noyes@Isaiah:65:2 @ I have spread out my hands all the day To a rebellious people, That walketh in an evil way, According to their own devices;
noyes@Isaiah:65:3 @ To a people that provoke me to my face continually; That sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on tiles;
noyes@Isaiah:65:4 @ That sit in sepulchres, And lodge in caverns; That eat swines flesh, And have broth of unclean things in their vessels;
noyes@Isaiah:65:5 @ Who yet 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 continually.

noyes@Isaiah:65:12 @ Yourselves do I destine to the sword, And all of you shall bow down before the slaughter; Because I called, and ye answered not, I spake, and ye would not hear, But did that which is evil in my sight, And chose that in which I had no delight.
noyes@Isaiah:65:13 @ Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry; Behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; Behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be confounded;
noyes@Isaiah:65:14 @ Behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, But ye shall shriek for sorrow of heart, And howl for anguish of spirit.
