Isaiah 59:13

59:13 We have rebelled and tried to deceive the Lord;

we turned back from following our God.

We stir up 1  oppression and rebellion;

we tell lies we concocted in our minds. 2 

Isaiah 66:24

66:24 “They will go out and observe the corpses of those who rebelled against me, for the maggots that eat them will not die, 3  and the fire that consumes them will not die out. 4  All people will find the sight abhorrent.” 5 

1 tn Heb “speaking.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.”

3 tn Heb “for their worm will not die.”

4 tn Heb “and their fire will not be extinguished.”

5 tn Heb “and they will be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

sn This verse depicts a huge mass burial site where the seemingly endless pile of maggot-infested corpses are being burned.
