Bible Reading for July 28

Isaiah 64
[1] Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that
the mountains might flow down at thy presence, [2] As when the melting fire
burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine
adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
[3] When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down,
the mountains flowed down at thy presence. [4] For since the beginning of the
world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen,
O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. [5]
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember
thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is
continuance, and we shall be saved. [6] But we are all as an unclean thing, and
all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and
our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
[7] And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to
take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us,
because of our iniquities.
[8] But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter;
and we all are the work of thy hand. [9] Be not wroth very sore, O LORD,
neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all
thy people. [10] Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
[11] Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is
burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. [12] Wilt thou
refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict
us very sore?

Isaiah 65
[1] I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought
me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my
name.
[2] I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which
walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; [3] A people that
provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and
burneth incense upon altars of brick; [4] Which remain among the graves, and
lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things
is in their vessels; [5] Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for
I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all
the day. [6] Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will
recompense, even recompense into their bosom, [7] Your iniquities, and the
iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense
upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure
their former work into their bosom. [8] Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is
found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it:
so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. [9] And I
will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my
mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
[10] And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for
the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. [11] But ye are
they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table
for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
[12] Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the
slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not
hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted
not.
[13] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye
shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty:
behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: [14] Behold, my
servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and
shall howl for vexation of spirit. [15] And ye shall leave your name for a
curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants
by another name: [16] That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless
himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by
the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they
are hid from mine eyes.
[17] For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall
not be remembered, nor come into mind. [18] But be ye glad and rejoice for ever
in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her
people a joy. [19] And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and
the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
[20] There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath
not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the
sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. [21] And they shall build
houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of
them. [22] They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and
another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine
elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. [23] They shall not labour in
vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the
LORD, and their offspring with them. [24] And it shall come to pass, that
before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
[25] The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw
like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor
destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 66
[1] Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my
footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of
my rest?
[2] For all those things hath mine hand made, and 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.
