Isaiah 66:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 They that sanctify [a]themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst eating [b]swine’s flesh, and such abomination, even the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 For I will visit their works, and their imaginations, for it shall come that I will gather all nations, and tongues, and they shall come, and see my [c]glory.
19 And I will set a [d]sign among them, and will send those that [e]escape of them unto the nations of [f]Tarshish, [g]Pul, and [h]Lud, and to them that draw the [i]bow, to [j]Tubal and [k]Javan, isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory, and [l]they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
