Isaiah 66:15-21
New American Standard Bible
15 For behold, the Lord will come in (A)fire,
And His (B)chariots like the whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For the Lord will execute judgment by (C)fire
And by His (D)sword on [a]humanity,
And those put to death by the Lord will be many.
17 “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the (E)gardens,
[b]Following one in the center,
Who eat (F)pig’s flesh, detestable things, and mice,
Will (G)come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.
18 “For I [c]know their works and their (H)thoughts; [d]the time is coming to (I)gather all the nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory. 19 And I will put a (J)sign among them and send survivors from them to the nations: (K)Tarshish, [e]Put, (L)Lud, [f]Meshech, (M)Tubal, and [g]Javan, to the distant (N)coastlands that have neither heard of My fame nor seen My glory. And they will (O)declare My glory among the nations. 20 Then they shall (P)bring all your countrymen from all the nations as a grain offering to the Lord, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to My (Q)holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a (R)clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21 I will also take some of them as (S)priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

New American Standard Bible
13 For I will (A)bend Judah [a]as My bow,
I will fill the bow with Ephraim.
And I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, (B)Greece;
And I will make you like a (C)warrior’s sword.
14 Then the Lord will appear (D)over them,
And His (E)arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord [b]God will blow the (F)trumpet,
And march in the (G)storm winds of the south.
15 (H)The Lord of armies will protect them.
And they will (I)devour and trample on the (J)slingstones;
And they will drink and be (K)boisterous as with wine;
And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,
Drenched like the (L)corners of the altar.
16 And the Lord their God will (M)save them on that day
As the flock of His people;
For they are like the precious stones of a (N)crown,
Sparkling on His land.

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Enemies
14 Behold, a (A)day is coming for the Lord when (B)the spoils taken from you will be divided among you. 2 For I will (C)gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be taken, the (D)houses plundered, the women raped, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be eliminated from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go forth and (E)fight against those nations, as [a]when He fights on a day of battle.
