Isaiah 65:11-12
World English Bible
11 “But you who forsake Yahweh,
who forget my holy mountain,
who prepare a table for Fortune,
and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
12 I will destine you to the sword,
and you will all bow down to the slaughter;
because when I called, you didn’t answer.
When I spoke, you didn’t listen;
but you did that which was evil in my eyes,
and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
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.”
