ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

Isaiah 1

1. The vision <02377> of Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz

<0531>, which <0834> he saw <02372> concerning <05921> Judah

<03063> and Jerusalem <03389> in the days <03117> of Uzziah

<05818>, Jotham <03147>, Ahaz <0271>, [and] Hezekiah <02396>,

kings <04428> of Judah <03063>.

2. Hear <08085>, O heavens <08064>, and give ear <0238>, O

earth <0776>: for the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696>, I have

nourished <01431> and brought <07311> up children <01121>, and

they have rebelled <06586> against me.

3 The ox <07794> knoweth <03045> his owner <07069>, and the ass

<02543> his master's <01167> crib <018>: [but] Israel <03478>

doth not know <03045>, my people <05971> doth not consider

<0995>.

4 Ah <01945> sinful <02398> nation <01471>, a people <05971>

laden <03515> with iniquity <05771>, a seed <02233> of evildoers

<07489>, children <01121> that are corrupters <07843>: they have

forsaken <05800> the LORD <03068>, they have provoked <05006>

the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478> unto anger <05006>, they

are gone <02114> away backward <0268>.

5 Why should ye be stricken <05221> any more <05750>? ye will

revolt <05627> more and more: the whole <03605> head <07218> is

sick <02483>, and the whole <03605> heart <03824> faint <01742>.

6 From the sole <03709> of the foot <07272> even unto the head

<07218> [there is] no <0369> soundness <04974> in it; [but]

wounds <06482>, and bruises <02250>, and putrifying <02961>

sores <04347>: they have not been closed <02115>, neither

<03808> bound <02280> up, neither <03808> mollified <07401> with

ointment <08081>.

7 Your country <0776> [is] desolate <08077>, your cities

<05892> [are] burned <08313> with fire <0784>: your land <0127>,

strangers <02114> devour <0398> it in your presence <05048>, and

[it is] desolate <08077>, as overthrown <04114> by strangers

<02114>.

8 And the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726> is left <03498> as a

cottage <05521> in a vineyard <03754>, as a lodge <04412> in a

garden of cucumbers <04750>, as a besieged <05341> city <05892>.

9 Except <03884> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> had left

<03498> unto us a very <04592> small <04592> remnant <08300>, we

should have been <01961> as Sodom <05467>, [and] we should have

been like <01819> unto Gomorrah <06017>.

10. Hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, ye

rulers <07101> of Sodom <05467>; give ear <0238> unto the law

<08451> of our God <0430>, ye people <05971> of Gomorrah <06017>.

11 To what <04100> purpose [is] the multitude <07230> of your

sacrifices <02077> unto me? saith <0559> the LORD <03068>: I am

full <07646> of the burnt <05930> offerings of rams <0352>, and

the fat <02459> of fed <04806> beasts <04806>; and I delight

<02654> not in the blood <01818> of bullocks <06499>, or of

lambs <03532>, or of he goats <06260>.

12 When <03588> ye come <0935> to appear <07200> before <06440>

me, who <04310> hath required <01245> this <02063> at your hand

<03027>, to tread <07429> my courts <02691>?

13 Bring <0935> no <03808> more <05750> vain <07723> oblations

<04503>; incense <07004> is an abomination <08441> unto me; the

new <02320> moons <02320> and sabbaths <07676>, the calling

<07121> of assemblies <04744>, I cannot away with; [it is]

iniquity <0205>, even the solemn <02282> meeting <06116>.

14 Your new <02320> moons <02320> and your appointed <04150>

feasts my soul <05315> hateth <08130>: they are a trouble

<02960> unto me; I am weary <03811> to bear <05375> [them].

15 And when ye spread <06566> forth your hands <03709>, I will

hide <05956> mine eyes <05869> from you: yea <01571>, when

<03588> ye make many <07235> prayers <08605>, I will not hear

<08085>: your hands <03027> are full <04390> of blood <01818>.

16. Wash <07364> you, make you clean <02135>; put <05493> away

<05493> the evil <07455> of your doings <04611> from before

<05048> mine eyes <05869>; cease <02308> to do evil <07489>;

17 Learn <03925> to do well <03190>; seek <01875> judgment

<04941>, relieve <0833> the oppressed <02541>, judge <08199> the

fatherless <03490>, plead <07378> for the widow <0490>.

18 Come <03212> now <04994>, and let us reason <03198> together,

saith <0559> the LORD <03068>: though <0518> your sins <02399>

be as scarlet <08144>, they shall be as white <03835> as snow

<07950>; though <0518> they be red <0119> like <01819> crimson

<08438>, they shall be as wool <06785>.

19 If <0518> ye be willing <014> and obedient <08085>, ye shall

eat <0398> the good <02898> of the land <0776>:

20 But if <0518> ye refuse <03985> and rebel <04784>, ye shall

be devoured <0398> with the sword <02719>: for the mouth <06310>

of the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> [it].

21. How <0349> is the faithful <0539> city <07151> become

<01961> an harlot <02181>! it was full <04392> of judgment

<04941>; righteousness <06664> lodged <03885> in it; but now

<06258> murderers <07523>.

22 Thy silver <03701> is become <01961> dross <05509>, thy wine

<05435> mixed <04107> with water <04325>:

23 Thy princes <08269> [are] rebellious <05637>, and companions

<02270> of thieves <01590>: every <03605> one loveth <0157>

gifts <07810>, and followeth <07291> after rewards <08021>: they

judge <08199> not the fatherless <03490>, neither <03808> doth

the cause <07379> of the widow <0490> come <0935> unto them.

24 Therefore <03651> saith <05002> the Lord <0113>, the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635>, the mighty <046> One of Israel <03478>,

Ah <01945>, I will ease <05162> me of mine adversaries <06862>,

and avenge <05358> me of mine enemies <0341>:

25 And I will turn <07725> my hand <03027> upon thee, and

purely <01252> purge <06884> away thy dross <05509>, and take

<05493> away <05493> all <03605> thy tin <0913>:

26 And I will restore <07725> thy judges <08199> as at the

first <07223>, and thy counsellors <03289> as at the beginning

<08462>: afterward thou shalt be called <07121>, The city

<05892> of righteousness <06664>, the faithful <0539> city

<07151>.

27 Zion <06726> shall be redeemed <06299> with judgment <04941>,

and her converts <07725> with righteousness <06666>.

28 And the destruction <07667> of the transgressors <06586> and

of the sinners <02400> [shall be] together <03162>, and they

that forsake <05800> the LORD <03068> shall be consumed <03615>.

29 For they shall be ashamed <0954> of the oaks <0352> which

<0834> ye have desired <02530>, and ye shall be confounded

<02659> for the gardens <01593> that ye have chosen <0977>.

30 For ye shall be as an oak <0424> whose leaf <05929> fadeth

<05034>, and as a garden <01593> that hath no <0369> water

<04325>.

31 And the strong <02634> shall be as tow <05296>, and the

maker <06467> of it as a spark <05213>, and they shall both

<08147> burn <01197> together <03162>, and none <0369> shall

quench <03518> [them].

Isaiah 2

1. The word <01697> that Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz

<0531> saw <02372> concerning <05921> Judah <03063> and

Jerusalem <03389>.

2 And it shall come <01961> to pass in the last <0319> days

<03117>, [that] the mountain <02022> of the LORD'S <03068> house

<01004> shall be established <03559> in the top <07218> of the

mountains <02022>, and shall be exalted <05375> above the hills

<01389>; and all <03605> nations <01471> shall flow <05102> unto

it.

3 And many <07227> people <05971> shall go <01980> and say

<0559>, Come <03212> ye, and let us go <05927> up to the

mountain <02022> of the LORD <03068>, to the house <01004> of

the God <0430> of Jacob <03290>; and he will teach <03384> us of

his ways <01870>, and we will walk <03212> in his paths <0734>:

for out of Zion <06726> shall go <03318> forth <03318> the law

<08451>, and the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> from Jerusalem

<03389>.

4 And he shall judge <08199> among <0996> the nations <01471>,

and shall rebuke <03198> many <07227> people <05971>: and they

shall beat <03807> their swords <02719> into plowshares <0855>,

and their spears <02595> into pruninghooks <04211>: nation

<01471> shall not lift <05375> up sword <02719> against <0413>

nation <01471>, neither <03808> shall they learn <03925> war

<04421> any more <05750>.

5 O house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, come <03212> ye, and let us

walk <03212> in the light <0216> of the LORD <03068>.

6. Therefore thou hast forsaken <05203> thy people <05971> the

house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, because <03588> they be

replenished <04390> from the east <06924>, and [are] soothsayers

<06049> like the Philistines <06430>, and they please <05606>

themselves in the children <03206> of strangers <05237>.

7 Their land <0776> also is full <04390> of silver <03701> and

gold <02091>, neither <03808> [is there any] end <07097> of

their treasures <0214>; their land <0776> is also full <04390>

of horses <05483>, neither <03808> [is there any] end <07097> of

their chariots <04818>:

8 Their land <0776> also is full <04390> of idols <0457>; they

worship <07812> the work <04639> of their own hands <03027>,

that which <0834> their own fingers <0676> have made <06213>:

9 And the mean <0120> man <01201> boweth <07817> down <07817>,

and the great man <0376> humbleth <08213> himself: therefore

forgive <05375> them not.

10. Enter <0935> into the rock <06697>, and hide <02934> thee

in the dust <06083>, for fear <06343> of the LORD <03068>, and

for the glory <01926> of his majesty <01347>.

11 The lofty <01365> looks <05869> of man <0120> shall be

humbled <08213>, and the haughtiness <07312> of men <0582> shall

be bowed <07817> down <07817>, and the LORD <03068> alone <0905>

shall be exalted <07682> in that day <03117>.

12 For the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>

[shall be] upon every <03605> [one that is] proud <01343> and

lofty <07311>, and upon every <03605> [one that is] lifted

<05375> up; and he shall be brought <08213> low <08213>:

13 And upon all <03605> the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <03844>,

[that are] high <07311> and lifted <05375> up, and upon all

<03605> the oaks <0437> of Bashan <01316>,

14 And upon all <03605> the high <07311> mountains <02022>, and

upon all <03605> the hills <01389> [that are] lifted <05375> up,

15 And upon every <03605> high <01364> tower <04026>, and upon

every <03605> fenced <01219> wall <02346>,

16 And upon all <03605> the ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659>,

and upon all <03605> pleasant <02532> pictures <07914>.

17 And the loftiness <01365> of man <0120> shall be bowed

<07817> down <07817>, and the haughtiness <07312> of men <0582>

shall be made low <08213>: and the LORD <03068> alone <0905>

shall be exalted <07682> in that day <03117>.

18 And the idols <0457> he shall utterly <03632> abolish

<02498>.

19 And they shall go <0935> into the holes <04631> of the rocks

<06697>, and into the caves <04247> of the earth <06083>, for

fear <06343> of the LORD <03068>, and for the glory <01926> of

his majesty <01347>, when he ariseth <06965> to shake <06206>

terribly <06206> the earth <0776>.

20 In that day <03117> a man <0120> shall cast <07993> his

idols <0457> of silver <03701>, and his idols <0457> of gold

<02091>, which <0834> they made [each one] for himself to

worship <07812>, to the moles <02661> and to the bats <05847>;

21 To go <0935> into the clefts <05366> of the rocks <06697>,

and into the tops <05585> of the ragged rocks <05553>, for fear

<06343> of the LORD <03068>, and for the glory <01926> of his

majesty <01347>, when he ariseth <06965> to shake <06206>

terribly <06206> the earth <0776>.

22 Cease <02308> ye from man <0120>, whose <0834> breath

<05397> [is] in his nostrils <0639>: for wherein <04100> is he

to be accounted <02803> of?

Isaiah 3

1. For, behold <02009>, the Lord <0113>, the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635>, doth take <05493> away <05493> from Jerusalem

<03389> and from Judah <03063> the stay <04937> and the staff

<04938>, the whole <03605> stay <08172> of bread <03899>, and

the whole <03605> stay <04937> of water <04325>,

2 The mighty <01368> man, and the man <0376> of war <04421>,

the judge <08199>, and the prophet <05030>, and the prudent

<07080>, and the ancient <02204>,

3 The captain <08269> of fifty <02572>, and the honourable man,

and the counsellor <03289>, and the cunning <02450> artificer

<02796>, and the eloquent <0995> orator <03908>.

4 And I will give <05414> children <05288> [to be] their

princes <08269>, and babes <08586> shall rule <04910> over them.

5 And the people <05971> shall be oppressed <05065>, every

<0376> one <0376> by another, and every <0376> one <0376> by his

neighbour <07453>: the child <05288> shall behave <07292>

himself proudly <07292> against the ancient <02204>, and the

base <07034> against the honourable <03519>.

6 When <03588> a man <0376> shall take <08610> hold <08610> of

his brother <0251> of the house <01004> of his father <01>,

[saying], Thou hast clothing <08071>, be thou our ruler <07101>,

and [let] this <02063> ruin <04384> [be] under <08478> thy hand

<03027>:

7 In that day <03117> shall he swear <05375>, saying <0559>, I

will not be an healer <02280>; for in my house <01004> [is]

neither <0369> bread <03899> nor <0369> clothing <08071>: make

<07760> me not a ruler <07101> of the people <05971>.

8 For Jerusalem <03389> is ruined <03782>, and Judah <03063> is

fallen <05307>: because <03588> their tongue <03956> and their

doings <04611> [are] against <0413> the LORD <03068>, to provoke

<04784> the eyes <05869> of his glory <03519>.

9. The shew <01971> of their countenance <06440> doth witness

<05707> against them; and they declare <05046> their sin <02403>

as Sodom <05467>, they hide <03582> [it] not. Woe <0188> unto

their soul <05315>! for they have rewarded <01580> evil <07451>

unto themselves <01992>.

10 Say <0559> ye to the righteous <06662>, that [it shall be]

well <02896> [with him]: for they shall eat <0398> the fruit

<06529> of their doings <04611>.

11 Woe <0188> unto the wicked <07563>! [it shall be] ill

<07451> [with him]: for the reward <01576> of his hands <03027>

shall be given <06213> him.

12 [As for] my people <05971>, children <05768> [are] their

oppressors <05065>, and women <0802> rule <04910> over them. O

my people <05971>, they which lead <0833> thee cause [thee] to

err <08582>, and destroy <01104> the way <01870> of thy paths

<0734>.

13 The LORD <03068> standeth <05324> up to plead <07378>, and

standeth <05975> to judge <01777> the people <05971>.

14 The LORD <03068> will enter <0935> into judgment <04941>

with the ancients <02204> of his people <05971>, and the princes

<08269> thereof: for ye have eaten <0398> up the vineyard

<03754>; the spoil <01500> of the poor <06041> [is] in your

houses <01004>.

15 What <04100> mean ye [that] ye beat <01792> my people

<05971> to pieces, and grind <02912> the faces <06440> of the

poor <06041>? saith <05002> the Lord <03068> GOD <03069> of

hosts <06635>.

16. Moreover the LORD <03068> saith <0559>, Because the

daughters <01121> of Zion <06726> are haughty <01361>, and walk

<03212> with stretched <05186> forth necks <01627> and wanton

<08265> eyes <05869>, walking <01980> and mincing <02952> [as]

they go <03212>, and making a tinkling <05913> with their feet

<07272>:

17 Therefore the Lord <0136> will smite <05596> with a scab

<05597> the crown <06936> of the head <06936> of the daughters

<01121> of Zion <06726>, and the LORD <03068> will discover

<06168> their secret <06596> parts.

18 In that day <03117> the Lord <0136> will take <05493> away

<05493> the bravery <08597> of [their] tinkling ornaments

<05914> [about their feet], and [their] cauls <07636>, and

[their] round <07720> tires <07720> like the moon,

19 The chains <05188>, and the bracelets <08285>, and the

mufflers <07479>,

20 The bonnets <06287>, and the ornaments <06807> of the legs

<06807>, and the headbands <07196>, and the tablets, and the

earrings <03908>,

21 The rings <02885>, and nose <0639> jewels <05141>,

22 The changeable <04254> suits of apparel <04254>, and the

mantles <04595>, and the wimples <04304>, and the crisping

<02754> pins,

23 The glasses <01549>, and the fine linen <05466>, and the

hoods <06797>, and the vails <07289>.

24 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] instead <08478> of

sweet <01314> smell <01314> there shall be stink <04716>; and

instead <08478> of a girdle <02290> a rent <05364>; and instead

<08478> of well <04639> set hair <04748> baldness <07144>; and

instead <08478> of a stomacher <06614> a girding <04228> of

sackcloth <08242>; [and] burning <03587> instead <08478> of

beauty <03308>.

25 Thy men <04962> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>, and

thy mighty <01369> in the war <04421>.

26 And her gates <06607> shall lament <0578> and mourn <056>;

and she [being] desolate <05352> shall sit <03427> upon the

ground <0776>.

Isaiah 4

1. And in that day <03117> seven <07651> women <0802> shall

take <02388> hold <02388> of one <0259> man <0376>, saying

<0559>, We will eat <0398> our own bread <03899>, and wear

<03847> our own apparel <08071>: only <07535> let us be called

<07121> by thy name <08034>, to take <0622> away our reproach

<02781>.

2. In that day <03117> shall the branch <06780> of the LORD

<03068> be beautiful <06643> and glorious <03519>, and the fruit

<06529> of the earth <0776> [shall be] excellent <01347> and

comely <08597> for them that are escaped <06413> of Israel

<03478>.

3 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that he that is] left

<07604> in Zion <06726>, and [he that] remaineth <03498> in

Jerusalem <03389>, shall be called <0559> holy <06918>, [even]

every <03605> one that is written <03789> among the living

<02416> in Jerusalem <03389>:

4 When <0518> the Lord <0136> shall have washed <07364> away

the filth <06675> of the daughters <01121> of Zion <06726>, and

shall have purged <01740> the blood <01818> of Jerusalem <03389>

from the midst <07130> thereof by the spirit <07307> of judgment

<04941>, and by the spirit <07307> of burning <01197>.

5 And the LORD <03068> will create <01254> upon every <03605>

dwelling <04349> place of mount <02022> Zion <06726>, and upon

her assemblies <04744>, a cloud <06051> and smoke <06227> by day

<03119>, and the shining <05051> of a flaming <03852> fire

<0784> by night <03915>: for upon all <03605> the glory <03519>

[shall be] a defence <02646>.

6 And there shall be a tabernacle <05521> for a shadow <06738>

in the daytime <03119> from the heat <02721>, and for a place of

refuge <04268>, and for a covert <04563> from storm <02230> and

from rain <04306>.

Isaiah 5

1. Now <04994> will I sing <07891> to my wellbeloved <03039> a

song <07892> of my beloved <01730> touching his vineyard <03754>.

My wellbeloved <03039> hath a vineyard <03754> in a very

fruitful hill <07161>:

2 And he fenced <05823> it, and gathered out the stones <05619>

thereof, and planted <05193> it with the choicest <08321> vine

<08321>, and built <01129> a tower <04026> in the midst <08432>

of it, and also <01571> made <02672> a winepress <03342> therein

<08432>: and he looked <06960> that it should bring <06213>

forth <06213> grapes <06025>, and it brought <06213> forth

<06213> wild <0891> grapes <0891>.

3 And now <06258>, O inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>,

and men <0376> of Judah <03063>, judge <08199>, I pray <04994>

you, betwixt <0996> me and my vineyard <03754>.

4 What <04100> could have been done <06466> more <05750> to my

vineyard <03754>, that I have not done <06466> in it? wherefore

<04069>, when I looked <06960> that it should bring <06213>

forth <06213> grapes <06025>, brought <06213> it forth <06213>

wild <0891> grapes <0891>?

5 And now <06258> go to; I will tell <03045> you what I will do

<06213> to my vineyard <03754>: I will take <05493> away <05493>

the hedge <04881> thereof, and it shall be eaten <0398> up;

[and] break <06555> down the wall <01447> thereof, and it shall

be trodden <04823> down:

6 And I will lay it waste <01326>: it shall not be pruned

<02167>, nor <03808> digged <05737>; but there shall come

<05927> up briers <08068> and thorns <07898>: I will also

command <06680> the clouds <05645> that they rain <04305> no

rain <04306> upon it.

7 For the vineyard <03754> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>

[is] the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and the men <0376> of

Judah <03063> his pleasant <08191> plant <05194>: and he looked

<06970> for judgment <04941>, but behold <02009> oppression

<04939>; for righteousness <06666>, but behold <02009> a cry

<06818>.

8. Woe <01945> unto them that join <05060> house <01004> to

house <01004>, [that] lay <07126> field <07704> to field <07704>,

till <05704> [there be] no <0675> place <04725>, that they may

be placed <03427> alone <0905> in the midst <07130> of the earth

<0776>!

9 In mine ears <0241> [said] the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>,

Of a truth many <07227> houses <01004> shall be desolate <08047>,

[even] great <01419> and fair <02896>, without <0369>

inhabitant <03427>.

10 Yea <03588>, ten <06235> acres <06776> of vineyard <03754>

shall yield <06213> one <0259> bath <01324>, and the seed

<02233> of an homer <02563> shall yield <06213> an ephah <0374>.

11 Woe <01945> unto them that rise <07925> up early <07925> in

the morning <01242>, [that] they may follow <07291> strong drink

<07941>; that continue <0309> until night <05399>, [till] wine

<03196> inflame <01814> them!

12 And the harp <03658>, and the viol <05035>, the tabret

<08596>, and pipe <02485>, and wine <03196>, are in their feasts

<04960>: but they regard <05027> not the work <06467> of the

LORD <03068>, neither <03808> consider <07200> the operation

<04639> of his hands <03027>.

13 Therefore <03651> my people <05971> are gone into captivity

<01540>, because [they have] no <01097> knowledge <01847>: and

their honourable <03519> men <04962> [are] famished <07458>, and

their multitude <01995> dried <06704> up with thirst <06772>.

14 Therefore <03651> hell <07585> hath enlarged <07337> herself

<05315>, and opened <06473> her mouth <06310> without <01097>

measure <02706>: and their glory <01926>, and their multitude

<01995>, and their pomp <07588>, and he that rejoiceth <05937>,

shall descend <03381> into it.

15 And the mean <0120> man <0120> shall be brought <07817> down

<07817>, and the mighty <0376> man <0376> shall be humbled

<08213>, and the eyes <05869> of the lofty <01364> shall be

humbled <08213>:

16 But the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall be exalted

<01361> in judgment <04941>, and God <0410> that is holy <06918>

shall be sanctified <06942> in righteousness <06666>.

17 Then shall the lambs <03532> feed <07462> after their manner

<01699>, and the waste <02723> places of the fat <04220> ones

shall strangers <01481> eat <0398>.

18. Woe <01945> unto them that draw <04900> iniquity <05771>

with cords <02256> of vanity <07723>, and sin <02402> as it were

with a cart <05699> rope <05688>:

19 That say <0559>, Let him make speed <04116>, [and] hasten

<02363> his work <04639>, that we may see <07200> [it]: and let

the counsel <06098> of the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>

draw nigh <07126> and come <0935>, that we may know <03045> [it]!

20 Woe <01945> unto them that call <0559> evil <07451> good

<02896>, and good <02896> evil <07451>; that put <07760>

darkness <02822> for light <0216>, and light <0216> for darkness

<02822>; that put <07760> bitter <04751> for sweet <04966>, and

sweet <04966> for bitter <04751>!

21 Woe <01945> unto [them that are] wise <02450> in their own

eyes <05869>, and prudent <0995> in their own sight <06440>!

22 Woe <01945> unto [them that are] mighty <01368> to drink

<08354> wine <03196>, and men <0582> of strength <02428> to

mingle <04537> strong drink <07941>:

23 Which justify <06663> the wicked <07563> for reward <07810>,

and take <05493> away <05493> the righteousness <06666> of the

righteous <06662> from him!

24 Therefore <03651> as the fire <0784> devoureth <0398> the

stubble <07179>, and the flame <03852> consumeth <07503> the

chaff <02842>, [so] their root <08328> shall be as rottenness

<04716>, and their blossom <06525> shall go <05927> up as dust

<080>: because <03588> they have cast <03988> away the law

<08451> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and despised

<05006> the word <0565> of the Holy <06918> One of Israel

<03478>.

25 Therefore is the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> kindled

<02734> against his people <05971>, and he hath stretched

<05186> forth his hand <03027> against <05921> them, and hath

smitten <05221> them: and the hills <02022> did tremble <07264>,

and their carcases <05038> [were] torn <05478> in the midst

<07130> of the streets <02351>. For all <03605> this <02063> his

anger <0639> is not turned <07725> away, but his hand <03027>

[is] stretched <05186> out still <05750>.

26 And he will lift <05375> up an ensign <05251> to the nations

<01471> from far <07350>, and will hiss <08319> unto them from

the end <07097> of the earth <0776>: and, behold <02009>, they

shall come <0935> with speed <04120> swiftly <07031>:

27 None <0369> shall be weary <05889> nor <03808> stumble

<03782> among them; none <03808> shall slumber <05123> nor

<03808> sleep <03463>; neither <03808> shall the girdle <0232>

of their loins <02504> be loosed <06605>, nor <03808> the

latchet <08288> of their shoes <05275> be broken <05423>:

28 Whose <0834> arrows <02671> [are] sharp <08150>, and all

<03605> their bows <07198> bent <01869>, their horses <05483>'

hoofs <06541> shall be counted <02803> like flint <06864>, and

their wheels <01534> like a whirlwind:

29 Their roaring <07581> [shall be] like a lion <03833>, they

shall roar <07580> like young <03715> lions <03715>: yea, they

shall roar <05098>, and lay hold <0270> of the prey <02964>, and

shall carry <06403> [it] away safe <06403>, and none <0369>

shall deliver <05337> [it].

30 And in that day <03117> they shall roar <05098> against

<05921> them like the roaring <05100> of the sea <03220>: and if

[one] look <05027> unto the land <0776>, behold <02009> darkness

<02822> [and] sorrow <06862>, and the light <0216> is darkened

<02821> in the heavens <06183> thereof.

Isaiah 6

1. In the year <08141> that king <04428> Uzziah <05818> died

<04194> I saw <07200> also the Lord <0136> sitting <03427> upon

a throne <03678>, high <07311> and lifted <05375> up, and his

train <07757> filled <04390> the temple <01964>.

2 Above <04605> it stood <05975> the seraphims <08314>: each

<0259> one <0259> had six <08337> wings <03671>; with twain

<08147> he covered <03680> his face <06440>, and with twain

<08147> he covered <03680> his feet <07272>, and with twain

<08147> he did fly <05774>.

3 And one cried <07121> unto another <02088>, and said <0559>,

Holy <06918>, holy <06918>, holy <06918>, [is] the LORD <03068>

of hosts <06635>: the whole <03605> earth <0776> [is] full

<04393> of his glory <03519>.

4 And the posts <0520> of the door <05592> moved <05128> at the

voice <06963> of him that cried <07121>, and the house <01004>

was filled <04390> with smoke <06227>.

5. Then said <0559> I, Woe <0188> [is] me! for I am undone

<01820>; because <03588> I [am] a man <0376> of unclean <02931>

lips <08193>, and I dwell <03427> in the midst <08432> of a

people <05971> of unclean <02931> lips <08193>: for mine eyes

<05869> have seen <07200> the King <04428>, the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635>.

6 Then flew <05774> one <0259> of the seraphims <08314> unto me,

having a live <07531> coal <07531> in his hand <03027>, [which]

he had taken <03947> with the tongs <04457> from off <05921> the

altar <04196>:

7 And he laid <05060> [it] upon my mouth <06310>, and said

<0559>, Lo <02009>, this <02088> hath touched <05060> thy lips

<08193>; and thine iniquity <05771> is taken <05493> away

<05493>, and thy sin <02403> purged <03722>.

8 Also I heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the Lord <0136>,

saying <0559>, Whom shall I send <07971>, and who <04310> will

go <03212> for us? Then said <0559> I, Here <02005> [am] I; send

<07971> me.

9. And he said <0559>, Go <03212>, and tell <0559> this <02088>

people <05971>, Hear <08085> ye indeed, but understand <0995>

not; and see <07200> ye indeed, but perceive <03045> not.

10 Make the heart <03820> of this <02088> people <05971> fat

<08082>, and make their ears <0241> heavy <03513>, and shut

<08173> their eyes <05869>; lest <06435> they see <07200> with

their eyes <05869>, and hear <08085> with their ears <0241>, and

understand <0995> with their heart <03824>, and convert <07725>,

and be healed <07495>.

11 Then said <0559> I, Lord <0136>, how <05704> long <05704>?

And he answered <0559>, Until <05704> the cities <05892> be

wasted <07582> without <0369> inhabitant <03427>, and the houses

<01004> without <0369> man <0120>, and the land <0127> be

utterly desolate <08077>,

12 And the LORD <03068> have removed <07368> men <0120> far

<07368> away, and [there be] a great <07227> forsaking <05805>

in the midst <07130> of the land <0776>.

13 But yet <05750> in it [shall be] a tenth <06224>, and [it]

shall return <07725>, and shall be eaten <01197>: as a teil

<0424> tree, and as an oak <0437>, whose <0834> substance

<04678> [is] in them, when <0834> they cast <07995> [their

leaves: so] the holy <06944> seed <02233> [shall be] the

substance <04678> thereof.

Isaiah 7

1. And it came <01961> to pass in the days <03117> of Ahaz

<0271> the son <01121> of Jotham <03147>, the son <01121> of

Uzziah <05818>, king <04428> of Judah <03063>, [that] Rezin the

king <04428> of Syria <0758>, and Pekah <06492> the son <01121>

of Remaliah <07425>, king <04428> of Israel <03478>, went

<05927> up toward Jerusalem <03389> to war <04421> against

<05921> it, but could <03201> not prevail <03898> against

<05921> it.

2 And it was told <05046> the house <01004> of David <01732>,

saying <0559>, Syria <0758> is confederate <05117> with Ephraim

<0669>. And his heart <03824> was moved <05128>, and the heart

<03824> of his people <05971>, as the trees <06086> of the wood

<03293> are moved <05128> with the wind <07307>.

3 Then said <0559> the LORD <03068> unto Isaiah <03470>, Go

<03318> forth <03318> now <04994> to meet <07125> Ahaz <0271>,

thou, and Shearjashub <07610> thy son <01121>, at <0413> the end

<07097> of the conduit <08585> of the upper <05945> pool <01295>

in the highway <04546> of the fuller's <03526> field <07704>;

4 And say <0559> unto him, Take heed <08104>, and be quiet

<08252>; fear <03372> not, neither <0408> be fainthearted

<03824> for the two <08147> tails <02180> of these <0428>

smoking <06226> firebrands <0181>, for the fierce <02750> anger

<0639> of Rezin <07526> with Syria <0758>, and of the son

<01121> of Remaliah <07425>.

5 Because Syria <0758>, Ephraim <0669>, and the son <01121> of

Remaliah <07425>, have taken evil <07451> counsel <03289>

against <05921> thee, saying <0559>,

6 Let us go <05927> up against Judah <03063>, and vex <06972>

it, and let us make a breach <01234> therein for us, and set a

king <04428> in the midst <08432> of it, [even] the son <01121>

of Tabeal <02870>:

7 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, It

shall not stand <06965>, neither <03808> shall it come <01961>

to pass.

8 For the head <07218> of Syria <0758> [is] Damascus <01834>,

and the head <07218> of Damascus <01834> [is] Rezin <07526>; and

within threescore <07657> and five <02568> years <08141> shall

Ephraim <0669> be broken <02844>, that it be not a people

<05971>.

9 And the head <07218> of Ephraim <0669> [is] Samaria <08111>,

and the head <07218> of Samaria <08111> [is] Remaliah's <07425>

son <01121>. If <0518> ye will not believe <0539>, surely

<03588> ye shall not be established <0539>.

10. Moreover the LORD <03068> spake <01696> again <03254> unto

Ahaz <0271>, saying <0559>,

11 Ask <07592> thee a sign <0226> of the LORD <03068> thy God

<0430>; ask <07592> it either in the depth <06009>, or <0176> in

the height <01361> above <04605>.

12 But Ahaz <0271> said <0559>, I will not ask <07592>, neither

<03808> will I tempt <05254> the LORD <03068>.

13 And he said <0559>, Hear <08085> ye now <04994>, O house

<01004> of David <01732>; [Is it] a small <04592> thing for you

to weary <03811> men <0582>, but will ye weary <03811> my God

<0430> also <01571>?

14 Therefore <03651> the Lord <0136> himself <01931> shall give

<05414> you a sign <0226>; Behold <02009>, a virgin <05959>

shall conceive <02030>, and bear <03205> a son <01121>, and

shall call <07121> his name <08034> Immanuel <06005>.

15 Butter <02529> and honey <01706> shall he eat <0398>, that

he may know <03045> to refuse <03988> the evil <07451>, and

choose <0977> the good <02896>.

16 For before <02962> the child <05288> shall know <03045> to

refuse <03988> the evil <07451>, and choose <0977> the good

<02896>, the land <0127> that thou abhorrest <06973> shall be

forsaken <05800> of both <08147> her kings <04428>.

17. The LORD <03068> shall bring <0935> upon thee, and upon thy

people <05971>, and upon thy father's <01> house <01004>, days

<03117> that have not come <0935>, from the day <03117> that

Ephraim <0669> departed <05493> from Judah <03063>; [even

<0853>] the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>.

18 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] the LORD <03068> shall hiss <08319> for the fly <02070>

that [is] in the uttermost <07097> part of the rivers <02975> of

Egypt <04714>, and for the bee <01682> that [is] in the land

<0776> of Assyria <0804>.

19 And they shall come <0935>, and shall rest <05117> all

<03605> of them in the desolate <01327> valleys <05158>, and in

the holes <05357> of the rocks <05553>, and upon all <03605>

thorns <05285>, and upon all <03605> bushes <05097>.

20 In the same <01931> day <03117> shall the Lord <0136> shave

<01548> with a razor <08593> that is hired <07917>, [namely], by

them beyond <05676> the river <05104>, by the king <04428> of

Assyria <0804>, the head <07218>, and the hair <08181> of the

feet <07272>: and it shall also <01571> consume <05595> the

beard <02206>.

21 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] a man <0376> shall nourish <02421> a young <01241> cow

<05697>, and two <08147> sheep <06629>;

22 And it shall come <01961> to pass, for the abundance <07230>

of milk <02461> [that] they shall give <06213> he shall eat

<0398> butter <02529>: for butter <02529> and honey <01706>

shall every <03605> one eat <0398> that is left <03498> in the

land <0776>.

23 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] every <03605> place <04725> shall be, where <0834> there

were a thousand <0505> vines <01612> at a thousand <0505>

silverlings <03701>, it shall [even] be for briers <08068> and

thorns <07898>.

24 With arrows <02671> and with bows <07198> shall [men] come

<0935> thither <08033>; because <03588> all <03605> the land

<0776> shall become <01961> briers <08068> and thorns <07898>.

25 And [on] all <03605> hills <02022> that shall be digged

<05737> with the mattock <04576>, there shall not come <0935>

thither <08033> the fear <03374> of briers <08068> and thorns

<07898>: but it shall be for the sending <04916> forth of oxen

<07794>, and for the treading <04823> of lesser <07716> cattle

<07716>.

Isaiah 8

1. Moreover the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Take <03947>

thee a great <01419> roll <01549>, and write <03789> in it with

a man's <0582> pen <02747> concerning Mahershalalhashbaz <04122>.

2 And I took unto me faithful <0539> witnesses <05707> to

record <05749>, Uriah <0223> the priest <03548>, and Zechariah

<02148> the son <01121> of Jeberechiah <03000>.

3 And I went <07126> unto the prophetess <05031>; and she

conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son <01121>. Then said

<0559> the LORD <03068> to me, Call <07121> his name <08034>

Mahershalalhashbaz <04122>.

4 For before <02962> the child <05288> shall have knowledge

<03045> to cry <07121>, My father <01>, and my mother <0517>,

the riches <02428> of Damascus <01834> and the spoil <07998> of

Samaria <08111> shall be taken <05375> away before <06440> the

king <04428> of Assyria <0804>.

5 The LORD <03068> spake <01696> also unto me again <03254>,

saying <0559>,

6 Forasmuch as this <02088> people <05971> refuseth <03988> the

waters <04325> of Shiloah <07975> that go <01980> softly <0328>,

and rejoice <04885> in Rezin <07526> and Remaliah's <07425> son

<01121>;

7 Now therefore <03651>, behold <02009>, the Lord <0136>

bringeth <05927> up upon them the waters <04325> of the river

<05104>, strong <06099> and many <07227>, [even <0853>] the king

<04428> of Assyria <0804>, and all <03605> his glory <03519>:

and he shall come <05927> up over <05921> all <03605> his

channels <0650>, and go <01980> over <05921> all <03605> his

banks <01415>:

8 And he shall pass <02498> through Judah <03063>; he shall

overflow <07857> and go <05674> over <05674>, he shall reach

<05060> [even] to the neck <06677>; and the stretching <04298>

out of his wings <03671> shall fill <04393> the breadth <07341>

of thy land <0776>, O Immanuel <06005>.

9. Associate <07489> yourselves, O ye people <05971>, and ye

shall be broken <02844> in pieces; and give ear <0238>, all

<03605> ye of far <04801> countries <0776>: gird <0247>

yourselves, and ye shall be broken <02844> in pieces; gird

<0247> yourselves, and ye shall be broken <02844> in pieces.

10 Take counsel <06098> together, and it shall come to nought

<06565>; speak <01696> the word <01697>, and it shall not stand

<06965>: for God <0410> [is] with us.

11 For the LORD <03068> spake <0559> thus <03541> to me with a

strong <02393> hand <03027>, and instructed <03256> me that I

should not walk <03212> in the way <01870> of this <02088>

people <05971>, saying <0559>,

12 Say <0559> ye not, A confederacy <07195>, to all <03605>

[them to] whom <0834> this <02088> people <05971> shall say

<0559>, A confederacy <07195>; neither <03808> fear <03372> ye

their fear <04172>, nor <03808> be afraid <06206>.

13 Sanctify <06942> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> himself;

and [let] him [be] your fear <04172>, and [let] him [be] your

dread <06206>.

14 And he shall be for a sanctuary <04720>; but for a stone

<068> of stumbling <05063> and for a rock <06697> of offence

<04383> to both <08147> the houses <01004> of Israel <03478>,

for a gin <06341> and for a snare <04170> to the inhabitants

<03427> of Jerusalem <03389>.

15 And many <07227> among them shall stumble <03782>, and fall

<05307>, and be broken <07665>, and be snared <03369>, and be

taken <03920>.

16. Bind <06887> up the testimony <08584>, seal <02856> the law

<08451> among my disciples <03928>.

17 And I will wait <02442> upon the LORD <03068>, that hideth

<05641> his face <06440> from the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>,

and I will look <06960> for him.

18 Behold <02009>, I and the children <03206> whom <0834> the

LORD <03068> hath given <05414> me [are] for signs <0226> and

for wonders <04159> in Israel <03478> from the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635>, which dwelleth <07931> in mount <02022> Zion

<06726>.

19 And when <03588> they shall say <0559> unto you, Seek

<01875> unto them that have familiar spirits <0178>, and unto

wizards <03049> that peep <06850>, and that mutter <01897>:

should not a people <05971> seek <01875> unto their God <0430>?

for the living <02416> to the dead <04191>?

20 To the law <08451> and to the testimony <08584>: if <0518>

they speak <0559> not according to this <02088> word <01697>,

[it is] because <0834> [there is] no <0369> light <07837> in

them.

21 And they shall pass <05674> through it, hardly <07185>

bestead and hungry <07456>: and it shall come <01961> to pass,

that when <03588> they shall be hungry <07456>, they shall fret

<07107> themselves, and curse <07043> their king <04428> and

their God <0430>, and look <06437> upward <04605>.

22 And they shall look <05027> unto the earth <0776>; and

behold <02009> trouble <06869> and darkness <02825>, dimness

<04588> of anguish <06695>; and [they shall be] driven <05080>

to darkness <0653>.

Isaiah 9

1. Nevertheless <03588> the dimness <04155> [shall] not [be]

such as [was] in her vexation <04164>, when <06256> at the first

<07223> he lightly <07043> afflicted <07043> the land <0776> of

Zebulun <02074> and the land <0776> of Naphtali <05321>, and

afterward <0314> did more grievously <03513> afflict <03513>

[her by] the way <01870> of the sea <03220>, beyond <05676>

Jordan <03383>, in Galilee <01551> of the nations <01471>.

2 The people <05971> that walked <01980> in darkness <02822>

have seen <07200> a great <01419> light <0216>: they that dwell

<03427> in the land <0776> of the shadow <06757> of death

<06757>, upon them hath the light <0216> shined <05050>.

3 Thou hast multiplied <07235> the nation <01471>, [and] not

increased <01431> the joy <08057>: they joy <08055> before

<06440> thee according to the joy <08055> in harvest <07105>,

[and] as [men] rejoice <01523> when they divide <02505> the

spoil <07998>.

4 For thou hast broken <02865> the yoke <05923> of his burden

<05448>, and the staff <04294> of his shoulder <07926>, the rod

<07626> of his oppressor <05065>, as in the day <03117> of

Midian <04080>.

5 For every <03605> battle <05430> of the warrior <05431> [is]

with confused <07494> noise, and garments <08071> rolled <01556>

in blood <01818>; but [this] shall be with burning <08316> [and]

fuel <03980> of fire <0784>.

6 For unto us a child <03206> is born <03205>, unto us a son

<01121> is given <05414>: and the government <04951> shall be

upon his shoulder <07926>: and his name <08034> shall be called

<07121> Wonderful <06382>, Counsellor <03289>, The mighty

<01368> God <0410>, The everlasting <05703> Father <01>, The

Prince <08269> of Peace <07965>.

7 Of the increase <04768> of [his] government <04951> and peace

<07965> [there shall be] no <0369> end <07093>, upon the throne

<03678> of David <01732>, and upon his kingdom <04467>, to order

<03559> it, and to establish <05582> it with judgment <04941>

and with justice <06666> from henceforth <06258> even for ever

<05769>. The zeal <07068> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>

will perform <06213> this <02063>.

8. The Lord <03068> sent <07971> a word <01697> into Jacob

<03290>, and it hath lighted <05307> upon Israel <03478>.

9 And all <03605> the people <05971> shall know <03045>, [even]

Ephraim <0669> and the inhabitant <03427> of Samaria <08111>,

that say <0559> in the pride <01346> and stoutness <01433> of

heart <03824>,

10 The bricks <03843> are fallen <05307> down, but we will

build <01129> with hewn <01496> stones <01496>: the sycomores

<08256> are cut <01438> down <01438>, but we will change <02498>

[them into] cedars <0730>.

11 Therefore the LORD <03068> shall set <07682> up the

adversaries <06862> of Rezin <07526> against <05921> him, and

join <05526> his enemies <0341> together;

12 The Syrians <0758> before <06924>, and the Philistines

<06430> behind <0268>; and they shall devour <0398> Israel

<03478> with open <06605> mouth <06310>. For all <03605> this

<02063> his anger <0639> is not turned <07725> away, but his

hand <03027> [is] stretched <05186> out still <05750>.

13 For the people <05971> turneth <07725> not unto him that

smiteth <05221> them, neither <03808> do they seek <01875> the

LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

14 Therefore the LORD <03068> will cut <03772> off from Israel

<03478> head <07218> and tail <02180>, branch <03712> and rush

<0100>, in one <0259> day <03117>.

15 The ancient <02204> and honourable, he [is] the head <07218>;

and the prophet <05030> that teacheth <03384> lies <08267>, he

[is] the tail <02180>.

16 For the leaders <0833> of this <02088> people <05971> cause

[them] to err <08582>; and [they that are] led <0833> of them

[are] destroyed <01104>.

17 Therefore the Lord <0136> shall have no <03808> joy <08055>

in their young <0970> men, neither <03808> shall have mercy

<07355> on their fatherless <03490> and widows <0490>: for every

<03605> one [is] an hypocrite <02611> and an evildoer <07489>,

and every <03605> mouth <06310> speaketh <01696> folly <05039>.

For all <03605> this <02063> his anger <0639> is not turned

<07725> away, but his hand <03027> [is] stretched <05186> out

still <05750>.

18 For wickedness <07564> burneth <01197> as the fire <0784>:

it shall devour <0398> the briers <08068> and thorns <07898>,

and shall kindle <03341> in the thickets <05442> of the forest

<03293>, and they shall mount <055> up [like] the lifting

<01348> up of smoke <06227>.

19 Through the wrath <05678> of the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635> is the land <0776> darkened <06272>, and the people

<05971> shall be as the fuel <03980> of the fire <0784>: no

<03808> man <0376> shall spare <02550> his brother <0251>.

20 And he shall snatch <01504> on <05921> the right <03225>

hand <03225>, and be hungry <07456>; and he shall eat <0398> on

<05921> the left <08040> hand <08040>, and they shall not be

satisfied <07646>: they shall eat <0398> every man <0376> the

flesh <01320> of his own arm <02220>:

21 Manasseh <04519>, Ephraim <0669>; and Ephraim <0669>,

Manasseh <04519>: [and] they together <03162> [shall be] against

<05921> Judah <03063>. For all <03605> this <02063> his anger

<0639> is not turned <07725> away, but his hand <03027> [is]

stretched <05186> out still <05750>.

Isaiah 10

1. Woe <01945> unto them that decree <02710> unrighteous <0205>

decrees <02711>, and that write <03789> grievousness <05999>

[which] they have prescribed <03789>;

2 To turn <05186> aside <05186> the needy <01800> from judgment

<01779>, and to take <01497> away <01497> the right <04941> from

the poor <06041> of my people <05971>, that widows <0490> may be

their prey <07998>, and [that] they may rob <0962> the

fatherless <03490>!

3 And what <04100> will ye do <06213> in the day <03117> of

visitation <06486>, and in the desolation <07722> [which] shall

come <0935> from far <04801>? to whom <04310> will ye flee

<05127> for help <05833>? and where <0575> will ye leave <05800>

your glory <03519>?

4 Without <01115> me they shall bow <03766> down <03766> under

<08478> the prisoners <0616>, and they shall fall <05307> under

<08478> the slain <02026>. For all <03605> this <02063> his

anger <0639> is not turned <07725> away, but his hand <03027>

[is] stretched <05186> out still <05750>.

5. O Assyrian <0804>, the rod <07626> of mine anger <0639>, and

the staff <04294> in their hand <03027> is mine indignation

<02195>.

6 I will send <07971> him against an hypocritical <02611>

nation <01471>, and against <05921> the people <05971> of my

wrath <05678> will I give him a charge <06680>, to take <07997>

the spoil <07998>, and to take <0962> the prey <0957>, and to

tread <04823> them down like the mire <02563> of the streets

<02351>.

7 Howbeit he meaneth <01819> not so <03651>, neither <03808>

doth his heart <03824> think <02803> so <03651>; but [it is] in

his heart <03824> to destroy <08045> and cut <03772> off nations

<01471> not a few <04592>.

8 For he saith <0559>, [Are] not my princes <08269> altogether

<03162> kings <04428>?

9 [Is] not Calno <03641> as Carchemish <03751>? [is] not Hamath

<02574> as Arpad <0774>? [is] not Samaria <08111> as Damascus

<01834>?

10 As my hand <03027> hath found <04672> the kingdoms <04467>

of the idols <0457>, and whose graven <06456> images did excel

them of Jerusalem <03389> and of Samaria <08111>;

11 Shall I not, as I have done <06466> unto Samaria <08111> and

her idols <0457>, so <03651> do <06213> to Jerusalem <03389> and

her idols <06091>?

12 Wherefore it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] when <03588>

the Lord <0136> hath performed <01214> his whole work <04639>

upon mount <02022> Zion <06726> and on Jerusalem <03389>, I will

punish <06485> the fruit <06529> of the stout <01433> heart

<03824> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, and the glory

<08597> of his high <07312> looks <05869>.

13 For he saith <0559>, By the strength <03581> of my hand

<03027> I have done <06466> [it], and by my wisdom <02451>; for

I am prudent <0995>: and I have removed <05493> the bounds

<01367> of the people <05971>, and have robbed <08154> their

treasures <06259>, and I have put <03381> down <03381> the

inhabitants <03427> like a valiant <03524> [man]:

14 And my hand <03027> hath found <04672> as a nest <07064> the

riches <02428> of the people <05971>: and as one gathereth

<0622> eggs <01000> [that are] left <05800>, have I gathered

<0622> all <03605> the earth <0776>; and there was none <03808>

that moved <05074> the wing <03671>, or opened <06473> the mouth

<06310>, or peeped <06850>.

15 Shall the axe <01631> boast <06286> itself against <05921>

him that heweth <02672> therewith? [or] shall the saw <04883>

magnify <01431> itself against <05921> him that shaketh <05130>

it? as if the rod <07626> should shake <05130> [itself] against

them that lift <07311> it up, [or] as if the staff <04294>

should lift <07311> up [itself, as if it were] no <03808> wood

<06086>.

16 Therefore <03651> shall the Lord <0113>, the Lord <0136> of

hosts <06635>, send <07971> among his fat <04924> ones leanness

<07332>; and under <08478> his glory <03519> he shall kindle

<03344> a burning <03350> like the burning <03345> of a fire

<0784>.

17 And the light <0216> of Israel <03478> shall be for a fire

<0784>, and his Holy <06918> One for a flame <03852>: and it

shall burn <01197> and devour <0398> his thorns <07898> and his

briers <08068> in one <0259> day <03117>;

18 And shall consume <03615> the glory <03519> of his forest

<03293>, and of his fruitful <03759> field, both soul <05315>

and body <01320>: and they shall be as when a standardbearer

<05264> fainteth <04549>.

19 And the rest <07605> of the trees <06086> of his forest

<03293> shall be few <04557>, that a child <05288> may write

<03789> them.

20. And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] the remnant <07605> of Israel <03478>, and such as are

escaped <06413> of the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, shall no

<03808> more <05750> again <03254> stay <04937> upon him that

smote <05221> them; but shall stay <08172> upon the LORD <03068>,

the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>, in truth <0571>.

21 The remnant <07605> shall return <07725>, [even] the remnant

<07605> of Jacob <03290>, unto the mighty <01368> God <0410>.

22 For though <0518> thy people <05971> Israel <03478> be as

the sand <02344> of the sea <03220>, [yet] a remnant <07605> of

them shall return <07725>: the consumption <03631> decreed

<02782> shall overflow <07857> with righteousness <06666>.

23 For the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635> shall make

<06213> a consumption <03617>, even determined <02782>, in the

midst <07130> of all <03605> the land <0776>.

24. Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>, O my people <05971> that dwellest

<03427> in Zion <06726>, be not afraid <03372> of the Assyrian

<0804>: he shall smite <05221> thee with a rod <07626>, and

shall lift <05375> up his staff <04294> against <05921> thee,

after the manner <01870> of Egypt <04714>.

25 For yet <05750> a very <04213> little <04592> while, and the

indignation <02195> shall cease <03615>, and mine anger <0639>

in their destruction <08399>.

26 And the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall stir <05782> up

a scourge <07752> for him according to the slaughter <04347> of

Midian <04080> at the rock <06697> of Oreb <06157>: and [as] his

rod <04294> [was] upon the sea <03220>, so shall he lift <05375>

it up after the manner <01870> of Egypt <04714>.

27 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] his burden <05448> shall be taken <05493> away <05493>

from off <05921> thy shoulder <07926>, and his yoke <05923> from

off <05921> thy neck <06677>, and the yoke <05923> shall be

destroyed <02254> because <06440> of the anointing <08081>.

28 He is come <0935> to Aiath <05857>, he is passed <05674> to

Migron <04051>; at Michmash <04363> he hath laid <06485> up his

carriages <03627>:

29 They are gone <05674> over <05674> the passage <04569>: they

have taken <03885> up their lodging <04411> at Geba <01387>;

Ramah <07414> is afraid <02729>; Gibeah <01390> of Saul <07586>

is fled <05127>.

30 Lift <06670> up thy voice <06963>, O daughter <01323> of

Gallim <01554>: cause it to be heard <07181> unto Laish <03919>,

O poor <06041> Anathoth <06068>.

31 Madmenah <04088> is removed <05074>; the inhabitants <03427>

of Gebim <01374> gather <05756> themselves to flee.

32 As yet <05750> shall he remain <05975> at Nob <05011> that

day <03117>: he shall shake <05130> his hand <03027> [against]

the mount <02022> of the daughter <01004> of Zion <06726>, the

hill <01389> of Jerusalem <03389>.

33 Behold <02009>, the Lord <0113>, the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635>, shall lop <05586> the bough <06288> with terror <04637>:

and the high <07312> ones of stature <06967> [shall be] hewn

<01438> down <01438>, and the haughty <01364> shall be humbled

<08213>.

34 And he shall cut <05362> down the thickets <05442> of the

forest <03293> with iron <01270>, and Lebanon <03844> shall fall

<05307> by a mighty <0117> one.

Isaiah 11

1. And there shall come <03318> forth <03318> a rod <02415> out

of the stem <01503> of Jesse <03448>, and a Branch <05342> shall

grow <06509> out of his roots <08328>:

2 And the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> shall rest <05117>

upon him, the spirit <07307> of wisdom <02451> and understanding

<0998>, the spirit <07307> of counsel <06098> and might <01369>,

the spirit <07307> of knowledge <01847> and of the fear <03374>

of the LORD <03068>;

3 And shall make him of quick understanding <07306> in the fear

<03374> of the LORD <03068>: and he shall not judge <08199>

after the sight <04758> of his eyes <05869>, neither <03808>

reprove <03198> after <0310> the hearing <04926> of his ears

<0241>:

4 But with righteousness <06664> shall he judge <08199> the

poor <01800>, and reprove <03198> with equity <04334> for the

meek <06035> of the earth <0776>: and he shall smite <05221> the

earth <0776> with the rod <07626> of his mouth <06310>, and with

the breath <07307> of his lips <08193> shall he slay <04191> the

wicked <07563>.

5 And righteousness <06664> shall be the girdle <0232> of his

loins <04975>, and faithfulness <0530> the girdle <0232> of his

reins <02504>.

6 The wolf <02061> also shall dwell <01481> with the lamb

<03532>, and the leopard <05246> shall lie <07257> down <07257>

with the kid <01423>; and the calf <05695> and the young <03715>

lion <03715> and the fatling <04806> together <03162>; and a

little <06995> child <05288> shall lead <05090> them.

7 And the cow <06510> and the bear <01677> shall feed <07462>;

their young <03206> ones shall lie <07257> down <07257> together

<03162>: and the lion <0738> shall eat <0398> straw <08401> like

the ox <01241>.

8 And the sucking <03243> child shall play <08173> on <05921>

the hole <02356> of the asp <06620>, and the weaned <01580>

child shall put <01911> his hand <03027> on <05921> the

cockatrice <06848>' den <03975>.

9 They shall not hurt <07489> nor <03808> destroy <07843> in

all <03605> my holy <06944> mountain <02022>: for the earth

<0776> shall be full <04390> of the knowledge <01844> of the

LORD <03068>, as the waters <04325> cover <03680> the sea

<03220>.

10. And in that day <03117> there shall be a root <08328> of

Jesse <03448>, which <0834> shall stand <05975> for an ensign

<05251> of the people <05971>; to it shall the Gentiles <01471>

seek <01875>: and his rest <04496> shall be glorious <03519>.

11 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] the Lord <0136> shall set his hand <03027> again <03254>

the second <08145> time <06256> to recover <07069> the remnant

<07605> of his people <05971>, which <0834> shall be left

<07604>, from Assyria <0804>, and from Egypt <04714>, and from

Pathros <06624>, and from Cush <03568>, and from Elam <05867>,

and from Shinar <08152>, and from Hamath <02574>, and from the

islands <0339> of the sea <03220>.

12 And he shall set <05375> up an ensign <05251> for the

nations <01471>, and shall assemble <0622> the outcasts <01760>

of Israel <03478>, and gather <06908> together the dispersed

<05310> of Judah <03063> from the four <0702> corners <03671> of

the earth <0776>.

13 The envy <07068> also of Ephraim <0669> shall depart <05493>,

and the adversaries <06887> of Judah <03063> shall be cut

<03772> off: Ephraim <0669> shall not envy <07065> Judah <03063>,

and Judah <03063> shall not vex <06887> Ephraim <0669>.

14 But they shall fly <05774> upon the shoulders <03802> of the

Philistines <06430> toward the west <03220>; they shall spoil

<0962> them of the east <06924> together <03162>: they shall lay

<07971> their hand <03027> upon Edom <0123> and Moab <04124>;

and the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> shall obey <04928>

them.

15 And the LORD <03068> shall utterly destroy <02763> the

tongue <03956> of the Egyptian <04714> sea <03220>; and with his

mighty <05868> wind <07307> shall he shake <05130> his hand

<03027> over <05921> the river <05104>, and shall smite <05221>

it in the seven <07651> streams <05158>, and make [men] go

<01869> over <01869> dryshod <05275>.

16 And there shall be an highway <04546> for the remnant

<07605> of his people <05971>, which <0834> shall be left

<07604>, from Assyria <0804>; like as it was to Israel <03478>

in the day <03117> that he came <05927> up out of the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>.

Isaiah 12

1. And in that day <03117> thou shalt say <0559>, O LORD

<03068>, I will praise <03034> thee: though <03588> thou wast

angry <0599> with me, thine anger <0639> is turned <07725> away,

and thou comfortedst <05162> me.

2 Behold <02009>, God <0410> [is] my salvation <03444>; I will

trust <0982>, and not be afraid <06342>: for the LORD <03050>

JEHOVAH <03068> [is] my strength <05797> and [my] song <02176>;

he also is become <01961> my salvation <03444>.

3 Therefore with joy <08342> shall ye draw <07579> water

<04325> out of the wells <04599> of salvation <03444>.

4. And in that day <03117> shall ye say <0559>, Praise <03034>

the LORD <03068>, call <07121> upon his name <08034>, declare

<03045> his doings <05949> among the people <05971>, make

mention <02142> that his name <08034> is exalted <07682>.

5 Sing <02167> unto the LORD <03068>; for he hath done <06466>

excellent <01348> things: this <02063> [is] known <03045> in all

<03605> the earth <0776>.

6 Cry <06670> out and shout <07442>, thou inhabitant <03427> of

Zion <06726>: for great <01419> [is] the Holy <06918> One of

Israel <03478> in the midst <07130> of thee.

Isaiah 13

1. The burden <04853> of Babylon <0894>, which <0834> Isaiah

<03470> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531> did see <02372>.

2 Lift <05375> ye up a banner <05251> upon the high <08192>

mountain <02022>, exalt <07311> the voice <06963> unto them,

shake <05130> the hand <03027>, that they may go <0935> into the

gates <06607> of the nobles <05081>.

3 I have commanded <06680> my sanctified <06942> ones, I have

also <01571> called <07121> my mighty <01368> ones for mine

anger <0639>, [even] them that rejoice <05947> in my highness

<01346>.

4 The noise <06963> of a multitude <01995> in the mountains

<02022>, like <01823> as of a great <07227> people <05971>; a

tumultuous <07588> noise <06963> of the kingdoms <04467> of

nations <01471> gathered <0622> together: the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> mustereth <06485> the host <06635> of the battle

<04421>.

5 They come <0935> from a far <04801> country <0776>, from the

end <07093> of heaven <08064>, [even] the LORD <03068>, and the

weapons <03627> of his indignation <02195>, to destroy <02254>

the whole <03605> land <0776>.

6. Howl <03213> ye; for the day <03117> of the LORD <03068>

[is] at <07138> hand <07138>; it shall come <0935> as a

destruction <07701> from the Almighty <07706>.

7 Therefore shall all <03605> hands <03027> be faint <07503>,

and every <03605> man's <0582> heart <03824> shall melt <04549>:

8 And they shall be afraid <0926>: pangs <06735> and sorrows

<02256> shall take <0270> hold <0270> of them; they shall be in

pain <02342> as a woman that travaileth <03205>: they shall be

amazed <08539> one <0376> at <0413> another <07453>; their faces

<06440> [shall be as] flames <03851>.

9 Behold <02009>, the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> cometh

<0935>, cruel <0394> both with wrath <05678> and fierce <02740>

anger <0639>, to lay the land <0776> desolate <08047>: and he

shall destroy <08045> the sinners <02400> thereof out of it.

10 For the stars <03556> of heaven <08064> and the

constellations <03685> thereof shall not give their light <0216>:

the sun <08121> shall be darkened <02821> in his going <03318>

forth <03318>, and the moon <03394> shall not cause her light

<0216> to shine <05050>.

11 And I will punish <06485> the world <08398> for [their] evil

<07451>, and the wicked <07563> for their iniquity <05771>; and

I will cause the arrogancy <01347> of the proud <02086> to cease

<07673>, and will lay low <08213> the haughtiness <01346> of the

terrible <06184>.

12 I will make a man <0582> more precious <03365> than fine

gold <06337>; even a man <0120> than the golden <03800> wedge of

Ophir <0211>.

13 Therefore I will shake <07264> the heavens <08064>, and the

earth <0776> shall remove <07493> out of her place <04725>, in

the wrath <05678> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and in

the day <03117> of his fierce <02740> anger <0639>.

14 And it shall be as the chased <05080> roe <06643>, and as a

sheep <06629> that no <0369> man taketh <06908> up: they shall

every man <0376> turn <06437> to his own people <05971>, and

flee <05127> every <0376> one into <0413> his own land <0776>.

15 Every <03605> one that is found <04672> shall be thrust

<01856> through <01856>; and every <03605> one that is joined

<05595> [unto them] shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>.

16 Their children <05768> also shall be dashed <07376> to

pieces before their eyes <05869>; their houses <01004> shall be

spoiled <08155>, and their wives <0802> ravished <07693>.

17 Behold <02005>, I will stir <05782> up the Medes <04074>

against <05921> them, which <0834> shall not regard <02803>

silver <03701>; and [as for] gold <02091>, they shall not

delight <02654> in it.

18 [Their] bows <07198> also shall dash <07376> the young

<05288> men to pieces; and they shall have no <03808> pity

<07355> on the fruit <06529> of the womb <0990>; their eye

<05869> shall not spare <02347> children <01121>.

19. And Babylon <0894>, the glory <06643> of kingdoms <04467>,

the beauty <08597> of the Chaldees <03778>' excellency <01347>,

shall be as when God <0430> overthrew <04114> Sodom <05467> and

Gomorrah <06017>.

20 It shall never be inhabited <03427>, neither <03808> shall

it be dwelt <07931> in from generation <01755> to generation

<01755>: neither <03808> shall the Arabian <06153> pitch <0167>

tent <0167> there <08033>; neither <03808> shall the shepherds

<07462> make their fold <07257> there <08033>.

21 But wild <06728> beasts <06728> of the desert <06728> shall

lie <07257> there <08033>; and their houses <01004> shall be

full <04390> of doleful <0255> creatures <0255>; and owls shall

dwell <07931> there <08033>, and satyrs <08163> shall dance

<07540> there <08033>.

22 And the wild <0338> beasts <0338> of the islands <0338>

shall cry <06030> in their desolate <0490> houses <0490>, and

dragons <08577> in [their] pleasant <06027> palaces <01964>: and

her time <06256> [is] near <07138> to come <0935>, and her days

<03117> shall not be prolonged <04900>.

Isaiah 14

1. For the LORD <03068> will have mercy <07355> on Jacob

<03290>, and will yet <05750> choose <0977> Israel <03478>, and

set <03240> them in their own land <0127>: and the strangers

<01616> shall be joined <03867> with them, and they shall cleave

<05596> to the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>.

2 And the people <05971> shall take <03947> them, and bring

<0935> them to their place <04725>: and the house <01004> of

Israel <03478> shall possess <05157> them in the land <0127> of

the LORD <03068> for servants <05650> and handmaids <08198>: and

they shall take them captives <07617>, whose captives <07617>

they were; and they shall rule <07287> over their oppressors

<05065>.

3 And it shall come <01961> to pass in the day <03117> that the

LORD <03068> shall give thee rest <05117> from thy sorrow

<06090>, and from thy fear <07267>, and from the hard <07186>

bondage <05656> wherein <0834> thou wast made to serve <05647>,

4. That thou shalt take <05375> up this <02088> proverb <04912>

against <05921> the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and say

<0559>, How <0349> hath the oppressor <05065> ceased <07673>!

the golden <04062> city <04062> ceased <07673>!

5 The LORD <03068> hath broken <07665> the staff <04294> of the

wicked <07563>, [and] the sceptre <07626> of the rulers <04910>.

6 He who smote <05221> the people <05971> in wrath <05678> with

a continual stroke <04347>, he that ruled <07287> the nations

<01471> in anger <0639>, is persecuted <04783>, [and] none

<01097> hindereth <02820>.

7 The whole <03605> earth <0776> is at rest <05117>, [and] is

quiet <08252>: they break <06476> forth into singing <07440>.

8 Yea <01571>, the fir <01265> trees rejoice <08055> at thee,

[and] the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <03844>, [saying], Since

<0227> thou art laid <07901> down <07901>, no <03808> feller

<03772> is come <05927> up against <05921> us.

9 Hell <07585> from beneath <08478> is moved <07264> for thee

to meet <07125> [thee] at thy coming <0935>: it stirreth <05782>

up the dead <07496> for thee, [even] all <03605> the chief

<06260> ones of the earth <0776>; it hath raised <06965> up from

their thrones <03678> all <03605> the kings <04428> of the

nations <01471>.

10 All <03605> they shall speak <06030> and say <0559> unto

thee, Art thou also <01571> become <02470> weak <02470> as we?

art thou become <04911> like <04911> unto us?

11 Thy pomp <01347> is brought <03381> down <03381> to the

grave <07585>, [and] the noise <01998> of thy viols <05035>: the

worm <07415> is spread <03331> under <08478> thee, and the worms

<08438> cover <04374> thee.

12 How <0349> art thou fallen <05307> from heaven <08064>, O

Lucifer <01966>, son <01121> of the morning <07837>! [how

<0349>] art thou cut <01438> down <01438> to the ground <0776>,

which didst weaken <02522> the nations <01471>!

13 For thou hast said <0559> in thine heart <03824>, I will

ascend <05927> into heaven <08064>, I will exalt <07311> my

throne <03678> above <04605> the stars <03556> of God <0410>: I

will sit <03427> also upon the mount <02022> of the congregation

<04150>, in the sides <03411> of the north <06828>:

14 I will ascend <05927> above <05921> the heights <01116> of

the clouds <05645>; I will be like <01819> the most <05945> High

<05945>.

15 Yet <0389> thou shalt be brought <03381> down <03381> to

hell <07585>, to the sides <03411> of the pit <0953>.

16 They that see <07200> thee shall narrowly look <07688> upon

thee, [and] consider <0995> thee, [saying <0559>, Is] this

<02088> the man <0376> that made the earth <0776> to tremble

<07264>, that did shake <07493> kingdoms <04467>;

17 [That] made <07760> the world <08398> as a wilderness

<04057>, and destroyed <02040> the cities <05892> thereof;

[that] opened <06605> not the house <01004> of his prisoners

<0615>?

18 All <03605> the kings <04428> of the nations <01471>, [even]

all <03605> of them, lie <07901> in glory <03519>, every <0376>

one <0376> in his own house <01004>.

19 But thou art cast <07993> out of thy grave <06913> like an

abominable <08581> branch <05342>, [and as] the raiment <03830>

of those that are slain <02026>, thrust <02944> through <02944>

with a sword <02719>, that go <03381> down <03381> to the stones

<068> of the pit <0953>; as a carcase <06297> trodden <0947>

under feet.

20 Thou shalt not be joined <03161> with them in burial <06900>,

because <03588> thou hast destroyed <07843> thy land <0776>,

[and] slain <02026> thy people <05971>: the seed <02233> of

evildoers <07489> shall never be renowned <07121>.

21 Prepare <03559> slaughter <04293> for his children <01121>

for the iniquity <05771> of their fathers <01>; that they do not

rise <06965>, nor possess <03423> the land <0776>, nor fill

<04390> the face <06440> of the world <08398> with cities

<05892>.

22 For I will rise <06965> up against <05921> them, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and cut <03772> off

from Babylon <0894> the name <08034>, and remnant <07605>, and

son <05209>, and nephew <05220>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

23 I will also make <07760> it a possession <04180> for the

bittern <07090>, and pools <098> of water <04325>: and I will

sweep <02894> it with the besom <04292> of destruction <08045>,

saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

24. The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sworn <07650>,

saying <0559>, Surely as I have thought <01819>, so shall it

come <01961> to pass; and as I have purposed <03289>, [so

<03651>] shall it stand <06965>:

25 That I will break <07665> the Assyrian <0804> in my land

<0776>, and upon my mountains <02022> tread <0947> him under

foot <0947>: then shall his yoke <05923> depart <05493> from off

<05921> them, and his burden <05448> depart <05493> from off

<05921> their shoulders <07926>.

26 This <02063> [is] the purpose <06098> that is purposed

<03289> upon the whole <03605> earth <0776>: and this <02063>

[is] the hand <03027> that is stretched <05186> out upon all

<03605> the nations <01471>.

27 For the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath purposed <03289>,

and who <04310> shall disannul <06565> [it]? and his hand

<03027> [is] stretched <05186> out, and who <04310> shall turn

<07725> it back <07725>?

28 In the year <08141> that king <04428> Ahaz <0271> died

<04194> was this <02088> burden <04853>.

29 Rejoice <08055> not thou, whole <03605> Palestina <06429>,

because <03588> the rod <07626> of him that smote <05221> thee

is broken <07665>: for out of the serpent's <05175> root <08328>

shall come <03318> forth <03318> a cockatrice <06848>, and his

fruit <06529> [shall be] a fiery <08314> flying <05774> serpent

<08314>.

30 And the firstborn <01060> of the poor <01800> shall feed

<07462>, and the needy <034> shall lie <07257> down <07257> in

safety <0983>: and I will kill <04191> thy root <08328> with

famine <07458>, and he shall slay <02026> thy remnant <07611>.

31 Howl <03213>, O gate <08179>; cry <02199>, O city <05892>;

thou, whole <03605> Palestina <06429>, [art] dissolved <04127>:

for there shall come <0935> from the north <06828> a smoke

<06227>, and none <0369> [shall be] alone <0909> in his

appointed <04151> times <04151>.

32 What <04100> shall [one] then answer <06030> the messengers

<04397> of the nation <01471>? That the LORD <03068> hath

founded <03245> Zion <06726>, and the poor <06041> of his people

<05971> shall trust <02620> in it.

Isaiah 15

1. The burden <04853> of Moab <04124>. Because <03588> in the

night <03915> Ar <06144> of Moab <04124> is laid waste <07703>,

[and] brought <01820> to silence <01820>; because <03588> in the

night <03915> Kir <07024> of Moab <04124> is laid waste <07703>,

[and] brought <01820> to silence;

2 He is gone <05927> up to Bajith <01006>, and to Dibon <01769>,

the high <01116> places, to weep <01065>: Moab <04124> shall

howl <03213> over <05921> Nebo <05015>, and over <05921> Medeba

<04311>: on all <03605> their heads <07218> [shall be] baldness

<07144>, [and] every <03605> beard <02206> cut <01438> off.

3 In their streets <02351> they shall gird <02296> themselves

with sackcloth <08242>: on <05921> the tops <01406> of their

houses, and in their streets <07339>, every <03605> one shall

howl <03213>, weeping <01065> abundantly <03381>.

4 And Heshbon <02809> shall cry <02199>, and Elealeh <0500>:

their voice <06963> shall be heard <08085> [even] unto Jahaz

<03096>: therefore the armed <02502> soldiers <02502> of Moab

<04124> shall cry <07321> out; his life <05315> shall be

grievous <03415> unto him.

5 My heart <03820> shall cry <02199> out for Moab <04124>; his

fugitives <01280> [shall flee] unto Zoar <06820>, an heifer

<05697> of three <07992> years old <07992>: for by the mounting

<04608> up of Luhith <03872> with weeping <01065> shall they go

<05927> it up; for in the way <01870> of Horonaim <02773> they

shall raise <05782> up a cry <02201> of destruction <07667>.

6. For the waters <04325> of Nimrim <05249> shall be desolate

<04923>: for the hay <02682> is withered <03001> away, the grass

<01877> faileth <03615>, there is no <03808> green <03418> thing.

7 Therefore the abundance <03502> they have gotten <06213>, and

that which they have laid <06486> up, shall they carry <05375>

away to the brook <05158> of the willows <06155>.

8 For the cry <02201> is gone <05362> round <05362> about the

borders <01366> of Moab <04124>; the howling <03213> thereof

unto Eglaim <097>, and the howling <03213> thereof unto Beerelim

<0879>.

9 For the waters <04325> of Dimon <01775> shall be full <04390>

of blood <01818>: for I will bring <07896> more <03254> upon

Dimon <01775>, lions <0738> upon him that escapeth <06413> of

Moab <04124>, and upon the remnant <07611> of the land <0127>.

Isaiah 16

1. Send <07971> ye the lamb <03733> to the ruler <04910> of the

land <0776> from Sela <05554> to the wilderness <04057>, unto

the mount <02022> of the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>.

2 For it shall be, [that], as a wandering <05074> bird <05775>

cast <07971> out of the nest <07064>, [so] the daughters <01121>

of Moab <04124> shall be at the fords <04569> of Arnon <0769>.

3 Take <0935> counsel <06098>, execute <06213> judgment <06415>;

make <07896> thy shadow <06738> as the night <03915> in the

midst <08432> of the noonday <06672>; hide <05641> the outcasts

<05080>; bewray <01540> not him that wandereth <05074>.

4 Let mine outcasts <05080> dwell <01481> with thee, Moab

<04124>; be thou a covert <05643> to them from the face <06440>

of the spoiler <07703>: for the extortioner <04160> is at an end

<0657>, the spoiler <07701> ceaseth <03615>, the oppressors

<07429> are consumed <08552> out of the land <0776>.

5 And in mercy <02617> shall the throne <03678> be established

<03559>: and he shall sit <03427> upon it in truth <0571> in the

tabernacle <0168> of David <01732>, judging <08199>, and seeking

<01875> judgment <04941>, and hasting <04106> righteousness

<06664>.

6. We have heard <08085> of the pride <01347> of Moab <04124>;

[he is] very <03966> proud <01341>: [even] of his haughtiness

<01346>, and his pride <01347>, and his wrath <05678>: [but] his

lies <0907> [shall] not [be] so <03651>.

7 Therefore <03651> shall Moab <04124> howl <03213> for Moab

<04124>, every <03605> one shall howl <03213>: for the

foundations <0808> of Kirhareseth <07025> shall ye mourn <01897>;

surely <0389> [they are] stricken <05218>.

8 For the fields <07709> of Heshbon <02809> languish <0535>,

[and] the vine <01612> of Sibmah <07643>: the lords <01167> of

the heathen <01471> have broken <01986> down the principal

<08291> plants <08291> thereof, they are come <05060> [even]

unto Jazer <03270>, they wandered <08582> [through] the

wilderness <04057>: her branches <07976> are stretched <05203>

out, they are gone <05674> over <05674> the sea <03220>.

9 Therefore I will bewail <01058> with the weeping <01065> of

Jazer <03270> the vine <01612> of Sibmah <07643>: I will water

<07301> thee with my tears <01832>, O Heshbon <02809>, and

Elealeh <0500>: for the shouting <01959> for thy summer <07019>

fruits and for thy harvest <07105> is fallen <05307>.

10 And gladness <08057> is taken <0622> away, and joy <01524>

out of the plentiful <03759> field; and in the vineyards <03754>

there shall be no <03808> singing <07442>, neither <03808> shall

there be shouting <0731>: the treaders <01869> shall tread

<01869> out no <03808> wine <03196> in [their] presses <03342>;

I have made [their vintage] shouting <01959> to cease <07673>.

11 Wherefore my bowels <04578> shall sound <01993> like an harp

<03658> for Moab <04124>, and mine inward <07130> parts for

Kirharesh <07025>.

12 And it shall come <01961> to pass, when <03588> it is seen

<07200> that Moab <04124> is weary <03811> on <05921> the high

<01116> place, that he shall come <0935> to his sanctuary

<04720> to pray <06419>; but he shall not prevail <03201>.

13 This <02008> [is] the word <01697> that the LORD <03068>

hath spoken <01696> concerning <0413> Moab <04124> since that

time <0227>.

14 But now <06258> the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696>, saying

<0559>, Within three <07969> years <08141>, as the years <08141>

of an hireling <07916>, and the glory <03519> of Moab <04124>

shall be contemned <07034>, with all <03605> that great <07227>

multitude <01995>; and the remnant <07605> [shall be] very

<04213> small <04213> [and] feeble <03808>.

Isaiah 17

1. The burden <04853> of Damascus <01834>. Behold <02009>,

Damascus <01834> is taken <05493> away <05493> from [being] a

city <05892>, and it shall be a ruinous <04654> heap <04596>.

2 The cities <05892> of Aroer <06177> [are] forsaken <05800>:

they shall be for flocks <05739>, which shall lie <07257> down

<07257>, and none <0369> shall make [them] afraid <02729>.

3 The fortress <04013> also shall cease <07673> from Ephraim

<0669>, and the kingdom <04467> from Damascus <01834>, and the

remnant <07605> of Syria <0758>: they shall be as the glory

<03519> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, saith <05002>

the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

4 And in that day <03117> it shall come <01961> to pass, [that]

the glory <03519> of Jacob <03290> shall be made thin <01809>,

and the fatness <04924> of his flesh <01320> shall wax lean

<07329>.

5 And it shall be as when the harvestman <07105> gathereth

<0622> the corn <07054>, and reapeth <07114> the ears <07641>

with his arm <02220>; and it shall be as he that gathereth

<03950> ears <07641> in the valley <06010> of Rephaim <07497>.

6. Yet gleaning <05955> grapes shall be left <07604> in it, as

the shaking <05363> of an olive <02132> tree, two <08147> [or]

three <07969> berries <01620> in the top <07218> of the

uppermost bough <0534>, four <0702> [or] five <02568> in the

outmost fruitful <06509> branches <05585> thereof, saith <05002>

the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

7 At that day <03117> shall a man <0120> look <08159> to his

Maker <06213>, and his eyes <05869> shall have respect <07200>

to the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>.

8 And he shall not look <08159> to the altars <04196>, the work

<04639> of his hands <03027>, neither <03808> shall respect

<07200> [that] which <0834> his fingers <0676> have made <06213>,

either the groves <0842>, or the images <02553>.

9. In that day <03117> shall his strong <04581> cities <05892>

be as a forsaken <05800> bough <02793>, and an uppermost branch

<0534>, which <0834> they left <05800> because <06440> of the

children <01121> of Israel <03478>: and there shall be

desolation <08077>.

10 Because <03588> thou hast forgotten <07911> the God <0430>

of thy salvation <03468>, and hast not been mindful <02142> of

the rock <06697> of thy strength <04581>, therefore shalt thou

plant <05193> pleasant <02532> plants <05194>, and shalt set

<02232> it with strange <02114> slips <02156>:

11 In the day <03117> shalt thou make thy plant <05194> to grow

<07735>, and in the morning <01242> shalt thou make thy seed

<02233> to flourish <06524>: [but] the harvest <07105> [shall

be] a heap <05067> in the day <03117> of grief <02470> and of

desperate <0605> sorrow <03511>.

12. Woe <01945> to the multitude <01995> of many <07227> people

<05971>, [which] make a noise <01993> like the noise <01993> of

the seas <03220>; and to the rushing <07588> of nations <03816>,

[that] make a rushing <07582> like the rushing <07582> of mighty

<03524> waters <04325>!

13 The nations <03816> shall rush <07582> like the rushing

<07588> of many <07227> waters <04325>: but [God] shall rebuke

<01605> them, and they shall flee <05127> far <04801> off, and

shall be chased <07291> as the chaff <04671> of the mountains

<02022> before <06440> the wind <07307>, and like a rolling

<01534> thing before <06440> the whirlwind.

14 And behold <02009> at eveningtide trouble <01091>; [and]

before <02962> the morning <01242> he [is] not. This <02088>

[is] the portion <02506> of them that spoil <08154> us, and the

lot <01486> of them that rob <0962> us.

Isaiah 18

1. Woe <01945> to the land <0776> shadowing <06767> with wings

<03671>, which <0834> [is] beyond <05676> the rivers <05104> of

Ethiopia <03568>:

2 That sendeth <07971> ambassadors <06735> by the sea <03220>,

even in vessels <03627> of bulrushes <01573> upon the waters

<04325>, [saying], Go <03212>, ye swift <07031> messengers

<04397>, to a nation <01471> scattered <04900> and peeled

<04178>, to a people <05971> terrible <03372> from their

beginning <01931> hitherto <01973>; a nation <01471> meted

<06978> out and trodden <04001> down, whose <0834> land <0776>

the rivers <05104> have spoiled <0958>!

3 All <03605> ye inhabitants <03427> of the world <08398>, and

dwellers <07931> on the earth <0776>, see <07200> ye, when he

lifteth <05375> up an ensign <05251> on the mountains <02022>;

and when he bloweth <08628> a trumpet <07782>, hear <08085> ye.

4 For so <03541> the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, I will

take my rest <08252>, and I will consider <05027> in my dwelling

<04349> place like a clear <06703> heat <02527> upon herbs

<0216>, [and] like a cloud <05645> of dew <02919> in the heat

<02527> of harvest <07105>.

5 For afore <06440> the harvest <07105>, when <03588> the bud

<06525> is perfect <08552>, and the sour <01155> grape <01155>

is ripening <01580> in the flower <05327>, he shall both cut

<03772> off the sprigs <02150> with pruning hooks, and take

<05493> away <05493> [and] cut <08456> down the branches <05189>.

6 They shall be left <05800> together <03162> unto the fowls

<05861> of the mountains <02022>, and to the beasts <0929> of

the earth <0776>: and the fowls <05861> shall summer <06972>

upon them, and all <03605> the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>

shall winter <02778> upon them.

7 In that time <06256> shall the present <07862> be brought

<02986> unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> of a people

<05971> scattered <04900> and peeled <04178>, and from a people

<05971> terrible <03372> from their beginning <01931> hitherto

<01973>; a nation <01471> meted <06978> out and trodden <04001>

under foot <04001>, whose <0834> land <0776> the rivers <05104>

have spoiled <0958>, to the place <04725> of the name <08034> of

the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the mount <02022> Zion

<06726>.

Isaiah 19

1. The burden <04853> of Egypt <04714>. Behold <02009>, the

LORD <03068> rideth <07392> upon a swift <07031> cloud <05645>,

and shall come <0935> into Egypt <04714>: and the idols <0457>

of Egypt <04714> shall be moved <05128> at his presence <06440>,

and the heart <03824> of Egypt <04714> shall melt <04549> in the

midst <07130> of it.

2 And I will set <05526> the Egyptians <04714> against the

Egyptians <04714>: and they shall fight <03898> every <0376> one

<0376> against his brother <0251>, and every <0376> one <0376>

against his neighbour <07453>; city <05892> against city <05892>,

[and] kingdom <04467> against kingdom <04467>.

3 And the spirit <07307> of Egypt <04714> shall fail <01238> in

the midst <07130> thereof; and I will destroy <01104> the

counsel <06098> thereof: and they shall seek <01875> to the

idols <0457>, and to the charmers <0328>, and to them that have

familiar spirits <0178>, and to the wizards <03049>.

4 And the Egyptians <04714> will I give <05534> over <05534>

into the hand <03027> of a cruel <07186> lord <0113>; and a

fierce <05794> king <04428> shall rule <04910> over them, saith

<05002> the Lord <0113>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

5 And the waters <04325> shall fail <05405> from the sea

<03220>, and the river <05104> shall be wasted <02717> and dried

<03001> up.

6 And they shall turn <02186> the rivers <05104> far away;

[and] the brooks <02975> of defence <04692> shall be emptied

<01809> and dried <02717> up: the reeds <07070> and flags

<05488> shall wither <07060>.

7 The paper <06169> reeds by the brooks <02975>, by the mouth

<06310> of the brooks <02975>, and every <03605> thing sown

<04218> by the brooks <02975>, shall wither <03001>, be driven

<05086> away, and be no <0369> [more].

8 The fishers <01771> also shall mourn <0578>, and all <03605>

they that cast <07993> angle <02443> into the brooks <02975>

shall lament <056>, and they that spread <06566> nets <04364>

upon the waters <04325> shall languish <0535>.

9 Moreover they that work <05647> in fine <08305> flax <06593>,

and they that weave <0707> networks <02355>, shall be confounded

<0954>.

10 And they shall be broken <01792> in the purposes <08356>

thereof, all <03605> that make <06213> sluices <07938> [and]

ponds <099> for fish <05315>.

11 Surely <0389> the princes <08269> of Zoan <06814> [are]

fools <0191>, the counsel <06098> of the wise <02450>

counsellors <03289> of Pharaoh <06547> is become <01197> brutish

<01197>: how <0349> say <0559> ye unto Pharaoh <06547>, I [am]

the son <01121> of the wise <02450>, the son <01121> of ancient

<06924> kings <04428>?

12 Where <0335> [are] they? where <0645> [are] thy wise <02450>

[men]? and let them tell <05046> thee now <04994>, and let them

know <03045> what <04100> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath

purposed <03289> upon Egypt <04714>.

13 The princes <08269> of Zoan <06814> are become <02973> fools

<02973>, the princes <08269> of Noph <05297> are deceived

<05377>; they have also seduced <08582> Egypt <04714>, [even

they that are] the stay <06438> of the tribes <07626> thereof.

14 The LORD <03068> hath mingled <04537> a perverse <05773>

spirit <07307> in the midst <07130> thereof: and they have

caused Egypt <04714> to err <08582> in every <03605> work

<04639> thereof, as a drunken <07910> [man] staggereth <08582>

in his vomit <06892>.

15 Neither <03808> shall there be [any] work <04639> for Egypt

<04714>, which the head <07218> or tail <02180>, branch <03712>

or rush <0100>, may do <06213>.

16 In that day <03117> shall Egypt <04714> be like unto women

<0802>: and it shall be afraid <02729> and fear <06342> because

<06440> of the shaking <08573> of the hand <03027> of the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635>, which <0834> he shaketh <05130> over

<05921> it.

17 And the land <0127> of Judah <03063> shall be a terror

<02283> unto Egypt <04714>, every <03605> one that maketh

mention <02142> thereof shall be afraid <06342> in himself,

because <06440> of the counsel <06098> of the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635>, which <0834> he hath determined <03289> against

<05921> it.

18. In that day <03117> shall five <02568> cities <05892> in

the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> speak <01696> the language

<08193> of Canaan <03667>, and swear <07650> to the LORD <03068>

of hosts <06635>; one <0259> shall be called <0559>, The city

<05892> of destruction <02041>.

19 In that day <03117> shall there be an altar <04196> to the

LORD <03068> in the midst <08432> of the land <0776> of Egypt

<04714>, and a pillar <04676> at <0681> the border <01366>

thereof to the LORD <03068>.

20 And it shall be for a sign <0226> and for a witness <05707>

unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> in the land <0776> of

Egypt <04714>: for they shall cry <06817> unto the LORD <03068>

because <06440> of the oppressors <03905>, and he shall send

<07971> them a saviour <03467>, and a great <07227> one, and he

shall deliver <05337> them.

21 And the LORD <03068> shall be known <03045> to Egypt <04714>,

and the Egyptians <04714> shall know <03045> the LORD <03068>

in that day <03117>, and shall do <05647> sacrifice <02077> and

oblation <04503>; yea, they shall vow <05087> a vow <05088> unto

the LORD <03068>, and perform <07999> [it].

22 And the LORD <03068> shall smite <05062> Egypt <04714>: he

shall smite <05062> and heal <07495> [it]: and they shall return

<07725> [even] to the LORD <03068>, and he shall be intreated

<06279> of them, and shall heal <07495> them.

23 In that day <03117> shall there be a highway <04546> out of

Egypt <04714> to Assyria <0804>, and the Assyrian <0804> shall

come <0935> into Egypt <04714>, and the Egyptian <04714> into

Assyria <0804>, and the Egyptians <04714> shall serve <05647>

with the Assyrians <0804>.

24 In that day <03117> shall Israel <03478> be the third

<07992> with Egypt <04714> and with Assyria <0804>, [even] a

blessing <01293> in the midst <07130> of the land <0776>:

25 Whom <0834> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall bless

<01288>, saying <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] Egypt <04714> my

people <05971>, and Assyria <0804> the work <04639> of my hands

<03027>, and Israel <03478> mine inheritance <05159>.

Isaiah 20

1. In the year <08141> that Tartan <08661> came <0935> unto

Ashdod <0795>, (when Sargon <05623> the king <04428> of Assyria

<0804> sent <07971> him,) and fought <03898> against Ashdod

<0795>, and took <03920> it;

2 At the same <01931> time <06256> spake <01696> the LORD

<03068> by Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>, saying

<0559>, Go <03212> and loose <06605> the sackcloth <08242> from

off <05921> thy loins <04975>, and put <02502> off thy shoe

<05275> from thy foot <07272>. And he did <06213> so <03651>,

walking <01980> naked <06174> and barefoot <03182>.

3 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Like as my servant <05650>

Isaiah <03470> hath walked <01980> naked <06174> and barefoot

<03182> three <07969> years <08141> [for] a sign <0226> and

wonder <04159> upon Egypt <04714> and upon Ethiopia <03568>;

4 So <03651> shall the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> lead

<05090> away the Egyptians <04714> prisoners <07628>, and the

Ethiopians <03569> captives <01546>, young <05288> and old

<02205>, naked <06174> and barefoot <03182>, even with [their]

buttocks <08357> uncovered <02834>, to the shame <06172> of

Egypt <04714>.

5 And they shall be afraid <02865> and ashamed <0954> of

Ethiopia <03568> their expectation <04007>, and of Egypt <04714>

their glory <08597>.

6 And the inhabitant <03427> of this <02088> isle <0339> shall

say <0559> in that day <03117>, Behold <02009>, such <03541>

[is] our expectation <04007>, whither we flee <05127> for help

<05833> to be delivered <05337> from the king <04428> of Assyria

<0804>: and how <0349> shall we escape <04422>?

Isaiah 21

1. The burden <04853> of the desert <04057> of the sea <03220>.

As whirlwinds <05492> in the south <05045> pass <02498> through;

[so] it cometh <0935> from the desert <04057>, from a terrible

<03372> land <0776>.

2 A grievous <07186> vision <02380> is declared <05046> unto me;

the treacherous <0898> dealer dealeth treacherously <0898>, and

the spoiler <07703> spoileth <07703>. Go <05927> up, O Elam

<05867>: besiege <06696>, O Media <04074>; all <03605> the

sighing <0585> thereof have I made to cease <07673>.

3 Therefore are my loins <04975> filled <04390> with pain

<02479>: pangs <06735> have taken <0270> hold <0270> upon me, as

the pangs <06735> of a woman that travaileth <03205>: I was

bowed <05791> down at the hearing <08085> [of it]; I was

dismayed <0926> at the seeing <07200> [of it].

4 My heart <03824> panted <08582>, fearfulness <06427>

affrighted <01204> me: the night <05399> of my pleasure <02837>

hath he turned <07760> into fear <02731> unto me.

5 Prepare <06186> the table <07979>, watch <06822> in the

watchtower <06844>, eat <0398>, drink <08354>: arise <06965>, ye

princes <08269>, [and] anoint <04886> the shield <04043>.

6 For thus <03541> hath the Lord <0136> said <0559> unto me, Go

<03212>, set <05975> a watchman <06822>, let him declare <05046>

what <0834> he seeth <07200>.

7 And he saw <07200> a chariot <07393> [with] a couple <06776>

of horsemen <06571>, a chariot <07393> of asses <02543>, [and] a

chariot <07393> of camels <01581>; and he hearkened <07181>

diligently <07182> with much <07227> heed <07182>:

8 And he cried <07121>, A lion <0738>: My lord <0136>, I stand

<05975> continually <08548> upon the watchtower <04707> in the

daytime <03119>, and I am set <05324> in my ward <04931> whole

<03605> nights <03915>:

9 And, behold <02009>, here <02088> cometh <0935> a chariot

<07393> of men <0376>, [with] a couple <06776> of horsemen

<06571>. And he answered <06030> and said <0559>, Babylon <0894>

is fallen <05307>, is fallen <05307>; and all <03605> the graven

<06456> images of her gods <0430> he hath broken <07665> unto

the ground <0776>.

10 O my threshing <04098>, and the corn <01121> of my floor

<01637>: that which <0834> I have heard <08085> of the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, have

I declared <05046> unto you.

11. The burden <04853> of Dumah <01746>. He calleth <07121> to

me out of Seir <08165>, Watchman <08104>, what <04100> of the

night <03915>? Watchman <08104>, what <04100> of the night

<03915>?

12 The watchman <08104> said <0559>, The morning <01242> cometh

<0857>, and also <01571> the night <03915>: if <0518> ye will

enquire <01158>, enquire <01158> ye: return <07725>, come <0857>.

13. The burden <04853> upon Arabia <06152>. In the forest

<03293> in Arabia <06152> shall ye lodge <03885>, O ye

travelling <0736> companies <0736> of Dedanim <01720>.

14 The inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776> of Tema <08485>

brought <0857> water <04325> to him that was thirsty <06771>,

they prevented <06923> with their bread <03899> him that fled

<05074>.

15 For they fled <05074> from the swords <02719>, from the

drawn <05203> sword <02719>, and from the bent <01869> bow

<07198>, and from the grievousness <03514> of war <04421>.

16 For thus <03541> hath the Lord <0136> said <0559> unto me,

Within <05750> a year <08141>, according to the years <08141> of

an hireling <07916>, and all <03605> the glory <03519> of Kedar

<06938> shall fail <03615>:

17 And the residue <07605> of the number <04557> of archers

<07198>, the mighty <01368> men of the children <01121> of Kedar

<06938>, shall be diminished <04591>: for the LORD <03068> God

<0430> of Israel <03478> hath spoken <01696> [it].

Isaiah 22

1. The burden <04853> of the valley <01516> of vision <02384>.

What <04100> aileth thee now <0645>, that thou art wholly

<03605> gone <05927> up to the housetops <01406>?

2 Thou that art full <04392> of stirs <08663>, a tumultuous

<01993> city <05892>, a joyous <05947> city <07151>: thy slain

<02491> [men are] not slain <02491> with the sword <02719>, nor

<03808> dead <04191> in battle <04421>.

3 All <03605> thy rulers <07101> are fled <05074> together

<03162>, they are bound <0631> by the archers <07198>: all

<03605> that are found <04672> in thee are bound <0631> together

<03162>, [which] have fled <01272> from far <07350>.

4 Therefore said <0559> I, Look <08159> away from me; I will

weep <01065> bitterly <04843>, labour <0213> not to comfort

<05162> me, because <05921> of the spoiling <07701> of the

daughter <01323> of my people <05971>.

5 For [it is] a day <03117> of trouble <04103>, and of treading

<04001> down, and of perplexity <03998> by the Lord <0136> GOD

<03069> of hosts <06635> in the valley <01516> of vision <02384>,

breaking <06979> down the walls <07023>, and of crying <07771>

to the mountains <02022>.

6 And Elam <05867> bare <05375> the quiver <0827> with chariots

<07393> of men <0120> [and] horsemen <06571>, and Kir <07024>

uncovered <06168> the shield <04043>.

7 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] thy choicest

<04055> valleys <06010> shall be full <04390> of chariots

<07393>, and the horsemen <06571> shall set <07896> themselves

in array <07896> at the gate <08179>.

8. And he discovered <01540> the covering <04539> of Judah

<03063>, and thou didst look <05027> in that day <03117> to the

armour <05402> of the house <01004> of the forest <03293>.

9 Ye have seen <07200> also the breaches <01233> of the city

<05892> of David <01732>, that they are many <07231>: and ye

gathered <06908> together the waters <04325> of the lower

<08481> pool <01295>.

10 And ye have numbered <05608> the houses <01004> of Jerusalem

<03389>, and the houses <01004> have ye broken <05422> down

<05422> to fortify <01219> the wall <02346>.

11 Ye made <06213> also a ditch <04724> between <0996> the two

walls <02346> for the water <04325> of the old <03465> pool

<01295>: but ye have not looked <05027> unto the maker <06213>

thereof, neither <03808> had respect <07200> unto him that

fashioned <03335> it long <07350> ago <07350>.

12 And in that day <03117> did the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of

hosts <06635> call <07121> to weeping <01065>, and to mourning

<04553>, and to baldness <07144>, and to girding <02296> with

sackcloth <08242>:

13 And behold <02009> joy <08342> and gladness <08057>, slaying

<02026> oxen <01241>, and killing <07819> sheep <06629>, eating

<0398> flesh <01320>, and drinking <08354> wine <03196>: let us

eat <0398> and drink <08354>; for to morrow <04279> we shall die

<04191>.

14 And it was revealed <01540> in mine ears <0241> by the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635>, Surely <0518> this <02088> iniquity

<05771> shall not be purged <03722> from you till <05704> ye die

<04191>, saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts

<06635>.

15. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of

hosts <06635>, Go <03212>, get <0935> thee unto this <02088>

treasurer <05532>, [even] unto Shebna <07644>, which <0834> [is]

over <05921> the house <01004>, [and say <0559>],

16 What <04100> hast thou here <06311>? and whom <04310> hast

thou here <06311>, that thou hast hewed <02672> thee out a

sepulchre <06913> here <06311>, [as] he that heweth <02672> him

out a sepulchre <06913> on high <04791>, [and] that graveth an

habitation <04908> for himself in a rock <05553>?

17 Behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> will carry <02904> thee

away with a mighty <01397> captivity <02925>, and will surely

cover <05844> thee.

18 He will surely violently turn <06801> and toss <06802> thee

[like] a ball <01754> into <0413> a large country <0776>: there

<08033> shalt thou die <04191>, and there <08033> the chariots

<04818> of thy glory <03519> [shall be] the shame <07036> of thy

lord's <0113> house <01004>.

19 And I will drive <01920> thee from thy station <04673>, and

from thy state <04612> shall he pull <02040> thee down.

20 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>, that

I will call <07121> my servant <05650> Eliakim <0471> the son

<01121> of Hilkiah <02518>:

21 And I will clothe <03847> him with thy robe <03301>, and

strengthen <02388> him with thy girdle <073>, and I will commit

<05414> thy government <04475> into his hand <03027>: and he

shall be a father <01> to the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem

<03389>, and to the house <01004> of Judah <03063>.

22 And the key <04668> of the house <01004> of David <01732>

will I lay <05414> upon his shoulder <07926>; so he shall open

<06605>, and none <0369> shall shut <05462>; and he shall shut

<05462>, and none <0369> shall open <06605>.

23 And I will fasten <08628> him [as] a nail <03489> in a sure

<0539> place <04725>; and he shall be for a glorious <03519>

throne <03678> to his father's <01> house <01004>.

24 And they shall hang <08518> upon him all <03605> the glory

<03519> of his father's <01> house <01004>, the offspring

<06631> and the issue <06849>, all <03605> vessels <03627> of

small <06996> quantity, from the vessels <03627> of cups <0101>,

even to all <03605> the vessels <03627> of flagons <05035>.

25 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635>, shall the nail <03489> that is fastened <08628> in the

sure <0539> place <04725> be removed <04185>, and be cut <01438>

down <01438>, and fall <05307>; and the burden <04853> that

[was] upon it shall be cut <03772> off: for the LORD <03068>

hath spoken <01696> [it].

Isaiah 23

1. The burden <04853> of Tyre <06865>. Howl <03213>, ye ships

<0591> of Tarshish <08659>; for it is laid waste <07703>, so

that there is no house <01004>, no entering <0935> in: from the

land <0776> of Chittim <03794> it is revealed <01540> to them.

2 Be still <01826>, ye inhabitants <03427> of the isle <0339>;

thou whom the merchants <05503> of Zidon <06721>, that pass

<05674> over <05674> the sea <03220>, have replenished <04390>.

3 And by great <07227> waters <04325> the seed <02233> of Sihor

<07883>, the harvest <07105> of the river <02975>, [is] her

revenue <08393>; and she is a mart <05505> of nations <01471>.

4 Be thou ashamed <0954>, O Zidon <06721>: for the sea <03220>

hath spoken <0559>, [even] the strength <04581> of the sea

<03220>, saying <0559>, I travail <02342> not, nor <03808> bring

<03205> forth <03205> children, neither <03808> do I nourish

<01431> up young <0970> men, [nor] bring <07311> up virgins

<01330>.

5 As at the report <08088> concerning Egypt <04714>, [so] shall

they be sorely pained <02342> at the report <08088> of Tyre

<06865>.

6 Pass <05674> ye over <05674> to Tarshish <08659>; howl

<03213>, ye inhabitants <03427> of the isle <0339>.

7 [Is] this <02063> your joyous <05947> [city], whose antiquity

<06927> [is] of ancient <06924> days <03117>? her own feet

<07272> shall carry <02986> her afar <07350> off to sojourn

<01481>.

8 Who <04310> hath taken this <02063> counsel <03289> against

<05921> Tyre <06865>, the crowning <05849> [city], whose <0834>

merchants <05503> [are] princes <08269>, whose traffickers

<03669> [are] the honourable <01935> of the earth <0776>?

9 The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath purposed <03289> it,

to stain <02490> the pride <01347> of all <03605> glory <06643>,

[and] to bring <07034> into contempt <07043> all <03605> the

honourable <03513> of the earth <0776>.

10 Pass <05674> through thy land <0776> as a river <02975>, O

daughter <01323> of Tarshish <08659>: [there is] no <0369> more

<05750> strength <04206>.

11 He stretched <05186> out his hand <03027> over <05921> the

sea <03220>, he shook <07264> the kingdoms <04467>: the LORD

<03068> hath given a commandment <06680> against <0413> the

merchant <03667> [city], to destroy <08045> the strong <04581>

holds <04581> thereof.

12 And he said <0559>, Thou shalt no <03808> more <05750>

rejoice <05937>, O thou oppressed <06231> virgin <01330>,

daughter <01323> of Zidon <06721>: arise <06965>, pass <05674>

over <05674> to Chittim <03794>; there <08033> also <01571>

shalt thou have no <03808> rest <05117>.

13 Behold <02005> the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778>;

this <02088> people <05971> was not, [till] the Assyrian <0804>

founded <03245> it for them that dwell in the wilderness <06728>:

they set <06965> up the towers <0971> thereof, they raised

<06209> up the palaces <0759> thereof; [and] he brought <07760>

it to ruin <04654>.

14 Howl <03213>, ye ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659>: for your

strength <04581> is laid waste <07703>.

15. And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>, that

Tyre <06865> shall be forgotten <07911> seventy <07657> years

<08141>, according to the days <03117> of one <0259> king

<04428>: after the end <07093> of seventy <07657> years <08141>

shall Tyre <06865> sing <07892> as an harlot <02181>.

16 Take <03947> an harp <03658>, go <05437> about <05437> the

city <05892>, thou harlot <02181> that hast been forgotten

<07911>; make sweet <03190> melody <05059>, sing many <07235>

songs <07892>, that thou mayest be remembered <02142>.

17 And it shall come <01961> to pass after the end <07093> of

seventy <07657> years <08141>, that the LORD <03068> will visit

<06485> Tyre <06865>, and she shall turn <07725> to her hire

<0868>, and shall commit <02181> fornication <02181> with all

<03605> the kingdoms <04467> of the world <0776> upon the face

<06440> of the earth <0127>.

18 And her merchandise <05504> and her hire <0868> shall be

holiness <06944> to the LORD <03068>: it shall not be treasured

<0686> nor <03808> laid <02630> up; for her merchandise <05504>

shall be for them that dwell <03427> before <06440> the LORD

<03068>, to eat <0398> sufficiently <07654>, and for durable

<06266> clothing <04374>.

Isaiah 24

1. Behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> maketh the earth <0776>

empty <01238>, and maketh it waste <01110>, and turneth <05753>

it upside down, and scattereth <06327> abroad <06327> the

inhabitants <03427> thereof.

2 And it shall be, as with the people <05971>, so with the

priest <03548>; as with the servant <05650>, so with his master

<0113>; as with the maid <08198>, so with her mistress <01404>;

as with the buyer <07069>, so with the seller <04376>; as with

the lender <03867>, so with the borrower <03867>; as with the

taker of usury <05383>, so with the giver of usury <05378> to

him.

3 The land <0776> shall be utterly emptied <01238>, and utterly

spoiled <0962>: for the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> this

<02088> word <01697>.

4 The earth <0776> mourneth <056> [and] fadeth <05034> away,

the world <08398> languisheth <0535> [and] fadeth <05034> away,

the haughty <04791> people <05971> of the earth <0776> do

languish <0535>.

5 The earth <0776> also is defiled <02610> under <08478> the

inhabitants <03427> thereof; because <03588> they have

transgressed <05674> the laws <08451>, changed <02498> the

ordinance <02706>, broken <06565> the everlasting <05769>

covenant <01285>.

6 Therefore hath the curse <0423> devoured <0398> the earth

<0776>, and they that dwell <03427> therein are desolate <0816>:

therefore the inhabitants <03427> of the earth <0776> are burned

<02787>, and few <04213> men <0582> left <07604>.

7 The new <08492> wine <08492> mourneth <056>, the vine <01612>

languisheth <0535>, all <03605> the merryhearted do sigh <0584>.

8 The mirth <04885> of tabrets <08596> ceaseth <07673>, the

noise <07588> of them that rejoice <05947> endeth <02308>, the

joy <04885> of the harp <03658> ceaseth <07673>.

9 They shall not drink <08354> wine <03196> with a song <07892>;

strong drink <07941> shall be bitter <04843> to them that drink

<08354> it.

10 The city <07151> of confusion <08414> is broken <07665> down:

every <03605> house <01004> is shut <05462> up, that no man

<0935> may come <0935> in.

11 [There is] a crying <06682> for wine <03196> in the streets

<02351>; all <03605> joy <08057> is darkened <06150>, the mirth

<04885> of the land <0776> is gone <01540>.

12 In the city <05892> is left <07604> desolation <08047>, and

the gate <08179> is smitten <03807> with destruction <07591>.

13. When <03588> thus <03541> it shall be in the midst <07130>

of the land <0776> among <08432> the people <05971>, [there

shall be] as the shaking <05363> of an olive <02132> tree, [and]

as the gleaning <05955> grapes when <0518> the vintage <01210>

is done <03615>.

14 They shall lift <05375> up their voice <06963>, they shall

sing <07442> for the majesty <01347> of the LORD <03068>, they

shall cry <06670> aloud <06670> from the sea <03220>.

15 Wherefore glorify <03513> ye the LORD <03068> in the fires

<0217>, [even] the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> God <0430>

of Israel <03478> in the isles <0339> of the sea <03220>.

16. From the uttermost <03671> part of the earth <0776> have we

heard <08085> songs <02158>, [even] glory <06643> to the

righteous <06662>. But I said <0559>, My leanness <07334>, my

leanness <07334>, woe <0188> unto me! the treacherous <0898>

dealers have dealt treacherously <0898>; yea, the treacherous

<0898> dealers have dealt very <0899> treacherously <0898>.

17 Fear <06343>, and the pit <06354>, and the snare <06341>,

[are] upon thee, O inhabitant <03427> of the earth <0776>.

18 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] he who fleeth

<05127> from the noise <06963> of the fear <06343> shall fall

<05307> into <0413> the pit <06354>; and he that cometh <05927>

up out of the midst <08432> of the pit <06354> shall be taken

<03920> in the snare <06341>: for the windows <0699> from on

high <04791> are open <06605>, and the foundations <04146> of

the earth <0776> do shake <07493>.

19 The earth <0776> is utterly broken <07489> down, the earth

<0776> is clean <06565> dissolved <06565>, the earth <0776> is

moved <04132> exceedingly.

20 The earth <0776> shall reel <05128> to and fro like a

drunkard <07910>, and shall be removed <05110> like a cottage

<04412>; and the transgression <06588> thereof shall be heavy

<03513> upon it; and it shall fall <05307>, and not rise <06965>

again <03254>.

21 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] the LORD <03068> shall punish <06485> the host <06635> of

the high <04791> ones [that are] on high <04791>, and the kings

<04428> of the earth <0127> upon the earth <0127>.

22 And they shall be gathered <0622> together, [as] prisoners

<0616> are gathered <0626> in the pit <0953>, and shall be shut

<05462> up in the prison <04525>, and after many <07230> days

<03117> shall they be visited <06485>.

23 Then the moon <03842> shall be confounded <02659>, and the

sun <02535> ashamed <0954>, when <03588> the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> shall reign <04427> in mount <02022> Zion <06726>,

and in Jerusalem <03389>, and before <05048> his ancients

<02204> gloriously <03519>.

Isaiah 25

1. O LORD <03068>, thou [art] my God <0430>; I will exalt

<07311> thee, I will praise <03034> thy name <08034>; for thou

hast done <06213> wonderful <06382> [things; thy] counsels

<06098> of old <07350> [are] faithfulness <0530> [and] truth

<0544>.

2 For thou hast made <07760> of a city <05892> an heap <01530>;

[of] a defenced <01219> city <07151> a ruin <04654>: a palace

<0759> of strangers <02114> to be no city <05892>; it shall

never be built <01129>.

3 Therefore shall the strong <05794> people <05971> glorify

<03513> thee, the city <07151> of the terrible <06184> nations

<01471> shall fear <03372> thee.

4 For thou hast been <01961> a strength <04581> to the poor

<01800>, a strength <04581> to the needy <034> in his distress

<06862>, a refuge <04268> from the storm <02230>, a shadow

<06738> from the heat <02721>, when <03588> the blast <07307> of

the terrible <06184> ones [is] as a storm <02230> [against] the

wall <07023>.

5 Thou shalt bring <03665> down <03665> the noise <07588> of

strangers <02114>, as the heat <02721> in a dry <06724> place;

[even] the heat <02721> with the shadow <06738> of a cloud

<05645>: the branch <02158> of the terrible <06184> ones shall

be brought <06030> low <06030>.

6. And in this <02088> mountain <02022> shall the LORD <03068>

of hosts <06635> make <06213> unto all <03605> people <05971> a

feast <04960> of fat <08081> things, a feast <04960> of wines

<08105> on the lees <08105>, of fat <08081> things full of

marrow <04229>, of wines <08105> on the lees <08105> well

refined <02212>.

7 And he will destroy <01104> in this <02088> mountain <02022>

the face <06440> of the covering <03875> cast <03874> over

<05921> all <03605> people <05971>, and the vail <04541> that is

spread <05259> over <05921> all <03605> nations <01471>.

8 He will swallow <01104> up death <04194> in victory <05331>;

and the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will wipe <04229> away tears

<01832> from off <05921> all <03605> faces <06440>; and the

rebuke <02781> of his people <05971> shall he take <05493> away

<05493> from off <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>: for the

LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> [it].

9. And it shall be said <0559> in that day <03117>, Lo <02009>,

this <02088> [is] our God <0430>; we have waited <06960> for him,

and he will save <03467> us: this <02088> [is] the LORD <03068>;

we have waited <06960> for him, we will be glad <01528> and

rejoice <08055> in his salvation <03444>.

10 For in this <02088> mountain <02022> shall the hand <03027>

of the LORD <03068> rest <05117>, and Moab <04124> shall be

trodden <01758> down under <08478> him, even as straw <04963> is

trodden <01758> down for the dunghill <04087>.

11 And he shall spread <06566> forth his hands <03027> in the

midst <07130> of them, as he that swimmeth <07811> spreadeth

<06566> forth [his hands] to swim <07811>: and he shall bring

<08213> down <08213> their pride <01346> together with the

spoils <0698> of their hands <03027>.

12 And the fortress <04013> of the high <04869> fort <04869> of

thy walls <02346> shall he bring <07817> down <07817>, lay low

<08213>, [and] bring <05060> to the ground <0776>, [even] to the

dust <06083>.

Isaiah 26

1. In that day <03117> shall this <02088> song <07892> be sung

<07891> in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>; We have a strong

<05797> city <05892>; salvation <03444> will [God] appoint

<07896> [for] walls <02346> and bulwarks <02426>.

2 Open <06605> ye the gates <08179>, that the righteous <06662>

nation <01471> which keepeth <08104> the truth <0529> may enter

<0935> in.

3 Thou wilt keep <05341> [him] in perfect peace <07965>,

[whose] mind <03336> [is] stayed <05564> [on thee]: because

<03588> he trusteth <0982> in thee.

4 Trust <0982> ye in the LORD <03068> for ever <05703>: for in

the LORD <03050> JEHOVAH <03068> [is] everlasting <05769>

strength <06697>:

5. For he bringeth <07817> down <07817> them that dwell <03427>

on <04791> high <04791>; the lofty <07682> city <07151>, he

layeth it low <08213>; he layeth it low <08213>, [even] to the

ground <0776>; he bringeth <05060> it [even] to the dust <06083>.

6 The foot <07272> shall tread <07429> it down, [even] the feet

<07272> of the poor <06041>, [and] the steps <06471> of the

needy <01800>.

7 The way <0734> of the just <06662> [is] uprightness <04339>:

thou, most upright <03477>, dost weigh <06424> the path <04570>

of the just <06662>.

8 Yea <0637>, in the way <0734> of thy judgments <04941>, O

LORD <03068>, have we waited <06960> for thee; the desire

<08378> of [our] soul <05315> [is] to thy name <08034>, and to

the remembrance <02143> of thee.

9 With my soul <05315> have I desired <0183> thee in the night

<03915>; yea <0637>, with my spirit <07307> within <07130> me

will I seek <07836> thee early <07836>: for when <0834> thy

judgments <04941> [are] in the earth <0776>, the inhabitants

<03427> of the world <08398> will learn <03925> righteousness

<06664>.

10 Let favour <02603> be shewed to the wicked <07563>, [yet]

will he not learn <03925> righteousness <06664>: in the land

<0776> of uprightness <05229> will he deal unjustly <05765>, and

will not behold <07200> the majesty <01348> of the LORD <03068>.

11 LORD <03068>, [when] thy hand <03027> is lifted <05375> up,

they will not see <02372>: [but] they shall see <02372>, and be

ashamed <0954> for [their] envy <07068> at the people <05971>;

yea <0637>, the fire <0784> of thine enemies <06862> shall

devour <0398> them.

12. LORD <03068>, thou wilt ordain <08239> peace <07965> for us:

for thou also <01571> hast wrought <06466> all <03605> our

works <04639> in us.

13 O LORD <03068> our God <0430>, [other] lords <0113> beside

<02108> thee have had dominion <01196> over us: [but] by thee

only <0905> will we make mention <02142> of thy name <08034>.

14 [They are] dead <04191>, they shall not live <02421>; [they

are] deceased <07496>, they shall not rise <06965>: therefore

<03651> hast thou visited <06485> and destroyed <08045> them,

and made all <03605> their memory <02143> to perish <06>.

15 Thou hast increased <03254> the nation <01471>, O LORD

<03068>, thou hast increased <03254> the nation <01471>: thou

art glorified <03513>: thou hadst removed <07368> [it] far

<07368> [unto] all <03605> the ends <07097> of the earth <0776>.

16 LORD <03068>, in trouble <06862> have they visited <06485>

thee, they poured <06694> out a prayer <03908> [when] thy

chastening <04148> [was] upon them.

17 Like <03644> as a woman with child <02030>, [that] draweth

near <07126> the time of her delivery <03205>, is in pain

<02342>, [and] crieth <02199> out in her pangs <02256>; so

<03651> have we been <01961> in thy sight <06440>, O LORD

<03068>.

18 We have been with child <02029>, we have been in pain

<02342>, we have as it were brought <03205> forth <03205> wind

<07307>; we have not wrought <06213> any deliverance <03444> in

the earth <0776>; neither <01077> have the inhabitants <03427>

of the world <08398> fallen <05307>.

19 Thy dead <04191> [men] shall live <02421>, [together with]

my dead <05038> body <05038> shall they arise <06965>. Awake

<06974> and sing <07442>, ye that dwell <07931> in dust <06083>:

for thy dew <02919> [is as] the dew <02919> of herbs <0219>, and

the earth <0776> shall cast <05307> out the dead <07496>.

20. Come <03212>, my people <05971>, enter <0935> thou into thy

chambers <02315>, and shut <05462> thy doors <01817> about

<01157> thee: hide <02247> thyself as it were for a little

<04592> moment <07281>, until <05704> the indignation <02195> be

overpast <05674>.

21 For, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> cometh <03318> out of

his place <04725> to punish <06485> the inhabitants <03427> of

the earth <0776> for their iniquity <05771>: the earth <0776>

also shall disclose <01540> her blood <01818>, and shall no

<03808> more <05750> cover <03680> her slain <02026>.

Isaiah 27

1. In that day <03117> the LORD <03068> with his sore <07186>

and great <01419> and strong <02389> sword <02719> shall punish

<06485> leviathan <03882> the piercing <01281> serpent <05175>,

even leviathan <03882> that crooked <06129> serpent <05175>; and

he shall slay <02026> the dragon <08577> that [is] in the sea

<03220>.

2 In that day <03117> sing <06031> ye unto her, A vineyard

<03754> of red <02561> wine <02561>.

3 I the LORD <03068> do keep <05341> it; I will water <08248>

it every moment <07281>: lest <06435> [any] hurt <06485> it, I

will keep <05341> it night <03915> and day <03117>.

4 Fury <02534> [is] not in me: who <04310> would set <05414>

the briers <08068> [and] thorns <07898> against me in battle

<04421>? I would go <06585> through them, I would burn <06702>

them together <03162>.

5 Or <0176> let him take <02388> hold <02388> of my strength

<04581>, [that] he may make <06213> peace <07965> with me; [and]

he shall make <06213> peace <07965> with me.

6 He shall cause them that come <0935> of Jacob <03290> to take

<02388> root <08327>: Israel <03478> shall blossom <06692> and

bud <06524>, and fill <04390> the face <06440> of the world

<08398> with fruit <08570>.

7. Hath he smitten <05221> him, as he smote <04347> those that

smote <05221> him? [or] is he slain <02026> according to the

slaughter <02027> of them that are slain <02026> by him?

8 In measure <05432>, when it shooteth <07971> forth, thou wilt

debate <07378> with it: he stayeth <01898> his rough <07186>

wind <07307> in the day <03117> of the east <06921> wind.

9 By this <02063> therefore <03651> shall the iniquity <05771>

of Jacob <03290> be purged <03722>; and this <02088> [is] all

<03605> the fruit <06529> to take <05493> away <05493> his sin

<02403>; when he maketh <07760> all <03605> the stones <068> of

the altar <04196> as chalkstones that are beaten <05310> in

sunder, the groves <0842> and images <02553> shall not stand

<06965> up.

10 Yet the defenced <01219> city <05892> [shall be] desolate

<0910>, [and] the habitation <05116> forsaken <07971>, and left

<05800> like a wilderness <04057>: there <08033> shall the calf

<05695> feed <07462>, and there <08033> shall he lie <07257>

down <07257>, and consume <03615> the branches <05585> thereof.

11 When the boughs <07105> thereof are withered <03001>, they

shall be broken <07665> off: the women <0802> come <0935>, [and]

set them on fire <0215>: for it [is] a people <05971> of no

<03808> understanding <0998>: therefore he that made <06213>

them will not have mercy <07355> on them, and he that formed

<03335> them will shew them no <03808> favour <02603>.

12 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] the LORD <03068> shall beat <02251> off from the channel

<07641> of the river <05104> unto the stream <05158> of Egypt

<04714>, and ye shall be gathered <03950> one <0259> by one

<0259>, O ye children <01121> of Israel <03478>.

13 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day <03117>,

[that] the great <01419> trumpet <07782> shall be blown <08628>,

and they shall come <0935> which were ready to perish <06> in

the land <0776> of Assyria <0804>, and the outcasts <05080> in

the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and shall worship <07812> the

LORD <03068> in the holy <06944> mount <02022> at Jerusalem

<03389>.

Isaiah 28

1. Woe <01945> to the crown <05850> of pride <01348>, to the

drunkards <07910> of Ephraim <0669>, whose glorious <06643>

beauty <08597> [is] a fading <05034> flower <06731>, which

<0834> [are] on the head <07218> of the fat <08081> valleys

<01516> of them that are overcome <01986> with wine <03196>!

2 Behold <02009>, the Lord <0136> hath a mighty <02389> and

strong <0533> one, [which] as a tempest <02230> of hail <01259>

[and] a destroying <06986> storm <08178>, as a flood <02230> of

mighty <03524> waters <04325> overflowing <07857>, shall cast

<03240> down to the earth <0776> with the hand <03027>.

3 The crown <05850> of pride <01348>, the drunkards <07910> of

Ephraim <0669>, shall be trodden <07429> under feet <07272>:

4 And the glorious <06643> beauty <08597>, which <0834> [is] on

<05921> the head <07218> of the fat <08081> valley <01516>,

shall be a fading <05034> flower <06733>, [and] as the hasty

<01061> fruit <01061> before <02962> the summer <07019>; which

<0834> [when] he that looketh <07200> upon it seeth <07200>,

while it is yet <05750> in his hand <03709> he eateth <01104> it

up.

5 In that day <03117> shall the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>

be for a crown <05850> of glory <06643>, and for a diadem

<06843> of beauty <08597>, unto the residue <07605> of his

people <05971>,

6 And for a spirit <07307> of judgment <04941> to him that

sitteth <03427> in judgment <04941>, and for strength <01369> to

them that turn <07725> the battle <04421> to the gate <08179>.

7 But they also <01571> have erred <07686> through wine <03196>,

and through strong drink <07941> are out of the way <08582>;

the priest <03548> and the prophet <05030> have erred <07686>

through strong drink <07941>, they are swallowed <01104> up of

wine <03196>, they are out of the way <08582> through <04480>

strong drink <07941>; they err <07686> in vision <07203>, they

stumble <06328> [in] judgment <06417>.

8 For all <03605> tables <07979> are full <04390> of vomit

<06892> [and] filthiness <06675>, [so that there is] no <01097>

place <04725> [clean].

9. Whom shall he teach <03384> knowledge <01844>? and whom

shall he make to understand <0995> doctrine <08052>? [them that

are] weaned <01580> from the milk <02461>, [and] drawn <06267>

from the breasts <07699>.

10 For precept <06673> [must be] upon precept <06673>, precept

<06673> upon precept <06673>; line <06957> upon line <06957>,

line <06957> upon line <06957>; here <08033> a little <02191>,

[and] there <08033> a little <02191>:

11 For with stammering <03934> lips <08193> and another <0312>

tongue <03956> will he speak <01696> to this <02088> people

<05971>.

12 To whom he said <0559>, This <02063> [is] the rest <04496>

[wherewith <0834>] ye may cause the weary <05889> to rest

<05117>; and this <02063> [is] the refreshing <04774>: yet they

would <014> not hear <08085>.

13 But the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> was unto them

precept <06673> upon precept <06673>, precept <06673> upon

precept <06673>; line <06957> upon line <06957>, line <06957>

upon line <06957>; here <08033> a little <02191>, [and] there

<08033> a little <02191>; that they might go <03212>, and fall

<03782> backward <0268>, and be broken <07665>, and snared

<03369>, and taken <03920>.

14. Wherefore <03651> hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD

<03068>, ye scornful <03944> men <0582>, that rule <04910> this

<02088> people <05971> which <0834> [is] in Jerusalem <03389>.

15 Because <03588> ye have said <0559>, We have made <03772> a

covenant <01285> with death <04194>, and with hell <07585> are

we at agreement <02374>; when <03588> the overflowing <07857>

scourge <07885> shall pass <05674> through, it shall not come

<0935> unto us: for we have made <07760> lies <03576> our refuge

<04268>, and under falsehood <08267> have we hid <05641>

ourselves:

16 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>, Behold <02005>, I lay in Zion <06726> for a

foundation <03248> a stone <068>, a tried <0976> stone <068>, a

precious <03368> corner <06438> [stone], a sure <03245>

foundation <04143>: he that believeth <0539> shall not make

haste <02363>.

17 Judgment <04941> also will I lay <07760> to the line <06957>,

and righteousness <06666> to the plummet <04949>: and the hail

<01259> shall sweep <03261> away the refuge <04268> of lies

<03576>, and the waters <04325> shall overflow <07857> the

hiding <05643> place.

18 And your covenant <01285> with death <04194> shall be

disannulled <03722>, and your agreement <02380> with hell

<07585> shall not stand <06965>; when <03588> the overflowing

<07857> scourge <07752> shall pass <05674> through, then ye

shall be trodden <04823> down by it.

19 From the time <01767> that it goeth <05674> forth <05674> it

shall take <03947> you: for morning <01242> by morning <01242>

shall it pass <05674> over <05674>, by day <03117> and by night

<03915>: and it shall be a vexation <02113> only <07535> [to]

understand <0995> the report <08052>.

20 For the bed <04702> is shorter <07114> than that [a man

<0376>] can stretch <08311> himself [on it]: and the covering

<04541> narrower <06887> than that he can wrap <03664> himself

[in it].

21 For the LORD <03068> shall rise <06965> up as [in] mount

<02022> Perazim, he shall be wroth <07264> as [in] the valley

<06010> of Gibeon <01391>, that he may do <06213> his work

<04639>, his strange <02114> work <04639>; and bring <05647> to

pass <05674> his act <05556>, his strange <05237> act <05556>.

22 Now <06258> therefore be ye not mockers <03887>, lest

<06435> your bands <04147> be made strong <02388>: for I have

heard <08085> from the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>

a consumption <03617>, even determined <02782> upon the whole

<03605> earth <0776>.

23. Give ye ear <0238>, and hear <08085> my voice <06963>;

hearken <07181>, and hear <08085> my speech <0565>.

24 Doth the plowman <02790> plow <02790> all <03605> day

<03117> to sow <02232>? doth he open <06605> and break <07702>

the clods <07702> of his ground <0127>?

25 When <0518> he hath made plain <07737> the face <06440>

thereof, doth he not cast <06327> abroad <06327> the fitches

<07100>, and scatter <02236> the cummin <03646>, and cast

<07760> in the principal <07795> wheat <02406> and the appointed

<05567> barley <08184> and the rie <03698> in their place

<01367>?

26 For his God <0430> doth instruct <03256> him to discretion

<04941>, [and] doth teach <03384> him.

27 For the fitches <07100> are not threshed <01758> with a

threshing <02742> instrument, neither <01077> is a cart <05699>

wheel <0212> turned <05437> about upon the cummin <03646>; but

the fitches <07100> are beaten <02251> out with a staff <04294>,

and the cummin <03646> with a rod <07626>.

28 Bread <03899> [corn] is bruised <01854>; because <03588> he

will not ever <05331> be threshing <01758> it, nor break <02000>

[it with] the wheel <01536> of his cart <05699>, nor <03808>

bruise <01854> it [with] his horsemen <06571>.

29 This <02088> also <01571> cometh <03318> forth <03318> from

the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, [which] is wonderful <06381>

in counsel <06098>, [and] excellent <01431> in working <08454>.

Isaiah 29

1. Woe <01945> to Ariel <0740>, to Ariel <0740>, the city

<07151> [where] David <01732> dwelt <02583>! add <05595> ye year

<08141> to year <08141>; let them kill <05362> sacrifices

<02282>.

2 Yet I will distress <06693> Ariel <0740>, and there shall be

heaviness <08386> and sorrow <0592>: and it shall be unto me as

Ariel <0740>.

3 And I will camp <02583> against <05921> thee round <01754>

about, and will lay siege <06696> against <05921> thee with a

mount <04674>, and I will raise <06965> forts <04694> against

<05921> thee.

4 And thou shalt be brought <08213> down <08213>, [and] shalt

speak <01696> out of the ground <0776>, and thy speech <0565>

shall be low <07817> out of the dust <06083>, and thy voice

<06963> shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit <0178>,

out of the ground <0776>, and thy speech <0565> shall whisper

<06850> out of the dust <06083>.

5 Moreover the multitude <01995> of thy strangers <02114> shall

be like small <01851> dust <080>, and the multitude <01995> of

the terrible <06184> ones [shall be] as chaff <04671> that

passeth <05674> away: yea, it shall be at an instant <06621>

suddenly <06597>.

6 Thou shalt be visited <06485> of the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635> with thunder <07482>, and with earthquake <07494>, and

great <01419> noise <06963>, with storm <05492> and tempest

<05591>, and the flame <03851> of devouring <0398> fire <0784>.

7 And the multitude <01995> of all <03605> the nations <01471>

that fight <06633> against <05921> Ariel <0740>, even all

<03605> that fight <06633> against her and her munition <04685>,

and that distress <06693> her, shall be as a dream <02472> of a

night <03915> vision <02377>.

8 It shall even be as when <0834> an hungry <07456> [man]

dreameth <02492>, and, behold <02009>, he eateth <0398>; but he

awaketh <06974>, and his soul <05315> is empty <07385>: or as

when <0834> a thirsty <06771> man dreameth <02492>, and, behold

<02009>, he drinketh <08354>; but he awaketh <06974>, and,

behold <02009>, [he is] faint <05889>, and his soul <05315> hath

appetite <08264>: so shall the multitude <01995> of all <03605>

the nations <01471> be, that fight <06633> against <05921> mount

<02022> Zion <06726>.

9. Stay <04102> yourselves, and wonder <08539>; cry <08173> ye

out, and cry <08173>: they are drunken <07937>, but not with

wine <03196>; they stagger <05128>, but not with strong drink

<07941>.

10 For the LORD <03068> hath poured <05258> out upon you the

spirit <07307> of deep <08639> sleep <08639>, and hath closed

<06105> your eyes <05869>: the prophets <05030> and your rulers

<07218>, the seers <02374> hath he covered <03680>.

11 And the vision <02380> of all <03605> is become <01961> unto

you as the words <01697> of a book <05612> that is sealed

<02856>, which <0834> [men] deliver <05414> to one that is

learned, saying <0559>, Read <07121> this <02088>, I pray

<04994> thee: and he saith <0559>, I cannot; for it [is] sealed

<02856>:

12 And the book <05612> is delivered <05414> to him that is not

learned, saying <0559>, Read <07121> this <02088>, I pray

<04994> thee: and he saith <0559>, I am not learned.

13 Wherefore the Lord <0136> said <0559>, Forasmuch as this

people <05971> draw near <05066> [me] with their mouth <06310>,

and with their lips <08193> do honour <03513> me, but have

removed <07368> their heart <03820> far <07368> from me, and

their fear <03374> toward <0854> me is taught <03925> by the

precept <04687> of men <0582>:

14 Therefore <03651>, behold <02005>, I will proceed <03254> to

do a marvellous <06381> work <06381> among this <02088> people

<05971>, [even] a marvellous <06381> work <06381> and a wonder

<06382>: for the wisdom <02451> of their wise <02450> [men]

shall perish <06>, and the understanding <0998> of their prudent

<0995> [men] shall be hid <05641>.

15 Woe <01945> unto them that seek deep <06009> to hide <05641>

their counsel <06098> from the LORD <03068>, and their works

<04639> are in the dark <04285>, and they say <0559>, Who

<04310> seeth <07200> us? and who <04310> knoweth <03045> us?

16 Surely <0518> your turning <02017> of things upside down

shall be esteemed <02803> as the potter's <03335> clay <02563>:

for shall the work <04639> say <0559> of him that made <06213>

it, He made <06213> me not? or shall the thing framed <03336>

say <0559> of him that framed <03335> it, He had no <03808>

understanding <0995>?

17. [Is] it not yet <05750> a very <04213> little <04592> while,

and Lebanon <03844> shall be turned <07725> into a fruitful

<03759> field, and the fruitful <03759> field shall be esteemed

<02803> as a forest <03293>?

18 And in that day <03117> shall the deaf <02795> hear <08085>

the words <01697> of the book <05612>, and the eyes <05869> of

the blind <05787> shall see <07200> out of obscurity <0652>, and

out of darkness <02822>.

19 The meek <06035> also shall increase <03254> [their] joy

<08057> in the LORD <03068>, and the poor <034> among men <0120>

shall rejoice <01523> in the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>.

20 For the terrible <06184> one is brought <0656> to nought

<0656>, and the scorner <03887> is consumed <03615>, and all

<03605> that watch <08245> for iniquity <0205> are cut <03772>

off:

21 That make a man <0120> an offender <02398> for a word

<01697>, and lay a snare <06983> for him that reproveth <03198>

in the gate <08179>, and turn <05186> aside <05186> the just

<06662> for a thing of nought <08414>.

22 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>,

who <0834> redeemed <06299> Abraham <085>, concerning <0413>

the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, Jacob <03290> shall not now

<06258> be ashamed <0954>, neither <03808> shall his face

<06440> now <06258> wax pale <02357>.

23 But when <03588> he seeth <07200> his children <03206>, the

work <04639> of mine hands <03027>, in the midst <07130> of him,

they shall sanctify <06942> my name <08034>, and sanctify

<06942> the Holy <06918> One of Jacob <03290>, and shall fear

<06206> the God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

24 They also that erred <08582> in spirit <07307> shall come

<03045> to understanding <0998>, and they that murmured <07279>

shall learn <03925> doctrine <03948>.

Isaiah 30

1. Woe <01945> to the rebellious <05637> children <01121>,

saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, that take <06213> counsel

<06098>, but not of me; and that cover <05258> with a covering

<04541>, but not of my spirit <07307>, that they may add <05595>

sin <02403> to sin <02403>:

2 That walk <01980> to go <03381> down <03381> into Egypt

<04714>, and have not asked <07592> at my mouth <06310>; to

strengthen <05810> themselves in the strength <04581> of Pharaoh

<06547>, and to trust <02620> in the shadow <06738> of Egypt

<04714>!

3 Therefore shall the strength <04581> of Pharaoh <06547> be

your shame <01322>, and the trust <02622> in the shadow <06738>

of Egypt <04714> [your] confusion <03639>.

4 For his princes <08269> were at Zoan <06814>, and his

ambassadors <04397> came <05060> to Hanes <02609>.

5 They were all <03605> ashamed <0954> of a people <05971>

[that] could not profit <03276> them, nor <03808> be an help

<05828> nor <03808> profit <03276>, but a shame <01322>, and

also <01571> a reproach <02781>.

6 The burden <04853> of the beasts <0929> of the south <05045>:

into the land <0776> of trouble <06869> and anguish <06695>,

from whence <01992> [come] the young <03833> and old <03918>

lion <03918>, the viper <0660> and fiery <08314> flying <05774>

serpent <08314>, they will carry <05375> their riches <02428>

upon the shoulders <03802> of young asses <05895>, and their

treasures <0214> upon the bunches <01707> of camels <01581>, to

a people <05971> [that] shall not profit <03276> [them].

7 For the Egyptians <04714> shall help <05826> in vain <01892>,

and to no <07385> purpose <07385>: therefore <03651> have I

cried <07121> concerning this <02063>, Their strength <07293>

[is] to sit <07674> still <07673>.

8. Now <06258> go <0935>, write <03789> it before <0854> them

in a table <03871>, and note <02710> it in a book <05612>, that

it may be for the time <03117> to come <0314> for ever <05703>

and ever <05769>:

9 That this <01931> [is] a rebellious <04805> people <05971>,

lying <03586> children <01121>, children <01121> [that] will

<014> not hear <08085> the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>:

10 Which <0834> say <0559> to the seers <07200>, See <07200>

not; and to the prophets <02374>, Prophesy <02372> not unto us

right <05229> things, speak <01696> unto us smooth <02513>

things, prophesy <02372> deceits <04123>:

11 Get you out of the way <01870>, turn <05186> aside <05186>

out of the path <0734>, cause the Holy <06918> One of Israel

<03478> to cease <07673> from before <06440> us.

12 Wherefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Holy <06918>

One of Israel <03478>, Because <03282> ye despise <03988> this

<02088> word <01697>, and trust <0982> in oppression <06233> and

perverseness <03868>, and stay <08172> thereon <05921>:

13 Therefore <03651> this <02088> iniquity <05771> shall be to

you as a breach <06556> ready to fall <05307>, swelling <01158>

out in a high <07682> wall <02346>, whose <0834> breaking

<07667> cometh <0935> suddenly <06597> at an instant <06621>.

14 And he shall break <07665> it as the breaking <07667> of the

potters <03335>' vessel <05035> that is broken <03807> in pieces;

he shall not spare <02550>: so that there shall not be found

<04672> in the bursting <04386> of it a sherd <02789> to take

<02846> fire <0784> from the hearth <03344>, or to take <02834>

water <04325> [withal] out of the pit <01360>.

15 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>,

the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>; In returning <07729> and

rest <05183> shall ye be saved <03467>; in quietness <08252> and

in confidence <0985> shall be your strength <01369>: and ye

would <014> not.

16 But ye said <0559>, No <03808>; for we will flee <05127>

upon horses <05483>; therefore shall ye flee <05127>: and, We

will ride <07392> upon the swift <07031>; therefore shall they

that pursue <07291> you be swift <07043>.

17 One <0259> thousand <0505> [shall flee] at <06440> the

rebuke <01606> of one <0259>; at <06440> the rebuke <01606> of

five <02568> shall ye flee <05127>: till ye be left <03498> as a

beacon <08650> upon the top <07218> of a mountain <02022>, and

as an ensign <05251> on <05921> an hill <01389>.

18. And therefore <03651> will the LORD <03068> wait <02442>,

that he may be gracious <02603> unto you, and therefore <03651>

will he be exalted <07311>, that he may have mercy <07355> upon

you: for the LORD <03068> [is] a God <0430> of judgment <04941>:

blessed <0835> [are] all <03605> they that wait <02442> for him.

19 For the people <05971> shall dwell <03427> in Zion <06726>

at Jerusalem <03389>: thou shalt weep <01058> no <03808> more

<01058>: he will be very gracious <02603> unto thee at the voice

<06963> of thy cry <02201>; when he shall hear <08085> it, he

will answer <06030> thee.

20 And [though] the Lord <0136> give <05414> you the bread

<03899> of adversity <06862>, and the water <04325> of

affliction <03905>, yet shall not thy teachers <03384> be

removed <03670> into a corner <03671> any more <05750>, but

thine eyes <05869> shall see <07200> thy teachers <03384>:

21 And thine ears <0241> shall hear <08085> a word <01697>

behind <0310> thee, saying <0559>, This <02088> [is] the way

<01870>, walk <03212> ye in it, when <03588> ye turn to the

right <0541> hand <03027>, and when <03588> ye turn to the left

<08041>.

22 Ye shall defile <02930> also the covering <06826> of thy

graven <06456> images of silver <03701>, and the ornament <0642>

of thy molten <04541> images of gold <02091>: thou shalt cast

<02219> them away <02219> as a menstruous <01739> cloth; thou

shalt say <0559> unto it, Get <03318> thee hence <03318>.

23 Then shall he give <05414> the rain <04306> of thy seed

<02233>, that thou shalt sow <02232> the ground <0127> withal;

and bread <03899> of the increase <08393> of the earth <0127>,

and it shall be fat <01879> and plenteous <08082>: in that day

<03117> shall thy cattle <04735> feed <07462> in large <07337>

pastures <03733>.

24 The oxen <0504> likewise and the young asses <05895> that

ear <05647> the ground <0127> shall eat <0398> clean <02548>

provender <01098>, which <0834> hath been winnowed <02219> with

the shovel <07371> and with the fan <04214>.

25 And there shall be upon every <03605> high <01364> mountain

<02022>, and upon every <03605> high <04791> hill <01389>,

rivers <06388> [and] streams <02988> of waters <04325> in the

day <03117> of the great <07227> slaughter <02027>, when the

towers <04026> fall <05307>.

26 Moreover the light <0216> of the moon <03842> shall be as

the light <0216> of the sun <02535>, and the light <0216> of the

sun <08121> shall be sevenfold <07659>, as the light <0216> of

seven <07651> days <03117>, in the day <03117> that the LORD

<03068> bindeth <02280> up the breach <07667> of his people

<05971>, and healeth <07495> the stroke <04273> of their wound

<04347>.

27. Behold <02009>, the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> cometh

<0935> from far <04801>, burning <01197> [with] his anger <0639>,

and the burden <04858> [thereof is] heavy <03514>: his lips

<08193> are full <04390> of indignation <02195>, and his tongue

<03956> as a devouring <0398> fire <0784>:

28 And his breath <07307>, as an overflowing <07857> stream

<05158>, shall reach <05060> to the midst <02673> of the neck

<06677>, to sift <05130> the nations <01471> with the sieve

<05299> of vanity <07723>: and [there shall be] a bridle <07448>

in the jaws <03895> of the people <05971>, causing [them] to err

<08582>.

29 Ye shall have <01961> a song <07892>, as in the night

<03915> [when] a holy <06942> solemnity <02282> is kept <06942>;

and gladness <08057> of heart <03824>, as when one goeth <01980>

with a pipe <02485> to come <0935> into the mountain <02022> of

the LORD <03068>, to the mighty <06697> One of Israel <03478>.

30 And the LORD <03068> shall cause his glorious <01935> voice

<06963> to be heard <08085>, and shall shew <07200> the lighting

<05183> down <05183> of his arm <02220>, with the indignation

<02197> of [his] anger <0639>, and [with] the flame <03851> of a

devouring <0398> fire <0784>, [with] scattering <05311>, and

tempest <02230>, and hailstones.

31 For through the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> shall the

Assyrian <0804> be beaten <02865> down, [which] smote <05221>

with a rod <07626>.

32 And [in] every <03605> place where the grounded <04145>

staff <04294> shall pass <04569>, which <0834> the LORD <03068>

shall lay <05117> upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets <08596>

and harps <03658>: and in battles <04421> of shaking <08573>

will he fight <03898> with it.

33 For Tophet <08613> [is] ordained <06186> of old <0865>; yea

<01571>, for the king <04428> it is prepared <03559>; he hath

made [it] deep <06009> [and] large <07337>: the pile <04071>

thereof [is] fire <0784> and much <07235> wood <06086>; the

breath <05397> of the LORD <03068>, like a stream <05158> of

brimstone <01614>, doth kindle <01197> it.

Isaiah 31

1. Woe <01945> to them that go <03381> down <03381> to Egypt

<04714> for help <05833>; and stay <08172> on <05921> horses

<05483>, and trust <0982> in chariots <07393>, because <03588>

[they are] many <07227>; and in horsemen <06571>, because

<03588> they are very <03966> strong <06105>; but they look

<08159> not unto the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>, neither

<03808> seek <01875> the LORD <03068>!

2 Yet he also <01571> [is] wise <02450>, and will bring <0935>

evil <07451>, and will not call <05493> back <05493> his words

<01697>: but will arise <06965> against <05921> the house

<01004> of the evildoers <07489>, and against <05921> the help

<05833> of them that work <06213> iniquity <0205>.

3 Now the Egyptians <04714> [are] men <0120>, and not God

<0410>; and their horses <05483> flesh <01320>, and not spirit

<07307>. When the LORD <03068> shall stretch <05186> out his

hand <03027>, both <08147> he that helpeth <05826> shall fall

<03782>, and he that is holpen <05826> shall fall <05307> down,

and they all <03605> shall fail <03615> together <03162>.

4 For thus <03541> hath the LORD <03068> spoken <0559> unto me,

Like as the lion <0738> and the young <03715> lion <03715>

roaring <01897> on <05921> his prey <02964>, when <0834> a

multitude <04393> of shepherds <07462> is called <07121> forth

against <05921> him, [he] will not be afraid <02865> of their

voice <06963>, nor <03808> abase <06031> himself for the noise

<01995> of them: so <03651> shall the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635> come <03381> down <03381> to fight <06633> for mount

<02022> Zion <06726>, and for the hill <01389> thereof.

5 As birds <06833> flying <05774>, so will the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> defend <01598> Jerusalem <03389>; defending

<01598> also he will deliver <05337> [it; and] passing <05674>

over he will preserve <04422> it.

6. Turn <07725> ye unto [him from] whom <0834> the children

<01121> of Israel <03478> have deeply <06009> revolted <05627>.

7 For in that day <03117> every man <0376> shall cast <03988>

away <03988> his idols <0457> of silver <03701>, and his idols

<0457> of gold <02091>, which <0834> your own hands <03027> have

made <06213> unto you [for] a sin <02399>.

8 Then shall the Assyrian <0804> fall <05307> with the sword

<02719>, not of a mighty <0376> man <0376>; and the sword

<02719>, not of a mean <0120> man <0120>, shall devour <0398>

him: but he shall flee <05127> from the sword <02719>, and his

young <0970> men shall be discomfited <04522>.

9 And he shall pass <05674> over <05674> to his strong <05553>

hold <05553> for fear <04032>, and his princes <08269> shall be

afraid <02865> of the ensign <05251>, saith <05002> the LORD

<03068>, whose <0834> fire <0217> [is] in Zion <06726>, and his

furnace <08574> in Jerusalem <03389>.

Isaiah 32

1. Behold <02005>, a king <04428> shall reign <04427> in

righteousness <06664>, and princes <08269> shall rule <08323> in

judgment <04941>.

2 And a man <0376> shall be as an hiding <04224> place from the

wind <07307>, and a covert <05643> from the tempest <02230>; as

rivers <06388> of water <04325> in a dry <06724> place, as the

shadow <06738> of a great <03515> rock <05553> in a weary

<05889> land <0776>.

3 And the eyes <05869> of them that see <07200> shall not be

dim <08159>, and the ears <0241> of them that hear <08085> shall

hearken <07181>.

4 The heart <03824> also of the rash <04116> shall understand

<0995> knowledge <01847>, and the tongue <03956> of the

stammerers <05926> shall be ready <04116> to speak <01696>

plainly <06703>.

5 The vile <05036> person shall be no <03808> more <05750>

called <07121> liberal <05081>, nor <03808> the churl <03596>

said <0559> [to be] bountiful <07771>.

6 For the vile <05036> person will speak <01696> villany

<05039>, and his heart <03820> will work <06213> iniquity <0205>,

to practise <06213> hypocrisy <02612>, and to utter <01696>

error <08432> against <0413> the LORD <03068>, to make empty

<07324> the soul <05315> of the hungry <07456>, and he will

cause the drink <04945> of the thirsty <06771> to fail <02637>.

7 The instruments <03627> also of the churl <03596> [are] evil

<07451>: he deviseth <03289> wicked <02154> devices <02154> to

destroy <02254> the poor with lying <08267> words <0561>, even

when the needy <034> speaketh <01696> right <04941>.

8 But the liberal <05081> deviseth <03289> liberal <05081>

things; and by liberal <05081> things shall he stand <06965>.

9. Rise <06965> up, ye women <0802> that are at ease <07600>;

hear <08085> my voice <06963>, ye careless <0982> daughters

<01121>; give ear <0238> unto my speech <0565>.

10 Many days <03117> and years <08141> shall ye be troubled

<07264>, ye careless <0982> women: for the vintage <01210> shall

fail <03615>, the gathering <0625> shall not come <0935>.

11 Tremble <02729>, ye women that are at ease <07600>; be

troubled <07264>, ye careless <0982> ones: strip <06584> you,

and make you bare <06209>, and gird <02290> [sackcloth] upon

[your] loins <02504>.

12 They shall lament <05594> for the teats <07699>, for the

pleasant <02531> fields <07704>, for the fruitful <06509> vine

<01612>.

13 Upon the land <0127> of my people <05971> shall come <05927>

up thorns <06975> [and] briers <08068>; yea <03588>, upon all

<03605> the houses <01004> of joy <04885> [in] the joyous

<05947> city <07151>:

14 Because <03588> the palaces <0759> shall be forsaken <05203>;

the multitude <01995> of the city <05892> shall be left <05800>;

the forts <06076> and towers <0975> shall be for dens <04631>

for ever <05769>, a joy <04885> of wild <06501> asses <06501>, a

pasture <04829> of flocks <05739>;

15 Until <05704> the spirit <07307> be poured <06168> upon us

from on high <04791>, and the wilderness <04057> be a fruitful

<03759> field, and the fruitful <03759> field be counted <02803>

for a forest <03293>.

16 Then judgment <04941> shall dwell <07931> in the wilderness

<04057>, and righteousness <06666> remain <03427> in the

fruitful <03759> field.

17 And the work <04639> of righteousness <06666> shall be peace

<07965>; and the effect <05656> of righteousness <06666>

quietness <08252> and assurance <0983> for ever <05769>.

18 And my people <05971> shall dwell <03427> in a peaceable

<07965> habitation <05116>, and in sure <04009> dwellings

<04908>, and in quiet <07600> resting <04496> places;

19 When it shall hail <01258>, coming <03381> down <03381> on

the forest <03293>; and the city <05892> shall be low <08213> in

a low <08219> place.

20 Blessed <0835> [are] ye that sow <02232> beside <05921> all

<03605> waters <04325>, that send <07971> forth [thither] the

feet <07272> of the ox <07794> and the ass <02543>.

Isaiah 33

1. Woe <01945> to thee that spoilest <07703>, and thou [wast]

not spoiled <07703>; and dealest treacherously <0898>, and they

dealt not treacherously <0898> with thee! when thou shalt cease

<08552> to spoil <07703>, thou shalt be spoiled <07703>; [and]

when thou shalt make an end <05239> to deal treacherously <0898>,

they shall deal treacherously <0898> with thee.

2 O LORD <03068>, be gracious <02603> unto us; we have waited

<06960> for thee: be thou their arm <02220> every morning

<01242>, our salvation <03444> also <0637> in the time <06256>

of trouble <06869>.

3 At the noise <06963> of the tumult <01995> the people <05971>

fled <05074>; at the lifting <07427> up of thyself the nations

<01471> were scattered <05310>.

4 And your spoil <07998> shall be gathered <0622> [like] the

gathering <0625> of the caterpiller <02625>: as the running

<04944> to and fro of locusts <01357> shall he run <08264> upon

them.

5 The LORD <03068> is exalted <07682>; for he dwelleth <07931>

on high <04791>: he hath filled <04390> Zion <06726> with

judgment <04941> and righteousness <06666>.

6 And wisdom <02451> and knowledge <01847> shall be the

stability <0530> of thy times <06256>, [and] strength <02633> of

salvation <03444>: the fear <03374> of the LORD <03068> [is] his

treasure <0214>.

7 Behold <02005>, their valiant <0691> ones shall cry <06817>

without <02351>: the ambassadors <04397> of peace <07965> shall

weep <01058> bitterly <04751>.

8 The highways <04546> lie waste <08074>, the wayfaring man

ceaseth <07673>: he hath broken <06565> the covenant <01285>, he

hath despised <03988> the cities <05892>, he regardeth <02803>

no <03808> man <0582>.

9 The earth <0776> mourneth <056> [and] languisheth <0535>:

Lebanon <03844> is ashamed <02659> [and] hewn <07060> down:

Sharon <08289> is like a wilderness <06160>; and Bashan <01316>

and Carmel <03760> shake <05287> off [their fruits].

10 Now <06258> will I rise <06965>, saith <0559> the LORD

<03068>; now <06258> will I be exalted <07311>; now <06258> will

I lift <05375> up myself.

11 Ye shall conceive <02029> chaff <02842>, ye shall bring

<03205> forth <03205> stubble <07179>: your breath <07307>, [as]

fire <0784>, shall devour <0398> you.

12 And the people <05971> shall be [as] the burnings <04955> of

lime <07875>: [as] thorns <06975> cut <03683> up shall they be

burned <03341> in the fire <0784>.

13. Hear <08085>, ye [that are] far <07350> off, what <0834> I

have done <06213>; and, ye [that are] near <07138>, acknowledge

<03045> my might <01369>.

14 The sinners <02400> in Zion <06726> are afraid <06342>;

fearfulness <07461> hath surprised <0270> the hypocrites. Who

<04310> among us shall dwell <01481> with the devouring <0398>

fire <0784>? who <04310> among us shall dwell <01481> with

everlasting <05769> burnings <04168>?

15 He that walketh <01980> righteously <06666>, and speaketh

<01696> uprightly <04339>; he that despiseth <03988> the gain

<01214> of oppressions <04642>, that shaketh <05287> his hands

<03709> from holding <08551> of bribes <07810>, that stoppeth

<0331> his ears <0241> from hearing <08085> of blood <01818>,

and shutteth <06105> his eyes <05869> from seeing <07200> evil

<07451>;

16 He shall dwell <07931> on high <04791>: his place of defence

<04869> [shall be] the munitions <04679> of rocks <05553>: bread

<03899> shall be given <05414> him; his waters <04325> [shall

be] sure <0539>.

17 Thine eyes <05869> shall see <02372> the king <04428> in his

beauty <03308>: they shall behold <07200> the land <0776> that

is very <04801> far <04801> off.

18 Thine heart <03820> shall meditate <01897> terror <0367>.

Where <0346> [is] the scribe <05608>? where <0346> [is] the

receiver <08254>? where <0346> [is] he that counted <05608> the

towers <04026>?

19 Thou shalt not see <07200> a fierce <03267> people <05971>,

a people <05971> of a deeper <06012> speech <08193> than thou

canst perceive <08085>; of a stammering <03932> tongue <03956>,

[that thou canst] not understand <0998>.

20 Look <02372> upon Zion <06726>, the city <07151> of our

solemnities <04150>: thine eyes <05869> shall see <07200>

Jerusalem <03389> a quiet <07600> habitation <05116>, a

tabernacle <0168> [that] shall not be taken <06813> down; not

one of the stakes <03489> thereof shall ever <05331> be removed

<05265>, neither <01077> shall any <03605> of the cords <02256>

thereof be broken <05423>.

21 But there <08033> the glorious <0117> LORD <03068> [will be]

unto us a place <04725> of broad rivers <05103> [and] streams

<02975>; wherein shall go <03212> no <01077> galley <0590> with

oars <07885>, neither <03808> shall gallant <0117> ship <06716>

pass <05674> thereby.

22 For the LORD <03068> [is] our judge <08199>, the LORD

<03068> [is] our lawgiver <02710>, the LORD <03068> [is] our

king <04428>; he will save <03467> us.

23 Thy tacklings <02256> are loosed <05203>; they could not

well <03651> strengthen <02388> their mast <08650>, they could

not spread <06566> the sail <05251>: then <0227> is the prey

<05706> of a great <04766> spoil <07998> divided <02505>; the

lame <06455> take <0962> the prey <0957>.

24 And the inhabitant <07934> shall not say <0559>, I am sick

<02470>: the people <05971> that dwell <03427> therein [shall

be] forgiven <05375> [their] iniquity <05771>.

Isaiah 34

1. Come <07126> near <07126>, ye nations <01471>, to hear

<08085>; and hearken <07181>, ye people <03816>: let the earth

<0776> hear <08085>, and all <04393> that is therein <04393>;

the world <08398>, and all <03605> things that come <06631>

forth <06631> of it.

2 For the indignation <07110> of the LORD <03068> [is] upon all

<03605> nations <01471>, and [his] fury <02534> upon all <03605>

their armies <06635>: he hath utterly destroyed <02763> them, he

hath delivered <05414> them to the slaughter <02875>.

3 Their slain <02491> also shall be cast <07993> out, and their

stink <0889> shall come <05927> up out of their carcases <06297>,

and the mountains <02022> shall be melted <04549> with their

blood <01818>.

4 And all <03605> the host <06635> of heaven <08064> shall be

dissolved <04743>, and the heavens <08064> shall be rolled

<01556> together as a scroll <05612>: and all <03605> their host

<06635> shall fall <05034> down, as the leaf <05929> falleth

<05034> off from the vine <01612>, and as a falling <05034> [fig

<08384>] from the fig <08384> tree.

5 For my sword <02719> shall be bathed <07301> in heaven

<08064>: behold <02009>, it shall come <03381> down <03381> upon

Idumea <0123>, and upon the people <05971> of my curse <02764>,

to judgment <04941>.

6 The sword <02719> of the LORD <03068> is filled <04390> with

blood <01818>, it is made fat <01878> with fatness <02459>,

[and] with the blood <01818> of lambs <03733> and goats <06260>,

with the fat <02459> of the kidneys <03629> of rams <0352>: for

the LORD <03068> hath a sacrifice <02077> in Bozrah <01224>, and

a great <01419> slaughter <02875> in the land <0776> of Idumea

<0123>.

7 And the unicorns <07214> shall come <03381> down <03381> with

them, and the bullocks <06499> with the bulls <047>; and their

land <0776> shall be soaked <07301> with blood <01818>, and

their dust <06083> made fat <01878> with fatness <02459>.

8 For [it is] the day <03117> of the LORD'S <03068> vengeance

<05359>, [and] the year <08141> of recompences <07966> for the

controversy <07379> of Zion <06726>.

9. And the streams <05158> thereof shall be turned <02015> into

pitch <02203>, and the dust <06083> thereof into brimstone

<01614>, and the land <0776> thereof shall become <01961>

burning <01197> pitch <02203>.

10 It shall not be quenched <03518> night <03915> nor day

<03119>; the smoke <06227> thereof shall go <05927> up for ever

<05769>: from generation <01755> to generation <01755> it shall

lie waste <02717>; none <0369> shall pass <05674> through it for

ever <05331> and ever <05769>.

11 But the cormorant <06893> and the bittern <07090> shall

possess <03423> it; the owl <03244> also and the raven <06158>

shall dwell <07931> in it: and he shall stretch <05186> out upon

it the line <06957> of confusion <05414>, and the stones <068>

of emptiness <0922>.

12 They shall call <07121> the nobles <02715> thereof to the

kingdom <04410>, but none <0369> [shall be] there <08033>, and

all <03605> her princes <08269> shall be nothing <0657>.

13 And thorns <05518> shall come <05927> up in her palaces

<0759>, nettles <07057> and brambles <02336> in the fortresses

<04013> thereof: and it shall be an habitation <05116> of

dragons <08577>, [and] a court <02691> for owls.

14 The wild <06728> beasts <06728> of the desert <06728> shall

also meet <06298> with the wild <0338> beasts <0338> of the

island <0338>, and the satyr <08163> shall cry <07121> to his

fellow <07453>; the screech <03917> owl <03917> also <0389>

shall rest <07280> there <08033>, and find <04672> for herself a

place of rest <04494>.

15 There <08033> shall the great <07091> owl <07091> make her

nest <07077>, and lay <04422>, and hatch <01234>, and gather

<01716> under her shadow <06738>: there <08033> shall the

vultures <01772> also <0389> be gathered <06908>, every <0802>

one with her mate <07468>.

16 Seek <01875> ye out of the book <05612> of the LORD <03068>,

and read <07121>: no <03808> one <0259> of these <02007> shall

fail <05737>, none shall want <06485> her mate <07468>: for my

mouth <06310> it hath commanded <06680>, and his spirit <07307>

it hath gathered <06908> them.

17 And he hath cast <05307> the lot <01486> for them, and his

hand <03027> hath divided <02505> it unto them by line <06957>:

they shall possess <03423> it for ever <05769>, from generation

<01755> to generation <01755> shall they dwell <07931> therein.

Isaiah 35

1. The wilderness <04057> and the solitary <06723> place shall

be glad <07996> for them; and the desert <06160> shall rejoice

<01523>, and blossom <06524> as the rose <02261>.

2 It shall blossom <06524> abundantly <06524>, and rejoice

<01523> even <0637> with joy <01525> and singing <07442>: the

glory <03519> of Lebanon <03844> shall be given <05414> unto it,

the excellency <01926> of Carmel <03760> and Sharon <08289>,

they shall see <07200> the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068>,

[and] the excellency <01926> of our God <0430>.

3 Strengthen <02388> ye the weak <07504> hands <03027>, and

confirm <0553> the feeble <03782> knees <01290>.

4 Say <0559> to them [that are] of a fearful <04116> heart

<03820>, Be strong <02388>, fear <03372> not: behold <02009>,

your God <0430> will come <0935> [with] vengeance <05359>,

[even] God <0430> [with] a recompence <01576>; he will come

<0935> and save <03467> you.

5. Then <0227> the eyes <05869> of the blind <05787> shall be

opened <06491>, and the ears <0241> of the deaf <02795> shall be

unstopped <06605>.

6 Then <0227> shall the lame <06455> [man] leap <01801> as an

hart <0354>, and the tongue <03956> of the dumb <0483> sing

<07442>: for in the wilderness <04057> shall waters <04325>

break <01234> out, and streams <05158> in the desert <06160>.

7 And the parched <08273> ground shall become <01961> a pool

<098>, and the thirsty <06774> land springs <04002> of water

<04325>: in the habitation <05116> of dragons <08577>, where

each lay <07258>, [shall be] grass <02682> with reeds <07070>

and rushes <01573>.

8 And an highway <04547> shall be there <08033>, and a way

<01870>, and it shall be called <07121> The way <01870> of

holiness <06944>; the unclean <02931> shall not pass <05674>

over <05674> it; but it [shall be] for those: the wayfaring men

<0582>, though fools <0191>, shall not err <08582> [therein].

9 No <03808> lion <0738> shall be there <08033>, nor <01077>

[any] ravenous <06530> beast <02416> shall go <05927> up thereon,

it shall not be found <04672> there <08033>; but the redeemed

<01350> shall walk <01980> [there]:

10 And the ransomed <06299> of the LORD <03068> shall return

<07725>, and come <0935> to Zion <06726> with songs <07440> and

everlasting <05769> joy <08057> upon their heads <07218>: they

shall obtain <05381> joy <08057> and gladness <08057>, and

sorrow <03015> and sighing <0585> shall flee <05127> away.

Isaiah 36

1. Now it came <01961> to pass in the fourteenth year <08141>

of king <04428> Hezekiah <02396>, [that] Sennacherib <05576>

king <04428> of Assyria <0804> came <05927> up against <05921>

all <03605> the defenced <01219> cities <05892> of Judah <03063>,

and took <08610> them.

2 And the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> sent <07971> Rabshakeh

<07262> from Lachish <03923> to Jerusalem <03389> unto king

<04428> Hezekiah <02396> with a great <03515> army <02426>. And

he stood <05975> by the conduit <08585> of the upper <05945>

pool <01295> in the highway <04546> of the fuller's <03526>

field <07704>.

3 Then came <03318> forth <03318> unto him Eliakim <0471>,

Hilkiah's <02518> son <01121>, which <0834> was over <05921> the

house <01004>, and Shebna <07644> the scribe <05608>, and Joah

<03098>, Asaph's <0623> son <01121>, the recorder <02142>.

4 And Rabshakeh <07262> said <0559> unto them, Say <0559> ye

now <04994> to Hezekiah <02396>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the

great <01419> king <04428>, the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>,

What confidence <0986> [is] this <02088> wherein <0834> thou

trustest <0982>?

5 I say <0559>, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain <08193>

words <01697>) [I have] counsel <06098> and strength <01369> for

war <04421>: now <06258> on <05921> whom <04310> dost thou trust

<0982>, that thou rebellest <04775> against me?

6 Lo <02009>, thou trustest <0982> in the staff <04938> of this

<02088> broken <07533> reed <07070>, on <05921> Egypt <04714>;

whereon if a man <0376> lean <05564>, it will go <0935> into his

hand <03709>, and pierce <05344> it: so <03651> [is] Pharaoh

<06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714> to all <03605> that trust

<0982> in him.

7 But if thou say <0559> to me, We trust <0982> in the LORD

<03068> our God <0430>: [is it] not he, whose high <01111>

places and whose altars <04196> Hezekiah <02396> hath taken

<05493> away <05493>, and said <0559> to Judah <03063> and to

Jerusalem <03389>, Ye shall worship <07812> before <06440> this

<02088> altar <04196>?

8 Now <06258> therefore give pledges <06148>, I pray <04994>

thee, to my master <0113> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>,

and I will give <05414> thee two thousand <0505> horses <05483>,

if <0518> thou be able <03201> on thy part to set <05414> riders

<07392> upon them.

9 How <0349> then wilt thou turn <07725> away the face <06440>

of one <0259> captain <06346> of the least <06996> of my

master's <0113> servants <05650>, and put thy trust <0982> on

<05921> Egypt <04714> for chariots <07393> and for horsemen

<06571>?

10 And am I now <06258> come <05927> up without <01107> the

LORD <03068> against <05921> this <02063> land <0776> to destroy

<07843> it? the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Go <05927> up

against <0413> this <02063> land <0776>, and destroy <07843> it.

11. Then said <0559> Eliakim <0471> and Shebna <07644> and Joah

<03098> unto Rabshakeh <07262>, Speak <01696>, I pray <04994>

thee, unto thy servants <05650> in the Syrian <0762> language;

for we understand <08085> [it]: and speak <01696> not to us in

the Jews <03064>' language, in the ears <0241> of the people

<05971> that [are] on <05921> the wall <02346>.

12 But Rabshakeh <07262> said <0559>, Hath my master <0113>

sent <07971> me to thy master <0113> and to thee to speak

<01696> these <0428> words <01697>? [hath he] not [sent me] to

the men <0582> that sit <03427> upon the wall <02346>, that they

may eat <0398> their own dung, and drink <08354> their own piss

<07890> with you?

13 Then Rabshakeh <07262> stood <05975>, and cried <07121> with

a loud <01419> voice <06963> in the Jews <03064>' language, and

said <0559>, Hear <08085> ye the words <01697> of the great

<01419> king <04428>, the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>.

14 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the king <04428>, Let not Hezekiah

<02396> deceive <05377> you: for he shall not be able <03201> to

deliver <05337> you.

15 Neither <0408> let Hezekiah <02396> make you trust <0982> in

the LORD <03068>, saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> will surely

deliver <05337> us: this <02063> city <05892> shall not be

delivered <05414> into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of

Assyria <0804>.

16 Hearken <08085> not to Hezekiah <02396>: for thus <03541>

saith <0559> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, Make <06213>

[an agreement] with me [by] a present <01293>, and come <03318>

out to me: and eat <0398> ye every <0376> one <0376> of his vine

<01612>, and every <0376> one <0376> of his fig <08384> tree,

and drink <08354> ye every <0376> one <0376> the waters <04325>

of his own cistern <0953>;

17 Until <05704> I come <0935> and take <03947> you away to a

land <0776> like your own land <0776>, a land <0776> of corn

<01715> and wine <08492>, a land <0776> of bread <03899> and

vineyards <03754>.

18 [Beware] lest <06435> Hezekiah <02396> persuade <05496> you,

saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> will deliver <05337> us. Hath

any <0376> of the gods <0430> of the nations <01471> delivered

<05337> his land <0776> out of the hand <03027> of the king

<04428> of Assyria <0804>?

19 Where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Hamath <02574> and

Arphad <0774>? where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Sepharvaim

<05617>? and have they delivered <05337> Samaria <08111> out of

my hand <03027>?

20 Who <04310> [are they] among all <03605> the gods <0430> of

these <0428> lands <0776>, that have delivered <05337> their

land <0776> out of my hand <03027>, that the LORD <03068> should

deliver <05337> Jerusalem <03389> out of my hand <03027>?

21 But they held <02790> their peace <02790>, and answered

<06030> him not a word <01697>: for the king's <04428>

commandment <04687> was, saying <0559>, Answer <06030> him not.

22 Then came <0935> Eliakim <0471>, the son <01121> of Hilkiah

<02518>, that [was] over <05921> the household <01004>, and

Shebna <07644> the scribe <05608>, and Joah <03098>, the son

<01121> of Asaph <0623>, the recorder <02142>, to Hezekiah

<02396> with [their] clothes <0899> rent <07167>, and told

<05046> him the words <01697> of Rabshakeh <07262>.

Isaiah 37

1. And it came <01961> to pass, when king <04428> Hezekiah

<02396> heard <08085> [it], that he rent <07167> his clothes

<0899>, and covered <03680> himself with sackcloth <08242>, and

went <0935> into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2 And he sent <07971> Eliakim <0471>, who <0834> [was] over

<05921> the household <01004>, and Shebna <07644> the scribe

<05608>, and the elders <02205> of the priests <03548> covered

<03680> with sackcloth <08242>, unto Isaiah <03470> the prophet

<05030> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>.

3 And they said <0559> unto him, Thus <03541> saith <0559>

Hezekiah <02396>, This <02088> day <03117> [is] a day <03117> of

trouble <06869>, and of rebuke <08433>, and of blasphemy <05007>:

for the children <01121> are come <0935> to the birth <04866>,

and [there is] not strength <03581> to bring <03205> forth

<03205>.

4 It may be the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> will hear <08085>

the words <01697> of Rabshakeh <07262>, whom <0834> the king

<04428> of Assyria <0804> his master <0113> hath sent <07971> to

reproach <02778> the living <02416> God <0430>, and will reprove

<03198> the words <01697> which <0834> the LORD <03068> thy God

<0430> hath heard <08085>: wherefore lift <05375> up [thy]

prayer <08605> for the remnant <07611> that is left <04672>.

5 So the servants <05650> of king <04428> Hezekiah <02396> came

<0935> to Isaiah <03470>.

6 And Isaiah <03470> said <0559> unto them, Thus <03541> shall

ye say <0559> unto your master <0113>, Thus <03541> saith <0559>

the LORD <03068>, Be not afraid <03372> of the words <01697>

that thou hast heard <08085>, wherewith <0834> the servants

<05288> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> have blasphemed

<01442> me.

7 Behold <02005>, I will send <07971> a blast <07307> upon him,

and he shall hear <08085> a rumour <08052>, and return <07725>

to his own land <0776>; and I will cause him to fall <05307> by

the sword <02719> in his own land <0776>.

8. So Rabshakeh <07262> returned <07725>, and found <04672> the

king <04428> of Assyria <0804> warring <03898> against <05921>

Libnah <03841>: for he had heard <08085> that he was departed

<05265> from Lachish <03923>.

9 And he heard <08085> say <0559> concerning <05921> Tirhakah

<08640> king <04428> of Ethiopia <03568>, He is come <03318>

forth <03318> to make war <03898> with thee. And when he heard

<08085> [it], he sent <07971> messengers <04397> to Hezekiah

<02396>, saying <0559>,

10 Thus <03541> shall ye speak <0559> to Hezekiah <02396> king

<04428> of Judah <03063>, saying <0559>, Let not thy God <0430>,

in whom <0834> thou trustest <0982>, deceive <05377> thee,

saying <0559>, Jerusalem <03389> shall not be given <05414> into

the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>.

11 Behold <02009>, thou hast heard <08085> what <0834> the

kings <04428> of Assyria <0804> have done <06213> to all <03605>

lands <0776> by destroying <02763> them utterly; and shalt thou

be delivered <05337>?

12 Have the gods <0430> of the nations <01471> delivered

<05337> them which <0834> my fathers <01> have destroyed <07843>,

[as] Gozan <01470>, and Haran <02771>, and Rezeph <07530>, and

the children <01121> of Eden <05731> which <0834> [were] in

Telassar <08515>?

13 Where <0346> [is] the king <04428> of Hamath <02574>, and

the king <04428> of Arphad <0774>, and the king <04428> of the

city <05892> of Sepharvaim <05617>, Hena <02012>, and Ivah

<05755>?

14 And Hezekiah <02396> received <03947> the letter <05612>

from the hand <03027> of the messengers <04397>, and read

<07121> it: and Hezekiah <02396> went <05927> up unto the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>, and spread <06566> it before

<06440> the LORD <03068>.

15 And Hezekiah <02396> prayed <06419> unto the LORD <03068>,

saying <0559>,

16 O LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, God <0430> of Israel

<03478>, that dwellest <03427> [between] the cherubims <03742>,

thou [art] the God <0430>, [even] thou alone <0905>, of all

<03605> the kingdoms <04467> of the earth <0776>: thou hast made

<06213> heaven <08064> and earth <0776>.

17 Incline <05186> thine ear <0241>, O LORD <03068>, and hear

<08085>; open <06491> thine eyes <05869>, O LORD <03068>, and

see <07200>: and hear <08085> all <03605> the words <01697> of

Sennacherib <05576>, which <0834> hath sent <07971> to reproach

<02778> the living <02416> God <0430>.

18 Of a truth <0551>, LORD <03068>, the kings <04428> of

Assyria <0804> have laid waste <02717> all <03605> the nations

<0776>, and their countries <0776>,

19 And have cast <05414> their gods <0430> into the fire <0784>:

for they [were] no <03808> gods <0430>, but the work <04639> of

men's <0120> hands <03027>, wood <06086> and stone <068>:

therefore they have destroyed <06> them.

20 Now <06258> therefore, O LORD <03068> our God <0430>, save

<03467> us from his hand <03027>, that all <03605> the kingdoms

<04467> of the earth <0776> may know <03045> that thou [art] the

LORD <03068>, [even] thou only <0905>.

21. Then Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531> sent

<07971> unto Hezekiah <02396>, saying <0559>, Thus <03541> saith

<0559> the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Whereas

<0834> thou hast prayed <06419> to me against <0413> Sennacherib

<05576> king <04428> of Assyria <0804>:

22 This <02088> [is] the word <01697> which <0834> the LORD

<03068> hath spoken <01696> concerning <05921> him; The virgin

<01330>, the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>, hath despised

<0959> thee, [and] laughed <03932> thee to scorn; the daughter

<01323> of Jerusalem <03389> hath shaken <05128> her head

<07218> at thee.

23 Whom hast thou reproached <02778> and blasphemed <01442>?

and against <05921> whom <04310> hast thou exalted <07311> [thy]

voice <06963>, and lifted <05375> up thine eyes <05869> on high

<04796>? [even] against <0413> the Holy <06918> One of Israel

<03478>.

24 By thy servants <05650> hast thou reproached <02778> the

Lord <0136>, and hast said <0559>, By the multitude <07230> of

my chariots <07393> am I come <05927> up to the height <04791>

of the mountains <02022>, to the sides <03411> of Lebanon

<03844>; and I will cut <03772> down the tall <06967> cedars

<0730> thereof, [and] the choice <04005> fir <01265> trees

thereof: and I will enter <0935> into the height <04791> of his

border <07093>, [and] the forest <03293> of his Carmel <03760>.

25 I have digged <05365>, and drunk <08354> water <04325>; and

with the sole <03709> of my feet <06471> have I dried <02717> up

all <03605> the rivers <02975> of the besieged <04693> places.

26 Hast thou not heard <08085> long <05704> ago <07350>, [how]

I have done <06213> it; [and] of ancient <06924> times <03117>,

that I have formed <03335> it? now <06258> have I brought <0935>

it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste <07582> defenced

<01219> cities <05892> [into] ruinous <05327> heaps <01530>.

27 Therefore their inhabitants <03427> [were] of small <07116>

power <03027>, they were dismayed <02865> and confounded <0954>:

they were [as] the grass <06212> of the field <07704>, and [as]

the green <03419> herb <01877>, [as] the grass <02682> on the

housetops <01406>, and [as corn] blasted <07709> before <06440>

it be grown <06965> up.

28 But I know <03045> thy abode <03427>, and thy going <03318>

out, and thy coming <0935> in, and thy rage <07264> against

<0413> me.

29 Because <03282> thy rage <07264> against <0413> me, and thy

tumult <07600>, is come <05927> up into mine ears <0241>,

therefore will I put <07760> my hook <02397> in thy nose <0639>,

and my bridle <04964> in thy lips <08193>, and I will turn

<07725> thee back <07725> by the way <01870> by which <0834>

thou camest <0935>.

30 And this <02088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee, Ye

shall eat <0398> [this] year <08141> such as groweth <05599> of

itself; and the second <08145> year <08141> that which springeth

<07823> of the same: and in the third <07992> year <08141> sow

<02232> ye, and reap <07114>, and plant <05193> vineyards

<03754>, and eat <0398> the fruit <06529> thereof.

31 And the remnant <07604> that is escaped <06413> of the house

<01004> of Judah <03063> shall again take root <08328> downward

<04295>, and bear <06213> fruit <06529> upward <04605>:

32 For out of Jerusalem <03389> shall go <03318> forth <03318>

a remnant <07611>, and they that escape <06413> out of mount

<02022> Zion <06726>: the zeal <07068> of the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635> shall do <06213> this <02063>.

33 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>

concerning <0413> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, He shall

not come <0935> into <0413> this <02063> city <05892>, nor

<03808> shoot an arrow <02671> there <08033>, nor <03808> come

<06923> before <06924> it with shields <04043>, nor <03808> cast

<08210> a bank <05550> against <05921> it.

34 By the way <01870> that he came <0935>, by the same shall he

return <07725>, and shall not come <0935> into <0413> this

<02063> city <05892>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

35 For I will defend <01598> this <02063> city <05892> to save

<03467> it for mine own sake, and for my servant <05650> David's

<01732> sake <04616>.

36 Then the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> went <03318>

forth <03318>, and smote <05221> in the camp <04264> of the

Assyrians <0804> a hundred <03967> and fourscore <08084> and

five <02568> thousand <0505>: and when they arose <02224> early

<07925> in the morning <01242>, behold <02009>, they [were] all

<03605> dead <04191> corpses <06297>.

37 So Sennacherib <05576> king <04428> of Assyria <0804>

departed <05265>, and went <03212> and returned <07725>, and

dwelt <03427> at Nineveh <05210>.

38 And it came <01961> to pass, as he was worshipping <07812>

in the house <01004> of Nisroch <05268> his god <0430>, that

Adrammelech <0152> and Sharezer <08272> his sons <01121> smote

<05221> him with the sword <02719>; and they escaped <04422>

into the land <0776> of Armenia <0780>: and Esarhaddon <0634>

his son <01121> reigned <04427> in his stead <08478>.

Isaiah 38

1. In those <01992> days <03117> was Hezekiah <02396> sick

<02470> unto death <04191>. And Isaiah <03470> the prophet

<05030> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531> came <0935> unto him, and

said <0559> unto him, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>,

Set thine house <01004> in order <06680>: for thou shalt die

<04191>, and not live <02421>.

2 Then Hezekiah <02396> turned <05437> his face <06440> toward

<0413> the wall <07023>, and prayed <06419> unto the LORD

<03068>,

3 And said <0559>, Remember <02142> now <04994>, O LORD <03068>,

I beseech <0577> thee, how <0834> I have walked <01980> before

<06440> thee in truth <0571> and with a perfect <08003> heart

<03820>, and have done <06213> [that which is] good <02896> in

thy sight <05869>. And Hezekiah <02396> wept <01058> sore

<01419>.

4 Then came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> to

Isaiah <03470>, saying <0559>,

5 Go <01980>, and say <0559> to Hezekiah <02396>, Thus <03541>

saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of David <01732>

thy father <01>, I have heard <08085> thy prayer <08605>, I have

seen <07200> thy tears <01832>: behold <02005>, I will add

<03254> unto thy days <03117> fifteen <06240> years <08141>.

6 And I will deliver <05337> thee and this <02063> city <05892>

out of the hand <03709> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>:

and I will defend <01598> this <02063> city <05892>.

7 And this <02088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee from the

LORD <03068>, that the LORD <03068> will do <06213> this <02088>

thing <01697> that he hath spoken <01696>;

8 Behold <02005>, I will bring <07725> again <07725> the shadow

<06738> of the degrees <04609>, which <0834> is gone <03381>

down in the sun <08121> dial <04609> of Ahaz <0271>, ten <06235>

degrees <04609> backward <0322>. So the sun <08121> returned

<07725> ten <06235> degrees <04609>, by which degrees <04609> it

was gone <03381> down.

9. The writing <04385> of Hezekiah <02396> king <04428> of

Judah <03063>, when he had been sick <02470>, and was recovered

<02421> of his sickness <02483>:

10 I said <0559> in the cutting <01824> off of my days <03117>,

I shall go <03212> to the gates <08179> of the grave <07585>: I

am deprived <06485> of the residue <03499> of my years <08141>.

11 I said <0559>, I shall not see <07200> the LORD <03050>,

[even] the LORD <03050>, in the land <0776> of the living

<02416>: I shall behold <07200> man <0120> no <03808> more with

the inhabitants <03427> of the world <02309>.

12 Mine age <01755> is departed <05265>, and is removed <01556>

from me as a shepherd's <07473> tent <0168>: I have cut <07088>

off like a weaver <0707> my life <02416>: he will cut <01214> me

off with pining <01803> sickness: from day <03117> [even] to

night <03915> wilt thou make an end <07999> of me.

13 I reckoned <07737> till <05704> morning <01242>, [that], as

a lion <0738>, so <03651> will he break <07665> all <03605> my

bones <06106>: from day <03117> [even] to night <03915> wilt

thou make an end <07999> of me.

14 Like a crane <05483> [or] a swallow <05693>, so <03651> did

I chatter <06850>: I did mourn <01897> as a dove <03123>: mine

eyes <05869> fail <01809> [with looking] upward <04791>: O LORD

<03068>, I am oppressed <06234>; undertake <06148> for me.

15 What <04100> shall I say <01696>? he hath both spoken <0559>

unto me, and himself <01931> hath done <06213> [it]: I shall go

<01718> softly all <03605> my years <08141> in the bitterness

<04751> of my soul <05315>.

16 O Lord <0136>, by these <05921> [things men] live <02421>,

and in all <03605> these [things is] the life <02416> of my

spirit <07307>: so wilt thou recover <02492> me, and make me to

live <02421>.

17 Behold <02009>, for peace <07965> I had great bitterness

<04843>: but thou hast in love <02836> to my soul <05315>

[delivered it] from the pit <07845> of corruption <01097>: for

thou hast cast <07993> all <03605> my sins <02399> behind <0310>

thy back <01458>.

18 For the grave <07585> cannot <03808> praise <03034> thee,

death <04194> can <03201> [not] celebrate <01984> thee: they

that go <03381> down <03381> into the pit <0953> cannot <03808>

hope <07663> for thy truth <0571>.

19 The living <02416>, the living <02416>, he shall praise

<03034> thee, as I [do] this day <03117>: the father <01> to the

children <01121> shall make known <03045> thy truth <0571>.

20 The LORD <03068> [was ready] to save <03467> me: therefore

we will sing my songs <05058> to the stringed <05058>

instruments all <03605> the days <03117> of our life <02416> in

the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

21 For Isaiah <03470> had said <0559>, Let them take <05375> a

lump <01690> of figs <08384>, and lay [it] for a plaister

<04799> upon the boil <07822>, and he shall recover <02421>.

22 Hezekiah <02396> also had said <0559>, What <04100> [is] the

sign <0226> that I shall go <05927> up to the house <01004> of

the LORD <03068>?

Isaiah 39

1. At that time <06256> Merodachbaladan <04757>, the son

<01121> of Baladan <01081>, king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, sent

<07971> letters <05612> and a present <04503> to Hezekiah

<02396>: for he had heard <08085> that he had been sick <02470>,

and was recovered <02388>.

2 And Hezekiah <02396> was glad <08056> of them, and shewed

<07200> them the house <01004> of his precious <05238> things,

the silver <03701>, and the gold <02091>, and the spices <01314>,

and the precious <02896> ointment <08081>, and all <03605> the

house <01004> of his armour <03627>, and all <03605> that was

found <04672> in his treasures <0214>: there was nothing in his

house <01004>, nor in all <03605> his dominion <04475>, that

Hezekiah <02396> shewed <07200> them not.

3 Then came <0935> Isaiah <03470> the prophet <05030> unto king

<04428> Hezekiah <02396>, and said <0559> unto him, What <04100>

said <0559> these <0428> men <0582>? and from whence <0370> came

<0935> they unto thee? And Hezekiah <02396> said <0559>, They

are come <0935> from a far <07350> country <0776> unto me,

[even] from Babylon <0894>.

4 Then said <0559> he, What <04100> have they seen <07200> in

thine house <01004>? And Hezekiah <02396> answered <0559>, All

<03605> that [is] in mine house <01004> have they seen <07200>:

there is nothing among my treasures <0214> that I have not

shewed <07200> them.

5. Then said <0559> Isaiah <03470> to Hezekiah <02396>, Hear

<08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>:

6 Behold <02009>, the days <03117> come <0935>, that all

<03605> that [is] in thine house <01004>, and [that] which

<0834> thy fathers <01> have laid up in store <0686> until

<05704> this <02088> day <03117>, shall be carried <05375> to

Babylon <0894>: nothing shall be left <03498>, saith <0559> the

LORD <03068>.

7 And of thy sons <01121> that shall issue <03318> from thee,

which <0834> thou shalt beget <03205>, shall they take <03947>

away; and they shall be eunuchs <05631> in the palace <01964> of

the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>.

8 Then said <0559> Hezekiah <02396> to Isaiah <03470>, Good

<01319> [is] the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> which <0834>

thou hast spoken <01696>. He said <0559> moreover, For there

shall be peace <07965> and truth <0571> in my days <03117>.

Isaiah 40

1. Comfort <05162> ye, comfort <05162> ye my people <05971>,

saith <0559> your God <0430>.

2 Speak <01696> ye comfortably to Jerusalem <03389>, and cry

<07121> unto her, that her warfare <06635> is accomplished

<04390>, that her iniquity <05771> is pardoned <07521>: for she

hath received <03947> of the LORD'S <03068> hand <03027> double

<03718> for all <03605> her sins <02403>.

3. The voice <06963> of him that crieth <07121> in the

wilderness <04057>, Prepare <06437> ye the way <01870> of the

LORD <03068>, make straight <03474> in the desert <06160> a

highway <04546> for our God <0430>.

4 Every <03605> valley <01516> shall be exalted <05375>, and

every <03605> mountain <02022> and hill <01389> shall be made

low <08213>: and the crooked <06121> shall be made straight

<04334>, and the rough <07406> places plain <01237>:

5 And the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> shall be revealed

<01540>, and all <03605> flesh <01320> shall see <07200> [it]

together <03162>: for the mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068> hath

spoken <01696> [it].

6 The voice <06963> said <0559>, Cry <07121>. And he said

<0559>, What <04100> shall I cry <07121>? All <03605> flesh

<01320> [is] grass <02682>, and all <03605> the goodliness

<02617> thereof [is] as the flower <06731> of the field <07704>:

7 The grass <02682> withereth <03001>, the flower <06731>

fadeth <05034>: because <03588> the spirit <07307> of the LORD

<03068> bloweth <05380> upon it: surely <0406> the people

<05971> [is] grass <02682>.

8 The grass <02682> withereth <03001>, the flower <06731>

fadeth <05034>: but the word <01697> of our God <0430> shall

stand <06965> for ever <05769>.

9. O Zion <06726>, that bringest <01319> good <01319> tidings

<01319>, get <05927> thee up into <05921> the high <01364>

mountain <02022>; O Jerusalem <03389>, that bringest <01319>

good tidings <01319>, lift <07311> up thy voice <06963> with

strength <03581>; lift <07311> [it] up, be not afraid <03372>;

say <0559> unto the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, Behold

<02009> your God <0430>!

10 Behold <02009>, the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will come <0935>

with strong <02389> [hand], and his arm <02220> shall rule

<04910> for him: behold <02009>, his reward <07939> [is] with

him, and his work <06468> before <06440> him.

11 He shall feed <07462> his flock <05739> like a shepherd

<07462>: he shall gather <06908> the lambs <02922> with his arm

<02220>, and carry <05375> [them] in his bosom <02436>, [and]

shall gently lead <05095> those that are with young <05763>.

12. Who <04310> hath measured <04058> the waters <04325> in the

hollow <08168> of his hand, and meted <08505> out heaven <08064>

with the span <02239>, and comprehended <03557> the dust <06083>

of the earth <0776> in a measure <07991>, and weighed <08254>

the mountains <02022> in scales <06425>, and the hills <01389>

in a balance <03976>?

13 Who <04310> hath directed <08505> the Spirit <07307> of the

LORD <03068>, or [being] his counsellor <06098> hath taught

<03045> him?

14 With whom <04310> took he counsel <03289>, and [who]

instructed <0995> him, and taught <03925> him in the path <0734>

of judgment <04941>, and taught <03925> him knowledge <01847>,

and shewed <03045> to him the way <01870> of understanding

<08394>?

15 Behold <02005>, the nations <01471> [are] as a drop <04752>

of a bucket <01805>, and are counted <02803> as the small dust

<07834> of the balance <03976>: behold <02005>, he taketh

<05190> up the isles <0339> as a very <01851> little <01851>

thing.

16 And Lebanon <03844> [is] not sufficient <01767> to burn

<01197>, nor <0369> the beasts <02416> thereof sufficient

<01767> for a burnt <05930> offering.

17 All <03605> nations <01471> before <06440> him [are] as

nothing <0369>; and they are counted <02803> to him less <0657>

than nothing, and vanity <08414>.

18. To whom <04310> then will ye liken <01819> God <0410>? or

what <04100> likeness <01823> will ye compare <06186> unto him?

19 The workman <02796> melteth <05258> a graven <06459> image,

and the goldsmith <06884> spreadeth <07554> it over with gold

<02091>, and casteth <06884> silver <03701> chains <07569>.

20 He that [is] so impoverished <05533> that he hath no <03808>

oblation <08641> chooseth <0977> a tree <06086> [that] will not

rot <07537>; he seeketh <01245> unto him a cunning <02450>

workman <02796> to prepare <03559> a graven <06459> image,

[that] shall not be moved <04131>.

21 Have ye not known <03045>? have ye not heard <08085>? hath

it not been told <05046> you from the beginning <07218>? have ye

not understood <0995> from the foundations <04146> of the earth

<0776>?

22 [It is] he that sitteth <03427> upon the circle <02329> of

the earth <0776>, and the inhabitants <03427> thereof [are] as

grasshoppers <02284>; that stretcheth <05186> out the heavens

<08064> as a curtain <01852>, and spreadeth <04969> them out as

a tent <0168> to dwell <03427> in:

23 That bringeth <05414> the princes <07336> to nothing; he

maketh <06213> the judges <08199> of the earth <0776> as vanity

<08414>.

24 Yea <0637>, they shall not be planted <05193>; yea <0637>,

they shall not be sown <02232>: yea <0637>, their stock <01503>

shall not take <03947> root <08327> in the earth <0776>: and he

shall also <01571> blow <05398> upon them, and they shall wither

<03001>, and the whirlwind <05591> shall take <05375> them away

as stubble <07179>.

25 To whom <04310> then will ye liken <01819> me, or shall I be

equal <07737>? saith <0559> the Holy <06918> One.

26 Lift <05375> up your eyes <05869> on high <04791>, and

behold <07200> who <04310> hath created <01254> these <0428>

[things], that bringeth <03318> out their host <06635> by number

<04557>: he calleth <07121> them all <03605> by names <08034> by

the greatness <07230> of his might <0202>, for that [he is]

strong <0533> in power <03581>; not one <0376> faileth <05737>.

27. Why <04100> sayest <0559> thou, O Jacob <03290>, and

speakest <01696>, O Israel <03478>, My way <01870> is hid

<05641> from the LORD <03068>, and my judgment <04941> is passed

<05674> over <05674> from my God <0430>?

28 Hast thou not known <03045>? hast thou not heard <08085>,

[that] the everlasting <05769> God <0430>, the LORD <03068>, the

Creator <01254> of the ends <07098> of the earth <0776>,

fainteth <03286> not, neither <03808> is weary <03021>? [there

is] no <0369> searching <02714> of his understanding <08394>.

29 He giveth <05414> power <03581> to the faint <03287>; and to

[them that have] no <0369> might <0202> he increaseth <07235>

strength <06109>.

30 Even the youths <05288> shall faint <03286> and be weary

<03021>, and the young men shall utterly fall <03782>:

31 But they that wait <06960> upon the LORD <03068> shall renew

<02498> [their] strength <03581>; they shall mount <05927> up

with wings <083> as eagles <05404>; they shall run <07323>, and

not be weary <03021>; [and] they shall walk <03212>, and not

faint <03286>.

Isaiah 41

1. Keep silence <02790> before <0413> me, O islands <0339>; and

let the people <03816> renew <02498> [their] strength <03581>:

let them come <05066> near <05066>; then <0227> let them speak

<01696>: let us come <07126> near <07126> together <03162> to

judgment <04941>.

2 Who <04310> raised <05782> up the righteous <06664> [man]

from the east <04217>, called <07121> him to his foot <07272>,

gave <05414> the nations <01471> before <06440> him, and made

[him] rule <07287> over kings <04428>? he gave <05414> [them] as

the dust <06083> to his sword <02719>, [and] as driven <05086>

stubble <07179> to his bow <07198>.

3 He pursued <07291> them, [and] passed <05674> safely <07965>;

[even] by the way <0734> [that] he had not gone <0935> with his

feet <07272>.

4 Who <04310> hath wrought <06466> and done <06213> [it],

calling <07121> the generations <01755> from the beginning

<07218>? I the LORD <03068>, the first <07223>, and with the

last <0314>; I [am] he.

5 The isles <0339> saw <07200> [it], and feared <03372>; the

ends <07098> of the earth <0776> were afraid <02729>, drew near

<07126>, and came <0857>.

6 They helped <05826> every <0376> one <0376> his neighbour

<07453>; and [every <0376> one <0376>] said <0559> to his

brother <0251>, Be of good <01390> courage <02388>.

7 So the carpenter <02796> encouraged <02388> the goldsmith

<06884>, [and] he that smootheth <02505> [with] the hammer

<06360> him that smote <01986> the anvil <06471>, saying <0559>,

It [is] ready <02896> for the sodering <01694>: and he fastened

<02388> it with nails <04548>, [that] it should not be moved

<04131>.

8 But thou, Israel <03478>, [art] my servant <05650>, Jacob

<03290> whom <0834> I have chosen <0977>, the seed <02233> of

Abraham <085> my friend <0157>.

9 [Thou] whom <0834> I have taken <02388> from the ends <07098>

of the earth <0776>, and called <07121> thee from the chief

<0678> men thereof, and said <0559> unto thee, Thou [art] my

servant <05650>; I have chosen <0977> thee, and not cast <03988>

thee away.

10. Fear <03372> thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not

dismayed <08159>; for I [am] thy God <0430>: I will strengthen

<0553> thee; yea <0637>, I will help <05826> thee; yea <0637>, I

will uphold <08551> thee with the right <03225> hand <03225> of

my righteousness <06664>.

11 Behold <02005>, all <03605> they that were incensed <02734>

against thee shall be ashamed <0954> and confounded <03637>:

they shall be as nothing <0369>; and they that strive <07379>

with thee shall perish <06>.

12 Thou shalt seek <01245> them, and shalt not find <04672>

them, [even] them that contended <04695> with thee: they that

war <04421> against thee shall be as nothing <0369>, and as a

thing of nought <0657>.

13 For I the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> will hold <02388> thy

right <03225> hand <03225>, saying <0559> unto thee, Fear

<03372> not; I will help <05826> thee.

14 Fear <03372> not, thou worm <08438> Jacob <03290>, [and] ye

men <04962> of Israel <03478>; I will help <05826> thee, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068>, and thy redeemer <01350>, the Holy

<06918> One of Israel <03478>.

15 Behold <02009>, I will make <07760> thee a new <02319> sharp

<02742> threshing <04173> instrument having <01167> teeth

<06374>: thou shalt thresh <01758> the mountains <02022>, and

beat <01854> [them] small <01854>, and shalt make <07760> the

hills <01389> as chaff <04671>.

16 Thou shalt fan <02219> them, and the wind <07307> shall

carry <05375> them away, and the whirlwind <05591> shall scatter

<06327> them: and thou shalt rejoice <01523> in the LORD <03068>,

[and] shalt glory <01984> in the Holy <06918> One of Israel

<03478>.

17 [When] the poor <06041> and needy <034> seek <01245> water

<04325>, and [there is] none <0369>, [and] their tongue <03956>

faileth <05405> for thirst <06772>, I the LORD <03068> will hear

<06030> them, I the God <0430> of Israel <03478> will not

forsake <05800> them.

18 I will open <06605> rivers <05103> in high <08203> places,

and fountains <04599> in the midst <08432> of the valleys

<01237>: I will make <07760> the wilderness <04057> a pool <098>

of water <04325>, and the dry <06723> land <0776> springs

<04161> of water <04325>.

19 I will plant <05414> in the wilderness <04057> the cedar

<0730>, the shittah <07848> tree <06086>, and the myrtle <01918>,

and the oil <08081> tree <06086>; I will set <07760> in the

desert <06160> the fir <01265> tree, [and] the pine <08410>, and

the box <08391> tree together <03162>:

20 That they may see <07200>, and know <03045>, and consider

<07760>, and understand <07919> together <03162>, that the hand

<03027> of the LORD <03068> hath done <06213> this <02063>, and

the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478> hath created <01254> it.

21. Produce <07126> your cause <07379>, saith <0559> the LORD

<03068>; bring <05066> forth <05066> your strong <06110>

[reasons], saith <0559> the King <04428> of Jacob <03290>.

22 Let them bring <05066> [them] forth <05066>, and shew

<05046> us what shall happen <07136>: let them shew <05046> the

former <07223> things, what <04100> they [be], that we may

consider them, and know <03045> the latter <0319> end of them;

or declare <08085> us things for to come <0935>.

23 Shew <05046> the things that are to come <0857> hereafter

<0268>, that we may know <03045> that ye [are] gods <0430>: yea

<0637>, do good <01319>, or do evil <07489>, that we may be

dismayed <08159>, and behold <07200> [it] together <03162>.

24 Behold <02005>, ye [are] of nothing <0369>, and your work

<06467> of nought <0659>: an abomination <08441> [is he that]

chooseth <0977> you.

25 I have raised <05782> up [one] from the north <06828>, and

he shall come <0857>: from the rising <04217> of the sun <08121>

shall he call <07121> upon my name <08034>: and he shall come

<0935> upon princes <05461> as [upon] morter <02563>, and as the

potter <03335> treadeth <07429> clay <02916>.

26 Who <04310> hath declared <05046> from the beginning <07218>,

that we may know <03045>? and beforetime <06440>, that we may

say <0559>, [He is] righteous <06662>? yea <0637>, [there is]

none <0369> that sheweth <05046>, yea <0637>, [there is] none

<0369> that declareth <05046>, yea <0637>, [there is] none

<0369> that heareth <08085> your words <0561>.

27 The first <07223> [shall say] to Zion <06726>, Behold

<02009>, behold <02009> them: and I will give <05414> to

Jerusalem <03389> one that bringeth <01319> good <01319> tidings

<01319>.

28 For I beheld <07200>, and [there was] no <0369> man <0376>;

even among them, and [there was] no <0369> counsellor <03289>,

that, when I asked <07592> of them, could answer <07725> a word

<01697>.

29 Behold <02005>, they [are] all <03605> vanity <0205>; their

works <04639> [are] nothing <0657>: their molten <05262> images

[are] wind <07307> and confusion <05414>.

Isaiah 42

1. Behold <02005> my servant <05650>, whom I uphold <08551>;

mine elect <0972>, [in whom] my soul <05315> delighteth <07521>;

I have put <05414> my spirit <07307> upon him: he shall bring

<03318> forth <03318> judgment <04941> to the Gentiles <01471>.

2 He shall not cry <06817>, nor <03808> lift <05375> up, nor

<03808> cause his voice <06963> to be heard <08085> in the

street <02351>.

3 A bruised <07533> reed <07070> shall he not break <07665>,

and the smoking <03544> flax <06594> shall he not quench <03518>:

he shall bring <03318> forth <03318> judgment <04941> unto

truth <0571>.

4 He shall not fail <03543> nor <03808> be discouraged <07533>,

till <05704> he have set <07760> judgment <04941> in the earth

<0776>: and the isles <0339> shall wait <03176> for his law

<08451>.

5. Thus <03541> saith <0559> God <0410> the LORD <03068>, he

that created <01254> the heavens <08064>, and stretched <05186>

them out; he that spread <07554> forth the earth <0776>, and

that which cometh <06631> out of it; he that giveth <05414>

breath <05397> unto the people <05971> upon it, and spirit

<07307> to them that walk <01980> therein:

6 I the LORD <03068> have called <07121> thee in righteousness

<06664>, and will hold <02388> thine hand <03027>, and will keep

<05341> thee, and give <05414> thee for a covenant <01285> of

the people <05971>, for a light <0216> of the Gentiles <01471>;

7 To open <06491> the blind <05787> eyes <05869>, to bring

<03318> out the prisoners <0616> from the prison <04525>, [and]

them that sit <03427> in darkness <02822> out of the prison

<03608> house <01004>.

8 I [am] the LORD <03068>: that [is] my name <08034>: and my

glory <03519> will I not give <05414> to another <0312>, neither

my praise <08416> to graven <06456> images.

9 Behold <02009>, the former <07223> things are come <0935> to

pass, and new <02319> things do I declare <05046>: before

<02962> they spring <06779> forth I tell <08085> you of them.

10 Sing <07891> unto the LORD <03068> a new <02319> song

<07892>, [and] his praise <08416> from the end <07097> of the

earth <0776>, ye that go <03381> down <03381> to the sea <03220>,

and all <04393> that is therein <04393>; the isles <0339>, and

the inhabitants <03427> thereof.

11 Let the wilderness <04057> and the cities <05892> thereof

lift <05375> up [their voice], the villages <02691> [that] Kedar

<06938> doth inhabit <03427>: let the inhabitants <03427> of the

rock <05553> sing <07442>, let them shout <06681> from the top

<07218> of the mountains <02022>.

12 Let them give <07760> glory <03519> unto the LORD <03068>,

and declare <05046> his praise <08416> in the islands <0339>.

13. The LORD <03068> shall go <03318> forth <03318> as a mighty

<01368> man <0376>, he shall stir <05782> up jealousy <07068>

like a man <0376> of war <04421>: he shall cry <07321>, yea

<0637>, roar <06873>; he shall prevail <01396> against <05921>

his enemies <0341>.

14 I have long <05769> time holden <02814> my peace <07814>; I

have been <01961> still <02790>, [and] refrained <0662> myself:

[now] will I cry <06463> like a travailing <03205> woman; I will

destroy <05395> and devour <07602> at <03162> once <03162>.

15 I will make <07760> waste <02717> mountains <02022> and

hills <01389>, and dry <03001> up all <03605> their herbs

<06212>; and I will make <07760> the rivers <05103> islands

<0339>, and I will dry <03001> up the pools <098>.

16 And I will bring <03212> the blind <05787> by a way <01870>

[that] they knew <03045> not; I will lead <01869> them in paths

<05410> [that] they have not known <03045>: I will make <07760>

darkness <04285> light <0216> before <06440> them, and crooked

<04625> things straight <04334>. These <0428> things <01697>

will I do <06213> unto them, and not forsake <05800> them.

17 They shall be turned <05472> back <0268>, they shall be

greatly ashamed <0954>, that trust <0982> in graven <06459>

images, that say <0559> to the molten <04541> images, Ye [are]

our gods <0430>.

18. Hear <08085>, ye deaf <02795>; and look <05027>, ye blind

<05787>, that ye may see <07200>.

19 Who <04310> [is] blind <05787>, but my servant <05650>? or

deaf <02795>, as my messenger <04397> [that] I sent <07971>? who

<04310> [is] blind <05787> as [he that is] perfect <07999>, and

blind <05787> as the LORD'S <03068> servant <05650>?

20 Seeing <07200> many <07227> things, but thou observest

<08104> not; opening <06491> the ears <0241>, but he heareth

<08085> not.

21 The LORD <03068> is well <02654> pleased <02654> for his

righteousness <06664>' sake <04616>; he will magnify <01431> the

law <08451>, and make [it] honourable <0142>.

22 But this <01931> [is] a people <05971> robbed <0962> and

spoiled <08154>; [they are] all <03605> of them snared <06351>

in holes <02356>, and they are hid <02244> in prison <03608>

houses <01004>: they are for a prey <0957>, and none <0369>

delivereth <05337>; for a spoil <04933>, and none <0369> saith

<0559>, Restore <07725>.

23 Who <04310> among you will give ear <0238> to this <02063>?

[who] will hearken <07181> and hear <08085> for the time <0268>

to come?

24 Who <04310> gave <05414> Jacob <03290> for a spoil <04882>,

and Israel <03478> to the robbers <0962>? did not the LORD

<03068>, he against whom <02098> we have sinned <02398>? for

they would <014> not walk <01980> in his ways <01870>, neither

<03808> were they obedient <08085> unto his law <08451>.

25 Therefore he hath poured <08210> upon him the fury <02534>

of his anger <0639>, and the strength <05807> of battle <04421>:

and it hath set <07760> him on fire <03857> round <05439> about,

yet he knew <03045> not; and it burned <01197> him, yet he laid

<07760> [it] not to heart <03820>.

Isaiah 43

1. But now <06258> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>

that created <01254> thee, O Jacob <03290>, and he that formed

<03335> thee, O Israel <03478>, Fear <03372> not: for I have

redeemed <01350> thee, I have called <07121> [thee] by thy name

<08034>; thou [art] mine.

2 When <03588> thou passest <05674> through the waters <04325>,

I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers <05103>, they

shall not overflow <07857> thee: when <03588> thou walkest

<03212> through <01119> the fire <0784>, thou shalt not be

burned <03554>; neither <03808> shall the flame <03852> kindle

<01197> upon thee.

3 For I [am] the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, the Holy <06918>

One of Israel <03478>, thy Saviour <03467>: I gave <05414> Egypt

<04714> [for] thy ransom <03724>, Ethiopia <03568> and Seba

<05434> for thee.

4 Since thou wast precious <03365> in my sight <05869>, thou

hast been honourable <03513>, and I have loved <0157> thee:

therefore will I give <05414> men <0120> for thee, and people

<03816> for thy life <05315>.

5 Fear <03372> not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring <0935>

thy seed <02233> from the east <04217>, and gather <06908> thee

from the west <04628>;

6 I will say <0559> to the north <06828>, Give <05414> up; and

to the south <08486>, Keep <03607> not back <03607>: bring

<0935> my sons <01121> from far <07350>, and my daughters

<01121> from the ends <07097> of the earth <0776>;

7 [Even] every <03605> one that is called <07121> by my name

<08034>: for I have created <01254> him for my glory <03519>, I

have formed <03335> him; yea <0637>, I have made <06213> him.

8. Bring <03318> forth <03318> the blind <05787> people <05971>

that have <03426> eyes <05869>, and the deaf <02795> that have

ears <0241>.

9 Let all <03605> the nations <01471> be gathered <06908>

together <03162>, and let the people <03816> be assembled: who

<04310> among them can declare <05046> this <02063>, and shew

<08085> us former <07223> things? let them bring <05414> forth

their witnesses <05707>, that they may be justified <06663>: or

let them hear <08085>, and say <0559>, [It is] truth <0571>.

10 Ye [are] my witnesses <05707>, saith <05002> the LORD

<03068>, and my servant <05650> whom <0834> I have chosen <0977>:

that ye may know <03045> and believe <0539> me, and understand

<0995> that I [am] he: before <06440> me there was no <03808>

God <0410> formed <03335>, neither <03808> shall there be after

<0310> me.

11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD <03068>; and beside <01107> me

[there is] no <0369> saviour <03467>.

12 I have declared <05046>, and have saved <03467>, and I have

shewed <08085>, when [there was] no <0369> strange <02114> [god]

among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses <05707>, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068>, that I [am] God <0410>.

13 Yea <01571>, before the day <03117> [was] I [am] he; and

[there is] none <0369> that can deliver <05337> out of my hand

<03027>: I will work <06466>, and who <04310> shall let <07725>

it?

14. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, your redeemer

<01350>, the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>; For your sake

<04616> I have sent <07971> to Babylon <0894>, and have brought

<03381> down <03381> all <03605> their nobles <01281>, and the

Chaldeans <03778>, whose cry <07440> [is] in the ships <0591>.

15 I [am] the LORD <03068>, your Holy <06918> One, the creator

<01254> of Israel <03478>, your King <04428>.

16 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, which maketh

<05414> a way <01870> in the sea <03220>, and a path <05410> in

the mighty <05794> waters <04325>;

17 Which bringeth <03318> forth <04161> the chariot <07393> and

horse <05483>, the army <02428> and the power <05808>; they

shall lie <07901> down <03381> together <03162>, they shall not

rise <06965>: they are extinct <01846>, they are quenched

<03518> as tow <06594>.

18 Remember <02142> ye not the former <07223> things, neither

<0408> consider <0995> the things of old <06931>.

19 Behold <02005>, I will do <06213> a new <02319> thing; now

<06258> it shall spring <06779> forth <06779>; shall ye not know

<03045> it? I will even <0637> make <07760> a way <01870> in the

wilderness <04057>, [and] rivers <05103> in the desert <03452>.

20 The beast <02416> of the field <07704> shall honour <03513>

me, the dragons <08577> and the owls: because <03588> I give

<05414> waters <04325> in the wilderness <04057>, [and] rivers

<05103> in the desert <03452>, to give drink <08248> to my

people <05971>, my chosen <0972>.

21 This <02098> people <05971> have I formed <03335> for myself;

they shall shew <05608> forth my praise <08416>.

22. But thou hast not called <07121> upon me, O Jacob <03290>;

but thou hast been weary <03021> of me, O Israel <03478>.

23 Thou hast not brought <0935> me the small cattle <07716> of

thy burnt <05930> offerings; neither <03808> hast thou honoured

<03513> me with thy sacrifices <02077>. I have not caused thee

to serve <05647> with an offering <04503>, nor <03808> wearied

<03021> thee with incense <03828>.

24 Thou hast bought <07069> me no <03808> sweet cane <07070>

with money <03701>, neither <03808> hast thou filled <07301> me

with the fat <02459> of thy sacrifices <02077>: but thou hast

made me to serve <05647> with thy sins <02403>, thou hast

wearied <03021> me with thine iniquities <05771>.

25 I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth <04229> out thy

transgressions <06588> for mine own sake <04616>, and will not

remember <02142> thy sins <02403>.

26 Put me in remembrance <02142>: let us plead <08199> together

<03162>: declare <05608> thou, that thou mayest be justified

<06663>.

27 Thy first <07223> father <01> hath sinned <02398>, and thy

teachers <03887> have transgressed <06586> against me.

28 Therefore I have profaned <02490> the princes <08269> of the

sanctuary <06944>, and have given <05414> Jacob <03290> to the

curse <02764>, and Israel <03478> to reproaches <01421>.

Isaiah 44

1. Yet now <06258> hear <08085>, O Jacob <03290> my servant

<05650>; and Israel <03478>, whom I have chosen <0977>:

2 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> that made <06213>

thee, and formed <03335> thee from the womb <0990>, [which] will

help <05826> thee; Fear <03372> not, O Jacob <03290>, my servant

<05650>; and thou, Jesurun <03484>, whom I have chosen <0977>.

3 For I will pour <03332> water <04325> upon him that is

thirsty <06771>, and floods <05140> upon the dry <03004> ground:

I will pour <03332> my spirit <07307> upon thy seed <02233>, and

my blessing <01293> upon thine offspring <06631>:

4 And they shall spring <06779> up [as] among <0996> the grass

<02682>, as willows <06155> by the water <04325> courses <02988>.

5 One shall say <0559>, I [am] the LORD'S <03068>; and another

<02088> shall call <07121> [himself] by the name <08034> of

Jacob <03290>; and another <02088> shall subscribe <03789>

[with] his hand <03027> unto the LORD <03068>, and surname

<03655> [himself] by the name <08034> of Israel <03478>.

6 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> the King <04428>

of Israel <03478>, and his redeemer <01350> the LORD <03068> of

hosts <06635>; I [am] the first <07223>, and I [am] the last

<0314>; and beside <01107> me [there is] no <0369> God <0430>.

7 And who <04310>, as I, shall call <07121>, and shall declare

<05046> it, and set it in order <06186> for me, since I

appointed <07760> the ancient <05769> people <05971>? and the

things that are coming <0857>, and shall come <0935>, let them

shew <05046> unto them.

8 Fear <06342> ye not, neither <0408> be afraid <07297>: have

not I told <08085> thee from that time <0227>, and have declared

<05046> [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses <05707>. Is there a God

<0433> beside <01107> me? yea, [there is] no <0369> God <06697>;

I know <03045> not [any].

9. They that make <03335> a graven <06459> image [are] all

<03605> of them vanity <08414>; and their delectable <02530>

things shall not profit <03276>; and they [are] their own

witnesses <05707>; they see <07200> not, nor <01077> know

<03045>; that they may be ashamed <0954>.

10 Who <04310> hath formed <03335> a god <0410>, or molten

<05258> a graven <06459> image [that] is profitable <03276> for

nothing <01115>?

11 Behold <02005>, all <03605> his fellows <02270> shall be

ashamed <0954>: and the workmen <02796>, they [are] of men

<0120>: let them all <03605> be gathered <06908> together, let

them stand <05975> up; [yet] they shall fear <06342>, [and] they

shall be ashamed <0954> together <03162>.

12 The smith with the tongs <04621> both worketh <06466> in the

coals <06352>, and fashioneth <03335> it with hammers <04717>,

and worketh <06466> it with the strength <03581> of his arms

<02220>: yea <01571>, he is hungry <07456>, and his strength

<03581> faileth <0369>: he drinketh <08354> no <03808> water

<04325>, and is faint <03286>.

13 The carpenter <02796> stretcheth <05186> out [his] rule

<04910>; he marketh <08388> it out with a line <08279>; he

fitteth <06213> it with planes <04741>, and he marketh <08388>

it out with the compass <04230>, and maketh <06213> it after the

figure <08403> of a man <0376>, according to the beauty <08597>

of a man <0120>; that it may remain <03427> in the house <01004>.

14 He heweth <03772> him down cedars <0730>, and taketh <03947>

the cypress <08645> and the oak <0437>, which he strengtheneth

<0553> for himself among the trees <06086> of the forest <03293>:

he planteth <05192> an ash <0766>, and the rain <01653> doth

nourish <01431> [it].

15 Then shall it be for a man <0120> to burn <01197>: for he

will take <03947> thereof, and warm <02552> himself; yea <0637>,

he kindleth <05400> [it], and baketh <0644> bread <03899>; yea

<0637>, he maketh <06466> a god <0410>, and worshippeth <07812>

[it]; he maketh <06213> it a graven <06459> image, and falleth

<05456> down <05456> thereto.

16 He burneth <08313> part <02677> thereof in the fire <0784>;

with part <02677> thereof he eateth <0398> flesh <01320>; he

roasteth <0740> roast <06748>, and is satisfied <07646>: yea

<0637>, he warmeth <02552> [himself], and saith <0559>, Aha

<0253>, I am warm <02552>, I have seen <07200> the fire <0217>:

17 And the residue <07611> thereof he maketh <06213> a god

<0410>, [even] his graven <06459> image: he falleth <05456> down

<05456> unto it, and worshippeth <07812> [it], and prayeth

<06419> unto it, and saith <0559>, Deliver <05337> me; for thou

[art] my god <0410>.

18 They have not known <03045> nor understood <0995>: for he

hath shut <02902> their eyes <05869>, that they cannot see

<07200>; [and] their hearts <03826>, that they cannot understand

<07919>.

19 And none <03808> considereth <07725> in his heart <03820>,

neither <03808> [is there] knowledge <01847> nor <03808>

understanding <08394> to say <0559>, I have burned <08314> part

<02677> of it in the fire <0784>; yea <0637>, also <0637> I have

baked <0644> bread <03899> upon the coals <01513> thereof; I

have roasted <06740> flesh <01320>, and eaten <0398> [it]: and

shall I make <06213> the residue <03499> thereof an abomination

<08441>? shall I fall <05456> down <05456> to the stock <0944>

of a tree <06086>?

20 He feedeth <07462> on ashes <0665>: a deceived <02048> heart

<03820> hath turned <05186> him aside <05186>, that he cannot

<03808> deliver <05337> his soul <05315>, nor <03808> say <0559>,

[Is there] not a lie <03576> in my right <03225> hand <03225>?

21. Remember <02142> these <0428>, O Jacob <03290> and Israel

<03478>; for thou [art] my servant <05650>: I have formed

<03335> thee; thou [art] my servant <05650>: O Israel <03478>,

thou shalt not be forgotten <05382> of me.

22 I have blotted <04229> out, as a thick cloud <05645>, thy

transgressions <06588>, and, as a cloud <06051>, thy sins

<02403>: return <07725> unto me; for I have redeemed <01350>

thee.

23 Sing <07442>, O ye heavens <08064>; for the LORD <03068>

hath done <06213> [it]: shout <07321>, ye lower <08482> parts of

the earth <0776>: break <06476> forth into singing <07440>, ye

mountains <02022>, O forest <03293>, and every <03605> tree

<06086> therein: for the LORD <03068> hath redeemed <01350>

Jacob <03290>, and glorified <06286> himself in Israel <03478>.

24 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, thy redeemer

<01350>, and he that formed <03335> thee from the womb <0990>, I

[am] the LORD <03068> that maketh <06213> all <03605> [things];

that stretcheth <05186> forth the heavens <08064> alone <0905>;

that spreadeth <07554> abroad <07554> the earth <0776> by myself;

25 That frustrateth <06565> the tokens <0226> of the liars

<0907>, and maketh diviners <07080> mad <01984>; that turneth

<07725> wise <02450> [men] backward <0268>, and maketh their

knowledge <01847> foolish <05528>;

26 That confirmeth <06965> the word <01697> of his servant

<05650>, and performeth <07999> the counsel <06098> of his

messengers <04397>; that saith <0559> to Jerusalem <03389>, Thou

shalt be inhabited <03427>; and to the cities <05892> of Judah

<03063>, Ye shall be built <01129>, and I will raise <06965> up

the decayed <02723> places thereof:

27 That saith <0559> to the deep <06683>, Be dry <02717>, and I

will dry <03001> up thy rivers <05103>:

28 That saith <0559> of Cyrus <03566>, [He is] my shepherd

<07462>, and shall perform <07999> all <03605> my pleasure

<02656>: even saying <0559> to Jerusalem <03389>, Thou shalt be

built <01129>; and to the temple <01964>, Thy foundation <03245>

shall be laid.

Isaiah 45

1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> to his anointed

<04899>, to Cyrus <03566>, whose <0834> right <03225> hand

<03225> I have holden <02388>, to subdue <07286> nations <01471>

before <06440> him; and I will loose <06605> the loins <04975>

of kings <04428>, to open <06605> before <06440> him the two

leaved <01817> gates <01817>; and the gates <08179> shall not be

shut <05462>;

2 I will go <03212> before <06440> thee, and make the crooked

<01921> places straight <03474>: I will break <07665> in pieces

the gates <01817> of brass <05154>, and cut <01438> in sunder

the bars <01280> of iron <01270>:

3 And I will give <05414> thee the treasures <0214> of darkness

<02822>, and hidden <04301> riches <04301> of secret <04565>

places, that thou mayest know <03045> that I, the LORD <03068>,

which call <07121> [thee] by thy name <08034>, [am] the God

<0430> of Israel <03478>.

4 For Jacob <03290> my servant's <05650> sake <04616>, and

Israel <03478> mine elect <0972>, I have even called <07121>

thee by thy name <08034>: I have surnamed <03655> thee, though

thou hast not known <03045> me.

5. I [am] the LORD <03068>, and [there is] none <0369> else

<05750>, [there is] no <0369> God <0430> beside <02108> me: I

girded <0247> thee, though thou hast not known <03045> me:

6 That they may know <03045> from the rising <04217> of the sun

<08121>, and from the west <04628>, that [there is] none <0657>

beside <01107> me. I [am] the LORD <03068>, and [there is] none

<0369> else <05750>.

7 I form <03335> the light <0216>, and create <01254> darkness

<02822>: I make <06213> peace <07965>, and create <01254> evil

<07451>: I the LORD <03068> do <06213> all these <0428> [things].

8 Drop <07491> down, ye heavens <08064>, from above <04605>,

and let the skies <07834> pour <05140> down righteousness

<06664>: let the earth <0776> open <06605>, and let them bring

<06509> forth <06509> salvation <03468>, and let righteousness

<06666> spring <06779> up together <03162>; I the LORD <03068>

have created <01254> it.

9 Woe <01945> unto him that striveth <07378> with his Maker

<03335>! [Let] the potsherd <02789> [strive] with the potsherds

<02789> of the earth <0127>. Shall the clay <02563> say <0559>

to him that fashioneth <03335> it, What <04100> makest <06213>

thou? or thy work <06467>, He hath no <0369> hands <03027>?

10 Woe <01945> unto him that saith <0559> unto [his] father

<01>, What <04100> begettest <03205> thou? or to the woman

<0802>, What <04100> hast thou brought <02342> forth <02342>?

11. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, the Holy

<06918> One of Israel <03478>, and his Maker <03335>, Ask

<07592> me of things to come <0857> concerning <05921> my sons

<01121>, and concerning <05921> the work <06467> of my hands

<03027> command <06680> ye me.

12 I have made <06213> the earth <0776>, and created <01254>

man <0120> upon it: I, [even] my hands <03027>, have stretched

<05186> out the heavens <08064>, and all <03605> their host

<06635> have I commanded <06680>.

13 I have raised <05782> him up in righteousness <06664>, and I

will direct <03474> all <03605> his ways <01870>: he shall build

<01129> my city <05892>, and he shall let go <07971> my captives

<01546>, not for price <04242> nor <03808> reward <07810>, saith

<0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.

14 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, The labour

<03018> of Egypt <04714>, and merchandise <05505> of Ethiopia

<03568> and of the Sabeans <05436>, men <0582> of stature

<04060>, shall come <05674> over <05674> unto thee, and they

shall be thine: they shall come <03212> after <0310> thee; in

chains <02131> they shall come <05674> over <05674>, and they

shall fall <07812> down <07812> unto thee, they shall make

supplication <06419> unto thee, [saying], Surely <0389> God

<0410> [is] in thee; and [there is] none <0369> else <05750>,

[there is] no <0657> God <0430>.

15 Verily <0403> thou [art] a God <0410> that hidest <05641>

thyself, O God <0430> of Israel <03478>, the Saviour <03467>.

16 They shall be ashamed <0954>, and also <01571> confounded

<03637>, all <03605> of them: they shall go <01980> to confusion

<03639> together <03162> [that are] makers <02796> of idols

<06736>.

17 [But] Israel <03478> shall be saved <03467> in the LORD

<03068> with an everlasting <05769> salvation <08668>: ye shall

not be ashamed <0954> nor <03808> confounded <03637> world

<05769> without end.

18 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> that created

<01254> the heavens <08064>; God <0430> himself <01931> that

formed <03335> the earth <0776> and made <06213> it; he hath

established <03559> it, he created <01254> it not in vain

<08414>, he formed <03335> it to be inhabited <03427>: I [am]

the LORD <03068>; and [there is] none <0369> else <05750>.

19 I have not spoken <01696> in secret <05643>, in a dark

<02822> place <04725> of the earth <0776>: I said <0559> not

unto the seed <02233> of Jacob <03290>, Seek <01245> ye me in

vain <08414>: I the LORD <03068> speak <01696> righteousness

<06664>, I declare <05046> things that are right <04339>.

20. Assemble <06908> yourselves and come <0935>; draw near

<05066> together <03162>, ye [that are] escaped <06412> of the

nations <01471>: they have no <03808> knowledge <03045> that set

<05375> up the wood <06086> of their graven <06459> image, and

pray <06419> unto a god <0410> [that] cannot <03808> save

<03467>.

21 Tell <05046> ye, and bring <05066> [them] near <05066>; yea

<0637>, let them take counsel <03289> together <03162>: who

<04310> hath declared <05046> this <02063> from ancient <06924>

time? [who] hath told <05046> it from that time <0227>? [have]

not I the LORD <03068>? and [there is] no <0369> God <0430> else

<05750> beside <01107> me; a just <06662> God <0410> and a

Saviour <03467>; [there is] none <0369> beside <02108> me.

22 Look <06437> unto me, and be ye saved <03467>, all the ends

<0657> of the earth <0776>: for I [am] God <0410>, and [there

is] none <0369> else <05750>.

23 I have sworn <07650> by myself, the word <01697> is gone

<03318> out of my mouth <06310> [in] righteousness <06666>, and

shall not return <07725>, That unto me every <03605> knee

<01290> shall bow <03766>, every <03605> tongue <03956> shall

swear <07650>.

24 Surely, shall [one] say <0559>, in the LORD <03068> have I

righteousness <06666> and strength <05797>: [even] to him shall

[men] come <0935>; and all <03605> that are incensed <02734>

against him shall be ashamed <0954>.

25 In the LORD <03068> shall all <03605> the seed <02233> of

Israel <03478> be justified <06663>, and shall glory <01984>.

Isaiah 46

1. Bel <01078> boweth <03766> down <03766>, Nebo <05015>

stoopeth <07164>, their idols <06091> were upon the beasts

<02416>, and upon the cattle <0929>: your carriages <05385>

[were] heavy loaden <06006>; [they are] a burden <04853> to the

weary <05889> [beast].

2 They stoop <07164>, they bow <03766> down <03766> together

<03162>; they could <03201> not deliver <04422> the burden

<04853>, but themselves <05315> are gone <01980> into captivity

<07628>.

3 Hearken <08085> unto me, O house <01004> of Jacob <03290>,

and all <03605> the remnant <07611> of the house <01004> of

Israel <03478>, which are borne <06006> [by me] from the belly

<0990>, which are carried <05375> from the womb <07356>:

4 And [even] to [your] old <02209> age <02209> I [am] he; and

[even] to hoar <07872> hairs will I carry <05445> [you]: I have

made <06213>, and I will bear <05375>; even I will carry <05445>,

and will deliver <04422> [you].

5. To whom <04310> will ye liken <01819> me, and make [me]

equal <07737>, and compare <04911> me, that we may be like

<01819>?

6 They lavish <02107> gold <02091> out of the bag <03599>, and

weigh <08254> silver <03701> in the balance <07070>, [and] hire

<07936> a goldsmith <06884>; and he maketh <06213> it a god

<0410>: they fall <05456> down <05456>, yea <0637>, they worship

<07812>.

7 They bear <05375> him upon the shoulder <03802>, they carry

<05445> him, and set <03240> him in his place <08478>, and he

standeth <05975>; from his place <04725> shall he not remove

<04185>: yea <0637>, [one] shall cry <06817> unto him, yet can

he not answer <06030>, nor <03808> save <03467> him out of his

trouble <06869>.

8 Remember <02142> this <02063>, and shew yourselves men <0376>:

bring <07725> [it] again <07725> to mind <03820>, O ye

transgressors <06586>.

9 Remember <02142> the former <07223> things of old <05769>:

for I [am] God <0410>, and [there is] none <0369> else <05750>;

[I am] God <0430>, and [there is] none <0657> like <03644> me,

10 Declaring <05046> the end <0319> from the beginning <07225>,

and from ancient <06924> times [the things] that are not [yet]

done <06213>, saying <0559>, My counsel <06098> shall stand

<06965>, and I will do <06213> all <03605> my pleasure <02656>:

11 Calling <07121> a ravenous <05861> bird <05861> from the

east <04217>, the man <0376> that executeth my counsel <06098>

from a far <04801> country <0776>: yea <0637>, I have spoken

<01696> [it], I will also <0637> bring <0935> it to pass; I have

purposed <03335> [it], I will also <0637> do <06213> it.

12 Hearken <08085> unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far

<07350> from righteousness <06666>:

13 I bring <07126> near <07126> my righteousness <06666>; it

shall not be far <07368> off, and my salvation <08668> shall not

tarry <0309>: and I will place <05414> salvation <08668> in Zion

<06726> for Israel <03478> my glory <08597>.

Isaiah 47

1. Come <03381> down <03381>, and sit <03427> in the dust

<06083>, O virgin <01330> daughter <01323> of Babylon <0894>,

sit <03427> on <05921> the ground <0776>: [there is] no <0369>

throne <03678>, O daughter <01323> of the Chaldeans <03778>: for

thou shalt no <03808> more <03254> be called <07121> tender

<07390> and delicate <06028>.

2 Take <03947> the millstones <07347>, and grind <02912> meal

<07058>: uncover <01540> thy locks <06777>, make bare <02834>

the leg <07640>, uncover <01540> the thigh <07785>, pass <05674>

over <05674> the rivers <05103>.

3 Thy nakedness <06172> shall be uncovered <01540>, yea <01571>,

thy shame <02781> shall be seen <07200>: I will take <03947>

vengeance <05359>, and I will not meet <06293> [thee as] a man

<0120>.

4 [As for] our redeemer <01350>, the LORD <03068> of hosts

<06635> [is] his name <08034>, the Holy <06918> One of Israel

<03478>.

5 Sit <03427> thou silent <01748>, and get <0935> thee into

darkness <02822>, O daughter <01323> of the Chaldeans <03778>:

for thou shalt no <03808> more <03254> be called <07121>, The

lady <01404> of kingdoms <04467>.

6 I was wroth <07107> with my people <05971>, I have polluted

<02490> mine inheritance <05159>, and given <05414> them into

thine hand <03027>: thou didst shew <07760> them no <03808>

mercy <07356>; upon the ancient <02204> hast thou very <03966>

heavily <03513> laid thy yoke <05923>.

7. And thou saidst <0559>, I shall be a lady <01404> for ever

<05769>: [so <05704>] that thou didst not lay <07760> these

<0428> [things] to thy heart <03820>, neither <03808> didst

remember <02142> the latter <0319> end of it.

8 Therefore hear <08085> now <06258> this <02063>, [thou that

art] given to pleasures <05719>, that dwellest <03427>

carelessly <0983>, that sayest <0559> in thine heart <03824>, I

[am], and none <0657> else <05750> beside <0657> me; I shall not

sit <03427> [as] a widow <0490>, neither <03808> shall I know

<03045> the loss <07921> of children:

9 But these <0428> two <08147> [things] shall come <0935> to

thee in a moment <07281> in one <0259> day <03117>, the loss

<07921> of children, and widowhood <0489>: they shall come

<0935> upon thee in their perfection <08537> for the multitude

<07230> of thy sorceries <03785>, [and] for the great <03966>

abundance <06109> of thine enchantments <02267>.

10 For thou hast trusted <0982> in thy wickedness <07451>: thou

hast said <0559>, None <0369> seeth <07200> me. Thy wisdom

<02451> and thy knowledge <01847>, it hath perverted <07725>

thee; and thou hast said <0559> in thine heart <03820>, I [am],

and none <0657> else <05750> beside <0657> me.

11 Therefore shall evil <07451> come <0935> upon thee; thou

shalt not know <03045> from whence <0370> it riseth <07837>: and

mischief <01943> shall fall <05307> upon thee; thou shalt not be

able <03201> to put <03722> it off: and desolation <07722> shall

come <0935> upon thee suddenly <06597>, [which] thou shalt not

know <03045>.

12 Stand <05975> now <04994> with thine enchantments <02267>,

and with the multitude <07230> of thy sorceries <03785>, wherein

<0834> thou hast laboured <03021> from thy youth <05271>; if

<0194> so be thou shalt be able <03201> to profit <03276>, if

<0194> so be thou mayest prevail <06206>.

13 Thou art wearied <03811> in the multitude <07230> of thy

counsels <06098>. Let now <04994> the astrologers <01895>, the

stargazers, the monthly <02320> prognosticators <03045>, stand

<05975> up, and save <03467> thee from [these things] that shall

come <0935> upon thee.

14 Behold <02009>, they shall be as stubble <07179>; the fire

<0784> shall burn <08313> them; they shall not deliver <05337>

themselves <05315> from the power <03027> of the flame <03852>:

[there shall] not [be] a coal <01513> to warm <02552> at, [nor]

fire <0217> to sit <03427> before <05048> it.

15 Thus <03651> shall they be unto thee with whom <0834> thou

hast laboured <03021>, [even] thy merchants <05503>, from thy

youth <05271>: they shall wander <08582> every <0376> one <0376>

to his quarter <05676>; none <0369> shall save <03467> thee.

Isaiah 48

1. Hear <08085> ye this <02063>, O house <01004> of Jacob

<03290>, which are called <07121> by the name <08034> of Israel

<03478>, and are come <03318> forth <03318> out of the waters

<04325> of Judah <03063>, which swear <07650> by the name

<08034> of the LORD <03068>, and make mention <02142> of the God

<0430> of Israel <03478>, [but] not in truth <0571>, nor <03808>

in righteousness <06666>.

2 For they call <07121> themselves of the holy <06944> city

<05892>, and stay <05564> themselves upon the God <0430> of

Israel <03478>; The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> [is] his name

<08034>.

3 I have declared <05046> the former <07223> things from the

beginning <0227>; and they went <03318> forth <03318> out of my

mouth <06310>, and I shewed <08085> them; I did <06213> [them]

suddenly <06597>, and they came <0935> to pass.

4 Because I knew <01847> that thou [art] obstinate <07186>, and

thy neck <06203> [is] an iron <01270> sinew <01517>, and thy

brow <04696> brass <05154>;

5 I have even from the beginning <0227> declared <05046> [it]

to thee; before <02962> it came <0935> to pass I shewed <08085>

[it] thee: lest <06435> thou shouldest say <0559>, Mine idol

<06090> hath done <06213> them, and my graven <06459> image, and

my molten <05262> image, hath commanded <06680> them.

6 Thou hast heard <08085>, see <02372> all <03605> this; and

will not ye declare <05046> [it]? I have shewed <08085> thee new

<02319> things from this time <06258>, even hidden <05341>

things, and thou didst not know <03045> them.

7 They are created <01254> now <06258>, and not from the

beginning <0227>; even before <06440> the day <03117> when thou

heardest <08085> them not; lest <06435> thou shouldest say

<0559>, Behold <02009>, I knew <03045> them.

8 Yea <01571>, thou heardest <08085> not; yea <01571>, thou

knewest <03045> not; yea <01571>, from that time <0227> [that]

thine ear <0241> was not opened <06605>: for I knew <03045> that

thou wouldest deal very <0898> treacherously <0898>, and wast

called <07121> a transgressor <06586> from the womb <0990>.

9. For my name's <08034> sake <04616> will I defer <0748> mine

anger <0639>, and for my praise <08416> will I refrain <02413>

for thee, that I cut <03772> thee not off.

10 Behold <02009>, I have refined <06884> thee, but not with

silver <03701>; I have chosen <0977> thee in the furnace <03564>

of affliction <06040>.

11 For mine own sake <04616>, [even] for mine own sake <04616>,

will I do <06213> [it]: for how <0349> should [my name] be

polluted <02490>? and I will not give <05414> my glory <03519>

unto another <0312>.

12 Hearken <08085> unto me, O Jacob <03290> and Israel <03478>,

my called <07121>; I [am] he; I [am] the first <07223>, I also

<0637> [am] the last <0314>.

13 Mine hand <03027> also <0637> hath laid the foundation

<03245> of the earth <0776>, and my right <03225> hand <03225>

hath spanned <02946> the heavens <08064>: [when] I call <07121>

unto them, they stand <05975> up together <03162>.

14 All <03605> ye, assemble <06908> yourselves, and hear

<08085>; which <04310> among them hath declared <05046> these

<0428> [things]? The LORD <03068> hath loved <0157> him: he will

do <06213> his pleasure <02656> on Babylon <0894>, and his arm

<02220> [shall be on] the Chaldeans <03778>.

15 I, [even] I, have spoken <01696>; yea <0637>, I have called

<07121> him: I have brought <0935> him, and he shall make his

way <01870> prosperous <06743>.

16. Come <07126> ye near <07126> unto me, hear <08085> ye this

<02063>; I have not spoken <01696> in secret <05643> from the

beginning <07218>; from the time <06256> that it was, there

<08033> [am] I: and now <06258> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, and

his Spirit <07307>, hath sent <07971> me.

17 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, thy Redeemer

<01350>, the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>; I [am] the LORD

<03068> thy God <0430> which teacheth <03925> thee to profit

<03276>, which leadeth <01869> thee by the way <01870> [that]

thou shouldest go <03212>.

18 O that thou hadst hearkened <07181> to my commandments

<04687>! then had thy peace <07965> been <01961> as a river

<05104>, and thy righteousness <06666> as the waves <01530> of

the sea <03220>:

19 Thy seed <02233> also had been <01961> as the sand <02344>,

and the offspring <06631> of thy bowels <04578> like the gravel

<04579> thereof; his name <08034> should not have been cut

<03772> off nor <03808> destroyed <08045> from before <06440> me.

20 Go <03318> ye forth <03318> of Babylon <0894>, flee <01272>

ye from the Chaldeans <03778>, with a voice <06963> of singing

<07440> declare <05046> ye, tell <08085> this <02063>, utter

<03318> it [even] to the end <07097> of the earth <0776>; say

<0559> ye, The LORD <03068> hath redeemed <01350> his servant

<05650> Jacob <03290>.

21 And they thirsted <06770> not [when] he led <03212> them

through the deserts <02723>: he caused the waters <04325> to

flow <05140> out of the rock <06697> for them: he clave <01234>

the rock <06697> also, and the waters <04325> gushed <02100> out.

22 [There is] no <0369> peace <07965>, saith <0559> the LORD

<03068>, unto the wicked <07563>.

Isaiah 49

1. Listen <08085>, O isles <0339>, unto me; and hearken <07181>,

ye people <03816>, from far <07350>; The LORD <03068> hath

called <07121> me from the womb <0990>; from the bowels <04578>

of my mother <0517> hath he made mention <02142> of my name

<08034>.

2 And he hath made <07760> my mouth <06310> like a sharp

<02299> sword <02719>; in the shadow <06738> of his hand <03027>

hath he hid <02244> me, and made <07760> me a polished <01305>

shaft <02671>; in his quiver <0827> hath he hid <05641> me;

3 And said <0559> unto me, Thou [art] my servant <05650>, O

Israel <03478>, in whom <0834> I will be glorified <06286>.

4 Then I said <0559>, I have laboured <03021> in vain <07385>,

I have spent <03615> my strength <03581> for nought <08414>, and

in vain <01892>: [yet] surely <0403> my judgment <04941> [is]

with the LORD <03068>, and my work <06468> with my God <0430>.

5 And now <06258>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068> that formed

<03335> me from the womb <0990> [to be] his servant <05650>, to

bring <07725> Jacob <03290> again <07725> to him, Though Israel

<03478> be not gathered <0622>, yet shall I be glorious <03513>

in the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and my God <0430> shall

be my strength <05797>.

6 And he said <0559>, It is a light <07043> thing that thou

shouldest be my servant <05650> to raise <06965> up the tribes

<07626> of Jacob <03290>, and to restore <07725> the preserved

<05336> of Israel <03478>: I will also give <05414> thee for a

light <0216> to the Gentiles <01471>, that thou mayest be my

salvation <03444> unto the end <07097> of the earth <0776>.

7. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, the Redeemer

<01350> of Israel <03478>, [and] his Holy <06918> One, to him

whom man <05315> despiseth <0960>, to him whom the nation

<01471> abhorreth <08581>, to a servant <05650> of rulers

<04910>, Kings <04428> shall see <07200> and arise <06965>,

princes <08269> also shall worship <07812>, because <04616> of

the LORD <03068> that is faithful <0539>, [and] the Holy <06918>

One of Israel <03478>, and he shall choose <0977> thee.

8 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, In an acceptable

<07522> time <06256> have I heard <06030> thee, and in a day

<03117> of salvation <03444> have I helped <05826> thee: and I

will preserve <05341> thee, and give <05414> thee for a covenant

<01285> of the people <05971>, to establish <06965> the earth

<0776>, to cause to inherit <05157> the desolate <08076>

heritages <05159>;

9 That thou mayest say <0559> to the prisoners <0631>, Go

<03318> forth <03318>; to them that [are] in darkness <02822>,

Shew <01540> yourselves. They shall feed <07462> in the ways

<01870>, and their pastures <04830> [shall be] in all <03605>

high <08203> places.

10 They shall not hunger <07456> nor <03808> thirst <06770>;

neither <03808> shall the heat <08273> nor <03808> sun <08121>

smite <05221> them: for he that hath mercy <07355> on them shall

lead <05090> them, even by the springs <04002> of water <04325>

shall he guide <05095> them.

11 And I will make <07760> all <03605> my mountains <02022> a

way <01870>, and my highways <04546> shall be exalted <07311>.

12 Behold <02009>, these <0428> shall come <0935> from far

<07350>: and, lo <02009>, these <0428> from the north <06828>

and from the west <03220>; and these <0428> from the land <0776>

of Sinim <05515>.

13. Sing <07442>, O heavens <08064>; and be joyful <01523>, O

earth <0776>; and break <06476> forth into singing <07440>, O

mountains <02022>: for the LORD <03068> hath comforted <05162>

his people <05971>, and will have mercy <07355> upon his

afflicted <06041>.

14 But Zion <06726> said <0559>, The LORD <03068> hath forsaken

<05800> me, and my Lord <0136> hath forgotten <07913> me.

15 Can a woman <0802> forget <07911> her sucking <05764> child,

that she should not have compassion <07355> on the son <01121>

of her womb <0990>? yea <01571>, they may forget <07911>, yet

will I not forget <07911> thee.

16 Behold <02005>, I have graven <02710> thee upon the palms

<03709> of [my] hands <03709>; thy walls <02346> [are]

continually <08548> before <05048> me.

17 Thy children <01121> shall make haste <04116>; thy

destroyers <02040> and they that made thee waste <02717> shall

go <03318> forth <03318> of thee.

18. Lift <05375> up thine eyes <05869> round <05439> about, and

behold <07200>: all <03605> these gather <06908> themselves

together, [and] come <0935> to thee. [As] I live <02416>, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068>, thou shalt surely <03588> clothe

<03847> thee with them all <03605>, as with an ornament <05716>,

and bind <07194> them [on thee], as a bride <03618> [doeth].

19 For thy waste <02723> and thy desolate <08074> places, and

the land <0776> of thy destruction <02035>, shall even <03588>

now <06258> be too narrow <03334> by reason of the inhabitants

<03427>, and they that swallowed <01104> thee up shall be far

<07368> away.

20 The children <01121> which thou shalt have, after thou hast

lost <07923> the other, shall say <0559> again <05750> in thine

ears <0241>, The place <04725> [is] too strait <06862> for me:

give <05066> place <04725> to me that I may dwell <03427>.

21 Then shalt thou say <0559> in thine heart <03824>, Who

<04310> hath begotten <03205> me these <0428>, seeing I have

lost <07908> my children, and am desolate <01565>, a captive

<01473>, and removing <05493> to and fro? and who <04310> hath

brought <01431> up these <02007>? Behold <02005>, I was left

<07604> alone <0905>; these <0428>, where <0375> [had] they

[been]?

22 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>,

Behold <02009>, I will lift <05375> up mine hand <03027> to the

Gentiles <01471>, and set <07311> up my standard <05251> to the

people <05971>: and they shall bring <0935> thy sons <01121> in

[their] arms <02684>, and thy daughters <01121> shall be carried

<05375> upon [their] shoulders <03802>.

23 And kings <04428> shall be thy nursing <0539> fathers, and

their queens <08282> thy nursing <03243> mothers: they shall bow

<07812> down <07812> to thee with [their] face <0639> toward the

earth <0776>, and lick <03897> up the dust <06083> of thy feet

<07272>; and thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD

<03068>: for they shall not be ashamed <0954> that wait <06960>

for me.

24. Shall the prey <04455> be taken <03947> from the mighty

<01368>, or the lawful <06662> captive <07628> delivered <04422>?

25 But thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, Even <01571>

the captives <07628> of the mighty <01368> shall be taken

<03947> away, and the prey <04455> of the terrible <06184> shall

be delivered <04422>: for I will contend <07378> with him that

contendeth <03401> with thee, and I will save <03467> thy

children <01121>.

26 And I will feed <0398> them that oppress <03238> thee with

their own flesh <01320>; and they shall be drunken <07937> with

their own blood <01818>, as with sweet <06071> wine <06071>: and

all <03605> flesh <01320> shall know <03045> that I the LORD

<03068> [am] thy Saviour <03467> and thy Redeemer <01350>, the

mighty <046> One of Jacob <03290>.

Isaiah 50

1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, Where <0335>

[is] the bill <05612> of your mother's <0517> divorcement

<03748>, whom <0834> I have put <07971> away? or <0176> which

<04310> of my creditors <05383> [is it] to whom <0834> I have

sold <04376> you? Behold <02005>, for your iniquities <05771>

have ye sold <04376> yourselves, and for your transgressions

<06588> is your mother <0517> put <07971> away.

2 Wherefore <04069>, when I came <0935>, [was there] no <0369>

man <0376>? when I called <07121>, [was there] none <0369> to

answer <06030>? Is my hand <03027> shortened <07114> at all,

that it cannot redeem <06304>? or have I no <0369> power <03581>

to deliver <05337>? behold <02005>, at my rebuke <01606> I dry

<02717> up the sea <03220>, I make <07760> the rivers <05103> a

wilderness <04057>: their fish <01710> stinketh <0887>, because

[there is] no <0369> water <04325>, and dieth <04191> for thirst

<06772>.

3 I clothe <03847> the heavens <08064> with blackness <06940>,

and I make <07760> sackcloth <08242> their covering <03682>.

4. The Lord <0136> GOD <03069> hath given <05414> me the tongue

<03956> of the learned <03928>, that I should know <03045> how

to speak <05790> a word <01697> in season to [him that is] weary

<03287>: he wakeneth <05782> morning <01242> by morning <01242>,

he wakeneth <05782> mine ear <0241> to hear <08085> as the

learned <03928>.

5 The Lord <0136> GOD <03069> hath opened <06605> mine ear

<0241>, and I was not rebellious <04784>, neither <03808> turned

<05472> away back <0268>.

6 I gave <05414> my back <01458> to the smiters <05221>, and my

cheeks <03895> to them that plucked <04803> off the hair: I hid

<05641> not my face <06440> from shame <03639> and spitting

<07536>.

7 For the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will help <05826> me;

therefore shall I not be confounded <03637>: therefore have I

set <07760> my face <06440> like a flint <02496>, and I know

<03045> that I shall not be ashamed <0954>.

8 [He is] near <07138> that justifieth <06663> me; who <04310>

will contend <07378> with me? let us stand <05975> together

<03162>: who <04310> [is] mine adversary? let him come <05066>

near <05066> to me.

9 Behold <02005>, the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will help <05826>

me; who <04310> [is] he [that] shall condemn <07561> me? lo

<02005>, they all <03605> shall wax old <01086> as a garment

<0899>; the moth <06211> shall eat <0398> them up.

10. Who <04310> [is] among you that feareth <03373> the LORD

<03068>, that obeyeth <08085> the voice <06963> of his servant

<05650>, that walketh <01980> [in] darkness <02825>, and hath no

<0369> light <05051>? let him trust <0982> in the name <08034>

of the LORD <03068>, and stay <08172> upon his God <0430>.

11 Behold <02005>, all <03605> ye that kindle <06919> a fire

<0784>, that compass <0247> [yourselves] about with sparks

<02131>: walk <03212> in the light <0217> of your fire <0784>,

and in the sparks <02131> [that] ye have kindled <01197>. This

<02063> shall ye have <01961> of mine hand <03027>; ye shall lie

<07901> down <07901> in sorrow <04620>.

Isaiah 51

1. Hearken <08085> to me, ye that follow <07291> after <0310>

righteousness <06664>, ye that seek <01245> the LORD <03068>:

look <05027> unto the rock <06697> [whence] ye are hewn <02672>,

and to the hole <04618> of the pit <0953> [whence] ye are digged

<05365>.

2 Look <05027> unto Abraham <085> your father <01>, and unto

Sarah <08283> [that] bare <02342> you: for I called <07121> him

alone <0259>, and blessed <01288> him, and increased <07235> him.

3 For the LORD <03068> shall comfort <05162> Zion <06726>: he

will comfort <05162> all <03605> her waste <02723> places; and

he will make <07760> her wilderness <04057> like Eden <05731>,

and her desert <06160> like the garden <01588> of the LORD

<03068>; joy <08342> and gladness <08057> shall be found <04672>

therein, thanksgiving <08426>, and the voice <06963> of melody

<02172>.

4. Hearken <07181> unto me, my people <05971>; and give ear

<0238> unto me, O my nation <03816>: for a law <08451> shall

proceed <03318> from me, and I will make my judgment <04941> to

rest <07280> for a light <0216> of the people <05971>.

5 My righteousness <06664> [is] near <07138>; my salvation

<03468> is gone <03318> forth <03318>, and mine arms <02220>

shall judge <08199> the people <05971>; the isles <0339> shall

wait <06960> upon me, and on <0413> mine arm <02220> shall they

trust <03176>.

6 Lift <05375> up your eyes <05869> to the heavens <08064>, and

look <05027> upon the earth <0776> beneath <08478>: for the

heavens <08064> shall vanish <04414> away like smoke <06227>,

and the earth <0776> shall wax old <01086> like a garment <0899>,

and they that dwell <03427> therein shall die <04191> in like

<03644> manner <03654>: but my salvation <03444> shall be for

ever <05769>, and my righteousness <06666> shall not be

abolished <02865>.

7 Hearken <08085> unto me, ye that know <03045> righteousness

<06664>, the people <05971> in whose heart <03820> [is] my law

<08451>; fear <03372> ye not the reproach <02781> of men <0582>,

neither <0408> be ye afraid <02865> of their revilings <01421>.

8 For the moth <06211> shall eat <0398> them up like a garment

<0899>, and the worm <05580> shall eat <0398> them like wool

<06785>: but my righteousness <06666> shall be for ever <05769>,

and my salvation <03444> from generation <01755> to generation

<01755>.

9. Awake <05782>, awake <05782>, put <03847> on strength

<05797>, O arm <02220> of the LORD <03068>; awake <05782>, as in

the ancient <06924> days <03117>, in the generations <01755> of

old <05769>. [Art] thou not it that hath cut <02672> Rahab

<07294>, [and] wounded <02490> the dragon <08577>?

10 [Art] thou not it which hath dried <02717> the sea <03220>,

the waters <04325> of the great <07227> deep <08415>; that hath

made <07760> the depths <04615> of the sea <03220> a way <01870>

for the ransomed <01350> to pass <05674> over <05674>?

11 Therefore the redeemed <06299> of the LORD <03068> shall

return <07725>, and come <0935> with singing <07440> unto Zion

<06726>; and everlasting <05769> joy <08057> [shall be] upon

their head <07218>: they shall obtain <05381> gladness <08057>

and joy <08057>; [and] sorrow <03015> and mourning <0585> shall

flee <05127> away.

12 I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth <05162> you: who

<04310> [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid <03372> of a

man <0582> [that] shall die <04191>, and of the son <01121> of

man <0120> [which] shall be made <05414> [as] grass <02682>;

13 And forgettest <07911> the LORD <03068> thy maker <06213>,

that hath stretched <05186> forth the heavens <08064>, and laid

the foundations <03245> of the earth <0776>; and hast feared

<06342> continually <08548> every <03605> day <03117> because

<06440> of the fury <02534> of the oppressor <06693>, as if he

were ready <03559> to destroy <07843>? and where <0346> [is] the

fury <02534> of the oppressor <06693>?

14 The captive <06808> exile <06808> hasteneth <04116> that he

may be loosed <06605>, and that he should not die <04191> in the

pit <07845>, nor <03808> that his bread <03899> should fail

<02637>.

15 But I [am] the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, that divided

<07280> the sea <03220>, whose waves <01530> roared <01993>: The

LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> [is] his name <08034>.

16 And I have put <07760> my words <01697> in thy mouth <06310>,

and I have covered <03680> thee in the shadow <06738> of mine

hand <03027>, that I may plant <05193> the heavens <08064>, and

lay the foundations <03245> of the earth <0776>, and say <0559>

unto Zion <06726>, Thou [art] my people <05971>.

17. Awake <05782>, awake <05782>, stand <06965> up, O Jerusalem

<03389>, which <0834> hast drunk <08354> at the hand <03027> of

the LORD <03068> the cup <03563> of his fury <02534>; thou hast

drunken <08354> the dregs <06907> of the cup <03563> of

trembling <08653>, [and] wrung <04680> [them] out.

18 [There is] none <0369> to guide <05095> her among all

<03605> the sons <01121> [whom] she hath brought <03205> forth

<03205>; neither <0369> [is there any] that taketh <02388> her

by the hand <03027> of all <03605> the sons <01121> [that] she

hath brought <01431> up.

19 These <02007> two <08147> [things] are come <07122> unto

thee; who <04310> shall be sorry <05110> for thee? desolation

<07701>, and destruction <07667>, and the famine <07458>, and

the sword <02719>: by whom <04310> shall I comfort <05162> thee?

20 Thy sons <01121> have fainted <05968>, they lie <07901> at

the head <07218> of all <03605> the streets <02351>, as a wild

<08377> bull <08377> in a net <04364>: they are full <04392> of

the fury <02534> of the LORD <03068>, the rebuke <01606> of thy

God <0430>.

21 Therefore <03651> hear <08085> now <04994> this <02063>,

thou afflicted <06041>, and drunken <07937>, but not with wine

<03196>:

22 Thus <03541> saith <0559> thy Lord <0113> the LORD <03068>,

and thy God <0430> [that] pleadeth <07378> the cause of his

people <05971>, Behold <02009>, I have taken <03947> out of

thine hand <03027> the cup <03563> of trembling <08653>, [even]

the dregs <06907> of the cup <03563> of my fury <02534>; thou

shalt no <03808> more <03254> drink <08354> it again <05750>:

23 But I will put <07760> it into the hand <03027> of them that

afflict <03013> thee; which <0834> have said <0559> to thy soul

<05315>, Bow <07812> down <07812>, that we may go <05674> over

<05674>: and thou hast laid <07760> thy body <01460> as the

ground <0776>, and as the street <02351>, to them that went

<05674> over <05674>.

Isaiah 52

1. Awake <05782>, awake <05782>; put <03847> on thy strength

<05797>, O Zion <06726>; put <03847> on thy beautiful <08597>

garments <0899>, O Jerusalem <03389>, the holy <06944> city

<05892>: for henceforth <06258> there shall no <03808> more come

<0935> into thee the uncircumcised <06189> and the unclean

<02931>.

2 Shake <05287> thyself from the dust <06083>; arise <06965>,

[and] sit <03427> down, O Jerusalem <03389>: loose <06605>

thyself from the bands <04147> of thy neck <06677>, O captive

<07628> daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>.

3 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, Ye have sold

<04376> yourselves for nought <02600>; and ye shall be redeemed

<01350> without <03808> money <03701>.

4 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, My

people <05971> went <03381> down <03381> aforetime <07223> into

Egypt <04714> to sojourn <01481> there <08033>; and the Assyrian

<0804> oppressed <06231> them without <0657> cause <0657>.

5 Now <06258> therefore, what <04100> have I here <06311>,

saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, that my people <05971> is taken

<03947> away for nought <02600>? they that rule <04910> over

them make them to howl <03213>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>;

and my name <08034> continually <08548> every <03605> day

<03117> [is] blasphemed <05006>.

6 Therefore <03651> my people <05971> shall know <03045> my

name <08034>: therefore <03651> [they shall know] in that day

<03117> that I [am] he that doth speak <01696>: behold <02009>,

[it is] I.

7. How <04100> beautiful <04998> upon the mountains <02022> are

the feet <07272> of him that bringeth <01319> good <02896>

tidings <01319>, that publisheth <08085> peace <07965>; that

bringeth <01319> good <02896> tidings <01319> of good <02896>,

that publisheth <08085> salvation <03444>; that saith <0559>

unto Zion <06726>, Thy God <0430> reigneth <04427>!

8 Thy watchmen <06822> shall lift <05375> up the voice <06963>;

with the voice <06963> together <03162> shall they sing <07442>:

for they shall see <07200> eye <05869> to eye <05869>, when the

LORD <03068> shall bring <07725> again <07725> Zion <06726>.

9 Break <06476> forth into joy, sing <07442> together <03162>,

ye waste <02723> places of Jerusalem <03389>: for the LORD

<03068> hath comforted <05162> his people <05971>, he hath

redeemed <01350> Jerusalem <03389>.

10 The LORD <03068> hath made bare <02834> his holy <06944> arm

<02220> in the eyes <05869> of all <03605> the nations <01471>;

and all <03605> the ends <0657> of the earth <0776> shall see

<07200> the salvation <03444> of our God <0430>.

11 Depart <05493> ye, depart <05493> ye, go <03318> ye out from

thence <08033>, touch <05060> no <0408> unclean <02931> [thing];

go <03318> ye out of the midst <08432> of her; be ye clean

<01305>, that bear <05375> the vessels <03627> of the LORD

<03068>.

12 For ye shall not go <03318> out with haste <02649>, nor

<03808> go <03212> by flight <04499>: for the LORD <03068> will

go <01980> before <06440> you; and the God <0430> of Israel

<03478> [will be] your rereward <0622>.

13. Behold <02009>, my servant <05650> shall deal prudently

<07919>, he shall be exalted <07311> and extolled <05375>, and

be very <03966> high <01361>.

14 As many <07227> were astonied <08074> at thee; his visage

<04758> was so marred <04893> more than any man <0376>, and his

form <08389> more than the sons <01121> of men <0120>:

15 So <03651> shall he sprinkle <05137> many <07227> nations

<01471>; the kings <04428> shall shut <07092> their mouths

<06310> at him: for [that] which <0834> had not been told

<05608> them shall they see <07200>; and [that] which <0834>

they had not heard <08085> shall they consider <0995>.

Isaiah 53

1. Who <04310> hath believed <0539> our report <08052>? and to

whom <04310> is the arm <02220> of the LORD <03068> revealed

<01540>?

2 For he shall grow <05927> up before <06440> him as a tender

<03126> plant, and as a root <08328> out of a dry <06723> ground

<0776>: he hath no <03808> form <08389> nor <03808> comeliness

<01926>; and when we shall see <07200> him, [there is] no

<03808> beauty <04758> that we should desire <02530> him.

3 He is despised <0959> and rejected <02310> of men <0376>; a

man <0376> of sorrows <04341>, and acquainted <03045> with grief

<02483>: and we hid <05641> as it were [our] faces <06440> from

him; he was despised <0959>, and we esteemed him not.

4. Surely <0403> he hath borne <05375> our griefs <02483>, and

carried <05445> our sorrows <04341>: yet we did esteem <02803>

him stricken <05060>, smitten <05221> of God <0430>, and

afflicted <06031>.

5 But he [was] wounded <02490> for our transgressions <06588>,

[he was] bruised <01792> for our iniquities <05771>: the

chastisement <04148> of our peace <07965> [was] upon him; and

with his stripes <02250> we are healed <07495>.

6 All <03605> we like sheep <06629> have gone <08582> astray

<08582>; we have turned <06437> every <0376> one <0376> to his

own way <01870>; and the LORD <03068> hath laid <06293> on him

the iniquity <05771> of us all <03605>.

7 He was oppressed <05065>, and he was afflicted <06031>, yet

he opened <06605> not his mouth <06310>: he is brought <02986>

as a lamb <07716> to the slaughter <02875>, and as a sheep

<07353> before <06440> her shearers <01494> is dumb <0481>, so

he openeth <06605> not his mouth <06310>.

8 He was taken <03947> from prison <06115> and from judgment

<04941>: and who <04310> shall declare <07878> his generation

<01755>? for he was cut <01504> off out of the land <0776> of

the living <02416>: for the transgression <06588> of my people

<05971> was he stricken <05061>.

9 And he made <05414> his grave <06913> with the wicked <07563>,

and with the rich <06223> in his death <04194>; because <05921>

he had done <06213> no <03808> violence <02555>, neither <03808>

[was any] deceit <04820> in his mouth <06310>.

10. Yet it pleased <02654> the LORD <03068> to bruise <01792>

him; he hath put [him] to grief <02470>: when <0518> thou shalt

make <07760> his soul <05315> an offering for sin <0817>, he

shall see <07200> [his] seed <02233>, he shall prolong <0748>

[his] days <03117>, and the pleasure <02656> of the LORD <03068>

shall prosper <06743> in his hand <03027>.

11 He shall see <07200> of the travail <05999> of his soul

<05315>, [and] shall be satisfied <07646>: by his knowledge

<01847> shall my righteous <06662> servant <05650> justify

<06663> many <07227>; for he shall bear <05445> their iniquities

<05771>.

12 Therefore <03651> will I divide <05312> him [a portion] with

the great <07227>, and he shall divide <05312> the spoil <07998>

with the strong <06099>; because he hath poured <06168> out his

soul <05315> unto death <04194>: and he was numbered <04487>

with the transgressors <06586>; and he bare <05375> the sin

<02399> of many <07227>, and made intercession <06293> for the

transgressors <06586>.

Isaiah 54

1. Sing <07442>, O barren <06135>, thou [that] didst not bear

<05375>; break <06476> forth into singing <07440>, and cry

<06670> aloud <06670>, thou [that] didst not travail <02342>

with child: for more <07227> [are] the children <01121> of the

desolate <08074> than the children <01121> of the married

<01166> wife, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>.

2 Enlarge <07337> the place <04725> of thy tent <0168>, and let

them stretch <05186> forth the curtains <03407> of thine

habitations <04908>: spare <02820> not, lengthen <0748> thy

cords <04340>, and strengthen <02388> thy stakes <03489>;

3 For thou shalt break <06555> forth on the right <03225> hand

<03225> and on the left <08040>; and thy seed <02233> shall

inherit <03423> the Gentiles <01471>, and make the desolate

<08077> cities <05892> to be inhabited <03427>.

4 Fear <03372> not; for thou shalt not be ashamed <0954>:

neither <0408> be thou confounded <03637>; for thou shalt not be

put to shame <02659>: for thou shalt forget <07911> the shame

<01322> of thy youth <05934>, and shalt not remember <02142> the

reproach <02781> of thy widowhood <0491> any more <05750>.

5 For thy Maker <06213> [is] thine husband <01167>; the LORD

<03068> of hosts <06635> [is] his name <08034>; and thy Redeemer

<01350> the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>; The God <0430>

of the whole <03605> earth <0776> shall he be called <07121>.

6. For the LORD <03068> hath called <07121> thee as a woman

<0802> forsaken <05800> and grieved <06087> in spirit <07307>,

and a wife <0802> of youth <05271>, when <03588> thou wast

refused <03988>, saith <0559> thy God <0430>.

7 For a small <06996> moment <07281> have I forsaken <05800>

thee; but with great <01419> mercies <07356> will I gather

<06908> thee.

8 In a little <08241> wrath <07110> I hid <05641> my face

<06440> from thee for a moment <07281>; but with everlasting

<05769> kindness <02617> will I have mercy <07355> on thee,

saith <0559> the LORD <03068> thy Redeemer <01350>.

9 For this <02063> [is as] the waters <04325> of Noah <05146>

unto me: for [as] I have sworn <07650> that the waters <04325>

of Noah <05146> should no more <05750> go <05674> over <05674>

the earth <0776>; so <03651> have I sworn <07650> that I would

not be wroth <07107> with thee, nor rebuke <01605> thee.

10 For the mountains <02022> shall depart <04185>, and the

hills <01389> be removed <04131>; but my kindness <02617> shall

not depart <04185> from thee, neither <03808> shall the covenant

<01285> of my peace <07965> be removed <04131>, saith <0559> the

LORD <03068> that hath mercy <07355> on thee.

11. O thou afflicted <06041>, tossed with tempest <05590>,

[and] not comforted <05162>, behold <02009>, I will lay <07257>

thy stones <068> with fair <06320> colours <06320>, and lay thy

foundations <03245> with sapphires <05601>.

12 And I will make <07760> thy windows <08121> of agates

<03539>, and thy gates <08179> of carbuncles <068>, and all

<03605> thy borders <01366> of pleasant <02656> stones <068>.

13 And all <03605> thy children <01121> [shall be] taught

<03928> of the LORD <03068>; and great <07227> [shall be] the

peace <07965> of thy children <01121>.

14 In righteousness <06666> shalt thou be established <03559>:

thou shalt be far <07368> from oppression <06233>; for thou

shalt not fear <03372>: and from terror <04288>; for it shall

not come <07126> near <07126> thee.

15 Behold <02005>, they shall surely gather <01481> together,

[but] not by me: whosoever <04310> shall gather <01481> together

against <05921> thee shall fall <05307> for thy sake <04616>.

16 Behold <02005>, I have created <01254> the smith <02796>

that bloweth <05301> the coals <06352> in the fire <0784>, and

that bringeth <03318> forth <04161> an instrument <03627> for

his work <04639>; and I have created <01254> the waster <07843>

to destroy <02254>.

17 No <03808> weapon <03627> that is formed <03335> against

<05921> thee shall prosper <06743>; and every <03605> tongue

<03956> [that] shall rise <06965> against thee in judgment

<04941> thou shalt condemn <07561>. This <02063> [is] the

heritage <05159> of the servants <05650> of the LORD <03068>,

and their righteousness <06666> [is] of me, saith <05002> the

LORD <03068>.

Isaiah 55

1. Ho <01945>, every <03605> one that thirsteth <06771>, come

<03212> ye to the waters <04325>, and he that hath no <0369>

money <03701>; come <03212> ye, buy <07666>, and eat <0398>; yea,

come <03212>, buy <07666> wine <03196> and milk <02461> without

<03808> money <03701> and without <03808> price <04242>.

2 Wherefore <04100> do ye spend <08254> money <03701> for [that

which <0834> is] not bread <03899>? and your labour <03018> for

[that which <0834>] satisfieth <07654> not? hearken <08085>

diligently unto me, and eat <0398> ye [that which <0834> is]

good <02896>, and let your soul <05315> delight <06026> itself

in fatness <01880>.

3 Incline <05186> your ear <0241>, and come <03212> unto me:

hear <08085>, and your soul <05315> shall live <02421>; and I

will make <03772> an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285> with

you, [even] the sure <0539> mercies <02617> of David <01732>.

4 Behold <02005>, I have given <05414> him [for] a witness

<05707> to the people <03816>, a leader <05057> and commander

<06680> to the people <03816>.

5 Behold <02005>, thou shalt call <07121> a nation <01471>

[that] thou knowest <03045> not, and nations <01471> [that] knew

<03045> not thee shall run <07323> unto thee because <04616> of

the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, and for the Holy <06918> One of

Israel <03478>; for he hath glorified <06286> thee.

6. Seek <01875> ye the LORD <03068> while he may be found

<04672>, call <07121> ye upon him while he is near <07138>:

7 Let the wicked <07563> forsake <05800> his way <01870>, and

the unrighteous <0205> man <0376> his thoughts <04284>: and let

him return <07725> unto the LORD <03068>, and he will have mercy

<07355> upon him; and to our God <0430>, for he will abundantly

<07235> pardon <05545>.

8 For my thoughts <04284> [are] not your thoughts <04284>,

neither <03808> [are] your ways <01870> my ways <01870>, saith

<05002> the LORD <03068>.

9 For [as] the heavens <08064> are higher <01361> than the

earth <0776>, so <03651> are my ways <01870> higher <01361> than

your ways <01870>, and my thoughts <04284> than your thoughts

<04284>.

10 For as the rain <01653> cometh <03381> down <03381>, and the

snow <07950> from heaven <08064>, and returneth <07725> not

thither <08033>, but watereth <07301> the earth <0776>, and

maketh it bring <03205> forth <03205> and bud <06779>, that it

may give <05414> seed <02233> to the sower <02232>, and bread

<03899> to the eater <0398>:

11 So <03651> shall my word <01697> be that goeth <03318> forth

<03318> out of my mouth <06310>: it shall not return <07725>

unto me void <07387>, but it shall accomplish <06213> that which

<0834> I please <02654>, and it shall prosper <06743> [in the

thing] whereto <0834> I sent <07971> it.

12 For ye shall go <03318> out with joy <08057>, and be led

<02986> forth <02986> with peace <07965>: the mountains <02022>

and the hills <01389> shall break <06476> forth before <06440>

you into singing <07440>, and all <03605> the trees <06086> of

the field <07704> shall clap <04222> [their] hands <03709>.

13 Instead <08478> of the thorn <05285> shall come <05927> up

the fir <01265> tree, and instead <08478> of the brier <05636>

shall come <05927> up the myrtle <01918> tree: and it shall be

to the LORD <03068> for a name <08034>, for an everlasting

<05769> sign <0226> [that] shall not be cut <03772> off.

Isaiah 56

1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, Keep <08104> ye

judgment <04941>, and do <06213> justice <06666>: for my

salvation <03444> [is] near <07138> to come <0935>, and my

righteousness <06666> to be revealed <01540>.

2 Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0582> [that] doeth <06213> this

<02063>, and the son <01121> of man <0120> [that] layeth hold

<02388> on it; that keepeth <08104> the sabbath <07676> from

polluting <02490> it, and keepeth <08104> his hand <03027> from

doing <06213> any <03605> evil <07451>.

3. Neither <0408> let the son <01121> of the stranger <05236>,

that hath joined <03867> himself to the LORD <03068>, speak

<0559>, saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> hath utterly separated

<0914> me from his people <05971>: neither <0408> let the eunuch

<05631> say <0559>, Behold <02005>, I [am] a dry <03002> tree

<06086>.

4 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> unto the

eunuchs <05631> that keep <08104> my sabbaths <07676>, and

choose <0977> [the things] that please <02654> me, and take

<02388> hold <02388> of my covenant <01285>;

5 Even unto them will I give <05414> in mine house <01004> and

within my walls <02346> a place <03027> and a name <08034>

better <02896> than of sons <01121> and of daughters <01121>: I

will give <05414> them an everlasting <05769> name <08034>, that

shall not be cut <03772> off.

6 Also the sons <01121> of the stranger <05236>, that join

<03867> themselves to the LORD <03068>, to serve <08334> him,

and to love <0157> the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, to be

his servants <05650>, every <03605> one that keepeth <08104> the

sabbath <07676> from polluting <02490> it, and taketh <02388>

hold <02388> of my covenant <01285>;

7 Even them will I bring <0935> to my holy <06944> mountain

<02022>, and make them joyful <08055> in my house <01004> of

prayer <08605>: their burnt <05930> offerings and their

sacrifices <02077> [shall be] accepted <07522> upon mine altar

<04196>; for mine house <01004> shall be called <07121> an house

<01004> of prayer <08605> for all <03605> people <05971>.

8 The Lord <0136> GOD <03069> which gathereth <06908> the

outcasts <01760> of Israel <03478> saith <05002>, Yet <05750>

will I gather <06908> [others] to him, beside those that are

gathered <06908> unto him.

9. All <03605> ye beasts <02416> of the field <07704>, come

<0857> to devour <0398>, [yea], all <03605> ye beasts <02416> in

the forest <03293>.

10 His watchmen <06822> [are] blind <05787>: they are all

<03605> ignorant, they [are] all <03605> dumb <0483> dogs

<03611>, they cannot bark <05024>; sleeping <01957>, lying

<07901> down <07901>, loving <0157> to slumber <05123>.

11 Yea, [they are] greedy dogs <03611> [which] can <03045>

never <03808> have <03045> enough <07654>, and they [are]

shepherds <07462> [that] cannot understand <0995>: they all

<03605> look <06437> to their own way <01870>, every <0376> one

<0376> for his gain <01214>, from his quarter <07098>.

12 Come <0857> ye, [say they], I will fetch <03947> wine

<03196>, and we will fill <04390> ourselves with strong drink

<07941>; and to morrow <04279> shall be as this <02088> day

<03117>, [and] much <03966> more <03499> abundant <01419>.

Isaiah 57

1. The righteous <06662> perisheth <06>, and no <0369> man

<0376> layeth <07760> [it] to heart <03820>: and merciful

<02617> men <0582> [are] taken <0622> away, none <0369>

considering <0995> that the righteous <06662> is taken <0622>

away from the evil <07451> [to come].

2 He shall enter <0935> into peace <07965>: they shall rest

<05117> in their beds <04904>, [each one] walking <01980> [in]

his uprightness <05228>.

3. But draw near <07126> hither, ye sons <01121> of the

sorceress <06049>, the seed <02233> of the adulterer <05003> and

the whore <02181>.

4 Against <05921> whom <04310> do ye sport <06026> yourselves?

against <05921> whom <04310> make ye a wide <07337> mouth

<06310>, [and] draw <0748> out the tongue <03956>? [are] ye not

children <03206> of transgression <06588>, a seed <02233> of

falsehood <08267>,

5 Enflaming <02552> yourselves with idols <0410> under <08478>

every <03605> green <07488> tree <06086>, slaying <07819> the

children <03206> in the valleys <05158> under <08478> the clifts

<05585> of the rocks <05553>?

6 Among the smooth <02511> [stones] of the stream <05158> [is]

thy portion <02506>; they, they [are] thy lot <01486>: even

<01571> to them hast thou poured <08210> a drink <05262>

offering, thou hast offered <05927> a meat offering <04503>.

Should I receive <05162> comfort <05162> in these <0428>?

7 Upon a lofty <01364> and high <05375> mountain <02022> hast

thou set <07760> thy bed <04904>: even <01571> thither <08033>

wentest <05927> thou up to offer <02076> sacrifice <02077>.

8 Behind <0310> the doors <01817> also and the posts <04201>

hast thou set <07760> up thy remembrance <02146>: for thou hast

discovered <01540> [thyself to another] than me, and art gone

<05927> up; thou hast enlarged <07337> thy bed <04904>, and made

<03772> thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst <0157> their

bed <04904> where <03027> thou sawest <02372> [it].

9 And thou wentest <07788> to the king <04428> with ointment

<08081>, and didst increase <07235> thy perfumes <07547>, and

didst send <07971> thy messengers <06735> far <07350> off, and

didst debase <08213> [thyself even] unto hell <07585>.

10 Thou art wearied <03021> in the greatness <07230> of thy way

<01870>; [yet] saidst <0559> thou not, There is no hope <02976>:

thou hast found <04672> the life <02416> of thine hand <03027>;

therefore thou wast not grieved <02470>.

11 And of whom <04310> hast thou been afraid <01672> or feared

<03372>, that thou hast lied <03576>, and hast not remembered

<02142> me, nor <03808> laid <07760> [it] to thy heart <03820>?

have not I held <02814> my peace <02814> even of old <05769>,

and thou fearest <03372> me not?

12 I will declare <05046> thy righteousness <06666>, and thy

works <04639>; for they shall not profit <03276> thee.

13. When thou criest <02199>, let thy companies deliver <05337>

thee; but the wind <07307> shall carry <05375> them all <03605>

away; vanity <01892> shall take <03947> [them]: but he that

putteth his trust <02620> in me shall possess <05157> the land

<0776>, and shall inherit <03423> my holy <06944> mountain

<02022>;

14 And shall say <0559>, Cast <05549> ye up, cast <05549> ye up,

prepare <06437> the way <01870>, take <07311> up the

stumblingblock <04383> out of the way <01870> of my people

<05971>.

15 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the high <07311> and lofty

<05375> One that inhabiteth <07931> eternity <05703>, whose name

<08034> [is] Holy <06918>; I dwell <07931> in the high <04791>

and holy <06918> [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite

<01793> and humble <08217> spirit <07307>, to revive <02421> the

spirit <07307> of the humble <08217>, and to revive <02421> the

heart <03820> of the contrite <01792> ones.

16 For I will not contend <07378> for ever <05769>, neither

<03808> will I be always <05331> wroth <07107>: for the spirit

<07307> should fail <05848> before <06440> me, and the souls

<05397> [which] I have made <06213>.

17. For the iniquity <05771> of his covetousness <01215> was I

wroth <07107>, and smote <05221> him: I hid <05641> me, and was

wroth <07107>, and he went <03212> on frowardly <07726> in the

way <01870> of his heart <03820>.

18 I have seen <07200> his ways <01870>, and will heal <07495>

him: I will lead <05148> him also, and restore <07999> comforts

<05150> unto him and to his mourners <057>.

19 I create <01254> the fruit <05108> of the lips <08193>;

Peace <07965>, peace <07965> to [him that is] far <07350> off,

and to [him that is] near <07138>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>;

and I will heal <07495> him.

20 But the wicked <07563> [are] like the troubled <01644> sea

<03220>, when <03588> it cannot rest <08252>, whose waters

<04325> cast <01644> up mire <07516> and dirt <02916>.

21 [There is] no <0369> peace <07965>, saith <0559> my God

<0430>, to the wicked <07563>.

Isaiah 58

1. Cry <07121> aloud <01627>, spare <02820> not, lift <07311>

up thy voice <06963> like a trumpet <07782>, and shew <05046> my

people <05971> their transgression <06588>, and the house

<01004> of Jacob <03290> their sins <02403>.

2 Yet they seek <01875> me daily <03117>, and delight <02654>

to know <01847> my ways <01870>, as a nation <01471> that did

<06213> righteousness <06666>, and forsook <05800> not the

ordinance <04941> of their God <0430>: they ask <07592> of me

the ordinances <04941> of justice <06664>; they take delight

<02654> in approaching <07132> to God <0430>.

3. Wherefore <04100> have we fasted <06684>, [say they], and

thou seest <07200> not? [wherefore] have we afflicted <06031>

our soul <05315>, and thou takest no <03808> knowledge <03045>?

Behold <02005>, in the day <03117> of your fast <06685> ye find

<04672> pleasure <02656>, and exact <05065> all <03605> your

labours <06092>.

4 Behold <02005>, ye fast <06684> for strife <07379> and debate

<04683>, and to smite <05221> with the fist <0106> of wickedness

<07562>: ye shall not fast <06684> as [ye do this] day <03117>,

to make your voice <06963> to be heard <08085> on high <04791>.

5 Is it such <02088> a fast <06685> that I have chosen <0977>?

a day <03117> for a man <0120> to afflict <06031> his soul

<05315>? [is it] to bow <03721> down his head <07218> as a

bulrush <0100>, and to spread <03331> sackcloth <08242> and

ashes <0665> [under him]? wilt thou call <07121> this <02088> a

fast <06685>, and an acceptable <07522> day <03117> to the LORD

<03068>?

6 [Is] not this <02088> the fast <06685> that I have chosen

<0977>? to loose <06605> the bands <02784> of wickedness <07562>,

to undo <05425> the heavy <04133> burdens <092>, and to let the

oppressed <07533> go <07971> free <02670>, and that ye break

<05423> every <03605> yoke <04133>?

7 [Is it] not to deal <06536> thy bread <03899> to the hungry

<07456>, and that thou bring <0935> the poor <06041> that are

cast <04788> out to thy house <01004>? when <03588> thou seest

<07200> the naked <06174>, that thou cover <03680> him; and that

thou hide <05956> not thyself from thine own flesh <01320>?

8. Then <0227> shall thy light <0216> break <01234> forth as

the morning <07837>, and thine health <0724> shall spring

<06779> forth speedily <04120>: and thy righteousness <06664>

shall go <01980> before <06440> thee; the glory <03519> of the

LORD <03068> shall be thy rereward <0622>.

9 Then <0227> shalt thou call <07121>, and the LORD <03068>

shall answer <06030>; thou shalt cry <07768>, and he shall say

<0559>, Here <02009> I [am]. If thou take <05493> away <05493>

from the midst <08432> of thee the yoke <04133>, the putting

<07971> forth <07971> of the finger <0676>, and speaking <01696>

vanity <0205>;

10 And [if] thou draw <06329> out thy soul <05315> to the

hungry <07456>, and satisfy <07646> the afflicted <06031> soul

<05315>; then shall thy light <0216> rise <02224> in obscurity

<02822>, and thy darkness <0653> [be] as the noonday <06672>:

11 And the LORD <03068> shall guide <05148> thee continually

<08548>, and satisfy <07646> thy soul <05315> in drought <06710>,

and make fat <02502> thy bones <06106>: and thou shalt be like

a watered <07302> garden <01588>, and like a spring <04161> of

water <04325>, whose <0834> waters <04325> fail <03576> not.

12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build <01129> the old

<05769> waste <02723> places: thou shalt raise <06965> up the

foundations <04146> of many generations <01755>; and thou shalt

be called <07121>, The repairer <01443> of the breach <06556>,

The restorer <07725> of paths <05410> to dwell <03427> in.

13. If <0518> thou turn <07725> away thy foot <07272> from the

sabbath <07676>, [from] doing <06213> thy pleasure <02656> on my

holy <06944> day <03117>; and call <07121> the sabbath <07676> a

delight <06027>, the holy <06918> of the LORD <03068>,

honourable <03513>; and shalt honour <03513> him, not doing

<06213> thine own ways <01870>, nor finding <04672> thine own

pleasure <02656>, nor speaking <01696> [thine own] words <01697>:

14 Then <0227> shalt thou delight <06026> thyself in the LORD

<03068>; and I will cause thee to ride <07392> upon the high

<01116> places of the earth <0776>, and feed <0398> thee with

the heritage <05159> of Jacob <03290> thy father <01>: for the

mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> [it].

Isaiah 59

1. Behold <02005>, the LORD'S <03068> hand <03027> is not

shortened <07114>, that it cannot <03808> save <03467>; neither

<03808> his ear <0241> heavy <03513>, that it cannot <03808>

hear <08085>:

2 But your iniquities <05771> have separated <0914> between

<0996> you and your God <0430>, and your sins <02403> have hid

<05641> [his] face <06440> from you, that he will not hear

<08085>.

3 For your hands <03709> are defiled <01351> with blood <01818>,

and your fingers <0676> with iniquity <05771>; your lips

<08193> have spoken <01696> lies <08267>, your tongue <03956>

hath muttered <01897> perverseness <05766>.

4 None <0369> calleth <07121> for justice <06664>, nor <0369>

[any] pleadeth <08199> for truth <0530>: they trust <0982> in

vanity <08414>, and speak <01696> lies <07723>; they conceive

<02029> mischief <05999>, and bring <03205> forth <03205>

iniquity <0205>.

5 They hatch <01234> cockatrice <06848>' eggs <01000>, and

weave <0707> the spider's <05908> web <06980>: he that eateth

<0398> of their eggs <01000> dieth <04191>, and that which is

crushed <02116> breaketh <01234> out into a viper <0660>.

6 Their webs <06980> shall not become <01961> garments <0899>,

neither <03808> shall they cover <03680> themselves with their

works <04639>: their works <04639> [are] works <04639> of

iniquity <0205>, and the act <06467> of violence <02555> [is] in

their hands <03709>.

7 Their feet <07272> run <07323> to evil <07451>, and they make

haste <04116> to shed <08210> innocent <05355> blood <01818>:

their thoughts <04284> [are] thoughts <04284> of iniquity <0205>;

wasting <07701> and destruction <07667> [are] in their paths

<04546>.

8 The way <01870> of peace <07965> they know <03045> not; and

[there is] no <0369> judgment <04941> in their goings <04570>:

they have made them crooked <06140> paths <05410>: whosoever

<03605> goeth <01869> therein shall not know <03045> peace

<07965>.

9. Therefore is judgment <04941> far <07368> from us, neither

<03808> doth justice <06666> overtake <05381> us: we wait

<06960> for light <0216>, but behold <02009> obscurity <02822>;

for brightness <05054>, [but] we walk <01980> in darkness <0653>.

10 We grope <01659> for the wall <07023> like the blind <05787>,

and we grope <01659> as if [we had] no <0369> eyes <05869>: we

stumble <03782> at noonday <06672> as in the night <05399>; [we

are] in desolate <0820> places as dead <04191> [men].

11 We roar <01993> all <03605> like bears <01677>, and mourn

<01897> sore like doves <03123>: we look <06960> for judgment

<04941>, but [there is] none <0369>; for salvation <03444>,

[but] it is far <07368> off from us.

12 For our transgressions <06588> are multiplied <07231> before

<05048> thee, and our sins <02403> testify <06030> against us:

for our transgressions <06588> [are] with us; and [as for] our

iniquities <05771>, we know <03045> them;

13 In transgressing <06586> and lying <03584> against the LORD

<03068>, and departing <05253> away from our God <0430>,

speaking <01696> oppression <06233> and revolt <05627>,

conceiving <02030> and uttering <01897> from the heart <03820>

words <01697> of falsehood <08267>.

14 And judgment <04941> is turned <05253> away backward <0268>,

and justice <06666> standeth <05975> afar <07350> off: for truth

<0571> is fallen <03782> in the street <07339>, and equity

<05229> cannot enter <0935>.

15 Yea, truth <0571> faileth <05737>; and he [that] departeth

<05493> from evil <07451> maketh himself a prey <07997>: and the

LORD <03068> saw <07200> [it], and it displeased him that [there

was] no <0369> judgment <04941>.

16. And he saw <07200> that [there was] no <0369> man <0376>,

and wondered <08074> that [there was] no <0369> intercessor

<06293>: therefore his arm <02220> brought <03467> salvation

<03467> unto him; and his righteousness <06666>, it sustained

<05564> him.

17 For he put <03847> on righteousness <06666> as a breastplate

<08302>, and an helmet <03553> of salvation <03444> upon his

head <07218>; and he put <03847> on the garments <0899> of

vengeance <05359> [for] clothing <08516>, and was clad <05844>

with zeal <07068> as a cloke <04598>.

18 According <05921> to [their] deeds <01578>, accordingly

<05922> he will repay <07999>, fury <02534> to his adversaries

<06862>, recompence <01576> to his enemies <0341>; to the

islands <0339> he will repay <07999> recompence <01576>.

19 So shall they fear <03372> the name <08034> of the LORD

<03068> from the west <04628>, and his glory <03519> from the

rising <04217> of the sun <08121>. When <03588> the enemy

<06862> shall come <0935> in like a flood <05104>, the Spirit

<07307> of the LORD <03068> shall lift <05127> up a standard

<05127> against him.

20 And the Redeemer <01350> shall come <0935> to Zion <06726>,

and unto them that turn <07725> from transgression <06588> in

Jacob <03290>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.

21 As for me, this <02063> [is] my covenant <01285> with them,

saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; My spirit <07307> that [is] upon

thee, and my words <01697> which <0834> I have put <07760> in

thy mouth <06310>, shall not depart <04185> out of thy mouth

<06310>, nor out of the mouth <06310> of thy seed <02233>, nor

out of the mouth <06310> of thy seed's <02233> seed <02233>,

saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, from henceforth <03254> and for

ever <05769>.

Isaiah 60

1. Arise <06965>, shine <0215>; for thy light <0216> is come

<0935>, and the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> is risen

<02224> upon thee.

2 For, behold <02009>, the darkness <02822> shall cover <03680>

the earth <0776>, and gross <06205> darkness <06205> the people

<03816>: but the LORD <03068> shall arise <02224> upon thee, and

his glory <03519> shall be seen <07200> upon thee.

3 And the Gentiles <01471> shall come <01980> to thy light

<0216>, and kings <04428> to the brightness <05051> of thy

rising <02225>.

4 Lift <05375> up thine eyes <05869> round <05439> about, and

see <07200>: all <03605> they gather <06908> themselves together,

they come <0935> to thee: thy sons <01121> shall come <0935>

from far <07350>, and thy daughters <01121> shall be nursed

<0539> at <05921> [thy] side <06654>.

5 Then <0227> thou shalt see, and flow <05102> together, and

thine heart <03824> shall fear <06342>, and be enlarged <07337>;

because <03588> the abundance <01995> of the sea <03220> shall

be converted <02015> unto thee, the forces <02428> of the

Gentiles <01471> shall come <0935> unto thee.

6 The multitude <08229> of camels <01581> shall cover <03680>

thee, the dromedaries <01070> of Midian <04080> and Ephah

<05891>; all <03605> they from Sheba <07614> shall come <0935>:

they shall bring <05375> gold <02091> and incense <03828>; and

they shall shew <01319> forth the praises <08416> of the LORD

<03068>.

7 All <03605> the flocks <06629> of Kedar <06938> shall be

gathered <06908> together unto thee, the rams <0352> of Nebaioth

<05032> shall minister <08334> unto thee: they shall come

<05927> up with acceptance <07522> on <05921> mine altar <04196>,

and I will glorify <06286> the house <01004> of my glory

<08597>.

8 Who <04310> [are] these <0428> [that] fly <05774> as a cloud

<05645>, and as the doves <03123> to their windows <0699>?

9. Surely <03588> the isles <0339> shall wait <06960> for me,

and the ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659> first <07223>, to bring

<0935> thy sons <01121> from far <07350>, their silver <03701>

and their gold <02091> with them, unto the name <08034> of the

LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, and to the Holy <06918> One of

Israel <03478>, because <03588> he hath glorified <06286> thee.

10 And the sons <01121> of strangers <05236> shall build

<01129> up thy walls <02346>, and their kings <04428> shall

minister <08334> unto thee: for in my wrath <07110> I smote

<05221> thee, but in my favour <07522> have I had mercy <07355>

on thee.

11 Therefore thy gates <08179> shall be open <06605>

continually <08548>; they shall not be shut <05462> day <03119>

nor night <03915>; that [men] may bring <0935> unto thee the

forces <02428> of the Gentiles <01471>, and [that] their kings

<04428> [may be] brought <05090>.

12 For the nation <01471> and kingdom <04467> that will not

serve <05647> thee shall perish <06>; yea, [those] nations

<01471> shall be utterly wasted <02717>.

13 The glory <03519> of Lebanon <03844> shall come <0935> unto

thee, the fir <01265> tree, the pine <08410> tree, and the box

<08391> together <03162>, to beautify <06286> the place <04725>

of my sanctuary <04720>; and I will make <07760> the place

<04725> of my feet <07272> glorious <03513>.

14 The sons <01121> also of them that afflicted <06031> thee

shall come <01980> bending <07817> unto thee; and all <03605>

they that despised <05006> thee shall bow <07812> themselves

down <07812> at <05921> the soles <03709> of thy feet <07272>;

and they shall call <07121> thee, The city <05892> of the LORD

<03068>, The Zion <06726> of the Holy <06918> One of Israel

<03478>.

15. Whereas <08478> thou hast been <01961> forsaken <05800> and

hated <08130>, so that no <0369> man went <05674> through

<05674> [thee], I will make <07760> thee an eternal <05769>

excellency <01347>, a joy <04885> of many generations <01755>.

16 Thou shalt also suck <03243> the milk <02461> of the

Gentiles <01471>, and shalt suck <03243> the breast <07699> of

kings <04428>: and thou shalt know <03045> that I the LORD

<03068> [am] thy Saviour <03467> and thy Redeemer <01350>, the

mighty <046> One of Jacob <03290>.

17 For brass <05178> I will bring <0935> gold <02091>, and for

iron <01270> I will bring <0935> silver <03701>, and for wood

<06086> brass <05178>, and for stones <068> iron <01270>: I will

also make <07760> thy officers <06486> peace <07965>, and thine

exactors <05065> righteousness <06666>.

18 Violence <02555> shall no <03808> more <05750> be heard

<08085> in thy land <0776>, wasting <07701> nor destruction

<07667> within thy borders <01366>; but thou shalt call <07121>

thy walls <02346> Salvation <03444>, and thy gates <08179>

Praise <08416>.

19 The sun <08121> shall be no <03808> more <05750> thy light

<0216> by day <03117>; neither <03808> for brightness <05051>

shall the moon <03394> give light <0216> unto thee: but the LORD

<03068> shall be unto thee an everlasting <05769> light <0216>,

and thy God <0430> thy glory <08597>.

20 Thy sun <08121> shall no <03808> more <05750> go <0935> down;

neither <03808> shall thy moon <03391> withdraw <0622> itself:

for the LORD <03068> shall be thine everlasting <05769> light

<0216>, and the days <03117> of thy mourning <060> shall be

ended <07999>.

21 Thy people <05971> also [shall be] all <03605> righteous

<06662>: they shall inherit <03423> the land <0776> for ever

<05769>, the branch <05342> of my planting <04302>, the work

<04639> of my hands <03027>, that I may be glorified <06286>.

22 A little <06996> one shall become <01961> a thousand <0505>,

and a small <06810> one a strong <06099> nation <01471>: I the

LORD <03068> will hasten <02363> it in his time <06256>.

Isaiah 61

1. The Spirit <07307> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> [is] upon

me; because <03282> the LORD <03068> hath anointed <04886> me to

preach <01319> good <01319> tidings <01319> unto the meek

<06035>; he hath sent <07971> me to bind <02280> up the

brokenhearted, to proclaim <07121> liberty <01865> to the

captives <07628>, and the opening <06495> of the prison <06495>

to [them that are] bound <0631>;

2 To proclaim <07121> the acceptable <07522> year <08141> of

the LORD <03068>, and the day <03117> of vengeance <05359> of

our God <0430>; to comfort <05162> all <03605> that mourn <057>;

3 To appoint <07760> unto them that mourn <057> in Zion <06726>,

to give <05414> unto them beauty <06287> for ashes <0665>, the

oil <08081> of joy <08342> for mourning <060>, the garment

<04594> of praise <08416> for the spirit <07307> of heaviness

<03544>; that they might be called <07121> trees <0352> of

righteousness <06664>, the planting <04302> of the LORD <03068>,

that he might be glorified <06286>.

4. And they shall build <01129> the old <05769> wastes <02723>,

they shall raise <06965> up the former <07223> desolations

<08074>, and they shall repair <02318> the waste <02721> cities

<05892>, the desolations <08074> of many <07227> generations

<01755>.

5 And strangers <02114> shall stand <05975> and feed <07462>

your flocks <06629>, and the sons <01121> of the alien <05236>

[shall be] your plowmen <0406> and your vinedressers <03755>.

6 But ye shall be named <07121> the Priests <03548> of the LORD

<03068>: [men] shall call <07121> you the Ministers <08334> of

our God <0430>: ye shall eat <0398> the riches <02428> of the

Gentiles <01471>, and in their glory <03519> shall ye boast

<03235> yourselves.

7 For your shame <01322> [ye shall have] double <04932>; and

[for] confusion <03639> they shall rejoice <07442> in their

portion <02506>: therefore <03651> in their land <0776> they

shall possess <03423> the double <04932>: everlasting <05769>

joy <08057> shall be unto them.

8 For I the LORD <03068> love <0157> judgment <04941>, I hate

<08130> robbery <01498> for burnt <05930> offering; and I will

direct <05414> their work <06468> in truth <0571>, and I will

make <03772> an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285> with them.

9 And their seed <02233> shall be known <03045> among the

Gentiles <01471>, and their offspring <06631> among <08432> the

people <05971>: all <03605> that see <07200> them shall

acknowledge <05234> them, that they [are] the seed <02233>

[which] the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288>.

10. I will greatly rejoice <07797> in the LORD <03068>, my soul

<05315> shall be joyful <01523> in my God <0430>; for he hath

clothed <03847> me with the garments <0899> of salvation <03468>,

he hath covered <03271> me with the robe <04598> of

righteousness <06666>, as a bridegroom <02860> decketh <03547>

[himself] with ornaments <06287>, and as a bride <03618>

adorneth <05710> [herself] with her jewels <03627>.

11 For as the earth <0776> bringeth <03318> forth <03318> her

bud <06779>, and as the garden <01593> causeth the things that

are sown <02221> in it to spring <06779> forth; so <03651> the

Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will cause righteousness <06666> and

praise <08416> to spring <06779> forth before <05048> all

<03605> the nations <01471>.

Isaiah 62

1. For Zion's sake <04616> will I not hold <02814> my peace

<02814>, and for Jerusalem's <03389> sake <04616> I will not

rest <08252>, until <05704> the righteousness <06664> thereof go

<03318> forth <03318> as brightness <05051>, and the salvation

<03444> thereof as a lamp <03940> [that] burneth <01197>.

2 And the Gentiles <01471> shall see <07200> thy righteousness

<06664>, and all <03605> kings <04428> thy glory <03519>: and

thou shalt be called <07121> by a new <02319> name <08034>,

which <0834> the mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068> shall name

<08034>.

3 Thou shalt also be a crown <05850> of glory <08597> in the

hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>, and a royal <04410> diadem

<06797> in the hand <03709> of thy God <0430>.

4 Thou shalt no <03808> more <05750> be termed <0559> Forsaken

<05800>; neither <03808> shall thy land <0776> any more <05750>

be termed <0559> Desolate <08077>: but thou shalt be called

<07121> Hephzibah <02657>, and thy land <0776> Beulah <01166>:

for the LORD <03068> delighteth <02654> in thee, and thy land

<0776> shall be married <01166>.

5 For [as] a young <0970> man marrieth <01166> a virgin <01330>,

[so] shall thy sons <01121> marry <01166> thee: and [as] the

bridegroom <02860> rejoiceth <04885> over <05921> the bride

<03618>, [so] shall thy God <0430> rejoice <07797> over <05921>

thee.

6. I have set <06485> watchmen <08104> upon thy walls <02346>,

O Jerusalem <03389>, [which] shall never <03808> hold <02814>

their peace <02814> day <03117> nor night <03915>: ye that make

mention <02142> of the LORD <03068>, keep not silence <01824>,

7 And give <05414> him no <0408> rest <01824>, till <05704> he

establish <03559>, and till <05704> he make <07760> Jerusalem

<03389> a praise <08416> in the earth <0776>.

8 The LORD <03068> hath sworn <07650> by his right <03225> hand

<03225>, and by the arm <02220> of his strength <05797>, Surely

<0518> I will no <0518> more <05750> give <05414> thy corn

<01715> [to be] meat <03978> for thine enemies <0341>; and the

sons <01121> of the stranger <05236> shall not drink <08354> thy

wine <08492>, for the which <0834> thou hast laboured <03021>:

9 But they that have gathered <0622> it shall eat <0398> it,

and praise <01984> the LORD <03068>; and they that have brought

<06908> it together shall drink <08354> it in the courts <02691>

of my holiness <06944>.

10. Go <05674> through <05674>, go <05674> through the gates

<08179>; prepare <06437> ye the way <01870> of the people

<05971>; cast <05549> up, cast <05549> up the highway <04546>;

gather <05619> out the stones <068>; lift <07311> up a standard

<05251> for the people <05971>.

11 Behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> hath proclaimed <08085>

unto the end <07097> of the world <0776>, Say <0559> ye to the

daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>, Behold <02009>, thy salvation

<03468> cometh <0935>; behold <02009>, his reward <07939> [is]

with him, and his work <06468> before <06440> him.

12 And they shall call <07121> them, The holy <06944> people

<05971>, The redeemed <01350> of the LORD <03068>: and thou

shalt be called <07121>, Sought <01875> out, A city <05892> not

forsaken <05800>.

Isaiah 63

1. Who <04310> [is] this <02088> that cometh <0935> from Edom

<0123>, with dyed <02556> garments <0899> from Bozrah <01224>?

this <02088> [that is] glorious <01921> in his apparel <03830>,

travelling <06808> in the greatness <07230> of his strength

<03581>? I that speak <01696> in righteousness <06666>, mighty

<07227> to save <03467>.

2 Wherefore <04069> [art thou] red <0122> in thine apparel

<03830>, and thy garments <0899> like him that treadeth <01869>

in the winefat <01660>?

3 I have trodden <01869> the winepress <06333> alone <0905>;

and of the people <05971> [there was] none with me: for I will

tread <01869> them in mine anger <0639>, and trample <07429>

them in my fury <02534>; and their blood <05332> shall be

sprinkled <05137> upon my garments <0899>, and I will stain

<01351> all <03605> my raiment <04403>.

4 For the day <03117> of vengeance <05359> [is] in mine heart

<03820>, and the year <08141> of my redeemed <01350> is come

<0935>.

5 And I looked <05027>, and [there was] none <0369> to help

<05826>; and I wondered <08074> that [there was] none <0369> to

uphold <05564>: therefore mine own arm <02220> brought <03467>

salvation <03467> unto me; and my fury <02534>, it upheld

<05564> me.

6 And I will tread <0947> down the people <05971> in mine anger

<0639>, and make them drunk <07937> in my fury <02534>, and I

will bring <03381> down their strength <05332> to the earth

<0776>.

7. I will mention <02142> the lovingkindnesses <02617> of the

LORD <03068>, [and] the praises <08416> of the LORD <03068>,

according <05921> to all <03605> that the LORD <03068> hath

bestowed <01580> on us, and the great <07227> goodness <02898>

toward the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, which <0834> he hath

bestowed <01580> on them according to his mercies <07356>, and

according to the multitude <07230> of his lovingkindnesses

<02617>.

8 For he said <0559>, Surely <0389> they [are] my people

<05971>, children <01121> [that] will not lie <08266>: so he was

their Saviour <03467>.

9 In all <03605> their affliction <06869> he was afflicted

<06862>, and the angel <04397> of his presence <06440> saved

<03467> them: in his love <0160> and in his pity <02551> he

redeemed <01350> them; and he bare <05190> them, and carried

<05375> them all <03605> the days <03117> of old <05769>.

10 But they rebelled <04784>, and vexed <06087> his holy

<06944> Spirit <07307>: therefore he was turned <02015> to be

their enemy <0341>, [and] he fought <03898> against them.

11 Then he remembered <02142> the days <03117> of old <05769>,

Moses <04872>, [and] his people <05971>, [saying], Where <0346>

[is] he that brought <05927> them up out of the sea <03220> with

the shepherd <07462> of his flock <06629>? where <0346> [is] he

that put <07760> his holy <06944> Spirit <07307> within <07130>

him?

12 That led <03212> [them] by the right <03225> hand <03225> of

Moses <04872> with his glorious <08597> arm <02220>, dividing

<01234> the water <04325> before <06440> them, to make <06213>

himself an everlasting <05769> name <08034>?

13 That led <03212> them through the deep <08415>, as an horse

<05483> in the wilderness <04057>, [that] they should not

stumble <03782>?

14 As a beast <0929> goeth <03318> down <03381> into the valley

<01237>, the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> caused him to

rest <05117>: so <03651> didst thou lead <05090> thy people

<05971>, to make <06213> thyself a glorious <08597> name <08034>.

15. Look <05027> down from heaven <08064>, and behold <07200>

from the habitation <02073> of thy holiness <06944> and of thy

glory <08597>: where <0346> [is] thy zeal <07068> and thy

strength <01369>, the sounding <01995> of thy bowels <04578> and

of thy mercies <07356> toward <0413> me? are they restrained

<0662>?

16 Doubtless <03588> thou [art] our father <01>, though <03588>

Abraham <085> be ignorant of us, and Israel <03478> acknowledge

<05234> us not: thou, O LORD <03068>, [art] our father <01>, our

redeemer <01350>; thy name <08034> [is] from everlasting <05769>.

17 O LORD <03068>, why <04100> hast thou made us to err <08582>

from thy ways <01870>, [and] hardened <07188> our heart <03820>

from thy fear <03374>? Return <07725> for thy servants <05650>'

sake <04616>, the tribes <07626> of thine inheritance <05159>.

18 The people <05971> of thy holiness <06944> have possessed

<03423> [it] but a little <04705> while <04705>: our adversaries

<06862> have trodden <0947> down thy sanctuary <04720>.

19 We are [thine]: thou never barest <04910> rule <04910> over

them; they were not called <07121> by thy name <08034>.

Isaiah 64

1. Oh <03863> that thou wouldest rend <07167> the heavens

<08064>, that thou wouldest come <03381> down <03381>, that the

mountains <02022> might flow <02151> down at thy presence

<06440>,

2 As [when] the melting <02003> fire <0784> burneth <06919>,

the fire <0784> causeth the waters <04325> to boil <01158>, to

make thy name <08034> known <03045> to thine adversaries <06862>,

[that] the nations <01471> may tremble <07264> at thy presence

<06440>!

3 When thou didst <06213> terrible <03372> things [which] we

looked <06960> not for, thou camest <03381> down <03381>, the

mountains <02022> flowed <02151> down at thy presence <06440>.

4 For since the beginning <05769> of the world <05769> [men]

have not heard <08085>, nor <03808> perceived <0238> by the ear

<0238>, neither <03808> hath the eye <05869> seen <07200>, O God

<0430>, beside <02108> thee, [what] he hath prepared <06213> for

him that waiteth <02442> for him.

5 Thou meetest <06293> him that rejoiceth <07797> and worketh

<06213> righteousness <06664>, [those that] remember <02142>

thee in thy ways <01870>: behold <02005>, thou art wroth <07107>;

for we have sinned <02398>: in those <01992> is continuance

<05769>, and we shall be saved <03467>.

6. But we are all <03605> as an unclean <02931> [thing], and

all <03605> our righteousnesses <06666> [are] as filthy <05708>

rags <0899>; and we all <03605> do fade <05034> as a leaf

<05929>; and our iniquities <05771>, like the wind <07307>, have

taken <05375> us away.

7 And [there is] none <0369> that calleth <07121> upon thy name

<08034>, that stirreth <05782> up himself to take <02388> hold

<02388> of thee: for thou hast hid <05641> thy face <06440> from

us, and hast consumed <04127> us, because <03027> of our

iniquities <05771>.

8 But now <06258>, O LORD <03068>, thou [art] our father <01>;

we [are] the clay <02563>, and thou our potter <03335>; and we

all <03605> [are] the work <04639> of thy hand <03027>.

9 Be not wroth <07107> very <03966> sore <03966>, O LORD

<03068>, neither <0408> remember <02142> iniquity <05771> for

ever <05703>: behold <02005>, see <05027>, we beseech <04994>

thee, we [are] all <03605> thy people <05971>.

10 Thy holy <06944> cities <05892> are a wilderness <04057>,

Zion <06726> is a wilderness <04057>, Jerusalem <03389> a

desolation <08077>.

11 Our holy <06944> and our beautiful <08597> house <01004>,

where <0834> our fathers <01> praised <01984> thee, is burned

<08316> up with fire <0784>: and all <03605> our pleasant

<04261> things are laid waste <02723>.

12 Wilt thou refrain <0662> thyself for these <0428> [things],

O LORD <03068>? wilt thou hold <02814> thy peace <02814>, and

afflict <06031> us very <03966> sore <03966>?

Isaiah 65

1. I am sought <01875> of [them that] asked <07592> not [for

me]; I am found <04672> of [them that] sought <01245> me not: I

said <0559>, Behold <02009> me, behold <02009> me, unto a nation

<01471> [that] was not called <07121> by my name <08034>.

2 I have spread <06566> out my hands <03027> all <03605> the

day <03117> unto a rebellious <05637> people <05971>, which

walketh <01980> in a way <01870> [that was] not good <02896>,

after <0310> their own thoughts <04284>;

3 A people <05971> that provoketh me to anger <03707>

continually <08548> to my face <06440>; that sacrificeth <02076>

in gardens <01593>, and burneth <06999> incense <06999> upon

altars of brick <03843>;

4 Which remain <03427> among the graves <06913>, and lodge

<03885> in the monuments <05341>, which eat <0398> swine's

<02386> flesh <01320>, and broth <06564> of abominable <06292>

[things is in] their vessels <03627>;

5 Which <0834> say <0559>, Stand <07126> by thyself, come

<05066> not near <05066> to me; for I am holier <06942> than

thou. These <0428> [are] a smoke <06227> in my nose <0639>, a

fire <0784> that burneth <03344> all <03605> the day <03117>.

6 Behold <02009>, [it is] written <03789> before <06440> me: I

will not keep silence <02814>, but will recompense <07999>, even

recompense into <05921> their bosom <02436>,

7 Your iniquities <05771>, and the iniquities <05771> of your

fathers <01> together <03162>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>,

which <0834> have burned <06999> incense <06999> upon the

mountains <02022>, and blasphemed <02778> me upon the hills

<01389>: therefore will I measure <04058> their former <07223>

work <06468> into <05921> their bosom <02436>.

8. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, As the new

<08492> wine <08492> is found <04672> in the cluster <0811>, and

[one] saith <0559>, Destroy <07843> it not; for a blessing

<01293> [is] in it: so <03651> will I do <06213> for my servants

<05650>' sakes <06616>, that I may not destroy <07843> them all

<03605>.

9 And I will bring <03318> forth <03318> a seed <02233> out of

Jacob <03290>, and out of Judah <03063> an inheritor <03423> of

my mountains <02022>: and mine elect <0972> shall inherit

<03423> it, and my servants <05650> shall dwell <07931> there

<08033>.

10 And Sharon <08289> shall be a fold <05116> of flocks <06629>,

and the valley <06010> of Achor <05911> a place for the herds

<01241> to lie <07258> down <07257> in, for my people <05971>

that have sought <01875> me.

11. But ye [are] they that forsake <05800> the LORD <03068>,

that forget <07913> my holy <06944> mountain <02022>, that

prepare <06186> a table <07979> for that troop <01409>, and that

furnish <04390> the drink <04469> offering unto that number

<04507>.

12 Therefore will I number <04487> you to the sword <02719>,

and ye shall all <03605> bow <03766> down <03766> to the

slaughter <02875>: because <03282> when I called <07121>, ye did

not answer <06030>; when I spake <01696>, ye did <06213> not

hear <08085>; but did evil <07451> before mine eyes <05869>, and

did <06213> choose <0977> [that] wherein <0834> I delighted

<02654> not.

13 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <03069>, Behold <02009>, my servants <05650> shall eat

<0398>, but ye shall be hungry <07456>: behold <02009>, my

servants <05650> shall drink <08354>, but ye shall be thirsty

<06770>: behold <02009>, my servants <05650> shall rejoice

<08055>, but ye shall be ashamed <0954>:

14 Behold <02009>, my servants <05650> shall sing <07442> for

joy <02898> of heart <03820>, but ye shall cry <06817> for

sorrow <03511> of heart <03820>, and shall howl <03213> for

vexation <07667> of spirit <07307>.

15 And ye shall leave <03241> your name <08034> for a curse

<07621> unto my chosen <0977>: for the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>

shall slay <04191> thee, and call <07121> his servants <05650>

by another <0312> name <08034>:

16 That he who <0834> blesseth <01288> himself in the earth

<0776> shall bless <01288> himself in the God <0430> of truth

<0548>; and he that sweareth <07650> in the earth <0776> shall

swear <07650> by the God <0430> of truth <0548>; because <03588>

the former <07223> troubles <06869> are forgotten <07911>, and

because <03588> they are hid <05641> from mine eyes <05869>.

17. For, behold <02005>, I create <01254> new <02319> heavens

<08064> and a new <02319> earth <0776>: and the former <07223>

shall not be remembered <02142>, nor <03808> come <05927> into

<05921> mind <03820>.

18 But be ye glad <07796> and rejoice <01523> for ever <05703>

[in that] which <0834> I create <01254>: for, behold <02005>, I

create <01254> Jerusalem <03389> a rejoicing <01525>, and her

people <05971> a joy <04885>.

19 And I will rejoice <01523> in Jerusalem <03389>, and joy

<07796> in my people <05971>: and the voice <06963> of weeping

<01065> shall be no <03808> more <05750> heard <08085> in her,

nor the voice <06963> of crying <02201>.

20 There shall be no <03808> more <05750> thence <08033> an

infant <05764> of days <03117>, nor an old <02205> man that hath

not filled <04390> his days <03117>: for the child <05288> shall

die <04191> an hundred <03967> years <08141> old <01121>; but

the sinner <02398> [being] an hundred <03967> years <08141> old

<01121> shall be accursed <07043>.

21 And they shall build <01129> houses <01004>, and inhabit

<03427> [them]; and they shall plant <05193> vineyards <03754>,

and eat <0398> the fruit <06529> of them.

22 They shall not build <01129>, and another <0312> inhabit

<03427>; they shall not plant <05193>, and another <0312> eat

<0398>: for as the days <03117> of a tree <06086> [are] the days

<03117> of my people <05971>, and mine elect <0972> shall long

enjoy <01086> the work <04639> of their hands <03027>.

23 They shall not labour <03021> in vain <07385>, nor <03808>

bring <03205> forth <03205> for trouble <0928>; for they [are]

the seed <02233> of the blessed <01288> of the LORD <03068>, and

their offspring <06631> with them.

24 And it shall come <01961> to pass, that before <02962> they

call <07121>, I will answer <06030>; and while they are yet

<05750> speaking <01696>, I will hear <08085>.

25 The wolf <02061> and the lamb <02924> shall feed <07462>

together <0259>, and the lion <0738> shall eat <0398> straw

<08401> like the bullock <01241>: and dust <06083> [shall be]

the serpent's <05175> meat <03899>. They shall not hurt <07489>

nor <03808> destroy <07843> in all <03605> my holy <06944>

mountain <02022>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>.

Isaiah 66

1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, The heaven

<08064> [is] my throne <03678>, and the earth <0776> [is] my

footstool: where <0335> [is] the house <01004> that ye build

<01129> unto me? and where <0335> [is] the place <04725> of my

rest <04496>?

2 For all <03605> those <0428> [things] hath mine hand <03027>

made <06213>, and all <03605> those <0428> [things] have been

<01961>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>: but to this <02088>

[man] will I look <05027>, [even] to [him that is] poor <06041>

and of a contrite <05223> spirit <07307>, and trembleth <02730>

at <05921> my word <01697>.

3 He that killeth <07819> an ox <07794> [is as if] he slew

<05221> a man <0376>; he that sacrificeth <02076> a lamb <07716>,

[as if] he cut off a dog's <03611> neck <06202>; he that

offereth <05927> an oblation <04503>, [as if he offered <05927>]

swine's <02386> blood <01818>; he that burneth <02142> incense

<03828>, [as if] he blessed <01288> an idol <0205>. Yea <01571>,

they have chosen <0977> their own ways <01870>, and their soul

<05315> delighteth <02654> in their abominations <08251>.

4 I also <01571> will choose <0977> their delusions <08586>,

and will bring <0935> their fears <04035> upon them; because

<03282> when I called <07121>, none <0369> did answer <06030>;

when I spake <01696>, they did not hear <08085>: but they did

<06213> evil <07451> before mine eyes <05869>, and chose <0977>

[that] in which <0834> I delighted <02654> not.

5. Hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, ye that

tremble <02730> at <0413> his word <01697>; Your brethren <0251>

that hated <08130> you, that cast <05077> you out for my name's

<08034> sake <04616>, said <0559>, Let the LORD <03068> be

glorified <03513>: but he shall appear <07200> to your joy

<08057>, and they shall be ashamed <0954>.

6 A voice <06963> of noise <07588> from the city <05892>, a

voice <06963> from the temple <01964>, a voice <06963> of the

LORD <03068> that rendereth <07999> recompence <01576> to his

enemies <0341>.

7 Before <02962> she travailed <02342>, she brought <03205>

forth <03205>; before <02962> her pain <02256> came <0935>, she

was delivered <04422> of a man <02145> child.

8 Who <04310> hath heard <08085> such <02063> a thing? who

<0834> hath seen <07200> such <0428> things? Shall the earth

<0776> be made to bring <02342> forth <02342> in one <0259> day

<03117>? [or] shall a nation <01471> be born <03205> at once

<06471>? for as soon <01571> as Zion <06726> travailed <02342>,

she brought <03205> forth <03205> her children <01121>.

9 Shall I bring <07665> to the birth <07665>, and not cause to

bring <03205> forth <03205>? saith <0559> the LORD <03068>:

shall I cause to bring <03205> forth <03205>, and shut <06113>

[the womb]? saith <0559> thy God <0430>.

10 Rejoice <08055> ye with Jerusalem <03389>, and be glad

<01528> with her, all <03605> ye that love <0157> her: rejoice

<07797> for joy <04885> with her, all <03605> ye that mourn

<056> for her:

11 That ye may suck <03243>, and be satisfied <07646> with the

breasts <07699> of her consolations <08575>; that ye may milk

<04711> out, and be delighted <06026> with the abundance <02123>

of her glory <03519>.

12 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, Behold

<02005>, I will extend <05186> peace <07965> to her like a river

<05104>, and the glory <03519> of the Gentiles <01471> like a

flowing <07857> stream <05158>: then shall ye suck <03243>, ye

shall be borne <05375> upon [her] sides <06654>, and be dandled

<08173> upon [her] knees <01290>.

13 As one <0376> whom <0834> his mother <0517> comforteth

<05162>, so <03651> will I comfort <05162> you; and ye shall be

comforted <05162> in Jerusalem <03389>.

14 And when ye see <07200> [this], your heart <03820> shall

rejoice <07797>, and your bones <06106> shall flourish <06524>

like an herb <01877>: and the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>

shall be known <03045> toward <0854> his servants <05650>, and

[his] indignation <02194> toward <0854> his enemies <0341>.

15. For, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> will come <0935> with

fire <0784>, and with his chariots <04818> like a whirlwind

<05492>, to render <07725> his anger <0639> with fury <02534>,

and his rebuke <01606> with flames <03851> of fire <0784>.

16 For by fire <0784> and by his sword <02719> will the LORD

<03068> plead <08199> with all <03605> flesh <01320>: and the

slain <02491> of the LORD <03068> shall be many <07231>.

17 They that sanctify <06942> themselves, and purify <02891>

themselves in the gardens <01593> behind <0310> one <0259>

[tree] in the midst <08432>, eating <0398> swine's <02386> flesh

<01320>, and the abomination <08263>, and the mouse <05909>,

shall be consumed <05486> together <03162>, saith <05002> the

LORD <03068>.

18 For I [know] their works <04639> and their thoughts <04284>:

it shall come <0935>, that I will gather <06908> all <03605>

nations <01471> and tongues <03956>; and they shall come <0935>,

and see <07200> my glory <03519>.

19 And I will set <07760> a sign <0226> among them, and I will

send <07971> those <01992> that escape <06412> of them unto the

nations <01471>, [to] Tarshish <08659>, Pul <06322>, and Lud

<03865>, that draw <04900> the bow <07198>, [to] Tubal <08422>,

and Javan <03120>, [to] the isles <0339> afar <07350> off, that

have not heard <08085> my fame <08088>, neither <03808> have

seen <07200> my glory <03519>; and they shall declare <05046> my

glory <03519> among the Gentiles <01471>.

20 And they shall bring <0935> all <03605> your brethren <0251>

[for] an offering <04503> unto the LORD <03068> out of all

<03605> nations <01471> upon horses <05483>, and in chariots

<07393>, and in litters <06632>, and upon mules <06505>, and

upon swift <03753> beasts <03753>, to my holy <06944> mountain

<02022> Jerusalem <03389>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, as the

children <01121> of Israel <03478> bring <0935> an offering

<04503> in a clean <02889> vessel <03627> into the house <01004>

of the LORD <03068>.

21 And I will also <01571> take <03947> of them for priests

<03548> [and] for Levites <03881>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>.

22 For as the new <02319> heavens <08064> and the new <02319>

earth <0776>, which <0834> I will make <06213>, shall remain

<05975> before <06440> me, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, so

<03651> shall your seed <02233> and your name <08034> remain

<05975>.

23 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] from one new

<02320> moon <02320> to another, and from one sabbath <07676> to

another, shall all <03605> flesh <01320> come <0935> to worship

<07812> before <06440> me, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>.

24 And they shall go <03318> forth <03318>, and look <07200>

upon the carcases <06297> of the men <0582> that have

transgressed <06586> against me: for their worm <08438> shall

not die <04191>, neither <03808> shall their fire <0784> be

quenched <03518>; and they shall be an abhorring <01860> unto

all <03605> flesh <01320>.
