Isaiah 66

Gen Z: Isaiah 66

1Yo, the Lord's like, "Heaven's my throne, earth's my footstool; where's the crib you build for me? Where's my chill spot?"

2God made all this stuff, no cap. But He’s looking at the humble ones who vibe with His word.

3Killing an ox? That's like taking a life, fam. Sacrificing a lamb? Basically offing a dog. Offering food? It's like serving swine blood. They chose their own sus ways and are vibing with their nasty habits.

4I'ma pick their delusions and bring their fears, 'cause when I called, no one hit me back; they were doing shady stuff in my sight, picking what I ain't down with.

5Listen up, you who respect my word; your haters tossed you out for my name, saying, "Let the Lord get the glory!" But He’s gonna show up for your joy, and they gonna be shook.

6There's a loud vibe from the city, a shout from the temple, the Lord's voice giving the haters their due.

7Before she was even in labor, she popped a kid out; no pain, just a miracle.

8Who's heard of that? Who’s seen it? Can a whole earth drop babies in a day? Zion was in labor, and boom, kids everywhere.

9Am I gonna get you ready to drop and then not let it happen? Nah, says the Lord. Am I gonna make it happen and then close the womb? Not happening, fam.

10Celebrate with Jerusalem, get hyped for her, everyone who loves her: rejoice with her, all who are sad for her.

11You gonna be filled up with her comfort, sipping on her glory like it’s the best milkshake ever.

12The Lord's like, "I’ll drop peace on her like a river and glory like a flowing stream; you’ll be cared for and lifted up by her."

13Just like a mom comforts her kid, I got you; you’ll feel that comfort in Jerusalem, periodt.

14When you see this, your heart's gonna vibe, and you’ll be flourishing like a fresh herb; the Lord’s hand will show up for His crew and be spicy for the haters.

15For real, the Lord's coming in hot with fire and chariots like a whirlwind, bringing the heat with fury and flames.

16The Lord's gonna go off with fire and His sword, dealing with everyone; a lot of folks are gonna be taken down.

17Those who try to make themselves clean in the gardens, eating swine and all that nasty stuff? They gonna be taken out, says the Lord.

18I see what they’re doing and thinking; I’m gathering all nations and tongues to come and see my glory.

19I’ll drop a sign among them and send those who escape to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, to Tubal and Javan, to the far-off islands who haven’t heard my hype or seen my glory; they gonna spread my glory to the Gentiles.

20They gonna bring your fam as an offering to the Lord from all nations, riding horses, chariots, litters, and mules to my holy mountain, just like Israel brings offerings in clean vibes to the Lord’s house.

21I’ll scoop some of them for priests and Levites, says the Lord.

22Just like the new heavens and new earth I’m making will stay before me, your fam and your name gonna last too.

23From one new moon to another, and one Sabbath to another, all flesh gonna come worship before me, says the Lord.

24They gonna see the dead bodies of those who crossed me; their worm ain't gonna die, and their fire won't be put out; they gonna be a nightmare for all flesh.

KJV: Isaiah 66

1Thus 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?

2For 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.

3He 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.

4I 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.

5Hear 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.

6A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

7Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

8Who 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.

9Shall 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.

10Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

11That 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.

12For 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.

13As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

14And 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.

15For, 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.

16For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

17They 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.

18For 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.

19And 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.

20And 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.

21And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.

22For 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.

23And 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.

24And 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.
