“I will destine you to the sword,and you will all bow down to the slaughter;because when I called, you didn’t answer.When I spoke, you didn’t listen;but you did that which was evil in my eyes,and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
Isaiah 65:12 (WEB)
Context Reading
10Sharon will be a fold of flocks,and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in,for my people who have sought me. 11“But you who forsake Yahweh,who forget my holy mountain,who prepare a table for Fortune,and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny; 12I will destine you to the sword,and you will all bow down to the slaughter;because when I called, you didn’t answer.When I spoke, you didn’t listen;but you did that which was evil in my eyes,and chose that in which I didn’t delight.” 13Therefore the Lord Yahweh says,“Behold, my servants will eat,but you will be hungry;behold, my servants will drink,but you will be thirsty.Behold, my servants will rejoice,but you will be disappointed. 14Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart,but you will cry for sorrow of heart,and will wail for anguish of spirit.
