Isaiah 66

Final Judgment and Joyous Restoration

1 This is what the Lord says:

Heaven  * 66:1–2 Ac 7:49–50 is my throne,  * 66:1 Ps 11:4; Mt 5:34–35; 23:22

and earth is my footstool.  * 66:1 1Ch 28:2; Ps 99:5

Where could you possibly build a house for me?

And where would my resting place be?  * 66:1 2Sm 7:5; 1Kg 8:27; Jr 23:24

2 My hand made all these things,

and so they all came into being.

This is the  Lord’s declaration.

I will look favorably on this kind of person:

one who is humble,  * 66:2 Ps 86:1; Pr 16:19; Mt 11:29 submissive  * 66:2 Lit broken  in spirit,  * 66:2 Ps 34:18; Mt 5:3; 1Tm 2:11

and trembles at my word.
