THE LORD GOD SHALL SLAY THEE AND CALL HIS SERVANTS BY ANOTHER NAME
ISAIAH 65:9-16
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.
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.
BUT YE ARE THEY THAT FORSAKE
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.
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.
THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD, BEHOLD, MY SERVANTS SHALL EAT,
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:
BEHOLD, MY SERVANTS SHALL SING
FOR JOY OF HEART,
BUT YE SHALL CRY FOR SORROW
OF HEART, AND SHALL HOWL
FOR VEXATION OF SPIRIT.
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:
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.
LOVE
