Isaiah Chapter 65 — The New Heavens and New Earth

¹“I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask.

²I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people,

³a people who provoke me to my face continually,

⁴who sit among the graves,

⁵who say, ‘Stay by yourself,

⁶“Behold, it is written before me:

⁷your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the LORD,

⁸The LORD says,

⁹I will bring offspring out of Jacob,

¹⁰Sharon will be a fold of flocks,

¹¹“But you who forsake the LORD,

¹²I will destine you to the sword,

¹³Therefore the Lord GOD says,

¹⁴Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart,

¹⁵You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen,

¹⁶so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth;

¹⁷“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;

¹⁸But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create;

¹⁹I will rejoice in Jerusalem,

²⁰“No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days,

²¹They will build houses and inhabit them.

²²They will not build and another inhabit.

²³They will not labor in vain

²⁴It will happen that before they call, I will answer;

²⁵The wolf and the lamb will feed together.
