Isaiah 66:15-17
New Living Translation
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,
and his swift chariots roar like a whirlwind.
He will bring punishment with the fury of his anger
and the flaming fire of his hot rebuke.
16 The Lord will punish the world by fire
and by his sword.
He will judge the earth,
and many will be killed by him.
17 “Those who ‘consecrate’ and ‘purify’ themselves in a sacred garden with its idol in the center—feasting on pork and rats and other detestable meats—will come to a terrible end,” says the Lord.

Isaiah 66:15-17
International Standard Version
15 “Take notice! The Lord will come with fire,
and his chariot[a] will be[b] like a whirlwind,
to pay back his anger—yes, his anger!—[c] in fury,
and his menacing rebukes[d] in flames of fire.
16 For with fire and with his sword the Lord will proceed to judgment[e] on all humanity,[f]
and those slain by the Lord will be many.”
17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves,[g] following the one at the center of those who eat the meat of pigs, disgusting things,[h] and rats, are all alike,”[i] says[j] the Lord.
