Isaiah 66:15-17
The Message
Isaiah 66:15-17
The Message
14-16 You’ll see all this and burst with joy
—you’ll feel ten feet tall—
As it becomes apparent that God is on your side
and against his enemies.
For God arrives like wildfire
and his chariots like a tornado,
A furious outburst of anger,
a rebuke fierce and fiery.
For it’s by fire that God brings judgment,
a death sentence on the human race.
Many, oh so many,
are under God’s sentence of death:
17 “All who enter the sacred groves for initiation in those unholy rituals that climaxed in that foul and obscene meal of pigs and mice will eat together and then die together.” God’s Decree.

Isaiah 66:15-17
New International Version
Isaiah 66:15-17
New International Version
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(A)
and his chariots(B) are like a whirlwind;(C)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
and his rebuke(D) with flames of fire.
16 For with fire(E) and with his sword(F)
the Lord will execute judgment(G) on all people,
and many will be those slain(H) by the Lord.
17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,(I) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,(J) rats(K) and other unclean things—they will meet their end(L) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.
