Chapter 66

1Thus said Hashem: The heaven is My throne And the earth is My footstool: Where could you build a house for Me, What place could serve as My abode?

2All this was made by My hand, And thus it all came into being —declares Hashem. Yet to such a one I look: To the poor and brokenhearted, Who is concerned about My word.

3As for those who slaughter oxen and slay humans, Who sacrifice sheep and immolate dogs, Who present as oblation the blood of swine, Who offer incense and worship false gods— Just as they have chosen their ways And take pleasure in their abominations,

4So will I choose to mock them, To bring on them the very thing they dread. For I called and none responded, I spoke and none paid heed. They did what I deem evil And chose what I do not want.

5Hear the word of Hashem, You who are concerned about His word! Your kinsmen who hate you, Who spurn you because of Me, are saying, “Let Hashem manifest His Presence, So that we may look upon your joy.” But theirs shall be the shame.

9Shall I who bring on labor not bring about birth? —says Hashem. Shall I who cause birth shut the womb? —said your God.

12For thus said Hashem: I will extend to her Prosperity like a stream, The wealth of nations Like a wadi in flood; And you shall drink of it. You shall be carried on shoulders And dandled upon knees.

17Those who sanctify and purify themselves to enter the groves, imitating one in the center, eating the flesh of the swine, the reptile, and the mouse, shall one and all come to an end—declares Hashem.

19I will set a sign among them, and send from them survivors to the nations: to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud—that draw the bow—to Tubal, Javan, and the distant coasts, that have never heard My fame nor beheld My glory. They shall declare My glory among these nations.
