RF ISA 66:1 ODE 68.
The Omnipresence of God.
Thus says the LORD;—"The Heavens are My Throne, and the Earth My footstool;—What is this House which you built as for Me? And where is the Place of My rest?
RF ISA 66:2 For My hand made all these, And all these,—they are Mine," Says the LORD, "But I honour the meek, and the gentle in spirit, Who fear My commands."
RF ISA 66:3 He who offers an Ox,—but who murders a man For a Lamb,—who presents a hung dog,—Who offers swine's blood for a gift, For frankincense blesses an Idol; Such as these who select their own path, And whose soul in their falsehood delights;
RF ISA 66:4 I too will delight in their woes, And their terror will bring upon them. For I called but I had no reply, I spoke,—but they never would hear,—But did wrong in My sight, And that which I hated they chose."
RF ISA 66:5 But hear the LORD'S promise, you fearing His word, And report to your brothers, who hate and drive out, That His Power the LORD will display, And appear to your pleasure, but to their disgrace.
RF ISA 66:6 ODE 69.
Promise of a New Birth to Zion.
A shout sounds from the City, a voice from the Temple,—The LORD'S voice is sent out to punish His foes.
RF ISA 66:7 Before she was anguished, she childed,—Before she had come to her torture, She brought forth a son.
RF ISA 66:8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen it like that? For the earth to produce in a day!—In a moment a Nation be born? Thus Zion travailed,—thus brought forth her sons!
RF ISA 66:9 "Shall I produce, and not cause to be born?" Asks the LORD? "If I cause the birth, why restrain?" Asks your GOD.
RF ISA 66:10 Be glad with Jerusalem, and laugh all her friends, Bring joy upon joy, all who mourned over her;—
RF ISA 66:11 You shall suck and be fed from her comforting breast; You shall press out sweet food from her plentiful store!
RF ISA 66:12 For thus says the LORD:—"Like a river I clothe her in peace, Wealth of Nations pour out like a brook You shall suck and be borne, And be danced on their knees!
RF ISA 66:13 As a man by his mother is cheered, I, Myself, will cheer you, And you in Jerusalem rejoice."
RF ISA 66:14 You shall see, and be glad in your hearts, And your vigour shall grow like the grass, And the LORD'S hand be shown to His Servants, And His wrath to His foes,—
RF ISA 66:15 For, see, the LORD coming like fire, And His Chariot rush on like the wind, To send forth His anger in heat, And His wrath like the flame of a fire;
RF ISA 66:16 For by fire the LORD will decide, And the whole of mankind by His heat, And the many the LORD will destroy.
RF ISA 66:17 "Those who give, and devote in the gardens to Akhad1Amongst eaters of flesh of the hog, Along with the rat and the mouse, Shall fall," says the Lord,
RF ISA 66:18 "For I know2 their plans and their tricks." And then I will come to collect all the heathen, and tongues, Who will stand and shall gaze on My might.
RF ISA 66:19 And I will give to them a Standard, And send to the Nations in troops,—To Tarshish, and Pul and to Lud, who draw bows, To Tubal, and Ion, the far distant shores, Who have not heard My News, and have not seen My Power, And My Glory will tell to those Tribes;
RF ISA 66:20 And from all the heathen your brothers bring back, On horses and chariots, a gift to the LORD. And on waggons, and mules, and on camels, To Jerusalem, My Holy Hill," Says the LORD, "As Israel's sons bring their gifts, On fair trays to the House of the LORD!"
RF ISA 66:21 And from them I will take for My Levites and Priests," Says the LORD,
RF ISA 66:22 "When I make the New Skies, and New Earth, To stand before Me," Says the LORD, "So your Name and Race shall abide,
RF ISA 66:23 From New Moon to New Moon, And from Sabbath to Sabbath; And all men shall bow before Me," Says the LORD,
RF ISA 66:24 "And shall go out and look on the bodies of men, Who revolted from Me, How their worms never die, And the fire is not quenched, And they are abhorred of mankind!
—————
1. Ch. 66, v. 17. "Akhad" the supposed goddess of the Moon, the Greek "Hecate."
2 NOTE: Ch. 66, v. 18. Following Bp. Lowth and the Chaldee, Arabic and Septuagint versions, I insert the word "know" Yoda, to give meaning to the text, where some early copies seemingly omitted it.—F. F.

AKJV ROM 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
