Isaiah 66:17-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 “Those who dedicate and purify themselves to enter the groves(A) following their leader,[a] eating meat from pigs, vermin, and rats, will perish together.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.
18 “Knowing[b] their works and their thoughts, I have come to gather all nations and languages;(B) they will come and see My glory. 19 I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put,[c] Lud (who are archers), Tubal, Javan,(C) and the islands far away—who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. And they will proclaim My glory among the nations.(D)
