(KJV) Isaiah 65¹

⥃Judgments and Promises ^{[ Romans 10:1–21 ]}

[1] I am sought² of [them that] asked not [for me]; I am found of [them that] sought me not: I said, Behold³ me, behold me, unto⁴ a nation [that] was not called by my name. [2] I have spread⁵ out my hands all the day unto a rebellious⁶ people, which⁷ walketh in a way [that was] not good, after⁸ their own thoughts; [3] A people⁹ that provoketh me to anger continually to my face¹⁰; that sacrificeth¹¹ in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars¹² of brick; [4] Which remain¹³ among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat¹⁴ swine’s flesh, and broth¹⁵ of abominable [things is in] their vessels; [5] Which say, Stand¹⁶ by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These¹⁷ [are] a smoke in my nose¹⁸, a fire¹⁹ that burneth all the day. [6] Behold, [it is²⁰] written before me: I will²¹ not keep silence, but²² will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, [7] Your iniquities²³, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned²⁴ incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed²⁵ me upon the hills: therefore²⁶ will I measure their former work into their bosom.

[8] Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and [one] saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing [is] in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.²⁷ [9] And I will²⁸ bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect²⁹ shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. [10] And Sharon³⁰ shall be a fold of flocks, and the³¹ valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

[11] But ye [are] they that³² forsake the Lord, that forget my holy³³ mountain, that prepare³⁴ a table for that troop³⁵, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number³⁶. [12] Therefore will I³⁷ number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because³⁸ when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil³⁹ before mine eyes, and did⁴⁰ choose [that] wherein I delighted not. [13] Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall eat⁴¹, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice⁴², but ye shall be ashamed: [14] Behold, my servants⁴³ shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall⁴⁴ cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation⁴⁵ of spirit. [15] And ye shall⁴⁶ leave your name for a curse unto my chosen⁴⁷: for the Lord⁴⁸ God shall slay thee, and call his servants⁴⁹ by another name: [16] That he who⁵⁰ blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God⁵¹ of truth; and he that⁵² sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because⁵³ the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

⥃A New Heaven and a New Earth ^{[ Revelation 21:1–8 ]}

[17] For, behold, I create⁵⁴ new heavens and a new earth: and the former⁵⁵ shall not be remembered, nor come into mind⁵⁶. [18] But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.⁵⁷ [19] And I will⁵⁸ rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping⁵⁹ shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. [20] There shall⁶⁰ be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but⁶¹ the sinner [being] an hundred years old shall be accursed. [21] And they shall build houses, and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.⁶² [22] They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as⁶³ the days of a tree [are] the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy⁶⁴ the work of their hands. [23] They shall⁶⁵ not labour in vain, nor bring for⁶⁶th for trouble; for they [are] the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. [24] And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.⁶⁷ [25] The wolf⁶⁸ and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust⁶⁹ [shall be] the serpent’s meat. They shall not⁷⁰ hurt nor destroy in all my⁷¹ holy mountain, saith the Lord.
