Isaiah 65:11-12
New Living Translation
11 “But because the rest of you have forsaken the Lord
and have forgotten his Temple,
and because you have prepared feasts to honor the god of Fate
and have offered mixed wine to the god of Destiny,
12 now I will ‘destine’ you for the sword.
All of you will bow down before the executioner.
For when I called, you did not answer.
When I spoke, you did not listen.
You deliberately sinned—before my very eyes—
and chose to do what you know I despise.”
Isaiah 65:11-12
International Standard Version
11 But as for you who forsake the Lord,
who forget my holy mountain,
who spread a table for Fortune[a]
and[b] fill drink offerings[c] for Destiny,[d]
12 I’ll consign[e] you to the sword,
and all of you will bend down for the slaughter—
because when I called, you didn’t answer,
when I spoke, you didn’t listen;
but you did what was evil in my sight,
and chose what I took no pleasure in.”
