lesserot@Isaiah:65:1 @ I allowed myself to be sought by those that asked not; I let myself be found by those that sought me not: I said, Here am I, here am I, unto a nation that called itself not by my name.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:2 @ I spread out my hands all the time unto a rebellious people, that walk in the way which is not good, after their own thoughts;

lesserot@Isaiah:65:3 @ the people that provoke me to anger to my face continually; that sacrifice in gardens and burn incense upon brick,

lesserot@Isaiah:65:4 @ That sit about among the graves, and lodge in the vaults, that eat the flesh of the swine, and broth of abominations their vessels;

lesserot@Isaiah:65:5 @ That 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 time.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:6 @ Behold, it is written before me; I will not keep silence, till I have recompensed, yea, recompensed into their bosom.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:7 @ Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have burnt incense upon the mountains, and upon the hills have blasphemed me: and I will measure out their work at first into their bosom.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:8 @ Thus hath said the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster of grapes, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it; so will I do for the sake of my servants, that I will not destroy the whole;

lesserot@Isaiah:65:9 @ And I let come forth out of Jacob a seed, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:10 @ And Sharon shall become a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a restingplace for herds, for my people that have sought me.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:11 @ But ye who forsake the Lord, who forget my holy mountain, that set out a table for the god of Fortune, and that fill for Destiny the drinkoffering.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:12 @ Yea, I will destine you to the sword, and all of you shall kneel down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spoke, ye did not hear; but ye did what is evil in my eyes, and that wherein I had no delight did ye choose.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:13 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, 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 made ashamed;

lesserot@Isaiah:65:14 @ Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry out from pain of heart, and from a broken spirit shall ye howl;

lesserot@Isaiah:65:15 @ And ye shall leave behind your name for an oath unto my elect ones, when the Lord Eternal will slay thee; but his servants will he call by another name.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:16 @ Whoever there be that blesseth himself on the earth shall bless himself by the true God; and that sweareth on the earth shall swear by the true God; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:17 @ For, behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind;

lesserot@Isaiah:65:18 @ But be ye glad and rejoice unto all eternity in what I create; for, behold, I will create Jerusalem for rejoicing, and her people for gladness.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:19 @ And I will rejoice over Jerusalem, and be glad in my people: and there shall not be heard in her any more the voice of weeping, nor the voice of complaint.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:20 @ There shall no more come thence an infant of few days, nor an old man that shall not have the full length of his days; for as a lad shall one die a hundred years old; and as a sinner shall be accursed he who at a hundred years old.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:21 @ And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:22 @ 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 the work of their hands shall my elect wear out.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:23 @ They shall not toil in vain, nor bring forth unto an early death; for the seed of the blessed of the Lord are they, and their offspring with them.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:24 @ And it shall come to pass, that before yet they call will I answer; and while they are still speaking will I hear.

lesserot@Isaiah:65:25 @ The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall like the bullock eat straw: and the serpentdust shall be his food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:1 @ Thus hath said the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is there a house that ye can build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

lesserot@Isaiah:66:2 @ For all these things hath my hand made, that all these things came into being, saith the Lord; but upon such a one will I look, upon the poor, and him who is of a contrite spirit, and who trembleth at my word.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:3 @ He that slaughtereth the ox, slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh the neck of a dog; he that offereth a meatoffering, swines blood; he that burneth incense, blesseth an idol: yea, they have made choice of their own ways, and in their abominations doth their soul delight.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:4 @ So will I also make choice of their misfortune, and what they dread will I bring upon them; because I called, and none did answer; I spoke, and they did not hear; and they did what is evil in my eyes, and that in which I delighted not did they choose.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:5 @ Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for the sake of my name, said, "Let the Lord be glorified;" but he will appear to your joy, and they shall be made ashamed.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:6 @ a voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord who rendereth recompense to his enemies.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:7 @ Before she had travailed she brought forth; before yet her pain was come, she was delivered of a manchild.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:8 @ Who hath heard the like? who hath seen such things? shall a land be made to travail in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? that Zion hath travailed, also brought forth her children?

lesserot@Isaiah:66:9 @ Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord; or shall I who cause to bring forth, now prevent it? saith thy God.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:10 @ Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be delighted over her, all ye that love her; be highly glad with her, all ye that mourn for her.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:11 @ In order that ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolations; in order that ye may sip, and find pleasure from the abundance of her glory.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:12 @ For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will extend to her peace like a river, and like a rapid stream the glory of nations, that ye may suck: upon the arm shall ye be borne, and upon knees shall ye be dandled.

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

lesserot@Isaiah:66:14 @ And ye shall see this, and your heart shall be glad, and your bones shall flourish like the grass; and then will be known the hand of the Lord on his servants, and he will be indignant toward his enemies.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:15 @ For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots will be like the stormwind, to send forth his anger with fury, and his threatening with flames of fire.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:16 @ For by fire will the Lord judge, and by his sword against all flesh: and many shall be the slain of the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:17 @ They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves for the gardens, behind one tree in the midst, they who eat the flesh of the swine, and the abomination, and the mouse, together shall they perish, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:18 @ And I, because of their works and their thoughts, will let it come to pass to gather all the nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:19 @ And I will display a sign on them, and I will send from them those that escape unto the nations, Tharshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, Thubal, and Javan, the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, and have not seen my glory; and they shall proclaim my glory among the nations.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:20 @ And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations as an offering unto the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring the offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:21 @ And of them also will I take for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:22 @ For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall have permanence before me, saith the Lord, so shall exist permanently your seed and your name.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:23 @ And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to the other new moon, and from one sabbath to the other sabbath, shall all flesh come to prostrate themselves before me, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:66:24 @ And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me; for their worm shall not die, nor shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence unto all flesh.
