Isaiah 66:17-19
Good News Translation
17 The Lord says, “The end is near for those who purify themselves for pagan worship, who go in procession to sacred gardens,[a] and who eat pork and mice and other disgusting foods. 18 I know[b] their thoughts and their deeds. I am coming[c] 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,[d] and Lydia, with its skilled archers, and to Tubal and Greece. Among these nations they will proclaim my greatness.
