Isaiah
Chapter 12
(AMP)
Isaiah 12
Ready to read
1
Who sit among the graves [trying to conjure up evil spirits] and spend the night in the secret places [where spirits are thought to dwell]; Who eat swine's flesh, And their pots hold the broth of[1] unclean meat;
2
Who say, 'Keep to yourself, do not come near me, For I[2] am too holy for you [and you might defile me]!' These [people] are smoke in My nostrils, A fire that burns all the day.
3
"Indeed, it is written before Me, I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will even repay it [directly] into their[3] arms,
4
Both your own wickedness and the wickedness of your fathers," says the LORD. "Since they too have made offerings with incense on the mountains And scorned and taunted Me on the hills, I therefore will measure [punishment for] their former work [directly] into their[4] arms."
5
This is what the LORD says, "As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one says, 'Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing and benefit in it,' So I will do for the sake of My servants In order not to destroy all of them.
6
"I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, And an heir of My mountains from Judah; Even My chosen ones shall inherit it, And My servants will live there.
