Isaiah 65:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ “I will judge them. I have even written it down.
    I will not keep silent.
    Instead, I will pay them back for all their sins.
⁷ I will punish them for their sins.
    I will also punish them for the sins of their people before them.”
    This is what the Lord says.
“They burned sacrifices on the mountains.
    They disobeyed me by worshiping other gods on the hills.
So I will make sure they are fully punished
    for all the sins they have committed.”

“Sometimes juice is still left in grapes that have been crushed.
    So people say, ‘Don’t destroy them.’
    They are still of some benefit.”
That is what I will do for the good of those who serve me.
    I will not destroy all my people.
