11  The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz which he saw concerning 
Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz and 
Hezekiah kings of Judah .

12  Hear O heavens and give ear O earth for the LORD hath spoken 
I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled 
against me .

13  The ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib but 
Israel doth not know my people doth not consider .

14  Ah sinful nation a people laden with iniquity a seed of 
evildoers children that are corrupters they have forsaken the 
LORD they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger they 
are gone away backward .

15  Why should ye be stricken any more ye will revolt more and 
more the whole head is sick and the whole heart faint .

16  From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no 
soundness in it but wounds and bruises and putrifying sores they 
have not been closed neither bound up neither mollified with 
ointment .

17  Your country is desolate your cities are burned with fire 
your land strangers devour it in your presence and it is 
desolate as overthrown by strangers .

18  And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard 
as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers as a besieged city .

19  Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small 
remnant we should have been as Sodom and we should have been 
like unto Gomorrah .

110  Hear the word of the LORD ye rulers of Sodom give ear unto 
the law of our God ye people of Gomorrah .

111  To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me 
saith the LORD I am full of the burnt offerings of rams and the 
fat of fed beasts and I delight not in the blood of bullocks or 
of lambs or of he goats .

112  When ye come to appear before me who hath required this at 
your hand to tread my courts .

113  Bring no more vain oblations incense is an abomination unto 
me the new moons and sabbaths the calling of assemblies I cannot 
away with it is iniquity even the solemn meeting .

114  Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth 
they are a trouble unto me I am weary to bear them .

115  And when ye spread forth your hands I will hide mine eyes 
from you yea when ye make many prayers I will not hear your 
hands are full of blood .

116  Wash you make you clean put away the evil of your doings 
from before mine eyes cease to do evil .

117  Learn to do well seek judgment relieve the oppressed judge 
the fatherless plead for the widow .

118  Come now and let us reason together saith the LORD though 
your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow though 
they be red like crimson they shall be as wool .

119  If ye be willing and obedient ye shall eat the good of the 
land .

120  But if ye refuse and rebel ye shall be devoured with the 
sword for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it .

121  How is the faithful city become an harlot it was full of 
judgment righteousness lodged in it but now murderers .

122  Thy silver is become dross thy wine mixed with water .

123  Thy princes are rebellious and companions of thieves every 
one loveth gifts and followeth after rewards they judge not the 
fatherless neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them .

124  Therefore saith the Lord the LORD of hosts the mighty One 
of Israel Ah I will ease me of mine adversaries and avenge me of 
mine enemies .

125  And I will turn my hand upon thee and purely purge away thy 
dross and take away all thy tin .

126  And I will restore thy judges as at the first and thy 
counsellors as at the beginning afterward thou shalt be called 
The city of righteousness the faithful city .

127  Zion shall be redeemed with judgment and her converts with 
righteousness .

128  And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners 
shall be together and they that forsake the LORD shall be 
consumed .

129  For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired 
and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen .

130  For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth and as a garden 
that hath no water .

131  And the strong shall be as tow and the maker of it as a 
spark and they shall both burn together and none shall quench 
them .

* 21  The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah 
and Jerusalem .

22  And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain 
of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the 
mountains and shall be exalted above the hills and all nations 
shall flow unto it .

23  And many people shall go and say Come ye and let us go up to 
the mountain of the LORD to the house of the God of Jacob and he 
will teach us of his ways and we will walk in his paths for out 
of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the LORD from 
Jerusalem .�

24  And he shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many 
people and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and 
their spears into pruninghooks nation shall not lift up sword 
against nation neither shall they learn war any more .

25  O house of Jacob come ye and let us walk in the light of the 
LORD .

26  Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob 
because they be replenished from the east and are soothsayers 
like the Philistines and they please themselves in the children 
of strangers .

27  Their land also is full of silver and gold neither is there 
any end of their treasures their land is also full of horses 
neither is there any end of their chariots .

28  Their land also is full of idols they worship the work of 
their own hands that which their own fingers have made .

29  And the mean man boweth down and the great man humbleth 
himself therefore forgive them not .

210  Enter into the rock and hide thee in the dust for fear of 
the LORD and for the glory of his majesty .

211  The lofty looks of man shall be humbled and the haughtiness 
of men shall be bowed down and the LORD alone shall be exalted 
in that day .

212  For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one 
that is proud and lofty and upon every one that is lifted up and 
he shall be brought low .

213  And upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted 
up and upon all the oaks of Bashan .

214  And upon all the high mountains an .

* 31  For behold the Lord the LORD of hosts doth take away from 
Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff the whole stay 
of bread and the whole stay of water .

32  The mighty man and the man of war the judge and the prophet 
and the prudent and the ancient .

33  The captain of fifty and the honourable man and the 
counsellor and the cunning artificer and the eloquent orator .

34  And I will give children to be their princes and babes shall 
rule over them .

35  And the people shall be oppressed every one by another and 
every one by his neighbour the child shall behave himself 
proudly against the ancient and the base against the honourable .

36  When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of 
his father saying Thou hast clothing be thou our ruler and let 
this ruin be under thy hand .

37  In that day shall he swear saying I will not be an healer 
for in my house is neither bread nor clothing make me not a 
ruler of the people .

38  For Jerusalem is ruined and Judah is fallen because their 
tongue and their doings are against the LORD to provoke the eyes 
of his glory .

39  The show of their countenance doth witness against them and 
they declare their sin as Sodom they hide it not Woe unto their 
soul for they have rewarded evil unto themselves .

310  Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him for 
they shall eat the fruit of their doings .

311  Woe unto the wicked it shall be ill with him for the reward 
of his hands shall be given him .

312  As for my people children are their oppressors and women 
rule over them O my people they which lead thee cause thee to 
err and destroy the way of thy paths .

313  The LORD standeth up to plead and standeth to judge the 
people .

314  The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his 
people and the princes thereof for ye have eaten up the vineyard 
the spoil of the poor is in your houses .

315  What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces and grind the 
faces of the poor saith the Lord GOD of hosts .

316  Moreover the LORD saith Because the daughters of Zion are 
haughty and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes 
walking and mincing as they go and making a tinkling with their 
feet .

317  Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the 
head of the daughters of Zion and the LORD will discover their 
secret parts .

318  In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their 
tinkling ornaments about their feet and their cauls and their 
round tires like the moon .

319  The chains and the bracelets and the mufflers .

320  The bonnets and the ornaments of the legs and the headbands 
and the tablets and the earrings .

321  The rings and nose jewels .

322  The changeable suits of apparel and the mantles and the 
wimples and the crisping pins .

323  The glasses and the fine linen and the hoods and the veils .

324  And it shall come to pass that instead of sweet smell there 
shall be stink and instead of a girdle a rent and instead of 
well set hair baldness and instead of a stomacher a girding of 
sackcloth and burning instead of beauty .

325  Thy men shall fall by the sword and thy mighty in the war .

326  And her gates shall lament and mourn and she being desolate 
shall sit upon the ground .

* 41  And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man 
saying We will eat our own bread and wear our own apparel only 
let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach .

42  In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and 
glorious and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and 
comely for them that are escaped of Israel .

43  And it shall come to pass that he that is left in Zion and 
he that remaineth in Jerusalem shall be called holy even every 
one that is written among the living in Jerusalem .

44  When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the 
daughters of Zion and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem 
from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment and by the 
spirit of burning .

45  And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount 
Zion and upon her assemblies a cloud and smoke by day and the 
shining of a flaming fire by night for upon all the glory shall 
be a defence .

46  And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime 
from the heat and for a place of refuge and for a covert from 
storm and from rain .

* 51  Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved 
touching his vineyard My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very 
fruitful hill .

52  And he fenced it and gathered out the stones thereof and 
planted it with the choicest vine and built a tower in the midst 
of it and also made a winepress therein and he looked that it 
should bring forth grapes and it brought forth wild grapes .

53  And now O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah judge I 
pray you betwixt me and my vineyard .

54  What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have 
not done in it wherefore when I looked that it should bring 
forth grapes brought it forth wild grapes .

55  And now go to I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard 
I will take away the hedge thereof and it shall be eaten up and 
break down the wall thereof and it shall be trodden down .

56  And I will lay it waste it shall not be pruned nor digged 
but there shall come up briers and thorns I will also command 
the clouds that they rain no rain upon it .

57  For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel 
and the men of Judah his pleasant plant and he looked for 
judgment but behold oppression for righteousness but behold a 
cry .

58  Woe unto them that join house to house that lay field to 
field till there be no place that they may be placed alone in 
the midst of the earth .

59  In mine ears said the LORD of hosts Of a truth many houses 
shall be desolate even great and fair without inhabitant .

510  Yea ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath and the seed 
of an homer shall yield an ephah .

511  Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning that they 
may follow strong drink that continue until night till wine 
inflame them .

512  And the harp and the viol the tabret and pipe and wine are 
in their feasts but they regard not the work of the LORD neither 
consider the operation of his hands .

513  Therefore my people are gone into captivity because they 
have no knowledge and their honourable men are famished and 
their multitude dried up with thirst .

514  Therefore hell hath enlarged herself and opened her mouth 
without measure and their glory and their multitude and their 
pomp and he that rejoiceth shall descend into it .

515  And the mean man shall be brought down and the mighty man 
shall be humbled and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled .

516  But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment and God 
that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness .

517  Then shall the lambs feed after their manner and the waste 
places of the fat ones shall strangers eat .

518  Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity and 
sin as it were with a cart rope .

519  That say Let him make speed and hasten his work that we may 
see it and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh 
and come that we may know it .

520  Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil that put 
darkness for light and light for darkness that put bitter for 
sweet and sweet for bitter .

521  Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes and prudent 
in their own sight .

522  Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine and men of 
strength to mingle strong drink .

523  Which justify the wicked for reward and take away the 
righteousness of the righteous from him .

524  Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble and the flame 
consumeth the chaff so their root shall be as rottenness and 
their blossom shall go up as dust because they have cast away 
the law of the LORD of hosts and despised the word of the Holy 
One of Israel .�

525  Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his 
people and he hath stretched forth his hand against them and 
hath smitten them and the hills did tremble and their carcases 
were torn in the midst of the streets For all this his anger is 
not turned away but his hand is stretched out still .�

526  And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far and 
will hiss unto them from the end of the earth and behold they 
shall come with speed swiftly .

527  None shall be weary nor stumble among them none shall 
slumber nor sleep neither shall the girdle of their loins be 
loosed nor the latchet of their shoes be broken .

528  Whose arrows are sharp and all their bows bent their 
horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint and their wheels like 
a whirlwind .

529  Their roaring shall be like a lion they shall roar like 
young lions yea they shall roar and lay hold of the prey and 
shall carry it away safe and none shall deliver it .

530  And in that day they shall roar against them like the 
roaring of the sea and if one look unto the land behold darkness 
and sorrow and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof .

* 61  In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord 
sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled 
the temple .

62  Above it stood the seraphims each one had six wings with 
twain he covered his face and with twain he covered his feet and 
with twain he did fly .

63  And one cried unto another and said Holy holy holy is the 
LORD of hosts the whole earth is full of his glory .

64  And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that 
cried and the house was filled with smoke .

65  Then said I Woe is me for I am undone because I am a man of 
unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean 
lips for mine eyes have seen the King the LORD of hosts .

66  Then flew one of the seraphims unto me having a live coal in 
his hand which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar .

67  And he laid it upon my mouth and said Lo this hath touched 
thy lips and thine iniquity is taken away and thy sin purged .

68  Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying Whom shall I send 
and who will go for us Then said I Here am I send me .

69  And he said Go and tell this people Hear ye indeed but 
understand not and see ye indeed but perceive not .

610  Make the heart of this people fat and make their ears heavy 
and shut their eyes lest they see with their eyes and hear with 
their ears and understand with their heart and convert and be 
healed .

611  Then said I Lord how long And he answered Until the cities 
be wasted without inhabitant and the houses without man and the 
land be utterly desolate .

612  And the LORD have removed men far away and there be a great 
forsaking in the midst of the land .

613  But yet in it shall be a tenth and it shall return and 
shall be eaten as a teil tree and as an oak whose substance is 
in them when they cast their leaves so the holy seed shall be 
the substance thereof .

* 71  And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham 
the son of Uzziah king of Judah that Rezin the king of Syria and 
Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel went up toward 
Jerusalem to war against it but could not prevail against it .

72  And it was told the house of David saying Syria is 
confederate with Ephraim And his heart was moved and the heart 
of his people as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind .

73  Then said the LORD unto Isaiah Go forth now to meet Ahaz 
thou and Shearjashub thy son at the end of the conduit of the 
upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field .

74  And say unto him Take heed and be quiet fear not neither be 
fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands for 
the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria and of the son of Remaliah .

75  Because Syria Ephraim and the son of Remaliah have taken 
evil counsel against thee saying .

76  Let us go up against Judah and vex it and let us make a 
breach therein for us and set a king in the midst of it even the 
son of Tabeal .

77  Thus saith the Lord GOD It shall not stand neither shall it 
come to pass .

78  For the head of Syria is Damascus and the head of Damascus 
is Rezin and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be 
broken that it be not a people .

79  And the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria 
is Remaliah's son If ye will not believe surely ye shall not be 
established .

710  Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz saying .

711  Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God ask it either in the 
depth or in the height above .

712  But Ahaz said I will not ask neither will I tempt the LORD .

713  And he said Hear ye now O house of David Is it a small 
thing for you to weary men but will ye weary my God also .

714  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign Behold a 
virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name 
Immanuel .

715  Butter and honey shall he eat that he may know to refuse 
the evil and choose the good .

716  For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and 
choose the good the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken 
of both her kings .

717  The LORD shall bring upon thee and upon thy people and upon 
thy father's house days that have not come from the day that 
Ephraim departed from Judah even the king of Assyria .

718  And it shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall 
hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of 
Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria .

719  And they shall come and shall rest all of them in the 
desolate valleys and in the holes of the rocks and upon all 
thorns and upon all bushes .

720  In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is 
hired namely by them beyond the river by the king of Assyria the 
head and the hair of the feet and it shall also consume the 
beard .

721  And it shall come to pass in that day that a man shall 
nourish a young cow and two sheep .

722  And it shall come to pass for the abundance of milk that 
they shall give he shall eat butter for butter and honey shall 
every one eat that is left in the land .

723  And it shall come to pass in that day that every place 
shall be where there were a thousand vines at a thousand 
silverlings it shall even be for briers and thorns .

724  With arrows and with bows shall men come thither because 
all the land shall become briers and thorns .

725  And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock 
there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns but 
it shall be for the sending forth of oxen and for the treading 
of lesser cattle .

* 81  Moreover the LORD said unto me Take thee a great roll and 
write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz .

82  And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record Uriah the 
priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah .

83  And I went unto the prophetess and she conceived and bare a 
son Then said the LORD to me Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz .

84  For before the child shall have knowledge to cry My father 
and my mother the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria 
shall be taken away before the king of Assyria .

85  The LORD spake also unto me again saying .

86  Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that 
go softly and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son .

87  Now therefore behold the Lord bringeth up upon them the 
waters of the river strong and many even the king of Assyria and 
all his glory and he shall come up over all his channels and go 
over all his banks .

88  And he shall pass through Judah he shall overflow and go 
over he shall reach even to the neck and the stretching out of 
his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land O Immanuel .

89  Associate yourselves O ye people and ye shall be broken in 
pieces and give ear all ye of far countries gird yourselves and 
ye shall be broken in pieces gird yourselves and ye shall be 
broken in pieces .

810  Take counsel together and it shall come to nought speak the 
word and it shall not stand for God is with us .

811  For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand and 
instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people 
saying .

812  Say ye not A confederacy to all them to whom this people 
shall say A confederacy neither fear ye their fear nor be afraid 
.

813  Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself and let him be your fear 
and let him be your dread .

814  And he shall be for a sanctuary but for a stone of 
stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel 
for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem .

815  And many among them shall stumble and fall and be broken 
and be snared and be taken .

816  Bind up the testimony seal the law among my disciples .

817  And I will wait upon the LORD that hideth his face from the 
house of Jacob and I will look for him .

818  Behold I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are 
for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts which 
dwelleth in mount Zion .

819  And when they shall say unto you Seek unto them that have 
familiar spirits and unto wizards that peep and that mutter 
should not a people seek unto their God for the living to the 
dead .

820  To the law and to the testimony if they speak not according 
to this word it is because there is no light in them .

821  And they shall pass through it hardly bestead and hungry 
and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry they 
shall fret themselves and curse their king and their God and 
look upward .

822  And they shall look unto the earth and behold trouble and 
darkness dimness of anguish and they shall be driven to darkness 
.

* 91  Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her 
vexation when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of 
Zebulun and the land of Naphtali and afterward did more 
grievously afflict her by the way of the sea beyond Jordan in 
Galilee of the nations .�

92  The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light 
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death upon them 
hath the light shined .

93  Thou hast multiplied the nation and not increased the joy 
they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest and as men 
rejoice when they divide the spoil .

94  For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of 
his shoulder the rod of his oppressor as in the day of Midian .

95  For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise and 
garments rolled in blood but this shall be with burning and fuel 
of fire .

96  For unto us a child is born unto us a son is given and the 
government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be 
called Wonderful Counsellor The mighty God The everlasting 
Father The Prince of Peace .

97  Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be 
no end upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to order it 
and to establish it with judgment and with justice from 
henceforth even for ever The zeal of the LORD of hosts will 
perform this .�

98  The Lord sent a word into Jacob and it hath lighted upon 
Israel .

99  And all the people shall know even Ephraim and the 
inhabitant of Samaria that say in the pride and stoutness of 
heart .

910  The bricks are fallen down but we will build with hewn 
stones the sycamores are cut down but we will change them into 
cedars .

911  Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin 
against him and join his enemies together .

912  The Syrians before and the Philistines behind and they 
shall devour Israel with open mouth For all this his anger is 
not turned away but his hand is stretched out still .

913  For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them 
neither do they seek the LORD of hosts .

914  Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail 
branch and rush in one day .

915  The ancient and honourable he is the head and the prophet 
that teacheth lies he is the tail .

916  For the leaders of this people cause them to err and they 
that are led of them are destroyed .

917  Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men 
neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows for 
every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer and every mouth 
speaketh folly For all this his anger is not turned away but his 
hand is stretched out still .�

918  For wickedness burneth as the fire it shall devour the 
briers and thorns and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest 
and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke .

919  Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened 
and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire no man shall 
spare his brother .

920  And he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry and he 
shall eat on the left hand and they shall not be satisfied they 
shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm .

921  Manasseh Ephraim and Ephraim Manasseh and they together 
shall be against Judah For all this his anger is not turned away 
but his hand is stretched out still .

* 101  Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees and that 
write grievousness which they have prescribed .

102  To turn aside the needy from judgment and to take away the 
right from the poor of my people that widows may be their prey 
and that they may rob the fatherless .

103  And what will ye do in the day of visitation and in the 
desolation which shall come from far to whom will ye flee for 
help and where will ye leave your glory .

104  Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners and they 
shall fall under the slain For all this his anger is not turned 
away but his hand is stretched out still .

105  O Assyrian the rod of mine anger and the staff in their 
hand is mine indignation .

106  I will send him against an hypocritical nation and against 
the people of my wrath will I give him a charge to take the 
spoil and to take the prey and to tread them down like the mire 
of the streets .

107  Howbeit he meaneth not so neither doth his heart think so 
but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few .

108  For he saith Are not my princes altogether kings .

109  Is not Calno as Carchemish is not Hamath as Arpad is not 
Samaria as Damascus .

1010  As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols and whose 
graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria .

1011  Shall I not as I have done unto Samaria and her idols so 
do to Jerusalem and her idols .

1012  Wherefore it shall come to pass that when the Lord hath 
performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem I will 
punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria and 
the glory of his high looks .

1013  For he saith By the strength of my hand I have done it and 
by my wisdom for I am prudent and I have removed the bounds of 
the people and have robbed their treasures and I have put down 
the inhabitants like a valiant man .

1014  And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people 
and as one gathereth eggs that are left have I gathered all the 
earth and there was none that moved the wing or opened the mouth 
or peeped .

1015  Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth 
therewith or shall the saw magnify itself against him that 
shaketh it as if the rod should shake itself against them that 
lift it up or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it 
were no wood .�

1016  Therefore shall the Lord the Lord of hosts send among his 
fat ones leanness and under his glory he shall kindle a burning 
like the burning of a fire .

1017  And the light of Israel shall be for a fire and his Holy 
One for a flame and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his 
briers in one day .

1018  And shall consume the glory of his forest and of his 
fruitful field both soul and body and they shall be as when a 
standardbearer fainteth .

1019  And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few that 
a child may write them .

1020  And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of 
Israel and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob shall no 
more again stay upon him that smote them but shall stay upon the 
LORD the Holy One of Israel in truth .

1021  The remnant shall return even the remnant of Jacob unto 
the mighty God .

1022  For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea yet 
a remnant of them shall return the consumption decreed shall 
overflow with righteousness .

1023  For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption even 
determined in the midst of all the land .

1024  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts O my people 
that dwellest in Zion be not afraid of the Assyrian he shall 
smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his staff against thee 
after the manner of Egypt .

1025  For yet a very little while and the indignation shall 
cease and mine anger in their destruction .

1026  And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him 
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb and as 
his rod was upon the sea so shall he lift it up after the manner 
of Egypt .

1027  And it shall come to pass in that day that his burden 
shall be taken away from off thy shoulder and his yoke from off 
thy neck and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the 
anointing .

1028  He is come to Aiath he is passed to Migron at Michmash he 
hath laid up his carriages .

1029  They are gone over the passage they have taken up their 
lodging at Geba Ramah is afraid Gibeah of Saul is fled .

1030  Lift up thy voice O daughter of Gallim cause it to be 
heard unto Laish O poor Anathoth .

1031  Madmenah is removed the inhabitants of Gebim gather 
themselves to flee .

1032  As yet shall he remain at Nob that day he shall shake his 
hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion the hill of 
Jerusalem .

1033  Behold the Lord the LORD of hosts shall lop the bough with 
terror and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down and the 
haughty shall be humbled .

1034  And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron 
and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one .

* 111  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse 
and a Branch shall grow out of his roots .

112  And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him the spirit 
of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and might the 
spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD .

113  And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of 
the LORD and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes 
neither reprove after the hearing of his ears .

114  But with righteousness shall he judge the poor and reprove 
with equity for the meek of the earth and he shall smite the 
earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips 
shall he slay the wicked .

115  And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins and 
faithfulness the girdle of his reins .

116  The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb and the leopard 
shall lie down with the kid and the calf and the young lion and 
the fatling together and a little child shall lead them .

117  And the cow and the bear shall feed their young ones shall 
lie down together and the lion shall eat straw like the ox .

118  And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp and 
the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den .

119  They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain for 
the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the 
waters cover the sea .

1110  And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse which shall 
stand for an ensign of the people to it shall the Gentiles seek 
and his rest shall be glorious .

1111  And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall 
set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his 
people which shall be left from Assyria and from Egypt and from 
Pathros and from Cush and from Elam and from Shinar and from 
Hamath and from the islands of the sea .�

1112  And he shall set up an ensign for the nations and shall 
assemble the outcasts of Israel and gather together the 
dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth .

1113  The envy also of Ephraim shall depart and the adversaries 
of Judah shall be cut off Ephraim shall not envy Judah and Judah 
shall not vex Ephraim .

1114  But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines 
toward the west they shall spoil them of the east together they 
shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab and the children of 
Ammon shall obey them .

1115  And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the 
Egyptian sea and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand 
over the river and shall smite it in the seven streams and make 
men go over dryshod .

1116  And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his 
people which shall be left from Assyria like as it was to Israel 
in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt .

* 121  And in that day thou shalt say O LORD I will praise thee 
though thou wast angry with me thine anger is turned away and 
thou comfortedst me .

122  Behold God is my salvation I will trust and not be afraid 
for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song he also is 
become my salvation .

123  Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of 
salvation .

124  And in that day shall ye say Praise the LORD call upon his 
name declare his doings among the people make mention that his 
name is exalted .

125  Sing unto the LORD for he hath done excellent things this 
is known in all the earth .

126  Cry out and shout thou inhabitant of Zion for great is the 
Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee .

* 131  The burden of Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz did 
see .

132  Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain exalt the voice 
unto them shake the hand that they may go into the gates of the 
nobles .

133  I have commanded my sanctified ones I have also called my 
mighty ones for mine anger even them that rejoice in my highness 
.

134  The noise of a multitude in the mountains like as of a 
great people a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations 
gathered together the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the 
battle .

135  They come from a far country from the end of heaven even 
the LORD and the weapons of his indignation to destroy the whole 
land .

136  Howl ye for the day of the LORD is at hand it shall come as 
a destruction from the Almighty .

137  Therefore shall all hands be faint and every man's heart 
shall melt .

138  And they shall be afraid pangs and sorrows shall take hold 
of them they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth they 
shall be amazed one at another their faces shall be as flames .

139  Behold the day of the LORD cometh cruel both with wrath and 
fierce anger to lay the land desolate and he shall destroy the 
sinners thereof out of it .

1310  For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof 
shall not give their light the sun shall be darkened in his 
going forth and the moon shall not cause her light to shine .

1311  And I will punish the world for their evil and the wicked 
for their iniquity and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud 
to cease and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible .

1312  I will make a man more precious than fine gold even a man 
than the golden wedge of Ophir .

1313  Therefore I will shake the heavens and the earth shall 
remove out of her place in the wrath of the LORD of hosts and in 
the day of his fierce anger .

1314  And it shall be as the chased roe and as a sheep that no 
man taketh up they shall every man turn to his own people and 
flee every one into his own land .

1315  Every one that is found shall be thrust through and every 
one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword .

1316  Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their 
eyes their houses shall be spoiled and their wives ravished .

1317  Behold I will stir up the Medes against them which shall 
not regard silver and as for gold they shall not delight in it .

1318  Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces and 
they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb their eye shall 
not spare children .

1319  And Babylon the glory of kingdoms the beauty of the 
Chaldees' excellency shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and 
Gomorrah .

1320  It shall never be inhabited neither shall it be dwelt in 
from generation to generation neither shall the Arabian pitch 
tent there neither shall the shepherds make their fold there .

1321  But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there and their 
houses shall be full of doleful creatures and owls shall dwell 
there and satyrs shall dance there .

1322  And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their 
desolate houses and dragons in their pleasant palaces and her 
time is near to come and her days shall not be prolonged .

* 141  For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob and will yet choose 
Israel and set them in their own land and the strangers shall be 
joined with them and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob .

142  And the people shall take them and bring them to their 
place and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of 
the LORD for servants and handmaids and they shall take them 
captives whose captives they were and they shall rule over their 
oppressors .�

143  And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall 
give thee rest from thy sorrow and from thy fear and from the 
hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve .

144  That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of 
Babylon and say How hath the oppressor ceased the golden city 
ceased .

145  The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked and the 
sceptre of the rulers .

146  He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke he 
that ruled the nations in anger is persecuted and none hindereth 
.

147  The whole earth is at rest and is quiet they break forth 
into singing .

148  Yea the fir trees rejoice at thee and the cedars of Lebanon 
saying Since thou art laid down no feller is come up against us .

149  Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy 
coming it stirreth up the dead for thee even all the chief ones 
of the earth it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings 
of the nations .

1410  All they shall speak and say unto thee Art thou also 
become weak as we art thou become like unto us .

1411  Thy pomp is brought down to the grave and the noise of thy 
viols the worm is spread under thee and the worms cover thee .

1412  How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer son of the 
morning how art thou cut down to the ground which didst weaken 
the nations .

1413  For thou hast said in thine heart I will ascend into 
heaven I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will sit 
also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the 
north .

1414  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be 
like the most High .

1415  Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the 
pit .

1416  They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and 
consider thee saying Is this the man that made the earth to 
tremble that did shake kingdoms .

1417  That made the world as a wilderness and destroyed the 
cities thereof that opened not the house of his prisoners .

1418  All the kings of the nations even all of them lie in glory 
every one in his own house .

1419  But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable 
branch and as the raiment of those that are slain thrust through 
with a sword that go down to the stones of the pit as a carcase 
trodden under feet .

1420  Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial because thou 
hast destroyed thy land and slain thy people the seed of 
evildoers shall never be renowned .

1421  Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of 
their fathers that they do not rise nor possess the land nor 
fill the face of the world with cities .

1422  For I will rise up against them saith the LORD of hosts 
and cut off from Babylon the name and remnant and son and nephew 
saith the LORD .

1423  I will also make it a possession for the bittern and pools 
of water and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction saith 
the LORD of hosts .

1424  The LORD of hosts hath sworn saying Surely as I have 
thought so shall it come to pass and as I have purposed so shall 
it stand .

1425  That I will break the Assyrian in my land and upon my 
mountains tread him under foot then shall his yoke depart from 
off them and his burden depart from off their shoulders .

1426  This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth 
and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations .

1427  For the LORD of hosts hath purposed and who shall disannul 
it and his hand is stretched out and who shall turn it back .

1428  In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden .

1429  Rejoice not thou whole Palestina because the rod of him 
that smote thee is broken for out of the serpent's root shall 
come forth a cockatrice and his fruit shall be a fiery flying 
serpent .

1430  And the firstborn of the poor shall feed and the needy 
shall lie down in safety and I will kill thy root with famine 
and he shall slay thy remnant .

1431  Howl O gate cry O city thou whole Palestina art dissolved 
for there shall come from the north a smoke and none shall be 
alone in his appointed times .

1432  What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation 
That the LORD hath founded Zion and the poor of his people shall 
trust in it .

* 151  The burden of Moab Because in the night Ar of Moab is 
laid waste and brought to silence because in the night Kir of 
Moab is laid waste and brought to silence .

152  He is gone up to Bajith and to Dibon the high places to 
weep Moab shall howl over Nebo and over Medeba on all their 
heads shall be baldness and every beard cut off .

153  In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth 
on the tops of their houses and in their streets every one shall 
howl weeping abundantly .

154  And Heshbon shall cry and Elealeh their voice shall be 
heard even unto Jahaz therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall 
cry out his life shall be grievous unto him .

155  My heart shall cry out for Moab his fugitives shall flee 
unto Zoar an heifer of three years old for by the mounting up of 
Luhith with weeping shall they go it up for in the way of 
Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction .

156  For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate for the hay is 
withered away the grass faileth there is no green thing .

157  Therefore the abundance they have gotten and that which 
they have laid up shall they carry away to the brook of the 
willows .

158  For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab the 
howling thereof unto Eglaim and the howling thereof unto 
Beerelim .

159  For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood for I will 
bring more upon Dimon lions upon him that escapeth of Moab and 
upon the remnant of the land .

* 161  Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to 
the wilderness unto the mount of the daughter of Zion .

162  For it shall be that as a wandering bird cast out of the 
nest so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon .

163  Take counsel execute judgment make thy shadow as the night 
in the midst of the noonday hide the outcasts bewray not him 
that wandereth .

164  Let mine outcasts dwell with thee Moab be thou a covert to 
them from the face of the spoiler for the extortioner is at an 
end the spoiler ceaseth the oppressors are consumed out of the 
land .

165  And in mercy shall the throne be established and he shall 
sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David judging and 
seeking judgment and hasting righteousness .

166  We have heard of the pride of Moab he is very proud even of 
his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath but his lies shall 
not be so .

167  Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab every one shall howl for 
the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn surely they are 
stricken .

168  For the fields of Heshbon languish and the vine of Sibmah 
the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants 
thereof they are come even unto Jazer they wandered through the 
wilderness her branches are stretched out they are gone over the 
sea .�

169  Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine 
of Sibmah I will water thee with my tears O Heshbon and Elealeh 
for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is 
fallen .

1610  And gladness is taken away and joy out of the plentiful 
field and in the vineyards there shall be no singing neither 
shall there be shouting the treaders shall tread out no wine in 
their presses I have made their vintage shouting to cease .

1611  Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab and 
mine inward parts for Kirharesh .

1612  And it shall come to pass when it is seen that Moab is 
weary on the high place that he shall come to his sanctuary to 
pray but he shall not prevail .

1613  This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab 
since that time .

1614  But now the LORD hath spoken saying Within three years as 
the years of an hireling and the glory of Moab shall be 
contemned with all that great multitude and the remnant shall be 
very small and feeble .

* 171  The burden of Damascus Behold Damascus is taken away from 
being a city and it shall be a ruinous heap .

172  The cities of Aroer are forsaken they shall be for flocks 
which shall lie down and none shall make them afraid .

173  The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim and the kingdom 
from Damascus and the remnant of Syria they shall be as the 
glory of the children of Israel saith the LORD of hosts .

174  And in that day it shall come to pass that the glory of 
Jacob shall be made thin and the fatness of his flesh shall wax 
lean .

175  And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn 
and reapeth the ears with his arm and it shall be as he that 
gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim .

176  Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it as the shaking of 
an olive tree two or three berries in the top of the uppermost 
bough four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof 
saith the LORD God of Israel .

177  At that day shall a man look to his Maker and his eyes 
shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel .

178  And he shall not look to the altars the work of his hands 
neither shall respect that which his fingers have made either 
the groves or the images .

179  In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough 
and an uppermost branch which they left because of the children 
of Israel and there shall be desolation .

1710  Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation and 
hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength therefore 
shalt thou plant pleasant plants and shalt set it with strange 
slips .

1711  In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow and in the 
morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish but the harvest 
shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow .

1712  Woe to the multitude of many people which make a noise 
like the noise of the seas and to the rushing of nations that 
make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters .

1713  The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters but 
God shall rebuke them and they shall flee far off and shall be 
chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind and like a 
rolling thing before the whirlwind .

1714  And behold at eveningtide trouble and before the morning 
he is not This is the portion of them that spoil us and the lot 
of them that rob us .

* 181  Woe to the land shadowing with wings which is beyond the 
rivers of Ethiopia .

182  That sendeth ambassadors by the sea even in vessels of 
bulrushes upon the waters saying Go ye swift messengers to a 
nation scattered and peeled to a people terrible from their 
beginning hitherto a nation meted out and trodden down whose 
land the rivers have spoiled .�

183  All ye inhabitants of the world and dwellers on the earth 
see ye when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains and when he 
bloweth a trumpet hear ye .

184  For so the LORD said unto me I will take my rest and I will 
consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs and 
like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest .

185  For afore the harvest when the bud is perfect and the sour 
grape is ripening in the flower he shall both cut off the sprigs 
with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches .

186  They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains 
and to the beasts of the earth and the fowls shall summer upon 
them and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them .

187  In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of 
hosts of a people scattered and peeled and from a people 
terrible from their beginning hitherto a nation meted out and 
trodden under foot whose land the rivers have spoiled to the 
place of the name of the LORD of hosts the mount Zion .�

* 191  The burden of Egypt Behold the LORD rideth upon a swift 
cloud and shall come into Egypt and the idols of Egypt shall be 
moved at his presence and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the 
midst of it .

192  And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians and they 
shall fight every one against his brother and every one against 
his neighbour city against city and kingdom against kingdom .

193  And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof and 
I will destroy the counsel thereof and they shall seek to the 
idols and to the charmers and to them that have familiar spirits 
and to the wizards .

194  And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel 
lord and a fierce king shall rule over them saith the Lord the 
LORD of hosts .

195  And the waters shall fail from the sea and the river shall 
be wasted and dried up .

196  And they shall turn the rivers far away and the brooks of 
defence shall be emptied and dried up the reeds and flags shall 
wither .

197  The paper reeds by the brooks by the mouth of the brooks 
and every thing sown by the brooks shall wither be driven away 
and be no more .

198  The fishers also shall mourn and all they that cast angle 
into the brooks shall lament and they that spread nets upon the 
waters shall languish .

199  Moreover they that work in fine flax and they that weave 
networks shall be confounded .

1910  And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof all that 
make sluices and ponds for fish .

1911  Surely the princes of Zoan are fools the counsel of the 
wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish how say ye unto 
Pharaoh I am the son of the wise the son of ancient kings .

1912  Where are they where are thy wise men and let them tell 
thee now and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed 
upon Egypt .

1913  The princes of Zoan are become fools the princes of Noph 
are deceived they have also seduced Egypt even they that are the 
stay of the tribes thereof .

1914  The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst 
thereof and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof 
as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit .

1915  Neither shall there be any work for Egypt which the head 
or tail branch or rush may do .

1916  In that day shall Egypt be like unto women and it shall be 
afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD 
of hosts which he shaketh over it .

1917  And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt every 
one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself 
because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts which he hath 
determined against it .

1918  In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak 
the language of Canaan and swear to the LORD of hosts one shall 
be called The city of destruction .

1919  In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the 
midst of the land of Egypt and a pillar at the border thereof to 
the LORD .

1920  And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD 
of hosts in the land of Egypt for they shall cry unto the LORD 
because of the oppressors and he shall send them a saviour and a 
great one and he shall deliver them .

1921  And the LORD shall be known to Egypt and the Egyptians 
shall know the LORD in that day and shall do sacrifice and 
oblation yea they shall vow a vow unto the LORD and perform it .

1922  And the LORD shall smite Egypt he shall smite and heal it 
and they shall return even to the LORD and he shall be entreated 
of them and shall heal them .

1923  In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to 
Assyria and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt and the Egyptian 
into Assyria and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians .

1924  In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with 
Assyria even a blessing in the midst of the land .

1925  Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless saying Blessed be Egypt 
my people and Assyria the work of my hands and Israel mine 
inheritance .

* 201  In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod when Sargon the 
king of Assyria sent him and fought against Ashdod and took it .

202  At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz 
saying Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins and put off 
thy shoe from thy foot And he did so walking naked and barefoot .

203  And the LORD said Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked 
naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt 
and upon Ethiopia .

204  So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians 
prisoners and the Ethiopians captives young and old naked and 
barefoot even with their buttocks uncovered to the shame of 
Egypt .

205  And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their 
expectation and of Egypt their glory .

206  And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day 
Behold such is our expectation whither we flee for help to be 
delivered from the king of Assyria and how shall we escape .

* 211  The burden of the desert of the sea As whirlwinds in the 
south pass through so it cometh from the desert from a terrible 
land .

212  A grievous vision is declared unto me the treacherous 
dealer dealeth treacherously and the spoiler spoileth Go up O 
Elam besiege O Media all the sighing thereof have I made to 
cease .

213  Therefore are my loins filled with pain pangs have taken 
hold upon me as the pangs of a woman that travaileth I was bowed 
down at the hearing of it I was dismayed at the seeing of it .

214  My heart panted fearfulness affrighted me the night of my 
pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me .

215  Prepare the table watch in the watchtower eat drink arise 
ye princes and anoint the shield .

216  For thus hath the Lord said unto me Go set a watchman let 
him declare what he seeth .

217  And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen a chariot of 
asses and a chariot of camels and he hearkened diligently with 
much heed .

218  And he cried A lion My lord I stand continually upon the 
watchtower in the daytime and I am set in my ward whole nights .

219  And behold here cometh a chariot of men with a couple of 
horsemen And he answered and said Babylon is fallen is fallen 
and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the 
ground .

2110  O my threshing and the corn of my floor that which I have 
heard of the LORD of hosts the God of Israel have I declared 
unto you .

2111  The burden of Dumah He calleth to me out of Seir Watchman 
what of the night Watchman what of the night .

2112  The watchman said The morning cometh and also the night if 
ye will inquire inquire ye return come .

2113  The burden upon Arabia In the forest in Arabia shall ye 
lodge O ye travelling companies of Dedanim .

2114  The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him 
that was thirsty they prevented with their bread him that fled .

2115  For they fled from the swords from the drawn sword and 
from the bent bow and from the grievousness of war .

2116  For thus hath the Lord said unto me Within a year 
according to the years of an hireling and all the glory of Kedar 
shall fail .

2117  And the residue of the number of archers the mighty men of 
the children of Kedar shall be diminished for the LORD God of 
Israel hath spoken it .

* 221  The burden of the valley of vision What aileth thee now 
that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops .

222  Thou that art full of stirs a tumultuous city a joyous city 
thy slain men are not slain with the sword nor dead in battle .

223  All thy rulers are fled together they are bound by the 
archers all that are found in thee are bound together which have 
fled from far .

224  Therefore said I Look away from me I will weep bitterly 
labour not to comfort me because of the spoiling of the daughter 
of my people .

225  For it is a day of trouble and of treading down and of 
perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision 
breaking down the walls and of crying to the mountains .

226  And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen 
and Kir uncovered the shield .

227  And it shall come to pass that thy choicest valleys shall 
be full of chariots and the horsemen shall set themselves in 
array at the gate .

228  And he discovered the covering of Judah and thou didst look 
in that day to the armour of the house of the forest .

229  Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David that 
they are many and ye gathered together the waters of the lower 
pool .

2210  And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem and the 
houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall .

2211  Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water 
of the old pool but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof 
neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago .

2212  And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping 
and to mourning and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth .

2213  And behold joy and gladness slaying oxen and killing sheep 
eating flesh and drinking wine let us eat and drink for to 
morrow we shall die .

2214  And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts 
Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die 
saith the Lord GOD of hosts .

2215  Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts Go get thee unto this 
treasurer even unto Shebna which is over the house and say .

2216  What hast thou here and whom hast thou here that thou hast 
hewed thee out a sepulchre here as he that heweth him out a 
sepulchre on high and that graveth an habitation for himself in 
a rock .

2217  Behold the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty 
captivity and will surely cover thee .

2218  He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball 
into a large country there shalt thou die and there the chariots 
of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house .

2219  And I will drive thee from thy station and from thy state 
shall he pull thee down .

2220  And it shall come to pass in that day that I will call my 
servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah .

2221  And I will clothe him with thy robe and strengthen him 
with thy girdle and I will commit thy government into his hand 
and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to 
the house of Judah .

2222  And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his 
shoulder so he shall open and none shall shut and he shall shut 
and none shall open .

2223  And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place and he 
shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house .

2224  And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's 
house the offspring and the issue all vessels of small quantity 
from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons .

2225  In that day saith the LORD of hosts shall the nail that is 
fastened in the sure place be removed and be cut down and fall 
and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off for the LORD 
hath spoken it .

* 231  The burden of Tyre Howl ye ships of Tarshish for it is 
laid waste so that there is no house no entering in from the 
land of Chittim it is revealed to them .

232  Be still ye inhabitants of the isle thou whom the merchants 
of Zidon that pass over the sea have replenished .

233  And by great waters the seed of Sihor the harvest of the 
river is her revenue and she is a mart of nations .

234  Be thou ashamed O Zidon for the sea hath spoken even the 
strength of the sea saying I travail not nor bring forth 
children neither do I nourish up young men nor bring up virgins .

235  As at the report concerning Egypt so shall they be sorely 
pained at the report of Tyre .

236  Pass ye over to Tarshish howl ye inhabitants of the isle .

237  Is this your joyous city whose antiquity is of ancient days 
her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn .

238  Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre the crowning city 
whose merchants are princes whose traffickers are the honourable 
of the earth .

239  The LORD of hosts hath purposed it to stain the pride of 
all glory and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the 
earth .

2310  Pass through thy land as a river O daughter of Tarshish 
there is no more strength .

2311  He stretched out his hand over the sea he shook the 
kingdoms the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant 
city to destroy the strong holds thereof .

2312  And he said Thou shalt no more rejoice O thou oppressed 
virgin daughter of Zidon arise pass over to Chittim there also 
shalt thou have no rest .

2313  Behold the land of the Chaldeans this people was not till 
the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness 
they set up the towers thereof they raised up the palaces 
thereof and he brought it to ruin .

2314  Howl ye ships of Tarshish for your strength is laid waste .

2315  And it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre shall be 
forgotten seventy years according to the days of one king after 
the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot .

2316  Take an harp go about the city thou harlot that hast been 
forgotten make sweet melody sing many songs that thou mayest be 
remembered .

2317  And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years 
that the LORD will visit Tyre and she shall turn to her hire and 
shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon 
the face of the earth .

2318  And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the 
LORD it shall not be treasured nor laid up for her merchandise 
shall be for them that dwell before the LORD to eat sufficiently 
and for durable clothing .

* 241  Behold the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it 
waste and turneth it upside down and scattereth abroad the 
inhabitants thereof .

242  And it shall be as with the people so with the priest as 
with the servant so with his master as with the maid so with her 
mistress as with the buyer so with the seller as with the lender 
so with the borrower as with the taker of usury so with the 
giver of usury to him .�

243  The land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled for 
the LORD hath spoken this word .

244  The earth mourneth and fadeth away the world languisheth 
and fadeth away the haughty people of the earth do languish .

245  The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof 
because they have transgressed the laws changed the ordinance 
broken the everlasting covenant .

246  Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth and they that 
dwell therein are desolate therefore the inhabitants of the 
earth are burned and few men left .

247  The new wine mourneth the vine languisheth all the 
merryhearted do sigh .

248  The mirth of tabrets ceaseth the noise of them that rejoice 
endeth the joy of the harp ceaseth .

249  They shall not drink wine with a song strong drink shall be 
bitter to them that drink it .

2410  The city of confusion is broken down every house is shut 
up that no man may come in .

2411  There is a crying for wine in the streets all joy is 
darkened the mirth of the land is gone .

2412  In the city is left desolation and the gate is smitten 
with destruction .

2413  When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the 
people there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree and as the 
gleaning grapes when the vintage is done .

2414  They shall lift up their voice they shall sing for the 
majesty of the LORD they shall cry aloud from the sea .

2415  Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires even the name 
of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea .

2416  From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs 
even glory to the righteous But I said My leanness my leanness 
woe unto me the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously yea 
the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously .

2417  Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee O inhabitant 
of the earth .

2418  And it shall come to pass that he who fleeth from the 
noise of the fear shall fall into the pit and he that cometh up 
out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare for the 
windows from on high are open and the foundations of the earth 
do shake .�

2419  The earth is utterly broken down the earth is clean 
dissolved the earth is moved exceedingly .

2420  The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard and shall 
be removed like a cottage and the transgression thereof shall be 
heavy upon it and it shall fall and not rise again .

2421  And it shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall 
punish the host of the high ones that are on high and the kings 
of the earth upon the earth .

2422  And they shall be gathered together as prisoners are 
gathered in the pit and shall be shut up in the prison and after 
many days shall they be visited .

2423  Then the moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed when 
the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion and in Jerusalem and 
before his ancients gloriously .

* 251  O LORD thou art my God I will exalt thee I will praise 
thy name for thou hast done wonderful things thy counsels of old 
are faithfulness and truth .

252  For thou hast made of a city an heap of a defenced city a 
ruin a palace of strangers to be no city it shall never be built 
.

253  Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee the city of 
the terrible nations shall fear thee .

254  For thou hast been a strength to the poor a strength to the 
needy in his distress a refuge from the storm a shadow from the 
heat when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against 
the wall .

255  Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers as the heat in 
a dry place even the heat with the shadow of a cloud the branch 
of the terrible ones shall be brought low .

256  And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all 
people a feast of fat things a feast of wines on the lees of fat 
things full of marrow of wines on the lees well refined .

257  And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the 
covering cast over all people and the veil that is spread over 
all nations .

258  He will swallow up death in victory and the Lord GOD will 
wipe away tears from off all faces and the rebuke of his people 
shall he take away from off all the earth for the LORD hath 
spoken it .

259  And it shall be said in that day Lo this is our God we have 
waited for him and he will save us this is the LORD we have 
waited for him we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation .

2510  For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest and 
Moab shall be trodden down under him even as straw is trodden 
down for the dunghill .

2511  And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them 
as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim and he 
shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their 
hands .

2512  And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he 
bring down lay low and bring to the ground even to the dust .

* 261  In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah 
We have a strong city salvation will God appoint for walls and 
bulwarks .

262  Open ye the gates that the righteous nation which keepeth 
the truth may enter in .

263  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on 
thee because he trusteth in thee .

264  Trust ye in the LORD for ever for in the LORD JEHOVAH is 
everlasting strength .

265  For he bringeth down them that dwell on high the lofty city 
he layeth it low he layeth it low even to the ground he bringeth 
it even to the dust .

266  The foot shall tread it down even the feet of the poor and 
the steps of the needy .

267  The way of the just is uprightness thou most upright dost 
weigh the path of the just .

268  Yea in the way of thy judgments O LORD have we waited for 
thee the desire of our soul is to thy name and to the 
remembrance of thee .

269  With my soul have I desired thee in the night yea with my 
spirit within me will I seek thee early for when thy judgments 
are in the earth the inhabitants of the world will learn 
righteousness .

2610  Let favour be showed to the wicked yet will he not learn 
righteousness in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly 
and will not behold the majesty of the LORD .

2611  LORD when thy hand is lifted up they will not see but they 
shall see and be ashamed for their envy at the people yea the 
fire of thine enemies shall devour them .

2612  LORD thou wilt ordain peace for us for thou also hast 
wrought all our works in us .

2613  O LORD our God other lords beside thee have had dominion 
over us but by thee only will we make mention of thy name .

2614  They are dead they shall not live they are deceased they 
shall not rise therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them 
and made all their memory to perish .

2615  Thou hast increased the nation O LORD thou hast increased 
the nation thou art glorified thou hadst removed it far unto all 
the ends of the earth .

2616  LORD in trouble have they visited thee they poured out a 
prayer when thy chastening was upon them .

2617  Like as a woman with child that draweth near the time of 
her delivery is in pain and crieth out in her pangs so have we 
been in thy sight O LORD .

2618  We have been with child we have been in pain we have as it 
were brought forth wind we have not wrought any deliverance in 
the earth neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen .

2619  Thy dead men shall live together with my dead body shall 
they arise Awake and sing ye that dwell in dust for thy dew is 
as the dew of herbs and the earth shall cast out the dead .

2620  Come my people enter thou into thy chambers and shut thy 
doors about thee hide thyself as it were for a little moment 
until the indignation be overpast .

2621  For behold the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the 
inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity the earth also shall 
disclose her blood and shall no more cover her slain .

* 271  In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong 
sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent even leviathan 
that crooked serpent and he shall slay the dragon that is in the 
sea .

272  In that day sing ye unto her A vineyard of red wine .

273  I the LORD do keep it I will water it every moment lest any 
hurt it I will keep it night and day .

274  Fury is not in me who would set the briers and thorns 
against me in battle I would go through them I would burn them 
together .

275  Or let him take hold of my strength that he may make peace 
with me and he shall make peace with me .

276  He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root Israel 
shall blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit .

277  Hath he smitten him as he smote those that smote him or is 
he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by 
him .

278  In measure when it shooteth forth thou wilt debate with it 
he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind .

279  By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged and 
this is all the fruit to take away his sin when he maketh all 
the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder 
the groves and images shall not stand up .

2710  Yet the defenced city shall be desolate and the habitation 
forsaken and left like a wilderness there shall the calf feed 
and there shall he lie down and consume the branches thereof .

2711  When the boughs thereof are withered they shall be broken 
off the women come and set them on fire for it is a people of no 
understanding therefore he that made them will not have mercy on 
them and he that formed them will show them no favour .

2712  And it shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall 
beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt 
and ye shall be gathered one by one O ye children of Israel .

2713  And it shall come to pass in that day that the great 
trumpet shall be blown and they shall come which were ready to 
perish in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of 
Egypt and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem .

* 281  Woe to the crown of pride to the drunkards of Ephraim 
whose glorious beauty is a fading flower which are on the head 
of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine .

282  Behold the Lord hath a mighty and strong one which as a 
tempest of hail and a destroying storm as a flood of mighty 
waters overflowing shall cast down to the earth with the hand .

283  The crown of pride the drunkards of Ephraim shall be 
trodden under feet .

284  And the glorious beauty which is on the head of the fat 
valley shall be a fading flower and as the hasty fruit before 
the summer which when he that looketh upon it seeth while it is 
yet in his hand he eateth it up .

285  In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory 
and for a diadem of beauty unto the residue of his people  286  
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment and 
for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate .

287  But they also have erred through wine and through strong 
drink are out of the way the priest and the prophet have erred 
through strong drink they are swallowed up of wine they are out 
of the way through strong drink they err in vision they stumble 
in judgment .�

288  For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness so that 
there is no place clean .

289  Whom shall he teach knowledge and whom shall he make to 
understand doctrine them that are weaned from the milk and drawn 
from the breasts .

2810  For precept must be upon precept precept upon precept line 
upon line line upon line here a little and there a little .

2811  For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak 
to this people .

2812  To whom he said This is the rest wherewith ye may cause 
the weary to rest and this is the refreshing yet they would not 
hear .

2813  But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon 
precept precept upon precept line upon line line upon line here 
a little and there a little that they might go and fall backward 
and be broken and snared and taken .

2814  Wherefore hear the word of the LORD ye scornful men that 
rule this people which is in Jerusalem .

2815  Because ye have said We have made a covenant with death 
and with hell are we at agreement when the overflowing scourge 
shall pass through it shall not come unto us for we have made 
lies our refuge and under falsehood have we hid ourselves .

2816  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD Behold I lay in Zion for 
a foundation a stone a tried stone a precious corner stone a 
sure foundation he that believeth shall not make haste .

2817  Judgment also will I lay to the line and righteousness to 
the plummet and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies and 
the waters shall overflow the hiding place .

2818  And your covenant with death shall be disannulled and your 
agreement with hell shall not stand when the overflowing scourge 
shall pass through then ye shall be trodden down by it .

2819  From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you for 
morning by morning shall it pass over by day and by night and it 
shall be a vexation only to understand the report .

2820  For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself 
on it and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in 
it .

2821  For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim he shall be 
wroth as in the valley of Gibeon that he may do his work his 
strange work and bring to pass his act his strange act .

2822  Now therefore be ye not mockers lest your bands be made 
strong for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption 
even determined upon the whole earth .

2823  Give ye ear and hear my voice hearken and hear my speech .

2824  Doth the plowman plow all day to sow doth he open and 
break the clods of his ground .

2825  When he hath made plain the face thereof doth he not cast 
abroad the fitches and scatter the cummin and cast in the 
principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their 
place .

2826  For his God doth instruct him to discretion and doth teach 
him .

2827  For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing 
instrument neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin 
but the fitches are beaten out with a staff and the cummin with 
a rod .

2828  Bread corn is bruised because he will not ever be 
threshing it nor break it with the wheel of his cart nor bruise 
it with his horsemen .

2829  This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts which is 
wonderful in counsel and excellent in working .

* 291  Woe to Ariel to Ariel the city where David dwelt add ye 
year to year let them kill sacrifices .

292  Yet I will distress Ariel and there shall be heaviness and 
sorrow and it shall be unto me as Ariel .

293  And I will camp against thee round about and will lay siege 
against thee with a mount and I will raise forts against thee .

294  And thou shalt be brought down and shalt speak out of the 
ground and thy speech shall be low out of the dust and thy voice 
shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit out of the ground 
and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust .

295  Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small 
dust and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff 
that passeth away yea it shall be at an instant suddenly .

296  Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder and 
with earthquake and great noise with storm and tempest and the 
flame of devouring fire .

297  And the multitude of all the nations that fight against 
Ariel even all that fight against her and her munition and that 
distress her shall be as a dream of a night vision .

298  It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth and behold 
he eateth but he awaketh and his soul is empty or as when a 
thirsty man dreameth and behold he drinketh but he awaketh and 
behold he is faint and his soul hath appetite so shall the 
multitude of all the nations be that fight against mount Zion .�

299  Stay yourselves and wonder cry ye out and cry they are 
drunken but not with wine they stagger but not with strong drink 
.

2910  For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep 
sleep and hath closed your eyes the prophets and your rulers the 
seers hath he covered .

2911  And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a 
book that is sealed which men deliver to one that is learned 
saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I cannot for it is 
sealed .

2912  And the book is delivered to him that is not learned 
saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I am not learned .

2913  Wherefore the Lord said Forasmuch as this people draw near 
me with their mouth and with their lips do honour me but have 
removed their heart far from me and their fear toward me is 
taught by the precept of men .

2914  Therefore behold I will proceed to do a marvellous work 
among this people even a marvellous work and a wonder for the 
wisdom of their wise men shall perish and the understanding of 
their prudent men shall be hid .

2915  Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from 
the LORD and their works are in the dark and they say Who seeth 
us and who knoweth us .

2916  Surely your turning of things upside down shall be 
esteemed as the potter's clay for shall the work say of him that 
made it He made me not or shall the thing framed say of him that 
framed it He had no understanding .

2917  Is it not yet a very little while and Lebanon shall be 
turned into a fruitful field and the fruitful field shall be 
esteemed as a forest .

2918  And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book 
and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of 
darkness .

2919  The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD and the 
poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel .

2920  For the terrible one is brought to nought and the scorner 
is consumed and all that watch for iniquity are cut off .

2921  That make a man an offender for a word and lay a snare for 
him that reproveth in the gate and turn aside the just for a 
thing of nought .

2922  Therefore thus saith the LORD who redeemed Abraham 
concerning the house of Jacob Jacob shall not now be ashamed 
neither shall his face now wax pale .

2923  But when he seeth his children the work of mine hands in 
the midst of him they shall sanctify my name and sanctify the 
Holy One of Jacob and shall fear the God of Israel .

2924  They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding 
and they that murmured shall learn doctrine .

* 301  Woe to the rebellious children saith the LORD that take 
counsel but not of me and that cover with a covering but not of 
my spirit that they may add sin to sin .

302  That walk to go down into Egypt and have not asked at my 
mouth to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh and to 
trust in the shadow of Egypt .

303  Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame and 
the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion .

304  For his princes were at Zoan and his ambassadors came to 
Hanes .

305  They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit 
them nor be an help nor profit but a shame and also a reproach .

306  The burden of the beasts of the south into the land of 
trouble and anguish from whence come the young and old lion the 
viper and fiery flying serpent they will carry their riches upon 
the shoulders of young asses and their treasures upon the 
bunches of camels to a people that shall not profit them .�

307  For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose 
therefore have I cried concerning this Their strength is to sit 
still .

308  Now go write it before them in a table and note it in a 
book that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever .

309  That this is a rebellious people lying children children 
that will not hear the law of the LORD .

3010  Which say to the seers See not and to the prophets 
Prophesy not unto us right things speak unto us smooth things 
prophesy deceits .

3011  Get you out of the way turn aside out of the path cause 
the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us .

3012  Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel Because ye 
despise this word and trust in oppression and perverseness and 
stay thereon .

3013  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready 
to fall swelling out in a high wall whose breaking cometh 
suddenly at an instant .

3014  And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' 
vessel that is broken in pieces he shall not spare so that there 
shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire 
from the hearth or to take water withal out of the pit .

3015  For thus saith the Lord GOD the Holy One of Israel In 
returning and rest shall ye be saved in quietness and in 
confidence shall be your strength and ye would not .

3016  But ye said No for we will flee upon horses therefore 
shall ye flee and We will ride upon the swift therefore shall 
they that pursue you be swift .

3017  One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one at the rebuke 
of five shall ye flee till ye be left as a beacon upon the top 
of a mountain and as an ensign on an hill .

3018  And therefore will the LORD wait that he may be gracious 
unto you and therefore will he be exalted that he may have mercy 
upon you for the LORD is a God of judgment blessed are all they 
that wait for him .

3019  For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem thou shalt 
weep no more he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of 
thy cry when he shall hear it he will answer thee .

3020  And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and 
the water of affliction yet shall not thy teachers be removed 
into a corner any more but thine eyes shall see thy teachers .

3021  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee saying This 
is the way walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand and when 
ye turn to the left .

3022  Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of 
silver and the ornament of thy molten images of gold thou shalt 
cast them away as a menstruous cloth thou shalt say unto it Get 
thee hence .

3023  Then shall he give the rain of thy seed that thou shalt 
sow the ground withal and bread of the increase of the earth and 
it shall be fat and plenteous in that day shall thy cattle feed 
in large pastures .

3024  The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground 
shall eat clean provender which hath been winnowed with the 
shovel and with the fan .

3025  And there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every 
high hill rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great 
slaughter when the towers fall .

3026  Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of 
the sun and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light 
of seven days in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of 
his people and healeth the stroke of their wound .

3027  Behold the name of the LORD cometh from far burning with 
his anger and the burden thereof is heavy his lips are full of 
indignation and his tongue as a devouring fire .

3028  And his breath as an overflowing stream shall reach to the 
midst of the neck to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity 
and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people causing 
them to err .

3029  Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy solemnity 
is kept and gladness of heart as when one goeth with a pipe to 
come into the mountain of the LORD to the mighty One of Israel .

3030  And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard 
and shall show the lighting down of his arm with the indignation 
of his anger and with the flame of a devouring fire with 
scattering and tempest and hailstones .

3031  For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be 
beaten down which smote with a rod .

3032  And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass 
which the LORD shall lay upon him it shall be with tabrets and 
harps and in battles of shaking will he fight with it .

3033  For Tophet is ordained of old yea for the king it is 
prepared he hath made it deep and large the pile thereof is fire 
and much wood the breath of the LORD like a stream of brimstone 
doth kindle it .

* 311  Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help and stay on 
horses and trust in chariots because they are many and in 
horsemen because they are very strong but they look not unto the 
Holy One of Israel neither seek the LORD .

312  Yet he also is wise and will bring evil and will not call 
back his words but will arise against the house of the evildoers 
and against the help of them that work iniquity .

313  Now the Egyptians are men and not God and their horses 
flesh and not spirit When the LORD shall stretch out his hand 
both he that helpeth shall fall and he that is holpen shall fall 
down and they all shall fail together .

314  For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me Like as the lion and 
the young lion roaring on his prey when a multitude of shepherds 
is called forth against him he will not be afraid of their voice 
nor abase himself for the noise of them so shall the LORD of 
hosts come down to fight for mount Zion and for the hill thereof 
.�

315  As birds flying so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem 
defending also he will deliver it and passing over he will 
preserve it .

316  Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have 
deeply revolted .

317  For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of 
silver and his idols of gold which your own hands have made unto 
you for a sin .

318  Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword not of a mighty 
man and the sword not of a mean man shall devour him but he 
shall flee from the sword and his young men shall be discomfited 
.

319  And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear and his 
princes shall be afraid of the ensign saith the LORD whose fire 
is in Zion and his furnace in Jerusalem .

* 321  Behold a king shall reign in righteousness and princes 
shall rule in judgment .

322  And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind and a 
covert from the tempest as rivers of water in a dry place as the 
shadow of a great rock in a weary land .

323  And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim and the ears 
of them that hear shall hearken .

324  The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge and 
the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly .

325  The vile person shall be no more called liberal nor the 
churl said to be bountiful .

326  For the vile person will speak villany and his heart will 
work iniquity to practice hypocrisy and to utter error against 
the LORD to make empty the soul of the hungry and he will cause 
the drink of the thirsty to fail .

327  The instruments also of the churl are evil he deviseth 
wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words even when 
the needy speaketh right .

328  But the liberal deviseth liberal things and by liberal 
things shall he stand .

329  Rise up ye women that are at ease hear my voice ye careless 
daughters give ear unto my speech .

3210  Many days and years shall ye be troubled ye careless women 
for the vintage shall fail the gathering shall not come .

3211  Tremble ye women that are at ease be troubled ye careless 
ones strip you and make you bare and gird sackcloth upon your 
loins .

3212  They shall lament for the teats for the pleasant fields 
for the fruitful vine .

3213  Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers 
yea upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city .

3214  Because the palaces shall be forsaken the multitude of the 
city shall be left the forts and towers shall be for dens for 
ever a joy of wild asses a pasture of flocks .

3215  Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high and the 
wilderness be a fruitful field and the fruitful field be counted 
for a forest .

3216  Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness and 
righteousness remain in the fruitful field .

3217  And the work of righteousness shall be peace and the 
effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever .

3218  And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation and in 
sure dwellings and in quiet resting places .

3219  When it shall hail coming down on the forest and the city 
shall be low in a low place .

3220  Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters that send forth 
thither the feet of the ox and the ass .

* 331  Woe to thee that spoilest and thou wast not spoiled and 
dealest treacherously and they dealt not treacherously with thee 
when thou shalt cease to spoil thou shalt be spoiled and when 
thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously they shall deal 
treacherously with thee .�

332  O LORD be gracious unto us we have waited for thee be thou 
their arm every morning our salvation also in the time of 
trouble .

333  At the noise of the tumult the people fled at the lifting 
up of thyself the nations were scattered .

334  And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the 
caterpillar as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run 
upon them .

335  The LORD is exalted for he dwelleth on high he hath filled 
Zion with judgment and righteousness .

336  And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy 
times and strength of salvation the fear of the LORD is his 
treasure .

337  Behold their valiant ones shall cry without the ambassadors 
of peace shall weep bitterly .

338  The highways lie waste the wayfaring man ceaseth he hath 
broken the covenant he hath despised the cities he regardeth no 
man .

339  The earth mourneth and languisheth Lebanon is ashamed and 
hewn down Sharon is like a wilderness and Bashan and Carmel 
shake off their fruits .

3310  Now will I rise saith the LORD now will I be exalted now 
will I lift up myself .

3311  Ye shall conceive chaff ye shall bring forth stubble your 
breath as fire shall devour you .

3312  And the people shall be as the burnings of lime as thorns 
cut up shall they be burned in the fire .

3313  Hear ye that are far off what I have done and ye that are 
near acknowledge my might .

3314  The sinners in Zion are afraid fearfulness hath surprised 
the hypocrites Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire 
who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings .

3315  He that walketh righteously and speaketh uprightly he that 
despiseth the gain of oppressions that shaketh his hands from 
holding of bribes that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood 
and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil .

3316  He shall dwell on high his place of defence shall be the 
munitions of rocks bread shall be given him his waters shall be 
sure .

3317  Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty they shall 
behold the land that is very far off .

3318  Thine heart shall meditate terror Where is the scribe 
where is the receiver where is he that counted the towers .

3319  Thou shalt not see a fierce people a people of a deeper 
speech than thou canst perceive of a stammering tongue that thou 
canst not understand .

3320  Look upon Zion the city of our solemnities thine eyes 
shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation a tabernacle that shall 
not be taken down not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be 
removed neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken .

3321  But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of 
broad rivers and streams wherein shall go no galley with oars 
neither shall gallant ship pass thereby .

3322  For the LORD is our judge the LORD is our lawgiver the 
LORD is our king he will save us .

3323  Thy tacklings are loosed they could not well strengthen 
their mast they could not spread the sail then is the prey of a 
great spoil divided the lame take the prey .

3324  And the inhabitant shall not say I am sick the people that 
dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity .

* 341  Come near ye nations to hear and hearken ye people let 
the earth hear and all that is therein the world and all things 
that come forth of it .

342  For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations and his 
fury upon all their armies he hath utterly destroyed them he 
hath delivered them to the slaughter .

343  Their slain also shall be cast out and their stink shall 
come up out of their carcases and the mountains shall be melted 
with their blood .

344  And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved and the 
heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll and all their host 
shall fall down as the leaf falleth off from the vine and as a 
falling fig from the fig tree .

345  For my sword shall be bathed in heaven behold it shall come 
down upon Idumea and upon the people of my curse to judgment .

346  The sword of the LORD is filled with blood it is made fat 
with fatness and with the blood of lambs and goats with the fat 
of the kidneys of rams for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah 
and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea .

347  And the unicorns shall come down with them and the bullocks 
with the bulls and their land shall be soaked with blood and 
their dust made fat with fatness .

348  For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance and the year of 
recompenses for the controversy of Zion .

349  And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch and the 
dust thereof into brimstone and the land thereof shall become 
burning pitch .

3410  It shall not be quenched night nor day the smoke thereof 
shall go up for ever from generation to generation it shall lie 
waste none shall pass through it for ever and ever .

3411  But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it the owl 
also and the raven shall dwell in it and he shall stretch out 
upon it the line of confusion and the stones of emptiness .

3412  They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom but none 
shall be there and all her princes shall be nothing .

3413  And thorns shall come up in her palaces nettles and 
brambles in the fortresses thereof and it shall be an habitation 
of dragons and a court for owls .

3414  The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the 
wild beasts of the island and the satyr shall cry to his fellow 
the screech owl also shall rest there and find for herself a 
place of rest .

3415  There shall the great owl make her nest and lay and hatch 
and gather under her shadow there shall the vultures also be 
gathered every one with her mate .

3416  Seek ye out of the book of the LORD and read no one of 
these shall fail none shall want her mate for my mouth it hath 
commanded and his spirit it hath gathered them .

3417  And he hath cast the lot for them and his hand hath 
divided it unto them by line they shall possess it for ever from 
generation to generation shall they dwell therein .

* 351  The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for 
them and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose .

352  It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and 
singing the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it the 
excellency of Carmel and Sharon they shall see the glory of the 
LORD and the excellency of our God .

353  Strengthen ye the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees .

354  Say to them that are of a fearful heart Be strong fear not 
behold your God will come with vengeance even God with a 
recompense he will come and save you .

355  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened and the ears of 
the deaf shall be unstopped .

356  Then shall the lame man leap as an hart and the tongue of 
the dumb sing for in the wilderness shall waters break out and 
streams in the desert .

357  And the parched ground shall become a pool and the thirsty 
land springs of water in the habitation of dragons where each 
lay shall be grass with reeds and rushes .

358  And an highway shall be there and a way and it shall be 
called The way of holiness the unclean shall not pass over it 
but it shall be for those the wayfaring men though fools shall 
not err therein .

359  No lion shall be there nor any ravenous beast shall go up 
thereon it shall not be found there but the redeemed shall walk 
there .

3510  And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion 
with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads they shall 
obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away .

* 361  Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king 
Hezekiah that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all 
the defenced cities of Judah and took them .

362  And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to 
Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army And he stood by 
the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's 
field .

363  Then came forth unto him Eliakim Hilkiah's son which was 
over the house and Shebna the scribe and Joah Asaph's son the 
recorder .

364  And Rabshakeh said unto them Say ye now to Hezekiah Thus 
saith the great king the king of Assyria What confidence is this 
wherein thou trustest .

365  I say sayest thou but they are but vain words I have 
counsel and strength for war now on whom dost thou trust that 
thou rebellest against me .

366  Lo thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed on Egypt 
whereon if a man lean it will go into his hand and pierce it so 
is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him .

367  But if thou say to me We trust in the LORD our God is it 
not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken 
away and said to Judah and to Jerusalem Ye shall worship before 
this altar .

368  Now therefore give pledges I pray thee to my master the 
king of Assyria and I will give thee two thousand horses if thou 
be able on thy part to set riders upon them .

369  How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the 
least of my master's servants and put thy trust on Egypt for 
chariots and for horsemen .

3610  And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to 
destroy it the LORD said unto me Go up against this land and 
destroy it .

3611  Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh Speak 
I pray thee unto thy servants in the Syrian language for we 
understand it and speak not to us in the Jews' language in the 
ears of the people that are on the wall .

3612  But Rabshakeh said Hath my master sent me to thy master 
and to thee to speak these words hath he not sent me to the men 
that sit upon the wall that they may eat their own dung and 
drink their own piss with you .

3613  Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the 
Jews' language and said Hear ye the words of the great king the 
king of Assyria .

3614  Thus saith the king Let not Hezekiah deceive you for he 
shall not be able to deliver you .

3615  Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD saying The 
LORD will surely deliver us this city shall not be delivered 
into the hand of the king of Assyria .

3616  Hearken not to Hezekiah for thus saith the king of Assyria 
Make an agreement with me by a present and come out to me and 
eat ye every one of his vine and every one of his fig tree and 
drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern .

3617  Until I come and take you away to a land like your own 
land a land of corn and wine a land of bread and vineyards .

3618  Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you saying The LORD will 
deliver us Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his 
land out of the hand of the king of Assyria .

3619  Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad where are the gods 
of Sepharvaim and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand .

3620  Who are they among all the gods of these lands that have 
delivered their land out of my hand that the LORD should deliver 
Jerusalem out of my hand .

3621  But they held their peace and answered him not a word for 
the king's commandment was saying Answer him not .

3622  Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah that was over the 
household and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the 
recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes rent and told him the 
words of Rabshakeh .

* 371  And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard it that he 
rent his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went 
into the house of the LORD .

372  And he sent Eliakim who was over the household and Shebna 
the scribe and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth 
unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz .

373  And they said unto him Thus saith Hezekiah This day is a 
day of trouble and of rebuke and of blasphemy for the children 
are come to the birth and there is not strength to bring forth .

374  It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh 
whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the 
living God and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God 
hath heard wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is 
left .�

375  So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah .

376  And Isaiah said unto them Thus shall ye say unto your 
master Thus saith the LORD Be not afraid of the words that thou 
hast heard wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have 
blasphemed me .

377  Behold I will send a blast upon him and he shall hear a 
rumour and return to his own land and I will cause him to fall 
by the sword in his own land .

378  So Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring 
against Libnah for he had heard that he was departed from 
Lachish .

379  And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia He is 
come forth to make war with thee And when he heard it he sent 
messengers to Hezekiah saying .

3710  Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah saying Let 
not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee saying Jerusalem 
shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria .

3711  Behold thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done 
to all lands by destroying them utterly and shalt thou be 
delivered .

3712  Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my 
fathers have destroyed as Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the 
children of Eden which were in Telassar .

3713  Where is the king of Hamath and the king of Arphad and the 
king of the city of Sepharvaim Hena and Ivah .

3714  And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the 
messengers and read it and Hezekiah went up unto the house of 
the LORD and spread it before the LORD .

3715  And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD saying .

3716  O LORD of hosts God of Israel that dwellest between the 
cherubims thou art the God even thou alone of all the kingdoms 
of the earth thou hast made heaven and earth .

3717  Incline thine ear O LORD and hear open thine eyes O LORD 
and see and hear all the words of Sennacherib which hath sent to 
reproach the living God .

3718  Of a truth LORD the kings of Assyria have laid waste all 
the nations and their countries .

3719  And have cast their gods into the fire for they were no 
gods but the work of men's hands wood and stone therefore they 
have destroyed them .

3720  Now therefore O LORD our God save us from his hand that 
all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD 
even thou only .

3721  Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah saying Thus 
saith the LORD God of Israel Whereas thou hast prayed to me 
against Sennacherib king of Assyria .

3722  This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him 
The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed 
thee to scorn the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at 
thee .

3723  Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed and against whom 
hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high 
even against the Holy One of Israel .

3724  By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord and hast 
said By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height 
of the mountains to the sides of Lebanon and I will cut down the 
tall cedars thereof and the choice fir trees thereof and I will 
enter into the height of his border and the forest of his Carmel 
.�

3725  I have digged and drunk water and with the sole of my feet 
have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places .

3726  Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it and of 
ancient times that I have formed it now have I brought it to 
pass that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into 
ruinous heaps .

3727  Therefore their inhabitants were of small power they were 
dismayed and confounded they were as the grass of the field and 
as the green herb as the grass on the housetops and as corn 
blasted before it be grown up .

3728  But I know thy abode and thy going out and thy coming in 
and thy rage against me .

3729  Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into 
mine ears therefore will I put my hook in thy nose and my bridle 
in thy lips and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou 
camest .

3730  And this shall be a sign unto thee Ye shall eat this year 
such as groweth of itself and the second year that which 
springeth of the same and in the third year sow ye and reap and 
plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof .

3731  And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah 
shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward .

3732  For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant and they 
that escape out of mount Zion the zeal of the LORD of hosts 
shall do this .

3733  Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of 
Assyria He shall not come into this city nor shoot an arrow 
there nor come before it with shields nor cast a bank against it 
.

3734  By the way that he came by the same shall he return and 
shall not come into this city saith the LORD .

3735  For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake 
and for my servant David's sake .

3736  Then the angel of the LORD went forth and smote in the 
camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand 
and when they arose early in the morning behold they were all 
dead corpses .

3737  So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went and 
returned and dwelt at Nineveh .

3738  And it came to pass as he was worshipping in the house of 
Nisroch his god that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him 
with the sword and they escaped into the land of Armenia and 
Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead .

* 381  In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death And Isaiah the 
prophet the son of Amoz came unto him and said unto him Thus 
saith the LORD Set thine house in order for thou shalt die and 
not live .

382  Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed 
unto the LORD .

383  And said Remember now O LORD I beseech thee how I have 
walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart and have 
done that which is good in thy sight And Hezekiah wept sore .

384  Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah saying .

385  Go and say to Hezekiah Thus saith the LORD the God of David 
thy father I have heard thy prayer I have seen thy tears behold 
I will add unto thy days fifteen years .

386  And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of 
the king of Assyria and I will defend this city .

387  And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD that the 
LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken .

388  Behold I will bring again the shadow of the degrees which 
is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz ten degrees backward So the 
sun returned ten degrees by which degrees it was gone down .

389  The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah when he had been sick 
and was recovered of his sickness .

3810  I said in the cutting off of my days I shall go to the 
gates of the grave I am deprived of the residue of my years .

3811  I said I shall not see the LORD even the LORD in the land 
of the living I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of 
the world .

3812  Mine age is departed and is removed from me as a 
shepherd's tent I have cut off like a weaver my life he will cut 
me off with pining sickness from day even to night wilt thou 
make an end of me .

3813  I reckoned till morning that as a lion so will he break 
all my bones from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me .

3814  Like a crane or a swallow so did I chatter I did mourn as 
a dove mine eyes fail with looking upward O LORD I am oppressed 
undertake for me .

3815  What shall I say he hath both spoken unto me and himself 
hath done it I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of 
my soul .

3816  O Lord by these things men live and in all these things is 
the life of my spirit so wilt thou recover me and make me to 
live .

3817  Behold for peace I had great bitterness but thou hast in 
love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption for thou 
hast cast all my sins behind thy back .

3818  For the grave cannot praise thee death can not celebrate 
thee they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth .

3819  The living the living he shall praise thee as I do this 
day the father to the children shall make known thy truth .

3820  The LORD was ready to save me therefore we will sing my 
songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in 
the house of the LORD .

3821  For Isaiah had said Let them take a lump of figs and lay 
it for a plaster upon the boil and he shall recover .

3822  Hezekiah also had said What is the sign that I shall go up 
to the house of the LORD .

* 391  At that time Merodachbaladan the son of Baladan king of 
Babylon sent letters and a present to Hezekiah for he had heard 
that he had been sick and was recovered .

392  And Hezekiah was glad of them and showed them the house of 
his precious things the silver and the gold and the spices and 
the precious ointment and all the house of his armour and all 
that was found in his treasures there was nothing in his house 
nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah showed them not .�

393  Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah and said 
unto him What said these men and from whence came they unto thee 
And Hezekiah said They are come from a far country unto me even 
from Babylon .

394  Then said he What have they seen in thine house And 
Hezekiah answered All that is in mine house have they seen there 
is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them .

395  Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah Hear the word of the LORD of 
hosts .

396  Behold the days come that all that is in thine house and 
that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day 
shall be carried to Babylon nothing shall be left saith the LORD 
.

397  And of thy sons that shall issue from thee which thou shalt 
beget shall they take away and they shall be eunuchs in the 
palace of the king of Babylon .

398  Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah Good is the word of the LORD 
which thou hast spoken He said moreover For there shall be peace 
and truth in my days .

* 401  Comfort ye comfort ye my people saith your God .

402  Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem and cry unto her that her 
warfare is accomplished that her iniquity is pardoned for she 
hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins .

403  The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness Prepare ye 
the way of the LORD make straight in the desert a highway for 
our God .

404  Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill 
shall be made low and the crooked shall be made straight and the 
rough places plain .

405  And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed and all flesh 
shall see it together for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it .

406  The voice said Cry And he said What shall I cry All flesh 
is grass and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the 
field .

407  The grass withereth the flower fadeth because the spirit of 
the LORD bloweth upon it surely the people is grass .

408  The grass withereth the flower fadeth but the word of our 
God shall stand for ever .

409  O Zion that bringest good tidings get thee up into the high 
mountain O Jerusalem that bringest good tidings lift up thy 
voice with strength lift it up be not afraid say unto the cities 
of Judah Behold your God .

4010  Behold the Lord GOD will come with strong hand and his arm 
shall rule for him behold his reward is with him and his work 
before him .

4011  He shall feed his flock like a shepherd he shall gather 
the lambs with his arm and carry them in his bosom and shall 
gently lead those that are with young .

4012  Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and 
meted out heaven with the span and comprehended the dust of the 
earth in a measure and weighed the mountains in scales and the 
hills in a balance .

4013  Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD or being his 
counsellor hath taught him .

4014  With whom took he counsel and who instructed him and 
taught him in the path of judgment and taught him knowledge and 
showed to him the way of understanding .

4015  Behold the nations are as a drop of a bucket and are 
counted as the small dust of the balance behold he taketh up the 
isles as a very little thing .

4016  And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn nor the beasts 
thereof sufficient for a burnt offering .

4017  All nations before him are as nothing and they are counted 
to him less than nothing and vanity .

4018  To whom then will ye liken God or what likeness will ye 
compare unto him .

4019  The workman melteth a graven image and the goldsmith 
spreadeth it over with gold and casteth silver chains .

4020  He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation 
chooseth a tree that will not rot he seeketh unto him a cunning 
workman to prepare a graven image that shall not be moved .

4021  Have ye not known have ye not heard hath it not been told 
you from the beginning have ye not understood from the 
foundations of the earth .

4022  It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth and the 
inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers that stretcheth out the 
heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell 
in .

4023  That bringeth the princes to nothing he maketh the judges 
of the earth as vanity .

4024  Yea they shall not be planted yea they shall not be sown 
yea their stock shall not take root in the earth and he shall 
also blow upon them and they shall wither and the whirlwind 
shall take them away as stubble .

4025  To whom then will ye liken me or shall I be equal saith 
the Holy One .

4026  Lift up your eyes on high and behold who hath created 
these things that bringeth out their host by number he calleth 
them all by names by the greatness of his might for that he is 
strong in power not one faileth .

4027  Why sayest thou O Jacob and speakest O Israel My way is 
hid from the LORD and my judgment is passed over from my God .

4028  Hast thou not known hast thou not heard that the 
everlasting God the LORD the Creator of the ends of the earth 
fainteth not neither is weary there is no searching of his 
understanding .

4029  He giveth power to the faint and to them that have no 
might he increaseth strength .

4030  Even the youths shall faint and be weary and the young men 
shall utterly fall .

4031  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their 
strength they shall mount up with wings as eagles they shall run 
and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint .

* 411  Keep silence before me O islands and let the people renew 
their strength let them come near then let them speak let us 
come near together to judgment .

412  Who raised up the righteous man from the east called him to 
his foot gave the nations before him and made him rule over 
kings he gave them as the dust to his sword and as driven 
stubble to his bow .

413  He pursued them and passed safely even by the way that he 
had not gone with his feet .

414  Who hath wrought and done it calling the generations from 
the beginning I the LORD the first and with the last I am he .

415  The isles saw it and feared the ends of the earth were 
afraid drew near and came .

416  They helped every one his neighbour and every one said to 
his brother Be of good courage .

417  So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith and he that 
smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil saying It is 
ready for the soldering and he fastened it with nails that it 
should not be moved .

418  But thou Israel art my servant Jacob whom I have chosen the 
seed of Abraham my friend .

419  Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth and 
called thee from the chief men thereof and said unto thee Thou 
art my servant I have chosen thee and not cast thee away .

4110  Fear thou not for I am with thee be not dismayed for I am 
thy God I will strengthen thee yea I will help thee yea I will 
uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness .

4111  Behold all they that were incensed against thee shall be 
ashamed and confounded they shall be as nothing and they that 
strive with thee shall perish .

4112  Thou shalt seek them and shalt not find them even them 
that contended with thee they that war against thee shall be as 
nothing and as a thing of nought .

4113  For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand saying 
unto thee Fear not I will help thee .

4114  Fear not thou worm Jacob and ye men of Israel I will help 
thee saith the LORD and thy redeemer the Holy One of Israel .

4115  Behold I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument 
having teeth thou shalt thresh the mountains and beat them small 
and shalt make the hills as chaff .

4116  Thou shalt fan them and the wind shall carry them away and 
the whirlwind shall scatter them and thou shalt rejoice in the 
LORD and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel .

4117  When the poor and needy seek water and there is none and 
their tongue faileth for thirst I the LORD will hear them I the 
God of Israel will not forsake them .

4118  I will open rivers in high places and fountains in the 
midst of the valleys I will make the wilderness a pool of water 
and the dry land springs of water .

4119  I will plant in the wilderness the cedar the shittah tree 
and the myrtle and the oil tree I will set in the desert the fir 
tree and the pine and the box tree together .

4120  That they may see and know and consider and understand 
together that the hand of the LORD hath done this and the Holy 
One of Israel hath created it .

4121  Produce your cause saith the LORD bring forth your strong 
reasons saith the King of Jacob .

4122  Let them bring them forth and show us what shall happen 
let them show the former things what they be that we may 
consider them and know the latter end of them or declare us 
things for to come .

4123  Show the things that are to come hereafter that we may 
know that ye are gods yea do good or do evil that we may be 
dismayed and behold it together .

4124  Behold ye are of nothing and your work of nought an 
abomination is he that chooseth you .

4125  I have raised up one from the north and he shall come from 
the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name and he shall 
come upon princes as upon mortar and as the potter treadeth clay 
.

4126  Who hath declared from the beginning that we may know and 
beforetime that we may say He is righteous yea there is none 
that showeth yea there is none that declareth yea there is none 
that heareth your words .

4127  The first shall say to Zion Behold behold them and I will 
give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings .

4128  For I beheld and there was no man even among them and 
there was no counsellor that when I asked of them could answer a 
word .

4129  Behold they are all vanity their works are nothing their 
molten images are wind and confusion .

* 421  Behold my servant whom I uphold mine elect in whom my 
soul delighteth I have put my spirit upon him he shall bring 
forth judgment to the Gentiles .

422  He shall not cry nor lift up nor cause his voice to be 
heard in the street .

423  A bruised reed shall he not break and the smoking flax 
shall he not quench he shall bring forth judgment unto truth .

424  He shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set 
judgment in the earth and the isles shall wait for his law .

425  Thus saith God the LORD he that created the heavens and 
stretched them out he that spread forth the earth and that which 
cometh out of it he that giveth breath unto the people upon it 
and spirit to them that walk therein .

426  I the LORD have called thee in righteousness and will hold 
thine hand and will keep thee and give thee for a covenant of 
the people for a light of the Gentiles .

427  To open the blind eyes to bring out the prisoners from the 
prison and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house .

428  I am the LORD that is my name and my glory will I not give 
to another neither my praise to graven images .

429  Behold the former things are come to pass and new things do 
I declare before they spring forth I tell you of them .

4210  Sing unto the LORD a new song and his praise from the end 
of the earth ye that go down to the sea and all that is therein 
the isles and the inhabitants thereof .

4211  Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their 
voice the villages that Kedar doth inhabit let the inhabitants 
of the rock sing let them shout from the top of the mountains .

4212  Let them give glory unto the LORD and declare his praise 
in the islands .

4213  The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man he shall stir up 
jealousy like a man of war he shall cry yea roar he shall 
prevail against his enemies .

4214  I have long time holden my peace I have been still and 
refrained myself now will I cry like a travailing woman I will 
destroy and devour at once .

4215  I will make waste mountains and hills and dry up all their 
herbs and I will make the rivers islands and I will dry up the 
pools .

4216  And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not I 
will lead them in paths that they have not known I will make 
darkness light before them and crooked things straight These 
things will I do unto them and not forsake them .

4217  They shall be turned back they shall be greatly ashamed 
that trust in graven images that say to the molten images Ye are 
our gods .

4218  Hear ye deaf and look ye blind that ye may see .

4219  Who is blind but my servant or deaf as my messenger that I 
sent who is blind as he that is perfect and blind as the LORD's 
servant .

4220  Seeing many things but thou observest not opening the ears 
but he heareth not .

4221  The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake he 
will magnify the law and make it honourable .

4222  But this is a people robbed and spoiled they are all of 
them snared in holes and they are hid in prison houses they are 
for a prey and none delivereth for a spoil and none saith 
Restore .

4223  Who among you will give ear to this who will hearken and 
hear for the time to come .

4224  Who gave Jacob for a spoil and Israel to the robbers did 
not the LORD he against whom we have sinned for they would not 
walk in his ways neither were they obedient unto his law .

4225  Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger 
and the strength of battle and it hath set him on fire round 
about yet he knew not and it burned him yet he laid it not to 
heart .

* 431  But now thus saith the LORD that created thee O Jacob and 
he that formed thee O Israel Fear not for I have redeemed thee I 
have called thee by thy name thou art mine .

432  When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee 
and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee when thou 
walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned neither shall 
the flame kindle upon thee .

433  For I am the LORD thy God the Holy One of Israel thy 
Saviour I gave Egypt for thy ransom Ethiopia and Seba for thee .

434  Since thou wast precious in my sight thou hast been 
honourable and I have loved thee therefore will I give men for 
thee and people for thy life .

435  Fear not for I am with thee I will bring thy seed from the 
east and gather thee from the west .

436  I will say to the north Give up and to the south Keep not 
back bring my sons from far and my daughters from the ends of 
the earth .

437  Even every one that is called by my name for I have created 
him for my glory I have formed him yea I have made him .

438  Bring forth the blind people that have eyes and the deaf 
that have ears .

439  Let all the nations be gathered together and let the people 
be assembled who among them can declare this and show us former 
things let them bring forth their witnesses that they may be 
justified or let them hear and say It is truth .

4310  Ye are my witnesses saith the LORD and my servant whom I 
have chosen that ye may know and believe me and understand that 
I am he before me there was no God formed neither shall there be 
after me .

4311  I even I am the LORD and beside me there is no saviour .

4312  I have declared and have saved and I have showed when 
there was no strange god among you therefore ye are my witnesses 
saith the LORD that I am God .

4313  Yea before the day was I am he and there is none that can 
deliver out of my hand I will work and who shall let it .

4314  Thus saith the LORD your redeemer the Holy One of Israel 
For your sake I have sent to Babylon and have brought down all 
their nobles and the Chaldeans whose cry is in the ships .

4315  I am the LORD your Holy One the creator of Israel your 
King .

4316  Thus saith the LORD which maketh a way in the sea and a 
path in the mighty waters .

4317  Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse the army and 
the power they shall lie down together they shall not rise they 
are extinct they are quenched as tow .

4318  Remember ye not the former things neither consider the 
things of old .

4319  Behold I will do a new thing now it shall spring forth 
shall ye not know it I will even make a way in the wilderness 
and rivers in the desert .

4320  The beast of the field shall honour me the dragons and the 
owls because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the 
desert to give drink to my people my chosen .

4321  This people have I formed for myself they shall show forth 
my praise .

4322  But thou hast not called upon me O Jacob but thou hast 
been weary of me O Israel .

4323  Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt 
offerings neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices I 
have not caused thee to serve with an offering nor wearied thee 
with incense .

4324  Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money neither hast 
thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices but thou hast made 
me to serve with thy sins thou hast wearied me with thine 
iniquities .

4325  I even I am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for 
mine own sake and will not remember thy sins .

4326  Put me in remembrance let us plead together declare thou 
that thou mayest be justified .

4327  Thy first father hath sinned and thy teachers have 
transgressed against me .

4328  Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary and 
have given Jacob to the curse and Israel to reproaches .

* 441  Yet now hear O Jacob my servant and Israel whom I have 
chosen .

442  Thus saith the LORD that made thee and formed thee from the 
womb which will help thee Fear not O Jacob my servant and thou 
Jesurun whom I have chosen .

443  For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty and floods 
upon the dry ground I will pour my spirit upon thy seed and my 
blessing upon thine offspring .

444  And they shall spring up as among the grass as willows by 
the water courses .

445  One shall say I am the LORD's and another shall call 
himself by the name of Jacob and another shall subscribe with 
his hand unto the LORD and surname himself by the name of Israel 
.

446  Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the 
LORD of hosts I am the first and I am the last and beside me 
there is no God .

447  And who as I shall call and shall declare it and set it in 
order for me since I appointed the ancient people and the things 
that are coming and shall come let them show unto them .

448  Fear ye not neither be afraid have not I told thee from 
that time and have declared it ye are even my witnesses Is there 
a God beside me yea there is no God I know not any .

449  They that make a graven image are all of them vanity and 
their delectable things shall not profit and they are their own 
witnesses they see not nor know that they may be ashamed .

4410  Who hath formed a god or molten a graven image that is 
profitable for nothing .

4411  Behold all his fellows shall be ashamed and the workmen 
they are of men let them all be gathered together let them stand 
up yet they shall fear and they shall be ashamed together .

4412  The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals and 
fashioneth it with hammers and worketh it with the strength of 
his arms yea he is hungry and his strength faileth he drinketh 
no water and is faint .

4413  The carpenter stretcheth out his rule he marketh it out 
with a line he fitteth it with planes and he marketh it out with 
the compass and maketh it after the figure of a man according to 
the beauty of a man that it may remain in the house .

4414  He heweth him down cedars and taketh the cypress and the 
oak which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the 
forest he planteth an ash and the rain doth nourish it .

4415  Then shall it be for a man to burn for he will take 
thereof and warm himself yea he kindleth it and baketh bread yea 
he maketh a god and worshippeth it he maketh it a graven image 
and falleth down thereto .

4416  He burneth part thereof in the fire with part thereof he 
eateth flesh he roasteth roast and is satisfied yea he warmeth 
himself and saith Aha I am warm I have seen the fire .

4417  And the residue thereof he maketh a god even his graven 
image he falleth down unto it and worshippeth it and prayeth 
unto it and saith Deliver me for thou art my god .

4418  They have not known nor understood for he hath shut their 
eyes that they cannot see and their hearts that they cannot 
understand .

4419  And none considereth in his heart neither is there 
knowledge nor understanding to say I have burned part of it in 
the fire yea also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof I 
have roasted flesh and eaten it and shall I make the residue 
thereof an abomination shall I fall down to the stock of a tree .
�

4420  He feedeth on ashes a deceived heart hath turned him aside 
that he cannot deliver his soul nor say Is there not a lie in my 
right hand .

4421  Remember these O Jacob and Israel for thou art my servant 
I have formed thee thou art my servant O Israel thou shalt not 
be forgotten of me .

4422  I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions and 
as a cloud thy sins return unto me for I have redeemed thee .

4423  Sing O ye heavens for the LORD hath done it shout ye lower 
parts of the earth break forth into singing ye mountains O 
forest and every tree therein for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob 
and glorified himself in Israel .

4424  Thus saith the LORD thy redeemer and he that formed thee 
from the womb I am the LORD that maketh all things that 
stretcheth forth the heavens alone that spreadeth abroad the 
earth by myself .

4425  That frustrateth the tokens of the liars and maketh 
diviners mad that turneth wise men backward and maketh their 
knowledge foolish .

4426  That confirmeth the word of his servant and performeth the 
counsel of his messengers that saith to Jerusalem Thou shalt be 
inhabited and to the cities of Judah Ye shall be built and I 
will raise up the decayed places thereof .

4427  That saith to the deep Be dry and I will dry up thy rivers 
.

4428  That saith of Cyrus He is my shepherd and shall perform 
all my pleasure even saying to Jerusalem Thou shalt be built and 
to the temple Thy foundation shall be laid .

* 451  Thus saith the LORD to his anointed to Cyrus whose right 
hand I have holden to subdue nations before him and I will loose 
the loins of kings to open before him the two leaved gates and 
the gates shall not be shut .

452  I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight 
I will break in pieces the gates of brass and cut in sunder the 
bars of iron .

453  And I will give thee the treasures of darkness and hidden 
riches of secret places that thou mayest know that I the LORD 
which call thee by thy name am the God of Israel .

454  For Jacob my servant's sake and Israel mine elect I have 
even called thee by thy name I have surnamed thee though thou 
hast not known me .

455  I am the LORD and there is none else there is no God beside 
me I girded thee though thou hast not known me .

456  That they may know from the rising of the sun and from the 
west that there is none beside me I am the LORD and there is 
none else .

457  I form the light and create darkness I make peace and 
create evil I the LORD do all these things .

458  Drop down ye heavens from above and let the skies pour down 
righteousness let the earth open and let them bring forth 
salvation and let righteousness spring up together I the LORD 
have created it .

459  Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker Let the potsherd 
strive with the potsherds of the earth Shall the clay say to him 
that fashioneth it What makest thou or thy work He hath no hands 
.

4510  Woe unto him that saith unto his father What begettest 
thou or to the woman What hast thou brought forth .

4511  Thus saith the LORD the Holy One of Israel and his Maker 
Ask me of things to come concerning my sons and concerning the 
work of my hands command ye me .

4512  I have made the earth and created man upon it I even my 
hands have stretched out the heavens and all their host have I 
commanded .

4513  I have raised him up in righteousness and I will direct 
all his ways he shall build my city and he shall let go my 
captives not for price nor reward saith the LORD of hosts .

4514  Thus saith the LORD The labour of Egypt and merchandise of 
Ethiopia and of the Sabeans men of stature shall come over unto 
thee and they shall be thine they shall come after thee in 
chains they shall come over and they shall fall down unto thee 
they shall make supplication unto thee saying Surely God is in 
thee and there is none else there is no God .�

4515  Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself O God of Israel 
the Saviour .

4516  They shall be ashamed and also confounded all of them they 
shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols .

4517  But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting 
salvation ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without 
end .

4518  For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens God 
himself that formed the earth and made it he hath established it 
he created it not in vain he formed it to be inhabited I am the 
LORD and there is none else .

4519  I have not spoken in secret in a dark place of the earth I 
said not unto the seed of Jacob Seek ye me in vain I the LORD 
speak righteousness I declare things that are right .

4520  Assemble yourselves and come draw near together ye that 
are escaped of the nations they have no knowledge that set up 
the wood of their graven image and pray unto a god that cannot 
save .

4521  Tell ye and bring them near yea let them take counsel 
together who hath declared this from ancient time who hath told 
it from that time have not I the LORD and there is no God else 
beside me a just God and a Saviour there is none beside me .

4522  Look unto me and be ye saved all the ends of the earth for 
I am God and there is none else .

4523  I have sworn by myself the word is gone out of my mouth in 
righteousness and shall not return That unto me every knee shall 
bow every tongue shall swear .

4524  Surely shall one say in the LORD have I righteousness and 
strength even to him shall men come and all that are incensed 
against him shall be ashamed .

4525  In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified and 
shall glory .

* 461  Bel boweth down Nebo stoopeth their idols were upon the 
beasts and upon the cattle your carriages were heavy loaden they 
are a burden to the weary beast .

462  They stoop they bow down together they could not deliver 
the burden but themselves are gone into captivity .

463  Hearken unto me O house of Jacob and all the remnant of the 
house of Israel which are borne by me from the belly which are 
carried from the womb .

464  And even to your old age I am he and even to hoar hairs 
will I carry you I have made and I will bear even I will carry 
and will deliver you .

465  To whom will ye liken me and make me equal and compare me 
that we may be like .

466  They lavish gold out of the bag and weigh silver in the 
balance and hire a goldsmith and he maketh it a god they fall 
down yea they worship .

467  They bear him upon the shoulder they carry him and set him 
in his place and he standeth from his place shall he not remove 
yea one shall cry unto him yet can he not answer nor save him 
out of his trouble .

468  Remember this and show yourselves men bring it again to 
mind O ye transgressors .

469  Remember the former things of old for I am God and there is 
none else I am God and there is none like me .

4610  Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient 
times the things that are not yet done saying My counsel shall 
stand and I will do all my pleasure .

4611  Calling a ravenous bird from the east the man that 
executeth my counsel from a far country yea I have spoken it I 
will also bring it to pass I have purposed it I will also do it .

4612  Hearken unto me ye stouthearted that are far from 
righteousness .

4613  I bring near my righteousness it shall not be far off and 
my salvation shall not tarry and I will place salvation in Zion 
for Israel my glory .

* 471  Come down and sit in the dust O virgin daughter of 
Babylon sit on the ground there is no throne O daughter of the 
Chaldeans for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate .

472  Take the millstones and grind meal uncover thy locks make 
bare the leg uncover the thigh pass over the rivers .

473  Thy nakedness shall be uncovered yea thy shame shall be 
seen I will take vengeance and I will not meet thee as a man .

474  As for our redeemer the LORD of hosts is his name the Holy 
One of Israel .

475  Sit thou silent and get thee into darkness O daughter of 
the Chaldeans for thou shalt no more be called The lady of 
kingdoms .

476  I was wroth with my people I have polluted mine inheritance 
and given them into thine hand thou didst show them no mercy 
upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke .

477  And thou saidst I shall be a lady for ever so that thou 
didst not lay these things to thy heart neither didst remember 
the latter end of it .

478  Therefore hear now this thou that art given to pleasures 
that dwellest carelessly that sayest in thine heart I am and 
none else beside me I shall not sit as a widow neither shall I 
know the loss of children .

479  But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one 
day the loss of children and widowhood they shall come upon thee 
in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries and for 
the great abundance of thine enchantments .

4710  For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness thou hast said 
None seeth me Thy wisdom and thy knowledge it hath perverted 
thee and thou hast said in thine heart I am and none else beside 
me .

4711  Therefore shall evil come upon thee thou shalt not know 
from whence it riseth and mischief shall fall upon thee thou 
shalt not be able to put it off and desolation shall come upon 
thee suddenly which thou shalt not know .

4712  Stand now with thine enchantments and with the multitude 
of thy sorceries wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth if so 
be thou shalt be able to profit if so be thou mayest prevail .

4713  Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels Let now 
the astrologers the stargazers the monthly prognosticators stand 
up and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee .

4714  Behold they shall be as stubble the fire shall burn them 
they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame 
there shall not be a coal to warm at nor fire to sit before it .

4715  Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured 
even thy merchants from thy youth they shall wander every one to 
his quarter none shall save thee .

* 481  Hear ye this O house of Jacob which are called by the 
name of Israel and are come forth out of the waters of Judah 
which swear by the name of the LORD and make mention of the God 
of Israel but not in truth nor in righteousness .

482  For they call themselves of the holy city and stay 
themselves upon the God of Israel The LORD of hosts is his name .

483  I have declared the former things from the beginning and 
they went forth out of my mouth and I showed them I did them 
suddenly and they came to pass .

484  Because I knew that thou art obstinate and thy neck is an 
iron sinew and thy brow brass .

485  I have even from the beginning declared it to thee before 
it came to pass I showed it thee lest thou shouldest say Mine 
idol hath done them and my graven image and my molten image hath 
commanded them .

486  Thou hast heard see all this and will not ye declare it I 
have showed thee new things from this time even hidden things 
and thou didst not know them .

487  They are created now and not from the beginning even before 
the day when thou heardest them not lest thou shouldest say 
Behold I knew them .

488  Yea thou heardest not yea thou knewest not yea from that 
time that thine ear was not opened for I knew that thou wouldest 
deal very treacherously and wast called a transgressor from the 
womb .

489  For my name's sake will I defer mine anger and for my 
praise will I refrain for thee that I cut thee not off .

4810  Behold I have refined thee but not with silver I have 
chosen thee in the furnace of affliction .

4811  For mine own sake even for mine own sake will I do it for 
how should my name be polluted and I will not give my glory unto 
another .

4812  Hearken unto me O Jacob and Israel my called I am he I am 
the first I also am the last .

4813  Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth and 
my right hand hath spanned the heavens when I call unto them 
they stand up together .

4814  All ye assemble yourselves and hear which among them hath 
declared these things The LORD hath loved him he will do his 
pleasure on Babylon and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans .

4815  I even I have spoken yea I have called him I have brought 
him and he shall make his way prosperous .

4816  Come ye near unto me hear ye this I have not spoken in 
secret from the beginning from the time that it was there am I 
and now the Lord GOD and his Spirit hath sent me .

4817  Thus saith the LORD thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel I 
am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit which leadeth 
thee by the way that thou shouldest go .

4818  O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments then had 
thy peace been as a river and thy righteousness as the waves of 
the sea .

4819  Thy seed also had been as the sand and the offspring of 
thy bowels like the gravel thereof his name should not have been 
cut off nor destroyed from before me .

4820  Go ye forth of Babylon flee ye from the Chaldeans with a 
voice of singing declare ye tell this utter it even to the end 
of the earth say ye The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob .

4821  And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts 
he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them he clave 
the rock also and the waters gushed out .

4822  There is no peace saith the LORD unto the wicked .

* 491  Listen O isles unto me and hearken ye people from far The 
LORD hath called me from the womb from the bowels of my mother 
hath he made mention of my name .

492  And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword in the shadow 
of his hand hath he hid me and made me a polished shaft in his 
quiver hath he hid me .

493  And said unto me Thou art my servant O Israel in whom I 
will be glorified .

494  Then I said I have laboured in vain I have spent my 
strength for nought and in vain yet surely my judgment is with 
the LORD and my work with my God .

495  And now saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be 
his servant to bring Jacob again to him Though Israel be not 
gathered yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD and my 
God shall be my strength .

496  And he said It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my 
servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the 
preserved of Israel I will also give thee for a light to the 
Gentiles that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the 
earth .�

497  Thus saith the LORD the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One 
to him whom man despiseth to him whom the nation abhorreth to a 
servant of rulers Kings shall see and arise princes also shall 
worship because of the LORD that is faithful and the Holy One of 
Israel and he shall choose thee .�

498  Thus saith the LORD In an acceptable time have I heard thee 
and in a day of salvation have I helped thee and I will preserve 
thee and give thee for a covenant of the people to establish the 
earth to cause to inherit the desolate heritages .

499  That thou mayest say to the prisoners Go forth to them that 
are in darkness Show yourselves They shall feed in the ways and 
their pastures shall be in all high places .

4910  They shall not hunger nor thirst neither shall the heat 
nor sun smite them for he that hath mercy on them shall lead 
them even by the springs of water shall he guide them .

4911  And I will make all my mountains a way and my highways 
shall be exalted .

4912  Behold these shall come from far and lo these from the 
north and from the west and these from the land of Sinim .

4913  Sing O heavens and be joyful O earth and break forth into 
singing O mountains for the LORD hath comforted his people and 
will have mercy upon his afflicted .

4914  But Zion said The LORD hath forsaken me and my Lord hath 
forgotten me .

4915  Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not 
have compassion on the son of her womb yea they may forget yet 
will I not forget thee .

4916  Behold I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands thy 
walls are continually before me .

4917  Thy children shall make haste thy destroyers and they that 
made thee waste shall go forth of thee .

4918  Lift up thine eyes round about and behold all these gather 
themselves together and come to thee As I live saith the LORD 
thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament 
and bind them on thee as a bride doeth .

4919  For thy waste and thy desolate places and the land of thy 
destruction shall even now be too narrow by reason of the 
inhabitants and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away .

4920  The children which thou shalt have after thou hast lost 
the other shall say again in thine ears The place is too strait 
for me give place to me that I may dwell .

4921  Then shalt thou say in thine heart Who hath begotten me 
these seeing I have lost my children and am desolate a captive 
and removing to and fro and who hath brought up these Behold I 
was left alone these where had they been .

4922  Thus saith the Lord GOD Behold I will lift up mine hand to 
the Gentiles and set up my standard to the people and they shall 
bring thy sons in their arms and thy daughters shall be carried 
upon their shoulders .

4923  And kings shall be thy nursing fathers and their queens 
thy nursing mothers they shall bow down to thee with their face 
toward the earth and lick up the dust of thy feet and thou shalt 
know that I am the LORD for they shall not be ashamed that wait 
for me .�

4924  Shall the prey be taken from the mighty or the lawful 
captive delivered .

4925  But thus saith the LORD Even the captives of the mighty 
shall be taken away and the prey of the terrible shall be 
delivered for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee 
and I will save thy children .

4926  And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own 
flesh and they shall be drunken with their own blood as with 
sweet wine and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy 
Saviour and thy Redeemer the mighty One of Jacob .

* 501  Thus saith the LORD Where is the bill of your mother's 
divorcement whom I have put away or which of my creditors is it 
to whom I have sold you Behold for your iniquities have ye sold 
yourselves and for your transgressions is your mother put away .�

502  Wherefore when I came was there no man when I called was 
there none to answer Is my hand shortened at all that it cannot 
redeem or have I no power to deliver behold at my rebuke I dry 
up the sea I make the rivers a wilderness their fish stinketh 
because there is no water and dieth for thirst .�

503  I clothe the heavens with blackness and I make sackcloth 
their covering .

504  The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned that I 
should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary 
he wakeneth morning by morning he wakeneth mine ear to hear as 
the learned .

505  The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear and I was not rebellious 
neither turned away back .

506  I gave my back to the smiters and my cheeks to them that 
plucked off the hair I hid not my face from shame and spitting .

507  For the Lord GOD will help me therefore shall I not be 
confounded therefore have I set my face like a flint and I know 
that I shall not be ashamed .

508  He is near that justifieth me who will contend with me let 
us stand together who is mine adversary let him come near to me .

509  Behold the Lord GOD will help me who is he that shall 
condemn me lo they all shall wax old as a garment the moth shall 
eat them up .

5010  Who is among you that feareth the LORD that obeyeth the 
voice of his servant that walketh in darkness and hath no light 
let him trust in the name of the LORD and stay upon his God .

5011  Behold all ye that kindle a fire that compass yourselves 
about with sparks walk in the light of your fire and in the 
sparks that ye have kindled This shall ye have of mine hand ye 
shall lie down in sorrow .

* 511  Hearken to me ye that follow after righteousness ye that 
seek the LORD look unto the rock whence ye are hewn and to the 
hole of the pit whence ye are digged .

512  Look unto Abraham your father and unto Sarah that bare you 
for I called him alone and blessed him and increased him .

513  For the LORD shall comfort Zion he will comfort all her 
waste places and he will make her wilderness like Eden and her 
desert like the garden of the LORD joy and gladness shall be 
found therein thanksgiving and the voice of melody .

514  Hearken unto me my people and give ear unto me O my nation 
for a law shall proceed from me and I will make my judgment to 
rest for a light of the people .

515  My righteousness is near my salvation is gone forth and 
mine arms shall judge the people the isles shall wait upon me 
and on mine arm shall they trust .

516  Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look upon the earth 
beneath for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke and the 
earth shall wax old like a garment and they that dwell therein 
shall die in like manner but my salvation shall be for ever and 
my righteousness shall not be abolished .�

517  Hearken unto me ye that know righteousness the people in 
whose heart is my law fear ye not the reproach of men neither be 
ye afraid of their revilings .

518  For the moth shall eat them up like a garment and the worm 
shall eat them like wool but my righteousness shall be for ever 
and my salvation from generation to generation .

519  Awake awake put on strength O arm of the LORD awake as in 
the ancient days in the generations of old Art thou not it that 
hath cut Rahab and wounded the dragon .

5110  Art thou not it which hath dried the sea the waters of the 
great deep that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the 
ransomed to pass over .

5111  Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return and come 
with singing unto Zion and everlasting joy shall be upon their 
head they shall obtain gladness and joy and sorrow and mourning 
shall flee away .

5112  I even I am he that comforteth you who art thou that thou 
shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die and of the son of 
man which shall be made as grass .

5113  And forgettest the LORD thy maker that hath stretched 
forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth and hast 
feared continually every day because of the fury of the 
oppressor as if he were ready to destroy and where is the fury 
of the oppressor .�

5114  The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed and that 
he should not die in the pit nor that his bread should fail .

5115  But I am the LORD thy God that divided the sea whose waves 
roared The LORD of hosts is his name .

5116  And I have put my words in thy mouth and I have covered 
thee in the shadow of mine hand that I may plant the heavens and 
lay the foundations of the earth and say unto Zion Thou art my 
people .

5117  Awake awake stand up O Jerusalem which hast drunk at the 
hand of the LORD the cup of his fury thou hast drunken the dregs 
of the cup of trembling and wrung them out .

5118  There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she 
hath brought forth neither is there any that taketh her by the 
hand of all the sons that she hath brought up .

5119  These two things are come unto thee who shall be sorry for 
thee desolation and destruction and the famine and the sword by 
whom shall I comfort thee .

5120  Thy sons have fainted they lie at the head of all the 
streets as a wild bull in a net they are full of the fury of the 
LORD the rebuke of thy God .

5121  Therefore hear now this thou afflicted and drunken but not 
with wine .

5122  Thus saith thy Lord the LORD and thy God that pleadeth the 
cause of his people Behold I have taken out of thine hand the 
cup of trembling even the dregs of the cup of my fury thou shalt 
no more drink it again .

5123  But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee 
which have said to thy soul Bow down that we may go over and 
thou hast laid thy body as the ground and as the street to them 
that went over .

* 521  Awake awake put on thy strength O Zion put on thy 
beautiful garments O Jerusalem the holy city for henceforth 
there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the 
unclean .

522  Shake thyself from the dust arise and sit down O Jerusalem 
loose thyself from the bands of thy neck O captive daughter of 
Zion .

523  For thus saith the LORD Ye have sold yourselves for nought 
and ye shall be redeemed without money .

524  For thus saith the Lord GOD My people went down aforetime 
into Egypt to sojourn there and the Assyrian oppressed them 
without cause .

525  Now therefore what have I here saith the LORD that my 
people is taken away for nought they that rule over them make 
them to howl saith the LORD and my name continually every day is 
blasphemed .

526  Therefore my people shall know my name therefore they shall 
know in that day that I am he that doth speak behold it is I .

527  How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that 
bringeth good tidings that publisheth peace that bringeth good 
tidings of good that publisheth salvation that saith unto Zion 
Thy God reigneth .

528  Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice with the voice 
together shall they sing for they shall see eye to eye when the 
LORD shall bring again Zion .

529  Break forth into joy sing together ye waste places of 
Jerusalem for the LORD hath comforted his people he hath 
redeemed Jerusalem .

5210  The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all 
the nations and all the ends of the earth shall see the 
salvation of our God .

5211  Depart ye depart ye go ye out from thence touch no unclean 
thing go ye out of the midst of her be ye clean that bear the 
vessels of the LORD .

5212  For ye shall not go out with haste nor go by flight for 
the LORD will go before you and the God of Israel will be your 
rereward .

5213  Behold my servant shall deal prudently he shall be exalted 
and extolled and be very high .

5214  As many were astonied at thee his visage was so marred 
more than any man and his form more than the sons of men .

5215  So shall he sprinkle many nations the kings shall shut 
their mouths at him for that which had not been told them shall 
they see and that which they had not heard shall they consider .

* 531  Who hath believed our report and to whom is the arm of 
the LORD revealed .

532  For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a 
root out of a dry ground he hath no form nor comeliness and when 
we shall see him there is no beauty that we should desire him .

533  He is despised and rejected of men a man of sorrows and 
acquainted with grief and we hid as it were our faces from him 
he was despised and we esteemed him not .

534  Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows yet 
we did esteem him stricken smitten of God and afflicted .

535  But he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised 
for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him 
and with his stripes we are healed .

536  All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one 
to his own way and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us 
all .

537  He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet he opened not his 
mouth he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep 
before her shearers is dumb so he openeth not his mouth .

538  He was taken from prison and from judgment and who shall 
declare his generation for he was cut off out of the land of the 
living for the transgression of my people was he stricken .

539  And he made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in 
his death because he had done no violence neither was any deceit 
in his mouth .

5310  Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him he hath put him to 
grief when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin he shall 
see his seed he shall prolong his days and the pleasure of the 
LORD shall prosper in his hand .

5311  He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be 
satisfied by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify 
many for he shall bear their iniquities .

5312  Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and 
he shall divide the spoil with the strong because he hath poured 
out his soul unto death and he was numbered with the 
transgressors and he bare the sin of many and made intercession 
for the transgressors .�

* 541  Sing O barren thou that didst not bear break forth into 
singing and cry aloud thou that didst not travail with child for 
more are the children of the desolate than the children of the 
married wife saith the LORD .

542  Enlarge the place of thy tent and let them stretch forth 
the curtains of thine habitations spare not lengthen thy cords 
and strengthen thy stakes .

543  For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the 
left and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the 
desolate cities to be inhabited .

544  Fear not for thou shalt not be ashamed neither be thou 
confounded for thou shalt not be put to shame for thou shalt 
forget the shame of thy youth and shalt not remember the 
reproach of thy widowhood any more .

545  For thy Maker is thine husband the LORD of hosts is his 
name and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel The God of the 
whole earth shall he be called .

546  For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and 
grieved in spirit and a wife of youth when thou wast refused 
saith thy God .

547  For a small moment have I forsaken thee but with great 
mercies will I gather thee .

548  In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment but 
with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee saith the 
LORD thy Redeemer .

549  For this is as the waters of Noah unto me for as I have 
sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth 
so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee nor rebuke 
thee .

5410  For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed 
but my kindness shall not depart from thee neither shall the 
covenant of my peace be removed saith the LORD that hath mercy 
on thee .

5411  O thou afflicted tossed with tempest and not comforted 
behold I will lay thy stones with fair colours and lay thy 
foundations with sapphires .

5412  And I will make thy windows of agates and thy gates of 
carbuncles and all thy borders of pleasant stones .

5413  And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD and great 
shall be the peace of thy children .

5414  In righteousness shalt thou be established thou shalt be 
far from oppression for thou shalt not fear and from terror for 
it shall not come near thee .

5415  Behold they shall surely gather together but not by me 
whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy 
sake .

5416  Behold I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in 
the fire and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work and 
I have created the waster to destroy .

5417  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and 
their righteousness is of me saith the LORD .

* 551  Ho every one that thirsteth come ye to the waters and he 
that hath no money come ye buy and eat yea come buy wine and 
milk without money and without price .

552  Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread and 
your labour for that which satisfieth not hearken diligently 
unto me and eat ye that which is good and let your soul delight 
itself in fatness .

553  Incline your ear and come unto me hear and your soul shall 
live and I will make an everlasting covenant with you even the 
sure mercies of David .

554  Behold I have given him for a witness to the people a 
leader and commander to the people .

555  Behold thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not and 
nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the 
LORD thy God and for the Holy One of Israel for he hath 
glorified thee .

556  Seek ye the LORD while he may be found call ye upon him 
while he is near .

557  Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his 
thoughts and let him return unto the LORD and he will have mercy 
upon him and to our God for he will abundantly pardon .

558  For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways 
my ways saith the LORD .

559  For as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways 
higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts .

5510  For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven and 
returneth not thither but watereth the earth and maketh it bring 
forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to 
the eater .

5511  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth it 
shall not return unto me void but it shall accomplish that which 
I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it .

5512  For ye shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace 
the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into 
singing and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands .

5513  Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree and 
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree and it shall 
be to the LORD for a name for an everlasting sign that shall not 
be cut off .

* 561  Thus saith the LORD Keep ye judgment and do justice for 
my salvation is near to come and my righteousness to be revealed 
.

562  Blessed is the man that doeth this and the son of man that 
layeth hold on it that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it and 
keepeth his hand from doing any evil .

563  Neither let the son of the stranger that hath joined 
himself to the LORD speak saying The LORD hath utterly separated 
me from his people neither let the eunuch say Behold I am a dry 
tree .

564  For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my 
sabbaths and choose the things that please me and take hold of 
my covenant .

565  Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my 
walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters I 
will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off .

566  Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to the 
LORD to serve him and to love the name of the LORD to be his 
servants every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it 
and taketh hold of my covenant .

567  Even them will I bring to my holy mountain and make them 
joyful in my house of prayer their burnt offerings and their 
sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar for mine house 
shall be called an house of prayer for all people .

568  The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith 
Yet will I gather others to him beside those that are gathered 
unto him .

569  All ye beasts of the field come to devour yea all ye beasts 
in the forest .

5610  His watchmen are blind they are all ignorant they are all 
dumb dogs they cannot bark sleeping lying down loving to slumber 
.

5611  Yea they are greedy dogs which can never have enough and 
they are shepherds that cannot understand they all look to their 
own way every one for his gain from his quarter .

5612  Come ye say they I will fetch wine and we will fill 
ourselves with strong drink and to morrow shall be as this day 
and much more abundant .

* 571  The righteous perisheth and no man layeth it to heart and 
merciful men are taken away none considering that the righteous 
is taken away from the evil to come .

572  He shall enter into peace they shall rest in their beds 
each one walking in his uprightness .

573  But draw near hither ye sons of the sorceress the seed of 
the adulterer and the whore .

574  Against whom do ye sport yourselves against whom make ye a 
wide mouth and draw out the tongue are ye not children of 
transgression a seed of falsehood .

575  Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree 
slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the 
rocks .

576  Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion they 
they are thy lot even to them hast thou poured a drink offering 
thou hast offered a meat offering Should I receive comfort in 
these .

577  Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed even 
thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice .

578  Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy 
remembrance for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me 
and art gone up thou hast enlarged thy bed and made thee a 
covenant with them thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it .

579  And thou wentest to the king with ointment and didst 
increase thy perfumes and didst send thy messengers far off and 
didst debase thyself even unto hell .

5710  Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way yet saidst 
thou not There is no hope thou hast found the life of thine hand 
therefore thou wast not grieved .

5711  And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared that thou hast 
lied and hast not remembered me nor laid it to thy heart have 
not I held my peace even of old and thou fearest me not .

5712  I will declare thy righteousness and thy works for they 
shall not profit thee .

5713  When thou criest let thy companies deliver thee but the 
wind shall carry them all away vanity shall take them but he 
that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land and shall 
inherit my holy mountain .

5714  And shall say Cast ye up cast ye up prepare the way take 
up the stumbling block out of the way of my people .

5715  For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth 
eternity whose name is Holy I dwell in the high and holy place 
with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit to revive 
the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite 
ones .�

5716  For I will not contend for ever neither will I be always 
wroth for the spirit should fail before me and the souls which I 
have made .

5717  For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote 
him I hid me and was wroth and he went on frowardly in the way 
of his heart .

5718  I have seen his ways and will heal him I will lead him 
also and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners .

5719  I create the fruit of the lips Peace peace to him that is 
far off and to him that is near saith the LORD and I will heal 
him .

5720  But the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot 
rest whose waters cast up mire and dirt .

5721  There is no peace saith my God to the wicked .

* 581  Cry aloud spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet and 
show my people their transgression and the house of Jacob their 
sins .

582  Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways as a 
nation that did righteousness and forsook not the ordinance of 
their God they ask of me the ordinances of justice they take 
delight in approaching to God .

583  Wherefore have we fasted say they and thou seest not 
wherefore have we afflicted our soul and thou takest no 
knowledge Behold in the day of your fast ye find pleasure and 
exact all your labours .

584  Behold ye fast for strife and debate and to smite with the 
fist of wickedness ye shall not fast as ye do this day to make 
your voice to be heard on high .

585  Is it such a fast that I have chosen a day for a man to 
afflict his soul is it to bow down his head as a bulrush and to 
spread sackcloth and ashes under him wilt thou call this a fast 
and an acceptable day to the LORD .

586  Is not this the fast that I have chosen to loose the bands 
of wickedness to undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed 
go free and that ye break every yoke .

587  Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry and that thou 
bring the poor that are cast out to thy house when thou seest 
the naked that thou cover him and that thou hide not thyself 
from thine own flesh .

588  Then shall thy light break forth as the morning and thine 
health shall spring forth speedily and thy righteousness shall 
go before thee the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward .

589  Then shalt thou call and the LORD shall answer thou shalt 
cry and he shall say Here I am If thou take away from the midst 
of thee the yoke the putting forth of the finger and speaking 
vanity .

5810  And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy 
the afflicted soul then shall thy light rise in obscurity and 
thy darkness be as the noon day .

5811  And the LORD shall guide thee continually and satisfy thy 
soul in drought and make fat thy bones and thou shalt be like a 
watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not .

5812  And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste 
places thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations 
and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach The restorer 
of paths to dwell in .

5813  If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath from doing thy 
pleasure on my holy day and call the sabbath a delight the holy 
of the LORD honourable and shalt honour him not doing thine own 
ways nor finding thine own pleasure nor speaking thine own words 
.�

5814  Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD and I will 
cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and feed 
thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father for the mouth of the 
LORD hath spoken it .

* 591  Behold the LORD'S hand is not shortened that it cannot 
save neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear .

592  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God 
and your sins have hid his face from you that he will not hear .

593  For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with 
iniquity your lips have spoken lies your tongue hath muttered 
perverseness .

594  None calleth for justice nor any pleadeth for truth they 
trust in vanity and speak lies they conceive mischief and bring 
forth iniquity .

595  They hatch cockatrice' eggs and weave the spider's web he 
that eateth of their eggs dieth and that which is crushed 
breaketh out into a viper .

596  Their webs shall not become garments neither shall they 
cover themselves with their works their works are works of 
iniquity and the act of violence is in their hands .

597  Their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed innocent 
blood their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity wasting and 
destruction are in their paths .

598  The way of peace they know not and there is no judgment in 
their goings they have made them crooked paths whosoever goeth 
therein shall not know peace .

599  Therefore is judgment far from us neither doth justice 
overtake us we wait for light but behold obscurity for 
brightness but we walk in darkness .

5910  We grope for the wall like the blind and we grope as if we 
had no eyes we stumble at noon day as in the night we are in 
desolate places as dead men .

5911  We roar all like bears and mourn sore like doves we look 
for judgment but there is none for salvation but it is far off 
from us .

5912  For our transgressions are multiplied before thee and our 
sins testify against us for our transgressions are with us and 
as for our iniquities we know them .

5913  In transgressing and lying against the LORD and departing 
away from our God speaking oppression and revolt conceiving and 
uttering from the heart words of falsehood .

5914  And judgment is turned away backward and justice standeth 
afar off for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot 
enter .

5915  Yea truth faileth and he that departeth from evil maketh 
himself a prey and the LORD saw it and it displeased him that 
there was no judgment .

5916  And he saw that there was no man and wondered that there 
was no intercessor therefore his arm brought salvation unto him 
and his righteousness it sustained him .

5917  For he put on righteousness as a breastplate and an helmet 
of salvation upon his head and he put on the garments of 
vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a cloak .

5918  According to their deeds accordingly he will repay fury to 
his adversaries recompense to his enemies to the islands he will 
repay recompense .

5919  So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west and 
his glory from the rising of the sun When the enemy shall come 
in like a flood the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard 
against him .

5920  And the Redeemer shall come to Zion and unto them that 
turn from transgression in Jacob saith the LORD .

5921  As for me this is my covenant with them saith the LORD My 
spirit that is upon thee and my words which I have put in thy 
mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth nor out of the mouth of 
thy seed nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed saith the LORD 
from henceforth and for ever .�

* 601  Arise shine for thy light is come and the glory of the 
LORD is risen upon thee .

602  For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross 
darkness the people but the LORD shall arise upon thee and his 
glory shall be seen upon thee .

603  And the Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the 
brightness of thy rising .

604  Lift up thine eyes round about and see all they gather 
themselves together they come to thee thy sons shall come from 
far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side .

605  Then thou shalt see and flow together and thine heart shall 
fear and be enlarged because the abundance of the sea shall be 
converted unto thee the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto 
thee .

606  The multitude of camels shall cover thee the dromedaries of 
Midian and Ephah all they from Sheba shall come they shall bring 
gold and incense and they shall show forth the praises of the 
LORD .

607  All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto 
thee the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee they shall 
come up with acceptance on mine altar and I will glorify the 
house of my glory .

608  Who are these that fly as a cloud and as the doves to their 
windows .

609  Surely the isles shall wait for me and the ships of 
Tarshish first to bring thy sons from far their silver and their 
gold with them unto the name of the LORD thy God and to the Holy 
One of Israel because he hath glorified thee .

6010  And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls and 
their kings shall minister unto thee for in my wrath I smote 
thee but in my favour have I had mercy on thee .

6011  Therefore thy gates shall be open continually they shall 
not be shut day nor night that men may bring unto thee the 
forces of the Gentiles and that their kings may be brought .

6012  For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall 
perish yea those nations shall be utterly wasted .

6013  The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee the fir tree the 
pine tree and the box together to beautify the place of my 
sanctuary and I will make the place of my feet glorious .

6014  The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come 
bending unto thee and all they that despised thee shall bow 
themselves down at the soles of thy feet and they shall call 
thee The city of the LORD The Zion of the Holy One of Israel .

6015  Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated so that no man 
went through thee I will make thee an eternal excellency a joy 
of many generations .

6016  Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles and shalt 
suck the breast of kings and thou shalt know that I the LORD am 
thy Saviour and thy Redeemer the mighty One of Jacob .

6017  For brass I will bring gold and for iron I will bring 
silver and for wood brass and for stones iron I will also make 
thy officers peace and thine exactors righteousness .

6018  Violence shall no more be heard in thy land wasting nor 
destruction within thy borders but thou shalt call thy walls 
Salvation and thy gates Praise .

6019  The sun shall be no more thy light by day neither for 
brightness shall the moon give light unto thee but the LORD 
shall be unto thee an everlasting light and thy God thy glory .

6020  Thy sun shall no more go down neither shall thy moon 
withdraw itself for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light 
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended .

6021  Thy people also shall be all righteous they shall inherit 
the land for ever the branch of my planting the work of my hands 
that I may be glorified .

6022  A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a 
strong nation I the LORD will hasten it in his time .

* 611  The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me because the LORD 
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek he hath 
sent me to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaim liberty to the 
captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound .�

612  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD and the day of 
vengeance of our God to comfort all that mourn .

613  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion to give unto them 
beauty for ashes the oil of joy for mourning the garment of 
praise for the spirit of heaviness that they might be called 
trees of righteousness the planting of the LORD that he might be 
glorified .�

614  And they shall build the old wastes they shall raise up the 
former desolations and they shall repair the waste cities the 
desolations of many generations .

615  And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks and the sons 
of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers .

616  But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD men shall 
call you the Ministers of our God ye shall eat the riches of the 
Gentiles and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves .

617  For your shame ye shall have double and for confusion they 
shall rejoice in their portion therefore in their land they 
shall possess the double everlasting joy shall be unto them .

618  For I the LORD love judgment I hate robbery for burnt 
offering and I will direct their work in truth and I will make 
an everlasting covenant with them .

619  And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles and their 
offspring among the people all that see them shall acknowledge 
them that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed .

6110  I will greatly rejoice in the LORD my soul shall be joyful 
in my God for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation 
he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness as a 
bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments and as a bride 
adorneth herself with her jewels .�

6111  For as the earth bringeth forth her bud and as the garden 
causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth so the 
Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth 
before all the nations .

* 621  For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace and for 
Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until the righteousness thereof 
go forth as brightness and the salvation thereof as a lamp that 
burneth .

622  And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness and all kings 
thy glory and thou shalt be called by a new name which the mouth 
of the LORD shall name .

623  Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD 
and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God .

624  Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken neither shall thy 
land any more be termed Desolate but thou shalt be called 
Hephzibah and thy land Beulah for the LORD delighteth in thee 
and thy land shall be married .

625  For as a young man marrieth a virgin so shall thy sons 
marry thee and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride so 
shall thy God rejoice over thee .

626  I have set watchmen upon thy walls O Jerusalem which shall 
never hold their peace day nor night ye that make mention of the 
LORD keep not silence .

627  And give him no rest till he establish and till he make 
Jerusalem a praise in the earth .

628  The LORD hath sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his 
strength Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for 
thine enemies and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy 
wine for the which thou hast laboured .

629  But they that have gathered it shall eat it and praise the 
LORD and they that have brought it together shall drink it in 
the courts of my holiness .

6210  Go through go through the gates prepare ye the way of the 
people cast up cast up the highway gather out the stones lift up 
a standard for the people .

6211  Behold the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world 
Say ye to the daughter of Zion Behold thy salvation cometh 
behold his reward is with him and his work before him .

6212  And they shall call them The holy people The redeemed of 
the LORD and thou shalt be called Sought out A city not forsaken 
.

* 631  Who is this that cometh from Edom with dyed garments from 
Bozrah this that is glorious in his apparel travelling in the 
greatness of his strength I that speak in righteousness mighty 
to save .

632  Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel and thy garments 
like him that treadeth in the winefat .

633  I have trodden the winepress alone and of the people there 
was none with me for I will tread them in mine anger and trample 
them in my fury and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my 
garments and I will stain all my raiment .

634  For the day of vengeance is in mine heart and the year of 
my redeemed is come .

635  And I looked and there was none to help and I wondered that 
there was none to uphold therefore mine own arm brought 
salvation unto me and my fury it upheld me .

636  And I will tread down the people in mine anger and make 
them drunk in my fury and I will bring down their strength to 
the earth .

637  I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD and the 
praises of the LORD according to all that the LORD hath bestowed 
on us and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he 
hath bestowed on them according to his mercies and according to 
the multitude of his lovingkindnesses .�

638  For he said Surely they are my people children that will 
not lie so he was their Saviour .

639  In all their affliction he was afflicted and the angel of 
his presence saved them in his love and in his pity he redeemed 
them and he bare them and carried them all the days of old .

6310  But they rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit therefore he 
was turned to be their enemy and he fought against them .

6311  Then he remembered the days of old Moses and his people 
saying Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the 
shepherd of his flock where is he that put his holy Spirit 
within him .

6312  That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious 
arm dividing the water before them to make himself an 
everlasting name .

6313  That led them through the deep as an horse in the 
wilderness that they should not stumble .

6314  As a beast goeth down into the valley the Spirit of the 
LORD caused him to rest so didst thou lead thy people to make 
thyself a glorious name .

6315  Look down from heaven and behold from the habitation of 
thy holiness and of thy glory where is thy zeal and thy strength 
the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me are they 
restrained .

6316  Doubtless thou art our father though Abraham be ignorant 
of us and Israel acknowledge us not thou O LORD art our father 
our redeemer thy name is from everlasting .

6317  O LORD why hast thou made us to err from thy ways and 
hardened our heart from thy fear Return for thy servants' sake 
the tribes of thine inheritance .

6318  The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little 
while our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary .

6319  We are thine thou never barest rule over them they were 
not called by thy name .

* 641  Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens that thou wouldest 
come down that the mountains might flow down at thy presence .

642  As when the melting fire burneth the fire causeth the 
waters to boil to make thy name known to thine adversaries that 
the nations may tremble at thy presence .

643  When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for 
thou camest down the mountains flowed down at thy presence .

644  For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor 
perceived by the ear neither hath the eye seen O God beside thee 
what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him .

645  Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness 
those that remember thee in thy ways behold thou art wroth for 
we have sinned in those is continuance and we shall be saved .

646  But we are all as an unclean thing and all our 
righteousnesses are as filthy rags and we all do fade as a leaf 
and our iniquities like the wind have taken us away .

647  And there is none that calleth upon thy name that stirreth 
up himself to take hold of thee for thou hast hid thy face from 
us and hast consumed us because of our iniquities .

648  But now O LORD thou art our father we are the clay and thou 
our potter and we all are the work of thy hand .

649  Be not wroth very sore O LORD neither remember iniquity for 
ever behold see we beseech thee we are all thy people .

6410  Thy holy cities are a wilderness Zion is a wilderness 
Jerusalem a desolation .

6411  Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised 
thee is burned up with fire and all our pleasant things are laid 
waste .

6412  Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things O LORD wilt 
thou hold thy peace and afflict us very sore .

* 651  I am sought of them that asked not for me I am found of 
them that sought me not I said Behold me behold me unto a nation 
that was not called by my name .

652  I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious 
people which walketh in a way that was not good after their own 
thoughts .

653  A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face 
that sacrificeth in gardens and burneth incense upon altars of 
brick .

654  Which remain among the graves and lodge in the monuments 
which eat swine's flesh and broth of abominable things is in 
their vessels .

655  Which say Stand by thyself come not near to me for I am 
holier than thou These are a smoke in my nose a fire that 
burneth all the day .

656  Behold it is written before me I will not keep silence but 
will recompense even recompense into their bosom .

657  Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together 
saith the LORD which have burned incense upon the mountains and 
blasphemed me upon the hills therefore will I measure their 
former work into their bosom .

658  Thus saith the LORD As the new wine is found in the cluster 
and one saith Destroy it not for a blessing is in it so will I 
do for my servants' sakes that I may not destroy them all .

659  And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob and out of Judah 
an inheritor of my mountains and mine elect shall inherit it and 
my servants shall dwell there .

6510  And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks and the valley of 
Achor a place for the herds to lie down in for my people that 
have sought me .

6511  But ye are they that forsake the LORD that forget my holy 
mountain that prepare a table for that troop and that furnish 
the drink offering unto that number .

6512  Therefore will I number you to the sword and ye shall all 
bow down to the slaughter because when I called ye did not 
answer when I spake ye did not hear but did evil before mine 
eyes and did choose that wherein I delighted not .

6513  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD Behold my servants shall 
eat but ye shall be hungry behold my servants shall drink but ye 
shall be thirsty behold my servants shall rejoice but ye shall 
be ashamed .

6514  Behold my servants shall sing for joy of heart but ye 
shall cry for sorrow of heart and shall howl for vexation of 
spirit .

6515  And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen 
for the Lord GOD shall slay thee and call his servants by 
another name .

6516  That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless 
himself in the God of truth and he that sweareth in the earth 
shall swear by the God of truth because the former troubles are 
forgotten and because they are hid from mine eyes .

6517  For behold I create new heavens and a new earth and the 
former shall not be remembered nor come into mind .

6518  But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create 
for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoicing and her people a joy .

6519  And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and joy in my people and 
the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her nor the voice 
of crying .

6520  There shall be no more thence an infant of days nor an old 
man that hath not filled his days for the child shall die an 
hundred years old but the sinner being an hundred years old 
shall be accursed .

6521  And they shall build houses and inhabit them and they 
shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them .

6522  They shall not build and another inhabit they shall not 
plant and another eat for as the days of a tree are the days of 
my people and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their 
hands .

6523  They shall not labour in vain nor bring forth for trouble 
for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD and their 
offspring with them .

6524  And it shall come to pass that before they call I will 
answer and while they are yet speaking I will hear .

6525  The wolf and the lamb shall feed together and the lion 
shall eat straw like the bullock and dust shall be the serpent's 
meat They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain 
saith the LORD .

* 661  Thus saith the LORD The heaven is my throne and the earth 
is my footstool where is the house that ye build unto me and 
where is the place of my rest .

662  For all those things hath mine hand made and all those 
things have been saith the LORD but to this man will I look even 
to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and trembleth at my 
word .

663  He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man he that 
sacrificeth a lamb as if he cut off a dog's neck he that 
offereth an oblation as if he offered swine's blood he that 
burneth incense as if he blessed an idol Yea they have chosen 
their own ways and their soul delighteth in their abominations .�

664  I also will choose their delusions and will bring their 
fears upon them because when I called none did answer when I 
spake they did not hear but they did evil before mine eyes and 
chose that in which I delighted not .

665  Hear the word of the LORD ye that tremble at his word Your 
brethren that hated you that cast you out for my name's sake 
said Let the LORD be glorified but he shall appear to your joy 
and they shall be ashamed .

666  A voice of noise from the city a voice from the temple a 
voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies .

667  Before she travailed she brought forth before her pain came 
she was delivered of a man child .

668  Who hath heard such a thing who hath seen such things Shall 
the earth be made to bring forth in one day or shall a nation be 
born at once for as soon as Zion travailed she brought forth her 
children .

669  Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth 
saith the LORD shall I cause to bring forth and shut the womb 
saith thy God .

6610  Rejoice ye with Jerusalem and be glad with her all ye that 
love her rejoice for joy with her all ye that mourn for her .

6611  That ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her 
consolations that ye may milk out and be delighted with the 
abundance of her glory .

6612  For thus saith the LORD Behold I will extend peace to her 
like a river and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream 
then shall ye suck ye shall be borne upon her sides and be 
dandled upon her knees .

6613  As one whom his mother comforteth so will I comfort you 
and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem .

6614  And when ye see this your heart shall rejoice and your 
bones shall flourish like an herb and the hand of the LORD shall 
be known toward his servants and his indignation toward his 
enemies .

6615  For behold the LORD will come with fire and with his 
chariots like a whirlwind to render his anger with fury and his 
rebuke with flames of fire .

6616  For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all 
flesh and the slain of the LORD shall be many .

6617  They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the 
gardens behind one tree in the midst eating swine's flesh and 
the abomination and the mouse shall be consumed together saith 
the LORD .

6618  For I know their works and their thoughts it shall come 
that I will gather all nations and tongues and they shall come 
and see my glory .

6619  And I will set a sign among them and I will send those 
that escape of them unto the nations to Tarshish Pul and Lud 
that draw the bow to Tubal and Javan to the isles afar off that 
have not heard my fame neither have seen my glory and they shall 
declare my glory among the Gentiles .�

6620  And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering 
unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses and in chariots and 
in litters and upon mules and upon swift beasts to my holy 
mountain Jerusalem saith the LORD as the children of Israel 
bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD .�

6621  And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites 
saith the LORD .

6622  For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make 
shall remain before me saith the LORD so shall your seed and 
your name remain .

6623  And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to 
another and from one sabbath to another shall all flesh come to 
worship before me saith the LORD .

6624  And they shall go forth and look upon the carcases of the 
men that have transgressed against me for their worm shall not 
die neither shall their fire be quenched and they shall be an 
abhorring unto all flesh .
