Isaiah 66:1-2

New International Reader's Version

The Lord Judges Some People and Blesses Others

66 The Lord says,

“Heaven is my throne.
    The earth is under my control.
So how could you ever build a house for me?
    Where would my resting place be?
²Didn’t I make everything by my power?
    That is how all things were created,”
    announces the Lord.

“The people I value are not proud.
They are sorry for the wrong things they have done.
They have great respect for what I say.
