Isaiah Chapter 64

1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, 
that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

2 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, 
to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may 
tremble at thy presence!

3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest 
down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived 
by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath 
prepared for him that waiteth for him.

5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that 
remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: 
in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as 
filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the 
wind, have taken us away.

7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself 
to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast 
consumed us, because of our iniquities.

8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our 
potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: 
behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a 
desolation.

11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is 
burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold 
thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

Isaiah Chapter 65

1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that 
sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not 
called by my name.

2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which 
walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;

3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that 
sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat 
swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than 
thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will 
recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith 
the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed 
me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their 
bosom.

8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one 
saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my 
servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an 
inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my 
servants shall dwell there.

10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place 
for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

11 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, 
that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering 
unto that number.

12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down 
to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I 
spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose 
that wherein I delighted not.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but 
ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be 
thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for 
sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord 
GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:

16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the 
God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God 
of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they 
are hid from mine eyes.

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former 
shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, 
behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice 
of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that 
hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; 
but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant 
vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and 
another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and 
mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they 
are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and 
while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat 
straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall 
not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

Isaiah Chapter 66

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.

24 And 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.
