NASB — Isaiah 65 — KJV

A Rebellious People

  1 “I permitted Myself to be sought° by athose who did not ask° [for Me];
  I permitted Myself to be found° by those who did not seek° Me.
  I said°, ‘Here° am I, here° am I,’
  To a nation° which bdid not call° on My name°.
  2aI have spread° out My hands° all° day° long to a brebellious° people°,
  Who walk° [in] the way° which is not good°, Ifollowing° their own cthoughts°,
  3 A people° who continually° aprovoke° Me to My face°,
  Offering° sacrifices° in bgardens° and cburning° incense° on bricks°;
  4 Who sit° among graves° and spend° the night° in secret° places°;
  Who aeat° swine’s° flesh°,
  And the broth° of unclean° meat° is [in] their pots°.
  5 “Who say°, ‘aKeep° to yourself, do not come° near° me,
  For I am holier° than you!’
  These° are smoke° in My Inostrils°,
  A fire° that burns° all° the day°.
  6 “Behold°, it is written° before° Me,
  I will anot keep° silent°, but bI will repay°;
  I will even repay° into their bosom°,
  7 Both Itheir own ainiquities° and the iniquities° of their fathers° together°,” says° the LORD°.
  “Because° they have bburned° incense° on the mountains°
  And cscorned° Me on the hills°,
  Therefore I will dmeasure° their former° work° into their bosom°.”

The calling of the Gentiles.

1 ¶ I am soughtºª of [them that] askedºª notº [for me]; I am foundºª of [them that] soughtºª me not:º I said,ºª Behold² me, behold² me, unto² a nationº [that] was not² calledºª by my name.º

The Jews, for their incredulity, idolatry, and hypocrisy, are rejected.

2 I have spread outºª my handsº all² the dayº unto² a rebelliousºª people,º which walkethºª in a wayº [that was] not² good,º afterº their own thoughts;º 3 A peopleº that provoketh me to angerºª² continuallyº to² my face;º that sacrificethºª in gardens,º and burneth incenseºª upon² altars of brick;º 4 Which remainºª among the graves,º and lodgeºª in the monuments,ºª which eatºª swine'sº flesh,º and brothºª¹ of abominableº [things is in] their vessels;º 5 Which say,ºª Standºª by² thyself, come not nearºª² to me; for² I am holierºª than thou. These² [are] a smokeº in my nose,º a fireº that burnethºª all² the day.º 6 Behold,² [it is] writtenºª beforeº me: I will not² keep silence,ºª but²² will recompense,ºª even recompenseºª into² their bosom,º 7 Your iniquities,º and the iniquitiesº of your fathersº together,º saithºª the LORD,º which² have burned incenseºª upon² the mountains,º and blasphemedºª me upon² the hills:º therefore will I measureºª their formerº workº into² their bosom.º

11 ¶ But ye² [are] they that forsakeºª the LORD,º that forgetº² my holyº mountain,º that prepareºª a tableº for that troop,º¹ª and that furnishºª the drink offeringº unto that number.º 12 Therefore will I numberºª you to the sword,º and ye shall all² bow downºª to the slaughter:º because² when I called,ºª ye did not² answer;ºª when I spake,ºª ye did not² hear;ºª but didºª evilº before mine eyes,º and did chooseºª [that] wherein² I delightedºª not.² 13 Therefore² thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD,º Behold,² my servantsº shall eat,ºª but ye² shall be hungry:ºª behold,² my servantsº shall drink,ºª but ye² shall be thirsty:ºª behold,² my servantsº shall rejoice,ºª but ye² shall be ashamed:ºª 14 Behold,² my servantsº shall singºª for joyº² of heart,º but ye² shall cryºª for sorrowº² of heart,º and shall howlºª for vexationº² of spirit.º 15 And ye shall leave¹ª² your nameº for a curseº unto my chosen:º for the Lordº GODº shall slayºª thee, and callºª his servantsº by anotherº name:º 16 That he who² blesseth¹ª himself² in the earthº shall bless¹ª himself² in the Godº of truth;º and he that swearethºª in the earthº shall swearºª by the Godº of truth;º because² the formerº troublesº are forgotten,ºª and because² they are hidºª from mine eyes.º²
