Isaiah 66:4-6
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
4 I also will choose to mock[a] them,
and bring upon them what they fear;
because, when I called, no one answered,
when I spoke, they did not listen;
but they did what was evil in my sight,
and chose what did not please me.
The Lord Vindicates Zion
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who tremble at his word:
Your own people who hate you
and reject you for my name’s sake
have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified,
so that we may see your joy’;
but it is they who shall be put to shame.
6 Listen, an uproar from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
dealing retribution to his enemies!

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.
