Isaiah 66:1-2 & 5 NWT
66 This is what Jehovah has said: "The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where, then, is the house that you people can build for me, and where, then, is the place as a resting-place for me?" 2 "Now all these things my own hand has made, so that all these came to be," is the utterance of Jehovah. "To this one, then, I shall look, to the one afflicted and contrite in spirit and trembling at my word."
Isaiah 66:5

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
