"A voice of the people from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord repaying retribution to his enemies! "
— Isaiah 66:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies.”
“A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompense to his enemies. ”
“A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that renders recompense to his enemies.”
“The sound of battle comes from the city; the sound comes from the temple! It is the sound of the LORD paying back his enemies.”
“A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.”
“There is a noise of war from the town, a sound from the Temple, the voice of the Lord giving punishment to his haters.”
“A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies.”
Whoever immolates an ox, it is as if he slaughters a man. Whoever sacrifices a sheep, it is as if he is smashing the head of a dog. Whoever offers an oblation, it is as if he is offering swine’s blood. Whoever makes remembrance with incense, it is as if he is blessing an idol. All these things, they have chosen according to their own ways, and their soul has taken delight in their own abominations.
Therefore, I also will choose their illusions, and I will lead over them the things that they feared. For I called, and there was no one who would respond. I have spoken, and they have not listened. And they have done evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, they have chosen.
Listen to the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word. Your brothers, who hate you and who cast you out because of my name, have said: “Let the Lord be glorified, and we will see by your rejoicing.” But they themselves will be confounded.
A voice of the people from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord repaying retribution to his enemies!
Before she was in labor, she gave birth. Before her time arrived for delivery, she gave birth to a male child.
Who has ever heard of such a thing? And who has seen anything like this? Will the earth give birth in one day? Or will a nation be born all at once? For Zion has been in labor, and she has given birth to her sons.
Will I, who causes others to give birth, not also give birth myself, says the Lord? Will I, who bestows generation upon others, be barren myself, says the Lord your God?
