Isaiah 66:4-6
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 66:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 You refused to answer
when I called out;
you paid no attention
to my instructions.
Instead, you did what I hated,
knowing it was wrong.
Now I will punish[a] you
in a way you dread the most.
The Lord Will Help Jerusalem
5 If you tremble
when the Lord speaks,
listen to what he says:
“Some of your own people hate
and reject you because of me.
They make fun and say,
‘Let the Lord show his power!
Let us see him
make you truly happy.’[b]
But those who say these things
will be terribly ashamed.”
6 Do you hear that noise
in the city and those shouts
coming from the temple?
It is the Lord shouting
as he punishes his enemies.
Isaiah 66:4-6
New International Version
Isaiah 66:4-6
New International Version
4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and will bring on them what they dread.(A)
For when I called, no one answered,(B)
when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil(C) in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(D)
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who tremble at his word:(E)
“Your own people who hate(F) 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.(G)
6 Hear that uproar from the city,
hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(H) of the Lord
repaying(I) his enemies all they deserve.
