Isaiah 66:18-24

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ “I know ·they have evil thoughts and do evil things [^Ltheir deeds and thoughts], so I am ·coming to punish them [^Lcoming]. I will gather all nations and all ·people [^Llanguages; tongues], and they will come together and see my glory.

¹⁹ “I will put a ·mark [sign] ·on some of the people [^Lamong them], and I will send ·some of these saved people [or those who survive] to the nations: to Tarshish [2:16], ·Libya [^LPul], Lud (·the land of archers [^Lwho draw the bow]), Tubal, ·Greece [^LJavan], and all the faraway ·lands [or islands; or coastlands]. These people have never heard about ·what I have done [my fame] nor seen my glory. So ·the saved people [^Lthey] will tell the nations about my glory. ²⁰ And they will bring all your ·fellow Israelites [^Lbrothers] from all nations to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. ·Your fellow Israelites [^LThey] will come on horses, donkeys, and camels and in chariots and wagons. They will be like the grain offerings that the people bring in ·clean [pure; undefiled] ·containers [vessels] to the Temple,” says the Lord. ²¹ “And I will ·choose [take] even some of these people to be priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

²² “I will make new heavens and the new earth, which will ·last forever [endure before me],” says the Lord. “In the same way, your name and your ·children [descendants; offspring; seed] will ·always be with me [remain; endure]. ²³ All ·people [flesh] will come to worship me every Sabbath and every New Moon,” says the Lord. ²⁴ “They will go out and see the dead bodies of the people who ·sinned [rebelled] against me. The worms that eat them will never die, and the fires that burn them will never ·stop [be quenched], and ·everyone will hate to see those bodies [^Lthey will be a horror/abhorrence to all flesh].”
