Isaiah 66:10-24
New International Version
Isaiah 66:10-24
New International Version
10 “Rejoice(A) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
all you who love(B) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn(C) over her.
11 For you will nurse(D) and be satisfied
at her comforting breasts;(E)
you will drink deeply
and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(F)
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“I will extend peace(G) to her like a river,(H)
and the wealth(I) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(J) on her arm
and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(K)
so will I comfort(L) you;
and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(M)
and you will flourish(N) like grass;
the hand(O) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(P)
but his fury(Q) will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(R)
and his chariots(S) are like a whirlwind;(T)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
and his rebuke(U) with flames of fire.
16 For with fire(V) and with his sword(W)
the Lord will execute judgment(X) on all people,
and many will be those slain(Y) by the Lord.
17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,(Z) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,(AA) rats(AB) and other unclean things—they will meet their end(AC) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.
18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done,(AD) am about to come[a] and gather the people of all nations(AE) and languages, and they will come and see my glory.(AF)
19 “I will set a sign(AG) among them, and I will send some of those who survive(AH) to the nations—to Tarshish,(AI) to the Libyans[b] and Lydians(AJ) (famous as archers), to Tubal(AK) and Greece,(AL) and to the distant islands(AM) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.(AN) They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring(AO) all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain(AP) in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”(AQ) says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.(AR) 21 And I will select some of them also to be priests(AS) and Levites,” says the Lord.
22 “As the new heavens and the new earth(AT) that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure.(AU) 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath(AV) to another, all mankind will come and bow down(AW) before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies(AX) of those who rebelled(AY) against me; the worms(AZ) that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched,(BA) and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

Isaiah 66:10-24
King James Version
10 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:
11 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.
12 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.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 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.
15 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.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 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.
19 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.
20 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.
21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
