The Book of Isaiah, Chapter 66ΗΣΑΪΑΣ ΞϚ′

Each verse opens with the running Greek, an English translation, and a discourse note (its connective, relation, and role in the argument). Below follows the word-by-word breakdown in six tiers: gloss, case (color), parsing, syntax, semantic force, and a lexical note.

Case Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Vocative Verb (no case) Indeclinable

Discourse notes head each verse: relation · connective · clause-flow. Indentation marks prominence — flush-left = main line of argument; indented = supporting / subordinate material.

Theme

True worship, final judgment, Zion's birth, and worldwide mission close the book.

Translation & textual notes

Isaiah 66 closes the book by setting true humility and acceptable worship over against hollow religiosity, then widening the horizon to birth, judgment, consolation, mission to the nations, and final moral division. The opening oracle insists that heaven and earth cannot contain God, so the one he regards is the humble and trembling hearer rather than the merely sacrificial formalist. Zion then appears as the mother who gives birth with astonishing suddenness, and Jerusalem becomes the place where comfort flows like a river even while the Lord arrives in fire against his enemies. The closing movement universalizes the vision: survivors are sent to distant nations, all flesh comes to worship, and the rebels remain as an everlasting warning. The Septuagint preserves the book's severe and majestic ending, where temple critique, maternal restoration, and cosmic pilgrimage stand together. Versification follows the LXX.

οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ οὐρανός μοι θρόνος ἡ δὲ γῆ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν μου ποῖον οἶκον οἰκοδομήσετέ μοι ἢ ποῖος τόπος τῆς καταπαύσεώς μου

Thus says the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is a footstool for my feet. What sort of house will you build for me, or what place is there for my resting?

Divine challengeasyndeton
The Lord opens by relativizing temple pretensions before his cosmic majesty and asking what human structure could contain him.
