Isaiah 66:15-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵For behold, the Lord will come in ^(A)fire,
And His ^(B)chariots like the whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
¹⁶For the Lord will execute judgment by ^(C)fire
And by His ^(D)sword on ^[a]humanity,
And those put to death by the Lord will be many.
¹⁷“Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the ^(E)gardens,
^[b]Following one in the center,
Who eat ^(F)pig’s flesh, detestable things, and mice,
Will ^(G)come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.

¹⁸“For I ^[c]know their works and their ^(H)thoughts; ^[d]the time is coming to ^(I)gather all the nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory. ¹⁹And I will put a ^(J)sign among them and send survivors from them to the nations: ^(K)Tarshish, ^[e]Put, ^(L)Lud, ^[f]Meshech, ^(M)Tubal, and ^[g]Javan, to the distant ^(N)coastlands that have neither heard of My fame nor seen My glory. And they will ^(O)declare My glory among the nations. ²⁰Then they shall ^(P)bring all your countrymen from all the nations as a grain offering to the Lord, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to My ^(Q)holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a ^(R)clean vessel to the house of the Lord. ²¹I will also take some of them as ^(S)priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

¹³For I will ^(A)bend Judah ^[a]as My bow,

And they will ^(I)devour and trample on the ^(J)slingstones;
And they will drink and be ^(K)boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the ^(L)corners of the altar.
¹⁶And the Lord their God will ^(M)save them on that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are like the precious stones of a ^(N)crown,
Sparkling on His land.

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Enemies

14 Behold, a ^(A)day is coming for the Lord when ^(B)the spoils taken from you will be divided among you. ²For I will ^(C)gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be taken, the ^(D)houses plundered, the women raped, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be eliminated from the city. ³Then the Lord will go forth and ^(E)fight against those nations, as ^[a]when He fights on a day of battle.
