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

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

11 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in

the days of Jotham Ahaz and Hezekiah kings of Judah which he saw

concerning Samaria and Jerusalem .

12 Hear all ye people hearken O earth and all that therein is

and let the Lord GOD be witness against you the Lord from his

holy temple .

13 For behold the LORD cometh forth out of his place and will

come down and tread upon the high places of the earth .

14 And the mountains shall be molten under him and the valleys

shall be cleft as wax before the fire and as the waters that are

poured down a steep place .

15 For the transgression of Jacob is all this and for the sins

of the house of Israel What is the transgression of Jacob is it

not Samaria and what are the high places of Judah are they not

Jerusalem .

16 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field and

as plantings of a vineyard and I will pour down the stones

thereof into the valley and I will discover the foundations

thereof .

17 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces

and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire and all

the idols thereof will I lay desolate for she gathered it of the

hire of an harlot and they shall return to the hire of an harlot

18 Therefore I will wail and howl I will go stripped and naked

I will make a wailing like the dragons and mourning as the owls .

19 For her wound is incurable for it is come unto Judah he is

come unto the gate of my people even to Jerusalem .

110 Declare ye it not at Gath weep ye not at all in the house

of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust .

111 Pass ye away thou inhabitant of Saphir having thy shame

naked the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of

Bethezel he shall receive of you his standing .

112 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good but

evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem .

113 O thou inhabitant of Lachish bind the chariot to the swift

beast she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion

for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee .

114 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath the

houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel .

115 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee O inhabitant of

Mareshah he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel .

116 Make thee bald and poll thee for thy delicate children

enlarge thy baldness as the eagle for they are gone into

captivity from thee .

* 21 Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their

beds when the morning is light they practice it because it is in

the power of their hand .

22 And they covet fields and take them by violence and houses

and take them away so they oppress a man and his house even a

man and his heritage .

23 Therefore thus saith the LORD Behold against this family do

I devise an evil from which ye shall not remove your necks

neither shall ye go haughtily for this time is evil .

24 In that day shall one take up a parable against you and

lament with a doleful lamentation and say We be utterly spoiled

he hath changed the portion of my people how hath he removed it

from me turning away he hath divided our fields .

25 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by

lot in the congregation of the LORD .

26 Prophesy ye not say they to them that prophesy they shall

not prophesy to them that they shall not take shame .

27 O thou that art named the house of Jacob is the spirit of

the LORD straitened are these his doings do not my words do good

to him that walketh uprightly .

28 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy ye pull off

the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men

averse from war .

29 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant

houses from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever .

210 Arise ye and depart for this is not your rest because it

is polluted it shall destroy you even with a sore destruction .

211 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie saying

I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink he shall

even be the prophet of this people .

212 I will surely assemble O Jacob all of thee I will surely

gather the remnant of Israel I will put them together as the

sheep of Bozrah as the flock in the midst of their fold they

shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men .

213 The breaker is come up before them they have broken up and

have passed through the gate and are gone out by it and their

king shall pass before them and the LORD on the head of them .

* 31 And I said Hear I pray you O heads of Jacob and ye princes

of the house of Israel Is it not for you to know judgment .

32 Who hate the good and love the evil who pluck off their

skin from off them and their flesh from off their bones .

33 Who also eat the flesh of my people and flay their skin

from off them and they break their bones and chop them in pieces

as for the pot and as flesh within the caldron .

34 Then shall they cry unto the LORD but he will not hear them

he will even hide his face from them at that time as they have

behaved themselves ill in their doings .

35 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my

people err that bite with their teeth and cry Peace and he that

putteth not into their mouths they even prepare war against him .

36 Therefore night shall be unto you that ye shall not have a

vision and it shall be dark unto you that ye shall not divine

and the sun shall go down over the prophets and the day shall be

dark over them .

37 Then shall the seers be ashamed and the diviners confounded

yea they shall all cover their lips for there is no answer of

God .

38 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD and

of judgment and of might to declare unto Jacob his transgression

and to Israel his sin .

39 Hear this I pray you ye heads of the house of Jacob and

princes of the house of Israel that abhor judgment and pervert

all equity .

310 They build up Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity .

311 The heads thereof judge for reward and the priests thereof

teach for hire and the prophets thereof divine for money yet

will they lean upon the LORD and say Is not the LORD among us

none evil can come upon us .

312 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field

and Jerusalem shall become heaps and the mountain of the house

as the high places of the forest .

* 41 But in the last days it shall come to pass that the

mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the

top of the mountains and it shall be exalted above the hills and

people shall flow unto it .

42 And many nations shall come and say Come and let us go up

to the mountain of the LORD and to the house of the God of Jacob

and he will teach us of his ways and we will walk in his paths

for the law shall go forth of Zion and the word of the LORD from

Jerusalem .

43 And he shall judge among many people and rebuke strong

nations afar off and they shall beat their swords into

plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks nation shall not

lift up a sword against nation neither shall they learn war any

more .

44 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his

fig tree and none shall make them afraid for the mouth of the

LORD of hosts hath spoken it .

45 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god

and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and

ever .

46 In that day saith the LORD will I assemble her that halteth

and I will gather her that is driven out and her that I have

afflicted .

47 And I will make her that halted a remnant and her that was

cast far off a strong nation and the LORD shall reign over them

in mount Zion from henceforth even for ever .

48 And thou O tower of the flock the strong hold of the

daughter of Zion unto thee shall it come even the first dominion

the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem .

49 Now why dost thou cry out aloud is there no king in thee is

thy counsellor perished for pangs have taken thee as a woman in

travail .

410 Be in pain and labour to bring forth O daughter of Zion

like a woman in travail for now shalt thou go forth out of the

city and thou shalt dwell in the field and thou shalt go even to

Babylon there shalt thou be delivered there the LORD shall

redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies .

411 Now also many nations are gathered against thee that say

Let her be defiled and let our eye look upon Zion .

412 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD neither

understand they his counsel for he shall gather them as the

sheaves into the floor .

413 Arise and thresh O daughter of Zion for I will make thine

horn iron and I will make thy hoofs brass and thou shalt beat in

pieces many people and I will consecrate their gain unto the

LORD and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth .

* 51 Now gather thyself in troops O daughter of troops he hath

laid siege against us they shall smite the judge of Israel with

a rod upon the cheek .

52 But thou Bethlehem Ephratah though thou be little among the

thousands of Judah yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me

that is to be ruler in Israel whose goings forth have been from

of old from everlasting .

53 Therefore will he give them up until the time that she

which travaileth hath brought forth then the remnant of his

brethren shall return unto the children of Israel .

54 And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD in

the majesty of the name of the LORD his God and they shall abide

for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth .

55 And this man shall be the peace when the Assyrian shall

come into our land and when he shall tread in our palaces then

shall we raise against him seven shepherds and eight principal

men .

56 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword and

the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof thus shall he

deliver us from the Assyrian when he cometh into our land and

when he treadeth within our borders .

57 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many

people as a dew from the LORD as the showers upon the grass that

tarrieth not for man nor waiteth for the sons of men .

58 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the

midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest as

a young lion among the flocks of sheep who if he go through both

treadeth down and teareth in pieces and none can deliver .

59 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries and

all thine enemies shall be cut off .

510 And it shall come to pass in that day saith the LORD that

I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee and I will

destroy thy chariots .

511 And I will cut off the cities of thy land and throw down

all thy strong holds .

512 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand and thou

shalt have no more soothsayers .

513 Thy graven images also will I cut off and thy standing

images out of the midst of thee and thou shalt no more worship

the work of thine hands .

514 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee so

will I destroy thy cities .

515 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the

heathen such as they have not heard .

* 61 Hear ye now what the LORD saith Arise contend thou before

the mountains and let the hills hear thy voice .

62 Hear ye O mountains the LORD'S controversy and ye strong

foundations of the earth for the LORD hath a controversy with

his people and he will plead with Israel .

63 O my people what have I done unto thee and wherein have I

wearied thee testify against me .

64 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt and redeemed

thee out of the house of servants and I sent before thee Moses

Aaron and Miriam .

65 O my people remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted

and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto

Gilgal that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD .

66 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD and bow myself

before the high God shall I come before him with burnt offerings

with calves of a year old .

67 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten

thousands of rivers of oil shall I give my firstborn for my

transgression the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul .

68 He hath showed thee O man what is good and what doth the

LORD require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to

walk humbly with thy God .

69 The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city and the man of wisdom

shall see thy name hear ye the rod and who hath appointed it .

610 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of

the wicked and the scant measure that is abominable .

611 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances and with

the bag of deceitful weights .

612 For the rich men thereof are full of violence and the

inhabitants thereof have spoken lies and their tongue is

deceitful in their mouth .

613 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee in

making thee desolate because of thy sins .

614 Thou shalt eat but not be satisfied and thy casting down

shall be in the midst of thee and thou shalt take hold but shalt

not deliver and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the

sword .

615 Thou shalt sow but thou shalt not reap thou shalt tread

the olives but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil and sweet

wine but shalt not drink wine .

616 For the statutes of Omri are kept and all the works of the

house of Ahab and ye walk in their counsels that I should make

thee a desolation and the inhabitants thereof an hissing

therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people .

* 71 Woe is me for I am as when they have gathered the summer

fruits as the grapegleanings of the vintage there is no cluster

to eat my soul desired the firstripe fruit .

72 The good man is perished out of the earth and there is none

upright among men they all lie in wait for blood they hunt every

man his brother with a net .

73 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly the prince

asketh and the judge asketh for a reward and the great man he

uttereth his mischievous desire so they wrap it up .

74 The best of them is as a brier the most upright is sharper

than a thorn hedge the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation

cometh now shall be their perplexity .

75 Trust ye not in a friend put ye not confidence in a guide

keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom .

76 For the son dishonoureth the father the daughter riseth up

against her mother the daughter in law against her mother in law

a man's enemies are the men of his own house .

77 Therefore I will look unto the LORD I will wait for the God

of my salvation my God will hear me .

78 Rejoice not against me O mine enemy when I fall I shall

arise when I sit in darkness the LORD shall be a light unto me .

79 I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have

sinned against him until he plead my cause and execute judgment

for me he will bring me forth to the light and I shall behold

his righteousness .

710 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it and shame shall

cover her which said unto me Where is the LORD thy God mine eyes

shall behold her now shall she be trodden down as the mire of

the streets .

711 In the day that thy walls are to be built in that day

shall the decree be far removed .

712 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria

and from the fortified cities and from the fortress even to the

river and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain .

713 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them

that dwell therein for the fruit of their doings .

714 Feed thy people with thy rod the flock of thine heritage

which dwell solitarily in the wood in the midst of Carmel let

them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old .

715 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of

Egypt will I show unto him marvellous things .

716 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might

they shall lay their hand upon their mouth their ears shall be

deaf .

717 They shall lick the dust like a serpent they shall move

out of their holes like worms of the earth they shall be afraid

of the LORD our God and shall fear because of thee .

718 Who is a God like unto thee that pardoneth iniquity and

passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage he

retaineth not his anger for ever because he delighteth in mercy .

719 He will turn again he will have compassion upon us he will

subdue our iniquities and thou wilt cast all their sins into the

depths of the sea .

720 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob and the mercy to

Abraham which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of

old .
