Isaiah:66:8-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Who hath heard such a thing ?
who hath seen such things ?
Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day ?
or shall a nation be born at once pa #
am #?
for as soon as Zion travailed ,
she brought forth her children .
*
Shall I bring to the birth ,
and not cause to bring forth ?
saith the LORD :
shall I cause to bring forth ,
and shut the womb ?
saith thy God .
*
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem ,
and be glad with her ,
all ye that love her :
rejoice for joy with her ,
all ye that mourn for her :
*
That ye may suck ,
and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations ;
that ye may milk out ,
and be delighted with the abundance of her glory .
*
For thus saith the LORD ,
Behold ,
I will extend peace to her like a river ,
and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream :
then shall ye suck ,
ye shall be borne upon her sides ,
and be dandled upon her knees .
*
As one whom his mother comforteth ,
so will I comfort you ;
and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem .
*
And when ye see this ,
your heart shall rejoice ,
and your bones shall flourish like an herb :
and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants ,
and his indignation toward his enemies .
*
For ,
behold ,
the LORD will come with fire ,
and with his chariots like a whirlwind ,
to render his anger with fury ,
and his rebuke with flames of fire .
*
For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh :
and the slain of the LORD shall be many .
*
They that sanctify themselves ,
and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst ,
eating swines flesh ,
and the abomination ,
and the mouse ,
shall be consumed together ,
saith the LORD .
*
For I know their works and their thoughts :
it shall come ,
that I will gather all nations and tongues ;
and they shall come ,
and see my glory .
*
And I will set a sign among them ,
and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations ,
to Tarshish ,
Pul ,
and Lud ,
that draw the bow ,
to Tubal ,
and Javan ,
to the isles afar off ,
that have not heard my fame ,
neither have seen my glory ;
and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles .
*
And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses ,
and in chariots ,
and in litters ,
and upon mules ,
and upon swift beasts ,
to my holy mountain Jerusalem ,
saith the LORD ,
as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD .
