: Isaiah 35

: 1 . The wilderness <4057 midbar > and the solitary <6723

tsiyah > place shall be glad <7996 Shalleketh > for them ; and

the desert <6160 <arabah > shall rejoice <1523 giyl > , and

blossom <6524 parach > as the rose <2261 chabatstseleth > .

: 2 It shall blossom <6524 parach > abundantly <6524 parach > ,

and rejoice <1523 giyl > even <0637 >aph > with joy <1525

giylah > and singing <7442 ranan > : the glory <3519 kabowd > of

Lebanon <3844 L@banown > shall be given <5414 nathan > unto it ,

the excellency <1926 hadar > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > and

Sharon <8289 Sharown > , they shall see <7200 ra>ah > the glory

<3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ and ] the

excellency <1926 hadar > of our God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 3 Strengthen <2388 chazaq > ye the weak <7504 rapheh > hands

<3027 yad > , and confirm <0553 >amats > the feeble <3782

kashal > knees <1290 berek > .

: 4 Say <0559 >amar > to them [ that are ] of a fearful <4116

mahar > heart <3820 leb > , Be strong <2388 chazaq > , fear

<3372 yare> > not : behold <2009 hinneh > , your God <0430

>elohiym > will come <0935 bow> > [ with ] vengeance <5359

naqam > , [ even ] God <0430 >elohiym > [ with ] a

recompence <1576 g@muwl > ; he will come <0935 bow> > and save

<3467 yasha< > you .

: 5 . Then <0227 >az > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the blind

<5787 <ivver > shall be opened <6491 paqach > , and the ears

<0241 >ozen > of the deaf <2795 cheresh > shall be unstopped

<6605 pathach > .

: 6 Then <0227 >az > shall the lame <6455 picceach > [ man ]

leap <1801 dalag > as an hart <0354 >ayal > , and the tongue

<3956 lashown > of the dumb <0483 >illem > sing <7442 ranan > :

for in the wilderness <4057 midbar > shall waters <4325 mayim >

break <1234 baqa< > out , and streams <5158 nachal > in the

desert <6160 <arabah > .

: 7 And the parched <8273 sharab > ground shall become <1961

hayah > a pool <98> , and the thirsty <6774 tsimma>own > land

springs <4002 mabbuwa< > of water <4325 mayim > : in the

habitation <5116 naveh > of dragons <8577 tanniyn > , where

each lay <7258 rebets > , [ shall be ] grass <2682 chatsiyr >

with reeds <7070 qaneh > and rushes <1573 gome> > .

: 8 And an highway <4547 macluwl > shall be there <8033 sham > ,

and a way <1870 derek > , and it shall be called <7121 qara>

> The way <1870 derek > of holiness <6944 qodesh > ; the

unclean <2931 tame> > shall not pass <5674 <abar > over <5674

<abar > it ; but it [ shall be ] for those : the wayfaring

men <0582 >enowsh > , though fools <0191 >eviyl > , shall not

err <8582 ta<ah > [ therein ] .

: 9 No <3808 lo> > lion <0738 >ariy > shall be there <8033 sham

> , nor <1077 bal > [ any ] ravenous <6530 p@riyts > beast

<2416 chay > shall go <5927 <alah > up thereon , it shall not

be found <4672 matsa> > there <8033 sham > ; but the redeemed

<1350 ga>al > shall walk <1980 halak > [ there ] :

: 10 And the ransomed <6299 padah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

shall return <7725 shuwb > , and come <0935 bow> > to Zion

<6726 Tsiyown > with songs <7440 rinnah > and everlasting <5769

<owlam > joy <8057 simchah > upon their heads <7218 ro>sh > :

they shall obtain <5381 nasag > joy <8057 simchah > and gladness

<8057 simchah > , and sorrow <3015 yagown > and sighing <0585

>anachah > shall flee <5127 nuwc > away .

: Isaiah 36

: 1 . Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourteenth year

<8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,

[ that ] Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek >

of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came <5927 <alah > up against <5921

<al > all <3605 kol > the defenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892

<iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and took <8610 taphas > them

: 2 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >

sent <7971 shalach > Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > from Lachish

<3923 Lachiysh > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > unto king

<4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > with a great <3515

kabed > army <2426 cheyl > . And he stood <5975 <amad > by the

conduit <8585 t@<alah > of the upper <5945 >elyown > pool <1295

b@rekah > in the highway <4546 m@cillah > of the fuller s <3526

kabac > field <7704 sadeh > .

: 3 Then came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto him

Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > , Hilkiah s <2518 Chilqiyah > son

<1121 ben > , which <0834 >aher > was over <5921 <al > the

house <1004 bayith > , and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe

<5608 caphar > , and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > , Asaph s <0623

>Acaph > son <1121 ben > , the recorder <2142 zakar > .

: 4 And Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto

them , Say <0559 >amar > ye now <4994 na> > to Hezekiah <2396

Chizqiyah > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the great

<1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek > , the king <4428 melek > of

Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , What confidence <0986 bittachown >

[ is ] this <2088 zeh > wherein <0834 >aher > thou trustest

<0982 batach > ?

: 5 I say <0559 >amar > , [ sayest thou ] , ( but [ they

are but ] vain <8193 saphah > words <1697 dabar > ) [ I have

] counsel <6098 <etsah > and strength <1369 g@buwrah > for war

<4421 milchamah > : now <6258 <attah > on <5921 <al > whom <4310

miy > dost thou trust <0982 batach > , that thou rebellest

<4775 marad > against me ?

: 6 Lo <2009 hinneh > , thou trustest <0982 batach > in the

staff <4938 mish<enah > of this <2088 zeh > broken <7533 ratsats

whereon if a man <0376 >iysh > lean <5564 camak > , it will go

<0935 bow> > into his hand <3709 kaph > , and pierce <5344

naqab > it : so <3651 ken > [ is ] Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king

<4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to all <3605 kol > that

trust <0982 batach > in him .

: 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 mizbeach > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > hath taken

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

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,

Ye shall worship <7812 shachah > before <6440 paniym > this

<2088 zeh > altar <4196 mizbeach > ?

: 8 Now <6258 <attah > therefore give pledges <6148 <arab > ,

I pray <4994 na> > thee , to my master <0113 >adown > the king

<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , and I will give

<5414 nathan > thee two thousand <0505 >eleph > horses <5483

cuwc > , if <0518 >im > thou be able <3201 yakol > on thy part

to set <5414 nathan > riders <7392 rakab > upon them .

: 9 How <0349 >eyk > then wilt thou turn <7725 shuwb > away the

face <6440 paniym > of one <0259 >echad > captain <6346 pechah >

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

servants <5650 <ebed > , and put thy trust <0982 batach > on

<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

<1107 bil<adey > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > against <5921 <al >

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

Go <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 dabar > not to us in the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy

: 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

>el - leh > words <1697 dabar > ? [ hath he ] not [ sent me

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 > in the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > language , and said <0559

great <1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek > , the king <4428 melek

: 14 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek

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 >amar > , The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will surely deliver

<5337 natsal > us : this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > shall

not be 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

<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

: 19 Where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] the gods <0430 >elohiym > of

Hamath <2574Chamath > and Arphad <0774 >Arpad > ? where <0346

C@pharvayim > ? and have they delivered <5337 natsal > Samaria

<8111 Shom@rown > out of my hand <3027 yad > ?

gods <0430 >elohiym > of these <0428 >el - leh > lands <0776

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 <al > the household <1004 bayith > , and Shebna

their ] clothes <0899 beged > rent <7167 qara< > , and told

<5046 nagad > him the words <1697 dabar > of Rabshakeh <7262

: Isaiah 37

: 1 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when king <4428

melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > heard <8085 shama< > [ it ]

covered <3680 kacah > himself with sackcloth <8242 saq > , and

went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > .

: 2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > ,

who <0834 >aher > [ was ] over <5921 <al > the household <1004

bayith > , and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe <5608 caphar >

, and the elders <2205 zaqen > of the priests <3548 kohen >

covered <3680 kacah > with sackcloth <8242 saq > , unto Isaiah

<3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son <1121 ben >

of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > .

: 3 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him , Thus <3541 koh >

saith <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > , This <2088 zeh

: 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 >

the 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

: 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

land <0776 >erets > ; and I will cause him to fall <5307 naphal

: 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 > .

Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh > , He is come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

heard <8085 shama< > [ it ] , he sent <7971 shalach >

messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,

saying <0559 >amar > ,

<0776 >erets > by destroying <2763 charam > them utterly ; and

shalt thou be 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 >

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

: 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 > ,

into the fire <0784 >esh > : for they [ were ] no <3808 lo> >

gods <0430 >elohiym > , but the work <4639 ma<aseh > of men s

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , Whereas <0834 >aher > thou hast

prayed <6419 palal > to me against <0413 >el > Sennacherib <5576

Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > :

: 22 This <2088 zeh > [ is ] the word <1697 dabar > which

<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >

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

<6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 24 By thy servants <5650 <ebed > hast thou reproached <2778

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 :

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 ; [

waste <7582 sha>ah > 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

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

thy going <3318 yatsa> > out , and thy coming <0935 bow> > in ,

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > the king <4428

for my servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732 David > sake <4616

all <3605 kol > dead <4191 muwth > corpses <6297 peger > .

And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son

And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > wept <1058 bakah > sore <1419

: 7 And this <2088 zeh > [ shall be ] a sign <0226 >owth >

unto thee from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , that the LORD <3068
