Isaias

25 The wolf and the lamb shall graze together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and (as. for) the serpent, dust his food. They shall not do evil nor deal corruptly in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

LXVI. 1 Thus saith the LORD, The heavens are my throne, and the earth the footstool of my feet; where is this house ye will build unto me? and where is this place of my rest?

2 And all these things hath my hand made, and all these things came to be, saith the LORD; and to this one will I look, to him who is afflicted and contrite in spirit, and trembleth at my word.

3 He that slaughtereth the ox, slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth the sheep, breaketh a ’s neck; he that offereth a meal offering, sweene's blood: he that maketh a memorial of incense, blesseth iniquity. Also they have chosen their own ways, and their soul taketh pleasure in their abominations.

4 Also I will choose their mockeries, and will bring their fears upon them; because I called, and there was none that answered; I spake, and there was none that heard; and they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I took not pleasure.

5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren say, that hate you, that drive you away for my name's sake, Let the LORD show himself glorious, and we shall see your joy; and they shall be ashamed.

6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD rendering retribution to his enemies.

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

8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall a land be travailed with in one day? shall a nation be born at once? for Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons.

9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD; shall I, that cause to bring forth, shut up (the womb)? saith thy God.

10 Be ye glad with Jerusalem, and exult in her, all ye that love her: rejoice with her, all that mourn with her.

11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied from the breast of her consolations: that ye may milk out, and delight yourselves from the fulness of her glory.
