Isaiah 66:5-7
Contemporary English Version
The Lord Will Help Jerusalem
5 If you tremble
when the Lord speaks,
listen to what he says:
“Some of your own people hate
and reject you because of me.
They make fun and say,
‘Let the Lord show his power!
Let us see him
make you truly happy.’[a]
But those who say these things
will be terribly ashamed.”
6 Do you hear that noise
in the city and those shouts
coming from the temple?
It is the Lord shouting
as he punishes his enemies.
7 (A) Have you ever heard of a woman
who gave birth to a child
before having labor pains?

New International Version
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who tremble at his word:(A)
“Your own people who hate(B) you,
and exclude you because of my name, have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
that we may see your joy!’
Yet they will be put to shame.(C)
6 Hear that uproar from the city,
hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(D) of the Lord
repaying(E) his enemies all they deserve.
