Isa 65
1 Judgment and Deliverance
[
2apparent
1I became] to the ones [
3for me
1not
2seeking]. I was found
by the ones [
3for me
1not
2asking]. I said, Behold, I am -- to the nation, the ones who did not call of me
by name.
2I spread forth my hands
the entire day to a people resisting persuasion and speaking contrary; the ones not having gone [
2way
1the good], but after their sins.
3 This people, the one provoking me, [
2before
3me
1is always]. They sacrifice in the gardens, and they burn incense upon the bricks to the demons which are not.
4And in the tombs in the caves they sleep for the sake of dreams; the ones eating meat of a pig, and
the broth of sacrifices. [
3are tainted
1All
2their vessels].
5The ones saying, Be at a distance from me, you should not approach me, for I am clean. This
is the smoke of my rage; a fire burns with it all the days.
6Behold, it is written in my presence, I shall not keep silent until whenever I recompense. And I will recompense unto their bosom
7 their sins, and the ones of their fathers, says
the LORD, the ones
that burnt incense upon the mountains, and [
3upon
4the
5hills
1berated
2me]. I will recompense their works into their bosom.
8Thus says
the LORD, In which manner [
3shall be found
1the
2grape-stone] in the cluster of grapes, and they shall say, You should not lay it waste, for there is a blessing in it; so I will do because of the ones serving me -- [
2this one
1because of] in no way shall I destroy all.
9And I shall lead out the one of [
2of Jacob
1the seed], and the one of Judah. And he shall inherit [
3mountain
2holy
1my], and [
4shall inherit it
1my chosen
2and
3my servants], and they shall dwell there.
10And there shall be in the grove folds of flocks; and
the ravine of Achor
shall be for a resting
place of herds
for my people, the ones who sought me.
11But you
are the ones having abandoned me, and having forgotten [
2mountain
1my holy], and
are preparing [
2to the
3demon
1a table], and filling [
2to good luck
1a mixture].
12I will deliver you unto
the sword. [
2all
4by
5slaughter
1You shall
3fall], for I called you and you hearkened not; I spoke, and you disregarded, and you did the wicked
thing before me, and what I did not want you chose.
13On account of this, Thus says
the LORD, Behold, the ones serving to me shall eat, but you shall hunger. Behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall thirst. Behold, the ones serving me shall be glad, but you shall be ashamed.
14Behold, the ones serving me shall exult in gladness, but you shall cry out because of the misery of your heart; and from
the destruction of your spirit you shall shriek.
15For you shall leave behind your name for a glut
to my chosen, [
4you
1and
3shall do away with
2the LORD]. But to the ones that serve to me, they shall be called [
2name
1by a new],
16which shall be blessed upon the earth. For they shall bless the [
2God
1true]. And the ones swearing by an oath upon the earth shall swear by an oath on the [
2God
1true]. For they shall forget [
3affliction
1their
2first], and it shall not ascend unto their heart.
17 A New Heaven and Earth
For there will be the [
2heaven
1new], and the [
2earth
1new]. And in no way shall they remember the former
things, nor in any way shall it come upon their heart.
18But [
4gladness
5and
6a leap for joy
1they shall find
2in
3her]. For behold, I make Jerusalem a leap for joy, and over my people
for gladness.
19And I shall exult over Jerusalem, and shall be glad over my people. And no longer shall there be heard in her a voice of weeping, nor a voice of crying;
20nor in any way shall there be yet an untimely
miscarriage,
nor an old man who shall not fill up his time. [
4will be
1For
2the
3young man] a hundred years
old, and the [
4dying
1sinner
5at a hundred
6years
old 3accursed
2will be].
21And they shall build residences, and they shall dwell in
them. And they shall plant vineyards, and they shall eat their produce, and [
2the
3wine
1shall drink].
22In no way shall they build and another dwell therein. And in no way shall they plant and another eat
of it. For according to the days of the [
2of a tree
1life] will be the days of my people, for the works of their hands shall grow old.
23 And my chosen shall not tire in empty
things, nor shall they produce children for a curse; for [
2a seed
3being blessed
4by
5God
1it is], and their progeny with them.
24And it will be before their crying out, I will hearken unto them; yet during their speaking I will say, What is
it?
25Then wolves and lambs shall graze together; and
the lion [
3as
4an ox
1shall eat
2straw]; and
the serpent
shall eat of the earth as bread; they shall not do wrong nor lay waste upon [
2mountain
1my holy], says
the LORD.
