15 uLook down from heaven,
And see vfrom Your habitation, holy and glorious.
Where are Your zeal and Your strength,
The yearning wof Your heart and Your mercies toward me?
Are they restrained?
16 xDoubtless You are our Father,
Though Abraham ywas ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O Lord, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 O Lord, why have You zmade us stray from Your ways,
And hardened our heart from Your fear?
Return for Your servants’ sake,
The tribes of Your inheritance.
18 aYour holy people have possessed it but a little while;
bOur adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
19 We have become like those of old, over whom You never ruled,
Those who were never called by Your name.
64 Oh, that You would 1rend the heavens!
That You would come down!
That the mountains might shake at Your apresence—
As fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3 When bYou did awesome things for which we did not look,
You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world
cMen have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
dIn these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved.
6 But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all eour righteousnesses are like 2filthy rags;
We all ffade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
7 And there is no one who calls on Your name,
Who stirs himself up to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us,
And have 3consumed us because of our iniquities.
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our gpotter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!
10 Your holy cities are a wilderness,
Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and beautiful 4temple,
Where our fathers praised You,
Is burned up with fire;
And all hour pleasant things 5are laid waste.
12 iWill You restrain Yourself because of these things, O Lord?
The Righteousness of God’s Judgment
65 “I was asought by those who did not ask for Me;
I was found by those who did not seek Me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’
To a nation that bwas not called by My name.
2 cI have stretched out My hands all day long to a drebellious people,
Who ewalk in a way that is not good,
According to their own thoughts;
3 A people fwho provoke Me to anger continually to My face;
gWho sacrifice in gardens,
And burn incense on altars of brick;
4 hWho sit among the graves,
And spend the night in the tombs;
iWho eat swine’s flesh,
And the broth of 1abominable things is in their vessels;
5 jWho say, ‘Keep to yourself,
Do not come near me,
For I am holier than you!’
These 2are smoke in My nostrils,
A fire that burns all the day.
6 “Behold, kit is written before Me:
lI will not keep silence, mbut will repay—
Even repay into their bosom—
7 Your iniquities and nthe iniquities of your fathers together,”
Says the Lord,
o“Who have burned incense on the mountains
pAnd blasphemed Me on the hills;
Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”
“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
And one says, ‘Do not destroy it,
For qa blessing is in it,’
So will I do for My servants’ sake,
That I may not destroy them rall.
9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
And from Judah an heir of My mountains;
My select shall inherit it,
And My servants shall dwell there.
10 tSharon shall be a fold of flocks,
And uthe Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,
For My people who have vsought Me.
11 “But you are those who forsake the Lord,
Who forget wMy holy mountain,
Who prepare xa table for 3Gad,
And who furnish a drink offering for 4Meni.
12 Therefore I will number you for the sword,
And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;
yBecause, when I called, you did not answer;
When I spoke, you did not hear,
But did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, My servants shall eat,
But you shall be hungry;
Behold, My servants shall drink,
But you shall be thirsty;
Behold, My servants shall rejoice,
But you shall be ashamed;
14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart,
But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,
And zwail for 5grief of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name aas a curse to bMy chosen;
For the Lord God will slay you,
And ccall His servants by another name;
16 dSo that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And ehe who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My eyes.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
