Isaiah 65:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 65:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 I have chosen the people
of Israel and Judah,
and I will bless them
with many descendants.
They will settle here
in this land of mountains,
and it will be theirs.
10 (A) My people will worship me.
Then the coastlands of Sharon
and the land as far
as Achor Valley[a]
will turn into pastureland
where cattle and sheep
will feed and rest.
11 What will I, the Lord, do
if any of you reject me
and my holy mountain?
What will happen to you
for offering food and wine
to the gods you call
“Good Luck” and “Fate”?
Footnotes
