1 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? 2 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. 3 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. 4 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. 5 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. 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the tem­ple, a voice of the LORD that ren­dereth rec­om­pence to his en­e­mies. 7 Be­fore she tra­vailed, she brought forth; be­fore her pain came, she was de­liv­ered of a man child. 8 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. 9 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. 10 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: 11 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. 12 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. 13 As one whom his moth­er com­forteth, so will I com­fort you; and ye shall be com­fort­ed in Jerusalem. 14 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. 15 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. 16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. 17 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. 18 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. 19 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. 20 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. 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. 22 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 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. 24 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.
