ISA-1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw

concerning Judah

and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and]

Hezekiah, kings of

Judah.

ISA-1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD

hath spoken, I

have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled

against me.

ISA-1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib:

[but] Israel

doth not know, my people doth not consider.

ISA-1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed

of evildoers,

children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they

have provoked

the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

ISA-1:5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more

and more: the

whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

ISA-1:6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is]

no soundness

in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they

have not been

closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

ISA-1:7 Your country [is] desolate, your cities [are] burned

with fire: your

land, strangers devour it in your presence, and [it is] desolate,

overthrown by strangers.

ISA-1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a

vineyard, as a

lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

ISA-1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small

remnant, we

should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto

Gomorrah.

ISA-1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give

ear unto the law

of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

ISA-1:11 To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices

unto me? saith

the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat

of fed beasts;

and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of

he goats.

ISA-1:12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required

this at your

hand, to tread my courts?

ISA-1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an

abomination unto me; the

new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away

with; [it is]

iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

ISA-1:14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul

hateth: they are a

trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [them].

ISA-1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine

eyes from you:

yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are

full of blood.

ISA-1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your

doings from

before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

ISA-1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed,

judge the

fatherless, plead for the widow.

ISA-1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

though your

sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they

be red like

crimson, they shall be as wool.

ISA-1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good

of the land:

ISA-1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with

the sword: for

the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].

ISA-1:21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full

of judgment;

righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

ISA-1:22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

ISA-1:23 Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of

thieves: every one

loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the

fatherless,

neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

ISA-1:24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the

mighty One of

Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of

mine enemies:

ISA-1:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge

away thy dross,

and take away all thy tin:

ISA-1:26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy

counsellors

as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of

righteousness, the faithful city.

ISA-1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts

with

righteousness.

ISA-1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the

sinners [shall

be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

ISA-1:29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have

desired, and ye

shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

ISA-1:30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a

garden that

hath no water.

ISA-1:31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as

a spark, and

they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them].

ISA-2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning

Judah and

Jerusalem.

ISA-2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the

mountain of

the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the

mountains, and shall

be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

ISA-2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us

go up to the

mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he

will teach us

of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion

shall go forth the

law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

ISA-2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke

many people:

and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their

spears into

pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

neither shall

they learn war any more.

ISA-2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light

of the LORD.

ISA-2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of

Jacob, because

they be replenished from the east, and [are] soothsayers like

the Philistines,

and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

ISA-2:7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither [is

there any]

end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses,

neither [is there

any] end of their chariots:

ISA-2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work

of their own

hands, that which their own fingers have made:

ISA-2:9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man

humbleth himself:

therefore forgive them not.

ISA-2:10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for

fear of the

LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

ISA-2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the

haughtiness of men

shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that

day.

ISA-2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts [shall be] upon every

[one that is]

proud and lofty, and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he

shall be

brought low:

ISA-2:13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, [that are] high

and lifted up,

and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

ISA-2:14 And upon all the high mountains, an

ISA-3:1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take

away from

Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay

of bread, and

the whole stay of water.

ISA-3:2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the

prophet, and

the prudent, and the ancient,

ISA-3:3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the

counsellor, and

the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

ISA-3:4 And I will give children [to be] their princes, and

babes shall rule

over them.

ISA-3:5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another,

and every

one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly

against the

ancient, and the base against the honourable.

ISA-3:6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house

of his father,

[saying], Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and [let] this

ruin [be]

under thy hand:

ISA-3:7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an

healer; for in

my house [is] neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of

the people.

ISA-3:8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because

their tongue

and their doings [are] against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of

his glory.

ISA-3:9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them;

and they

declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. Woe unto their

soul! for they

have rewarded evil unto themselves.

ISA-3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with

him]: for

they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

ISA-3:11 Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]: for

the reward of

his hands shall be given him.

ISA-3:12 [As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors,

and women rule

over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause [thee] to err,

and destroy

the way of thy paths.

ISA-3:13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge

the people.

ISA-3:14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of

his people,

and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the

spoil of the

poor [is] in your houses.

ISA-3:15 What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and

grind the faces

of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

ISA-3:16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion

are haughty,

and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and

mincing [as]

they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

ISA-3:17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of

the head of

the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret

parts.

ISA-3:18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of

[their] tinkling

ornaments [about their feet], and [their] cauls, and [their]

round tires like

the moon,

ISA-3:19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

ISA-3:20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the

headbands, and

the tablets, and the earrings,

ISA-3:21 The rings, and nose jewels,

ISA-3:22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and

the wimples,

and the crisping pins,

ISA-3:23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and

the veils.

ISA-3:24 And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet

smell there shall

be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well

set hair

baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth;

[and] burning

instead of beauty.

ISA-3:25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the

war.

ISA-3:26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being]

desolate shall

sit upon the ground.

ISA-4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man,

saying, We

will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be

called by thy

name, to take away our reproach.

ISA-4:2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful

and glorious,

and the fruit of the earth [shall be] excellent and comely for

them that are

escaped of Israel.

ISA-4:3 And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left in

Zion, and [he

that] remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, [even] every

one that is

written among the living in Jerusalem:

ISA-4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the

daughters of

Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the

midst thereof by

the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

ISA-4:5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of

mount Zion, and

upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining

of a flaming

fire by night: for upon all the glory [shall be] a defence.

ISA-4:6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the

daytime from the

heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and

from rain.

ISA-5:1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved

touching his

vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

ISA-5:2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof,

and planted it

with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it,

and also made a

winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth

grapes, and it

brought forth wild grapes.

ISA-5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah,

judge, I pray

you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

ISA-5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I

have not done

in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth

grapes, brought it

forth wild grapes?

ISA-5:5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my

vineyard: I will

take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; [and]

break down the

wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

ISA-5:6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor

digged; but

there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the

clouds that

they rain no rain upon it.

ISA-5:7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts [is] the house of

Israel, and

the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment,

but behold

oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

ISA-5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house, [that] lay

field to field,

till [there be] no place, that they may be placed alone in the

midst of the

earth!

ISA-5:9 In mine ears [said] the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many

houses shall

be desolate, [even] great and fair, without inhabitant.

ISA-5:10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and

the seed of an

homer shall yield an ephah.

ISA-5:11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning,

[that] they may

follow strong drink; that continue until night, [till] wine

inflame them!

ISA-5:12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and

wine, are in

their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither

consider the

operation of his hands.

ISA-5:13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because

[they have] no

knowledge: and their honourable men [are] famished, and their

multitude dried

up with thirst.

ISA-5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her

mouth without

measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp,

and he that

rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

ISA-5:15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty

man shall be

humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

ISA-5:16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment,

and God that is

holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

ISA-5:17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the

waste places

of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

ISA-5:18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity,

and sin as it

were with a cart rope:

ISA-5:19 That say, Let him make speed, [and] hasten his work,

that we may see

[it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh

and come, that

we may know [it]!

ISA-5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that

put darkness

for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet,

and sweet for

bitter!

ISA-5:21 Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and

prudent in

their own sight!

ISA-5:22 Woe unto [them that are] mighty to drink wine, and men

of strength

to mingle strong drink:

ISA-5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the

righteousness

of the righteous from him!

ISA-5:24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the

flame consumeth

the chaff, [so] their root shall be as rottenness, and their

blossom shall go

up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of

hosts, and

despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

ISA-5:25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his

people, and

he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten

them: and the

hills did tremble, and their carcases [were] torn in the midst

of the streets.

For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is]

stretched out

still.

ISA-5:26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far,

and will hiss

unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall

come with speed

swiftly:

ISA-5:27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall

slumber nor

sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor

the latchet of

their shoes be broken:

ISA-5:28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all their bows bent,

their horses'

hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a

whirlwind.

ISA-5:29 Their roaring [shall be] like a lion, they shall roar

like young

lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall

carry [it]

away safe, and none shall deliver [it].

ISA-5:30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the

roaring of the

sea: and if [one] look unto the land, behold darkness [and]

sorrow, and the

light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

ISA-6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord

sitting upon a

throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

ISA-6:2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings;

with twain he

covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with

twain he did

fly.

ISA-6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy,

[is] the LORD

of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.

ISA-6:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him

that cried, and

the house was filled with smoke.

ISA-6:5 Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I

[am] a man of

unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean

lips: for mine

eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

ISA-6:6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live

coal in his

hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

ISA-6:7 And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath

touched thy

lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

ISA-6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall

I send, and

who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.

ISA-6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed,

but understand

not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

ISA-6:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears

heavy, and

shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with

their ears, and

understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

ISA-6:11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until

the cities be

wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the

land be utterly

desolate,

ISA-6:12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and [there be]

a great

forsaking in the midst of the land.

ISA-6:13 But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall

return, and shall

be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance [is] in

them, when

they cast [their leaves: so] the holy seed [shall be] the

substance thereof.

ISA-7:1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of

Jotham, the son of

Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah

the son of

Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war

against it, but

could not prevail against it.

ISA-7:2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is

confederate with

Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people,

as the trees of

the wood are moved with the wind.

ISA-7:3 Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet

Ahaz, thou, and

Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool

in the

highway of the fuller's field;

ISA-7:4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not,

neither be

fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for

the fierce

anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.

ISA-7:5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have

taken evil

counsel against thee, saying,

ISA-7:6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make

a breach

therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the

son of Tabeal:

ISA-7:7 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither

shall it come to

pass.

ISA-7:8 For the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of

Damascus [is]

Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be

broken, that it

be not a people.

ISA-7:9 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of

Samaria [is]

Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be

established.

ISA-7:10 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

ISA-7:11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in

the depth, or

in the height above.

ISA-7:12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt

the LORD.

ISA-7:13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; [Is it] a

small thing

for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

ISA-7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;

Behold, a virgin

shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

ISA-7:15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to

refuse the evil,

and choose the good.

ISA-7:16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil,

and choose the

good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her

kings.

ISA-7:17 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people,

and upon thy

father's house, days that have not come from the day that

Ephraim departed

from Judah; [even] the king of Assyria.

ISA-7:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD

shall hiss

for the fly that [is] in the uttermost part of the rivers of

Egypt, and for

the bee that [is] in the land of Assyria.

ISA-7:19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the

desolate

valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and

upon all

bushes.

ISA-7:20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that

is hired,

[namely], by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the

head, and the

hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.

ISA-7:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man

shall nourish a

young cow, and two sheep;

ISA-7:22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk

[that] they

shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every

one eat that

is left in the land.

ISA-7:23 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every

place shall be,

where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it

shall [even]

be for briers and thorns.

ISA-7:24 With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither;

because all the

land shall become briers and thorns.

ISA-7:25 And [on] all hills that shall be digged with the

mattock, there

shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it

shall be for the

sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.

ISA-8:1 Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll,

and write in

it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.

ISA-8:2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah

the priest,

and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

ISA-8:3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and

bare a son.

Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.

ISA-8:4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My

father, and my

mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be

taken away

before the king of Assyria.

ISA-8:5 The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,

ISA-8:6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah

that go

softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

ISA-8:7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them

the waters of

the river, strong and many, [even] the king of Assyria, and all

his glory: and

he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his

banks:

ISA-8:8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and

go over, he

shall reach [even] to the neck; and the stretching out of his

wings shall fill

the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

ISA-8:9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be

broken in pieces;

and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye

shall be broken

in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

ISA-8:10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought;

speak the word,

and it shall not stand: for God [is] with us.

ISA-8:11 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and

instructed me

that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

ISA-8:12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this

people shall

say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

ISA-8:13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be]

your fear,

and [let] him [be] your dread.

ISA-8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of

stumbling and

for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin

and for a snare

to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

ISA-8:15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be

broken, and be

snared, and be taken.

ISA-8:16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

ISA-8:17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face

from the house

of Jacob, and I will look for him.

ISA-8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me

[are] for

signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which

dwelleth in

mount Zion.

ISA-8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that

have familiar

spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not

a people seek

unto their God? for the living to the dead?

ISA-8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not

according to this

word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.

ISA-8:21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and

hungry: and it

shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall

fret

themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

ISA-8:22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble

and darkness,

dimness of anguish; and [they shall be] driven to darkness.

ISA-9:1 Nevertheless the dimness [shall] not [be] such as [was]

in her

vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of

Zebulun and the

land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict [her

by] the way

of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.

ISA-9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great

light: they that

dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the

light shined.

ISA-9:3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, [and] not increased

the joy: they

joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, [and] as [men]

rejoice when

they divide the spoil.

ISA-9:4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the

staff of his

shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

ISA-9:5 For every battle of the warrior [is] with confused

noise, and

garments rolled in blood; but [this] shall be with burning [and]

fuel of fire.

ISA-9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:

and the

government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be

called Wonderful,

Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince

of Peace.

ISA-9:7 Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there

shall be] no

end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it,

and to

establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even

for ever. The

zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

ISA-9:8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted

upon Israel.

ISA-9:9 And all the people shall know, [even] Ephraim and the

inhabitant of

Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

ISA-9:10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with

hewn stones: the

sycamores are cut down, but we will change [them into] cedars.

ISA-9:11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of

Rezin against

him, and join his enemies together;

ISA-9:12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and

they shall

devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not

turned away, but

his hand [is] stretched out still.

ISA-9:13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them,

neither do

they seek the LORD of hosts.

ISA-9:14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and

tail, branch

and rush, in one day.

ISA-9:15 The ancient and honourable, he [is] the head; and the

prophet that

teacheth lies, he [is] the tail.

ISA-9:16 For the leaders of this people cause [them] to err;

and [they that

are] led of them [are] destroyed.

ISA-9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young

men, neither

shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one

[is] an

hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For

all this his

anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.

ISA-9:18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour

the briers and

thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they

shall mount

up [like] the lifting up of smoke.

ISA-9:19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land

darkened, and the

people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his

brother.

ISA-9:20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry;

and he shall

eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they

shall eat every

man the flesh of his own arm:

ISA-9:21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: [and] they

together [shall

be] against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away,

but his hand

[is] stretched out still.

ISA-10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and

that write

grievousness [which] they have prescribed;

ISA-10:2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take

away the right

from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and

[that] they may

rob the fatherless!

ISA-10:3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in

the desolation

[which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and

where will ye

leave your glory?

ISA-10:4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners,

and they shall

fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away,

but his hand

[is] stretched out still.

ISA-10:5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in

their hand is

mine indignation.

ISA-10:6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and

against the

people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil,

and to take

the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

ISA-10:7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart

think so; but [it

is] in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

ISA-10:8 For he saith, [Are] not my princes altogether kings?

ISA-10:9 [Is] not Calno as Carchemish? [is] not Hamath as

Arpad? [is] not

Samaria as Damascus?

ISA-10:10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and

whose graven

images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria:

ISA-10:11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her

idols, so do to

Jerusalem and her idols?

ISA-10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, [that] when the Lord

hath

performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I

will punish the

fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory

of his high

looks.

ISA-10:13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done

[it], and by

my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of

the people, and

have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants

like a

valiant [man]:

ISA-10:14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the

people: and as

one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the

earth; and there

was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

ISA-10:15 Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth

therewith? [or]

shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if

the rod should

shake [itself] against them that lift it up, [or] as if the

staff should lift

up [itself, as if it were] no wood.

ISA-10:16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send

among his fat

ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning

like the burning

of a fire.

ISA-10:17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his

Holy One for a

flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in

one day;

ISA-10:18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his

fruitful

field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a

standardbearer

fainteth.

ISA-10:19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few,

that a child

may write them.

ISA-10:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the

remnant of

Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no

more again

stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the

Holy One of

Israel, in truth.

ISA-10:21 The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob,

unto the

mighty God.

ISA-10:22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the

sea, [yet] a

remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall

overflow with

righteousness.

ISA-10:23 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption,

even

determined, in the midst of all the land.

ISA-10:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my

people that

dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite

thee with a

rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner

of Egypt.

ISA-10:25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation

shall cease, and

mine anger in their destruction.

ISA-10:26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him

according to

the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and [as] his rod

[was] upon the

sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

ISA-10:27 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his

burden shall be

taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck,

and the yoke

shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

ISA-10:28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at

Michmash he hath

laid up his carriages:

ISA-10:29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up

their lodging at

Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

ISA-10:30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to

be heard unto

Laish, O poor Anathoth.

ISA-10:31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather

themselves to

flee.

ISA-10:32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall

shake his hand

[against] the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of

Jerusalem.

ISA-10:33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the

bough with

terror: and the high ones of stature [shall be] hewn down, and

the haughty

shall be humbled.

ISA-10:34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with

iron, and

Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

ISA-11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of

Jesse, and a

Branch shall grow out of his roots:

ISA-11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the

spirit of wisdom

and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit

of knowledge

and of the fear of the LORD;

ISA-11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear

of the LORD:

and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither

reprove after the

hearing of his ears:

ISA-11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and

reprove with

equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth

with the rod of

his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the

wicked.

ISA-11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,

and faithfulness

the girdle of his reins.

ISA-11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the

leopard shall lie

down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the

fatling together;

and a little child shall lead them.

ISA-11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones

shall lie down

together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

ISA-11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the

asp, and the

weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

ISA-11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy

mountain: for the

earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters

cover the sea.

ISA-11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which

shall stand

for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and

his rest shall

be glorious.

ISA-11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the

Lord shall set

his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his

people, which

shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros,

and from Cush,

and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the

islands of the

sea.

ISA-11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and

shall assemble

the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of

Judah from the

four corners of the earth.

ISA-11:13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the

adversaries of Judah

shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall

not vex

Ephraim.

ISA-11:14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the

Philistines toward the

west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay

their hand

upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

ISA-11:15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the

Egyptian sea;

and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river,

and shall

smite it in the seven streams, and make [men] go over dryshod.

ISA-11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his

people, which

shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day

that he came

up out of the land of Egypt.

ISA-12:1 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise

thee: though

thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou

comfortedst me.

ISA-12:2 Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not

be afraid: for

the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is

become my

salvation.

ISA-12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the

wells of

salvation.

ISA-12:4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call

upon his name,

declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name

is exalted.

ISA-12:5 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things:

this [is]

known in all the earth.

ISA-12:6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great

[is] the Holy

One of Israel in the midst of thee.

ISA-13:1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz

did see.

ISA-13:2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the

voice unto

them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the

nobles.

ISA-13:3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also

called my mighty

ones for mine anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness.

ISA-13:4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of

a great

people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered

together: the

LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

ISA-13:5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven,

[even] the

LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole

land.

ISA-13:6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it

shall come as a

destruction from the Almighty.

ISA-13:7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's

heart shall

melt:

ISA-13:8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take

hold of them;

they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be

amazed one at

another; their faces [shall be as] flames.

ISA-13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with

wrath and fierce

anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the

sinners thereof out

of it.

ISA-13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations

thereof shall not

give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth,

and the moon

shall not cause her light to shine.

ISA-13:11 And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the

wicked for

their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to

cease, and will

lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

ISA-13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even

a man than the

golden wedge of Ophir.

ISA-13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth

shall remove out

of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day

of his fierce

anger.

ISA-13:14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep

that no man

taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee

every one

into his own land.

ISA-13:15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and

every one that

is joined [unto them] shall fall by the sword.

ISA-13:16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before

their eyes;

their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

ISA-13:17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which

shall not

regard silver; and [as for] gold, they shall not delight in it.

ISA-13:18 [Their] bows also shall dash the young men to pieces;

and they

shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not

spare

children.

ISA-13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the

Chaldees'

excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

ISA-13:20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be

dwelt in from

generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent

there; neither

shall the shepherds make their fold there.

ISA-13:21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and

their houses

shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there,

and satyrs

shall dance there.

ISA-13:22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their

desolate

houses, and dragons in [their] pleasant palaces: and her time

[is] near to

come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

ISA-14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet

choose Israel,

and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be

joined with them,

and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

ISA-14:2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to

their place: and

the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD

for servants

and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives

they were;

and they shall rule over their oppressors.

ISA-14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD

shall give thee

rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard

bondage wherein

thou wast made to serve.

ISA-14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king

of Babylon,

and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

ISA-14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, [and]

the sceptre of

the rulers.

ISA-14:6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual

stroke, he that

ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, [and] none hindereth.

ISA-14:7 The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break

forth into

singing.

ISA-14:8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, [and] the cedars

of Lebanon,

[saying], Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against

us.

ISA-14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at

thy coming: it

stirreth up the dead for thee, [even] all the chief ones of the

earth; it hath

raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

ISA-14:10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also

become weak

as we? art thou become like unto us?

ISA-14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, [and] the

noise of thy

viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

ISA-14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of

the morning!

[how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the

nations!

ISA-14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into

heaven, I

will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also

upon the mount of

the congregation, in the sides of the north:

ISA-14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will

be like the

most High.

ISA-14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides

of the pit.

ISA-14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,

[and] consider

thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble,

that did shake

kingdoms;

ISA-14:17 [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed

the cities

thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?

ISA-14:18 All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie

in glory,

every one in his own house.

ISA-14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable

branch, [and

as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a

sword, that go

down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

ISA-14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because

thou hast

destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of

evildoers shall never

be renowned.

ISA-14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity

of their

fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill

the face of the

world with cities.

ISA-14:22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of

hosts, and cut

off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew,

saith the LORD.

ISA-14:23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and

pools of

water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith

the LORD of

hosts.

ISA-14:24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I

have thought, so

shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, [so] shall it

stand:

ISA-14:25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon

my mountains

tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them,

and his burden

depart from off their shoulders.

ISA-14:26 This [is] the purpose that is purposed upon the whole

earth: and

this [is] the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

ISA-14:27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall

disannul [it]?

and his hand [is] stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

ISA-14:28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

ISA-14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of

him that

smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come

forth a

cockatrice, and his fruit [shall be] a fiery flying serpent.

ISA-14:30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the

needy shall lie

down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he

shall slay thy

remnant.

ISA-14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina,

[art] dissolved:

for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none [shall be]

alone in his

appointed times.

ISA-14:32 What shall [one] then answer the messengers of the

nation? That the

LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust

in it.

ISA-15:1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is

laid waste,

[and] brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is

laid waste,

[and] brought to silence;

ISA-15:2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places,

to weep:

Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads

[shall be]

baldness, [and] every beard cut off.

ISA-15:3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with

sackcloth: on the

tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl,

weeping

abundantly.

ISA-15:4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall

be heard

[even] unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall

cry out; his

life shall be grievous unto him.

ISA-15:5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives [shall

flee] unto

Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of

Luhith with

weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they

shall raise up a

cry of destruction.

ISA-15:6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the

hay is withered

away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

ISA-15:7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that

which they have

laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

ISA-15:8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab;

the howling

thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.

ISA-15:9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I

will bring

more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon

the remnant of

the land.

ISA-16:1 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to

the

wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

ISA-16:2 For it shall be, [that], as a wandering bird cast out

of the nest,

[so] the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

ISA-16:3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the

night in the

midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that

wandereth.

ISA-16:4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a

covert to them

from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end,

the spoiler

ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

ISA-16:5 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he

shall sit upon

it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking

judgment, and

hasting righteousness.

ISA-16:6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; [he is] very proud:

[even] of

his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: [but] his lies

[shall] not [be]

so.

ISA-16:7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall

howl: for the

foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely [they are]

stricken.

ISA-16:8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, [and] the vine of

Sibmah: the

lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants

thereof, they are

come [even] unto Jazer, they wandered [through] the wilderness:

her branches

are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

ISA-16:9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the

vine of

Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh:

for the

shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

ISA-16:10 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the

plentiful field; and

in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there

be shouting:

the treaders shall tread out no wine in [their] presses; I have

made [their

vintage] shouting to cease.

ISA-16:11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab,

and mine

inward parts for Kirharesh.

ISA-16:12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab

is weary on

the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but

he shall not

prevail.

ISA-16:13 This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken

concerning Moab since

that time.

ISA-16:14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three

years, as the

years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned,

with all that

great multitude; and the remnant [shall be] very small [and]

feeble.

ISA-17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away

from [being]

a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

ISA-17:2 The cities of Aroer [are] forsaken: they shall be for

flocks, which

shall lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid.

ISA-17:3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the

kingdom from

Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory

of the children

of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

ISA-17:4 And in that day it shall come to pass, [that] the

glory of Jacob

shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

ISA-17:5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the

corn, and

reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that

gathereth ears in

the valley of Rephaim.

ISA-17:6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the

shaking of an olive

tree, two [or] three berries in the top of the uppermost bough,

four [or] five

in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of

Israel.

ISA-17:7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his

eyes shall have

respect to the Holy One of Israel.

ISA-17:8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his

hands, neither

shall respect [that] which his fingers have made, either the

groves, or the

images.

ISA-17:9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken

bough, and an

uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of

Israel: and there

shall be desolation.

ISA-17:10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation,

and hast not

been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou

plant pleasant

plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

ISA-17:11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in

the morning

shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: [but] the harvest [shall

be] a heap in

the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

ISA-17:12 Woe to the multitude of many people, [which] make a

noise like the

noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, [that] make a

rushing like

the rushing of mighty waters!

ISA-17:13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many

waters: but [God]

shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be

chased as the

chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing

before the

whirlwind.

ISA-17:14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; [and] before the

morning he [is]

not. This [is] the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of

them that rob

us.

ISA-18:1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which [is]

beyond the rivers

of Ethiopia:

ISA-18:2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels

of bulrushes

upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation

scattered and

peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a

nation meted out

and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

ISA-18:3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the

earth, see ye,

when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he

bloweth a trumpet,

hear ye.

ISA-18:4 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and

I will

consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs,

[and] like a cloud

of dew in the heat of harvest.

ISA-18:5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and

the sour grape

is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with

pruning

hooks, and take away [and] cut down the branches.

ISA-18:6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the

mountains, and to

the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them,

and all the

beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

ISA-18:7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the

LORD of hosts of

a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from

their beginning

hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land

the rivers

have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the

mount Zion.

ISA-19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a

swift cloud, and

shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at

his presence,

and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

ISA-19:2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians:

and they shall

fight every one against his brother, and every one against his

neighbour; city

against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom.

ISA-19:3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst

thereof; and I will

destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols,

and to the

charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the

wizards.

ISA-19:4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a

cruel lord;

and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD

of hosts.

ISA-19:5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river

shall be

wasted and dried up.

ISA-19:6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; [and] the

brooks of defence

shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

ISA-19:7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the

brooks, and every

thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be

no [more].

ISA-19:8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast

angle into the

brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters

shall languish.

ISA-19:9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that

weave networks,

shall be confounded.

ISA-19:10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all

that make

sluices [and] ponds for fish.

ISA-19:11 Surely the princes of Zoan [are] fools, the counsel

of the wise

counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto

Pharaoh, I [am] the

son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

ISA-19:12 Where [are] they? where [are] thy wise [men]? and let

them tell

thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed

upon Egypt.

ISA-19:13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of

Noph are

deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, [even they that are] the

stay of the

tribes thereof.

ISA-19:14 The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst

thereof: and

they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a

drunken [man]

staggereth in his vomit.

ISA-19:15 Neither shall there be [any] work for Egypt, which

the head or

tail, branch or rush, may do.

ISA-19:16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it

shall be afraid

and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts,

which he

shaketh over it.

ISA-19:17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt,

every one that

maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of

the counsel of

the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

ISA-19:18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt

speak the

language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be

called, The

city of destruction.

ISA-19:19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in

the midst of the

land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

ISA-19:20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the

LORD of hosts

in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because

of the

oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one,

and he shall

deliver them.

ISA-19:21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the

Egyptians shall know

the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea,

they shall vow

a vow unto the LORD, and perform [it].

ISA-19:22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and

heal [it]: and

they shall return [even] to the LORD, and he shall be entreated

of them, and

shall heal them.

ISA-19:23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to

Assyria, and

the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into

Assyria, and the

Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

ISA-19:24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and

with Assyria,

[even] a blessing in the midst of the land:

ISA-19:25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed

[be] Egypt my

people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine

inheritance.

ISA-20:1 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod (when Sargon

the king of

Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

ISA-20:2 At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of

Amoz, saying,

Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy

shoe from thy

foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

ISA-20:3 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath

walked naked and

barefoot three years [for] a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon

Ethiopia;

ISA-20:4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians

prisoners, and

the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even

with [their]

buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

ISA-20:5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their

expectation,

and of Egypt their glory.

ISA-20:6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day,

Behold, such

[is] our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered

from the king

of Assyria: and how shall we escape?

ISA-21:1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in

the south pass

through; [so] it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

ISA-21:2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous

dealer

dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam:

besiege, O

Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

ISA-21:3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have

taken hold upon

me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at

the hearing

[of it]; I was dismayed at the seeing [of it].

ISA-21:4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night

of my pleasure

hath he turned into fear unto me.

ISA-21:5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink:

arise, ye

princes, [and] anoint the shield.

ISA-21:6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a

watchman, let him

declare what he seeth.

ISA-21:7 And he saw a chariot [with] a couple of horsemen, a

chariot of

asses, [and] a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently

with much heed:

ISA-21:8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually

upon the

watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

ISA-21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, [with] a

couple of

horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen;

and all the

graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

ISA-21:10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which

I have heard

of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto

you.

ISA-21:11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir,

Watchman, what

of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

ISA-21:12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the

night: if ye

will inquire, inquire ye: return, come.

ISA-21:13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall

ye lodge, O

ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

ISA-21:14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to

him that was

thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

ISA-21:15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,

and from the

bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

ISA-21:16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year,

according to

the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:

ISA-21:17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty

men of the

children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of

Israel hath spoken

[it].

ISA-22:1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee

now, that thou

art wholly gone up to the housetops?

ISA-22:2 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a

joyous city: thy

slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

ISA-22:3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by

the archers: all

that are found in thee are bound together, [which] have fled

from far.

ISA-22:4 Therefore said I, Look away from me: I will weep

bitterly, labour

not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my

people.

ISA-22:5 For [it is] a day of trouble, and of treading down,

and of

perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision,

breaking down the

walls, and of crying to the mountains.

ISA-22:6 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men [and]

horsemen, and

Kir uncovered the shield.

ISA-22:7 And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest valleys

shall be full

of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at

the gate.

ISA-22:8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou

didst look in that

day to the armour of the house of the forest.

ISA-22:9 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David,

that they are

many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

ISA-22:10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the

houses have

ye broken down to fortify the wall.

ISA-22:11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the

water of the old

pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had

respect unto

him that fashioned it long ago.

ISA-22:12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to

weeping, and to

mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

ISA-22:13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and

killing sheep,

eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to

morrow we shall

die.

ISA-22:14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts,

Surely this

iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the

Lord GOD of

hosts.

ISA-22:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto

this treasurer,

[even] unto Shebna, which [is] over the house, [and say],

ISA-22:16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that

thou hast hewed

thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth him out a

sepulchre on high,

[and] that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

ISA-22:17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty

captivity, and

will surely cover thee.

ISA-22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a

ball into a

large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of

thy glory

[shall be] the shame of thy lord's house.

ISA-22:19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy

state shall he

pull thee down.

ISA-22:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will

call my servant

Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

ISA-22:21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen

him with thy

girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he

shall be a

father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of

Judah.

ISA-22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his

shoulder; so

he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none

shall open.

ISA-22:23 And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place;

and he shall be

for a glorious throne to his father's house.

ISA-22:24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his

father's house,

the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from

the vessels

of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

ISA-22:25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail

that is

fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall;

and the

burden that [was] upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath

spoken [it].

ISA-23:1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it

is laid

waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land

of Chittim it

is revealed to them.

ISA-23:2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the

merchants of

Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

ISA-23:3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of

the river,

[is] her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.

ISA-23:4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken,

[even] the

strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth

children, neither

do I nourish up young men, [nor] bring up virgins.

ISA-23:5 As at the report concerning Egypt, [so] shall they be

sorely pained

at the report of Tyre.

ISA-23:6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the

isle.

ISA-23:7 [Is] this your joyous [city], whose antiquity [is] of

ancient days?

her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

ISA-23:8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning

[city], whose

merchants [are] princes, whose traffickers [are] the honourable

of the earth?

ISA-23:9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride

of all glory,

[and] to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

ISA-23:10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of

Tarshish: [there

is] no more strength.

ISA-23:11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the

kingdoms: the

LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant [city], to

destroy the

strong holds thereof.

ISA-23:12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou

oppressed virgin,

daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt

thou have no

rest.

ISA-23:13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not,

[till] the

Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they

set up the

towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; [and] he

brought it to

ruin.

ISA-23:14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid

waste.

ISA-23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre

shall be forgotten

seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end

of seventy

years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.

ISA-23:16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that

hast been

forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest

be remembered.

ISA-23:17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy

years, that the

LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall

commit

fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of

the earth.

ISA-23:18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to

the LORD: it

shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be

for them that

dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable

clothing.

ISA-24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it

waste, and

turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants

thereof.

ISA-24:2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the

priest; as with the

servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her

mistress; as with

the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the

borrower; as

with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

ISA-24:3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled:

for the LORD

hath spoken this word.

ISA-24:4 The earth mourneth [and] fadeth away, the world

languisheth [and]

fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

ISA-24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants

thereof; because

they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken

the everlasting

covenant.

ISA-24:6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they

that dwell

therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are

burned, and

few men left.

ISA-24:7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the

merryhearted do

sigh.

ISA-24:8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that

rejoice endeth,

the joy of the harp ceaseth.

ISA-24:9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink

shall be bitter

to them that drink it.

ISA-24:10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is

shut up, that

no man may come in.

ISA-24:11 [There is] a crying for wine in the streets; all joy

is darkened,

the mirth of the land is gone.

ISA-24:12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is

smitten with

destruction.

ISA-24:13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among

the people,

[there shall be] as the shaking of an olive tree, [and] as the

gleaning grapes

when the vintage is done.

ISA-24:14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for

the majesty of

the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

ISA-24:15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, [even]

the name of the

LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

ISA-24:16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard

songs, [even]

glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness,

woe unto me! the

treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the

treacherous dealers

have dealt very treacherously.

ISA-24:17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [are] upon thee, O

inhabitant of

the earth.

ISA-24:18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from

the noise of

the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of

the midst of

the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on

high are open,

and the foundations of the earth do shake.

ISA-24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean

dissolved, the

earth is moved exceedingly.

ISA-24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and

shall be

removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be

heavy upon it;

and it shall fall, and not rise again.

ISA-24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the

LORD shall punish

the host of the high ones [that are] on high, and the kings of

the earth upon

the earth.

ISA-24:22 And they shall be gathered together, [as] prisoners

are gathered in

the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days

shall they be

visited.

ISA-24:23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun

ashamed, when the

LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and

before his

ancients gloriously.

ISA-25:1 O LORD, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee, I will

praise thy

name; for thou hast done wonderful [things; thy] counsels of old

[are]

faithfulness [and] truth.

ISA-25:2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; [of] a defenced

city a ruin: a

palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

ISA-25:3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the

city of the

terrible nations shall fear thee.

ISA-25:4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength

to the needy

in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat,

when the

blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall.

ISA-25:5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the

heat in a dry

place; [even] the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of

the terrible

ones shall be brought low.

ISA-25:6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto

all people a

feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things

full of

marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

ISA-25:7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the

covering cast

over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.

ISA-25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD

will wipe away

tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he

take away from

off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken [it].

ISA-25:9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our

God; we have

waited for him, and he will save us: this [is] the LORD; we have

waited for

him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

ISA-25:10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest,

and Moab

shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down

for the

dunghill.

ISA-25:11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of

them, as he

that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he shall

bring down

their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

ISA-25:12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall

he bring down,

lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust.

ISA-26:1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of

Judah; We have a

strong city; salvation will [God] appoint [for] walls and

bulwarks.

ISA-26:2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which

keepeth the truth

may enter in.

ISA-26:3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind

[is] stayed [on

thee]: because he trusteth in thee.

ISA-26:4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH

[is]

everlasting strength:

ISA-26:5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the

lofty city, he

layeth it low; he layeth it low, [even] to the ground; he

bringeth it [even]

to the dust.

ISA-26:6 The foot shall tread it down, [even] the feet of the

poor, [and] the

steps of the needy.

ISA-26:7 The way of the just [is] uprightness: thou, most

upright, dost weigh

the path of the just.

ISA-26:8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we

waited for thee;

the desire of [our] soul [is] to thy name, and to the

remembrance of thee.

ISA-26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea,

with my spirit

within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments [are]

in the earth,

the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

ISA-26:10 Let favour be showed to the wicked, [yet] will he not

learn

righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly,

and will not

behold the majesty of the LORD.

ISA-26:11 LORD, [when] thy hand is lifted up, they will not see:

[but] they

shall see, and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yea,

the fire of

thine enemies shall devour them.

ISA-26:12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also

hast wrought all

our works in us.

ISA-26:13 O LORD our God, [other] lords beside thee have had

dominion over

us: [but] by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

ISA-26:14 [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are]

deceased, they

shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them,

and made all

their memory to perish.

ISA-26:15 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast

increased the

nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed [it] far [unto]

all the ends of

the earth.

ISA-26:16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured

out a prayer

[when] thy chastening [was] upon them.

ISA-26:17 Like as a woman with child, [that] draweth near the

time of her

delivery, is in pain, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we

been in thy

sight, O LORD.

ISA-26:18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we

have as it were

brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the

earth; neither

have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

ISA-26:19 Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead

body shall they

arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is

as] the dew of

herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

ISA-26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and

shut thy doors

about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until

the indignation

be overpast.

ISA-26:21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to

punish the

inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also

shall disclose her

blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

ISA-27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and

strong sword shall

punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that

crooked serpent;

and he shall slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.

ISA-27:2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

ISA-27:3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment:

lest [any] hurt

it, I will keep it night and day.

ISA-27:4 Fury [is] not in me: who would set the briers [and]

thorns against

me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them

together.

ISA-27:5 Or let him take hold of my strength, [that] he may

make peace with

me; [and] he shall make peace with me.

ISA-27:6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root:

Israel shall

blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

ISA-27:7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him?

[or] is he

slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

ISA-27:8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate

with it: he

stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

ISA-27:9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be

purged; and this

[is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the

stones of the

altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and

images shall

not stand up.

ISA-27:10 Yet the defenced city [shall be] desolate, [and] the

habitation

forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed,

and there

shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

ISA-27:11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be

broken off: the

women come, [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no

understanding:

therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he

that formed

them will show them no favour.

ISA-27:12 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the

LORD shall beat

off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and

ye shall be

gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

ISA-27:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the

great trumpet

shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish

in the land of

Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall

worship the LORD in

the holy mount at Jerusalem.

ISA-28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim,

whose

glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of

the fat

valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

ISA-28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which]

as a tempest

of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters

overflowing,

shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

ISA-28:3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be

trodden under

feet:

ISA-28:4 And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the

fat valley,

shall be a fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the

summer; which

[when] he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his

hand he eateth it

up.

ISA-28:5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of

glory, and for

a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

ISA-28:6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in

judgment, and

for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

ISA-28:7 But they also have erred through wine, and through

strong drink are

out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through

strong drink,

they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through

strong drink;

they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.

ISA-28:8 For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so

that there

is] no place [clean].

ISA-28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make

to understand

doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from

the breasts.

ISA-28:10 For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon

precept; line upon

line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:

ISA-28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he

speak to this

people.

ISA-28:12 To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye

may cause the

weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not

hear.

ISA-28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon

precept,

precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a

little, [and]

there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be

broken, and

snared, and taken.

ISA-28:14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men,

that rule

this people which [is] in Jerusalem.

ISA-28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with

death, and with

hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall

pass through, it

shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and

under falsehood

have we hid ourselves:

ISA-28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in

Zion for a

foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a

sure

foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

ISA-28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and

righteousness to the

plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and

the waters

shall overflow the hiding place.

ISA-28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled,

and your

agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing

scourge shall pass

through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

ISA-28:19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you:

for morning by

morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be

a vexation

only [to] understand the report.

ISA-28:20 For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch

himself [on

it]: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in

it].

ISA-28:21 For the LORD shall rise up as [in] mount Perazim, he

shall be wroth

as [in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his

strange work; and

bring to pass his act, his strange act.

ISA-28:22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be

made strong:

for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even

determined

upon the whole earth.

ISA-28:23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my

speech.

ISA-28:24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open

and break the

clods of his ground?

ISA-28:25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not

cast abroad

the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal

wheat and the

appointed barley and the rie in their place?

ISA-28:26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and]

doth teach him.

ISA-28:27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing

instrument,

neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the

fitches are

beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

ISA-28:28 Bread [corn] is bruised; because he will not ever be

threshing it,

nor break [it with] the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it [with]

his horsemen.

ISA-28:29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts,

[which] is wonderful

in counsel, [and] excellent in working.

ISA-29:1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city [where] David dwelt!

add ye year to

year; let them kill sacrifices.

ISA-29:2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be

heaviness and sorrow:

and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

ISA-29:3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay

siege against

thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

ISA-29:4 And thou shalt be brought down, [and] shalt speak out

of the ground,

and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall

be, as of one

that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech

shall whisper

out of the dust.

ISA-29:5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like

small dust,

and the multitude of the terrible ones [shall be] as chaff that

passeth away:

yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

ISA-29:6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with

thunder, and with

earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the

flame of

devouring fire.

ISA-29:7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight

against Ariel, even

all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress

her, shall be

as a dream of a night vision.

ISA-29:8 It shall even be as when an hungry [man] dreameth, and,

behold, he

eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a

thirsty man

dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold,

[he is]

faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all

the nations

be, that fight against mount Zion.

ISA-29:9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they

are drunken,

but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

ISA-29:10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of

deep sleep, and

hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers

hath he

covered.

ISA-29:11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words

of a book

that is sealed, which [men] deliver to one that is learned,

saying, Read this,

I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it [is] sealed:

ISA-29:12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned,

saying, Read

this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

ISA-29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people

draw near [me]

with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have

removed their

heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the

precept of men:

ISA-29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous

work among

this people, [even] a marvellous work and a wonder: for the

wisdom of their

wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent

[men] shall be

hid.

ISA-29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel

from the LORD,

and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and

who knoweth

us?

ISA-29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be

esteemed as the

potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He

made me not? or

shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no

understanding?

ISA-29:17 [Is] it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon

shall be turned

into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed

as a forest?

ISA-29:18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the

book, and the

eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of

darkness.

ISA-29:19 The meek also shall increase [their] joy in the LORD,

and the poor

among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

ISA-29:20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the

scorner is

consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

ISA-29:21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a

snare for him

that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing

of nought.

ISA-29:22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham,

concerning the

house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall

his face now wax

pale.

ISA-29:23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine

hands, in the

midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy

One of Jacob,

and shall fear the God of Israel.

ISA-29:24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to

understanding, and

they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

ISA-30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that

take counsel,

but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my

spirit, that they

may add sin to sin:

ISA-30:2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at

my mouth; to

strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust

in the shadow

of Egypt!

ISA-30:3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame,

and the trust

in the shadow of Egypt [your] confusion.

ISA-30:4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came

to Hanes.

ISA-30:5 They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not

profit them, nor

be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

ISA-30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land

of trouble and

anguish, from whence [come] the young and old lion, the viper

and fiery flying

serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of

young asses, and

their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [that]

shall not

profit [them].

ISA-30:7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no

purpose: therefore

have I cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit still.

ISA-30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it

in a book, that

it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

ISA-30:9 That this [is] a rebellious people, lying children,

children [that]

will not hear the law of the LORD:

ISA-30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets,

Prophesy not

unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy

deceits:

ISA-30:11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path,

cause the Holy

One of Israel to cease from before us.

ISA-30:12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because

ye despise

this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay

thereon:

ISA-30:13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach

ready to fall,

swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at

an instant.

ISA-30:14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters'

vessel that

is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not

be found in

the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to

take water

[withal] out of the pit.

ISA-30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel;

In returning

and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall

be your

strength: and ye would not.

ISA-30:16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses;

therefore shall ye

flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they

that pursue you

be swift.

ISA-30:17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at

the rebuke of

five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of

a mountain,

and as an ensign on an hill.

ISA-30:18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be

gracious unto you,

and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon

you: for the

LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait

for him.

ISA-30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou

shalt weep no

more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry;

when he

shall hear it, he will answer thee.

ISA-30:20 And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity,

and the

water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into

a corner any

more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

ISA-30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying,

This [is] the

way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye

turn to the

left.

ISA-30:22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven

images of silver,

and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast

them away as a

menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

ISA-30:23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou

shalt sow the

ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it

shall be fat and

plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

ISA-30:24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the

ground shall eat

clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and

with the fan.

ISA-30:25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon

every high

hill, rivers [and] streams of waters in the day of the great

slaughter, when

the towers fall.

ISA-30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light

of the sun,

and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of

seven days, in

the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and

healeth the

stroke of their wound.

ISA-30:27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning

[with] his

anger, and the burden [thereof is] heavy: his lips are full of

indignation,

and his tongue as a devouring fire:

ISA-30:28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach

to the midst

of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and

[there shall

be] a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to err.

ISA-30:29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when] a holy

solemnity is

kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to

come into the

mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

ISA-30:30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be

heard, and shall

show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his]

anger, and

[with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and

tempest, and

hailstones.

ISA-30:31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian

be beaten

down, [which] smote with a rod.

ISA-30:32 And [in] every place where the grounded staff shall

pass, which the

LORD shall lay upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets and harps:

and in battles

of shaking will he fight with it.

ISA-30:33 For Tophet [is] ordained of old; yea, for the king it

is prepared;

he hath made [it] deep [and] large: the pile thereof [is] fire

and much wood;

the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle

it.

ISA-31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay

on horses, and

trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen,

because they are

very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel,

neither seek the

LORD!

ISA-31:2 Yet he also [is] wise, and will bring evil, and will

not call back

his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers,

and against the

help of them that work iniquity.

ISA-31:3 Now the Egyptians [are] men, and not God; and their

horses flesh,

and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both

he that helpeth

shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all

shall fail

together.

ISA-31:4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the

lion and the

young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is

called forth

against him, [he] will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase

himself for the

noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for

mount Zion,

and for the hill thereof.

ISA-31:5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend

Jerusalem;

defending also he will deliver [it; and] passing over he will

preserve it.

ISA-31:6 Turn ye unto [him from] whom the children of Israel

have deeply

revolted.

ISA-31:7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of

silver, and

his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you [for]

a sin.

ISA-31:8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a

mighty man;

and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall

flee from the

sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

ISA-31:9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear,

and his princes

shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire [is]

in Zion, and

his furnace in Jerusalem.

ISA-32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and

princes shall rule

in judgment.

ISA-32:2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind,

and a covert

from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the

shadow of a great

rock in a weary land.

ISA-32:3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and

the ears of them

that hear shall hearken.

ISA-32:4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge,

and the

tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

ISA-32:5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor

the churl said

[to be] bountiful.

ISA-32:6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart

will work

iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the

LORD, to make

empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the

thirsty to

fail.

ISA-32:7 The instruments also of the churl [are] evil: he

deviseth wicked

devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the

needy speaketh

right.

ISA-32:8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by

liberal things shall

he stand.

ISA-32:9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye

careless

daughters; give ear unto my speech.

ISA-32:10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless

women: for

the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

ISA-32:11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye

careless ones:

strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your]

loins.

ISA-32:12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant

fields, for the

fruitful vine.

ISA-32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and]

briers; yea,

upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:

ISA-32:14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude

of the city

shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever,

a joy of wild

asses, a pasture of flocks;

ISA-32:15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and

the wilderness

be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a

forest.

ISA-32:16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and

righteousness

remain in the fruitful field.

ISA-32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the

effect of

righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

ISA-32:18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation,

and in sure

dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

ISA-32:19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and

the city shall

be low in a low place.

ISA-32:20 Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that

send forth

[thither] the feet of the ox and the ass.

ISA-33:1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou [wast] not spoiled;

and dealest

treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when

thou shalt

cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; [and] when thou shalt

make an end to

deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

ISA-33:2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee:

be thou their

arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

ISA-33:3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the

lifting up of

thyself the nations were scattered.

ISA-33:4 And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering

of the

caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run

upon them.

ISA-33:5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath

filled Zion

with judgment and righteousness.

ISA-33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy

times, [and]

strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.

ISA-33:7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the

ambassadors of

peace shall weep bitterly.

ISA-33:8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he

hath broken

the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

ISA-33:9 The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is

ashamed [and] hewn

down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake

off [their

fruits].

ISA-33:10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be

exalted; now will I

lift up myself.

ISA-33:11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble:

your breath,

[as] fire, shall devour you.

ISA-33:12 And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime:

[as] thorns cut

up shall they be burned in the fire.

ISA-33:13 Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done; and,

ye [that are]

near, acknowledge my might.

ISA-33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath

surprised the

hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?

who among us

shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

ISA-33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;

he that

despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from

holding of

bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and

shutteth his eyes

from seeing evil;

ISA-33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence [shall

be] the

munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall

be] sure.

ISA-33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they

shall behold the

land that is very far off.

ISA-33:18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the

scribe? where

[is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers?

ISA-33:19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a

deeper speech

than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou

canst] not

understand.

ISA-33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine

eyes shall see

Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be

taken down; not

one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall

any of the

cords thereof be broken.

ISA-33:21 But there the glorious LORD [will be] unto us a place

of broad

rivers [and] streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars,

neither shall

gallant ship pass thereby.

ISA-33:22 For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our

lawgiver, the LORD

[is] our king; he will save us.

ISA-33:23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well

strengthen their

mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a

great spoil

divided; the lame take the prey.

ISA-33:24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the

people that dwell

therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.

ISA-34:1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people:

let the

earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things

that come forth

of it.

ISA-34:2 For the indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations,

and [his]

fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he

hath delivered

them to the slaughter.

ISA-34:3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink

shall come up

out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with

their blood.

ISA-34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the

heavens shall

be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall

down, as the

leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the

fig tree.

ISA-34:5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it

shall come down

upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

ISA-34:6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made

fat with

fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat

of the kidneys

of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great

slaughter in the

land of Idumea.

ISA-34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the

bullocks with

the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their

dust made fat

with fatness.

ISA-34:8 For [it is] the day of the LORD's vengeance, [and] the

year of

recompenses for the controversy of Zion.

ISA-34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch,

and the dust

thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become

burning pitch.

ISA-34:10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke

thereof shall go

up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste;

none shall pass

through it for ever and ever.

ISA-34:11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it;

the owl also

and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon

it the line of

confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

ISA-34:12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom,

but none [shall

be] there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

ISA-34:13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and

brambles in

the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons,

[and] a

court for owls.

ISA-34:14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with

the wild beasts

of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the

screech owl also

shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

ISA-34:15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and

hatch, and

gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be

gathered, every one

with her mate.

ISA-34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one

of these

shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath

commanded, and his

spirit it hath gathered them.

ISA-34:17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath

divided it

unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from

generation to

generation shall they dwell therein.

ISA-35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad

for them; and

the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

ISA-35:2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy

and singing:

the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of

Carmel and

Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the

excellency of our God.

ISA-35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble

knees.

ISA-35:4 Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong,

fear not:

behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a

recompense;

he will come and save you.

ISA-35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the

ears of the deaf

shall be unstopped.

ISA-35:6 Then shall the lame [man] leap as an hart, and the

tongue of the

dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and

streams in the

desert.

ISA-35:7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the

thirsty land

springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay,

[shall be]

grass with reeds and rushes.

ISA-35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall

be called The

way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it

[shall be] for

those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err [therein].

ISA-35:9 No lion shall be there, nor [any] ravenous beast shall

go up

thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall

walk [there]:

ISA-35:10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come

to Zion with

songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain

joy and

gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

ISA-36:1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king

Hezekiah, [that]

Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced

cities of Judah,

and took them.

ISA-36:2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to

Jerusalem

unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the

conduit of the upper

pool in the highway of the fuller's field.

ISA-36:3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which

was over the

house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the

recorder.

ISA-36:4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah,

Thus saith the

great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence [is] this

wherein thou

trustest?

ISA-36:5 I say, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain words)

[I have]

counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that

thou rebellest

against me?

ISA-36:6 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on

Egypt;

whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it:

so [is]

Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

ISA-36:7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God:

[is it] not he,

whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and

said to Judah

and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

ISA-36:8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master

the king of

Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be

able on thy part

to set riders upon them.

ISA-36:9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain

of the least of

my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots

and for

horsemen?

ISA-36:10 And am I now come up without the LORD against this

land to destroy

it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy

it.

ISA-36:11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh,

Speak, I pray

thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we

understand [it]; and

speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people

that [are] on

the wall.

ISA-36:12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy

master and to

thee to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men

that sit upon

the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own

piss with you?

ISA-36:13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in

the Jews'

language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the

king of Assyria.

ISA-36:14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you:

for he shall not

be able to deliver you.

ISA-36:15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD,

saying, The LORD

will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into

the hand of the

king of Assyria.

ISA-36:16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of

Assyria, Make

[an agreement] with me [by] a present, and come out to me: and

eat ye every

one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye

every one the

waters of his own cistern;

ISA-36:17 Until I come and take you away to a land like your

own land, a land

of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

ISA-36:18 [Beware] lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD

will deliver

us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out

of the hand of

the king of Assyria?

ISA-36:19 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where

[are] the gods of

Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

ISA-36:20 Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands,

that have

delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should

deliver Jerusalem

out of my hand?

ISA-36:21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a

word: for the

king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

ISA-36:22 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that [was]

over the

household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph,

the recorder, to

Hezekiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of

Rabshakeh.

ISA-37:1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it],

that he rent his

clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the

house of the

LORD.

ISA-37:2 And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and

Shebna the

scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth,

unto Isaiah the

prophet the son of Amoz.

ISA-37:3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day

[is] a day of

trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are

come to the

birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.

ISA-37:4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of

Rabshakeh, whom

the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living

God, and will

reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore

lift up [thy]

prayer for the remnant that is left.

ISA-37:5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

ISA-37:6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your

master, Thus

saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard,

wherewith the

servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

ISA-37:7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall

hear a rumour,

and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the

sword in his

own land.

ISA-37:8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria

warring against

Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

ISA-37:9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia,

He is come

forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent

messengers to

Hezekiah, saying,

ISA-37:10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying,

Let not thy

God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem

shall not be given

into the hand of the king of Assyria.

ISA-37:11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria

have done to all

lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?

ISA-37:12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my

fathers have

destroyed, [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children

of Eden which

[were] in Telassar?

ISA-37:13 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad,

and the king

of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

ISA-37:14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the

messengers,

and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD,

and spread it

before the LORD.

ISA-37:15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,

ISA-37:16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest

[between] the

cherubims, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the

kingdoms of the

earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

ISA-37:17 Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes,

O LORD, and

see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to

reproach the

living God.

ISA-37:18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid

waste all the

nations, and their countries.

ISA-37:19 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they

[were] no gods,

but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have

destroyed

them.

ISA-37:20 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand,

that all the

kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD, [even]

thou only.

ISA-37:21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah,

saying, Thus saith

the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against

Sennacherib

king of Assyria:

ISA-37:22 This [is] the word which the LORD hath spoken

concerning him; The

virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, [and] laughed

thee to scorn;

the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

ISA-37:23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against

whom hast

thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high?

[even] against the

Holy One of Israel.

ISA-37:24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and

hast said, By

the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the

mountains, to

the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars

thereof, [and] the

choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of

his border,

[and] the forest of his Carmel.

ISA-37:25 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of

my feet have I

dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

ISA-37:26 Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have done it;

[and] of

ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to

pass, that thou

shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities [into] ruinous heaps.

ISA-37:27 Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power,

they were

dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field,

and [as] the

green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and [as corn]

blasted before it

be grown up.

ISA-37:28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy

coming in, and thy

rage against me.

ISA-37:29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come

up into mine

ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in

thy lips, and

I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

ISA-37:30 And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat

[this] year such

as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth

of the same:

and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and

eat the fruit

thereof.

ISA-37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah

shall again

take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

ISA-37:32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and

they that escape

out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

ISA-37:33 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of

Assyria, He

shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor

come before it

with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

ISA-37:34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return,

and shall not

come into this city, saith the LORD.

ISA-37:35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own

sake, and for

my servant David's sake.

ISA-37:36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in

the camp of the

Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when

they arose early

in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.

ISA-37:37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and

returned, and

dwelt at Nineveh.

ISA-37:38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the

house of Nisroch

his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with

the sword; and

they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son

reigned in his

stead.

ISA-38:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah

the prophet

the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the

LORD, Set

thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

ISA-38:2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and

prayed unto the

LORD,

ISA-38:3 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I

have walked

before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done

[that which is]

good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

ISA-38:4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,

ISA-38:5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God

of David thy

father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold,

I will add

unto thy days fifteen years.

ISA-38:6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand

of the king of

Assyria: and I will defend this city.

ISA-38:7 And this [shall be] a sign unto thee from the LORD,

that the LORD

will do this thing that he hath spoken;

ISA-38:8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees,

which is gone

down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun

returned ten

degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

ISA-38:9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had

been sick, and

was recovered of his sickness:

ISA-38:10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to

the gates of

the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

ISA-38:11 I said, I shall not see the LORD, [even] the LORD, in

the land of

the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of

the world.

ISA-38:12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a

shepherd's tent:

I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with

pining sickness:

from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.

ISA-38:13 I reckoned till morning, [that], as a lion, so will

he break all my

bones: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.

ISA-38:14 Like a crane [or] a swallow, so did I chatter: I did

mourn as a

dove: mine eyes fail [with looking] upward: O LORD, I am

oppressed; undertake

for me.

ISA-38:15 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and

himself hath

done [it]: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of

my soul.

ISA-38:16 O Lord, by these [things men] live, and in all these

[things is]

the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to

live.

ISA-38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou

hast in love to

my soul [delivered it] from the pit of corruption: for thou hast

cast all my

sins behind thy back.

ISA-38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can [not]

celebrate thee:

they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

ISA-38:19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I

[do] this day:

the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

ISA-38:20 The LORD [was ready] to save me: therefore we will

sing my songs to

the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house

of the LORD.

ISA-38:21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs,

and lay [it] for

a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.

ISA-38:22 Hezekiah also had said, What [is] the sign that I

shall go up to

the house of the LORD?

ISA-39:1 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king

of Babylon,

sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he

had been

sick, and was recovered.

ISA-39:2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the

house of his

precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and

the precious

ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was

found in his

treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his

dominion, that

Hezekiah showed them not.

ISA-39:3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and

said unto him,

What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And

Hezekiah said,

They are come from a far country unto me, [even] from Babylon.

ISA-39:4 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And

Hezekiah

answered, All that [is] in mine house have they seen: there is

nothing among

my treasures that I have not showed them.

ISA-39:5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the

LORD of hosts:

ISA-39:6 Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in thine

house, and [that]

which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be

carried to

Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

ISA-39:7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou

shalt beget,

shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of

the king of

Babylon.

ISA-39:8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good [is] the word of

the LORD which

thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and

truth in my

days.

ISA-40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

ISA-40:2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,

that her

warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she

hath received

of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.

ISA-40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,

Prepare ye the way

of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

ISA-40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and

hill shall be

made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough

places plain:

ISA-40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all

flesh shall see

[it] together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].

ISA-40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry?

All flesh [is]

grass, and all the goodliness thereof [is] as the flower of the

field:

ISA-40:7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the

spirit of the

LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.

ISA-40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word

of our God

shall stand for ever.

ISA-40:9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into

the high

mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy

voice with

strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of

Judah, Behold

your God!

ISA-40:10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong [hand],

and his arm

shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his

work before him.

ISA-40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall

gather the lambs

with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently

lead those

that are with young.

ISA-40:12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his

hand, and meted

out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth

in a measure,

and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

ISA-40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being]

his counsellor

hath taught him?

ISA-40:14 With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him,

and taught him

in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to

him the way

of understanding?

ISA-40:15 Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and

are counted as

the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as

a very little

thing.

ISA-40:16 And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the

beasts thereof

sufficient for a burnt offering.

ISA-40:17 All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are

counted to

him less than nothing, and vanity.

ISA-40:18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will

ye compare

unto him?

ISA-40:19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith

spreadeth it

over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

ISA-40:20 He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation

chooseth a

tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman

to prepare a

graven image, [that] shall not be moved.

ISA-40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not

been told you

from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations

of the earth?

ISA-40:22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth,

and the

inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out

the heavens as

a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

ISA-40:23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the

judges of the

earth as vanity.

ISA-40:24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not

be sown: yea,

their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also

blow upon

them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them

away as

stubble.

ISA-40:25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal?

saith the Holy

One.

ISA-40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath

created these

[things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth

them all by names

by the greatness of his might, for that [he is] strong in power;

not one

faileth.

ISA-40:27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My

way is hid

from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

ISA-40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the

everlasting

God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth

not, neither is

weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.

ISA-40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have]

no might he

increaseth strength.

ISA-40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the

young men shall

utterly fall:

ISA-40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their]

strength; they

shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be

weary; [and]

they shall walk, and not faint.

ISA-41:1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people

renew [their]

strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come

near together

to judgment.

ISA-41:2 Who raised up the righteous [man] from the east,

called him to his

foot, gave the nations before him, and made [him] rule over

kings? he gave

[them] as the dust to his sword, [and] as driven stubble to his

bow.

ISA-41:3 He pursued them, [and] passed safely; [even] by the

way [that] he

had not gone with his feet.

ISA-41:4 Who hath wrought and done [it], calling the

generations from the

beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I [am] he.

ISA-41:5 The isles saw [it], and feared; the ends of the earth

were afraid,

drew near, and came.

ISA-41:6 They helped every one his neighbour; and [every one]

said to his

brother, Be of good courage.

ISA-41:7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, [and] he

that smootheth

[with] the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It [is]

ready for the

soldering: and he fastened it with nails, [that] it should not

be moved.

ISA-41:8 But thou, Israel, [art] my servant, Jacob whom I have

chosen, the

seed of Abraham my friend.

ISA-41:9 [Thou] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,

and called thee

from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou [art] my

servant; I have

chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

ISA-41:10 Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed;

for I [am]

thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I

will uphold

thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

ISA-41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee

shall be ashamed

and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive

with thee shall

perish.

ISA-41:12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even]

them that

contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as

nothing, and as a

thing of nought.

ISA-41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand,

saying unto thee,

Fear not; I will help thee.

ISA-41:14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I

will help

thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

ISA-41:15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing

instrument having

teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat [them] small,

and shalt make

the hills as chaff.

ISA-41:16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them

away, and the

whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD,

[and] shalt

glory in the Holy One of Israel.

ISA-41:17 [When] the poor and needy seek water, and [there is]

none, [and]

their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I

the God of

Israel will not forsake them.

ISA-41:18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in

the midst of

the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the

dry land

springs of water.

ISA-41:19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah

tree, and the

myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree,

[and] the

pine, and the box tree together:

ISA-41:20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and

understand together,

that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of

Israel hath

created it.

ISA-41:21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your

strong

[reasons], saith the King of Jacob.

ISA-41:22 Let them bring [them] forth, and show us what shall

happen: let

them show the former things, what they [be], that we may

consider them, and

know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

ISA-41:23 Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we

may know that

ye [are] gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed,

and behold

[it] together.

ISA-41:24 Behold, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought:

abomination [is he that] chooseth you.

ISA-41:25 I have raised up [one] from the north, and he shall

come: from the

rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come

upon princes

as [upon] mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay.

ISA-41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may

know? and

beforetime, that we may say, [He is] righteous? yea, [there is]

none that

showeth, yea, [there is] none that declareth, yea, [there is]

none that

heareth your words.

ISA-41:27 The first [shall say] to Zion, Behold, behold them:

and I will give

to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

ISA-41:28 For I beheld, and [there was] no man; even among them,

and [there

was] no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a

word.

ISA-41:29 Behold, they [are] all vanity; their works [are]

nothing: their

molten images [are] wind and confusion.

ISA-42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, [in

whom] my soul

delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth

judgment to

the Gentiles.

ISA-42:2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to

be heard in

the street.

ISA-42:3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking

flax shall he not

quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

ISA-42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set

judgment in

the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

ISA-42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens,

and stretched

them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh

out of it; he

that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them

that walk

therein:

ISA-42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will

hold thine

hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the

people, for a

light of the Gentiles;

ISA-42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners

from the prison,

[and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

ISA-42:8 I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will

I not give to

another, neither my praise to graven images.

ISA-42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new

things do I

declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

ISA-42:10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and] his praise from

the end of the

earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the

isles, and the

inhabitants thereof.

ISA-42:11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up

[their voice],

the villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of

the rock sing,

let them shout from the top of the mountains.

ISA-42:12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his

praise in the

islands.

ISA-42:13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall

stir up jealousy

like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail

against his

enemies.

ISA-42:14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still,

[and]

refrained myself: [now] will I cry like a travailing woman; I

will destroy and

devour at once.

ISA-42:15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all

their herbs;

and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

ISA-42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew

not; I will

lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make

darkness light

before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do

unto them,

and not forsake them.

ISA-42:17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly

ashamed, that

trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are]

our gods.

ISA-42:18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

ISA-42:19 Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my

messenger [that] I

sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the

LORD's servant?

ISA-42:20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening

the ears, but

he heareth not.

ISA-42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake;

he will

magnify the law, and make [it] honourable.

ISA-42:22 But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are]

all of them

snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for

a prey, and

none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

ISA-42:23 Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will

hearken and hear

for the time to come?

ISA-42:24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the

robbers? did not the

LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in

his ways,

neither were they obedient unto his law.

ISA-42:25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his

anger, and the

strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet

he knew not;

and it burned him, yet he laid [it] not to heart.

ISA-43:1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob,

and he that

formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I

have called

[thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine.

ISA-43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with

thee; and

through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou

walkest through

the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame

kindle upon thee.

ISA-43:3 For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel,

thy Saviour: I

gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

ISA-43:4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been

honourable, and

I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and

people for thy

life.

ISA-43:5 Fear not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed

from the east,

and gather thee from the west;

ISA-43:6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south,

Keep not back:

bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the

earth;

ISA-43:7 [Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have

created him

for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

ISA-43:8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the

deaf that have

ears.

ISA-43:9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the

people be

assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former

things? let

them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or

let them

hear, and say, [It is] truth.

ISA-43:10 Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant

whom I have

chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I

[am] he: before

me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

ISA-43:11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is]

no saviour.

ISA-43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed,

when [there

was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses,

saith the

LORD, that I [am] God.

ISA-43:13 Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is]

none that can

deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

ISA-43:14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of

Israel; For

your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all

their nobles, and

the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the ships.

ISA-43:15 I [am] the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel,

your King.

ISA-43:16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea,

and a path in

the mighty waters;

ISA-43:17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army

and the power;

they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are

extinct, they are

quenched as tow.

ISA-43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider

the things of

old.

ISA-43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring

forth; shall ye

not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and]

rivers in the

desert.

ISA-43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons

and the owls:

because I give waters in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the

desert, to give

drink to my people, my chosen.

ISA-43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall show

forth my

praise.

ISA-43:22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou

hast been weary

of me, O Israel.

ISA-43:23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy

burnt offerings;

neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not

caused thee to

serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.

ISA-43:24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither

hast thou

filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me

to serve with

thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

ISA-43:25 I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy

transgressions for mine

own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

ISA-43:26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare

thou, that

thou mayest be justified.

ISA-43:27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have

transgressed

against me.

ISA-43:28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the

sanctuary, and have

given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

ISA-44:1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I

have chosen:

ISA-44:2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee

from the womb,

[which] will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou,

Jesurun, whom

I have chosen.

ISA-44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and

floods upon the

dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing

upon thine

offspring:

ISA-44:4 And they shall spring up [as] among the grass, as

willows by the

water courses.

ISA-44:5 One shall say, I [am] the LORD's; and another shall

call [himself]

by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe [with] his

hand unto the

LORD, and surname [himself] by the name of Israel.

ISA-44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his

redeemer the LORD of

hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me

[there is] no God.

ISA-44:7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and

set it in order

for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things

that are coming,

and shall come, let them show unto them.

ISA-44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee

from that time,

and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there a

God beside me?

yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any].

ISA-44:9 They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity;

and their

delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own

witnesses; they

see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

ISA-44:10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image

[that] is

profitable for nothing?

ISA-44:11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the

workmen, they

[are] of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand

up; [yet] they

shall fear, [and] they shall be ashamed together.

ISA-44:12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals,

and fashioneth

it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms:

yea, he is

hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is

faint.

ISA-44:13 The carpenter stretcheth out [his] rule; he marketh

it out with a

line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the

compass, and

maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of

a man; that it

may remain in the house.

ISA-44:14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and

the oak,

which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest:

he planteth

an ash, and the rain doth nourish [it].

ISA-44:15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take

thereof, and

warm himself; yea, he kindleth [it], and baketh bread; yea, he

maketh a god,

and worshippeth [it]; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth

down thereto.

ISA-44:16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part

thereof he eateth

flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth

[himself], and

saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

ISA-44:17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, [even] his

graven image:

he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth [it], and prayeth unto

it, and saith,

Deliver me; for thou [art] my god.

ISA-44:18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut

their eyes,

that they cannot see; [and] their hearts, that they cannot

understand.

ISA-44:19 And none considereth in his heart, neither [is there]

knowledge nor

understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea,

also I have

baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and

eaten [it]: and

shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall

down to the

stock of a tree?

ISA-44:20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him

aside, that

he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not a lie in my

right hand?

ISA-44:21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou [art] my

servant: I

have formed thee; thou [art] my servant: O Israel, thou shalt

not be forgotten

of me.

ISA-44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy

transgressions, and, as a

cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

ISA-44:23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done [it]:

shout, ye lower

parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O

forest, and

every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and

glorified himself in

Israel.

ISA-44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed

thee from the

womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth

forth the

heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

ISA-44:25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh

diviners mad;

that turneth wise [men] backward, and maketh their knowledge

foolish;

ISA-44:26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and

performeth the counsel

of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be

inhabited; and to

the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the

decayed places

thereof:

ISA-44:27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy

rivers:

ISA-44:28 That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and shall

perform all my

pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to

the temple,

Thy foundation shall be laid.

ISA-45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose

right hand I

have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the

loins of

kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates

shall not be

shut;

ISA-45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places

straight: I will

break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars

of iron:

ISA-45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and

hidden riches of

secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which

call [thee] by

thy name, [am] the God of Israel.

ISA-45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I

have even

called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast

not known me.

ISA-45:5 I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is]

no God beside

me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

ISA-45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and

from the west,

that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is]

none else.

ISA-45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace,

and create

evil: I the LORD do all these [things].

ISA-45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies

pour down

righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth

salvation, and let

righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

ISA-45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the

potsherd

[strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to

him that

fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

ISA-45:10 Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What

begettest thou? or

to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

ISA-45:11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his

Maker, Ask me

of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of

my hands

command ye me.

ISA-45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I,

[even] my hands,

have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I

commanded.

ISA-45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will

direct all his

ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives,

not for price

nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.

ISA-45:14 Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and

merchandise of

Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over

unto thee, and

they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they

shall come

over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make

supplication unto

thee, [saying], Surely God [is] in thee; and [there is] none

else, [there is]

no God.

ISA-45:15 Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of

Israel, the

Saviour.

ISA-45:16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of

them: they shall

go to confusion together [that are] makers of idols.

ISA-45:17 [But] Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an

everlasting

salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without

end.

ISA-45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God

himself that

formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created

it not in

vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there

is] none else.

ISA-45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the

earth: I said

not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak

righteousness, I declare things that are right.

ISA-45:20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye

[that are]

escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the

wood of their

graven image, and pray unto a god [that] cannot save.

ISA-45:21 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take

counsel

together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath

told it from

that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else

beside me; a just

God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.

ISA-45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the

earth: for I

[am] God, and [there is] none else.

ISA-45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my

mouth [in]

righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee

shall bow, every

tongue shall swear.

ISA-45:24 Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I

righteousness and

strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are

incensed against

him shall be ashamed.

ISA-45:25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified,

and shall

glory.

ISA-46:1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon

the beasts,

and upon the cattle: your carriages [were] heavy loaden; [they

are] a burden

to the weary [beast].

ISA-46:2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not

deliver the

burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

ISA-46:3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant

of the house

of Israel, which are borne [by me] from the belly, which are

carried from the

womb:

ISA-46:4 And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to

hoar hairs

will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear; even I will

carry, and will

deliver [you].

ISA-46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make [me] equal, and

compare me, that

we may be like?

ISA-46:6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in

the balance,

[and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down,

yea, they

worship.

ISA-46:7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and

set him in his

place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea,

[one] shall

cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his

trouble.

ISA-46:8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring [it]

again to mind, O

ye transgressors.

ISA-46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and

[there is]

none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me,

ISA-46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from

ancient times [the

things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand,

and I will do

all my pleasure:

ISA-46:11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that

executeth my

counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will also

bring it to

pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it.

ISA-46:12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far from

righteousness:

ISA-46:13 I bring near my righteousness: it shall not be far

off, and my

salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion

for Israel my

glory.

ISA-47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of

Babylon, sit on

the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans:

for thou shalt

no more be called tender and delicate.

ISA-47:2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks,

make bare

the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

ISA-47:3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall

be seen: I

will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man.

ISA-47:4 [As for] our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [is] his name,

the Holy One

of Israel.

ISA-47:5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O

daughter of the

Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of

kingdoms.

ISA-47:6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine

inheritance, and

given them into thine hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon

the ancient

hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

ISA-47:7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that

thou didst

not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst remember the

latter end of

it.

ISA-47:8 Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to

pleasures, that

dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I [am], and

none else beside

me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss

of children:

ISA-47:9 But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment

in one day,

the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee

in their

perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the

great abundance

of thine enchantments.

ISA-47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast

said, None seeth

me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and

thou hast said

in thine heart, I [am], and none else beside me.

ISA-47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not

know from

whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt

not be able to

put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly,

[which] thou shalt

not know.

ISA-47:12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the

multitude of thy

sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be

thou shalt be

able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

ISA-47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels.

Let now the

astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand

up, and save

thee from [these things] that shall come upon thee.

ISA-47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn

them; they

shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there

shall] not

[be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.

ISA-47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast

laboured, [even]

thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to

his quarter;

none shall save thee.

ISA-48:1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by

the name of

Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which

swear by the name

of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, [but] not in

truth, nor in

righteousness.

ISA-48:2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay

themselves upon

the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts [is] his name.

ISA-48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning;

and they went

forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did [them] suddenly,

and they came

to pass.

ISA-48:4 Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck

[is] an iron

sinew, and thy brow brass;

ISA-48:5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee;

before it came

to pass I showed [it] thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol

hath done them,

and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

ISA-48:6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare

[it]? I have

showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and

thou didst not

know them.

ISA-48:7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even

before the

day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold,

I knew them.

ISA-48:8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea,

from that time

[that] thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest

deal very

treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

ISA-48:9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my

praise will I

refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

ISA-48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I

have chosen

thee in the furnace of affliction.

ISA-48:11 For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I

do [it]: for

how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not give my glory

unto another.

ISA-48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I

[am] he; I [am]

the first, I also [am] the last.

ISA-48:13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth,

and my right

hand hath spanned the heavens: [when] I call unto them, they

stand up

together.

ISA-48:14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among

them hath

declared these [things]? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his

pleasure on

Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.

ISA-48:15 I, [even] I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I

have brought

him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

ISA-48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken

in secret

from the beginning; from the time that it was, there [am] I: and

now the Lord

GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

ISA-48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of

Israel; I [am]

the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth

thee by the way

[that] thou shouldest go.

ISA-48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then

had thy peace

been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

ISA-48:19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring

of thy bowels

like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off

nor destroyed

from before me.

ISA-48:20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans,

with a voice of

singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the

earth; say

ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

ISA-48:21 And they thirsted not [when] he led them through the

deserts: he

caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the

rock also,

and the waters gushed out.

ISA-48:22 [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

ISA-49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from

far; The LORD

hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath

he made

mention of my name.

ISA-49:2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the

shadow of his

hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver

hath he hid

me;

ISA-49:3 And said unto me, Thou [art] my servant, O Israel, in

whom I will be

glorified.

ISA-49:4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my

strength for

nought, and in vain: [yet] surely my judgment [is] with the LORD,

and my work

with my God.

ISA-49:5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb

[to be] his

servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not

gathered, yet shall

I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my

strength.

ISA-49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest

be my servant

to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of

Israel: I

will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou

mayest be my

salvation unto the end of the earth.

ISA-49:7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his

Holy One, to

him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a

servant of

rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship,

because of the

LORD that is faithful, [and] the Holy One of Israel, and he

shall choose thee.

ISA-49:8 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I

heard thee, and in

a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee,

and give thee

for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause

to inherit the

desolate heritages;

ISA-49:9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to

them that [are]

in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and

their pastures

[shall be] in all high places.

ISA-49:10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the

heat nor sun

smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even

by the

springs of water shall he guide them.

ISA-49:11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my

highways shall be

exalted.

ISA-49:12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these

from the north

and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

ISA-49:13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break

forth into

singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people,

and will have

mercy upon his afflicted.

ISA-49:14 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord

hath

forgotten me.

ISA-49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should

not have

compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet

will I not forget

thee.

ISA-49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of [my]

hands; thy walls

[are] continually before me.

ISA-49:17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and

they that made

thee waste shall go forth of thee.

ISA-49:18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these

gather

themselves together, [and] come to thee. [As] I live, saith the

LORD, thou

shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and

bind them [on

thee], as a bride [doeth].

ISA-49:19 For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land

of thy

destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the

inhabitants, and

they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

ISA-49:20 The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast

lost the other,

shall say again in thine ears, The place [is] too strait for me:

give place to

me that I may dwell.

ISA-49:21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten

me these,

seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and

removing to

and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone;

these, where

[had] they [been]?

ISA-49:22 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine

hand to the

Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall

bring thy sons

in [their] arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon [their]

shoulders.

ISA-49:23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their

queens thy

nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with [their] face

toward the

earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know

that I [am] the

LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

ISA-49:24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the

lawful captive

delivered?

ISA-49:25 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the

mighty shall be

taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for

I will

contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy

children.

ISA-49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own

flesh; and

they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine:

and all flesh

shall know that I the LORD [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer,

the mighty One

of Jacob.

ISA-50:1 Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the bill of your

mother's

divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is

it] to whom I

have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold

yourselves, and for

your transgressions is your mother put away.

ISA-50:2 Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I

called, [was

there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it

cannot redeem? or

have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the

sea, I make the

rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no

water, and

dieth for thirst.

ISA-50:3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make

sackcloth their

covering.

ISA-50:4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned,

that I should

know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary: he

wakeneth morning

by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

ISA-50:5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not

rebellious, neither

turned away back.

ISA-50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them

that plucked

off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

ISA-50:7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not

be confounded:

therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I

shall not be

ashamed.

ISA-50:8 [He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with

me? let us

stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him come near to me.

ISA-50:9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that]

shall condemn

me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat

them up.

ISA-50:10 Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that

obeyeth the voice of

his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath no light? let

him trust in

the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

ISA-50:11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass

[yourselves] about

with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks

[that] ye have

kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in

sorrow.

ISA-51:1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye

that seek the

LORD: look unto the rock [whence] ye are hewn, and to the hole

of the pit

[whence] ye are digged.

ISA-51:2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah [that]

bare you: for I

called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

ISA-51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all

her waste

places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her

desert like the

garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein,

thanksgiving, and

the voice of melody.

ISA-51:4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my

nation: for a

law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest

for a light of

the people.

ISA-51:5 My righteousness [is] near; my salvation is gone forth,

and mine

arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and

on mine arm

shall they trust.

ISA-51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the

earth beneath:

for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth

shall wax old like

a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner:

but my

salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be

abolished.

ISA-51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the

people in whose

heart [is] my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be

ye afraid of

their revilings.

ISA-51:8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the

worm shall

eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and

my salvation

from generation to generation.

ISA-51:9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD;

awake, as in the

ancient days, in the generations of old. [Art] thou not it that

hath cut

Rahab, [and] wounded the dragon?

ISA-51:10 [Art] thou not it which hath dried the sea, the

waters of the great

deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the

ransomed to pass

over?

ISA-51:11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and

come with

singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy [shall be] upon their

head: they shall

obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and mourning shall flee

away.

ISA-51:12 I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth you: who [art]

thou, that thou

shouldest be afraid of a man [that] shall die, and of the son of

man [which]

shall be made [as] grass;

ISA-51:13 And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath

stretched forth the

heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared

continually

every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were

ready to

destroy? and where [is] the fury of the oppressor?

ISA-51:14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed,

and that he

should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

ISA-51:15 But I [am] the LORD thy God, that divided the sea,

whose waves

roared: The LORD of hosts [is] his name.

ISA-51:16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have

covered thee in

the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay

the foundations

of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou [art] my people.

ISA-51:17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk

at the hand

of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of

the cup of

trembling, [and] wrung [them] out.

ISA-51:18 [There is] none to guide her among all the sons

[whom] she hath

brought forth; neither [is there any] that taketh her by the

hand of all the

sons [that] she hath brought up.

ISA-51:19 These two [things] are come unto thee; who shall be

sorry for thee?

desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by

whom shall I

comfort thee?

ISA-51:20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all

the streets, as

a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the

rebuke of thy

God.

ISA-51:21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken,

but not with

wine:

ISA-51:22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God [that]

pleadeth the cause

of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of

trembling,

[even] the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink

it again:

ISA-51:23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict

thee; which

have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou

hast laid thy

body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

ISA-52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy

beautiful

garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall

no more come

into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

ISA-52:2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O

Jerusalem:

loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of

Zion.

ISA-52:3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for

nought; and ye

shall be redeemed without money.

ISA-52:4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down

aforetime into

Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without

cause.

ISA-52:5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that

my people is

taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to

howl, saith the

LORD; and my name continually every day [is] blasphemed.

ISA-52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore

[they shall know]

in that day that I [am] he that doth speak: behold, [it is] I.

ISA-52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him

that bringeth

good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings

of good, that

publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

ISA-52:8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice

together shall

they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall

bring again

Zion.

ISA-52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places

of Jerusalem:

for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed

Jerusalem.

ISA-52:10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of

all the

nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation

of our God.

ISA-52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no

unclean

[thing]; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear

the vessels of

the LORD.

ISA-52:12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight:

for the LORD

will go before you; and the God of Israel [will be] your

rereward.

ISA-52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be

exalted and

extolled, and be very high.

ISA-52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so

marred more than

any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

ISA-52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall

shut their

mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall

they see; and

[that] which they had not heard shall they consider.

ISA-53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm

of the LORD

revealed?

ISA-53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and

as a root out

of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we

shall see him,

[there is] no beauty that we should desire him.

ISA-53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows,

and acquainted

with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was

despised, and

we esteemed him not.

ISA-53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our

sorrows: yet we did

esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

ISA-53:5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was]

bruised for

our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him;

and with his

stripes we are healed.

ISA-53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned

every one to his

own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

ISA-53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened

not his mouth:

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before

her shearers

is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

ISA-53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who

shall declare

his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living:

for the

transgression of my people was he stricken.

ISA-53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the

rich in his

death; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit

in his mouth.

ISA-53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put

[him] to grief:

when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see

[his] seed, he

shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall

prosper in his

hand.

ISA-53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall

be satisfied:

by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he

shall bear

their iniquities.

ISA-53:12 Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the

great, and he

shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured

out his soul

unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he

bare the sin of

many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

ISA-54:1 Sing, O barren, thou [that] didst not bear; break

forth into

singing, and cry aloud, thou [that] didst not travail with child:

for more

[are] the children of the desolate than the children of the

married wife,

saith the LORD.

ISA-54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch

forth the

curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords,

and strengthen

thy stakes;

ISA-54:3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on

the left; and

thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate

cities to be

inhabited.

ISA-54:4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be

thou confounded;

for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the

shame of thy

youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any

more.

ISA-54:5 For thy Maker [is] thine husband; the LORD of hosts

[is] his name;

and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole

earth shall he

be called.

ISA-54:6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and

grieved in

spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy

God.

ISA-54:7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with

great mercies will

I gather thee.

ISA-54:8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment;

but with

everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD

thy Redeemer.

ISA-54:9 For this [is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for [as]

I have sworn

that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so

have I sworn that

I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

ISA-54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be

removed; but my

kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant

of my peace be

removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

ISA-54:11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, [and] not

comforted, behold,

I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations

with

sapphires.

ISA-54:12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates

of carbuncles,

and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

ISA-54:13 And all thy children [shall be] taught of the LORD;

and great

[shall be] the peace of thy children.

ISA-54:14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou

shalt be far from

oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it

shall not come

near thee.

ISA-54:15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not

by me:

whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy

sake.

ISA-54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the

coals in the

fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I

have created

the waster to destroy.

ISA-54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;

and every

tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt

condemn. This

[is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their

righteousness [is] of

me, saith the LORD.

ISA-55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,

and he that

hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and

milk without

money and without price.

ISA-55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not

bread? and your

labour for [that which] satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto

me, and eat ye

[that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in

fatness.

ISA-55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your

soul shall live;

and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the

sure mercies of

David.

ISA-55:4 Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people,

a leader and

commander to the people.

ISA-55:5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation [that] thou knowest

not, and

nations [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the

LORD thy God,

and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

ISA-55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon

him while he is

near:

ISA-55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous

man his

thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have

mercy upon him;

and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

ISA-55:8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are]

your ways my

ways, saith the LORD.

ISA-55:9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are

my ways

higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

ISA-55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven,

and

returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it

bring forth and

bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

ISA-55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:

it shall not

return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall

prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.

ISA-55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with

peace: the

mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into

singing, and all the

trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.

ISA-55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and

instead of the

brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD

for a name,

for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.

ISA-56:1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice:

for my

salvation [is] near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

ISA-56:2 Blessed [is] the man [that] doeth this, and the son of

man [that]

layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it,

and keepeth his

hand from doing any evil.

ISA-56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined

himself to the

LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his

people:

neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] a dry tree.

ISA-56:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my

sabbaths, and

choose [the things] that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

ISA-56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my

walls a place

and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give

them an

everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

ISA-56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to

the LORD, to

serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants,

every one

that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of

my covenant;

ISA-56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make

them joyful in

my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices

[shall be]

accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an

house of prayer

for all people.

ISA-56:8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel

saith, Yet will

I gather [others] to him, beside those that are gathered unto

him.

ISA-56:9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea], all

ye beasts in

the forest.

ISA-56:10 His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they

[are] all

dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to

slumber.

ISA-56:11 Yea, [they are] greedy dogs [which] can never have

enough, and they

[are] shepherds [that] cannot understand: they all look to their

own way,

every one for his gain, from his quarter.

ISA-56:12 Come ye, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will

fill ourselves

with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, [and]

much more

abundant.

ISA-57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to

heart: and

merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the

righteous is taken

away from the evil [to come].

ISA-57:2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their

beds, [each one]

walking [in] his uprightness.

ISA-57:3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the

seed of the

adulterer and the whore.

ISA-57:4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make

ye a wide

mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? [are] ye not children of

transgression, a

seed of falsehood,

ISA-57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree,

slaying the

children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

ISA-57:6 Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy

portion; they, they

[are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering,

thou hast

offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

ISA-57:7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed:

even thither

wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

ISA-57:8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up

thy

remembrance: for thou hast discovered [thyself to another] than

me, and art

gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant]

with them;

thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].

ISA-57:9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst

increase thy

perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst

debase [thyself

even] unto hell.

ISA-57:10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; [yet]

saidst thou

not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand;

therefore thou

wast not grieved.

ISA-57:11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that

thou hast lied,

and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not

I held my

peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

ISA-57:12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for

they shall not

profit thee.

ISA-57:13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but

the wind

shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them]: but he that

putteth his

trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy

mountain;

ISA-57:14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the

way, take up the

stumbling block out of the way of my people.

ISA-57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth

eternity,

whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with

him also

[that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit

of the humble,

and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

ISA-57:16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be

always wroth:

for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls [which] I

have made.

ISA-57:17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and

smote him: I

hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of

his heart.

ISA-57:18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead

him also, and

restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

ISA-57:19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him

that is] far

off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal

him.

ISA-57:20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it

cannot rest,

whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

ISA-57:21 [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

ISA-58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet,

and show my

people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

ISA-58:2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways,

as a nation

that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their

God: they ask

of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in

approaching to God.

ISA-58:3 Wherefore have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest

not?

[wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no

knowledge? Behold,

in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your

labours.

ISA-58:4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite

with the fist of

wickedness: ye shall not fast as [ye do this] day, to make your

voice to be

heard on high.

ISA-58:5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man

to afflict his

soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread

sackcloth and

ashes [under him]? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable

day to the

LORD?

ISA-58:6 [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose

the bands of

wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed

go free, and

that ye break every yoke?

ISA-58:7 [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that

thou bring the

poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked,

that thou

cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

ISA-58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and

thine health

shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go

before thee; the

glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

ISA-58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou

shalt cry, and

he shall say, Here I [am]. If thou take away from the midst of

thee the yoke,

the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

ISA-58:10 And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and

satisfy the

afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy

darkness [be]

as the noon day:

ISA-58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and

satisfy thy soul in

drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a

watered garden, and

like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

ISA-58:12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old

waste places:

thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and

thou shalt be

called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to

dwell in.

ISA-58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from]

doing thy

pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the

holy of the LORD,

honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor

finding thine

own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:

ISA-58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I

will cause thee

to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with

the heritage of

Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].

ISA-59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it

cannot save;

neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

ISA-59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and

your God, and

your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.

ISA-59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your

fingers with

iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered

perverseness.

ISA-59:4 None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth:

they trust

in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring

forth iniquity.

ISA-59:5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's

web: he that

eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh

out into a

viper.

ISA-59:6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall

they cover

themselves with their works: their works [are] works of iniquity,

and the act

of violence [is] in their hands.

ISA-59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed

innocent blood:

their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity; wasting and

destruction [are] in

their paths.

ISA-59:8 The way of peace they know not; and [there is] no

judgment in their

goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth

therein shall not

know peace.

ISA-59:9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth

justice overtake us:

we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, [but]

we walk in

darkness.

ISA-59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as

if [we had]

no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; [we are] in

desolate places

as dead [men].

ISA-59:11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we

look for

judgment, but [there is] none; for salvation, [but] it is far

off from us.

ISA-59:12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee,

and our sins

testify against us: for our transgressions [are] with us; and

[as for] our

iniquities, we know them;

ISA-59:13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and

departing away

from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and

uttering from the

heart words of falsehood.

ISA-59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice

standeth afar

off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

ISA-59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he [that] departeth from evil

maketh

himself a prey: and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased him

that [there was]

no judgment.

ISA-59:16 And he saw that [there was] no man, and wondered that

[there was]

no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;

and his

righteousness, it sustained him.

ISA-59:17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an

helmet of

salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance

[for]

clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

ISA-59:18 According to [their] deeds, accordingly he will repay,

fury to his

adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will

repay

recompense.

ISA-59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west,

and his

glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in

like a flood,

the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

ISA-59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them

that turn from

transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

ISA-59:21 As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, saith the

LORD; My

spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy

mouth, shall

not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed,

nor out of the

mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and

for ever.

ISA-60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of

the LORD is

risen upon thee.

ISA-60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and

gross darkness

the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory

shall be seen

upon thee.

ISA-60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to

the

brightness of thy rising.

ISA-60:4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they

gather themselves

together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and

thy daughters

shall be nursed at [thy] side.

ISA-60:5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine

heart shall fear,

and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be

converted unto

thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

ISA-60:6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the

dromedaries of Midian

and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold

and incense;

and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD.

ISA-60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together

unto thee, the

rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up

with acceptance

on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

ISA-60:8 Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the

doves to their

windows?

ISA-60:9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of

Tarshish first,

to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with

them, unto the

name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because

he hath

glorified thee.

ISA-60:10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls,

and their kings

shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in

my favour have

I had mercy on thee.

ISA-60:11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they

shall not be

shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the forces of

the Gentiles,

and [that] their kings [may be] brought.

ISA-60:12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee

shall perish;

yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.

ISA-60:13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir

tree, the pine

tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my

sanctuary; and I will

make the place of my feet glorious.

ISA-60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come

bending unto

thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down

at the soles

of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The

Zion of the

Holy One of Israel.

ISA-60:15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no

man went

through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of

many

generations.

ISA-60:16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and

shalt suck the

breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD [am] thy

Saviour and thy

Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

ISA-60:17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will

bring silver, and

for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy

officers peace, and

thine exactors righteousness.

ISA-60:18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting

nor

destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls

Salvation, and

thy gates Praise.

ISA-60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither

for brightness

shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto

thee an

everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

ISA-60:20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon

withdraw

itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the

days of thy

mourning shall be ended.

ISA-60:21 Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall

inherit the

land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,

that I may be

glorified.

ISA-60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one

a strong

nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

ISA-61:1 The spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the

LORD hath

anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent

me to bind up

the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the

opening of the

prison to [them that are] bound;

ISA-61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the

day of

vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

ISA-61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto

them beauty

for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise

for the spirit

of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness,

the planting

of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

ISA-61:4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise

up the former

desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the

desolations of many

generations.

ISA-61:5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and

the sons of the

alien [shall be] your plowmen and your vinedressers.

ISA-61:6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: [men]

shall call you

the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the

Gentiles, and in

their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

ISA-61:7 For your shame [ye shall have] double; and [for]

confusion they

shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they

shall possess the

double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

ISA-61:8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt

offering; and

I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an

everlasting covenant

with them.

ISA-61:9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and

their

offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge

them, that

they [are] the seed [which] the LORD hath blessed.

ISA-61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be

joyful in my

God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he

hath covered me

with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh

[himself] with

ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels.

ISA-61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the

garden causeth

the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD

will cause

righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

ISA-62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for

Jerusalem's sake I

will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as

brightness, and the

salvation thereof as a lamp [that] burneth.

ISA-62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all

kings thy

glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth

of the LORD

shall name.

ISA-62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the

LORD, and a

royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

ISA-62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall

thy land any

more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and

thy land

Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be

married.

ISA-62:5 For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy

sons marry

thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so]

shall thy God

rejoice over thee.

ISA-62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,

[which] shall never

hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD,

keep not

silence.

ISA-62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he

make Jerusalem

a praise in the earth.

ISA-62:8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm

of his

strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn [to be] meat for

thine enemies;

and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the

which thou hast

laboured:

ISA-62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it and praise

the LORD; and

they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts

of my

holiness.

ISA-62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way

of the people;

cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a

standard for

the people.

ISA-62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the

world, Say ye

to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold,

his reward [is]

with him, and his work before him.

ISA-62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The

redeemed of the

LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

ISA-63:1 Who [is] this that cometh from Edom, with dyed

garments from Bozrah?

this [that is] glorious in his apparel, travelling in the

greatness of his

strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

ISA-63:2 Wherefore [art thou] red in thine apparel, and thy

garments like him

that treadeth in the winefat?

ISA-63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people

[there was]

none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample

them in my

fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I

will stain

all my raiment.

ISA-63:4 For the day of vengeance [is] in mine heart, and the

year of my

redeemed is come.

ISA-63:5 And I looked, and [there was] none to help; and I

wondered that

[there was] none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought

salvation unto me;

and my fury, it upheld me.

ISA-63:6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and

make them drunk

in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

ISA-63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, [and]

the praises

of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us,

and the great

goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on

them according

to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his

lovingkindnesses.

ISA-63:8 For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children

[that] will not

lie: so he was their Saviour.

ISA-63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the

angel of his

presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed

them; and he bare

them, and carried them all the days of old.

ISA-63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit:

therefore he was

turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought against them.

ISA-63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his

people,

[saying], Where [is] he that brought them up out of the sea with

the shepherd

of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within him?

ISA-63:12 That led [them] by the right hand of Moses with his

glorious arm,

dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting

name?

ISA-63:13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the

wilderness,

[that] they should not stumble?

ISA-63:14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of

the LORD

caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make

thyself a glorious

name.

ISA-63:15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation

of thy

holiness and of thy glory: where [is] thy zeal and thy strength,

the sounding

of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?

ISA-63:16 Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be

ignorant of us,

and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, [art] our father,

our redeemer;

thy name [is] from everlasting.

ISA-63:17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways,

[and] hardened

our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the

tribes of thine

inheritance.

ISA-63:18 The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but a

little while:

our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

ISA-63:19 We are [thine]: thou never barest rule over them;

they were not

called by thy name.

ISA-64:1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou

wouldest come

down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence.

ISA-64:2 As [when] the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth

the waters to

boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, [that] the

nations may

tremble at thy presence!

ISA-64:3 When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not

for, thou

camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

ISA-64:4 For since the beginning of the world [men] have not

heard, nor

perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside

thee, [what] he

hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

ISA-64:5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh

righteousness, [those

that] remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we

have sinned:

in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

ISA-64:6 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our

righteousnesses

[are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our

iniquities, like

the wind, have taken us away.

ISA-64:7 And [there is] none that calleth upon thy name, that

stirreth up

himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us,

and hast

consumed us, because of our iniquities.

ISA-64:8 But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the

clay, and thou

our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.

ISA-64:9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember

iniquity for ever:

behold, see, we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people.

ISA-64:10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a

wilderness, Jerusalem a

desolation.

ISA-64:11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers

praised thee,

is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid

waste.

ISA-64:12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these [things], O LORD?

wilt thou

hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

ISA-65:1 I am sought of [them that] asked not [for me]; I am

found of [them

that] sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation

[that] was

not called by my name.

ISA-65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a

rebellious people,

which walketh in a way [that was] not good, after their own

thoughts;

ISA-65:3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my

face; that

sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

ISA-65:4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the

monuments, which eat

swine's flesh, and broth of abominable [things is in] their

vessels;

ISA-65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for

I am holier

than thou. These [are] a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth

all the day.

ISA-65:6 Behold, [it is] written before me: I will not keep

silence, but will

recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

ISA-65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers

together, saith

the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and

blasphemed me upon

the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their

bosom.

ISA-65:8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the

cluster, and

[one] saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing [is] in it: so will

I do for my

servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

ISA-65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of

Judah an

inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and

my servants

shall dwell there.

ISA-65:10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley

of Achor a

place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have

sought me.

ISA-65:11 But ye [are] they that forsake the LORD, that forget

my holy

mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish

the drink

offering unto that number.

ISA-65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye

shall all bow down

to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when

I spake, ye

did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose

[that] wherein I

delighted not.

ISA-65:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my

servants shall eat,

but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye

shall be

thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be

ashamed:

ISA-65:14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but

ye shall cry

for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

ISA-65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my

chosen: for the

Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:

ISA-65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless

himself in

the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear

by the God of

truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because

they are hid

from mine eyes.

ISA-65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:

and the former

shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

ISA-65:18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I

create: for,

behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

ISA-65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people:

and the

voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of

crying.

ISA-65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor

an old man

that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an

hundred years old;

but the sinner [being] an hundred years old shall be accursed.

ISA-65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit [them]; and

they shall

plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

ISA-65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall

not plant,

and another eat: for as the days of a tree [are] the days of my

people, and

mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

ISA-65:23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for

trouble; for

they [are] the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their

offspring with them.

ISA-65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I

will answer;

and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

ISA-65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the

lion shall eat

straw like the bullock: and dust [shall be] the serpent's meat.

They shall not

hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

ISA-66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and

the earth [is]

my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and

where [is] the

place of my rest?

ISA-66:2 For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all

those [things]

have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even]

to [him that

is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

ISA-66:3 He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he

that sacrificeth

a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an

oblation, [as if

he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he

blessed an

idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul

delighteth in their

abominations.

ISA-66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring

their fears upon

them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they

did not hear:

but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose [that] in which I

delighted not.

ISA-66:5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word;

Your

brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake,

said, Let the

LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they

shall be ashamed.

ISA-66:6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the

temple, a voice of

the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies.

ISA-66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her

pain came, she

was delivered of a man child.

ISA-66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such

things? Shall the

earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be

born at once?

for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

ISA-66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring

forth? saith the

LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith

thy God.

ISA-66:10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all

ye that love

her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

ISA-66:11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts

of her

consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the

abundance of her

glory.

ISA-66:12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace

to her like a

river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then

shall ye

suck, ye shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon

[her] knees.

ISA-66:13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort

you; and ye

shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

ISA-66:14 And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and

your bones

shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be

known toward

his servants, and [his] indignation toward his enemies.

ISA-66:15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with

his chariots

like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke

with flames of

fire.

ISA-66:16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with

all flesh:

and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

ISA-66:17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves

in the gardens

behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the

abomination, and

the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

ISA-66:18 For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall

come, that I

will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and

see my glory.

ISA-66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send

those that escape

of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw

the bow, [to]

Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard

my fame,

neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory

among the

Gentiles.

ISA-66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an

offering unto the

LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in

litters, and upon

mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem,

saith the LORD,

as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel

into the house

of the LORD.

ISA-66:21 And I will also take of them for priests [and] for

Levites, saith

the LORD.

ISA-66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I

will make, shall

remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your

name remain.

ISA-66:23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon

to another, and

from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship

before me, saith

the LORD.

ISA-66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases

of the men that

have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die,

neither shall

their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all

flesh.
