ISA-65:1 I am sought of [them that] asked not [for me]; I am

found of [them that] sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me,

 unto a nation [that] was not called by my name.

ISA-65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a

rebellious people, which walketh in a way [that was] not good,

after their own thoughts;

ISA-65:3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my

face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon

altars of brick;

ISA-65:4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the

monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable

[things is in] their vessels;

ISA-65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I

am holier than thou. These [are] a smoke in my nose, a fire that

burneth all the day.

ISA-65:6 Behold, [it is] written before me: I will not keep

silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

ISA-65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers

together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the

mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I

measure their former work into their bosom.

ISA-65:8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the

cluster, and [one] saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing [is] in

it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy

them all.

ISA-65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of

Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit

it, and my servants shall dwell there.

ISA-65:10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley

of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people

that have sought me.

ISA-65:11 But ye [are] they that forsake the LORD, that forget

my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that

furnish the drink offering unto that number.

ISA-65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall

all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not

answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine

eyes, and did choose [that] wherein I delighted not.

ISA-65:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants

shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall

drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall

rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

ISA-65:14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but

ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of

spirit.

ISA-65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my

chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants

by another name:

ISA-65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless

himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth

shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are

forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

ISA-65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and

the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

ISA-65:18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I

create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her

people a joy.

ISA-65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people:

and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the

voice of crying.

ISA-65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor

an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall

die an hundred years old; but the sinner [being] an hundred

years old shall be accursed.

ISA-65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit [them]; and

they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

ISA-65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall

not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree [are] the

days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of

their hands.

ISA-65:23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for

trouble; for they [are] the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and

their offspring with them.

ISA-65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I

will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

ISA-65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the

lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust [shall be] the

serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy

mountain, saith the LORD.
