Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

The verse 12 is found in chapter 65 of Isaiah. God responds by showing that he was found by those who did not seek him, while Israel persisted in rebellion. Judgment against idolatry is contrasted with the preservation of God’s servants. Then comes the vision of new heavens and a new earth, where premature death, injustice, and suffering are radically transformed and creation is characterized by peace.

wohlan ich will euch zählen zum Schwert, daß ihr euch alle bücken müßt zur Schlachtung, darum daß ich rief, und ihr antwortetet nicht, daß ich redete, und ihr hörtet nicht, sonder tatet, was mir übel gefiel, und erwähltet, was mir nicht gefiel.
Yo también os destinaré al cuchillo, y todos vosotros os arrodillaréis al degolladero: por cuanto llamé, y no respondisteis; hablé, y no oísteis; sino que hicisteis lo malo delante de mis ojos, y escogisteis lo que a mí desagrada.
los destinaré a la espada y todos se inclinarán para la matanza. Porque llamé y no respondieron; hablé y no escucharon, sino que hicieron lo malo ante mis ojos y escogieron lo que no me agradaba».
Je vous destine au glaive, Et vous fléchirez tous le genou pour être égorgés; Car j'ai appelé, et vous n'avez point répondu, J'ai parlé, et vous n'avez point écouté; Mais vous avez fait ce qui est mal à mes yeux, Et vous avez choisi ce qui me déplaît.
io vi darò a conto alla spada, e voi tutti sarete messi giù per essere scannati; perciocchè io ho chiamato, e voi non avete risposto; io ho parlato, e voi non avete ascoltato; anzi avete fatto ciò che mi dispiace, ed avete eletto ciò che non mi aggrada.
Também vos destinareis à espada, e todos vos encurvareis à matança; porquanto chamei, e não respondestes; falei, e não ouvistes; mas fizestes o que era mau aos meus olhos, e escolhestes aquilo em que não tinha prazer.
我命定你們歸於刀下, 你們都要屈身被殺; 因為我呼喚,你們不回應; 我說話,你們不聽從; 反倒做我眼中看為惡的事, 選擇我所不喜悅的事。」
