New Testament

Isaiah 66:15-19 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

15. The Lord will come with fire. He will ride on the wings of a storm to punish those he is angry with.

16. By fire and sword he will punish all the people of the world whom he finds guilty — and many will be put to death.

17. The Lord says, “The end is near for those who purify themselves for pagan worship, who go in procession to sacred gardens, and who eat pork and mice and other disgusting foods.

18. I know their thoughts and their deeds. I am coming to gather the people of all the nations. When they come together, they will see what my power can do

19. and will know that I am the one who punishes them.“But I will spare some of them and send them to the nations and the distant lands that have not heard of my fame or seen my greatness and power: to Spain, Libya, and Lydia, with its skilled archers, and to Tubal and Greece. Among these nations they will proclaim my greatness.
