Isaiah: 66

66:10Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

66:11Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

66:11That 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.

66:12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

66:12For 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.

66:13I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

66:13As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

66:14Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

66:14And 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.

66:15For, 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.

66:15I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

66:16For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

66:16Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

66:17They 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.

66:17I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

66:18For 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.

66:18If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

66:19But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

66:19And 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.

66:20And 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.

66:20Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

66:21And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.

66:22For 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.

66:23And 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.

66:24And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

67:1(To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.) God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

67:2That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

67:3Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

67:4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

67:5Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

67:6Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

67:7God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

68:1(To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.) Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

68:2As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

68:3But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

68:4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

68:5A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

68:6God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

68:7O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:

68:8The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

68:9Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.

68:10Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

68:11The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

68:12Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

68:13Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

68:14When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.

68:15The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.

68:16Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.

68:17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

68:18Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
