Isaiah chapter 66 verses 6-16 Easy-To-Read-Version (ERV)
6 Listen! There is a loud noise coming from the city and from the Temple.
It is the LORD punishing his enemies.
He is giving them the punishment they deserve.

7-8 “A woman does not give birth before she feels the pain.
A woman must feel the pain of childbirth before she can see
the boy she gives birth to. Who ever heard of such a thing?
In the same way, no one ever saw a new world begin in one day.
No one has ever heard of a new nation that began in one day.
But when Zion feels the pain, she will give birth to her children.

9 In the same way, I will not cause pain
without allowing something new to be born.”
The LORD says this: “I promise that if I cause you the pain of birth,
I will not stop you from having your new nation.” Your God said this.

10 Jerusalem and all her friends, be happy!
All of you who were sad for her, be happy and rejoice with her!

11 Be happy that you will receive mercy
like milk coming from her breast.
Jerusalem’s “milk” will satisfy you!
You will drink it and enjoy her glory.

12 This is what the LORD says:
“Look, I will give Jerusalem peace that will flow in like a river.
Wealth from all the nations will come flowing into her like a flood.
And like little babies, you will drink that ‘milk.’
I will hold you in my arms,
and bounce you on my knees.

13 I will comfort you like a mother comforting her child.
You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”

14 When you see these things, you will be happy.
You will be free and grow like grass.
The LORD’s servants will see his power,
but his enemies will see his anger.

15 Look, the LORD is coming with fire.
His armies are coming with clouds of dust.
He is angry,
and he will punish his enemies with flames.

16 The LORD will judge the people
and will punish them with fire and his sword.
There will be many people killed by the LORD.
Isaiah chapter 66 verses 6-16 Easy-To-Read-Version (ERV)

2 Peter 3:10-13 (ERV)
“10 But the day when the Lord comes again will surprise everyone like the coming of a thief. The sky will disappear with a loud noise. Everything in the sky will be destroyed with fire. And the earth and everything in it will be burned up.
11 Everything will be destroyed in this way. So what kind of people should you be? Your lives should be holy and devoted to God.
12 You should be looking forward to the day of God, wanting more than anything else for it to come soon. When it comes, the sky will be destroyed with fire, and everything in the sky will melt with heat.
13 But God made a promise to us. And we are waiting for what he promised—a new sky and a new earth. That will be the place where goodness lives.”
