Isaiah 66:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶
For the Lord will execute judgment by fire
And by His sword on all mankind,
And those slain by the Lord will be many.
¹⁷
“Those who [vainly attempt to] sanctify and cleanse themselves to go to the gardens [to sacrifice to idols],
Following after ^[a]one in the center,
Who eat swine’s flesh, ^[b]detestable things and mice,
Will come to an end together,” says the Lord.

¹⁸“For I know their works and their thoughts. The time is coming to gather all nations and languages, and they will come and see My glory.
