Isaiah 66:15–24

¹⁵Look, the Lord will come with fire^g—

his chariots are like the whirlwind^h—

to execute his anger with fury

and his rebuke with flames of fire.

¹⁶For the Lord will execute judgment

on all humanityⁱ with his fiery sword,

and many will be slain by the Lord.

¹⁷“Those who dedicate and purify themselves to enter the groves^j following their leader,^C eating meat from pigs, vermin,^D and rats, will perish together.”

This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹⁸“Knowing^E their works and their thoughts, I have come to gather all nations and languages;^k they will come and see my glory. ¹⁹I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put,^A Lud (who are archers), Tubal, Javan,^l and the coasts and islands far away—who have not heard about me or seen my glory. And they will proclaim my glory among the nations.^{m 20}They will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the Lord on horses and chariots, in litters, and on mules and camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem,”ⁿ says the Lord, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. ²¹I will also take some of them as priests and Levites,”^o says the Lord.

²²“For just as the new heavens and the new earth,^p

which I will make,

will remain before me”—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

“so your offspring and your name will remain.

²³All humanity will come to worship me

from one New Moon to another

and from one Sabbath to another,”

says the Lord.

²⁴“As they leave, they will see the dead bodies of those who have rebelled against me;^q for their worm^r will never die, their fire will never go out,^s and they will be a horror to all humanity.”^t
