Isaiah 66 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?

KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H559 Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H8064 , The heaven H3678 is my throne H776 , and the earth H7272 is my footstool H1916 H1004 : where is the house H1129 that ye build [H8799] H4725 unto me? and where is the place H4496 of my rest?

2 H3027 For all those things hath mine hand H6213 made [H8804] H5002 , and all those things have been, saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H5027 : but to this man will I look [H8686] H6041 , even to him that is poor H5223 and of a contrite H7307 spirit H2730 , and trembleth H1697 at my word.

3 H7819 He that killeth [H8802] H7794 an ox H5221 is as if he slew [H8688] H376 a man H2076 ; he that sacrificeth [H8802] H7716 a lamb H6202 , as if he cut off H3611 a dog's H6202 neck [H8802] H5927 ; he that offereth [H8688] H4503 an oblation H2386 , as if he offered swine's H1818 blood H2142 ; he that burneth [H8688] H3828 incense H1288 , as if he blessed [H8764] H205 an idol H977 . Yea, they have chosen [H8804] H1870 their own ways H5315 , and their soul H2654 delighteth [H8804] H8251 in their abominations.

4 H977 I also will choose [H8799] H8586 their delusions H935 , and will bring [H8686] H4035 their fears H7121 upon them; because when I called [H8804] H6030 , none did answer [H8802] H1696 ; when I spake [H8765] H8085 , they did not hear [H8804] H6213 : but they did [H8799] H7451 evil H5869 before mine eyes H977 , and chose [H8804] H2654 that in which I delighted [H8804] not.

5 H8085 Hear [H8798] H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD H2730 , ye that tremble H1697 at his word H251 ; Your brethren H8130 that hated [H8802] H5077 you, that cast you out [H8764] H8034 for my name's H559 sake, said [H8804] H3068 , Let the LORD H3513 be glorified [H8799] H7200 : but he shall appear [H8737] H8057 to your joy H954 , and they shall be ashamed [H8799] .

6 H6963 A voice H7588 of noise H5892 from the city H6963 , a voice H1964 from the temple H6963 , a voice H3068 of the LORD H7999 that rendereth [H8764] H1576 recompence H341 to his enemies [H8802] .

7 H2342 Before she travailed [H8799] H3205 , she brought forth [H8804] H2256 ; before her pain H935 came [H8799] H4422 , she was delivered [H8689] H2145 of a man child.

8 H8085 Who hath heard [H8804] H7200 such a thing? who hath seen [H8804] H776 such things? Shall the earth H2342 be made to bring forth [H8714] H259 in one H3117 day H1471 ? or shall a nation H3205 be born [H8735] H6471 at once H1571 ? for as soon as H6726 Zion H2342 travailed [H8804] H3205 , she brought forth [H8804] H1121 her children.

9 H7665 Shall I bring to the birth [H8686] H3205 , and not cause to bring forth [H8686] H559 ? saith [H8799] H3068 the LORD H589 : shall I H3205 cause to bring forth [H8688] H6113 , and shut [H8804] H559 the womb ? saith [H8804] H430 thy God.

10 H8055 Rejoice [H8798] H3389 ye with Jerusalem H1523 , and be glad [H8798] H157 with her, all ye that love [H8802] H7797 her: rejoice [H8798] H4885 for joy H56 with her, all ye that mourn [H8693] for her:

11 H3243 That ye may suck [H8799] H7646 , and be satisfied [H8804] H7699 with the breasts H8575 of her consolations H4711 ; that ye may milk out [H8799] H6026 , and be delighted [H8694] H2123 with the abundance H3519 of her glory.

12 H559 For thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H5186 , Behold, I will extend [H8802] H7965 peace H5104 to her like a river H3519 , and the glory H1471 of the Gentiles H7857 like a flowing [H8802] H5158 stream H3243 : then shall ye suck [H8804] H5375 , ye shall be borne [H8735] H6654 upon her sides H8173 , and be dandled [H8746] H1290 upon her knees.

13 H376 As one H517 whom his mother H5162 comforteth [H8762] H5162 , so will I comfort [H8762] H5162 you; and ye shall be comforted [H8792] H3389 in Jerusalem.

14 H7200 And when ye see [H8804] H3820 this, your heart H7797 shall rejoice [H8804] H6106 , and your bones H6524 shall flourish [H8799] H1877 like an herb H3027 : and the hand H3068 of the LORD H3045 shall be known [H8738] H5650 toward his servants H2194 , and his indignation [H8804] H341 toward his enemies [H8802] .

15 H3068 For, behold, the LORD H935 will come [H8799] H784 with fire H4818 , and with his chariots H5492 like a whirlwind H7725 , to render [H8687] H639 his anger H2534 with fury H1606 , and his rebuke H3851 with flames H784 of fire.

16 H784 For by fire H2719 and by his sword H3068 will the LORD H8199 plead [H8737] H1320 with all flesh H2491 : and the slain H3068 of the LORD H7231 shall be many [H8804] .

17 H6942 They that sanctify [H8693] H2891 themselves, and purify [H8693] H1593 themselves in the gardens H310 behind H259 one H8432 tree in the midst H398 , eating [H8802] H2386 swine's H1320 flesh H8263 , and the abomination H5909 , and the mouse H5486 , shall be consumed [H8799] H3162 together H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD.

18 H4639 For I know their works H4284 and their thoughts H935 : it shall come [H8802] H6908 , that I will gather [H8763] H1471 all nations H3956 and tongues H935 ; and they shall come [H8804] H7200 , and see [H8804] H3519 my glory.

19 H7760 And I will set [H8804] H226 a sign H7971 among them, and I will send [H8765] H6412 those that escape H1471 of them unto the nations H8659 , to Tarshish H6322 , Pul H3865 , and Lud H4900 , that draw [H8802] H7198 the bow H8422 , to Tubal H3120 , and Javan H339 , to the isles H7350 afar off H8085 , that have not heard [H8804] H8088 my fame H7200 , neither have seen [H8804] H3519 my glory H5046 ; and they shall declare [H8689] H3519 my glory H1471 among the Gentiles.

20 H935 And they shall bring [H8689] H251 all your brethren H4503 for an offering H3068 unto the LORD H1471 out of all nations H5483 upon horses H7393 , and in chariots H6632 , and in litters H6505 , and upon mules H3753 , and upon swift beasts H6944 , to my holy H2022 mountain H3389 Jerusalem H559 , saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H1121 , as the children H3478 of Israel H935 bring [H8686] H4503 an offering H2889 in a clean H3627 vessel H1004 into the house H3068 of the LORD.

21 H3947 And I will also take [H8799] H3548 of them for priests H3881 and for Levites H559 , saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD.

22 H2319 For as the new H8064 heavens H2319 and the new H776 earth H6213 , which I will make [H8802] H5975 , shall remain [H8802] H6440 before H5002 me, saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H2233 , so shall your seed H8034 and your name H5975 remain [H8799] .

23 H1767 And it shall come to pass, that from H2320 one new moon H2320 to another H1767 , and from H7676 one sabbath H7676 to another H1320 , shall all flesh H935 come [H8799] H7812 to worship [H8692] H6440 before H559 me, saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD.

24 H3318 And they shall go forth [H8804] H7200 , and look [H8804] H6297 upon the carcases H582 of the men H6586 that have transgressed [H8802] H8438 against me: for their worm H4191 shall not die [H8799] H784 , neither shall their fire H3518 be quenched [H8799] H1860 ; and they shall be an abhorring H1320 unto all flesh.
