Isaiah 66:15-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. “For look, יהוה comes with fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His displeasure with burning, and His rebuke with flames of fire.

16. “For by fire and by His sword יהוה shall judge all flesh, and the slain of יהוה shall be many –

17. those who set themselves apart and cleanse themselves at the gardens after ‘One’ in the midst, eating flesh of pigs and the abomination and the mouse, are snatched away, together,” declares יהוה.

18. “And I, because of their works and their imaginations, am coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My esteem.

19. “And I shall set a sign among them, and shall send some of those who escape to the nations – Tarshish and Pul and Luḏ, who draw the bow, and Tuḇal and Yawan, the coastlands afar off who have not heard My report nor seen My esteem. And they shall declare My esteem among the gentiles.

20. “And they shall bring all your brothers as an offering to יהוה out of all the gentiles, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My set-apart mountain Yerushalayim,” declares יהוה, “as the children of Yisra’ĕl bring an offering in a clean vessel into the House of יהוה.

21. “And from them too I shall take for priests – for Lĕwites,” declares יהוה.

22. “For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make stand before Me,” declares יהוה, “so your seed and your name shall stand.

23. “And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה.

24. “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!”
