: Isaiah 35



: 1 . The wilderness <4057 midbar > and the solitary < 6723
tsiyah > place shall be glad <7996 Shalleketh > for them ; and
the desert <6160 <arabah > shall rejoice <1523 giyl > , and
blossom <6524 parach > as the rose <2261 chabatstseleth > .

: 2 It shall blossom <6524 parach > abundantly <6524 parach > ,
and rejoice <1523 giyl > even <0637 >aph > with joy <1525
giylah > and singing <7442 ranan > : the glory <3519 kabowd > of
Lebanon <3844 L@banown > shall be given <5414 nathan > unto it ,
the excellency <1926 hadar > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > and
Sharon <8289 Sharown > , they shall see <7200 ra>ah > the glory
<3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ and ] the
excellency <1926 hadar > of our God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 3 Strengthen <2388 chazaq > ye the weak <7504 rapheh > hands
<3027 yad > , and confirm <0553 >amats > the feeble <3782
kashal > knees <1290 berek > .

: 4 Say <0559 >amar > to them [ that are ] of a fearful <4116
mahar > heart <3820 leb > , Be strong <2388 chazaq > , fear
<3372 yare> > not : behold <2009 hinneh > , your God <0430
>elohiym > will come <0935 bow> > [ with ] vengeance <5359
naqam > , [ even ] God <0430 >elohiym > [ with ] a
recompence <1576 g@muwl > ; he will come <0935 bow> > and save
<3467 yasha< > you .

: 5 . Then <0227 >az > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the blind
<5787 <ivver > shall be opened <6491 paqach > , and the ears
<0241 >ozen > of the deaf <2795 cheresh > shall be unstopped
<6605 pathach > .

: 6 Then <0227 >az > shall the lame <6455 picceach > [ man ]
leap <1801 dalag > as an hart <0354 >ayal > , and the tongue
<3956 lashown > of the dumb <0483 >illem > sing <7442 ranan > :
for in the wilderness <4057 midbar > shall waters <4325 mayim >
break <1234 baqa< > out , and streams <5158 nachal > in the
desert <6160 <arabah > .

: 7 And the parched <8273 sharab > ground shall become < 1961
hayah > a pool <98> , and the thirsty <6774 tsimma>own > land
springs <4002 mabbuwa< > of water <4325 mayim > : in the
habitation <5116 naveh > of dragons <8577 tanniyn > , where
each lay <7258 rebets > , [ shall be ] grass <2682 chatsiyr >
with reeds <7070 qaneh > and rushes <1573 gome> > .

: 8 And an highway <4547 macluwl > shall be there <8033 sham > ,
and a way <1870 derek > , and it shall be called < 7121 qara>
> The way <1870 derek > of holiness <6944 qodesh > ; the
unclean <2931 tame> > shall not pass <5674 <abar > over <5674
<abar > it ; but it [ shall be ] for those : the wayfaring
men <0582 >enowsh > , though fools <0191 >eviyl > , shall not
err <8582 ta<ah > [ therein ] .

: 9 No <3808 lo> > lion <0738 >ariy > shall be there <8033 sham
> , nor <1077 bal > [ any ] ravenous <6530 p@riyts > beast
<2416 chay > shall go <5927 <alah > up thereon , it shall not
be found <4672 matsa> > there <8033 sham > ; but the redeemed
<1350 ga>al > shall walk <1980 halak > [ there ] :

: 10 And the ransomed <6299 padah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
shall return <7725 shuwb > , and come <0935 bow> > to Zion
<6726 Tsiyown > with songs <7440 rinnah > and everlasting <5769
<owlam > joy <8057 simchah > upon their heads < 7218 ro>sh > :
they shall obtain <5381 nasag > joy <8057 simchah > and gladness
<8057 simchah > , and sorrow <3015 yagown > and sighing <0585
>anachah > shall flee <5127 nuwc > away .

: Isaiah 36

: 1 . Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourteenth year
<8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah < 2396 Chizqiyah > ,
[ that ] Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek >
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came <5927 <alah > up against <5921
<al > all <3605 kol > the defenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892
<iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and took <8610 taphas > them
.

: 2 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 > Ashshuwr >
sent <7971 shalach > Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > from Lachish
<3923 Lachiysh > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > unto king
<4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > with a great <3515
kabed > army <2426 cheyl > . And he stood <5975 < amad > by the
conduit <8585 t@<alah > of the upper <5945 >elyown > pool <1295
b@rekah > in the highway <4546 m@cillah > of the fuller s <3526
kabac > field <7704 sadeh > .

: 3 Then came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto him
Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > , Hilkiah s <2518 Chilqiyah > son
<1121 ben > , which <0834 >aher > was over < 5921 <al > the
house <1004 bayith > , and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe
<5608 caphar > , and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > , Asaph s <0623
>Acaph > son <1121 ben > , the recorder <2142 zakar > .

: 4 And Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto
them , Say <0559 >amar > ye now <4994 na> > to Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the great
<1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek > , the king < 4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , What confidence <0986 bittachown >
[ is ] this <2088 zeh > wherein <0834 >aher > thou trustest
<0982 batach > ?

: 5 I say <0559 >amar > , [ sayest thou ] , ( but [ they
are but ] vain <8193 saphah > words <1697 dabar > ) [ I have
] counsel <6098 <etsah > and strength <1369 g@buwrah > for war
<4421 milchamah > : now <6258 <attah > on <5921 <al > whom <4310
miy > dost thou trust <0982 batach > , that thou rebellest
<4775 marad > against me ?

: 6 Lo <2009 hinneh > , thou trustest <0982 batach > in the
staff <4938 mish<enah > of this <2088 zeh > broken <7533 ratsats
> reed <7070 qaneh > , on <5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ;
whereon if a man <0376 >iysh > lean <5564 camak > , it will go
<0935 bow> > into his hand <3709 kaph > , and pierce <5344
naqab > it : so <3651 ken > [ is ] Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king
<4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to all < 3605 kol > that
trust <0982 batach > in him .

: 7 But if thou say <0559 >amar > to me , We trust < 0982
batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > :
[ is it ] not he , whose high <1111 Balaq > places and whose
altars <4196 mizbeach > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > hath taken
<5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > , and said <0559 >amar > to
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,
Ye shall worship <7812 shachah > before <6440 paniym > this
<2088 zeh > altar <4196 mizbeach > ?

: 8 Now <6258 <attah > therefore give pledges <6148 <arab > ,
I pray <4994 na> > thee , to my master <0113 > adown > the king
<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , and I will give
<5414 nathan > thee two thousand <0505 >eleph > horses <5483
cuwc > , if <0518 >im > thou be able <3201 yakol > on thy part
to set <5414 nathan > riders <7392 rakab > upon them .

: 9 How <0349 >eyk > then wilt thou turn <7725 shuwb > away the
face <6440 paniym > of one <0259 >echad > captain <6346 pechah >
of the least <6996 qatan > of my master s <0113 > adown >
servants <5650 <ebed > , and put thy trust <0982 batach > on
<5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for chariots <7393 rekeb >
and for horsemen <6571 parash > ?

: 10 And am I now <6258 <attah > come <5927 <alah > up without
<1107 bil<adey > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > against <5921 <al >
this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > to destroy <7843 shachath
> it ? the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,
Go <5927 <alah > up against <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > land
<0776 >erets > , and destroy <7843 shachath > it .

: 11 . Then said <0559 >amar > Eliakim <0471 > Elyaqiym > and
Shebna <7644 Shebna> > and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > unto Rabshakeh
<7262 Rabshaqeh > , Speak <1696 dabar > , I pray <4994 na> >
thee , unto thy servants <5650 <ebed > in the Syrian <0762
>Aramiyth > language ; for we understand <8085 shama< > [ it ]
: and speak <1696 dabar > not to us in the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy
> language , in the ears <0241 >ozen > of the people <5971 <am
> that [ are ] on <5921 <al > the wall <2346 chowmah > .

: 12 But Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 > amar > , Hath
my master <0113 >adown > sent <7971 shalach > me to thy master
<0113 >adown > and to thee to speak <1696 dabar > these <0428
>el - leh > words <1697 dabar > ? [ hath he ] not [ sent me
] to the men <0582 >enowsh > that sit <3427 yashab > upon the
wall <2346 chowmah > , that they may eat <0398 >akal > their
own dung , and drink <8354 shathah > their own piss < 7890
shayin > with you ?

: 13 Then Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > stood <5975 < amad > ,
and cried <7121 qara> > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963
qowl > in the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > language , and said <0559
>amar > , Hear <8085 shama< > ye the words < 1697 dabar > of the
great <1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek > , the king <4428 melek
> of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > .

: 14 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek
> , Let not Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > deceive <5377 nasha> >
you : for he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to deliver < 5337
natsal > you .

: 15 Neither <0408 >al > let Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > make
you trust <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , saying
<0559 >amar > , The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will surely deliver
<5337 natsal > us : this <2063 zo>th > city < 5892 <iyr > shall
not be delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the
king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > .

: 16 Hearken <8085 shama< > not to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > :
for thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , Make <6213 <asah > [ an
agreement ] with me [ by ] a present <1293 B@rakah > , and
come <3318 yatsa> > out to me : and eat <0398 > akal > ye every
<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > of his vine < 1612 gephen > ,
and every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > of his fig <8384 t@>en

<0376 >iysh > the waters <4325 mayim > of his own cistern <0953
bowr > ;

: 17 Until <5704 <ad > I come <0935 bow> > and take <3947
laqach > you away to a land <0776 >erets > like your own land
<0776 >erets > , a land <0776 >erets > of corn <1715 dagan >
and wine <8492 tiyrowsh > , a land <0776 >erets > of bread
<3899 lechem > and vineyards <3754 kerem > .

: 18 [ Beware ] lest <6435 pen > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >
persuade <5496 cuwth > you , saying <0559 >amar > , The LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > will deliver <5337 natsal > us . Hath any <0376
>iysh > of the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy >
delivered <5337 natsal > his land <0776 >erets > out of the hand
<3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria < 0804 >Ashshuwr
> ?

: 19 Where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] the gods <0430 >elohiym > of
Hamath <2574Chamath > and Arphad <0774 >Arpad > ? where <0346
>ayeh > [ are ] the gods <0430 >elohiym > of Sepharvaim <5617
C@pharvayim > ? and have they delivered <5337 natsal > Samaria
<8111 Shom@rown > out of my hand <3027 yad > ?

: 20 Who <4310 miy > [ are they ] among all <3605 kol > the
gods <0430 >elohiym > of these <0428 >el - leh > lands <0776
>erets > , that have delivered <5337 natsal > their land <0776
>erets > out of my hand <3027 yad > , that the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > should deliver <5337 natsal > Jerusalem < 3389
Y@ruwshalaim > out of my hand <3027 yad > ?

: 21 But they held <2790 charash > their peace <2790 charash > ,
and answered <6030 <anah > him not a word <1697 dabar > : for
the king s <4428 melek > commandment <4687 mitsvah > was ,
saying <0559 >amar > , Answer <6030 <anah > him not .

: 22 Then came <0935 bow> > Eliakim <0471 > Elyaqiym > , the
son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah > , that [ was ]
over <5921 <al > the household <1004 bayith > , and Shebna
<7644 Shebna> > the scribe <5608 caphar > , and Joah <3098
Yow>ach > , the son <1121 ben > of Asaph <0623 >Acaph > , the
recorder <2142 zakar > , to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > with [
their ] clothes <0899 beged > rent <7167 qara< > , and told
<5046 nagad > him the words <1697 dabar > of Rabshakeh <7262
Rabshaqeh > .

: Isaiah 37

: 1 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when king < 4428
melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > heard <8085 shama< > [ it ]
, that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged > , and
covered <3680 kacah > himself with sackcloth <8242 saq > , and
went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > .

: 2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 > Elyaqiym > ,
who <0834 >aher > [ was ] over <5921 <al > the household <1004
bayith > , and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe < 5608 caphar >
, and the elders <2205 zaqen > of the priests <3548 kohen >
covered <3680 kacah > with sackcloth <8242 saq > , unto Isaiah
<3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son <1121 ben >
of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > .

: 3 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him , Thus < 3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > , This <2088 zeh
> day <3117 yowm > [ is ] a day <3117 yowm > of trouble <6869
tsarah > , and of rebuke <8433 towkechah > , and of blasphemy
<5007 n@>atsah > : for the children <1121 ben > are come <0935
bow> > to the birth <4866 mishber > , and [ there is ] not
strength <3581 koach > to bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad

: 4 It may be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >
will hear <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of Rabshakeh
<7262 Rabshaqeh > , whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek >
of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > his master <0113 > adown > hath sent
<7971 shalach > to reproach <2778 charaph . > the living <2416
chay > God <0430 >elohiym > , and will reprove < 3198 yakach >
the words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > hath heard < 8085 shama< > :
wherefore lift <5375 nasa> > up [ thy ] prayer < 8605 t@phillah
> for the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > that is left < 4672 matsa> >
.

: 5 So the servants <5650 <ebed > of king <4428 melek >
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > came <0935 bow> > to Isaiah <3470
Y@sha<yah > .

: 6 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,
Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > unto your master
<0113 >adown > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > , Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the words
<1697 dabar > that thou hast heard <8085 shama< > , wherewith
<0834 >aher > the servants <5288 na<ar > of the king <4428 melek
> of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have blasphemed < 1442 gadaph > me
.

: 7 Behold <2005 hen > , I will send <7971 shalach > a blast
<7307 ruwach > upon him , and he shall hear <8085 shama< > a
rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > , and return <7725 shuwb > to his own
land <0776 >erets > ; and I will cause him to fall < 5307 naphal
> by the sword <2719 chereb > in his own land <0776 >erets > .

: 8 . So Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > returned <7725 shuwb > ,
and found <4672 matsa> > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804
>Ashshuwr > warring <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > Libnah
<3841 Libnah > : for he had heard <8085 shama< > that he was
departed <5265 naca< > from Lachish <3923 Lachiysh > .

: 9 And he heard <8085 shama< > say <0559 >amar > concerning
<5921 <al > Tirhakah <8640 Tirhaqah > king < 4428 melek > of
Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh > , He is come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318
yatsa> > to make war <3898 lacham > with thee . And when he
heard <8085 shama< > [ it ] , he sent <7971 shalach >
messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,
saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 10 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye speak <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah > ,
saying <0559 >amar > , Let not thy God <0430 > elohiym > , in
whom <0834 >aher > thou trustest <0982 batach > , deceive <5377
nasha> > thee , saying <0559 >amar > , Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > shall not be given <5414 nathan > into the hand
<3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria < 0804 >Ashshuwr

: 11 Behold <2009 hinneh > , thou hast heard <8085 shama< >
what <0834 >aher > the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804
>Ashshuwr > have done <6213 <asah > to all < 3605 kol > lands
<0776 >erets > by destroying <2763 charam > them utterly ; and
shalt thou be delivered <5337 natsal > ?

: 12 Have the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations < 1471 gowy >
delivered <5337 natsal > them which <0834 >aher > my fathers <1>
have destroyed <7843 shachath > , [ as ] Gozan <1470 Gowzan >
, and Haran <2771 Charan > , and Rezeph <7530 Retseph > , and
the children <1121 ben > of Eden <5731 <Eden > which <0834 >aher

: 13 Where <0346 >ayeh > [ is ] the king <4428 melek > of
Hamath <2574 Chamath > , and the king <4428 melek > of Arphad
<0774 >Arpad > , and the king <4428 melek > of the city <5892
<iyr > of Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim > , Hena < 2012 Hena< > ,
and Ivah <5755 <Ivvah > ?

: 14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > received <3947 laqach > the
letter <5612 cepher > from the hand <3027 yad > of the
messengers <4397 mal>ak > , and read <7121 qara> > it : and
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > went <5927 <alah > up unto the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and spread <6566
paras > it before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > prayed <6419 palal > unto
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 16 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , God
<0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , that dwellest
<3427 yashab > [ between ] the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,
thou [ art ] the God <0430 >elohiym > , [ even ] thou alone
<0905 bad > , of all <3605 kol > the kingdoms < 4467 mamlakah >
of the earth <0776 >erets > : thou hast made <6213 <asah >

: 17 Incline <5186 natah > thine ear <0241 >ozen > , O LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > , and hear <8085 shama< > ; open <6491 paqach

<7200 ra>ah > : and hear <8085 shama< > all < 3605 kol > the
words <1697 dabar > of Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > , which
<0834 >aher > hath sent <7971 shalach > to reproach <2778
charaph . > the living <2416 chay > God <0430 > elohiym > .

: 18 Of a truth <0551 >omnam > , LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , the
kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have laid waste
<2717 charab > all <3605 kol > the nations <0776 >erets > , and
their countries <0776 >erets > ,

: 19 And have cast <5414 nathan > their gods <0430 > elohiym >
into the fire <0784 >esh > : for they [ were ] no < 3808 lo> >
gods <0430 >elohiym > , but the work <4639 ma< aseh > of men s
<0120 >adam > hands <3027 yad > , wood <6086 <ets > and stone
<68> : therefore they have destroyed <6> them .

: 20 Now <6258 <attah > therefore , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our
God <0430 >elohiym > , save <3467 yasha< > us from his hand
<3027 yad > , that all <3605 kol > the kingdoms < 4467 mamlakah

[ art ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , [ even ] thou only <0905

: 21 . Then Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son <1121 ben > of
Amoz <0531 >Amowts > sent <7971 shalach > unto Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > , saying <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God < 0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , Whereas <0834 >aher > thou hast
prayed <6419 palal > to me against <0413 >el > Sennacherib <5576
Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 > Ashshuwr > :

: 22 This <2088 zeh > [ is ] the word <1697 dabar > which
<0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >
concerning <5921 <al > him ; The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > ,
the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , hath
despised <0959 bazah > thee , [ and ] laughed <3932 la<ag >
thee to scorn ; the daughter <1323 bath > of Jerusalem < 3389
Y@ruwshalaim > hath shaken <5128 nuwa< > her head < 7218 ro>sh >
at thee .

: 23 Whom hast thou reproached <2778 charaph . > and
blasphemed <1442 gadaph > ? and against <5921 <al > whom <4310
miy > hast thou exalted <7311 ruwm > [ thy ] voice < 6963 qowl

high <4796 Marowth > ? [ even ] against <0413 >el > the Holy
<6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 24 By thy servants <5650 <ebed > hast thou reproached <2778
charaph . > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > , and hast said <0559
>amar > , By the multitude <7230 rob > of my chariots <7393
rekeb > am I come <5927 <alah > up to the height < 4791 marowm >
of the mountains <2022 har > , to the sides <3411 y@rekah > of
Lebanon <3844 L@banown > ; and I will cut <3772 karath > down
the tall <6967 qowmah > cedars <0730 >erez > thereof , [ and ]
the choice <4005 mibchar > fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees thereof :
and I will enter <0935 bow> > into the height <4791 marowm > of
his border <7093 qets > , [ and ] the forest <3293 ya<ar > of
his Carmel <3760 Karmel > .

: 25 I have digged <5365 naqar > , and drunk <8354 shathah >
water <4325 mayim > ; and with the sole <3709 kaph > of my feet
<6471 pa<am > have I dried <2717 charab > up all <3605 kol > the
rivers <2975 y@<or > of the besieged <4693 matsowr > places .

: 26 Hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > long <5704 <ad > ago
<7350 rachowq > , [ how ] I have done <6213 <asah > it ; [
and ] of ancient <6924 qedem > times <3117 yowm > , that I
have formed <3335 yatsar > it ? now <6258 <attah > have I
brought <0935 bow> > it to pass , that thou shouldest be to lay
waste <7582 sha>ah > defenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr >
[ into ] ruinous <5327 natsah > heaps <1530 gal > .

: 27 Therefore their inhabitants <3427 yashab > [ were ] of
small <7116 qatser > power <3027 yad > , they were dismayed
<2865 chathath > and confounded <0954 buwsh > : they were [ as
] the grass <6212 <eseb > of the field <7704 sadeh > , and [
as ] the green <3419 yaraq > herb <1877 deshe> > , [ as ]
the grass <2682 chatsiyr > on the housetops <1406 gag > , and
[ as corn ] blasted <7709 sh@demah > before <6440 paniym > it
be grown <6965 quwm > up .

: 28 But I know <3045 yada< > thy abode <3427 yashab > , and
thy going <3318 yatsa> > out , and thy coming <0935 bow> > in ,
and thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413 >el > me .

: 29 Because <3282 ya<an > thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413
>el > me , and thy tumult <7600 sha>anan > , is come <5927
<alah > up into mine ears <0241 >ozen > , therefore will I put
<7760 suwm > my hook <2397 chach > in thy nose < 0639 >aph > ,
and my bridle <4964 metheg > in thy lips <8193 saphah > , and I
will turn <7725 shuwb > thee back <7725 shuwb > by the way <1870
derek > by which <0834 >aher > thou camest <0935 bow> > .

: 30 And this <2088 zeh > [ shall be ] a sign <0226 >owth >
unto thee , Ye shall eat <0398 >akal > [ this ] year <8141
shaneh > such as groweth <5599 caphiyach > of itself ; and the
second <8145 sheniy > year <8141 shaneh > that which springeth
<7823 shachiyc > of the same : and in the third <7992 sh@liyshiy

qatsar > , and plant <5193 nata< > vineyards < 3754 kerem > ,
and eat <0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof .

: 31 And the remnant <7604 sha>ar > that is escaped < 6413
p@leytah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
shall again take root <8328 sheresh > downward <4295 mattah > ,
and bear <6213 <asah > fruit <6529 p@riy > upward <4605 ma<al > :


: 32 For out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall go <3318

and they that escape <6413 p@leytah > out of mount <2022 har >
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > : the zeal <7068 qin>ah > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > shall do <6213 <asah > this
<2063 zo>th > .

: 33 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > the king <4428
melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > , He shall not come <0935

nor <3808 lo> > shoot an arrow <2671 chets > there <8033 sham > ,
nor <3808 lo> > come <6923 qadam > before < 6924 qedem > it
with shields <4043 magen > , nor <3808 lo> > cast <8210 shaphak

: 34 By the way <1870 derek > that he came <0935 bow> > , by
the same shall he return <7725 shuwb > , and shall not come
<0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr

: 35 For I will defend <1598 ganan > this <2063 zo> th > city
<5892 <iyr > to save <3467 yasha< > it for mine own sake , and
for my servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732 David > sake <4616
ma<an > .

: 36 Then the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > , and smote <5221
nakah > in the camp <4264 machaneh > of the Assyrians <0804

sh@moniym > and five <2568 chamesh > thousand <0505 >eleph > :
and when they arose <2224 zarach > early <7925 shakam > in the
morning <1242 boqer > , behold <2009 hinneh > , they [ were ]
all <3605 kol > dead <4191 muwth > corpses <6297 peger > .

: 37 So Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > departed <5265 naca< > , and went
<3212 yalak > and returned <7725 shuwb > , and dwelt <3427
yashab > at Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > .

: 38 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , as he was worshipping
<7812 shachah > in the house <1004 bayith > of Nisroch <5268
Nicrok > his god <0430 >elohiym > , that Adrammelech <0152

they escaped <4422 malat > into the land <0776 >erets > of
Armenia <0780 >Ararat > : and Esarhaddon <0634 > Ecar - Chaddown

: Isaiah 38

: 1 . In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > was Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah > sick <2470 chalah > unto death < 4191 muwth > .
And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son
<1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > came <0935 bow> > unto him ,
and said <0559 >amar > unto him , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

and not live <2421 chayah > .

: 2 Then Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > turned <5437 cabab > his
face <6440 paniym > toward <0413 >el > the wall <7023 qiyr > ,
and prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

: 3 And said <0559 >amar > , Remember <2142 zakar > now <4994
na> > , O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , I beseech <0577 >anna> > thee
, how <0834 >aher > I have walked <1980 halak > before <6440
paniym > thee in truth <0571 >emeth > and with a perfect <8003
shalem > heart <3820 leb > , and have done <6213 < asah > [
that which is ] good <2896 towb > in thy sight <5869 <ayin > .
And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > wept <1058 bakah > sore <1419
gadowl > .

: 4 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > , saying <0559
>amar > ,

: 5 Go <1980 halak > , and say <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah <2396
Chizqiyah > , Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > , the God <0430 >elohiym > of David <1732 David

t@phillah > , I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thy tears <1832 dim<ah

days <3117 yowm > fifteen <6240 <asar > years < 8141 shaneh > .

: 6 And I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee and this < 2063 zo>th

<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > : and I will defend
<1598 ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 < iyr > .

: 7 And this <2088 zeh > [ shall be ] a sign <0226 >owth >
unto thee from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , that the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > will do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697
dabar > that he hath spoken <1696 dabar > ;

: 8 Behold <2005 hen > , I will bring <7725 shuwb > again
<7725 shuwb > the shadow <6738 tsel > of the degrees <4609
ma<alah > , which <0834 >aher > is gone <3381 yarad > down in
the sun <8121 shemesh > dial <4609 ma<alah > of Ahaz <0271

<0322 >achoranniyth > . So the sun <8121 shemesh > returned
<7725 shuwb > ten <6235 <eser > degrees <4609 ma<alah > , by
which degrees <4609 ma<alah > it was gone <3381 yarad > down .

: 9 . The writing <4385 miktab > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , when he had been
sick <2470 chalah > , and was recovered <2421 chayah > of his
sickness <2483 choliy > :

: 10 I said <0559 >amar > in the cutting <1824 d@miy > off of
my days <3117 yowm > , I shall go <3212 yalak > to the gates
<8179 sha<ar > of the grave <7585 sh@>owl > : I am deprived
<6485 paqad > of the residue <3499 yether > of my years <8141
shaneh > .

: 11 I said <0559 >amar > , I shall not see <7200 ra>ah > the
LORD <3050 Yahh > , [ even ] the LORD <3050 Yahh > , in the
land <0776 >erets > of the living <2416 chay > : I shall behold
<7200 ra>ah > man <0120 >adam > no <3808 lo> > more with the
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the world <2309 chedel > .

: 12 Mine age <1755 dowr > is departed <5265 naca< > , and is
removed <1556 galal > from me as a shepherd s <7473 ro<iy > tent
<0168 >ohel > : I have cut <7088 qaphad > off like a weaver
<0707 >arag > my life <2416 chay > : he will cut <1214 batsa< >
me off with pining <1803 dallah > sickness : from day < 3117 yowm

: 13 I reckoned <7737 shavah > till <5704 <ad > morning <1242

: 14 Like a crane <5483 cuwc > [ or ] a swallow <5693 <aguwr

<1897 hagah > as a dove <3123 yownah > : mine eyes <5869 <ayin >
fail <1809 dalal > [ with looking ] upward <4791 marowm > : O
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , I am oppressed <6234 <oshqah > ;
undertake <6148 <arab > for me .

: 15 What <4100 mah > shall I say <1696 dabar > ? he hath both
spoken <0559 >amar > unto me , and himself <1931 huw> > hath
done <6213 <asah > [ it ] : I shall go <1718 dadah > softly
all <3605 kol > my years <8141 shaneh > in the bitterness <4751

: 16 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > , by these <5921 <al > [ things
men ] live <2421 chayah > , and in all <3605 kol > these [
things is ] the life <2416 chay > of my spirit <7307 ruwach > :
so wilt thou recover <2492 chalam > me , and make me to live
<2421 chayah > .

: 17 Behold <2009 hinneh > , for peace <7965 shalowm > I had
great bitterness <4843 marar > : but thou hast in love < 2836
chashaq > to my soul <5315 nephesh > [ delivered it ] from the
pit <7845 shachath > of corruption <1097 b@liy > : for thou hast
cast <7993 shalak > all <3605 kol > my sins <2399 chet> > behind
<0310 >achar > thy back <1458 gav > .

: 18 For the grave <7585 sh@>owl > cannot <3808 lo> > praise
<3034 yadah > thee , death <4194 maveth > can < 3201 yakol > [
not ] celebrate <1984 halal > thee : they that go <3381 yarad >
down <3381 yarad > into the pit <0953 bowr > cannot <3808 lo> >
hope <7663 sabar > for thy truth <0571 >emeth > .

: 19 The living <2416 chay > , the living <2416 chay > , he
shall praise <3034 yadah > thee , as I [ do ] this day <3117
yowm > : the father <1> to the children <1121 ben > shall make
known <3045 yada< > thy truth <0571 >emeth > .

: 20 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ was ready ] to save < 3467
yasha< > me : therefore we will sing my songs <5058 n@giynah >
to the stringed <5058 n@giynah > instruments all <3605 kol > the
days <3117 yowm > of our life <2416 chay > in the house <1004

: 21 For Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > had said <0559 > amar > , Let

.

: 22 Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > also had said <0559 > amar > ,
What <4100 mah > [ is ] the sign <0226 >owth > that I shall go
<5927 <alah > up to the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068

: Isaiah 39

: 1 . At that time <6256 <eth > Merodachbaladan < 4757 M@ro>dak
Bal>adan > , the son <1121 ben > of Baladan <1081 Bal>adan > ,
king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > , sent <7971
shalach > letters <5612 cepher > and a present <4503 minchah >
to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > : for he had heard <8085 shama< >
that he had been sick <2470 chalah > , and was recovered <2388
chazaq > .

: 2 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > was glad <8056 sameach > of
them , and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them the house <1004 bayith >
of his precious <5238 n@koth > things , the silver < 3701 keceph

and the precious <2896 towb > ointment <8081 shemen > , and
all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of his armour <3627

: 3 Then came <0935 bow> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet

from whence <0370 >aiyn > came <0935 bow> > they unto thee ?
And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar > , They are
come <0935 bow> > from a far <7350 rachowq > country <0776

: 4 Then said <0559 >amar > he , What <4100 mah > have they
seen <7200 ra>ah > in thine house <1004 bayith > ? And Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar > , All <3605 kol > that

: 5 . Then said <0559 >amar > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha< yah > to
Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > , Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697

to Babylon <0894 Babel > : nothing shall be left <3498 yathar > ,
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 7 And of thy sons <1121 ben > that shall issue <3318 yatsa> >
from thee , which <0834 >aher > thou shalt beget < 3205 yalad > ,
shall they take <3947 laqach > away ; and they shall be
eunuchs <5631 cariyc > in the palace <1964 heykal > of the king

: 8 Then said <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > to
Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > , Good <1319 basar > [ is ] the word

thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > . He said <0559 >amar > moreover
, For there shall be peace <7965 shalowm > and truth < 0571

: Isaiah 40

: 1 . Comfort <5162 nacham > ye , comfort <5162 nacham > ye
my people <5971 <am > , saith <0559 >amar > your God <0430

: 2 Speak <1696 dabar > ye comfortably to Jerusalem < 3389
Y@ruwshalaim > , and cry <7121 qara> > unto her , that her
warfare <6635 tsaba> > is accomplished <4390 male> > , that her
iniquity <5771 <avon > is pardoned <7521 ratsah > : for she hath
received <3947 laqach > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > hand <3027
yad > double <3718 kephel > for all <3605 kol > her sins <2403

: 3 . The voice <6963 qowl > of him that crieth <7121 qara> >
in the wilderness <4057 midbar > , Prepare <6437 panah > ye the
way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , make straight
<3474 yashar > in the desert <6160 <arabah > a highway <4546
m@cillah > for our God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 4 Every <3605 kol > valley <1516 gay> > shall be exalted
<5375 nasa> > , and every <3605 kol > mountain <2022 har > and
hill <1389 gib<ah > shall be made low <8213 shaphel > : and the
crooked <6121 <aqob > shall be made straight <4334 miyshowr > ,
and the rough <7406 rekec > places plain <1237 biq<ah > :

: 5 And the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
shall be revealed <1540 galah > , and all <3605 kol > flesh

hath spoken <1696 dabar > [ it ] .

: 6 The voice <6963 qowl > said <0559 >amar > , Cry <7121
qara> > . And he said <0559 >amar > , What < 4100 mah > shall I
cry <7121 qara> > ? All <3605 kol > flesh < 1320 basar > [ is ]
grass <2682 chatsiyr > , and all <3605 kol > the goodliness
<2617 checed > thereof [ is ] as the flower <6731 tsiyts > of
the field <7704 sadeh > :

: 7 The grass <2682 chatsiyr > withereth <3001 yabesh > , the
flower <6731 tsiyts > fadeth <5034 nabel > : because <3588 kiy >
the spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > bloweth
<5380 nashab > upon it : surely <0406 >ikkar > the people <5971

: 8 The grass <2682 chatsiyr > withereth <3001 yabesh > , the
flower <6731 tsiyts > fadeth <5034 nabel > : but the word <1697
dabar > of our God <0430 >elohiym > shall stand < 6965 quwm > for
ever <5769 <owlam > .

good <1319 basar > tidings <1319 basar > , get < 5927 <alah >
thee up into <5921 <al > the high <1364 gaboahh > mountain <2022

voice <6963 qowl > with strength <3581 koach > ; lift <7311

Behold <2009 hinneh > your God <0430 >elohiym > !

: 11 He shall feed <7462 ra<ah > his flock <5739 < eder > like a
shepherd <7462 ra<ah > : he shall gather <6908 qabats > the
lambs <2922 t@la> > with his arm <2220 z@rowa< > , and carry
<5375 nasa> > [ them ] in his bosom <2436 cheyq > , [ and ]
shall gently lead <5095 nahal > those that are with young <5763

: 12 . Who <4310 miy > hath measured <4058 madad > the waters
<4325 mayim > inthe hollow <8168 sho<al > of his hand , and
meted <8505 takan > out heaven <8064 shamayim > with the span
<2239 zereth > , and comprehended <3557 kuwl > the dust <6083

scales <6425 pelec > , and the hills <1389 gib<ah > in a
balance <3976 mo>zen > ?

: 13 Who <4310 miy > hath directed <8505 takan > the Spirit
<7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , or [ being ] his
counsellor <6098 <etsah > hath taught <3045 yada< > him ?

: 14 With whom <4310 miy > took he counsel <3289 ya< ats > ,
and [ who ] instructed <0995 biyn > him , and taught < 3925
lamad > him in the path <0734 >orach > of judgment <4941 mishpat

and shewed <3045 yada< > to him the way <1870 derek > of
understanding <8394 tabuwn > ?

: 15 Behold <2005 hen > , the nations <1471 gowy > [ are ]
as a drop <4752 mar > of a bucket <1805 d@liy > , and are
counted <2803 chashab > as the small dust <7834 shachaq > of the
balance <3976 mo>zen > : behold <2005 hen > , he taketh <5190
natal > up the isles <0339 >iy > as a very <1851 daq > little

: 16 And Lebanon <3844 L@banown > [ is ] not sufficient <1767
day > to burn <1197 ba<ar > , nor <0369 >ayin > the beasts
<2416 chay > thereof sufficient <1767 day > for a burnt <5930

: 17 All <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy > before < 6440 paniym >
him [ are ] as nothing <0369 >ayin > ; and they are counted
<2803 chashab > to him less <0657 >ephec > than nothing , and
vanity <8414 tohuw > .

: 18 . To whom <4310 miy > then will ye liken <1819 damah >
God <0410 >el > ? or what <4100 mah > likeness <1823 d@muwth >
will ye compare <6186 <arak > unto him ?

: 19 The workman <2796 charash > melteth <5258 nacak > a graven
<6459 pecel > image , and the goldsmith <6884 tsaraph >
spreadeth <7554 raqa< > it over with gold <2091 zahab > , and
casteth <6884 tsaraph > silver <3701 keceph > chains <7569
rattowq > .

: 20 He that [ is ] so impoverished <5533 cakan > that he
hath no <3808 lo> > oblation <8641 t@ruwmah > chooseth <0977
bachar > a tree <6086 <ets > [ that ] will not rot <7537 raqab

workman <2796 charash > to prepare <3559 kuwn > a graven <6459
pecel > image , [ that ] shall not be moved <4131 mowt > .

: 21 Have ye not known <3045 yada< > ? have ye not heard <8085
shama< > ? hath it not been told <5046 nagad > you from the
beginning <7218 ro>sh > ? have ye not understood < 0995 biyn >
from the foundations <4146 mowcadah > of the earth <0776 >erets

: 22 [ It is ] he that sitteth <3427 yashab > upon the circle
<2329 chuwg > of the earth <0776 >erets > , and the inhabitants
<3427 yashab > thereof [ are ] as grasshoppers <2284 chagab > ;
that stretcheth <5186 natah > out the heavens <8064 shamayim >
as a curtain <1852 doq > , and spreadeth <4969 mathach > them
out as a tent <0168 >ohel > to dwell <3427 yashab > in :

: 23 That bringeth <5414 nathan > the princes <7336 razan > to
nothing ; he maketh <6213 <asah > the judges <8199 shaphat > of
the earth <0776 >erets > as vanity <8414 tohuw > .

: 24 Yea <0637 >aph > , they shall not be planted < 5193 nata<

yea <0637 >aph > , their stock <1503 geza> > shall not take
<3947 laqach > root <8327 sharash > in the earth < 0776 >erets > :
and he shall also <1571 gam > blow <5398 nashaph > upon them ,
and they shall wither <3001 yabesh > , and the whirlwind <5591
ca<ar > shall take <5375 nasa> > them away as stubble <7179 qash

: 25 To whom <4310 miy > then will ye liken <1819 damah > me ,
or shall I be equal <7737 shavah > ? saith <0559 > amar > the
Holy <6918 qadowsh > One .

: 26 Lift <5375 nasa> > up your eyes <5869 <ayin > on high
<4791 marowm > , and behold <7200 ra>ah > who < 4310 miy > hath
created <1254 bara> > these <0428 >el - leh > [ things ] ,
that bringeth <3318 yatsa> > out their host <6635 tsaba> > by

: 27 . Why <4100 mah > sayest <0559 >amar > thou , O Jacob
<3290 Ya<aqob > , and speakest <1696 dabar > , O Israel <3478
Yisra>el > , My way <1870 derek > is hid <5641 cathar > from
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and my judgment <4941 mishpat > is
passed <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > from my God <0430

: 28 Hast thou not known <3045 yada< > ? hast thou not heard
<8085 shama< > , [ that ] the everlasting <5769 <owlam > God
<0430 >elohiym > , the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , the Creator
<1254 bara> > of the ends <7098 qatsah > of the earth <0776

is weary <3021 yaga< > ? [ there is ] no <0369 > ayin >
searching <2714 cheqer > of his understanding <8394 tabuwn > .

: 29 He giveth <5414 nathan > power <3581 koach > to the faint
<3287 ya<@ph > ; and to [ them that have ] no < 0369 >ayin >
might <0202 >own > he increaseth <7235 rabah > strength <6109
<otsmah > .

: 30 Even the youths <5288 na<ar > shall faint <3286 ya<aph >
and be weary <3021 yaga< > , and the young men shall utterly
fall <3782 kashal > :

: 31 But they that wait <6960 qavah > upon the LORD < 3068
Y@hovah > shall renew <2498 chalaph > [ their ] strength <3581
koach > ; they shall mount <5927 <alah > up with wings <83> as
eagles <5404 nesher > ; they shall run <7323 ruwts > , and not
be weary <3021 yaga< > ; [ and ] they shall walk < 3212 yalak

: Isaiah 41

: 1 . Keep silence <2790 charash > before <0413 >el > me , O
islands <0339 >iy > ; and let the people <3816 l@om > renew
<2498 chalaph > [ their ] strength <3581 koach > : let them
come <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > ; then < 0227 >az > let
them speak <1696 dabar > : let us come <7126 qarab > near <7126

: 2 Who <4310 miy > raised <5782 <uwr > up the righteous <6664
tsedeq > [ man ] from the east <4217 mizrach > , called <7121
qara> > him to his foot <7272 regel > , gave < 5414 nathan > the
nations <1471 gowy > before <6440 paniym > him , and made [
him ] rule <7287 radah > over kings <4428 melek > ? he gave
<5414 nathan > [ them ] as the dust <6083 <aphar > to his
sword <2719 chereb > , [ and ] as driven <5086 nadaph >
stubble <7179 qash > to his bow <7198 qesheth > .

: 3 He pursued <7291 radaph > them , [ and ] passed < 5674
<abar > safely <7965 shalowm > ; [ even ] by the way <0734

<7272 regel > .

: 4 Who <4310 miy > hath wrought <6466 pa<al > and done <6213
<asah > [ it ] , calling <7121 qara> > the generations <1755
dowr > from the beginning <7218 ro>sh > ? I the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , the first <7223 ri>shown > , and with the last
<0314 >acharown > ; I [ am ] he .

: 5 The isles <0339 >iy > saw <7200 ra>ah > [ it ] , and
feared <3372 yare> > ; the ends <7098 qatsah > of the earth
<0776 >erets > were afraid <2729 charad > , drew near <7126
qarab > , and came <0857 >athah > .

: 6 They helped <5826 <azar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376

one <0376 >iysh > ] said <0559 >amar > to his brother <0251

: 7 So the carpenter <2796 charash > encouraged <2388 chazaq >
the goldsmith <6884 tsaraph > , [ and ] he that smootheth
<2505 chalaq > [ with ] the hammer <6360 pattiysh > him that
smote <1986 halam > the anvil <6471 pa<am > , saying <0559

debeq > : and he fastened <2388 chazaq > it with nails <4548
macmer > , [ that ] it should not be moved <4131 mowt > .

: 8 But thou , Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , [ art ] my servant
<5650 <ebed > , Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > whom < 0834 >aher > I have
chosen <0977 bachar > , the seed <2233 zera< > of Abraham <85>
my friend <0157 >ahab > .

: 9 [ Thou ] whom <0834 >aher > I have taken <2388 chazaq >
from the ends <7098 qatsah > of the earth <0776 > erets > , and
called <7121 qara> > thee from the chief <0678 > atsiyl > men
thereof , and said <0559 >amar > unto thee , Thou [ art ] my
servant <5650 <ebed > ; I have chosen <0977 bachar > thee ,
and not cast <3988 ma>ac > thee away .

: 10 . Fear <3372 yare> > thou not ; for I [ am ] with thee
: be not dismayed <8159 sha<ah > ; for I [ am ] thy God <0430

I will uphold <8551 tamak > thee with the right <3225 yamiyn >
hand <3225 yamiyn > of my righteousness <6664 tsedeq > .

: 11 Behold <2005 hen > , all <3605 kol > they that were
incensed <2734 charah > against thee shall be ashamed < 0954
buwsh > and confounded <3637 kalam > : they shall be as nothing
<0369 >ayin > ; and they that strive <7379 riyb > with thee
shall perish <6> .

: 12 Thou shalt seek <1245 baqash > them , and shalt not find
<4672 matsa> > them , [ even ] them that contended <4695
matstsuwth > with thee : they that war <4421 milchamah > against
thee shall be as nothing <0369 >ayin > , and as a thing of
nought <0657 >ephec > .

: 13 For I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 > elohiym >
will hold <2388 chazaq > thy right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225
yamiyn > , saying <0559 >amar > unto thee , Fear <3372 yare> >
not ; I will help <5826 <azar > thee .

: 14 Fear <3372 yare> > not , thou worm <8438 towla< > Jacob
<3290 Ya<aqob > , [ and ] ye men <4962 math > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > ; I will help <5826 <azar > thee , saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and thy redeemer <1350 ga>al

: 15 Behold <2009 hinneh > , I will make <7760 suwm > thee a
new <2319 chadash > sharp <2742 charuwts > threshing <4173
mowrag > instrument having <1167 ba<al > teeth < 6374 piyphiyah >
: thou shalt thresh <1758 duwsh > the mountains <2022 har > ,
and beat <1854 daqaq > [ them ] small <1854 daqaq > , and
shalt make <7760 suwm > the hills <1389 gib<ah > as chaff <4671

: 16 Thou shalt fan <2219 zarah > them , and the wind < 7307

whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > shall scatter <6327 puwts > them : and
thou shalt rejoice <1523 giyl > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,
[ and ] shalt glory <1984 halal > in the Holy <6918 qadowsh >
One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 17 [ When ] the poor <6041 <aniy > and needy < 34> seek
<1245 baqash > water <4325 mayim > , and [ there is ] none
<0369 >ayin > , [ and ] their tongue <3956 lashown > faileth

<azab > them .

: 18 I will open <6605 pathach > rivers <5103 n@har > in high
<8203 Sh@phatyah > places , and fountains <4599 ma< yan > in the
midst <8432 tavek > of the valleys <1237 biq<ah > : I will make
<7760 suwm > the wilderness <4057 midbar > a pool < 98> of water

springs <4161 mowtsa> > of water <4325 mayim > .

: 19 I will plant <5414 nathan > in the wilderness < 4057 midbar

forth <5066 nagash > your strong <6110 <atstsumah > [ reasons ]

vanity <0205 >aven > ; their works <4639 ma<aseh > [ are ]
nothing <0657 >ephec > : their molten <5262 necek > images [

: Isaiah 42

: 1 . Behold <2005 hen > my servant <5650 <ebed > , whom I
uphold <8551 tamak > ; mine elect <0972 bachiyr > , [ in whom

put <5414 nathan > my spirit <7307 ruwach > upon him : he shall
bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > judgment <4941 mishpat

: 2 He shall not cry <6817 tsa<aq > , nor <3808 lo> > lift

to be heard <8085 shama< > in the street <2351 chuwts > .

: 3 A bruised <7533 ratsats > reed <7070 qaneh > shall he not
break <7665 shabar > , and the smoking <3544 keheh > flax <6594
pishtah > shall he not quench <3518 kabah > : he shall bring

unto truth <0571 >emeth > .

: 4 He shall not fail <3543 kahah > nor <3808 lo> > be
discouraged <7533 ratsats > , till <5704 <ad > he have set

: 5 . Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > God <0410 >el > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , he that created <1254 bara> > the
heavens <8064 shamayim > , and stretched <5186 natah > them out

and that which cometh <6631 tse>etsa> > out of it ; he that
giveth <5414 nathan > breath <5397 n@shamah > unto the people
<5971 <am > upon it , and spirit <7307 ruwach > to them that
walk <1980 halak > therein :

: 6 I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have called <7121 qara> > thee
in righteousness<6664 tsedeq > , and will hold <2388 chazaq >
thine hand <3027 yad > , and will keep <5341 natsar > thee ,
and give <5414 nathan > thee for a covenant <1285 b@riyth > of
the people <5971 <am > , for a light <0216 >owr > of the
Gentiles <1471 gowy > ;

: 7 To open <6491 paqach > the blind <5787 <ivver > eyes <5869
<ayin > , to bring <3318 yatsa> > out the prisoners <0616

sit <3427 yashab > in darkness <2822 choshek > out of the prison
<3608 kele> > house <1004 bayith > .

: 8 I [ am ] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : that [ is ] my name
<8034 shem > : and my glory <3519 kabowd > will I not give <5414
nathan > to another <0312 >acher > , neither my praise <8416
t@hillah > to graven <6456 p@ciyl > images .

: 9 Behold <2009 hinneh > , the former <7223 ri> shown > things
are come <0935 bow> > to pass , and new <2319 chadash > things
do I declare <5046 nagad > : before <2962 terem > they spring
<6779 tsamach > forth I tell <8085 shama< > you of them .

: 10 Sing <7891 shiyr > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > a new
<2319 chadash > song <7892 shiyr > , [ and ] his praise <8416
t@hillah > from the end <7097 qatseh > of the earth < 0776 >erets

thereof .

: 11 Let the wilderness <4057 midbar > and the cities < 5892
<iyr > thereof lift <5375 nasa> > up [ their voice ] , the
villages <2691 chatser > [ that ] Kedar <6938 Qedar > doth
inhabit <3427 yashab > : let the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of
the rock <5553 cela< > sing <7442 ranan > , let them shout
<6681 tsavach > from the top <7218 ro>sh > of the mountains
<2022 har > .

: 12 Let them give <7760 suwm > glory <3519 kabowd > unto the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and declare <5046 nagad > his praise
<8416 t@hillah > in the islands <0339 >iy > .

: 13 . The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall go <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > as a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man < 0376 >iysh > ,
he shall stir <5782 <uwr > up jealousy <7068 qin> ah > like a man

prevail <1396 gabar > against <5921 <al > his enemies <0341

: 14 I have long <5769 <owlam > time holden <2814 chashah > my
peace <7814 s@chowq > ; I have been <1961 hayah > still <2790
charash > , [ and ] refrained <0662 >aphaq > myself : [ now

woman ; I will destroy <5395 nasham > and devour <7602 sha>aph

: 15 I will make <7760 suwm > waste <2717 charab > mountains
<2022 har > and hills <1389 gib<ah > , and dry <3001 yabesh >
up all <3605 kol > their herbs <6212 <eseb > ; and I will make
<7760 suwm > the rivers <5103 n@har > islands < 0339 >iy > , and
I will dry <3001 yabesh > up the pools <98> .

: 16 And I will bring <3212 yalak > the blind <5787 < ivver > by
a way <1870 derek > [ that ] they knew <3045 yada< > not ; I
will lead <1869 darak > them in paths <5410 nathiyb > [ that ]
they have not known <3045 yada< > : I will make <7760 suwm >
darkness <4285 machshak > light <0216 >owr > before <6440 paniym

miyshowr > . These <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > will
I do <6213 <asah > unto them , and not forsake <5800 <azab >
them .

: 17 They shall be turned <5472 cuwg > back <0268 > achowr > ,
they shall be greatly ashamed <0954 buwsh > , that trust <0982
batach > in graven <6459 pecel > images , that say < 0559 >amar

<0430 >elohiym > .

: 18 . Hear <8085 shama< > , ye deaf <2795 cheresh > ; and
look <5027 nabat > , ye blind <5787 <ivver > , that ye may see
<7200 ra>ah > .

: 19 Who <4310 miy > [ is ] blind <5787 <ivver > , but my
servant <5650 <ebed > ? or deaf <2795 cheresh > , as my
messenger <4397 mal>ak > [ that ] I sent <7971 shalach > ?
who <4310 miy > [ is ] blind <5787 <ivver > as [ he that is ]
perfect <7999 shalam > , and blind <5787 <ivver > as the LORD
S <3068 Y@hovah > servant <5650 <ebed > ?

: 20 Seeing <7200 ra>ah > many <7227 rab > things , but thou
observest <8104 shamar > not ; opening <6491 paqach > the ears
<0241 >ozen > , but he heareth <8085 shama< > not .

: 21 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is well <2654 chaphets > pleased
<2654 chaphets > for his righteousness <6664 tsedeq > sake
<4616 ma<an > ; he will magnify <1431 gadal > the law <8451
towrah > , and make [ it ] honourable <0142 >adar > .

: 22 But this <1931 huw> > [ is ] a people <5971 <am > robbed
<0962 bazaz > andspoiled <8154 shacah > ; [ they are ] all
<3605 kol > of them snared <6351 pachach > in holes <2356 chowr

m@chiccah > , and none <0369 >ayin > saith <0559 >amar > ,
Restore <7725 shuwb > .

: 23 Who <4310 miy > among you will give ear <0238 > azan > to
this <2063 zo>th > ? [ who ] will hearken <7181 qashab > and
hear <8085 shama< > for the time <0268 >achowr > to come ?

: 24 Who <4310 miy > gave <5414 nathan > Jacob < 3290 Ya<aqob >
for a spoil <4882 m@shuwcah > , and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to
the robbers <0962 bazaz > ? did not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,
he against whom <2098 zuw > we have sinned <2398 chata> > ? for
they would <14> not walk <1980 halak > in his ways <1870 derek >
, neither <3808 lo> > were they obedient <8085 shama< > unto
his law <8451 towrah > .

: 25 Therefore he hath poured <8210 shaphak > upon him the fury
<2534 chemah > of his anger <0639 >aph > , and the strength
<5807 <ezuwz > of battle <4421 milchamah > : and it hath set
<7760 suwm > him on fire <3857 lahat > round <5439 cabiyb >
about , yet he knew <3045 yada< > not ; and it burned <1197
ba<ar > him , yet he laid <7760 suwm > [ it ] not to heart
<3820 leb > .

for I have redeemed <1350 ga>al > thee , I have called <7121

mine .

: 2 When <3588 kiy > thou passest <5674 <abar > through the

the rivers <5103 n@har > , they shall not overflow < 7857

Yisra>el > , thy Saviour <3467 yasha< > : I gave <5414 nathan >
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > [ for ] thy ransom <3724 kopher > ,
Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh > and Seba <5434 C@ba> > for thee .

: 4 Since thou wast precious <3365 yaqar > in my sight < 5869

loved <0157 >ahab > thee : therefore will I give < 5414 nathan >

Give <5414 nathan > up ; and to the south <8486 teyman > ,
Keep <3607 kala> > not back <3607 kala> > : bring <0935 bow> >
my sons <1121 ben > from far <7350 rachowq > , and my daughters

and beside <1107 bil<adey > me [ there is ] no < 0369 >ayin >
saviour <3467 yasha< > .

qadowsh > One , the creator <1254 bara> > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > , your King <4428 melek > .

: 16 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

shall not rise <6965 quwm > : they are extinct <1846 da<ak > ,
they are quenched <3518 kabah > as tow <6594 pishtah > .

: 18 Remember <2142 zakar > ye not the former <7223 ri>shown >
things , neither <0408 >al > consider <0995 biyn > the things
of old <6931 qadmowniy > .

: 19 Behold <2005 hen > , I will do <6213 <asah > a new <2319
chadash > thing ; now <6258 <attah > it shall spring <6779
tsamach > forth <6779 tsamach > ; shall ye not know < 3045 yada<

: 20 The beast <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > shall
honour <3513 kabad > me , the dragons <8577 tanniyn > and the
owls : because <3588 kiy > I give <5414 nathan > waters <4325

<5103 n@har > in the desert <3452 y@shiymown > , to give drink
<8248 shaqah > to my people <5971 <am > , my chosen <0972

: 21 This <2098 zuw > people <5971 <am > have I formed <3335
yatsar > for myself ; they shall shew <5608 caphar > forth my
praise <8416 t@hillah > .

: 22 . But thou hast not called <7121 qara> > upon me , O
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ; but thou hast been weary < 3021 yaga< >
of me , O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 23 Thou hast not brought <0935 bow> > me the small cattle
<7716 seh > of thy burnt <5930 <olah > offerings ; neither
<3808 lo> > hast thou honoured <3513 kabad > me with thy

<5647 <abad > with an offering <4503 minchah > , nor <3808 lo>

me to serve <5647 <abad > with thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > ,
thou hast wearied <3021 yaga< > me with thine iniquities <5771
<avon > .

: 25 I , [ even ] I , [ am ] he that blotteth <4229
machah > out thy transgressions <6588 pesha< > for mine own sake
<4616 ma<an > , and will not remember <2142 zakar > thy sins
<2403 chatta>ah > .

: 26 Put me in remembrance <2142 zakar > : let us plead <8199

that thou mayest be justified <6663 tsadaq > .

: 27 Thy first <7223 ri>shown > father <1> hath sinned <2398

<6586 pasha< > against me .

: 28 Therefore I have profaned <2490 chalal > the princes <8269

[ there is ] no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > .

and shall declare <5046 nagad > it , and set it in order <6186

ye [ are ] even my witnesses <5707 <ed > . Is there a God

: 9 . They that make <3335 yatsar > a graven <6459 pecel >
image [ are ] all <3605 kol > of them vanity <8414 tohuw > ;
and their delectable <2530 chamad > things shall not profit

<6466 pa<al > in the coals <6352 pecham > , and fashioneth
<3335 yatsar > it with hammers <4717 maqqabah > , and worketh
<6466 pa<al > it with the strength <3581 koach > of his arms

drinketh <8354 shathah > no <3808 lo> > water < 4325 mayim > ,

: 13 The carpenter <2796 charash > stretcheth <5186 natah > out

<1653 geshem > doth nourish <1431 gadal > [ it ] .

: 15 Then shall it be for a man <0120 >adam > to burn <1197

image : he falleth <5456 cagad > down <5456 cagad > unto it ,
and worshippeth <7812 shachah > [ it ] , and prayeth < 6419

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath done <6213 <asah > [ it ] :
shout <7321 ruwa< > , ye lower <8482 tachtiy > parts of the

: 6 I was wroth <7107 qatsaph > with my people <5971 <am > , I
have polluted <2490 chalal > mine inheritance <5159 nachalah > ,

: Isaiah 48

: 1 . Hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2063 zo>th > , O house

<7121 qara> > by the name <8034 shem > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

waters <4325 mayim > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , which swear

<0571 >emeth > , nor <3808 lo> > in righteousness <6666

: 2 For they call <7121 qara> > themselves of the holy <6944
qodesh > city <5892 <iyr > , and stay <5564 camak > themselves
upon the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ; The
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [ is ] his name
<8034 shem > .

: 3 I have declared <5046 nagad > the former <7223 ri>shown >
things from the beginning <0227 >az > ; and they went <3318

I shewed <8085 shama< > them ; I did <6213 <asah > [ them ]
suddenly <6597 pith>owm > , and they came <0935 bow> > to pass .


: 4 Because I knew <1847 da<ath > that thou [ art ] obstinate
<7186 qasheh > , and thy neck <6203 <oreph > [ is ] an iron
<1270 barzel > sinew <1517 giyd > , and thy brow < 4696 metsach

: 5 I have even from the beginning <0227 >az > declared <5046
nagad > [ it ] to thee ; before <2962 terem > it came <0935

<6435 pen > thou shouldest say <0559 >amar > , Mine idol <6090
<otseb > hath done <6213 <asah > them , and my graven <6459
pecel > image , and my molten <5262 necek > image , hath
commanded <6680 tsavah > them .

: 6 Thou hast heard <8085 shama< > , see <2372 chazah > all
<3605 kol > this ; and will not ye declare <5046 nagad > [ it ]
? I have shewed <8085 shama< > thee new <2319 chadash > things
from this time <6258 <attah > , even hidden <5341 natsar >
things , and thou didst not know <3045 yada< > them .

: 7 They are created <1254 bara> > now <6258 < attah > , and
not from the beginning <0227 >az > ; even before < 6440 paniym >
the day <3117 yowm > when thou heardest <8085 shama< > them not ;
lest <6435 pen > thou shouldest say <0559 >amar > , Behold
<2009 hinneh > , I knew <3045 yada< > them .

: 8 Yea <1571 gam > , thou heardest <8085 shama< > not ; yea
<1571 gam > , thou knewest <3045 yada< > not ; yea <1571 gam >
, from that time <0227 >az > [ that ] thine ear < 0241 >ozen >
was not opened <6605 pathach > : for I knew <3045 yada< > that
thou wouldest deal very <0898 bagad > treacherously < 0898 bagad

from the womb <0990 beten > .

: 9 . For my name s <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > will I
defer <0748 >arak > mine anger <0639 >aph > , and for my praise
<8416 t@hillah > will I refrain <2413 chatam > for thee , that
I cut <3772 karath > thee not off .

: 10 Behold <2009 hinneh > , I have refined <6884 tsaraph >
thee , but not with silver <3701 keceph > ; I have chosen
<0977 bachar > thee in the furnace <3564 kuwr > of affliction
<6040 <oniy > .

: 11 For mine own sake <4616 ma<an > , [ even ] for mine own
sake <4616 ma<an > , will I do <6213 <asah > [ it ] : for how
<0349 >eyk > should [ my name ] be polluted <2490 chalal > ?
and I will not give <5414 nathan > my glory <3519 kabowd > unto
another <0312 >acher > .

: 12 Hearken <8085 shama< > unto me , O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >

and hear <8085 shama< > ; which <4310 miy > among them hath
declared <5046 nagad > these <0428 >el - leh > [ things ] ?
The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath loved <0157 >ahab > him : he will

Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > .

hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2063 zo>th > ; I have not spoken

hath sent <7971 shalach > me .

: 17 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , thy Redeemer <1350 ga>al > , the Holy <6918
qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ; I [ am ] the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > which teacheth <3925
lamad > thee to profit <3276 ya<al > , which leadeth <1869
darak > thee by the way <1870 derek > [ that ] thou shouldest
go <3212 yalak > .

: 18 O that thou hadst hearkened <7181 qashab > to my
commandments <4687 mitsvah > ! then had thy peace <7965 shalowm

sand <2344 chowl > , and the offspring <6631 tse> etsa> > of thy
bowels <4578 me<ah > like the gravel <4579 me<ah > thereof ;
his name <8034 shem > should not have been cut <3772 karath >

: 20 Go <3318 yatsa> > ye forth <3318 yatsa> > of Babylon <0894
Babel > , flee <1272 barach > ye from the Chaldeans < 3778
Kasdiy > , with a voice <6963 qowl > of singing < 7440 rinnah >

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath redeemed <1350 ga>al > his servant

caused the waters <4325 mayim > to flow <5140 nazal > out of the
rock <6697 tsuwr > for them : he clave <1234 baqa< > the rock
<6697 tsuwr > also , and the waters <4325 mayim > gushed <2100
zuwb > out .

: 22 [ There is ] no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm > ,
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , unto the wicked

: 1 . Listen <8085 shama< > , O isles <0339 >iy > , unto me ;
and hearken <7181 qashab > , ye people <3816 l@om > , from
far <7350 rachowq > ; The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called
<7121 qara> > me from the womb <0990 beten > ; from the bowels
<4578 me<ah > of my mother <0517 >em > hath he made mention
<2142 zakar > of my name <8034 shem > .

: 2 And he hath made <7760 suwm > my mouth <6310 peh > like a
sharp <2299 chad > sword <2719 chereb > ; in the shadow <6738
tsel > of his hand <3027 yad > hath he hid <2244> me , and made
<7760 suwm > me a polished <1305 barar > shaft < 2671 chets > ;
in his quiver <0827 >ashpah > hath he hid <5641 cathar > me ;

: 3 And said <0559 >amar > unto me , Thou [ art ] my servant

: 4 Then I said <0559 >amar > , I have laboured < 3021 yaga< >
in vain <7385 riyq > , I have spent <3615 kalah > my strength
<3581 koach > for nought <8414 tohuw > , and in vain <1892

<6468 p@<ullah > with my God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 5 And now <6258 <attah > , saith <0559 >amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > that formed <3335 yatsar > me from the womb

Though Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be not gathered <0622 >acaph > ,

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and my God <0430 > elohiym > shall
be my strength <5797 <oz > .

: 6 And he said <0559 >amar > , It is a light <7043 qalal >
thing that thou shouldest be my servant <5650 <ebed > to raise

that [ are ] in darkness <2822 choshek > , Shew <1540 galah >

: 14 But Zion <6726 Tsiyown > said <0559 >amar > , The LORD

sucking <5764 <uwl > child , that she should not have
compassion <7355 racham > on the son <1121 ben > of her womb

upon the palms <3709 kaph > of [ my ] hands <3709 kaph > ;
thy walls <2346 chowmah > [ are ] continually <8548 tamiyd >

: 19 For thy waste <2723 chorbah > and thy desolate < 8074

destruction <2035 hariycuwth > , shall even <3588 kiy > now

give <5066 nagash > place <4725 maqowm > to me that I may dwell

to the people <5971 <am > : and they shall bring < 0935 bow> >
thy sons <1121 ben > in [ their ] arms <2684 chotsen > , and
thy daughters <1121 ben > shall be carried <5375 nasa> > upon [

: 23 And kings <4428 melek > shall be thy nursing <0539 >aman >
fathers , and their queens <8282 sarah > thy nursing < 3243

the prey <4455 malqowach > of the terrible <6184 < ariyts > shall
be delivered <4422 malat > : for I will contend <7378 riyb >
with him that contendeth <3401 yariyb > with thee , and I will
save <3467 yasha< > thy children <1121 ben > .

: 26 And I will feed <0398 >akal > them that oppress <3238

shall be drunken <7937 shakar > with their own blood < 1818 dam >

: 2 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > , when I came <0935 bow> > ,
[ was there ] no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > ? when I
called <7121 qara> > , [ was there ] none <0369 >ayin > to

qatsar > at all , that it cannot redeem <6304 p@duwth > ? or
have I no <0369 >ayin > power <3581 koach > to deliver <5337

dry <2717 charab > up the sea <3220 yam > , I make <7760 suwm >
the rivers <5103 n@har > a wilderness <4057 midbar > : their

blackness <6940 qadruwth > , and I make <7760 suwm > sackcloth
<8242 saq > their covering <3682 k@cuwth > .

: 4 . The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath given
<5414 nathan > me the tongue <3956 lashown > of the learned

rebellious <4784 marah > , neither <3808 lo> > turned <5472

plucked <4803 marat > off the hair : I hid <5641 cathar > not my

I called <7121 qara> > him alone <0259 >echad > , and blessed

thanksgiving <8426 towdah > , and the voice <6963 qowl > of
melody <2172 zimrah > .

and give ear <0238 >azan > unto me , O my nation < 3816 l@om >
: for a law <8451 towrah > shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > from me ,
and I will make my judgment <4941 mishpat > to rest < 7280

earth <0776 >erets > beneath <8478 tachath > : for the heavens

z@rowa< > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > revealed < 1540 galah > ?

: 2 For he shall grow <5927 <alah > up before <6440 paniym >
him as a tender <3126 yowneq > plant , and as a root < 8328
sheresh > out of a dry <6723 tsiyah > ground <0776 >erets > : he
hath no <3808 lo> > form <8389 to>ar > nor < 3808 lo> >

him , [ there is ] no <3808 lo> > beauty <4758 mar>eh > that

: 3 He is despised <0959 bazah > and rejected <2310 chadel > of

and we hid <5641 cathar > as it were [ our ] faces < 6440

esteemed him not .

: 4 . Surely <0403 >aken > he hath borne <5375 nasa> > our
griefs <2483 choliy > , and carried <5445 cabal > our sorrows
<4341 mak>ob > : yet we did esteem <2803 chashab > him stricken
<5060 naga< > , smitten <5221 nakah > of God < 0430 >elohiym > ,
and afflicted <6031 <anah > .

: 5 But he [ was ] wounded <2490 chalal > for our
transgressions <6588 pesha< > , [ he was ] bruised <1792

<4148 muwcar > of our peace <7965 shalowm > [ was ] upon him ;

the iniquity <5771 <avon > of us all <3605 kol > .

: 7 He was oppressed <5065 nagas > , and he was afflicted
<6031 <anah > , yet he opened <6605 pathach > not his mouth
<6310 peh > : he is brought <2986 yabal > as a lamb <7716 seh >
to the slaughter <2875 Tebach > , and as a sheep <7353 rachel >
before <6440 paniym > her shearers <1494 gazaz > is dumb <0481

: 8 He was taken <3947 laqach > from prison <6115 < otser > and
from judgment <4941 mishpat > : and who <4310 miy > shall
declare <7878 siyach > his generation <1755 dowr > ? for he was
cut <1504 gazar > off out of the land <0776 >erets > of the
living <2416 chay > : for the transgression <6588 pesha< > of my
people <5971 <am > was he stricken <5061 nega< > .

: 9 And he made <5414 nathan > his grave <6913 qeber > with the
wicked <7563 rasha< > , and with the rich <6223 < ashiyr > in
his death <4194 maveth > ; because <5921 <al > he had done
<6213 <asah > no <3808 lo> > violence <2555 chamac > , neither
<3808 lo> > [ was any ] deceit <4820 mirmah > in his mouth
<6310 peh > .

: 10 . Yet it pleased <2654 chaphets > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<2470 chalah > : when <0518 >im > thou shalt make <7760 suwm >
his soul <5315 nephesh > an offering for sin <0817 > asham > ,
he shall see <7200 ra>ah > [ his ] seed <2233 zera< > , he

the pleasure <2656 chephets > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall
prosper <6743 tsalach > in his hand <3027 yad > .

: 11 He shall see <7200 ra>ah > of the travail <5999 <amal > of
his soul <5315 nephesh > , [ and ] shall be satisfied <7646

<6662 tsaddiyq > servant <5650 <ebed > justify < 6663 tsadaq >
many <7227 rab > ; for he shall bear <5445 cabal > their
iniquities <5771 <avon > .

: 12 Therefore <3651 ken > will I divide <5312 n@phaq > him [
a portion ] with the great <7227 rab > , and he shall divide
<5312 n@phaq > the spoil <7998 shalal > with the strong <6099

<5315 nephesh > unto death <4194 maveth > : and he was numbered
<4487 manah > with the transgressors <6586 pasha< > ; and he
bare <5375 nasa> > the sin <2399 chet> > of many <7227 rab > ,
and made intercession <6293 paga< > for the transgressors <6586

: 4 Fear <3372 yare> > not ; for thou shalt not be ashamed
<0954 buwsh > : neither <0408 >al > be thou confounded <3637

for thou shalt forget <7911 shakach > the shame <1322 bosheth >

: 6 . For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> >
thee as a woman <0802 >ishshah > forsaken <5800 < azab > and
grieved <6087 <atsab > in spirit <7307 ruwach > , and a wife

: 7 For a small <6996 qatan > moment <7281 rega< > have I
forsaken <5800 <azab > thee ; but with great <1419 gadowl >
mercies <7356 racham > will I gather <6908 qabats > thee .

<7281 rega< > ; but with everlasting <5769 <owlam > kindness
<2617 checed > will I have mercy <7355 racham > on thee , saith

nation <1471 gowy > [ that ] thou knowest <3045 yada< > not ,
and nations <1471 gowy > [ that ] knew <3045 yada< > not thee

may be found <4672 matsa> > , call <7121 qara> > ye upon him
while he is near <7138 qarowb > :

: 7 Let the wicked <7563 rasha< > forsake <5800 < azab > his way

mercy <7355 racham > upon him ; and to our God <0430 >elohiym >

instead <8478 tachath > of the brier <5636 carpad > shall come

and your sins <2403 chatta>ah > have hid <5641 cathar > [ his

: 3 For your hands <3709 kaph > are defiled <1351 ga> al > with
blood <1818 dam > , and your fingers <0676 >etsba< > with
iniquity <5771 <avon > ; your lips <8193 saphah > have spoken
<1696 dabar > lies <8267 sheqer > , your tongue < 3956 lashown >

for truth <0530 >emuwnah > : they trust <0982 batach > in vanity

they conceive <2029 harah > mischief <5999 <amal > , and bring
<3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > iniquity <0205 >aven > .

: 5 They hatch <1234 baqa< > cockatrice <6848 tsepha< > eggs
<1000 beytsah > , and weave <0707 >arag > the spider s <5908

garments <0899 beged > , neither <3808 lo> > shall they cover

: 8 The way <1870 derek > of peace <7965 shalowm > they know

judgment <4941 mishpat > in their goings <4570 ma<gal > : they

whosoever <3605 kol > goeth <1869 darak > therein shall not know

: 9 . Therefore is judgment <4941 mishpat > far <7368 rachaq >
from us , neither <3808 lo> > doth justice <6666 ts@daqah >
overtake <5381 nasag > us : we wait <6960 qavah > for light

<1980 halak > in darkness <0653 >aphelah > .

: 10 We grope <1659 gashash > for the wall <7023 qiyr > like
the blind <5787 <ivver > , and we grope <1659 gashash > as if
[ we had ] no <0369 >ayin > eyes <5869 <ayin > : we stumble

dead <4191 muwth > [ men ] .

: 11 We roar <1993 hamah > all <3605 kol > like bears <1677 dob

[ but ] it is far <7368 rachaq > off from us .

: 12 For our transgressions <6588 pesha< > are multiplied <7231

: 13 In transgressing <6586 pasha< > and lying <3584 kachash >
against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and departing <5253 nacag >
away from our God <0430 >elohiym > , speaking <1696 dabar >
oppression <6233 <osheq > and revolt <5627 carah > , conceiving

: 14 And judgment <4941 mishpat > is turned <5253 nacag > away
backward <0268 >achowr > , and justice <6666 ts@daqah >
standeth <5975 <amad > afar <7350 rachowq > off : for truth

he [ that ] departeth<5493 cuwr > from evil <7451 ra< > maketh
himself a prey <7997 shalal > : and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saw
<7200 ra>ah > [ it ] , and it displeased him that [ there

: 16 . And he saw <7200 ra>ah > that [ there was ] no <0369

there was ] no <0369 >ayin > intercessor <6293 paga< > :
therefore his arm <2220 z@rowa< > brought <3467 yasha< >
salvation <3467 yasha< > unto him ; and his righteousness <6666

: 17 For he put <3847 labash > on righteousness <6666 ts@daqah

: 18 According <5921 <al > to [ their ] deeds < 1578 g@muwlah

fury <2534 chemah > to his adversaries <6862 tsar > ,

his glory <3519 kabowd > from the rising <4217 mizrach > of the

shall come <0935 bow> > in like a flood <5104 nahar > , the
Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall lift
<5127 nuwc > up a standard <5127 nuwc > against him .

Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , and unto them that turn <7725 shuwb >
from transgression <6588 pesha< > in Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,

: 2 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > [ art thou ] red < 0122 >adom >
in thine apparel <3830 l@buwsh > , and thy garments < 0899 beged

: 3 I have trodden <1869 darak > the winepress <6333 puwrah >

in my fury <2534 chemah > , and I will bring <3381 yarad > down
their strength <5332 Netsach > to the earth <0776 > erets > .

: 7 . I will mention <2142 zakar > the lovingkindnesses <2617

not lie <8266 shaqar > : so he was their Saviour <3467 yasha< > .


: 9 In all <3605 kol > their affliction <6869 tsarah > he was
afflicted <6862 tsar > , and the angel <4397 mal>ak > of his

carried <5375 nasa> > them all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm >

: 10 But they rebelled <4784 marah > , and vexed <6087 <atsab

was turned <2015 haphak > to be their enemy <0341 > oyeb > , [

hardened <7188 qashach > our heart <3820 leb > from thy fear

and worketh <6213 <asah > righteousness <6664 tsedeq > , [
those that ] remember <2142 zakar > thee in thy ways < 1870

because <3588 kiy > they are hid <5641 cathar > from mine eyes

: 1 . Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

that ye build <1129 banah > unto me ? and where <0335 >ay > [

: 2 For all <3605 kol > those <0428 >el - leh > [ things ]

: 3 He that killeth <7819 shachat > an ox <7794 showr > [ is
as if ] he slew <5221 nakah > a man <0376 >iysh > ; he that
sacrificeth <2076 zabach > a lamb <7716 seh > , [ as if ] he
cut off a dog s <3611 keleb > neck <6202 <araph > ; he that
offereth <5927 <alah > an oblation <4503 minchah > , [ as if
he offered <5927 <alah > ] swine s <2386 chaziyr > blood <1818

[ as if ] he blessed <1288 barak > an idol <0205 > aven > .
Yea <1571 gam > , they have chosen <0977 bachar > their own

<2654 chaphets > in their abominations <8251 shiqquwts > .

mine eyes <5869 <ayin > , and chose <0977 bachar > [ that ]
in which <0834 >aher > I delighted <2654 chaphets > not .

: 9 Shall I bring <7665 shabar > to the birth <7665 shabar > ,

saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : shall I cause to

peace <7965 shalowm > to her like a river <5104 nahar > , and

and upon swift <3753 karkarah > beasts <3753 karkarah > , to
my holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > Jerusalem <3389
