Isaiah 1
1. The vision <2377 chazown > of Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the
son <1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts >, which <0834 >aher > he
saw <2372 chazah > concerning <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > in the days <3117 yowm > of
Uzziah <5818 <Uzziyah >, Jotham <3147 Yowtham >, Ahaz <0271
>Achaz >, [and] Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, kings <4428 melek >
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.
2. Hear <8085 shama< >, O heavens <8064 shamayim >, and give
ear <0238 >azan >, O earth <0776 >erets >: for the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >, I have nourished <1431
gadal > and brought <7311 ruwm > up children <1121 ben >, and
they have rebelled <6586 pasha< > against me.
3 The ox <7794 showr > knoweth <3045 yada< > his owner <7069
qanah >, and the ass <2543 chamowr > his master's <1167 ba<al >
crib <18>: [but] Israel <3478 Yisra>el > doth not know <3045
yada< >, my people <5971 <am > doth not consider <0995 biyn >.
4 Ah <1945 howy > sinful <2398 chata> > nation <1471 gowy >, a
people <5971 <am > laden <3515 kabed > with iniquity <5771 <avon
>, a seed <2233 zera< > of evildoers <7489 ra<a< >, children
<1121 ben > that are corrupters <7843 shachath >: they have
forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, they have
provoked <5006 na>ats > the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > unto anger <5006 na>ats >, they are gone <2114
zuwr > away backward <0268 >achowr >.
5 Why should ye be stricken <5221 nakah > any more <5750 <owd
>? ye will revolt <5627 carah > more and more: the whole <3605
kol > head <7218 ro>sh > is sick <2483 choliy >, and the whole
<3605 kol > heart <3824 lebab > faint <1742 davvay >.
6 From the sole <3709 kaph > of the foot <7272 regel > even
unto the head <7218 ro>sh > [there is] no <0369 >ayin >
soundness <4974 m@thom > in it; [but] wounds <6482 petsa< >, and
bruises <2250 chabbuwrah >, and putrifying <2961 tariy > sores
<4347 makkah >: they have not been closed <2115 zuwr >, neither
<3808 lo> > bound <2280 chabash > up, neither <3808 lo> >
mollified <7401 rakak > with ointment <8081 shemen >.
7 Your country <0776 >erets > [is] desolate <8077 sh@mamah >,
your cities <5892 <iyr > [are] burned <8313 saraph > with fire
<0784 >esh >: your land <0127 >adamah >, strangers <2114 zuwr >
devour <0398 >akal > it in your presence <5048 neged >, and [it
is] desolate <8077 sh@mamah >, as overthrown <4114 mahpekah > by
strangers <2114 zuwr >.
8 And the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > is left
<3498 yathar > as a cottage <5521 cukkah > in a vineyard <3754
kerem >, as a lodge <4412 m@luwnah > in a garden of cucumbers
<4750 miqshah >, as a besieged <5341 natsar > city <5892 <iyr >.
9 Except <3884 luwle> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635
tsaba> > had left <3498 yathar > unto us a very <4592 m@<at >
small <4592 m@<at > remnant <8300 sariyd >, we should have been
<1961 hayah > as Sodom <5467 C@dom >, [and] we should have been
like <1819 damah > unto Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah >.
10. Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, ye rulers <7101 qatsiyn > of Sodom <5467 C@dom
>; give ear <0238 >azan > unto the law <8451 towrah > of our God
<0430 >elohiym >, ye people <5971 <am > of Gomorrah <6017
<Amorah >.
11 To what <4100 mah > purpose [is] the multitude <7230 rob >
of your sacrifices <2077 zebach > unto me? saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: I am full <7646 saba< > of the burnt
<5930 <olah > offerings of rams <0352 >ayil >, and the fat <2459
cheleb > of fed <4806 m@riy> > beasts <4806 m@riy> >; and I
delight <2654 chaphets > not in the blood <1818 dam > of
bullocks <6499 par >, or of lambs <3532 kebes >, or of he goats
<6260 <attuwd >.
12 When <3588 kiy > ye come <0935 bow> > to appear <7200 ra>ah
> before <6440 paniym > me, who <4310 miy > hath required <1245
baqash > this <2063 zo>th > at your hand <3027 yad >, to tread
<7429 ramac > my courts <2691 chatser >?
13 Bring <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > vain
<7723 shav> > oblations <4503 minchah >; incense <7004 q@toreth
> is an abomination <8441 tow<ebah > unto me; the new <2320
chodesh > moons <2320 chodesh > and sabbaths <7676 shabbath >,
the calling <7121 qara> > of assemblies <4744 miqra> >, I cannot
away with; [it is] iniquity <0205 >aven >, even the solemn <2282
chag > meeting <6116 <atsarah >.
14 Your new <2320 chodesh > moons <2320 chodesh > and your
appointed <4150 mow<ed > feasts my soul <5315 nephesh > hateth
<8130 sane> >: they are a trouble <2960 torach > unto me; I am
weary <3811 la>ah > to bear <5375 nasa> > [them].
15 And when ye spread <6566 paras > forth your hands <3709 kaph
>, I will hide <5956 <alam > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > from you:
yea <1571 gam >, when <3588 kiy > ye make many <7235 rabah >
prayers <8605 t@phillah >, I will not hear <8085 shama< >: your
hands <3027 yad > are full <4390 male> > of blood <1818 dam >.
16. Wash <7364 rachats > you, make you clean <2135 zakah >; put
<5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the evil <7455 roa< > of your
doings <4611 ma<alal > from before <5048 neged > mine eyes <5869
<ayin >; cease <2308 chadal > to do evil <7489 ra<a< >;
17 Learn <3925 lamad > to do well <3190 yatab >; seek <1875
darash > judgment <4941 mishpat >, relieve <0833 >ashar > the
oppressed <2541 chamowts >, judge <8199 shaphat > the fatherless
<3490 yathowm >, plead <7378 riyb > for the widow <0490 >almanah
>.
18 Come <3212 yalak > now <4994 na> >, and let us reason <3198
yakach > together, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:
though <0518 >im > your sins <2399 chet> > be as scarlet <8144
shaniy >, they shall be as white <3835 laban > as snow <7950
sheleg >; though <0518 >im > they be red <0119 >adam > like
<1819 damah > crimson <8438 towla< >, they shall be as wool
<6785 tsemer >.
19 If <0518 >im > ye be willing <14> and obedient <8085 shama<
>, ye shall eat <0398 >akal > the good <2898 tuwb > of the land
<0776 >erets >:
20 But if <0518 >im > ye refuse <3985 ma>en > and rebel <4784
marah >, ye shall be devoured <0398 >akal > with the sword <2719
chereb >: for the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
hath spoken <1696 dabar > [it].
21. How <0349 >eyk > is the faithful <0539 >aman > city <7151
qiryah > become <1961 hayah > an harlot <2181 zanah >! it was
full <4392 male> > of judgment <4941 mishpat >; righteousness
<6664 tsedeq > lodged <3885 luwn > in it; but now <6258 <attah >
murderers <7523 ratsach >.
22 Thy silver <3701 keceph > is become <1961 hayah > dross
<5509 ciyg >, thy wine <5435 cobe> > mixed <4107 mahal > with
water <4325 mayim >:
23 Thy princes <8269 sar > [are] rebellious <5637 carar >, and
companions <2270 chaber > of thieves <1590 gannab >: every <3605
kol > one loveth <0157 >ahab > gifts <7810 shachad >, and
followeth <7291 radaph > after rewards <8021 shalmon >: they
judge <8199 shaphat > not the fatherless <3490 yathowm >,
neither <3808 lo> > doth the cause <7379 riyb > of the widow
<0490 >almanah > come <0935 bow> > unto them.
24 Therefore <3651 ken > saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0113
>adown >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the
mighty <46> One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Ah <1945 howy >, I
will ease <5162 nacham > me of mine adversaries <6862 tsar >,
and avenge <5358 naqam > me of mine enemies <0341 >oyeb >:
25 And I will turn <7725 shuwb > my hand <3027 yad > upon thee,
and purely <1252 bor > purge <6884 tsaraph > away thy dross
<5509 ciyg >, and take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > all <3605
kol > thy tin <0913 b@diyl >:
26 And I will restore <7725 shuwb > thy judges <8199 shaphat >
as at the first <7223 ri>shown >, and thy counsellors <3289
ya<ats > as at the beginning <8462 t@chillah >: afterward thou
shalt be called <7121 qara> >, The city <5892 <iyr > of
righteousness <6664 tsedeq >, the faithful <0539 >aman > city
<7151 qiryah >.
27 Zion <6726 Tsiyown > shall be redeemed <6299 padah > with
judgment <4941 mishpat >, and her converts <7725 shuwb > with
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >.
28 And the destruction <7667 sheber > of the transgressors
<6586 pasha< > and of the sinners <2400 chatta> > [shall be]
together <3162 yachad >, and they that forsake <5800 <azab > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be consumed <3615 kalah >.
29 For they shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > of the oaks <0352
>ayil > which <0834 >aher > ye have desired <2530 chamad >, and
ye shall be confounded <2659 chapher > for the gardens <1593
gannah > that ye have chosen <0977 bachar >.
30 For ye shall be as an oak <0424 >elah > whose leaf <5929
<aleh > fadeth <5034 nabel >, and as a garden <1593 gannah >
that hath no <0369 >ayin > water <4325 mayim >.
31 And the strong <2634 chacon > shall be as tow <5296 n@<oreth
>, and the maker <6467 po<al > of it as a spark <5213 niytsowts
>, and they shall both <8147 sh@nayim > burn <1197 ba<ar >
together <3162 yachad >, and none <0369 >ayin > shall quench
<3518 kabah > [them].
Isaiah 2
1. The word <1697 dabar > that Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son
<1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > saw <2372 chazah >
concerning <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
2 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in the last <0319
>achariyth > days <3117 yowm >, [that] the mountain <2022 har >
of the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > shall be
established <3559 kuwn > in the top <7218 ro>sh > of the
mountains <2022 har >, and shall be exalted <5375 nasa> > above
the hills <1389 gib<ah >; and all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy

3 And many <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > shall go <1980 halak

<5927 <alah > up to the mountain <2022 har > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, to the house <1004 bayith > of the God <0430 >elohiym

of his ways <1870 derek >, and we will walk <3212 yalak > in his
paths <0734 >orach >: for out of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > shall go
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the law <8451 towrah >, and
the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
4 And he shall judge <8199 shaphat > among <0996 beyn > the
nations <1471 gowy >, and shall rebuke <3198 yakach > many <7227
rab > people <5971 <am >: and they shall beat <3807 kathath >
their swords <2719 chereb > into plowshares <0855 >eth >, and
their spears <2595 chaniyth > into pruninghooks <4211 mazmerah >:
nation <1471 gowy > shall not lift <5375 nasa> > up sword <2719
chereb > against <0413 >el > nation <1471 gowy >, neither <3808

5 O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, come <3212
yalak > ye, and let us walk <3212 yalak > in the light <0216
>owr > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
6. Therefore thou hast forsaken <5203 natash > thy people <5971
<am > the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, because
<3588 kiy > they be replenished <4390 male> > from the east
<6924 qedem >, and [are] soothsayers <6049 <anan > like the
Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >, and they please <5606 caphaq >
themselves in the children <3206 yeled > of strangers <5237
nokriy >.
7 Their land <0776 >erets > also is full <4390 male> > of
silver <3701 keceph > and gold <2091 zahab >, neither <3808 lo>

of horses <5483 cuwc >, neither <3808 lo> > [is there any] end
<7097 qatseh > of their chariots <4818 merkabah >:
8 Their land <0776 >erets > also is full <4390 male> > of idols
<0457 >eliyl >; they worship <7812 shachah > the work <4639
ma<aseh > of their own hands <3027 yad >, that which <0834 >aher

9 And the mean <0120 >adam > man <1201 Ba<sha> > boweth <7817
shachach > down <7817 shachach >, and the great man <0376 >iysh

10. Enter <0935 bow> > into the rock <6697 tsuwr >, and hide
<2934 taman > thee in the dust <6083 <aphar >, for fear <6343
pachad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and for the glory <1926
hadar > of his majesty <1347 ga>own >.
11 The lofty <1365 gabhuwth > looks <5869 <ayin > of man <0120

<7312 ruwm > of men <0582 >enowsh > shall be bowed <7817
shachach > down <7817 shachach >, and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
alone <0905 bad > shall be exalted <7682 sagab > in that day
<3117 yowm >.
12 For the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> > [shall be] upon every <3605 kol > [one that
is] proud <1343 ge>eh > and lofty <7311 ruwm >, and upon every

13 And upon all <3605 kol > the cedars <0730 >erez > of Lebanon
<3844 L@banown >, [that are] high <7311 ruwm > and lifted <5375

Bashan <1316 Bashan >,
14 And upon all <3605 kol > the high <7311 ruwm > mountains

[that are] lifted <5375 nasa> > up,

16 And upon all <3605 kol > the ships <0591 >oniyah > of
Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh >, and upon all <3605 kol > pleasant

17 And the loftiness <1365 gabhuwth > of man <0120 >adam >
shall be bowed <7817 shachach > down <7817 shachach >, and the
haughtiness <7312 ruwm > of men <0582 >enowsh > shall be made
low <8213 shaphel >: and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > alone <0905

18 And the idols <0457 >eliyl > he shall utterly <3632 kaliyl >
abolish <2498 chalaph >.
19 And they shall go <0935 bow> > into the holes <4631 m@<arah

20 In that day <3117 yowm > a man <0120 >adam > shall cast

and his idols <0457 >eliyl > of gold <2091 zahab >, which <0834

21 To go <0935 bow> > into the clefts <5366 n@qarah > of the
rocks <6697 tsuwr >, and into the tops <5585 ca<iyph > of the
ragged rocks <5553 cela< >, for fear <6343 pachad > of the LORD

22 Cease <2308 chadal > ye from man <0120 >adam >, whose <0834

of?
Isaiah 3
1. For, behold <2009 hinneh >, the Lord <0113 >adown >, the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, doth take <5493
cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and
from Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > the stay <4937 mish<en > and the
staff <4938 mish<enah >, the whole <3605 kol > stay <8172 sha<an

mish<en > of water <4325 mayim >,
2 The mighty <1368 gibbowr > man, and the man <0376 >iysh > of
war <4421 milchamah >, the judge <8199 shaphat >, and the
prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and the prudent <7080 qacam >, and the
ancient <2204 zaqen >,
3 The captain <8269 sar > of fifty <2572 chamishshiym >, and
the honourable man, and the counsellor <3289 ya<ats >, and the
cunning <2450 chakam > artificer <2796 charash >, and the
eloquent <0995 biyn > orator <3908 lachash >.
4 And I will give <5414 nathan > children <5288 na<ar > [to be]
their princes <8269 sar >, and babes <8586 ta<aluwl > shall rule
<4910 mashal > over them.
5 And the people <5971 <am > shall be oppressed <5065 nagas >,
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > by another, and every
<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > by his neighbour <7453 rea< >:
the child <5288 na<ar > shall behave <7292 rahab > himself
proudly <7292 rahab > against the ancient <2204 zaqen >, and the
base <7034 qalah > against the honourable <3519 kabowd >.
6 When <3588 kiy > a man <0376 >iysh > shall take <8610 taphas

<1004 bayith > of his father <1>, [saying], Thou hast clothing
<8071 simlah >, be thou our ruler <7101 qatsiyn >, and [let]
this <2063 zo>th > ruin <4384 makshelah > [be] under <8478
tachath > thy hand <3027 yad >:
7 In that day <3117 yowm > shall he swear <5375 nasa> >, saying
<0559 >amar >, I will not be an healer <2280 chabash >; for in
my house <1004 bayith > [is] neither <0369 >ayin > bread <3899
lechem > nor <0369 >ayin > clothing <8071 simlah >: make <7760
suwm > me not a ruler <7101 qatsiyn > of the people <5971 <am >.
8 For Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is ruined <3782 kashal >,
and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > is fallen <5307 naphal >: because
<3588 kiy > their tongue <3956 lashown > and their doings <4611
ma<alal > [are] against <0413 >el > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to
provoke <4784 marah > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of his glory <3519
kabowd >.
9. The shew <1971 hakkarah > of their countenance <6440 paniym

10 Say <0559 >amar > ye to the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >, that
[it shall be] well <2896 towb > [with him]: for they shall eat

11 Woe <0188 >owy > unto the wicked <7563 rasha< >! [it shall

his hands <3027 yad > shall be given <6213 <asah > him.
12 [As for] my people <5971 <am >, children <5768 <owlel >
[are] their oppressors <5065 nagas >, and women <0802 >ishshah >
rule <4910 mashal > over them. O my people <5971 <am >, they
which lead <0833 >ashar > thee cause [thee] to err <8582 ta<ah >,

<0734 >orach >.
13 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > standeth <5324 natsab > up to plead
<7378 riyb >, and standeth <5975 <amad > to judge <1777 diyn >
the people <5971 <am >.
14 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will enter <0935 bow> > into
judgment <4941 mishpat > with the ancients <2204 zaqen > of his
people <5971 <am >, and the princes <8269 sar > thereof: for ye
have eaten <0398 >akal > up the vineyard <3754 kerem >; the
spoil <1500 g@zelah > of the poor <6041 <aniy > [is] in your
houses <1004 bayith >.
15 What <4100 mah > mean ye [that] ye beat <1792 daka> > my

<6440 paniym > of the poor <6041 <aniy >? saith <5002 n@>um >
the Lord <3068 Y@hovah > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635

16. Moreover the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar >,
Because the daughters <1121 ben > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > are
haughty <1361 gabahh >, and walk <3212 yalak > with stretched
<5186 natah > forth necks <1627 garown > and wanton <8265 saqar

taphaph > [as] they go <3212 yalak >, and making a tinkling
<5913 <akac > with their feet <7272 regel >:
17 Therefore the Lord <0136 >Adonay > will smite <5596 caphach

head <6936 qodqod > of the daughters <1121 ben > of Zion <6726
Tsiyown >, and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will discover <6168
<arah > their secret <6596 poth > parts.
18 In that day <3117 yowm > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > will take
<5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the bravery <8597 tiph>arah > of
[their] tinkling ornaments <5914 <ekec > [about their feet], and
[their] cauls <7636 shabiyc >, and [their] round <7720 saharon >
tires <7720 saharon > like the moon,
19 The chains <5188 n@tiyphah >, and the bracelets <8285 sherah

20 The bonnets <6287 p@>er >, and the ornaments <6807 ts@<adah

21 The rings <2885 tabba<ath >, and nose <0639 >aph > jewels

22 The changeable <4254 machalatsah > suits of apparel <4254

23 The glasses <1549 gillayown >, and the fine linen <5466
cadiyn >, and the hoods <6797 tsaniyph >, and the vails <7289

24 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] instead
<8478 tachath > of sweet <1314 besem > smell <1314 besem > there
shall be stink <4716 maq >; and instead <8478 tachath > of a
girdle <2290 chagowr > a rent <5364 niqpah >; and instead <8478
tachath > of well <4639 ma<aseh > set hair <4748 miqsheh >
baldness <7144 qorchah >; and instead <8478 tachath > of a
stomacher <6614 p@thiygiyl > a girding <4228 machagoreth > of
sackcloth <8242 saq >; [and] burning <3587 kiy > instead <8478
tachath > of beauty <3308 yophiy >.
25 Thy men <4962 math > shall fall <5307 naphal > by the sword
<2719 chereb >, and thy mighty <1369 g@buwrah > in the war <4421
milchamah >.
26 And her gates <6607 pethach > shall lament <0578 >anah > and
mourn <56>; and she [being] desolate <5352 naqah > shall sit
<3427 yashab > upon the ground <0776 >erets >.
Isaiah 4
1. And in that day <3117 yowm > seven <7651 sheba< > women

We will eat <0398 >akal > our own bread <3899 lechem >, and wear

let us be called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >, to take

2. In that day <3117 yowm > shall the branch <6780 tsemach > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > be beautiful <6643 ts@biy > and
glorious <3519 kabowd >, and the fruit <6529 p@riy > of the

comely <8597 tiph>arah > for them that are escaped <6413

3 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that he that is]
left <7604 sha>ar > in Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, and [he that]
remaineth <3498 yathar > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,

4 When <0518 >im > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > shall have washed

5 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will create <1254 bara> > upon

Isaiah 5
1. Now <4994 na> > will I sing <7891 shiyr > to my wellbeloved

touching his vineyard <3754 kerem >. My wellbeloved <3039 y@diyd

2 And he fenced <5823 <azaq > it, and gathered out the stones
<5619 caqal > thereof, and planted <5193 nata< > it with the
choicest <8321 soreq > vine <8321 soreq >, and built <1129 banah

also <1571 gam > made <2672 chatsab > a winepress <3342 yeqeb >
therein <8432 tavek >: and he looked <6960 qavah > that it
should bring <6213 <asah > forth <6213 <asah > grapes <6025

<0891 b@>ushiym > grapes <0891 b@>ushiym >.
3 And now <6258 <attah >, O inhabitants <3427 yashab > of
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and men <0376 >iysh > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah >, judge <8199 shaphat >, I pray <4994 na> > you,
betwixt <0996 beyn > me and my vineyard <3754 kerem >.
4 What <4100 mah > could have been done <6466 pa<al > more
<5750 <owd > to my vineyard <3754 kerem >, that I have not done
<6466 pa<al > in it? wherefore <4069 madduwa< >, when I looked
<6960 qavah > that it should bring <6213 <asah > forth <6213

<6213 <asah > wild <0891 b@>ushiym > grapes <0891 b@>ushiym >?
5 And now <6258 <attah > go to; I will tell <3045 yada< > you
what I will do <6213 <asah > to my vineyard <3754 kerem >: I
will take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the hedge <4881
m@suwkah > thereof, and it shall be eaten <0398 >akal > up;
[and] break <6555 parats > down the wall <1447 gader > thereof,
and it shall be trodden <4823 mirmac > down:
6 And I will lay it waste <1326 bathah >: it shall not be
pruned <2167 zamar >, nor <3808 lo> > digged <5737 <adar >; but
there shall come <5927 <alah > up briers <8068 shamiyr > and
thorns <7898 shayith >: I will also command <6680 tsavah > the
clouds <5645 <ab > that they rain <4305 matar > no rain <4306

7 For the vineyard <3754 kerem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] the house <1004 bayith > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, and the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > his pleasant <8191 sha<shua< > plant <5194 neta< >:
and he looked <6970 Qowa< > for judgment <4941 mishpat >, but
behold <2009 hinneh > oppression <4939 mispach >; for
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, but behold <2009 hinneh > a cry
<6818 tsa<aqah >.
8. Woe <1945 howy > unto them that join <5060 naga< > house
<1004 bayith > to house <1004 bayith >, [that] lay <7126 qarab >
field <7704 sadeh > to field <7704 sadeh >, till <5704 <ad >
[there be] no <0675 >Etsbown > place <4725 maqowm >, that they
may be placed <3427 yashab > alone <0905 bad > in the midst
<7130 qereb > of the earth <0776 >erets >!
9 In mine ears <0241 >ozen > [said] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Of a truth many <7227 rab > houses <1004
bayith > shall be desolate <8047 shammah >, [even] great <1419

10 Yea <3588 kiy >, ten <6235 <eser > acres <6776 tsemed > of
vineyard <3754 kerem > shall yield <6213 <asah > one <0259

homer <2563 chomer > shall yield <6213 <asah > an ephah <0374

11 Woe <1945 howy > unto them that rise <7925 shakam > up early
<7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer >, [that] they may
follow <7291 radaph > strong drink <7941 shekar >; that continue
<0309 >achar > until night <5399 nesheph >, [till] wine <3196
yayin > inflame <1814 dalaq > them!
12 And the harp <3658 kinnowr >, and the viol <5035 nebel >,
the tabret <8596 toph >, and pipe <2485 chaliyl >, and wine
<3196 yayin >, are in their feasts <4960 mishteh >: but they
regard <5027 nabat > not the work <6467 po<al > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, neither <3808 lo> > consider <7200 ra>ah > the
operation <4639 ma<aseh > of his hands <3027 yad >.
13 Therefore <3651 ken > my people <5971 <am > are gone into
captivity <1540 galah >, because [they have] no <1097 b@liy >
knowledge <1847 da<ath >: and their honourable <3519 kabowd >
men <4962 math > [are] famished <7458 ra<ab >, and their
multitude <1995 hamown > dried <6704 tsicheh > up with thirst
<6772 tsama> >.
14 Therefore <3651 ken > hell <7585 sh@>owl > hath enlarged
<7337 rachab > herself <5315 nephesh >, and opened <6473 pa<ar >
her mouth <6310 peh > without <1097 b@liy > measure <2706 choq >:
and their glory <1926 hadar >, and their multitude <1995 hamown

<alaz >, shall descend <3381 yarad > into it.
15 And the mean <0120 >adam > man <0120 >adam > shall be
brought <7817 shachach > down <7817 shachach >, and the mighty
<0376 >iysh > man <0376 >iysh > shall be humbled <8213 shaphel >,
and the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the lofty <1364 gaboahh > shall
be humbled <8213 shaphel >:
16 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > shall
be exalted <1361 gabahh > in judgment <4941 mishpat >, and God
<0410 >el > that is holy <6918 qadowsh > shall be sanctified
<6942 qadash > in righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >.
17 Then shall the lambs <3532 kebes > feed <7462 ra<ah > after
their manner <1699 dober >, and the waste <2723 chorbah > places
of the fat <4220 meach > ones shall strangers <1481 guwr > eat
<0398 >akal >.
18. Woe <1945 howy > unto them that draw <4900 mashak >
iniquity <5771 <avon > with cords <2256 chebel > of vanity <7723
shav> >, and sin <2402 chatta>ah > as it were with a cart <5699

19 That say <0559 >amar >, Let him make speed <4116 mahar >,
[and] hasten <2363 chuwsh > his work <4639 ma<aseh >, that we
may see <7200 ra>ah > [it]: and let the counsel <6098 <etsah >

nigh <7126 qarab > and come <0935 bow> >, that we may know <3045
yada< > [it]!
20 Woe <1945 howy > unto them that call <0559 >amar > evil
<7451 ra< > good <2896 towb >, and good <2896 towb > evil <7451
ra< >; that put <7760 suwm > darkness <2822 choshek > for light

mathowq >, and sweet <4966 mathowq > for bitter <4751 mar >!
21 Woe <1945 howy > unto [them that are] wise <2450 chakam > in
their own eyes <5869 <ayin >, and prudent <0995 biyn > in their
own sight <6440 paniym >!
22 Woe <1945 howy > unto [them that are] mighty <1368 gibbowr >
to drink <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin >, and men <0582
>enowsh > of strength <2428 chayil > to mingle <4537 macak >
strong drink <7941 shekar >:
23 Which justify <6663 tsadaq > the wicked <7563 rasha< > for
reward <7810 shachad >, and take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >
the righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > of the righteous <6662
tsaddiyq > from him!
24 Therefore <3651 ken > as the fire <0784 >esh > devoureth
<0398 >akal > the stubble <7179 qash >, and the flame <3852
lehabah > consumeth <7503 raphah > the chaff <2842 chashash >,
[so] their root <8328 sheresh > shall be as rottenness <4716 maq

dust <80>: because <3588 kiy > they have cast <3988 ma>ac > away
the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> >, and despised <5006 na>ats > the word <0565
>imrah > of the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >.
25 Therefore is the anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > kindled <2734 charah > against his people <5971 <am >,
and he hath stretched <5186 natah > forth his hand <3027 yad >
against <5921 <al > them, and hath smitten <5221 nakah > them:
and the hills <2022 har > did tremble <7264 ragaz >, and their
carcases <5038 n@belah > [were] torn <5478 cuwchah > in the
midst <7130 qereb > of the streets <2351 chuwts >. For all <3605

<7725 shuwb > away, but his hand <3027 yad > [is] stretched
<5186 natah > out still <5750 <owd >.
26 And he will lift <5375 nasa> > up an ensign <5251 nec > to
the nations <1471 gowy > from far <7350 rachowq >, and will hiss
<8319 sharaq > unto them from the end <7097 qatseh > of the
earth <0776 >erets >: and, behold <2009 hinneh >, they shall
come <0935 bow> > with speed <4120 m@herah > swiftly <7031 qal >:
27 None <0369 >ayin > shall be weary <5889 <ayeph > nor <3808

slumber <5123 nuwm > nor <3808 lo> > sleep <3463 yashen >;
neither <3808 lo> > shall the girdle <0232 >ezowr > of their
loins <2504 chalats > be loosed <6605 pathach >, nor <3808 lo> >
the latchet <8288 s@rowk > of their shoes <5275 na<al > be
broken <5423 nathaq >:
28 Whose <0834 >aher > arrows <2671 chets > [are] sharp <8150
shanan >, and all <3605 kol > their bows <7198 qesheth > bent
<1869 darak >, their horses <5483 cuwc >' hoofs <6541 parcah >
shall be counted <2803 chashab > like flint <6864 tsor >, and
their wheels <1534 galgal > like a whirlwind:
29 Their roaring <7581 sh@agah > [shall be] like a lion <3833

k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr >: yea, they shall roar <5098
naham >, and lay hold <0270 >achaz > of the prey <2964 tereph >,
and shall carry <6403 palat > [it] away safe <6403 palat >, and
none <0369 >ayin > shall deliver <5337 natsal > [it].
30 And in that day <3117 yowm > they shall roar <5098 naham >
against <5921 <al > them like the roaring <5100 n@hamah > of the
sea <3220 yam >: and if [one] look <5027 nabat > unto the land
<0776 >erets >, behold <2009 hinneh > darkness <2822 choshek >
[and] sorrow <6862 tsar >, and the light <0216 >owr > is
darkened <2821 chashak > in the heavens <6183 <ariyph > thereof.
Isaiah 6
1. In the year <8141 shaneh > that king <4428 melek > Uzziah
<5818 <Uzziyah > died <4194 maveth > I saw <7200 ra>ah > also
the Lord <0136 >Adonay > sitting <3427 yashab > upon a throne
<3678 kicce> >, high <7311 ruwm > and lifted <5375 nasa> > up,
and his train <7757 shuwl > filled <4390 male> > the temple
<1964 heykal >.
2 Above <4605 ma<al > it stood <5975 <amad > the seraphims
<8314 saraph >: each <0259 >echad > one <0259 >echad > had six

<8147 sh@nayim > he covered <3680 kacah > his feet <7272 regel >,
and with twain <8147 sh@nayim > he did fly <5774 <uwph >.
3 And one cried <7121 qara> > unto another <2088 zeh >, and
said <0559 >amar >, Holy <6918 qadowsh >, holy <6918 qadowsh >,
holy <6918 qadowsh >, [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> >: the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets > [is]
full <4393 m@lo> > of his glory <3519 kabowd >.
4 And the posts <0520 >ammah > of the door <5592 caph > moved
<5128 nuwa< > at the voice <6963 qowl > of him that cried <7121

with smoke <6227 <ashan >.
5. Then said <0559 >amar > I, Woe <0188 >owy > [is] me! for I
am undone <1820 damah >; because <3588 kiy > I [am] a man <0376
>iysh > of unclean <2931 tame> > lips <8193 saphah >, and I
dwell <3427 yashab > in the midst <8432 tavek > of a people
<5971 <am > of unclean <2931 tame> > lips <8193 saphah >: for
mine eyes <5869 <ayin > have seen <7200 ra>ah > the King <4428
melek >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.
6 Then flew <5774 <uwph > one <0259 >echad > of the seraphims
<8314 saraph > unto me, having a live <7531 ritspah > coal <7531
ritspah > in his hand <3027 yad >, [which] he had taken <3947
laqach > with the tongs <4457 melqach > from off <5921 <al > the
altar <4196 mizbeach >:
7 And he laid <5060 naga< > [it] upon my mouth <6310 peh >, and
said <0559 >amar >, Lo <2009 hinneh >, this <2088 zeh > hath
touched <5060 naga< > thy lips <8193 saphah >; and thine
iniquity <5771 <avon > is taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >,
and thy sin <2403 chatta>ah > purged <3722 kaphar >.
8 Also I heard <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the
Lord <0136 >Adonay >, saying <0559 >amar >, Whom shall I send
<7971 shalach >, and who <4310 miy > will go <3212 yalak > for
us? Then said <0559 >amar > I, Here <2005 hen > [am] I; send
<7971 shalach > me.
9. And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak >, and tell <0559
>amar > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, Hear <8085 shama< >
ye indeed, but understand <0995 biyn > not; and see <7200 ra>ah

10 Make the heart <3820 leb > of this <2088 zeh > people <5971
<am > fat <8082 shamen >, and make their ears <0241 >ozen >
heavy <3513 kabad >, and shut <8173 sha<a< > their eyes <5869
<ayin >; lest <6435 pen > they see <7200 ra>ah > with their eyes
<5869 <ayin >, and hear <8085 shama< > with their ears <0241
>ozen >, and understand <0995 biyn > with their heart <3824
lebab >, and convert <7725 shuwb >, and be healed <7495 rapha> >.
11 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Lord <0136 >Adonay >, how <5704
<ad > long <5704 <ad >? And he answered <0559 >amar >, Until
<5704 <ad > the cities <5892 <iyr > be wasted <7582 sha>ah >
without <0369 >ayin > inhabitant <3427 yashab >, and the houses
<1004 bayith > without <0369 >ayin > man <0120 >adam >, and the
land <0127 >adamah > be utterly desolate <8077 sh@mamah >,
12 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have removed <7368 rachaq > men
<0120 >adam > far <7368 rachaq > away, and [there be] a great
<7227 rab > forsaking <5805 <azuwbah > in the midst <7130 qereb

13 But yet <5750 <owd > in it [shall be] a tenth <6224 <asiyriy

ba<ar >: as a teil <0424 >elah > tree, and as an oak <0437

[is] in them, when <0834 >aher > they cast <7995 shalleketh >
[their leaves: so] the holy <6944 qodesh > seed <2233 zera< >
[shall be] the substance <4678 matstsebeth > thereof.
Isaiah 7
1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the days <3117 yowm >
of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > the son <1121 ben > of Jotham <3147
Yowtham >, the son <1121 ben > of Uzziah <5818 <Uzziyah >, king
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, [that] Rezin the king
<4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram >, and Pekah <6492 Peqach >
the son <1121 ben > of Remaliah <7425 R@malyahuw >, king <4428
melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, went <5927 <alah > up toward
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to war <4421 milchamah > against
<5921 <al > it, but could <3201 yakol > not prevail <3898 lacham

2 And it was told <5046 nagad > the house <1004 bayith > of
David <1732 David >, saying <0559 >amar >, Syria <0758 >Aram >
is confederate <5117 nuwach > with Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim >.
And his heart <3824 lebab > was moved <5128 nuwa< >, and the
heart <3824 lebab > of his people <5971 <am >, as the trees
<6086 <ets > of the wood <3293 ya<ar > are moved <5128 nuwa< >
with the wind <7307 ruwach >.
3 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto Isaiah
<3470 Y@sha<yah >, Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > now
<4994 na> > to meet <7125 qir>ah > Ahaz <0271 >Achaz >, thou,
and Shearjashub <7610 Sh@>ar Yashuwb > thy son <1121 ben >, at
<0413 >el > the end <7097 qatseh > of the conduit <8585 t@<alah

highway <4546 m@cillah > of the fuller's <3526 kabac > field
<7704 sadeh >;
4 And say <0559 >amar > unto him, Take heed <8104 shamar >, and
be quiet <8252 shaqat >; fear <3372 yare> > not, neither <0408
>al > be fainthearted <3824 lebab > for the two <8147 sh@nayim >
tails <2180 zanab > of these <0428 >el-leh > smoking <6226
<ashen > firebrands <0181 >uwd >, for the fierce <2750 choriy >
anger <0639 >aph > of Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn > with Syria <0758
>Aram >, and of the son <1121 ben > of Remaliah <7425 R@malyahuw

5 Because Syria <0758 >Aram >, Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim >, and
the son <1121 ben > of Remaliah <7425 R@malyahuw >, have taken
evil <7451 ra< > counsel <3289 ya<ats > against <5921 <al > thee,
saying <0559 >amar >,
6 Let us go <5927 <alah > up against Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,
and vex <6972 quwts > it, and let us make a breach <1234 baqa< >
therein for us, and set a king <4428 melek > in the midst <8432
tavek > of it, [even] the son <1121 ben > of Tabeal <2870
tab@>el >:
7 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >
GOD <3069 Y@hovih >, It shall not stand <6965 quwm >, neither
<3808 lo> > shall it come <1961 hayah > to pass.
8 For the head <7218 ro>sh > of Syria <0758 >Aram > [is]
Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, and the head <7218 ro>sh > of
Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > [is] Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn >; and within
threescore <7657 shib<iym. > and five <2568 chamesh > years
<8141 shaneh > shall Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > be broken <2844
chath >, that it be not a people <5971 <am >.
9 And the head <7218 ro>sh > of Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > [is]
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and the head <7218 ro>sh > of Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown > [is] Remaliah's <7425 R@malyahuw > son <1121
ben >. If <0518 >im > ye will not believe <0539 >aman >, surely
<3588 kiy > ye shall not be established <0539 >aman >.
10. Moreover the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > again
<3254 yacaph > unto Ahaz <0271 >Achaz >, saying <0559 >amar >,
11 Ask <7592 sha>al > thee a sign <0226 >owth > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >; ask <7592 sha>al > it
either in the depth <6009 <amaq >, or <0176 >ow > in the height
<1361 gabahh > above <4605 ma<al >.
12 But Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > said <0559 >amar >, I will not ask
<7592 sha>al >, neither <3808 lo> > will I tempt <5254 nacah >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
13 And he said <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > ye now <4994
na> >, O house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David >; [Is it] a
small <4592 m@<at > thing for you to weary <3811 la>ah > men
<0582 >enowsh >, but will ye weary <3811 la>ah > my God <0430
>elohiym > also <1571 gam >?
14 Therefore <3651 ken > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > himself <1931
huw> > shall give <5414 nathan > you a sign <0226 >owth >;
Behold <2009 hinneh >, a virgin <5959 <almah > shall conceive
<2030 hareh >, and bear <3205 yalad > a son <1121 ben >, and
shall call <7121 qara> > his name <8034 shem > Immanuel <6005
<Immanuw>el >.
15 Butter <2529 chem>ah > and honey <1706 d@bash > shall he eat
<0398 >akal >, that he may know <3045 yada< > to refuse <3988
ma>ac > the evil <7451 ra< >, and choose <0977 bachar > the good
<2896 towb >.
16 For before <2962 terem > the child <5288 na<ar > shall know
<3045 yada< > to refuse <3988 ma>ac > the evil <7451 ra< >, and
choose <0977 bachar > the good <2896 towb >, the land <0127

<5800 <azab > of both <8147 sh@nayim > her kings <4428 melek >.
17. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall bring <0935 bow> > upon thee,
and upon thy people <5971 <am >, and upon thy father's <1>
house <1004 bayith >, days <3117 yowm > that have not come <0935

departed <5493 cuwr > from Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; [even <0853

18 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117
yowm >, [that] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall hiss <8319 sharaq

qatseh > part of the rivers <2975 y@<or > of Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >, and for the bee <1682 d@bowrah > that [is] in the
land <0776 >erets > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.
19 And they shall come <0935 bow> >, and shall rest <5117
nuwach > all <3605 kol > of them in the desolate <1327 battah >
valleys <5158 nachal >, and in the holes <5357 naqiyq > of the
rocks <5553 cela< >, and upon all <3605 kol > thorns <5285
na<atsuwts >, and upon all <3605 kol > bushes <5097 nahalol >.
20 In the same <1931 huw> > day <3117 yowm > shall the Lord
<0136 >Adonay > shave <1548 galach > with a razor <8593 ta<ar >
that is hired <7917 s@kiyrah >, [namely], by them beyond <5676
<eber > the river <5104 nahar >, by the king <4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, the head <7218 ro>sh >, and the hair
<8181 se<ar > of the feet <7272 regel >: and it shall also <1571
gam > consume <5595 caphah > the beard <2206 zaqan >.
21 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117
yowm >, [that] a man <0376 >iysh > shall nourish <2421 chayah >
a young <1241 baqar > cow <5697 <eglah >, and two <8147 sh@nayim

22 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, for the abundance
<7230 rob > of milk <2461 chalab > [that] they shall give <6213
<asah > he shall eat <0398 >akal > butter <2529 chem>ah >: for
butter <2529 chem>ah > and honey <1706 d@bash > shall every
<3605 kol > one eat <0398 >akal > that is left <3498 yathar > in
the land <0776 >erets >.
23 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117
yowm >, [that] every <3605 kol > place <4725 maqowm > shall be,
where <0834 >aher > there were a thousand <0505 >eleph > vines

keceph >, it shall [even] be for briers <8068 shamiyr > and
thorns <7898 shayith >.
24 With arrows <2671 chets > and with bows <7198 qesheth >
shall [men] come <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham >; because
<3588 kiy > all <3605 kol > the land <0776 >erets > shall become
<1961 hayah > briers <8068 shamiyr > and thorns <7898 shayith >.
25 And [on] all <3605 kol > hills <2022 har > that shall be
digged <5737 <adar > with the mattock <4576 ma<der >, there
shall not come <0935 bow> > thither <8033 sham > the fear <3374

but it shall be for the sending <4916 mishlowach > forth of oxen
<7794 showr >, and for the treading <4823 mirmac > of lesser

Isaiah 8
1. Moreover the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me,
Take <3947 laqach > thee a great <1419 gadowl > roll <1549
gillayown >, and write <3789 kathab > in it with a man's <0582

Maher Shalal Chash Baz >.
2 And I took unto me faithful <0539 >aman > witnesses <5707 <ed

<3548 kohen >, and Zechariah <2148 Z@karyah > the son <1121 ben

3 And I went <7126 qarab > unto the prophetess <5031 n@biy>ah >;
and she conceived <2030 hareh >, and bare <3205 yalad > a son
<1121 ben >. Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to
me, Call <7121 qara> > his name <8034 shem > Mahershalalhashbaz
<4122 Maher Shalal Chash Baz >.
4 For before <2962 terem > the child <5288 na<ar > shall have
knowledge <3045 yada< > to cry <7121 qara> >, My father <1>, and
my mother <0517 >em >, the riches <2428 chayil > of Damascus
<1834 Dammeseq > and the spoil <7998 shalal > of Samaria <8111
Shom@rown > shall be taken <5375 nasa> > away before <6440
paniym > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.
5 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > also unto me
again <3254 yacaph >, saying <0559 >amar >,
6 Forasmuch as this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > refuseth
<3988 ma>ac > the waters <4325 mayim > of Shiloah <7975 Shiloach

7 Now therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the Lord
<0136 >Adonay > bringeth <5927 <alah > up upon them the waters
<4325 mayim > of the river <5104 nahar >, strong <6099 <atsuwm >

halak > over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > his banks <1415 gadah >:
8 And he shall pass <2498 chalaph > through Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >; he shall overflow <7857 shataph > and go <5674 <abar

9. Associate <7489 ra<a< > yourselves, O ye people <5971 <am >,
and ye shall be broken <2844 chath > in pieces; and give ear
<0238 >azan >, all <3605 kol > ye of far <4801 merchaq >

yourselves, and ye shall be broken <2844 chath > in pieces.
10 Take counsel <6098 <etsah > together, and it shall come to
nought <6565 parar >; speak <1696 dabar > the word <1697 dabar >,
and it shall not stand <6965 quwm >: for God <0410 >el > [is]
with us.
11 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <0559 >amar > thus <3541
koh > to me with a strong <2393 chezqah > hand <3027 yad >, and
instructed <3256 yacar > me that I should not walk <3212 yalak >
in the way <1870 derek > of this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >,
saying <0559 >amar >,
12 Say <0559 >amar > ye not, A confederacy <7195 qesher >, to
all <3605 kol > [them to] whom <0834 >aher > this <2088 zeh >
people <5971 <am > shall say <0559 >amar >, A confederacy <7195
qesher >; neither <3808 lo> > fear <3372 yare> > ye their fear

13 Sanctify <6942 qadash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > himself; and [let] him [be] your fear <4172
mowra> >, and [let] him [be] your dread <6206 <arats >.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary <4720 miqdash >; but for a
stone <68> of stumbling <5063 negeph > and for a rock <6697
tsuwr > of offence <4383 mikshowl > to both <8147 sh@nayim > the
houses <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, for a gin
<6341 pach > and for a snare <4170 mowqesh > to the inhabitants
<3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
15 And many <7227 rab > among them shall stumble <3782 kashal >,
and fall <5307 naphal >, and be broken <7665 shabar >, and be
snared <3369 yaqosh >, and be taken <3920 lakad >.
16. Bind <6887 tsarar > up the testimony <8584 t@<uwdah >, seal
<2856 chatham > the law <8451 towrah > among my disciples <3928
limmuwd >.
17 And I will wait <2442 chakah > upon the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
that hideth <5641 cathar > his face <6440 paniym > from the
house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and I will look
<6960 qavah > for him.
18 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I and the children <3206 yeled > whom
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath given <5414 nathan >
me [are] for signs <0226 >owth > and for wonders <4159 mowpheth

19 And when <3588 kiy > they shall say <0559 >amar > unto you,
Seek <1875 darash > unto them that have familiar spirits <0178

for the living <2416 chay > to the dead <4191 muwth >?
20 To the law <8451 towrah > and to the testimony <8584

because <0834 >aher > [there is] no <0369 >ayin > light <7837

21 And they shall pass <5674 <abar > through it, hardly <7185

<1961 hayah > to pass, that when <3588 kiy > they shall be
hungry <7456 ra<eb >, they shall fret <7107 qatsaph > themselves,
and curse <7043 qalal > their king <4428 melek > and their God
<0430 >elohiym >, and look <6437 panah > upward <4605 ma<al >.
22 And they shall look <5027 nabat > unto the earth <0776

darkness <2825 chashekah >, dimness <4588 ma<uwph > of anguish

darkness <0653 >aphelah >.
Isaiah 9
1. Nevertheless <3588 kiy > the dimness <4155 muw<aph > [shall]

Jordan <3383 Yarden >, in Galilee <1551 Galiyl > of the nations

2 The people <5971 <am > that walked <1980 halak > in darkness
<2822 choshek > have seen <7200 ra>ah > a great <1419 gadowl >

rejoice <1523 giyl > when they divide <2505 chalaq > the spoil

4 For thou hast broken <2865 chathath > the yoke <5923 <ol > of
his burden <5448 cobel >, and the staff <4294 matteh > of his
shoulder <7926 sh@kem >, the rod <7626 shebet > of his oppressor
<5065 nagas >, as in the day <3117 yowm > of Midian <4080 Midyan

5 For every <3605 kol > battle <5430 c@>own > of the warrior

6 For unto us a child <3206 yeled > is born <3205 yalad >, unto

8. The Lord <3068 Y@hovah > sent <7971 shalach > a word <1697

naphal > upon Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
9 And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > shall know <3045
yada< >, [even] Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > and the inhabitant
<3427 yashab > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, that say <0559

of heart <3824 lebab >,
10 The bricks <3843 l@benah > are fallen <5307 naphal > down,
but we will build <1129 banah > with hewn <1496 gaziyth > stones
<1496 gaziyth >: the sycomores <8256 shaqam > are cut <1438

[them into] cedars <0730 >erez >.
11 Therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall set <7682 sagab >
up the adversaries <6862 tsar > of Rezin <7526 R@tsiyn > against
<5921 <al > him, and join <5526 cakak > his enemies <0341 >oyeb

12 The Syrians <0758 >Aram > before <6924 qedem >, and the
Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > behind <0268 >achowr >; and they
shall devour <0398 >akal > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > with open
<6605 pathach > mouth <6310 peh >. For all <3605 kol > this
<2063 zo>th > his anger <0639 >aph > is not turned <7725 shuwb >
away, but his hand <3027 yad > [is] stretched <5186 natah > out
still <5750 <owd >.
13 For the people <5971 <am > turneth <7725 shuwb > not unto
him that smiteth <5221 nakah > them, neither <3808 lo> > do they
seek <1875 darash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635

14 Therefore the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will cut <3772 karath >
off from Israel <3478 Yisra>el > head <7218 ro>sh > and tail
<2180 zanab >, branch <3712 kippah > and rush <0100 >agmown >,
in one <0259 >echad > day <3117 yowm >.
15 The ancient <2204 zaqen > and honourable, he [is] the head
<7218 ro>sh >; and the prophet <5030 nabiy> > that teacheth
<3384 yarah > lies <8267 sheqer >, he [is] the tail <2180 zanab

16 For the leaders <0833 >ashar > of this <2088 zeh > people
<5971 <am > cause [them] to err <8582 ta<ah >; and [they that
are] led <0833 >ashar > of them [are] destroyed <1104 bala< >.
17 Therefore the Lord <0136 >Adonay > shall have no <3808 lo> >
joy <8055 samach > in their young <0970 bachuwr > men, neither
<3808 lo> > shall have mercy <7355 racham > on their fatherless
<3490 yathowm > and widows <0490 >almanah >: for every <3605 kol

but his hand <3027 yad > [is] stretched <5186 natah > out still
<5750 <owd >.
18 For wickedness <7564 rish<ah > burneth <1197 ba<ar > as the
fire <0784 >esh >: it shall devour <0398 >akal > the briers
<8068 shamiyr > and thorns <7898 shayith >, and shall kindle
<3341 yatsath > in the thickets <5442 c@bak > of the forest
<3293 ya<ar >, and they shall mount <55> up [like] the lifting
<1348 ge>uwth > up of smoke <6227 <ashan >.
19 Through the wrath <5678 <ebrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
of hosts <6635 tsaba> > is the land <0776 >erets > darkened
<6272 <atham >, and the people <5971 <am > shall be as the fuel

<0376 >iysh > shall spare <2550 chamal > his brother <0251 >ach

20 And he shall snatch <1504 gazar > on <5921 <al > the right
<3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn >, and be hungry <7456 ra<eb >;
and he shall eat <0398 >akal > on <5921 <al > the left <8040

<7646 saba< >: they shall eat <0398 >akal > every man <0376

21 Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh >, Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim >; and
Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim >, Manasseh <4519 M@nashsheh >: [and]
they together <3162 yachad > [shall be] against <5921 <al >
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >. For all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th >
his anger <0639 >aph > is not turned <7725 shuwb > away, but his
hand <3027 yad > [is] stretched <5186 natah > out still <5750

Isaiah 10
1. Woe <1945 howy > unto them that decree <2710 chaqaq >
unrighteous <0205 >aven > decrees <2711 cheqeq >, and that write
<3789 kathab > grievousness <5999 <amal > [which] they have
prescribed <3789 kathab >;
2 To turn <5186 natah > aside <5186 natah > the needy <1800 dal

<1497 gazal > the right <4941 mishpat > from the poor <6041

may be their prey <7998 shalal >, and [that] they may rob <0962

3 And what <4100 mah > will ye do <6213 <asah > in the day

<5800 <azab > your glory <3519 kabowd >?
4 Without <1115 biltiy > me they shall bow <3766 kara< > down

anger <0639 >aph > is not turned <7725 shuwb > away, but his

5. O Assyrian <0804 >Ashshuwr >, the rod <7626 shebet > of mine
anger <0639 >aph >, and the staff <4294 matteh > in their hand
<3027 yad > is mine indignation <2195 za<am >.
6 I will send <7971 shalach > him against an hypocritical <2611
chaneph > nation <1471 gowy >, and against <5921 <al > the
people <5971 <am > of my wrath <5678 <ebrah > will I give him a
charge <6680 tsavah >, to take <7997 shalal > the spoil <7998

tread <4823 mirmac > them down like the mire <2563 chomer > of

7 Howbeit he meaneth <1819 damah > not so <3651 ken >, neither
<3808 lo> > doth his heart <3824 lebab > think <2803 chashab >
so <3651 ken >; but [it is] in his heart <3824 lebab > to
destroy <8045 shamad > and cut <3772 karath > off nations <1471

8 For he saith <0559 >amar >, [Are] not my princes <8269 sar >
altogether <3162 yachad > kings <4428 melek >?
9 [Is] not Calno <3641 Kalneh > as Carchemish <3751 Kark@miysh

not Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > as Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >?
10 As my hand <3027 yad > hath found <4672 matsa> > the
kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the idols <0457 >eliyl >, and whose
graven <6456 p@ciyl > images did excel them of Jerusalem <3389

11 Shall I not, as I have done <6466 pa<al > unto Samaria <8111
Shom@rown > and her idols <0457 >eliyl >, so <3651 ken > do
<6213 <asah > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and her idols
<6091 <atsab >?
12 Wherefore it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when
<3588 kiy > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > hath performed <1214 batsa<

<6726 Tsiyown > and on Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, I will
punish <6485 paqad > the fruit <6529 p@riy > of the stout <1433

<0804 >Ashshuwr >, and the glory <8597 tiph>arah > of his high
<7312 ruwm > looks <5869 <ayin >.
13 For he saith <0559 >amar >, By the strength <3581 koach > of
my hand <3027 yad > I have done <6466 pa<al > [it], and by my
wisdom <2451 chokmah >; for I am prudent <0995 biyn >: and I
have removed <5493 cuwr > the bounds <1367 g@buwlah > of the
people <5971 <am >, and have robbed <8154 shacah > their
treasures <6259 <athuwd >, and I have put <3381 yarad > down
<3381 yarad > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > like a valiant
<3524 kabbiyr > [man]:
14 And my hand <3027 yad > hath found <4672 matsa> > as a nest
<7064 qen > the riches <2428 chayil > of the people <5971 <am >:
and as one gathereth <0622 >acaph > eggs <1000 beytsah > [that
are] left <5800 <azab >, have I gathered <0622 >acaph > all
<3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets >; and there was none <3808

opened <6473 pa<ar > the mouth <6310 peh >, or peeped <6850
tsaphaph >.
15 Shall the axe <1631 garzen > boast <6286 pa>ar > itself
against <5921 <al > him that heweth <2672 chatsab > therewith?
[or] shall the saw <4883 massowr > magnify <1431 gadal > itself
against <5921 <al > him that shaketh <5130 nuwph > it? as if the
rod <7626 shebet > should shake <5130 nuwph > [itself] against
them that lift <7311 ruwm > it up, [or] as if the staff <4294
matteh > should lift <7311 ruwm > up [itself, as if it were] no

16 Therefore <3651 ken > shall the Lord <0113 >adown >, the
Lord <0136 >Adonay > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, send <7971 shalach

and under <8478 tachath > his glory <3519 kabowd > he shall
kindle <3344 yaqad > a burning <3350 y@qowd > like the burning
<3345 y@qad > of a fire <0784 >esh >.
17 And the light <0216 >owr > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall
be for a fire <0784 >esh >, and his Holy <6918 qadowsh > One for
a flame <3852 lehabah >: and it shall burn <1197 ba<ar > and
devour <0398 >akal > his thorns <7898 shayith > and his briers
<8068 shamiyr > in one <0259 >echad > day <3117 yowm >;
18 And shall consume <3615 kalah > the glory <3519 kabowd > of
his forest <3293 ya<ar >, and of his fruitful <3759 karmel >
field, both soul <5315 nephesh > and body <1320 basar >: and
they shall be as when a standardbearer <5264 nacac > fainteth

19 And the rest <7605 sh@>ar > of the trees <6086 <ets > of his
forest <3293 ya<ar > shall be few <4557 micpar >, that a child
<5288 na<ar > may write <3789 kathab > them.
20. And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117
yowm >, [that] the remnant <7605 sh@>ar > of Israel <3478

One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, in truth <0571 >emeth >.
21 The remnant <7605 sh@>ar > shall return <7725 shuwb >,
[even] the remnant <7605 sh@>ar > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, unto
the mighty <1368 gibbowr > God <0410 >el >.
22 For though <0518 >im > thy people <5971 <am > Israel <3478

[yet] a remnant <7605 sh@>ar > of them shall return <7725 shuwb

23 For the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > shall make <6213 <asah > a consumption <3617
kalah >, even determined <2782 charats >, in the midst <7130

24. Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635
tsaba> >, O my people <5971 <am > that dwellest <3427 yashab >

25 For yet <5750 <owd > a very <4213 miz<ar > little <4592

<8399 tabliyth >.
26 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > shall
stir <5782 <uwr > up a scourge <7752 showt > for him according
to the slaughter <4347 makkah > of Midian <4080 Midyan > at the
rock <6697 tsuwr > of Oreb <6157 <arob >: and [as] his rod <4294

27 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117

28 He is come <0935 bow> > to Aiath <5857 <Ay >, he is passed

29 They are gone <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the passage

30 Lift <6670 tsahal > up thy voice <6963 qowl >, O daughter

Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth >.
31 Madmenah <4088 Madmenah > is removed <5074 nadad >; the
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Gebim <1374 Gebiym > gather <5756

32 As yet <5750 <owd > shall he remain <5975 <amad > at Nob
<5011 Nob > that day <3117 yowm >: he shall shake <5130 nuwph >
his hand <3027 yad > [against] the mount <2022 har > of the

33 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the Lord <0113 >adown >, the LORD

13 The envy <7068 qin>ah > also of Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim >

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall be cut <3772 karath > off: Ephraim

14 But they shall fly <5774 <uwph > upon the shoulders <3802

15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall utterly destroy <2763

dryshod <5275 na<al >.
16 And there shall be an highway <4546 m@cillah > for the

Isaiah 12
1. And in that day <3117 yowm > thou shalt say <0559 >amar >, O

2 Behold <2009 hinneh >, God <0410 >el > [is] my salvation

Isaiah 13
1. The burden <4853 massa> > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, which

Amoz <0531 >Amowts > did see <2372 chazah >.
2 Lift <5375 nasa> > ye up a banner <5251 nec > upon the high

3 I have commanded <6680 tsavah > my sanctified <6942 qadash >

4 The noise <6963 qowl > of a multitude <1995 hamown > in the

6. Howl <3213 yalal > ye; for the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD

9 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068

10 For the stars <3556 kowkab > of heaven <8064 shamayim > and
the constellations <3685 K@ciyl > thereof shall not give their

and the moon <3394 yareach > shall not cause her light <0216

11 And I will punish <6485 paqad > the world <8398 tebel > for
[their] evil <7451 ra< >, and the wicked <7563 rasha< > for
their iniquity <5771 <avon >; and I will cause the arrogancy

and will lay low <8213 shaphel > the haughtiness <1346 ga<avah

12 I will make a man <0582 >enowsh > more precious <3365 yaqar

golden <3800 kethem > wedge of Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr >.
13 Therefore I will shake <7264 ragaz > the heavens <8064

14 And it shall be as the chased <5080 nadach > roe <6643

15 Every <3605 kol > one that is found <4672 matsa> > shall be

16 Their children <5768 <owlel > also shall be dashed <7376

<0802 >ishshah > ravished <7693 shagal >.
17 Behold <2005 hen >, I will stir <5782 <uwr > up the Medes
<4074 Maday > against <5921 <al > them, which <0834 >aher >

18 [Their] bows <7198 qesheth > also shall dash <7376 ratash >
the young <5288 na<ar > men to pieces; and they shall have no

19. And Babylon <0894 Babel >, the glory <6643 ts@biy > of
kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >, the beauty <8597 tiph>arah > of the
Chaldees <3778 Kasdiy >' excellency <1347 ga>own >, shall be as

21 But wild <6728 tsiyiy > beasts <6728 tsiyiy > of the desert

6 He who smote <5221 nakah > the people <5971 <am > in wrath

19 But thou art cast <7993 shalak > out of thy grave <6913

to the stones <68> of the pit <0953 bowr >; as a carcase <6297

20 Thou shalt not be joined <3161 yachad > with them in burial

thy people <5971 <am >: the seed <2233 zera< > of evildoers

21 Prepare <3559 kuwn > slaughter <4293 matbeach > for his

the face <6440 paniym > of the world <8398 tebel > with cities

22 For I will rise <6965 quwm > up against <5921 <al > them,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635

the name <8034 shem >, and remnant <7605 sh@>ar >, and son <5209

23 I will also make <7760 suwm > it a possession <4180 mowrash

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.
24. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sworn
<7650 shaba< >, saying <0559 >amar >, Surely as I have thought
<1819 damah >, so shall it come <1961 hayah > to pass; and as I
have purposed <3289 ya<ats >, [so <3651 ken >] shall it stand
<6965 quwm >:
25 That I will break <7665 shabar > the Assyrian <0804

from off <5921 <al > their shoulders <7926 sh@kem >.
26 This <2063 zo>th > [is] the purpose <6098 <etsah > that is
purposed <3289 ya<ats > upon the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776

is stretched <5186 natah > out upon all <3605 kol > the nations

27 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath
purposed <3289 ya<ats >, and who <4310 miy > shall disannul

28 In the year <8141 shaneh > that king <4428 melek > Ahaz

29 Rejoice <8055 samach > not thou, whole <3605 kol > Palestina

him that smote <5221 nakah > thee is broken <7665 shabar >: for
out of the serpent's <5175 nachash > root <8328 sheresh > shall

30 And the firstborn <1060 b@kowr > of the poor <1800 dal >

31 Howl <3213 yalal >, O gate <8179 sha<ar >; cry <2199 za<aq >,
O city <5892 <iyr >; thou, whole <3605 kol > Palestina <6429

32 What <4100 mah > shall [one] then answer <6030 <anah > the
messengers <4397 mal>ak > of the nation <1471 gowy >? That the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath founded <3245 yacad > Zion <6726
Tsiyown >, and the poor <6041 <aniy > of his people <5971 <am >
shall trust <2620 chacah > in it.
Isaiah 15
1. The burden <4853 massa> > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >. Because
<3588 kiy > in the night <3915 layil > Ar <6144 <Ar > of Moab
<4124 Mow>ab > is laid waste <7703 shadad >, [and] brought <1820

night <3915 layil > Kir <7024 Qiyr > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is
laid waste <7703 shadad >, [and] brought <1820 damah > to

2 He is gone <5927 <alah > up to Bajith <1006 Bayith >, and to
Dibon <1769 Diybown >, the high <1116 bamah > places, to weep
<1065 B@kiy >: Moab <4124 Mow>ab > shall howl <3213 yalal > over

[shall be] baldness <7144 qorchah >, [and] every <3605 kol >

3 In their streets <2351 chuwts > they shall gird <2296 chagar

every <3605 kol > one shall howl <3213 yalal >, weeping <1065
B@kiy > abundantly <3381 yarad >.
4 And Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown > shall cry <2199 za<aq >, and
Elealeh <0500 >El<ale> >: their voice <6963 qowl > shall be
heard <8085 shama< > [even] unto Jahaz <3096 Yahats >: therefore
the armed <2502 chalats > soldiers <2502 chalats > of Moab <4124

shall be grievous <3415 yara< > unto him.
5 My heart <3820 leb > shall cry <2199 za<aq > out for Moab
<4124 Mow>ab >; his fugitives <1280 b@riyach > [shall flee] unto
Zoar <6820 Tso<ar >, an heifer <5697 <eglah > of three <7992

<4608 ma<aleh > up of Luhith <3872 Luwchiyth > with weeping

<1870 derek > of Horonaim <2773 Choronayim > they shall raise
<5782 <uwr > up a cry <2201 za<aq > of destruction <7667 sheber

6. For the waters <4325 mayim > of Nimrim <5249 Nimriym > shall
be desolate <4923 m@shammah >: for the hay <2682 chatsiyr > is
withered <3001 yabesh > away, the grass <1877 deshe> > faileth
<3615 kalah >, there is no <3808 lo> > green <3418 yereq > thing.
7 Therefore the abundance <3502 yithrah > they have gotten

shall they carry <5375 nasa> > away to the brook <5158 nachal >
of the willows <6155 <arab >.
8 For the cry <2201 za<aq > is gone <5362 naqaph > round <5362

the howling <3213 yalal > thereof unto Eglaim <97>, and the

9 For the waters <4325 mayim > of Dimon <1775 Diymown > shall

lions <0738 >ariy > upon him that escapeth <6413 p@leytah > of

Isaiah 16
1. Send <7971 shalach > ye the lamb <3733 kar > to the ruler

2 For it shall be, [that], as a wandering <5074 nadad > bird

[so] the daughters <1121 ben > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > shall be

3 Take <0935 bow> > counsel <6098 <etsah >, execute <6213 <asah

wandereth <5074 nadad >.
4 Let mine outcasts <5080 nadach > dwell <1481 guwr > with thee,
Moab <4124 Mow>ab >; be thou a covert <5643 cether > to them
from the face <6440 paniym > of the spoiler <7703 shadad >: for
the extortioner <4160 muwts > is at an end <0657 >ephec >, the
spoiler <7701 shod > ceaseth <3615 kalah >, the oppressors <7429

5 And in mercy <2617 checed > shall the throne <3678 kicce> >

6. We have heard <8085 shama< > of the pride <1347 ga>own > of

<1347 ga>own >, and his wrath <5678 <ebrah >: [but] his lies
<0907 bad > [shall] not [be] so <3651 ken >.
7 Therefore <3651 ken > shall Moab <4124 Mow>ab > howl <3213

howl <3213 yalal >: for the foundations <0808 >ashiysh > of
Kirhareseth <7025 Qiyr Cheres > shall ye mourn <1897 hagah >;
surely <0389 >ak > [they are] stricken <5218 nake> >.
8 For the fields <7709 sh@demah > of Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >
languish <0535 >amal >, [and] the vine <1612 gephen > of Sibmah
<7643 S@bam >: the lords <1167 ba<al > of the heathen <1471 gowy

plants <8291 saruwq > thereof, they are come <5060 naga< >
[even] unto Jazer <3270 Ya<azeyr >, they wandered <8582 ta<ah >
[through] the wilderness <4057 midbar >: her branches <7976
shilluchah > are stretched <5203 natash > out, they are gone
<5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the sea <3220 yam >.
9 Therefore I will bewail <1058 bakah > with the weeping <1065
B@kiy > of Jazer <3270 Ya<azeyr > the vine <1612 gephen > of
Sibmah <7643 S@bam >: I will water <7301 ravah > thee with my
tears <1832 dim<ah >, O Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >, and Elealeh
<0500 >El<ale> >: for the shouting <1959 heydad > for thy summer
<7019 qayits > fruits and for thy harvest <7105 qatsiyr > is
fallen <5307 naphal >.
10 And gladness <8057 simchah > is taken <0622 >acaph > away,
and joy <1524 giyl > out of the plentiful <3759 karmel > field;
and in the vineyards <3754 kerem > there shall be no <3808 lo> >

<1959 heydad > to cease <7673 shabath >.
11 Wherefore my bowels <4578 me<ah > shall sound <1993 hamah >
like an harp <3658 kinnowr > for Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, and mine
inward <7130 qereb > parts for Kirharesh <7025 Qiyr Cheres >.
12 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > it

13 This <2008 hennah > [is] the word <1697 dabar > that the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > concerning <0413

14 But now <6258 <attah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken
<1696 dabar >, saying <0559 >amar >, Within three <7969 shalowsh

Isaiah 17
1. The burden <4853 massa> > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >.
Behold <2009 hinneh >, Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > is taken <5493

it shall be a ruinous <4654 mappalah > heap <4596 m@<iy >.
2 The cities <5892 <iyr > of Aroer <6177 <Arow<er > [are]
forsaken <5800 <azab >: they shall be for flocks <5739 <eder >,
which shall lie <7257 rabats > down <7257 rabats >, and none

3 The fortress <4013 mibtsar > also shall cease <7673 shabath >

4 And in that day <3117 yowm > it shall come <1961 hayah > to

shall be made thin <1809 dalal >, and the fatness <4924 mashman

5 And it shall be as when the harvestman <7105 qatsiyr >

6. Yet gleaning <5955 <olelah > grapes shall be left <7604

God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
7 At that day <3117 yowm > shall a man <0120 >adam > look <8159

8 And he shall not look <8159 sha<ah > to the altars <4196

9. In that day <3117 yowm > shall his strong <4581 ma<owz >
cities <5892 <iyr > be as a forsaken <5800 <azab > bough <2793

10 Because <3588 kiy > thou hast forgotten <7911 shakach > the

not been mindful <2142 zakar > of the rock <6697 tsuwr > of thy

desperate <0605 >anash > sorrow <3511 k@>eb >.
12. Woe <1945 howy > to the multitude <1995 hamown > of many

13 The nations <3816 l@om > shall rush <7582 sha>ah > like the

but [God] shall rebuke <1605 ga<ar > them, and they shall flee

3 All <3605 kol > ye inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the world

an ensign <5251 nec > on the mountains <2022 har >; and when he

4 For so <3541 koh > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar

consider <5027 nabat > in my dwelling <4349 makown > place like

[and] like a cloud <5645 <ab > of dew <2919 tal > in the heat

5 For afore <6440 paniym > the harvest <7105 qatsiyr >, when

the sour <1155 bocer > grape <1155 bocer > is ripening <1580

Isaiah 19
1. The burden <4853 massa> > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >. Behold
<2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > rideth <7392 rakab >
upon a swift <7031 qal > cloud <5645 <ab >, and shall come <0935

presence <6440 paniym >, and the heart <3824 lebab > of Egypt
<4714 Mitsrayim > shall melt <4549 macac > in the midst <7130
qereb > of it.
2 And I will set <5526 cakak > the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim >
against the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim >: and they shall fight
<3898 lacham > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > against his
brother <0251 >ach >, and every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >
against his neighbour <7453 rea< >; city <5892 <iyr > against
city <5892 <iyr >, [and] kingdom <4467 mamlakah > against
kingdom <4467 mamlakah >.
3 And the spirit <7307 ruwach > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >
shall fail <1238 baqaq > in the midst <7130 qereb > thereof; and
I will destroy <1104 bala< > the counsel <6098 <etsah > thereof:
and they shall seek <1875 darash > to the idols <0457 >eliyl >,
and to the charmers <0328 >at >, and to them that have familiar
spirits <0178 >owb >, and to the wizards <3049 yidd@<oniy >.
4 And the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > will I give <5534 caker >
over <5534 caker > into the hand <3027 yad > of a cruel <7186
qasheh > lord <0113 >adown >; and a fierce <5794 <az > king

n@>um > the Lord <0113 >adown >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> >.
5 And the waters <4325 mayim > shall fail <5405 nashath > from
the sea <3220 yam >, and the river <5104 nahar > shall be wasted
<2717 charab > and dried <3001 yabesh > up.
6 And they shall turn <2186 zanach > the rivers <5104 nahar >
far away; [and] the brooks <2975 y@<or > of defence <4692
matsowr > shall be emptied <1809 dalal > and dried <2717 charab

wither <7060 qamal >.
7 The paper <6169 <arah > reeds by the brooks <2975 y@<or >, by
the mouth <6310 peh > of the brooks <2975 y@<or >, and every
<3605 kol > thing sown <4218 mizra< > by the brooks <2975 y@<or

and be no <0369 >ayin > [more].
8 The fishers <1771 dayag > also shall mourn <0578 >anah >, and
all <3605 kol > they that cast <7993 shalak > angle <2443
chakkah > into the brooks <2975 y@<or > shall lament <56>, and
they that spread <6566 paras > nets <4364 makmar > upon the
waters <4325 mayim > shall languish <0535 >amal >.
9 Moreover they that work <5647 <abad > in fine <8305 s@riyqah

networks <2355 chowr >, shall be confounded <0954 buwsh >.
10 And they shall be broken <1792 daka> > in the purposes <8356
shathah > thereof, all <3605 kol > that make <6213 <asah >
sluices <7938 seker > [and] ponds <99> for fish <5315 nephesh >.
11 Surely <0389 >ak > the princes <8269 sar > of Zoan <6814
Tso<an > [are] fools <0191 >eviyl >, the counsel <6098 <etsah >
of the wise <2450 chakam > counsellors <3289 ya<ats > of Pharaoh
<6547 Par<oh > is become <1197 ba<ar > brutish <1197 ba<ar >:
how <0349 >eyk > say <0559 >amar > ye unto Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh

12 Where <0335 >ay > [are] they? where <0645 >ephow > [are] thy

13 The princes <8269 sar > of Zoan <6814 Tso<an > are become
<2973 ya>al > fools <2973 ya>al >, the princes <8269 sar > of
Noph <5297 Noph > are deceived <5377 nasha> >; they have also
seduced <8582 ta<ah > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, [even they that
are] the stay <6438 pinnah > of the tribes <7626 shebet >
thereof.
14 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath mingled <4537 macak > a
perverse <5773 <av<eh > spirit <7307 ruwach > in the midst <7130
qereb > thereof: and they have caused Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to
err <8582 ta<ah > in every <3605 kol > work <4639 ma<aseh >
thereof, as a drunken <7910 shikkowr > [man] staggereth <8582

15 Neither <3808 lo> > shall there be [any] work <4639 ma<aseh

tail <2180 zanab >, branch <3712 kippah > or rush <0100 >agmown

16 In that day <3117 yowm > shall Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > be
like unto women <0802 >ishshah >: and it shall be afraid <2729
charad > and fear <6342 pachad > because <6440 paniym > of the
shaking <8573 t@nuwphah > of the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, which <0834 >aher > he
shaketh <5130 nuwph > over <5921 <al > it.
17 And the land <0127 >adamah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall
be a terror <2283 chagra> > unto Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, every
<3605 kol > one that maketh mention <2142 zakar > thereof shall
be afraid <6342 pachad > in himself, because <6440 paniym > of
the counsel <6098 <etsah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> >, which <0834 >aher > he hath determined <3289
ya<ats > against <5921 <al > it.
18. In that day <3117 yowm > shall five <2568 chamesh > cities
<5892 <iyr > in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim

called <0559 >amar >, The city <5892 <iyr > of destruction <2041

19 In that day <3117 yowm > shall there be an altar <4196
mizbeach > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in the midst <8432 tavek

pillar <4676 matstsebah > at <0681 >etsel > the border <1366
g@buwl > thereof to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
20 And it shall be for a sign <0226 >owth > and for a witness
<5707 <ed > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba>

they shall cry <6817 tsa<aq > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
because <6440 paniym > of the oppressors <3905 lachats >, and he
shall send <7971 shalach > them a saviour <3467 yasha< >, and a
great <7227 rab > one, and he shall deliver <5337 natsal > them.
21 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be known <3045 yada< > to
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim >
shall know <3045 yada< > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in that day
<3117 yowm >, and shall do <5647 <abad > sacrifice <2077 zebach

<7999 shalam > [it].
22 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall smite <5062 nagaph >
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >: he shall smite <5062 nagaph > and heal
<7495 rapha> > [it]: and they shall return <7725 shuwb > [even]
to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and he shall be intreated <6279

23 In that day <3117 yowm > shall there be a highway <4546
m@cillah > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to Assyria <0804

Mitsrayim > into Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and the Egyptians
<4714 Mitsrayim > shall serve <5647 <abad > with the Assyrians
<0804 >Ashshuwr >.
24 In that day <3117 yowm > shall Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be
the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > with Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > and
with Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, [even] a blessing <1293 B@rakah

25 Whom <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635

Blessed <1288 barak > [be] Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > my people

ma<aseh > of my hands <3027 yad >, and Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
mine inheritance <5159 nachalah >.
Isaiah 20
1. In the year <8141 shaneh > that Tartan <8661 Tartan > came
<0935 bow> > unto Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd >, (when Sargon <5623
Cargown > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >
sent <7971 shalach > him,) and fought <3898 lacham > against
Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd >, and took <3920 lakad > it;
2 At the same <1931 huw> > time <6256 <eth > spake <1696 dabar

And he did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >, walking <1980 halak >
naked <6174 <arowm > and barefoot <3182 yacheph >.
3 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar >, Like as my

4 So <3651 ken > shall the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804

Mitsrayim > prisoners <7628 sh@biy >, and the Ethiopians <3569

even with [their] buttocks <8357 shethah > uncovered <2834

5 And they shall be afraid <2865 chathath > and ashamed <0954

6 And the inhabitant <3427 yashab > of this <2088 zeh > isle

Behold <2009 hinneh >, such <3541 koh > [is] our expectation

melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >: and how <0349 >eyk > shall
we escape <4422 malat >?
Isaiah 21
1. The burden <4853 massa> > of the desert <4057 midbar > of
the sea <3220 yam >. As whirlwinds <5492 cuwphah > in the south
<5045 negeb > pass <2498 chalaph > through; [so] it cometh <0935

2 A grievous <7186 qasheh > vision <2380 chazuwth > is declared
<5046 nagad > unto me; the treacherous <0898 bagad > dealer
dealeth treacherously <0898 bagad >, and the spoiler <7703

all <3605 kol > the sighing <0585 >anachah > thereof have I made

3 Therefore are my loins <4975 mothen > filled <4390 male> >

dismayed <0926 bahal > at the seeing <7200 ra>ah > [of it].
4 My heart <3824 lebab > panted <8582 ta<ah >, fearfulness
<6427 pallatsuwth > affrighted <1204 ba<ath > me: the night

5 Prepare <6186 <arak > the table <7979 shulchan >, watch <6822

6 For thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > said <0559

7 And he saw <7200 ra>ah > a chariot <7393 rekeb > [with] a

8 And he cried <7121 qara> >, A lion <0738 >ariy >: My lord

9 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, here <2088 zeh > cometh <0935

all <3605 kol > the graven <6456 p@ciyl > images of her gods

declared <5046 nagad > unto you.
11. The burden <4853 massa> > of Dumah <1746 Duwmah >. He

Watchman <8104 shamar >, what <4100 mah > of the night <3915

12 The watchman <8104 shamar > said <0559 >amar >, The morning

13. The burden <4853 massa> > upon Arabia <6152 < Arab >. In

14 The inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > of
Tema <8485 Teyma> > brought <0857 >athah > water <4325 mayim >
to him that was thirsty <6771 tsame> >, they prevented <6923

15 For they fled <5074 nadad > from the swords <2719 chereb >,
from the drawn <5203 natash > sword <2719 chereb >, and from the
bent <1869 darak > bow <7198 qesheth >, and from the
grievousness <3514 kobed > of war <4421 milchamah >.
16 For thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > said
<0559 >amar > unto me, Within <5750 <owd > a year <8141 shaneh >,
according to the years <8141 shaneh > of an hireling <7916

Isaiah 22
1. The burden <4853 massa> > of the valley <1516 gay> > of

<0645 >ephow >, that thou art wholly <3605 kol > gone <5927
<alah > up to the housetops <1406 gag >?
2 Thou that art full <4392 male> > of stirs <8663 t@shu>ah >, a
tumultuous <1993 hamah > city <5892 <iyr >, a joyous <5947
<alliyz > city <7151 qiryah >: thy slain <2491 chalal > [men
are] not slain <2491 chalal > with the sword <2719 chereb >, nor
<3808 lo> > dead <4191 muwth > in battle <4421 milchamah >.
3 All <3605 kol > thy rulers <7101 qatsiyn > are fled <5074
nadad > together <3162 yachad >, they are bound <0631 >acar > by
the archers <7198 qesheth >: all <3605 kol > that are found

4 Therefore said <0559 >amar > I, Look <8159 sha<ah > away from
me; I will weep <1065 B@kiy > bitterly <4843 marar >, labour
<0213 >uwts > not to comfort <5162 nacham > me, because <5921
<al > of the spoiling <7701 shod > of the daughter <1323 bath >
of my people <5971 <am >.
5 For [it is] a day <3117 yowm > of trouble <4103 m@huwmah >,
and of treading <4001 m@buwcah > down, and of perplexity <3998
m@buwkah > by the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> > in the valley <1516 gay> > of vision <2384
chizzayown >, breaking <6979 quwr > down the walls <7023 qiyr >,
and of crying <7771 showa< > to the mountains <2022 har >.
6 And Elam <5867 <Eylam > bare <5375 nasa> > the quiver <0827

horsemen <6571 parash >, and Kir <7024 Qiyr > uncovered <6168
<arah > the shield <4043 magen >.
7 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] thy choicest
<4055 mad > valleys <6010 <emeq > shall be full <4390 male> > of
chariots <7393 rekeb >, and the horsemen <6571 parash > shall
set <7896 shiyth > themselves in array <7896 shiyth > at the
gate <8179 sha<ar >.
8. And he discovered <1540 galah > the covering <4539 macak >
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and thou didst look <5027 nabat > in
that day <3117 yowm > to the armour <5402 nesheq > of the house
<1004 bayith > of the forest <3293 ya<ar >.
9 Ye have seen <7200 ra>ah > also the breaches <1233 b@qiya< >
of the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >, that they are
many <7231 rabab >: and ye gathered <6908 qabats > together the
waters <4325 mayim > of the lower <8481 tachtown > pool <1295
b@rekah >.
10 And ye have numbered <5608 caphar > the houses <1004 bayith

<1219 batsar > the wall <2346 chowmah >.
11 Ye made <6213 <asah > also a ditch <4724 miqvah > between
<0996 beyn > the two walls <2346 chowmah > for the water <4325
mayim > of the old <3465 yashan > pool <1295 b@rekah >: but ye
have not looked <5027 nabat > unto the maker <6213 <asah >
thereof, neither <3808 lo> > had respect <7200 ra>ah > unto him
that fashioned <3335 yatsar > it long <7350 rachowq > ago <7350
rachowq >.
12 And in that day <3117 yowm > did the Lord <0136 >Adonay >
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > call <7121 qara> >
to weeping <1065 B@kiy >, and to mourning <4553 micepd >, and to
baldness <7144 qorchah >, and to girding <2296 chagar > with
sackcloth <8242 saq >:
13 And behold <2009 hinneh > joy <8342 sasown > and gladness
<8057 simchah >, slaying <2026 harag > oxen <1241 baqar >, and
killing <7819 shachat > sheep <6629 tso>n >, eating <0398 >akal

yayin >: let us eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah >; for
to morrow <4279 machar > we shall die <4191 muwth >.
14 And it was revealed <1540 galah > in mine ears <0241 >ozen >
by the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Surely
<0518 >im > this <2088 zeh > iniquity <5771 <avon > shall not be
purged <3722 kaphar > from you till <5704 <ad > ye die <4191

Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.
15. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay

[is] over <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith >, [and say <0559

16 What <4100 mah > hast thou here <6311 poh >? and whom <4310
miy > hast thou here <6311 poh >, that thou hast hewed <2672

[as] he that heweth <2672 chatsab > him out a sepulchre <6913

<4908 mishkan > for himself in a rock <5553 cela< >?
17 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will carry
<2904 tuwl > thee away with a mighty <1397 geber > captivity
<2925 taltelah >, and will surely cover <5844 <atah > thee.
18 He will surely violently turn <6801 tsanaph > and toss <6802
ts@nephah > thee [like] a ball <1754 duwr > into <0413 >el > a
large country <0776 >erets >: there <8033 sham > shalt thou die
<4191 muwth >, and there <8033 sham > the chariots <4818
merkabah > of thy glory <3519 kabowd > [shall be] the shame
<7036 qalown > of thy lord's <0113 >adown > house <1004 bayith >.
19 And I will drive <1920 Hadaph > thee from thy station <4673
matstsab >, and from thy state <4612 ma<amad > shall he pull
<2040 harac > thee down.
20 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117
yowm >, that I will call <7121 qara> > my servant <5650 <ebed >
Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518
Chilqiyah >:
21 And I will clothe <3847 labash > him with thy robe <3301
Yiphd@yah >, and strengthen <2388 chazaq > him with thy girdle
<73>, and I will commit <5414 nathan > thy government <4475
memshalah > into his hand <3027 yad >: and he shall be a father
<1> to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, and to the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >.
22 And the key <4668 maphteach > of the house <1004 bayith > of
David <1732 David > will I lay <5414 nathan > upon his shoulder
<7926 sh@kem >; so he shall open <6605 pathach >, and none <0369

23 And I will fasten <8628 taqa< > him [as] a nail <3489 yathed

for a glorious <3519 kabowd > throne <3678 kicce> > to his
father's <1> house <1004 bayith >.
24 And they shall hang <8518 talah > upon him all <3605 kol >
the glory <3519 kabowd > of his father's <1> house <1004 bayith

quantity, from the vessels <3627 k@liy > of cups <0101 >aggan >,
even to all <3605 kol > the vessels <3627 k@liy > of flagons
<5035 nebel >.
25 In that day <3117 yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, shall the nail <3489 yathed >
that is fastened <8628 taqa< > in the sure <0539 >aman > place

off: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > [it].
Isaiah 23
1. The burden <4853 massa> > of Tyre <6865 Tsor >. Howl <3213
yalal >, ye ships <0591 >oniyah > of Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh >;

2 Be still <1826 damam >, ye inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the

Zidon <6721 Tsiydown >, that pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar

3 And by great <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > the seed <2233

of the river <2975 y@<or >, [is] her revenue <8393 t@buw>ah >;

4 Be thou ashamed <0954 buwsh >, O Zidon <6721 Tsiydown >: for
the sea <3220 yam > hath spoken <0559 >amar >, [even] the
strength <4581 ma<owz > of the sea <3220 yam >, saying <0559

5 As at the report <8088 shema< > concerning Egypt <4714

6 Pass <5674 <abar > ye over <5674 <abar > to Tarshish <8659

8 Who <4310 miy > hath taken this <2063 zo>th > counsel <3289

9 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath
purposed <3289 ya<ats > it, to stain <2490 chalal > the pride

bring <7034 qalah > into contempt <7043 qalal > all <3605 kol >
the honourable <3513 kabad > of the earth <0776 >erets >.
10 Pass <5674 <abar > through thy land <0776 >erets > as a

11 He stretched <5186 natah > out his hand <3027 yad > over
<5921 <al > the sea <3220 yam >, he shook <7264 ragaz > the
kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >: the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath given a

12 And he said <0559 >amar >, Thou shalt no <3808 lo> > more

13 Behold <2005 hen > the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans

14 Howl <3213 yalal >, ye ships <0591 >oniyah > of Tarshish
<8659 Tarshiysh >: for your strength <4581 ma<owz > is laid

15. And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117

16 Take <3947 laqach > an harp <3658 kinnowr >, go <5437 cabab

17 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass after the end <7093

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will visit <6485 paqad > Tyre <6865

Isaiah 24
1. Behold <2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > maketh the
earth <0776 >erets > empty <1238 baqaq >, and maketh it waste
<1110 balaq >, and turneth <5753 <avah > it upside down, and
scattereth <6327 puwts > abroad <6327 puwts > the inhabitants

2 And it shall be, as with the people <5971 <am >, so with the
priest <3548 kohen >; as with the servant <5650 <ebed >, so with

3 The land <0776 >erets > shall be utterly emptied <1238 baqaq

4 The earth <0776 >erets > mourneth <56> [and] fadeth <5034

[and] fadeth <5034 nabel > away, the haughty <4791 marowm >
people <5971 <am > of the earth <0776 >erets > do languish <0535

5 The earth <0776 >erets > also is defiled <2610 chaneph >
under <8478 tachath > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof;
because <3588 kiy > they have transgressed <5674 <abar > the

6 Therefore hath the curse <0423 >alah > devoured <0398 >akal >
the earth <0776 >erets >, and they that dwell <3427 yashab >
therein are desolate <0816 >asham >: therefore the inhabitants

7 The new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine <8492 tiyrowsh > mourneth <56>,
the vine <1612 gephen > languisheth <0535 >amal >, all <3605 kol

8 The mirth <4885 masows > of tabrets <8596 toph > ceaseth
<7673 shabath >, the noise <7588 sha>own > of them that rejoice
<5947 <alliyz > endeth <2308 chadal >, the joy <4885 masows > of
the harp <3658 kinnowr > ceaseth <7673 shabath >.
9 They shall not drink <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin > with
a song <7892 shiyr >; strong drink <7941 shekar > shall be
bitter <4843 marar > to them that drink <8354 shathah > it.
10 The city <7151 qiryah > of confusion <8414 tohuw > is broken

shut <5462 cagar > up, that no man <0935 bow> > may come <0935

11 [There is] a crying <6682 ts@vachah > for wine <3196 yayin >

12 In the city <5892 <iyr > is left <7604 sha>ar > desolation

13. When <3588 kiy > thus <3541 koh > it shall be in the midst

14 They shall lift <5375 nasa> > up their voice <6963 qowl >,

15 Wherefore glorify <3513 kabad > ye the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

16. From the uttermost <3671 kanaph > part of the earth <0776

[even] glory <6643 ts@biy > to the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >.

17 Fear <6343 pachad >, and the pit <6354 pachath >, and the

18 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] he who

<0699 >arubbah > from on high <4791 marowm > are open <6605
pathach >, and the foundations <4146 mowcadah > of the earth
<0776 >erets > do shake <7493 ra<ash >.
19 The earth <0776 >erets > is utterly broken <7489 ra<a< >
down, the earth <0776 >erets > is clean <6565 parar > dissolved
<6565 parar >, the earth <0776 >erets > is moved <4132 mowt >
exceedingly.
20 The earth <0776 >erets > shall reel <5128 nuwa< > to and fro
like a drunkard <7910 shikkowr >, and shall be removed <5110

it shall fall <5307 naphal >, and not rise <6965 quwm > again

21 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117

22 And they shall be gathered <0622 >acaph > together, [as]
prisoners <0616 >acciyr > are gathered <0626 >acephah > in the

23 Then the moon <3842 l@banah > shall be confounded <2659

Isaiah 25
1. O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou [art] my God <0430 >elohiym >;
I will exalt <7311 ruwm > thee, I will praise <3034 yadah > thy
name <8034 shem >; for thou hast done <6213 <asah > wonderful
<6382 pele> > [things; thy] counsels <6098 <etsah > of old <7350
rachowq > [are] faithfulness <0530 >emuwnah > [and] truth <0544

2 For thou hast made <7760 suwm > of a city <5892 <iyr > an
heap <1530 gal >; [of] a defenced <1219 batsar > city <7151
qiryah > a ruin <4654 mappalah >: a palace <0759 >armown > of
strangers <2114 zuwr > to be no city <5892 <iyr >; it shall
never be built <1129 banah >.
3 Therefore shall the strong <5794 <az > people <5971 <am >
glorify <3513 kabad > thee, the city <7151 qiryah > of the
terrible <6184 <ariyts > nations <1471 gowy > shall fear <3372
yare> > thee.
4 For thou hast been <1961 hayah > a strength <4581 ma<owz > to
the poor <1800 dal >, a strength <4581 ma<owz > to the needy
<34> in his distress <6862 tsar >, a refuge <4268 machaceh >
from the storm <2230 zerem >, a shadow <6738 tsel > from the
heat <2721 choreb >, when <3588 kiy > the blast <7307 ruwach >
of the terrible <6184 <ariyts > ones [is] as a storm <2230 zerem

5 Thou shalt bring <3665 kana< > down <3665 kana< > the noise
<7588 sha>own > of strangers <2114 zuwr >, as the heat <2721
choreb > in a dry <6724 tsiyown > place; [even] the heat <2721
choreb > with the shadow <6738 tsel > of a cloud <5645 <ab >:
the branch <2158 zamiyr > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts > ones
shall be brought <6030 <anah > low <6030 <anah >.
6. And in this <2088 zeh > mountain <2022 har > shall the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > make <6213 <asah > unto
all <3605 kol > people <5971 <am > a feast <4960 mishteh > of
fat <8081 shemen > things, a feast <4960 mishteh > of wines
<8105 shemer > on the lees <8105 shemer >, of fat <8081 shemen >
things full of marrow <4229 machah >, of wines <8105 shemer > on
the lees <8105 shemer > well refined <2212 zaqaq >.
7 And he will destroy <1104 bala< > in this <2088 zeh >
mountain <2022 har > the face <6440 paniym > of the covering
<3875 lowt > cast <3874 luwt > over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol >
people <5971 <am >, and the vail <4541 maccekah > that is spread
<5259 nacak > over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > nations <1471
gowy >.
8 He will swallow <1104 bala< > up death <4194 maveth > in
victory <5331 netsach >; and the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih > will wipe <4229 machah > away tears <1832 dim<ah >
from off <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > faces <6440 paniym >; and
the rebuke <2781 cherpah > of his people <5971 <am > shall he
take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > from off <5921 <al > all
<3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

9. And it shall be said <0559 >amar > in that day <3117 yowm >,
Lo <2009 hinneh >, this <2088 zeh > [is] our God <0430 >elohiym
>; we have waited <6960 qavah > for him, and he will save <3467
yasha< > us: this <2088 zeh > [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; we
have waited <6960 qavah > for him, we will be glad <1528 giyr >
and rejoice <8055 samach > in his salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah >.
10 For in this <2088 zeh > mountain <2022 har > shall the hand
<3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > rest <5117 nuwach >, and
Moab <4124 Mow>ab > shall be trodden <1758 duwsh > down under
<8478 tachath > him, even as straw <4963 mathben > is trodden
<1758 duwsh > down for the dunghill <4087 madmenah >.
11 And he shall spread <6566 paras > forth his hands <3027 yad

sachah > spreadeth <6566 paras > forth [his hands] to swim <7811

>orobah > of their hands <3027 yad >.
12 And the fortress <4013 mibtsar > of the high <4869 misgab >
fort <4869 misgab > of thy walls <2346 chowmah > shall he bring
<7817 shachach > down <7817 shachach >, lay low <8213 shaphel >,
[and] bring <5060 naga< > to the ground <0776 >erets >, [even]
to the dust <6083 <aphar >.
Isaiah 26
1. In that day <3117 yowm > shall this <2088 zeh > song <7892
shiyr > be sung <7891 shiyr > in the land <0776 >erets > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; We have a strong <5797 <oz > city <5892

shiyth > [for] walls <2346 chowmah > and bulwarks <2426 cheyl >.
2 Open <6605 pathach > ye the gates <8179 sha<ar >, that the
righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > nation <1471 gowy > which keepeth
<8104 shamar > the truth <0529 >emuwn > may enter <0935 bow> >
in.
3 Thou wilt keep <5341 natsar > [him] in perfect peace <7965
shalowm >, [whose] mind <3336 yetser > [is] stayed <5564 camak >
[on thee]: because <3588 kiy > he trusteth <0982 batach > in
thee.
4 Trust <0982 batach > ye in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > for ever
<5703 <ad >: for in the LORD <3050 Yahh > JEHOVAH <3068 Y@hovah

5. For he bringeth <7817 shachach > down <7817 shachach > them
that dwell <3427 yashab > on <4791 marowm > high <4791 marowm >;
the lofty <7682 sagab > city <7151 qiryah >, he layeth it low
<8213 shaphel >; he layeth it low <8213 shaphel >, [even] to the
ground <0776 >erets >; he bringeth <5060 naga< > it [even] to
the dust <6083 <aphar >.
6 The foot <7272 regel > shall tread <7429 ramac > it down,
[even] the feet <7272 regel > of the poor <6041 <aniy >, [and]
the steps <6471 pa<am > of the needy <1800 dal >.
7 The way <0734 >orach > of the just <6662 tsaddiyq > [is]
uprightness <4339 meyshar >: thou, most upright <3477 yashar >,
dost weigh <6424 palac > the path <4570 ma<gal > of the just
<6662 tsaddiyq >.
8 Yea <0637 >aph >, in the way <0734 >orach > of thy judgments
<4941 mishpat >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, have we waited <6960
qavah > for thee; the desire <8378 ta>avah > of [our] soul <5315
nephesh > [is] to thy name <8034 shem >, and to the remembrance
<2143 zeker > of thee.
9 With my soul <5315 nephesh > have I desired <0183 >avah >
thee in the night <3915 layil >; yea <0637 >aph >, with my
spirit <7307 ruwach > within <7130 qereb > me will I seek <7836
shachar > thee early <7836 shachar >: for when <0834 >aher > thy
judgments <4941 mishpat > [are] in the earth <0776 >erets >, the
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the world <8398 tebel > will learn
<3925 lamad > righteousness <6664 tsedeq >.
10 Let favour <2603 chanan > be shewed to the wicked <7563
rasha< >, [yet] will he not learn <3925 lamad > righteousness
<6664 tsedeq >: in the land <0776 >erets > of uprightness <5229
n@kochah > will he deal unjustly <5765 <aval >, and will not
behold <7200 ra>ah > the majesty <1348 ge>uwth > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.
11 LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [when] thy hand <3027 yad > is lifted
<5375 nasa> > up, they will not see <2372 chazah >: [but] they
shall see <2372 chazah >, and be ashamed <0954 buwsh > for
[their] envy <7068 qin>ah > at the people <5971 <am >; yea <0637
>aph >, the fire <0784 >esh > of thine enemies <6862 tsar >
shall devour <0398 >akal > them.
12. LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou wilt ordain <8239 shaphath >
peace <7965 shalowm > for us: for thou also <1571 gam > hast
wrought <6466 pa<al > all <3605 kol > our works <4639 ma<aseh >
in us.
13 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >, [other]
lords <0113 >adown > beside <2108 zuwlah > thee have had
dominion <1196 Ba<anah > over us: [but] by thee only <0905 bad >
will we make mention <2142 zakar > of thy name <8034 shem >.
14 [They are] dead <4191 muwth >, they shall not live <2421
chayah >; [they are] deceased <7496 rapha> >, they shall not
rise <6965 quwm >: therefore <3651 ken > hast thou visited <6485
paqad > and destroyed <8045 shamad > them, and made all <3605
kol > their memory <2143 zeker > to perish <6>.
15 Thou hast increased <3254 yacaph > the nation <1471 gowy >,
O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou hast increased <3254 yacaph > the
nation <1471 gowy >: thou art glorified <3513 kabad >: thou
hadst removed <7368 rachaq > [it] far <7368 rachaq > [unto] all
<3605 kol > the ends <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets >.
16 LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, in trouble <6862 tsar > have they
visited <6485 paqad > thee, they poured <6694 tsuwq > out a
prayer <3908 lachash > [when] thy chastening <4148 muwcar >
[was] upon them.
17 Like <3644 k@mow > as a woman with child <2030 hareh >,
[that] draweth near <7126 qarab > the time of her delivery <3205
yalad >, is in pain <2342 chuwl >, [and] crieth <2199 za<aq >
out in her pangs <2256 chebel >; so <3651 ken > have we been
<1961 hayah > in thy sight <6440 paniym >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah

18 We have been with child <2029 harah >, we have been in pain
<2342 chuwl >, we have as it were brought <3205 yalad > forth
<3205 yalad > wind <7307 ruwach >; we have not wrought <6213
<asah > any deliverance <3444 y@shuw<ah > in the earth <0776

19 Thy dead <4191 muwth > [men] shall live <2421 chayah >,
[together with] my dead <5038 n@belah > body <5038 n@belah >
shall they arise <6965 quwm >. Awake <6974 quwts > and sing
<7442 ranan >, ye that dwell <7931 shakan > in dust <6083 <aphar

<0219 >owrah >, and the earth <0776 >erets > shall cast <5307
naphal > out the dead <7496 rapha> >.
20. Come <3212 yalak >, my people <5971 <am >, enter <0935 bow>

thy doors <1817 deleth > about <1157 b@<ad > thee: hide <2247

<7281 rega< >, until <5704 <ad > the indignation <2195 za<am >
be overpast <5674 <abar >.
21 For, behold <2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > cometh
<3318 yatsa> > out of his place <4725 maqowm > to punish <6485
paqad > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the earth <0776 >erets

slain <2026 harag >.
Isaiah 27
1. In that day <3117 yowm > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > with his
sore <7186 qasheh > and great <1419 gadowl > and strong <2389
chazaq > sword <2719 chereb > shall punish <6485 paqad >
leviathan <3882 livyathan > the piercing <1281 bariyach >
serpent <5175 nachash >, even leviathan <3882 livyathan > that
crooked <6129 <aqallathown > serpent <5175 nachash >; and he

2 In that day <3117 yowm > sing <6031 <anah > ye unto her, A
vineyard <3754 kerem > of red <2561 chemer > wine <2561 chemer >.
3 I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > do keep <5341 natsar > it; I will

night <3915 layil > and day <3117 yowm >.
4 Fury <2534 chemah > [is] not in me: who <4310 miy > would set
<5414 nathan > the briers <8068 shamiyr > [and] thorns <7898
shayith > against me in battle <4421 milchamah >? I would go

5 Or <0176 >ow > let him take <2388 chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq

6 He shall cause them that come <0935 bow> > of Jacob <3290

7. Hath he smitten <5221 nakah > him, as he smote <4347 makkah

8 In measure <5432 ca>c@>ah >, when it shooteth <7971 shalach >

9 By this <2063 zo>th > therefore <3651 ken > shall the
iniquity <5771 <avon > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > be purged <3722

the stones <68> of the altar <4196 mizbeach > as chalkstones
that are beaten <5310 naphats > in sunder, the groves <0842

10 Yet the defenced <1219 batsar > city <5892 <iyr > [shall be]
desolate <0910 badad >, [and] the habitation <5116 naveh >
forsaken <7971 shalach >, and left <5800 <azab > like a

11 When the boughs <7105 qatsiyr > thereof are withered <3001

hosts <6635 tsaba> > be for a crown <5850 <atarah > of glory
<6643 ts@biy >, and for a diadem <6843 ts@phiyrah > of beauty
<8597 tiph>arah >, unto the residue <7605 sh@>ar > of his people
<5971 <am >,
6 And for a spirit <7307 ruwach > of judgment <4941 mishpat >
to him that sitteth <3427 yashab > in judgment <4941 mishpat >,
and for strength <1369 g@buwrah > to them that turn <7725 shuwb

7 But they also <1571 gam > have erred <7686 shagah > through
wine <3196 yayin >, and through strong drink <7941 shekar > are
out of the way <8582 ta<ah >; the priest <3548 kohen > and the
prophet <5030 nabiy> > have erred <7686 shagah > through strong
drink <7941 shekar >, they are swallowed <1104 bala< > up of
wine <3196 yayin >, they are out of the way <8582 ta<ah >
through <4480 min > strong drink <7941 shekar >; they err <7686
shagah > in vision <7203 ro>eh >, they stumble <6328 puwq > [in]
judgment <6417 p@liyliyah >.
8 For all <3605 kol > tables <7979 shulchan > are full <4390
male> > of vomit <6892 qe> > [and] filthiness <6675 tsow>ah >,
[so that there is] no <1097 b@liy > place <4725 maqowm > [clean].
9. Whom shall he teach <3384 yarah > knowledge <1844 de<ah >?
and whom shall he make to understand <0995 biyn > doctrine <8052
sh@muw<ah >? [them that are] weaned <1580 gamal > from the milk
<2461 chalab >, [and] drawn <6267 attiyq > from the breasts
<7699 shad >.
10 For precept <6673 tsav > [must be] upon precept <6673 tsav >,
precept <6673 tsav > upon precept <6673 tsav >; line <6957 qav

here <8033 sham > a little <2191 ze<eyr >, [and] there <8033
sham > a little <2191 ze<eyr >:
11 For with stammering <3934 la<eg > lips <8193 saphah > and
another <0312 >acher > tongue <3956 lashown > will he speak
<1696 dabar > to this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >.
12 To whom he said <0559 >amar >, This <2063 zo>th > [is] the
rest <4496 m@nuwchah > [wherewith <0834 >aher >] ye may cause
the weary <5889 <ayeph > to rest <5117 nuwach >; and this <2063
zo>th > [is] the refreshing <4774 marge<ah >: yet they would
<14> not hear <8085 shama< >.
13 But the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was
unto them precept <6673 tsav > upon precept <6673 tsav >,
precept <6673 tsav > upon precept <6673 tsav >; line <6957 qav >
upon line <6957 qav >, line <6957 qav > upon line <6957 qav >;
here <8033 sham > a little <2191 ze<eyr >, [and] there <8033
sham > a little <2191 ze<eyr >; that they might go <3212 yalak >,
and fall <3782 kashal > backward <0268 >achowr >, and be broken
<7665 shabar >, and snared <3369 yaqosh >, and taken <3920 lakad

14. Wherefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, ye scornful <3944 latsown >
men <0582 >enowsh >, that rule <4910 mashal > this <2088 zeh >
people <5971 <am > which <0834 >aher > [is] in Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >.
15 Because <3588 kiy > ye have said <0559 >amar >, We have made
<3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with death <4194
maveth >, and with hell <7585 sh@>owl > are we at agreement
<2374 chozeh >; when <3588 kiy > the overflowing <7857 shataph >
scourge <7885 shayit > shall pass <5674 <abar > through, it
shall not come <0935 bow> > unto us: for we have made <7760 suwm
> lies <3576 kazab > our refuge <4268 machaceh >, and under
falsehood <8267 sheqer > have we hid <5641 cathar > ourselves:
16 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >, Behold <2005 hen >,
I lay in Zion <6726 Tsiyown > for a foundation <3248 y@cuwdah >
a stone <68>, a tried <0976 bochan > stone <68>, a precious
<3368 yaqar > corner <6438 pinnah > [stone], a sure <3245 yacad

shall not make haste <2363 chuwsh >.
17 Judgment <4941 mishpat > also will I lay <7760 suwm > to the
line <6957 qav >, and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > to the
plummet <4949 mishqeleth >: and the hail <1259 barad > shall
sweep <3261 ya<ah > away the refuge <4268 machaceh > of lies
<3576 kazab >, and the waters <4325 mayim > shall overflow <7857
shataph > the hiding <5643 cether > place.
18 And your covenant <1285 b@riyth > with death <4194 maveth >
shall be disannulled <3722 kaphar >, and your agreement <2380
chazuwth > with hell <7585 sh@>owl > shall not stand <6965 quwm

<7752 showt > shall pass <5674 <abar > through, then ye shall be
trodden <4823 mirmac > down by it.
19 From the time <1767 day > that it goeth <5674 <abar > forth
<5674 <abar > it shall take <3947 laqach > you: for morning
<1242 boqer > by morning <1242 boqer > shall it pass <5674 <abar

layil >: and it shall be a vexation <2113 z@va<ah > only <7535
raq > [to] understand <0995 biyn > the report <8052 sh@muw<ah >.
20 For the bed <4702 matstsa< > is shorter <7114 qatsar > than
that [a man <0376 >iysh >] can stretch <8311 sara< > himself [on
it]: and the covering <4541 maccekah > narrower <6887 tsarar >
than that he can wrap <3664 kanac > himself [in it].
21 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall rise <6965 quwm > up as
[in] mount <2022 har > Perazim, he shall be wroth <7264 ragaz >
as [in] the valley <6010 <emeq > of Gibeon <1391 Gib<own >, that
he may do <6213 <asah > his work <4639 ma<aseh >, his strange
<2114 zuwr > work <4639 ma<aseh >; and bring <5647 <abad > to
pass <5674 <abar > his act <5556 col<am >, his strange <5237
nokriy > act <5556 col<am >.
22 Now <6258 <attah > therefore be ye not mockers <3887 luwts >,
lest <6435 pen > your bands <4147 mowcer > be made strong <2388
chazaq >: for I have heard <8085 shama< > from the Lord <0136
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > a
consumption <3617 kalah >, even determined <2782 charats > upon
the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets >.
23. Give ye ear <0238 >azan >, and hear <8085 shama< > my voice
<6963 qowl >; hearken <7181 qashab >, and hear <8085 shama< > my
speech <0565 >imrah >.
24 Doth the plowman <2790 charash > plow <2790 charash > all
<3605 kol > day <3117 yowm > to sow <2232 zara< >? doth he open
<6605 pathach > and break <7702 sadad > the clods <7702 sadad >
of his ground <0127 >adamah >?
25 When <0518 >im > he hath made plain <7737 shavah > the face
<6440 paniym > thereof, doth he not cast <6327 puwts > abroad
<6327 puwts > the fitches <7100 qetsach >, and scatter <2236
zaraq > the cummin <3646 kammon >, and cast <7760 suwm > in the
principal <7795 sowrah > wheat <2406 chittah > and the appointed
<5567 caman > barley <8184 s@<orah > and the rie <3698 kuccemeth

26 For his God <0430 >elohiym > doth instruct <3256 yacar > him
to discretion <4941 mishpat >, [and] doth teach <3384 yarah >
him.
27 For the fitches <7100 qetsach > are not threshed <1758 duwsh

bal > is a cart <5699 <agalah > wheel <0212 >owphan > turned
<5437 cabab > about upon the cummin <3646 kammon >; but the
fitches <7100 qetsach > are beaten <2251 chabat > out with a
staff <4294 matteh >, and the cummin <3646 kammon > with a rod
<7626 shebet >.
28 Bread <3899 lechem > [corn] is bruised <1854 daqaq >;
because <3588 kiy > he will not ever <5331 netsach > be
threshing <1758 duwsh > it, nor break <2000 hamam > [it with]
the wheel <1536 gilgal > of his cart <5699 <agalah >, nor <3808

29 This <2088 zeh > also <1571 gam > cometh <3318 yatsa> >
forth <3318 yatsa> > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> >, [which] is wonderful <6381 pala> > in counsel
<6098 <etsah >, [and] excellent <1431 gadal > in working <8454
tuwshiyah >.
Isaiah 29
1. Woe <1945 howy > to Ariel <0740 >Ari>el >, to Ariel <0740
>Ari>el >, the city <7151 qiryah > [where] David <1732 David >
dwelt <2583 chanah >! add <5595 caphah > ye year <8141 shaneh >
to year <8141 shaneh >; let them kill <5362 naqaph > sacrifices
<2282 chag >.
2 Yet I will distress <6693 tsuwq > Ariel <0740 >Ari>el >, and
there shall be heaviness <8386 ta>aniyah > and sorrow <0592

3 And I will camp <2583 chanah > against <5921 <al > thee round
<1754 duwr > about, and will lay siege <6696 tsuwr > against
<5921 <al > thee with a mount <4674 mutstsab >, and I will raise
<6965 quwm > forts <4694 m@tsuwrah > against <5921 <al > thee.
4 And thou shalt be brought <8213 shaphel > down <8213 shaphel

shachach > out of the dust <6083 <aphar >, and thy voice <6963
qowl > shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit <0178

>imrah > shall whisper <6850 tsaphaph > out of the dust <6083
<aphar >.
5 Moreover the multitude <1995 hamown > of thy strangers <2114
zuwr > shall be like small <1851 daq > dust <80>, and the
multitude <1995 hamown > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts > ones
[shall be] as chaff <4671 mots > that passeth <5674 <abar > away:
yea, it shall be at an instant <6621 petha< > suddenly <6597

6 Thou shalt be visited <6485 paqad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

earthquake <7494 ra<ash >, and great <1419 gadowl > noise <6963

and the flame <3851 lahab > of devouring <0398 >akal > fire
<0784 >esh >.
7 And the multitude <1995 hamown > of all <3605 kol > the
nations <1471 gowy > that fight <6633 tsaba> > against <5921 <al

distress <6693 tsuwq > her, shall be as a dream <2472 chalowm >
of a night <3915 layil > vision <2377 chazown >.
8 It shall even be as when <0834 >aher > an hungry <7456 ra<eb

eateth <0398 >akal >; but he awaketh <6974 quwts >, and his soul
<5315 nephesh > is empty <7385 riyq >: or as when <0834 >aher >
a thirsty <6771 tsame> > man dreameth <2492 chalam >, and,
behold <2009 hinneh >, he drinketh <8354 shathah >; but he
awaketh <6974 quwts >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, [he is] faint
<5889 <ayeph >, and his soul <5315 nephesh > hath appetite <8264
shaqaq >: so shall the multitude <1995 hamown > of all <3605 kol

<5921 <al > mount <2022 har > Zion <6726 Tsiyown >.
9. Stay <4102 mahahh > yourselves, and wonder <8539 tamahh >;
cry <8173 sha<a< > ye out, and cry <8173 sha<a< >: they are
drunken <7937 shakar >, but not with wine <3196 yayin >; they
stagger <5128 nuwa< >, but not with strong drink <7941 shekar >.
10 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath poured <5258 nacak > out
upon you the spirit <7307 ruwach > of deep <8639 tardemah >
sleep <8639 tardemah >, and hath closed <6105 <atsam > your eyes
<5869 <ayin >: the prophets <5030 nabiy> > and your rulers <7218
ro>sh >, the seers <2374 chozeh > hath he covered <3680 kacah >.
11 And the vision <2380 chazuwth > of all <3605 kol > is become
<1961 hayah > unto you as the words <1697 dabar > of a book
<5612 cepher > that is sealed <2856 chatham >, which <0834 >aher

<0559 >amar >, Read <7121 qara> > this <2088 zeh >, I pray <4994

sealed <2856 chatham >:
12 And the book <5612 cepher > is delivered <5414 nathan > to
him that is not learned, saying <0559 >amar >, Read <7121 qara>

13 Wherefore the Lord <0136 >Adonay > said <0559 >amar >,
Forasmuch as this people <5971 <am > draw near <5066 nagash >
[me] with their mouth <6310 peh >, and with their lips <8193
saphah > do honour <3513 kabad > me, but have removed <7368
rachaq > their heart <3820 leb > far <7368 rachaq > from me, and
their fear <3374 yir>ah > toward <0854 >eth > me is taught <3925
lamad > by the precept <4687 mitsvah > of men <0582 >enowsh >:
14 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2005 hen >, I will proceed
<3254 yacaph > to do a marvellous <6381 pala> > work <6381 pala>

<6381 pala> > work <6381 pala> > and a wonder <6382 pele> >: for
the wisdom <2451 chokmah > of their wise <2450 chakam > [men]
shall perish <6>, and the understanding <0998 biynah > of their
prudent <0995 biyn > [men] shall be hid <5641 cathar >.
15 Woe <1945 howy > unto them that seek deep <6009 <amaq > to
hide <5641 cathar > their counsel <6098 <etsah > from the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, and their works <4639 ma<aseh > are in the dark
<4285 machshak >, and they say <0559 >amar >, Who <4310 miy >
seeth <7200 ra>ah > us? and who <4310 miy > knoweth <3045 yada<

16 Surely <0518 >im > your turning <2017 hophek > of things
upside down shall be esteemed <2803 chashab > as the potter's
<3335 yatsar > clay <2563 chomer >: for shall the work <4639

He made <6213 <asah > me not? or shall the thing framed <3336

He had no <3808 lo> > understanding <0995 biyn >?
17. [Is] it not yet <5750 <owd > a very <4213 miz<ar > little
<4592 m@<at > while, and Lebanon <3844 L@banown > shall be
turned <7725 shuwb > into a fruitful <3759 karmel > field, and
the fruitful <3759 karmel > field shall be esteemed <2803
chashab > as a forest <3293 ya<ar >?
18 And in that day <3117 yowm > shall the deaf <2795 cheresh >
hear <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of the book <5612
cepher >, and the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the blind <5787 <ivver >
shall see <7200 ra>ah > out of obscurity <0652 >ophel >, and out
of darkness <2822 choshek >.
19 The meek <6035 <anav > also shall increase <3254 yacaph >
[their] joy <8057 simchah > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the
poor <34> among men <0120 >adam > shall rejoice <1523 giyl > in
the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
20 For the terrible <6184 <ariyts > one is brought <0656 >aphec

consumed <3615 kalah >, and all <3605 kol > that watch <8245

21 That make a man <0120 >adam > an offender <2398 chata> > for
a word <1697 dabar >, and lay a snare <6983 qowsh > for him that
reproveth <3198 yakach > in the gate <8179 sha<ar >, and turn
<5186 natah > aside <5186 natah > the just <6662 tsaddiyq > for
a thing of nought <8414 tohuw >.
22 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, who <0834 >aher > redeemed <6299 padah

of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > shall not now

shall his face <6440 paniym > now <6258 <attah > wax pale <2357

23 But when <3588 kiy > he seeth <7200 ra>ah > his children
<3206 yeled >, the work <4639 ma<aseh > of mine hands <3027 yad

Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and shall
fear <6206 <arats > the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >.
24 They also that erred <8582 ta<ah > in spirit <7307 ruwach >
shall come <3045 yada< > to understanding <0998 biynah >, and
they that murmured <7279 ragan > shall learn <3925 lamad >
doctrine <3948 leqach >.
Isaiah 30
1. Woe <1945 howy > to the rebellious <5637 carar > children

3 Therefore shall the strength <4581 ma<owz > of Pharaoh <6547
Par<oh > be your shame <1322 bosheth >, and the trust <2622
chacuwth > in the shadow <6738 tsel > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >
[your] confusion <3639 k@limmah >.
4 For his princes <8269 sar > were at Zoan <6814 Tso<an >, and
his ambassadors <4397 mal>ak > came <5060 naga< > to Hanes <2609

5 They were all <3605 kol > ashamed <0954 buwsh > of a people

a reproach <2781 cherpah >.

7 For the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > shall help <5826 <azar >

before <0854 >eth > them in a table <3871 luwach >, and note
<2710 chaqaq > it in a book <5612 cepher >, that it may be for
the time <3117 yowm > to come <0314 >acharown > for ever <5703
<ad > and ever <5769 <owlam >:
9 That this <1931 huw> > [is] a rebellious <4805 m@riy > people
<5971 <am >, lying <3586 kechash > children <1121 ben >,
children <1121 ben > [that] will <14> not hear <8085 shama< >
the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:
10 Which <0834 >aher > say <0559 >amar > to the seers <7200

11 Get you out of the way <1870 derek >, turn <5186 natah >
aside <5186 natah > out of the path <0734 >orach >, cause the
Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to cease
<7673 shabath > from before <6440 paniym > us.
12 Wherefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Because
<3282 ya<an > ye despise <3988 ma>ac > this <2088 zeh > word
<1697 dabar >, and trust <0982 batach > in oppression <6233
<osheq > and perverseness <3868 luwz >, and stay <8172 sha<an >
thereon <5921 <al >:
13 Therefore <3651 ken > this <2088 zeh > iniquity <5771 <avon

<6621 petha< >.
14 And he shall break <7665 shabar > it as the breaking <7667

that is broken <3807 kathath > in pieces; he shall not spare

in the bursting <4386 m@kittah > of it a sherd <2789 cheres > to

yaqad >, or to take <2834 chasaph > water <4325 mayim > [withal]
out of the pit <1360 gebe >.
15 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >, the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; In returning <7729 shuwbah > and rest

<8252 shaqat > and in confidence <0985 bitchah > shall be your
strength <1369 g@buwrah >: and ye would <14> not.
16 But ye said <0559 >amar >, No <3808 lo> >; for we will flee
<5127 nuwc > upon horses <5483 cuwc >; therefore shall ye flee
<5127 nuwc >: and, We will ride <7392 rakab > upon the swift

be swift <7043 qalal >.
17 One <0259 >echad > thousand <0505 >eleph > [shall flee] at
<6440 paniym > the rebuke <1606 g@<arah > of one <0259 >echad >;
at <6440 paniym > the rebuke <1606 g@<arah > of five <2568

yathar > as a beacon <8650 toren > upon the top <7218 ro>sh > of
a mountain <2022 har >, and as an ensign <5251 nec > on <5921

18. And therefore <3651 ken > will the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
wait <2442 chakah >, that he may be gracious <2603 chanan > unto
you, and therefore <3651 ken > will he be exalted <7311 ruwm >,
that he may have mercy <7355 racham > upon you: for the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > [is] a God <0430 >elohiym > of judgment <4941
mishpat >: blessed <0835 >esher > [are] all <3605 kol > they
that wait <2442 chakah > for him.
19 For the people <5971 <am > shall dwell <3427 yashab > in
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: thou
shalt weep <1058 bakah > no <3808 lo> > more <1058 bakah >: he
will be very gracious <2603 chanan > unto thee at the voice
<6963 qowl > of thy cry <2201 za<aq >; when he shall hear <8085

20 And [though] the Lord <0136 >Adonay > give <5414 nathan >
you the bread <3899 lechem > of adversity <6862 tsar >, and the
water <4325 mayim > of affliction <3905 lachats >, yet shall not
thy teachers <3384 yarah > be removed <3670 kanaph > into a
corner <3671 kanaph > any more <5750 <owd >, but thine eyes
<5869 <ayin > shall see <7200 ra>ah > thy teachers <3384 yarah >:
21 And thine ears <0241 >ozen > shall hear <8085 shama< > a

22 Ye shall defile <2930 tame> > also the covering <6826

23 Then shall he give <5414 nathan > the rain <4306 matar > of

that day <3117 yowm > shall thy cattle <4735 miqneh > feed <7462

24 The oxen <0504 >eleph > likewise and the young asses <5895

shovel <7371 rachath > and with the fan <4214 mizreh >.
25 And there shall be upon every <3605 kol > high <1364 gaboahh

the great <7227 rab > slaughter <2027 hereg >, when the towers
<4026 migdal > fall <5307 naphal >.
26 Moreover the light <0216 >owr > of the moon <3842 l@banah >
shall be as the light <0216 >owr > of the sun <2535 chammah >,
and the light <0216 >owr > of the sun <8121 shemesh > shall be
sevenfold <7659 shib<athayim >, as the light <0216 >owr > of

that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > bindeth <2280 chabash > up the
breach <7667 sheber > of his people <5971 <am >, and healeth
<7495 rapha> > the stroke <4273 machats > of their wound <4347

27. Behold <2009 hinneh >, the name <8034 shem > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > cometh <0935 bow> > from far <4801 merchaq >,
burning <1197 ba<ar > [with] his anger <0639 >aph >, and the
burden <4858 massa>ah > [thereof is] heavy <3514 kobed >: his
lips <8193 saphah > are full <4390 male> > of indignation <2195
za<am >, and his tongue <3956 lashown > as a devouring <0398

28 And his breath <7307 ruwach >, as an overflowing <7857
shataph > stream <5158 nachal >, shall reach <5060 naga< > to
the midst <2673 chatsah > of the neck <6677 tsavva>r >, to sift
<5130 nuwph > the nations <1471 gowy > with the sieve <5299
naphah > of vanity <7723 shav> >: and [there shall be] a bridle
<7448 recen > in the jaws <3895 l@chiy > of the people <5971 <am

29 Ye shall have <1961 hayah > a song <7892 shiyr >, as in the
night <3915 layil > [when] a holy <6942 qadash > solemnity <2282
chag > is kept <6942 qadash >; and gladness <8057 simchah > of

of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
30 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall cause his glorious <1935
howd > voice <6963 qowl > to be heard <8085 shama< >, and shall
shew <7200 ra>ah > the lighting <5183 Nachath > down <5183
Nachath > of his arm <2220 z@rowa< >, with the indignation <2197
za<aph > of [his] anger <0639 >aph >, and [with] the flame <3851
lahab > of a devouring <0398 >akal > fire <0784 >esh >, [with]
scattering <5311 nephets >, and tempest <2230 zerem >, and
hailstones.
31 For through the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

32 And [in] every <3605 kol > place where the grounded <4145

which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall lay <5117

harps <3658 kinnowr >: and in battles <4421 milchamah > of
shaking <8573 t@nuwphah > will he fight <3898 lacham > with it.
33 For Tophet <8613 Tophteh > [is] ordained <6186 <arak > of
old <0865 >ethmowl >; yea <1571 gam >, for the king <4428 melek

like a stream <5158 nachal > of brimstone <1614 gophriyth >,
doth kindle <1197 ba<ar > it.
Isaiah 31
1. Woe <1945 howy > to them that go <3381 yarad > down <3381
yarad > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for help <5833 <ezrah >; and
stay <8172 sha<an > on <5921 <al > horses <5483 cuwc >, and
trust <0982 batach > in chariots <7393 rekeb >, because <3588
kiy > [they are] many <7227 rab >; and in horsemen <6571 parash

qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, neither <3808 lo> >
seek <1875 darash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >!
2 Yet he also <1571 gam > [is] wise <2450 chakam >, and will
bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< >, and will not call <5493
cuwr > back <5493 cuwr > his words <1697 dabar >: but will arise
<6965 quwm > against <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of the
evildoers <7489 ra<a< >, and against <5921 <al > the help <5833
<ezrah > of them that work <6213 <asah > iniquity <0205 >aven >.
3 Now the Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > [are] men <0120 >adam >,
and not God <0410 >el >; and their horses <5483 cuwc > flesh
<1320 basar >, and not spirit <7307 ruwach >. When the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > shall stretch <5186 natah > out his hand <3027
yad >, both <8147 sh@nayim > he that helpeth <5826 <azar > shall
fall <3782 kashal >, and he that is holpen <5826 <azar > shall
fall <5307 naphal > down, and they all <3605 kol > shall fail
<3615 kalah > together <3162 yachad >.
4 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spoken
<0559 >amar > unto me, Like as the lion <0738 >ariy > and the
young <3715 k@phiyr > lion <3715 k@phiyr > roaring <1897 hagah >

multitude <4393 m@lo> > of shepherds <7462 ra<ah > is called

afraid <2865 chathath > of their voice <6963 qowl >, nor <3808

of them: so <3651 ken > shall the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to fight
<6633 tsaba> > for mount <2022 har > Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, and
for the hill <1389 gib<ah > thereof.
5 As birds <6833 tsippowr > flying <5774 <uwph >, so will the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > defend <1598 ganan

he will deliver <5337 natsal > [it; and] passing <5674 <abar >
over he will preserve <4422 malat > it.
6. Turn <7725 shuwb > ye unto [him from] whom <0834 >aher > the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have deeply
<6009 <amaq > revolted <5627 carah >.
7 For in that day <3117 yowm > every man <0376 >iysh > shall
cast <3988 ma>ac > away <3988 ma>ac > his idols <0457 >eliyl >
of silver <3701 keceph >, and his idols <0457 >eliyl > of gold
<2091 zahab >, which <0834 >aher > your own hands <3027 yad >
have made <6213 <asah > unto you [for] a sin <2399 chet> >.
8 Then shall the Assyrian <0804 >Ashshuwr > fall <5307 naphal >
with the sword <2719 chereb >, not of a mighty <0376 >iysh > man
<0376 >iysh >; and the sword <2719 chereb >, not of a mean <0120

he shall flee <5127 nuwc > from the sword <2719 chereb >, and
his young <0970 bachuwr > men shall be discomfited <4522 mac >.
9 And he shall pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > to his
strong <5553 cela< > hold <5553 cela< > for fear <4032 magowr >,
and his princes <8269 sar > shall be afraid <2865 chathath > of
the ensign <5251 nec >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, whose <0834 >aher > fire <0217 >uwr > [is] in Zion

<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
Isaiah 32
1. Behold <2005 hen >, a king <4428 melek > shall reign <4427
malak > in righteousness <6664 tsedeq >, and princes <8269 sar >

2 And a man <0376 >iysh > shall be as an hiding <4224 machabe>

in a weary <5889 <ayeph > land <0776 >erets >.
3 And the eyes <5869 <ayin > of them that see <7200 ra>ah >
shall not be dim <8159 sha<ah >, and the ears <0241 >ozen > of
them that hear <8085 shama< > shall hearken <7181 qashab >.
4 The heart <3824 lebab > also of the rash <4116 mahar > shall

<3956 lashown > of the stammerers <5926 <illeg > shall be ready
<4116 mahar > to speak <1696 dabar > plainly <6703 tsach >.
5 The vile <5036 nabal > person shall be no <3808 lo> > more

6 For the vile <5036 nabal > person will speak <1696 dabar >
villany <5039 n@balah >, and his heart <3820 leb > will work
<6213 <asah > iniquity <0205 >aven >, to practise <6213 <asah >
hypocrisy <2612 choneph >, and to utter <1696 dabar > error
<8432 tavek > against <0413 >el > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to
make empty <7324 ruwq > the soul <5315 nephesh > of the hungry

7 The instruments <3627 k@liy > also of the churl <3596 kiylay

8 But the liberal <5081 nadiyb > deviseth <3289 ya<ats >
liberal <5081 nadiyb > things; and by liberal <5081 nadiyb >
things shall he stand <6965 quwm >.
9. Rise <6965 quwm > up, ye women <0802 >ishshah > that are at

10 Many days <3117 yowm > and years <8141 shaneh > shall ye be

11 Tremble <2729 charad >, ye women that are at ease <7600

12 They shall lament <5594 caphad > for the teats <7699 shad >,

13 Upon the land <0127 >adamah > of my people <5971 <am > shall

15 Until <5704 <ad > the spirit <7307 ruwach > be poured <6168

Isaiah 33
1. Woe <1945 howy > to thee that spoilest <7703 shadad >, and
thou [wast] not spoiled <7703 shadad >; and dealest
treacherously <0898 bagad >, and they dealt not treacherously

spoil <7703 shadad >, thou shalt be spoiled <7703 shadad >;
[and] when thou shalt make an end <5239 nalah > to deal
treacherously <0898 bagad >, they shall deal treacherously <0898
bagad > with thee.
2 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, be gracious <2603 chanan > unto us;
we have waited <6960 qavah > for thee: be thou their arm <2220

3 At the noise <6963 qowl > of the tumult <1995 hamown > the
people <5971 <am > fled <5074 nadad >; at the lifting <7427

4 And your spoil <7998 shalal > shall be gathered <0622 >acaph

5 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is exalted <7682 sagab >; for he
dwelleth <7931 shakan > on high <4791 marowm >: he hath filled

6 And wisdom <2451 chokmah > and knowledge <1847 da<ath > shall

[and] strength <2633 chocen > of salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah >:
the fear <3374 yir>ah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] his

8 The highways <4546 m@cillah > lie waste <8074 shamem >, the
wayfaring man ceaseth <7673 shabath >: he hath broken <6565

10 Now <6258 <attah > will I rise <6965 quwm >, saith <0559

14 The sinners <2400 chatta> > in Zion <6726 Tsiyown > are

15 He that walketh <1980 halak > righteously <6666 ts@daqah >,

19 Thou shalt not see <7200 ra>ah > a fierce <3267 ya<az >

20 Look <2372 chazah > upon Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, the city

king <4428 melek >, the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804

5 I say <0559 >amar >, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain
<8193 saphah > words <1697 dabar >) [I have] counsel <6098

trust <0982 batach >, that thou rebellest <4775 marad > against

6 Lo <2009 hinneh >, thou trustest <0982 batach > in the staff
<4938 mish<enah > of this <2088 zeh > broken <7533 ratsats >
reed <7070 qaneh >, on <5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >;
whereon if a man <0376 >iysh > lean <5564 camak >, it will go

7 But if thou say <0559 >amar > to me, We trust <0982 batach >
in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >: [is it]
not he, whose high <1111 Balaq > places and whose altars <4196

away <5493 cuwr >, and said <0559 >amar > to Judah <3063

8 Now <6258 <attah > therefore give pledges <6148 <arab >, I
pray <4994 na> > thee, to my master <0113 >adown > the king

of the least <6996 qatan > of my master's <0113 >adown >

<5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for chariots <7393 rekeb >
and for horsemen <6571 parash >?
10 And am I now <6258 <attah > come <5927 <alah > up without

this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > to destroy <7843 shachath

<5927 <alah > up against <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > land
<0776 >erets >, and destroy <7843 shachath > it.
11. Then said <0559 >amar > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > and
Shebna <7644 Shebna> > and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > unto Rabshakeh
<7262 Rabshaqeh >, Speak <1696 dabar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee,
unto thy servants <5650 <ebed > in the Syrian <0762 >Aramiyth >
language; for we understand <8085 shama< > [it]: and speak <1696

ears <0241 >ozen > of the people <5971 <am > that [are] on <5921

12 But Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar >, Hath my
master <0113 >adown > sent <7971 shalach > me to thy master
<0113 >adown > and to thee to speak <1696 dabar > these <0428

men <0582 >enowsh > that sit <3427 yashab > upon the wall <2346
chowmah >, that they may eat <0398 >akal > their own dung, and
drink <8354 shathah > their own piss <7890 shayin > with you?
13 Then Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > stood <5975 <amad >, and
cried <7121 qara> > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl

Hear <8085 shama< > ye the words <1697 dabar > of the great
<1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek >, the king <4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.
14 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >,
Let not Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > deceive <5377 nasha> > you:
for he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to deliver <5337 natsal >
you.
15 Neither <0408 >al > let Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > make you
trust <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559

delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king
<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.
16 Hearken <8085 shama< > not to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >:
for thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, Make <6213 <asah > [an agreement]
with me [by] a present <1293 B@rakah >, and come <3318 yatsa> >

17 Until <5704 <ad > I come <0935 bow> > and take <3947 laqach

<8492 tiyrowsh >, a land <0776 >erets > of bread <3899 lechem >
and vineyards <3754 kerem >.
18 [Beware] lest <6435 pen > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >
persuade <5496 cuwth > you, saying <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068
Y@hovah > will deliver <5337 natsal > us. Hath any <0376 >iysh >
of the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy >
delivered <5337 natsal > his land <0776 >erets > out of the hand
<3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr

19 Where <0346 >ayeh > [are] the gods <0430 >elohiym > of
Hamath <2574 Chamath > and Arphad <0774 >Arpad >? where <0346

C@pharvayim >? and have they delivered <5337 natsal > Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown > out of my hand <3027 yad >?
20 Who <4310 miy > [are they] among all <3605 kol > the gods
<0430 >elohiym > of these <0428 >el-leh > lands <0776 >erets >,
that have delivered <5337 natsal > their land <0776 >erets > out
of my hand <3027 yad >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > should
deliver <5337 natsal > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > out of my
hand <3027 yad >?
21 But they held <2790 charash > their peace <2790 charash >,
and answered <6030 <anah > him not a word <1697 dabar >: for the
king's <4428 melek > commandment <4687 mitsvah > was, saying
<0559 >amar >, Answer <6030 <anah > him not.
22 Then came <0935 bow> > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym >, the son
<1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, that [was] over <5921

the scribe <5608 caphar >, and Joah <3098 Yow>ach >, the son

to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > with [their] clothes <0899 beged >
rent <7167 qara< >, and told <5046 nagad > him the words <1697

Isaiah 37
1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when king <4428 melek >
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > heard <8085 shama< > [it], that he
rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and covered <3680
kacah > himself with sackcloth <8242 saq >, and went <0935 bow>

2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym >, who
<0834 >aher > [was] over <5921 <al > the household <1004 bayith

elders <2205 zaqen > of the priests <3548 kohen > covered <3680

3 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, This <2088 zeh > day
<3117 yowm > [is] a day <3117 yowm > of trouble <6869 tsarah >,
and of rebuke <8433 towkechah >, and of blasphemy <5007 n@>atsah

birth <4866 mishber >, and [there is] not strength <3581 koach >
to bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad >.
4 It may be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >
will hear <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of Rabshakeh
<7262 Rabshaqeh >, whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > his master <0113 >adown > hath sent
<7971 shalach > to reproach <2778 charaph. > the living <2416

words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
thy God <0430 >elohiym > hath heard <8085 shama< >: wherefore
lift <5375 nasa> > up [thy] prayer <8605 t@phillah > for the
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > that is left <4672 matsa> >.
5 So the servants <5650 <ebed > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah > came <0935 bow> > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >.
6 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto them,
Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > unto your master
<0113 >adown >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the words <1697

>aher > the servants <5288 na<ar > of the king <4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have blasphemed <1442 gadaph > me.
7 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach > a blast <7307
ruwach > upon him, and he shall hear <8085 shama< > a rumour
<8052 sh@muw<ah >, and return <7725 shuwb > to his own land
<0776 >erets >; and I will cause him to fall <5307 naphal > by
the sword <2719 chereb > in his own land <0776 >erets >.
8. So Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > returned <7725 shuwb >, and
found <4672 matsa> > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804
>Ashshuwr > warring <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > Libnah
<3841 Libnah >: for he had heard <8085 shama< > that he was
departed <5265 naca< > from Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >.
9 And he heard <8085 shama< > say <0559 >amar > concerning
<5921 <al > Tirhakah <8640 Tirhaqah > king <4428 melek > of
Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh >, He is come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318
yatsa> > to make war <3898 lacham > with thee. And when he heard
<8085 shama< > [it], he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397
mal>ak > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, saying <0559 >amar >,
10 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye speak <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Let not thy God <0430 >elohiym >, in whom

shall not be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of
the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.
11 Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast heard <8085 shama< > what
<0834 >aher > the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr

delivered <5337 natsal >?
12 Have the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy >
delivered <5337 natsal > them which <0834 >aher > my fathers <1>
have destroyed <7843 shachath >, [as] Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and
Haran <2771 Charan >, and Rezeph <7530 Retseph >, and the
children <1121 ben > of Eden <5731 <Eden > which <0834 >aher >
[were] in Telassar <8515 T@la>ssar >?
13 Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the king <4428 melek > of Hamath
<2574 Chamath >, and the king <4428 melek > of Arphad <0774

Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >, Hena <2012 Hena< >, and Ivah
<5755 <Ivvah >?
14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > received <3947 laqach > the
letter <5612 cepher > from the hand <3027 yad > of the
messengers <4397 mal>ak >, and read <7121 qara> > it: and
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > went <5927 <alah > up unto the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and spread <6566
paras > it before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > prayed <6419 palal > unto the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,
16 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, God <0430

yashab > [between] the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb >, thou [art] the
God <0430 >elohiym >, [even] thou alone <0905 bad >, of all

and earth <0776 >erets >.
17 Incline <5186 natah > thine ear <0241 >ozen >, O LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, and hear <8085 shama< >; open <6491 paqach > thine

18 Of a truth <0551 >omnam >, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the kings
<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have laid waste <2717
charab > all <3605 kol > the nations <0776 >erets >, and their
countries <0776 >erets >,
19 And have cast <5414 nathan > their gods <0430 >elohiym >
into the fire <0784 >esh >: for they [were] no <3808 lo> > gods
<0430 >elohiym >, but the work <4639 ma<aseh > of men's <0120

therefore they have destroyed <6> them.
20 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God
<0430 >elohiym >, save <3467 yasha< > us from his hand <3027 yad

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [even] thou only <0905 bad >.
21. Then Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz
<0531 >Amowts > sent <7971 shalach > unto Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

<3478 Yisra>el >, Whereas <0834 >aher > thou hast prayed <6419

king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >:
22 This <2088 zeh > [is] the word <1697 dabar > which <0834

concerning <5921 <al > him; The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah >, the
daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, hath despised
<0959 bazah > thee, [and] laughed <3932 la<ag > thee to scorn;
the daughter <1323 bath > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > hath
shaken <5128 nuwa< > her head <7218 ro>sh > at thee.
23 Whom hast thou reproached <2778 charaph. > and blasphemed
<1442 gadaph >? and against <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > hast
thou exalted <7311 ruwm > [thy] voice <6963 qowl >, and lifted

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
24 By thy servants <5650 <ebed > hast thou reproached <2778
charaph. > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >, and hast said <0559 >amar >,
By the multitude <7230 rob > of my chariots <7393 rekeb > am I
come <5927 <alah > up to the height <4791 marowm > of the
mountains <2022 har >, to the sides <3411 y@rekah > of Lebanon
<3844 L@banown >; and I will cut <3772 karath > down the tall
<6967 qowmah > cedars <0730 >erez > thereof, [and] the choice
<4005 mibchar > fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees thereof: and I will
enter <0935 bow> > into the height <4791 marowm > of his border
<7093 qets >, [and] the forest <3293 ya<ar > of his Carmel <3760
Karmel >.
25 I have digged <5365 naqar >, and drunk <8354 shathah > water
<4325 mayim >; and with the sole <3709 kaph > of my feet <6471
pa<am > have I dried <2717 charab > up all <3605 kol > the
rivers <2975 y@<or > of the besieged <4693 matsowr > places.
26 Hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > long <5704 <ad > ago
<7350 rachowq >, [how] I have done <6213 <asah > it; [and] of
ancient <6924 qedem > times <3117 yowm >, that I have formed
<3335 yatsar > it? now <6258 <attah > have I brought <0935 bow>

defenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr > [into] ruinous <5327
natsah > heaps <1530 gal >.
27 Therefore their inhabitants <3427 yashab > [were] of small
<7116 qatser > power <3027 yad >, they were dismayed <2865
chathath > and confounded <0954 buwsh >: they were [as] the
grass <6212 <eseb > of the field <7704 sadeh >, and [as] the
green <3419 yaraq > herb <1877 deshe> >, [as] the grass <2682
chatsiyr > on the housetops <1406 gag >, and [as corn] blasted
<7709 sh@demah > before <6440 paniym > it be grown <6965 quwm >
up.
28 But I know <3045 yada< > thy abode <3427 yashab >, and thy
going <3318 yatsa> > out, and thy coming <0935 bow> > in, and
thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413 >el > me.
29 Because <3282 ya<an > thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413

up into mine ears <0241 >ozen >, therefore will I put <7760 suwm

<4964 metheg > in thy lips <8193 saphah >, and I will turn <7725
shuwb > thee back <7725 shuwb > by the way <1870 derek > by
which <0834 >aher > thou camest <0935 bow> >.
30 And this <2088 zeh > [shall be] a sign <0226 >owth > unto
thee, Ye shall eat <0398 >akal > [this] year <8141 shaneh > such

31 And the remnant <7604 sha>ar > that is escaped <6413
p@leytah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
shall again take root <8328 sheresh > downward <4295 mattah >,
and bear <6213 <asah > fruit <6529 p@riy > upward <4605 ma<al >:
32 For out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall go <3318

they that escape <6413 p@leytah > out of mount <2022 har > Zion
<6726 Tsiyown >: the zeal <7068 qin>ah > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > shall do <6213 <asah > this
<2063 zo>th >.
33 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > the king <4428
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, He shall not come <0935

nor <3808 lo> > come <6923 qadam > before <6924 qedem > it with
shields <4043 magen >, nor <3808 lo> > cast <8210 shaphak > a
bank <5550 col@lah > against <5921 <al > it.
34 By the way <1870 derek > that he came <0935 bow> >, by the
same shall he return <7725 shuwb >, and shall not come <0935
bow> > into <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
35 For I will defend <1598 ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city
<5892 <iyr > to save <3467 yasha< > it for mine own sake, and
for my servant <5650 <ebed > David's <1732 David > sake <4616
ma<an >.
36 Then the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and smote <5221 nakah

five <2568 chamesh > thousand <0505 >eleph >: and when they
arose <2224 zarach > early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242
boqer >, behold <2009 hinneh >, they [were] all <3605 kol > dead
<4191 muwth > corpses <6297 peger >.
37 So Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > departed <5265 naca< >, and went <3212
yalak > and returned <7725 shuwb >, and dwelt <3427 yashab > at
Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh >.
38 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as he was worshipping
<7812 shachah > in the house <1004 bayith > of Nisroch <5268
Nicrok > his god <0430 >elohiym >, that Adrammelech <0152

they escaped <4422 malat > into the land <0776 >erets > of
Armenia <0780 >Ararat >: and Esarhaddon <0634 >Ecar-Chaddown >
his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478
tachath >.
Isaiah 38
1. In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > was Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > sick <2470 chalah > unto death <4191 muwth >. And
Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son
<1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > came <0935 bow> > unto him,
and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

in order <6680 tsavah >: for thou shalt die <4191 muwth >, and
not live <2421 chayah >.
2 Then Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > turned <5437 cabab > his face
<6440 paniym > toward <0413 >el > the wall <7023 qiyr >, and
prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
3 And said <0559 >amar >, Remember <2142 zakar > now <4994 na>

<0834 >aher > I have walked <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym >
thee in truth <0571 >emeth > and with a perfect <8003 shalem >
heart <3820 leb >, and have done <6213 <asah > [that which is]
good <2896 towb > in thy sight <5869 <ayin >. And Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > wept <1058 bakah > sore <1419 gadowl >.
4 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >, saying <0559 >amar

5 Go <1980 halak >, and say <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of David <1732 David > thy
father <1>, I have heard <8085 shama< > thy prayer <8605
t@phillah >, I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thy tears <1832 dim<ah >:
behold <2005 hen >, I will add <3254 yacaph > unto thy days
<3117 yowm > fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh >.
6 And I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee and this <2063 zo>th >
city <5892 <iyr > out of the hand <3709 kaph > of the king <4428
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >: and I will defend <1598
ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >.
7 And this <2088 zeh > [shall be] a sign <0226 >owth > unto
thee from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

that he hath spoken <1696 dabar >;
8 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725
shuwb > the shadow <6738 tsel > of the degrees <4609 ma<alah >,
which <0834 >aher > is gone <3381 yarad > down in the sun <8121
shemesh > dial <4609 ma<alah > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz >, ten <6235

So the sun <8121 shemesh > returned <7725 shuwb > ten <6235
<eser > degrees <4609 ma<alah >, by which degrees <4609 ma<alah

9. The writing <4385 miktab > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, when he had been
sick <2470 chalah >, and was recovered <2421 chayah > of his
sickness <2483 choliy >:
10 I said <0559 >amar > in the cutting <1824 d@miy > off of my

sha<ar > of the grave <7585 sh@>owl >: I am deprived <6485 paqad

11 I said <0559 >amar >, I shall not see <7200 ra>ah > the LORD

<3427 yashab > of the world <2309 chedel >.
12 Mine age <1755 dowr > is departed <5265 naca< >, and is
removed <1556 galal > from me as a shepherd's <7473 ro<iy > tent
<0168 >ohel >: I have cut <7088 qaphad > off like a weaver <0707

with pining <1803 dallah > sickness: from day <3117 yowm >
[even] to night <3915 layil > wilt thou make an end <7999 shalam

13 I reckoned <7737 shavah > till <5704 <ad > morning <1242
boqer >, [that], as a lion <0738 >ariy >, so <3651 ken > will he
break <7665 shabar > all <3605 kol > my bones <6106 <etsem >:
from day <3117 yowm > [even] to night <3915 layil > wilt thou
make an end <7999 shalam > of me.
14 Like a crane <5483 cuwc > [or] a swallow <5693 <aguwr >, so
<3651 ken > did I chatter <6850 tsaphaph >: I did mourn <1897
hagah > as a dove <3123 yownah >: mine eyes <5869 <ayin > fail
<1809 dalal > [with looking] upward <4791 marowm >: O LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, I am oppressed <6234 <oshqah >; undertake <6148 <arab

15 What <4100 mah > shall I say <1696 dabar >? he hath both
spoken <0559 >amar > unto me, and himself <1931 huw> > hath done
<6213 <asah > [it]: I shall go <1718 dadah > softly all <3605
kol > my years <8141 shaneh > in the bitterness <4751 mar > of
my soul <5315 nephesh >.
16 O Lord <0136 >Adonay >, by these <5921 <al > [things men]
live <2421 chayah >, and in all <3605 kol > these [things is]
the life <2416 chay > of my spirit <7307 ruwach >: so wilt thou
recover <2492 chalam > me, and make me to live <2421 chayah >.
17 Behold <2009 hinneh >, for peace <7965 shalowm > I had great
bitterness <4843 marar >: but thou hast in love <2836 chashaq >
to my soul <5315 nephesh > [delivered it] from the pit <7845
shachath > of corruption <1097 b@liy >: for thou hast cast <7993
shalak > all <3605 kol > my sins <2399 chet> > behind <0310

18 For the grave <7585 sh@>owl > cannot <3808 lo> > praise
<3034 yadah > thee, death <4194 maveth > can <3201 yakol > [not]
celebrate <1984 halal > thee: they that go <3381 yarad > down
<3381 yarad > into the pit <0953 bowr > cannot <3808 lo> > hope
<7663 sabar > for thy truth <0571 >emeth >.
19 The living <2416 chay >, the living <2416 chay >, he shall
praise <3034 yadah > thee, as I [do] this day <3117 yowm >: the
father <1> to the children <1121 ben > shall make known <3045
yada< > thy truth <0571 >emeth >.
20 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [was ready] to save <3467 yasha< >
me: therefore we will sing my songs <5058 n@giynah > to the
stringed <5058 n@giynah > instruments all <3605 kol > the days
<3117 yowm > of our life <2416 chay > in the house <1004 bayith

21 For Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > had said <0559 >amar >, Let
them take <5375 nasa> > a lump <1690 d@belah > of figs <8384
t@>en >, and lay [it] for a plaister <4799 marach > upon the
boil <7822 sh@chiyn >, and he shall recover <2421 chayah >.
22 Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > also had said <0559 >amar >, What
<4100 mah > [is] the sign <0226 >owth > that I shall go <5927
<alah > up to the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

Isaiah 39
1. At that time <6256 <eth > Merodachbaladan <4757 M@ro>dak
Bal>adan >, the son <1121 ben > of Baladan <1081 Bal>adan >,
king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, sent <7971 shalach

Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >: for he had heard <8085 shama< > that
he had been sick <2470 chalah >, and was recovered <2388 chazaq

2 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > was glad <8056 sameach > of
them, and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them the house <1004 bayith > of
his precious <5238 n@koth > things, the silver <3701 keceph >,
and the gold <2091 zahab >, and the spices <1314 besem >, and
the precious <2896 towb > ointment <8081 shemen >, and all <3605
kol > the house <1004 bayith > of his armour <3627 k@liy >, and
all <3605 kol > that was found <4672 matsa> > in his treasures
<0214 >owtsar >: there was nothing in his house <1004 bayith >,
nor in all <3605 kol > his dominion <4475 memshalah >, that
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > them not.
3 Then came <0935 bow> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet
<5030 nabiy> > unto king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah

whence <0370 >aiyn > came <0935 bow> > they unto thee? And
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar >, They are come
<0935 bow> > from a far <7350 rachowq > country <0776 >erets >
unto me, [even] from Babylon <0894 Babel >.
4 Then said <0559 >amar > he, What <4100 mah > have they seen
<7200 ra>ah > in thine house <1004 bayith >? And Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar >, All <3605 kol > that [is] in
mine house <1004 bayith > have they seen <7200 ra>ah >: there is
nothing among my treasures <0214 >owtsar > that I have not
shewed <7200 ra>ah > them.
5. Then said <0559 >amar > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > to Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >:

<3117 yowm >, shall be carried <5375 nasa> > to Babylon <0894
Babel >: nothing shall be left <3498 yathar >, saith <0559 >amar

7 And of thy sons <1121 ben > that shall issue <3318 yatsa> >
from thee, which <0834 >aher > thou shalt beget <3205 yalad >,
shall they take <3947 laqach > away; and they shall be eunuchs
<5631 cariyc > in the palace <1964 heykal > of the king <4428
melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.
8 Then said <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > to Isaiah
<3470 Y@sha<yah >, Good <1319 basar > [is] the word <1697 dabar

spoken <1696 dabar >. He said <0559 >amar > moreover, For there
shall be peace <7965 shalowm > and truth <0571 >emeth > in my
days <3117 yowm >.
Isaiah 40
1. Comfort <5162 nacham > ye, comfort <5162 nacham > ye my
people <5971 <am >, saith <0559 >amar > your God <0430 >elohiym

2 Speak <1696 dabar > ye comfortably to Jerusalem <3389

double <3718 kephel > for all <3605 kol > her sins <2403

3. The voice <6963 qowl > of him that crieth <7121 qara> > in
the wilderness <4057 midbar >, Prepare <6437 panah > ye the way

4 Every <3605 kol > valley <1516 gay> > shall be exalted <5375

5 And the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

6 The voice <6963 qowl > said <0559 >amar >, Cry <7121 qara> >.
And he said <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > shall I cry <7121

7 The grass <2682 chatsiyr > withereth <3001 yabesh >, the

8 The grass <2682 chatsiyr > withereth <3001 yabesh >, the
flower <6731 tsiyts > fadeth <5034 nabel >: but the word <1697

9. O Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, that bringest <1319 basar > good

10 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069

11 He shall feed <7462 ra<ah > his flock <5739 <eder > like a

12. Who <4310 miy > hath measured <4058 madad > the waters
<4325 mayim > in the hollow <8168 sho<al > of his hand, and
meted <8505 takan > out heaven <8064 shamayim > with the span

13 Who <4310 miy > hath directed <8505 takan > the Spirit <7307

15 Behold <2005 hen >, the nations <1471 gowy > [are] as a drop

ye compare <6186 <arak > unto him?
19 The workman <2796 charash > melteth <5258 nacak > a graven
<6459 pecel > image, and the goldsmith <6884 tsaraph > spreadeth
<7554 raqa< > it over with gold <2091 zahab >, and casteth <6884

20 He that [is] so impoverished <5533 cakan > that he hath no

[that] shall not be moved <4131 mowt >.
21 Have ye not known <3045 yada< >? have ye not heard <8085

22 [It is] he that sitteth <3427 yashab > upon the circle <2329

23 That bringeth <5414 nathan > the princes <7336 razan > to

27. Why <4100 mah > sayest <0559 >amar > thou, O Jacob <3290
Ya<aqob >, and speakest <1696 dabar >, O Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
My way <1870 derek > is hid <5641 cathar > from the LORD <3068

28 Hast thou not known <3045 yada< >? hast thou not heard <8085

[there is] no <0369 >ayin > searching <2714 cheqer > of his
understanding <8394 tabuwn >.
29 He giveth <5414 nathan > power <3581 koach > to the faint

<0202 >own > he increaseth <7235 rabah > strength <6109 <otsmah

30 Even the youths <5288 na<ar > shall faint <3286 ya<aph > and
be weary <3021 yaga< >, and the young men shall utterly fall

31 But they that wait <6960 qavah > upon the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

Isaiah 41
1. Keep silence <2790 charash > before <0413 >el > me, O
islands <0339 >iy >; and let the people <3816 l@om > renew <2498

2 Who <4310 miy > raised <5782 <uwr > up the righteous <6664

<1471 gowy > before <6440 paniym > him, and made [him] rule
<7287 radah > over kings <4428 melek >? he gave <5414 nathan >
[them] as the dust <6083 <aphar > to his sword <2719 chereb >,
[and] as driven <5086 nadaph > stubble <7179 qash > to his bow
<7198 qesheth >.
3 He pursued <7291 radaph > them, [and] passed <5674 <abar >
safely <7965 shalowm >; [even] by the way <0734 >orach > [that]
he had not gone <0935 bow> > with his feet <7272 regel >.
4 Who <4310 miy > hath wrought <6466 pa<al > and done <6213
<asah > [it], calling <7121 qara> > the generations <1755 dowr >
from the beginning <7218 ro>sh >? I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
the first <7223 ri>shown >, and with the last <0314 >acharown >;
I [am] he.
5 The isles <0339 >iy > saw <7200 ra>ah > [it], and feared
<3372 yare> >; the ends <7098 qatsah > of the earth <0776 >erets

6 They helped <5826 <azar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh

good <1390 Gib<ah > courage <2388 chazaq >.
7 So the carpenter <2796 charash > encouraged <2388 chazaq >
the goldsmith <6884 tsaraph >, [and] he that smootheth <2505
chalaq > [with] the hammer <6360 pattiysh > him that smote <1986
halam > the anvil <6471 pa<am >, saying <0559 >amar >, It [is]
ready <2896 towb > for the sodering <1694 debeq >: and he
fastened <2388 chazaq > it with nails <4548 macmer >, [that] it
should not be moved <4131 mowt >.
8 But thou, Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [art] my servant <5650
<ebed >, Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > whom <0834 >aher > I have chosen
<0977 bachar >, the seed <2233 zera< > of Abraham <85> my friend
<0157 >ahab >.
9 [Thou] whom <0834 >aher > I have taken <2388 chazaq > from
the ends <7098 qatsah > of the earth <0776 >erets >, and called
<7121 qara> > thee from the chief <0678 >atsiyl > men thereof,
and said <0559 >amar > unto thee, Thou [art] my servant <5650
<ebed >; I have chosen <0977 bachar > thee, and not cast <3988

10. Fear <3372 yare> > thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not
dismayed <8159 sha<ah >; for I [am] thy God <0430 >elohiym >: I
will strengthen <0553 >amats > thee; yea <0637 >aph >, I will

of my righteousness <6664 tsedeq >.
11 Behold <2005 hen >, all <3605 kol > they that were incensed
<2734 charah > against thee shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > and
confounded <3637 kalam >: they shall be as nothing <0369 >ayin >;
and they that strive <7379 riyb > with thee shall perish <6>.
12 Thou shalt seek <1245 baqash > them, and shalt not find
<4672 matsa> > them, [even] them that contended <4695 matstsuwth

be as nothing <0369 >ayin >, and as a thing of nought <0657

13 For I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > will
hold <2388 chazaq > thy right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn >,
saying <0559 >amar > unto thee, Fear <3372 yare> > not; I will
help <5826 <azar > thee.
14 Fear <3372 yare> > not, thou worm <8438 towla< > Jacob <3290
Ya<aqob >, [and] ye men <4962 math > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >;
I will help <5826 <azar > thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, and thy redeemer <1350 ga>al >, the Holy <6918
qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
15 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I will make <7760 suwm > thee a new
<2319 chadash > sharp <2742 charuwts > threshing <4173 mowrag >
instrument having <1167 ba<al > teeth <6374 piyphiyah >: thou
shalt thresh <1758 duwsh > the mountains <2022 har >, and beat
<1854 daqaq > [them] small <1854 daqaq >, and shalt make <7760
suwm > the hills <1389 gib<ah > as chaff <4671 mots >.
16 Thou shalt fan <2219 zarah > them, and the wind <7307 ruwach

<1984 halal > in the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478

17 [When] the poor <6041 <aniy > and needy <34> seek <1245

[and] their tongue <3956 lashown > faileth <5405 nashath > for

<6030 <anah > them, I the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > will not forsake <5800 <azab > them.
18 I will open <6605 pathach > rivers <5103 n@har > in high
<8203 Sh@phatyah > places, and fountains <4599 ma<yan > in the
midst <8432 tavek > of the valleys <1237 biq<ah >: I will make
<7760 suwm > the wilderness <4057 midbar > a pool <98> of water
<4325 mayim >, and the dry <6723 tsiyah > land <0776 >erets >
springs <4161 mowtsa> > of water <4325 mayim >.
19 I will plant <5414 nathan > in the wilderness <4057 midbar >
the cedar <0730 >erez >, the shittah <7848 shittah > tree <6086

tree <6086 <ets >; I will set <7760 suwm > in the desert <6160

20 That they may see <7200 ra>ah >, and know <3045 yada< >, and
consider <7760 suwm >, and understand <7919 sakal > together
<3162 yachad >, that the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068

Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath created

21. Produce <7126 qarab > your cause <7379 riyb >, saith <0559

<5066 nagash > your strong <6110 <atstsumah > [reasons], saith

22 Let them bring <5066 nagash > [them] forth <5066 nagash >,

23 Shew <5046 nagad > the things that are to come <0857 >athah

24 Behold <2005 hen >, ye [are] of nothing <0369 >ayin >, and
your work <6467 po<al > of nought <0659 >epha< >: an abomination

25 I have raised <5782 <uwr > up [one] from the north <6828

26 Who <4310 miy > hath declared <5046 nagad > from the

Isaiah 42
1. Behold <2005 hen > my servant <5650 <ebed >, whom I uphold

5. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > God <0410 >el > the

6 I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have called <7121 qara> > thee in

7 To open <6491 paqach > the blind <5787 <ivver > eyes <5869

8 I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: that [is] my name <8034 shem

9 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the former <7223 ri>shown > things are

declare <5046 nagad >: before <2962 terem > they spring <6779

10 Sing <7891 shiyr > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > a new <2319

11 Let the wilderness <4057 midbar > and the cities <5892 <iyr

13. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall go <3318 yatsa> > forth

14 I have long <5769 <owlam > time holden <2814 chashah > my

destroy <5395 nasham > and devour <7602 sha>aph > at <3162
yachad > once <3162 yachad >.
15 I will make <7760 suwm > waste <2717 charab > mountains

all <3605 kol > their herbs <6212 <eseb >; and I will make <7760
suwm > the rivers <5103 n@har > islands <0339 >iy >, and I will
dry <3001 yabesh > up the pools <98>.
16 And I will bring <3212 yalak > the blind <5787 <ivver > by a
way <1870 derek > [that] they knew <3045 yada< > not; I will
lead <1869 darak > them in paths <5410 nathiyb > [that] they
have not known <3045 yada< >: I will make <7760 suwm > darkness
<4285 machshak > light <0216 >owr > before <6440 paniym > them,
and crooked <4625 ma<aqash > things straight <4334 miyshowr >.
These <0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar > will I do <6213 <asah

17 They shall be turned <5472 cuwg > back <0268 >achowr >, they
shall be greatly ashamed <0954 buwsh >, that trust <0982 batach

molten <4541 maccekah > images, Ye [are] our gods <0430 >elohiym

18. Hear <8085 shama< >, ye deaf <2795 cheresh >; and look
<5027 nabat >, ye blind <5787 <ivver >, that ye may see <7200

19 Who <4310 miy > [is] blind <5787 <ivver >, but my servant
<5650 <ebed >? or deaf <2795 cheresh >, as my messenger <4397
mal>ak > [that] I sent <7971 shalach >? who <4310 miy > [is]
blind <5787 <ivver > as [he that is] perfect <7999 shalam >, and
blind <5787 <ivver > as the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > servant <5650

20 Seeing <7200 ra>ah > many <7227 rab > things, but thou
observest <8104 shamar > not; opening <6491 paqach > the ears
<0241 >ozen >, but he heareth <8085 shama< > not.
21 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is well <2654 chaphets > pleased
<2654 chaphets > for his righteousness <6664 tsedeq >' sake
<4616 ma<an >; he will magnify <1431 gadal > the law <8451
towrah >, and make [it] honourable <0142 >adar >.
22 But this <1931 huw> > [is] a people <5971 <am > robbed <0962
bazaz > and spoiled <8154 shacah >; [they are] all <3605 kol >
of them snared <6351 pachach > in holes <2356 chowr >, and they
are hid <2244> in prison <3608 kele> > houses <1004 bayith >:
they are for a prey <0957 baz >, and none <0369 >ayin >
delivereth <5337 natsal >; for a spoil <4933 m@chiccah >, and
none <0369 >ayin > saith <0559 >amar >, Restore <7725 shuwb >.
23 Who <4310 miy > among you will give ear <0238 >azan > to
this <2063 zo>th >? [who] will hearken <7181 qashab > and hear
<8085 shama< > for the time <0268 >achowr > to come?
24 Who <4310 miy > gave <5414 nathan > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >
for a spoil <4882 m@shuwcah >, and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to
the robbers <0962 bazaz >? did not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, he
against whom <2098 zuw > we have sinned <2398 chata> >? for they
would <14> not walk <1980 halak > in his ways <1870 derek >,
neither <3808 lo> > were they obedient <8085 shama< > unto his
law <8451 towrah >.
25 Therefore he hath poured <8210 shaphak > upon him the fury
<2534 chemah > of his anger <0639 >aph >, and the strength <5807
<ezuwz > of battle <4421 milchamah >: and it hath set <7760 suwm

knew <3045 yada< > not; and it burned <1197 ba<ar > him, yet he
laid <7760 suwm > [it] not to heart <3820 leb >.
Isaiah 43
1. But now <6258 <attah > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that created <1254 bara> > thee, O
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and he that formed <3335 yatsar > thee, O
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Fear <3372 yare> > not: for I have
redeemed <1350 ga>al > thee, I have called <7121 qara> > [thee]
by thy name <8034 shem >; thou [art] mine.
2 When <3588 kiy > thou passest <5674 <abar > through the
waters <4325 mayim >, I [will be] with thee; and through the
rivers <5103 n@har >, they shall not overflow <7857 shataph >
thee: when <3588 kiy > thou walkest <3212 yalak > through <1119
b@mow > the fire <0784 >esh >, thou shalt not be burned <3554
kavah >; neither <3808 lo> > shall the flame <3852 lehabah >
kindle <1197 ba<ar > upon thee.
3 For I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >,
the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, thy
Saviour <3467 yasha< >: I gave <5414 nathan > Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim > [for] thy ransom <3724 kopher >, Ethiopia <3568
Kuwsh > and Seba <5434 C@ba> > for thee.
4 Since thou wast precious <3365 yaqar > in my sight <5869
<ayin >, thou hast been honourable <3513 kabad >, and I have
loved <0157 >ahab > thee: therefore will I give <5414 nathan >
men <0120 >adam > for thee, and people <3816 l@om > for thy life
<5315 nephesh >.
5 Fear <3372 yare> > not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring
<0935 bow> > thy seed <2233 zera< > from the east <4217 mizrach

6 I will say <0559 >amar > to the north <6828 tsaphown >, Give
<5414 nathan > up; and to the south <8486 teyman >, Keep <3607

from the ends <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets >;
7 [Even] every <3605 kol > one that is called <7121 qara> > by
my name <8034 shem >: for I have created <1254 bara> > him for
my glory <3519 kabowd >, I have formed <3335 yatsar > him; yea
<0637 >aph >, I have made <6213 <asah > him.
8. Bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the blind <5787
<ivver > people <5971 <am > that have <3426 yesh > eyes <5869

9 Let all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > be gathered
<6908 qabats > together <3162 yachad >, and let the people <3816

<5046 nagad > this <2063 zo>th >, and shew <8085 shama< > us
former <7223 ri>shown > things? let them bring <5414 nathan >
forth their witnesses <5707 <ed >, that they may be justified
<6663 tsadaq >: or let them hear <8085 shama< >, and say <0559

10 Ye [are] my witnesses <5707 <ed >, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and my servant <5650 <ebed > whom <0834

11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and beside <1107
bil<adey > me [there is] no <0369 >ayin > saviour <3467 yasha< >.
12 I have declared <5046 nagad >, and have saved <3467 yasha< >,
and I have shewed <8085 shama< >, when [there was] no <0369

my witnesses <5707 <ed >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, that I [am] God <0410 >el >.
13 Yea <1571 gam >, before the day <3117 yowm > [was] I [am] he;
and [there is] none <0369 >ayin > that can deliver <5337 natsal

<4310 miy > shall let <7725 shuwb > it?
14. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; For your sake <4616 ma<an > I have sent
<7971 shalach > to Babylon <0894 Babel >, and have brought <3381
yarad > down <3381 yarad > all <3605 kol > their nobles <1281
bariyach >, and the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, whose cry <7440
rinnah > [is] in the ships <0591 >oniyah >.
15 I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, your Holy <6918 qadowsh >
One, the creator <1254 bara> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, your
King <4428 melek >.
16 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<3220 yam >, and a path <5410 nathiyb > in the mighty <5794 <az

17 Which bringeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > the
chariot <7393 rekeb > and horse <5483 cuwc >, the army <2428
chayil > and the power <5808 <izzuwz >; they shall lie <7901
shakab > down <3381 yarad > together <3162 yachad >, they shall
not rise <6965 quwm >: they are extinct <1846 da<ak >, they are
quenched <3518 kabah > as tow <6594 pishtah >.
18 Remember <2142 zakar > ye not the former <7223 ri>shown >
things, neither <0408 >al > consider <0995 biyn > the things of
old <6931 qadmowniy >.
19 Behold <2005 hen >, I will do <6213 <asah > a new <2319
chadash > thing; now <6258 <attah > it shall spring <6779
tsamach > forth <6779 tsamach >; shall ye not know <3045 yada< >
it? I will even <0637 >aph > make <7760 suwm > a way <1870 derek

in the desert <3452 y@shiymown >.
20 The beast <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > shall
honour <3513 kabad > me, the dragons <8577 tanniyn > and the
owls: because <3588 kiy > I give <5414 nathan > waters <4325
mayim > in the wilderness <4057 midbar >, [and] rivers <5103
n@har > in the desert <3452 y@shiymown >, to give drink <8248
shaqah > to my people <5971 <am >, my chosen <0972 bachiyr >.
21 This <2098 zuw > people <5971 <am > have I formed <3335
yatsar > for myself; they shall shew <5608 caphar > forth my
praise <8416 t@hillah >.
22. But thou hast not called <7121 qara> > upon me, O Jacob
<3290 Ya<aqob >; but thou hast been weary <3021 yaga< > of me, O
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
23 Thou hast not brought <0935 bow> > me the small cattle <7716
seh > of thy burnt <5930 <olah > offerings; neither <3808 lo> >
hast thou honoured <3513 kabad > me with thy sacrifices <2077

offering <4503 minchah >, nor <3808 lo> > wearied <3021 yaga< >
thee with incense <3828 l@bownah >.
24 Thou hast bought <7069 qanah > me no <3808 lo> > sweet cane
<7070 qaneh > with money <3701 keceph >, neither <3808 lo> >
hast thou filled <7301 ravah > me with the fat <2459 cheleb > of
thy sacrifices <2077 zebach >: but thou hast made me to serve
<5647 <abad > with thy sins <2403 chatta>ah >, thou hast wearied
<3021 yaga< > me with thine iniquities <5771 <avon >.
25 I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth <4229 machah > out thy
transgressions <6588 pesha< > for mine own sake <4616 ma<an >,
and will not remember <2142 zakar > thy sins <2403 chatta>ah >.
26 Put me in remembrance <2142 zakar >: let us plead <8199

that thou mayest be justified <6663 tsadaq >.
27 Thy first <7223 ri>shown > father <1> hath sinned <2398

pasha< > against me.
28 Therefore I have profaned <2490 chalal > the princes <8269

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to reproaches <1421 gidduwph >.
Isaiah 44
1. Yet now <6258 <attah > hear <8085 shama< >, O Jacob <3290
Ya<aqob > my servant <5650 <ebed >; and Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
whom I have chosen <0977 bachar >:
2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
that made <6213 <asah > thee, and formed <3335 yatsar > thee
from the womb <0990 beten >, [which] will help <5826 <azar >
thee; Fear <3372 yare> > not, O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, my
servant <5650 <ebed >; and thou, Jesurun <3484 Y@shuruwn >, whom
I have chosen <0977 bachar >.
3 For I will pour <3332 yatsaq > water <4325 mayim > upon him
that is thirsty <6771 tsame> >, and floods <5140 nazal > upon
the dry <3004 yabbashah > ground: I will pour <3332 yatsaq > my
spirit <7307 ruwach > upon thy seed <2233 zera< >, and my
blessing <1293 B@rakah > upon thine offspring <6631 tse>etsa> >:
4 And they shall spring <6779 tsamach > up [as] among <0996
beyn > the grass <2682 chatsiyr >, as willows <6155 <arab > by
the water <4325 mayim > courses <2988 yabal >.
5 One shall say <0559 >amar >, I [am] the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah

the name <8034 shem > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >; and another

[himself] by the name <8034 shem > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
6 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
the King <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and his
redeemer <1350 ga>al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635

7 And who <4310 miy >, as I, shall call <7121 qara> >, and
shall declare <5046 nagad > it, and set it in order <6186 <arak

8 Fear <6342 pachad > ye not, neither <0408 >al > be afraid
<7297 rahah >: have not I told <8085 shama< > thee from that

beside <1107 bil<adey > me? yea, [there is] no <0369 >ayin > God

9. They that make <3335 yatsar > a graven <6459 pecel > image
[are] all <3605 kol > of them vanity <8414 tohuw >; and their
delectable <2530 chamad > things shall not profit <3276 ya<al >;

10 Who <4310 miy > hath formed <3335 yatsar > a god <0410 >el >,
or molten <5258 nacak > a graven <6459 pecel > image [that] is
profitable <3276 ya<al > for nothing <1115 biltiy >?
11 Behold <2005 hen >, all <3605 kol > his fellows <2270 chaber

ashamed <0954 buwsh > together <3162 yachad >.
12 The smith with the tongs <4621 ma<atsad > both worketh <6466

13 The carpenter <2796 charash > stretcheth <5186 natah > out

<4741 maqtsu<ah >, and he marketh <8388 ta>ar > it out with the
compass <4230 m@chuwgah >, and maketh <6213 <asah > it after the
figure <8403 tabniyth > of a man <0376 >iysh >, according to the
beauty <8597 tiph>arah > of a man <0120 >adam >; that it may
remain <3427 yashab > in the house <1004 bayith >.
14 He heweth <3772 karath > him down cedars <0730 >erez >, and
taketh <3947 laqach > the cypress <8645 tirzah > and the oak
<0437 >allown >, which he strengtheneth <0553 >amats > for
himself among the trees <6086 <ets > of the forest <3293 ya<ar >:
he planteth <5192 netel > an ash <0766 >oren >, and the rain
<1653 geshem > doth nourish <1431 gadal > [it].
15 Then shall it be for a man <0120 >adam > to burn <1197 ba<ar

worshippeth <7812 shachah > [it]; he maketh <6213 <asah > it a
graven <6459 pecel > image, and falleth <5456 cagad > down <5456
cagad > thereto.
16 He burneth <8313 saraph > part <2677 chetsiy > thereof in
the fire <0784 >esh >; with part <2677 chetsiy > thereof he
eateth <0398 >akal > flesh <1320 basar >; he roasteth <0740

yea <0637 >aph >, he warmeth <2552 chamam > [himself], and saith

17 And the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > thereof he maketh <6213

he falleth <5456 cagad > down <5456 cagad > unto it, and
worshippeth <7812 shachah > [it], and prayeth <6419 palal > unto
it, and saith <0559 >amar >, Deliver <5337 natsal > me; for thou
[art] my god <0410 >el >.
18 They have not known <3045 yada< > nor understood <0995 biyn

20 He feedeth <7462 ra<ah > on ashes <0665 >epher >: a deceived

21. Remember <2142 zakar > these <0428 >el-leh >, O Jacob <3290
Ya<aqob > and Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; for thou [art] my servant
<5650 <ebed >: I have formed <3335 yatsar > thee; thou [art] my

come <0935 bow> > to thee in a moment <7281 rega< > in one <0259

thee in their perfection <8537 tom > for the multitude <7230 rob

m@<od > abundance <6109 <otsmah > of thine enchantments <2267
cheber >.
10 For thou hast trusted <0982 batach > in thy wickedness <7451
ra< >: thou hast said <0559 >amar >, None <0369 >ayin > seeth
<7200 ra>ah > me. Thy wisdom <2451 chokmah > and thy knowledge
<1847 da<ath >, it hath perverted <7725 shuwb > thee; and thou
hast said <0559 >amar > in thine heart <3820 leb >, I [am], and
none <0657 >ephec > else <5750 <owd > beside <0657 >ephec > me.
11 Therefore shall evil <7451 ra< > come <0935 bow> > upon thee;
thou shalt not know <3045 yada< > from whence <0370 >aiyn > it
riseth <7837 shachar >: and mischief <1943 hovah > shall fall
<5307 naphal > upon thee; thou shalt not be able <3201 yakol >
to put <3722 kaphar > it off: and desolation <7722 show> > shall
come <0935 bow> > upon thee suddenly <6597 pith>owm >, [which]
thou shalt not know <3045 yada< >.
12 Stand <5975 <amad > now <4994 na> > with thine enchantments
<2267 cheber >, and with the multitude <7230 rob > of thy
sorceries <3785 kesheph >, wherein <0834 >aher > thou hast
laboured <3021 yaga< > from thy youth <5271 na<uwr >; if <0194

13 Thou art wearied <3811 la>ah > in the multitude <7230 rob >
of thy counsels <6098 <etsah >. Let now <4994 na> > the
astrologers <1895 habar >, the stargazers, the monthly <2320

and save <3467 yasha< > thee from [these things] that shall come
<0935 bow> > upon thee.
14 Behold <2009 hinneh >, they shall be as stubble <7179 qash >;
the fire <0784 >esh > shall burn <8313 saraph > them; they
shall not deliver <5337 natsal > themselves <5315 nephesh > from
the power <3027 yad > of the flame <3852 lehabah >: [there

[nor] fire <0217 >uwr > to sit <3427 yashab > before <5048 neged

15 Thus <3651 ken > shall they be unto thee with whom <0834

<5503 cachar >, from thy youth <5271 na<uwr >: they shall wander
<8582 ta<ah > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his
quarter <5676 <eber >; none <0369 >ayin > shall save <3467

Isaiah 48
1. Hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2063 zo>th >, O house <1004
bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, which are called <7121 qara>
> by the name <8034 shem > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and are
come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the waters <4325
mayim > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which swear <7650 shaba< > by
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and make
mention <2142 zakar > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, [but] not in truth <0571 >emeth >, nor <3808
lo> > in righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >.
2 For they call <7121 qara> > themselves of the holy <6944
qodesh > city <5892 <iyr >, and stay <5564 camak > themselves
upon the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; The
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name <8034
shem >.
3 I have declared <5046 nagad > the former <7223 ri>shown >
things from the beginning <0227 >az >; and they went <3318
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of my mouth <6310 peh >, and I
shewed <8085 shama< > them; I did <6213 <asah > [them] suddenly
<6597 pith>owm >, and they came <0935 bow> > to pass.
4 Because I knew <1847 da<ath > that thou [art] obstinate <7186
qasheh >, and thy neck <6203 <oreph > [is] an iron <1270 barzel
> sinew <1517 giyd >, and thy brow <4696 metsach > brass <5154
n@chuwshah >;
5 I have even from the beginning <0227 >az > declared <5046
nagad > [it] to thee; before <2962 terem > it came <0935 bow> >
to pass I shewed <8085 shama< > [it] thee: lest <6435 pen > thou
shouldest say <0559 >amar >, Mine idol <6090 <otseb > hath done
<6213 <asah > them, and my graven <6459 pecel > image, and my
molten <5262 necek > image, hath commanded <6680 tsavah > them.
6 Thou hast heard <8085 shama< >, see <2372 chazah > all <3605
kol > this; and will not ye declare <5046 nagad > [it]? I have
shewed <8085 shama< > thee new <2319 chadash > things from this
time <6258 <attah >, even hidden <5341 natsar > things, and thou
didst not know <3045 yada< > them.
7 They are created <1254 bara> > now <6258 <attah >, and not
from the beginning <0227 >az >; even before <6440 paniym > the
day <3117 yowm > when thou heardest <8085 shama< > them not;
lest <6435 pen > thou shouldest say <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009
hinneh >, I knew <3045 yada< > them.
8 Yea <1571 gam >, thou heardest <8085 shama< > not; yea <1571
gam >, thou knewest <3045 yada< > not; yea <1571 gam >, from
that time <0227 >az > [that] thine ear <0241 >ozen > was not
opened <6605 pathach >: for I knew <3045 yada< > that thou
wouldest deal very <0898 bagad > treacherously <0898 bagad >,
and wast called <7121 qara> > a transgressor <6586 pasha< > from
the womb <0990 beten >.
9. For my name's <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > will I defer
<0748 >arak > mine anger <0639 >aph >, and for my praise <8416
t@hillah > will I refrain <2413 chatam > for thee, that I cut
<3772 karath > thee not off.
10 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I have refined <6884 tsaraph > thee,
but not with silver <3701 keceph >; I have chosen <0977 bachar >
thee in the furnace <3564 kuwr > of affliction <6040 <oniy >.
11 For mine own sake <4616 ma<an >, [even] for mine own sake
<4616 ma<an >, will I do <6213 <asah > [it]: for how <0349 >eyk

give <5414 nathan > my glory <3519 kabowd > unto another <0312

12 Hearken <8085 shama< > unto me, O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > and
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, my called <7121 qara> >; I [am] he; I
[am] the first <7223 ri>shown >, I also <0637 >aph > [am] the
last <0314 >acharown >.
13 Mine hand <3027 yad > also <0637 >aph > hath laid the
foundation <3245 yacad > of the earth <0776 >erets >, and my
right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > hath spanned <2946
taphach > the heavens <8064 shamayim >: [when] I call <7121
qara> > unto them, they stand <5975 <amad > up together <3162
yachad >.
14 All <3605 kol > ye, assemble <6908 qabats > yourselves, and
hear <8085 shama< >; which <4310 miy > among them hath declared
<5046 nagad > these <0428 >el-leh > [things]? The LORD <3068
Y@hovah > hath loved <0157 >ahab > him: he will do <6213 <asah >
his pleasure <2656 chephets > on Babylon <0894 Babel >, and his
arm <2220 z@rowa< > [shall be on] the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >.
15 I, [even] I, have spoken <1696 dabar >; yea <0637 >aph >, I
have called <7121 qara> > him: I have brought <0935 bow> > him,
and he shall make his way <1870 derek > prosperous <6743 tsalach

16. Come <7126 qarab > ye near <7126 qarab > unto me, hear
<8085 shama< > ye this <2063 zo>th >; I have not spoken <1696
dabar > in secret <5643 cether > from the beginning <7218 ro>sh

[am] I: and now <6258 <attah > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD
<3069 Y@hovih >, and his Spirit <7307 ruwach >, hath sent <7971
shalach > me.
17 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God
<0430 >elohiym > which teacheth <3925 lamad > thee to profit
<3276 ya<al >, which leadeth <1869 darak > thee by the way <1870
derek > [that] thou shouldest go <3212 yalak >.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened <7181 qashab > to my
commandments <4687 mitsvah >! then had thy peace <7965 shalowm >
been <1961 hayah > as a river <5104 nahar >, and thy
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > as the waves <1530 gal > of the
sea <3220 yam >:
19 Thy seed <2233 zera< > also had been <1961 hayah > as the
sand <2344 chowl >, and the offspring <6631 tse>etsa> > of thy
bowels <4578 me<ah > like the gravel <4579 me<ah > thereof; his
name <8034 shem > should not have been cut <3772 karath > off
nor <3808 lo> > destroyed <8045 shamad > from before <6440
paniym > me.
20 Go <3318 yatsa> > ye forth <3318 yatsa> > of Babylon <0894
Babel >, flee <1272 barach > ye from the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy

<5046 nagad > ye, tell <8085 shama< > this <2063 zo>th >, utter
<3318 yatsa> > it [even] to the end <7097 qatseh > of the earth
<0776 >erets >; say <0559 >amar > ye, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
hath redeemed <1350 ga>al > his servant <5650 <ebed > Jacob
<3290 Ya<aqob >.
21 And they thirsted <6770 tsame> > not [when] he led <3212
yalak > them through the deserts <2723 chorbah >: he caused the
waters <4325 mayim > to flow <5140 nazal > out of the rock <6697
tsuwr > for them: he clave <1234 baqa< > the rock <6697 tsuwr >
also, and the waters <4325 mayim > gushed <2100 zuwb > out.
22 [There is] no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm >, saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, unto the wicked <7563
rasha< >.
Isaiah 49
1. Listen <8085 shama< >, O isles <0339 >iy >, unto me; and
hearken <7181 qashab >, ye people <3816 l@om >, from far <7350
rachowq >; The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > me
from the womb <0990 beten >; from the bowels <4578 me<ah > of my
mother <0517 >em > hath he made mention <2142 zakar > of my name
<8034 shem >.
2 And he hath made <7760 suwm > my mouth <6310 peh > like a
sharp <2299 chad > sword <2719 chereb >; in the shadow <6738
tsel > of his hand <3027 yad > hath he hid <2244> me, and made
<7760 suwm > me a polished <1305 barar > shaft <2671 chets >; in
his quiver <0827 >ashpah > hath he hid <5641 cathar > me;
3 And said <0559 >amar > unto me, Thou [art] my servant <5650
<ebed >, O Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, in whom <0834 >aher > I will
be glorified <6286 pa>ar >.
4 Then I said <0559 >amar >, I have laboured <3021 yaga< > in
vain <7385 riyq >, I have spent <3615 kalah > my strength <3581
koach > for nought <8414 tohuw >, and in vain <1892 hebel >:
[yet] surely <0403 >aken > my judgment <4941 mishpat > [is] with
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and my work <6468 p@<ullah > with my
God <0430 >elohiym >.
5 And now <6258 <attah >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > that formed <3335 yatsar > me from the womb <0990
beten > [to be] his servant <5650 <ebed >, to bring <7725 shuwb

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be not gathered <0622 >acaph >, yet
shall I be glorious <3513 kabad > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and my God <0430 >elohiym > shall be
my strength <5797 <oz >.
6 And he said <0559 >amar >, It is a light <7043 qalal > thing
that thou shouldest be my servant <5650 <ebed > to raise <6965
quwm > up the tribes <7626 shebet > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >,
and to restore <7725 shuwb > the preserved <5336 natsiyr > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: I will also give <5414 nathan > thee
for a light <0216 >owr > to the Gentiles <1471 gowy >, that thou
mayest be my salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > unto the end <7097
qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets >.
7. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

his Holy <6918 qadowsh > One, to him whom man <5315 nephesh >
despiseth <0960 bazoh >, to him whom the nation <1471 gowy >
abhorreth <8581 ta<ab >, to a servant <5650 <ebed > of rulers
<4910 mashal >, Kings <4428 melek > shall see <7200 ra>ah > and
arise <6965 quwm >, princes <8269 sar > also shall worship <7812

that is faithful <0539 >aman >, [and] the Holy <6918 qadowsh >
One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and he shall choose <0977 bachar

8 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
In an acceptable <7522 ratsown > time <6256 <eth > have I heard
<6030 <anah > thee, and in a day <3117 yowm > of salvation <3444
y@shuw<ah > have I helped <5826 <azar > thee: and I will
preserve <5341 natsar > thee, and give <5414 nathan > thee for a
covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the people <5971 <am >, to establish
<6965 quwm > the earth <0776 >erets >, to cause to inherit <5157
nachal > the desolate <8076 shamem > heritages <5159 nachalah >;
9 That thou mayest say <0559 >amar > to the prisoners <0631

[are] in darkness <2822 choshek >, Shew <1540 galah > yourselves.
They shall feed <7462 ra<ah > in the ways <1870 derek >, and
their pastures <4830 mir<iyth > [shall be] in all <3605 kol >
high <8203 Sh@phatyah > places.
10 They shall not hunger <7456 ra<eb > nor <3808 lo> > thirst
<6770 tsame> >; neither <3808 lo> > shall the heat <8273 sharab

for he that hath mercy <7355 racham > on them shall lead <5090
nahag > them, even by the springs <4002 mabbuwa< > of water
<4325 mayim > shall he guide <5095 nahal > them.
11 And I will make <7760 suwm > all <3605 kol > my mountains
<2022 har > a way <1870 derek >, and my highways <4546 m@cillah

12 Behold <2009 hinneh >, these <0428 >el-leh > shall come

these <0428 >el-leh > from the north <6828 tsaphown > and from
the west <3220 yam >; and these <0428 >el-leh > from the land
<0776 >erets > of Sinim <5515 Ciyniym >.
13. Sing <7442 ranan >, O heavens <8064 shamayim >; and be
joyful <1523 giyl >, O earth <0776 >erets >; and break <6476
patsach > forth into singing <7440 rinnah >, O mountains <2022

upon his afflicted <6041 <aniy >.
14 But Zion <6726 Tsiyown > said <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068
Y@hovah > hath forsaken <5800 <azab > me, and my Lord <0136
>Adonay > hath forgotten <7913 shakeach > me.
15 Can a woman <0802 >ishshah > forget <7911 shakach > her
sucking <5764 <uwl > child, that she should not have compassion
<7355 racham > on the son <1121 ben > of her womb <0990 beten >?
yea <1571 gam >, they may forget <7911 shakach >, yet will I not
forget <7911 shakach > thee.
16 Behold <2005 hen >, I have graven <2710 chaqaq > thee upon
the palms <3709 kaph > of [my] hands <3709 kaph >; thy walls
<2346 chowmah > [are] continually <8548 tamiyd > before <5048

17 Thy children <1121 ben > shall make haste <4116 mahar >; thy
destroyers <2040 harac > and they that made thee waste <2717

18. Lift <5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > round <5439

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou shalt surely <3588 kiy > clothe <3847

<5716 <adiy >, and bind <7194 qashar > them [on thee], as a

19 For thy waste <2723 chorbah > and thy desolate <8074 shamem

hariycuwth >, shall even <3588 kiy > now <6258 <attah > be too

20 The children <1121 ben > which thou shalt have, after thou

maqowm > [is] too strait <6862 tsar > for me: give <5066 nagash

21 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > in thine heart <3824 lebab

removing <5493 cuwr > to and fro? and who <4310 miy > hath

22 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay

and set <7311 ruwm > up my standard <5251 nec > to the people
<5971 <am >: and they shall bring <0935 bow> > thy sons <1121

<3802 katheph >.
23 And kings <4428 melek > shall be thy nursing <0539 >aman >
fathers, and their queens <8282 sarah > thy nursing <3243 yanaq

to thee with [their] face <0639 >aph > toward the earth <0776

thy feet <7272 regel >; and thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that I
[am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: for they shall not be ashamed
<0954 buwsh > that wait <6960 qavah > for me.
24. Shall the prey <4455 malqowach > be taken <3947 laqach >
from the mighty <1368 gibbowr >, or the lawful <6662 tsaddiyq >
captive <7628 sh@biy > delivered <4422 malat >?
25 But thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, Even <1571 gam > the captives <7628 sh@biy > of the
mighty <1368 gibbowr > shall be taken <3947 laqach > away, and
the prey <4455 malqowach > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts > shall

Isaiah 50
1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

2 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< >, when I came <0935 bow> >, [was

Is my hand <3027 yad > shortened <7114 qatsar > at all, that it

blackness <6940 qadruwth >, and I make <7760 suwm > sackcloth

4. The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath given

5 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath opened

Isaiah 51
1. Hearken <8085 shama< > to me, ye that follow <7291 radaph >
after <0310 >achar > righteousness <6664 tsedeq >, ye that seek
<1245 baqash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: look <5027 nabat > unto

2 Look <5027 nabat > unto Abraham <85> your father <1>, and
unto Sarah <8283 Sarah > [that] bare <2342 chuwl > you: for I
called <7121 qara> > him alone <0259 >echad >, and blessed <1288

3 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall comfort <5162 nacham >
Zion <6726 Tsiyown >: he will comfort <5162 nacham > all <3605

4. Hearken <7181 qashab > unto me, my people <5971 <am >; and
give ear <0238 >azan > unto me, O my nation <3816 l@om >: for a
law <8451 towrah > shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > from me, and I

5 My righteousness <6664 tsedeq > [is] near <7138 qarowb >; my

7 Hearken <8085 shama< > unto me, ye that know <3045 yada< >
righteousness <6664 tsedeq >, the people <5971 <am > in whose

neither <0408 >al > be ye afraid <2865 chathath > of their
revilings <1421 gidduwph >.
8 For the moth <6211 <ash > shall eat <0398 >akal > them up
like a garment <0899 beged >, and the worm <5580 cac > shall eat
<0398 >akal > them like wool <6785 tsemer >: but my

and my salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > from generation <1755 dowr >
to generation <1755 dowr >.
9. Awake <5782 <uwr >, awake <5782 <uwr >, put <3847 labash >
on strength <5797 <oz >, O arm <2220 z@rowa< > of the LORD <3068

10 [Art] thou not it which hath dried <2717 charab > the sea

deep <8415 t@howm >; that hath made <7760 suwm > the depths

the ransomed <1350 ga>al > to pass <5674 <abar > over <5674

11 Therefore the redeemed <6299 padah > of the LORD <3068

singing <7440 rinnah > unto Zion <6726 Tsiyown >; and

gladness <8057 simchah > and joy <8057 simchah >; [and] sorrow

12 I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth <5162 nacham > you: who

and of the son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > [which] shall be

13 And forgettest <7911 shakach > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy
maker <6213 <asah >, that hath stretched <5186 natah > forth the
heavens <8064 shamayim >, and laid the foundations <3245 yacad >

continually <8548 tamiyd > every <3605 kol > day <3117 yowm >
because <6440 paniym > of the fury <2534 chemah > of the

destroy <7843 shachath >? and where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the fury
<2534 chemah > of the oppressor <6693 tsuwq >?
14 The captive <6808 tsa<ah > exile <6808 tsa<ah > hasteneth
<4116 mahar > that he may be loosed <6605 pathach >, and that he
should not die <4191 muwth > in the pit <7845 shachath >, nor

15 But I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >,
that divided <7280 raga< > the sea <3220 yam >, whose waves
<1530 gal > roared <1993 hamah >: The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name <8034 shem >.
16 And I have put <7760 suwm > my words <1697 dabar > in thy
mouth <6310 peh >, and I have covered <3680 kacah > thee in the
shadow <6738 tsel > of mine hand <3027 yad >, that I may plant

foundations <3245 yacad > of the earth <0776 >erets >, and say
<0559 >amar > unto Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, Thou [art] my people

17. Awake <5782 <uwr >, awake <5782 <uwr >, stand <6965 quwm >
up, O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, which <0834 >aher > hast
drunk <8354 shathah > at the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068

cup <3563 kowc > of trembling <8653 tar<elah >, [and] wrung

18 [There is] none <0369 >ayin > to guide <5095 nahal > her

19 These <2007 hennah > two <8147 sh@nayim > [things] are come

thee?
20 Thy sons <1121 ben > have fainted <5968 <alaph >, they lie

21 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> >
this <2063 zo>th >, thou afflicted <6041 <aniy >, and drunken

22 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > thy Lord <0113 >adown >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and thy God <0430 >elohiym > [that]
pleadeth <7378 riyb > the cause of his people <5971 <am >,
Behold <2009 hinneh >, I have taken <3947 laqach > out of thine

23 But I will put <7760 suwm > it into the hand <3027 yad > of
them that afflict <3013 yagah > thee; which <0834 >aher > have
said <0559 >amar > to thy soul <5315 nephesh >, Bow <7812

Isaiah 52
1. Awake <5782 <uwr >, awake <5782 <uwr >; put <3847 labash >

4 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136

6 Therefore <3651 ken > my people <5971 <am > shall know <3045

redeemed <1350 ga>al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
10 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath made bare <2834 chasaph > his

13. Behold <2009 hinneh >, my servant <5650 <ebed > shall deal
prudently <7919 sakal >, he shall be exalted <7311 ruwm > and
extolled <5375 nasa> >, and be very <3966 m@<od > high <1361

they see <7200 ra>ah >; and [that] which <0834 >aher > they had
not heard <8085 shama< > shall they consider <0995 biyn >.
Isaiah 53
1. Who <4310 miy > hath believed <0539 >aman > our report <8052
sh@muw<ah >? and to whom <4310 miy > is the arm <2220 z@rowa< >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > revealed <1540 galah >?
2 For he shall grow <5927 <alah > up before <6440 paniym > him
as a tender <3126 yowneq > plant, and as a root <8328 sheresh >
out of a dry <6723 tsiyah > ground <0776 >erets >: he hath no
<3808 lo> > form <8389 to>ar > nor <3808 lo> > comeliness <1926
hadar >; and when we shall see <7200 ra>ah > him, [there is] no
<3808 lo> > beauty <4758 mar>eh > that we should desire <2530
chamad > him.
3 He is despised <0959 bazah > and rejected <2310 chadel > of
men <0376 >iysh >; a man <0376 >iysh > of sorrows <4341 mak>ob >,
and acquainted <3045 yada< > with grief <2483 choliy >: and we
hid <5641 cathar > as it were [our] faces <6440 paniym > from
him; he was despised <0959 bazah >, and we esteemed him not.
4. Surely <0403 >aken > he hath borne <5375 nasa> > our griefs
<2483 choliy >, and carried <5445 cabal > our sorrows <4341
mak>ob >: yet we did esteem <2803 chashab > him stricken <5060
naga< >, smitten <5221 nakah > of God <0430 >elohiym >, and
afflicted <6031 <anah >.
5 But he [was] wounded <2490 chalal > for our transgressions
<6588 pesha< >, [he was] bruised <1792 daka> > for our
iniquities <5771 <avon >: the chastisement <4148 muwcar > of our
peace <7965 shalowm > [was] upon him; and with his stripes <2250
chabbuwrah > we are healed <7495 rapha> >.
6 All <3605 kol > we like sheep <6629 tso>n > have gone <8582
ta<ah > astray <8582 ta<ah >; we have turned <6437 panah > every
<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his own way <1870 derek >;
and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath laid <6293 paga< > on him the
iniquity <5771 <avon > of us all <3605 kol >.
7 He was oppressed <5065 nagas >, and he was afflicted <6031
<anah >, yet he opened <6605 pathach > not his mouth <6310 peh >:
he is brought <2986 yabal > as a lamb <7716 seh > to the
slaughter <2875 Tebach >, and as a sheep <7353 rachel > before
<6440 paniym > her shearers <1494 gazaz > is dumb <0481 >alam >,
so he openeth <6605 pathach > not his mouth <6310 peh >.
8 He was taken <3947 laqach > from prison <6115 <otser > and
from judgment <4941 mishpat >: and who <4310 miy > shall declare
<7878 siyach > his generation <1755 dowr >? for he was cut <1504
gazar > off out of the land <0776 >erets > of the living <2416
chay >: for the transgression <6588 pesha< > of my people <5971
<am > was he stricken <5061 nega< >.
9 And he made <5414 nathan > his grave <6913 qeber > with the
wicked <7563 rasha< >, and with the rich <6223 <ashiyr > in his
death <4194 maveth >; because <5921 <al > he had done <6213
<asah > no <3808 lo> > violence <2555 chamac >, neither <3808
lo> > [was any] deceit <4820 mirmah > in his mouth <6310 peh >.
10. Yet it pleased <2654 chaphets > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to
bruise <1792 daka> > him; he hath put [him] to grief <2470
chalah >: when <0518 >im > thou shalt make <7760 suwm > his soul
<5315 nephesh > an offering for sin <0817 >asham >, he shall see
<7200 ra>ah > [his] seed <2233 zera< >, he shall prolong <0748
>arak > [his] days <3117 yowm >, and the pleasure <2656 chephets
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall prosper <6743 tsalach > in
his hand <3027 yad >.
11 He shall see <7200 ra>ah > of the travail <5999 <amal > of
his soul <5315 nephesh >, [and] shall be satisfied <7646 saba< >:
by his knowledge <1847 da<ath > shall my righteous <6662
tsaddiyq > servant <5650 <ebed > justify <6663 tsadaq > many
<7227 rab >; for he shall bear <5445 cabal > their iniquities
<5771 <avon >.
12 Therefore <3651 ken > will I divide <5312 n@phaq > him [a
portion] with the great <7227 rab >, and he shall divide <5312
n@phaq > the spoil <7998 shalal > with the strong <6099 <atsuwm

nephesh > unto death <4194 maveth >: and he was numbered <4487
manah > with the transgressors <6586 pasha< >; and he bare <5375
nasa> > the sin <2399 chet> > of many <7227 rab >, and made
intercession <6293 paga< > for the transgressors <6586 pasha< >.
Isaiah 54
1. Sing <7442 ranan >, O barren <6135 <aqar >, thou [that]
didst not bear <5375 nasa> >; break <6476 patsach > forth into
singing <7440 rinnah >, and cry <6670 tsahal > aloud <6670
tsahal >, thou [that] didst not travail <2342 chuwl > with child:
for more <7227 rab > [are] the children <1121 ben > of the
desolate <8074 shamem > than the children <1121 ben > of the
married <1166 ba<al > wife, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.
2 Enlarge <7337 rachab > the place <4725 maqowm > of thy tent
<0168 >ohel >, and let them stretch <5186 natah > forth the
curtains <3407 y@riy<ah > of thine habitations <4908 mishkan >:
spare <2820 chasak > not, lengthen <0748 >arak > thy cords <4340
meythar >, and strengthen <2388 chazaq > thy stakes <3489 yathed

3 For thou shalt break <6555 parats > forth on the right <3225
yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > and on the left <8040 s@mo>wl >;
and thy seed <2233 zera< > shall inherit <3423 yarash > the
Gentiles <1471 gowy >, and make the desolate <8077 sh@mamah >
cities <5892 <iyr > to be inhabited <3427 yashab >.
4 Fear <3372 yare> > not; for thou shalt not be ashamed <0954
buwsh >: neither <0408 >al > be thou confounded <3637 kalam >;
for thou shalt not be put to shame <2659 chapher >: for thou
shalt forget <7911 shakach > the shame <1322 bosheth > of thy
youth <5934 <aluwm >, and shalt not remember <2142 zakar > the
reproach <2781 cherpah > of thy widowhood <0491 >almanuwth > any
more <5750 <owd >.
5 For thy Maker <6213 <asah > [is] thine husband <1167 ba<al >;
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name
<8034 shem >; and thy Redeemer <1350 ga>al > the Holy <6918
qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; The God <0430 >elohiym

called <7121 qara> >.
6. For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > thee
as a woman <0802 >ishshah > forsaken <5800 <azab > and grieved
<6087 <atsab > in spirit <7307 ruwach >, and a wife <0802

refused <3988 ma>ac >, saith <0559 >amar > thy God <0430

7 For a small <6996 qatan > moment <7281 rega< > have I
forsaken <5800 <azab > thee; but with great <1419 gadowl >
mercies <7356 racham > will I gather <6908 qabats > thee.
8 In a little <8241 shetseph > wrath <7110 qetseph > I hid
<5641 cathar > my face <6440 paniym > from thee for a moment
<7281 rega< >; but with everlasting <5769 <owlam > kindness
<2617 checed > will I have mercy <7355 racham > on thee, saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy Redeemer <1350 ga>al

9 For this <2063 zo>th > [is as] the waters <4325 mayim > of
Noah <5146 Noach > unto me: for [as] I have sworn <7650 shaba< >
that the waters <4325 mayim > of Noah <5146 Noach > should no
more <5750 <owd > go <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the earth
<0776 >erets >; so <3651 ken > have I sworn <7650 shaba< > that
I would not be wroth <7107 qatsaph > with thee, nor rebuke <1605
ga<ar > thee.
10 For the mountains <2022 har > shall depart <4185 muwsh >,
and the hills <1389 gib<ah > be removed <4131 mowt >; but my
kindness <2617 checed > shall not depart <4185 muwsh > from thee,
neither <3808 lo> > shall the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of my
peace <7965 shalowm > be removed <4131 mowt >, saith <0559 >amar

thee.
11. O thou afflicted <6041 <aniy >, tossed with tempest <5590
ca<ar >, [and] not comforted <5162 nacham >, behold <2009 hinneh

12 And I will make <7760 suwm > thy windows <8121 shemesh > of
agates <3539 kadkod >, and thy gates <8179 sha<ar > of
carbuncles <68>, and all <3605 kol > thy borders <1366 g@buwl >
of pleasant <2656 chephets > stones <68>.
13 And all <3605 kol > thy children <1121 ben > [shall be]
taught <3928 limmuwd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and great
<7227 rab > [shall be] the peace <7965 shalowm > of thy children
<1121 ben >.
14 In righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > shalt thou be established
<3559 kuwn >: thou shalt be far <7368 rachaq > from oppression
<6233 <osheq >; for thou shalt not fear <3372 yare> >: and from
terror <4288 m@chittah >; for it shall not come <7126 qarab >
near <7126 qarab > thee.
15 Behold <2005 hen >, they shall surely gather <1481 guwr >
together, [but] not by me: whosoever <4310 miy > shall gather
<1481 guwr > together against <5921 <al > thee shall fall <5307
naphal > for thy sake <4616 ma<an >.
16 Behold <2005 hen >, I have created <1254 bara> > the smith
<2796 charash > that bloweth <5301 naphach > the coals <6352
pecham > in the fire <0784 >esh >, and that bringeth <3318

his work <4639 ma<aseh >; and I have created <1254 bara> > the
waster <7843 shachath > to destroy <2254 chabal >.
17 No <3808 lo> > weapon <3627 k@liy > that is formed <3335
yatsar > against <5921 <al > thee shall prosper <6743 tsalach >;
and every <3605 kol > tongue <3956 lashown > [that] shall rise
<6965 quwm > against thee in judgment <4941 mishpat > thou shalt
condemn <7561 rasha< >. This <2063 zo>th > [is] the heritage
<5159 nachalah > of the servants <5650 <ebed > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, and their righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > [is] of me,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
Isaiah 55
1. Ho <1945 howy >, every <3605 kol > one that thirsteth <6771

2 Wherefore <4100 mah > do ye spend <8254 shaqal > money <3701

3 Incline <5186 natah > your ear <0241 >ozen >, and come <3212

with you, [even] the sure <0539 >aman > mercies <2617 checed >
of David <1732 David >.
4 Behold <2005 hen >, I have given <5414 nathan > him [for] a
witness <5707 <ed > to the people <3816 l@om >, a leader <5057
nagiyd > and commander <6680 tsavah > to the people <3816 l@om >.
5 Behold <2005 hen >, thou shalt call <7121 qara> > a nation

<6286 pa>ar > thee.
6. Seek <1875 darash > ye the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > while he may
be found <4672 matsa> >, call <7121 qara> > ye upon him while he
is near <7138 qarowb >:
7 Let the wicked <7563 rasha< > forsake <5800 <azab > his way

will abundantly <7235 rabah > pardon <5545 calach >.
8 For my thoughts <4284 machashabah > [are] not your thoughts
<4284 machashabah >, neither <3808 lo> > [are] your ways <1870

9 For [as] the heavens <8064 shamayim > are higher <1361 gabahh

<1870 derek > higher <1361 gabahh > than your ways <1870 derek >,
and my thoughts <4284 machashabah > than your thoughts <4284

10 For as the rain <1653 geshem > cometh <3381 yarad > down
<3381 yarad >, and the snow <7950 sheleg > from heaven <8064
shamayim >, and returneth <7725 shuwb > not thither <8033 sham >,

11 So <3651 ken > shall my word <1697 dabar > be that goeth

it shall not return <7725 shuwb > unto me void <7387 reyqam >,

[in the thing] whereto <0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach > it.
12 For ye shall go <3318 yatsa> > out with joy <8057 simchah >,
and be led <2986 yabal > forth <2986 yabal > with peace <7965
shalowm >: the mountains <2022 har > and the hills <1389 gib<ah

[their] hands <3709 kaph >.
13 Instead <8478 tachath > of the thorn <5285 na<atsuwts >

instead <8478 tachath > of the brier <5636 carpad > shall come

everlasting <5769 <owlam > sign <0226 >owth > [that] shall not
be cut <3772 karath > off.
Isaiah 56

2 Blessed <0835 >esher > [is] the man <0582 >enowsh > [that]

3. Neither <0408 >al > let the son <1121 ben > of the stranger

Isaiah 57
1. The righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > perisheth <6>, and no <0369

<3820 leb >: and merciful <2617 checed > men <0582 >enowsh >

2 He shall enter <0935 bow> > into peace <7965 shalowm >: they
shall rest <5117 nuwach > in their beds <4904 mishkab >, [each
one] walking <1980 halak > [in] his uprightness <5228 nakoach >.
3. But draw near <7126 qarab > hither, ye sons <1121 ben > of
the sorceress <6049 <anan >, the seed <2233 zera< > of the
adulterer <5003 na>aph > and the whore <2181 zanah >.
4 Against <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > do ye sport <6026 <anag

wide <7337 rachab > mouth <6310 peh >, [and] draw <0748 >arak >
out the tongue <3956 lashown >? [are] ye not children <3206
yeled > of transgression <6588 pesha< >, a seed <2233 zera< > of
falsehood <8267 sheqer >,
5 Enflaming <2552 chamam > yourselves with idols <0410 >el >
under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan >
tree <6086 <ets >, slaying <7819 shachat > the children <3206
yeled > in the valleys <5158 nachal > under <8478 tachath > the
clifts <5585 ca<iyph > of the rocks <5553 cela< >?
6 Among the smooth <2511 challaq > [stones] of the stream <5158
nachal > [is] thy portion <2506 cheleq >; they, they [are] thy
lot <1486 gowral >: even <1571 gam > to them hast thou poured
<8210 shaphak > a drink <5262 necek > offering, thou hast
offered <5927 <alah > a meat offering <4503 minchah >. Should I
receive <5162 nacham > comfort <5162 nacham > in these <0428 >el-

7 Upon a lofty <1364 gaboahh > and high <5375 nasa> > mountain
<2022 har > hast thou set <7760 suwm > thy bed <4904 mishkab >:
even <1571 gam > thither <8033 sham > wentest <5927 <alah > thou
up to offer <2076 zabach > sacrifice <2077 zebach >.
8 Behind <0310 >achar > the doors <1817 deleth > also and the
posts <4201 m@zuwzah > hast thou set <7760 suwm > up thy
remembrance <2146 zikrown >: for thou hast discovered <1540
galah > [thyself to another] than me, and art gone <5927 <alah >
up; thou hast enlarged <7337 rachab > thy bed <4904 mishkab >,
and made <3772 karath > thee [a covenant] with them; thou
lovedst <0157 >ahab > their bed <4904 mishkab > where <3027 yad

9 And thou wentest <7788 shuwr > to the king <4428 melek > with
ointment <8081 shemen >, and didst increase <7235 rabah > thy
perfumes <7547 raqquach >, and didst send <7971 shalach > thy
messengers <6735 tsiyr > far <7350 rachowq > off, and didst
debase <8213 shaphel > [thyself even] unto hell <7585 sh@>owl >.
10 Thou art wearied <3021 yaga< > in the greatness <7230 rob >
of thy way <1870 derek >; [yet] saidst <0559 >amar > thou not,
There is no hope <2976 ya>ash >: thou hast found <4672 matsa> >
the life <2416 chay > of thine hand <3027 yad >; therefore thou
wast not grieved <2470 chalah >.
11 And of whom <4310 miy > hast thou been afraid <1672 da>ag >
or feared <3372 yare> >, that thou hast lied <3576 kazab >, and
hast not remembered <2142 zakar > me, nor <3808 lo> > laid <7760

and thou fearest <3372 yare> > me not?
12 I will declare <5046 nagad > thy righteousness <6666
ts@daqah >, and thy works <4639 ma<aseh >; for they shall not
profit <3276 ya<al > thee.
13. When thou criest <2199 za<aq >, let thy companies deliver
<5337 natsal > thee; but the wind <7307 ruwach > shall carry
<5375 nasa> > them all <3605 kol > away; vanity <1892 hebel >
shall take <3947 laqach > [them]: but he that putteth his trust
<2620 chacah > in me shall possess <5157 nachal > the land <0776

14 And shall say <0559 >amar >, Cast <5549 calal > ye up, cast
<5549 calal > ye up, prepare <6437 panah > the way <1870 derek >,
take <7311 ruwm > up the stumblingblock <4383 mikshowl > out of
the way <1870 derek > of my people <5971 <am >.
15 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the high <7311 ruwm

eternity <5703 <ad >, whose name <8034 shem > [is] Holy <6918
qadowsh >; I dwell <7931 shakan > in the high <4791 marowm > and
holy <6918 qadowsh > [place], with him also [that is] of a
contrite <1793 dakka> > and humble <8217 shaphal > spirit <7307
ruwach >, to revive <2421 chayah > the spirit <7307 ruwach > of
the humble <8217 shaphal >, and to revive <2421 chayah > the
heart <3820 leb > of the contrite <1792 daka> > ones.
16 For I will not contend <7378 riyb > for ever <5769 <owlam >,
neither <3808 lo> > will I be always <5331 netsach > wroth <7107
qatsaph >: for the spirit <7307 ruwach > should fail <5848
<ataph > before <6440 paniym > me, and the souls <5397 n@shamah

17. For the iniquity <5771 <avon > of his covetousness <1215
betsa< > was I wroth <7107 qatsaph >, and smote <5221 nakah >
him: I hid <5641 cathar > me, and was wroth <7107 qatsaph >, and
he went <3212 yalak > on frowardly <7726 showbab > in the way
<1870 derek > of his heart <3820 leb >.
18 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > his ways <1870 derek >, and will
heal <7495 rapha> > him: I will lead <5148 nachah > him also,
and restore <7999 shalam > comforts <5150 nichuwm > unto him and
to his mourners <57>.
19 I create <1254 bara> > the fruit <5108 nowb > of the lips
<8193 saphah >; Peace <7965 shalowm >, peace <7965 shalowm > to
[him that is] far <7350 rachowq > off, and to [him that is] near
<7138 qarowb >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
and I will heal <7495 rapha> > him.
20 But the wicked <7563 rasha< > [are] like the troubled <1644
garash > sea <3220 yam >, when <3588 kiy > it cannot rest <8252
shaqat >, whose waters <4325 mayim > cast <1644 garash > up mire
<7516 rephesh > and dirt <2916 tiyt >.
21 [There is] no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm >, saith
<0559 >amar > my God <0430 >elohiym >, to the wicked <7563
rasha< >.
Isaiah 58
1. Cry <7121 qara> > aloud <1627 garown >, spare <2820 chasak >
not, lift <7311 ruwm > up thy voice <6963 qowl > like a trumpet

their transgression <6588 pesha< >, and the house <1004 bayith >
of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > their sins <2403 chatta>ah >.
2 Yet they seek <1875 darash > me daily <3117 yowm >, and
delight <2654 chaphets > to know <1847 da<ath > my ways <1870
derek >, as a nation <1471 gowy > that did <6213 <asah >
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, and forsook <5800 <azab > not
the ordinance <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym >:
they ask <7592 sha>al > of me the ordinances <4941 mishpat > of
justice <6664 tsedeq >; they take delight <2654 chaphets > in
approaching <7132 q@rabah > to God <0430 >elohiym >.
3. Wherefore <4100 mah > have we fasted <6684 tsuwm >, [say
they], and thou seest <7200 ra>ah > not? [wherefore] have we
afflicted <6031 <anah > our soul <5315 nephesh >, and thou
takest no <3808 lo> > knowledge <3045 yada< >? Behold <2005 hen

4 Behold <2005 hen >, ye fast <6684 tsuwm > for strife <7379
riyb > and debate <4683 matstsah >, and to smite <5221 nakah >
with the fist <0106 >egroph > of wickedness <7562 resha< >: ye

to make your voice <6963 qowl > to be heard <8085 shama< > on
high <4791 marowm >.
5 Is it such <2088 zeh > a fast <6685 tsowm > that I have
chosen <0977 bachar >? a day <3117 yowm > for a man <0120 >adam

bow <3721 kaphaph > down his head <7218 ro>sh > as a bulrush

<7522 ratsown > day <3117 yowm > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >?
6 [Is] not this <2088 zeh > the fast <6685 tsowm > that I have
chosen <0977 bachar >? to loose <6605 pathach > the bands <2784
chartsubbah > of wickedness <7562 resha< >, to undo <5425 nathar

oppressed <7533 ratsats > go <7971 shalach > free <2670
chophshiy >, and that ye break <5423 nathaq > every <3605 kol >
yoke <4133 mowtah >?
7 [Is it] not to deal <6536 parac > thy bread <3899 lechem > to
the hungry <7456 ra<eb >, and that thou bring <0935 bow> > the
poor <6041 <aniy > that are cast <4788 maruwd > out to thy house
<1004 bayith >? when <3588 kiy > thou seest <7200 ra>ah > the
naked <6174 <arowm >, that thou cover <3680 kacah > him; and
that thou hide <5956 <alam > not thyself from thine own flesh
<1320 basar >?
8. Then <0227 >az > shall thy light <0216 >owr > break <1234
baqa< > forth as the morning <7837 shachar >, and thine health
<0724 >aruwkah > shall spring <6779 tsamach > forth speedily
<4120 m@herah >: and thy righteousness <6664 tsedeq > shall go
<1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > thee; the glory <3519 kabowd

9 Then <0227 >az > shalt thou call <7121 qara> >, and the LORD

<8432 tavek > of thee the yoke <4133 mowtah >, the putting <7971

and speaking <1696 dabar > vanity <0205 >aven >;
10 And [if] thou draw <6329 puwq > out thy soul <5315 nephesh >
to the hungry <7456 ra<eb >, and satisfy <7646 saba< > the
afflicted <6031 <anah > soul <5315 nephesh >; then shall thy
light <0216 >owr > rise <2224 zarach > in obscurity <2822
choshek >, and thy darkness <0653 >aphelah > [be] as the noonday
<6672 tsohar >:
11 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall guide <5148 nachah > thee
continually <8548 tamiyd >, and satisfy <7646 saba< > thy soul
<5315 nephesh > in drought <6710 tsachtsachah >, and make fat
<2502 chalats > thy bones <6106 <etsem >: and thou shalt be like
a watered <7302 raveh > garden <1588 gan >, and like a spring
<4161 mowtsa> > of water <4325 mayim >, whose <0834 >aher >
waters <4325 mayim > fail <3576 kazab > not.
12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build <1129 banah >
the old <5769 <owlam > waste <2723 chorbah > places: thou shalt
raise <6965 quwm > up the foundations <4146 mowcadah > of many
generations <1755 dowr >; and thou shalt be called <7121 qara> >,
The repairer <1443 gadar > of the breach <6556 perets >, The
restorer <7725 shuwb > of paths <5410 nathiyb > to dwell <3427

13. If <0518 >im > thou turn <7725 shuwb > away thy foot <7272

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, honourable <3513 kabad >; and shalt
honour <3513 kabad > him, not doing <6213 <asah > thine own ways

14 Then <0227 >az > shalt thou delight <6026 <anag > thyself in
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and I will cause thee to ride <7392

mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696

Isaiah 59
1. Behold <2005 hen >, the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > hand <3027

2 But your iniquities <5771 <avon > have separated <0914 badal

your sins <2403 chatta>ah > have hid <5641 cathar > [his] face
<6440 paniym > from you, that he will not hear <8085 shama< >.
3 For your hands <3709 kaph > are defiled <1351 ga>al > with
blood <1818 dam >, and your fingers <0676 >etsba< > with
iniquity <5771 <avon >; your lips <8193 saphah > have spoken
<1696 dabar > lies <8267 sheqer >, your tongue <3956 lashown >
hath muttered <1897 hagah > perverseness <5766 <evel >.
4 None <0369 >ayin > calleth <7121 qara> > for justice <6664

truth <0530 >emuwnah >: they trust <0982 batach > in vanity

conceive <2029 harah > mischief <5999 <amal >, and bring <3205
yalad > forth <3205 yalad > iniquity <0205 >aven >.
5 They hatch <1234 baqa< > cockatrice <6848 tsepha< >' eggs

6 Their webs <6980 quwr > shall not become <1961 hayah >
garments <0899 beged >, neither <3808 lo> > shall they cover
<3680 kacah > themselves with their works <4639 ma<aseh >: their
works <4639 ma<aseh > [are] works <4639 ma<aseh > of iniquity
<0205 >aven >, and the act <6467 po<al > of violence <2555
chamac > [is] in their hands <3709 kaph >.
7 Their feet <7272 regel > run <7323 ruwts > to evil <7451 ra<

innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam >: their thoughts <4284

8 The way <1870 derek > of peace <7965 shalowm > they know

9. Therefore is judgment <4941 mishpat > far <7368 rachaq >
from us, neither <3808 lo> > doth justice <6666 ts@daqah >
overtake <5381 nasag > us: we wait <6960 qavah > for light <0216

brightness <5054 n@gohah >, [but] we walk <1980 halak > in
darkness <0653 >aphelah >.
10 We grope <1659 gashash > for the wall <7023 qiyr > like the
blind <5787 <ivver >, and we grope <1659 gashash > as if [we
had] no <0369 >ayin > eyes <5869 <ayin >: we stumble <3782

11 We roar <1993 hamah > all <3605 kol > like bears <1677 dob >,
and mourn <1897 hagah > sore like doves <3123 yownah >: we look
<6960 qavah > for judgment <4941 mishpat >, but [there is] none
<0369 >ayin >; for salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah >, [but] it is far
<7368 rachaq > off from us.
12 For our transgressions <6588 pesha< > are multiplied <7231
rabab > before <5048 neged > thee, and our sins <2403 chatta>ah

pesha< > [are] with us; and [as for] our iniquities <5771 <avon

13 In transgressing <6586 pasha< > and lying <3584 kachash >
against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and departing <5253 nacag >
away from our God <0430 >elohiym >, speaking <1696 dabar >
oppression <6233 <osheq > and revolt <5627 carah >, conceiving
<2030 hareh > and uttering <1897 hagah > from the heart <3820
leb > words <1697 dabar > of falsehood <8267 sheqer >.
14 And judgment <4941 mishpat > is turned <5253 nacag > away
backward <0268 >achowr >, and justice <6666 ts@daqah > standeth
<5975 <amad > afar <7350 rachowq > off: for truth <0571 >emeth >
is fallen <3782 kashal > in the street <7339 r@chob >, and
equity <5229 n@kochah > cannot enter <0935 bow> >.
15 Yea, truth <0571 >emeth > faileth <5737 <adar >; and he
[that] departeth <5493 cuwr > from evil <7451 ra< > maketh
himself a prey <7997 shalal >: and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saw
<7200 ra>ah > [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no
<0369 >ayin > judgment <4941 mishpat >.
16. And he saw <7200 ra>ah > that [there was] no <0369 >ayin >
man <0376 >iysh >, and wondered <8074 shamem > that [there was]
no <0369 >ayin > intercessor <6293 paga< >: therefore his arm
<2220 z@rowa< > brought <3467 yasha< > salvation <3467 yasha< >
unto him; and his righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, it sustained
<5564 camak > him.
17 For he put <3847 labash > on righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >
as a breastplate <8302 shiryown >, and an helmet <3553 kowba< >
of salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > upon his head <7218 ro>sh >; and
he put <3847 labash > on the garments <0899 beged > of vengeance
<5359 naqam > [for] clothing <8516 talbosheth >, and was clad

thine apparel <3830 l@buwsh >, and thy garments <0899 beged >
like him that treadeth <1869 darak > in the winefat <1660 gath >?
3 I have trodden <1869 darak > the winepress <6333 puwrah >
alone <0905 bad >; and of the people <5971 <am > [there was]
none with me: for I will tread <1869 darak > them in mine anger
<0639 >aph >, and trample <7429 ramac > them in my fury <2534
chemah >; and their blood <5332 Netsach > shall be sprinkled
<5137 nazah > upon my garments <0899 beged >, and I will stain
<1351 ga>al > all <3605 kol > my raiment <4403 malbuwsh >.
4 For the day <3117 yowm > of vengeance <5359 naqam > [is] in
mine heart <3820 leb >, and the year <8141 shaneh > of my
redeemed <1350 ga>al > is come <0935 bow> >.
5 And I looked <5027 nabat >, and [there was] none <0369 >ayin

[there was] none <0369 >ayin > to uphold <5564 camak >:
therefore mine own arm <2220 z@rowa< > brought <3467 yasha< >
salvation <3467 yasha< > unto me; and my fury <2534 chemah >, it
upheld <5564 camak > me.
6 And I will tread <0947 buwc > down the people <5971 <am > in
mine anger <0639 >aph >, and make them drunk <7937 shakar > in
my fury <2534 chemah >, and I will bring <3381 yarad > down
their strength <5332 Netsach > to the earth <0776 >erets >.
7. I will mention <2142 zakar > the lovingkindnesses <2617
checed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] the praises <8416
t@hillah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, according <5921 <al > to
all <3605 kol > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath bestowed
<1580 gamal > on us, and the great <7227 rab > goodness <2898
tuwb > toward the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

according to his mercies <7356 racham >, and according to the
multitude <7230 rob > of his lovingkindnesses <2617 checed >.
8 For he said <0559 >amar >, Surely <0389 >ak > they [are] my
people <5971 <am >, children <1121 ben > [that] will not lie
<8266 shaqar >: so he was their Saviour <3467 yasha< >.
9 In all <3605 kol > their affliction <6869 tsarah > he was
afflicted <6862 tsar >, and the angel <4397 mal>ak > of his
presence <6440 paniym > saved <3467 yasha< > them: in his love
<0160 >ahabah > and in his pity <2551 chemlah > he redeemed
<1350 ga>al > them; and he bare <5190 natal > them, and carried
<5375 nasa> > them all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of old
<5769 <owlam >.
10 But they rebelled <4784 marah >, and vexed <6087 <atsab >
his holy <6944 qodesh > Spirit <7307 ruwach >: therefore he was
turned <2015 haphak > to be their enemy <0341 >oyeb >, [and] he
fought <3898 lacham > against them.
11 Then he remembered <2142 zakar > the days <3117 yowm > of
old <5769 <owlam >, Moses <4872 Mosheh >, [and] his people <5971
<am >, [saying], Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] he that brought <5927
<alah > them up out of the sea <3220 yam > with the shepherd
<7462 ra<ah > of his flock <6629 tso>n >? where <0346 >ayeh >
[is] he that put <7760 suwm > his holy <6944 qodesh > Spirit
<7307 ruwach > within <7130 qereb > him?
12 That led <3212 yalak > [them] by the right <3225 yamiyn >
hand <3225 yamiyn > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > with his glorious
<8597 tiph>arah > arm <2220 z@rowa< >, dividing <1234 baqa< >
the water <4325 mayim > before <6440 paniym > them, to make
<6213 <asah > himself an everlasting <5769 <owlam > name <8034
shem >?
13 That led <3212 yalak > them through the deep <8415 t@howm >,
as an horse <5483 cuwc > in the wilderness <4057 midbar >,
[that] they should not stumble <3782 kashal >?
14 As a beast <0929 b@hemah > goeth <3318 yatsa> > down <3381
yarad > into the valley <1237 biq<ah >, the Spirit <7307 ruwach

so <3651 ken > didst thou lead <5090 nahag > thy people <5971

15. Look <5027 nabat > down from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and
behold <7200 ra>ah > from the habitation <2073 z@buwl > of thy
holiness <6944 qodesh > and of thy glory <8597 tiph>arah >:
where <0346 >ayeh > [is] thy zeal <7068 qin>ah > and thy

16 Doubtless <3588 kiy > thou [art] our father <1>, though
<3588 kiy > Abraham <85> be ignorant of us, and Israel <3478

name <8034 shem > [is] from everlasting <5769 <owlam >.
17 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, why <4100 mah > hast thou made us to
err <8582 ta<ah > from thy ways <1870 derek >, [and] hardened
<7188 qashach > our heart <3820 leb > from thy fear <3374 yir>ah

<4616 ma<an >, the tribes <7626 shebet > of thine inheritance
<5159 nachalah >.
18 The people <5971 <am > of thy holiness <6944 qodesh > have
possessed <3423 yarash > [it] but a little <4705 mits<ar > while
<4705 mits<ar >: our adversaries <6862 tsar > have trodden <0947

19 We are [thine]: thou never barest <4910 mashal > rule <4910

name <8034 shem >.
Isaiah 64
1. Oh <3863 luw> > that thou wouldest rend <7167 qara< > the

down <3381 yarad >, that the mountains <2022 har > might flow
<2151 zalal > down at thy presence <6440 paniym >,
2 As [when] the melting <2003 hamac > fire <0784 >esh > burneth

known <3045 yada< > to thine adversaries <6862 tsar >, [that]
the nations <1471 gowy > may tremble <7264 ragaz > at thy

3 When thou didst <6213 <asah > terrible <3372 yare> > things

4 For since the beginning <5769 <owlam > of the world <5769

perceived <0238 >azan > by the ear <0238 >azan >, neither <3808

5 Thou meetest <6293 paga< > him that rejoiceth <7797 suws >
and worketh <6213 <asah > righteousness <6664 tsedeq >, [those

behold <2005 hen >, thou art wroth <7107 qatsaph >; for we have
sinned <2398 chata> >: in those <1992 hem > is continuance <5769

6. But we are all <3605 kol > as an unclean <2931 tame> >

our iniquities <5771 <avon >, like the wind <7307 ruwach >, have
taken <5375 nasa> > us away.
7 And [there is] none <0369 >ayin > that calleth <7121 qara> >
upon thy name <8034 shem >, that stirreth <5782 <uwr > up
himself to take <2388 chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > of thee: for
thou hast hid <5641 cathar > thy face <6440 paniym > from us,
and hast consumed <4127 muwg > us, because <3027 yad > of our
iniquities <5771 <avon >.
8 But now <6258 <attah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou [art]
our father <1>; we [are] the clay <2563 chomer >, and thou our

9 Be not wroth <7107 qatsaph > very <3966 m@<od > sore <3966

behold <2005 hen >, see <5027 nabat >, we beseech <4994 na> >
thee, we [are] all <3605 kol > thy people <5971 <am >.
10 Thy holy <6944 qodesh > cities <5892 <iyr > are a wilderness

12 Wilt thou refrain <0662 >aphaq > thyself for these <0428 >el-

Isaiah 65
1. I am sought <1875 darash > of [them that] asked <7592 sha>al

I am holier <6942 qadash > than thou. These <0428 >el-leh >

6 Behold <2009 hinneh >, [it is] written <3789 kathab > before

will recompense <7999 shalam >, even recompense into <5921 <al >

7 Your iniquities <5771 <avon >, and the iniquities <5771 <avon

8. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

11. But ye [are] they that forsake <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068

12 Therefore will I number <4487 manah > you to the sword <2719

16 That he who <0834 >aher > blesseth <1288 barak > himself in

n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: but to this <2088 zeh > [man]
will I look <5027 nabat >, [even] to [him that is] poor <6041
<aniy > and of a contrite <5223 nakeh > spirit <7307 ruwach >,
and trembleth <2730 chared > at <5921 <al > my word <1697 dabar
>.
3 He that killeth <7819 shachat > an ox <7794 showr > [is as
if] he slew <5221 nakah > a man <0376 >iysh >; he that
sacrificeth <2076 zabach > a lamb <7716 seh >, [as if] he cut
off a dog's <3611 keleb > neck <6202 <araph >; he that offereth
<5927 <alah > an oblation <4503 minchah >, [as if he offered
<5927 <alah >] swine's <2386 chaziyr > blood <1818 dam >; he
that burneth <2142 zakar > incense <3828 l@bownah >, [as if] he
blessed <1288 barak > an idol <0205 >aven >. Yea <1571 gam >,
they have chosen <0977 bachar > their own ways <1870 derek >,
and their soul <5315 nephesh > delighteth <2654 chaphets > in
their abominations <8251 shiqquwts >.
4 I also <1571 gam > will choose <0977 bachar > their delusions
<8586 ta<aluwl >, and will bring <0935 bow> > their fears <4035
m@guwrah > upon them; because <3282 ya<an > when I called <7121
qara> >, none <0369 >ayin > did answer <6030 <anah >; when I
spake <1696 dabar >, they did not hear <8085 shama< >: but they
did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > before mine eyes <5869 <ayin
>, and chose <0977 bachar > [that] in which <0834 >aher > I
delighted <2654 chaphets > not.
5. Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, ye that tremble <2730 chared > at <0413 >el > his
word <1697 dabar >; Your brethren <0251 >ach > that hated <8130
sane> > you, that cast <5077 nadah > you out for my name's <8034
shem > sake <4616 ma<an >, said <0559 >amar >, Let the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > be glorified <3513 kabad >: but he shall appear
<7200 ra>ah > to your joy <8057 simchah >, and they shall be
ashamed <0954 buwsh >.
6 A voice <6963 qowl > of noise <7588 sha>own > from the city
<5892 <iyr >, a voice <6963 qowl > from the temple <1964 heykal
>, a voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that
rendereth <7999 shalam > recompence <1576 g@muwl > to his
enemies <0341 >oyeb >.
7 Before <2962 terem > she travailed <2342 chuwl >, she brought
<3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad >; before <2962 terem > her pain
<2256 chebel > came <0935 bow> >, she was delivered <4422 malat
> of a man <2145 zakar > child.
8 Who <4310 miy > hath heard <8085 shama< > such <2063 zo>th >
a thing? who <0834 >aher > hath seen <7200 ra>ah > such <0428
>el-leh > things? Shall the earth <0776 >erets > be made to
bring <2342 chuwl > forth <2342 chuwl > in one <0259 >echad >
day <3117 yowm >? [or] shall a nation <1471 gowy > be born <3205
yalad > at once <6471 pa<am >? for as soon <1571 gam > as Zion
<6726 Tsiyown > travailed <2342 chuwl >, she brought <3205 yalad

9 Shall I bring <7665 shabar > to the birth <7665 shabar >, and
not cause to bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad >? saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: shall I cause to bring
<3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad >, and shut <6113 <atsar > [the
womb]? saith <0559 >amar > thy God <0430 >elohiym >.
10 Rejoice <8055 samach > ye with Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

love <0157 >ahab > her: rejoice <7797 suws > for joy <4885
masows > with her, all <3605 kol > ye that mourn <56> for her:
11 That ye may suck <3243 yanaq >, and be satisfied <7646 saba<

tanchuwm >; that ye may milk <4711 matsats > out, and be
delighted <6026 <anag > with the abundance <2123 ziyz > of her
glory <3519 kabowd >.
12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will extend <5186 natah > peace
<7965 shalowm > to her like a river <5104 nahar >, and the glory
<3519 kabowd > of the Gentiles <1471 gowy > like a flowing <7857
shataph > stream <5158 nachal >: then shall ye suck <3243 yanaq

and be dandled <8173 sha<a< > upon [her] knees <1290 berek >.
13 As one <0376 >iysh > whom <0834 >aher > his mother <0517 >em

nacham > you; and ye shall be comforted <5162 nacham > in
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
14 And when ye see <7200 ra>ah > [this], your heart <3820 leb >
shall rejoice <7797 suws >, and your bones <6106 <etsem > shall
flourish <6524 parach > like an herb <1877 deshe> >: and the
hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be known
<3045 yada< > toward <0854 >eth > his servants <5650 <ebed >,
and [his] indignation <2194 za<am > toward <0854 >eth > his
enemies <0341 >oyeb >.
15. For, behold <2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will
come <0935 bow> > with fire <0784 >esh >, and with his chariots
<4818 merkabah > like a whirlwind <5492 cuwphah >, to render
<7725 shuwb > his anger <0639 >aph > with fury <2534 chemah >,
and his rebuke <1606 g@<arah > with flames <3851 lahab > of fire
<0784 >esh >.
16 For by fire <0784 >esh > and by his sword <2719 chereb >
will the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > plead <8199 shaphat > with all
<3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar >: and the slain <2491 chalal > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be many <7231 rabab >.
17 They that sanctify <6942 qadash > themselves, and purify
<2891 taher > themselves in the gardens <1593 gannah > behind
<0310 >achar > one <0259 >echad > [tree] in the midst <8432
tavek >, eating <0398 >akal > swine's <2386 chaziyr > flesh
<1320 basar >, and the abomination <8263 sheqets >, and the
mouse <5909 <akbar >, shall be consumed <5486 cuwph > together
<3162 yachad >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
18 For I [know] their works <4639 ma<aseh > and their thoughts
<4284 machashabah >: it shall come <0935 bow> >, that I will
gather <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy > and
tongues <3956 lashown >; and they shall come <0935 bow> >, and
see <7200 ra>ah > my glory <3519 kabowd >.
19 And I will set <7760 suwm > a sign <0226 >owth > among them,
and I will send <7971 shalach > those <1992 hem > that escape
<6412 paliyt > of them unto the nations <1471 gowy >, [to]
Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh >, Pul <6322 Puwl >, and Lud <3865 Luwd

<8422 Tuwbal >, and Javan <3120 Yavan >, [to] the isles <0339

ra>ah > my glory <3519 kabowd >; and they shall declare <5046
nagad > my glory <3519 kabowd > among the Gentiles <1471 gowy >.
20 And they shall bring <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol > your
brethren <0251 >ach > [for] an offering <4503 minchah > unto the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > out of all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy >
upon horses <5483 cuwc >, and in chariots <7393 rekeb >, and in
litters <6632 tsab >, and upon mules <6505 pered >, and upon
swift <3753 karkarah > beasts <3753 karkarah >, to my holy <6944
qodesh > mountain <2022 har > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, as the children
<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > bring <0935 bow> > an
offering <4503 minchah > in a clean <2889 tahowr > vessel <3627
k@liy > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

21 And I will also <1571 gam > take <3947 laqach > of them for
priests <3548 kohen > [and] for Levites <3881 Leviyiy >, saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
22 For as the new <2319 chadash > heavens <8064 shamayim > and
the new <2319 chadash > earth <0776 >erets >, which <0834 >aher

<6440 paniym > me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
so <3651 ken > shall your seed <2233 zera< > and your name <8034
shem > remain <5975 <amad >.
23 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] from one new
<2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh > to another, and from one
sabbath <7676 shabbath > to another, shall all <3605 kol > flesh
<1320 basar > come <0935 bow> > to worship <7812 shachah >
before <6440 paniym > me, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.
24 And they shall go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and
look <7200 ra>ah > upon the carcases <6297 peger > of the men
<0582 >enowsh > that have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me:
for their worm <8438 towla< > shall not die <4191 muwth >,
neither <3808 lo> > shall their fire <0784 >esh > be quenched
<3518 kabah >; and they shall be an abhorring <1860 d@ra>own >
unto all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar >.
