Isaiah 66:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 Indeed, I myself I will choose their ill treatment,
and I will bring them objects of their dread,
because I called, and no one answered;[a]
I spoke and they did not listen,
but[b] they did the evil in my eyes,
and they chose that in which I do not delight.”
5 Hear the word of Yahweh, you who are frightened at his word:
Your brothers who hate you,
who exclude you for my name’s sake have said,
“Let Yahweh be honored so that[c] we may see your joy!”
But[d] they themselves shall be ashamed.
6 A voice, an uproar from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of Yahweh paying back[e] his enemies!

New International Version
4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them

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.
