Isaiah 66:1-2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Worship God Demands
66 Thus says the Lord:
Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool;
so what kind of house could you build for me,
what sort of place for me to rest?(A)
2 All these things my hand has made,
so all these things are mine,[a]
says the Lord.
But this is the one to whom I will look,
to the humble and contrite in spirit
who trembles at my word.(B)

(B)“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool;

he who is humble and contrite in spirit
and trembles at my word.
