23:064:003 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou
camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

23:064:004 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor
perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside
thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

23:064:005 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness,
those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth;
for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be
saved.

23:064:006 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our
righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a
leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

23:064:007 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up
himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from
us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

23:064:008 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and
thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

23:064:009 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for
ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

23:064:010 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.

23:064:011 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised
thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are
laid waste.

23:064:012 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou
hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

23:065:001 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.

23:065:002 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;

23:065:003 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face;
that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars
of brick;

23:065:004 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments,
which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in
their vessels;

23:065:005 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.

23:065:006 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but
will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

23:065:007 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.

23:065:008 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.

23:065:009 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.

23:065:010 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.

23:065:011 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.

23:065:012 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.

23:065:013 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:

23:065:014 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall
cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of
spirit.

23:065:015 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:

23:065:016 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.

23:065:017 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the
former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

23:065:018 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.

23:065:019 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.

23:065:020 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.

23:065:021 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall
plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

23:065:022 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.

23:065:023 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.

23:065:024 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will
answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

23:065:025 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.

23:066:001 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is
my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and
where is the place of my rest?

23:066:002 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things
have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even
to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at
my word.

23:066:003 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that
sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that
offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that
burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have
chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their
abominations.

23:066:004 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears
upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I
spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes,
and chose that in which I delighted not.

23:066:005 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your
brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake,
said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your
joy, and they shall be ashamed.

23:066:006 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a
voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

23:066:007 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came,
she was delivered of a man child.

23:066:008 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall
the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation
be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought
forth her children.

23:066:009 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?
saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the
womb? saith thy God.

23:066:010 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that
love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

23:066:011 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her
consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the
abundance of her glory.

23:066:012 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her
like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing
stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides,
and be dandled upon her knees.

23:066:013 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and
ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

23:066:014 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones
shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be
known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his
enemies.

23:066:015 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his
chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and
his rebuke with flames of fire.

23:066:016 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all
flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

23:066:017 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the
gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh,
and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed
together, saith the LORD.

23:066:018 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that
I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come,
and see my glory.

23:066:019 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that
escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud,
that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off,
that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and
they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

23:066:020 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto
the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and
in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy
mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel
bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the
LORD.

23:066:021 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites,
saith the LORD.

23:066:022 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make,
shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and
your name remain.

23:066:023 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to
worship before me, saith the LORD.

23:066:024 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men
that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not
die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be
an abhorring unto all flesh.
