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
Lexham English Bible
15 For look! Yahweh will come in fire,
and his chariots like the storm wind,
to give back[a] his anger in wrath,
and his rebuke in flames of fire.
16 For Yahweh enters into judgment on all flesh with fire and his sword,
and those slain by[b] Yahweh shall be many.
17 Those who sanctify themselves
and those who cleanse themselves to go into[c] the gardens after the one in the middle,
eating the flesh of swine
and detestable things[d] and rodents[e] together
shall come to an end!” declares[f] Yahweh.
