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

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

Isaiah 1

1. The vision <2377> of Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz

<0531>, which <0834> he saw <2372> concerning <5921> Judah

<3063> and Jerusalem <3389> in the days <3117> of Uzziah <5818>,

Jotham <3147>, Ahaz <0271>, [and] Hezekiah <2396>, kings <4428>

of Judah <3063>.

2. Hear <8085>, O heavens <8064>, and give ear <0238>, O earth

<0776>: for the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>, I have nourished

<1431> and brought <7311> up children <1121>, and they have

rebelled <6586> against me.

3 The ox <7794> knoweth <3045> his owner <7069>, and the ass

<2543> his master's <1167> crib <18>: [but] Israel <3478> doth

not know <3045>, my people <5971> doth not consider <0995>.

4 Ah <1945> sinful <2398> nation <1471>, a people <5971> laden

<3515> with iniquity <5771>, a seed <2233> of evildoers <7489>,

children <1121> that are corrupters <7843>: they have forsaken

<5800> the LORD <3068>, they have provoked <5006> the Holy

<6918> One of Israel <3478> unto anger <5006>, they are gone

<2114> away backward <0268>.

5 Why should ye be stricken <5221> any more <5750>? ye will

revolt <5627> more and more: the whole <3605> head <7218> is

sick <2483>, and the whole <3605> heart <3824> faint <1742>.

6 From the sole <3709> of the foot <7272> even unto the head

<7218> [there is] no <0369> soundness <4974> in it; [but] wounds

<6482>, and bruises <2250>, and putrifying <2961> sores <4347>:

they have not been closed <2115>, neither <3808> bound <2280> up,

neither <3808> mollified <7401> with ointment <8081>.

7 Your country <0776> [is] desolate <8077>, your cities <5892>

[are] burned <8313> with fire <0784>: your land <0127>,

strangers <2114> devour <0398> it in your presence <5048>, and

[it is] desolate <8077>, as overthrown <4114> by strangers

<2114>.

8 And the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726> is left <3498> as a

cottage <5521> in a vineyard <3754>, as a lodge <4412> in a

garden of cucumbers <4750>, as a besieged <5341> city <5892>.

9 Except <3884> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> had left <3498>

unto us a very <4592> small <4592> remnant <8300>, we should

have been <1961> as Sodom <5467>, [and] we should have been like

<1819> unto Gomorrah <6017>.

10. Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, ye rulers

<7101> of Sodom <5467>; give ear <0238> unto the law <8451> of

our God <0430>, ye people <5971> of Gomorrah <6017>.

11 To what <4100> purpose [is] the multitude <7230> of your

sacrifices <2077> unto me? saith <0559> the LORD <3068>: I am

full <7646> of the burnt <5930> offerings of rams <0352>, and

the fat <2459> of fed <4806> beasts <4806>; and I delight <2654>

not in the blood <1818> of bullocks <6499>, or of lambs <3532>,

or of he goats <6260>.

12 When <3588> ye come <0935> to appear <7200> before <6440> me,

who <4310> hath required <1245> this <2063> at your hand <3027>,

to tread <7429> my courts <2691>?

13 Bring <0935> no <3808> more <5750> vain <7723> oblations

<4503>; incense <7004> is an abomination <8441> unto me; the new

<2320> moons <2320> and sabbaths <7676>, the calling <7121> of

assemblies <4744>, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity <0205>,

even the solemn <2282> meeting <6116>.

14 Your new <2320> moons <2320> and your appointed <4150>

feasts my soul <5315> hateth <8130>: they are a trouble <2960>

unto me; I am weary <3811> to bear <5375> [them].

15 And when ye spread <6566> forth your hands <3709>, I will

hide <5956> mine eyes <5869> from you: yea <1571>, when <3588>

ye make many <7235> prayers <8605>, I will not hear <8085>: your

hands <3027> are full <4390> of blood <1818>.

16. Wash <7364> you, make you clean <2135>; put <5493> away

<5493> the evil <7455> of your doings <4611> from before <5048>

mine eyes <5869>; cease <2308> to do evil <7489>;

17 Learn <3925> to do well <3190>; seek <1875> judgment <4941>,

relieve <0833> the oppressed <2541>, judge <8199> the fatherless

<3490>, plead <7378> for the widow <0490>.

18 Come <3212> now <4994>, and let us reason <3198> together,

saith <0559> the LORD <3068>: though <0518> your sins <2399> be

as scarlet <8144>, they shall be as white <3835> as snow <7950>;

though <0518> they be red <0119> like <1819> crimson <8438>,

they shall be as wool <6785>.

19 If <0518> ye be willing <14> and obedient <8085>, ye shall

eat <0398> the good <2898> of the land <0776>:

20 But if <0518> ye refuse <3985> and rebel <4784>, ye shall be

devoured <0398> with the sword <2719>: for the mouth <6310> of

the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696> [it].

21. How <0349> is the faithful <0539> city <7151> become <1961>

an harlot <2181>! it was full <4392> of judgment <4941>;

righteousness <6664> lodged <3885> in it; but now <6258>

murderers <7523>.

22 Thy silver <3701> is become <1961> dross <5509>, thy wine

<5435> mixed <4107> with water <4325>:

23 Thy princes <8269> [are] rebellious <5637>, and companions

<2270> of thieves <1590>: every <3605> one loveth <0157> gifts

<7810>, and followeth <7291> after rewards <8021>: they judge

<8199> not the fatherless <3490>, neither <3808> doth the cause

<7379> of the widow <0490> come <0935> unto them.

24 Therefore <3651> saith <5002> the Lord <0113>, the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635>, the mighty <46> One of Israel <3478>, Ah

<1945>, I will ease <5162> me of mine adversaries <6862>, and

avenge <5358> me of mine enemies <0341>:

25 And I will turn <7725> my hand <3027> upon thee, and purely

<1252> purge <6884> away thy dross <5509>, and take <5493> away

<5493> all <3605> thy tin <0913>:

26 And I will restore <7725> thy judges <8199> as at the first

<7223>, and thy counsellors <3289> as at the beginning <8462>:

afterward thou shalt be called <7121>, The city <5892> of

righteousness <6664>, the faithful <0539> city <7151>.

27 Zion <6726> shall be redeemed <6299> with judgment <4941>,

and her converts <7725> with righteousness <6666>.

28 And the destruction <7667> of the transgressors <6586> and

of the sinners <2400> [shall be] together <3162>, and they that

forsake <5800> the LORD <3068> shall be consumed <3615>.

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

<0834> ye have desired <2530>, and ye shall be confounded <2659>

for the gardens <1593> that ye have chosen <0977>.

30 For ye shall be as an oak <0424> whose leaf <5929> fadeth

<5034>, and as a garden <1593> that hath no <0369> water <4325>.

31 And the strong <2634> shall be as tow <5296>, and the maker

<6467> of it as a spark <5213>, and they shall both <8147> burn

<1197> together <3162>, and none <0369> shall quench <3518>

[them].

Isaiah 2

1. The word <1697> that Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz

<0531> saw <2372> concerning <5921> Judah <3063> and Jerusalem

<3389>.

2 And it shall come <1961> to pass in the last <0319> days

<3117>, [that] the mountain <2022> of the LORD'S <3068> house

<1004> shall be established <3559> in the top <7218> of the

mountains <2022>, and shall be exalted <5375> above the hills

<1389>; and all <3605> nations <1471> shall flow <5102> unto it.

3 And many <7227> people <5971> shall go <1980> and say <0559>,

Come <3212> ye, and let us go <5927> up to the mountain <2022>

of the LORD <3068>, to the house <1004> of the God <0430> of

Jacob <3290>; and he will teach <3384> us of his ways <1870>,

and we will walk <3212> in his paths <0734>: for out of Zion

<6726> shall go <3318> forth <3318> the law <8451>, and the word

<1697> of the LORD <3068> from Jerusalem <3389>.

4 And he shall judge <8199> among <0996> the nations <1471>,

and shall rebuke <3198> many <7227> people <5971>: and they

shall beat <3807> their swords <2719> into plowshares <0855>,

and their spears <2595> into pruninghooks <4211>: nation <1471>

shall not lift <5375> up sword <2719> against <0413> nation

<1471>, neither <3808> shall they learn <3925> war <4421> any

more <5750>.

5 O house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, come <3212> ye, and let us

walk <3212> in the light <0216> of the LORD <3068>.

6. Therefore thou hast forsaken <5203> thy people <5971> the

house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, because <3588> they be replenished

<4390> from the east <6924>, and [are] soothsayers <6049> like

the Philistines <6430>, and they please <5606> themselves in the

children <3206> of strangers <5237>.

7 Their land <0776> also is full <4390> of silver <3701> and

gold <2091>, neither <3808> [is there any] end <7097> of their

treasures <0214>; their land <0776> is also full <4390> of

horses <5483>, neither <3808> [is there any] end <7097> of their

chariots <4818>:

8 Their land <0776> also is full <4390> of idols <0457>; they

worship <7812> the work <4639> of their own hands <3027>, that

which <0834> their own fingers <0676> have made <6213>:

9 And the mean <0120> man <1201> boweth <7817> down <7817>, and

the great man <0376> humbleth <8213> himself: therefore forgive

<5375> them not.

10. Enter <0935> into the rock <6697>, and hide <2934> thee in

the dust <6083>, for fear <6343> of the LORD <3068>, and for the

glory <1926> of his majesty <1347>.

11 The lofty <1365> looks <5869> of man <0120> shall be humbled

<8213>, and the haughtiness <7312> of men <0582> shall be bowed

<7817> down <7817>, and the LORD <3068> alone <0905> shall be

exalted <7682> in that day <3117>.

12 For the day <3117> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [shall

be] upon every <3605> [one that is] proud <1343> and lofty

<7311>, and upon every <3605> [one that is] lifted <5375> up;

and he shall be brought <8213> low <8213>:

13 And upon all <3605> the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <3844>,

[that are] high <7311> and lifted <5375> up, and upon all <3605>

the oaks <0437> of Bashan <1316>,

14 And upon all <3605> the high <7311> mountains <2022>, and

upon all <3605> the hills <1389> [that are] lifted <5375> up,

15 And upon every <3605> high <1364> tower <4026>, and upon

every <3605> fenced <1219> wall <2346>,

16 And upon all <3605> the ships <0591> of Tarshish <8659>, and

upon all <3605> pleasant <2532> pictures <7914>.

17 And the loftiness <1365> of man <0120> shall be bowed <7817>

down <7817>, and the haughtiness <7312> of men <0582> shall be

made low <8213>: and the LORD <3068> alone <0905> shall be

exalted <7682> in that day <3117>.

18 And the idols <0457> he shall utterly <3632> abolish <2498>.

19 And they shall go <0935> into the holes <4631> of the rocks

<6697>, and into the caves <4247> of the earth <6083>, for fear

<6343> of the LORD <3068>, and for the glory <1926> of his

majesty <1347>, when he ariseth <6965> to shake <6206> terribly

<6206> the earth <0776>.

20 In that day <3117> a man <0120> shall cast <7993> his idols

<0457> of silver <3701>, and his idols <0457> of gold <2091>,

which <0834> they made [each one] for himself to worship <7812>,

to the moles <2661> and to the bats <5847>;

21 To go <0935> into the clefts <5366> of the rocks <6697>, and

into the tops <5585> of the ragged rocks <5553>, for fear <6343>

of the LORD <3068>, and for the glory <1926> of his majesty

<1347>, when he ariseth <6965> to shake <6206> terribly <6206>

the earth <0776>.

22 Cease <2308> ye from man <0120>, whose <0834> breath <5397>

[is] in his nostrils <0639>: for wherein <4100> is he to be

accounted <2803> of?

Isaiah 3

1. For, behold <2009>, the Lord <0113>, the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635>, doth take <5493> away <5493> from Jerusalem <3389>

and from Judah <3063> the stay <4937> and the staff <4938>, the

whole <3605> stay <8172> of bread <3899>, and the whole <3605>

stay <4937> of water <4325>,

2 The mighty <1368> man, and the man <0376> of war <4421>, the

judge <8199>, and the prophet <5030>, and the prudent <7080>,

and the ancient <2204>,

3 The captain <8269> of fifty <2572>, and the honourable man,

and the counsellor <3289>, and the cunning <2450> artificer

<2796>, and the eloquent <0995> orator <3908>.

4 And I will give <5414> children <5288> [to be] their princes

<8269>, and babes <8586> shall rule <4910> over them.

5 And the people <5971> shall be oppressed <5065>, every <0376>

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

neighbour <7453>: the child <5288> shall behave <7292> himself

proudly <7292> against the ancient <2204>, and the base <7034>

against the honourable <3519>.

6 When <3588> a man <0376> shall take <8610> hold <8610> of his

brother <0251> of the house <1004> of his father <1>, [saying],

Thou hast clothing <8071>, be thou our ruler <7101>, and [let]

this <2063> ruin <4384> [be] under <8478> thy hand <3027>:

7 In that day <3117> shall he swear <5375>, saying <0559>, I

will not be an healer <2280>; for in my house <1004> [is]

neither <0369> bread <3899> nor <0369> clothing <8071>: make

<7760> me not a ruler <7101> of the people <5971>.

8 For Jerusalem <3389> is ruined <3782>, and Judah <3063> is

fallen <5307>: because <3588> their tongue <3956> and their

doings <4611> [are] against <0413> the LORD <3068>, to provoke

<4784> the eyes <5869> of his glory <3519>.

9. The shew <1971> of their countenance <6440> doth witness

<5707> against them; and they declare <5046> their sin <2403> as

Sodom <5467>, they hide <3582> [it] not. Woe <0188> unto their

soul <5315>! for they have rewarded <1580> evil <7451> unto

themselves <1992>.

10 Say <0559> ye to the righteous <6662>, that [it shall be]

well <2896> [with him]: for they shall eat <0398> the fruit

<6529> of their doings <4611>.

11 Woe <0188> unto the wicked <7563>! [it shall be] ill <7451>

[with him]: for the reward <1576> of his hands <3027> shall be

given <6213> him.

12 [As for] my people <5971>, children <5768> [are] their

oppressors <5065>, and women <0802> rule <4910> over them. O my

people <5971>, they which lead <0833> thee cause [thee] to err

<8582>, and destroy <1104> the way <1870> of thy paths <0734>.

13 The LORD <3068> standeth <5324> up to plead <7378>, and

standeth <5975> to judge <1777> the people <5971>.

14 The LORD <3068> will enter <0935> into judgment <4941> with

the ancients <2204> of his people <5971>, and the princes <8269>

thereof: for ye have eaten <0398> up the vineyard <3754>; the

spoil <1500> of the poor <6041> [is] in your houses <1004>.

15 What <4100> mean ye [that] ye beat <1792> my people <5971>

to pieces, and grind <2912> the faces <6440> of the poor <6041>?

saith <5002> the Lord <3068> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>.

16. Moreover the LORD <3068> saith <0559>, Because the

daughters <1121> of Zion <6726> are haughty <1361>, and walk

<3212> with stretched <5186> forth necks <1627> and wanton

<8265> eyes <5869>, walking <1980> and mincing <2952> [as] they

go <3212>, and making a tinkling <5913> with their feet <7272>:

17 Therefore the Lord <0136> will smite <5596> with a scab

<5597> the crown <6936> of the head <6936> of the daughters

<1121> of Zion <6726>, and the LORD <3068> will discover <6168>

their secret <6596> parts.

18 In that day <3117> the Lord <0136> will take <5493> away

<5493> the bravery <8597> of [their] tinkling ornaments <5914>

[about their feet], and [their] cauls <7636>, and [their] round

<7720> tires <7720> like the moon,

19 The chains <5188>, and the bracelets <8285>, and the

mufflers <7479>,

20 The bonnets <6287>, and the ornaments <6807> of the legs

<6807>, and the headbands <7196>, and the tablets, and the

earrings <3908>,

21 The rings <2885>, and nose <0639> jewels <5141>,

22 The changeable <4254> suits of apparel <4254>, and the

mantles <4595>, and the wimples <4304>, and the crisping <2754>

pins,

23 The glasses <1549>, and the fine linen <5466>, and the hoods

<6797>, and the vails <7289>.

24 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] instead <8478> of

sweet <1314> smell <1314> there shall be stink <4716>; and

instead <8478> of a girdle <2290> a rent <5364>; and instead

<8478> of well <4639> set hair <4748> baldness <7144>; and

instead <8478> of a stomacher <6614> a girding <4228> of

sackcloth <8242>; [and] burning <3587> instead <8478> of beauty

<3308>.

25 Thy men <4962> shall fall <5307> by the sword <2719>, and

thy mighty <1369> in the war <4421>.

26 And her gates <6607> shall lament <0578> and mourn <56>; and

she [being] desolate <5352> shall sit <3427> upon the ground

<0776>.

Isaiah 4

1. And in that day <3117> seven <7651> women <0802> shall take

<2388> hold <2388> of one <0259> man <0376>, saying <0559>, We

will eat <0398> our own bread <3899>, and wear <3847> our own

apparel <8071>: only <7535> let us be called <7121> by thy name

<8034>, to take <0622> away our reproach <2781>.

2. In that day <3117> shall the branch <6780> of the LORD

<3068> be beautiful <6643> and glorious <3519>, and the fruit

<6529> of the earth <0776> [shall be] excellent <1347> and

comely <8597> for them that are escaped <6413> of Israel <3478>.

3 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that he that is] left

<7604> in Zion <6726>, and [he that] remaineth <3498> in

Jerusalem <3389>, shall be called <0559> holy <6918>, [even]

every <3605> one that is written <3789> among the living <2416>

in Jerusalem <3389>:

4 When <0518> the Lord <0136> shall have washed <7364> away the

filth <6675> of the daughters <1121> of Zion <6726>, and shall

have purged <1740> the blood <1818> of Jerusalem <3389> from the

midst <7130> thereof by the spirit <7307> of judgment <4941>,

and by the spirit <7307> of burning <1197>.

5 And the LORD <3068> will create <1254> upon every <3605>

dwelling <4349> place of mount <2022> Zion <6726>, and upon her

assemblies <4744>, a cloud <6051> and smoke <6227> by day <3119>,

and the shining <5051> of a flaming <3852> fire <0784> by night

<3915>: for upon all <3605> the glory <3519> [shall be] a

defence <2646>.

6 And there shall be a tabernacle <5521> for a shadow <6738> in

the daytime <3119> from the heat <2721>, and for a place of

refuge <4268>, and for a covert <4563> from storm <2230> and

from rain <4306>.

Isaiah 5

1. Now <4994> will I sing <7891> to my wellbeloved <3039> a

song <7892> of my beloved <1730> touching his vineyard <3754>.

My wellbeloved <3039> hath a vineyard <3754> in a very fruitful

hill <7161>:

2 And he fenced <5823> it, and gathered out the stones <5619>

thereof, and planted <5193> it with the choicest <8321> vine

<8321>, and built <1129> a tower <4026> in the midst <8432> of

it, and also <1571> made <2672> a winepress <3342> therein

<8432>: and he looked <6960> that it should bring <6213> forth

<6213> grapes <6025>, and it brought <6213> forth <6213> wild

<0891> grapes <0891>.

3 And now <6258>, O inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, and

men <0376> of Judah <3063>, judge <8199>, I pray <4994> you,

betwixt <0996> me and my vineyard <3754>.

4 What <4100> could have been done <6466> more <5750> to my

vineyard <3754>, that I have not done <6466> in it? wherefore

<4069>, when I looked <6960> that it should bring <6213> forth

<6213> grapes <6025>, brought <6213> it forth <6213> wild <0891>

grapes <0891>?

5 And now <6258> go to; I will tell <3045> you what I will do

<6213> to my vineyard <3754>: I will take <5493> away <5493> the

hedge <4881> thereof, and it shall be eaten <0398> up; [and]

break <6555> down the wall <1447> thereof, and it shall be

trodden <4823> down:

6 And I will lay it waste <1326>: it shall not be pruned <2167>,

nor <3808> digged <5737>; but there shall come <5927> up briers

<8068> and thorns <7898>: I will also command <6680> the clouds

<5645> that they rain <4305> no rain <4306> upon it.

7 For the vineyard <3754> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>

[is] the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, and the men <0376> of

Judah <3063> his pleasant <8191> plant <5194>: and he looked

<6970> for judgment <4941>, but behold <2009> oppression <4939>;

for righteousness <6666>, but behold <2009> a cry <6818>.

8. Woe <1945> unto them that join <5060> house <1004> to house

<1004>, [that] lay <7126> field <7704> to field <7704>, till

<5704> [there be] no <0675> place <4725>, that they may be

placed <3427> alone <0905> in the midst <7130> of the earth

<0776>!

9 In mine ears <0241> [said] the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,

Of a truth many <7227> houses <1004> shall be desolate <8047>,

[even] great <1419> and fair <2896>, without <0369> inhabitant

<3427>.

10 Yea <3588>, ten <6235> acres <6776> of vineyard <3754> shall

yield <6213> one <0259> bath <1324>, and the seed <2233> of an

homer <2563> shall yield <6213> an ephah <0374>.

11 Woe <1945> unto them that rise <7925> up early <7925> in the

morning <1242>, [that] they may follow <7291> strong drink

<7941>; that continue <0309> until night <5399>, [till] wine

<3196> inflame <1814> them!

12 And the harp <3658>, and the viol <5035>, the tabret <8596>,

and pipe <2485>, and wine <3196>, are in their feasts <4960>:

but they regard <5027> not the work <6467> of the LORD <3068>,

neither <3808> consider <7200> the operation <4639> of his hands

<3027>.

13 Therefore <3651> my people <5971> are gone into captivity

<1540>, because [they have] no <1097> knowledge <1847>: and

their honourable <3519> men <4962> [are] famished <7458>, and

their multitude <1995> dried <6704> up with thirst <6772>.

14 Therefore <3651> hell <7585> hath enlarged <7337> herself

<5315>, and opened <6473> her mouth <6310> without <1097>

measure <2706>: and their glory <1926>, and their multitude

<1995>, and their pomp <7588>, and he that rejoiceth <5937>,

shall descend <3381> into it.

15 And the mean <0120> man <0120> shall be brought <7817> down

<7817>, and the mighty <0376> man <0376> shall be humbled <8213>,

and the eyes <5869> of the lofty <1364> shall be humbled <8213>:

16 But the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> shall be exalted <1361>

in judgment <4941>, and God <0410> that is holy <6918> shall be

sanctified <6942> in righteousness <6666>.

17 Then shall the lambs <3532> feed <7462> after their manner

<1699>, and the waste <2723> places of the fat <4220> ones shall

strangers <1481> eat <0398>.

18. Woe <1945> unto them that draw <4900> iniquity <5771> with

cords <2256> of vanity <7723>, and sin <2402> as it were with a

cart <5699> rope <5688>:

19 That say <0559>, Let him make speed <4116>, [and] hasten

<2363> his work <4639>, that we may see <7200> [it]: and let the

counsel <6098> of the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478> draw nigh

<7126> and come <0935>, that we may know <3045> [it]!

20 Woe <1945> unto them that call <0559> evil <7451> good

<2896>, and good <2896> evil <7451>; that put <7760> darkness

<2822> for light <0216>, and light <0216> for darkness <2822>;

that put <7760> bitter <4751> for sweet <4966>, and sweet <4966>

for bitter <4751>!

21 Woe <1945> unto [them that are] wise <2450> in their own

eyes <5869>, and prudent <0995> in their own sight <6440>!

22 Woe <1945> unto [them that are] mighty <1368> to drink

<8354> wine <3196>, and men <0582> of strength <2428> to mingle

<4537> strong drink <7941>:

23 Which justify <6663> the wicked <7563> for reward <7810>,

and take <5493> away <5493> the righteousness <6666> of the

righteous <6662> from him!

24 Therefore <3651> as the fire <0784> devoureth <0398> the

stubble <7179>, and the flame <3852> consumeth <7503> the chaff

<2842>, [so] their root <8328> shall be as rottenness <4716>,

and their blossom <6525> shall go <5927> up as dust <80>:

because <3588> they have cast <3988> away the law <8451> of the

LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and despised <5006> the word <0565>

of the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.

25 Therefore is the anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> kindled

<2734> against his people <5971>, and he hath stretched <5186>

forth his hand <3027> against <5921> them, and hath smitten

<5221> them: and the hills <2022> did tremble <7264>, and their

carcases <5038> [were] torn <5478> in the midst <7130> of the

streets <2351>. For all <3605> this <2063> his anger <0639> is

not turned <7725> away, but his hand <3027> [is] stretched

<5186> out still <5750>.

26 And he will lift <5375> up an ensign <5251> to the nations

<1471> from far <7350>, and will hiss <8319> unto them from the

end <7097> of the earth <0776>: and, behold <2009>, they shall

come <0935> with speed <4120> swiftly <7031>:

27 None <0369> shall be weary <5889> nor <3808> stumble <3782>

among them; none <3808> shall slumber <5123> nor <3808> sleep

<3463>; neither <3808> shall the girdle <0232> of their loins

<2504> be loosed <6605>, nor <3808> the latchet <8288> of their

shoes <5275> be broken <5423>:

28 Whose <0834> arrows <2671> [are] sharp <8150>, and all

<3605> their bows <7198> bent <1869>, their horses <5483>' hoofs

<6541> shall be counted <2803> like flint <6864>, and their

wheels <1534> like a whirlwind:

29 Their roaring <7581> [shall be] like a lion <3833>, they

shall roar <7580> like young <3715> lions <3715>: yea, they

shall roar <5098>, and lay hold <0270> of the prey <2964>, and

shall carry <6403> [it] away safe <6403>, and none <0369> shall

deliver <5337> [it].

30 And in that day <3117> they shall roar <5098> against <5921>

them like the roaring <5100> of the sea <3220>: and if [one]

look <5027> unto the land <0776>, behold <2009> darkness <2822>

[and] sorrow <6862>, and the light <0216> is darkened <2821> in

the heavens <6183> thereof.

Isaiah 6

1. In the year <8141> that king <4428> Uzziah <5818> died

<4194> I saw <7200> also the Lord <0136> sitting <3427> upon a

throne <3678>, high <7311> and lifted <5375> up, and his train

<7757> filled <4390> the temple <1964>.

2 Above <4605> it stood <5975> the seraphims <8314>: each

<0259> one <0259> had six <8337> wings <3671>; with twain <8147>

he covered <3680> his face <6440>, and with twain <8147> he

covered <3680> his feet <7272>, and with twain <8147> he did fly

<5774>.

3 And one cried <7121> unto another <2088>, and said <0559>,

Holy <6918>, holy <6918>, holy <6918>, [is] the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635>: the whole <3605> earth <0776> [is] full <4393> of

his glory <3519>.

4 And the posts <0520> of the door <5592> moved <5128> at the

voice <6963> of him that cried <7121>, and the house <1004> was

filled <4390> with smoke <6227>.

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

<1820>; because <3588> I [am] a man <0376> of unclean <2931>

lips <8193>, and I dwell <3427> in the midst <8432> of a people

<5971> of unclean <2931> lips <8193>: for mine eyes <5869> have

seen <7200> the King <4428>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

6 Then flew <5774> one <0259> of the seraphims <8314> unto me,

having a live <7531> coal <7531> in his hand <3027>, [which] he

had taken <3947> with the tongs <4457> from off <5921> the altar

<4196>:

7 And he laid <5060> [it] upon my mouth <6310>, and said <0559>,

Lo <2009>, this <2088> hath touched <5060> thy lips <8193>; and

thine iniquity <5771> is taken <5493> away <5493>, and thy sin

<2403> purged <3722>.

8 Also I heard <8085> the voice <6963> of the Lord <0136>,

saying <0559>, Whom shall I send <7971>, and who <4310> will go

<3212> for us? Then said <0559> I, Here <2005> [am] I; send

<7971> me.

9. And he said <0559>, Go <3212>, and tell <0559> this <2088>

people <5971>, Hear <8085> ye indeed, but understand <0995> not;

and see <7200> ye indeed, but perceive <3045> not.

10 Make the heart <3820> of this <2088> people <5971> fat

<8082>, and make their ears <0241> heavy <3513>, and shut <8173>

their eyes <5869>; lest <6435> they see <7200> with their eyes

<5869>, and hear <8085> with their ears <0241>, and understand

<0995> with their heart <3824>, and convert <7725>, and be

healed <7495>.

11 Then said <0559> I, Lord <0136>, how <5704> long <5704>? And

he answered <0559>, Until <5704> the cities <5892> be wasted

<7582> without <0369> inhabitant <3427>, and the houses <1004>

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

desolate <8077>,

12 And the LORD <3068> have removed <7368> men <0120> far

<7368> away, and [there be] a great <7227> forsaking <5805> in

the midst <7130> of the land <0776>.

13 But yet <5750> in it [shall be] a tenth <6224>, and [it]

shall return <7725>, and shall be eaten <1197>: as a teil <0424>

tree, and as an oak <0437>, whose <0834> substance <4678> [is]

in them, when <0834> they cast <7995> [their leaves: so] the

holy <6944> seed <2233> [shall be] the substance <4678> thereof.

Isaiah 7

1. And it came <1961> to pass in the days <3117> of Ahaz <0271>

the son <1121> of Jotham <3147>, the son <1121> of Uzziah <5818>,

king <4428> of Judah <3063>, [that] Rezin the king <4428> of

Syria <0758>, and Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425>,

king <4428> of Israel <3478>, went <5927> up toward Jerusalem

<3389> to war <4421> against <5921> it, but could <3201> not

prevail <3898> against <5921> it.

2 And it was told <5046> the house <1004> of David <1732>,

saying <0559>, Syria <0758> is confederate <5117> with Ephraim

<0669>. And his heart <3824> was moved <5128>, and the heart

<3824> of his people <5971>, as the trees <6086> of the wood

<3293> are moved <5128> with the wind <7307>.

3 Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto Isaiah <3470>, Go

<3318> forth <3318> now <4994> to meet <7125> Ahaz <0271>, thou,

and Shearjashub <7610> thy son <1121>, at <0413> the end <7097>

of the conduit <8585> of the upper <5945> pool <1295> in the

highway <4546> of the fuller's <3526> field <7704>;

4 And say <0559> unto him, Take heed <8104>, and be quiet

<8252>; fear <3372> not, neither <0408> be fainthearted <3824>

for the two <8147> tails <2180> of these <0428> smoking <6226>

firebrands <0181>, for the fierce <2750> anger <0639> of Rezin

<7526> with Syria <0758>, and of the son <1121> of Remaliah

<7425>.

5 Because Syria <0758>, Ephraim <0669>, and the son <1121> of

Remaliah <7425>, have taken evil <7451> counsel <3289> against

<5921> thee, saying <0559>,

6 Let us go <5927> up against Judah <3063>, and vex <6972> it,

and let us make a breach <1234> therein for us, and set a king

<4428> in the midst <8432> of it, [even] the son <1121> of

Tabeal <2870>:

7 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, It shall

not stand <6965>, neither <3808> shall it come <1961> to pass.

8 For the head <7218> of Syria <0758> [is] Damascus <1834>, and

the head <7218> of Damascus <1834> [is] Rezin <7526>; and within

threescore <7657> and five <2568> years <8141> shall Ephraim

<0669> be broken <2844>, that it be not a people <5971>.

9 And the head <7218> of Ephraim <0669> [is] Samaria <8111>,

and the head <7218> of Samaria <8111> [is] Remaliah's <7425> son

<1121>. If <0518> ye will not believe <0539>, surely <3588> ye

shall not be established <0539>.

10. Moreover the LORD <3068> spake <1696> again <3254> unto

Ahaz <0271>, saying <0559>,

11 Ask <7592> thee a sign <0226> of the LORD <3068> thy God

<0430>; ask <7592> it either in the depth <6009>, or <0176> in

the height <1361> above <4605>.

12 But Ahaz <0271> said <0559>, I will not ask <7592>, neither

<3808> will I tempt <5254> the LORD <3068>.

13 And he said <0559>, Hear <8085> ye now <4994>, O house

<1004> of David <1732>; [Is it] a small <4592> thing for you to

weary <3811> men <0582>, but will ye weary <3811> my God <0430>

also <1571>?

14 Therefore <3651> the Lord <0136> himself <1931> shall give

<5414> you a sign <0226>; Behold <2009>, a virgin <5959> shall

conceive <2030>, and bear <3205> a son <1121>, and shall call

<7121> his name <8034> Immanuel <6005>.

15 Butter <2529> and honey <1706> shall he eat <0398>, that he

may know <3045> to refuse <3988> the evil <7451>, and choose

<0977> the good <2896>.

16 For before <2962> the child <5288> shall know <3045> to

refuse <3988> the evil <7451>, and choose <0977> the good <2896>,

the land <0127> that thou abhorrest <6973> shall be forsaken

<5800> of both <8147> her kings <4428>.

17. The LORD <3068> shall bring <0935> upon thee, and upon thy

people <5971>, and upon thy father's <1> house <1004>, days

<3117> that have not come <0935>, from the day <3117> that

Ephraim <0669> departed <5493> from Judah <3063>; [even <0853>]

the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.

18 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

the LORD <3068> shall hiss <8319> for the fly <2070> that [is]

in the uttermost <7097> part of the rivers <2975> of Egypt

<4714>, and for the bee <1682> that [is] in the land <0776> of

Assyria <0804>.

19 And they shall come <0935>, and shall rest <5117> all <3605>

of them in the desolate <1327> valleys <5158>, and in the holes

<5357> of the rocks <5553>, and upon all <3605> thorns <5285>,

and upon all <3605> bushes <5097>.

20 In the same <1931> day <3117> shall the Lord <0136> shave

<1548> with a razor <8593> that is hired <7917>, [namely], by

them beyond <5676> the river <5104>, by the king <4428> of

Assyria <0804>, the head <7218>, and the hair <8181> of the feet

<7272>: and it shall also <1571> consume <5595> the beard <2206>.

21 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

a man <0376> shall nourish <2421> a young <1241> cow <5697>, and

two <8147> sheep <6629>;

22 And it shall come <1961> to pass, for the abundance <7230>

of milk <2461> [that] they shall give <6213> he shall eat <0398>

butter <2529>: for butter <2529> and honey <1706> shall every

<3605> one eat <0398> that is left <3498> in the land <0776>.

23 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

every <3605> place <4725> shall be, where <0834> there were a

thousand <0505> vines <1612> at a thousand <0505> silverlings

<3701>, it shall [even] be for briers <8068> and thorns <7898>.

24 With arrows <2671> and with bows <7198> shall [men] come

<0935> thither <8033>; because <3588> all <3605> the land <0776>

shall become <1961> briers <8068> and thorns <7898>.

25 And [on] all <3605> hills <2022> that shall be digged <5737>

with the mattock <4576>, there shall not come <0935> thither

<8033> the fear <3374> of briers <8068> and thorns <7898>: but

it shall be for the sending <4916> forth of oxen <7794>, and for

the treading <4823> of lesser <7716> cattle <7716>.

Isaiah 8

1. Moreover the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Take <3947>

thee a great <1419> roll <1549>, and write <3789> in it with a

man's <0582> pen <2747> concerning Mahershalalhashbaz <4122>.

2 And I took unto me faithful <0539> witnesses <5707> to record

<5749>, Uriah <0223> the priest <3548>, and Zechariah <2148> the

son <1121> of Jeberechiah <3000>.

3 And I went <7126> unto the prophetess <5031>; and she

conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> a son <1121>. Then said <0559>

the LORD <3068> to me, Call <7121> his name <8034>

Mahershalalhashbaz <4122>.

4 For before <2962> the child <5288> shall have knowledge

<3045> to cry <7121>, My father <1>, and my mother <0517>, the

riches <2428> of Damascus <1834> and the spoil <7998> of Samaria

<8111> shall be taken <5375> away before <6440> the king <4428>

of Assyria <0804>.

5 The LORD <3068> spake <1696> also unto me again <3254>,

saying <0559>,

6 Forasmuch as this <2088> people <5971> refuseth <3988> the

waters <4325> of Shiloah <7975> that go <1980> softly <0328>,

and rejoice <4885> in Rezin <7526> and Remaliah's <7425> son

<1121>;

7 Now therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the Lord <0136> bringeth

<5927> up upon them the waters <4325> of the river <5104>,

strong <6099> and many <7227>, [even <0853>] the king <4428> of

Assyria <0804>, and all <3605> his glory <3519>: and he shall

come <5927> up over <5921> all <3605> his channels <0650>, and

go <1980> over <5921> all <3605> his banks <1415>:

8 And he shall pass <2498> through Judah <3063>; he shall

overflow <7857> and go <5674> over <5674>, he shall reach <5060>

[even] to the neck <6677>; and the stretching <4298> out of his

wings <3671> shall fill <4393> the breadth <7341> of thy land

<0776>, O Immanuel <6005>.

9. Associate <7489> yourselves, O ye people <5971>, and ye

shall be broken <2844> in pieces; and give ear <0238>, all

<3605> ye of far <4801> countries <0776>: gird <0247> yourselves,

and ye shall be broken <2844> in pieces; gird <0247> yourselves,

and ye shall be broken <2844> in pieces.

10 Take counsel <6098> together, and it shall come to nought

<6565>; speak <1696> the word <1697>, and it shall not stand

<6965>: for God <0410> [is] with us.

11 For the LORD <3068> spake <0559> thus <3541> to me with a

strong <2393> hand <3027>, and instructed <3256> me that I

should not walk <3212> in the way <1870> of this <2088> people

<5971>, saying <0559>,

12 Say <0559> ye not, A confederacy <7195>, to all <3605> [them

to] whom <0834> this <2088> people <5971> shall say <0559>, A

confederacy <7195>; neither <3808> fear <3372> ye their fear

<4172>, nor <3808> be afraid <6206>.

13 Sanctify <6942> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> himself; and

[let] him [be] your fear <4172>, and [let] him [be] your dread

<6206>.

14 And he shall be for a sanctuary <4720>; but for a stone <68>

of stumbling <5063> and for a rock <6697> of offence <4383> to

both <8147> the houses <1004> of Israel <3478>, for a gin <6341>

and for a snare <4170> to the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem

<3389>.

15 And many <7227> among them shall stumble <3782>, and fall

<5307>, and be broken <7665>, and be snared <3369>, and be taken

<3920>.

16. Bind <6887> up the testimony <8584>, seal <2856> the law

<8451> among my disciples <3928>.

17 And I will wait <2442> upon the LORD <3068>, that hideth

<5641> his face <6440> from the house <1004> of Jacob <3290>,

and I will look <6960> for him.

18 Behold <2009>, I and the children <3206> whom <0834> the

LORD <3068> hath given <5414> me [are] for signs <0226> and for

wonders <4159> in Israel <3478> from the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>, which dwelleth <7931> in mount <2022> Zion <6726>.

19 And when <3588> they shall say <0559> unto you, Seek <1875>

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

<3049> that peep <6850>, and that mutter <1897>: should not a

people <5971> seek <1875> unto their God <0430>? for the living

<2416> to the dead <4191>?

20 To the law <8451> and to the testimony <8584>: if <0518>

they speak <0559> not according to this <2088> word <1697>, [it

is] because <0834> [there is] no <0369> light <7837> in them.

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

and hungry <7456>: and it shall come <1961> to pass, that when

<3588> they shall be hungry <7456>, they shall fret <7107>

themselves, and curse <7043> their king <4428> and their God

<0430>, and look <6437> upward <4605>.

22 And they shall look <5027> unto the earth <0776>; and behold

<2009> trouble <6869> and darkness <2825>, dimness <4588> of

anguish <6695>; and [they shall be] driven <5080> to darkness

<0653>.

Isaiah 9

1. Nevertheless <3588> the dimness <4155> [shall] not [be] such

as [was] in her vexation <4164>, when <6256> at the first <7223>

he lightly <7043> afflicted <7043> the land <0776> of Zebulun

<2074> and the land <0776> of Naphtali <5321>, and afterward

<0314> did more grievously <3513> afflict <3513> [her by] the

way <1870> of the sea <3220>, beyond <5676> Jordan <3383>, in

Galilee <1551> of the nations <1471>.

2 The people <5971> that walked <1980> in darkness <2822> have

seen <7200> a great <1419> light <0216>: they that dwell <3427>

in the land <0776> of the shadow <6757> of death <6757>, upon

them hath the light <0216> shined <5050>.

3 Thou hast multiplied <7235> the nation <1471>, [and] not

increased <1431> the joy <8057>: they joy <8055> before <6440>

thee according to the joy <8055> in harvest <7105>, [and] as

[men] rejoice <1523> when they divide <2505> the spoil <7998>.

4 For thou hast broken <2865> the yoke <5923> of his burden

<5448>, and the staff <4294> of his shoulder <7926>, the rod

<7626> of his oppressor <5065>, as in the day <3117> of Midian

<4080>.

5 For every <3605> battle <5430> of the warrior <5431> [is]

with confused <7494> noise, and garments <8071> rolled <1556> in

blood <1818>; but [this] shall be with burning <8316> [and] fuel

<3980> of fire <0784>.

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

<1121> is given <5414>: and the government <4951> shall be upon

his shoulder <7926>: and his name <8034> shall be called <7121>

Wonderful <6382>, Counsellor <3289>, The mighty <1368> God

<0410>, The everlasting <5703> Father <1>, The Prince <8269> of

Peace <7965>.

7 Of the increase <4768> of [his] government <4951> and peace

<7965> [there shall be] no <0369> end <7093>, upon the throne

<3678> of David <1732>, and upon his kingdom <4467>, to order

<3559> it, and to establish <5582> it with judgment <4941> and

with justice <6666> from henceforth <6258> even for ever <5769>.

The zeal <7068> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> will perform

<6213> this <2063>.

8. The Lord <3068> sent <7971> a word <1697> into Jacob <3290>,

and it hath lighted <5307> upon Israel <3478>.

9 And all <3605> the people <5971> shall know <3045>, [even]

Ephraim <0669> and the inhabitant <3427> of Samaria <8111>, that

say <0559> in the pride <1346> and stoutness <1433> of heart

<3824>,

10 The bricks <3843> are fallen <5307> down, but we will build

<1129> with hewn <1496> stones <1496>: the sycomores <8256> are

cut <1438> down <1438>, but we will change <2498> [them into]

cedars <0730>.

11 Therefore the LORD <3068> shall set <7682> up the

adversaries <6862> of Rezin <7526> against <5921> him, and join

<5526> his enemies <0341> together;

12 The Syrians <0758> before <6924>, and the Philistines <6430>

behind <0268>; and they shall devour <0398> Israel <3478> with

open <6605> mouth <6310>. For all <3605> this <2063> his anger

<0639> is not turned <7725> away, but his hand <3027> [is]

stretched <5186> out still <5750>.

13 For the people <5971> turneth <7725> not unto him that

smiteth <5221> them, neither <3808> do they seek <1875> the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635>.

14 Therefore the LORD <3068> will cut <3772> off from Israel

<3478> head <7218> and tail <2180>, branch <3712> and rush

<0100>, in one <0259> day <3117>.

15 The ancient <2204> and honourable, he [is] the head <7218>;

and the prophet <5030> that teacheth <3384> lies <8267>, he [is]

the tail <2180>.

16 For the leaders <0833> of this <2088> people <5971> cause

[them] to err <8582>; and [they that are] led <0833> of them

[are] destroyed <1104>.

17 Therefore the Lord <0136> shall have no <3808> joy <8055> in

their young <0970> men, neither <3808> shall have mercy <7355>

on their fatherless <3490> and widows <0490>: for every <3605>

one [is] an hypocrite <2611> and an evildoer <7489>, and every

<3605> mouth <6310> speaketh <1696> folly <5039>. For all <3605>

this <2063> his anger <0639> is not turned <7725> away, but his

hand <3027> [is] stretched <5186> out still <5750>.

18 For wickedness <7564> burneth <1197> as the fire <0784>: it

shall devour <0398> the briers <8068> and thorns <7898>, and

shall kindle <3341> in the thickets <5442> of the forest <3293>,

and they shall mount <55> up [like] the lifting <1348> up of

smoke <6227>.

19 Through the wrath <5678> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>

is the land <0776> darkened <6272>, and the people <5971> shall

be as the fuel <3980> of the fire <0784>: no <3808> man <0376>

shall spare <2550> his brother <0251>.

20 And he shall snatch <1504> on <5921> the right <3225> hand

<3225>, and be hungry <7456>; and he shall eat <0398> on <5921>

the left <8040> hand <8040>, and they shall not be satisfied

<7646>: they shall eat <0398> every man <0376> the flesh <1320>

of his own arm <2220>:

21 Manasseh <4519>, Ephraim <0669>; and Ephraim <0669>,

Manasseh <4519>: [and] they together <3162> [shall be] against

<5921> Judah <3063>. For all <3605> this <2063> his anger <0639>

is not turned <7725> away, but his hand <3027> [is] stretched

<5186> out still <5750>.

Isaiah 10

1. Woe <1945> unto them that decree <2710> unrighteous <0205>

decrees <2711>, and that write <3789> grievousness <5999>

[which] they have prescribed <3789>;

2 To turn <5186> aside <5186> the needy <1800> from judgment

<1779>, and to take <1497> away <1497> the right <4941> from the

poor <6041> of my people <5971>, that widows <0490> may be their

prey <7998>, and [that] they may rob <0962> the fatherless

<3490>!

3 And what <4100> will ye do <6213> in the day <3117> of

visitation <6486>, and in the desolation <7722> [which] shall

come <0935> from far <4801>? to whom <4310> will ye flee <5127>

for help <5833>? and where <0575> will ye leave <5800> your

glory <3519>?

4 Without <1115> me they shall bow <3766> down <3766> under

<8478> the prisoners <0616>, and they shall fall <5307> under

<8478> the slain <2026>. For all <3605> this <2063> his anger

<0639> is not turned <7725> away, but his hand <3027> [is]

stretched <5186> out still <5750>.

5. O Assyrian <0804>, the rod <7626> of mine anger <0639>, and

the staff <4294> in their hand <3027> is mine indignation <2195>.

6 I will send <7971> him against an hypocritical <2611> nation

<1471>, and against <5921> the people <5971> of my wrath <5678>

will I give him a charge <6680>, to take <7997> the spoil <7998>,

and to take <0962> the prey <0957>, and to tread <4823> them

down like the mire <2563> of the streets <2351>.

7 Howbeit he meaneth <1819> not so <3651>, neither <3808> doth

his heart <3824> think <2803> so <3651>; but [it is] in his

heart <3824> to destroy <8045> and cut <3772> off nations <1471>

not a few <4592>.

8 For he saith <0559>, [Are] not my princes <8269> altogether

<3162> kings <4428>?

9 [Is] not Calno <3641> as Carchemish <3751>? [is] not Hamath

<2574> as Arpad <0774>? [is] not Samaria <8111> as Damascus

<1834>?

10 As my hand <3027> hath found <4672> the kingdoms <4467> of

the idols <0457>, and whose graven <6456> images did excel them

of Jerusalem <3389> and of Samaria <8111>;

11 Shall I not, as I have done <6466> unto Samaria <8111> and

her idols <0457>, so <3651> do <6213> to Jerusalem <3389> and

her idols <6091>?

12 Wherefore it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] when <3588>

the Lord <0136> hath performed <1214> his whole work <4639> upon

mount <2022> Zion <6726> and on Jerusalem <3389>, I will punish

<6485> the fruit <6529> of the stout <1433> heart <3824> of the

king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and the glory <8597> of his high

<7312> looks <5869>.

13 For he saith <0559>, By the strength <3581> of my hand

<3027> I have done <6466> [it], and by my wisdom <2451>; for I

am prudent <0995>: and I have removed <5493> the bounds <1367>

of the people <5971>, and have robbed <8154> their treasures

<6259>, and I have put <3381> down <3381> the inhabitants <3427>

like a valiant <3524> [man]:

14 And my hand <3027> hath found <4672> as a nest <7064> the

riches <2428> of the people <5971>: and as one gathereth <0622>

eggs <1000> [that are] left <5800>, have I gathered <0622> all

<3605> the earth <0776>; and there was none <3808> that moved

<5074> the wing <3671>, or opened <6473> the mouth <6310>, or

peeped <6850>.

15 Shall the axe <1631> boast <6286> itself against <5921> him

that heweth <2672> therewith? [or] shall the saw <4883> magnify

<1431> itself against <5921> him that shaketh <5130> it? as if

the rod <7626> should shake <5130> [itself] against them that

lift <7311> it up, [or] as if the staff <4294> should lift

<7311> up [itself, as if it were] no <3808> wood <6086>.

16 Therefore <3651> shall the Lord <0113>, the Lord <0136> of

hosts <6635>, send <7971> among his fat <4924> ones leanness

<7332>; and under <8478> his glory <3519> he shall kindle <3344>

a burning <3350> like the burning <3345> of a fire <0784>.

17 And the light <0216> of Israel <3478> shall be for a fire

<0784>, and his Holy <6918> One for a flame <3852>: and it shall

burn <1197> and devour <0398> his thorns <7898> and his briers

<8068> in one <0259> day <3117>;

18 And shall consume <3615> the glory <3519> of his forest

<3293>, and of his fruitful <3759> field, both soul <5315> and

body <1320>: and they shall be as when a standardbearer <5264>

fainteth <4549>.

19 And the rest <7605> of the trees <6086> of his forest <3293>

shall be few <4557>, that a child <5288> may write <3789> them.

20. And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

the remnant <7605> of Israel <3478>, and such as are escaped

<6413> of the house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, shall no <3808> more

<5750> again <3254> stay <4937> upon him that smote <5221> them;

but shall stay <8172> upon the LORD <3068>, the Holy <6918> One

of Israel <3478>, in truth <0571>.

21 The remnant <7605> shall return <7725>, [even] the remnant

<7605> of Jacob <3290>, unto the mighty <1368> God <0410>.

22 For though <0518> thy people <5971> Israel <3478> be as the

sand <2344> of the sea <3220>, [yet] a remnant <7605> of them

shall return <7725>: the consumption <3631> decreed <2782> shall

overflow <7857> with righteousness <6666>.

23 For the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635> shall make

<6213> a consumption <3617>, even determined <2782>, in the

midst <7130> of all <3605> the land <0776>.

24. Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>, O my people <5971> that dwellest

<3427> in Zion <6726>, be not afraid <3372> of the Assyrian

<0804>: he shall smite <5221> thee with a rod <7626>, and shall

lift <5375> up his staff <4294> against <5921> thee, after the

manner <1870> of Egypt <4714>.

25 For yet <5750> a very <4213> little <4592> while, and the

indignation <2195> shall cease <3615>, and mine anger <0639> in

their destruction <8399>.

26 And the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> shall stir <5782> up a

scourge <7752> for him according to the slaughter <4347> of

Midian <4080> at the rock <6697> of Oreb <6157>: and [as] his

rod <4294> [was] upon the sea <3220>, so shall he lift <5375> it

up after the manner <1870> of Egypt <4714>.

27 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

his burden <5448> shall be taken <5493> away <5493> from off

<5921> thy shoulder <7926>, and his yoke <5923> from off <5921>

thy neck <6677>, and the yoke <5923> shall be destroyed <2254>

because <6440> of the anointing <8081>.

28 He is come <0935> to Aiath <5857>, he is passed <5674> to

Migron <4051>; at Michmash <4363> he hath laid <6485> up his

carriages <3627>:

29 They are gone <5674> over <5674> the passage <4569>: they

have taken <3885> up their lodging <4411> at Geba <1387>; Ramah

<7414> is afraid <2729>; Gibeah <1390> of Saul <7586> is fled

<5127>.

30 Lift <6670> up thy voice <6963>, O daughter <1323> of Gallim

<1554>: cause it to be heard <7181> unto Laish <3919>, O poor

<6041> Anathoth <6068>.

31 Madmenah <4088> is removed <5074>; the inhabitants <3427> of

Gebim <1374> gather <5756> themselves to flee.

32 As yet <5750> shall he remain <5975> at Nob <5011> that day

<3117>: he shall shake <5130> his hand <3027> [against] the

mount <2022> of the daughter <1004> of Zion <6726>, the hill

<1389> of Jerusalem <3389>.

33 Behold <2009>, the Lord <0113>, the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>, shall lop <5586> the bough <6288> with terror <4637>:

and the high <7312> ones of stature <6967> [shall be] hewn

<1438> down <1438>, and the haughty <1364> shall be humbled

<8213>.

34 And he shall cut <5362> down the thickets <5442> of the

forest <3293> with iron <1270>, and Lebanon <3844> shall fall

<5307> by a mighty <0117> one.

Isaiah 11

1. And there shall come <3318> forth <3318> a rod <2415> out of

the stem <1503> of Jesse <3448>, and a Branch <5342> shall grow

<6509> out of his roots <8328>:

2 And the spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068> shall rest <5117>

upon him, the spirit <7307> of wisdom <2451> and understanding

<0998>, the spirit <7307> of counsel <6098> and might <1369>,

the spirit <7307> of knowledge <1847> and of the fear <3374> of

the LORD <3068>;

3 And shall make him of quick understanding <7306> in the fear

<3374> of the LORD <3068>: and he shall not judge <8199> after

the sight <4758> of his eyes <5869>, neither <3808> reprove

<3198> after <0310> the hearing <4926> of his ears <0241>:

4 But with righteousness <6664> shall he judge <8199> the poor

<1800>, and reprove <3198> with equity <4334> for the meek

<6035> of the earth <0776>: and he shall smite <5221> the earth

<0776> with the rod <7626> of his mouth <6310>, and with the

breath <7307> of his lips <8193> shall he slay <4191> the wicked

<7563>.

5 And righteousness <6664> shall be the girdle <0232> of his

loins <4975>, and faithfulness <0530> the girdle <0232> of his

reins <2504>.

6 The wolf <2061> also shall dwell <1481> with the lamb <3532>,

and the leopard <5246> shall lie <7257> down <7257> with the kid

<1423>; and the calf <5695> and the young <3715> lion <3715> and

the fatling <4806> together <3162>; and a little <6995> child

<5288> shall lead <5090> them.

7 And the cow <6510> and the bear <1677> shall feed <7462>;

their young <3206> ones shall lie <7257> down <7257> together

<3162>: and the lion <0738> shall eat <0398> straw <8401> like

the ox <1241>.

8 And the sucking <3243> child shall play <8173> on <5921> the

hole <2356> of the asp <6620>, and the weaned <1580> child shall

put <1911> his hand <3027> on <5921> the cockatrice <6848>' den

<3975>.

9 They shall not hurt <7489> nor <3808> destroy <7843> in all

<3605> my holy <6944> mountain <2022>: for the earth <0776>

shall be full <4390> of the knowledge <1844> of the LORD <3068>,

as the waters <4325> cover <3680> the sea <3220>.

10. And in that day <3117> there shall be a root <8328> of

Jesse <3448>, which <0834> shall stand <5975> for an ensign

<5251> of the people <5971>; to it shall the Gentiles <1471>

seek <1875>: and his rest <4496> shall be glorious <3519>.

11 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

the Lord <0136> shall set his hand <3027> again <3254> the

second <8145> time <6256> to recover <7069> the remnant <7605>

of his people <5971>, which <0834> shall be left <7604>, from

Assyria <0804>, and from Egypt <4714>, and from Pathros <6624>,

and from Cush <3568>, and from Elam <5867>, and from Shinar

<8152>, and from Hamath <2574>, and from the islands <0339> of

the sea <3220>.

12 And he shall set <5375> up an ensign <5251> for the nations

<1471>, and shall assemble <0622> the outcasts <1760> of Israel

<3478>, and gather <6908> together the dispersed <5310> of Judah

<3063> from the four <0702> corners <3671> of the earth <0776>.

13 The envy <7068> also of Ephraim <0669> shall depart <5493>,

and the adversaries <6887> of Judah <3063> shall be cut <3772>

off: Ephraim <0669> shall not envy <7065> Judah <3063>, and

Judah <3063> shall not vex <6887> Ephraim <0669>.

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

Philistines <6430> toward the west <3220>; they shall spoil

<0962> them of the east <6924> together <3162>: they shall lay

<7971> their hand <3027> upon Edom <0123> and Moab <4124>; and

the children <1121> of Ammon <5983> shall obey <4928> them.

15 And the LORD <3068> shall utterly destroy <2763> the tongue

<3956> of the Egyptian <4714> sea <3220>; and with his mighty

<5868> wind <7307> shall he shake <5130> his hand <3027> over

<5921> the river <5104>, and shall smite <5221> it in the seven

<7651> streams <5158>, and make [men] go <1869> over <1869>

dryshod <5275>.

16 And there shall be an highway <4546> for the remnant <7605>

of his people <5971>, which <0834> shall be left <7604>, from

Assyria <0804>; like as it was to Israel <3478> in the day

<3117> that he came <5927> up out of the land <0776> of Egypt

<4714>.

Isaiah 12

1. And in that day <3117> thou shalt say <0559>, O LORD <3068>,

I will praise <3034> thee: though <3588> thou wast angry <0599>

with me, thine anger <0639> is turned <7725> away, and thou

comfortedst <5162> me.

2 Behold <2009>, God <0410> [is] my salvation <3444>; I will

trust <0982>, and not be afraid <6342>: for the LORD <3050>

JEHOVAH <3068> [is] my strength <5797> and [my] song <2176>; he

also is become <1961> my salvation <3444>.

3 Therefore with joy <8342> shall ye draw <7579> water <4325>

out of the wells <4599> of salvation <3444>.

4. And in that day <3117> shall ye say <0559>, Praise <3034>

the LORD <3068>, call <7121> upon his name <8034>, declare

<3045> his doings <5949> among the people <5971>, make mention

<2142> that his name <8034> is exalted <7682>.

5 Sing <2167> unto the LORD <3068>; for he hath done <6466>

excellent <1348> things: this <2063> [is] known <3045> in all

<3605> the earth <0776>.

6 Cry <6670> out and shout <7442>, thou inhabitant <3427> of

Zion <6726>: for great <1419> [is] the Holy <6918> One of Israel

<3478> in the midst <7130> of thee.

Isaiah 13

1. The burden <4853> of Babylon <0894>, which <0834> Isaiah

<3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531> did see <2372>.

2 Lift <5375> ye up a banner <5251> upon the high <8192>

mountain <2022>, exalt <7311> the voice <6963> unto them, shake

<5130> the hand <3027>, that they may go <0935> into the gates

<6607> of the nobles <5081>.

3 I have commanded <6680> my sanctified <6942> ones, I have

also <1571> called <7121> my mighty <1368> ones for mine anger

<0639>, [even] them that rejoice <5947> in my highness <1346>.

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

<2022>, like <1823> as of a great <7227> people <5971>; a

tumultuous <7588> noise <6963> of the kingdoms <4467> of nations

<1471> gathered <0622> together: the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>

mustereth <6485> the host <6635> of the battle <4421>.

5 They come <0935> from a far <4801> country <0776>, from the

end <7093> of heaven <8064>, [even] the LORD <3068>, and the

weapons <3627> of his indignation <2195>, to destroy <2254> the

whole <3605> land <0776>.

6. Howl <3213> ye; for the day <3117> of the LORD <3068> [is]

at <7138> hand <7138>; it shall come <0935> as a destruction

<7701> from the Almighty <7706>.

7 Therefore shall all <3605> hands <3027> be faint <7503>, and

every <3605> man's <0582> heart <3824> shall melt <4549>:

8 And they shall be afraid <0926>: pangs <6735> and sorrows

<2256> shall take <0270> hold <0270> of them; they shall be in

pain <2342> as a woman that travaileth <3205>: they shall be

amazed <8539> one <0376> at <0413> another <7453>; their faces

<6440> [shall be as] flames <3851>.

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

<0935>, cruel <0394> both with wrath <5678> and fierce <2740>

anger <0639>, to lay the land <0776> desolate <8047>: and he

shall destroy <8045> the sinners <2400> thereof out of it.

10 For the stars <3556> of heaven <8064> and the constellations

<3685> thereof shall not give their light <0216>: the sun <8121>

shall be darkened <2821> in his going <3318> forth <3318>, and

the moon <3394> shall not cause her light <0216> to shine <5050>.

11 And I will punish <6485> the world <8398> for [their] evil

<7451>, and the wicked <7563> for their iniquity <5771>; and I

will cause the arrogancy <1347> of the proud <2086> to cease

<7673>, and will lay low <8213> the haughtiness <1346> of the

terrible <6184>.

12 I will make a man <0582> more precious <3365> than fine gold

<6337>; even a man <0120> than the golden <3800> wedge of Ophir

<0211>.

13 Therefore I will shake <7264> the heavens <8064>, and the

earth <0776> shall remove <7493> out of her place <4725>, in the

wrath <5678> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and in the day

<3117> of his fierce <2740> anger <0639>.

14 And it shall be as the chased <5080> roe <6643>, and as a

sheep <6629> that no <0369> man taketh <6908> up: they shall

every man <0376> turn <6437> to his own people <5971>, and flee

<5127> every <0376> one into <0413> his own land <0776>.

15 Every <3605> one that is found <4672> shall be thrust <1856>

through <1856>; and every <3605> one that is joined <5595> [unto

them] shall fall <5307> by the sword <2719>.

16 Their children <5768> also shall be dashed <7376> to pieces

before their eyes <5869>; their houses <1004> shall be spoiled

<8155>, and their wives <0802> ravished <7693>.

17 Behold <2005>, I will stir <5782> up the Medes <4074>

against <5921> them, which <0834> shall not regard <2803> silver

<3701>; and [as for] gold <2091>, they shall not delight <2654>

in it.

18 [Their] bows <7198> also shall dash <7376> the young <5288>

men to pieces; and they shall have no <3808> pity <7355> on the

fruit <6529> of the womb <0990>; their eye <5869> shall not

spare <2347> children <1121>.

19. And Babylon <0894>, the glory <6643> of kingdoms <4467>,

the beauty <8597> of the Chaldees <3778>' excellency <1347>,

shall be as when God <0430> overthrew <4114> Sodom <5467> and

Gomorrah <6017>.

20 It shall never be inhabited <3427>, neither <3808> shall it

be dwelt <7931> in from generation <1755> to generation <1755>:

neither <3808> shall the Arabian <6153> pitch <0167> tent <0167>

there <8033>; neither <3808> shall the shepherds <7462> make

their fold <7257> there <8033>.

21 But wild <6728> beasts <6728> of the desert <6728> shall lie

<7257> there <8033>; and their houses <1004> shall be full

<4390> of doleful <0255> creatures <0255>; and owls shall dwell

<7931> there <8033>, and satyrs <8163> shall dance <7540> there

<8033>.

22 And the wild <0338> beasts <0338> of the islands <0338>

shall cry <6030> in their desolate <0490> houses <0490>, and

dragons <8577> in [their] pleasant <6027> palaces <1964>: and

her time <6256> [is] near <7138> to come <0935>, and her days

<3117> shall not be prolonged <4900>.

Isaiah 14

1. For the LORD <3068> will have mercy <7355> on Jacob <3290>,

and will yet <5750> choose <0977> Israel <3478>, and set <3240>

them in their own land <0127>: and the strangers <1616> shall be

joined <3867> with them, and they shall cleave <5596> to the

house <1004> of Jacob <3290>.

2 And the people <5971> shall take <3947> them, and bring

<0935> them to their place <4725>: and the house <1004> of

Israel <3478> shall possess <5157> them in the land <0127> of

the LORD <3068> for servants <5650> and handmaids <8198>: and

they shall take them captives <7617>, whose captives <7617> they

were; and they shall rule <7287> over their oppressors <5065>.

3 And it shall come <1961> to pass in the day <3117> that the

LORD <3068> shall give thee rest <5117> from thy sorrow <6090>,

and from thy fear <7267>, and from the hard <7186> bondage

<5656> wherein <0834> thou wast made to serve <5647>,

4. That thou shalt take <5375> up this <2088> proverb <4912>

against <5921> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and say <0559>,

How <0349> hath the oppressor <5065> ceased <7673>! the golden

<4062> city <4062> ceased <7673>!

5 The LORD <3068> hath broken <7665> the staff <4294> of the

wicked <7563>, [and] the sceptre <7626> of the rulers <4910>.

6 He who smote <5221> the people <5971> in wrath <5678> with a

continual stroke <4347>, he that ruled <7287> the nations <1471>

in anger <0639>, is persecuted <4783>, [and] none <1097>

hindereth <2820>.

7 The whole <3605> earth <0776> is at rest <5117>, [and] is

quiet <8252>: they break <6476> forth into singing <7440>.

8 Yea <1571>, the fir <1265> trees rejoice <8055> at thee,

[and] the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <3844>, [saying], Since

<0227> thou art laid <7901> down <7901>, no <3808> feller <3772>

is come <5927> up against <5921> us.

9 Hell <7585> from beneath <8478> is moved <7264> for thee to

meet <7125> [thee] at thy coming <0935>: it stirreth <5782> up

the dead <7496> for thee, [even] all <3605> the chief <6260>

ones of the earth <0776>; it hath raised <6965> up from their

thrones <3678> all <3605> the kings <4428> of the nations <1471>.

10 All <3605> they shall speak <6030> and say <0559> unto thee,

Art thou also <1571> become <2470> weak <2470> as we? art thou

become <4911> like <4911> unto us?

11 Thy pomp <1347> is brought <3381> down <3381> to the grave

<7585>, [and] the noise <1998> of thy viols <5035>: the worm

<7415> is spread <3331> under <8478> thee, and the worms <8438>

cover <4374> thee.

12 How <0349> art thou fallen <5307> from heaven <8064>, O

Lucifer <1966>, son <1121> of the morning <7837>! [how <0349>]

art thou cut <1438> down <1438> to the ground <0776>, which

didst weaken <2522> the nations <1471>!

13 For thou hast said <0559> in thine heart <3824>, I will

ascend <5927> into heaven <8064>, I will exalt <7311> my throne

<3678> above <4605> the stars <3556> of God <0410>: I will sit

<3427> also upon the mount <2022> of the congregation <4150>, in

the sides <3411> of the north <6828>:

14 I will ascend <5927> above <5921> the heights <1116> of the

clouds <5645>; I will be like <1819> the most <5945> High <5945>.

15 Yet <0389> thou shalt be brought <3381> down <3381> to hell

<7585>, to the sides <3411> of the pit <0953>.

16 They that see <7200> thee shall narrowly look <7688> upon

thee, [and] consider <0995> thee, [saying <0559>, Is] this

<2088> the man <0376> that made the earth <0776> to tremble

<7264>, that did shake <7493> kingdoms <4467>;

17 [That] made <7760> the world <8398> as a wilderness <4057>,

and destroyed <2040> the cities <5892> thereof; [that] opened

<6605> not the house <1004> of his prisoners <0615>?

18 All <3605> the kings <4428> of the nations <1471>, [even]

all <3605> of them, lie <7901> in glory <3519>, every <0376> one

<0376> in his own house <1004>.

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

abominable <8581> branch <5342>, [and as] the raiment <3830> of

those that are slain <2026>, thrust <2944> through <2944> with a

sword <2719>, that go <3381> down <3381> to the stones <68> of

the pit <0953>; as a carcase <6297> trodden <0947> under feet.

20 Thou shalt not be joined <3161> with them in burial <6900>,

because <3588> thou hast destroyed <7843> thy land <0776>, [and]

slain <2026> thy people <5971>: the seed <2233> of evildoers

<7489> shall never be renowned <7121>.

21 Prepare <3559> slaughter <4293> for his children <1121> for

the iniquity <5771> of their fathers <1>; that they do not rise

<6965>, nor possess <3423> the land <0776>, nor fill <4390> the

face <6440> of the world <8398> with cities <5892>.

22 For I will rise <6965> up against <5921> them, saith <5002>

the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and cut <3772> off from Babylon

<0894> the name <8034>, and remnant <7605>, and son <5209>, and

nephew <5220>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

23 I will also make <7760> it a possession <4180> for the

bittern <7090>, and pools <98> of water <4325>: and I will sweep

<2894> it with the besom <4292> of destruction <8045>, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

24. The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath sworn <7650>, saying

<0559>, Surely as I have thought <1819>, so shall it come <1961>

to pass; and as I have purposed <3289>, [so <3651>] shall it

stand <6965>:

25 That I will break <7665> the Assyrian <0804> in my land

<0776>, and upon my mountains <2022> tread <0947> him under foot

<0947>: then shall his yoke <5923> depart <5493> from off <5921>

them, and his burden <5448> depart <5493> from off <5921> their

shoulders <7926>.

26 This <2063> [is] the purpose <6098> that is purposed <3289>

upon the whole <3605> earth <0776>: and this <2063> [is] the

hand <3027> that is stretched <5186> out upon all <3605> the

nations <1471>.

27 For the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath purposed <3289>,

and who <4310> shall disannul <6565> [it]? and his hand <3027>

[is] stretched <5186> out, and who <4310> shall turn <7725> it

back <7725>?

28 In the year <8141> that king <4428> Ahaz <0271> died <4194>

was this <2088> burden <4853>.

29 Rejoice <8055> not thou, whole <3605> Palestina <6429>,

because <3588> the rod <7626> of him that smote <5221> thee is

broken <7665>: for out of the serpent's <5175> root <8328> shall

come <3318> forth <3318> a cockatrice <6848>, and his fruit

<6529> [shall be] a fiery <8314> flying <5774> serpent <8314>.

30 And the firstborn <1060> of the poor <1800> shall feed

<7462>, and the needy <34> shall lie <7257> down <7257> in

safety <0983>: and I will kill <4191> thy root <8328> with

famine <7458>, and he shall slay <2026> thy remnant <7611>.

31 Howl <3213>, O gate <8179>; cry <2199>, O city <5892>; thou,

whole <3605> Palestina <6429>, [art] dissolved <4127>: for there

shall come <0935> from the north <6828> a smoke <6227>, and none

<0369> [shall be] alone <0909> in his appointed <4151> times

<4151>.

32 What <4100> shall [one] then answer <6030> the messengers

<4397> of the nation <1471>? That the LORD <3068> hath founded

<3245> Zion <6726>, and the poor <6041> of his people <5971>

shall trust <2620> in it.

Isaiah 15

1. The burden <4853> of Moab <4124>. Because <3588> in the

night <3915> Ar <6144> of Moab <4124> is laid waste <7703>,

[and] brought <1820> to silence <1820>; because <3588> in the

night <3915> Kir <7024> of Moab <4124> is laid waste <7703>,

[and] brought <1820> to silence;

2 He is gone <5927> up to Bajith <1006>, and to Dibon <1769>,

the high <1116> places, to weep <1065>: Moab <4124> shall howl

<3213> over <5921> Nebo <5015>, and over <5921> Medeba <4311>:

on all <3605> their heads <7218> [shall be] baldness <7144>,

[and] every <3605> beard <2206> cut <1438> off.

3 In their streets <2351> they shall gird <2296> themselves

with sackcloth <8242>: on <5921> the tops <1406> of their houses,

and in their streets <7339>, every <3605> one shall howl <3213>,

weeping <1065> abundantly <3381>.

4 And Heshbon <2809> shall cry <2199>, and Elealeh <0500>:

their voice <6963> shall be heard <8085> [even] unto Jahaz

<3096>: therefore the armed <2502> soldiers <2502> of Moab

<4124> shall cry <7321> out; his life <5315> shall be grievous

<3415> unto him.

5 My heart <3820> shall cry <2199> out for Moab <4124>; his

fugitives <1280> [shall flee] unto Zoar <6820>, an heifer <5697>

of three <7992> years old <7992>: for by the mounting <4608> up

of Luhith <3872> with weeping <1065> shall they go <5927> it up;

for in the way <1870> of Horonaim <2773> they shall raise <5782>

up a cry <2201> of destruction <7667>.

6. For the waters <4325> of Nimrim <5249> shall be desolate

<4923>: for the hay <2682> is withered <3001> away, the grass

<1877> faileth <3615>, there is no <3808> green <3418> thing.

7 Therefore the abundance <3502> they have gotten <6213>, and

that which they have laid <6486> up, shall they carry <5375>

away to the brook <5158> of the willows <6155>.

8 For the cry <2201> is gone <5362> round <5362> about the

borders <1366> of Moab <4124>; the howling <3213> thereof unto

Eglaim <97>, and the howling <3213> thereof unto Beerelim <0879>.

9 For the waters <4325> of Dimon <1775> shall be full <4390> of

blood <1818>: for I will bring <7896> more <3254> upon Dimon

<1775>, lions <0738> upon him that escapeth <6413> of Moab

<4124>, and upon the remnant <7611> of the land <0127>.

Isaiah 16

1. Send <7971> ye the lamb <3733> to the ruler <4910> of the

land <0776> from Sela <5554> to the wilderness <4057>, unto the

mount <2022> of the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>.

2 For it shall be, [that], as a wandering <5074> bird <5775>

cast <7971> out of the nest <7064>, [so] the daughters <1121> of

Moab <4124> shall be at the fords <4569> of Arnon <0769>.

3 Take <0935> counsel <6098>, execute <6213> judgment <6415>;

make <7896> thy shadow <6738> as the night <3915> in the midst

<8432> of the noonday <6672>; hide <5641> the outcasts <5080>;

bewray <1540> not him that wandereth <5074>.

4 Let mine outcasts <5080> dwell <1481> with thee, Moab <4124>;

be thou a covert <5643> to them from the face <6440> of the

spoiler <7703>: for the extortioner <4160> is at an end <0657>,

the spoiler <7701> ceaseth <3615>, the oppressors <7429> are

consumed <8552> out of the land <0776>.

5 And in mercy <2617> shall the throne <3678> be established

<3559>: and he shall sit <3427> upon it in truth <0571> in the

tabernacle <0168> of David <1732>, judging <8199>, and seeking

<1875> judgment <4941>, and hasting <4106> righteousness <6664>.

6. We have heard <8085> of the pride <1347> of Moab <4124>; [he

is] very <3966> proud <1341>: [even] of his haughtiness <1346>,

and his pride <1347>, and his wrath <5678>: [but] his lies

<0907> [shall] not [be] so <3651>.

7 Therefore <3651> shall Moab <4124> howl <3213> for Moab

<4124>, every <3605> one shall howl <3213>: for the foundations

<0808> of Kirhareseth <7025> shall ye mourn <1897>; surely

<0389> [they are] stricken <5218>.

8 For the fields <7709> of Heshbon <2809> languish <0535>,

[and] the vine <1612> of Sibmah <7643>: the lords <1167> of the

heathen <1471> have broken <1986> down the principal <8291>

plants <8291> thereof, they are come <5060> [even] unto Jazer

<3270>, they wandered <8582> [through] the wilderness <4057>:

her branches <7976> are stretched <5203> out, they are gone

<5674> over <5674> the sea <3220>.

9 Therefore I will bewail <1058> with the weeping <1065> of

Jazer <3270> the vine <1612> of Sibmah <7643>: I will water

<7301> thee with my tears <1832>, O Heshbon <2809>, and Elealeh

<0500>: for the shouting <1959> for thy summer <7019> fruits and

for thy harvest <7105> is fallen <5307>.

10 And gladness <8057> is taken <0622> away, and joy <1524> out

of the plentiful <3759> field; and in the vineyards <3754> there

shall be no <3808> singing <7442>, neither <3808> shall there be

shouting <0731>: the treaders <1869> shall tread <1869> out no

<3808> wine <3196> in [their] presses <3342>; I have made [their

vintage] shouting <1959> to cease <7673>.

11 Wherefore my bowels <4578> shall sound <1993> like an harp

<3658> for Moab <4124>, and mine inward <7130> parts for

Kirharesh <7025>.

12 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> it is seen

<7200> that Moab <4124> is weary <3811> on <5921> the high

<1116> place, that he shall come <0935> to his sanctuary <4720>

to pray <6419>; but he shall not prevail <3201>.

13 This <2008> [is] the word <1697> that the LORD <3068> hath

spoken <1696> concerning <0413> Moab <4124> since that time

<0227>.

14 But now <6258> the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>, saying

<0559>, Within three <7969> years <8141>, as the years <8141> of

an hireling <7916>, and the glory <3519> of Moab <4124> shall be

contemned <7034>, with all <3605> that great <7227> multitude

<1995>; and the remnant <7605> [shall be] very <4213> small

<4213> [and] feeble <3808>.

Isaiah 17

1. The burden <4853> of Damascus <1834>. Behold <2009>,

Damascus <1834> is taken <5493> away <5493> from [being] a city

<5892>, and it shall be a ruinous <4654> heap <4596>.

2 The cities <5892> of Aroer <6177> [are] forsaken <5800>: they

shall be for flocks <5739>, which shall lie <7257> down <7257>,

and none <0369> shall make [them] afraid <2729>.

3 The fortress <4013> also shall cease <7673> from Ephraim

<0669>, and the kingdom <4467> from Damascus <1834>, and the

remnant <7605> of Syria <0758>: they shall be as the glory

<3519> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the

LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

4 And in that day <3117> it shall come <1961> to pass, [that]

the glory <3519> of Jacob <3290> shall be made thin <1809>, and

the fatness <4924> of his flesh <1320> shall wax lean <7329>.

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

<0622> the corn <7054>, and reapeth <7114> the ears <7641> with

his arm <2220>; and it shall be as he that gathereth <3950> ears

<7641> in the valley <6010> of Rephaim <7497>.

6. Yet gleaning <5955> grapes shall be left <7604> in it, as

the shaking <5363> of an olive <2132> tree, two <8147> [or]

three <7969> berries <1620> in the top <7218> of the uppermost

bough <0534>, four <0702> [or] five <2568> in the outmost

fruitful <6509> branches <5585> thereof, saith <5002> the LORD

<3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>.

7 At that day <3117> shall a man <0120> look <8159> to his

Maker <6213>, and his eyes <5869> shall have respect <7200> to

the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.

8 And he shall not look <8159> to the altars <4196>, the work

<4639> of his hands <3027>, neither <3808> shall respect <7200>

[that] which <0834> his fingers <0676> have made <6213>, either

the groves <0842>, or the images <2553>.

9. In that day <3117> shall his strong <4581> cities <5892> be

as a forsaken <5800> bough <2793>, and an uppermost branch

<0534>, which <0834> they left <5800> because <6440> of the

children <1121> of Israel <3478>: and there shall be desolation

<8077>.

10 Because <3588> thou hast forgotten <7911> the God <0430> of

thy salvation <3468>, and hast not been mindful <2142> of the

rock <6697> of thy strength <4581>, therefore shalt thou plant

<5193> pleasant <2532> plants <5194>, and shalt set <2232> it

with strange <2114> slips <2156>:

11 In the day <3117> shalt thou make thy plant <5194> to grow

<7735>, and in the morning <1242> shalt thou make thy seed

<2233> to flourish <6524>: [but] the harvest <7105> [shall be] a

heap <5067> in the day <3117> of grief <2470> and of desperate

<0605> sorrow <3511>.

12. Woe <1945> to the multitude <1995> of many <7227> people

<5971>, [which] make a noise <1993> like the noise <1993> of the

seas <3220>; and to the rushing <7588> of nations <3816>, [that]

make a rushing <7582> like the rushing <7582> of mighty <3524>

waters <4325>!

13 The nations <3816> shall rush <7582> like the rushing <7588>

of many <7227> waters <4325>: but [God] shall rebuke <1605> them,

and they shall flee <5127> far <4801> off, and shall be chased

<7291> as the chaff <4671> of the mountains <2022> before <6440>

the wind <7307>, and like a rolling <1534> thing before <6440>

the whirlwind.

14 And behold <2009> at eveningtide trouble <1091>; [and]

before <2962> the morning <1242> he [is] not. This <2088> [is]

the portion <2506> of them that spoil <8154> us, and the lot

<1486> of them that rob <0962> us.

Isaiah 18

1. Woe <1945> to the land <0776> shadowing <6767> with wings

<3671>, which <0834> [is] beyond <5676> the rivers <5104> of

Ethiopia <3568>:

2 That sendeth <7971> ambassadors <6735> by the sea <3220>,

even in vessels <3627> of bulrushes <1573> upon the waters

<4325>, [saying], Go <3212>, ye swift <7031> messengers <4397>,

to a nation <1471> scattered <4900> and peeled <4178>, to a

people <5971> terrible <3372> from their beginning <1931>

hitherto <1973>; a nation <1471> meted <6978> out and trodden

<4001> down, whose <0834> land <0776> the rivers <5104> have

spoiled <0958>!

3 All <3605> ye inhabitants <3427> of the world <8398>, and

dwellers <7931> on the earth <0776>, see <7200> ye, when he

lifteth <5375> up an ensign <5251> on the mountains <2022>; and

when he bloweth <8628> a trumpet <7782>, hear <8085> ye.

4 For so <3541> the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, I will

take my rest <8252>, and I will consider <5027> in my dwelling

<4349> place like a clear <6703> heat <2527> upon herbs <0216>,

[and] like a cloud <5645> of dew <2919> in the heat <2527> of

harvest <7105>.

5 For afore <6440> the harvest <7105>, when <3588> the bud

<6525> is perfect <8552>, and the sour <1155> grape <1155> is

ripening <1580> in the flower <5327>, he shall both cut <3772>

off the sprigs <2150> with pruning hooks, and take <5493> away

<5493> [and] cut <8456> down the branches <5189>.

6 They shall be left <5800> together <3162> unto the fowls

<5861> of the mountains <2022>, and to the beasts <0929> of the

earth <0776>: and the fowls <5861> shall summer <6972> upon them,

and all <3605> the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776> shall

winter <2778> upon them.

7 In that time <6256> shall the present <7862> be brought

<2986> unto the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> of a people <5971>

scattered <4900> and peeled <4178>, and from a people <5971>

terrible <3372> from their beginning <1931> hitherto <1973>; a

nation <1471> meted <6978> out and trodden <4001> under foot

<4001>, whose <0834> land <0776> the rivers <5104> have spoiled

<0958>, to the place <4725> of the name <8034> of the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635>, the mount <2022> Zion <6726>.

Isaiah 19

1. The burden <4853> of Egypt <4714>. Behold <2009>, the LORD

<3068> rideth <7392> upon a swift <7031> cloud <5645>, and shall

come <0935> into Egypt <4714>: and the idols <0457> of Egypt

<4714> shall be moved <5128> at his presence <6440>, and the

heart <3824> of Egypt <4714> shall melt <4549> in the midst

<7130> of it.

2 And I will set <5526> the Egyptians <4714> against the

Egyptians <4714>: and they shall fight <3898> every <0376> one

<0376> against his brother <0251>, and every <0376> one <0376>

against his neighbour <7453>; city <5892> against city <5892>,

[and] kingdom <4467> against kingdom <4467>.

3 And the spirit <7307> of Egypt <4714> shall fail <1238> in

the midst <7130> thereof; and I will destroy <1104> the counsel

<6098> thereof: and they shall seek <1875> to the idols <0457>,

and to the charmers <0328>, and to them that have familiar

spirits <0178>, and to the wizards <3049>.

4 And the Egyptians <4714> will I give <5534> over <5534> into

the hand <3027> of a cruel <7186> lord <0113>; and a fierce

<5794> king <4428> shall rule <4910> over them, saith <5002> the

Lord <0113>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

5 And the waters <4325> shall fail <5405> from the sea <3220>,

and the river <5104> shall be wasted <2717> and dried <3001> up.

6 And they shall turn <2186> the rivers <5104> far away; [and]

the brooks <2975> of defence <4692> shall be emptied <1809> and

dried <2717> up: the reeds <7070> and flags <5488> shall wither

<7060>.

7 The paper <6169> reeds by the brooks <2975>, by the mouth

<6310> of the brooks <2975>, and every <3605> thing sown <4218>

by the brooks <2975>, shall wither <3001>, be driven <5086> away,

and be no <0369> [more].

8 The fishers <1771> also shall mourn <0578>, and all <3605>

they that cast <7993> angle <2443> into the brooks <2975> shall

lament <56>, and they that spread <6566> nets <4364> upon the

waters <4325> shall languish <0535>.

9 Moreover they that work <5647> in fine <8305> flax <6593>,

and they that weave <0707> networks <2355>, shall be confounded

<0954>.

10 And they shall be broken <1792> in the purposes <8356>

thereof, all <3605> that make <6213> sluices <7938> [and] ponds

<99> for fish <5315>.

11 Surely <0389> the princes <8269> of Zoan <6814> [are] fools

<0191>, the counsel <6098> of the wise <2450> counsellors <3289>

of Pharaoh <6547> is become <1197> brutish <1197>: how <0349>

say <0559> ye unto Pharaoh <6547>, I [am] the son <1121> of the

wise <2450>, the son <1121> of ancient <6924> kings <4428>?

12 Where <0335> [are] they? where <0645> [are] thy wise <2450>

[men]? and let them tell <5046> thee now <4994>, and let them

know <3045> what <4100> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath

purposed <3289> upon Egypt <4714>.

13 The princes <8269> of Zoan <6814> are become <2973> fools

<2973>, the princes <8269> of Noph <5297> are deceived <5377>;

they have also seduced <8582> Egypt <4714>, [even they that are]

the stay <6438> of the tribes <7626> thereof.

14 The LORD <3068> hath mingled <4537> a perverse <5773> spirit

<7307> in the midst <7130> thereof: and they have caused Egypt

<4714> to err <8582> in every <3605> work <4639> thereof, as a

drunken <7910> [man] staggereth <8582> in his vomit <6892>.

15 Neither <3808> shall there be [any] work <4639> for Egypt

<4714>, which the head <7218> or tail <2180>, branch <3712> or

rush <0100>, may do <6213>.

16 In that day <3117> shall Egypt <4714> be like unto women

<0802>: and it shall be afraid <2729> and fear <6342> because

<6440> of the shaking <8573> of the hand <3027> of the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635>, which <0834> he shaketh <5130> over

<5921> it.

17 And the land <0127> of Judah <3063> shall be a terror <2283>

unto Egypt <4714>, every <3605> one that maketh mention <2142>

thereof shall be afraid <6342> in himself, because <6440> of the

counsel <6098> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, which <0834>

he hath determined <3289> against <5921> it.

18. In that day <3117> shall five <2568> cities <5892> in the

land <0776> of Egypt <4714> speak <1696> the language <8193> of

Canaan <3667>, and swear <7650> to the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>; one <0259> shall be called <0559>, The city <5892> of

destruction <2041>.

19 In that day <3117> shall there be an altar <4196> to the

LORD <3068> in the midst <8432> of the land <0776> of Egypt

<4714>, and a pillar <4676> at <0681> the border <1366> thereof

to the LORD <3068>.

20 And it shall be for a sign <0226> and for a witness <5707>

unto the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> in the land <0776> of Egypt

<4714>: for they shall cry <6817> unto the LORD <3068> because

<6440> of the oppressors <3905>, and he shall send <7971> them a

saviour <3467>, and a great <7227> one, and he shall deliver

<5337> them.

21 And the LORD <3068> shall be known <3045> to Egypt <4714>,

and the Egyptians <4714> shall know <3045> the LORD <3068> in

that day <3117>, and shall do <5647> sacrifice <2077> and

oblation <4503>; yea, they shall vow <5087> a vow <5088> unto

the LORD <3068>, and perform <7999> [it].

22 And the LORD <3068> shall smite <5062> Egypt <4714>: he

shall smite <5062> and heal <7495> [it]: and they shall return

<7725> [even] to the LORD <3068>, and he shall be intreated

<6279> of them, and shall heal <7495> them.

23 In that day <3117> shall there be a highway <4546> out of

Egypt <4714> to Assyria <0804>, and the Assyrian <0804> shall

come <0935> into Egypt <4714>, and the Egyptian <4714> into

Assyria <0804>, and the Egyptians <4714> shall serve <5647> with

the Assyrians <0804>.

24 In that day <3117> shall Israel <3478> be the third <7992>

with Egypt <4714> and with Assyria <0804>, [even] a blessing

<1293> in the midst <7130> of the land <0776>:

25 Whom <0834> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> shall bless

<1288>, saying <0559>, Blessed <1288> [be] Egypt <4714> my

people <5971>, and Assyria <0804> the work <4639> of my hands

<3027>, and Israel <3478> mine inheritance <5159>.

Isaiah 20

1. In the year <8141> that Tartan <8661> came <0935> unto

Ashdod <0795>, (when Sargon <5623> the king <4428> of Assyria

<0804> sent <7971> him,) and fought <3898> against Ashdod <0795>,

and took <3920> it;

2 At the same <1931> time <6256> spake <1696> the LORD <3068>

by Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531>, saying <0559>,

Go <3212> and loose <6605> the sackcloth <8242> from off <5921>

thy loins <4975>, and put <2502> off thy shoe <5275> from thy

foot <7272>. And he did <6213> so <3651>, walking <1980> naked

<6174> and barefoot <3182>.

3 And the LORD <3068> said <0559>, Like as my servant <5650>

Isaiah <3470> hath walked <1980> naked <6174> and barefoot

<3182> three <7969> years <8141> [for] a sign <0226> and wonder

<4159> upon Egypt <4714> and upon Ethiopia <3568>;

4 So <3651> shall the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> lead <5090>

away the Egyptians <4714> prisoners <7628>, and the Ethiopians

<3569> captives <1546>, young <5288> and old <2205>, naked

<6174> and barefoot <3182>, even with [their] buttocks <8357>

uncovered <2834>, to the shame <6172> of Egypt <4714>.

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

Ethiopia <3568> their expectation <4007>, and of Egypt <4714>

their glory <8597>.

6 And the inhabitant <3427> of this <2088> isle <0339> shall

say <0559> in that day <3117>, Behold <2009>, such <3541> [is]

our expectation <4007>, whither we flee <5127> for help <5833>

to be delivered <5337> from the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>:

and how <0349> shall we escape <4422>?

Isaiah 21

1. The burden <4853> of the desert <4057> of the sea <3220>. As

whirlwinds <5492> in the south <5045> pass <2498> through; [so]

it cometh <0935> from the desert <4057>, from a terrible <3372>

land <0776>.

2 A grievous <7186> vision <2380> is declared <5046> unto me;

the treacherous <0898> dealer dealeth treacherously <0898>, and

the spoiler <7703> spoileth <7703>. Go <5927> up, O Elam <5867>:

besiege <6696>, O Media <4074>; all <3605> the sighing <0585>

thereof have I made to cease <7673>.

3 Therefore are my loins <4975> filled <4390> with pain <2479>:

pangs <6735> have taken <0270> hold <0270> upon me, as the pangs

<6735> of a woman that travaileth <3205>: I was bowed <5791>

down at the hearing <8085> [of it]; I was dismayed <0926> at the

seeing <7200> [of it].

4 My heart <3824> panted <8582>, fearfulness <6427> affrighted

<1204> me: the night <5399> of my pleasure <2837> hath he turned

<7760> into fear <2731> unto me.

5 Prepare <6186> the table <7979>, watch <6822> in the

watchtower <6844>, eat <0398>, drink <8354>: arise <6965>, ye

princes <8269>, [and] anoint <4886> the shield <4043>.

6 For thus <3541> hath the Lord <0136> said <0559> unto me, Go

<3212>, set <5975> a watchman <6822>, let him declare <5046>

what <0834> he seeth <7200>.

7 And he saw <7200> a chariot <7393> [with] a couple <6776> of

horsemen <6571>, a chariot <7393> of asses <2543>, [and] a

chariot <7393> of camels <1581>; and he hearkened <7181>

diligently <7182> with much <7227> heed <7182>:

8 And he cried <7121>, A lion <0738>: My lord <0136>, I stand

<5975> continually <8548> upon the watchtower <4707> in the

daytime <3119>, and I am set <5324> in my ward <4931> whole

<3605> nights <3915>:

9 And, behold <2009>, here <2088> cometh <0935> a chariot

<7393> of men <0376>, [with] a couple <6776> of horsemen <6571>.

And he answered <6030> and said <0559>, Babylon <0894> is fallen

<5307>, is fallen <5307>; and all <3605> the graven <6456>

images of her gods <0430> he hath broken <7665> unto the ground

<0776>.

10 O my threshing <4098>, and the corn <1121> of my floor

<1637>: that which <0834> I have heard <8085> of the LORD <3068>

of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, have I

declared <5046> unto you.

11. The burden <4853> of Dumah <1746>. He calleth <7121> to me

out of Seir <8165>, Watchman <8104>, what <4100> of the night

<3915>? Watchman <8104>, what <4100> of the night <3915>?

12 The watchman <8104> said <0559>, The morning <1242> cometh

<0857>, and also <1571> the night <3915>: if <0518> ye will

enquire <1158>, enquire <1158> ye: return <7725>, come <0857>.

13. The burden <4853> upon Arabia <6152>. In the forest <3293>

in Arabia <6152> shall ye lodge <3885>, O ye travelling <0736>

companies <0736> of Dedanim <1720>.

14 The inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776> of Tema <8485>

brought <0857> water <4325> to him that was thirsty <6771>, they

prevented <6923> with their bread <3899> him that fled <5074>.

15 For they fled <5074> from the swords <2719>, from the drawn

<5203> sword <2719>, and from the bent <1869> bow <7198>, and

from the grievousness <3514> of war <4421>.

16 For thus <3541> hath the Lord <0136> said <0559> unto me,

Within <5750> a year <8141>, according to the years <8141> of an

hireling <7916>, and all <3605> the glory <3519> of Kedar <6938>

shall fail <3615>:

17 And the residue <7605> of the number <4557> of archers

<7198>, the mighty <1368> men of the children <1121> of Kedar

<6938>, shall be diminished <4591>: for the LORD <3068> God

<0430> of Israel <3478> hath spoken <1696> [it].

Isaiah 22

1. The burden <4853> of the valley <1516> of vision <2384>.

What <4100> aileth thee now <0645>, that thou art wholly <3605>

gone <5927> up to the housetops <1406>?

2 Thou that art full <4392> of stirs <8663>, a tumultuous

<1993> city <5892>, a joyous <5947> city <7151>: thy slain

<2491> [men are] not slain <2491> with the sword <2719>, nor

<3808> dead <4191> in battle <4421>.

3 All <3605> thy rulers <7101> are fled <5074> together <3162>,

they are bound <0631> by the archers <7198>: all <3605> that are

found <4672> in thee are bound <0631> together <3162>, [which]

have fled <1272> from far <7350>.

4 Therefore said <0559> I, Look <8159> away from me; I will

weep <1065> bitterly <4843>, labour <0213> not to comfort <5162>

me, because <5921> of the spoiling <7701> of the daughter <1323>

of my people <5971>.

5 For [it is] a day <3117> of trouble <4103>, and of treading

<4001> down, and of perplexity <3998> by the Lord <0136> GOD

<3069> of hosts <6635> in the valley <1516> of vision <2384>,

breaking <6979> down the walls <7023>, and of crying <7771> to

the mountains <2022>.

6 And Elam <5867> bare <5375> the quiver <0827> with chariots

<7393> of men <0120> [and] horsemen <6571>, and Kir <7024>

uncovered <6168> the shield <4043>.

7 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] thy choicest <4055>

valleys <6010> shall be full <4390> of chariots <7393>, and the

horsemen <6571> shall set <7896> themselves in array <7896> at

the gate <8179>.

8. And he discovered <1540> the covering <4539> of Judah <3063>,

and thou didst look <5027> in that day <3117> to the armour

<5402> of the house <1004> of the forest <3293>.

9 Ye have seen <7200> also the breaches <1233> of the city

<5892> of David <1732>, that they are many <7231>: and ye

gathered <6908> together the waters <4325> of the lower <8481>

pool <1295>.

10 And ye have numbered <5608> the houses <1004> of Jerusalem

<3389>, and the houses <1004> have ye broken <5422> down <5422>

to fortify <1219> the wall <2346>.

11 Ye made <6213> also a ditch <4724> between <0996> the two

walls <2346> for the water <4325> of the old <3465> pool <1295>:

but ye have not looked <5027> unto the maker <6213> thereof,

neither <3808> had respect <7200> unto him that fashioned <3335>

it long <7350> ago <7350>.

12 And in that day <3117> did the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of

hosts <6635> call <7121> to weeping <1065>, and to mourning

<4553>, and to baldness <7144>, and to girding <2296> with

sackcloth <8242>:

13 And behold <2009> joy <8342> and gladness <8057>, slaying

<2026> oxen <1241>, and killing <7819> sheep <6629>, eating

<0398> flesh <1320>, and drinking <8354> wine <3196>: let us eat

<0398> and drink <8354>; for to morrow <4279> we shall die

<4191>.

14 And it was revealed <1540> in mine ears <0241> by the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635>, Surely <0518> this <2088> iniquity

<5771> shall not be purged <3722> from you till <5704> ye die

<4191>, saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>.

15. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of

hosts <6635>, Go <3212>, get <0935> thee unto this <2088>

treasurer <5532>, [even] unto Shebna <7644>, which <0834> [is]

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

16 What <4100> hast thou here <6311>? and whom <4310> hast thou

here <6311>, that thou hast hewed <2672> thee out a sepulchre

<6913> here <6311>, [as] he that heweth <2672> him out a

sepulchre <6913> on high <4791>, [and] that graveth an

habitation <4908> for himself in a rock <5553>?

17 Behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> will carry <2904> thee away

with a mighty <1397> captivity <2925>, and will surely cover

<5844> thee.

18 He will surely violently turn <6801> and toss <6802> thee

[like] a ball <1754> into <0413> a large country <0776>: there

<8033> shalt thou die <4191>, and there <8033> the chariots

<4818> of thy glory <3519> [shall be] the shame <7036> of thy

lord's <0113> house <1004>.

19 And I will drive <1920> thee from thy station <4673>, and

from thy state <4612> shall he pull <2040> thee down.

20 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, that I

will call <7121> my servant <5650> Eliakim <0471> the son <1121>

of Hilkiah <2518>:

21 And I will clothe <3847> him with thy robe <3301>, and

strengthen <2388> him with thy girdle <73>, and I will commit

<5414> thy government <4475> into his hand <3027>: and he shall

be a father <1> to the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>,

and to the house <1004> of Judah <3063>.

22 And the key <4668> of the house <1004> of David <1732> will

I lay <5414> upon his shoulder <7926>; so he shall open <6605>,

and none <0369> shall shut <5462>; and he shall shut <5462>, and

none <0369> shall open <6605>.

23 And I will fasten <8628> him [as] a nail <3489> in a sure

<0539> place <4725>; and he shall be for a glorious <3519>

throne <3678> to his father's <1> house <1004>.

24 And they shall hang <8518> upon him all <3605> the glory

<3519> of his father's <1> house <1004>, the offspring <6631>

and the issue <6849>, all <3605> vessels <3627> of small <6996>

quantity, from the vessels <3627> of cups <0101>, even to all

<3605> the vessels <3627> of flagons <5035>.

25 In that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>, shall the nail <3489> that is fastened <8628> in the

sure <0539> place <4725> be removed <4185>, and be cut <1438>

down <1438>, and fall <5307>; and the burden <4853> that [was]

upon it shall be cut <3772> off: for the LORD <3068> hath spoken

<1696> [it].

Isaiah 23

1. The burden <4853> of Tyre <6865>. Howl <3213>, ye ships

<0591> of Tarshish <8659>; for it is laid waste <7703>, so that

there is no house <1004>, no entering <0935> in: from the land

<0776> of Chittim <3794> it is revealed <1540> to them.

2 Be still <1826>, ye inhabitants <3427> of the isle <0339>;

thou whom the merchants <5503> of Zidon <6721>, that pass <5674>

over <5674> the sea <3220>, have replenished <4390>.

3 And by great <7227> waters <4325> the seed <2233> of Sihor

<7883>, the harvest <7105> of the river <2975>, [is] her revenue

<8393>; and she is a mart <5505> of nations <1471>.

4 Be thou ashamed <0954>, O Zidon <6721>: for the sea <3220>

hath spoken <0559>, [even] the strength <4581> of the sea <3220>,

saying <0559>, I travail <2342> not, nor <3808> bring <3205>

forth <3205> children, neither <3808> do I nourish <1431> up

young <0970> men, [nor] bring <7311> up virgins <1330>.

5 As at the report <8088> concerning Egypt <4714>, [so] shall

they be sorely pained <2342> at the report <8088> of Tyre <6865>.

6 Pass <5674> ye over <5674> to Tarshish <8659>; howl <3213>,

ye inhabitants <3427> of the isle <0339>.

7 [Is] this <2063> your joyous <5947> [city], whose antiquity

<6927> [is] of ancient <6924> days <3117>? her own feet <7272>

shall carry <2986> her afar <7350> off to sojourn <1481>.

8 Who <4310> hath taken this <2063> counsel <3289> against

<5921> Tyre <6865>, the crowning <5849> [city], whose <0834>

merchants <5503> [are] princes <8269>, whose traffickers <3669>

[are] the honourable <1935> of the earth <0776>?

9 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath purposed <3289> it, to

stain <2490> the pride <1347> of all <3605> glory <6643>, [and]

to bring <7034> into contempt <7043> all <3605> the honourable

<3513> of the earth <0776>.

10 Pass <5674> through thy land <0776> as a river <2975>, O

daughter <1323> of Tarshish <8659>: [there is] no <0369> more

<5750> strength <4206>.

11 He stretched <5186> out his hand <3027> over <5921> the sea

<3220>, he shook <7264> the kingdoms <4467>: the LORD <3068>

hath given a commandment <6680> against <0413> the merchant

<3667> [city], to destroy <8045> the strong <4581> holds <4581>

thereof.

12 And he said <0559>, Thou shalt no <3808> more <5750> rejoice

<5937>, O thou oppressed <6231> virgin <1330>, daughter <1323>

of Zidon <6721>: arise <6965>, pass <5674> over <5674> to

Chittim <3794>; there <8033> also <1571> shalt thou have no

<3808> rest <5117>.

13 Behold <2005> the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>; this

<2088> people <5971> was not, [till] the Assyrian <0804> founded

<3245> it for them that dwell in the wilderness <6728>: they set

<6965> up the towers <0971> thereof, they raised <6209> up the

palaces <0759> thereof; [and] he brought <7760> it to ruin

<4654>.

14 Howl <3213>, ye ships <0591> of Tarshish <8659>: for your

strength <4581> is laid waste <7703>.

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

Tyre <6865> shall be forgotten <7911> seventy <7657> years

<8141>, according to the days <3117> of one <0259> king <4428>:

after the end <7093> of seventy <7657> years <8141> shall Tyre

<6865> sing <7892> as an harlot <2181>.

16 Take <3947> an harp <3658>, go <5437> about <5437> the city

<5892>, thou harlot <2181> that hast been forgotten <7911>; make

sweet <3190> melody <5059>, sing many <7235> songs <7892>, that

thou mayest be remembered <2142>.

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

seventy <7657> years <8141>, that the LORD <3068> will visit

<6485> Tyre <6865>, and she shall turn <7725> to her hire <0868>,

and shall commit <2181> fornication <2181> with all <3605> the

kingdoms <4467> of the world <0776> upon the face <6440> of the

earth <0127>.

18 And her merchandise <5504> and her hire <0868> shall be

holiness <6944> to the LORD <3068>: it shall not be treasured

<0686> nor <3808> laid <2630> up; for her merchandise <5504>

shall be for them that dwell <3427> before <6440> the LORD

<3068>, to eat <0398> sufficiently <7654>, and for durable

<6266> clothing <4374>.

Isaiah 24

1. Behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> maketh the earth <0776> empty

<1238>, and maketh it waste <1110>, and turneth <5753> it upside

down, and scattereth <6327> abroad <6327> the inhabitants <3427>

thereof.

2 And it shall be, as with the people <5971>, so with the

priest <3548>; as with the servant <5650>, so with his master

<0113>; as with the maid <8198>, so with her mistress <1404>; as

with the buyer <7069>, so with the seller <4376>; as with the

lender <3867>, so with the borrower <3867>; as with the taker of

usury <5383>, so with the giver of usury <5378> to him.

3 The land <0776> shall be utterly emptied <1238>, and utterly

spoiled <0962>: for the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696> this

<2088> word <1697>.

4 The earth <0776> mourneth <56> [and] fadeth <5034> away, the

world <8398> languisheth <0535> [and] fadeth <5034> away, the

haughty <4791> people <5971> of the earth <0776> do languish

<0535>.

5 The earth <0776> also is defiled <2610> under <8478> the

inhabitants <3427> thereof; because <3588> they have

transgressed <5674> the laws <8451>, changed <2498> the

ordinance <2706>, broken <6565> the everlasting <5769> covenant

<1285>.

6 Therefore hath the curse <0423> devoured <0398> the earth

<0776>, and they that dwell <3427> therein are desolate <0816>:

therefore the inhabitants <3427> of the earth <0776> are burned

<2787>, and few <4213> men <0582> left <7604>.

7 The new <8492> wine <8492> mourneth <56>, the vine <1612>

languisheth <0535>, all <3605> the merryhearted do sigh <0584>.

8 The mirth <4885> of tabrets <8596> ceaseth <7673>, the noise

<7588> of them that rejoice <5947> endeth <2308>, the joy <4885>

of the harp <3658> ceaseth <7673>.

9 They shall not drink <8354> wine <3196> with a song <7892>;

strong drink <7941> shall be bitter <4843> to them that drink

<8354> it.

10 The city <7151> of confusion <8414> is broken <7665> down:

every <3605> house <1004> is shut <5462> up, that no man <0935>

may come <0935> in.

11 [There is] a crying <6682> for wine <3196> in the streets

<2351>; all <3605> joy <8057> is darkened <6150>, the mirth

<4885> of the land <0776> is gone <1540>.

12 In the city <5892> is left <7604> desolation <8047>, and the

gate <8179> is smitten <3807> with destruction <7591>.

13. When <3588> thus <3541> it shall be in the midst <7130> of

the land <0776> among <8432> the people <5971>, [there shall be]

as the shaking <5363> of an olive <2132> tree, [and] as the

gleaning <5955> grapes when <0518> the vintage <1210> is done

<3615>.

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

sing <7442> for the majesty <1347> of the LORD <3068>, they

shall cry <6670> aloud <6670> from the sea <3220>.

15 Wherefore glorify <3513> ye the LORD <3068> in the fires

<0217>, [even] the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> God <0430> of

Israel <3478> in the isles <0339> of the sea <3220>.

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

heard <8085> songs <2158>, [even] glory <6643> to the righteous

<6662>. But I said <0559>, My leanness <7334>, my leanness

<7334>, woe <0188> unto me! the treacherous <0898> dealers have

dealt treacherously <0898>; yea, the treacherous <0898> dealers

have dealt very <0899> treacherously <0898>.

17 Fear <6343>, and the pit <6354>, and the snare <6341>, [are]

upon thee, O inhabitant <3427> of the earth <0776>.

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

<5127> from the noise <6963> of the fear <6343> shall fall

<5307> into <0413> the pit <6354>; and he that cometh <5927> up

out of the midst <8432> of the pit <6354> shall be taken <3920>

in the snare <6341>: for the windows <0699> from on high <4791>

are open <6605>, and the foundations <4146> of the earth <0776>

do shake <7493>.

19 The earth <0776> is utterly broken <7489> down, the earth

<0776> is clean <6565> dissolved <6565>, the earth <0776> is

moved <4132> exceedingly.

20 The earth <0776> shall reel <5128> to and fro like a

drunkard <7910>, and shall be removed <5110> like a cottage

<4412>; and the transgression <6588> thereof shall be heavy

<3513> upon it; and it shall fall <5307>, and not rise <6965>

again <3254>.

21 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

the LORD <3068> shall punish <6485> the host <6635> of the high

<4791> ones [that are] on high <4791>, and the kings <4428> of

the earth <0127> upon the earth <0127>.

22 And they shall be gathered <0622> together, [as] prisoners

<0616> are gathered <0626> in the pit <0953>, and shall be shut

<5462> up in the prison <4525>, and after many <7230> days

<3117> shall they be visited <6485>.

23 Then the moon <3842> shall be confounded <2659>, and the sun

<2535> ashamed <0954>, when <3588> the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635> shall reign <4427> in mount <2022> Zion <6726>, and in

Jerusalem <3389>, and before <5048> his ancients <2204>

gloriously <3519>.

Isaiah 25

1. O LORD <3068>, thou [art] my God <0430>; I will exalt <7311>

thee, I will praise <3034> thy name <8034>; for thou hast done

<6213> wonderful <6382> [things; thy] counsels <6098> of old

<7350> [are] faithfulness <0530> [and] truth <0544>.

2 For thou hast made <7760> of a city <5892> an heap <1530>;

[of] a defenced <1219> city <7151> a ruin <4654>: a palace

<0759> of strangers <2114> to be no city <5892>; it shall never

be built <1129>.

3 Therefore shall the strong <5794> people <5971> glorify

<3513> thee, the city <7151> of the terrible <6184> nations

<1471> shall fear <3372> thee.

4 For thou hast been <1961> a strength <4581> to the poor

<1800>, a strength <4581> to the needy <34> in his distress

<6862>, a refuge <4268> from the storm <2230>, a shadow <6738>

from the heat <2721>, when <3588> the blast <7307> of the

terrible <6184> ones [is] as a storm <2230> [against] the wall

<7023>.

5 Thou shalt bring <3665> down <3665> the noise <7588> of

strangers <2114>, as the heat <2721> in a dry <6724> place;

[even] the heat <2721> with the shadow <6738> of a cloud <5645>:

the branch <2158> of the terrible <6184> ones shall be brought

<6030> low <6030>.

6. And in this <2088> mountain <2022> shall the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635> make <6213> unto all <3605> people <5971> a feast

<4960> of fat <8081> things, a feast <4960> of wines <8105> on

the lees <8105>, of fat <8081> things full of marrow <4229>, of

wines <8105> on the lees <8105> well refined <2212>.

7 And he will destroy <1104> in this <2088> mountain <2022> the

face <6440> of the covering <3875> cast <3874> over <5921> all

<3605> people <5971>, and the vail <4541> that is spread <5259>

over <5921> all <3605> nations <1471>.

8 He will swallow <1104> up death <4194> in victory <5331>; and

the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will wipe <4229> away tears <1832>

from off <5921> all <3605> faces <6440>; and the rebuke <2781>

of his people <5971> shall he take <5493> away <5493> from off

<5921> all <3605> the earth <0776>: for the LORD <3068> hath

spoken <1696> [it].

9. And it shall be said <0559> in that day <3117>, Lo <2009>,

this <2088> [is] our God <0430>; we have waited <6960> for him,

and he will save <3467> us: this <2088> [is] the LORD <3068>; we

have waited <6960> for him, we will be glad <1528> and rejoice

<8055> in his salvation <3444>.

10 For in this <2088> mountain <2022> shall the hand <3027> of

the LORD <3068> rest <5117>, and Moab <4124> shall be trodden

<1758> down under <8478> him, even as straw <4963> is trodden

<1758> down for the dunghill <4087>.

11 And he shall spread <6566> forth his hands <3027> in the

midst <7130> of them, as he that swimmeth <7811> spreadeth

<6566> forth [his hands] to swim <7811>: and he shall bring

<8213> down <8213> their pride <1346> together with the spoils

<0698> of their hands <3027>.

12 And the fortress <4013> of the high <4869> fort <4869> of

thy walls <2346> shall he bring <7817> down <7817>, lay low

<8213>, [and] bring <5060> to the ground <0776>, [even] to the

dust <6083>.

Isaiah 26

1. In that day <3117> shall this <2088> song <7892> be sung

<7891> in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>; We have a strong

<5797> city <5892>; salvation <3444> will [God] appoint <7896>

[for] walls <2346> and bulwarks <2426>.

2 Open <6605> ye the gates <8179>, that the righteous <6662>

nation <1471> which keepeth <8104> the truth <0529> may enter

<0935> in.

3 Thou wilt keep <5341> [him] in perfect peace <7965>, [whose]

mind <3336> [is] stayed <5564> [on thee]: because <3588> he

trusteth <0982> in thee.

4 Trust <0982> ye in the LORD <3068> for ever <5703>: for in

the LORD <3050> JEHOVAH <3068> [is] everlasting <5769> strength

<6697>:

5. For he bringeth <7817> down <7817> them that dwell <3427> on

<4791> high <4791>; the lofty <7682> city <7151>, he layeth it

low <8213>; he layeth it low <8213>, [even] to the ground <0776>;

he bringeth <5060> it [even] to the dust <6083>.

6 The foot <7272> shall tread <7429> it down, [even] the feet

<7272> of the poor <6041>, [and] the steps <6471> of the needy

<1800>.

7 The way <0734> of the just <6662> [is] uprightness <4339>:

thou, most upright <3477>, dost weigh <6424> the path <4570> of

the just <6662>.

8 Yea <0637>, in the way <0734> of thy judgments <4941>, O LORD

<3068>, have we waited <6960> for thee; the desire <8378> of

[our] soul <5315> [is] to thy name <8034>, and to the

remembrance <2143> of thee.

9 With my soul <5315> have I desired <0183> thee in the night

<3915>; yea <0637>, with my spirit <7307> within <7130> me will

I seek <7836> thee early <7836>: for when <0834> thy judgments

<4941> [are] in the earth <0776>, the inhabitants <3427> of the

world <8398> will learn <3925> righteousness <6664>.

10 Let favour <2603> be shewed to the wicked <7563>, [yet] will

he not learn <3925> righteousness <6664>: in the land <0776> of

uprightness <5229> will he deal unjustly <5765>, and will not

behold <7200> the majesty <1348> of the LORD <3068>.

11 LORD <3068>, [when] thy hand <3027> is lifted <5375> up,

they will not see <2372>: [but] they shall see <2372>, and be

ashamed <0954> for [their] envy <7068> at the people <5971>; yea

<0637>, the fire <0784> of thine enemies <6862> shall devour

<0398> them.

12. LORD <3068>, thou wilt ordain <8239> peace <7965> for us:

for thou also <1571> hast wrought <6466> all <3605> our works

<4639> in us.

13 O LORD <3068> our God <0430>, [other] lords <0113> beside

<2108> thee have had dominion <1196> over us: [but] by thee only

<0905> will we make mention <2142> of thy name <8034>.

14 [They are] dead <4191>, they shall not live <2421>; [they

are] deceased <7496>, they shall not rise <6965>: therefore

<3651> hast thou visited <6485> and destroyed <8045> them, and

made all <3605> their memory <2143> to perish <6>.

15 Thou hast increased <3254> the nation <1471>, O LORD <3068>,

thou hast increased <3254> the nation <1471>: thou art glorified

<3513>: thou hadst removed <7368> [it] far <7368> [unto] all

<3605> the ends <7097> of the earth <0776>.

16 LORD <3068>, in trouble <6862> have they visited <6485> thee,

they poured <6694> out a prayer <3908> [when] thy chastening

<4148> [was] upon them.

17 Like <3644> as a woman with child <2030>, [that] draweth

near <7126> the time of her delivery <3205>, is in pain <2342>,

[and] crieth <2199> out in her pangs <2256>; so <3651> have we

been <1961> in thy sight <6440>, O LORD <3068>.

18 We have been with child <2029>, we have been in pain <2342>,

we have as it were brought <3205> forth <3205> wind <7307>; we

have not wrought <6213> any deliverance <3444> in the earth

<0776>; neither <1077> have the inhabitants <3427> of the world

<8398> fallen <5307>.

19 Thy dead <4191> [men] shall live <2421>, [together with] my

dead <5038> body <5038> shall they arise <6965>. Awake <6974>

and sing <7442>, ye that dwell <7931> in dust <6083>: for thy

dew <2919> [is as] the dew <2919> of herbs <0219>, and the earth

<0776> shall cast <5307> out the dead <7496>.

20. Come <3212>, my people <5971>, enter <0935> thou into thy

chambers <2315>, and shut <5462> thy doors <1817> about <1157>

thee: hide <2247> thyself as it were for a little <4592> moment

<7281>, until <5704> the indignation <2195> be overpast <5674>.

21 For, behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> cometh <3318> out of his

place <4725> to punish <6485> the inhabitants <3427> of the

earth <0776> for their iniquity <5771>: the earth <0776> also

shall disclose <1540> her blood <1818>, and shall no <3808> more

<5750> cover <3680> her slain <2026>.

Isaiah 27

1. In that day <3117> the LORD <3068> with his sore <7186> and

great <1419> and strong <2389> sword <2719> shall punish <6485>

leviathan <3882> the piercing <1281> serpent <5175>, even

leviathan <3882> that crooked <6129> serpent <5175>; and he

shall slay <2026> the dragon <8577> that [is] in the sea <3220>.

2 In that day <3117> sing <6031> ye unto her, A vineyard <3754>

of red <2561> wine <2561>.

3 I the LORD <3068> do keep <5341> it; I will water <8248> it

every moment <7281>: lest <6435> [any] hurt <6485> it, I will

keep <5341> it night <3915> and day <3117>.

4 Fury <2534> [is] not in me: who <4310> would set <5414> the

briers <8068> [and] thorns <7898> against me in battle <4421>? I

would go <6585> through them, I would burn <6702> them together

<3162>.

5 Or <0176> let him take <2388> hold <2388> of my strength

<4581>, [that] he may make <6213> peace <7965> with me; [and] he

shall make <6213> peace <7965> with me.

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

<2388> root <8327>: Israel <3478> shall blossom <6692> and bud

<6524>, and fill <4390> the face <6440> of the world <8398> with

fruit <8570>.

7. Hath he smitten <5221> him, as he smote <4347> those that

smote <5221> him? [or] is he slain <2026> according to the

slaughter <2027> of them that are slain <2026> by him?

8 In measure <5432>, when it shooteth <7971> forth, thou wilt

debate <7378> with it: he stayeth <1898> his rough <7186> wind

<7307> in the day <3117> of the east <6921> wind.

9 By this <2063> therefore <3651> shall the iniquity <5771> of

Jacob <3290> be purged <3722>; and this <2088> [is] all <3605>

the fruit <6529> to take <5493> away <5493> his sin <2403>; when

he maketh <7760> all <3605> the stones <68> of the altar <4196>

as chalkstones that are beaten <5310> in sunder, the groves

<0842> and images <2553> shall not stand <6965> up.

10 Yet the defenced <1219> city <5892> [shall be] desolate

<0910>, [and] the habitation <5116> forsaken <7971>, and left

<5800> like a wilderness <4057>: there <8033> shall the calf

<5695> feed <7462>, and there <8033> shall he lie <7257> down

<7257>, and consume <3615> the branches <5585> thereof.

11 When the boughs <7105> thereof are withered <3001>, they

shall be broken <7665> off: the women <0802> come <0935>, [and]

set them on fire <0215>: for it [is] a people <5971> of no

<3808> understanding <0998>: therefore he that made <6213> them

will not have mercy <7355> on them, and he that formed <3335>

them will shew them no <3808> favour <2603>.

12 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

the LORD <3068> shall beat <2251> off from the channel <7641> of

the river <5104> unto the stream <5158> of Egypt <4714>, and ye

shall be gathered <3950> one <0259> by one <0259>, O ye children

<1121> of Israel <3478>.

13 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, [that]

the great <1419> trumpet <7782> shall be blown <8628>, and they

shall come <0935> which were ready to perish <6> in the land

<0776> of Assyria <0804>, and the outcasts <5080> in the land

<0776> of Egypt <4714>, and shall worship <7812> the LORD <3068>

in the holy <6944> mount <2022> at Jerusalem <3389>.

Isaiah 28

1. Woe <1945> to the crown <5850> of pride <1348>, to the

drunkards <7910> of Ephraim <0669>, whose glorious <6643> beauty

<8597> [is] a fading <5034> flower <6731>, which <0834> [are] on

the head <7218> of the fat <8081> valleys <1516> of them that

are overcome <1986> with wine <3196>!

2 Behold <2009>, the Lord <0136> hath a mighty <2389> and

strong <0533> one, [which] as a tempest <2230> of hail <1259>

[and] a destroying <6986> storm <8178>, as a flood <2230> of

mighty <3524> waters <4325> overflowing <7857>, shall cast

<3240> down to the earth <0776> with the hand <3027>.

3 The crown <5850> of pride <1348>, the drunkards <7910> of

Ephraim <0669>, shall be trodden <7429> under feet <7272>:

4 And the glorious <6643> beauty <8597>, which <0834> [is] on

<5921> the head <7218> of the fat <8081> valley <1516>, shall be

a fading <5034> flower <6733>, [and] as the hasty <1061> fruit

<1061> before <2962> the summer <7019>; which <0834> [when] he

that looketh <7200> upon it seeth <7200>, while it is yet <5750>

in his hand <3709> he eateth <1104> it up.

5 In that day <3117> shall the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> be

for a crown <5850> of glory <6643>, and for a diadem <6843> of

beauty <8597>, unto the residue <7605> of his people <5971>,

6 And for a spirit <7307> of judgment <4941> to him that

sitteth <3427> in judgment <4941>, and for strength <1369> to

them that turn <7725> the battle <4421> to the gate <8179>.

7 But they also <1571> have erred <7686> through wine <3196>,

and through strong drink <7941> are out of the way <8582>; the

priest <3548> and the prophet <5030> have erred <7686> through

strong drink <7941>, they are swallowed <1104> up of wine <3196>,

they are out of the way <8582> through <4480> strong drink

<7941>; they err <7686> in vision <7203>, they stumble <6328>

[in] judgment <6417>.

8 For all <3605> tables <7979> are full <4390> of vomit <6892>

[and] filthiness <6675>, [so that there is] no <1097> place

<4725> [clean].

9. Whom shall he teach <3384> knowledge <1844>? and whom shall

he make to understand <0995> doctrine <8052>? [them that are]

weaned <1580> from the milk <2461>, [and] drawn <6267> from the

breasts <7699>.

10 For precept <6673> [must be] upon precept <6673>, precept

<6673> upon precept <6673>; line <6957> upon line <6957>, line

<6957> upon line <6957>; here <8033> a little <2191>, [and]

there <8033> a little <2191>:

11 For with stammering <3934> lips <8193> and another <0312>

tongue <3956> will he speak <1696> to this <2088> people <5971>.

12 To whom he said <0559>, This <2063> [is] the rest <4496>

[wherewith <0834>] ye may cause the weary <5889> to rest <5117>;

and this <2063> [is] the refreshing <4774>: yet they would <14>

not hear <8085>.

13 But the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> was unto them precept

<6673> upon precept <6673>, precept <6673> upon precept <6673>;

line <6957> upon line <6957>, line <6957> upon line <6957>; here

<8033> a little <2191>, [and] there <8033> a little <2191>; that

they might go <3212>, and fall <3782> backward <0268>, and be

broken <7665>, and snared <3369>, and taken <3920>.

14. Wherefore <3651> hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD

<3068>, ye scornful <3944> men <0582>, that rule <4910> this

<2088> people <5971> which <0834> [is] in Jerusalem <3389>.

15 Because <3588> ye have said <0559>, We have made <3772> a

covenant <1285> with death <4194>, and with hell <7585> are we

at agreement <2374>; when <3588> the overflowing <7857> scourge

<7885> shall pass <5674> through, it shall not come <0935> unto

us: for we have made <7760> lies <3576> our refuge <4268>, and

under falsehood <8267> have we hid <5641> ourselves:

16 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <3069>, Behold <2005>, I lay in Zion <6726> for a foundation

<3248> a stone <68>, a tried <0976> stone <68>, a precious

<3368> corner <6438> [stone], a sure <3245> foundation <4143>:

he that believeth <0539> shall not make haste <2363>.

17 Judgment <4941> also will I lay <7760> to the line <6957>,

and righteousness <6666> to the plummet <4949>: and the hail

<1259> shall sweep <3261> away the refuge <4268> of lies <3576>,

and the waters <4325> shall overflow <7857> the hiding <5643>

place.

18 And your covenant <1285> with death <4194> shall be

disannulled <3722>, and your agreement <2380> with hell <7585>

shall not stand <6965>; when <3588> the overflowing <7857>

scourge <7752> shall pass <5674> through, then ye shall be

trodden <4823> down by it.

19 From the time <1767> that it goeth <5674> forth <5674> it

shall take <3947> you: for morning <1242> by morning <1242>

shall it pass <5674> over <5674>, by day <3117> and by night

<3915>: and it shall be a vexation <2113> only <7535> [to]

understand <0995> the report <8052>.

20 For the bed <4702> is shorter <7114> than that [a man

<0376>] can stretch <8311> himself [on it]: and the covering

<4541> narrower <6887> than that he can wrap <3664> himself [in

it].

21 For the LORD <3068> shall rise <6965> up as [in] mount

<2022> Perazim, he shall be wroth <7264> as [in] the valley

<6010> of Gibeon <1391>, that he may do <6213> his work <4639>,

his strange <2114> work <4639>; and bring <5647> to pass <5674>

his act <5556>, his strange <5237> act <5556>.

22 Now <6258> therefore be ye not mockers <3887>, lest <6435>

your bands <4147> be made strong <2388>: for I have heard <8085>

from the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635> a consumption

<3617>, even determined <2782> upon the whole <3605> earth

<0776>.

23. Give ye ear <0238>, and hear <8085> my voice <6963>;

hearken <7181>, and hear <8085> my speech <0565>.

24 Doth the plowman <2790> plow <2790> all <3605> day <3117> to

sow <2232>? doth he open <6605> and break <7702> the clods

<7702> of his ground <0127>?

25 When <0518> he hath made plain <7737> the face <6440>

thereof, doth he not cast <6327> abroad <6327> the fitches

<7100>, and scatter <2236> the cummin <3646>, and cast <7760> in

the principal <7795> wheat <2406> and the appointed <5567>

barley <8184> and the rie <3698> in their place <1367>?

26 For his God <0430> doth instruct <3256> him to discretion

<4941>, [and] doth teach <3384> him.

27 For the fitches <7100> are not threshed <1758> with a

threshing <2742> instrument, neither <1077> is a cart <5699>

wheel <0212> turned <5437> about upon the cummin <3646>; but the

fitches <7100> are beaten <2251> out with a staff <4294>, and

the cummin <3646> with a rod <7626>.

28 Bread <3899> [corn] is bruised <1854>; because <3588> he

will not ever <5331> be threshing <1758> it, nor break <2000>

[it with] the wheel <1536> of his cart <5699>, nor <3808> bruise

<1854> it [with] his horsemen <6571>.

29 This <2088> also <1571> cometh <3318> forth <3318> from the

LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, [which] is wonderful <6381> in

counsel <6098>, [and] excellent <1431> in working <8454>.

Isaiah 29

1. Woe <1945> to Ariel <0740>, to Ariel <0740>, the city <7151>

[where] David <1732> dwelt <2583>! add <5595> ye year <8141> to

year <8141>; let them kill <5362> sacrifices <2282>.

2 Yet I will distress <6693> Ariel <0740>, and there shall be

heaviness <8386> and sorrow <0592>: and it shall be unto me as

Ariel <0740>.

3 And I will camp <2583> against <5921> thee round <1754> about,

and will lay siege <6696> against <5921> thee with a mount

<4674>, and I will raise <6965> forts <4694> against <5921> thee.

4 And thou shalt be brought <8213> down <8213>, [and] shalt

speak <1696> out of the ground <0776>, and thy speech <0565>

shall be low <7817> out of the dust <6083>, and thy voice <6963>

shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit <0178>, out of

the ground <0776>, and thy speech <0565> shall whisper <6850>

out of the dust <6083>.

5 Moreover the multitude <1995> of thy strangers <2114> shall

be like small <1851> dust <80>, and the multitude <1995> of the

terrible <6184> ones [shall be] as chaff <4671> that passeth

<5674> away: yea, it shall be at an instant <6621> suddenly

<6597>.

6 Thou shalt be visited <6485> of the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635> with thunder <7482>, and with earthquake <7494>, and

great <1419> noise <6963>, with storm <5492> and tempest <5591>,

and the flame <3851> of devouring <0398> fire <0784>.

7 And the multitude <1995> of all <3605> the nations <1471>

that fight <6633> against <5921> Ariel <0740>, even all <3605>

that fight <6633> against her and her munition <4685>, and that

distress <6693> her, shall be as a dream <2472> of a night

<3915> vision <2377>.

8 It shall even be as when <0834> an hungry <7456> [man]

dreameth <2492>, and, behold <2009>, he eateth <0398>; but he

awaketh <6974>, and his soul <5315> is empty <7385>: or as when

<0834> a thirsty <6771> man dreameth <2492>, and, behold <2009>,

he drinketh <8354>; but he awaketh <6974>, and, behold <2009>,

[he is] faint <5889>, and his soul <5315> hath appetite <8264>:

so shall the multitude <1995> of all <3605> the nations <1471>

be, that fight <6633> against <5921> mount <2022> Zion <6726>.

9. Stay <4102> yourselves, and wonder <8539>; cry <8173> ye out,

and cry <8173>: they are drunken <7937>, but not with wine

<3196>; they stagger <5128>, but not with strong drink <7941>.

10 For the LORD <3068> hath poured <5258> out upon you the

spirit <7307> of deep <8639> sleep <8639>, and hath closed

<6105> your eyes <5869>: the prophets <5030> and your rulers

<7218>, the seers <2374> hath he covered <3680>.

11 And the vision <2380> of all <3605> is become <1961> unto

you as the words <1697> of a book <5612> that is sealed <2856>,

which <0834> [men] deliver <5414> to one that is learned, saying

<0559>, Read <7121> this <2088>, I pray <4994> thee: and he

saith <0559>, I cannot; for it [is] sealed <2856>:

12 And the book <5612> is delivered <5414> to him that is not

learned, saying <0559>, Read <7121> this <2088>, I pray <4994>

thee: and he saith <0559>, I am not learned.

13 Wherefore the Lord <0136> said <0559>, Forasmuch as this

people <5971> draw near <5066> [me] with their mouth <6310>, and

with their lips <8193> do honour <3513> me, but have removed

<7368> their heart <3820> far <7368> from me, and their fear

<3374> toward <0854> me is taught <3925> by the precept <4687>

of men <0582>:

14 Therefore <3651>, behold <2005>, I will proceed <3254> to do

a marvellous <6381> work <6381> among this <2088> people <5971>,

[even] a marvellous <6381> work <6381> and a wonder <6382>: for

the wisdom <2451> of their wise <2450> [men] shall perish <6>,

and the understanding <0998> of their prudent <0995> [men] shall

be hid <5641>.

15 Woe <1945> unto them that seek deep <6009> to hide <5641>

their counsel <6098> from the LORD <3068>, and their works

<4639> are in the dark <4285>, and they say <0559>, Who <4310>

seeth <7200> us? and who <4310> knoweth <3045> us?

16 Surely <0518> your turning <2017> of things upside down

shall be esteemed <2803> as the potter's <3335> clay <2563>: for

shall the work <4639> say <0559> of him that made <6213> it, He

made <6213> me not? or shall the thing framed <3336> say <0559>

of him that framed <3335> it, He had no <3808> understanding

<0995>?

17. [Is] it not yet <5750> a very <4213> little <4592> while,

and Lebanon <3844> shall be turned <7725> into a fruitful <3759>

field, and the fruitful <3759> field shall be esteemed <2803> as

a forest <3293>?

18 And in that day <3117> shall the deaf <2795> hear <8085> the

words <1697> of the book <5612>, and the eyes <5869> of the

blind <5787> shall see <7200> out of obscurity <0652>, and out

of darkness <2822>.

19 The meek <6035> also shall increase <3254> [their] joy

<8057> in the LORD <3068>, and the poor <34> among men <0120>

shall rejoice <1523> in the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.

20 For the terrible <6184> one is brought <0656> to nought

<0656>, and the scorner <3887> is consumed <3615>, and all

<3605> that watch <8245> for iniquity <0205> are cut <3772> off:

21 That make a man <0120> an offender <2398> for a word <1697>,

and lay a snare <6983> for him that reproveth <3198> in the gate

<8179>, and turn <5186> aside <5186> the just <6662> for a thing

of nought <8414>.

22 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,

who <0834> redeemed <6299> Abraham <85>, concerning <0413> the

house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, Jacob <3290> shall not now <6258>

be ashamed <0954>, neither <3808> shall his face <6440> now

<6258> wax pale <2357>.

23 But when <3588> he seeth <7200> his children <3206>, the

work <4639> of mine hands <3027>, in the midst <7130> of him,

they shall sanctify <6942> my name <8034>, and sanctify <6942>

the Holy <6918> One of Jacob <3290>, and shall fear <6206> the

God <0430> of Israel <3478>.

24 They also that erred <8582> in spirit <7307> shall come

<3045> to understanding <0998>, and they that murmured <7279>

shall learn <3925> doctrine <3948>.

Isaiah 30

1. Woe <1945> to the rebellious <5637> children <1121>, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068>, that take <6213> counsel <6098>, but not

of me; and that cover <5258> with a covering <4541>, but not of

my spirit <7307>, that they may add <5595> sin <2403> to sin

<2403>:

2 That walk <1980> to go <3381> down <3381> into Egypt <4714>,

and have not asked <7592> at my mouth <6310>; to strengthen

<5810> themselves in the strength <4581> of Pharaoh <6547>, and

to trust <2620> in the shadow <6738> of Egypt <4714>!

3 Therefore shall the strength <4581> of Pharaoh <6547> be your

shame <1322>, and the trust <2622> in the shadow <6738> of Egypt

<4714> [your] confusion <3639>.

4 For his princes <8269> were at Zoan <6814>, and his

ambassadors <4397> came <5060> to Hanes <2609>.

5 They were all <3605> ashamed <0954> of a people <5971> [that]

could not profit <3276> them, nor <3808> be an help <5828> nor

<3808> profit <3276>, but a shame <1322>, and also <1571> a

reproach <2781>.

6 The burden <4853> of the beasts <0929> of the south <5045>:

into the land <0776> of trouble <6869> and anguish <6695>, from

whence <1992> [come] the young <3833> and old <3918> lion <3918>,

the viper <0660> and fiery <8314> flying <5774> serpent <8314>,

they will carry <5375> their riches <2428> upon the shoulders

<3802> of young asses <5895>, and their treasures <0214> upon

the bunches <1707> of camels <1581>, to a people <5971> [that]

shall not profit <3276> [them].

7 For the Egyptians <4714> shall help <5826> in vain <1892>,

and to no <7385> purpose <7385>: therefore <3651> have I cried

<7121> concerning this <2063>, Their strength <7293> [is] to sit

<7674> still <7673>.

8. Now <6258> go <0935>, write <3789> it before <0854> them in

a table <3871>, and note <2710> it in a book <5612>, that it may

be for the time <3117> to come <0314> for ever <5703> and ever

<5769>:

9 That this <1931> [is] a rebellious <4805> people <5971>,

lying <3586> children <1121>, children <1121> [that] will <14>

not hear <8085> the law <8451> of the LORD <3068>:

10 Which <0834> say <0559> to the seers <7200>, See <7200> not;

and to the prophets <2374>, Prophesy <2372> not unto us right

<5229> things, speak <1696> unto us smooth <2513> things,

prophesy <2372> deceits <4123>:

11 Get you out of the way <1870>, turn <5186> aside <5186> out

of the path <0734>, cause the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>

to cease <7673> from before <6440> us.

12 Wherefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Holy <6918>

One of Israel <3478>, Because <3282> ye despise <3988> this

<2088> word <1697>, and trust <0982> in oppression <6233> and

perverseness <3868>, and stay <8172> thereon <5921>:

13 Therefore <3651> this <2088> iniquity <5771> shall be to you

as a breach <6556> ready to fall <5307>, swelling <1158> out in

a high <7682> wall <2346>, whose <0834> breaking <7667> cometh

<0935> suddenly <6597> at an instant <6621>.

14 And he shall break <7665> it as the breaking <7667> of the

potters <3335>' vessel <5035> that is broken <3807> in pieces;

he shall not spare <2550>: so that there shall not be found

<4672> in the bursting <4386> of it a sherd <2789> to take

<2846> fire <0784> from the hearth <3344>, or to take <2834>

water <4325> [withal] out of the pit <1360>.

15 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, the

Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>; In returning <7729> and rest

<5183> shall ye be saved <3467>; in quietness <8252> and in

confidence <0985> shall be your strength <1369>: and ye would

<14> not.

16 But ye said <0559>, No <3808>; for we will flee <5127> upon

horses <5483>; therefore shall ye flee <5127>: and, We will ride

<7392> upon the swift <7031>; therefore shall they that pursue

<7291> you be swift <7043>.

17 One <0259> thousand <0505> [shall flee] at <6440> the rebuke

<1606> of one <0259>; at <6440> the rebuke <1606> of five <2568>

shall ye flee <5127>: till ye be left <3498> as a beacon <8650>

upon the top <7218> of a mountain <2022>, and as an ensign

<5251> on <5921> an hill <1389>.

18. And therefore <3651> will the LORD <3068> wait <2442>, that

he may be gracious <2603> unto you, and therefore <3651> will he

be exalted <7311>, that he may have mercy <7355> upon you: for

the LORD <3068> [is] a God <0430> of judgment <4941>: blessed

<0835> [are] all <3605> they that wait <2442> for him.

19 For the people <5971> shall dwell <3427> in Zion <6726> at

Jerusalem <3389>: thou shalt weep <1058> no <3808> more <1058>:

he will be very gracious <2603> unto thee at the voice <6963> of

thy cry <2201>; when he shall hear <8085> it, he will answer

<6030> thee.

20 And [though] the Lord <0136> give <5414> you the bread

<3899> of adversity <6862>, and the water <4325> of affliction

<3905>, yet shall not thy teachers <3384> be removed <3670> into

a corner <3671> any more <5750>, but thine eyes <5869> shall see

<7200> thy teachers <3384>:

21 And thine ears <0241> shall hear <8085> a word <1697> behind

<0310> thee, saying <0559>, This <2088> [is] the way <1870>,

walk <3212> ye in it, when <3588> ye turn to the right <0541>

hand <3027>, and when <3588> ye turn to the left <8041>.

22 Ye shall defile <2930> also the covering <6826> of thy

graven <6456> images of silver <3701>, and the ornament <0642>

of thy molten <4541> images of gold <2091>: thou shalt cast

<2219> them away <2219> as a menstruous <1739> cloth; thou shalt

say <0559> unto it, Get <3318> thee hence <3318>.

23 Then shall he give <5414> the rain <4306> of thy seed <2233>,

that thou shalt sow <2232> the ground <0127> withal; and bread

<3899> of the increase <8393> of the earth <0127>, and it shall

be fat <1879> and plenteous <8082>: in that day <3117> shall thy

cattle <4735> feed <7462> in large <7337> pastures <3733>.

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

<5647> the ground <0127> shall eat <0398> clean <2548> provender

<1098>, which <0834> hath been winnowed <2219> with the shovel

<7371> and with the fan <4214>.

25 And there shall be upon every <3605> high <1364> mountain

<2022>, and upon every <3605> high <4791> hill <1389>, rivers

<6388> [and] streams <2988> of waters <4325> in the day <3117>

of the great <7227> slaughter <2027>, when the towers <4026>

fall <5307>.

26 Moreover the light <0216> of the moon <3842> shall be as the

light <0216> of the sun <2535>, and the light <0216> of the sun

<8121> shall be sevenfold <7659>, as the light <0216> of seven

<7651> days <3117>, in the day <3117> that the LORD <3068>

bindeth <2280> up the breach <7667> of his people <5971>, and

healeth <7495> the stroke <4273> of their wound <4347>.

27. Behold <2009>, the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> cometh

<0935> from far <4801>, burning <1197> [with] his anger <0639>,

and the burden <4858> [thereof is] heavy <3514>: his lips <8193>

are full <4390> of indignation <2195>, and his tongue <3956> as

a devouring <0398> fire <0784>:

28 And his breath <7307>, as an overflowing <7857> stream

<5158>, shall reach <5060> to the midst <2673> of the neck

<6677>, to sift <5130> the nations <1471> with the sieve <5299>

of vanity <7723>: and [there shall be] a bridle <7448> in the

jaws <3895> of the people <5971>, causing [them] to err <8582>.

29 Ye shall have <1961> a song <7892>, as in the night <3915>

[when] a holy <6942> solemnity <2282> is kept <6942>; and

gladness <8057> of heart <3824>, as when one goeth <1980> with a

pipe <2485> to come <0935> into the mountain <2022> of the LORD

<3068>, to the mighty <6697> One of Israel <3478>.

30 And the LORD <3068> shall cause his glorious <1935> voice

<6963> to be heard <8085>, and shall shew <7200> the lighting

<5183> down <5183> of his arm <2220>, with the indignation

<2197> of [his] anger <0639>, and [with] the flame <3851> of a

devouring <0398> fire <0784>, [with] scattering <5311>, and

tempest <2230>, and hailstones.

31 For through the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> shall the

Assyrian <0804> be beaten <2865> down, [which] smote <5221> with

a rod <7626>.

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

<4294> shall pass <4569>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> shall lay

<5117> upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets <8596> and harps

<3658>: and in battles <4421> of shaking <8573> will he fight

<3898> with it.

33 For Tophet <8613> [is] ordained <6186> of old <0865>; yea

<1571>, for the king <4428> it is prepared <3559>; he hath made

[it] deep <6009> [and] large <7337>: the pile <4071> thereof

[is] fire <0784> and much <7235> wood <6086>; the breath <5397>

of the LORD <3068>, like a stream <5158> of brimstone <1614>,

doth kindle <1197> it.

Isaiah 31

1. Woe <1945> to them that go <3381> down <3381> to Egypt

<4714> for help <5833>; and stay <8172> on <5921> horses <5483>,

and trust <0982> in chariots <7393>, because <3588> [they are]

many <7227>; and in horsemen <6571>, because <3588> they are

very <3966> strong <6105>; but they look <8159> not unto the

Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>, neither <3808> seek <1875> the

LORD <3068>!

2 Yet he also <1571> [is] wise <2450>, and will bring <0935>

evil <7451>, and will not call <5493> back <5493> his words

<1697>: but will arise <6965> against <5921> the house <1004> of

the evildoers <7489>, and against <5921> the help <5833> of them

that work <6213> iniquity <0205>.

3 Now the Egyptians <4714> [are] men <0120>, and not God <0410>;

and their horses <5483> flesh <1320>, and not spirit <7307>.

When the LORD <3068> shall stretch <5186> out his hand <3027>,

both <8147> he that helpeth <5826> shall fall <3782>, and he

that is holpen <5826> shall fall <5307> down, and they all

<3605> shall fail <3615> together <3162>.

4 For thus <3541> hath the LORD <3068> spoken <0559> unto me,

Like as the lion <0738> and the young <3715> lion <3715> roaring

<1897> on <5921> his prey <2964>, when <0834> a multitude <4393>

of shepherds <7462> is called <7121> forth against <5921> him,

[he] will not be afraid <2865> of their voice <6963>, nor <3808>

abase <6031> himself for the noise <1995> of them: so <3651>

shall the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> come <3381> down <3381> to

fight <6633> for mount <2022> Zion <6726>, and for the hill

<1389> thereof.

5 As birds <6833> flying <5774>, so will the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635> defend <1598> Jerusalem <3389>; defending <1598>

also he will deliver <5337> [it; and] passing <5674> over he

will preserve <4422> it.

6. Turn <7725> ye unto [him from] whom <0834> the children

<1121> of Israel <3478> have deeply <6009> revolted <5627>.

7 For in that day <3117> every man <0376> shall cast <3988>

away <3988> his idols <0457> of silver <3701>, and his idols

<0457> of gold <2091>, which <0834> your own hands <3027> have

made <6213> unto you [for] a sin <2399>.

8 Then shall the Assyrian <0804> fall <5307> with the sword

<2719>, not of a mighty <0376> man <0376>; and the sword <2719>,

not of a mean <0120> man <0120>, shall devour <0398> him: but he

shall flee <5127> from the sword <2719>, and his young <0970>

men shall be discomfited <4522>.

9 And he shall pass <5674> over <5674> to his strong <5553>

hold <5553> for fear <4032>, and his princes <8269> shall be

afraid <2865> of the ensign <5251>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>,

whose <0834> fire <0217> [is] in Zion <6726>, and his furnace

<8574> in Jerusalem <3389>.

Isaiah 32

1. Behold <2005>, a king <4428> shall reign <4427> in

righteousness <6664>, and princes <8269> shall rule <8323> in

judgment <4941>.

2 And a man <0376> shall be as an hiding <4224> place from the

wind <7307>, and a covert <5643> from the tempest <2230>; as

rivers <6388> of water <4325> in a dry <6724> place, as the

shadow <6738> of a great <3515> rock <5553> in a weary <5889>

land <0776>.

3 And the eyes <5869> of them that see <7200> shall not be dim

<8159>, and the ears <0241> of them that hear <8085> shall

hearken <7181>.

4 The heart <3824> also of the rash <4116> shall understand

<0995> knowledge <1847>, and the tongue <3956> of the stammerers

<5926> shall be ready <4116> to speak <1696> plainly <6703>.

5 The vile <5036> person shall be no <3808> more <5750> called

<7121> liberal <5081>, nor <3808> the churl <3596> said <0559>

[to be] bountiful <7771>.

6 For the vile <5036> person will speak <1696> villany <5039>,

and his heart <3820> will work <6213> iniquity <0205>, to

practise <6213> hypocrisy <2612>, and to utter <1696> error

<8432> against <0413> the LORD <3068>, to make empty <7324> the

soul <5315> of the hungry <7456>, and he will cause the drink

<4945> of the thirsty <6771> to fail <2637>.

7 The instruments <3627> also of the churl <3596> [are] evil

<7451>: he deviseth <3289> wicked <2154> devices <2154> to

destroy <2254> the poor with lying <8267> words <0561>, even

when the needy <34> speaketh <1696> right <4941>.

8 But the liberal <5081> deviseth <3289> liberal <5081> things;

and by liberal <5081> things shall he stand <6965>.

9. Rise <6965> up, ye women <0802> that are at ease <7600>;

hear <8085> my voice <6963>, ye careless <0982> daughters <1121>;

give ear <0238> unto my speech <0565>.

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

<7264>, ye careless <0982> women: for the vintage <1210> shall

fail <3615>, the gathering <0625> shall not come <0935>.

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

troubled <7264>, ye careless <0982> ones: strip <6584> you, and

make you bare <6209>, and gird <2290> [sackcloth] upon [your]

loins <2504>.

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

pleasant <2531> fields <7704>, for the fruitful <6509> vine

<1612>.

13 Upon the land <0127> of my people <5971> shall come <5927>

up thorns <6975> [and] briers <8068>; yea <3588>, upon all

<3605> the houses <1004> of joy <4885> [in] the joyous <5947>

city <7151>:

14 Because <3588> the palaces <0759> shall be forsaken <5203>;

the multitude <1995> of the city <5892> shall be left <5800>;

the forts <6076> and towers <0975> shall be for dens <4631> for

ever <5769>, a joy <4885> of wild <6501> asses <6501>, a pasture

<4829> of flocks <5739>;

15 Until <5704> the spirit <7307> be poured <6168> upon us from

on high <4791>, and the wilderness <4057> be a fruitful <3759>

field, and the fruitful <3759> field be counted <2803> for a

forest <3293>.

16 Then judgment <4941> shall dwell <7931> in the wilderness

<4057>, and righteousness <6666> remain <3427> in the fruitful

<3759> field.

17 And the work <4639> of righteousness <6666> shall be peace

<7965>; and the effect <5656> of righteousness <6666> quietness

<8252> and assurance <0983> for ever <5769>.

18 And my people <5971> shall dwell <3427> in a peaceable

<7965> habitation <5116>, and in sure <4009> dwellings <4908>,

and in quiet <7600> resting <4496> places;

19 When it shall hail <1258>, coming <3381> down <3381> on the

forest <3293>; and the city <5892> shall be low <8213> in a low

<8219> place.

20 Blessed <0835> [are] ye that sow <2232> beside <5921> all

<3605> waters <4325>, that send <7971> forth [thither] the feet

<7272> of the ox <7794> and the ass <2543>.

Isaiah 33

1. Woe <1945> to thee that spoilest <7703>, and thou [wast] not

spoiled <7703>; and dealest treacherously <0898>, and they dealt

not treacherously <0898> with thee! when thou shalt cease <8552>

to spoil <7703>, thou shalt be spoiled <7703>; [and] when thou

shalt make an end <5239> to deal treacherously <0898>, they

shall deal treacherously <0898> with thee.

2 O LORD <3068>, be gracious <2603> unto us; we have waited

<6960> for thee: be thou their arm <2220> every morning <1242>,

our salvation <3444> also <0637> in the time <6256> of trouble

<6869>.

3 At the noise <6963> of the tumult <1995> the people <5971>

fled <5074>; at the lifting <7427> up of thyself the nations

<1471> were scattered <5310>.

4 And your spoil <7998> shall be gathered <0622> [like] the

gathering <0625> of the caterpiller <2625>: as the running

<4944> to and fro of locusts <1357> shall he run <8264> upon

them.

5 The LORD <3068> is exalted <7682>; for he dwelleth <7931> on

high <4791>: he hath filled <4390> Zion <6726> with judgment

<4941> and righteousness <6666>.

6 And wisdom <2451> and knowledge <1847> shall be the stability

<0530> of thy times <6256>, [and] strength <2633> of salvation

<3444>: the fear <3374> of the LORD <3068> [is] his treasure

<0214>.

7 Behold <2005>, their valiant <0691> ones shall cry <6817>

without <2351>: the ambassadors <4397> of peace <7965> shall

weep <1058> bitterly <4751>.

8 The highways <4546> lie waste <8074>, the wayfaring man

ceaseth <7673>: he hath broken <6565> the covenant <1285>, he

hath despised <3988> the cities <5892>, he regardeth <2803> no

<3808> man <0582>.

9 The earth <0776> mourneth <56> [and] languisheth <0535>:

Lebanon <3844> is ashamed <2659> [and] hewn <7060> down: Sharon

<8289> is like a wilderness <6160>; and Bashan <1316> and Carmel

<3760> shake <5287> off [their fruits].

10 Now <6258> will I rise <6965>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>;

now <6258> will I be exalted <7311>; now <6258> will I lift

<5375> up myself.

11 Ye shall conceive <2029> chaff <2842>, ye shall bring <3205>

forth <3205> stubble <7179>: your breath <7307>, [as] fire

<0784>, shall devour <0398> you.

12 And the people <5971> shall be [as] the burnings <4955> of

lime <7875>: [as] thorns <6975> cut <3683> up shall they be

burned <3341> in the fire <0784>.

13. Hear <8085>, ye [that are] far <7350> off, what <0834> I

have done <6213>; and, ye [that are] near <7138>, acknowledge

<3045> my might <1369>.

14 The sinners <2400> in Zion <6726> are afraid <6342>;

fearfulness <7461> hath surprised <0270> the hypocrites. Who

<4310> among us shall dwell <1481> with the devouring <0398>

fire <0784>? who <4310> among us shall dwell <1481> with

everlasting <5769> burnings <4168>?

15 He that walketh <1980> righteously <6666>, and speaketh

<1696> uprightly <4339>; he that despiseth <3988> the gain

<1214> of oppressions <4642>, that shaketh <5287> his hands

<3709> from holding <8551> of bribes <7810>, that stoppeth

<0331> his ears <0241> from hearing <8085> of blood <1818>, and

shutteth <6105> his eyes <5869> from seeing <7200> evil <7451>;

16 He shall dwell <7931> on high <4791>: his place of defence

<4869> [shall be] the munitions <4679> of rocks <5553>: bread

<3899> shall be given <5414> him; his waters <4325> [shall be]

sure <0539>.

17 Thine eyes <5869> shall see <2372> the king <4428> in his

beauty <3308>: they shall behold <7200> the land <0776> that is

very <4801> far <4801> off.

18 Thine heart <3820> shall meditate <1897> terror <0367>.

Where <0346> [is] the scribe <5608>? where <0346> [is] the

receiver <8254>? where <0346> [is] he that counted <5608> the

towers <4026>?

19 Thou shalt not see <7200> a fierce <3267> people <5971>, a

people <5971> of a deeper <6012> speech <8193> than thou canst

perceive <8085>; of a stammering <3932> tongue <3956>, [that

thou canst] not understand <0998>.

20 Look <2372> upon Zion <6726>, the city <7151> of our

solemnities <4150>: thine eyes <5869> shall see <7200> Jerusalem

<3389> a quiet <7600> habitation <5116>, a tabernacle <0168>

[that] shall not be taken <6813> down; not one of the stakes

<3489> thereof shall ever <5331> be removed <5265>, neither

<1077> shall any <3605> of the cords <2256> thereof be broken

<5423>.

21 But there <8033> the glorious <0117> LORD <3068> [will be]

unto us a place <4725> of broad rivers <5103> [and] streams

<2975>; wherein shall go <3212> no <1077> galley <0590> with

oars <7885>, neither <3808> shall gallant <0117> ship <6716>

pass <5674> thereby.

22 For the LORD <3068> [is] our judge <8199>, the LORD <3068>

[is] our lawgiver <2710>, the LORD <3068> [is] our king <4428>;

he will save <3467> us.

23 Thy tacklings <2256> are loosed <5203>; they could not well

<3651> strengthen <2388> their mast <8650>, they could not

spread <6566> the sail <5251>: then <0227> is the prey <5706> of

a great <4766> spoil <7998> divided <2505>; the lame <6455> take

<0962> the prey <0957>.

24 And the inhabitant <7934> shall not say <0559>, I am sick

<2470>: the people <5971> that dwell <3427> therein [shall be]

forgiven <5375> [their] iniquity <5771>.

Isaiah 34

1. Come <7126> near <7126>, ye nations <1471>, to hear <8085>;

and hearken <7181>, ye people <3816>: let the earth <0776> hear

<8085>, and all <4393> that is therein <4393>; the world <8398>,

and all <3605> things that come <6631> forth <6631> of it.

2 For the indignation <7110> of the LORD <3068> [is] upon all

<3605> nations <1471>, and [his] fury <2534> upon all <3605>

their armies <6635>: he hath utterly destroyed <2763> them, he

hath delivered <5414> them to the slaughter <2875>.

3 Their slain <2491> also shall be cast <7993> out, and their

stink <0889> shall come <5927> up out of their carcases <6297>,

and the mountains <2022> shall be melted <4549> with their blood

<1818>.

4 And all <3605> the host <6635> of heaven <8064> shall be

dissolved <4743>, and the heavens <8064> shall be rolled <1556>

together as a scroll <5612>: and all <3605> their host <6635>

shall fall <5034> down, as the leaf <5929> falleth <5034> off

from the vine <1612>, and as a falling <5034> [fig <8384>] from

the fig <8384> tree.

5 For my sword <2719> shall be bathed <7301> in heaven <8064>:

behold <2009>, it shall come <3381> down <3381> upon Idumea

<0123>, and upon the people <5971> of my curse <2764>, to

judgment <4941>.

6 The sword <2719> of the LORD <3068> is filled <4390> with

blood <1818>, it is made fat <1878> with fatness <2459>, [and]

with the blood <1818> of lambs <3733> and goats <6260>, with the

fat <2459> of the kidneys <3629> of rams <0352>: for the LORD

<3068> hath a sacrifice <2077> in Bozrah <1224>, and a great

<1419> slaughter <2875> in the land <0776> of Idumea <0123>.

7 And the unicorns <7214> shall come <3381> down <3381> with

them, and the bullocks <6499> with the bulls <47>; and their

land <0776> shall be soaked <7301> with blood <1818>, and their

dust <6083> made fat <1878> with fatness <2459>.

8 For [it is] the day <3117> of the LORD'S <3068> vengeance

<5359>, [and] the year <8141> of recompences <7966> for the

controversy <7379> of Zion <6726>.

9. And the streams <5158> thereof shall be turned <2015> into

pitch <2203>, and the dust <6083> thereof into brimstone <1614>,

and the land <0776> thereof shall become <1961> burning <1197>

pitch <2203>.

10 It shall not be quenched <3518> night <3915> nor day <3119>;

the smoke <6227> thereof shall go <5927> up for ever <5769>:

from generation <1755> to generation <1755> it shall lie waste

<2717>; none <0369> shall pass <5674> through it for ever <5331>

and ever <5769>.

11 But the cormorant <6893> and the bittern <7090> shall

possess <3423> it; the owl <3244> also and the raven <6158>

shall dwell <7931> in it: and he shall stretch <5186> out upon

it the line <6957> of confusion <5414>, and the stones <68> of

emptiness <0922>.

12 They shall call <7121> the nobles <2715> thereof to the

kingdom <4410>, but none <0369> [shall be] there <8033>, and all

<3605> her princes <8269> shall be nothing <0657>.

13 And thorns <5518> shall come <5927> up in her palaces <0759>,

nettles <7057> and brambles <2336> in the fortresses <4013>

thereof: and it shall be an habitation <5116> of dragons <8577>,

[and] a court <2691> for owls.

14 The wild <6728> beasts <6728> of the desert <6728> shall

also meet <6298> with the wild <0338> beasts <0338> of the

island <0338>, and the satyr <8163> shall cry <7121> to his

fellow <7453>; the screech <3917> owl <3917> also <0389> shall

rest <7280> there <8033>, and find <4672> for herself a place of

rest <4494>.

15 There <8033> shall the great <7091> owl <7091> make her nest

<7077>, and lay <4422>, and hatch <1234>, and gather <1716>

under her shadow <6738>: there <8033> shall the vultures <1772>

also <0389> be gathered <6908>, every <0802> one with her mate

<7468>.

16 Seek <1875> ye out of the book <5612> of the LORD <3068>,

and read <7121>: no <3808> one <0259> of these <2007> shall fail

<5737>, none shall want <6485> her mate <7468>: for my mouth

<6310> it hath commanded <6680>, and his spirit <7307> it hath

gathered <6908> them.

17 And he hath cast <5307> the lot <1486> for them, and his

hand <3027> hath divided <2505> it unto them by line <6957>:

they shall possess <3423> it for ever <5769>, from generation

<1755> to generation <1755> shall they dwell <7931> therein.

Isaiah 35

1. The wilderness <4057> and the solitary <6723> place shall be

glad <7996> for them; and the desert <6160> shall rejoice <1523>,

and blossom <6524> as the rose <2261>.

2 It shall blossom <6524> abundantly <6524>, and rejoice <1523>

even <0637> with joy <1525> and singing <7442>: the glory <3519>

of Lebanon <3844> shall be given <5414> unto it, the excellency

<1926> of Carmel <3760> and Sharon <8289>, they shall see <7200>

the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068>, [and] the excellency <1926>

of our God <0430>.

3 Strengthen <2388> ye the weak <7504> hands <3027>, and

confirm <0553> the feeble <3782> knees <1290>.

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

<3820>, Be strong <2388>, fear <3372> not: behold <2009>, your

God <0430> will come <0935> [with] vengeance <5359>, [even] God

<0430> [with] a recompence <1576>; he will come <0935> and save

<3467> you.

5. Then <0227> the eyes <5869> of the blind <5787> shall be

opened <6491>, and the ears <0241> of the deaf <2795> shall be

unstopped <6605>.

6 Then <0227> shall the lame <6455> [man] leap <1801> as an

hart <0354>, and the tongue <3956> of the dumb <0483> sing

<7442>: for in the wilderness <4057> shall waters <4325> break

<1234> out, and streams <5158> in the desert <6160>.

7 And the parched <8273> ground shall become <1961> a pool <98>,

and the thirsty <6774> land springs <4002> of water <4325>: in

the habitation <5116> of dragons <8577>, where each lay <7258>,

[shall be] grass <2682> with reeds <7070> and rushes <1573>.

8 And an highway <4547> shall be there <8033>, and a way <1870>,

and it shall be called <7121> The way <1870> of holiness <6944>;

the unclean <2931> shall not pass <5674> over <5674> it; but it

[shall be] for those: the wayfaring men <0582>, though fools

<0191>, shall not err <8582> [therein].

9 No <3808> lion <0738> shall be there <8033>, nor <1077> [any]

ravenous <6530> beast <2416> shall go <5927> up thereon, it

shall not be found <4672> there <8033>; but the redeemed <1350>

shall walk <1980> [there]:

10 And the ransomed <6299> of the LORD <3068> shall return

<7725>, and come <0935> to Zion <6726> with songs <7440> and

everlasting <5769> joy <8057> upon their heads <7218>: they

shall obtain <5381> joy <8057> and gladness <8057>, and sorrow

<3015> and sighing <0585> shall flee <5127> away.

Isaiah 36

1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the fourteenth year <8141> of

king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>, [that] Sennacherib <5576> king

<4428> of Assyria <0804> came <5927> up against <5921> all

<3605> the defenced <1219> cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and

took <8610> them.

2 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> sent <7971> Rabshakeh

<7262> from Lachish <3923> to Jerusalem <3389> unto king <4428>

Hezekiah <2396> with a great <3515> army <2426>. And he stood

<5975> by the conduit <8585> of the upper <5945> pool <1295> in

the highway <4546> of the fuller's <3526> field <7704>.

3 Then came <3318> forth <3318> unto him Eliakim <0471>,

Hilkiah's <2518> son <1121>, which <0834> was over <5921> the

house <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah

<3098>, Asaph's <0623> son <1121>, the recorder <2142>.

4 And Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559> unto them, Say <0559> ye now

<4994> to Hezekiah <2396>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the great

<1419> king <4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, What

confidence <0986> [is] this <2088> wherein <0834> thou trustest

<0982>?

5 I say <0559>, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain <8193>

words <1697>) [I have] counsel <6098> and strength <1369> for

war <4421>: now <6258> on <5921> whom <4310> dost thou trust

<0982>, that thou rebellest <4775> against me?

6 Lo <2009>, thou trustest <0982> in the staff <4938> of this

<2088> broken <7533> reed <7070>, on <5921> Egypt <4714>;

whereon if a man <0376> lean <5564>, it will go <0935> into his

hand <3709>, and pierce <5344> it: so <3651> [is] Pharaoh <6547>

king <4428> of Egypt <4714> to all <3605> that trust <0982> in

him.

7 But if thou say <0559> to me, We trust <0982> in the LORD

<3068> our God <0430>: [is it] not he, whose high <1111> places

and whose altars <4196> Hezekiah <2396> hath taken <5493> away

<5493>, and said <0559> to Judah <3063> and to Jerusalem <3389>,

Ye shall worship <7812> before <6440> this <2088> altar <4196>?

8 Now <6258> therefore give pledges <6148>, I pray <4994> thee,

to my master <0113> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and I

will give <5414> thee two thousand <0505> horses <5483>, if

<0518> thou be able <3201> on thy part to set <5414> riders

<7392> upon them.

9 How <0349> then wilt thou turn <7725> away the face <6440> of

one <0259> captain <6346> of the least <6996> of my master's

<0113> servants <5650>, and put thy trust <0982> on <5921> Egypt

<4714> for chariots <7393> and for horsemen <6571>?

10 And am I now <6258> come <5927> up without <1107> the LORD

<3068> against <5921> this <2063> land <0776> to destroy <7843>

it? the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Go <5927> up against

<0413> this <2063> land <0776>, and destroy <7843> it.

11. Then said <0559> Eliakim <0471> and Shebna <7644> and Joah

<3098> unto Rabshakeh <7262>, Speak <1696>, I pray <4994> thee,

unto thy servants <5650> in the Syrian <0762> language; for we

understand <8085> [it]: and speak <1696> not to us in the Jews

<3064>' language, in the ears <0241> of the people <5971> that

[are] on <5921> the wall <2346>.

12 But Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559>, Hath my master <0113> sent

<7971> me to thy master <0113> and to thee to speak <1696> these

<0428> words <1697>? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men <0582>

that sit <3427> upon the wall <2346>, that they may eat <0398>

their own dung, and drink <8354> their own piss <7890> with you?

13 Then Rabshakeh <7262> stood <5975>, and cried <7121> with a

loud <1419> voice <6963> in the Jews <3064>' language, and said

<0559>, Hear <8085> ye the words <1697> of the great <1419> king

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

14 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the king <4428>, Let not Hezekiah

<2396> deceive <5377> you: for he shall not be able <3201> to

deliver <5337> you.

15 Neither <0408> let Hezekiah <2396> make you trust <0982> in

the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will surely

deliver <5337> us: this <2063> city <5892> shall not be

delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of

Assyria <0804>.

16 Hearken <8085> not to Hezekiah <2396>: for thus <3541> saith

<0559> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, Make <6213> [an

agreement] with me [by] a present <1293>, and come <3318> out to

me: and eat <0398> ye every <0376> one <0376> of his vine <1612>,

and every <0376> one <0376> of his fig <8384> tree, and drink

<8354> ye every <0376> one <0376> the waters <4325> of his own

cistern <0953>;

17 Until <5704> I come <0935> and take <3947> you away to a

land <0776> like your own land <0776>, a land <0776> of corn

<1715> and wine <8492>, a land <0776> of bread <3899> and

vineyards <3754>.

18 [Beware] lest <6435> Hezekiah <2396> persuade <5496> you,

saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will deliver <5337> us. Hath any

<0376> of the gods <0430> of the nations <1471> delivered <5337>

his land <0776> out of the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of

Assyria <0804>?

19 Where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Hamath <2574> and

Arphad <0774>? where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Sepharvaim

<5617>? and have they delivered <5337> Samaria <8111> out of my

hand <3027>?

20 Who <4310> [are they] among all <3605> the gods <0430> of

these <0428> lands <0776>, that have delivered <5337> their land

<0776> out of my hand <3027>, that the LORD <3068> should

deliver <5337> Jerusalem <3389> out of my hand <3027>?

21 But they held <2790> their peace <2790>, and answered <6030>

him not a word <1697>: for the king's <4428> commandment <4687>

was, saying <0559>, Answer <6030> him not.

22 Then came <0935> Eliakim <0471>, the son <1121> of Hilkiah

<2518>, that [was] over <5921> the household <1004>, and Shebna

<7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah <3098>, the son <1121> of

Asaph <0623>, the recorder <2142>, to Hezekiah <2396> with

[their] clothes <0899> rent <7167>, and told <5046> him the

words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>.

Isaiah 37

1. And it came <1961> to pass, when king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>

heard <8085> [it], that he rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, and

covered <3680> himself with sackcloth <8242>, and went <0935>

into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.

2 And he sent <7971> Eliakim <0471>, who <0834> [was] over

<5921> the household <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>,

and the elders <2205> of the priests <3548> covered <3680> with

sackcloth <8242>, unto Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> the son

<1121> of Amoz <0531>.

3 And they said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559>

Hezekiah <2396>, This <2088> day <3117> [is] a day <3117> of

trouble <6869>, and of rebuke <8433>, and of blasphemy <5007>:

for the children <1121> are come <0935> to the birth <4866>, and

[there is] not strength <3581> to bring <3205> forth <3205>.

4 It may be the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> will hear <8085> the

words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>, whom <0834> the king <4428> of

Assyria <0804> his master <0113> hath sent <7971> to reproach

<2778> the living <2416> God <0430>, and will reprove <3198> the

words <1697> which <0834> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> hath

heard <8085>: wherefore lift <5375> up [thy] prayer <8605> for

the remnant <7611> that is left <4672>.

5 So the servants <5650> of king <4428> Hezekiah <2396> came

<0935> to Isaiah <3470>.

6 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> shall ye

say <0559> unto your master <0113>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the

LORD <3068>, Be not afraid <3372> of the words <1697> that thou

hast heard <8085>, wherewith <0834> the servants <5288> of the

king <4428> of Assyria <0804> have blasphemed <1442> me.

7 Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> a blast <7307> upon him,

and he shall hear <8085> a rumour <8052>, and return <7725> to

his own land <0776>; and I will cause him to fall <5307> by the

sword <2719> in his own land <0776>.

8. So Rabshakeh <7262> returned <7725>, and found <4672> the

king <4428> of Assyria <0804> warring <3898> against <5921>

Libnah <3841>: for he had heard <8085> that he was departed

<5265> from Lachish <3923>.

9 And he heard <8085> say <0559> concerning <5921> Tirhakah

<8640> king <4428> of Ethiopia <3568>, He is come <3318> forth

<3318> to make war <3898> with thee. And when he heard <8085>

[it], he sent <7971> messengers <4397> to Hezekiah <2396>,

saying <0559>,

10 Thus <3541> shall ye speak <0559> to Hezekiah <2396> king

<4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, Let not thy God <0430>,

in whom <0834> thou trustest <0982>, deceive <5377> thee, saying

<0559>, Jerusalem <3389> shall not be given <5414> into the hand

<3027> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.

11 Behold <2009>, thou hast heard <8085> what <0834> the kings

<4428> of Assyria <0804> have done <6213> to all <3605> lands

<0776> by destroying <2763> them utterly; and shalt thou be

delivered <5337>?

12 Have the gods <0430> of the nations <1471> delivered <5337>

them which <0834> my fathers <1> have destroyed <7843>, [as]

Gozan <1470>, and Haran <2771>, and Rezeph <7530>, and the

children <1121> of Eden <5731> which <0834> [were] in Telassar

<8515>?

13 Where <0346> [is] the king <4428> of Hamath <2574>, and the

king <4428> of Arphad <0774>, and the king <4428> of the city

<5892> of Sepharvaim <5617>, Hena <2012>, and Ivah <5755>?

14 And Hezekiah <2396> received <3947> the letter <5612> from

the hand <3027> of the messengers <4397>, and read <7121> it:

and Hezekiah <2396> went <5927> up unto the house <1004> of the

LORD <3068>, and spread <6566> it before <6440> the LORD <3068>.

15 And Hezekiah <2396> prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>,

saying <0559>,

16 O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, God <0430> of Israel <3478>,

that dwellest <3427> [between] the cherubims <3742>, thou [art]

the God <0430>, [even] thou alone <0905>, of all <3605> the

kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>: thou hast made <6213>

heaven <8064> and earth <0776>.

17 Incline <5186> thine ear <0241>, O LORD <3068>, and hear

<8085>; open <6491> thine eyes <5869>, O LORD <3068>, and see

<7200>: and hear <8085> all <3605> the words <1697> of

Sennacherib <5576>, which <0834> hath sent <7971> to reproach

<2778> the living <2416> God <0430>.

18 Of a truth <0551>, LORD <3068>, the kings <4428> of Assyria

<0804> have laid waste <2717> all <3605> the nations <0776>, and

their countries <0776>,

19 And have cast <5414> their gods <0430> into the fire <0784>:

for they [were] no <3808> gods <0430>, but the work <4639> of

men's <0120> hands <3027>, wood <6086> and stone <68>: therefore

they have destroyed <6> them.

20 Now <6258> therefore, O LORD <3068> our God <0430>, save

<3467> us from his hand <3027>, that all <3605> the kingdoms

<4467> of the earth <0776> may know <3045> that thou [art] the

LORD <3068>, [even] thou only <0905>.

21. Then Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531> sent

<7971> unto Hezekiah <2396>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith

<0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, Whereas

<0834> thou hast prayed <6419> to me against <0413> Sennacherib

<5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804>:

22 This <2088> [is] the word <1697> which <0834> the LORD

<3068> hath spoken <1696> concerning <5921> him; The virgin

<1330>, the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>, hath despised <0959>

thee, [and] laughed <3932> thee to scorn; the daughter <1323> of

Jerusalem <3389> hath shaken <5128> her head <7218> at thee.

23 Whom hast thou reproached <2778> and blasphemed <1442>? and

against <5921> whom <4310> hast thou exalted <7311> [thy] voice

<6963>, and lifted <5375> up thine eyes <5869> on high <4796>?

[even] against <0413> the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.

24 By thy servants <5650> hast thou reproached <2778> the Lord

<0136>, and hast said <0559>, By the multitude <7230> of my

chariots <7393> am I come <5927> up to the height <4791> of the

mountains <2022>, to the sides <3411> of Lebanon <3844>; and I

will cut <3772> down the tall <6967> cedars <0730> thereof,

[and] the choice <4005> fir <1265> trees thereof: and I will

enter <0935> into the height <4791> of his border <7093>, [and]

the forest <3293> of his Carmel <3760>.

25 I have digged <5365>, and drunk <8354> water <4325>; and

with the sole <3709> of my feet <6471> have I dried <2717> up

all <3605> the rivers <2975> of the besieged <4693> places.

26 Hast thou not heard <8085> long <5704> ago <7350>, [how] I

have done <6213> it; [and] of ancient <6924> times <3117>, that

I have formed <3335> it? now <6258> have I brought <0935> it to

pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste <7582> defenced <1219>

cities <5892> [into] ruinous <5327> heaps <1530>.

27 Therefore their inhabitants <3427> [were] of small <7116>

power <3027>, they were dismayed <2865> and confounded <0954>:

they were [as] the grass <6212> of the field <7704>, and [as]

the green <3419> herb <1877>, [as] the grass <2682> on the

housetops <1406>, and [as corn] blasted <7709> before <6440> it

be grown <6965> up.

28 But I know <3045> thy abode <3427>, and thy going <3318> out,

and thy coming <0935> in, and thy rage <7264> against <0413> me.

29 Because <3282> thy rage <7264> against <0413> me, and thy

tumult <7600>, is come <5927> up into mine ears <0241>,

therefore will I put <7760> my hook <2397> in thy nose <0639>,

and my bridle <4964> in thy lips <8193>, and I will turn <7725>

thee back <7725> by the way <1870> by which <0834> thou camest

<0935>.

30 And this <2088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee, Ye shall

eat <0398> [this] year <8141> such as groweth <5599> of itself;

and the second <8145> year <8141> that which springeth <7823> of

the same: and in the third <7992> year <8141> sow <2232> ye, and

reap <7114>, and plant <5193> vineyards <3754>, and eat <0398>

the fruit <6529> thereof.

31 And the remnant <7604> that is escaped <6413> of the house

<1004> of Judah <3063> shall again take root <8328> downward

<4295>, and bear <6213> fruit <6529> upward <4605>:

32 For out of Jerusalem <3389> shall go <3318> forth <3318> a

remnant <7611>, and they that escape <6413> out of mount <2022>

Zion <6726>: the zeal <7068> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>

shall do <6213> this <2063>.

33 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>

concerning <0413> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, He shall

not come <0935> into <0413> this <2063> city <5892>, nor <3808>

shoot an arrow <2671> there <8033>, nor <3808> come <6923>

before <6924> it with shields <4043>, nor <3808> cast <8210> a

bank <5550> against <5921> it.

34 By the way <1870> that he came <0935>, by the same shall he

return <7725>, and shall not come <0935> into <0413> this <2063>

city <5892>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

35 For I will defend <1598> this <2063> city <5892> to save

<3467> it for mine own sake, and for my servant <5650> David's

<1732> sake <4616>.

36 Then the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> went <3318> forth

<3318>, and smote <5221> in the camp <4264> of the Assyrians

<0804> a hundred <3967> and fourscore <8084> and five <2568>

thousand <0505>: and when they arose <2224> early <7925> in the

morning <1242>, behold <2009>, they [were] all <3605> dead

<4191> corpses <6297>.

37 So Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804> departed

<5265>, and went <3212> and returned <7725>, and dwelt <3427> at

Nineveh <5210>.

38 And it came <1961> to pass, as he was worshipping <7812> in

the house <1004> of Nisroch <5268> his god <0430>, that

Adrammelech <0152> and Sharezer <8272> his sons <1121> smote

<5221> him with the sword <2719>; and they escaped <4422> into

the land <0776> of Armenia <0780>: and Esarhaddon <0634> his son

<1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.

Isaiah 38

1. In those <1992> days <3117> was Hezekiah <2396> sick <2470>

unto death <4191>. And Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> the son

<1121> of Amoz <0531> came <0935> unto him, and said <0559> unto

him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Set thine house

<1004> in order <6680>: for thou shalt die <4191>, and not live

<2421>.

2 Then Hezekiah <2396> turned <5437> his face <6440> toward

<0413> the wall <7023>, and prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>,

3 And said <0559>, Remember <2142> now <4994>, O LORD <3068>, I

beseech <0577> thee, how <0834> I have walked <1980> before

<6440> thee in truth <0571> and with a perfect <8003> heart

<3820>, and have done <6213> [that which is] good <2896> in thy

sight <5869>. And Hezekiah <2396> wept <1058> sore <1419>.

4 Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> to Isaiah

<3470>, saying <0559>,

5 Go <1980>, and say <0559> to Hezekiah <2396>, Thus <3541>

saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of David <1732> thy

father <1>, I have heard <8085> thy prayer <8605>, I have seen

<7200> thy tears <1832>: behold <2005>, I will add <3254> unto

thy days <3117> fifteen <6240> years <8141>.

6 And I will deliver <5337> thee and this <2063> city <5892>

out of the hand <3709> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>: and

I will defend <1598> this <2063> city <5892>.

7 And this <2088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee from the

LORD <3068>, that the LORD <3068> will do <6213> this <2088>

thing <1697> that he hath spoken <1696>;

8 Behold <2005>, I will bring <7725> again <7725> the shadow

<6738> of the degrees <4609>, which <0834> is gone <3381> down

in the sun <8121> dial <4609> of Ahaz <0271>, ten <6235> degrees

<4609> backward <0322>. So the sun <8121> returned <7725> ten

<6235> degrees <4609>, by which degrees <4609> it was gone

<3381> down.

9. The writing <4385> of Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah

<3063>, when he had been sick <2470>, and was recovered <2421>

of his sickness <2483>:

10 I said <0559> in the cutting <1824> off of my days <3117>, I

shall go <3212> to the gates <8179> of the grave <7585>: I am

deprived <6485> of the residue <3499> of my years <8141>.

11 I said <0559>, I shall not see <7200> the LORD <3050>,

[even] the LORD <3050>, in the land <0776> of the living <2416>:

I shall behold <7200> man <0120> no <3808> more with the

inhabitants <3427> of the world <2309>.

12 Mine age <1755> is departed <5265>, and is removed <1556>

from me as a shepherd's <7473> tent <0168>: I have cut <7088>

off like a weaver <0707> my life <2416>: he will cut <1214> me

off with pining <1803> sickness: from day <3117> [even] to night

<3915> wilt thou make an end <7999> of me.

13 I reckoned <7737> till <5704> morning <1242>, [that], as a

lion <0738>, so <3651> will he break <7665> all <3605> my bones

<6106>: from day <3117> [even] to night <3915> wilt thou make an

end <7999> of me.

14 Like a crane <5483> [or] a swallow <5693>, so <3651> did I

chatter <6850>: I did mourn <1897> as a dove <3123>: mine eyes

<5869> fail <1809> [with looking] upward <4791>: O LORD <3068>,

I am oppressed <6234>; undertake <6148> for me.

15 What <4100> shall I say <1696>? he hath both spoken <0559>

unto me, and himself <1931> hath done <6213> [it]: I shall go

<1718> softly all <3605> my years <8141> in the bitterness

<4751> of my soul <5315>.

16 O Lord <0136>, by these <5921> [things men] live <2421>, and

in all <3605> these [things is] the life <2416> of my spirit

<7307>: so wilt thou recover <2492> me, and make me to live

<2421>.

17 Behold <2009>, for peace <7965> I had great bitterness

<4843>: but thou hast in love <2836> to my soul <5315>

[delivered it] from the pit <7845> of corruption <1097>: for

thou hast cast <7993> all <3605> my sins <2399> behind <0310>

thy back <1458>.

18 For the grave <7585> cannot <3808> praise <3034> thee, death

<4194> can <3201> [not] celebrate <1984> thee: they that go

<3381> down <3381> into the pit <0953> cannot <3808> hope <7663>

for thy truth <0571>.

19 The living <2416>, the living <2416>, he shall praise <3034>

thee, as I [do] this day <3117>: the father <1> to the children

<1121> shall make known <3045> thy truth <0571>.

20 The LORD <3068> [was ready] to save <3467> me: therefore we

will sing my songs <5058> to the stringed <5058> instruments all

<3605> the days <3117> of our life <2416> in the house <1004> of

the LORD <3068>.

21 For Isaiah <3470> had said <0559>, Let them take <5375> a

lump <1690> of figs <8384>, and lay [it] for a plaister <4799>

upon the boil <7822>, and he shall recover <2421>.

22 Hezekiah <2396> also had said <0559>, What <4100> [is] the

sign <0226> that I shall go <5927> up to the house <1004> of the

LORD <3068>?

Isaiah 39

1. At that time <6256> Merodachbaladan <4757>, the son <1121>

of Baladan <1081>, king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, sent <7971>

letters <5612> and a present <4503> to Hezekiah <2396>: for he

had heard <8085> that he had been sick <2470>, and was recovered

<2388>.

2 And Hezekiah <2396> was glad <8056> of them, and shewed

<7200> them the house <1004> of his precious <5238> things, the

silver <3701>, and the gold <2091>, and the spices <1314>, and

the precious <2896> ointment <8081>, and all <3605> the house

<1004> of his armour <3627>, and all <3605> that was found

<4672> in his treasures <0214>: there was nothing in his house

<1004>, nor in all <3605> his dominion <4475>, that Hezekiah

<2396> shewed <7200> them not.

3 Then came <0935> Isaiah <3470> the prophet <5030> unto king

<4428> Hezekiah <2396>, and said <0559> unto him, What <4100>

said <0559> these <0428> men <0582>? and from whence <0370> came

<0935> they unto thee? And Hezekiah <2396> said <0559>, They are

come <0935> from a far <7350> country <0776> unto me, [even]

from Babylon <0894>.

4 Then said <0559> he, What <4100> have they seen <7200> in

thine house <1004>? And Hezekiah <2396> answered <0559>, All

<3605> that [is] in mine house <1004> have they seen <7200>:

there is nothing among my treasures <0214> that I have not

shewed <7200> them.

5. Then said <0559> Isaiah <3470> to Hezekiah <2396>, Hear

<8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>:

6 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, that all <3605>

that [is] in thine house <1004>, and [that] which <0834> thy

fathers <1> have laid up in store <0686> until <5704> this

<2088> day <3117>, shall be carried <5375> to Babylon <0894>:

nothing shall be left <3498>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.

7 And of thy sons <1121> that shall issue <3318> from thee,

which <0834> thou shalt beget <3205>, shall they take <3947>

away; and they shall be eunuchs <5631> in the palace <1964> of

the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>.

8 Then said <0559> Hezekiah <2396> to Isaiah <3470>, Good

<1319> [is] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> thou

hast spoken <1696>. He said <0559> moreover, For there shall be

peace <7965> and truth <0571> in my days <3117>.

Isaiah 40

1. Comfort <5162> ye, comfort <5162> ye my people <5971>, saith

<0559> your God <0430>.

2 Speak <1696> ye comfortably to Jerusalem <3389>, and cry

<7121> unto her, that her warfare <6635> is accomplished <4390>,

that her iniquity <5771> is pardoned <7521>: for she hath

received <3947> of the LORD'S <3068> hand <3027> double <3718>

for all <3605> her sins <2403>.

3. The voice <6963> of him that crieth <7121> in the wilderness

<4057>, Prepare <6437> ye the way <1870> of the LORD <3068>,

make straight <3474> in the desert <6160> a highway <4546> for

our God <0430>.

4 Every <3605> valley <1516> shall be exalted <5375>, and every

<3605> mountain <2022> and hill <1389> shall be made low <8213>:

and the crooked <6121> shall be made straight <4334>, and the

rough <7406> places plain <1237>:

5 And the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> shall be revealed

<1540>, and all <3605> flesh <1320> shall see <7200> [it]

together <3162>: for the mouth <6310> of the LORD <3068> hath

spoken <1696> [it].

6 The voice <6963> said <0559>, Cry <7121>. And he said <0559>,

What <4100> shall I cry <7121>? All <3605> flesh <1320> [is]

grass <2682>, and all <3605> the goodliness <2617> thereof [is]

as the flower <6731> of the field <7704>:

7 The grass <2682> withereth <3001>, the flower <6731> fadeth

<5034>: because <3588> the spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068>

bloweth <5380> upon it: surely <0406> the people <5971> [is]

grass <2682>.

8 The grass <2682> withereth <3001>, the flower <6731> fadeth

<5034>: but the word <1697> of our God <0430> shall stand <6965>

for ever <5769>.

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

<1319>, get <5927> thee up into <5921> the high <1364> mountain

<2022>; O Jerusalem <3389>, that bringest <1319> good tidings

<1319>, lift <7311> up thy voice <6963> with strength <3581>;

lift <7311> [it] up, be not afraid <3372>; say <0559> unto the

cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, Behold <2009> your God <0430>!

10 Behold <2009>, the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will come <0935>

with strong <2389> [hand], and his arm <2220> shall rule <4910>

for him: behold <2009>, his reward <7939> [is] with him, and his

work <6468> before <6440> him.

11 He shall feed <7462> his flock <5739> like a shepherd <7462>:

he shall gather <6908> the lambs <2922> with his arm <2220>,

and carry <5375> [them] in his bosom <2436>, [and] shall gently

lead <5095> those that are with young <5763>.

12. Who <4310> hath measured <4058> the waters <4325> in the

hollow <8168> of his hand, and meted <8505> out heaven <8064>

with the span <2239>, and comprehended <3557> the dust <6083> of

the earth <0776> in a measure <7991>, and weighed <8254> the

mountains <2022> in scales <6425>, and the hills <1389> in a

balance <3976>?

13 Who <4310> hath directed <8505> the Spirit <7307> of the

LORD <3068>, or [being] his counsellor <6098> hath taught <3045>

him?

14 With whom <4310> took he counsel <3289>, and [who]

instructed <0995> him, and taught <3925> him in the path <0734>

of judgment <4941>, and taught <3925> him knowledge <1847>, and

shewed <3045> to him the way <1870> of understanding <8394>?

15 Behold <2005>, the nations <1471> [are] as a drop <4752> of

a bucket <1805>, and are counted <2803> as the small dust <7834>

of the balance <3976>: behold <2005>, he taketh <5190> up the

isles <0339> as a very <1851> little <1851> thing.

16 And Lebanon <3844> [is] not sufficient <1767> to burn <1197>,

nor <0369> the beasts <2416> thereof sufficient <1767> for a

burnt <5930> offering.

17 All <3605> nations <1471> before <6440> him [are] as nothing

<0369>; and they are counted <2803> to him less <0657> than

nothing, and vanity <8414>.

18. To whom <4310> then will ye liken <1819> God <0410>? or

what <4100> likeness <1823> will ye compare <6186> unto him?

19 The workman <2796> melteth <5258> a graven <6459> image, and

the goldsmith <6884> spreadeth <7554> it over with gold <2091>,

and casteth <6884> silver <3701> chains <7569>.

20 He that [is] so impoverished <5533> that he hath no <3808>

oblation <8641> chooseth <0977> a tree <6086> [that] will not

rot <7537>; he seeketh <1245> unto him a cunning <2450> workman

<2796> to prepare <3559> a graven <6459> image, [that] shall not

be moved <4131>.

21 Have ye not known <3045>? have ye not heard <8085>? hath it

not been told <5046> you from the beginning <7218>? have ye not

understood <0995> from the foundations <4146> of the earth

<0776>?

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

earth <0776>, and the inhabitants <3427> thereof [are] as

grasshoppers <2284>; that stretcheth <5186> out the heavens

<8064> as a curtain <1852>, and spreadeth <4969> them out as a

tent <0168> to dwell <3427> in:

23 That bringeth <5414> the princes <7336> to nothing; he

maketh <6213> the judges <8199> of the earth <0776> as vanity

<8414>.

24 Yea <0637>, they shall not be planted <5193>; yea <0637>,

they shall not be sown <2232>: yea <0637>, their stock <1503>

shall not take <3947> root <8327> in the earth <0776>: and he

shall also <1571> blow <5398> upon them, and they shall wither

<3001>, and the whirlwind <5591> shall take <5375> them away as

stubble <7179>.

25 To whom <4310> then will ye liken <1819> me, or shall I be

equal <7737>? saith <0559> the Holy <6918> One.

26 Lift <5375> up your eyes <5869> on high <4791>, and behold

<7200> who <4310> hath created <1254> these <0428> [things],

that bringeth <3318> out their host <6635> by number <4557>: he

calleth <7121> them all <3605> by names <8034> by the greatness

<7230> of his might <0202>, for that [he is] strong <0533> in

power <3581>; not one <0376> faileth <5737>.

27. Why <4100> sayest <0559> thou, O Jacob <3290>, and speakest

<1696>, O Israel <3478>, My way <1870> is hid <5641> from the

LORD <3068>, and my judgment <4941> is passed <5674> over <5674>

from my God <0430>?

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

[that] the everlasting <5769> God <0430>, the LORD <3068>, the

Creator <1254> of the ends <7098> of the earth <0776>, fainteth

<3286> not, neither <3808> is weary <3021>? [there is] no <0369>

searching <2714> of his understanding <8394>.

29 He giveth <5414> power <3581> to the faint <3287>; and to

[them that have] no <0369> might <0202> he increaseth <7235>

strength <6109>.

30 Even the youths <5288> shall faint <3286> and be weary

<3021>, and the young men shall utterly fall <3782>:

31 But they that wait <6960> upon the LORD <3068> shall renew

<2498> [their] strength <3581>; they shall mount <5927> up with

wings <83> as eagles <5404>; they shall run <7323>, and not be

weary <3021>; [and] they shall walk <3212>, and not faint <3286>.

Isaiah 41

1. Keep silence <2790> before <0413> me, O islands <0339>; and

let the people <3816> renew <2498> [their] strength <3581>: let

them come <5066> near <5066>; then <0227> let them speak <1696>:

let us come <7126> near <7126> together <3162> to judgment

<4941>.

2 Who <4310> raised <5782> up the righteous <6664> [man] from

the east <4217>, called <7121> him to his foot <7272>, gave

<5414> the nations <1471> before <6440> him, and made [him] rule

<7287> over kings <4428>? he gave <5414> [them] as the dust

<6083> to his sword <2719>, [and] as driven <5086> stubble

<7179> to his bow <7198>.

3 He pursued <7291> them, [and] passed <5674> safely <7965>;

[even] by the way <0734> [that] he had not gone <0935> with his

feet <7272>.

4 Who <4310> hath wrought <6466> and done <6213> [it], calling

<7121> the generations <1755> from the beginning <7218>? I the

LORD <3068>, the first <7223>, and with the last <0314>; I [am]

he.

5 The isles <0339> saw <7200> [it], and feared <3372>; the ends

<7098> of the earth <0776> were afraid <2729>, drew near <7126>,

and came <0857>.

6 They helped <5826> every <0376> one <0376> his neighbour

<7453>; and [every <0376> one <0376>] said <0559> to his brother

<0251>, Be of good <1390> courage <2388>.

7 So the carpenter <2796> encouraged <2388> the goldsmith

<6884>, [and] he that smootheth <2505> [with] the hammer <6360>

him that smote <1986> the anvil <6471>, saying <0559>, It [is]

ready <2896> for the sodering <1694>: and he fastened <2388> it

with nails <4548>, [that] it should not be moved <4131>.

8 But thou, Israel <3478>, [art] my servant <5650>, Jacob

<3290> whom <0834> I have chosen <0977>, the seed <2233> of

Abraham <85> my friend <0157>.

9 [Thou] whom <0834> I have taken <2388> from the ends <7098>

of the earth <0776>, and called <7121> thee from the chief

<0678> men thereof, and said <0559> unto thee, Thou [art] my

servant <5650>; I have chosen <0977> thee, and not cast <3988>

thee away.

10. Fear <3372> thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed

<8159>; for I [am] thy God <0430>: I will strengthen <0553> thee;

yea <0637>, I will help <5826> thee; yea <0637>, I will uphold

<8551> thee with the right <3225> hand <3225> of my

righteousness <6664>.

11 Behold <2005>, all <3605> they that were incensed <2734>

against thee shall be ashamed <0954> and confounded <3637>: they

shall be as nothing <0369>; and they that strive <7379> with

thee shall perish <6>.

12 Thou shalt seek <1245> them, and shalt not find <4672> them,

[even] them that contended <4695> with thee: they that war

<4421> against thee shall be as nothing <0369>, and as a thing

of nought <0657>.

13 For I the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> will hold <2388> thy

right <3225> hand <3225>, saying <0559> unto thee, Fear <3372>

not; I will help <5826> thee.

14 Fear <3372> not, thou worm <8438> Jacob <3290>, [and] ye men

<4962> of Israel <3478>; I will help <5826> thee, saith <5002>

the LORD <3068>, and thy redeemer <1350>, the Holy <6918> One of

Israel <3478>.

15 Behold <2009>, I will make <7760> thee a new <2319> sharp

<2742> threshing <4173> instrument having <1167> teeth <6374>:

thou shalt thresh <1758> the mountains <2022>, and beat <1854>

[them] small <1854>, and shalt make <7760> the hills <1389> as

chaff <4671>.

16 Thou shalt fan <2219> them, and the wind <7307> shall carry

<5375> them away, and the whirlwind <5591> shall scatter <6327>

them: and thou shalt rejoice <1523> in the LORD <3068>, [and]

shalt glory <1984> in the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.

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

<4325>, and [there is] none <0369>, [and] their tongue <3956>

faileth <5405> for thirst <6772>, I the LORD <3068> will hear

<6030> them, I the God <0430> of Israel <3478> will not forsake

<5800> them.

18 I will open <6605> rivers <5103> in high <8203> places, and

fountains <4599> in the midst <8432> of the valleys <1237>: I

will make <7760> the wilderness <4057> a pool <98> of water

<4325>, and the dry <6723> land <0776> springs <4161> of water

<4325>.

19 I will plant <5414> in the wilderness <4057> the cedar

<0730>, the shittah <7848> tree <6086>, and the myrtle <1918>,

and the oil <8081> tree <6086>; I will set <7760> in the desert

<6160> the fir <1265> tree, [and] the pine <8410>, and the box

<8391> tree together <3162>:

20 That they may see <7200>, and know <3045>, and consider

<7760>, and understand <7919> together <3162>, that the hand

<3027> of the LORD <3068> hath done <6213> this <2063>, and the

Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478> hath created <1254> it.

21. Produce <7126> your cause <7379>, saith <0559> the LORD

<3068>; bring <5066> forth <5066> your strong <6110> [reasons],

saith <0559> the King <4428> of Jacob <3290>.

22 Let them bring <5066> [them] forth <5066>, and shew <5046>

us what shall happen <7136>: let them shew <5046> the former

<7223> things, what <4100> they [be], that we may consider them,

and know <3045> the latter <0319> end of them; or declare <8085>

us things for to come <0935>.

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

<0268>, that we may know <3045> that ye [are] gods <0430>: yea

<0637>, do good <1319>, or do evil <7489>, that we may be

dismayed <8159>, and behold <7200> [it] together <3162>.

24 Behold <2005>, ye [are] of nothing <0369>, and your work

<6467> of nought <0659>: an abomination <8441> [is he that]

chooseth <0977> you.

25 I have raised <5782> up [one] from the north <6828>, and he

shall come <0857>: from the rising <4217> of the sun <8121>

shall he call <7121> upon my name <8034>: and he shall come

<0935> upon princes <5461> as [upon] morter <2563>, and as the

potter <3335> treadeth <7429> clay <2916>.

26 Who <4310> hath declared <5046> from the beginning <7218>,

that we may know <3045>? and beforetime <6440>, that we may say

<0559>, [He is] righteous <6662>? yea <0637>, [there is] none

<0369> that sheweth <5046>, yea <0637>, [there is] none <0369>

that declareth <5046>, yea <0637>, [there is] none <0369> that

heareth <8085> your words <0561>.

27 The first <7223> [shall say] to Zion <6726>, Behold <2009>,

behold <2009> them: and I will give <5414> to Jerusalem <3389>

one that bringeth <1319> good <1319> tidings <1319>.

28 For I beheld <7200>, and [there was] no <0369> man <0376>;

even among them, and [there was] no <0369> counsellor <3289>,

that, when I asked <7592> of them, could answer <7725> a word

<1697>.

29 Behold <2005>, they [are] all <3605> vanity <0205>; their

works <4639> [are] nothing <0657>: their molten <5262> images

[are] wind <7307> and confusion <5414>.

Isaiah 42

1. Behold <2005> my servant <5650>, whom I uphold <8551>; mine

elect <0972>, [in whom] my soul <5315> delighteth <7521>; I have

put <5414> my spirit <7307> upon him: he shall bring <3318>

forth <3318> judgment <4941> to the Gentiles <1471>.

2 He shall not cry <6817>, nor <3808> lift <5375> up, nor

<3808> cause his voice <6963> to be heard <8085> in the street

<2351>.

3 A bruised <7533> reed <7070> shall he not break <7665>, and

the smoking <3544> flax <6594> shall he not quench <3518>: he

shall bring <3318> forth <3318> judgment <4941> unto truth

<0571>.

4 He shall not fail <3543> nor <3808> be discouraged <7533>,

till <5704> he have set <7760> judgment <4941> in the earth

<0776>: and the isles <0339> shall wait <3176> for his law

<8451>.

5. Thus <3541> saith <0559> God <0410> the LORD <3068>, he that

created <1254> the heavens <8064>, and stretched <5186> them out;

he that spread <7554> forth the earth <0776>, and that which

cometh <6631> out of it; he that giveth <5414> breath <5397>

unto the people <5971> upon it, and spirit <7307> to them that

walk <1980> therein:

6 I the LORD <3068> have called <7121> thee in righteousness

<6664>, and will hold <2388> thine hand <3027>, and will keep

<5341> thee, and give <5414> thee for a covenant <1285> of the

people <5971>, for a light <0216> of the Gentiles <1471>;

7 To open <6491> the blind <5787> eyes <5869>, to bring <3318>

out the prisoners <0616> from the prison <4525>, [and] them that

sit <3427> in darkness <2822> out of the prison <3608> house

<1004>.

8 I [am] the LORD <3068>: that [is] my name <8034>: and my

glory <3519> will I not give <5414> to another <0312>, neither

my praise <8416> to graven <6456> images.

9 Behold <2009>, the former <7223> things are come <0935> to

pass, and new <2319> things do I declare <5046>: before <2962>

they spring <6779> forth I tell <8085> you of them.

10 Sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068> a new <2319> song <7892>,

[and] his praise <8416> from the end <7097> of the earth <0776>,

ye that go <3381> down <3381> to the sea <3220>, and all <4393>

that is therein <4393>; the isles <0339>, and the inhabitants

<3427> thereof.

11 Let the wilderness <4057> and the cities <5892> thereof lift

<5375> up [their voice], the villages <2691> [that] Kedar <6938>

doth inhabit <3427>: let the inhabitants <3427> of the rock

<5553> sing <7442>, let them shout <6681> from the top <7218> of

the mountains <2022>.

12 Let them give <7760> glory <3519> unto the LORD <3068>, and

declare <5046> his praise <8416> in the islands <0339>.

13. The LORD <3068> shall go <3318> forth <3318> as a mighty

<1368> man <0376>, he shall stir <5782> up jealousy <7068> like

a man <0376> of war <4421>: he shall cry <7321>, yea <0637>,

roar <6873>; he shall prevail <1396> against <5921> his enemies

<0341>.

14 I have long <5769> time holden <2814> my peace <7814>; I

have been <1961> still <2790>, [and] refrained <0662> myself:

[now] will I cry <6463> like a travailing <3205> woman; I will

destroy <5395> and devour <7602> at <3162> once <3162>.

15 I will make <7760> waste <2717> mountains <2022> and hills

<1389>, and dry <3001> up all <3605> their herbs <6212>; and I

will make <7760> the rivers <5103> islands <0339>, and I will

dry <3001> up the pools <98>.

16 And I will bring <3212> the blind <5787> by a way <1870>

[that] they knew <3045> not; I will lead <1869> them in paths

<5410> [that] they have not known <3045>: I will make <7760>

darkness <4285> light <0216> before <6440> them, and crooked

<4625> things straight <4334>. These <0428> things <1697> will I

do <6213> unto them, and not forsake <5800> them.

17 They shall be turned <5472> back <0268>, they shall be

greatly ashamed <0954>, that trust <0982> in graven <6459>

images, that say <0559> to the molten <4541> images, Ye [are]

our gods <0430>.

18. Hear <8085>, ye deaf <2795>; and look <5027>, ye blind

<5787>, that ye may see <7200>.

19 Who <4310> [is] blind <5787>, but my servant <5650>? or deaf

<2795>, as my messenger <4397> [that] I sent <7971>? who <4310>

[is] blind <5787> as [he that is] perfect <7999>, and blind

<5787> as the LORD'S <3068> servant <5650>?

20 Seeing <7200> many <7227> things, but thou observest <8104>

not; opening <6491> the ears <0241>, but he heareth <8085> not.

21 The LORD <3068> is well <2654> pleased <2654> for his

righteousness <6664>' sake <4616>; he will magnify <1431> the

law <8451>, and make [it] honourable <0142>.

22 But this <1931> [is] a people <5971> robbed <0962> and

spoiled <8154>; [they are] all <3605> of them snared <6351> in

holes <2356>, and they are hid <2244> in prison <3608> houses

<1004>: they are for a prey <0957>, and none <0369> delivereth

<5337>; for a spoil <4933>, and none <0369> saith <0559>,

Restore <7725>.

23 Who <4310> among you will give ear <0238> to this <2063>?

[who] will hearken <7181> and hear <8085> for the time <0268> to

come?

24 Who <4310> gave <5414> Jacob <3290> for a spoil <4882>, and

Israel <3478> to the robbers <0962>? did not the LORD <3068>, he

against whom <2098> we have sinned <2398>? for they would <14>

not walk <1980> in his ways <1870>, neither <3808> were they

obedient <8085> unto his law <8451>.

25 Therefore he hath poured <8210> upon him the fury <2534> of

his anger <0639>, and the strength <5807> of battle <4421>: and

it hath set <7760> him on fire <3857> round <5439> about, yet he

knew <3045> not; and it burned <1197> him, yet he laid <7760>

[it] not to heart <3820>.

Isaiah 43

1. But now <6258> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> that

created <1254> thee, O Jacob <3290>, and he that formed <3335>

thee, O Israel <3478>, Fear <3372> not: for I have redeemed

<1350> thee, I have called <7121> [thee] by thy name <8034>;

thou [art] mine.

2 When <3588> thou passest <5674> through the waters <4325>, I

[will be] with thee; and through the rivers <5103>, they shall

not overflow <7857> thee: when <3588> thou walkest <3212>

through <1119> the fire <0784>, thou shalt not be burned <3554>;

neither <3808> shall the flame <3852> kindle <1197> upon thee.

3 For I [am] the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, the Holy <6918>

One of Israel <3478>, thy Saviour <3467>: I gave <5414> Egypt

<4714> [for] thy ransom <3724>, Ethiopia <3568> and Seba <5434>

for thee.

4 Since thou wast precious <3365> in my sight <5869>, thou hast

been honourable <3513>, and I have loved <0157> thee: therefore

will I give <5414> men <0120> for thee, and people <3816> for

thy life <5315>.

5 Fear <3372> not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring <0935>

thy seed <2233> from the east <4217>, and gather <6908> thee

from the west <4628>;

6 I will say <0559> to the north <6828>, Give <5414> up; and to

the south <8486>, Keep <3607> not back <3607>: bring <0935> my

sons <1121> from far <7350>, and my daughters <1121> from the

ends <7097> of the earth <0776>;

7 [Even] every <3605> one that is called <7121> by my name

<8034>: for I have created <1254> him for my glory <3519>, I

have formed <3335> him; yea <0637>, I have made <6213> him.

8. Bring <3318> forth <3318> the blind <5787> people <5971>

that have <3426> eyes <5869>, and the deaf <2795> that have ears

<0241>.

9 Let all <3605> the nations <1471> be gathered <6908> together

<3162>, and let the people <3816> be assembled: who <4310> among

them can declare <5046> this <2063>, and shew <8085> us former

<7223> things? let them bring <5414> forth their witnesses

<5707>, that they may be justified <6663>: or let them hear

<8085>, and say <0559>, [It is] truth <0571>.

10 Ye [are] my witnesses <5707>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>,

and my servant <5650> whom <0834> I have chosen <0977>: that ye

may know <3045> and believe <0539> me, and understand <0995>

that I [am] he: before <6440> me there was no <3808> God <0410>

formed <3335>, neither <3808> shall there be after <0310> me.

11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD <3068>; and beside <1107> me

[there is] no <0369> saviour <3467>.

12 I have declared <5046>, and have saved <3467>, and I have

shewed <8085>, when [there was] no <0369> strange <2114> [god]

among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses <5707>, saith <5002>

the LORD <3068>, that I [am] God <0410>.

13 Yea <1571>, before the day <3117> [was] I [am] he; and

[there is] none <0369> that can deliver <5337> out of my hand

<3027>: I will work <6466>, and who <4310> shall let <7725> it?

14. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, your redeemer

<1350>, the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>; For your sake

<4616> I have sent <7971> to Babylon <0894>, and have brought

<3381> down <3381> all <3605> their nobles <1281>, and the

Chaldeans <3778>, whose cry <7440> [is] in the ships <0591>.

15 I [am] the LORD <3068>, your Holy <6918> One, the creator

<1254> of Israel <3478>, your King <4428>.

16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, which maketh

<5414> a way <1870> in the sea <3220>, and a path <5410> in the

mighty <5794> waters <4325>;

17 Which bringeth <3318> forth <4161> the chariot <7393> and

horse <5483>, the army <2428> and the power <5808>; they shall

lie <7901> down <3381> together <3162>, they shall not rise

<6965>: they are extinct <1846>, they are quenched <3518> as tow

<6594>.

18 Remember <2142> ye not the former <7223> things, neither

<0408> consider <0995> the things of old <6931>.

19 Behold <2005>, I will do <6213> a new <2319> thing; now

<6258> it shall spring <6779> forth <6779>; shall ye not know

<3045> it? I will even <0637> make <7760> a way <1870> in the

wilderness <4057>, [and] rivers <5103> in the desert <3452>.

20 The beast <2416> of the field <7704> shall honour <3513> me,

the dragons <8577> and the owls: because <3588> I give <5414>

waters <4325> in the wilderness <4057>, [and] rivers <5103> in

the desert <3452>, to give drink <8248> to my people <5971>, my

chosen <0972>.

21 This <2098> people <5971> have I formed <3335> for myself;

they shall shew <5608> forth my praise <8416>.

22. But thou hast not called <7121> upon me, O Jacob <3290>;

but thou hast been weary <3021> of me, O Israel <3478>.

23 Thou hast not brought <0935> me the small cattle <7716> of

thy burnt <5930> offerings; neither <3808> hast thou honoured

<3513> me with thy sacrifices <2077>. I have not caused thee to

serve <5647> with an offering <4503>, nor <3808> wearied <3021>

thee with incense <3828>.

24 Thou hast bought <7069> me no <3808> sweet cane <7070> with

money <3701>, neither <3808> hast thou filled <7301> me with the

fat <2459> of thy sacrifices <2077>: but thou hast made me to

serve <5647> with thy sins <2403>, thou hast wearied <3021> me

with thine iniquities <5771>.

25 I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth <4229> out thy

transgressions <6588> for mine own sake <4616>, and will not

remember <2142> thy sins <2403>.

26 Put me in remembrance <2142>: let us plead <8199> together

<3162>: declare <5608> thou, that thou mayest be justified

<6663>.

27 Thy first <7223> father <1> hath sinned <2398>, and thy

teachers <3887> have transgressed <6586> against me.

28 Therefore I have profaned <2490> the princes <8269> of the

sanctuary <6944>, and have given <5414> Jacob <3290> to the

curse <2764>, and Israel <3478> to reproaches <1421>.

Isaiah 44

1. Yet now <6258> hear <8085>, O Jacob <3290> my servant <5650>;

and Israel <3478>, whom I have chosen <0977>:

2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> that made <6213>

thee, and formed <3335> thee from the womb <0990>, [which] will

help <5826> thee; Fear <3372> not, O Jacob <3290>, my servant

<5650>; and thou, Jesurun <3484>, whom I have chosen <0977>.

3 For I will pour <3332> water <4325> upon him that is thirsty

<6771>, and floods <5140> upon the dry <3004> ground: I will

pour <3332> my spirit <7307> upon thy seed <2233>, and my

blessing <1293> upon thine offspring <6631>:

4 And they shall spring <6779> up [as] among <0996> the grass

<2682>, as willows <6155> by the water <4325> courses <2988>.

5 One shall say <0559>, I [am] the LORD'S <3068>; and another

<2088> shall call <7121> [himself] by the name <8034> of Jacob

<3290>; and another <2088> shall subscribe <3789> [with] his

hand <3027> unto the LORD <3068>, and surname <3655> [himself]

by the name <8034> of Israel <3478>.

6 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> the King <4428> of

Israel <3478>, and his redeemer <1350> the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>; I [am] the first <7223>, and I [am] the last <0314>; and

beside <1107> me [there is] no <0369> God <0430>.

7 And who <4310>, as I, shall call <7121>, and shall declare

<5046> it, and set it in order <6186> for me, since I appointed

<7760> the ancient <5769> people <5971>? and the things that are

coming <0857>, and shall come <0935>, let them shew <5046> unto

them.

8 Fear <6342> ye not, neither <0408> be afraid <7297>: have not

I told <8085> thee from that time <0227>, and have declared

<5046> [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses <5707>. Is there a God

<0433> beside <1107> me? yea, [there is] no <0369> God <6697>; I

know <3045> not [any].

9. They that make <3335> a graven <6459> image [are] all <3605>

of them vanity <8414>; and their delectable <2530> things shall

not profit <3276>; and they [are] their own witnesses <5707>;

they see <7200> not, nor <1077> know <3045>; that they may be

ashamed <0954>.

10 Who <4310> hath formed <3335> a god <0410>, or molten <5258>

a graven <6459> image [that] is profitable <3276> for nothing

<1115>?

11 Behold <2005>, all <3605> his fellows <2270> shall be

ashamed <0954>: and the workmen <2796>, they [are] of men <0120>:

let them all <3605> be gathered <6908> together, let them stand

<5975> up; [yet] they shall fear <6342>, [and] they shall be

ashamed <0954> together <3162>.

12 The smith with the tongs <4621> both worketh <6466> in the

coals <6352>, and fashioneth <3335> it with hammers <4717>, and

worketh <6466> it with the strength <3581> of his arms <2220>:

yea <1571>, he is hungry <7456>, and his strength <3581> faileth

<0369>: he drinketh <8354> no <3808> water <4325>, and is faint

<3286>.

13 The carpenter <2796> stretcheth <5186> out [his] rule <4910>;

he marketh <8388> it out with a line <8279>; he fitteth <6213>

it with planes <4741>, and he marketh <8388> it out with the

compass <4230>, and maketh <6213> it after the figure <8403> of

a man <0376>, according to the beauty <8597> of a man <0120>;

that it may remain <3427> in the house <1004>.

14 He heweth <3772> him down cedars <0730>, and taketh <3947>

the cypress <8645> and the oak <0437>, which he strengtheneth

<0553> for himself among the trees <6086> of the forest <3293>:

he planteth <5192> an ash <0766>, and the rain <1653> doth

nourish <1431> [it].

15 Then shall it be for a man <0120> to burn <1197>: for he

will take <3947> thereof, and warm <2552> himself; yea <0637>,

he kindleth <5400> [it], and baketh <0644> bread <3899>; yea

<0637>, he maketh <6466> a god <0410>, and worshippeth <7812>

[it]; he maketh <6213> it a graven <6459> image, and falleth

<5456> down <5456> thereto.

16 He burneth <8313> part <2677> thereof in the fire <0784>;

with part <2677> thereof he eateth <0398> flesh <1320>; he

roasteth <0740> roast <6748>, and is satisfied <7646>: yea

<0637>, he warmeth <2552> [himself], and saith <0559>, Aha

<0253>, I am warm <2552>, I have seen <7200> the fire <0217>:

17 And the residue <7611> thereof he maketh <6213> a god <0410>,

[even] his graven <6459> image: he falleth <5456> down <5456>

unto it, and worshippeth <7812> [it], and prayeth <6419> unto it,

and saith <0559>, Deliver <5337> me; for thou [art] my god

<0410>.

18 They have not known <3045> nor understood <0995>: for he

hath shut <2902> their eyes <5869>, that they cannot see <7200>;

[and] their hearts <3826>, that they cannot understand <7919>.

19 And none <3808> considereth <7725> in his heart <3820>,

neither <3808> [is there] knowledge <1847> nor <3808>

understanding <8394> to say <0559>, I have burned <8314> part

<2677> of it in the fire <0784>; yea <0637>, also <0637> I have

baked <0644> bread <3899> upon the coals <1513> thereof; I have

roasted <6740> flesh <1320>, and eaten <0398> [it]: and shall I

make <6213> the residue <3499> thereof an abomination <8441>?

shall I fall <5456> down <5456> to the stock <0944> of a tree

<6086>?

20 He feedeth <7462> on ashes <0665>: a deceived <2048> heart

<3820> hath turned <5186> him aside <5186>, that he cannot

<3808> deliver <5337> his soul <5315>, nor <3808> say <0559>,

[Is there] not a lie <3576> in my right <3225> hand <3225>?

21. Remember <2142> these <0428>, O Jacob <3290> and Israel

<3478>; for thou [art] my servant <5650>: I have formed <3335>

thee; thou [art] my servant <5650>: O Israel <3478>, thou shalt

not be forgotten <5382> of me.

22 I have blotted <4229> out, as a thick cloud <5645>, thy

transgressions <6588>, and, as a cloud <6051>, thy sins <2403>:

return <7725> unto me; for I have redeemed <1350> thee.

23 Sing <7442>, O ye heavens <8064>; for the LORD <3068> hath

done <6213> [it]: shout <7321>, ye lower <8482> parts of the

earth <0776>: break <6476> forth into singing <7440>, ye

mountains <2022>, O forest <3293>, and every <3605> tree <6086>

therein: for the LORD <3068> hath redeemed <1350> Jacob <3290>,

and glorified <6286> himself in Israel <3478>.

24 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, thy redeemer

<1350>, and he that formed <3335> thee from the womb <0990>, I

[am] the LORD <3068> that maketh <6213> all <3605> [things];

that stretcheth <5186> forth the heavens <8064> alone <0905>;

that spreadeth <7554> abroad <7554> the earth <0776> by myself;

25 That frustrateth <6565> the tokens <0226> of the liars

<0907>, and maketh diviners <7080> mad <1984>; that turneth

<7725> wise <2450> [men] backward <0268>, and maketh their

knowledge <1847> foolish <5528>;

26 That confirmeth <6965> the word <1697> of his servant <5650>,

and performeth <7999> the counsel <6098> of his messengers

<4397>; that saith <0559> to Jerusalem <3389>, Thou shalt be

inhabited <3427>; and to the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, Ye

shall be built <1129>, and I will raise <6965> up the decayed

<2723> places thereof:

27 That saith <0559> to the deep <6683>, Be dry <2717>, and I

will dry <3001> up thy rivers <5103>:

28 That saith <0559> of Cyrus <3566>, [He is] my shepherd

<7462>, and shall perform <7999> all <3605> my pleasure <2656>:

even saying <0559> to Jerusalem <3389>, Thou shalt be built

<1129>; and to the temple <1964>, Thy foundation <3245> shall be

laid.

Isaiah 45

1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> to his anointed

<4899>, to Cyrus <3566>, whose <0834> right <3225> hand <3225> I

have holden <2388>, to subdue <7286> nations <1471> before

<6440> him; and I will loose <6605> the loins <4975> of kings

<4428>, to open <6605> before <6440> him the two leaved <1817>

gates <1817>; and the gates <8179> shall not be shut <5462>;

2 I will go <3212> before <6440> thee, and make the crooked

<1921> places straight <3474>: I will break <7665> in pieces the

gates <1817> of brass <5154>, and cut <1438> in sunder the bars

<1280> of iron <1270>:

3 And I will give <5414> thee the treasures <0214> of darkness

<2822>, and hidden <4301> riches <4301> of secret <4565> places,

that thou mayest know <3045> that I, the LORD <3068>, which call

<7121> [thee] by thy name <8034>, [am] the God <0430> of Israel

<3478>.

4 For Jacob <3290> my servant's <5650> sake <4616>, and Israel

<3478> mine elect <0972>, I have even called <7121> thee by thy

name <8034>: I have surnamed <3655> thee, though thou hast not

known <3045> me.

5. I [am] the LORD <3068>, and [there is] none <0369> else

<5750>, [there is] no <0369> God <0430> beside <2108> me: I

girded <0247> thee, though thou hast not known <3045> me:

6 That they may know <3045> from the rising <4217> of the sun

<8121>, and from the west <4628>, that [there is] none <0657>

beside <1107> me. I [am] the LORD <3068>, and [there is] none

<0369> else <5750>.

7 I form <3335> the light <0216>, and create <1254> darkness

<2822>: I make <6213> peace <7965>, and create <1254> evil

<7451>: I the LORD <3068> do <6213> all these <0428> [things].

8 Drop <7491> down, ye heavens <8064>, from above <4605>, and

let the skies <7834> pour <5140> down righteousness <6664>: let

the earth <0776> open <6605>, and let them bring <6509> forth

<6509> salvation <3468>, and let righteousness <6666> spring

<6779> up together <3162>; I the LORD <3068> have created <1254>

it.

9 Woe <1945> unto him that striveth <7378> with his Maker

<3335>! [Let] the potsherd <2789> [strive] with the potsherds

<2789> of the earth <0127>. Shall the clay <2563> say <0559> to

him that fashioneth <3335> it, What <4100> makest <6213> thou?

or thy work <6467>, He hath no <0369> hands <3027>?

10 Woe <1945> unto him that saith <0559> unto [his] father <1>,

What <4100> begettest <3205> thou? or to the woman <0802>, What

<4100> hast thou brought <2342> forth <2342>?

11. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the Holy <6918>

One of Israel <3478>, and his Maker <3335>, Ask <7592> me of

things to come <0857> concerning <5921> my sons <1121>, and

concerning <5921> the work <6467> of my hands <3027> command

<6680> ye me.

12 I have made <6213> the earth <0776>, and created <1254> man

<0120> upon it: I, [even] my hands <3027>, have stretched <5186>

out the heavens <8064>, and all <3605> their host <6635> have I

commanded <6680>.

13 I have raised <5782> him up in righteousness <6664>, and I

will direct <3474> all <3605> his ways <1870>: he shall build

<1129> my city <5892>, and he shall let go <7971> my captives

<1546>, not for price <4242> nor <3808> reward <7810>, saith

<0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

14 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, The labour <3018>

of Egypt <4714>, and merchandise <5505> of Ethiopia <3568> and

of the Sabeans <5436>, men <0582> of stature <4060>, shall come

<5674> over <5674> unto thee, and they shall be thine: they

shall come <3212> after <0310> thee; in chains <2131> they shall

come <5674> over <5674>, and they shall fall <7812> down <7812>

unto thee, they shall make supplication <6419> unto thee,

[saying], Surely <0389> God <0410> [is] in thee; and [there is]

none <0369> else <5750>, [there is] no <0657> God <0430>.

15 Verily <0403> thou [art] a God <0410> that hidest <5641>

thyself, O God <0430> of Israel <3478>, the Saviour <3467>.

16 They shall be ashamed <0954>, and also <1571> confounded

<3637>, all <3605> of them: they shall go <1980> to confusion

<3639> together <3162> [that are] makers <2796> of idols <6736>.

17 [But] Israel <3478> shall be saved <3467> in the LORD <3068>

with an everlasting <5769> salvation <8668>: ye shall not be

ashamed <0954> nor <3808> confounded <3637> world <5769> without

end.

18 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> that created

<1254> the heavens <8064>; God <0430> himself <1931> that formed

<3335> the earth <0776> and made <6213> it; he hath established

<3559> it, he created <1254> it not in vain <8414>, he formed

<3335> it to be inhabited <3427>: I [am] the LORD <3068>; and

[there is] none <0369> else <5750>.

19 I have not spoken <1696> in secret <5643>, in a dark <2822>

place <4725> of the earth <0776>: I said <0559> not unto the

seed <2233> of Jacob <3290>, Seek <1245> ye me in vain <8414>: I

the LORD <3068> speak <1696> righteousness <6664>, I declare

<5046> things that are right <4339>.

20. Assemble <6908> yourselves and come <0935>; draw near

<5066> together <3162>, ye [that are] escaped <6412> of the

nations <1471>: they have no <3808> knowledge <3045> that set

<5375> up the wood <6086> of their graven <6459> image, and pray

<6419> unto a god <0410> [that] cannot <3808> save <3467>.

21 Tell <5046> ye, and bring <5066> [them] near <5066>; yea

<0637>, let them take counsel <3289> together <3162>: who <4310>

hath declared <5046> this <2063> from ancient <6924> time? [who]

hath told <5046> it from that time <0227>? [have] not I the LORD

<3068>? and [there is] no <0369> God <0430> else <5750> beside

<1107> me; a just <6662> God <0410> and a Saviour <3467>; [there

is] none <0369> beside <2108> me.

22 Look <6437> unto me, and be ye saved <3467>, all the ends

<0657> of the earth <0776>: for I [am] God <0410>, and [there

is] none <0369> else <5750>.

23 I have sworn <7650> by myself, the word <1697> is gone

<3318> out of my mouth <6310> [in] righteousness <6666>, and

shall not return <7725>, That unto me every <3605> knee <1290>

shall bow <3766>, every <3605> tongue <3956> shall swear <7650>.

24 Surely, shall [one] say <0559>, in the LORD <3068> have I

righteousness <6666> and strength <5797>: [even] to him shall

[men] come <0935>; and all <3605> that are incensed <2734>

against him shall be ashamed <0954>.

25 In the LORD <3068> shall all <3605> the seed <2233> of

Israel <3478> be justified <6663>, and shall glory <1984>.

Isaiah 46

1. Bel <1078> boweth <3766> down <3766>, Nebo <5015> stoopeth

<7164>, their idols <6091> were upon the beasts <2416>, and upon

the cattle <0929>: your carriages <5385> [were] heavy loaden

<6006>; [they are] a burden <4853> to the weary <5889> [beast].

2 They stoop <7164>, they bow <3766> down <3766> together

<3162>; they could <3201> not deliver <4422> the burden <4853>,

but themselves <5315> are gone <1980> into captivity <7628>.

3 Hearken <8085> unto me, O house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, and

all <3605> the remnant <7611> of the house <1004> of Israel

<3478>, which are borne <6006> [by me] from the belly <0990>,

which are carried <5375> from the womb <7356>:

4 And [even] to [your] old <2209> age <2209> I [am] he; and

[even] to hoar <7872> hairs will I carry <5445> [you]: I have

made <6213>, and I will bear <5375>; even I will carry <5445>,

and will deliver <4422> [you].

5. To whom <4310> will ye liken <1819> me, and make [me] equal

<7737>, and compare <4911> me, that we may be like <1819>?

6 They lavish <2107> gold <2091> out of the bag <3599>, and

weigh <8254> silver <3701> in the balance <7070>, [and] hire

<7936> a goldsmith <6884>; and he maketh <6213> it a god <0410>:

they fall <5456> down <5456>, yea <0637>, they worship <7812>.

7 They bear <5375> him upon the shoulder <3802>, they carry

<5445> him, and set <3240> him in his place <8478>, and he

standeth <5975>; from his place <4725> shall he not remove

<4185>: yea <0637>, [one] shall cry <6817> unto him, yet can he

not answer <6030>, nor <3808> save <3467> him out of his trouble

<6869>.

8 Remember <2142> this <2063>, and shew yourselves men <0376>:

bring <7725> [it] again <7725> to mind <3820>, O ye

transgressors <6586>.

9 Remember <2142> the former <7223> things of old <5769>: for I

[am] God <0410>, and [there is] none <0369> else <5750>; [I am]

God <0430>, and [there is] none <0657> like <3644> me,

10 Declaring <5046> the end <0319> from the beginning <7225>,

and from ancient <6924> times [the things] that are not [yet]

done <6213>, saying <0559>, My counsel <6098> shall stand <6965>,

and I will do <6213> all <3605> my pleasure <2656>:

11 Calling <7121> a ravenous <5861> bird <5861> from the east

<4217>, the man <0376> that executeth my counsel <6098> from a

far <4801> country <0776>: yea <0637>, I have spoken <1696> [it],

I will also <0637> bring <0935> it to pass; I have purposed

<3335> [it], I will also <0637> do <6213> it.

12 Hearken <8085> unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far

<7350> from righteousness <6666>:

13 I bring <7126> near <7126> my righteousness <6666>; it shall

not be far <7368> off, and my salvation <8668> shall not tarry

<0309>: and I will place <5414> salvation <8668> in Zion <6726>

for Israel <3478> my glory <8597>.

Isaiah 47

1. Come <3381> down <3381>, and sit <3427> in the dust <6083>,

O virgin <1330> daughter <1323> of Babylon <0894>, sit <3427> on

<5921> the ground <0776>: [there is] no <0369> throne <3678>, O

daughter <1323> of the Chaldeans <3778>: for thou shalt no

<3808> more <3254> be called <7121> tender <7390> and delicate

<6028>.

2 Take <3947> the millstones <7347>, and grind <2912> meal

<7058>: uncover <1540> thy locks <6777>, make bare <2834> the

leg <7640>, uncover <1540> the thigh <7785>, pass <5674> over

<5674> the rivers <5103>.

3 Thy nakedness <6172> shall be uncovered <1540>, yea <1571>,

thy shame <2781> shall be seen <7200>: I will take <3947>

vengeance <5359>, and I will not meet <6293> [thee as] a man

<0120>.

4 [As for] our redeemer <1350>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>

[is] his name <8034>, the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.

5 Sit <3427> thou silent <1748>, and get <0935> thee into

darkness <2822>, O daughter <1323> of the Chaldeans <3778>: for

thou shalt no <3808> more <3254> be called <7121>, The lady

<1404> of kingdoms <4467>.

6 I was wroth <7107> with my people <5971>, I have polluted

<2490> mine inheritance <5159>, and given <5414> them into thine

hand <3027>: thou didst shew <7760> them no <3808> mercy <7356>;

upon the ancient <2204> hast thou very <3966> heavily <3513>

laid thy yoke <5923>.

7. And thou saidst <0559>, I shall be a lady <1404> for ever

<5769>: [so <5704>] that thou didst not lay <7760> these <0428>

[things] to thy heart <3820>, neither <3808> didst remember

<2142> the latter <0319> end of it.

8 Therefore hear <8085> now <6258> this <2063>, [thou that art]

given to pleasures <5719>, that dwellest <3427> carelessly

<0983>, that sayest <0559> in thine heart <3824>, I [am], and

none <0657> else <5750> beside <0657> me; I shall not sit <3427>

[as] a widow <0490>, neither <3808> shall I know <3045> the loss

<7921> of children:

9 But these <0428> two <8147> [things] shall come <0935> to

thee in a moment <7281> in one <0259> day <3117>, the loss

<7921> of children, and widowhood <0489>: they shall come <0935>

upon thee in their perfection <8537> for the multitude <7230> of

thy sorceries <3785>, [and] for the great <3966> abundance

<6109> of thine enchantments <2267>.

10 For thou hast trusted <0982> in thy wickedness <7451>: thou

hast said <0559>, None <0369> seeth <7200> me. Thy wisdom <2451>

and thy knowledge <1847>, it hath perverted <7725> thee; and

thou hast said <0559> in thine heart <3820>, I [am], and none

<0657> else <5750> beside <0657> me.

11 Therefore shall evil <7451> come <0935> upon thee; thou

shalt not know <3045> from whence <0370> it riseth <7837>: and

mischief <1943> shall fall <5307> upon thee; thou shalt not be

able <3201> to put <3722> it off: and desolation <7722> shall

come <0935> upon thee suddenly <6597>, [which] thou shalt not

know <3045>.

12 Stand <5975> now <4994> with thine enchantments <2267>, and

with the multitude <7230> of thy sorceries <3785>, wherein

<0834> thou hast laboured <3021> from thy youth <5271>; if

<0194> so be thou shalt be able <3201> to profit <3276>, if

<0194> so be thou mayest prevail <6206>.

13 Thou art wearied <3811> in the multitude <7230> of thy

counsels <6098>. Let now <4994> the astrologers <1895>, the

stargazers, the monthly <2320> prognosticators <3045>, stand

<5975> up, and save <3467> thee from [these things] that shall

come <0935> upon thee.

14 Behold <2009>, they shall be as stubble <7179>; the fire

<0784> shall burn <8313> them; they shall not deliver <5337>

themselves <5315> from the power <3027> of the flame <3852>:

[there shall] not [be] a coal <1513> to warm <2552> at, [nor]

fire <0217> to sit <3427> before <5048> it.

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

hast laboured <3021>, [even] thy merchants <5503>, from thy

youth <5271>: they shall wander <8582> every <0376> one <0376>

to his quarter <5676>; none <0369> shall save <3467> thee.

Isaiah 48

1. Hear <8085> ye this <2063>, O house <1004> of Jacob <3290>,

which are called <7121> by the name <8034> of Israel <3478>, and

are come <3318> forth <3318> out of the waters <4325> of Judah

<3063>, which swear <7650> by the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>,

and make mention <2142> of the God <0430> of Israel <3478>,

[but] not in truth <0571>, nor <3808> in righteousness <6666>.

2 For they call <7121> themselves of the holy <6944> city

<5892>, and stay <5564> themselves upon the God <0430> of Israel

<3478>; The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>.

3 I have declared <5046> the former <7223> things from the

beginning <0227>; and they went <3318> forth <3318> out of my

mouth <6310>, and I shewed <8085> them; I did <6213> [them]

suddenly <6597>, and they came <0935> to pass.

4 Because I knew <1847> that thou [art] obstinate <7186>, and

thy neck <6203> [is] an iron <1270> sinew <1517>, and thy brow

<4696> brass <5154>;

5 I have even from the beginning <0227> declared <5046> [it] to

thee; before <2962> it came <0935> to pass I shewed <8085> [it]

thee: lest <6435> thou shouldest say <0559>, Mine idol <6090>

hath done <6213> them, and my graven <6459> image, and my molten

<5262> image, hath commanded <6680> them.

6 Thou hast heard <8085>, see <2372> all <3605> this; and will

not ye declare <5046> [it]? I have shewed <8085> thee new <2319>

things from this time <6258>, even hidden <5341> things, and

thou didst not know <3045> them.

7 They are created <1254> now <6258>, and not from the

beginning <0227>; even before <6440> the day <3117> when thou

heardest <8085> them not; lest <6435> thou shouldest say <0559>,

Behold <2009>, I knew <3045> them.

8 Yea <1571>, thou heardest <8085> not; yea <1571>, thou

knewest <3045> not; yea <1571>, from that time <0227> [that]

thine ear <0241> was not opened <6605>: for I knew <3045> that

thou wouldest deal very <0898> treacherously <0898>, and wast

called <7121> a transgressor <6586> from the womb <0990>.

9. For my name's <8034> sake <4616> will I defer <0748> mine

anger <0639>, and for my praise <8416> will I refrain <2413> for

thee, that I cut <3772> thee not off.

10 Behold <2009>, I have refined <6884> thee, but not with

silver <3701>; I have chosen <0977> thee in the furnace <3564>

of affliction <6040>.

11 For mine own sake <4616>, [even] for mine own sake <4616>,

will I do <6213> [it]: for how <0349> should [my name] be

polluted <2490>? and I will not give <5414> my glory <3519> unto

another <0312>.

12 Hearken <8085> unto me, O Jacob <3290> and Israel <3478>, my

called <7121>; I [am] he; I [am] the first <7223>, I also <0637>

[am] the last <0314>.

13 Mine hand <3027> also <0637> hath laid the foundation <3245>

of the earth <0776>, and my right <3225> hand <3225> hath

spanned <2946> the heavens <8064>: [when] I call <7121> unto

them, they stand <5975> up together <3162>.

14 All <3605> ye, assemble <6908> yourselves, and hear <8085>;

which <4310> among them hath declared <5046> these <0428>

[things]? The LORD <3068> hath loved <0157> him: he will do

<6213> his pleasure <2656> on Babylon <0894>, and his arm <2220>

[shall be on] the Chaldeans <3778>.

15 I, [even] I, have spoken <1696>; yea <0637>, I have called

<7121> him: I have brought <0935> him, and he shall make his way

<1870> prosperous <6743>.

16. Come <7126> ye near <7126> unto me, hear <8085> ye this

<2063>; I have not spoken <1696> in secret <5643> from the

beginning <7218>; from the time <6256> that it was, there <8033>

[am] I: and now <6258> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, and his

Spirit <7307>, hath sent <7971> me.

17 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, thy Redeemer

<1350>, the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>; I [am] the LORD

<3068> thy God <0430> which teacheth <3925> thee to profit

<3276>, which leadeth <1869> thee by the way <1870> [that] thou

shouldest go <3212>.

18 O that thou hadst hearkened <7181> to my commandments <4687>!

then had thy peace <7965> been <1961> as a river <5104>, and

thy righteousness <6666> as the waves <1530> of the sea <3220>:

19 Thy seed <2233> also had been <1961> as the sand <2344>, and

the offspring <6631> of thy bowels <4578> like the gravel <4579>

thereof; his name <8034> should not have been cut <3772> off nor

<3808> destroyed <8045> from before <6440> me.

20 Go <3318> ye forth <3318> of Babylon <0894>, flee <1272> ye

from the Chaldeans <3778>, with a voice <6963> of singing <7440>

declare <5046> ye, tell <8085> this <2063>, utter <3318> it

[even] to the end <7097> of the earth <0776>; say <0559> ye, The

LORD <3068> hath redeemed <1350> his servant <5650> Jacob <3290>.

21 And they thirsted <6770> not [when] he led <3212> them

through the deserts <2723>: he caused the waters <4325> to flow

<5140> out of the rock <6697> for them: he clave <1234> the rock

<6697> also, and the waters <4325> gushed <2100> out.

22 [There is] no <0369> peace <7965>, saith <0559> the LORD

<3068>, unto the wicked <7563>.

Isaiah 49

1. Listen <8085>, O isles <0339>, unto me; and hearken <7181>,

ye people <3816>, from far <7350>; The LORD <3068> hath called

<7121> me from the womb <0990>; from the bowels <4578> of my

mother <0517> hath he made mention <2142> of my name <8034>.

2 And he hath made <7760> my mouth <6310> like a sharp <2299>

sword <2719>; in the shadow <6738> of his hand <3027> hath he

hid <2244> me, and made <7760> me a polished <1305> shaft <2671>;

in his quiver <0827> hath he hid <5641> me;

3 And said <0559> unto me, Thou [art] my servant <5650>, O

Israel <3478>, in whom <0834> I will be glorified <6286>.

4 Then I said <0559>, I have laboured <3021> in vain <7385>, I

have spent <3615> my strength <3581> for nought <8414>, and in

vain <1892>: [yet] surely <0403> my judgment <4941> [is] with

the LORD <3068>, and my work <6468> with my God <0430>.

5 And now <6258>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068> that formed

<3335> me from the womb <0990> [to be] his servant <5650>, to

bring <7725> Jacob <3290> again <7725> to him, Though Israel

<3478> be not gathered <0622>, yet shall I be glorious <3513> in

the eyes <5869> of the LORD <3068>, and my God <0430> shall be

my strength <5797>.

6 And he said <0559>, It is a light <7043> thing that thou

shouldest be my servant <5650> to raise <6965> up the tribes

<7626> of Jacob <3290>, and to restore <7725> the preserved

<5336> of Israel <3478>: I will also give <5414> thee for a

light <0216> to the Gentiles <1471>, that thou mayest be my

salvation <3444> unto the end <7097> of the earth <0776>.

7. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the Redeemer

<1350> of Israel <3478>, [and] his Holy <6918> One, to him whom

man <5315> despiseth <0960>, to him whom the nation <1471>

abhorreth <8581>, to a servant <5650> of rulers <4910>, Kings

<4428> shall see <7200> and arise <6965>, princes <8269> also

shall worship <7812>, because <4616> of the LORD <3068> that is

faithful <0539>, [and] the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>, and

he shall choose <0977> thee.

8 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, In an acceptable

<7522> time <6256> have I heard <6030> thee, and in a day <3117>

of salvation <3444> have I helped <5826> thee: and I will

preserve <5341> thee, and give <5414> thee for a covenant <1285>

of the people <5971>, to establish <6965> the earth <0776>, to

cause to inherit <5157> the desolate <8076> heritages <5159>;

9 That thou mayest say <0559> to the prisoners <0631>, Go

<3318> forth <3318>; to them that [are] in darkness <2822>, Shew

<1540> yourselves. They shall feed <7462> in the ways <1870>,

and their pastures <4830> [shall be] in all <3605> high <8203>

places.

10 They shall not hunger <7456> nor <3808> thirst <6770>;

neither <3808> shall the heat <8273> nor <3808> sun <8121> smite

<5221> them: for he that hath mercy <7355> on them shall lead

<5090> them, even by the springs <4002> of water <4325> shall he

guide <5095> them.

11 And I will make <7760> all <3605> my mountains <2022> a way

<1870>, and my highways <4546> shall be exalted <7311>.

12 Behold <2009>, these <0428> shall come <0935> from far

<7350>: and, lo <2009>, these <0428> from the north <6828> and

from the west <3220>; and these <0428> from the land <0776> of

Sinim <5515>.

13. Sing <7442>, O heavens <8064>; and be joyful <1523>, O

earth <0776>; and break <6476> forth into singing <7440>, O

mountains <2022>: for the LORD <3068> hath comforted <5162> his

people <5971>, and will have mercy <7355> upon his afflicted

<6041>.

14 But Zion <6726> said <0559>, The LORD <3068> hath forsaken

<5800> me, and my Lord <0136> hath forgotten <7913> me.

15 Can a woman <0802> forget <7911> her sucking <5764> child,

that she should not have compassion <7355> on the son <1121> of

her womb <0990>? yea <1571>, they may forget <7911>, yet will I

not forget <7911> thee.

16 Behold <2005>, I have graven <2710> thee upon the palms

<3709> of [my] hands <3709>; thy walls <2346> [are] continually

<8548> before <5048> me.

17 Thy children <1121> shall make haste <4116>; thy destroyers

<2040> and they that made thee waste <2717> shall go <3318>

forth <3318> of thee.

18. Lift <5375> up thine eyes <5869> round <5439> about, and

behold <7200>: all <3605> these gather <6908> themselves

together, [and] come <0935> to thee. [As] I live <2416>, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068>, thou shalt surely <3588> clothe <3847>

thee with them all <3605>, as with an ornament <5716>, and bind

<7194> them [on thee], as a bride <3618> [doeth].

19 For thy waste <2723> and thy desolate <8074> places, and the

land <0776> of thy destruction <2035>, shall even <3588> now

<6258> be too narrow <3334> by reason of the inhabitants <3427>,

and they that swallowed <1104> thee up shall be far <7368> away.

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

lost <7923> the other, shall say <0559> again <5750> in thine

ears <0241>, The place <4725> [is] too strait <6862> for me:

give <5066> place <4725> to me that I may dwell <3427>.

21 Then shalt thou say <0559> in thine heart <3824>, Who <4310>

hath begotten <3205> me these <0428>, seeing I have lost <7908>

my children, and am desolate <1565>, a captive <1473>, and

removing <5493> to and fro? and who <4310> hath brought <1431>

up these <2007>? Behold <2005>, I was left <7604> alone <0905>;

these <0428>, where <0375> [had] they [been]?

22 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, Behold

<2009>, I will lift <5375> up mine hand <3027> to the Gentiles

<1471>, and set <7311> up my standard <5251> to the people

<5971>: and they shall bring <0935> thy sons <1121> in [their]

arms <2684>, and thy daughters <1121> shall be carried <5375>

upon [their] shoulders <3802>.

23 And kings <4428> shall be thy nursing <0539> fathers, and

their queens <8282> thy nursing <3243> mothers: they shall bow

<7812> down <7812> to thee with [their] face <0639> toward the

earth <0776>, and lick <3897> up the dust <6083> of thy feet

<7272>; and thou shalt know <3045> that I [am] the LORD <3068>:

for they shall not be ashamed <0954> that wait <6960> for me.

24. Shall the prey <4455> be taken <3947> from the mighty

<1368>, or the lawful <6662> captive <7628> delivered <4422>?

25 But thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Even <1571>

the captives <7628> of the mighty <1368> shall be taken <3947>

away, and the prey <4455> of the terrible <6184> shall be

delivered <4422>: for I will contend <7378> with him that

contendeth <3401> with thee, and I will save <3467> thy children

<1121>.

26 And I will feed <0398> them that oppress <3238> thee with

their own flesh <1320>; and they shall be drunken <7937> with

their own blood <1818>, as with sweet <6071> wine <6071>: and

all <3605> flesh <1320> shall know <3045> that I the LORD <3068>

[am] thy Saviour <3467> and thy Redeemer <1350>, the mighty <46>

One of Jacob <3290>.

Isaiah 50

1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Where <0335> [is]

the bill <5612> of your mother's <0517> divorcement <3748>, whom

<0834> I have put <7971> away? or <0176> which <4310> of my

creditors <5383> [is it] to whom <0834> I have sold <4376> you?

Behold <2005>, for your iniquities <5771> have ye sold <4376>

yourselves, and for your transgressions <6588> is your mother

<0517> put <7971> away.

2 Wherefore <4069>, when I came <0935>, [was there] no <0369>

man <0376>? when I called <7121>, [was there] none <0369> to

answer <6030>? Is my hand <3027> shortened <7114> at all, that

it cannot redeem <6304>? or have I no <0369> power <3581> to

deliver <5337>? behold <2005>, at my rebuke <1606> I dry <2717>

up the sea <3220>, I make <7760> the rivers <5103> a wilderness

<4057>: their fish <1710> stinketh <0887>, because [there is] no

<0369> water <4325>, and dieth <4191> for thirst <6772>.

3 I clothe <3847> the heavens <8064> with blackness <6940>, and

I make <7760> sackcloth <8242> their covering <3682>.

4. The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> hath given <5414> me the tongue

<3956> of the learned <3928>, that I should know <3045> how to

speak <5790> a word <1697> in season to [him that is] weary

<3287>: he wakeneth <5782> morning <1242> by morning <1242>, he

wakeneth <5782> mine ear <0241> to hear <8085> as the learned

<3928>.

5 The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> hath opened <6605> mine ear <0241>,

and I was not rebellious <4784>, neither <3808> turned <5472>

away back <0268>.

6 I gave <5414> my back <1458> to the smiters <5221>, and my

cheeks <3895> to them that plucked <4803> off the hair: I hid

<5641> not my face <6440> from shame <3639> and spitting <7536>.

7 For the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will help <5826> me; therefore

shall I not be confounded <3637>: therefore have I set <7760> my

face <6440> like a flint <2496>, and I know <3045> that I shall

not be ashamed <0954>.

8 [He is] near <7138> that justifieth <6663> me; who <4310>

will contend <7378> with me? let us stand <5975> together <3162>:

who <4310> [is] mine adversary? let him come <5066> near <5066>

to me.

9 Behold <2005>, the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will help <5826> me;

who <4310> [is] he [that] shall condemn <7561> me? lo <2005>,

they all <3605> shall wax old <1086> as a garment <0899>; the

moth <6211> shall eat <0398> them up.

10. Who <4310> [is] among you that feareth <3373> the LORD

<3068>, that obeyeth <8085> the voice <6963> of his servant

<5650>, that walketh <1980> [in] darkness <2825>, and hath no

<0369> light <5051>? let him trust <0982> in the name <8034> of

the LORD <3068>, and stay <8172> upon his God <0430>.

11 Behold <2005>, all <3605> ye that kindle <6919> a fire

<0784>, that compass <0247> [yourselves] about with sparks

<2131>: walk <3212> in the light <0217> of your fire <0784>, and

in the sparks <2131> [that] ye have kindled <1197>. This <2063>

shall ye have <1961> of mine hand <3027>; ye shall lie <7901>

down <7901> in sorrow <4620>.

Isaiah 51

1. Hearken <8085> to me, ye that follow <7291> after <0310>

righteousness <6664>, ye that seek <1245> the LORD <3068>: look

<5027> unto the rock <6697> [whence] ye are hewn <2672>, and to

the hole <4618> of the pit <0953> [whence] ye are digged <5365>.

2 Look <5027> unto Abraham <85> your father <1>, and unto Sarah

<8283> [that] bare <2342> you: for I called <7121> him alone

<0259>, and blessed <1288> him, and increased <7235> him.

3 For the LORD <3068> shall comfort <5162> Zion <6726>: he will

comfort <5162> all <3605> her waste <2723> places; and he will

make <7760> her wilderness <4057> like Eden <5731>, and her

desert <6160> like the garden <1588> of the LORD <3068>; joy

<8342> and gladness <8057> shall be found <4672> therein,

thanksgiving <8426>, and the voice <6963> of melody <2172>.

4. Hearken <7181> unto me, my people <5971>; and give ear

<0238> unto me, O my nation <3816>: for a law <8451> shall

proceed <3318> from me, and I will make my judgment <4941> to

rest <7280> for a light <0216> of the people <5971>.

5 My righteousness <6664> [is] near <7138>; my salvation <3468>

is gone <3318> forth <3318>, and mine arms <2220> shall judge

<8199> the people <5971>; the isles <0339> shall wait <6960>

upon me, and on <0413> mine arm <2220> shall they trust <3176>.

6 Lift <5375> up your eyes <5869> to the heavens <8064>, and

look <5027> upon the earth <0776> beneath <8478>: for the

heavens <8064> shall vanish <4414> away like smoke <6227>, and

the earth <0776> shall wax old <1086> like a garment <0899>, and

they that dwell <3427> therein shall die <4191> in like <3644>

manner <3654>: but my salvation <3444> shall be for ever <5769>,

and my righteousness <6666> shall not be abolished <2865>.

7 Hearken <8085> unto me, ye that know <3045> righteousness

<6664>, the people <5971> in whose heart <3820> [is] my law

<8451>; fear <3372> ye not the reproach <2781> of men <0582>,

neither <0408> be ye afraid <2865> of their revilings <1421>.

8 For the moth <6211> shall eat <0398> them up like a garment

<0899>, and the worm <5580> shall eat <0398> them like wool

<6785>: but my righteousness <6666> shall be for ever <5769>,

and my salvation <3444> from generation <1755> to generation

<1755>.

9. Awake <5782>, awake <5782>, put <3847> on strength <5797>, O

arm <2220> of the LORD <3068>; awake <5782>, as in the ancient

<6924> days <3117>, in the generations <1755> of old <5769>.

[Art] thou not it that hath cut <2672> Rahab <7294>, [and]

wounded <2490> the dragon <8577>?

10 [Art] thou not it which hath dried <2717> the sea <3220>,

the waters <4325> of the great <7227> deep <8415>; that hath

made <7760> the depths <4615> of the sea <3220> a way <1870> for

the ransomed <1350> to pass <5674> over <5674>?

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

return <7725>, and come <0935> with singing <7440> unto Zion

<6726>; and everlasting <5769> joy <8057> [shall be] upon their

head <7218>: they shall obtain <5381> gladness <8057> and joy

<8057>; [and] sorrow <3015> and mourning <0585> shall flee

<5127> away.

12 I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth <5162> you: who <4310>

[art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid <3372> of a man <0582>

[that] shall die <4191>, and of the son <1121> of man <0120>

[which] shall be made <5414> [as] grass <2682>;

13 And forgettest <7911> the LORD <3068> thy maker <6213>, that

hath stretched <5186> forth the heavens <8064>, and laid the

foundations <3245> of the earth <0776>; and hast feared <6342>

continually <8548> every <3605> day <3117> because <6440> of the

fury <2534> of the oppressor <6693>, as if he were ready <3559>

to destroy <7843>? and where <0346> [is] the fury <2534> of the

oppressor <6693>?

14 The captive <6808> exile <6808> hasteneth <4116> that he may

be loosed <6605>, and that he should not die <4191> in the pit

<7845>, nor <3808> that his bread <3899> should fail <2637>.

15 But I [am] the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, that divided

<7280> the sea <3220>, whose waves <1530> roared <1993>: The

LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>.

16 And I have put <7760> my words <1697> in thy mouth <6310>,

and I have covered <3680> thee in the shadow <6738> of mine hand

<3027>, that I may plant <5193> the heavens <8064>, and lay the

foundations <3245> of the earth <0776>, and say <0559> unto Zion

<6726>, Thou [art] my people <5971>.

17. Awake <5782>, awake <5782>, stand <6965> up, O Jerusalem

<3389>, which <0834> hast drunk <8354> at the hand <3027> of the

LORD <3068> the cup <3563> of his fury <2534>; thou hast drunken

<8354> the dregs <6907> of the cup <3563> of trembling <8653>,

[and] wrung <4680> [them] out.

18 [There is] none <0369> to guide <5095> her among all <3605>

the sons <1121> [whom] she hath brought <3205> forth <3205>;

neither <0369> [is there any] that taketh <2388> her by the hand

<3027> of all <3605> the sons <1121> [that] she hath brought

<1431> up.

19 These <2007> two <8147> [things] are come <7122> unto thee;

who <4310> shall be sorry <5110> for thee? desolation <7701>,

and destruction <7667>, and the famine <7458>, and the sword

<2719>: by whom <4310> shall I comfort <5162> thee?

20 Thy sons <1121> have fainted <5968>, they lie <7901> at the

head <7218> of all <3605> the streets <2351>, as a wild <8377>

bull <8377> in a net <4364>: they are full <4392> of the fury

<2534> of the LORD <3068>, the rebuke <1606> of thy God <0430>.

21 Therefore <3651> hear <8085> now <4994> this <2063>, thou

afflicted <6041>, and drunken <7937>, but not with wine <3196>:

22 Thus <3541> saith <0559> thy Lord <0113> the LORD <3068>,

and thy God <0430> [that] pleadeth <7378> the cause of his

people <5971>, Behold <2009>, I have taken <3947> out of thine

hand <3027> the cup <3563> of trembling <8653>, [even] the dregs

<6907> of the cup <3563> of my fury <2534>; thou shalt no <3808>

more <3254> drink <8354> it again <5750>:

23 But I will put <7760> it into the hand <3027> of them that

afflict <3013> thee; which <0834> have said <0559> to thy soul

<5315>, Bow <7812> down <7812>, that we may go <5674> over

<5674>: and thou hast laid <7760> thy body <1460> as the ground

<0776>, and as the street <2351>, to them that went <5674> over

<5674>.

Isaiah 52

1. Awake <5782>, awake <5782>; put <3847> on thy strength

<5797>, O Zion <6726>; put <3847> on thy beautiful <8597>

garments <0899>, O Jerusalem <3389>, the holy <6944> city <5892>:

for henceforth <6258> there shall no <3808> more come <0935>

into thee the uncircumcised <6189> and the unclean <2931>.

2 Shake <5287> thyself from the dust <6083>; arise <6965>,

[and] sit <3427> down, O Jerusalem <3389>: loose <6605> thyself

from the bands <4147> of thy neck <6677>, O captive <7628>

daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>.

3 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Ye have sold

<4376> yourselves for nought <2600>; and ye shall be redeemed

<1350> without <3808> money <3701>.

4 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, My

people <5971> went <3381> down <3381> aforetime <7223> into

Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>; and the Assyrian

<0804> oppressed <6231> them without <0657> cause <0657>.

5 Now <6258> therefore, what <4100> have I here <6311>, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068>, that my people <5971> is taken <3947>

away for nought <2600>? they that rule <4910> over them make

them to howl <3213>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and my name

<8034> continually <8548> every <3605> day <3117> [is]

blasphemed <5006>.

6 Therefore <3651> my people <5971> shall know <3045> my name

<8034>: therefore <3651> [they shall know] in that day <3117>

that I [am] he that doth speak <1696>: behold <2009>, [it is] I.

7. How <4100> beautiful <4998> upon the mountains <2022> are

the feet <7272> of him that bringeth <1319> good <2896> tidings

<1319>, that publisheth <8085> peace <7965>; that bringeth

<1319> good <2896> tidings <1319> of good <2896>, that

publisheth <8085> salvation <3444>; that saith <0559> unto Zion

<6726>, Thy God <0430> reigneth <4427>!

8 Thy watchmen <6822> shall lift <5375> up the voice <6963>;

with the voice <6963> together <3162> shall they sing <7442>:

for they shall see <7200> eye <5869> to eye <5869>, when the

LORD <3068> shall bring <7725> again <7725> Zion <6726>.

9 Break <6476> forth into joy, sing <7442> together <3162>, ye

waste <2723> places of Jerusalem <3389>: for the LORD <3068>

hath comforted <5162> his people <5971>, he hath redeemed <1350>

Jerusalem <3389>.

10 The LORD <3068> hath made bare <2834> his holy <6944> arm

<2220> in the eyes <5869> of all <3605> the nations <1471>; and

all <3605> the ends <0657> of the earth <0776> shall see <7200>

the salvation <3444> of our God <0430>.

11 Depart <5493> ye, depart <5493> ye, go <3318> ye out from

thence <8033>, touch <5060> no <0408> unclean <2931> [thing]; go

<3318> ye out of the midst <8432> of her; be ye clean <1305>,

that bear <5375> the vessels <3627> of the LORD <3068>.

12 For ye shall not go <3318> out with haste <2649>, nor <3808>

go <3212> by flight <4499>: for the LORD <3068> will go <1980>

before <6440> you; and the God <0430> of Israel <3478> [will be]

your rereward <0622>.

13. Behold <2009>, my servant <5650> shall deal prudently

<7919>, he shall be exalted <7311> and extolled <5375>, and be

very <3966> high <1361>.

14 As many <7227> were astonied <8074> at thee; his visage

<4758> was so marred <4893> more than any man <0376>, and his

form <8389> more than the sons <1121> of men <0120>:

15 So <3651> shall he sprinkle <5137> many <7227> nations

<1471>; the kings <4428> shall shut <7092> their mouths <6310>

at him: for [that] which <0834> had not been told <5608> them

shall they see <7200>; and [that] which <0834> they had not

heard <8085> shall they consider <0995>.

Isaiah 53

1. Who <4310> hath believed <0539> our report <8052>? and to

whom <4310> is the arm <2220> of the LORD <3068> revealed <1540>?

2 For he shall grow <5927> up before <6440> him as a tender

<3126> plant, and as a root <8328> out of a dry <6723> ground

<0776>: he hath no <3808> form <8389> nor <3808> comeliness

<1926>; and when we shall see <7200> him, [there is] no <3808>

beauty <4758> that we should desire <2530> him.

3 He is despised <0959> and rejected <2310> of men <0376>; a

man <0376> of sorrows <4341>, and acquainted <3045> with grief

<2483>: and we hid <5641> as it were [our] faces <6440> from him;

he was despised <0959>, and we esteemed him not.

4. Surely <0403> he hath borne <5375> our griefs <2483>, and

carried <5445> our sorrows <4341>: yet we did esteem <2803> him

stricken <5060>, smitten <5221> of God <0430>, and afflicted

<6031>.

5 But he [was] wounded <2490> for our transgressions <6588>,

[he was] bruised <1792> for our iniquities <5771>: the

chastisement <4148> of our peace <7965> [was] upon him; and with

his stripes <2250> we are healed <7495>.

6 All <3605> we like sheep <6629> have gone <8582> astray

<8582>; we have turned <6437> every <0376> one <0376> to his own

way <1870>; and the LORD <3068> hath laid <6293> on him the

iniquity <5771> of us all <3605>.

7 He was oppressed <5065>, and he was afflicted <6031>, yet he

opened <6605> not his mouth <6310>: he is brought <2986> as a

lamb <7716> to the slaughter <2875>, and as a sheep <7353>

before <6440> her shearers <1494> is dumb <0481>, so he openeth

<6605> not his mouth <6310>.

8 He was taken <3947> from prison <6115> and from judgment

<4941>: and who <4310> shall declare <7878> his generation

<1755>? for he was cut <1504> off out of the land <0776> of the

living <2416>: for the transgression <6588> of my people <5971>

was he stricken <5061>.

9 And he made <5414> his grave <6913> with the wicked <7563>,

and with the rich <6223> in his death <4194>; because <5921> he

had done <6213> no <3808> violence <2555>, neither <3808> [was

any] deceit <4820> in his mouth <6310>.

10. Yet it pleased <2654> the LORD <3068> to bruise <1792> him;

he hath put [him] to grief <2470>: when <0518> thou shalt make

<7760> his soul <5315> an offering for sin <0817>, he shall see

<7200> [his] seed <2233>, he shall prolong <0748> [his] days

<3117>, and the pleasure <2656> of the LORD <3068> shall prosper

<6743> in his hand <3027>.

11 He shall see <7200> of the travail <5999> of his soul <5315>,

[and] shall be satisfied <7646>: by his knowledge <1847> shall

my righteous <6662> servant <5650> justify <6663> many <7227>;

for he shall bear <5445> their iniquities <5771>.

12 Therefore <3651> will I divide <5312> him [a portion] with

the great <7227>, and he shall divide <5312> the spoil <7998>

with the strong <6099>; because he hath poured <6168> out his

soul <5315> unto death <4194>: and he was numbered <4487> with

the transgressors <6586>; and he bare <5375> the sin <2399> of

many <7227>, and made intercession <6293> for the transgressors

<6586>.

Isaiah 54

1. Sing <7442>, O barren <6135>, thou [that] didst not bear

<5375>; break <6476> forth into singing <7440>, and cry <6670>

aloud <6670>, thou [that] didst not travail <2342> with child:

for more <7227> [are] the children <1121> of the desolate <8074>

than the children <1121> of the married <1166> wife, saith

<0559> the LORD <3068>.

2 Enlarge <7337> the place <4725> of thy tent <0168>, and let

them stretch <5186> forth the curtains <3407> of thine

habitations <4908>: spare <2820> not, lengthen <0748> thy cords

<4340>, and strengthen <2388> thy stakes <3489>;

3 For thou shalt break <6555> forth on the right <3225> hand

<3225> and on the left <8040>; and thy seed <2233> shall inherit

<3423> the Gentiles <1471>, and make the desolate <8077> cities

<5892> to be inhabited <3427>.

4 Fear <3372> not; for thou shalt not be ashamed <0954>:

neither <0408> be thou confounded <3637>; for thou shalt not be

put to shame <2659>: for thou shalt forget <7911> the shame

<1322> of thy youth <5934>, and shalt not remember <2142> the

reproach <2781> of thy widowhood <0491> any more <5750>.

5 For thy Maker <6213> [is] thine husband <1167>; the LORD

<3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>; and thy Redeemer

<1350> the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>; The God <0430> of

the whole <3605> earth <0776> shall he be called <7121>.

6. For the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> thee as a woman

<0802> forsaken <5800> and grieved <6087> in spirit <7307>, and

a wife <0802> of youth <5271>, when <3588> thou wast refused

<3988>, saith <0559> thy God <0430>.

7 For a small <6996> moment <7281> have I forsaken <5800> thee;

but with great <1419> mercies <7356> will I gather <6908> thee.

8 In a little <8241> wrath <7110> I hid <5641> my face <6440>

from thee for a moment <7281>; but with everlasting <5769>

kindness <2617> will I have mercy <7355> on thee, saith <0559>

the LORD <3068> thy Redeemer <1350>.

9 For this <2063> [is as] the waters <4325> of Noah <5146> unto

me: for [as] I have sworn <7650> that the waters <4325> of Noah

<5146> should no more <5750> go <5674> over <5674> the earth

<0776>; so <3651> have I sworn <7650> that I would not be wroth

<7107> with thee, nor rebuke <1605> thee.

10 For the mountains <2022> shall depart <4185>, and the hills

<1389> be removed <4131>; but my kindness <2617> shall not

depart <4185> from thee, neither <3808> shall the covenant

<1285> of my peace <7965> be removed <4131>, saith <0559> the

LORD <3068> that hath mercy <7355> on thee.

11. O thou afflicted <6041>, tossed with tempest <5590>, [and]

not comforted <5162>, behold <2009>, I will lay <7257> thy

stones <68> with fair <6320> colours <6320>, and lay thy

foundations <3245> with sapphires <5601>.

12 And I will make <7760> thy windows <8121> of agates <3539>,

and thy gates <8179> of carbuncles <68>, and all <3605> thy

borders <1366> of pleasant <2656> stones <68>.

13 And all <3605> thy children <1121> [shall be] taught <3928>

of the LORD <3068>; and great <7227> [shall be] the peace <7965>

of thy children <1121>.

14 In righteousness <6666> shalt thou be established <3559>:

thou shalt be far <7368> from oppression <6233>; for thou shalt

not fear <3372>: and from terror <4288>; for it shall not come

<7126> near <7126> thee.

15 Behold <2005>, they shall surely gather <1481> together,

[but] not by me: whosoever <4310> shall gather <1481> together

against <5921> thee shall fall <5307> for thy sake <4616>.

16 Behold <2005>, I have created <1254> the smith <2796> that

bloweth <5301> the coals <6352> in the fire <0784>, and that

bringeth <3318> forth <4161> an instrument <3627> for his work

<4639>; and I have created <1254> the waster <7843> to destroy

<2254>.

17 No <3808> weapon <3627> that is formed <3335> against <5921>

thee shall prosper <6743>; and every <3605> tongue <3956> [that]

shall rise <6965> against thee in judgment <4941> thou shalt

condemn <7561>. This <2063> [is] the heritage <5159> of the

servants <5650> of the LORD <3068>, and their righteousness

<6666> [is] of me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

Isaiah 55

1. Ho <1945>, every <3605> one that thirsteth <6771>, come

<3212> ye to the waters <4325>, and he that hath no <0369> money

<3701>; come <3212> ye, buy <7666>, and eat <0398>; yea, come

<3212>, buy <7666> wine <3196> and milk <2461> without <3808>

money <3701> and without <3808> price <4242>.

2 Wherefore <4100> do ye spend <8254> money <3701> for [that

which <0834> is] not bread <3899>? and your labour <3018> for

[that which <0834>] satisfieth <7654> not? hearken <8085>

diligently unto me, and eat <0398> ye [that which <0834> is]

good <2896>, and let your soul <5315> delight <6026> itself in

fatness <1880>.

3 Incline <5186> your ear <0241>, and come <3212> unto me: hear

<8085>, and your soul <5315> shall live <2421>; and I will make

<3772> an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285> with you, [even]

the sure <0539> mercies <2617> of David <1732>.

4 Behold <2005>, I have given <5414> him [for] a witness <5707>

to the people <3816>, a leader <5057> and commander <6680> to

the people <3816>.

5 Behold <2005>, thou shalt call <7121> a nation <1471> [that]

thou knowest <3045> not, and nations <1471> [that] knew <3045>

not thee shall run <7323> unto thee because <4616> of the LORD

<3068> thy God <0430>, and for the Holy <6918> One of Israel

<3478>; for he hath glorified <6286> thee.

6. Seek <1875> ye the LORD <3068> while he may be found <4672>,

call <7121> ye upon him while he is near <7138>:

7 Let the wicked <7563> forsake <5800> his way <1870>, and the

unrighteous <0205> man <0376> his thoughts <4284>: and let him

return <7725> unto the LORD <3068>, and he will have mercy

<7355> upon him; and to our God <0430>, for he will abundantly

<7235> pardon <5545>.

8 For my thoughts <4284> [are] not your thoughts <4284>,

neither <3808> [are] your ways <1870> my ways <1870>, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068>.

9 For [as] the heavens <8064> are higher <1361> than the earth

<0776>, so <3651> are my ways <1870> higher <1361> than your

ways <1870>, and my thoughts <4284> than your thoughts <4284>.

10 For as the rain <1653> cometh <3381> down <3381>, and the

snow <7950> from heaven <8064>, and returneth <7725> not thither

<8033>, but watereth <7301> the earth <0776>, and maketh it

bring <3205> forth <3205> and bud <6779>, that it may give

<5414> seed <2233> to the sower <2232>, and bread <3899> to the

eater <0398>:

11 So <3651> shall my word <1697> be that goeth <3318> forth

<3318> out of my mouth <6310>: it shall not return <7725> unto

me void <7387>, but it shall accomplish <6213> that which <0834>

I please <2654>, and it shall prosper <6743> [in the thing]

whereto <0834> I sent <7971> it.

12 For ye shall go <3318> out with joy <8057>, and be led

<2986> forth <2986> with peace <7965>: the mountains <2022> and

the hills <1389> shall break <6476> forth before <6440> you into

singing <7440>, and all <3605> the trees <6086> of the field

<7704> shall clap <4222> [their] hands <3709>.

13 Instead <8478> of the thorn <5285> shall come <5927> up the

fir <1265> tree, and instead <8478> of the brier <5636> shall

come <5927> up the myrtle <1918> tree: and it shall be to the

LORD <3068> for a name <8034>, for an everlasting <5769> sign

<0226> [that] shall not be cut <3772> off.

Isaiah 56

1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Keep <8104> ye

judgment <4941>, and do <6213> justice <6666>: for my salvation

<3444> [is] near <7138> to come <0935>, and my righteousness

<6666> to be revealed <1540>.

2 Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0582> [that] doeth <6213> this

<2063>, and the son <1121> of man <0120> [that] layeth hold

<2388> on it; that keepeth <8104> the sabbath <7676> from

polluting <2490> it, and keepeth <8104> his hand <3027> from

doing <6213> any <3605> evil <7451>.

3. Neither <0408> let the son <1121> of the stranger <5236>,

that hath joined <3867> himself to the LORD <3068>, speak <0559>,

saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> hath utterly separated <0914> me

from his people <5971>: neither <0408> let the eunuch <5631> say

<0559>, Behold <2005>, I [am] a dry <3002> tree <6086>.

4 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto the eunuchs

<5631> that keep <8104> my sabbaths <7676>, and choose <0977>

[the things] that please <2654> me, and take <2388> hold <2388>

of my covenant <1285>;

5 Even unto them will I give <5414> in mine house <1004> and

within my walls <2346> a place <3027> and a name <8034> better

<2896> than of sons <1121> and of daughters <1121>: I will give

<5414> them an everlasting <5769> name <8034>, that shall not be

cut <3772> off.

6 Also the sons <1121> of the stranger <5236>, that join <3867>

themselves to the LORD <3068>, to serve <8334> him, and to love

<0157> the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, to be his servants

<5650>, every <3605> one that keepeth <8104> the sabbath <7676>

from polluting <2490> it, and taketh <2388> hold <2388> of my

covenant <1285>;

7 Even them will I bring <0935> to my holy <6944> mountain

<2022>, and make them joyful <8055> in my house <1004> of prayer

<8605>: their burnt <5930> offerings and their sacrifices <2077>

[shall be] accepted <7522> upon mine altar <4196>; for mine

house <1004> shall be called <7121> an house <1004> of prayer

<8605> for all <3605> people <5971>.

8 The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> which gathereth <6908> the

outcasts <1760> of Israel <3478> saith <5002>, Yet <5750> will I

gather <6908> [others] to him, beside those that are gathered

<6908> unto him.

9. All <3605> ye beasts <2416> of the field <7704>, come <0857>

to devour <0398>, [yea], all <3605> ye beasts <2416> in the

forest <3293>.

10 His watchmen <6822> [are] blind <5787>: they are all <3605>

ignorant, they [are] all <3605> dumb <0483> dogs <3611>, they

cannot bark <5024>; sleeping <1957>, lying <7901> down <7901>,

loving <0157> to slumber <5123>.

11 Yea, [they are] greedy dogs <3611> [which] can <3045> never

<3808> have <3045> enough <7654>, and they [are] shepherds

<7462> [that] cannot understand <0995>: they all <3605> look

<6437> to their own way <1870>, every <0376> one <0376> for his

gain <1214>, from his quarter <7098>.

12 Come <0857> ye, [say they], I will fetch <3947> wine <3196>,

and we will fill <4390> ourselves with strong drink <7941>; and

to morrow <4279> shall be as this <2088> day <3117>, [and] much

<3966> more <3499> abundant <1419>.

Isaiah 57

1. The righteous <6662> perisheth <6>, and no <0369> man <0376>

layeth <7760> [it] to heart <3820>: and merciful <2617> men

<0582> [are] taken <0622> away, none <0369> considering <0995>

that the righteous <6662> is taken <0622> away from the evil

<7451> [to come].

2 He shall enter <0935> into peace <7965>: they shall rest

<5117> in their beds <4904>, [each one] walking <1980> [in] his

uprightness <5228>.

3. But draw near <7126> hither, ye sons <1121> of the sorceress

<6049>, the seed <2233> of the adulterer <5003> and the whore

<2181>.

4 Against <5921> whom <4310> do ye sport <6026> yourselves?

against <5921> whom <4310> make ye a wide <7337> mouth <6310>,

[and] draw <0748> out the tongue <3956>? [are] ye not children

<3206> of transgression <6588>, a seed <2233> of falsehood

<8267>,

5 Enflaming <2552> yourselves with idols <0410> under <8478>

every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086>, slaying <7819> the

children <3206> in the valleys <5158> under <8478> the clifts

<5585> of the rocks <5553>?

6 Among the smooth <2511> [stones] of the stream <5158> [is]

thy portion <2506>; they, they [are] thy lot <1486>: even <1571>

to them hast thou poured <8210> a drink <5262> offering, thou

hast offered <5927> a meat offering <4503>. Should I receive

<5162> comfort <5162> in these <0428>?

7 Upon a lofty <1364> and high <5375> mountain <2022> hast thou

set <7760> thy bed <4904>: even <1571> thither <8033> wentest

<5927> thou up to offer <2076> sacrifice <2077>.

8 Behind <0310> the doors <1817> also and the posts <4201> hast

thou set <7760> up thy remembrance <2146>: for thou hast

discovered <1540> [thyself to another] than me, and art gone

<5927> up; thou hast enlarged <7337> thy bed <4904>, and made

<3772> thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst <0157> their

bed <4904> where <3027> thou sawest <2372> [it].

9 And thou wentest <7788> to the king <4428> with ointment

<8081>, and didst increase <7235> thy perfumes <7547>, and didst

send <7971> thy messengers <6735> far <7350> off, and didst

debase <8213> [thyself even] unto hell <7585>.

10 Thou art wearied <3021> in the greatness <7230> of thy way

<1870>; [yet] saidst <0559> thou not, There is no hope <2976>:

thou hast found <4672> the life <2416> of thine hand <3027>;

therefore thou wast not grieved <2470>.

11 And of whom <4310> hast thou been afraid <1672> or feared

<3372>, that thou hast lied <3576>, and hast not remembered

<2142> me, nor <3808> laid <7760> [it] to thy heart <3820>? have

not I held <2814> my peace <2814> even of old <5769>, and thou

fearest <3372> me not?

12 I will declare <5046> thy righteousness <6666>, and thy

works <4639>; for they shall not profit <3276> thee.

13. When thou criest <2199>, let thy companies deliver <5337>

thee; but the wind <7307> shall carry <5375> them all <3605>

away; vanity <1892> shall take <3947> [them]: but he that

putteth his trust <2620> in me shall possess <5157> the land

<0776>, and shall inherit <3423> my holy <6944> mountain <2022>;

14 And shall say <0559>, Cast <5549> ye up, cast <5549> ye up,

prepare <6437> the way <1870>, take <7311> up the stumblingblock

<4383> out of the way <1870> of my people <5971>.

15 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the high <7311> and lofty

<5375> One that inhabiteth <7931> eternity <5703>, whose name

<8034> [is] Holy <6918>; I dwell <7931> in the high <4791> and

holy <6918> [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite

<1793> and humble <8217> spirit <7307>, to revive <2421> the

spirit <7307> of the humble <8217>, and to revive <2421> the

heart <3820> of the contrite <1792> ones.

16 For I will not contend <7378> for ever <5769>, neither

<3808> will I be always <5331> wroth <7107>: for the spirit

<7307> should fail <5848> before <6440> me, and the souls <5397>

[which] I have made <6213>.

17. For the iniquity <5771> of his covetousness <1215> was I

wroth <7107>, and smote <5221> him: I hid <5641> me, and was

wroth <7107>, and he went <3212> on frowardly <7726> in the way

<1870> of his heart <3820>.

18 I have seen <7200> his ways <1870>, and will heal <7495> him:

I will lead <5148> him also, and restore <7999> comforts <5150>

unto him and to his mourners <57>.

19 I create <1254> the fruit <5108> of the lips <8193>; Peace

<7965>, peace <7965> to [him that is] far <7350> off, and to

[him that is] near <7138>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; and I

will heal <7495> him.

20 But the wicked <7563> [are] like the troubled <1644> sea

<3220>, when <3588> it cannot rest <8252>, whose waters <4325>

cast <1644> up mire <7516> and dirt <2916>.

21 [There is] no <0369> peace <7965>, saith <0559> my God

<0430>, to the wicked <7563>.

Isaiah 58

1. Cry <7121> aloud <1627>, spare <2820> not, lift <7311> up

thy voice <6963> like a trumpet <7782>, and shew <5046> my

people <5971> their transgression <6588>, and the house <1004>

of Jacob <3290> their sins <2403>.

2 Yet they seek <1875> me daily <3117>, and delight <2654> to

know <1847> my ways <1870>, as a nation <1471> that did <6213>

righteousness <6666>, and forsook <5800> not the ordinance

<4941> of their God <0430>: they ask <7592> of me the ordinances

<4941> of justice <6664>; they take delight <2654> in

approaching <7132> to God <0430>.

3. Wherefore <4100> have we fasted <6684>, [say they], and thou

seest <7200> not? [wherefore] have we afflicted <6031> our soul

<5315>, and thou takest no <3808> knowledge <3045>? Behold

<2005>, in the day <3117> of your fast <6685> ye find <4672>

pleasure <2656>, and exact <5065> all <3605> your labours <6092>.

4 Behold <2005>, ye fast <6684> for strife <7379> and debate

<4683>, and to smite <5221> with the fist <0106> of wickedness

<7562>: ye shall not fast <6684> as [ye do this] day <3117>, to

make your voice <6963> to be heard <8085> on high <4791>.

5 Is it such <2088> a fast <6685> that I have chosen <0977>? a

day <3117> for a man <0120> to afflict <6031> his soul <5315>?

[is it] to bow <3721> down his head <7218> as a bulrush <0100>,

and to spread <3331> sackcloth <8242> and ashes <0665> [under

him]? wilt thou call <7121> this <2088> a fast <6685>, and an

acceptable <7522> day <3117> to the LORD <3068>?

6 [Is] not this <2088> the fast <6685> that I have chosen

<0977>? to loose <6605> the bands <2784> of wickedness <7562>,

to undo <5425> the heavy <4133> burdens <92>, and to let the

oppressed <7533> go <7971> free <2670>, and that ye break <5423>

every <3605> yoke <4133>?

7 [Is it] not to deal <6536> thy bread <3899> to the hungry

<7456>, and that thou bring <0935> the poor <6041> that are cast

<4788> out to thy house <1004>? when <3588> thou seest <7200>

the naked <6174>, that thou cover <3680> him; and that thou hide

<5956> not thyself from thine own flesh <1320>?

8. Then <0227> shall thy light <0216> break <1234> forth as the

morning <7837>, and thine health <0724> shall spring <6779>

forth speedily <4120>: and thy righteousness <6664> shall go

<1980> before <6440> thee; the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068>

shall be thy rereward <0622>.

9 Then <0227> shalt thou call <7121>, and the LORD <3068> shall

answer <6030>; thou shalt cry <7768>, and he shall say <0559>,

Here <2009> I [am]. If thou take <5493> away <5493> from the

midst <8432> of thee the yoke <4133>, the putting <7971> forth

<7971> of the finger <0676>, and speaking <1696> vanity <0205>;

10 And [if] thou draw <6329> out thy soul <5315> to the hungry

<7456>, and satisfy <7646> the afflicted <6031> soul <5315>;

then shall thy light <0216> rise <2224> in obscurity <2822>, and

thy darkness <0653> [be] as the noonday <6672>:

11 And the LORD <3068> shall guide <5148> thee continually

<8548>, and satisfy <7646> thy soul <5315> in drought <6710>,

and make fat <2502> thy bones <6106>: and thou shalt be like a

watered <7302> garden <1588>, and like a spring <4161> of water

<4325>, whose <0834> waters <4325> fail <3576> not.

12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build <1129> the old

<5769> waste <2723> places: thou shalt raise <6965> up the

foundations <4146> of many generations <1755>; and thou shalt be

called <7121>, The repairer <1443> of the breach <6556>, The

restorer <7725> of paths <5410> to dwell <3427> in.

13. If <0518> thou turn <7725> away thy foot <7272> from the

sabbath <7676>, [from] doing <6213> thy pleasure <2656> on my

holy <6944> day <3117>; and call <7121> the sabbath <7676> a

delight <6027>, the holy <6918> of the LORD <3068>, honourable

<3513>; and shalt honour <3513> him, not doing <6213> thine own

ways <1870>, nor finding <4672> thine own pleasure <2656>, nor

speaking <1696> [thine own] words <1697>:

14 Then <0227> shalt thou delight <6026> thyself in the LORD

<3068>; and I will cause thee to ride <7392> upon the high

<1116> places of the earth <0776>, and feed <0398> thee with the

heritage <5159> of Jacob <3290> thy father <1>: for the mouth

<6310> of the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696> [it].

Isaiah 59

1. Behold <2005>, the LORD'S <3068> hand <3027> is not

shortened <7114>, that it cannot <3808> save <3467>; neither

<3808> his ear <0241> heavy <3513>, that it cannot <3808> hear

<8085>:

2 But your iniquities <5771> have separated <0914> between

<0996> you and your God <0430>, and your sins <2403> have hid

<5641> [his] face <6440> from you, that he will not hear <8085>.

3 For your hands <3709> are defiled <1351> with blood <1818>,

and your fingers <0676> with iniquity <5771>; your lips <8193>

have spoken <1696> lies <8267>, your tongue <3956> hath muttered

<1897> perverseness <5766>.

4 None <0369> calleth <7121> for justice <6664>, nor <0369>

[any] pleadeth <8199> for truth <0530>: they trust <0982> in

vanity <8414>, and speak <1696> lies <7723>; they conceive

<2029> mischief <5999>, and bring <3205> forth <3205> iniquity

<0205>.

5 They hatch <1234> cockatrice <6848>' eggs <1000>, and weave

<0707> the spider's <5908> web <6980>: he that eateth <0398> of

their eggs <1000> dieth <4191>, and that which is crushed <2116>

breaketh <1234> out into a viper <0660>.

6 Their webs <6980> shall not become <1961> garments <0899>,

neither <3808> shall they cover <3680> themselves with their

works <4639>: their works <4639> [are] works <4639> of iniquity

<0205>, and the act <6467> of violence <2555> [is] in their

hands <3709>.

7 Their feet <7272> run <7323> to evil <7451>, and they make

haste <4116> to shed <8210> innocent <5355> blood <1818>: their

thoughts <4284> [are] thoughts <4284> of iniquity <0205>;

wasting <7701> and destruction <7667> [are] in their paths

<4546>.

8 The way <1870> of peace <7965> they know <3045> not; and

[there is] no <0369> judgment <4941> in their goings <4570>:

they have made them crooked <6140> paths <5410>: whosoever

<3605> goeth <1869> therein shall not know <3045> peace <7965>.

9. Therefore is judgment <4941> far <7368> from us, neither

<3808> doth justice <6666> overtake <5381> us: we wait <6960>

for light <0216>, but behold <2009> obscurity <2822>; for

brightness <5054>, [but] we walk <1980> in darkness <0653>.

10 We grope <1659> for the wall <7023> like the blind <5787>,

and we grope <1659> as if [we had] no <0369> eyes <5869>: we

stumble <3782> at noonday <6672> as in the night <5399>; [we

are] in desolate <0820> places as dead <4191> [men].

11 We roar <1993> all <3605> like bears <1677>, and mourn

<1897> sore like doves <3123>: we look <6960> for judgment

<4941>, but [there is] none <0369>; for salvation <3444>, [but]

it is far <7368> off from us.

12 For our transgressions <6588> are multiplied <7231> before

<5048> thee, and our sins <2403> testify <6030> against us: for

our transgressions <6588> [are] with us; and [as for] our

iniquities <5771>, we know <3045> them;

13 In transgressing <6586> and lying <3584> against the LORD

<3068>, and departing <5253> away from our God <0430>, speaking

<1696> oppression <6233> and revolt <5627>, conceiving <2030>

and uttering <1897> from the heart <3820> words <1697> of

falsehood <8267>.

14 And judgment <4941> is turned <5253> away backward <0268>,

and justice <6666> standeth <5975> afar <7350> off: for truth

<0571> is fallen <3782> in the street <7339>, and equity <5229>

cannot enter <0935>.

15 Yea, truth <0571> faileth <5737>; and he [that] departeth

<5493> from evil <7451> maketh himself a prey <7997>: and the

LORD <3068> saw <7200> [it], and it displeased him that [there

was] no <0369> judgment <4941>.

16. And he saw <7200> that [there was] no <0369> man <0376>,

and wondered <8074> that [there was] no <0369> intercessor

<6293>: therefore his arm <2220> brought <3467> salvation <3467>

unto him; and his righteousness <6666>, it sustained <5564> him.

17 For he put <3847> on righteousness <6666> as a breastplate

<8302>, and an helmet <3553> of salvation <3444> upon his head

<7218>; and he put <3847> on the garments <0899> of vengeance

<5359> [for] clothing <8516>, and was clad <5844> with zeal

<7068> as a cloke <4598>.

18 According <5921> to [their] deeds <1578>, accordingly <5922>

he will repay <7999>, fury <2534> to his adversaries <6862>,

recompence <1576> to his enemies <0341>; to the islands <0339>

he will repay <7999> recompence <1576>.

19 So shall they fear <3372> the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>

from the west <4628>, and his glory <3519> from the rising

<4217> of the sun <8121>. When <3588> the enemy <6862> shall

come <0935> in like a flood <5104>, the Spirit <7307> of the

LORD <3068> shall lift <5127> up a standard <5127> against him.

20 And the Redeemer <1350> shall come <0935> to Zion <6726>,

and unto them that turn <7725> from transgression <6588> in

Jacob <3290>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

21 As for me, this <2063> [is] my covenant <1285> with them,

saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; My spirit <7307> that [is] upon

thee, and my words <1697> which <0834> I have put <7760> in thy

mouth <6310>, shall not depart <4185> out of thy mouth <6310>,

nor out of the mouth <6310> of thy seed <2233>, nor out of the

mouth <6310> of thy seed's <2233> seed <2233>, saith <0559> the

LORD <3068>, from henceforth <3254> and for ever <5769>.

Isaiah 60

1. Arise <6965>, shine <0215>; for thy light <0216> is come

<0935>, and the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> is risen <2224>

upon thee.

2 For, behold <2009>, the darkness <2822> shall cover <3680>

the earth <0776>, and gross <6205> darkness <6205> the people

<3816>: but the LORD <3068> shall arise <2224> upon thee, and

his glory <3519> shall be seen <7200> upon thee.

3 And the Gentiles <1471> shall come <1980> to thy light <0216>,

and kings <4428> to the brightness <5051> of thy rising <2225>.

4 Lift <5375> up thine eyes <5869> round <5439> about, and see

<7200>: all <3605> they gather <6908> themselves together, they

come <0935> to thee: thy sons <1121> shall come <0935> from far

<7350>, and thy daughters <1121> shall be nursed <0539> at

<5921> [thy] side <6654>.

5 Then <0227> thou shalt see, and flow <5102> together, and

thine heart <3824> shall fear <6342>, and be enlarged <7337>;

because <3588> the abundance <1995> of the sea <3220> shall be

converted <2015> unto thee, the forces <2428> of the Gentiles

<1471> shall come <0935> unto thee.

6 The multitude <8229> of camels <1581> shall cover <3680> thee,

the dromedaries <1070> of Midian <4080> and Ephah <5891>; all

<3605> they from Sheba <7614> shall come <0935>: they shall

bring <5375> gold <2091> and incense <3828>; and they shall shew

<1319> forth the praises <8416> of the LORD <3068>.

7 All <3605> the flocks <6629> of Kedar <6938> shall be

gathered <6908> together unto thee, the rams <0352> of Nebaioth

<5032> shall minister <8334> unto thee: they shall come <5927>

up with acceptance <7522> on <5921> mine altar <4196>, and I

will glorify <6286> the house <1004> of my glory <8597>.

8 Who <4310> [are] these <0428> [that] fly <5774> as a cloud

<5645>, and as the doves <3123> to their windows <0699>?

9. Surely <3588> the isles <0339> shall wait <6960> for me, and

the ships <0591> of Tarshish <8659> first <7223>, to bring

<0935> thy sons <1121> from far <7350>, their silver <3701> and

their gold <2091> with them, unto the name <8034> of the LORD

<3068> thy God <0430>, and to the Holy <6918> One of Israel

<3478>, because <3588> he hath glorified <6286> thee.

10 And the sons <1121> of strangers <5236> shall build <1129>

up thy walls <2346>, and their kings <4428> shall minister

<8334> unto thee: for in my wrath <7110> I smote <5221> thee,

but in my favour <7522> have I had mercy <7355> on thee.

11 Therefore thy gates <8179> shall be open <6605> continually

<8548>; they shall not be shut <5462> day <3119> nor night

<3915>; that [men] may bring <0935> unto thee the forces <2428>

of the Gentiles <1471>, and [that] their kings <4428> [may be]

brought <5090>.

12 For the nation <1471> and kingdom <4467> that will not serve

<5647> thee shall perish <6>; yea, [those] nations <1471> shall

be utterly wasted <2717>.

13 The glory <3519> of Lebanon <3844> shall come <0935> unto

thee, the fir <1265> tree, the pine <8410> tree, and the box

<8391> together <3162>, to beautify <6286> the place <4725> of

my sanctuary <4720>; and I will make <7760> the place <4725> of

my feet <7272> glorious <3513>.

14 The sons <1121> also of them that afflicted <6031> thee

shall come <1980> bending <7817> unto thee; and all <3605> they

that despised <5006> thee shall bow <7812> themselves down

<7812> at <5921> the soles <3709> of thy feet <7272>; and they

shall call <7121> thee, The city <5892> of the LORD <3068>, The

Zion <6726> of the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.

15. Whereas <8478> thou hast been <1961> forsaken <5800> and

hated <8130>, so that no <0369> man went <5674> through <5674>

[thee], I will make <7760> thee an eternal <5769> excellency

<1347>, a joy <4885> of many generations <1755>.

16 Thou shalt also suck <3243> the milk <2461> of the Gentiles

<1471>, and shalt suck <3243> the breast <7699> of kings <4428>:

and thou shalt know <3045> that I the LORD <3068> [am] thy

Saviour <3467> and thy Redeemer <1350>, the mighty <46> One of

Jacob <3290>.

17 For brass <5178> I will bring <0935> gold <2091>, and for

iron <1270> I will bring <0935> silver <3701>, and for wood

<6086> brass <5178>, and for stones <68> iron <1270>: I will

also make <7760> thy officers <6486> peace <7965>, and thine

exactors <5065> righteousness <6666>.

18 Violence <2555> shall no <3808> more <5750> be heard <8085>

in thy land <0776>, wasting <7701> nor destruction <7667> within

thy borders <1366>; but thou shalt call <7121> thy walls <2346>

Salvation <3444>, and thy gates <8179> Praise <8416>.

19 The sun <8121> shall be no <3808> more <5750> thy light

<0216> by day <3117>; neither <3808> for brightness <5051> shall

the moon <3394> give light <0216> unto thee: but the LORD <3068>

shall be unto thee an everlasting <5769> light <0216>, and thy

God <0430> thy glory <8597>.

20 Thy sun <8121> shall no <3808> more <5750> go <0935> down;

neither <3808> shall thy moon <3391> withdraw <0622> itself: for

the LORD <3068> shall be thine everlasting <5769> light <0216>,

and the days <3117> of thy mourning <60> shall be ended <7999>.

21 Thy people <5971> also [shall be] all <3605> righteous

<6662>: they shall inherit <3423> the land <0776> for ever

<5769>, the branch <5342> of my planting <4302>, the work <4639>

of my hands <3027>, that I may be glorified <6286>.

22 A little <6996> one shall become <1961> a thousand <0505>,

and a small <6810> one a strong <6099> nation <1471>: I the LORD

<3068> will hasten <2363> it in his time <6256>.

Isaiah 61

1. The Spirit <7307> of the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> [is] upon me;

because <3282> the LORD <3068> hath anointed <4886> me to

preach <1319> good <1319> tidings <1319> unto the meek <6035>;

he hath sent <7971> me to bind <2280> up the brokenhearted, to

proclaim <7121> liberty <1865> to the captives <7628>, and the

opening <6495> of the prison <6495> to [them that are] bound

<0631>;

2 To proclaim <7121> the acceptable <7522> year <8141> of the

LORD <3068>, and the day <3117> of vengeance <5359> of our God

<0430>; to comfort <5162> all <3605> that mourn <57>;

3 To appoint <7760> unto them that mourn <57> in Zion <6726>,

to give <5414> unto them beauty <6287> for ashes <0665>, the oil

<8081> of joy <8342> for mourning <60>, the garment <4594> of

praise <8416> for the spirit <7307> of heaviness <3544>; that

they might be called <7121> trees <0352> of righteousness <6664>,

the planting <4302> of the LORD <3068>, that he might be

glorified <6286>.

4. And they shall build <1129> the old <5769> wastes <2723>,

they shall raise <6965> up the former <7223> desolations <8074>,

and they shall repair <2318> the waste <2721> cities <5892>, the

desolations <8074> of many <7227> generations <1755>.

5 And strangers <2114> shall stand <5975> and feed <7462> your

flocks <6629>, and the sons <1121> of the alien <5236> [shall

be] your plowmen <0406> and your vinedressers <3755>.

6 But ye shall be named <7121> the Priests <3548> of the LORD

<3068>: [men] shall call <7121> you the Ministers <8334> of our

God <0430>: ye shall eat <0398> the riches <2428> of the

Gentiles <1471>, and in their glory <3519> shall ye boast <3235>

yourselves.

7 For your shame <1322> [ye shall have] double <4932>; and

[for] confusion <3639> they shall rejoice <7442> in their

portion <2506>: therefore <3651> in their land <0776> they shall

possess <3423> the double <4932>: everlasting <5769> joy <8057>

shall be unto them.

8 For I the LORD <3068> love <0157> judgment <4941>, I hate

<8130> robbery <1498> for burnt <5930> offering; and I will

direct <5414> their work <6468> in truth <0571>, and I will make

<3772> an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285> with them.

9 And their seed <2233> shall be known <3045> among the

Gentiles <1471>, and their offspring <6631> among <8432> the

people <5971>: all <3605> that see <7200> them shall acknowledge

<5234> them, that they [are] the seed <2233> [which] the LORD

<3068> hath blessed <1288>.

10. I will greatly rejoice <7797> in the LORD <3068>, my soul

<5315> shall be joyful <1523> in my God <0430>; for he hath

clothed <3847> me with the garments <0899> of salvation <3468>,

he hath covered <3271> me with the robe <4598> of righteousness

<6666>, as a bridegroom <2860> decketh <3547> [himself] with

ornaments <6287>, and as a bride <3618> adorneth <5710>

[herself] with her jewels <3627>.

11 For as the earth <0776> bringeth <3318> forth <3318> her bud

<6779>, and as the garden <1593> causeth the things that are

sown <2221> in it to spring <6779> forth; so <3651> the Lord

<0136> GOD <3069> will cause righteousness <6666> and praise

<8416> to spring <6779> forth before <5048> all <3605> the

nations <1471>.

Isaiah 62

1. For Zion's sake <4616> will I not hold <2814> my peace

<2814>, and for Jerusalem's <3389> sake <4616> I will not rest

<8252>, until <5704> the righteousness <6664> thereof go <3318>

forth <3318> as brightness <5051>, and the salvation <3444>

thereof as a lamp <3940> [that] burneth <1197>.

2 And the Gentiles <1471> shall see <7200> thy righteousness

<6664>, and all <3605> kings <4428> thy glory <3519>: and thou

shalt be called <7121> by a new <2319> name <8034>, which <0834>

the mouth <6310> of the LORD <3068> shall name <8034>.

3 Thou shalt also be a crown <5850> of glory <8597> in the hand

<3027> of the LORD <3068>, and a royal <4410> diadem <6797> in

the hand <3709> of thy God <0430>.

4 Thou shalt no <3808> more <5750> be termed <0559> Forsaken

<5800>; neither <3808> shall thy land <0776> any more <5750> be

termed <0559> Desolate <8077>: but thou shalt be called <7121>

Hephzibah <2657>, and thy land <0776> Beulah <1166>: for the

LORD <3068> delighteth <2654> in thee, and thy land <0776> shall

be married <1166>.

5 For [as] a young <0970> man marrieth <1166> a virgin <1330>,

[so] shall thy sons <1121> marry <1166> thee: and [as] the

bridegroom <2860> rejoiceth <4885> over <5921> the bride <3618>,

[so] shall thy God <0430> rejoice <7797> over <5921> thee.

6. I have set <6485> watchmen <8104> upon thy walls <2346>, O

Jerusalem <3389>, [which] shall never <3808> hold <2814> their

peace <2814> day <3117> nor night <3915>: ye that make mention

<2142> of the LORD <3068>, keep not silence <1824>,

7 And give <5414> him no <0408> rest <1824>, till <5704> he

establish <3559>, and till <5704> he make <7760> Jerusalem

<3389> a praise <8416> in the earth <0776>.

8 The LORD <3068> hath sworn <7650> by his right <3225> hand

<3225>, and by the arm <2220> of his strength <5797>, Surely

<0518> I will no <0518> more <5750> give <5414> thy corn <1715>

[to be] meat <3978> for thine enemies <0341>; and the sons

<1121> of the stranger <5236> shall not drink <8354> thy wine

<8492>, for the which <0834> thou hast laboured <3021>:

9 But they that have gathered <0622> it shall eat <0398> it,

and praise <1984> the LORD <3068>; and they that have brought

<6908> it together shall drink <8354> it in the courts <2691> of

my holiness <6944>.

10. Go <5674> through <5674>, go <5674> through the gates

<8179>; prepare <6437> ye the way <1870> of the people <5971>;

cast <5549> up, cast <5549> up the highway <4546>; gather <5619>

out the stones <68>; lift <7311> up a standard <5251> for the

people <5971>.

11 Behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> hath proclaimed <8085> unto

the end <7097> of the world <0776>, Say <0559> ye to the

daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>, Behold <2009>, thy salvation

<3468> cometh <0935>; behold <2009>, his reward <7939> [is] with

him, and his work <6468> before <6440> him.

12 And they shall call <7121> them, The holy <6944> people

<5971>, The redeemed <1350> of the LORD <3068>: and thou shalt

be called <7121>, Sought <1875> out, A city <5892> not forsaken

<5800>.

Isaiah 63

1. Who <4310> [is] this <2088> that cometh <0935> from Edom

<0123>, with dyed <2556> garments <0899> from Bozrah <1224>?

this <2088> [that is] glorious <1921> in his apparel <3830>,

travelling <6808> in the greatness <7230> of his strength

<3581>? I that speak <1696> in righteousness <6666>, mighty

<7227> to save <3467>.

2 Wherefore <4069> [art thou] red <0122> in thine apparel

<3830>, and thy garments <0899> like him that treadeth <1869> in

the winefat <1660>?

3 I have trodden <1869> the winepress <6333> alone <0905>; and

of the people <5971> [there was] none with me: for I will tread

<1869> them in mine anger <0639>, and trample <7429> them in my

fury <2534>; and their blood <5332> shall be sprinkled <5137>

upon my garments <0899>, and I will stain <1351> all <3605> my

raiment <4403>.

4 For the day <3117> of vengeance <5359> [is] in mine heart

<3820>, and the year <8141> of my redeemed <1350> is come <0935>.

5 And I looked <5027>, and [there was] none <0369> to help

<5826>; and I wondered <8074> that [there was] none <0369> to

uphold <5564>: therefore mine own arm <2220> brought <3467>

salvation <3467> unto me; and my fury <2534>, it upheld <5564>

me.

6 And I will tread <0947> down the people <5971> in mine anger

<0639>, and make them drunk <7937> in my fury <2534>, and I will

bring <3381> down their strength <5332> to the earth <0776>.

7. I will mention <2142> the lovingkindnesses <2617> of the

LORD <3068>, [and] the praises <8416> of the LORD <3068>,

according <5921> to all <3605> that the LORD <3068> hath

bestowed <1580> on us, and the great <7227> goodness <2898>

toward the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, which <0834> he hath

bestowed <1580> on them according to his mercies <7356>, and

according to the multitude <7230> of his lovingkindnesses <2617>.

8 For he said <0559>, Surely <0389> they [are] my people <5971>,

children <1121> [that] will not lie <8266>: so he was their

Saviour <3467>.

9 In all <3605> their affliction <6869> he was afflicted <6862>,

and the angel <4397> of his presence <6440> saved <3467> them:

in his love <0160> and in his pity <2551> he redeemed <1350>

them; and he bare <5190> them, and carried <5375> them all

<3605> the days <3117> of old <5769>.

10 But they rebelled <4784>, and vexed <6087> his holy <6944>

Spirit <7307>: therefore he was turned <2015> to be their enemy

<0341>, [and] he fought <3898> against them.

11 Then he remembered <2142> the days <3117> of old <5769>,

Moses <4872>, [and] his people <5971>, [saying], Where <0346>

[is] he that brought <5927> them up out of the sea <3220> with

the shepherd <7462> of his flock <6629>? where <0346> [is] he

that put <7760> his holy <6944> Spirit <7307> within <7130> him?

12 That led <3212> [them] by the right <3225> hand <3225> of

Moses <4872> with his glorious <8597> arm <2220>, dividing

<1234> the water <4325> before <6440> them, to make <6213>

himself an everlasting <5769> name <8034>?

13 That led <3212> them through the deep <8415>, as an horse

<5483> in the wilderness <4057>, [that] they should not stumble

<3782>?

14 As a beast <0929> goeth <3318> down <3381> into the valley

<1237>, the Spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068> caused him to rest

<5117>: so <3651> didst thou lead <5090> thy people <5971>, to

make <6213> thyself a glorious <8597> name <8034>.

15. Look <5027> down from heaven <8064>, and behold <7200> from

the habitation <2073> of thy holiness <6944> and of thy glory

<8597>: where <0346> [is] thy zeal <7068> and thy strength

<1369>, the sounding <1995> of thy bowels <4578> and of thy

mercies <7356> toward <0413> me? are they restrained <0662>?

16 Doubtless <3588> thou [art] our father <1>, though <3588>

Abraham <85> be ignorant of us, and Israel <3478> acknowledge

<5234> us not: thou, O LORD <3068>, [art] our father <1>, our

redeemer <1350>; thy name <8034> [is] from everlasting <5769>.

17 O LORD <3068>, why <4100> hast thou made us to err <8582>

from thy ways <1870>, [and] hardened <7188> our heart <3820>

from thy fear <3374>? Return <7725> for thy servants <5650>'

sake <4616>, the tribes <7626> of thine inheritance <5159>.

18 The people <5971> of thy holiness <6944> have possessed

<3423> [it] but a little <4705> while <4705>: our adversaries

<6862> have trodden <0947> down thy sanctuary <4720>.

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

them; they were not called <7121> by thy name <8034>.

Isaiah 64

1. Oh <3863> that thou wouldest rend <7167> the heavens <8064>,

that thou wouldest come <3381> down <3381>, that the mountains

<2022> might flow <2151> down at thy presence <6440>,

2 As [when] the melting <2003> fire <0784> burneth <6919>, the

fire <0784> causeth the waters <4325> to boil <1158>, to make

thy name <8034> known <3045> to thine adversaries <6862>, [that]

the nations <1471> may tremble <7264> at thy presence <6440>!

3 When thou didst <6213> terrible <3372> things [which] we

looked <6960> not for, thou camest <3381> down <3381>, the

mountains <2022> flowed <2151> down at thy presence <6440>.

4 For since the beginning <5769> of the world <5769> [men] have

not heard <8085>, nor <3808> perceived <0238> by the ear <0238>,

neither <3808> hath the eye <5869> seen <7200>, O God <0430>,

beside <2108> thee, [what] he hath prepared <6213> for him that

waiteth <2442> for him.

5 Thou meetest <6293> him that rejoiceth <7797> and worketh

<6213> righteousness <6664>, [those that] remember <2142> thee

in thy ways <1870>: behold <2005>, thou art wroth <7107>; for we

have sinned <2398>: in those <1992> is continuance <5769>, and

we shall be saved <3467>.

6. But we are all <3605> as an unclean <2931> [thing], and all

<3605> our righteousnesses <6666> [are] as filthy <5708> rags

<0899>; and we all <3605> do fade <5034> as a leaf <5929>; and

our iniquities <5771>, like the wind <7307>, have taken <5375>

us away.

7 And [there is] none <0369> that calleth <7121> upon thy name

<8034>, that stirreth <5782> up himself to take <2388> hold

<2388> of thee: for thou hast hid <5641> thy face <6440> from us,

and hast consumed <4127> us, because <3027> of our iniquities

<5771>.

8 But now <6258>, O LORD <3068>, thou [art] our father <1>; we

[are] the clay <2563>, and thou our potter <3335>; and we all

<3605> [are] the work <4639> of thy hand <3027>.

9 Be not wroth <7107> very <3966> sore <3966>, O LORD <3068>,

neither <0408> remember <2142> iniquity <5771> for ever <5703>:

behold <2005>, see <5027>, we beseech <4994> thee, we [are] all

<3605> thy people <5971>.

10 Thy holy <6944> cities <5892> are a wilderness <4057>, Zion

<6726> is a wilderness <4057>, Jerusalem <3389> a desolation

<8077>.

11 Our holy <6944> and our beautiful <8597> house <1004>, where

<0834> our fathers <1> praised <1984> thee, is burned <8316> up

with fire <0784>: and all <3605> our pleasant <4261> things are

laid waste <2723>.

12 Wilt thou refrain <0662> thyself for these <0428> [things],

O LORD <3068>? wilt thou hold <2814> thy peace <2814>, and

afflict <6031> us very <3966> sore <3966>?

Isaiah 65

1. I am sought <1875> of [them that] asked <7592> not [for me];

I am found <4672> of [them that] sought <1245> me not: I said

<0559>, Behold <2009> me, behold <2009> me, unto a nation <1471>

[that] was not called <7121> by my name <8034>.

2 I have spread <6566> out my hands <3027> all <3605> the day

<3117> unto a rebellious <5637> people <5971>, which walketh

<1980> in a way <1870> [that was] not good <2896>, after <0310>

their own thoughts <4284>;

3 A people <5971> that provoketh me to anger <3707> continually

<8548> to my face <6440>; that sacrificeth <2076> in gardens

<1593>, and burneth <6999> incense <6999> upon altars of brick

<3843>;

4 Which remain <3427> among the graves <6913>, and lodge <3885>

in the monuments <5341>, which eat <0398> swine's <2386> flesh

<1320>, and broth <6564> of abominable <6292> [things is in]

their vessels <3627>;

5 Which <0834> say <0559>, Stand <7126> by thyself, come <5066>

not near <5066> to me; for I am holier <6942> than thou. These

<0428> [are] a smoke <6227> in my nose <0639>, a fire <0784>

that burneth <3344> all <3605> the day <3117>.

6 Behold <2009>, [it is] written <3789> before <6440> me: I

will not keep silence <2814>, but will recompense <7999>, even

recompense into <5921> their bosom <2436>,

7 Your iniquities <5771>, and the iniquities <5771> of your

fathers <1> together <3162>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, which

<0834> have burned <6999> incense <6999> upon the mountains

<2022>, and blasphemed <2778> me upon the hills <1389>:

therefore will I measure <4058> their former <7223> work <6468>

into <5921> their bosom <2436>.

8. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, As the new <8492>

wine <8492> is found <4672> in the cluster <0811>, and [one]

saith <0559>, Destroy <7843> it not; for a blessing <1293> [is]

in it: so <3651> will I do <6213> for my servants <5650>' sakes

<6616>, that I may not destroy <7843> them all <3605>.

9 And I will bring <3318> forth <3318> a seed <2233> out of

Jacob <3290>, and out of Judah <3063> an inheritor <3423> of my

mountains <2022>: and mine elect <0972> shall inherit <3423> it,

and my servants <5650> shall dwell <7931> there <8033>.

10 And Sharon <8289> shall be a fold <5116> of flocks <6629>,

and the valley <6010> of Achor <5911> a place for the herds

<1241> to lie <7258> down <7257> in, for my people <5971> that

have sought <1875> me.

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

forget <7913> my holy <6944> mountain <2022>, that prepare

<6186> a table <7979> for that troop <1409>, and that furnish

<4390> the drink <4469> offering unto that number <4507>.

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

ye shall all <3605> bow <3766> down <3766> to the slaughter

<2875>: because <3282> when I called <7121>, ye did not answer

<6030>; when I spake <1696>, ye did <6213> not hear <8085>; but

did evil <7451> before mine eyes <5869>, and did <6213> choose

<0977> [that] wherein <0834> I delighted <2654> not.

13 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>

GOD <3069>, Behold <2009>, my servants <5650> shall eat <0398>,

but ye shall be hungry <7456>: behold <2009>, my servants <5650>

shall drink <8354>, but ye shall be thirsty <6770>: behold

<2009>, my servants <5650> shall rejoice <8055>, but ye shall be

ashamed <0954>:

14 Behold <2009>, my servants <5650> shall sing <7442> for joy

<2898> of heart <3820>, but ye shall cry <6817> for sorrow

<3511> of heart <3820>, and shall howl <3213> for vexation

<7667> of spirit <7307>.

15 And ye shall leave <3241> your name <8034> for a curse

<7621> unto my chosen <0977>: for the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>

shall slay <4191> thee, and call <7121> his servants <5650> by

another <0312> name <8034>:

16 That he who <0834> blesseth <1288> himself in the earth

<0776> shall bless <1288> himself in the God <0430> of truth

<0548>; and he that sweareth <7650> in the earth <0776> shall

swear <7650> by the God <0430> of truth <0548>; because <3588>

the former <7223> troubles <6869> are forgotten <7911>, and

because <3588> they are hid <5641> from mine eyes <5869>.

17. For, behold <2005>, I create <1254> new <2319> heavens

<8064> and a new <2319> earth <0776>: and the former <7223>

shall not be remembered <2142>, nor <3808> come <5927> into

<5921> mind <3820>.

18 But be ye glad <7796> and rejoice <1523> for ever <5703> [in

that] which <0834> I create <1254>: for, behold <2005>, I create

<1254> Jerusalem <3389> a rejoicing <1525>, and her people

<5971> a joy <4885>.

19 And I will rejoice <1523> in Jerusalem <3389>, and joy

<7796> in my people <5971>: and the voice <6963> of weeping

<1065> shall be no <3808> more <5750> heard <8085> in her, nor

the voice <6963> of crying <2201>.

20 There shall be no <3808> more <5750> thence <8033> an infant

<5764> of days <3117>, nor an old <2205> man that hath not

filled <4390> his days <3117>: for the child <5288> shall die

<4191> an hundred <3967> years <8141> old <1121>; but the sinner

<2398> [being] an hundred <3967> years <8141> old <1121> shall

be accursed <7043>.

21 And they shall build <1129> houses <1004>, and inhabit

<3427> [them]; and they shall plant <5193> vineyards <3754>, and

eat <0398> the fruit <6529> of them.

22 They shall not build <1129>, and another <0312> inhabit

<3427>; they shall not plant <5193>, and another <0312> eat

<0398>: for as the days <3117> of a tree <6086> [are] the days

<3117> of my people <5971>, and mine elect <0972> shall long

enjoy <1086> the work <4639> of their hands <3027>.

23 They shall not labour <3021> in vain <7385>, nor <3808>

bring <3205> forth <3205> for trouble <0928>; for they [are] the

seed <2233> of the blessed <1288> of the LORD <3068>, and their

offspring <6631> with them.

24 And it shall come <1961> to pass, that before <2962> they

call <7121>, I will answer <6030>; and while they are yet <5750>

speaking <1696>, I will hear <8085>.

25 The wolf <2061> and the lamb <2924> shall feed <7462>

together <0259>, and the lion <0738> shall eat <0398> straw

<8401> like the bullock <1241>: and dust <6083> [shall be] the

serpent's <5175> meat <3899>. They shall not hurt <7489> nor

<3808> destroy <7843> in all <3605> my holy <6944> mountain

<2022>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.

Isaiah 66

1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, The heaven <8064>

[is] my throne <3678>, and the earth <0776> [is] my footstool:

where <0335> [is] the house <1004> that ye build <1129> unto me?

and where <0335> [is] the place <4725> of my rest <4496>?

2 For all <3605> those <0428> [things] hath mine hand <3027>

made <6213>, and all <3605> those <0428> [things] have been

<1961>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: but to this <2088> [man]

will I look <5027>, [even] to [him that is] poor <6041> and of a

contrite <5223> spirit <7307>, and trembleth <2730> at <5921> my

word <1697>.

3 He that killeth <7819> an ox <7794> [is as if] he slew <5221>

a man <0376>; he that sacrificeth <2076> a lamb <7716>, [as if]

he cut off a dog's <3611> neck <6202>; he that offereth <5927>

an oblation <4503>, [as if he offered <5927>] swine's <2386>

blood <1818>; he that burneth <2142> incense <3828>, [as if] he

blessed <1288> an idol <0205>. Yea <1571>, they have chosen

<0977> their own ways <1870>, and their soul <5315> delighteth

<2654> in their abominations <8251>.

4 I also <1571> will choose <0977> their delusions <8586>, and

will bring <0935> their fears <4035> upon them; because <3282>

when I called <7121>, none <0369> did answer <6030>; when I

spake <1696>, they did not hear <8085>: but they did <6213> evil

<7451> before mine eyes <5869>, and chose <0977> [that] in which

<0834> I delighted <2654> not.

5. Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, ye that

tremble <2730> at <0413> his word <1697>; Your brethren <0251>

that hated <8130> you, that cast <5077> you out for my name's

<8034> sake <4616>, said <0559>, Let the LORD <3068> be

glorified <3513>: but he shall appear <7200> to your joy <8057>,

and they shall be ashamed <0954>.

6 A voice <6963> of noise <7588> from the city <5892>, a voice

<6963> from the temple <1964>, a voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>

that rendereth <7999> recompence <1576> to his enemies <0341>.

7 Before <2962> she travailed <2342>, she brought <3205> forth

<3205>; before <2962> her pain <2256> came <0935>, she was

delivered <4422> of a man <2145> child.

8 Who <4310> hath heard <8085> such <2063> a thing? who <0834>

hath seen <7200> such <0428> things? Shall the earth <0776> be

made to bring <2342> forth <2342> in one <0259> day <3117>? [or]

shall a nation <1471> be born <3205> at once <6471>? for as soon

<1571> as Zion <6726> travailed <2342>, she brought <3205> forth

<3205> her children <1121>.

9 Shall I bring <7665> to the birth <7665>, and not cause to

bring <3205> forth <3205>? saith <0559> the LORD <3068>: shall I

cause to bring <3205> forth <3205>, and shut <6113> [the womb]?

saith <0559> thy God <0430>.

10 Rejoice <8055> ye with Jerusalem <3389>, and be glad <1528>

with her, all <3605> ye that love <0157> her: rejoice <7797> for

joy <4885> with her, all <3605> ye that mourn <56> for her:

11 That ye may suck <3243>, and be satisfied <7646> with the

breasts <7699> of her consolations <8575>; that ye may milk

<4711> out, and be delighted <6026> with the abundance <2123> of

her glory <3519>.

12 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>,

I will extend <5186> peace <7965> to her like a river <5104>,

and the glory <3519> of the Gentiles <1471> like a flowing

<7857> stream <5158>: then shall ye suck <3243>, ye shall be

borne <5375> upon [her] sides <6654>, and be dandled <8173> upon

[her] knees <1290>.

13 As one <0376> whom <0834> his mother <0517> comforteth

<5162>, so <3651> will I comfort <5162> you; and ye shall be

comforted <5162> in Jerusalem <3389>.

14 And when ye see <7200> [this], your heart <3820> shall

rejoice <7797>, and your bones <6106> shall flourish <6524> like

an herb <1877>: and the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068> shall be

known <3045> toward <0854> his servants <5650>, and [his]

indignation <2194> toward <0854> his enemies <0341>.

15. For, behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> will come <0935> with

fire <0784>, and with his chariots <4818> like a whirlwind

<5492>, to render <7725> his anger <0639> with fury <2534>, and

his rebuke <1606> with flames <3851> of fire <0784>.

16 For by fire <0784> and by his sword <2719> will the LORD

<3068> plead <8199> with all <3605> flesh <1320>: and the slain

<2491> of the LORD <3068> shall be many <7231>.

17 They that sanctify <6942> themselves, and purify <2891>

themselves in the gardens <1593> behind <0310> one <0259> [tree]

in the midst <8432>, eating <0398> swine's <2386> flesh <1320>,

and the abomination <8263>, and the mouse <5909>, shall be

consumed <5486> together <3162>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.

18 For I [know] their works <4639> and their thoughts <4284>:

it shall come <0935>, that I will gather <6908> all <3605>

nations <1471> and tongues <3956>; and they shall come <0935>,

and see <7200> my glory <3519>.

19 And I will set <7760> a sign <0226> among them, and I will

send <7971> those <1992> that escape <6412> of them unto the

nations <1471>, [to] Tarshish <8659>, Pul <6322>, and Lud <3865>,

that draw <4900> the bow <7198>, [to] Tubal <8422>, and Javan

<3120>, [to] the isles <0339> afar <7350> off, that have not

heard <8085> my fame <8088>, neither <3808> have seen <7200> my

glory <3519>; and they shall declare <5046> my glory <3519>

among the Gentiles <1471>.

20 And they shall bring <0935> all <3605> your brethren <0251>

[for] an offering <4503> unto the LORD <3068> out of all <3605>

nations <1471> upon horses <5483>, and in chariots <7393>, and

in litters <6632>, and upon mules <6505>, and upon swift <3753>

beasts <3753>, to my holy <6944> mountain <2022> Jerusalem

<3389>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, as the children <1121> of

Israel <3478> bring <0935> an offering <4503> in a clean <2889>

vessel <3627> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.

21 And I will also <1571> take <3947> of them for priests

<3548> [and] for Levites <3881>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.

22 For as the new <2319> heavens <8064> and the new <2319>

earth <0776>, which <0834> I will make <6213>, shall remain

<5975> before <6440> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, so <3651>

shall your seed <2233> and your name <8034> remain <5975>.

23 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] from one new <2320>

moon <2320> to another, and from one sabbath <7676> to another,

shall all <3605> flesh <1320> come <0935> to worship <7812>

before <6440> me, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.

24 And they shall go <3318> forth <3318>, and look <7200> upon

the carcases <6297> of the men <0582> that have transgressed

<6586> against me: for their worm <8438> shall not die <4191>,

neither <3808> shall their fire <0784> be quenched <3518>; and

they shall be an abhorring <1860> unto all <3605> flesh <1320>.
