Isaiah 66:1-2

Final Judgment and Joyous Restoration

^{Tools
1} This is what the Lord says:

Heaven^(A) is My throne,^(B)
and earth is My footstool.^(C)
What house could you possibly build for Me?
And what place could be My home?^(D)

My hand made all these things,
and so they all came into being.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
I will look favorably on this kind of person:
one who is humble,^(E) submissive^(a) in spirit,^(F)
and trembles at My word.
