Isaiah 66:17-24
1599 Geneva Bible

17 They that sanctify [a]themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst eating [b]swine’s flesh, and such abomination, even the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

18 For I will visit their works, and their imaginations, for it shall come that I will gather all nations, and tongues, and they shall come, and see my [c]glory.

19 And I will set a [d]sign among them, and will send those that [e]escape of them unto the nations of [f]Tarshish, [g]Pul, and [h]Lud, and to them that draw the [i]bow, to [j]Tubal and [k]Javan, isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory, and [l]they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

20 And they shall bring all your [m]brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations, upon [n]horses, and in chariots, and in horse litters, and upon mules, and swift beasts, to Jerusalem mine holy Mountain, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel offer in a clean vessel in the House of the Lord.

21 And I will take of them for [o]Priests, and for Levites, saith the Lord.

22 For as the new [p]heavens, and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.

23 And from month to month, and from Sabbath to Sabbath shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the [q]carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their [r]worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring [s]unto all flesh.

Isaiah 66:17-24
New International Version

17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,(A) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,(B) rats(C) and other unclean things—they will meet their end(D) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.

18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done,(E) am about to come[a] and gather the people of all nations(F) and languages, and they will come and see my glory.(G)

19 “I will set a sign(H) among them, and I will send some of those who survive(I) to the nations—to Tarshish,(J) to the Libyans[b] and Lydians(K) (famous as archers), to Tubal(L) and Greece,(M) and to the distant islands(N) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.(O) They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring(P) all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain(Q) in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”(R) says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.(S) 21 And I will select some of them also to be priests(T) and Levites,” says the Lord.

22 “As the new heavens and the new earth(U) that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure.(V) 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath(W) to another, all mankind will come and bow down(X) before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies(Y) of those who rebelled(Z) against me; the worms(AA) that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched,(AB) and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
