2 For all those things hath mine hand made and all those things have been saith the LORD but to this man will I look even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and trembleth at my word
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man he that sacrificeth a lamb as if he cut off a dog's neck he that offereth an oblation as if he offered swine's blood he that burneth incense as if he blessed an idol Yea they have chosen their own ways and their soul delighteth in their abominations
4 I also will choose their delusions and will bring their fears upon them because when I called none did answer when I spake they did not hear but they did evil before mine eyes and chose that in which I delighted not
5 Hear the word of the LORD ye that tremble at his word Your brethren that hated you that cast you out for my name's sake said Let the LORD be glorified but he shall appear to your joy and they shall be ashamed
6 A voice of noise from the city a voice from the temple a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies
7 Before she travailed she brought forth before her pain came she was delivered of a man child
8 Who hath heard such a thing who hath seen such things Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day or shall a nation be born at once for as soon as Zion travailed she brought forth her children
9 Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth saith the LORD shall I cause to bring forth and shut the womb saith thy God
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem and be glad with her all ye that love her rejoice for joy with her all ye that mourn for her
11 That ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations that ye may milk out and be delighted with the abundance of her glory
12 For thus saith the LORD Behold I will extend peace to her like a river and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream then shall ye suck ye shall be borne upon her sides and be dandled upon her knees
13 As one whom his mother comforteth so will I comfort you and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem
14 And when ye see this your heart shall rejoice and your bones shall flourish like an herb and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants and his indignation toward his enemies
15 For behold the LORD will come with fire and with his chariots like a whirlwind to render his anger with fury and his rebuke with flames of fire
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh and the slain of the LORD shall be many
17 They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst eating swine's flesh and the abomination and the mouse shall be consumed together saith the LORD
18 For I know their works and their thoughts it shall come that I will gather all nations and tongues and they shall come and see my glory 19 And I will set a sign among them and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations to Tarshish Pul and Lud that draw the bow to Tubal and Javan to the isles afar off that have not heard my fame neither have seen my glory and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles 20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses and in chariots and in litters and upon mules and upon swift beasts to my holy mountain Jerusalem saith the LORD as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites saith the LORD
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me saith the LORD so shall your seed and your name remain
23 And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another and from one sabbath to another shall all flesh come to worship before me saith the LORD
24 And they shall go forth and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me for their worm shall not die neither shall their fire be quenched and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh
