Isaiah 65:6

Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,

Isaiah 65:6 · BSB

Isaiah 65:6 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 65.

2 All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,

3 to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,

4 sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.

5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.

6 Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,

7 both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,” says the LORD. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”

8 This is what the LORD says: “As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all.

9 And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and heirs from Judah; My elect will possess My mountains, and My servants will dwell there.

10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me.
