Isaiah 66:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴So I will punish them.
    I will punish them using what they fear most.
I called to them, but they did not listen.
    I spoke to them, but they did not hear me.
They did things I said were evil.
    They chose to do things I did not like.”

⁵You people who obey the words of the Lord,
    listen to what he says:
“Your brothers hated you.
    They turned against you because you followed me.
Your brothers said, ‘When the Lord is honored,
    we will come back and rejoice with you.’
    But they will be punished.
⁶Listen to the loud noise coming from the city.
    Hear the noise from the Temple.
It is the Lord punishing his enemies.
    He is giving them the punishment they should have.
