Isaiah:65
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I am sought by asked not ;
I am found by sought me not :
I said ,
Behold me ,
behold me ,
to a nation was not called by my name .
*
I have spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people ,
who walketh in a way not good ,
after their own thoughts ;
*
A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face ;
that sacrificeth in gardens ,
and burneth incense upon altars of brick ; (
note :)
upon …:
Hebrews .
upon bricks (:
note )
*
Which remain among the graves ,
and lodge in the monuments ,
which eat swine ’
s flesh ,
and broth of abominable their vessels ; (
note :)
broth :
or ,
pieces (:
note )
*
Who say ,
Stand by thyself ,
come not near to me ;
for I am holier than thou .
These a smoke in my nose ,
a fire that burneth all the day . (
note :)
nose :
or ,
anger (:
note )
*
Behold ,
written before me :
I will not keep silence ,
but will recompense ,
even recompense into their bosom ,
*
Your iniquities ,
and the iniquities of your fathers together ,
saith the LORD ,
who have burned incense upon the mountains ,
and blasphemed me upon the hills :
therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom .
*
Thus saith the LORD ,
As the new wine is found in the cluster ,
and saith ,
Destroy it not ;
for a blessing in it :
so will I do for my servants ’
sake ,
that I may not destroy them all .
*
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob ,
and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains :
and my elect shall inherit it ,
and my servants shall dwell there .
*
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 .
*
But ye they that forsake the LORD ,
that forget my holy mountain ,
that prepare a table for that troop ,
and that furnish the drink offering to that number . (
note :)
troop :
or ,
Gad (:

number :
or ,
Meni ,
a pagan god
*
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 spoke ,
ye did not hear ;
but did evil before my eyes ,
and did choose in which I delighted not .
*
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 :
*
Behold ,
my servants shall sing for joy of heart ,
but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart ,
and shall wail for vexation of spirit . (
note :)
vexation :
Hebrews .
breaking (:
note )
*
And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen :
for the Lord GOD shall slay thee ,
and call his servants by another name :
*
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 my eyes .
*
For ,
behold ,
I create new heavens and a new earth :
and the former shall not be remembered ,
nor come into mind . (
note :)
come …:
Hebrews .
come upon the heart (:
note )
*
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever which I create :
for ,
behold ,
I create Jerusalem a rejoicing ,
and her people a joy .
*
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 .
*
There shall be no more there 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 an hundred years old shall be accursed .
*
And they shall build houses ,
and inhabit ;
and they shall plant vineyards ,
and eat the fruit of them .
*
They shall not build ,
and another inhabit ;
they shall not plant ,
and another eat :
for as the days of a tree the days of my people ,
and my elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands . (
note :)
shall long …:
Hebrews .
shall make them continue long ,
or ,
shall wear out (:
note )
*
They shall not labour in vain ,
nor bring forth for trouble ;
for they the seed of the blessed of the LORD ,
and their offspring with them .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that before they call ,
I will answer ;
and while they are yet speaking ,
I will hear .
*
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together ,
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox :
and dust the serpent ’
s food .
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain ,
saith the LORD .
