Isaiah 66:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 66
2
For My hand made all these things,
So all these things came into being,' declares the
Lord
.
'But I will look to this one,
At one who is humble and contrite in spirit, and who trembles at My word.
3
'
But
the one who slaughters an ox is
like
one who kills a person;
The one who sacrifices a lamb is
like
one who breaks a dog’s neck;
One who offers a grain offering
is like one who offers
pig’s blood;
One who burns incense is
like
one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their
own
ways,
And their souls delight in their abominations,
4
So I will choose their punishments
And bring on them what they dread.
Because I called, but no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
Instead, they did evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.'
5
Hear the word of the
Lord
, you who tremble at His word:
'Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you on account of My name,
Have said, ‘Let the
Lord
be glorified, so that we may see your joy.’
But they will be put to shame.
6
A sound of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple,
The voice of the
Lord
who is dealing retribution to His enemies.
7
'Before she was in labor, she delivered;
Before her pain came, she gave birth to a boy.
8
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Can a land be born in one day?
Can a nation be given birth all at once?
As soon as Zion was in labor, she also delivered her sons.
9
Shall I bring to the point of birth but not give delivery?' says the
Lord
.
'Or shall I who gives delivery shut
the womb?
' says your God.
King James Version
Chapter 66
2
For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the
Lord
: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
3
He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
5
Hear the word of the
Lord
, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the
Lord
be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6
A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the
Lord
that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
7
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the
Lord
: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 66
2
My hand made all these things,
and so they all came into being. This is the
Lord
’s declaration. I will look favorably on this kind of person:
one who is humble, submissive in spirit,
and trembles at my word.
3
One person slaughters an ox, another kills a person;
one person sacrifices a lamb, another breaks a dog’s neck;
one person offers a grain offering, another offers pig’s blood;
one person offers incense, another praises an idol—
all these have chosen their ways
and delight in their abhorrent practices.
4
So I will choose their punishment,
and I will bring on them what they dread
because I called and no one answered;
I spoke and they did not listen;
they did what was evil in my sight
and chose what I did not delight in.
5
You who tremble at his word,
hear the word of the
Lord
:
"Your brothers who hate and exclude you
for my name’s sake have said,
‘Let the
Lord
be glorified
so that we can see your joy!’
But they will be put to shame."
6
A sound of uproar from the city!
A voice from the temple—
the voice of the
Lord
,
paying back his enemies what they deserve!
7
Before Zion was in labor, she gave birth;
before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.
8
Who has heard of such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Can a land be born in one day
or a nation be delivered in an instant?
Yet as soon as Zion was in labor,
she gave birth to her sons.
9
"Will I bring a baby to the point of birth
and not deliver it?"
says the
Lord
;
"or will I who deliver, close the womb?"
says your God.
New Living Translation
Chapter 66
2
My hands have made both heaven and earth;
they and everything in them are mine.
I, the
Lord
, have spoken!
'I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts,
who tremble at my word.
3
But those who choose their own ways —
delighting in their detestable sins —
will not have their offerings accepted.
When such people sacrifice a bull,
it is no more acceptable than a human sacrifice.
When they sacrifice a lamb,
it’s as though they had sacrificed a dog!
When they bring an offering of grain,
they might as well offer the blood of a pig.
When they burn frankincense,
it’s as if they had blessed an idol.
4
I will send them great trouble —
all the things they feared.
For when I called, they did not answer.
When I spoke, they did not listen.
They deliberately sinned before my very eyes
and chose to do what they know I despise.'
5
Hear this message from the
Lord
,
all you who tremble at his words:
'Your own people hate you
and throw you out for being loyal to my name.
‘Let the
Lord
be honored!’ they scoff.
‘Be joyful in him!’
But they will be put to shame.
6
What is all the commotion in the city?
What is that terrible noise from the Temple?
It is the voice of the
Lord
taking vengeance against his enemies.
7
'Before the birth pains even begin,
Jerusalem gives birth to a son.
8
Who has ever seen anything as strange as this?
Who ever heard of such a thing?
Has a nation ever been born in a single day?
Has a country ever come forth in a mere moment?
But by the time Jerusalem’s birth pains begin,
her children will be born.
9
Would I ever bring this nation to the point of birth
and then not deliver it?' asks the
Lord
.
'No! I would never keep this nation from being born,'
says your God.
English Standard Version
Chapter 66
2
All these things my hand has made,
and so all these things came to be, declares the
Lord
.
But this is the one to whom I will look:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit
and trembles at my word.
3
"He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog 's neck;
he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers pig 's blood;
he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
These have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations;
4
I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and bring their fears upon them,
because when I called, no one answered,
when I spoke, they did not listen;
but they did what was evil in my eyes
and chose that in which I did not delight."
5
Hear the word of the
Lord
,
you who tremble at his word:
"Your brothers who hate you
and cast you out for my name 's sake
have said, ‘Let the
Lord
be glorified,
that we may see your joy’;
but it is they who shall be put to shame.
6
"The sound of an uproar from the city!
A sound from the temple!
The sound of the
Lord
,
rendering recompense to his enemies!
7
"Before she was in labor
she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
she delivered a son.
8
Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?
For as soon as Zion was in labor
she brought forth her children.
9
Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?"
says the
Lord
;
"shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?"
says your God.
New International Version
Chapter 66
2
Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?"
declares the
Lord
. "These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word.
3
But whoever sacrifices a bull
is like one who kills a person,
and whoever offers a lamb
is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever makes a grain offering
is like one who presents pig’s blood,
and whoever burns memorial incense
is like one who worships an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,
and they delight in their abominations;
4
so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and will bring on them what they dread.
For when I called, no one answered,
when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me."
5
Hear the word of the
Lord
,
you who tremble at his word:
"Your own people who hate you,
and exclude you because of my name, have said,
‘Let the
Lord
be glorified,
that we may see your joy!’
Yet they will be put to shame.
6
Hear that uproar from the city,
hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound of the
Lord
repaying his enemies all they deserve.
7
"Before she goes into labor,
she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
she delivers a son.
8
Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen things like this?
Can a country be born in a day
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.
9
Do I bring to the moment of birth
and not give delivery?" says the
Lord
.
"Do I close up the womb
when I bring to delivery?" says your God.
New King James Version
Chapter 66
2
For all those
things
My hand has made,
And all those
things
exist,”
Says the
Lord
.
“But on this
one
will I look:
On
him who is
poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
3
“He who kills a bull
is as if
he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb,
as if
he breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering,
as if he offers
swine’s blood;
He who burns incense,
as if
he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
4
So will I choose their delusions,
And bring their fears on them;
Because, when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose
that
in which I do not delight.”
5
Hear the word of the
Lord
,
You who tremble at His word:
“Your brethren who hated you,
Who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,
‘Let the
Lord
be glorified,
That we may see your joy.’
But they shall be ashamed.”
6
The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the
Lord
,
Who fully repays His enemies!
7
“Before she was in labor, she gave birth;
Before her pain came,
She delivered a male child.
8
Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or
shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
9
Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the
Lord
.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up
the womb?
” says your God.
