Discovery BoxIsaiah 61:11 
Context61:11 For just as the ground produces its crops
and a garden yields its produce,
so the sovereign Lord will cause deliverance 1 to grow,
and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations. 2
Isaiah 64:6
Context64:6 We are all like one who is unclean,
all our so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in your sight. 3
We all wither like a leaf;
our sins carry us away like the wind.
Isaiah 66:24
Context66:24 “They will go out and observe the corpses of those who rebelled against me, for the maggots that eat them will not die, 4 and the fire that consumes them will not die out. 5 All people will find the sight abhorrent.” 6

3 tn Heb “and like a garment of menstruation [are] all our righteous acts”; KJV, NIV “filthy rags”; ASV “a polluted garment.”
4 tn Heb “for their worm will not die.”
5 tn Heb “and their fire will not be extinguished.”
6 tn Heb “and they will be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
