isa 34:6 Isa 66:16 Isa 63:6 Ch2 36:15 Ch2 36:16 Pro 1:24 Isa 41:28 Isa 50:2 Isa 66:4 Jer 7:13
¹³ Therefore, thus says the Lord^h Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD,“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 put to shame. ¹⁴“Behold, My servants will shout joyfully with a glad heart, But you will cry out with aⁱ Lit pain ofheavy heart, And you will wail with a broken spirit. ¹⁵“You will leave your name for a curse to My chosen ones, And the Lord^j Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD will slay you. But^kMy servants will be called by another name. ¹⁶“Because he who^l Or bless(es) himselfis blessed in the earth Will^m Or bless(es) himselfbe blessed by 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 sight!	13 Isa 1:19 Isa 8:21 Isa 41:17 Isa 41:18 Isa 49:10 Isa 5:13 Isa 61:7 Isa 66:14 Isa 42:17 Isa 44:9 Isa 44:11 Isa 66:5 14 Psa 66:4 Isa 51:11 Jam 5:13 Isa 13:6 Mat 8:12 15 Jer 24:9 Jer 25:18 Zec 8:13 Isa 62:2 16 Exo 34:6 Psa 31:5 Isa 19:18 Isa 45:23
