So I will (A)choose their [a]punishments
And (B)bring on them what they dread.
Because I called, but (C)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
Instead, they did (D)evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
Hear the word of the Lord, you who (E)tremble at His word:
“Your brothers who (F)hate you, who (G)exclude you on account of My name,
Have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, so that we may see your joy.’
But (H)they will be put to shame.
A sound of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple,
The voice of the Lord who is (I)dealing retribution to His enemies.

  1. Isaiah 66:4 Lit ill treatments

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)

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)
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.
