Isaiah 1





1. The vision <02377> of Isaiah <03470> the son < 01121> of Amoz
<0531>, which <0834> he saw <02372> concerning <05921> Judah
<03063> and Jerusalem <03389> in the days < 03117> of Uzziah
<05818>, Jotham <03147>, Ahaz <0271>, [and] Hezekiah <02396>,
kings <04428> of Judah <03063>.



2. Hear <08085>, O heavens <08064>, and give ear < 0238>, O
earth <0776>: for the LORD <03068> hath spoken < 01696>, I have
nourished <01431> and brought <07311> up children < 01121>, and
they have rebelled <06586> against me.



3 The ox <07794> knoweth <03045> his owner < 07069>, and the ass
<02543> his master's <01167> crib <018>: [but] Israel <03478>
doth not know <03045>, my people <05971> doth not consider
<0995>.



4 Ah <01945> sinful <02398> nation <01471>, a people <05971>
laden <03515> with iniquity <05771>, a seed < 02233> of evildoers
<07489>, children <01121> that are corrupters < 07843>: they have
forsaken <05800> the LORD <03068>, they have provoked <05006>
the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478> unto anger < 05006>, they
are gone <02114> away backward <0268>.



5 Why should ye be stricken <05221> any more <05750> ? ye will
revolt <05627> more and more: the whole <03605> head <07218> is
sick <02483>, and the whole <03605> heart < 03824> faint <01742>.



6 From the sole <03709> of the foot <07272> even unto the head
<07218> [there is] no <0369> soundness <04974> in it; [but]
wounds <06482>, and bruises <02250>, and putrifying <02961>
sores <04347>: they have not been closed <02115>, neither
<03808> bound <02280> up, neither <03808> mollified <07401> with
ointment <08081>.



7 Your country <0776> [is] desolate <08077>, your cities
<05892> [are] burned <08313> with fire <0784>: your land <0127>,
strangers <02114> devour <0398> it in your presence <05048>, and
[it is] desolate <08077>, as overthrown <04114> by strangers
<02114>.



8 And the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726> is left <03498> as a
cottage <05521> in a vineyard <03754>, as a lodge < 04412> in a
garden of cucumbers <04750>, as a besieged <05341> city <05892>.



9 Except <03884> the LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635> had left
<03498> unto us a very <04592> small <04592> remnant <08300>, we
should have been <01961> as Sodom <05467>, [and] we should have
been like <01819> unto Gomorrah <06017>.



10. Hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD < 03068>, ye
rulers <07101> of Sodom <05467>; give ear <0238> unto the law
<08451> of our God <0430>, ye people <05971> of Gomorrah <06017>.



11 To what <04100> purpose [is] the multitude <07230> of your
sacrifices <02077> unto me? saith <0559> the LORD < 03068>: I am
full <07646> of the burnt <05930> offerings of rams <0352>, and
the fat <02459> of fed <04806> beasts <04806>; and I delight
<02654> not in the blood <01818> of bullocks < 06499>, or of
lambs <03532>, or of he goats <06260>.



12 When <03588> ye come <0935> to appear < 07200> before <06440>
me, who <04310> hath required <01245> this < 02063> at your hand
<03027>, to tread <07429> my courts <02691>?



13 Bring <0935> no <03808> more <05750> vain <07723> oblations
<04503>; incense <07004> is an abomination < 08441> unto me; the
new <02320> moons <02320> and sabbaths <07676>, the calling
<07121> of assemblies <04744>, I cannot away with; [it is]
iniquity <0205>, even the solemn <02282> meeting < 06116>.



14 Your new <02320> moons <02320> and your appointed <04150>
feasts my soul <05315> hateth <08130>: they are a trouble
<02960> unto me; I am weary <03811> to bear < 05375> [them].



15 And when ye spread <06566> forth your hands < 03709>, I will
hide <05956> mine eyes <05869> from you: yea < 01571>, when
<03588> ye make many <07235> prayers <08605>, I will not hear
<08085>: your hands <03027> are full <04390> of blood <01818>.



16. Wash <07364> you, make you clean <02135>; put <05493> away
<05493> the evil <07455> of your doings <04611> from before
<05048> mine eyes <05869>; cease <02308> to do evil <07489>;



17 Learn <03925> to do well <03190>; seek < 01875> judgment
<04941>, relieve <0833> the oppressed <02541>, judge <08199> the
fatherless <03490>, plead <07378> for the widow < 0490>.



18 Come <03212> now <04994>, and let us reason < 03198> together,
saith <0559> the LORD <03068>: though <0518> your sins <02399>
be as scarlet <08144>, they shall be as white <03835> as snow
<07950>; though <0518> they be red <0119> like <01819> crimson
<08438>, they shall be as wool <06785>.



19 If <0518> ye be willing <014> and obedient < 08085>, ye shall
eat <0398> the good <02898> of the land <0776>:



20 But if <0518> ye refuse <03985> and rebel < 04784>, ye shall
be devoured <0398> with the sword <02719>: for the mouth <06310>
of the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> [it].



21. How <0349> is the faithful <0539> city < 07151> become
<01961> an harlot <02181>! it was full <04392> of judgment
<04941>; righteousness <06664> lodged <03885> in it; but now
<06258> murderers <07523>.



22 Thy silver <03701> is become <01961> dross < 05509>, thy wine
<05435> mixed <04107> with water <04325>:



23 Thy princes <08269> [are] rebellious <05637>, and companions
<02270> of thieves <01590>: every <03605> one loveth <0157>
gifts <07810>, and followeth <07291> after rewards <08021>: they
judge <08199> not the fatherless <03490>, neither < 03808> doth
the cause <07379> of the widow <0490> come < 0935> unto them.



24 Therefore <03651> saith <05002> the Lord < 0113>, the LORD
<03068> of hosts <06635>, the mighty <046> One of Israel <03478>,
Ah <01945>, I will ease <05162> me of mine adversaries <06862>,
and avenge <05358> me of mine enemies <0341>:



25 And I will turn <07725> my hand <03027> upon thee, and
purely <01252> purge <06884> away thy dross < 05509>, and take
<05493> away <05493> all <03605> thy tin < 0913>:



26 And I will restore <07725> thy judges <08199> as at the
first <07223>, and thy counsellors <03289> as at the beginning
<08462>: afterward thou shalt be called <07121>, The city
<05892> of righteousness <06664>, the faithful < 0539> city
<07151>.



27 Zion <06726> shall be redeemed <06299> with judgment <04941>,
and her converts <07725> with righteousness <06666>.



28 And the destruction <07667> of the transgressors < 06586> and
of the sinners <02400> [shall be] together <03162>, and they
that forsake <05800> the LORD <03068> shall be consumed <03615>.



29 For they shall be ashamed <0954> of the oaks < 0352> which
<0834> ye have desired <02530>, and ye shall be confounded
<02659> for the gardens <01593> that ye have chosen <0977>.



30 For ye shall be as an oak <0424> whose leaf < 05929> fadeth
<05034>, and as a garden <01593> that hath no < 0369> water
<04325>.



31 And the strong <02634> shall be as tow <05296>, and the
maker <06467> of it as a spark <05213>, and they shall both
<08147> burn <01197> together <03162>, and none <0369> shall
quench <03518> [them].



Isaiah 2



1. The word <01697> that Isaiah <03470> the son < 01121> of Amoz
<0531> saw <02372> concerning <05921> Judah < 03063> and
Jerusalem <03389>.



2 And it shall come <01961> to pass in the last < 0319> days
<03117>, [that] the mountain <02022> of the LORD'S <03068> house
<01004> shall be established <03559> in the top < 07218> of the
mountains <02022>, and shall be exalted <05375> above the hills
<01389>; and all <03605> nations <01471> shall flow <05102> unto
it.



3 And many <07227> people <05971> shall go < 01980> and say
<0559>, Come <03212> ye, and let us go <05927> up to the
mountain <02022> of the LORD <03068>, to the house <01004> of
the God <0430> of Jacob <03290>; and he will teach <03384> us of
his ways <01870>, and we will walk <03212> in his paths <0734>:
for out of Zion <06726> shall go <03318> forth < 03318> the law
<08451>, and the word <01697> of the LORD < 03068> from Jerusalem
<03389>.



4 And he shall judge <08199> among <0996> the nations <01471>,
and shall rebuke <03198> many <07227> people < 05971>: and they
shall beat <03807> their swords <02719> into plowshares <0855>,
and their spears <02595> into pruninghooks <04211>: nation
<01471> shall not lift <05375> up sword <02719> against <0413>
nation <01471>, neither <03808> shall they learn < 03925> war
<04421> any more <05750>.



5 O house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, come < 03212> ye, and let us
walk <03212> in the light <0216> of the LORD < 03068>.



6. Therefore thou hast forsaken <05203> thy people < 05971> the
house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, because <03588> they be
replenished <04390> from the east <06924>, and [are] soothsayers
<06049> like the Philistines <06430>, and they please <05606>
themselves in the children <03206> of strangers < 05237>.



7 Their land <0776> also is full <04390> of silver <03701> and
gold <02091>, neither <03808> [is there any] end < 07097> of
their treasures <0214>; their land <0776> is also full <04390>
of horses <05483>, neither <03808> [is there any] end <07097> of
their chariots <04818>:



8 Their land <0776> also is full <04390> of idols <0457>; they
worship <07812> the work <04639> of their own hands <03027>,
that which <0834> their own fingers <0676> have made <06213>:



9 And the mean <0120> man <01201> boweth < 07817> down <07817>,
and the great man <0376> humbleth <08213> himself: therefore
forgive <05375> them not.



10. Enter <0935> into the rock <06697>, and hide < 02934> thee
in the dust <06083>, for fear <06343> of the LORD < 03068>, and
for the glory <01926> of his majesty <01347>.



11 The lofty <01365> looks <05869> of man < 0120> shall be
humbled <08213>, and the haughtiness <07312> of men <0582> shall
be bowed <07817> down <07817>, and the LORD < 03068> alone <0905>
shall be exalted <07682> in that day <03117>.



12 For the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>
[shall be] upon every <03605> [one that is] proud < 01343> and
lofty <07311>, and upon every <03605> [one that is] lifted
<05375> up; and he shall be brought <08213> low < 08213>:



13 And upon all <03605> the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <03844>,
[that are] high <07311> and lifted <05375> up, and upon all
<03605> the oaks <0437> of Bashan <01316>,



14 And upon all <03605> the high <07311> mountains <02022>, and
upon all <03605> the hills <01389> [that are] lifted <05375> up,



15 And upon every <03605> high <01364> tower < 04026>, and upon
every <03605> fenced <01219> wall <02346>,



16 And upon all <03605> the ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659>,
and upon all <03605> pleasant <02532> pictures < 07914>.



17 And the loftiness <01365> of man <0120> shall be bowed
<07817> down <07817>, and the haughtiness < 07312> of men <0582>
shall be made low <08213>: and the LORD <03068> alone <0905>
shall be exalted <07682> in that day <03117>.



18 And the idols <0457> he shall utterly <03632> abolish
<02498>.



19 And they shall go <0935> into the holes <04631> of the rocks
<06697>, and into the caves <04247> of the earth < 06083>, for
fear <06343> of the LORD <03068>, and for the glory <01926> of
his majesty <01347>, when he ariseth <06965> to shake <06206>
terribly <06206> the earth <0776>.



20 In that day <03117> a man <0120> shall cast < 07993> his
idols <0457> of silver <03701>, and his idols < 0457> of gold
<02091>, which <0834> they made [each one] for himself to
worship <07812>, to the moles <02661> and to the bats <05847>;



21 To go <0935> into the clefts <05366> of the rocks <06697>,
and into the tops <05585> of the ragged rocks <05553>, for fear
<06343> of the LORD <03068>, and for the glory < 01926> of his
majesty <01347>, when he ariseth <06965> to shake < 06206>
terribly <06206> the earth <0776>.



22 Cease <02308> ye from man <0120>, whose < 0834> breath
<05397> [is] in his nostrils <0639>: for wherein < 04100> is he
to be accounted <02803> of?



Isaiah 3



1. For, behold <02009>, the Lord <0113>, the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635>, doth take <05493> away <05493> from Jerusalem
<03389> and from Judah <03063> the stay <04937> and the staff
<04938>, the whole <03605> stay <08172> of bread <03899>, and
the whole <03605> stay <04937> of water <04325>,



2 The mighty <01368> man, and the man <0376> of war <04421>,
the judge <08199>, and the prophet <05030>, and the prudent
<07080>, and the ancient <02204>,



3 The captain <08269> of fifty <02572>, and the honourable man,
and the counsellor <03289>, and the cunning <02450> artificer
<02796>, and the eloquent <0995> orator <03908>.



4 And I will give <05414> children <05288> [to be] their
princes <08269>, and babes <08586> shall rule < 04910> over them.



5 And the people <05971> shall be oppressed <05065>, every
<0376> one <0376> by another, and every <0376> one <0376> by his
neighbour <07453>: the child <05288> shall behave < 07292>
himself proudly <07292> against the ancient <02204>, and the
base <07034> against the honourable <03519>.



6 When <03588> a man <0376> shall take <08610> hold <08610> of
his brother <0251> of the house <01004> of his father <01>,
[saying], Thou hast clothing <08071>, be thou our ruler < 07101>,
and [let] this <02063> ruin <04384> [be] under < 08478> thy hand
<03027>:



7 In that day <03117> shall he swear <05375>, saying <0559>, I
will not be an healer <02280>; for in my house <01004> [is]
neither <0369> bread <03899> nor <0369> clothing <08071>: make
<07760> me not a ruler <07101> of the people < 05971>.



8 For Jerusalem <03389> is ruined <03782>, and Judah <03063> is
fallen <05307>: because <03588> their tongue < 03956> and their
doings <04611> [are] against <0413> the LORD < 03068>, to provoke
<04784> the eyes <05869> of his glory <03519>.



9. The shew <01971> of their countenance <06440> doth witness
<05707> against them; and they declare <05046> their sin <02403>
as Sodom <05467>, they hide <03582> [it] not. Woe < 0188> unto
their soul <05315>! for they have rewarded <01580> evil <07451>
unto themselves <01992>.



10 Say <0559> ye to the righteous <06662>, that [it shall be]
well <02896> [with him]: for they shall eat <0398> the fruit
<06529> of their doings <04611>.



11 Woe <0188> unto the wicked <07563>! [it shall be] ill
<07451> [with him]: for the reward <01576> of his hands <03027>
shall be given <06213> him.



12 [As for] my people <05971>, children <05768> [are] their
oppressors <05065>, and women <0802> rule < 04910> over them. O
my people <05971>, they which lead <0833> thee cause [thee] to
err <08582>, and destroy <01104> the way <01870> of thy paths
<0734>.



13 The LORD <03068> standeth <05324> up to plead < 07378>, and
standeth <05975> to judge <01777> the people < 05971>.



14 The LORD <03068> will enter <0935> into judgment <04941>
with the ancients <02204> of his people <05971>, and the princes
<08269> thereof: for ye have eaten <0398> up the vineyard
<03754>; the spoil <01500> of the poor <06041> [is] in your
houses <01004>.



15 What <04100> mean ye [that] ye beat <01792> my people
<05971> to pieces, and grind <02912> the faces < 06440> of the
poor <06041>? saith <05002> the Lord <03068> GOD <03069> of
hosts <06635>.



16. Moreover the LORD <03068> saith <0559>, Because the
daughters <01121> of Zion <06726> are haughty < 01361>, and walk
<03212> with stretched <05186> forth necks < 01627> and wanton
<08265> eyes <05869>, walking <01980> and mincing <02952> [as]
they go <03212>, and making a tinkling <05913> with their feet
<07272>:



17 Therefore the Lord <0136> will smite <05596> with a scab
<05597> the crown <06936> of the head <06936> of the daughters
<01121> of Zion <06726>, and the LORD <03068> will discover
<06168> their secret <06596> parts.



18 In that day <03117> the Lord <0136> will take < 05493> away
<05493> the bravery <08597> of [their] tinkling ornaments
<05914> [about their feet], and [their] cauls <07636>, and
[their] round <07720> tires <07720> like the moon,



19 The chains <05188>, and the bracelets <08285>, and the
mufflers <07479>,



20 The bonnets <06287>, and the ornaments <06807> of the legs
<06807>, and the headbands <07196>, and the tablets, and the
earrings <03908>,



21 The rings <02885>, and nose <0639> jewels < 05141>,



22 The changeable <04254> suits of apparel <04254>, and the
mantles <04595>, and the wimples <04304>, and the crisping
<02754> pins,



23 The glasses <01549>, and the fine linen <05466>, and the
hoods <06797>, and the vails <07289>.



24 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] instead < 08478> of
sweet <01314> smell <01314> there shall be stink < 04716>; and
instead <08478> of a girdle <02290> a rent < 05364>; and instead
<08478> of well <04639> set hair <04748> baldness <07144>; and
instead <08478> of a stomacher <06614> a girding < 04228> of
sackcloth <08242>; [and] burning <03587> instead < 08478> of
beauty <03308>.



25 Thy men <04962> shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>, and
thy mighty <01369> in the war <04421>.



26 And her gates <06607> shall lament <0578> and mourn <056>;
and she [being] desolate <05352> shall sit <03427> upon the
ground <0776>.



Isaiah 4



1. And in that day <03117> seven <07651> women < 0802> shall
take <02388> hold <02388> of one <0259> man < 0376>, saying
<0559>, We will eat <0398> our own bread <03899> , and wear
<03847> our own apparel <08071>: only <07535> let us be called
<07121> by thy name <08034>, to take <0622> away our reproach
<02781>.



2. In that day <03117> shall the branch <06780> of the LORD
<03068> be beautiful <06643> and glorious < 03519>, and the fruit
<06529> of the earth <0776> [shall be] excellent < 01347> and
comely <08597> for them that are escaped <06413> of Israel
<03478>.



3 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that he that is] left
<07604> in Zion <06726>, and [he that] remaineth < 03498> in
Jerusalem <03389>, shall be called <0559> holy < 06918>, [even]
every <03605> one that is written <03789> among the living
<02416> in Jerusalem <03389>:



4 When <0518> the Lord <0136> shall have washed < 07364> away
the filth <06675> of the daughters <01121> of Zion <06726>, and
shall have purged <01740> the blood <01818> of Jerusalem <03389>
from the midst <07130> thereof by the spirit <07307> of judgment
<04941>, and by the spirit <07307> of burning < 01197>.



5 And the LORD <03068> will create <01254> upon every <03605>
dwelling <04349> place of mount <02022> Zion < 06726>, and upon
her assemblies <04744>, a cloud <06051> and smoke < 06227> by day
<03119>, and the shining <05051> of a flaming < 03852> fire
<0784> by night <03915>: for upon all <03605> the glory <03519>
[shall be] a defence <02646>.



6 And there shall be a tabernacle <05521> for a shadow < 06738>
in the daytime <03119> from the heat <02721>, and for a place of
refuge <04268>, and for a covert <04563> from storm <02230> and
from rain <04306>.



Isaiah 5



1. Now <04994> will I sing <07891> to my wellbeloved <03039> a
song <07892> of my beloved <01730> touching his vineyard <03754>.
My wellbeloved <03039> hath a vineyard <03754> in a very
fruitful hill <07161>:



2 And he fenced <05823> it, and gathered out the stones <05619>
thereof, and planted <05193> it with the choicest < 08321> vine
<08321>, and built <01129> a tower <04026> in the midst <08432>
of it, and also <01571> made <02672> a winepress < 03342> therein
<08432>: and he looked <06960> that it should bring <06213>
forth <06213> grapes <06025>, and it brought < 06213> forth
<06213> wild <0891> grapes <0891>.



3 And now <06258>, O inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>,
and men <0376> of Judah <03063>, judge <08199>, I pray <04994>
you, betwixt <0996> me and my vineyard <03754>.



4 What <04100> could have been done <06466> more < 05750> to my
vineyard <03754>, that I have not done <06466> in it? wherefore
<04069>, when I looked <06960> that it should bring <06213>
forth <06213> grapes <06025>, brought <06213> it forth <06213>
wild <0891> grapes <0891>?



5 And now <06258> go to; I will tell <03045> you what I will do
<06213> to my vineyard <03754>: I will take < 05493> away <05493>
the hedge <04881> thereof, and it shall be eaten < 0398> up;
[and] break <06555> down the wall <01447> thereof, and it shall
be trodden <04823> down:



6 And I will lay it waste <01326>: it shall not be pruned
<02167>, nor <03808> digged <05737>; but there shall come
<05927> up briers <08068> and thorns <07898>: I will also
command <06680> the clouds <05645> that they rain < 04305> no
rain <04306> upon it.



7 For the vineyard <03754> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>
[is] the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and the men <0376> of
Judah <03063> his pleasant <08191> plant <05194> : and he looked
<06970> for judgment <04941>, but behold <02009> oppression
<04939>; for righteousness <06666>, but behold < 02009> a cry
<06818>.



8. Woe <01945> unto them that join <05060> house < 01004> to
house <01004>, [that] lay <07126> field <07704> to field <07704>,
till <05704> [there be] no <0675> place <04725> , that they may
be placed <03427> alone <0905> in the midst < 07130> of the earth
<0776>!



9 In mine ears <0241> [said] the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>,
Of a truth many <07227> houses <01004> shall be desolate <08047>,
[even] great <01419> and fair <02896>, without < 0369>
inhabitant <03427>.



10 Yea <03588>, ten <06235> acres <06776> of vineyard <03754>
shall yield <06213> one <0259> bath <01324>, and the seed
<02233> of an homer <02563> shall yield <06213> an ephah <0374>.



11 Woe <01945> unto them that rise <07925> up early <07925> in
the morning <01242>, [that] they may follow <07291> strong drink
<07941>; that continue <0309> until night < 05399>, [till] wine
<03196> inflame <01814> them!



12 And the harp <03658>, and the viol <05035>, the tabret
<08596>, and pipe <02485>, and wine <03196>, are in their feasts
<04960>: but they regard <05027> not the work < 06467> of the
LORD <03068>, neither <03808> consider <07200> the operation
<04639> of his hands <03027>.



13 Therefore <03651> my people <05971> are gone into captivity
<01540>, because [they have] no <01097> knowledge < 01847>: and
their honourable <03519> men <04962> [are] famished <07458>, and
their multitude <01995> dried <06704> up with thirst <06772>.



14 Therefore <03651> hell <07585> hath enlarged < 07337> herself
<05315>, and opened <06473> her mouth <06310> without <01097>
measure <02706>: and their glory <01926>, and their multitude
<01995>, and their pomp <07588>, and he that rejoiceth <05937>,
shall descend <03381> into it.



15 And the mean <0120> man <0120> shall be brought <07817> down
<07817>, and the mighty <0376> man <0376> shall be humbled
<08213>, and the eyes <05869> of the lofty < 01364> shall be
humbled <08213>:



16 But the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall be exalted
<01361> in judgment <04941>, and God <0410> that is holy <06918>
shall be sanctified <06942> in righteousness <06666>.



17 Then shall the lambs <03532> feed <07462> after their manner
<01699>, and the waste <02723> places of the fat < 04220> ones
shall strangers <01481> eat <0398>.



18. Woe <01945> unto them that draw <04900> iniquity <05771>
with cords <02256> of vanity <07723>, and sin < 02402> as it were
with a cart <05699> rope <05688>:



19 That say <0559>, Let him make speed <04116>, [and] hasten
<02363> his work <04639>, that we may see < 07200> [it]: and let
the counsel <06098> of the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>
draw nigh <07126> and come <0935>, that we may know <03045> [it]!



20 Woe <01945> unto them that call <0559> evil < 07451> good
<02896>, and good <02896> evil <07451>; that put <07760>
darkness <02822> for light <0216>, and light < 0216> for darkness
<02822>; that put <07760> bitter <04751> for sweet <04966>, and
sweet <04966> for bitter <04751>!



21 Woe <01945> unto [them that are] wise <02450> in their own
eyes <05869>, and prudent <0995> in their own sight <06440>!



22 Woe <01945> unto [them that are] mighty <01368> to drink
<08354> wine <03196>, and men <0582> of strength <02428> to
mingle <04537> strong drink <07941>:



23 Which justify <06663> the wicked <07563> for reward <07810>,
and take <05493> away <05493> the righteousness < 06666> of the
righteous <06662> from him!



24 Therefore <03651> as the fire <0784> devoureth <0398> the
stubble <07179>, and the flame <03852> consumeth < 07503> the
chaff <02842>, [so] their root <08328> shall be as rottenness
<04716>, and their blossom <06525> shall go < 05927> up as dust
<080>: because <03588> they have cast <03988> away the law
<08451> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and despised
<05006> the word <0565> of the Holy <06918> One of Israel
<03478>.



25 Therefore is the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> kindled
<02734> against his people <05971>, and he hath stretched
<05186> forth his hand <03027> against <05921> them, and hath
smitten <05221> them: and the hills <02022> did tremble <07264>,
and their carcases <05038> [were] torn <05478> in the midst
<07130> of the streets <02351>. For all <03605> this <02063> his
anger <0639> is not turned <07725> away, but his hand <03027>
[is] stretched <05186> out still <05750>.



26 And he will lift <05375> up an ensign <05251> to the nations
<01471> from far <07350>, and will hiss <08319> unto them from
the end <07097> of the earth <0776>: and, behold < 02009>, they
shall come <0935> with speed <04120> swiftly < 07031>:



27 None <0369> shall be weary <05889> nor < 03808> stumble
<03782> among them; none <03808> shall slumber < 05123> nor
<03808> sleep <03463>; neither <03808> shall the girdle <0232>
of their loins <02504> be loosed <06605>, nor < 03808> the
latchet <08288> of their shoes <05275> be broken < 05423>:



28 Whose <0834> arrows <02671> [are] sharp < 08150>, and all
<03605> their bows <07198> bent <01869>, their horses <05483>'
hoofs <06541> shall be counted <02803> like flint < 06864>, and
their wheels <01534> like a whirlwind:



29 Their roaring <07581> [shall be] like a lion < 03833>, they
shall roar <07580> like young <03715> lions < 03715>: yea, they
shall roar <05098>, and lay hold <0270> of the prey <02964>, and
shall carry <06403> [it] away safe <06403>, and none <0369>
shall deliver <05337> [it].



30 And in that day <03117> they shall roar <05098> against
<05921> them like the roaring <05100> of the sea < 03220>: and if
[one] look <05027> unto the land <0776>, behold < 02009> darkness
<02822> [and] sorrow <06862>, and the light < 0216> is darkened
<02821> in the heavens <06183> thereof.



Isaiah 6



1. In the year <08141> that king <04428> Uzziah < 05818> died
<04194> I saw <07200> also the Lord <0136> sitting <03427> upon
a throne <03678>, high <07311> and lifted < 05375> up, and his
train <07757> filled <04390> the temple <01964>.



2 Above <04605> it stood <05975> the seraphims < 08314>: each
<0259> one <0259> had six <08337> wings < 03671>; with twain
<08147> he covered <03680> his face <06440>, and with twain
<08147> he covered <03680> his feet <07272>, and with twain
<08147> he did fly <05774>.



3 And one cried <07121> unto another <02088>, and said <0559>,
Holy <06918>, holy <06918>, holy <06918>, [is] the LORD <03068>
of hosts <06635>: the whole <03605> earth <0776> [is] full
<04393> of his glory <03519>.



4 And the posts <0520> of the door <05592> moved < 05128> at the
voice <06963> of him that cried <07121>, and the house <01004>
was filled <04390> with smoke <06227>.



5. Then said <0559> I, Woe <0188> [is] me! for I am undone
<01820>; because <03588> I [am] a man <0376> of unclean <02931>
lips <08193>, and I dwell <03427> in the midst < 08432> of a
people <05971> of unclean <02931> lips <08193>: for mine eyes
<05869> have seen <07200> the King <04428>, the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635>.



6 Then flew <05774> one <0259> of the seraphims < 08314> unto me,
having a live <07531> coal <07531> in his hand < 03027>, [which]
he had taken <03947> with the tongs <04457> from off <05921> the
altar <04196>:



7 And he laid <05060> [it] upon my mouth <06310>, and said
<0559>, Lo <02009>, this <02088> hath touched <05060> thy lips
<08193>; and thine iniquity <05771> is taken < 05493> away
<05493>, and thy sin <02403> purged <03722>.



8 Also I heard <08085> the voice <06963> of the Lord <0136>,
saying <0559>, Whom shall I send <07971>, and who < 04310> will
go <03212> for us? Then said <0559> I, Here < 02005> [am] I; send
<07971> me.



9. And he said <0559>, Go <03212>, and tell < 0559> this <02088>
people <05971>, Hear <08085> ye indeed, but understand <0995>
not; and see <07200> ye indeed, but perceive <03045> not.



10 Make the heart <03820> of this <02088> people < 05971> fat
<08082>, and make their ears <0241> heavy < 03513>, and shut
<08173> their eyes <05869>; lest <06435> they see <07200> with
their eyes <05869>, and hear <08085> with their ears <0241>, and
understand <0995> with their heart <03824>, and convert <07725>,
and be healed <07495>.



11 Then said <0559> I, Lord <0136>, how <05704> long <05704>?
And he answered <0559>, Until <05704> the cities < 05892> be
wasted <07582> without <0369> inhabitant <03427> , and the houses
<01004> without <0369> man <0120>, and the land <0127> be
utterly desolate <08077>,



12 And the LORD <03068> have removed <07368> men < 0120> far
<07368> away, and [there be] a great <07227> forsaking <05805>
in the midst <07130> of the land <0776>.



13 But yet <05750> in it [shall be] a tenth <06224>, and [it]
shall return <07725>, and shall be eaten <01197>: as a teil
<0424> tree, and as an oak <0437>, whose <0834> substance
<04678> [is] in them, when <0834> they cast < 07995> [their
leaves: so] the holy <06944> seed <02233> [shall be] the
substance <04678> thereof.



Isaiah 7



1. And it came <01961> to pass in the days <03117> of Ahaz
<0271> the son <01121> of Jotham <03147>, the son <01121> of
Uzziah <05818>, king <04428> of Judah <03063>, [that] Rezin the
king <04428> of Syria <0758>, and Pekah <06492> the son <01121>
of Remaliah <07425>, king <04428> of Israel < 03478>, went
<05927> up toward Jerusalem <03389> to war < 04421> against
<05921> it, but could <03201> not prevail < 03898> against
<05921> it.



2 And it was told <05046> the house <01004> of David <01732>,
saying <0559>, Syria <0758> is confederate < 05117> with Ephraim
<0669>. And his heart <03824> was moved <05128>, and the heart
<03824> of his people <05971>, as the trees < 06086> of the wood
<03293> are moved <05128> with the wind <07307>.



3 Then said <0559> the LORD <03068> unto Isaiah < 03470>, Go
<03318> forth <03318> now <04994> to meet < 07125> Ahaz <0271>,
thou, and Shearjashub <07610> thy son <01121>, at < 0413> the end
<07097> of the conduit <08585> of the upper < 05945> pool <01295>
in the highway <04546> of the fuller's <03526> field <07704>;



4 And say <0559> unto him, Take heed <08104>, and be quiet
<08252>; fear <03372> not, neither <0408> be fainthearted
<03824> for the two <08147> tails <02180> of these <0428>
smoking <06226> firebrands <0181>, for the fierce < 02750> anger
<0639> of Rezin <07526> with Syria <0758>, and of the son
<01121> of Remaliah <07425>.



5 Because Syria <0758>, Ephraim <0669>, and the son <01121> of
Remaliah <07425>, have taken evil <07451> counsel < 03289>
against <05921> thee, saying <0559>,



6 Let us go <05927> up against Judah <03063>, and vex <06972>
it, and let us make a breach <01234> therein for us, and set a
king <04428> in the midst <08432> of it, [even] the son <01121>
of Tabeal <02870>:



7 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, It
shall not stand <06965>, neither <03808> shall it come <01961>
to pass.



8 For the head <07218> of Syria <0758> [is] Damascus <01834>,
and the head <07218> of Damascus <01834> [is] Rezin <07526>; and
within threescore <07657> and five <02568> years < 08141> shall
Ephraim <0669> be broken <02844>, that it be not a people
<05971>.



9 And the head <07218> of Ephraim <0669> [is] Samaria <08111>,
and the head <07218> of Samaria <08111> [is] Remaliah's <07425>
son <01121>. If <0518> ye will not believe < 0539>, surely
<03588> ye shall not be established <0539>.



10. Moreover the LORD <03068> spake <01696> again <03254> unto
Ahaz <0271>, saying <0559>,



11 Ask <07592> thee a sign <0226> of the LORD < 03068> thy God
<0430>; ask <07592> it either in the depth < 06009>, or <0176> in
the height <01361> above <04605>.



12 But Ahaz <0271> said <0559>, I will not ask < 07592>, neither
<03808> will I tempt <05254> the LORD <03068>.



13 And he said <0559>, Hear <08085> ye now < 04994>, O house
<01004> of David <01732>; [Is it] a small < 04592> thing for you
to weary <03811> men <0582>, but will ye weary < 03811> my God
<0430> also <01571>?



14 Therefore <03651> the Lord <0136> himself < 01931> shall give
<05414> you a sign <0226>; Behold <02009>, a virgin <05959>
shall conceive <02030>, and bear <03205> a son < 01121>, and
shall call <07121> his name <08034> Immanuel < 06005>.



15 Butter <02529> and honey <01706> shall he eat < 0398>, that
he may know <03045> to refuse <03988> the evil < 07451>, and
choose <0977> the good <02896>.



16 For before <02962> the child <05288> shall know <03045> to
refuse <03988> the evil <07451>, and choose < 0977> the good
<02896>, the land <0127> that thou abhorrest < 06973> shall be
forsaken <05800> of both <08147> her kings < 04428>.



17. The LORD <03068> shall bring <0935> upon thee, and upon thy
people <05971>, and upon thy father's <01> house < 01004>, days
<03117> that have not come <0935>, from the day < 03117> that
Ephraim <0669> departed <05493> from Judah < 03063>; [even
<0853>] the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>.



18 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] the LORD <03068> shall hiss <08319> for the fly <02070>
that [is] in the uttermost <07097> part of the rivers < 02975> of
Egypt <04714>, and for the bee <01682> that [is] in the land
<0776> of Assyria <0804>.



19 And they shall come <0935>, and shall rest <05117> all
<03605> of them in the desolate <01327> valleys < 05158>, and in
the holes <05357> of the rocks <05553>, and upon all <03605>
thorns <05285>, and upon all <03605> bushes < 05097>.



20 In the same <01931> day <03117> shall the Lord <0136> shave
<01548> with a razor <08593> that is hired < 07917>, [namely], by
them beyond <05676> the river <05104>, by the king <04428> of
Assyria <0804>, the head <07218>, and the hair < 08181> of the
feet <07272>: and it shall also <01571> consume < 05595> the
beard <02206>.



21 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] a man <0376> shall nourish <02421> a young < 01241> cow
<05697>, and two <08147> sheep <06629>;



22 And it shall come <01961> to pass, for the abundance <07230>
of milk <02461> [that] they shall give <06213> he shall eat
<0398> butter <02529>: for butter <02529> and honey <01706>
shall every <03605> one eat <0398> that is left < 03498> in the
land <0776>.



23 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] every <03605> place <04725> shall be, where <0834> there
were a thousand <0505> vines <01612> at a thousand <0505>
silverlings <03701>, it shall [even] be for briers < 08068> and
thorns <07898>.



24 With arrows <02671> and with bows <07198> shall [men] come
<0935> thither <08033>; because <03588> all < 03605> the land
<0776> shall become <01961> briers <08068> and thorns <07898>.



25 And [on] all <03605> hills <02022> that shall be digged
<05737> with the mattock <04576>, there shall not come <0935>
thither <08033> the fear <03374> of briers < 08068> and thorns
<07898>: but it shall be for the sending <04916> forth of oxen
<07794>, and for the treading <04823> of lesser < 07716> cattle
<07716>.



Isaiah 8



1. Moreover the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Take <03947>
thee a great <01419> roll <01549>, and write < 03789> in it with
a man's <0582> pen <02747> concerning Mahershalalhashbaz <04122>.



2 And I took unto me faithful <0539> witnesses < 05707> to
record <05749>, Uriah <0223> the priest <03548>, and Zechariah
<02148> the son <01121> of Jeberechiah <03000>.



3 And I went <07126> unto the prophetess <05031>; and she
conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> a son < 01121>. Then said
<0559> the LORD <03068> to me, Call <07121> his name <08034>
Mahershalalhashbaz <04122>.



4 For before <02962> the child <05288> shall have knowledge
<03045> to cry <07121>, My father <01>, and my mother <0517>,
the riches <02428> of Damascus <01834> and the spoil <07998> of
Samaria <08111> shall be taken <05375> away before <06440> the
king <04428> of Assyria <0804>.



5 The LORD <03068> spake <01696> also unto me again <03254>,
saying <0559>,



6 Forasmuch as this <02088> people <05971> refuseth <03988> the
waters <04325> of Shiloah <07975> that go < 01980> softly <0328>,
and rejoice <04885> in Rezin <07526> and Remaliah's <07425> son
<01121>;



7 Now therefore <03651>, behold <02009>, the Lord <0136>
bringeth <05927> up upon them the waters <04325> of the river
<05104>, strong <06099> and many <07227>, [even <0853>] the king
<04428> of Assyria <0804>, and all <03605> his glory <03519>:
and he shall come <05927> up over <05921> all < 03605> his
channels <0650>, and go <01980> over <05921> all <03605> his
banks <01415>:



8 And he shall pass <02498> through Judah <03063>; he shall
overflow <07857> and go <05674> over <05674>, he shall reach
<05060> [even] to the neck <06677>; and the stretching <04298>
out of his wings <03671> shall fill <04393> the breadth <07341>
of thy land <0776>, O Immanuel <06005>.



9. Associate <07489> yourselves, O ye people <05971>, and ye
shall be broken <02844> in pieces; and give ear <0238> , all
<03605> ye of far <04801> countries <0776>: gird <0247>
yourselves, and ye shall be broken <02844> in pieces; gird
<0247> yourselves, and ye shall be broken <02844> in pieces.



10 Take counsel <06098> together, and it shall come to nought
<06565>; speak <01696> the word <01697>, and it shall not stand
<06965>: for God <0410> [is] with us.



11 For the LORD <03068> spake <0559> thus < 03541> to me with a
strong <02393> hand <03027>, and instructed < 03256> me that I
should not walk <03212> in the way <01870> of this <02088>
people <05971>, saying <0559>,



12 Say <0559> ye not, A confederacy <07195>, to all <03605>
[them to] whom <0834> this <02088> people < 05971> shall say
<0559>, A confederacy <07195>; neither <03808> fear <03372> ye
their fear <04172>, nor <03808> be afraid < 06206>.



13 Sanctify <06942> the LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635> himself;
and [let] him [be] your fear <04172>, and [let] him [be] your
dread <06206>.



14 And he shall be for a sanctuary <04720>; but for a stone
<068> of stumbling <05063> and for a rock < 06697> of offence
<04383> to both <08147> the houses <01004> of Israel <03478>,
for a gin <06341> and for a snare <04170> to the inhabitants
<03427> of Jerusalem <03389>.



15 And many <07227> among them shall stumble <03782>, and fall
<05307>, and be broken <07665>, and be snared < 03369>, and be
taken <03920>.



16. Bind <06887> up the testimony <08584>, seal < 02856> the law
<08451> among my disciples <03928>.



17 And I will wait <02442> upon the LORD <03068>, that hideth
<05641> his face <06440> from the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>,
and I will look <06960> for him.



18 Behold <02009>, I and the children <03206> whom <0834> the
LORD <03068> hath given <05414> me [are] for signs <0226> and
for wonders <04159> in Israel <03478> from the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635>, which dwelleth <07931> in mount < 02022> Zion
<06726>.



19 And when <03588> they shall say <0559> unto you, Seek
<01875> unto them that have familiar spirits <0178>, and unto
wizards <03049> that peep <06850>, and that mutter <01897>:
should not a people <05971> seek <01875> unto their God <0430>?
for the living <02416> to the dead <04191>?



20 To the law <08451> and to the testimony <08584>: if <0518>
they speak <0559> not according to this <02088> word <01697>,
[it is] because <0834> [there is] no <0369> light < 07837> in
them.



21 And they shall pass <05674> through it, hardly < 07185>
bestead and hungry <07456>: and it shall come <01961> to pass,
that when <03588> they shall be hungry <07456>, they shall fret
<07107> themselves, and curse <07043> their king < 04428> and
their God <0430>, and look <06437> upward < 04605>.



22 And they shall look <05027> unto the earth <0776>; and
behold <02009> trouble <06869> and darkness < 02825>, dimness
<04588> of anguish <06695>; and [they shall be] driven <05080>
to darkness <0653>.



Isaiah 9



1. Nevertheless <03588> the dimness <04155> [shall] not [be]
such as [was] in her vexation <04164>, when <06256> at the first
<07223> he lightly <07043> afflicted <07043> the land <0776> of
Zebulun <02074> and the land <0776> of Naphtali < 05321>, and
afterward <0314> did more grievously <03513> afflict <03513>
[her by] the way <01870> of the sea <03220>, beyond <05676>
Jordan <03383>, in Galilee <01551> of the nations < 01471>.



2 The people <05971> that walked <01980> in darkness <02822>
have seen <07200> a great <01419> light <0216>: they that dwell
<03427> in the land <0776> of the shadow <06757> of death
<06757>, upon them hath the light <0216> shined < 05050>.



3 Thou hast multiplied <07235> the nation <01471>, [and] not
increased <01431> the joy <08057>: they joy < 08055> before
<06440> thee according to the joy <08055> in harvest <07105>,
[and] as [men] rejoice <01523> when they divide < 02505> the
spoil <07998>.



4 For thou hast broken <02865> the yoke <05923> of his burden
<05448>, and the staff <04294> of his shoulder < 07926>, the rod
<07626> of his oppressor <05065>, as in the day < 03117> of
Midian <04080>.



5 For every <03605> battle <05430> of the warrior <05431> [is]
with confused <07494> noise, and garments <08071> rolled <01556>
in blood <01818>; but [this] shall be with burning < 08316> [and]
fuel <03980> of fire <0784>.



6 For unto us a child <03206> is born <03205>, unto us a son
<01121> is given <05414>: and the government < 04951> shall be
upon his shoulder <07926>: and his name <08034> shall be called
<07121> Wonderful <06382>, Counsellor <03289>, The mighty
<01368> God <0410>, The everlasting <05703> Father <01>, The
Prince <08269> of Peace <07965>.



7 Of the increase <04768> of [his] government <04951> and peace
<07965> [there shall be] no <0369> end <07093>, upon the throne
<03678> of David <01732>, and upon his kingdom < 04467>, to order
<03559> it, and to establish <05582> it with judgment <04941>
and with justice <06666> from henceforth <06258> even for ever
<05769>. The zeal <07068> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>
will perform <06213> this <02063>.



8. The Lord <03068> sent <07971> a word <01697> into Jacob
<03290>, and it hath lighted <05307> upon Israel < 03478>.



9 And all <03605> the people <05971> shall know < 03045>, [even]
Ephraim <0669> and the inhabitant <03427> of Samaria <08111>,
that say <0559> in the pride <01346> and stoutness <01433> of
heart <03824>,



10 The bricks <03843> are fallen <05307> down, but we will
build <01129> with hewn <01496> stones <01496>: the sycomores
<08256> are cut <01438> down <01438>, but we will change <02498>
[them into] cedars <0730>.



11 Therefore the LORD <03068> shall set <07682> up the
adversaries <06862> of Rezin <07526> against < 05921> him, and
join <05526> his enemies <0341> together;



12 The Syrians <0758> before <06924>, and the Philistines
<06430> behind <0268>; and they shall devour < 0398> Israel
<03478> with open <06605> mouth <06310>. For all <03605> this
<02063> his anger <0639> is not turned <07725> away, but his
hand <03027> [is] stretched <05186> out still < 05750>.



13 For the people <05971> turneth <07725> not unto him that
smiteth <05221> them, neither <03808> do they seek <01875> the
LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.



14 Therefore the LORD <03068> will cut <03772> off from Israel
<03478> head <07218> and tail <02180>, branch <03712> and rush
<0100>, in one <0259> day <03117>.



15 The ancient <02204> and honourable, he [is] the head <07218>;
and the prophet <05030> that teacheth <03384> lies <08267>, he
[is] the tail <02180>.



16 For the leaders <0833> of this <02088> people < 05971> cause
[them] to err <08582>; and [they that are] led <0833> of them
[are] destroyed <01104>.



17 Therefore the Lord <0136> shall have no <03808> joy <08055>
in their young <0970> men, neither <03808> shall have mercy
<07355> on their fatherless <03490> and widows < 0490>: for every
<03605> one [is] an hypocrite <02611> and an evildoer <07489>,
and every <03605> mouth <06310> speaketh <01696> folly <05039>.
For all <03605> this <02063> his anger <0639> is not turned
<07725> away, but his hand <03027> [is] stretched < 05186> out
still <05750>.



18 For wickedness <07564> burneth <01197> as the fire <0784>:
it shall devour <0398> the briers <08068> and thorns <07898>,
and shall kindle <03341> in the thickets <05442> of the forest
<03293>, and they shall mount <055> up [like] the lifting
<01348> up of smoke <06227>.



19 Through the wrath <05678> of the LORD <03068> of hosts
<06635> is the land <0776> darkened <06272>, and the people
<05971> shall be as the fuel <03980> of the fire < 0784>: no
<03808> man <0376> shall spare <02550> his brother <0251>.



20 And he shall snatch <01504> on <05921> the right <03225>
hand <03225>, and be hungry <07456>; and he shall eat <0398> on
<05921> the left <08040> hand <08040>, and they shall not be
satisfied <07646>: they shall eat <0398> every man <0376> the
flesh <01320> of his own arm <02220>:



21 Manasseh <04519>, Ephraim <0669>; and Ephraim < 0669>,
Manasseh <04519>: [and] they together <03162> [shall be] against
<05921> Judah <03063>. For all <03605> this < 02063> his anger
<0639> is not turned <07725> away, but his hand < 03027> [is]
stretched <05186> out still <05750>.



Isaiah 10



1. Woe <01945> unto them that decree <02710> unrighteous <0205>
decrees <02711>, and that write <03789> grievousness <05999>
[which] they have prescribed <03789>;



2 To turn <05186> aside <05186> the needy < 01800> from judgment
<01779>, and to take <01497> away <01497> the right <04941> from
the poor <06041> of my people <05971>, that widows <0490> may be
their prey <07998>, and [that] they may rob <0962> the
fatherless <03490>!



3 And what <04100> will ye do <06213> in the day < 03117> of
visitation <06486>, and in the desolation <07722> [which] shall
come <0935> from far <04801>? to whom <04310> will ye flee
<05127> for help <05833>? and where <0575> will ye leave <05800>
your glory <03519>?



4 Without <01115> me they shall bow <03766> down < 03766> under
<08478> the prisoners <0616>, and they shall fall < 05307> under
<08478> the slain <02026>. For all <03605> this <02063> his
anger <0639> is not turned <07725> away, but his hand <03027>
[is] stretched <05186> out still <05750>.



5. O Assyrian <0804>, the rod <07626> of mine anger <0639>, and
the staff <04294> in their hand <03027> is mine indignation
<02195>.



6 I will send <07971> him against an hypocritical < 02611>
nation <01471>, and against <05921> the people < 05971> of my
wrath <05678> will I give him a charge <06680>, to take <07997>
the spoil <07998>, and to take <0962> the prey < 0957>, and to
tread <04823> them down like the mire <02563> of the streets
<02351>.



7 Howbeit he meaneth <01819> not so <03651>, neither <03808>
doth his heart <03824> think <02803> so <03651>; but [it is] in
his heart <03824> to destroy <08045> and cut < 03772> off nations
<01471> not a few <04592>.



8 For he saith <0559>, [Are] not my princes <08269> altogether
<03162> kings <04428>?



9 [Is] not Calno <03641> as Carchemish <03751>? [is] not Hamath
<02574> as Arpad <0774>? [is] not Samaria < 08111> as Damascus
<01834>?



10 As my hand <03027> hath found <04672> the kingdoms <04467>
of the idols <0457>, and whose graven <06456> images did excel
them of Jerusalem <03389> and of Samaria <08111>;



11 Shall I not, as I have done <06466> unto Samaria < 08111> and
her idols <0457>, so <03651> do <06213> to Jerusalem <03389> and
her idols <06091>?



12 Wherefore it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] when <03588>
the Lord <0136> hath performed <01214> his whole work <04639>
upon mount <02022> Zion <06726> and on Jerusalem < 03389>, I will
punish <06485> the fruit <06529> of the stout < 01433> heart
<03824> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, and the glory
<08597> of his high <07312> looks <05869>.



13 For he saith <0559>, By the strength <03581> of my hand
<03027> I have done <06466> [it], and by my wisdom <02451>; for
I am prudent <0995>: and I have removed <05493> the bounds
<01367> of the people <05971>, and have robbed < 08154> their
treasures <06259>, and I have put <03381> down < 03381> the
inhabitants <03427> like a valiant <03524> [man]:



14 And my hand <03027> hath found <04672> as a nest <07064> the
riches <02428> of the people <05971>: and as one gathereth
<0622> eggs <01000> [that are] left <05800>, have I gathered
<0622> all <03605> the earth <0776>; and there was none <03808>
that moved <05074> the wing <03671>, or opened < 06473> the mouth
<06310>, or peeped <06850>.



15 Shall the axe <01631> boast <06286> itself against <05921>
him that heweth <02672> therewith? [or] shall the saw < 04883>
magnify <01431> itself against <05921> him that shaketh <05130>
it? as if the rod <07626> should shake <05130> [itself] against
them that lift <07311> it up, [or] as if the staff < 04294>
should lift <07311> up [itself, as if it were] no < 03808> wood
<06086>.



16 Therefore <03651> shall the Lord <0113>, the Lord <0136> of
hosts <06635>, send <07971> among his fat < 04924> ones leanness
<07332>; and under <08478> his glory <03519> he shall kindle
<03344> a burning <03350> like the burning < 03345> of a fire
<0784>.



17 And the light <0216> of Israel <03478> shall be for a fire
<0784>, and his Holy <06918> One for a flame < 03852>: and it
shall burn <01197> and devour <0398> his thorns < 07898> and his
briers <08068> in one <0259> day <03117>;



18 And shall consume <03615> the glory <03519> of his forest
<03293>, and of his fruitful <03759> field, both soul <05315>
and body <01320>: and they shall be as when a standardbearer
<05264> fainteth <04549>.



19 And the rest <07605> of the trees <06086> of his forest
<03293> shall be few <04557>, that a child < 05288> may write
<03789> them.



20. And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] the remnant <07605> of Israel <03478>, and such as are
escaped <06413> of the house <01004> of Jacob < 03290>, shall no
<03808> more <05750> again <03254> stay < 04937> upon him that
smote <05221> them; but shall stay <08172> upon the LORD <03068>,
the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>, in truth < 0571>.



21 The remnant <07605> shall return <07725>, [even] the remnant
<07605> of Jacob <03290>, unto the mighty < 01368> God <0410>.



22 For though <0518> thy people <05971> Israel < 03478> be as
the sand <02344> of the sea <03220>, [yet] a remnant <07605> of
them shall return <07725>: the consumption <03631> decreed
<02782> shall overflow <07857> with righteousness < 06666>.



23 For the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts < 06635> shall make
<06213> a consumption <03617>, even determined < 02782>, in the
midst <07130> of all <03605> the land <0776>.



24. Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>
GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>, O my people < 05971> that dwellest
<03427> in Zion <06726>, be not afraid <03372> of the Assyrian
<0804>: he shall smite <05221> thee with a rod < 07626>, and
shall lift <05375> up his staff <04294> against < 05921> thee,
after the manner <01870> of Egypt <04714>.



25 For yet <05750> a very <04213> little < 04592> while, and the
indignation <02195> shall cease <03615>, and mine anger <0639>
in their destruction <08399>.



26 And the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall stir <05782> up
a scourge <07752> for him according to the slaughter < 04347> of
Midian <04080> at the rock <06697> of Oreb < 06157>: and [as] his
rod <04294> [was] upon the sea <03220>, so shall he lift <05375>
it up after the manner <01870> of Egypt <04714>.



27 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] his burden <05448> shall be taken <05493> away <05493>
from off <05921> thy shoulder <07926>, and his yoke <05923> from
off <05921> thy neck <06677>, and the yoke < 05923> shall be
destroyed <02254> because <06440> of the anointing <08081>.



28 He is come <0935> to Aiath <05857>, he is passed <05674> to
Migron <04051>; at Michmash <04363> he hath laid < 06485> up his
carriages <03627>:



29 They are gone <05674> over <05674> the passage <04569>: they
have taken <03885> up their lodging <04411> at Geba <01387>;
Ramah <07414> is afraid <02729>; Gibeah <01390> of Saul <07586>
is fled <05127>.



30 Lift <06670> up thy voice <06963>, O daughter < 01323> of
Gallim <01554>: cause it to be heard <07181> unto Laish <03919>,
O poor <06041> Anathoth <06068>.



31 Madmenah <04088> is removed <05074>; the inhabitants <03427>
of Gebim <01374> gather <05756> themselves to flee.



32 As yet <05750> shall he remain <05975> at Nob < 05011> that
day <03117>: he shall shake <05130> his hand < 03027> [against]
the mount <02022> of the daughter <01004> of Zion < 06726>, the
hill <01389> of Jerusalem <03389>.



33 Behold <02009>, the Lord <0113>, the LORD < 03068> of hosts
<06635>, shall lop <05586> the bough <06288> with terror <04637>:
and the high <07312> ones of stature <06967> [shall be] hewn
<01438> down <01438>, and the haughty <01364> shall be humbled
<08213>.



34 And he shall cut <05362> down the thickets <05442> of the
forest <03293> with iron <01270>, and Lebanon < 03844> shall fall
<05307> by a mighty <0117> one.



Isaiah 11



1. And there shall come <03318> forth <03318> a rod <02415> out
of the stem <01503> of Jesse <03448>, and a Branch <05342> shall
grow <06509> out of his roots <08328>:



2 And the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> shall rest <05117>
upon him, the spirit <07307> of wisdom <02451> and understanding
<0998>, the spirit <07307> of counsel <06098> and might <01369>,
the spirit <07307> of knowledge <01847> and of the fear <03374>
of the LORD <03068>;



3 And shall make him of quick understanding <07306> in the fear
<03374> of the LORD <03068>: and he shall not judge <08199>
after the sight <04758> of his eyes <05869>, neither <03808>
reprove <03198> after <0310> the hearing <04926> of his ears
<0241>:



4 But with righteousness <06664> shall he judge < 08199> the
poor <01800>, and reprove <03198> with equity < 04334> for the
meek <06035> of the earth <0776>: and he shall smite <05221> the
earth <0776> with the rod <07626> of his mouth < 06310>, and with
the breath <07307> of his lips <08193> shall he slay <04191> the
wicked <07563>.



5 And righteousness <06664> shall be the girdle < 0232> of his
loins <04975>, and faithfulness <0530> the girdle < 0232> of his
reins <02504>.



6 The wolf <02061> also shall dwell <01481> with the lamb
<03532>, and the leopard <05246> shall lie < 07257> down <07257>
with the kid <01423>; and the calf <05695> and the young <03715>
lion <03715> and the fatling <04806> together < 03162>; and a
little <06995> child <05288> shall lead <05090> them.



7 And the cow <06510> and the bear <01677> shall feed <07462>;
their young <03206> ones shall lie <07257> down < 07257> together
<03162>: and the lion <0738> shall eat <0398> straw <08401> like
the ox <01241>.



8 And the sucking <03243> child shall play <08173> on <05921>
the hole <02356> of the asp <06620>, and the weaned <01580>
child shall put <01911> his hand <03027> on < 05921> the
cockatrice <06848>' den <03975>.



9 They shall not hurt <07489> nor <03808> destroy <07843> in
all <03605> my holy <06944> mountain <02022>: for the earth
<0776> shall be full <04390> of the knowledge < 01844> of the
LORD <03068>, as the waters <04325> cover < 03680> the sea
<03220>.



10. And in that day <03117> there shall be a root < 08328> of
Jesse <03448>, which <0834> shall stand <05975> for an ensign
<05251> of the people <05971>; to it shall the Gentiles <01471>
seek <01875>: and his rest <04496> shall be glorious <03519>.



11 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] the Lord <0136> shall set his hand <03027> again <03254>
the second <08145> time <06256> to recover < 07069> the remnant
<07605> of his people <05971>, which <0834> shall be left
<07604>, from Assyria <0804>, and from Egypt < 04714>, and from
Pathros <06624>, and from Cush <03568>, and from Elam <05867>,
and from Shinar <08152>, and from Hamath <02574>, and from the
islands <0339> of the sea <03220>.



12 And he shall set <05375> up an ensign <05251> for the
nations <01471>, and shall assemble <0622> the outcasts <01760>
of Israel <03478>, and gather <06908> together the dispersed
<05310> of Judah <03063> from the four <0702> corners <03671> of
the earth <0776>.



13 The envy <07068> also of Ephraim <0669> shall depart <05493>,
and the adversaries <06887> of Judah <03063> shall be cut
<03772> off: Ephraim <0669> shall not envy < 07065> Judah <03063>,
and Judah <03063> shall not vex <06887> Ephraim < 0669>.



14 But they shall fly <05774> upon the shoulders < 03802> of the
Philistines <06430> toward the west <03220>; they shall spoil
<0962> them of the east <06924> together <03162> : they shall lay
<07971> their hand <03027> upon Edom <0123> and Moab <04124>;
and the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> shall obey <04928>
them.



15 And the LORD <03068> shall utterly destroy <02763> the
tongue <03956> of the Egyptian <04714> sea < 03220>; and with his
mighty <05868> wind <07307> shall he shake < 05130> his hand
<03027> over <05921> the river <05104>, and shall smite <05221>
it in the seven <07651> streams <05158>, and make [men] go
<01869> over <01869> dryshod <05275>.



16 And there shall be an highway <04546> for the remnant
<07605> of his people <05971>, which <0834> shall be left
<07604>, from Assyria <0804>; like as it was to Israel <03478>
in the day <03117> that he came <05927> up out of the land
<0776> of Egypt <04714>.



Isaiah 12



1. And in that day <03117> thou shalt say <0559>, O LORD
<03068>, I will praise <03034> thee: though < 03588> thou wast
angry <0599> with me, thine anger <0639> is turned <07725> away,
and thou comfortedst <05162> me.



2 Behold <02009>, God <0410> [is] my salvation < 03444>; I will
trust <0982>, and not be afraid <06342>: for the LORD <03050>
JEHOVAH <03068> [is] my strength <05797> and [my] song <02176>;
he also is become <01961> my salvation <03444>.



3 Therefore with joy <08342> shall ye draw <07579> water
<04325> out of the wells <04599> of salvation < 03444>.



4. And in that day <03117> shall ye say <0559>, Praise <03034>
the LORD <03068>, call <07121> upon his name < 08034>, declare
<03045> his doings <05949> among the people < 05971>, make
mention <02142> that his name <08034> is exalted < 07682>.



5 Sing <02167> unto the LORD <03068>; for he hath done <06466>
excellent <01348> things: this <02063> [is] known < 03045> in all
<03605> the earth <0776>.



6 Cry <06670> out and shout <07442>, thou inhabitant <03427> of
Zion <06726>: for great <01419> [is] the Holy < 06918> One of
Israel <03478> in the midst <07130> of thee.



Isaiah 13



1. The burden <04853> of Babylon <0894>, which < 0834> Isaiah
<03470> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531> did see <02372>.



2 Lift <05375> ye up a banner <05251> upon the high <08192>
mountain <02022>, exalt <07311> the voice < 06963> unto them,
shake <05130> the hand <03027>, that they may go < 0935> into the
gates <06607> of the nobles <05081>.



3 I have commanded <06680> my sanctified <06942> ones, I have
also <01571> called <07121> my mighty <01368> ones for mine
anger <0639>, [even] them that rejoice <05947> in my highness
<01346>.



4 The noise <06963> of a multitude <01995> in the mountains
<02022>, like <01823> as of a great <07227> people <05971>; a
tumultuous <07588> noise <06963> of the kingdoms < 04467> of
nations <01471> gathered <0622> together: the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635> mustereth <06485> the host <06635> of the battle
<04421>.



5 They come <0935> from a far <04801> country < 0776>, from the
end <07093> of heaven <08064>, [even] the LORD < 03068>, and the
weapons <03627> of his indignation <02195>, to destroy <02254>
the whole <03605> land <0776>.



6. Howl <03213> ye; for the day <03117> of the LORD <03068>
[is] at <07138> hand <07138>; it shall come < 0935> as a
destruction <07701> from the Almighty <07706>.



7 Therefore shall all <03605> hands <03027> be faint <07503>,
and every <03605> man's <0582> heart <03824> shall melt <04549>:



8 And they shall be afraid <0926>: pangs <06735> and sorrows
<02256> shall take <0270> hold <0270> of them; they shall be in
pain <02342> as a woman that travaileth <03205>: they shall be
amazed <08539> one <0376> at <0413> another < 07453>; their faces
<06440> [shall be as] flames <03851>.



9 Behold <02009>, the day <03117> of the LORD < 03068> cometh
<0935>, cruel <0394> both with wrath <05678> and fierce <02740>
anger <0639>, to lay the land <0776> desolate < 08047>: and he
shall destroy <08045> the sinners <02400> thereof out of it.



10 For the stars <03556> of heaven <08064> and the
constellations <03685> thereof shall not give their light <0216>:
the sun <08121> shall be darkened <02821> in his going <03318>
forth <03318>, and the moon <03394> shall not cause her light
<0216> to shine <05050>.



11 And I will punish <06485> the world <08398> for [their] evil
<07451>, and the wicked <07563> for their iniquity <05771>; and
I will cause the arrogancy <01347> of the proud < 02086> to cease
<07673>, and will lay low <08213> the haughtiness < 01346> of the
terrible <06184>.



12 I will make a man <0582> more precious <03365> than fine
gold <06337>; even a man <0120> than the golden < 03800> wedge of
Ophir <0211>.



13 Therefore I will shake <07264> the heavens <08064> , and the
earth <0776> shall remove <07493> out of her place <04725>, in
the wrath <05678> of the LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635>, and in
the day <03117> of his fierce <02740> anger < 0639>.



14 And it shall be as the chased <05080> roe <06643>, and as a
sheep <06629> that no <0369> man taketh <06908> up: they shall
every man <0376> turn <06437> to his own people < 05971>, and
flee <05127> every <0376> one into <0413> his own land <0776>.



15 Every <03605> one that is found <04672> shall be thrust
<01856> through <01856>; and every <03605> one that is joined
<05595> [unto them] shall fall <05307> by the sword <02719>.



16 Their children <05768> also shall be dashed < 07376> to
pieces before their eyes <05869>; their houses <01004> shall be
spoiled <08155>, and their wives <0802> ravished < 07693>.



17 Behold <02005>, I will stir <05782> up the Medes <04074>
against <05921> them, which <0834> shall not regard <02803>
silver <03701>; and [as for] gold <02091>, they shall not
delight <02654> in it.



18 [Their] bows <07198> also shall dash <07376> the young
<05288> men to pieces; and they shall have no <03808> pity
<07355> on the fruit <06529> of the womb <0990>; their eye
<05869> shall not spare <02347> children <01121> .



19. And Babylon <0894>, the glory <06643> of kingdoms <04467>,
the beauty <08597> of the Chaldees <03778>' excellency <01347>,
shall be as when God <0430> overthrew <04114> Sodom <05467> and
Gomorrah <06017>.



20 It shall never be inhabited <03427>, neither < 03808> shall
it be dwelt <07931> in from generation <01755> to generation
<01755>: neither <03808> shall the Arabian < 06153> pitch <0167>
tent <0167> there <08033>; neither <03808> shall the shepherds
<07462> make their fold <07257> there <08033>.



21 But wild <06728> beasts <06728> of the desert < 06728> shall
lie <07257> there <08033>; and their houses < 01004> shall be
full <04390> of doleful <0255> creatures <0255>; and owls shall
dwell <07931> there <08033>, and satyrs <08163> shall dance
<07540> there <08033>.



22 And the wild <0338> beasts <0338> of the islands <0338>
shall cry <06030> in their desolate <0490> houses < 0490>, and
dragons <08577> in [their] pleasant <06027> palaces <01964>: and
her time <06256> [is] near <07138> to come < 0935>, and her days
<03117> shall not be prolonged <04900>.



Isaiah 14



1. For the LORD <03068> will have mercy <07355> on Jacob
<03290>, and will yet <05750> choose <0977> Israel <03478>, and
set <03240> them in their own land <0127>: and the strangers
<01616> shall be joined <03867> with them, and they shall cleave
<05596> to the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>.



2 And the people <05971> shall take <03947> them, and bring
<0935> them to their place <04725>: and the house < 01004> of
Israel <03478> shall possess <05157> them in the land <0127> of
the LORD <03068> for servants <05650> and handmaids <08198>: and
they shall take them captives <07617>, whose captives < 07617>
they were; and they shall rule <07287> over their oppressors
<05065>.



3 And it shall come <01961> to pass in the day < 03117> that the
LORD <03068> shall give thee rest <05117> from thy sorrow
<06090>, and from thy fear <07267>, and from the hard <07186>
bondage <05656> wherein <0834> thou wast made to serve <05647>,



4. That thou shalt take <05375> up this <02088> proverb <04912>
against <05921> the king <04428> of Babylon < 0894>, and say
<0559>, How <0349> hath the oppressor <05065> ceased <07673>!
the golden <04062> city <04062> ceased <07673>!



5 The LORD <03068> hath broken <07665> the staff < 04294> of the
wicked <07563>, [and] the sceptre <07626> of the rulers <04910>.



6 He who smote <05221> the people <05971> in wrath <05678> with
a continual stroke <04347>, he that ruled <07287> the nations
<01471> in anger <0639>, is persecuted <04783>, [and] none
<01097> hindereth <02820>.



7 The whole <03605> earth <0776> is at rest < 05117>, [and] is
quiet <08252>: they break <06476> forth into singing <07440>.



8 Yea <01571>, the fir <01265> trees rejoice < 08055> at thee,
[and] the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <03844>, [saying], Since
<0227> thou art laid <07901> down <07901>, no <03808> feller
<03772> is come <05927> up against <05921> us.



9 Hell <07585> from beneath <08478> is moved < 07264> for thee
to meet <07125> [thee] at thy coming <0935>: it stirreth <05782>
up the dead <07496> for thee, [even] all <03605> the chief
<06260> ones of the earth <0776>; it hath raised < 06965> up from
their thrones <03678> all <03605> the kings < 04428> of the
nations <01471>.



10 All <03605> they shall speak <06030> and say < 0559> unto
thee, Art thou also <01571> become <02470> weak < 02470> as we?
art thou become <04911> like <04911> unto us?



11 Thy pomp <01347> is brought <03381> down < 03381> to the
grave <07585>, [and] the noise <01998> of thy viols <05035>: the
worm <07415> is spread <03331> under <08478> thee, and the worms
<08438> cover <04374> thee.



12 How <0349> art thou fallen <05307> from heaven <08064>, O
Lucifer <01966>, son <01121> of the morning < 07837>! [how
<0349>] art thou cut <01438> down <01438> to the ground <0776>,
which didst weaken <02522> the nations <01471>!



13 For thou hast said <0559> in thine heart <03824>, I will
ascend <05927> into heaven <08064>, I will exalt < 07311> my
throne <03678> above <04605> the stars <03556> of God <0410>: I
will sit <03427> also upon the mount <02022> of the congregation
<04150>, in the sides <03411> of the north < 06828>:



14 I will ascend <05927> above <05921> the heights <01116> of
the clouds <05645>; I will be like <01819> the most <05945> High
<05945>.



15 Yet <0389> thou shalt be brought <03381> down < 03381> to
hell <07585>, to the sides <03411> of the pit < 0953>.



16 They that see <07200> thee shall narrowly look < 07688> upon
thee, [and] consider <0995> thee, [saying <0559>, Is] this
<02088> the man <0376> that made the earth < 0776> to tremble
<07264>, that did shake <07493> kingdoms <04467> ;



17 [That] made <07760> the world <08398> as a wilderness
<04057>, and destroyed <02040> the cities < 05892> thereof;
[that] opened <06605> not the house <01004> of his prisoners
<0615>?



18 All <03605> the kings <04428> of the nations < 01471>, [even]
all <03605> of them, lie <07901> in glory < 03519>, every <0376>
one <0376> in his own house <01004>.



19 But thou art cast <07993> out of thy grave <06913> like an
abominable <08581> branch <05342>, [and as] the raiment <03830>
of those that are slain <02026>, thrust <02944> through <02944>
with a sword <02719>, that go <03381> down < 03381> to the stones
<068> of the pit <0953>; as a carcase <06297> trodden <0947>
under feet.



20 Thou shalt not be joined <03161> with them in burial <06900>,
because <03588> thou hast destroyed <07843> thy land <0776>,
[and] slain <02026> thy people <05971>: the seed < 02233> of
evildoers <07489> shall never be renowned <07121>.



21 Prepare <03559> slaughter <04293> for his children <01121>
for the iniquity <05771> of their fathers <01>; that they do not
rise <06965>, nor possess <03423> the land < 0776>, nor fill
<04390> the face <06440> of the world <08398> with cities
<05892>.



22 For I will rise <06965> up against <05921> them, saith
<05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and cut <03772> off
from Babylon <0894> the name <08034>, and remnant < 07605>, and
son <05209>, and nephew <05220>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.



23 I will also make <07760> it a possession <04180> for the
bittern <07090>, and pools <098> of water < 04325>: and I will
sweep <02894> it with the besom <04292> of destruction <08045>,
saith <05002> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.



24. The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath sworn < 07650>,
saying <0559>, Surely as I have thought <01819>, so shall it
come <01961> to pass; and as I have purposed <03289>, [so
<03651>] shall it stand <06965>:



25 That I will break <07665> the Assyrian <0804> in my land
<0776>, and upon my mountains <02022> tread < 0947> him under
foot <0947>: then shall his yoke <05923> depart < 05493> from off
<05921> them, and his burden <05448> depart < 05493> from off
<05921> their shoulders <07926>.



26 This <02063> [is] the purpose <06098> that is purposed
<03289> upon the whole <03605> earth <0776>: and this <02063>
[is] the hand <03027> that is stretched <05186> out upon all
<03605> the nations <01471>.



27 For the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath purposed <03289>,
and who <04310> shall disannul <06565> [it]? and his hand
<03027> [is] stretched <05186> out, and who < 04310> shall turn
<07725> it back <07725>?



28 In the year <08141> that king <04428> Ahaz < 0271> died
<04194> was this <02088> burden <04853>.



29 Rejoice <08055> not thou, whole <03605> Palestina <06429>,
because <03588> the rod <07626> of him that smote < 05221> thee
is broken <07665>: for out of the serpent's <05175> root <08328>
shall come <03318> forth <03318> a cockatrice < 06848>, and his
fruit <06529> [shall be] a fiery <08314> flying < 05774> serpent
<08314>.



30 And the firstborn <01060> of the poor <01800> shall feed
<07462>, and the needy <034> shall lie <07257> down <07257> in
safety <0983>: and I will kill <04191> thy root < 08328> with
famine <07458>, and he shall slay <02026> thy remnant <07611>.



31 Howl <03213>, O gate <08179>; cry <02199>, O city <05892>;
thou, whole <03605> Palestina <06429>, [art] dissolved <04127>:
for there shall come <0935> from the north <06828> a smoke
<06227>, and none <0369> [shall be] alone <0909> in his
appointed <04151> times <04151>.



32 What <04100> shall [one] then answer <06030> the messengers
<04397> of the nation <01471>? That the LORD < 03068> hath
founded <03245> Zion <06726>, and the poor < 06041> of his people
<05971> shall trust <02620> in it.



Isaiah 15



1. The burden <04853> of Moab <04124>. Because < 03588> in the
night <03915> Ar <06144> of Moab <04124> is laid waste <07703>,
[and] brought <01820> to silence <01820>; because < 03588> in the
night <03915> Kir <07024> of Moab <04124> is laid waste <07703>,
[and] brought <01820> to silence;



2 He is gone <05927> up to Bajith <01006>, and to Dibon <01769>,
the high <01116> places, to weep <01065>: Moab < 04124> shall
howl <03213> over <05921> Nebo <05015>, and over <05921> Medeba
<04311>: on all <03605> their heads <07218> [shall be] baldness
<07144>, [and] every <03605> beard <02206> cut <01438> off.



3 In their streets <02351> they shall gird <02296> themselves
with sackcloth <08242>: on <05921> the tops < 01406> of their
houses, and in their streets <07339>, every <03605> one shall
howl <03213>, weeping <01065> abundantly <03381> .



4 And Heshbon <02809> shall cry <02199>, and Elealeh <0500>:
their voice <06963> shall be heard <08085> [even] unto Jahaz
<03096>: therefore the armed <02502> soldiers < 02502> of Moab
<04124> shall cry <07321> out; his life <05315> shall be
grievous <03415> unto him.



5 My heart <03820> shall cry <02199> out for Moab <04124>; his
fugitives <01280> [shall flee] unto Zoar <06820>, an heifer
<05697> of three <07992> years old <07992>: for by the mounting
<04608> up of Luhith <03872> with weeping < 01065> shall they go
<05927> it up; for in the way <01870> of Horonaim < 02773> they
shall raise <05782> up a cry <02201> of destruction <07667>.



6. For the waters <04325> of Nimrim <05249> shall be desolate
<04923>: for the hay <02682> is withered <03001> away, the grass
<01877> faileth <03615>, there is no <03808> green <03418> thing.



7 Therefore the abundance <03502> they have gotten < 06213>, and
that which they have laid <06486> up, shall they carry < 05375>
away to the brook <05158> of the willows <06155>.



8 For the cry <02201> is gone <05362> round < 05362> about the
borders <01366> of Moab <04124>; the howling < 03213> thereof
unto Eglaim <097>, and the howling <03213> thereof unto Beerelim
<0879>.



9 For the waters <04325> of Dimon <01775> shall be full <04390>
of blood <01818>: for I will bring <07896> more < 03254> upon
Dimon <01775>, lions <0738> upon him that escapeth <06413> of
Moab <04124>, and upon the remnant <07611> of the land <0127>.



Isaiah 16



1. Send <07971> ye the lamb <03733> to the ruler < 04910> of the
land <0776> from Sela <05554> to the wilderness < 04057>, unto
the mount <02022> of the daughter <01323> of Zion < 06726>.



2 For it shall be, [that], as a wandering <05074> bird < 05775>
cast <07971> out of the nest <07064>, [so] the daughters <01121>
of Moab <04124> shall be at the fords <04569> of Arnon <0769>.



3 Take <0935> counsel <06098>, execute <06213> judgment <06415>;
make <07896> thy shadow <06738> as the night < 03915> in the
midst <08432> of the noonday <06672>; hide < 05641> the outcasts
<05080>; bewray <01540> not him that wandereth < 05074>.



4 Let mine outcasts <05080> dwell <01481> with thee, Moab
<04124>; be thou a covert <05643> to them from the face <06440>
of the spoiler <07703>: for the extortioner <04160> is at an end
<0657>, the spoiler <07701> ceaseth <03615>, the oppressors
<07429> are consumed <08552> out of the land < 0776>.



5 And in mercy <02617> shall the throne <03678> be established
<03559>: and he shall sit <03427> upon it in truth <0571> in the
tabernacle <0168> of David <01732>, judging < 08199>, and seeking
<01875> judgment <04941>, and hasting <04106> righteousness
<06664>.



6. We have heard <08085> of the pride <01347> of Moab <04124>;
[he is] very <03966> proud <01341>: [even] of his haughtiness
<01346>, and his pride <01347>, and his wrath < 05678>: [but] his
lies <0907> [shall] not [be] so <03651>.



7 Therefore <03651> shall Moab <04124> howl < 03213> for Moab
<04124>, every <03605> one shall howl <03213>: for the
foundations <0808> of Kirhareseth <07025> shall ye mourn <01897>;
surely <0389> [they are] stricken <05218>.



8 For the fields <07709> of Heshbon <02809> languish <0535>,
[and] the vine <01612> of Sibmah <07643>: the lords <01167> of
the heathen <01471> have broken <01986> down the principal
<08291> plants <08291> thereof, they are come < 05060> [even]
unto Jazer <03270>, they wandered <08582> [through] the
wilderness <04057>: her branches <07976> are stretched <05203>
out, they are gone <05674> over <05674> the sea < 03220>.



9 Therefore I will bewail <01058> with the weeping < 01065> of
Jazer <03270> the vine <01612> of Sibmah <07643> : I will water
<07301> thee with my tears <01832>, O Heshbon < 02809>, and
Elealeh <0500>: for the shouting <01959> for thy summer <07019>
fruits and for thy harvest <07105> is fallen <05307>.



10 And gladness <08057> is taken <0622> away, and joy <01524>
out of the plentiful <03759> field; and in the vineyards <03754>
there shall be no <03808> singing <07442>, neither <03808> shall
there be shouting <0731>: the treaders <01869> shall tread
<01869> out no <03808> wine <03196> in [their] presses <03342>;
I have made [their vintage] shouting <01959> to cease < 07673>.



11 Wherefore my bowels <04578> shall sound <01993> like an harp
<03658> for Moab <04124>, and mine inward < 07130> parts for
Kirharesh <07025>.



12 And it shall come <01961> to pass, when <03588> it is seen
<07200> that Moab <04124> is weary <03811> on <05921> the high
<01116> place, that he shall come <0935> to his sanctuary
<04720> to pray <06419>; but he shall not prevail < 03201>.



13 This <02008> [is] the word <01697> that the LORD <03068>
hath spoken <01696> concerning <0413> Moab < 04124> since that
time <0227>.



14 But now <06258> the LORD <03068> hath spoken < 01696>, saying
<0559>, Within three <07969> years <08141>, as the years <08141>
of an hireling <07916>, and the glory <03519> of Moab <04124>
shall be contemned <07034>, with all <03605> that great <07227>
multitude <01995>; and the remnant <07605> [shall be] very
<04213> small <04213> [and] feeble <03808>.



Isaiah 17



1. The burden <04853> of Damascus <01834>. Behold <02009>,
Damascus <01834> is taken <05493> away <05493> from [being] a
city <05892>, and it shall be a ruinous <04654> heap <04596>.



2 The cities <05892> of Aroer <06177> [are] forsaken <05800>:
they shall be for flocks <05739>, which shall lie < 07257> down
<07257>, and none <0369> shall make [them] afraid < 02729>.



3 The fortress <04013> also shall cease <07673> from Ephraim
<0669>, and the kingdom <04467> from Damascus < 01834>, and the
remnant <07605> of Syria <0758>: they shall be as the glory
<03519> of the children <01121> of Israel < 03478>, saith <05002>
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.



4 And in that day <03117> it shall come <01961> to pass, [that]
the glory <03519> of Jacob <03290> shall be made thin <01809>,
and the fatness <04924> of his flesh <01320> shall wax lean
<07329>.



5 And it shall be as when the harvestman <07105> gathereth
<0622> the corn <07054>, and reapeth <07114> the ears <07641>
with his arm <02220>; and it shall be as he that gathereth
<03950> ears <07641> in the valley <06010> of Rephaim <07497>.



6. Yet gleaning <05955> grapes shall be left <07604> in it, as
the shaking <05363> of an olive <02132> tree, two < 08147> [or]
three <07969> berries <01620> in the top <07218> of the
uppermost bough <0534>, four <0702> [or] five < 02568> in the
outmost fruitful <06509> branches <05585> thereof, saith <05002>
the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.



7 At that day <03117> shall a man <0120> look < 08159> to his
Maker <06213>, and his eyes <05869> shall have respect <07200>
to the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>.



8 And he shall not look <08159> to the altars <04196> , the work
<04639> of his hands <03027>, neither <03808> shall respect
<07200> [that] which <0834> his fingers <0676> have made <06213>,
either the groves <0842>, or the images <02553>.



9. In that day <03117> shall his strong <04581> cities <05892>
be as a forsaken <05800> bough <02793>, and an uppermost branch
<0534>, which <0834> they left <05800> because <06440> of the
children <01121> of Israel <03478>: and there shall be
desolation <08077>.



10 Because <03588> thou hast forgotten <07911> the God <0430>
of thy salvation <03468>, and hast not been mindful < 02142> of
the rock <06697> of thy strength <04581>, therefore shalt thou
plant <05193> pleasant <02532> plants <05194>, and shalt set
<02232> it with strange <02114> slips <02156>:



11 In the day <03117> shalt thou make thy plant < 05194> to grow
<07735>, and in the morning <01242> shalt thou make thy seed
<02233> to flourish <06524>: [but] the harvest < 07105> [shall
be] a heap <05067> in the day <03117> of grief < 02470> and of
desperate <0605> sorrow <03511>.



12. Woe <01945> to the multitude <01995> of many < 07227> people
<05971>, [which] make a noise <01993> like the noise <01993> of
the seas <03220>; and to the rushing <07588> of nations <03816>,
[that] make a rushing <07582> like the rushing <07582> of mighty
<03524> waters <04325>!



13 The nations <03816> shall rush <07582> like the rushing
<07588> of many <07227> waters <04325>: but [God] shall rebuke
<01605> them, and they shall flee <05127> far < 04801> off, and
shall be chased <07291> as the chaff <04671> of the mountains
<02022> before <06440> the wind <07307>, and like a rolling
<01534> thing before <06440> the whirlwind.



14 And behold <02009> at eveningtide trouble <01091>; [and]
before <02962> the morning <01242> he [is] not. This <02088>
[is] the portion <02506> of them that spoil <08154> us, and the
lot <01486> of them that rob <0962> us.



Isaiah 18



1. Woe <01945> to the land <0776> shadowing < 06767> with wings
<03671>, which <0834> [is] beyond <05676> the rivers <05104> of
Ethiopia <03568>:



2 That sendeth <07971> ambassadors <06735> by the sea <03220>,
even in vessels <03627> of bulrushes <01573> upon the waters
<04325>, [saying], Go <03212>, ye swift <07031> messengers
<04397>, to a nation <01471> scattered <04900> and peeled
<04178>, to a people <05971> terrible <03372> from their
beginning <01931> hitherto <01973>; a nation < 01471> meted
<06978> out and trodden <04001> down, whose < 0834> land <0776>
the rivers <05104> have spoiled <0958>!



3 All <03605> ye inhabitants <03427> of the world <08398>, and
dwellers <07931> on the earth <0776>, see < 07200> ye, when he
lifteth <05375> up an ensign <05251> on the mountains <02022>;
and when he bloweth <08628> a trumpet <07782>, hear <08085> ye.



4 For so <03541> the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, I will
take my rest <08252>, and I will consider <05027> in my dwelling
<04349> place like a clear <06703> heat <02527> upon herbs
<0216>, [and] like a cloud <05645> of dew < 02919> in the heat
<02527> of harvest <07105>.



5 For afore <06440> the harvest <07105>, when < 03588> the bud
<06525> is perfect <08552>, and the sour <01155> grape <01155>
is ripening <01580> in the flower <05327>, he shall both cut
<03772> off the sprigs <02150> with pruning hooks, and take
<05493> away <05493> [and] cut <08456> down the branches <05189>.



6 They shall be left <05800> together <03162> unto the fowls
<05861> of the mountains <02022>, and to the beasts <0929> of
the earth <0776>: and the fowls <05861> shall summer <06972>
upon them, and all <03605> the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>
shall winter <02778> upon them.



7 In that time <06256> shall the present <07862> be brought
<02986> unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> of a people
<05971> scattered <04900> and peeled <04178>, and from a people
<05971> terrible <03372> from their beginning < 01931> hitherto
<01973>; a nation <01471> meted <06978> out and trodden <04001>
under foot <04001>, whose <0834> land <0776> the rivers <05104>
have spoiled <0958>, to the place <04725> of the name <08034> of
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the mount < 02022> Zion
<06726>.



Isaiah 19



1. The burden <04853> of Egypt <04714>. Behold < 02009>, the
LORD <03068> rideth <07392> upon a swift <07031> cloud <05645>,
and shall come <0935> into Egypt <04714>: and the idols <0457>
of Egypt <04714> shall be moved <05128> at his presence <06440>,
and the heart <03824> of Egypt <04714> shall melt < 04549> in the
midst <07130> of it.



2 And I will set <05526> the Egyptians <04714> against the
Egyptians <04714>: and they shall fight <03898> every <0376> one
<0376> against his brother <0251>, and every < 0376> one <0376>
against his neighbour <07453>; city <05892> against city <05892>,
[and] kingdom <04467> against kingdom <04467>.



3 And the spirit <07307> of Egypt <04714> shall fail <01238> in
the midst <07130> thereof; and I will destroy <01104> the
counsel <06098> thereof: and they shall seek <01875> to the
idols <0457>, and to the charmers <0328>, and to them that have
familiar spirits <0178>, and to the wizards <03049>.



4 And the Egyptians <04714> will I give <05534> over <05534>
into the hand <03027> of a cruel <07186> lord < 0113>; and a
fierce <05794> king <04428> shall rule <04910> over them, saith
<05002> the Lord <0113>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.



5 And the waters <04325> shall fail <05405> from the sea
<03220>, and the river <05104> shall be wasted < 02717> and dried
<03001> up.



6 And they shall turn <02186> the rivers <05104> far away;
[and] the brooks <02975> of defence <04692> shall be emptied
<01809> and dried <02717> up: the reeds <07070> and flags
<05488> shall wither <07060>.



7 The paper <06169> reeds by the brooks <02975>, by the mouth
<06310> of the brooks <02975>, and every <03605> thing sown
<04218> by the brooks <02975>, shall wither < 03001>, be driven
<05086> away, and be no <0369> [more].



8 The fishers <01771> also shall mourn <0578>, and all <03605>
they that cast <07993> angle <02443> into the brooks <02975>
shall lament <056>, and they that spread <06566> nets <04364>
upon the waters <04325> shall languish <0535>.



9 Moreover they that work <05647> in fine <08305> flax <06593>,
and they that weave <0707> networks <02355>, shall be confounded
<0954>.



10 And they shall be broken <01792> in the purposes < 08356>
thereof, all <03605> that make <06213> sluices < 07938> [and]
ponds <099> for fish <05315>.



11 Surely <0389> the princes <08269> of Zoan < 06814> [are]
fools <0191>, the counsel <06098> of the wise < 02450>
counsellors <03289> of Pharaoh <06547> is become < 01197> brutish
<01197>: how <0349> say <0559> ye unto Pharaoh <06547>, I [am]
the son <01121> of the wise <02450>, the son < 01121> of ancient
<06924> kings <04428>?



12 Where <0335> [are] they? where <0645> [are] thy wise <02450>
[men]? and let them tell <05046> thee now <04994>, and let them
know <03045> what <04100> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath
purposed <03289> upon Egypt <04714>.



13 The princes <08269> of Zoan <06814> are become <02973> fools
<02973>, the princes <08269> of Noph <05297> are deceived
<05377>; they have also seduced <08582> Egypt < 04714>, [even
they that are] the stay <06438> of the tribes <07626> thereof.



14 The LORD <03068> hath mingled <04537> a perverse <05773>
spirit <07307> in the midst <07130> thereof: and they have
caused Egypt <04714> to err <08582> in every < 03605> work
<04639> thereof, as a drunken <07910> [man] staggereth <08582>
in his vomit <06892>.



15 Neither <03808> shall there be [any] work <04639> for Egypt
<04714>, which the head <07218> or tail <02180>, branch <03712>
or rush <0100>, may do <06213>.



16 In that day <03117> shall Egypt <04714> be like unto women
<0802>: and it shall be afraid <02729> and fear < 06342> because
<06440> of the shaking <08573> of the hand < 03027> of the LORD
<03068> of hosts <06635>, which <0834> he shaketh <05130> over
<05921> it.



17 And the land <0127> of Judah <03063> shall be a terror
<02283> unto Egypt <04714>, every <03605> one that maketh
mention <02142> thereof shall be afraid <06342> in himself,
because <06440> of the counsel <06098> of the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635>, which <0834> he hath determined < 03289> against
<05921> it.



18. In that day <03117> shall five <02568> cities <05892> in
the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> speak <01696> the language
<08193> of Canaan <03667>, and swear <07650> to the LORD <03068>
of hosts <06635>; one <0259> shall be called < 0559>, The city
<05892> of destruction <02041>.



19 In that day <03117> shall there be an altar < 04196> to the
LORD <03068> in the midst <08432> of the land < 0776> of Egypt
<04714>, and a pillar <04676> at <0681> the border <01366>
thereof to the LORD <03068>.



20 And it shall be for a sign <0226> and for a witness < 05707>
unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> in the land <0776> of
Egypt <04714>: for they shall cry <06817> unto the LORD <03068>
because <06440> of the oppressors <03905>, and he shall send
<07971> them a saviour <03467>, and a great < 07227> one, and he
shall deliver <05337> them.



21 And the LORD <03068> shall be known <03045> to Egypt <04714>,
and the Egyptians <04714> shall know <03045> the LORD <03068>
in that day <03117>, and shall do <05647> sacrifice <02077> and
oblation <04503>; yea, they shall vow <05087> a vow <05088> unto
the LORD <03068>, and perform <07999> [it].



22 And the LORD <03068> shall smite <05062> Egypt <04714>: he
shall smite <05062> and heal <07495> [it]: and they shall return
<07725> [even] to the LORD <03068>, and he shall be intreated
<06279> of them, and shall heal <07495> them.



23 In that day <03117> shall there be a highway < 04546> out of
Egypt <04714> to Assyria <0804>, and the Assyrian < 0804> shall
come <0935> into Egypt <04714>, and the Egyptian < 04714> into
Assyria <0804>, and the Egyptians <04714> shall serve <05647>
with the Assyrians <0804>.



24 In that day <03117> shall Israel <03478> be the third
<07992> with Egypt <04714> and with Assyria < 0804>, [even] a
blessing <01293> in the midst <07130> of the land < 0776>:



25 Whom <0834> the LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635> shall bless
<01288>, saying <0559>, Blessed <01288> [be] Egypt <04714> my
people <05971>, and Assyria <0804> the work < 04639> of my hands
<03027>, and Israel <03478> mine inheritance < 05159>.



Isaiah 20



1. In the year <08141> that Tartan <08661> came < 0935> unto
Ashdod <0795>, (when Sargon <05623> the king < 04428> of Assyria
<0804> sent <07971> him,) and fought <03898> against Ashdod
<0795>, and took <03920> it;



2 At the same <01931> time <06256> spake < 01696> the LORD
<03068> by Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>, saying
<0559>, Go <03212> and loose <06605> the sackcloth <08242> from
off <05921> thy loins <04975>, and put <02502> off thy shoe
<05275> from thy foot <07272>. And he did < 06213> so <03651>,
walking <01980> naked <06174> and barefoot < 03182>.



3 And the LORD <03068> said <0559>, Like as my servant <05650>
Isaiah <03470> hath walked <01980> naked <06174> and barefoot
<03182> three <07969> years <08141> [for] a sign <0226> and
wonder <04159> upon Egypt <04714> and upon Ethiopia <03568>;



4 So <03651> shall the king <04428> of Assyria < 0804> lead
<05090> away the Egyptians <04714> prisoners < 07628>, and the
Ethiopians <03569> captives <01546>, young < 05288> and old
<02205>, naked <06174> and barefoot <03182>, even with [their]
buttocks <08357> uncovered <02834>, to the shame < 06172> of
Egypt <04714>.



5 And they shall be afraid <02865> and ashamed <0954> of
Ethiopia <03568> their expectation <04007>, and of Egypt <04714>
their glory <08597>.



6 And the inhabitant <03427> of this <02088> isle <0339> shall
say <0559> in that day <03117>, Behold <02009>, such <03541>
[is] our expectation <04007>, whither we flee <05127> for help
<05833> to be delivered <05337> from the king < 04428> of Assyria
<0804>: and how <0349> shall we escape <04422>?



Isaiah 21



1. The burden <04853> of the desert <04057> of the sea <03220>.
As whirlwinds <05492> in the south <05045> pass < 02498> through;
[so] it cometh <0935> from the desert <04057>, from a terrible
<03372> land <0776>.



2 A grievous <07186> vision <02380> is declared < 05046> unto me;
the treacherous <0898> dealer dealeth treacherously < 0898>, and
the spoiler <07703> spoileth <07703>. Go <05927> up, O Elam
<05867>: besiege <06696>, O Media <04074>; all <03605> the
sighing <0585> thereof have I made to cease <07673>.



3 Therefore are my loins <04975> filled <04390> with pain
<02479>: pangs <06735> have taken <0270> hold <0270> upon me, as
the pangs <06735> of a woman that travaileth <03205>: I was
bowed <05791> down at the hearing <08085> [of it]; I was
dismayed <0926> at the seeing <07200> [of it].



4 My heart <03824> panted <08582>, fearfulness < 06427>
affrighted <01204> me: the night <05399> of my pleasure <02837>
hath he turned <07760> into fear <02731> unto me.



5 Prepare <06186> the table <07979>, watch < 06822> in the
watchtower <06844>, eat <0398>, drink <08354>: arise <06965>, ye
princes <08269>, [and] anoint <04886> the shield < 04043>.



6 For thus <03541> hath the Lord <0136> said < 0559> unto me, Go
<03212>, set <05975> a watchman <06822>, let him declare <05046>
what <0834> he seeth <07200>.



7 And he saw <07200> a chariot <07393> [with] a couple <06776>
of horsemen <06571>, a chariot <07393> of asses < 02543>, [and] a
chariot <07393> of camels <01581>; and he hearkened <07181>
diligently <07182> with much <07227> heed < 07182>:



8 And he cried <07121>, A lion <0738>: My lord < 0136>, I stand
<05975> continually <08548> upon the watchtower < 04707> in the
daytime <03119>, and I am set <05324> in my ward < 04931> whole
<03605> nights <03915>:



9 And, behold <02009>, here <02088> cometh < 0935> a chariot
<07393> of men <0376>, [with] a couple <06776> of horsemen
<06571>. And he answered <06030> and said <0559> , Babylon <0894>
is fallen <05307>, is fallen <05307>; and all < 03605> the graven
<06456> images of her gods <0430> he hath broken < 07665> unto
the ground <0776>.



10 O my threshing <04098>, and the corn <01121> of my floor
<01637>: that which <0834> I have heard <08085> of the LORD
<03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, have
I declared <05046> unto you.



11. The burden <04853> of Dumah <01746>. He calleth <07121> to
me out of Seir <08165>, Watchman <08104>, what < 04100> of the
night <03915>? Watchman <08104>, what <04100> of the night
<03915>?



12 The watchman <08104> said <0559>, The morning < 01242> cometh
<0857>, and also <01571> the night <03915>: if <0518> ye will
enquire <01158>, enquire <01158> ye: return < 07725>, come <0857>.



13. The burden <04853> upon Arabia <06152>. In the forest
<03293> in Arabia <06152> shall ye lodge <03885> , O ye
travelling <0736> companies <0736> of Dedanim < 01720>.



14 The inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776> of Tema <08485>
brought <0857> water <04325> to him that was thirsty <06771>,
they prevented <06923> with their bread <03899> him that fled
<05074>.



15 For they fled <05074> from the swords <02719>, from the
drawn <05203> sword <02719>, and from the bent < 01869> bow
<07198>, and from the grievousness <03514> of war < 04421>.



16 For thus <03541> hath the Lord <0136> said < 0559> unto me,
Within <05750> a year <08141>, according to the years <08141> of
an hireling <07916>, and all <03605> the glory < 03519> of Kedar
<06938> shall fail <03615>:



17 And the residue <07605> of the number <04557> of archers
<07198>, the mighty <01368> men of the children < 01121> of Kedar
<06938>, shall be diminished <04591>: for the LORD <03068> God
<0430> of Israel <03478> hath spoken <01696> [it].



Isaiah 22



1. The burden <04853> of the valley <01516> of vision <02384>.
What <04100> aileth thee now <0645>, that thou art wholly
<03605> gone <05927> up to the housetops <01406> ?



2 Thou that art full <04392> of stirs <08663>, a tumultuous
<01993> city <05892>, a joyous <05947> city < 07151>: thy slain
<02491> [men are] not slain <02491> with the sword <02719>, nor
<03808> dead <04191> in battle <04421>.



3 All <03605> thy rulers <07101> are fled < 05074> together
<03162>, they are bound <0631> by the archers < 07198>: all
<03605> that are found <04672> in thee are bound < 0631> together
<03162>, [which] have fled <01272> from far < 07350>.



4 Therefore said <0559> I, Look <08159> away from me; I will
weep <01065> bitterly <04843>, labour <0213> not to comfort
<05162> me, because <05921> of the spoiling < 07701> of the
daughter <01323> of my people <05971>.



5 For [it is] a day <03117> of trouble <04103>, and of treading
<04001> down, and of perplexity <03998> by the Lord <0136> GOD
<03069> of hosts <06635> in the valley <01516> of vision <02384>,
breaking <06979> down the walls <07023>, and of crying <07771>
to the mountains <02022>.



6 And Elam <05867> bare <05375> the quiver < 0827> with chariots
<07393> of men <0120> [and] horsemen <06571>, and Kir <07024>
uncovered <06168> the shield <04043>.



7 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] thy choicest
<04055> valleys <06010> shall be full <04390> of chariots
<07393>, and the horsemen <06571> shall set < 07896> themselves
in array <07896> at the gate <08179>.



8. And he discovered <01540> the covering <04539> of Judah
<03063>, and thou didst look <05027> in that day < 03117> to the
armour <05402> of the house <01004> of the forest < 03293>.



9 Ye have seen <07200> also the breaches <01233> of the city
<05892> of David <01732>, that they are many < 07231>: and ye
gathered <06908> together the waters <04325> of the lower
<08481> pool <01295>.



10 And ye have numbered <05608> the houses <01004> of Jerusalem
<03389>, and the houses <01004> have ye broken < 05422> down
<05422> to fortify <01219> the wall <02346>.



11 Ye made <06213> also a ditch <04724> between < 0996> the two
walls <02346> for the water <04325> of the old < 03465> pool
<01295>: but ye have not looked <05027> unto the maker <06213>
thereof, neither <03808> had respect <07200> unto him that
fashioned <03335> it long <07350> ago <07350>.



12 And in that day <03117> did the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of
hosts <06635> call <07121> to weeping <01065>, and to mourning
<04553>, and to baldness <07144>, and to girding < 02296> with
sackcloth <08242>:



13 And behold <02009> joy <08342> and gladness < 08057>, slaying
<02026> oxen <01241>, and killing <07819> sheep <06629>, eating
<0398> flesh <01320>, and drinking <08354> wine <03196>: let us
eat <0398> and drink <08354>; for to morrow < 04279> we shall die
<04191>.



14 And it was revealed <01540> in mine ears <0241> by the LORD
<03068> of hosts <06635>, Surely <0518> this <02088> iniquity
<05771> shall not be purged <03722> from you till < 05704> ye die
<04191>, saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069> of hosts
<06635>.



15. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of
hosts <06635>, Go <03212>, get <0935> thee unto this <02088>
treasurer <05532>, [even] unto Shebna <07644>, which <0834> [is]
over <05921> the house <01004>, [and say <0559> ],



16 What <04100> hast thou here <06311>? and whom < 04310> hast
thou here <06311>, that thou hast hewed <02672> thee out a
sepulchre <06913> here <06311>, [as] he that heweth <02672> him
out a sepulchre <06913> on high <04791>, [and] that graveth an
habitation <04908> for himself in a rock <05553>?



17 Behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> will carry < 02904> thee
away with a mighty <01397> captivity <02925>, and will surely
cover <05844> thee.



18 He will surely violently turn <06801> and toss < 06802> thee
[like] a ball <01754> into <0413> a large country < 0776>: there
<08033> shalt thou die <04191>, and there < 08033> the chariots
<04818> of thy glory <03519> [shall be] the shame < 07036> of thy
lord's <0113> house <01004>.



19 And I will drive <01920> thee from thy station < 04673>, and
from thy state <04612> shall he pull <02040> thee down.



20 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>, that
I will call <07121> my servant <05650> Eliakim < 0471> the son
<01121> of Hilkiah <02518>:



21 And I will clothe <03847> him with thy robe < 03301>, and
strengthen <02388> him with thy girdle <073>, and I will commit
<05414> thy government <04475> into his hand < 03027>: and he
shall be a father <01> to the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem
<03389>, and to the house <01004> of Judah < 03063>.



22 And the key <04668> of the house <01004> of David <01732>
will I lay <05414> upon his shoulder <07926>; so he shall open
<06605>, and none <0369> shall shut <05462>; and he shall shut
<05462>, and none <0369> shall open <06605>.



23 And I will fasten <08628> him [as] a nail <03489> in a sure
<0539> place <04725>; and he shall be for a glorious <03519>
throne <03678> to his father's <01> house < 01004>.



24 And they shall hang <08518> upon him all <03605> the glory
<03519> of his father's <01> house <01004>, the offspring
<06631> and the issue <06849>, all <03605> vessels <03627> of
small <06996> quantity, from the vessels <03627> of cups <0101>,
even to all <03605> the vessels <03627> of flagons <05035>.



25 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> the LORD < 03068> of hosts
<06635>, shall the nail <03489> that is fastened < 08628> in the
sure <0539> place <04725> be removed <04185>, and be cut <01438>
down <01438>, and fall <05307>; and the burden < 04853> that
[was] upon it shall be cut <03772> off: for the LORD < 03068>
hath spoken <01696> [it].



Isaiah 23



1. The burden <04853> of Tyre <06865>. Howl < 03213>, ye ships
<0591> of Tarshish <08659>; for it is laid waste < 07703>, so
that there is no house <01004>, no entering <0935> in: from the
land <0776> of Chittim <03794> it is revealed < 01540> to them.



2 Be still <01826>, ye inhabitants <03427> of the isle <0339>;
thou whom the merchants <05503> of Zidon <06721>, that pass
<05674> over <05674> the sea <03220>, have replenished <04390>.



3 And by great <07227> waters <04325> the seed < 02233> of Sihor
<07883>, the harvest <07105> of the river < 02975>, [is] her
revenue <08393>; and she is a mart <05505> of nations <01471>.



4 Be thou ashamed <0954>, O Zidon <06721>: for the sea <03220>
hath spoken <0559>, [even] the strength <04581> of the sea
<03220>, saying <0559>, I travail <02342> not, nor <03808> bring
<03205> forth <03205> children, neither <03808> do I nourish
<01431> up young <0970> men, [nor] bring <07311> up virgins
<01330>.



5 As at the report <08088> concerning Egypt <04714>, [so] shall
they be sorely pained <02342> at the report <08088> of Tyre
<06865>.



6 Pass <05674> ye over <05674> to Tarshish < 08659>; howl
<03213>, ye inhabitants <03427> of the isle < 0339>.



7 [Is] this <02063> your joyous <05947> [city], whose antiquity
<06927> [is] of ancient <06924> days <03117>? her own feet
<07272> shall carry <02986> her afar <07350> off to sojourn
<01481>.



8 Who <04310> hath taken this <02063> counsel < 03289> against
<05921> Tyre <06865>, the crowning <05849> [city], whose <0834>
merchants <05503> [are] princes <08269>, whose traffickers
<03669> [are] the honourable <01935> of the earth < 0776>?



9 The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath purposed <03289> it,
to stain <02490> the pride <01347> of all < 03605> glory <06643>,
[and] to bring <07034> into contempt <07043> all < 03605> the
honourable <03513> of the earth <0776>.



10 Pass <05674> through thy land <0776> as a river <02975>, O
daughter <01323> of Tarshish <08659>: [there is] no <0369> more
<05750> strength <04206>.



11 He stretched <05186> out his hand <03027> over <05921> the
sea <03220>, he shook <07264> the kingdoms < 04467>: the LORD
<03068> hath given a commandment <06680> against < 0413> the
merchant <03667> [city], to destroy <08045> the strong <04581>
holds <04581> thereof.



12 And he said <0559>, Thou shalt no <03808> more <05750>
rejoice <05937>, O thou oppressed <06231> virgin < 01330>,
daughter <01323> of Zidon <06721>: arise <06965> , pass <05674>
over <05674> to Chittim <03794>; there <08033> also <01571>
shalt thou have no <03808> rest <05117>.



13 Behold <02005> the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778>;
this <02088> people <05971> was not, [till] the Assyrian <0804>
founded <03245> it for them that dwell in the wilderness <06728>:
they set <06965> up the towers <0971> thereof, they raised
<06209> up the palaces <0759> thereof; [and] he brought <07760>
it to ruin <04654>.



14 Howl <03213>, ye ships <0591> of Tarshish < 08659>: for your
strength <04581> is laid waste <07703>.



15. And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>, that
Tyre <06865> shall be forgotten <07911> seventy < 07657> years
<08141>, according to the days <03117> of one < 0259> king
<04428>: after the end <07093> of seventy < 07657> years <08141>
shall Tyre <06865> sing <07892> as an harlot < 02181>.



16 Take <03947> an harp <03658>, go <05437> about <05437> the
city <05892>, thou harlot <02181> that hast been forgotten
<07911>; make sweet <03190> melody <05059>, sing many <07235>
songs <07892>, that thou mayest be remembered <02142>.



17 And it shall come <01961> to pass after the end < 07093> of
seventy <07657> years <08141>, that the LORD < 03068> will visit
<06485> Tyre <06865>, and she shall turn <07725> to her hire
<0868>, and shall commit <02181> fornication < 02181> with all
<03605> the kingdoms <04467> of the world <0776> upon the face
<06440> of the earth <0127>.



18 And her merchandise <05504> and her hire <0868> shall be
holiness <06944> to the LORD <03068>: it shall not be treasured
<0686> nor <03808> laid <02630> up; for her merchandise <05504>
shall be for them that dwell <03427> before <06440> the LORD
<03068>, to eat <0398> sufficiently <07654>, and for durable
<06266> clothing <04374>.



Isaiah 24



1. Behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> maketh the earth <0776>
empty <01238>, and maketh it waste <01110>, and turneth <05753>
it upside down, and scattereth <06327> abroad <06327> the
inhabitants <03427> thereof.



2 And it shall be, as with the people <05971>, so with the
priest <03548>; as with the servant <05650>, so with his master
<0113>; as with the maid <08198>, so with her mistress <01404>;
as with the buyer <07069>, so with the seller <04376>; as with
the lender <03867>, so with the borrower <03867>; as with the
taker of usury <05383>, so with the giver of usury < 05378> to
him.



3 The land <0776> shall be utterly emptied <01238>, and utterly
spoiled <0962>: for the LORD <03068> hath spoken < 01696> this
<02088> word <01697>.



4 The earth <0776> mourneth <056> [and] fadeth < 05034> away,
the world <08398> languisheth <0535> [and] fadeth < 05034> away,
the haughty <04791> people <05971> of the earth < 0776> do
languish <0535>.



5 The earth <0776> also is defiled <02610> under < 08478> the
inhabitants <03427> thereof; because <03588> they have
transgressed <05674> the laws <08451>, changed < 02498> the
ordinance <02706>, broken <06565> the everlasting < 05769>
covenant <01285>.



6 Therefore hath the curse <0423> devoured <0398> the earth
<0776>, and they that dwell <03427> therein are desolate <0816>:
therefore the inhabitants <03427> of the earth <0776> are burned
<02787>, and few <04213> men <0582> left < 07604>.



7 The new <08492> wine <08492> mourneth <056>, the vine <01612>
languisheth <0535>, all <03605> the merryhearted do sigh <0584>.



8 The mirth <04885> of tabrets <08596> ceaseth < 07673>, the
noise <07588> of them that rejoice <05947> endeth < 02308>, the
joy <04885> of the harp <03658> ceaseth <07673>.



9 They shall not drink <08354> wine <03196> with a song <07892>;
strong drink <07941> shall be bitter <04843> to them that drink
<08354> it.



10 The city <07151> of confusion <08414> is broken <07665> down:
every <03605> house <01004> is shut <05462> up, that no man
<0935> may come <0935> in.



11 [There is] a crying <06682> for wine <03196> in the streets
<02351>; all <03605> joy <08057> is darkened <06150>, the mirth
<04885> of the land <0776> is gone <01540>.



12 In the city <05892> is left <07604> desolation <08047>, and
the gate <08179> is smitten <03807> with destruction <07591>.



13. When <03588> thus <03541> it shall be in the midst <07130>
of the land <0776> among <08432> the people < 05971>, [there
shall be] as the shaking <05363> of an olive <02132> tree, [and]
as the gleaning <05955> grapes when <0518> the vintage <01210>
is done <03615>.



14 They shall lift <05375> up their voice <06963>, they shall
sing <07442> for the majesty <01347> of the LORD < 03068>, they
shall cry <06670> aloud <06670> from the sea < 03220>.



15 Wherefore glorify <03513> ye the LORD <03068> in the fires
<0217>, [even] the name <08034> of the LORD < 03068> God <0430>
of Israel <03478> in the isles <0339> of the sea < 03220>.



16. From the uttermost <03671> part of the earth < 0776> have we
heard <08085> songs <02158>, [even] glory < 06643> to the
righteous <06662>. But I said <0559>, My leanness < 07334>, my
leanness <07334>, woe <0188> unto me! the treacherous <0898>
dealers have dealt treacherously <0898>; yea, the treacherous
<0898> dealers have dealt very <0899> treacherously <0898>.



17 Fear <06343>, and the pit <06354>, and the snare <06341>,
[are] upon thee, O inhabitant <03427> of the earth < 0776>.



18 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] he who fleeth
<05127> from the noise <06963> of the fear < 06343> shall fall
<05307> into <0413> the pit <06354>; and he that cometh <05927>
up out of the midst <08432> of the pit <06354> shall be taken
<03920> in the snare <06341>: for the windows < 0699> from on
high <04791> are open <06605>, and the foundations <04146> of
the earth <0776> do shake <07493>.



19 The earth <0776> is utterly broken <07489> down, the earth
<0776> is clean <06565> dissolved <06565>, the earth <0776> is
moved <04132> exceedingly.



20 The earth <0776> shall reel <05128> to and fro like a
drunkard <07910>, and shall be removed <05110> like a cottage
<04412>; and the transgression <06588> thereof shall be heavy
<03513> upon it; and it shall fall <05307>, and not rise <06965>
again <03254>.



21 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] the LORD <03068> shall punish <06485> the host <06635> of
the high <04791> ones [that are] on high <04791>, and the kings
<04428> of the earth <0127> upon the earth < 0127>.



22 And they shall be gathered <0622> together, [as] prisoners
<0616> are gathered <0626> in the pit <0953>, and shall be shut
<05462> up in the prison <04525>, and after many < 07230> days
<03117> shall they be visited <06485>.



23 Then the moon <03842> shall be confounded <02659>, and the
sun <02535> ashamed <0954>, when <03588> the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635> shall reign <04427> in mount < 02022> Zion <06726>,
and in Jerusalem <03389>, and before <05048> his ancients
<02204> gloriously <03519>.



Isaiah 25



1. O LORD <03068>, thou [art] my God <0430>; I will exalt
<07311> thee, I will praise <03034> thy name < 08034>; for thou
hast done <06213> wonderful <06382> [things; thy] counsels
<06098> of old <07350> [are] faithfulness <0530> [and] truth
<0544>.



2 For thou hast made <07760> of a city <05892> an heap <01530>;
[of] a defenced <01219> city <07151> a ruin < 04654>: a palace
<0759> of strangers <02114> to be no city < 05892>; it shall
never be built <01129>.



3 Therefore shall the strong <05794> people <05971> glorify
<03513> thee, the city <07151> of the terrible < 06184> nations
<01471> shall fear <03372> thee.



4 For thou hast been <01961> a strength <04581> to the poor
<01800>, a strength <04581> to the needy <034> in his distress
<06862>, a refuge <04268> from the storm <02230> , a shadow
<06738> from the heat <02721>, when <03588> the blast <07307> of
the terrible <06184> ones [is] as a storm <02230> [against] the
wall <07023>.



5 Thou shalt bring <03665> down <03665> the noise <07588> of
strangers <02114>, as the heat <02721> in a dry < 06724> place;
[even] the heat <02721> with the shadow <06738> of a cloud
<05645>: the branch <02158> of the terrible < 06184> ones shall
be brought <06030> low <06030>.



6. And in this <02088> mountain <02022> shall the LORD <03068>
of hosts <06635> make <06213> unto all <03605> people <05971> a
feast <04960> of fat <08081> things, a feast < 04960> of wines
<08105> on the lees <08105>, of fat <08081> things full of
marrow <04229>, of wines <08105> on the lees < 08105> well
refined <02212>.



7 And he will destroy <01104> in this <02088> mountain <02022>
the face <06440> of the covering <03875> cast < 03874> over
<05921> all <03605> people <05971>, and the vail <04541> that is
spread <05259> over <05921> all <03605> nations <01471>.



8 He will swallow <01104> up death <04194> in victory <05331>;
and the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will wipe < 04229> away tears
<01832> from off <05921> all <03605> faces < 06440>; and the
rebuke <02781> of his people <05971> shall he take <05493> away
<05493> from off <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>: for the
LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> [it].



9. And it shall be said <0559> in that day <03117>, Lo <02009>,
this <02088> [is] our God <0430>; we have waited < 06960> for him,
and he will save <03467> us: this <02088> [is] the LORD <03068>;
we have waited <06960> for him, we will be glad < 01528> and
rejoice <08055> in his salvation <03444>.



10 For in this <02088> mountain <02022> shall the hand <03027>
of the LORD <03068> rest <05117>, and Moab < 04124> shall be
trodden <01758> down under <08478> him, even as straw <04963> is
trodden <01758> down for the dunghill <04087>.



11 And he shall spread <06566> forth his hands < 03027> in the
midst <07130> of them, as he that swimmeth <07811> spreadeth
<06566> forth [his hands] to swim <07811>: and he shall bring
<08213> down <08213> their pride <01346> together with the
spoils <0698> of their hands <03027>.



12 And the fortress <04013> of the high <04869> fort <04869> of
thy walls <02346> shall he bring <07817> down < 07817>, lay low
<08213>, [and] bring <05060> to the ground < 0776>, [even] to the
dust <06083>.



Isaiah 26



1. In that day <03117> shall this <02088> song < 07892> be sung
<07891> in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>; We have a strong
<05797> city <05892>; salvation <03444> will [God] appoint
<07896> [for] walls <02346> and bulwarks <02426> .



2 Open <06605> ye the gates <08179>, that the righteous <06662>
nation <01471> which keepeth <08104> the truth < 0529> may enter
<0935> in.



3 Thou wilt keep <05341> [him] in perfect peace < 07965>,
[whose] mind <03336> [is] stayed <05564> [on thee]: because
<03588> he trusteth <0982> in thee.



4 Trust <0982> ye in the LORD <03068> for ever < 05703>: for in
the LORD <03050> JEHOVAH <03068> [is] everlasting < 05769>
strength <06697>:



5. For he bringeth <07817> down <07817> them that dwell <03427>
on <04791> high <04791>; the lofty <07682> city <07151>, he
layeth it low <08213>; he layeth it low <08213>, [even] to the
ground <0776>; he bringeth <05060> it [even] to the dust <06083>.



6 The foot <07272> shall tread <07429> it down, [even] the feet
<07272> of the poor <06041>, [and] the steps < 06471> of the
needy <01800>.



7 The way <0734> of the just <06662> [is] uprightness <04339>:
thou, most upright <03477>, dost weigh <06424> the path <04570>
of the just <06662>.



8 Yea <0637>, in the way <0734> of thy judgments < 04941>, O
LORD <03068>, have we waited <06960> for thee; the desire
<08378> of [our] soul <05315> [is] to thy name < 08034>, and to
the remembrance <02143> of thee.



9 With my soul <05315> have I desired <0183> thee in the night
<03915>; yea <0637>, with my spirit <07307> within <07130> me
will I seek <07836> thee early <07836>: for when < 0834> thy
judgments <04941> [are] in the earth <0776>, the inhabitants
<03427> of the world <08398> will learn <03925> righteousness
<06664>.



10 Let favour <02603> be shewed to the wicked <07563> , [yet]
will he not learn <03925> righteousness <06664>: in the land
<0776> of uprightness <05229> will he deal unjustly <05765>, and
will not behold <07200> the majesty <01348> of the LORD <03068>.



11 LORD <03068>, [when] thy hand <03027> is lifted <05375> up,
they will not see <02372>: [but] they shall see < 02372>, and be
ashamed <0954> for [their] envy <07068> at the people <05971>;
yea <0637>, the fire <0784> of thine enemies < 06862> shall
devour <0398> them.



12. LORD <03068>, thou wilt ordain <08239> peace < 07965> for us:
for thou also <01571> hast wrought <06466> all < 03605> our
works <04639> in us.



13 O LORD <03068> our God <0430>, [other] lords < 0113> beside
<02108> thee have had dominion <01196> over us: [but] by thee
only <0905> will we make mention <02142> of thy name <08034>.



14 [They are] dead <04191>, they shall not live < 02421>; [they
are] deceased <07496>, they shall not rise <06965>: therefore
<03651> hast thou visited <06485> and destroyed < 08045> them,
and made all <03605> their memory <02143> to perish <06>.



15 Thou hast increased <03254> the nation <01471>, O LORD
<03068>, thou hast increased <03254> the nation < 01471>: thou
art glorified <03513>: thou hadst removed <07368> [it] far
<07368> [unto] all <03605> the ends <07097> of the earth <0776>.



16 LORD <03068>, in trouble <06862> have they visited <06485>
thee, they poured <06694> out a prayer <03908> [when] thy
chastening <04148> [was] upon them.



17 Like <03644> as a woman with child <02030>, [that] draweth
near <07126> the time of her delivery <03205>, is in pain
<02342>, [and] crieth <02199> out in her pangs < 02256>; so
<03651> have we been <01961> in thy sight < 06440>, O LORD
<03068>.



18 We have been with child <02029>, we have been in pain
<02342>, we have as it were brought <03205> forth < 03205> wind
<07307>; we have not wrought <06213> any deliverance <03444> in
the earth <0776>; neither <01077> have the inhabitants <03427>
of the world <08398> fallen <05307>.



19 Thy dead <04191> [men] shall live <02421>, [together with]
my dead <05038> body <05038> shall they arise < 06965>. Awake
<06974> and sing <07442>, ye that dwell <07931> in dust <06083>:
for thy dew <02919> [is as] the dew <02919> of herbs <0219>, and
the earth <0776> shall cast <05307> out the dead < 07496>.



20. Come <03212>, my people <05971>, enter < 0935> thou into thy
chambers <02315>, and shut <05462> thy doors < 01817> about
<01157> thee: hide <02247> thyself as it were for a little
<04592> moment <07281>, until <05704> the indignation <02195> be
overpast <05674>.



21 For, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> cometh < 03318> out of
his place <04725> to punish <06485> the inhabitants <03427> of
the earth <0776> for their iniquity <05771>: the earth <0776>
also shall disclose <01540> her blood <01818>, and shall no
<03808> more <05750> cover <03680> her slain <02026>.



Isaiah 27



1. In that day <03117> the LORD <03068> with his sore <07186>
and great <01419> and strong <02389> sword < 02719> shall punish
<06485> leviathan <03882> the piercing <01281> serpent <05175>,
even leviathan <03882> that crooked <06129> serpent <05175>; and
he shall slay <02026> the dragon <08577> that [is] in the sea
<03220>.



2 In that day <03117> sing <06031> ye unto her, A vineyard
<03754> of red <02561> wine <02561>.



3 I the LORD <03068> do keep <05341> it; I will water <08248>
it every moment <07281>: lest <06435> [any] hurt < 06485> it, I
will keep <05341> it night <03915> and day < 03117>.



4 Fury <02534> [is] not in me: who <04310> would set <05414>
the briers <08068> [and] thorns <07898> against me in battle
<04421>? I would go <06585> through them, I would burn <06702>
them together <03162>.



5 Or <0176> let him take <02388> hold <02388> of my strength
<04581>, [that] he may make <06213> peace < 07965> with me; [and]
he shall make <06213> peace <07965> with me.



6 He shall cause them that come <0935> of Jacob < 03290> to take
<02388> root <08327>: Israel <03478> shall blossom <06692> and
bud <06524>, and fill <04390> the face <06440> of the world
<08398> with fruit <08570>.



7. Hath he smitten <05221> him, as he smote <04347> those that
smote <05221> him? [or] is he slain <02026> according to the
slaughter <02027> of them that are slain <02026> by him?



8 In measure <05432>, when it shooteth <07971> forth, thou wilt
debate <07378> with it: he stayeth <01898> his rough <07186>
wind <07307> in the day <03117> of the east < 06921> wind.



9 By this <02063> therefore <03651> shall the iniquity <05771>
of Jacob <03290> be purged <03722>; and this < 02088> [is] all
<03605> the fruit <06529> to take <05493> away <05493> his sin
<02403>; when he maketh <07760> all <03605> the stones <068> of
the altar <04196> as chalkstones that are beaten < 05310> in
sunder, the groves <0842> and images <02553> shall not stand
<06965> up.



10 Yet the defenced <01219> city <05892> [shall be] desolate
<0910>, [and] the habitation <05116> forsaken < 07971>, and left
<05800> like a wilderness <04057>: there <08033> shall the calf
<05695> feed <07462>, and there <08033> shall he lie <07257>
down <07257>, and consume <03615> the branches < 05585> thereof.



11 When the boughs <07105> thereof are withered < 03001>, they
shall be broken <07665> off: the women <0802> come <0935>, [and]
set them on fire <0215>: for it [is] a people <05971> of no
<03808> understanding <0998>: therefore he that made <06213>
them will not have mercy <07355> on them, and he that formed
<03335> them will shew them no <03808> favour < 02603>.



12 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] the LORD <03068> shall beat <02251> off from the channel
<07641> of the river <05104> unto the stream < 05158> of Egypt
<04714>, and ye shall be gathered <03950> one < 0259> by one
<0259>, O ye children <01121> of Israel <03478>.



13 And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] the great <01419> trumpet <07782> shall be blown <08628>,
and they shall come <0935> which were ready to perish < 06> in
the land <0776> of Assyria <0804>, and the outcasts <05080> in
the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and shall worship <07812> the
LORD <03068> in the holy <06944> mount <02022> at Jerusalem
<03389>.



Isaiah 28



1. Woe <01945> to the crown <05850> of pride < 01348>, to the
drunkards <07910> of Ephraim <0669>, whose glorious <06643>
beauty <08597> [is] a fading <05034> flower < 06731>, which
<0834> [are] on the head <07218> of the fat < 08081> valleys
<01516> of them that are overcome <01986> with wine <03196>!



2 Behold <02009>, the Lord <0136> hath a mighty < 02389> and
strong <0533> one, [which] as a tempest <02230> of hail <01259>
[and] a destroying <06986> storm <08178>, as a flood <02230> of
mighty <03524> waters <04325> overflowing < 07857>, shall cast
<03240> down to the earth <0776> with the hand < 03027>.



3 The crown <05850> of pride <01348>, the drunkards <07910> of
Ephraim <0669>, shall be trodden <07429> under feet <07272>:



4 And the glorious <06643> beauty <08597>, which < 0834> [is] on
<05921> the head <07218> of the fat <08081> valley <01516>,
shall be a fading <05034> flower <06733>, [and] as the hasty
<01061> fruit <01061> before <02962> the summer <07019>; which
<0834> [when] he that looketh <07200> upon it seeth <07200>,
while it is yet <05750> in his hand <03709> he eateth <01104> it
up.



5 In that day <03117> shall the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>
be for a crown <05850> of glory <06643>, and for a diadem
<06843> of beauty <08597>, unto the residue < 07605> of his
people <05971>,



6 And for a spirit <07307> of judgment <04941> to him that
sitteth <03427> in judgment <04941>, and for strength <01369> to
them that turn <07725> the battle <04421> to the gate <08179>.



7 But they also <01571> have erred <07686> through wine <03196>,
and through strong drink <07941> are out of the way < 08582>;
the priest <03548> and the prophet <05030> have erred <07686>
through strong drink <07941>, they are swallowed < 01104> up of
wine <03196>, they are out of the way <08582> through <04480>
strong drink <07941>; they err <07686> in vision < 07203>, they
stumble <06328> [in] judgment <06417>.



8 For all <03605> tables <07979> are full < 04390> of vomit
<06892> [and] filthiness <06675>, [so that there is] no <01097>
place <04725> [clean].



9. Whom shall he teach <03384> knowledge <01844>? and whom
shall he make to understand <0995> doctrine <08052>? [them that
are] weaned <01580> from the milk <02461>, [and] drawn <06267>
from the breasts <07699>.



10 For precept <06673> [must be] upon precept <06673> , precept
<06673> upon precept <06673>; line <06957> upon line <06957>,
line <06957> upon line <06957>; here <08033> a little <02191>,
[and] there <08033> a little <02191>:



11 For with stammering <03934> lips <08193> and another <0312>
tongue <03956> will he speak <01696> to this < 02088> people
<05971>.



12 To whom he said <0559>, This <02063> [is] the rest <04496>
[wherewith <0834>] ye may cause the weary <05889> to rest
<05117>; and this <02063> [is] the refreshing < 04774>: yet they
would <014> not hear <08085>.



13 But the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> was unto them
precept <06673> upon precept <06673>, precept < 06673> upon
precept <06673>; line <06957> upon line <06957>, line <06957>
upon line <06957>; here <08033> a little <02191> , [and] there
<08033> a little <02191>; that they might go < 03212>, and fall
<03782> backward <0268>, and be broken <07665>, and snared
<03369>, and taken <03920>.



14. Wherefore <03651> hear <08085> the word < 01697> of the LORD
<03068>, ye scornful <03944> men <0582>, that rule <04910> this
<02088> people <05971> which <0834> [is] in Jerusalem <03389>.



15 Because <03588> ye have said <0559>, We have made <03772> a
covenant <01285> with death <04194>, and with hell <07585> are
we at agreement <02374>; when <03588> the overflowing <07857>
scourge <07885> shall pass <05674> through, it shall not come
<0935> unto us: for we have made <07760> lies < 03576> our refuge
<04268>, and under falsehood <08267> have we hid < 05641>
ourselves:



16 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>
GOD <03069>, Behold <02005>, I lay in Zion < 06726> for a
foundation <03248> a stone <068>, a tried <0976> stone <068>, a
precious <03368> corner <06438> [stone], a sure < 03245>
foundation <04143>: he that believeth <0539> shall not make
haste <02363>.



17 Judgment <04941> also will I lay <07760> to the line <06957>,
and righteousness <06666> to the plummet <04949>: and the hail
<01259> shall sweep <03261> away the refuge < 04268> of lies
<03576>, and the waters <04325> shall overflow < 07857> the
hiding <05643> place.



18 And your covenant <01285> with death <04194> shall be
disannulled <03722>, and your agreement <02380> with hell
<07585> shall not stand <06965>; when <03588> the overflowing
<07857> scourge <07752> shall pass <05674> through, then ye
shall be trodden <04823> down by it.



19 From the time <01767> that it goeth <05674> forth <05674> it
shall take <03947> you: for morning <01242> by morning <01242>
shall it pass <05674> over <05674>, by day < 03117> and by night
<03915>: and it shall be a vexation <02113> only < 07535> [to]
understand <0995> the report <08052>.



20 For the bed <04702> is shorter <07114> than that [a man
<0376>] can stretch <08311> himself [on it]: and the covering
<04541> narrower <06887> than that he can wrap < 03664> himself
[in it].



21 For the LORD <03068> shall rise <06965> up as [in] mount
<02022> Perazim, he shall be wroth <07264> as [in] the valley
<06010> of Gibeon <01391>, that he may do < 06213> his work
<04639>, his strange <02114> work <04639>; and bring <05647> to
pass <05674> his act <05556>, his strange < 05237> act <05556>.



22 Now <06258> therefore be ye not mockers <03887>, lest
<06435> your bands <04147> be made strong < 02388>: for I have
heard <08085> from the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>
a consumption <03617>, even determined <02782> upon the whole
<03605> earth <0776>.



23. Give ye ear <0238>, and hear <08085> my voice <06963>;
hearken <07181>, and hear <08085> my speech < 0565>.



24 Doth the plowman <02790> plow <02790> all < 03605> day
<03117> to sow <02232>? doth he open <06605> and break <07702>
the clods <07702> of his ground <0127>?



25 When <0518> he hath made plain <07737> the face <06440>
thereof, doth he not cast <06327> abroad <06327> the fitches
<07100>, and scatter <02236> the cummin <03646>, and cast
<07760> in the principal <07795> wheat <02406> and the appointed
<05567> barley <08184> and the rie <03698> in their place
<01367>?



26 For his God <0430> doth instruct <03256> him to discretion
<04941>, [and] doth teach <03384> him.



27 For the fitches <07100> are not threshed <01758> with a
threshing <02742> instrument, neither <01077> is a cart <05699>
wheel <0212> turned <05437> about upon the cummin < 03646>; but
the fitches <07100> are beaten <02251> out with a staff <04294>,
and the cummin <03646> with a rod <07626>.



28 Bread <03899> [corn] is bruised <01854>; because <03588> he
will not ever <05331> be threshing <01758> it, nor break <02000>
[it with] the wheel <01536> of his cart <05699>, nor <03808>
bruise <01854> it [with] his horsemen <06571>.



29 This <02088> also <01571> cometh <03318> forth <03318> from
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, [which] is wonderful <06381>
in counsel <06098>, [and] excellent <01431> in working <08454>.



Isaiah 29



1. Woe <01945> to Ariel <0740>, to Ariel <0740> , the city
<07151> [where] David <01732> dwelt <02583>! add <05595> ye year
<08141> to year <08141>; let them kill <05362> sacrifices
<02282>.



2 Yet I will distress <06693> Ariel <0740>, and there shall be
heaviness <08386> and sorrow <0592>: and it shall be unto me as
Ariel <0740>.



3 And I will camp <02583> against <05921> thee round <01754>
about, and will lay siege <06696> against <05921> thee with a
mount <04674>, and I will raise <06965> forts < 04694> against
<05921> thee.



4 And thou shalt be brought <08213> down <08213>, [and] shalt
speak <01696> out of the ground <0776>, and thy speech <0565>
shall be low <07817> out of the dust <06083>, and thy voice
<06963> shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit < 0178>,
out of the ground <0776>, and thy speech <0565> shall whisper
<06850> out of the dust <06083>.



5 Moreover the multitude <01995> of thy strangers < 02114> shall
be like small <01851> dust <080>, and the multitude <01995> of
the terrible <06184> ones [shall be] as chaff <04671> that
passeth <05674> away: yea, it shall be at an instant < 06621>
suddenly <06597>.



6 Thou shalt be visited <06485> of the LORD <03068> of hosts
<06635> with thunder <07482>, and with earthquake < 07494>, and
great <01419> noise <06963>, with storm <05492> and tempest
<05591>, and the flame <03851> of devouring < 0398> fire <0784>.



7 And the multitude <01995> of all <03605> the nations <01471>
that fight <06633> against <05921> Ariel <0740>, even all
<03605> that fight <06633> against her and her munition <04685>,
and that distress <06693> her, shall be as a dream < 02472> of a
night <03915> vision <02377>.



8 It shall even be as when <0834> an hungry <07456> [man]
dreameth <02492>, and, behold <02009>, he eateth < 0398>; but he
awaketh <06974>, and his soul <05315> is empty < 07385>: or as
when <0834> a thirsty <06771> man dreameth < 02492>, and, behold
<02009>, he drinketh <08354>; but he awaketh < 06974>, and,
behold <02009>, [he is] faint <05889>, and his soul <05315> hath
appetite <08264>: so shall the multitude <01995> of all <03605>
the nations <01471> be, that fight <06633> against <05921> mount
<02022> Zion <06726>.



9. Stay <04102> yourselves, and wonder <08539>; cry <08173> ye
out, and cry <08173>: they are drunken <07937>, but not with
wine <03196>; they stagger <05128>, but not with strong drink
<07941>.



10 For the LORD <03068> hath poured <05258> out upon you the
spirit <07307> of deep <08639> sleep <08639>, and hath closed
<06105> your eyes <05869>: the prophets <05030> and your rulers
<07218>, the seers <02374> hath he covered < 03680>.



11 And the vision <02380> of all <03605> is become <01961> unto
you as the words <01697> of a book <05612> that is sealed
<02856>, which <0834> [men] deliver <05414> to one that is
learned, saying <0559>, Read <07121> this < 02088>, I pray
<04994> thee: and he saith <0559>, I cannot; for it [is] sealed
<02856>:



12 And the book <05612> is delivered <05414> to him that is not
learned, saying <0559>, Read <07121> this < 02088>, I pray
<04994> thee: and he saith <0559>, I am not learned.



13 Wherefore the Lord <0136> said <0559>, Forasmuch as this
people <05971> draw near <05066> [me] with their mouth <06310>,
and with their lips <08193> do honour <03513> me, but have
removed <07368> their heart <03820> far <07368> from me, and
their fear <03374> toward <0854> me is taught < 03925> by the
precept <04687> of men <0582>:



14 Therefore <03651>, behold <02005>, I will proceed <03254> to
do a marvellous <06381> work <06381> among this < 02088> people
<05971>, [even] a marvellous <06381> work < 06381> and a wonder
<06382>: for the wisdom <02451> of their wise < 02450> [men]
shall perish <06>, and the understanding <0998> of their prudent
<0995> [men] shall be hid <05641>.



15 Woe <01945> unto them that seek deep <06009> to hide <05641>
their counsel <06098> from the LORD <03068>, and their works
<04639> are in the dark <04285>, and they say < 0559>, Who
<04310> seeth <07200> us? and who <04310> knoweth <03045> us?



16 Surely <0518> your turning <02017> of things upside down
shall be esteemed <02803> as the potter's <03335> clay <02563>:
for shall the work <04639> say <0559> of him that made <06213>
it, He made <06213> me not? or shall the thing framed < 03336>
say <0559> of him that framed <03335> it, He had no <03808>
understanding <0995>?



17. [Is] it not yet <05750> a very <04213> little <04592> while,
and Lebanon <03844> shall be turned <07725> into a fruitful
<03759> field, and the fruitful <03759> field shall be esteemed
<02803> as a forest <03293>?



18 And in that day <03117> shall the deaf <02795> hear <08085>
the words <01697> of the book <05612>, and the eyes <05869> of
the blind <05787> shall see <07200> out of obscurity <0652>, and
out of darkness <02822>.



19 The meek <06035> also shall increase <03254> [their] joy
<08057> in the LORD <03068>, and the poor <034> among men <0120>
shall rejoice <01523> in the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>.



20 For the terrible <06184> one is brought <0656> to nought
<0656>, and the scorner <03887> is consumed < 03615>, and all
<03605> that watch <08245> for iniquity <0205> are cut <03772>
off:



21 That make a man <0120> an offender <02398> for a word
<01697>, and lay a snare <06983> for him that reproveth <03198>
in the gate <08179>, and turn <05186> aside < 05186> the just
<06662> for a thing of nought <08414>.



22 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>,
who <0834> redeemed <06299> Abraham <085>, concerning <0413>
the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, Jacob < 03290> shall not now
<06258> be ashamed <0954>, neither <03808> shall his face
<06440> now <06258> wax pale <02357>.



23 But when <03588> he seeth <07200> his children <03206>, the
work <04639> of mine hands <03027>, in the midst < 07130> of him,
they shall sanctify <06942> my name <08034>, and sanctify
<06942> the Holy <06918> One of Jacob <03290>, and shall fear
<06206> the God <0430> of Israel <03478>.



24 They also that erred <08582> in spirit <07307> shall come
<03045> to understanding <0998>, and they that murmured <07279>
shall learn <03925> doctrine <03948>.



Isaiah 30



1. Woe <01945> to the rebellious <05637> children <01121>,
saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, that take < 06213> counsel
<06098>, but not of me; and that cover <05258> with a covering
<04541>, but not of my spirit <07307>, that they may add <05595>
sin <02403> to sin <02403>:



2 That walk <01980> to go <03381> down <03381> into Egypt
<04714>, and have not asked <07592> at my mouth < 06310>; to
strengthen <05810> themselves in the strength <04581> of Pharaoh
<06547>, and to trust <02620> in the shadow < 06738> of Egypt
<04714>!



3 Therefore shall the strength <04581> of Pharaoh < 06547> be
your shame <01322>, and the trust <02622> in the shadow <06738>
of Egypt <04714> [your] confusion <03639>.



4 For his princes <08269> were at Zoan <06814>, and his
ambassadors <04397> came <05060> to Hanes < 02609>.



5 They were all <03605> ashamed <0954> of a people <05971>
[that] could not profit <03276> them, nor <03808> be an help
<05828> nor <03808> profit <03276>, but a shame <01322>, and
also <01571> a reproach <02781>.



6 The burden <04853> of the beasts <0929> of the south <05045>:
into the land <0776> of trouble <06869> and anguish <06695>,
from whence <01992> [come] the young <03833> and old <03918>
lion <03918>, the viper <0660> and fiery <08314> flying <05774>
serpent <08314>, they will carry <05375> their riches <02428>
upon the shoulders <03802> of young asses <05895>, and their
treasures <0214> upon the bunches <01707> of camels <01581>, to
a people <05971> [that] shall not profit <03276> [them].



7 For the Egyptians <04714> shall help <05826> in vain <01892>,
and to no <07385> purpose <07385>: therefore < 03651> have I
cried <07121> concerning this <02063>, Their strength <07293>
[is] to sit <07674> still <07673>.



8. Now <06258> go <0935>, write <03789> it before <0854> them
in a table <03871>, and note <02710> it in a book < 05612>, that
it may be for the time <03117> to come <0314> for ever <05703>
and ever <05769>:



9 That this <01931> [is] a rebellious <04805> people <05971>,
lying <03586> children <01121>, children <01121> [that] will
<014> not hear <08085> the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>:



10 Which <0834> say <0559> to the seers <07200> , See <07200>
not; and to the prophets <02374>, Prophesy <02372> not unto us
right <05229> things, speak <01696> unto us smooth <02513>
things, prophesy <02372> deceits <04123>:



11 Get you out of the way <01870>, turn <05186> aside <05186>
out of the path <0734>, cause the Holy <06918> One of Israel
<03478> to cease <07673> from before <06440> us.



12 Wherefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Holy <06918>
One of Israel <03478>, Because <03282> ye despise < 03988> this
<02088> word <01697>, and trust <0982> in oppression <06233> and
perverseness <03868>, and stay <08172> thereon < 05921>:



13 Therefore <03651> this <02088> iniquity < 05771> shall be to
you as a breach <06556> ready to fall <05307>, swelling <01158>
out in a high <07682> wall <02346>, whose <0834> breaking
<07667> cometh <0935> suddenly <06597> at an instant <06621>.



14 And he shall break <07665> it as the breaking < 07667> of the
potters <03335>' vessel <05035> that is broken < 03807> in pieces;
he shall not spare <02550>: so that there shall not be found
<04672> in the bursting <04386> of it a sherd < 02789> to take
<02846> fire <0784> from the hearth <03344>, or to take <02834>
water <04325> [withal] out of the pit <01360>.



15 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>,
the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>; In returning <07729> and
rest <05183> shall ye be saved <03467>; in quietness <08252> and
in confidence <0985> shall be your strength <01369>: and ye
would <014> not.



16 But ye said <0559>, No <03808>; for we will flee <05127>
upon horses <05483>; therefore shall ye flee <05127>: and, We
will ride <07392> upon the swift <07031>; therefore shall they
that pursue <07291> you be swift <07043>.



17 One <0259> thousand <0505> [shall flee] at < 06440> the
rebuke <01606> of one <0259>; at <06440> the rebuke <01606> of
five <02568> shall ye flee <05127>: till ye be left <03498> as a
beacon <08650> upon the top <07218> of a mountain < 02022>, and
as an ensign <05251> on <05921> an hill <01389>.



18. And therefore <03651> will the LORD <03068> wait <02442>,
that he may be gracious <02603> unto you, and therefore < 03651>
will he be exalted <07311>, that he may have mercy < 07355> upon
you: for the LORD <03068> [is] a God <0430> of judgment <04941>:
blessed <0835> [are] all <03605> they that wait < 02442> for him.



19 For the people <05971> shall dwell <03427> in Zion <06726>
at Jerusalem <03389>: thou shalt weep <01058> no < 03808> more
<01058>: he will be very gracious <02603> unto thee at the voice
<06963> of thy cry <02201>; when he shall hear < 08085> it, he
will answer <06030> thee.



20 And [though] the Lord <0136> give <05414> you the bread
<03899> of adversity <06862>, and the water < 04325> of
affliction <03905>, yet shall not thy teachers <03384> be
removed <03670> into a corner <03671> any more < 05750>, but
thine eyes <05869> shall see <07200> thy teachers < 03384>:



21 And thine ears <0241> shall hear <08085> a word <01697>
behind <0310> thee, saying <0559>, This <02088> [is] the way
<01870>, walk <03212> ye in it, when <03588> ye turn to the
right <0541> hand <03027>, and when <03588> ye turn to the left
<08041>.



22 Ye shall defile <02930> also the covering <06826> of thy
graven <06456> images of silver <03701>, and the ornament <0642>
of thy molten <04541> images of gold <02091>: thou shalt cast
<02219> them away <02219> as a menstruous < 01739> cloth; thou
shalt say <0559> unto it, Get <03318> thee hence < 03318>.



23 Then shall he give <05414> the rain <04306> of thy seed
<02233>, that thou shalt sow <02232> the ground < 0127> withal;
and bread <03899> of the increase <08393> of the earth <0127>,
and it shall be fat <01879> and plenteous <08082>: in that day
<03117> shall thy cattle <04735> feed <07462> in large <07337>
pastures <03733>.



24 The oxen <0504> likewise and the young asses < 05895> that
ear <05647> the ground <0127> shall eat <0398> clean <02548>
provender <01098>, which <0834> hath been winnowed <02219> with
the shovel <07371> and with the fan <04214>.



25 And there shall be upon every <03605> high <01364> mountain
<02022>, and upon every <03605> high <04791> hill <01389>,
rivers <06388> [and] streams <02988> of waters < 04325> in the
day <03117> of the great <07227> slaughter < 02027>, when the
towers <04026> fall <05307>.



26 Moreover the light <0216> of the moon <03842> shall be as
the light <0216> of the sun <02535>, and the light <0216> of the
sun <08121> shall be sevenfold <07659>, as the light <0216> of
seven <07651> days <03117>, in the day <03117> that the LORD
<03068> bindeth <02280> up the breach <07667> of his people
<05971>, and healeth <07495> the stroke <04273> of their wound
<04347>.



27. Behold <02009>, the name <08034> of the LORD < 03068> cometh
<0935> from far <04801>, burning <01197> [with] his anger <0639>,
and the burden <04858> [thereof is] heavy <03514>: his lips
<08193> are full <04390> of indignation <02195>, and his tongue
<03956> as a devouring <0398> fire <0784>:



28 And his breath <07307>, as an overflowing <07857> stream
<05158>, shall reach <05060> to the midst < 02673> of the neck
<06677>, to sift <05130> the nations <01471> with the sieve
<05299> of vanity <07723>: and [there shall be] a bridle <07448>
in the jaws <03895> of the people <05971>, causing [them] to err
<08582>.



29 Ye shall have <01961> a song <07892>, as in the night
<03915> [when] a holy <06942> solemnity <02282> is kept <06942>;
and gladness <08057> of heart <03824>, as when one goeth <01980>
with a pipe <02485> to come <0935> into the mountain <02022> of
the LORD <03068>, to the mighty <06697> One of Israel <03478>.



30 And the LORD <03068> shall cause his glorious < 01935> voice
<06963> to be heard <08085>, and shall shew < 07200> the lighting
<05183> down <05183> of his arm <02220>, with the indignation
<02197> of [his] anger <0639>, and [with] the flame <03851> of a
devouring <0398> fire <0784>, [with] scattering < 05311>, and
tempest <02230>, and hailstones.



31 For through the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> shall the
Assyrian <0804> be beaten <02865> down, [which] smote <05221>
with a rod <07626>.



32 And [in] every <03605> place where the grounded < 04145>
staff <04294> shall pass <04569>, which <0834> the LORD <03068>
shall lay <05117> upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets < 08596>
and harps <03658>: and in battles <04421> of shaking <08573>
will he fight <03898> with it.



33 For Tophet <08613> [is] ordained <06186> of old <0865>; yea
<01571>, for the king <04428> it is prepared < 03559>; he hath
made [it] deep <06009> [and] large <07337>: the pile <04071>
thereof [is] fire <0784> and much <07235> wood < 06086>; the
breath <05397> of the LORD <03068>, like a stream < 05158> of
brimstone <01614>, doth kindle <01197> it.



Isaiah 31



1. Woe <01945> to them that go <03381> down < 03381> to Egypt
<04714> for help <05833>; and stay <08172> on <05921> horses
<05483>, and trust <0982> in chariots <07393>, because <03588>
[they are] many <07227>; and in horsemen <06571>, because
<03588> they are very <03966> strong <06105>; but they look
<08159> not unto the Holy <06918> One of Israel < 03478>, neither
<03808> seek <01875> the LORD <03068>!



2 Yet he also <01571> [is] wise <02450>, and will bring <0935>
evil <07451>, and will not call <05493> back < 05493> his words
<01697>: but will arise <06965> against <05921> the house
<01004> of the evildoers <07489>, and against < 05921> the help
<05833> of them that work <06213> iniquity < 0205>.



3 Now the Egyptians <04714> [are] men <0120>, and not God
<0410>; and their horses <05483> flesh <01320>, and not spirit
<07307>. When the LORD <03068> shall stretch < 05186> out his
hand <03027>, both <08147> he that helpeth < 05826> shall fall
<03782>, and he that is holpen <05826> shall fall < 05307> down,
and they all <03605> shall fail <03615> together < 03162>.



4 For thus <03541> hath the LORD <03068> spoken < 0559> unto me,
Like as the lion <0738> and the young <03715> lion <03715>
roaring <01897> on <05921> his prey <02964>, when <0834> a
multitude <04393> of shepherds <07462> is called < 07121> forth
against <05921> him, [he] will not be afraid <02865> of their
voice <06963>, nor <03808> abase <06031> himself for the noise
<01995> of them: so <03651> shall the LORD < 03068> of hosts
<06635> come <03381> down <03381> to fight < 06633> for mount
<02022> Zion <06726>, and for the hill <01389> thereof.



5 As birds <06833> flying <05774>, so will the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635> defend <01598> Jerusalem <03389>; defending
<01598> also he will deliver <05337> [it; and] passing <05674>
over he will preserve <04422> it.



6. Turn <07725> ye unto [him from] whom <0834> the children
<01121> of Israel <03478> have deeply <06009> revolted <05627>.



7 For in that day <03117> every man <0376> shall cast <03988>
away <03988> his idols <0457> of silver <03701>, and his idols
<0457> of gold <02091>, which <0834> your own hands <03027> have
made <06213> unto you [for] a sin <02399>.



8 Then shall the Assyrian <0804> fall <05307> with the sword
<02719>, not of a mighty <0376> man <0376>; and the sword
<02719>, not of a mean <0120> man <0120>, shall devour <0398>
him: but he shall flee <05127> from the sword <02719>, and his
young <0970> men shall be discomfited <04522>.



9 And he shall pass <05674> over <05674> to his strong <05553>
hold <05553> for fear <04032>, and his princes < 08269> shall be
afraid <02865> of the ensign <05251>, saith < 05002> the LORD
<03068>, whose <0834> fire <0217> [is] in Zion <06726>, and his
furnace <08574> in Jerusalem <03389>.



Isaiah 32



1. Behold <02005>, a king <04428> shall reign < 04427> in
righteousness <06664>, and princes <08269> shall rule <08323> in
judgment <04941>.



2 And a man <0376> shall be as an hiding <04224> place from the
wind <07307>, and a covert <05643> from the tempest <02230>; as
rivers <06388> of water <04325> in a dry <06724> place, as the
shadow <06738> of a great <03515> rock <05553> in a weary
<05889> land <0776>.



3 And the eyes <05869> of them that see <07200> shall not be
dim <08159>, and the ears <0241> of them that hear <08085> shall
hearken <07181>.



4 The heart <03824> also of the rash <04116> shall understand
<0995> knowledge <01847>, and the tongue <03956> of the
stammerers <05926> shall be ready <04116> to speak <01696>
plainly <06703>.



5 The vile <05036> person shall be no <03808> more <05750>
called <07121> liberal <05081>, nor <03808> the churl <03596>
said <0559> [to be] bountiful <07771>.



6 For the vile <05036> person will speak <01696> villany
<05039>, and his heart <03820> will work <06213> iniquity <0205>,
to practise <06213> hypocrisy <02612>, and to utter <01696>
error <08432> against <0413> the LORD <03068>, to make empty
<07324> the soul <05315> of the hungry <07456>, and he will
cause the drink <04945> of the thirsty <06771> to fail <02637>.



7 The instruments <03627> also of the churl <03596> [are] evil
<07451>: he deviseth <03289> wicked <02154> devices <02154> to
destroy <02254> the poor with lying <08267> words < 0561>, even
when the needy <034> speaketh <01696> right < 04941>.



8 But the liberal <05081> deviseth <03289> liberal <05081>
things; and by liberal <05081> things shall he stand < 06965>.



9. Rise <06965> up, ye women <0802> that are at ease <07600>;
hear <08085> my voice <06963>, ye careless < 0982> daughters
<01121>; give ear <0238> unto my speech <0565>.



10 Many days <03117> and years <08141> shall ye be troubled
<07264>, ye careless <0982> women: for the vintage <01210> shall
fail <03615>, the gathering <0625> shall not come < 0935>.



11 Tremble <02729>, ye women that are at ease <07600> ; be
troubled <07264>, ye careless <0982> ones: strip < 06584> you,
and make you bare <06209>, and gird <02290> [sackcloth] upon
[your] loins <02504>.



12 They shall lament <05594> for the teats <07699>, for the
pleasant <02531> fields <07704>, for the fruitful < 06509> vine
<01612>.



13 Upon the land <0127> of my people <05971> shall come <05927>
up thorns <06975> [and] briers <08068>; yea < 03588>, upon all
<03605> the houses <01004> of joy <04885> [in] the joyous
<05947> city <07151>:



14 Because <03588> the palaces <0759> shall be forsaken <05203>;
the multitude <01995> of the city <05892> shall be left <05800>;
the forts <06076> and towers <0975> shall be for dens <04631>
for ever <05769>, a joy <04885> of wild <06501> asses <06501>, a
pasture <04829> of flocks <05739>;



15 Until <05704> the spirit <07307> be poured < 06168> upon us
from on high <04791>, and the wilderness <04057> be a fruitful
<03759> field, and the fruitful <03759> field be counted <02803>
for a forest <03293>.



16 Then judgment <04941> shall dwell <07931> in the wilderness
<04057>, and righteousness <06666> remain < 03427> in the
fruitful <03759> field.



17 And the work <04639> of righteousness <06666> shall be peace
<07965>; and the effect <05656> of righteousness < 06666>
quietness <08252> and assurance <0983> for ever < 05769>.



18 And my people <05971> shall dwell <03427> in a peaceable
<07965> habitation <05116>, and in sure <04009> dwellings
<04908>, and in quiet <07600> resting <04496> places;



19 When it shall hail <01258>, coming <03381> down <03381> on
the forest <03293>; and the city <05892> shall be low <08213> in
a low <08219> place.



20 Blessed <0835> [are] ye that sow <02232> beside <05921> all
<03605> waters <04325>, that send <07971> forth [thither] the
feet <07272> of the ox <07794> and the ass < 02543>.



Isaiah 33



1. Woe <01945> to thee that spoilest <07703>, and thou [wast]
not spoiled <07703>; and dealest treacherously <0898>, and they
dealt not treacherously <0898> with thee! when thou shalt cease
<08552> to spoil <07703>, thou shalt be spoiled < 07703>; [and]
when thou shalt make an end <05239> to deal treacherously <0898>,
they shall deal treacherously <0898> with thee.



2 O LORD <03068>, be gracious <02603> unto us; we have waited
<06960> for thee: be thou their arm <02220> every morning
<01242>, our salvation <03444> also <0637> in the time <06256>
of trouble <06869>.



3 At the noise <06963> of the tumult <01995> the people <05971>
fled <05074>; at the lifting <07427> up of thyself the nations
<01471> were scattered <05310>.



4 And your spoil <07998> shall be gathered <0622> [like] the
gathering <0625> of the caterpiller <02625>: as the running
<04944> to and fro of locusts <01357> shall he run <08264> upon
them.



5 The LORD <03068> is exalted <07682>; for he dwelleth <07931>
on high <04791>: he hath filled <04390> Zion < 06726> with
judgment <04941> and righteousness <06666>.



6 And wisdom <02451> and knowledge <01847> shall be the
stability <0530> of thy times <06256>, [and] strength <02633> of
salvation <03444>: the fear <03374> of the LORD < 03068> [is] his
treasure <0214>.



7 Behold <02005>, their valiant <0691> ones shall cry <06817>
without <02351>: the ambassadors <04397> of peace < 07965> shall
weep <01058> bitterly <04751>.



8 The highways <04546> lie waste <08074>, the wayfaring man
ceaseth <07673>: he hath broken <06565> the covenant <01285>, he
hath despised <03988> the cities <05892>, he regardeth <02803>
no <03808> man <0582>.



9 The earth <0776> mourneth <056> [and] languisheth <0535>:
Lebanon <03844> is ashamed <02659> [and] hewn < 07060> down:
Sharon <08289> is like a wilderness <06160>; and Bashan <01316>
and Carmel <03760> shake <05287> off [their fruits].



10 Now <06258> will I rise <06965>, saith < 0559> the LORD
<03068>; now <06258> will I be exalted <07311>; now <06258> will
I lift <05375> up myself.



11 Ye shall conceive <02029> chaff <02842>, ye shall bring
<03205> forth <03205> stubble <07179>: your breath <07307>, [as]
fire <0784>, shall devour <0398> you.



12 And the people <05971> shall be [as] the burnings < 04955> of
lime <07875>: [as] thorns <06975> cut <03683> up shall they be
burned <03341> in the fire <0784>.



13. Hear <08085>, ye [that are] far <07350> off, what <0834> I
have done <06213>; and, ye [that are] near <07138>, acknowledge
<03045> my might <01369>.



14 The sinners <02400> in Zion <06726> are afraid <06342>;
fearfulness <07461> hath surprised <0270> the hypocrites. Who
<04310> among us shall dwell <01481> with the devouring <0398>
fire <0784>? who <04310> among us shall dwell < 01481> with
everlasting <05769> burnings <04168>?



15 He that walketh <01980> righteously <06666>, and speaketh
<01696> uprightly <04339>; he that despiseth < 03988> the gain
<01214> of oppressions <04642>, that shaketh < 05287> his hands
<03709> from holding <08551> of bribes <07810>, that stoppeth
<0331> his ears <0241> from hearing <08085> of blood <01818>,
and shutteth <06105> his eyes <05869> from seeing < 07200> evil
<07451>;



16 He shall dwell <07931> on high <04791>: his place of defence
<04869> [shall be] the munitions <04679> of rocks < 05553>: bread
<03899> shall be given <05414> him; his waters < 04325> [shall
be] sure <0539>.



17 Thine eyes <05869> shall see <02372> the king < 04428> in his
beauty <03308>: they shall behold <07200> the land <0776> that
is very <04801> far <04801> off.



18 Thine heart <03820> shall meditate <01897> terror <0367>.
Where <0346> [is] the scribe <05608>? where < 0346> [is] the
receiver <08254>? where <0346> [is] he that counted <05608> the
towers <04026>?



19 Thou shalt not see <07200> a fierce <03267> people <05971>,
a people <05971> of a deeper <06012> speech < 08193> than thou
canst perceive <08085>; of a stammering <03932> tongue <03956>,
[that thou canst] not understand <0998>.



20 Look <02372> upon Zion <06726>, the city < 07151> of our
solemnities <04150>: thine eyes <05869> shall see < 07200>
Jerusalem <03389> a quiet <07600> habitation < 05116>, a
tabernacle <0168> [that] shall not be taken <06813> down; not
one of the stakes <03489> thereof shall ever <05331> be removed
<05265>, neither <01077> shall any <03605> of the cords <02256>
thereof be broken <05423>.



21 But there <08033> the glorious <0117> LORD < 03068> [will be]
unto us a place <04725> of broad rivers <05103> [and] streams
<02975>; wherein shall go <03212> no <01077> galley <0590> with
oars <07885>, neither <03808> shall gallant < 0117> ship <06716>
pass <05674> thereby.



22 For the LORD <03068> [is] our judge <08199>, the LORD
<03068> [is] our lawgiver <02710>, the LORD < 03068> [is] our
king <04428>; he will save <03467> us.



23 Thy tacklings <02256> are loosed <05203>; they could not
well <03651> strengthen <02388> their mast < 08650>, they could
not spread <06566> the sail <05251>: then <0227> is the prey
<05706> of a great <04766> spoil <07998> divided <02505>; the
lame <06455> take <0962> the prey <0957>.



24 And the inhabitant <07934> shall not say <0559>, I am sick
<02470>: the people <05971> that dwell <03427> therein [shall
be] forgiven <05375> [their] iniquity <05771>.



Isaiah 34



1. Come <07126> near <07126>, ye nations < 01471>, to hear
<08085>; and hearken <07181>, ye people <03816>: let the earth
<0776> hear <08085>, and all <04393> that is therein <04393>;
the world <08398>, and all <03605> things that come <06631>
forth <06631> of it.



2 For the indignation <07110> of the LORD <03068> [is] upon all
<03605> nations <01471>, and [his] fury <02534> upon all <03605>
their armies <06635>: he hath utterly destroyed < 02763> them, he
hath delivered <05414> them to the slaughter <02875>.



3 Their slain <02491> also shall be cast <07993> out, and their
stink <0889> shall come <05927> up out of their carcases <06297>,
and the mountains <02022> shall be melted <04549> with their
blood <01818>.



4 And all <03605> the host <06635> of heaven < 08064> shall be
dissolved <04743>, and the heavens <08064> shall be rolled
<01556> together as a scroll <05612>: and all < 03605> their host
<06635> shall fall <05034> down, as the leaf < 05929> falleth
<05034> off from the vine <01612>, and as a falling <05034> [fig
<08384>] from the fig <08384> tree.



5 For my sword <02719> shall be bathed <07301> in heaven
<08064>: behold <02009>, it shall come <03381> down <03381> upon
Idumea <0123>, and upon the people <05971> of my curse <02764>,
to judgment <04941>.



6 The sword <02719> of the LORD <03068> is filled <04390> with
blood <01818>, it is made fat <01878> with fatness <02459>,
[and] with the blood <01818> of lambs <03733> and goats <06260>,
with the fat <02459> of the kidneys <03629> of rams <0352>: for
the LORD <03068> hath a sacrifice <02077> in Bozrah <01224>, and
a great <01419> slaughter <02875> in the land < 0776> of Idumea
<0123>.



7 And the unicorns <07214> shall come <03381> down <03381> with
them, and the bullocks <06499> with the bulls <047>; and their
land <0776> shall be soaked <07301> with blood < 01818>, and
their dust <06083> made fat <01878> with fatness < 02459>.



8 For [it is] the day <03117> of the LORD'S <03068> vengeance
<05359>, [and] the year <08141> of recompences < 07966> for the
controversy <07379> of Zion <06726>.



9. And the streams <05158> thereof shall be turned < 02015> into
pitch <02203>, and the dust <06083> thereof into brimstone
<01614>, and the land <0776> thereof shall become < 01961>
burning <01197> pitch <02203>.



10 It shall not be quenched <03518> night <03915> nor day
<03119>; the smoke <06227> thereof shall go < 05927> up for ever
<05769>: from generation <01755> to generation < 01755> it shall
lie waste <02717>; none <0369> shall pass < 05674> through it for
ever <05331> and ever <05769>.



11 But the cormorant <06893> and the bittern <07090> shall
possess <03423> it; the owl <03244> also and the raven <06158>
shall dwell <07931> in it: and he shall stretch < 05186> out upon
it the line <06957> of confusion <05414>, and the stones <068>
of emptiness <0922>.



12 They shall call <07121> the nobles <02715> thereof to the
kingdom <04410>, but none <0369> [shall be] there < 08033>, and
all <03605> her princes <08269> shall be nothing < 0657>.



13 And thorns <05518> shall come <05927> up in her palaces
<0759>, nettles <07057> and brambles <02336> in the fortresses
<04013> thereof: and it shall be an habitation <05116> of
dragons <08577>, [and] a court <02691> for owls.



14 The wild <06728> beasts <06728> of the desert < 06728> shall
also meet <06298> with the wild <0338> beasts < 0338> of the
island <0338>, and the satyr <08163> shall cry < 07121> to his
fellow <07453>; the screech <03917> owl <03917> also <0389>
shall rest <07280> there <08033>, and find < 04672> for herself a
place of rest <04494>.



15 There <08033> shall the great <07091> owl < 07091> make her
nest <07077>, and lay <04422>, and hatch <01234> , and gather
<01716> under her shadow <06738>: there <08033> shall the
vultures <01772> also <0389> be gathered <06908> , every <0802>
one with her mate <07468>.



16 Seek <01875> ye out of the book <05612> of the LORD <03068>,
and read <07121>: no <03808> one <0259> of these <02007> shall
fail <05737>, none shall want <06485> her mate < 07468>: for my
mouth <06310> it hath commanded <06680>, and his spirit <07307>
it hath gathered <06908> them.



17 And he hath cast <05307> the lot <01486> for them, and his
hand <03027> hath divided <02505> it unto them by line <06957>:
they shall possess <03423> it for ever <05769>, from generation
<01755> to generation <01755> shall they dwell < 07931> therein.



Isaiah 35



1. The wilderness <04057> and the solitary <06723> place shall
be glad <07996> for them; and the desert <06160> shall rejoice
<01523>, and blossom <06524> as the rose <02261> .



2 It shall blossom <06524> abundantly <06524>, and rejoice
<01523> even <0637> with joy <01525> and singing <07442>: the
glory <03519> of Lebanon <03844> shall be given < 05414> unto it,
the excellency <01926> of Carmel <03760> and Sharon <08289>,
they shall see <07200> the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068>,
[and] the excellency <01926> of our God <0430>.



3 Strengthen <02388> ye the weak <07504> hands < 03027>, and
confirm <0553> the feeble <03782> knees <01290>.



4 Say <0559> to them [that are] of a fearful <04116> heart
<03820>, Be strong <02388>, fear <03372> not: behold <02009>,
your God <0430> will come <0935> [with] vengeance < 05359>,
[even] God <0430> [with] a recompence <01576>; he will come
<0935> and save <03467> you.



5. Then <0227> the eyes <05869> of the blind < 05787> shall be
opened <06491>, and the ears <0241> of the deaf < 02795> shall be
unstopped <06605>.



6 Then <0227> shall the lame <06455> [man] leap < 01801> as an
hart <0354>, and the tongue <03956> of the dumb < 0483> sing
<07442>: for in the wilderness <04057> shall waters <04325>
break <01234> out, and streams <05158> in the desert <06160>.



7 And the parched <08273> ground shall become <01961> a pool
<098>, and the thirsty <06774> land springs < 04002> of water
<04325>: in the habitation <05116> of dragons < 08577>, where
each lay <07258>, [shall be] grass <02682> with reeds <07070>
and rushes <01573>.



8 And an highway <04547> shall be there <08033>, and a way
<01870>, and it shall be called <07121> The way < 01870> of
holiness <06944>; the unclean <02931> shall not pass <05674>
over <05674> it; but it [shall be] for those: the wayfaring men
<0582>, though fools <0191>, shall not err < 08582> [therein].



9 No <03808> lion <0738> shall be there <08033> , nor <01077>
[any] ravenous <06530> beast <02416> shall go < 05927> up thereon,
it shall not be found <04672> there <08033>; but the redeemed
<01350> shall walk <01980> [there]:



10 And the ransomed <06299> of the LORD <03068> shall return
<07725>, and come <0935> to Zion <06726> with songs <07440> and
everlasting <05769> joy <08057> upon their heads < 07218>: they
shall obtain <05381> joy <08057> and gladness < 08057>, and
sorrow <03015> and sighing <0585> shall flee < 05127> away.



Isaiah 36



1. Now it came <01961> to pass in the fourteenth year < 08141>
of king <04428> Hezekiah <02396>, [that] Sennacherib <05576>
king <04428> of Assyria <0804> came <05927> up against <05921>
all <03605> the defenced <01219> cities <05892> of Judah <03063>,
and took <08610> them.



2 And the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> sent < 07971> Rabshakeh
<07262> from Lachish <03923> to Jerusalem < 03389> unto king
<04428> Hezekiah <02396> with a great <03515> army <02426>. And
he stood <05975> by the conduit <08585> of the upper <05945>
pool <01295> in the highway <04546> of the fuller's <03526>
field <07704>.



3 Then came <03318> forth <03318> unto him Eliakim <0471>,
Hilkiah's <02518> son <01121>, which <0834> was over <05921> the
house <01004>, and Shebna <07644> the scribe < 05608>, and Joah
<03098>, Asaph's <0623> son <01121>, the recorder <02142>.



4 And Rabshakeh <07262> said <0559> unto them, Say <0559> ye
now <04994> to Hezekiah <02396>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the
great <01419> king <04428>, the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>,
What confidence <0986> [is] this <02088> wherein < 0834> thou
trustest <0982>?



5 I say <0559>, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain <08193>
words <01697>) [I have] counsel <06098> and strength <01369> for
war <04421>: now <06258> on <05921> whom < 04310> dost thou trust
<0982>, that thou rebellest <04775> against me?



6 Lo <02009>, thou trustest <0982> in the staff < 04938> of this
<02088> broken <07533> reed <07070>, on < 05921> Egypt <04714>;
whereon if a man <0376> lean <05564>, it will go < 0935> into his
hand <03709>, and pierce <05344> it: so <03651> [is] Pharaoh
<06547> king <04428> of Egypt <04714> to all <03605> that trust
<0982> in him.



7 But if thou say <0559> to me, We trust <0982> in the LORD
<03068> our God <0430>: [is it] not he, whose high <01111>
places and whose altars <04196> Hezekiah <02396> hath taken
<05493> away <05493>, and said <0559> to Judah <03063> and to
Jerusalem <03389>, Ye shall worship <07812> before <06440> this
<02088> altar <04196>?



8 Now <06258> therefore give pledges <06148>, I pray <04994>
thee, to my master <0113> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>,
and I will give <05414> thee two thousand <0505> horses <05483>,
if <0518> thou be able <03201> on thy part to set < 05414> riders
<07392> upon them.



9 How <0349> then wilt thou turn <07725> away the face <06440>
of one <0259> captain <06346> of the least < 06996> of my
master's <0113> servants <05650>, and put thy trust <0982> on
<05921> Egypt <04714> for chariots <07393> and for horsemen
<06571>?



10 And am I now <06258> come <05927> up without < 01107> the
LORD <03068> against <05921> this <02063> land <0776> to destroy
<07843> it? the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto me, Go <05927> up
against <0413> this <02063> land <0776>, and destroy <07843> it.



11. Then said <0559> Eliakim <0471> and Shebna < 07644> and Joah
<03098> unto Rabshakeh <07262>, Speak <01696>, I pray <04994>
thee, unto thy servants <05650> in the Syrian <0762> language;
for we understand <08085> [it]: and speak <01696> not to us in
the Jews <03064>' language, in the ears <0241> of the people
<05971> that [are] on <05921> the wall <02346>.



12 But Rabshakeh <07262> said <0559>, Hath my master <0113>
sent <07971> me to thy master <0113> and to thee to speak
<01696> these <0428> words <01697>? [hath he] not [sent me] to
the men <0582> that sit <03427> upon the wall < 02346>, that they
may eat <0398> their own dung, and drink <08354> their own piss
<07890> with you?



13 Then Rabshakeh <07262> stood <05975>, and cried <07121> with
a loud <01419> voice <06963> in the Jews <03064> ' language, and
said <0559>, Hear <08085> ye the words <01697> of the great
<01419> king <04428>, the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>.



14 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the king <04428>, Let not Hezekiah
<02396> deceive <05377> you: for he shall not be able <03201> to
deliver <05337> you.



15 Neither <0408> let Hezekiah <02396> make you trust <0982> in
the LORD <03068>, saying <0559>, The LORD < 03068> will surely
deliver <05337> us: this <02063> city <05892> shall not be
delivered <05414> into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of
Assyria <0804>.



16 Hearken <08085> not to Hezekiah <02396>: for thus <03541>
saith <0559> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, Make <06213>
[an agreement] with me [by] a present <01293>, and come < 03318>
out to me: and eat <0398> ye every <0376> one < 0376> of his vine
<01612>, and every <0376> one <0376> of his fig <08384> tree,
and drink <08354> ye every <0376> one <0376> the waters <04325>
of his own cistern <0953>;



17 Until <05704> I come <0935> and take <03947> you away to a
land <0776> like your own land <0776>, a land < 0776> of corn
<01715> and wine <08492>, a land <0776> of bread <03899> and
vineyards <03754>.



18 [Beware] lest <06435> Hezekiah <02396> persuade <05496> you,
saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> will deliver < 05337> us. Hath
any <0376> of the gods <0430> of the nations < 01471> delivered
<05337> his land <0776> out of the hand <03027> of the king
<04428> of Assyria <0804>?



19 Where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Hamath < 02574> and
Arphad <0774>? where <0346> [are] the gods < 0430> of Sepharvaim
<05617>? and have they delivered <05337> Samaria < 08111> out of
my hand <03027>?



20 Who <04310> [are they] among all <03605> the gods <0430> of
these <0428> lands <0776>, that have delivered < 05337> their
land <0776> out of my hand <03027>, that the LORD < 03068> should
deliver <05337> Jerusalem <03389> out of my hand < 03027>?



21 But they held <02790> their peace <02790>, and answered
<06030> him not a word <01697>: for the king's < 04428>
commandment <04687> was, saying <0559>, Answer < 06030> him not.



22 Then came <0935> Eliakim <0471>, the son < 01121> of Hilkiah
<02518>, that [was] over <05921> the household < 01004>, and
Shebna <07644> the scribe <05608>, and Joah < 03098>, the son
<01121> of Asaph <0623>, the recorder <02142>, to Hezekiah
<02396> with [their] clothes <0899> rent <07167> , and told
<05046> him the words <01697> of Rabshakeh < 07262>.



Isaiah 37



1. And it came <01961> to pass, when king <04428> Hezekiah
<02396> heard <08085> [it], that he rent <07167> his clothes
<0899>, and covered <03680> himself with sackcloth <08242>, and
went <0935> into the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068>.



2 And he sent <07971> Eliakim <0471>, who < 0834> [was] over
<05921> the household <01004>, and Shebna < 07644> the scribe
<05608>, and the elders <02205> of the priests < 03548> covered
<03680> with sackcloth <08242>, unto Isaiah < 03470> the prophet
<05030> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>.



3 And they said <0559> unto him, Thus <03541> saith <0559>
Hezekiah <02396>, This <02088> day <03117> [is] a day <03117> of
trouble <06869>, and of rebuke <08433>, and of blasphemy <05007>:
for the children <01121> are come <0935> to the birth <04866>,
and [there is] not strength <03581> to bring <03205> forth
<03205>.



4 It may be the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> will hear <08085>
the words <01697> of Rabshakeh <07262>, whom < 0834> the king
<04428> of Assyria <0804> his master <0113> hath sent <07971> to
reproach <02778> the living <02416> God <0430>, and will reprove
<03198> the words <01697> which <0834> the LORD <03068> thy God
<0430> hath heard <08085>: wherefore lift < 05375> up [thy]
prayer <08605> for the remnant <07611> that is left <04672>.



5 So the servants <05650> of king <04428> Hezekiah <02396> came
<0935> to Isaiah <03470>.



6 And Isaiah <03470> said <0559> unto them, Thus < 03541> shall
ye say <0559> unto your master <0113>, Thus < 03541> saith <0559>
the LORD <03068>, Be not afraid <03372> of the words <01697>
that thou hast heard <08085>, wherewith <0834> the servants
<05288> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> have blasphemed
<01442> me.



7 Behold <02005>, I will send <07971> a blast < 07307> upon him,
and he shall hear <08085> a rumour <08052>, and return <07725>
to his own land <0776>; and I will cause him to fall < 05307> by
the sword <02719> in his own land <0776>.



8. So Rabshakeh <07262> returned <07725>, and found <04672> the
king <04428> of Assyria <0804> warring <03898> against <05921>
Libnah <03841>: for he had heard <08085> that he was departed
<05265> from Lachish <03923>.



9 And he heard <08085> say <0559> concerning < 05921> Tirhakah
<08640> king <04428> of Ethiopia <03568>, He is come <03318>
forth <03318> to make war <03898> with thee. And when he heard
<08085> [it], he sent <07971> messengers <04397> to Hezekiah
<02396>, saying <0559>,



10 Thus <03541> shall ye speak <0559> to Hezekiah <02396> king
<04428> of Judah <03063>, saying <0559>, Let not thy God <0430>,
in whom <0834> thou trustest <0982>, deceive < 05377> thee,
saying <0559>, Jerusalem <03389> shall not be given <05414> into
the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Assyria < 0804>.



11 Behold <02009>, thou hast heard <08085> what < 0834> the
kings <04428> of Assyria <0804> have done < 06213> to all <03605>
lands <0776> by destroying <02763> them utterly; and shalt thou
be delivered <05337>?



12 Have the gods <0430> of the nations <01471> delivered
<05337> them which <0834> my fathers <01> have destroyed <07843>,
[as] Gozan <01470>, and Haran <02771>, and Rezeph <07530>, and
the children <01121> of Eden <05731> which < 0834> [were] in
Telassar <08515>?



13 Where <0346> [is] the king <04428> of Hamath < 02574>, and
the king <04428> of Arphad <0774>, and the king < 04428> of the
city <05892> of Sepharvaim <05617>, Hena <02012> , and Ivah
<05755>?



14 And Hezekiah <02396> received <03947> the letter <05612>
from the hand <03027> of the messengers <04397>, and read
<07121> it: and Hezekiah <02396> went <05927> up unto the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>, and spread <06566> it before
<06440> the LORD <03068>.



15 And Hezekiah <02396> prayed <06419> unto the LORD <03068>,
saying <0559>,



16 O LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, God <0430> of Israel
<03478>, that dwellest <03427> [between] the cherubims <03742>,
thou [art] the God <0430>, [even] thou alone <0905>, of all
<03605> the kingdoms <04467> of the earth <0776> : thou hast made
<06213> heaven <08064> and earth <0776>.



17 Incline <05186> thine ear <0241>, O LORD < 03068>, and hear
<08085>; open <06491> thine eyes <05869>, O LORD <03068>, and
see <07200>: and hear <08085> all <03605> the words <01697> of
Sennacherib <05576>, which <0834> hath sent < 07971> to reproach
<02778> the living <02416> God <0430>.



18 Of a truth <0551>, LORD <03068>, the kings < 04428> of
Assyria <0804> have laid waste <02717> all < 03605> the nations
<0776>, and their countries <0776>,



19 And have cast <05414> their gods <0430> into the fire <0784>:
for they [were] no <03808> gods <0430>, but the work <04639> of
men's <0120> hands <03027>, wood <06086> and stone <068>:
therefore they have destroyed <06> them.



20 Now <06258> therefore, O LORD <03068> our God < 0430>, save
<03467> us from his hand <03027>, that all < 03605> the kingdoms
<04467> of the earth <0776> may know <03045> that thou [art] the
LORD <03068>, [even] thou only <0905>.



21. Then Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz < 0531> sent
<07971> unto Hezekiah <02396>, saying <0559>, Thus <03541> saith
<0559> the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Whereas
<0834> thou hast prayed <06419> to me against < 0413> Sennacherib
<05576> king <04428> of Assyria <0804>:



22 This <02088> [is] the word <01697> which < 0834> the LORD
<03068> hath spoken <01696> concerning <05921> him; The virgin
<01330>, the daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>, hath despised
<0959> thee, [and] laughed <03932> thee to scorn; the daughter
<01323> of Jerusalem <03389> hath shaken <05128> her head
<07218> at thee.



23 Whom hast thou reproached <02778> and blasphemed < 01442>?
and against <05921> whom <04310> hast thou exalted <07311> [thy]
voice <06963>, and lifted <05375> up thine eyes < 05869> on high
<04796>? [even] against <0413> the Holy <06918> One of Israel
<03478>.



24 By thy servants <05650> hast thou reproached < 02778> the
Lord <0136>, and hast said <0559>, By the multitude <07230> of
my chariots <07393> am I come <05927> up to the height <04791>
of the mountains <02022>, to the sides <03411> of Lebanon
<03844>; and I will cut <03772> down the tall < 06967> cedars
<0730> thereof, [and] the choice <04005> fir < 01265> trees
thereof: and I will enter <0935> into the height < 04791> of his
border <07093>, [and] the forest <03293> of his Carmel <03760>.



25 I have digged <05365>, and drunk <08354> water <04325>; and
with the sole <03709> of my feet <06471> have I dried <02717> up
all <03605> the rivers <02975> of the besieged < 04693> places.



26 Hast thou not heard <08085> long <05704> ago < 07350>, [how]
I have done <06213> it; [and] of ancient <06924> times <03117>,
that I have formed <03335> it? now <06258> have I brought <0935>
it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste <07582> defenced
<01219> cities <05892> [into] ruinous <05327> heaps <01530>.



27 Therefore their inhabitants <03427> [were] of small < 07116>
power <03027>, they were dismayed <02865> and confounded <0954>:
they were [as] the grass <06212> of the field <07704>, and [as]
the green <03419> herb <01877>, [as] the grass < 02682> on the
housetops <01406>, and [as corn] blasted <07709> before <06440>
it be grown <06965> up.



28 But I know <03045> thy abode <03427>, and thy going <03318>
out, and thy coming <0935> in, and thy rage <07264> against
<0413> me.



29 Because <03282> thy rage <07264> against < 0413> me, and thy
tumult <07600>, is come <05927> up into mine ears < 0241>,
therefore will I put <07760> my hook <02397> in thy nose <0639>,
and my bridle <04964> in thy lips <08193>, and I will turn
<07725> thee back <07725> by the way <01870> by which <0834>
thou camest <0935>.



30 And this <02088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee, Ye
shall eat <0398> [this] year <08141> such as groweth <05599> of
itself; and the second <08145> year <08141> that which springeth
<07823> of the same: and in the third <07992> year <08141> sow
<02232> ye, and reap <07114>, and plant <05193> vineyards
<03754>, and eat <0398> the fruit <06529> thereof.



31 And the remnant <07604> that is escaped <06413> of the house
<01004> of Judah <03063> shall again take root < 08328> downward
<04295>, and bear <06213> fruit <06529> upward <04605>:



32 For out of Jerusalem <03389> shall go <03318> forth <03318>
a remnant <07611>, and they that escape <06413> out of mount
<02022> Zion <06726>: the zeal <07068> of the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635> shall do <06213> this <02063>.



33 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>
concerning <0413> the king <04428> of Assyria < 0804>, He shall
not come <0935> into <0413> this <02063> city <05892>, nor
<03808> shoot an arrow <02671> there <08033>, nor <03808> come
<06923> before <06924> it with shields <04043>, nor <03808> cast
<08210> a bank <05550> against <05921> it.



34 By the way <01870> that he came <0935>, by the same shall he
return <07725>, and shall not come <0935> into < 0413> this
<02063> city <05892>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.



35 For I will defend <01598> this <02063> city < 05892> to save
<03467> it for mine own sake, and for my servant < 05650> David's
<01732> sake <04616>.



36 Then the angel <04397> of the LORD <03068> went <03318>
forth <03318>, and smote <05221> in the camp < 04264> of the
Assyrians <0804> a hundred <03967> and fourscore < 08084> and
five <02568> thousand <0505>: and when they arose < 02224> early
<07925> in the morning <01242>, behold <02009>, they [were] all
<03605> dead <04191> corpses <06297>.



37 So Sennacherib <05576> king <04428> of Assyria <0804>
departed <05265>, and went <03212> and returned < 07725>, and
dwelt <03427> at Nineveh <05210>.



38 And it came <01961> to pass, as he was worshipping < 07812>
in the house <01004> of Nisroch <05268> his god < 0430>, that
Adrammelech <0152> and Sharezer <08272> his sons < 01121> smote
<05221> him with the sword <02719>; and they escaped <04422>
into the land <0776> of Armenia <0780>: and Esarhaddon <0634>
his son <01121> reigned <04427> in his stead < 08478>.



Isaiah 38



1. In those <01992> days <03117> was Hezekiah < 02396> sick
<02470> unto death <04191>. And Isaiah <03470> the prophet
<05030> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531> came < 0935> unto him, and
said <0559> unto him, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>,
Set thine house <01004> in order <06680>: for thou shalt die
<04191>, and not live <02421>.



2 Then Hezekiah <02396> turned <05437> his face < 06440> toward
<0413> the wall <07023>, and prayed <06419> unto the LORD
<03068>,



3 And said <0559>, Remember <02142> now <04994> , O LORD <03068>,
I beseech <0577> thee, how <0834> I have walked < 01980> before
<06440> thee in truth <0571> and with a perfect < 08003> heart
<03820>, and have done <06213> [that which is] good <02896> in
thy sight <05869>. And Hezekiah <02396> wept < 01058> sore
<01419>.



4 Then came <01961> the word <01697> of the LORD < 03068> to
Isaiah <03470>, saying <0559>,



5 Go <01980>, and say <0559> to Hezekiah < 02396>, Thus <03541>
saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of David <01732>
thy father <01>, I have heard <08085> thy prayer < 08605>, I have
seen <07200> thy tears <01832>: behold <02005>, I will add
<03254> unto thy days <03117> fifteen <06240> years <08141>.



6 And I will deliver <05337> thee and this <02063> city <05892>
out of the hand <03709> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>:
and I will defend <01598> this <02063> city < 05892>.



7 And this <02088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee from the
LORD <03068>, that the LORD <03068> will do < 06213> this <02088>
thing <01697> that he hath spoken <01696>;



8 Behold <02005>, I will bring <07725> again < 07725> the shadow
<06738> of the degrees <04609>, which <0834> is gone <03381>
down in the sun <08121> dial <04609> of Ahaz < 0271>, ten <06235>
degrees <04609> backward <0322>. So the sun < 08121> returned
<07725> ten <06235> degrees <04609>, by which degrees <04609> it
was gone <03381> down.



9. The writing <04385> of Hezekiah <02396> king < 04428> of
Judah <03063>, when he had been sick <02470>, and was recovered
<02421> of his sickness <02483>:



10 I said <0559> in the cutting <01824> off of my days <03117>,
I shall go <03212> to the gates <08179> of the grave <07585>: I
am deprived <06485> of the residue <03499> of my years <08141>.



11 I said <0559>, I shall not see <07200> the LORD <03050>,
[even] the LORD <03050>, in the land <0776> of the living
<02416>: I shall behold <07200> man <0120> no <03808> more with
the inhabitants <03427> of the world <02309>.



12 Mine age <01755> is departed <05265>, and is removed <01556>
from me as a shepherd's <07473> tent <0168>: I have cut <07088>
off like a weaver <0707> my life <02416>: he will cut <01214> me
off with pining <01803> sickness: from day <03117> [even] to
night <03915> wilt thou make an end <07999> of me.



13 I reckoned <07737> till <05704> morning < 01242>, [that], as
a lion <0738>, so <03651> will he break <07665> all <03605> my
bones <06106>: from day <03117> [even] to night < 03915> wilt
thou make an end <07999> of me.



14 Like a crane <05483> [or] a swallow <05693>, so <03651> did
I chatter <06850>: I did mourn <01897> as a dove < 03123>: mine
eyes <05869> fail <01809> [with looking] upward < 04791>: O LORD
<03068>, I am oppressed <06234>; undertake < 06148> for me.



15 What <04100> shall I say <01696>? he hath both spoken <0559>
unto me, and himself <01931> hath done <06213> [it]: I shall go
<01718> softly all <03605> my years <08141> in the bitterness
<04751> of my soul <05315>.



16 O Lord <0136>, by these <05921> [things men] live <02421>,
and in all <03605> these [things is] the life <02416> of my
spirit <07307>: so wilt thou recover <02492> me, and make me to
live <02421>.



17 Behold <02009>, for peace <07965> I had great bitterness
<04843>: but thou hast in love <02836> to my soul < 05315>
[delivered it] from the pit <07845> of corruption < 01097>: for
thou hast cast <07993> all <03605> my sins < 02399> behind <0310>
thy back <01458>.



18 For the grave <07585> cannot <03808> praise < 03034> thee,
death <04194> can <03201> [not] celebrate < 01984> thee: they
that go <03381> down <03381> into the pit <0953> cannot <03808>
hope <07663> for thy truth <0571>.



19 The living <02416>, the living <02416>, he shall praise
<03034> thee, as I [do] this day <03117>: the father <01> to the
children <01121> shall make known <03045> thy truth <0571>.



20 The LORD <03068> [was ready] to save <03467> me: therefore
we will sing my songs <05058> to the stringed <05058>
instruments all <03605> the days <03117> of our life <02416> in
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.



21 For Isaiah <03470> had said <0559>, Let them take <05375> a
lump <01690> of figs <08384>, and lay [it] for a plaister
<04799> upon the boil <07822>, and he shall recover <02421>.



22 Hezekiah <02396> also had said <0559>, What < 04100> [is] the
sign <0226> that I shall go <05927> up to the house <01004> of
the LORD <03068>?



Isaiah 39



1. At that time <06256> Merodachbaladan <04757>, the son
<01121> of Baladan <01081>, king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, sent
<07971> letters <05612> and a present <04503> to Hezekiah
<02396>: for he had heard <08085> that he had been sick <02470>,
and was recovered <02388>.



2 And Hezekiah <02396> was glad <08056> of them, and shewed
<07200> them the house <01004> of his precious < 05238> things,
the silver <03701>, and the gold <02091>, and the spices <01314>,
and the precious <02896> ointment <08081>, and all <03605> the
house <01004> of his armour <03627>, and all < 03605> that was
found <04672> in his treasures <0214>: there was nothing in his
house <01004>, nor in all <03605> his dominion < 04475>, that
Hezekiah <02396> shewed <07200> them not.



3 Then came <0935> Isaiah <03470> the prophet < 05030> unto king
<04428> Hezekiah <02396>, and said <0559> unto him, What <04100>
said <0559> these <0428> men <0582>? and from whence <0370> came
<0935> they unto thee? And Hezekiah <02396> said < 0559>, They
are come <0935> from a far <07350> country < 0776> unto me,
[even] from Babylon <0894>.



4 Then said <0559> he, What <04100> have they seen <07200> in
thine house <01004>? And Hezekiah <02396> answered <0559>, All
<03605> that [is] in mine house <01004> have they seen <07200>:
there is nothing among my treasures <0214> that I have not
shewed <07200> them.



5. Then said <0559> Isaiah <03470> to Hezekiah < 02396>, Hear
<08085> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>:



6 Behold <02009>, the days <03117> come <0935>, that all
<03605> that [is] in thine house <01004>, and [that] which
<0834> thy fathers <01> have laid up in store < 0686> until
<05704> this <02088> day <03117>, shall be carried <05375> to
Babylon <0894>: nothing shall be left <03498>, saith <0559> the
LORD <03068>.



7 And of thy sons <01121> that shall issue <03318> from thee,
which <0834> thou shalt beget <03205>, shall they take <03947>
away; and they shall be eunuchs <05631> in the palace < 01964> of
the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>.



8 Then said <0559> Hezekiah <02396> to Isaiah < 03470>, Good
<01319> [is] the word <01697> of the LORD < 03068> which <0834>
thou hast spoken <01696>. He said <0559> moreover, For there
shall be peace <07965> and truth <0571> in my days <03117>.



Isaiah 40



1. Comfort <05162> ye, comfort <05162> ye my people <05971>,
saith <0559> your God <0430>.



2 Speak <01696> ye comfortably to Jerusalem <03389>, and cry
<07121> unto her, that her warfare <06635> is accomplished
<04390>, that her iniquity <05771> is pardoned < 07521>: for she
hath received <03947> of the LORD'S <03068> hand < 03027> double
<03718> for all <03605> her sins <02403>.



3. The voice <06963> of him that crieth <07121> in the
wilderness <04057>, Prepare <06437> ye the way < 01870> of the
LORD <03068>, make straight <03474> in the desert < 06160> a
highway <04546> for our God <0430>.



4 Every <03605> valley <01516> shall be exalted < 05375>, and
every <03605> mountain <02022> and hill <01389> shall be made
low <08213>: and the crooked <06121> shall be made straight
<04334>, and the rough <07406> places plain < 01237>:



5 And the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> shall be revealed
<01540>, and all <03605> flesh <01320> shall see <07200> [it]
together <03162>: for the mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068> hath
spoken <01696> [it].



6 The voice <06963> said <0559>, Cry <07121>. And he said
<0559>, What <04100> shall I cry <07121>? All <03605> flesh
<01320> [is] grass <02682>, and all <03605> the goodliness
<02617> thereof [is] as the flower <06731> of the field <07704>:



7 The grass <02682> withereth <03001>, the flower <06731>
fadeth <05034>: because <03588> the spirit < 07307> of the LORD
<03068> bloweth <05380> upon it: surely <0406> the people
<05971> [is] grass <02682>.



8 The grass <02682> withereth <03001>, the flower <06731>
fadeth <05034>: but the word <01697> of our God < 0430> shall
stand <06965> for ever <05769>.



9. O Zion <06726>, that bringest <01319> good < 01319> tidings
<01319>, get <05927> thee up into <05921> the high <01364>
mountain <02022>; O Jerusalem <03389>, that bringest <01319>
good tidings <01319>, lift <07311> up thy voice < 06963> with
strength <03581>; lift <07311> [it] up, be not afraid <03372>;
say <0559> unto the cities <05892> of Judah < 03063>, Behold
<02009> your God <0430>!



10 Behold <02009>, the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will come <0935>
with strong <02389> [hand], and his arm <02220> shall rule
<04910> for him: behold <02009>, his reward < 07939> [is] with
him, and his work <06468> before <06440> him.



11 He shall feed <07462> his flock <05739> like a shepherd
<07462>: he shall gather <06908> the lambs < 02922> with his arm
<02220>, and carry <05375> [them] in his bosom < 02436>, [and]
shall gently lead <05095> those that are with young < 05763>.



12. Who <04310> hath measured <04058> the waters < 04325> in the
hollow <08168> of his hand, and meted <08505> out heaven <08064>
with the span <02239>, and comprehended <03557> the dust <06083>
of the earth <0776> in a measure <07991>, and weighed <08254>
the mountains <02022> in scales <06425>, and the hills <01389>
in a balance <03976>?



13 Who <04310> hath directed <08505> the Spirit < 07307> of the
LORD <03068>, or [being] his counsellor <06098> hath taught
<03045> him?



14 With whom <04310> took he counsel <03289>, and [who]
instructed <0995> him, and taught <03925> him in the path <0734>
of judgment <04941>, and taught <03925> him knowledge <01847>,
and shewed <03045> to him the way <01870> of understanding
<08394>?



15 Behold <02005>, the nations <01471> [are] as a drop <04752>
of a bucket <01805>, and are counted <02803> as the small dust
<07834> of the balance <03976>: behold <02005>, he taketh
<05190> up the isles <0339> as a very <01851> little <01851>
thing.



16 And Lebanon <03844> [is] not sufficient <01767> to burn
<01197>, nor <0369> the beasts <02416> thereof sufficient
<01767> for a burnt <05930> offering.



17 All <03605> nations <01471> before <06440> him [are] as
nothing <0369>; and they are counted <02803> to him less <0657>
than nothing, and vanity <08414>.



18. To whom <04310> then will ye liken <01819> God <0410>? or
what <04100> likeness <01823> will ye compare < 06186> unto him?



19 The workman <02796> melteth <05258> a graven < 06459> image,
and the goldsmith <06884> spreadeth <07554> it over with gold
<02091>, and casteth <06884> silver <03701> chains <07569>.



20 He that [is] so impoverished <05533> that he hath no <03808>
oblation <08641> chooseth <0977> a tree <06086> [that] will not
rot <07537>; he seeketh <01245> unto him a cunning <02450>
workman <02796> to prepare <03559> a graven < 06459> image,
[that] shall not be moved <04131>.



21 Have ye not known <03045>? have ye not heard < 08085>? hath
it not been told <05046> you from the beginning < 07218>? have ye
not understood <0995> from the foundations <04146> of the earth
<0776>?



22 [It is] he that sitteth <03427> upon the circle < 02329> of
the earth <0776>, and the inhabitants <03427> thereof [are] as
grasshoppers <02284>; that stretcheth <05186> out the heavens
<08064> as a curtain <01852>, and spreadeth < 04969> them out as
a tent <0168> to dwell <03427> in:



23 That bringeth <05414> the princes <07336> to nothing; he
maketh <06213> the judges <08199> of the earth < 0776> as vanity
<08414>.



24 Yea <0637>, they shall not be planted <05193>; yea <0637>,
they shall not be sown <02232>: yea <0637>, their stock <01503>
shall not take <03947> root <08327> in the earth < 0776>: and he
shall also <01571> blow <05398> upon them, and they shall wither
<03001>, and the whirlwind <05591> shall take < 05375> them away
as stubble <07179>.



25 To whom <04310> then will ye liken <01819> me, or shall I be
equal <07737>? saith <0559> the Holy <06918> One.



26 Lift <05375> up your eyes <05869> on high < 04791>, and
behold <07200> who <04310> hath created <01254> these <0428>
[things], that bringeth <03318> out their host <06635> by number
<04557>: he calleth <07121> them all <03605> by names <08034> by
the greatness <07230> of his might <0202>, for that [he is]
strong <0533> in power <03581>; not one <0376> faileth <05737>.



27. Why <04100> sayest <0559> thou, O Jacob < 03290>, and
speakest <01696>, O Israel <03478>, My way < 01870> is hid
<05641> from the LORD <03068>, and my judgment < 04941> is passed
<05674> over <05674> from my God <0430>?



28 Hast thou not known <03045>? hast thou not heard < 08085>,
[that] the everlasting <05769> God <0430>, the LORD <03068>, the
Creator <01254> of the ends <07098> of the earth < 0776>,
fainteth <03286> not, neither <03808> is weary < 03021>? [there
is] no <0369> searching <02714> of his understanding <08394>.



29 He giveth <05414> power <03581> to the faint < 03287>; and to
[them that have] no <0369> might <0202> he increaseth <07235>
strength <06109>.



30 Even the youths <05288> shall faint <03286> and be weary
<03021>, and the young men shall utterly fall <03782>:



31 But they that wait <06960> upon the LORD <03068> shall renew
<02498> [their] strength <03581>; they shall mount <05927> up
with wings <083> as eagles <05404>; they shall run <07323>, and
not be weary <03021>; [and] they shall walk <03212>, and not
faint <03286>.



Isaiah 41



1. Keep silence <02790> before <0413> me, O islands <0339>; and
let the people <03816> renew <02498> [their] strength <03581>:
let them come <05066> near <05066>; then <0227> let them speak
<01696>: let us come <07126> near <07126> together <03162> to
judgment <04941>.



2 Who <04310> raised <05782> up the righteous < 06664> [man]
from the east <04217>, called <07121> him to his foot <07272>,
gave <05414> the nations <01471> before <06440> him, and made
[him] rule <07287> over kings <04428>? he gave < 05414> [them] as
the dust <06083> to his sword <02719>, [and] as driven <05086>
stubble <07179> to his bow <07198>.



3 He pursued <07291> them, [and] passed <05674> safely <07965>;
[even] by the way <0734> [that] he had not gone <0935> with his
feet <07272>.



4 Who <04310> hath wrought <06466> and done < 06213> [it],
calling <07121> the generations <01755> from the beginning
<07218>? I the LORD <03068>, the first <07223>, and with the
last <0314>; I [am] he.



5 The isles <0339> saw <07200> [it], and feared < 03372>; the
ends <07098> of the earth <0776> were afraid < 02729>, drew near
<07126>, and came <0857>.



6 They helped <05826> every <0376> one <0376> his neighbour
<07453>; and [every <0376> one <0376>] said < 0559> to his
brother <0251>, Be of good <01390> courage < 02388>.



7 So the carpenter <02796> encouraged <02388> the goldsmith
<06884>, [and] he that smootheth <02505> [with] the hammer
<06360> him that smote <01986> the anvil <06471> , saying <0559>,
It [is] ready <02896> for the sodering <01694>: and he fastened
<02388> it with nails <04548>, [that] it should not be moved
<04131>.



8 But thou, Israel <03478>, [art] my servant <05650>, Jacob
<03290> whom <0834> I have chosen <0977>, the seed <02233> of
Abraham <085> my friend <0157>.



9 [Thou] whom <0834> I have taken <02388> from the ends <07098>
of the earth <0776>, and called <07121> thee from the chief
<0678> men thereof, and said <0559> unto thee, Thou [art] my
servant <05650>; I have chosen <0977> thee, and not cast <03988>
thee away.



10. Fear <03372> thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not
dismayed <08159>; for I [am] thy God <0430>: I will strengthen
<0553> thee; yea <0637>, I will help <05826> thee; yea <0637>, I
will uphold <08551> thee with the right <03225> hand <03225> of
my righteousness <06664>.



11 Behold <02005>, all <03605> they that were incensed <02734>
against thee shall be ashamed <0954> and confounded < 03637>:
they shall be as nothing <0369>; and they that strive < 07379>
with thee shall perish <06>.



12 Thou shalt seek <01245> them, and shalt not find < 04672>
them, [even] them that contended <04695> with thee: they that
war <04421> against thee shall be as nothing <0369>, and as a
thing of nought <0657>.



13 For I the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> will hold <02388> thy
right <03225> hand <03225>, saying <0559> unto thee, Fear
<03372> not; I will help <05826> thee.



14 Fear <03372> not, thou worm <08438> Jacob < 03290>, [and] ye
men <04962> of Israel <03478>; I will help < 05826> thee, saith
<05002> the LORD <03068>, and thy redeemer < 01350>, the Holy
<06918> One of Israel <03478>.



15 Behold <02009>, I will make <07760> thee a new <02319> sharp
<02742> threshing <04173> instrument having < 01167> teeth
<06374>: thou shalt thresh <01758> the mountains < 02022>, and
beat <01854> [them] small <01854>, and shalt make < 07760> the
hills <01389> as chaff <04671>.



16 Thou shalt fan <02219> them, and the wind <07307> shall
carry <05375> them away, and the whirlwind <05591> shall scatter
<06327> them: and thou shalt rejoice <01523> in the LORD <03068>,
[and] shalt glory <01984> in the Holy <06918> One of Israel
<03478>.



17 [When] the poor <06041> and needy <034> seek < 01245> water
<04325>, and [there is] none <0369>, [and] their tongue <03956>
faileth <05405> for thirst <06772>, I the LORD < 03068> will hear
<06030> them, I the God <0430> of Israel <03478> will not
forsake <05800> them.



18 I will open <06605> rivers <05103> in high < 08203> places,
and fountains <04599> in the midst <08432> of the valleys
<01237>: I will make <07760> the wilderness < 04057> a pool <098>
of water <04325>, and the dry <06723> land < 0776> springs
<04161> of water <04325>.



19 I will plant <05414> in the wilderness <04057> the cedar
<0730>, the shittah <07848> tree <06086>, and the myrtle <01918>,
and the oil <08081> tree <06086>; I will set < 07760> in the
desert <06160> the fir <01265> tree, [and] the pine <08410>, and
the box <08391> tree together <03162>:



20 That they may see <07200>, and know <03045>, and consider
<07760>, and understand <07919> together <03162> , that the hand
<03027> of the LORD <03068> hath done <06213> this <02063>, and
the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478> hath created <01254> it.



21. Produce <07126> your cause <07379>, saith < 0559> the LORD
<03068>; bring <05066> forth <05066> your strong <06110>
[reasons], saith <0559> the King <04428> of Jacob < 03290>.



22 Let them bring <05066> [them] forth <05066>, and shew
<05046> us what shall happen <07136>: let them shew <05046> the
former <07223> things, what <04100> they [be], that we may
consider them, and know <03045> the latter <0319> end of them;
or declare <08085> us things for to come <0935>.



23 Shew <05046> the things that are to come <0857> hereafter
<0268>, that we may know <03045> that ye [are] gods <0430>: yea
<0637>, do good <01319>, or do evil <07489>, that we may be
dismayed <08159>, and behold <07200> [it] together <03162>.



24 Behold <02005>, ye [are] of nothing <0369>, and your work
<06467> of nought <0659>: an abomination <08441> [is he that]
chooseth <0977> you.



25 I have raised <05782> up [one] from the north < 06828>, and
he shall come <0857>: from the rising <04217> of the sun <08121>
shall he call <07121> upon my name <08034>: and he shall come
<0935> upon princes <05461> as [upon] morter < 02563>, and as the
potter <03335> treadeth <07429> clay <02916>.



26 Who <04310> hath declared <05046> from the beginning <07218>,
that we may know <03045>? and beforetime <06440>, that we may
say <0559>, [He is] righteous <06662>? yea < 0637>, [there is]
none <0369> that sheweth <05046>, yea <0637>, [there is] none
<0369> that declareth <05046>, yea <0637>, [there is] none
<0369> that heareth <08085> your words <0561>.



27 The first <07223> [shall say] to Zion <06726>, Behold
<02009>, behold <02009> them: and I will give < 05414> to
Jerusalem <03389> one that bringeth <01319> good < 01319> tidings
<01319>.



28 For I beheld <07200>, and [there was] no <0369> man <0376>;
even among them, and [there was] no <0369> counsellor < 03289>,
that, when I asked <07592> of them, could answer < 07725> a word
<01697>.



29 Behold <02005>, they [are] all <03605> vanity < 0205>; their
works <04639> [are] nothing <0657>: their molten < 05262> images
[are] wind <07307> and confusion <05414>.



Isaiah 42



1. Behold <02005> my servant <05650>, whom I uphold <08551>;
mine elect <0972>, [in whom] my soul <05315> delighteth <07521>;
I have put <05414> my spirit <07307> upon him: he shall bring
<03318> forth <03318> judgment <04941> to the Gentiles <01471>.



2 He shall not cry <06817>, nor <03808> lift < 05375> up, nor
<03808> cause his voice <06963> to be heard < 08085> in the
street <02351>.



3 A bruised <07533> reed <07070> shall he not break <07665>,
and the smoking <03544> flax <06594> shall he not quench <03518>:
he shall bring <03318> forth <03318> judgment < 04941> unto
truth <0571>.



4 He shall not fail <03543> nor <03808> be discouraged <07533>,
till <05704> he have set <07760> judgment < 04941> in the earth
<0776>: and the isles <0339> shall wait <03176> for his law
<08451>.



5. Thus <03541> saith <0559> God <0410> the LORD <03068>, he
that created <01254> the heavens <08064>, and stretched <05186>
them out; he that spread <07554> forth the earth < 0776>, and
that which cometh <06631> out of it; he that giveth < 05414>
breath <05397> unto the people <05971> upon it, and spirit
<07307> to them that walk <01980> therein:



6 I the LORD <03068> have called <07121> thee in righteousness
<06664>, and will hold <02388> thine hand < 03027>, and will keep
<05341> thee, and give <05414> thee for a covenant <01285> of
the people <05971>, for a light <0216> of the Gentiles <01471>;



7 To open <06491> the blind <05787> eyes < 05869>, to bring
<03318> out the prisoners <0616> from the prison < 04525>, [and]
them that sit <03427> in darkness <02822> out of the prison
<03608> house <01004>.



8 I [am] the LORD <03068>: that [is] my name <08034>: and my
glory <03519> will I not give <05414> to another < 0312>, neither
my praise <08416> to graven <06456> images.



9 Behold <02009>, the former <07223> things are come <0935> to
pass, and new <02319> things do I declare <05046>: before
<02962> they spring <06779> forth I tell <08085> you of them.



10 Sing <07891> unto the LORD <03068> a new < 02319> song
<07892>, [and] his praise <08416> from the end < 07097> of the
earth <0776>, ye that go <03381> down <03381> to the sea <03220>,
and all <04393> that is therein <04393>; the isles <0339>, and
the inhabitants <03427> thereof.



11 Let the wilderness <04057> and the cities <05892> thereof
lift <05375> up [their voice], the villages <02691> [that] Kedar
<06938> doth inhabit <03427>: let the inhabitants < 03427> of the
rock <05553> sing <07442>, let them shout < 06681> from the top
<07218> of the mountains <02022>.



12 Let them give <07760> glory <03519> unto the LORD <03068>,
and declare <05046> his praise <08416> in the islands <0339>.



13. The LORD <03068> shall go <03318> forth < 03318> as a mighty
<01368> man <0376>, he shall stir <05782> up jealousy <07068>
like a man <0376> of war <04421>: he shall cry < 07321>, yea
<0637>, roar <06873>; he shall prevail <01396> against <05921>
his enemies <0341>.



14 I have long <05769> time holden <02814> my peace <07814>; I
have been <01961> still <02790>, [and] refrained < 0662> myself:
[now] will I cry <06463> like a travailing <03205> woman; I will
destroy <05395> and devour <07602> at <03162> once <03162>.



15 I will make <07760> waste <02717> mountains < 02022> and
hills <01389>, and dry <03001> up all <03605> their herbs
<06212>; and I will make <07760> the rivers < 05103> islands
<0339>, and I will dry <03001> up the pools < 098>.



16 And I will bring <03212> the blind <05787> by a way <01870>
[that] they knew <03045> not; I will lead <01869> them in paths
<05410> [that] they have not known <03045>: I will make <07760>
darkness <04285> light <0216> before <06440> them, and crooked
<04625> things straight <04334>. These <0428> things <01697>
will I do <06213> unto them, and not forsake <05800> them.



17 They shall be turned <05472> back <0268>, they shall be
greatly ashamed <0954>, that trust <0982> in graven <06459>
images, that say <0559> to the molten <04541> images, Ye [are]
our gods <0430>.



18. Hear <08085>, ye deaf <02795>; and look < 05027>, ye blind
<05787>, that ye may see <07200>.



19 Who <04310> [is] blind <05787>, but my servant <05650>? or
deaf <02795>, as my messenger <04397> [that] I sent <07971>? who
<04310> [is] blind <05787> as [he that is] perfect <07999>, and
blind <05787> as the LORD'S <03068> servant < 05650>?



20 Seeing <07200> many <07227> things, but thou observest
<08104> not; opening <06491> the ears <0241>, but he heareth
<08085> not.



21 The LORD <03068> is well <02654> pleased < 02654> for his
righteousness <06664>' sake <04616>; he will magnify <01431> the
law <08451>, and make [it] honourable <0142>.



22 But this <01931> [is] a people <05971> robbed < 0962> and
spoiled <08154>; [they are] all <03605> of them snared <06351>
in holes <02356>, and they are hid <02244> in prison <03608>
houses <01004>: they are for a prey <0957>, and none <0369>
delivereth <05337>; for a spoil <04933>, and none < 0369> saith
<0559>, Restore <07725>.



23 Who <04310> among you will give ear <0238> to this <02063>?
[who] will hearken <07181> and hear <08085> for the time <0268>
to come?



24 Who <04310> gave <05414> Jacob <03290> for a spoil <04882>,
and Israel <03478> to the robbers <0962>? did not the LORD
<03068>, he against whom <02098> we have sinned < 02398>? for
they would <014> not walk <01980> in his ways < 01870>, neither
<03808> were they obedient <08085> unto his law < 08451>.



25 Therefore he hath poured <08210> upon him the fury < 02534>
of his anger <0639>, and the strength <05807> of battle <04421>:
and it hath set <07760> him on fire <03857> round < 05439> about,
yet he knew <03045> not; and it burned <01197> him, yet he laid
<07760> [it] not to heart <03820>.



Isaiah 43



1. But now <06258> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>
that created <01254> thee, O Jacob <03290>, and he that formed
<03335> thee, O Israel <03478>, Fear <03372> not: for I have
redeemed <01350> thee, I have called <07121> [thee] by thy name
<08034>; thou [art] mine.



2 When <03588> thou passest <05674> through the waters <04325>,
I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers <05103>, they
shall not overflow <07857> thee: when <03588> thou walkest
<03212> through <01119> the fire <0784>, thou shalt not be
burned <03554>; neither <03808> shall the flame < 03852> kindle
<01197> upon thee.



3 For I [am] the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, the Holy <06918>
One of Israel <03478>, thy Saviour <03467>: I gave <05414> Egypt
<04714> [for] thy ransom <03724>, Ethiopia < 03568> and Seba
<05434> for thee.



4 Since thou wast precious <03365> in my sight < 05869>, thou
hast been honourable <03513>, and I have loved <0157> thee:
therefore will I give <05414> men <0120> for thee, and people
<03816> for thy life <05315>.



5 Fear <03372> not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring < 0935>
thy seed <02233> from the east <04217>, and gather <06908> thee
from the west <04628>;



6 I will say <0559> to the north <06828>, Give < 05414> up; and
to the south <08486>, Keep <03607> not back < 03607>: bring
<0935> my sons <01121> from far <07350>, and my daughters
<01121> from the ends <07097> of the earth < 0776>;



7 [Even] every <03605> one that is called <07121> by my name
<08034>: for I have created <01254> him for my glory <03519>, I
have formed <03335> him; yea <0637>, I have made < 06213> him.



8. Bring <03318> forth <03318> the blind < 05787> people <05971>
that have <03426> eyes <05869>, and the deaf < 02795> that have
ears <0241>.



9 Let all <03605> the nations <01471> be gathered <06908>
together <03162>, and let the people <03816> be assembled: who
<04310> among them can declare <05046> this < 02063>, and shew
<08085> us former <07223> things? let them bring < 05414> forth
their witnesses <05707>, that they may be justified < 06663>: or
let them hear <08085>, and say <0559>, [It is] truth <0571>.



10 Ye [are] my witnesses <05707>, saith <05002> the LORD
<03068>, and my servant <05650> whom <0834> I have chosen <0977>:
that ye may know <03045> and believe <0539> me, and understand
<0995> that I [am] he: before <06440> me there was no <03808>
God <0410> formed <03335>, neither <03808> shall there be after
<0310> me.



11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD <03068>; and beside < 01107> me
[there is] no <0369> saviour <03467>.



12 I have declared <05046>, and have saved <03467>, and I have
shewed <08085>, when [there was] no <0369> strange <02114> [god]
among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses <05707>, saith
<05002> the LORD <03068>, that I [am] God <0410> .



13 Yea <01571>, before the day <03117> [was] I [am] he; and
[there is] none <0369> that can deliver <05337> out of my hand
<03027>: I will work <06466>, and who <04310> shall let <07725>
it?



14. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, your redeemer
<01350>, the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>; For your sake
<04616> I have sent <07971> to Babylon <0894>, and have brought
<03381> down <03381> all <03605> their nobles <01281>, and the
Chaldeans <03778>, whose cry <07440> [is] in the ships <0591>.



15 I [am] the LORD <03068>, your Holy <06918> One, the creator
<01254> of Israel <03478>, your King <04428>.



16 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, which maketh
<05414> a way <01870> in the sea <03220>, and a path <05410> in
the mighty <05794> waters <04325>;



17 Which bringeth <03318> forth <04161> the chariot <07393> and
horse <05483>, the army <02428> and the power < 05808>; they
shall lie <07901> down <03381> together <03162>, they shall not
rise <06965>: they are extinct <01846>, they are quenched
<03518> as tow <06594>.



18 Remember <02142> ye not the former <07223> things, neither
<0408> consider <0995> the things of old <06931> .



19 Behold <02005>, I will do <06213> a new < 02319> thing; now
<06258> it shall spring <06779> forth <06779>; shall ye not know
<03045> it? I will even <0637> make <07760> a way <01870> in the
wilderness <04057>, [and] rivers <05103> in the desert <03452>.



20 The beast <02416> of the field <07704> shall honour <03513>
me, the dragons <08577> and the owls: because <03588> I give
<05414> waters <04325> in the wilderness <04057> , [and] rivers
<05103> in the desert <03452>, to give drink < 08248> to my
people <05971>, my chosen <0972>.



21 This <02098> people <05971> have I formed < 03335> for myself;
they shall shew <05608> forth my praise <08416>.



22. But thou hast not called <07121> upon me, O Jacob < 03290>;
but thou hast been weary <03021> of me, O Israel < 03478>.



23 Thou hast not brought <0935> me the small cattle < 07716> of
thy burnt <05930> offerings; neither <03808> hast thou honoured
<03513> me with thy sacrifices <02077>. I have not caused thee
to serve <05647> with an offering <04503>, nor < 03808> wearied
<03021> thee with incense <03828>.



24 Thou hast bought <07069> me no <03808> sweet cane <07070>
with money <03701>, neither <03808> hast thou filled <07301> me
with the fat <02459> of thy sacrifices <02077>: but thou hast
made me to serve <05647> with thy sins <02403>, thou hast
wearied <03021> me with thine iniquities <05771>.



25 I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth <04229> out thy
transgressions <06588> for mine own sake <04616>, and will not
remember <02142> thy sins <02403>.



26 Put me in remembrance <02142>: let us plead < 08199> together
<03162>: declare <05608> thou, that thou mayest be justified
<06663>.



27 Thy first <07223> father <01> hath sinned < 02398>, and thy
teachers <03887> have transgressed <06586> against me.



28 Therefore I have profaned <02490> the princes < 08269> of the
sanctuary <06944>, and have given <05414> Jacob < 03290> to the
curse <02764>, and Israel <03478> to reproaches < 01421>.



Isaiah 44



1. Yet now <06258> hear <08085>, O Jacob < 03290> my servant
<05650>; and Israel <03478>, whom I have chosen < 0977>:



2 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> that made <06213>
thee, and formed <03335> thee from the womb <0990>, [which] will
help <05826> thee; Fear <03372> not, O Jacob < 03290>, my servant
<05650>; and thou, Jesurun <03484>, whom I have chosen <0977>.



3 For I will pour <03332> water <04325> upon him that is
thirsty <06771>, and floods <05140> upon the dry < 03004> ground:
I will pour <03332> my spirit <07307> upon thy seed <02233>, and
my blessing <01293> upon thine offspring <06631>:



4 And they shall spring <06779> up [as] among <0996> the grass
<02682>, as willows <06155> by the water <04325> courses <02988>.



5 One shall say <0559>, I [am] the LORD'S <03068>; and another
<02088> shall call <07121> [himself] by the name < 08034> of
Jacob <03290>; and another <02088> shall subscribe <03789>
[with] his hand <03027> unto the LORD <03068>, and surname
<03655> [himself] by the name <08034> of Israel < 03478>.



6 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> the King <04428>
of Israel <03478>, and his redeemer <01350> the LORD <03068> of
hosts <06635>; I [am] the first <07223>, and I [am] the last
<0314>; and beside <01107> me [there is] no < 0369> God <0430>.



7 And who <04310>, as I, shall call <07121>, and shall declare
<05046> it, and set it in order <06186> for me, since I
appointed <07760> the ancient <05769> people < 05971>? and the
things that are coming <0857>, and shall come <0935>, let them
shew <05046> unto them.



8 Fear <06342> ye not, neither <0408> be afraid < 07297>: have
not I told <08085> thee from that time <0227>, and have declared
<05046> [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses <05707>. Is there a God
<0433> beside <01107> me? yea, [there is] no < 0369> God <06697>;
I know <03045> not [any].



9. They that make <03335> a graven <06459> image [are] all
<03605> of them vanity <08414>; and their delectable <02530>
things shall not profit <03276>; and they [are] their own
witnesses <05707>; they see <07200> not, nor < 01077> know
<03045>; that they may be ashamed <0954>.



10 Who <04310> hath formed <03335> a god <0410> , or molten
<05258> a graven <06459> image [that] is profitable <03276> for
nothing <01115>?



11 Behold <02005>, all <03605> his fellows < 02270> shall be
ashamed <0954>: and the workmen <02796>, they [are] of men
<0120>: let them all <03605> be gathered <06908> together, let
them stand <05975> up; [yet] they shall fear <06342>, [and] they
shall be ashamed <0954> together <03162>.



12 The smith with the tongs <04621> both worketh < 06466> in the
coals <06352>, and fashioneth <03335> it with hammers <04717>,
and worketh <06466> it with the strength <03581> of his arms
<02220>: yea <01571>, he is hungry <07456>, and his strength
<03581> faileth <0369>: he drinketh <08354> no <03808> water
<04325>, and is faint <03286>.



13 The carpenter <02796> stretcheth <05186> out [his] rule
<04910>; he marketh <08388> it out with a line < 08279>; he
fitteth <06213> it with planes <04741>, and he marketh <08388>
it out with the compass <04230>, and maketh <06213> it after the
figure <08403> of a man <0376>, according to the beauty <08597>
of a man <0120>; that it may remain <03427> in the house <01004>.



14 He heweth <03772> him down cedars <0730>, and taketh <03947>
the cypress <08645> and the oak <0437>, which he strengtheneth
<0553> for himself among the trees <06086> of the forest <03293>:
he planteth <05192> an ash <0766>, and the rain < 01653> doth
nourish <01431> [it].



15 Then shall it be for a man <0120> to burn <01197>: for he
will take <03947> thereof, and warm <02552> himself; yea <0637>,
he kindleth <05400> [it], and baketh <0644> bread < 03899>; yea
<0637>, he maketh <06466> a god <0410>, and worshippeth <07812>
[it]; he maketh <06213> it a graven <06459> image, and falleth
<05456> down <05456> thereto.



16 He burneth <08313> part <02677> thereof in the fire <0784>;
with part <02677> thereof he eateth <0398> flesh < 01320>; he
roasteth <0740> roast <06748>, and is satisfied < 07646>: yea
<0637>, he warmeth <02552> [himself], and saith < 0559>, Aha
<0253>, I am warm <02552>, I have seen <07200> the fire <0217>:



17 And the residue <07611> thereof he maketh <06213> a god
<0410>, [even] his graven <06459> image: he falleth <05456> down
<05456> unto it, and worshippeth <07812> [it], and prayeth
<06419> unto it, and saith <0559>, Deliver < 05337> me; for thou
[art] my god <0410>.



18 They have not known <03045> nor understood <0995>: for he
hath shut <02902> their eyes <05869>, that they cannot see
<07200>; [and] their hearts <03826>, that they cannot understand
<07919>.



19 And none <03808> considereth <07725> in his heart <03820>,
neither <03808> [is there] knowledge <01847> nor < 03808>
understanding <08394> to say <0559>, I have burned <08314> part
<02677> of it in the fire <0784>; yea <0637>, also <0637> I have
baked <0644> bread <03899> upon the coals < 01513> thereof; I
have roasted <06740> flesh <01320>, and eaten < 0398> [it]: and
shall I make <06213> the residue <03499> thereof an abomination
<08441>? shall I fall <05456> down <05456> to the stock <0944>
of a tree <06086>?



20 He feedeth <07462> on ashes <0665>: a deceived <02048> heart
<03820> hath turned <05186> him aside <05186>, that he cannot
<03808> deliver <05337> his soul <05315>, nor <03808> say <0559>,
[Is there] not a lie <03576> in my right <03225> hand <03225>?



21. Remember <02142> these <0428>, O Jacob < 03290> and Israel
<03478>; for thou [art] my servant <05650>: I have formed
<03335> thee; thou [art] my servant <05650>: O Israel <03478>,
thou shalt not be forgotten <05382> of me.



22 I have blotted <04229> out, as a thick cloud < 05645>, thy
transgressions <06588>, and, as a cloud <06051>, thy sins
<02403>: return <07725> unto me; for I have redeemed <01350>
thee.



23 Sing <07442>, O ye heavens <08064>; for the LORD <03068>
hath done <06213> [it]: shout <07321>, ye lower < 08482> parts of
the earth <0776>: break <06476> forth into singing <07440>, ye
mountains <02022>, O forest <03293>, and every < 03605> tree
<06086> therein: for the LORD <03068> hath redeemed <01350>
Jacob <03290>, and glorified <06286> himself in Israel <03478>.



24 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, thy redeemer
<01350>, and he that formed <03335> thee from the womb <0990>, I
[am] the LORD <03068> that maketh <06213> all < 03605> [things];
that stretcheth <05186> forth the heavens <08064> alone <0905>;
that spreadeth <07554> abroad <07554> the earth < 0776> by myself;



25 That frustrateth <06565> the tokens <0226> of the liars
<0907>, and maketh diviners <07080> mad <01984>; that turneth
<07725> wise <02450> [men] backward <0268>, and maketh their
knowledge <01847> foolish <05528>;



26 That confirmeth <06965> the word <01697> of his servant
<05650>, and performeth <07999> the counsel < 06098> of his
messengers <04397>; that saith <0559> to Jerusalem <03389>, Thou
shalt be inhabited <03427>; and to the cities <05892> of Judah
<03063>, Ye shall be built <01129>, and I will raise <06965> up
the decayed <02723> places thereof:



27 That saith <0559> to the deep <06683>, Be dry < 02717>, and I
will dry <03001> up thy rivers <05103>:



28 That saith <0559> of Cyrus <03566>, [He is] my shepherd
<07462>, and shall perform <07999> all <03605> my pleasure
<02656>: even saying <0559> to Jerusalem <03389> , Thou shalt be
built <01129>; and to the temple <01964>, Thy foundation <03245>
shall be laid.



Isaiah 45



1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> to his anointed
<04899>, to Cyrus <03566>, whose <0834> right <03225> hand
<03225> I have holden <02388>, to subdue <07286> nations <01471>
before <06440> him; and I will loose <06605> the loins <04975>
of kings <04428>, to open <06605> before <06440> him the two
leaved <01817> gates <01817>; and the gates < 08179> shall not be
shut <05462>;



2 I will go <03212> before <06440> thee, and make the crooked
<01921> places straight <03474>: I will break < 07665> in pieces
the gates <01817> of brass <05154>, and cut < 01438> in sunder
the bars <01280> of iron <01270>:



3 And I will give <05414> thee the treasures <0214> of darkness
<02822>, and hidden <04301> riches <04301> of secret <04565>
places, that thou mayest know <03045> that I, the LORD < 03068>,
which call <07121> [thee] by thy name <08034>, [am] the God
<0430> of Israel <03478>.



4 For Jacob <03290> my servant's <05650> sake < 04616>, and
Israel <03478> mine elect <0972>, I have even called <07121>
thee by thy name <08034>: I have surnamed <03655> thee, though
thou hast not known <03045> me.



5. I [am] the LORD <03068>, and [there is] none < 0369> else
<05750>, [there is] no <0369> God <0430> beside <02108> me: I
girded <0247> thee, though thou hast not known <03045> me:



6 That they may know <03045> from the rising <04217> of the sun
<08121>, and from the west <04628>, that [there is] none <0657>
beside <01107> me. I [am] the LORD <03068>, and [there is] none
<0369> else <05750>.



7 I form <03335> the light <0216>, and create < 01254> darkness
<02822>: I make <06213> peace <07965>, and create <01254> evil
<07451>: I the LORD <03068> do <06213> all these <0428> [things].



8 Drop <07491> down, ye heavens <08064>, from above <04605>,
and let the skies <07834> pour <05140> down righteousness
<06664>: let the earth <0776> open <06605>, and let them bring
<06509> forth <06509> salvation <03468>, and let righteousness
<06666> spring <06779> up together <03162>; I the LORD <03068>
have created <01254> it.



9 Woe <01945> unto him that striveth <07378> with his Maker
<03335>! [Let] the potsherd <02789> [strive] with the potsherds
<02789> of the earth <0127>. Shall the clay < 02563> say <0559>
to him that fashioneth <03335> it, What <04100> makest <06213>
thou? or thy work <06467>, He hath no <0369> hands <03027>?



10 Woe <01945> unto him that saith <0559> unto [his] father
<01>, What <04100> begettest <03205> thou? or to the woman
<0802>, What <04100> hast thou brought <02342> forth <02342>?



11. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, the Holy
<06918> One of Israel <03478>, and his Maker < 03335>, Ask
<07592> me of things to come <0857> concerning < 05921> my sons
<01121>, and concerning <05921> the work <06467> of my hands
<03027> command <06680> ye me.



12 I have made <06213> the earth <0776>, and created <01254>
man <0120> upon it: I, [even] my hands <03027>, have stretched
<05186> out the heavens <08064>, and all <03605> their host
<06635> have I commanded <06680>.



13 I have raised <05782> him up in righteousness < 06664>, and I
will direct <03474> all <03605> his ways <01870> : he shall build
<01129> my city <05892>, and he shall let go < 07971> my captives
<01546>, not for price <04242> nor <03808> reward <07810>, saith
<0559> the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.



14 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, The labour
<03018> of Egypt <04714>, and merchandise < 05505> of Ethiopia
<03568> and of the Sabeans <05436>, men <0582> of stature
<04060>, shall come <05674> over <05674> unto thee, and they
shall be thine: they shall come <03212> after <0310> thee; in
chains <02131> they shall come <05674> over < 05674>, and they
shall fall <07812> down <07812> unto thee, they shall make
supplication <06419> unto thee, [saying], Surely < 0389> God
<0410> [is] in thee; and [there is] none <0369> else <05750>,
[there is] no <0657> God <0430>.



15 Verily <0403> thou [art] a God <0410> that hidest <05641>
thyself, O God <0430> of Israel <03478>, the Saviour <03467>.



16 They shall be ashamed <0954>, and also <01571> confounded
<03637>, all <03605> of them: they shall go < 01980> to confusion
<03639> together <03162> [that are] makers < 02796> of idols
<06736>.



17 [But] Israel <03478> shall be saved <03467> in the LORD
<03068> with an everlasting <05769> salvation < 08668>: ye shall
not be ashamed <0954> nor <03808> confounded < 03637> world
<05769> without end.



18 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD < 03068> that created
<01254> the heavens <08064>; God <0430> himself <01931> that
formed <03335> the earth <0776> and made <06213> it; he hath
established <03559> it, he created <01254> it not in vain
<08414>, he formed <03335> it to be inhabited < 03427>: I [am]
the LORD <03068>; and [there is] none <0369> else < 05750>.



19 I have not spoken <01696> in secret <05643>, in a dark
<02822> place <04725> of the earth <0776>: I said <0559> not
unto the seed <02233> of Jacob <03290>, Seek < 01245> ye me in
vain <08414>: I the LORD <03068> speak <01696> righteousness
<06664>, I declare <05046> things that are right < 04339>.



20. Assemble <06908> yourselves and come <0935>; draw near
<05066> together <03162>, ye [that are] escaped < 06412> of the
nations <01471>: they have no <03808> knowledge < 03045> that set
<05375> up the wood <06086> of their graven < 06459> image, and
pray <06419> unto a god <0410> [that] cannot < 03808> save
<03467>.



21 Tell <05046> ye, and bring <05066> [them] near <05066>; yea
<0637>, let them take counsel <03289> together < 03162>: who
<04310> hath declared <05046> this <02063> from ancient <06924>
time? [who] hath told <05046> it from that time <0227> ? [have]
not I the LORD <03068>? and [there is] no <0369> God <0430> else
<05750> beside <01107> me; a just <06662> God <0410> and a
Saviour <03467>; [there is] none <0369> beside < 02108> me.



22 Look <06437> unto me, and be ye saved <03467>, all the ends
<0657> of the earth <0776>: for I [am] God < 0410>, and [there
is] none <0369> else <05750>.



23 I have sworn <07650> by myself, the word <01697> is gone
<03318> out of my mouth <06310> [in] righteousness <06666>, and
shall not return <07725>, That unto me every <03605> knee
<01290> shall bow <03766>, every <03605> tongue <03956> shall
swear <07650>.



24 Surely, shall [one] say <0559>, in the LORD < 03068> have I
righteousness <06666> and strength <05797>: [even] to him shall
[men] come <0935>; and all <03605> that are incensed <02734>
against him shall be ashamed <0954>.



25 In the LORD <03068> shall all <03605> the seed <02233> of
Israel <03478> be justified <06663>, and shall glory <01984>.



Isaiah 46



1. Bel <01078> boweth <03766> down <03766>, Nebo <05015>
stoopeth <07164>, their idols <06091> were upon the beasts
<02416>, and upon the cattle <0929>: your carriages <05385>
[were] heavy loaden <06006>; [they are] a burden < 04853> to the
weary <05889> [beast].



2 They stoop <07164>, they bow <03766> down < 03766> together
<03162>; they could <03201> not deliver <04422> the burden
<04853>, but themselves <05315> are gone <01980> into captivity
<07628>.



3 Hearken <08085> unto me, O house <01004> of Jacob <03290>,
and all <03605> the remnant <07611> of the house < 01004> of
Israel <03478>, which are borne <06006> [by me] from the belly
<0990>, which are carried <05375> from the womb < 07356>:



4 And [even] to [your] old <02209> age <02209> I [am] he; and
[even] to hoar <07872> hairs will I carry <05445> [you]: I have
made <06213>, and I will bear <05375>; even I will carry <05445>,
and will deliver <04422> [you].



5. To whom <04310> will ye liken <01819> me, and make [me]
equal <07737>, and compare <04911> me, that we may be like
<01819>?



6 They lavish <02107> gold <02091> out of the bag <03599>, and
weigh <08254> silver <03701> in the balance < 07070>, [and] hire
<07936> a goldsmith <06884>; and he maketh < 06213> it a god
<0410>: they fall <05456> down <05456>, yea < 0637>, they worship
<07812>.



7 They bear <05375> him upon the shoulder <03802>, they carry
<05445> him, and set <03240> him in his place < 08478>, and he
standeth <05975>; from his place <04725> shall he not remove
<04185>: yea <0637>, [one] shall cry <06817> unto him, yet can
he not answer <06030>, nor <03808> save <03467> him out of his
trouble <06869>.



8 Remember <02142> this <02063>, and shew yourselves men <0376>:
bring <07725> [it] again <07725> to mind < 03820>, O ye
transgressors <06586>.



9 Remember <02142> the former <07223> things of old <05769>:
for I [am] God <0410>, and [there is] none <0369> else <05750>;
[I am] God <0430>, and [there is] none <0657> like <03644> me,



10 Declaring <05046> the end <0319> from the beginning <07225>,
and from ancient <06924> times [the things] that are not [yet]
done <06213>, saying <0559>, My counsel <06098> shall stand
<06965>, and I will do <06213> all <03605> my pleasure <02656>:



11 Calling <07121> a ravenous <05861> bird < 05861> from the
east <04217>, the man <0376> that executeth my counsel <06098>
from a far <04801> country <0776>: yea <0637>, I have spoken
<01696> [it], I will also <0637> bring <0935> it to pass; I have
purposed <03335> [it], I will also <0637> do < 06213> it.



12 Hearken <08085> unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far
<07350> from righteousness <06666>:



13 I bring <07126> near <07126> my righteousness < 06666>; it
shall not be far <07368> off, and my salvation <08668> shall not
tarry <0309>: and I will place <05414> salvation < 08668> in Zion
<06726> for Israel <03478> my glory <08597>.



Isaiah 47



1. Come <03381> down <03381>, and sit <03427> in the dust
<06083>, O virgin <01330> daughter <01323> of Babylon <0894>,
sit <03427> on <05921> the ground <0776>: [there is] no <0369>
throne <03678>, O daughter <01323> of the Chaldeans <03778>: for
thou shalt no <03808> more <03254> be called < 07121> tender
<07390> and delicate <06028>.



2 Take <03947> the millstones <07347>, and grind < 02912> meal
<07058>: uncover <01540> thy locks <06777>, make bare <02834>
the leg <07640>, uncover <01540> the thigh < 07785>, pass <05674>
over <05674> the rivers <05103>.



3 Thy nakedness <06172> shall be uncovered <01540>, yea <01571>,
thy shame <02781> shall be seen <07200>: I will take <03947>
vengeance <05359>, and I will not meet <06293> [thee as] a man
<0120>.



4 [As for] our redeemer <01350>, the LORD <03068> of hosts
<06635> [is] his name <08034>, the Holy <06918> One of Israel
<03478>.



5 Sit <03427> thou silent <01748>, and get < 0935> thee into
darkness <02822>, O daughter <01323> of the Chaldeans <03778>:
for thou shalt no <03808> more <03254> be called < 07121>, The
lady <01404> of kingdoms <04467>.



6 I was wroth <07107> with my people <05971>, I have polluted
<02490> mine inheritance <05159>, and given < 05414> them into
thine hand <03027>: thou didst shew <07760> them no <03808>
mercy <07356>; upon the ancient <02204> hast thou very <03966>
heavily <03513> laid thy yoke <05923>.



7. And thou saidst <0559>, I shall be a lady <01404> for ever
<05769>: [so <05704>] that thou didst not lay < 07760> these
<0428> [things] to thy heart <03820>, neither < 03808> didst
remember <02142> the latter <0319> end of it.



8 Therefore hear <08085> now <06258> this < 02063>, [thou that
art] given to pleasures <05719>, that dwellest <03427>
carelessly <0983>, that sayest <0559> in thine heart <03824>, I
[am], and none <0657> else <05750> beside <0657> me; I shall not
sit <03427> [as] a widow <0490>, neither <03808> shall I know
<03045> the loss <07921> of children:



9 But these <0428> two <08147> [things] shall come <0935> to
thee in a moment <07281> in one <0259> day < 03117>, the loss
<07921> of children, and widowhood <0489>: they shall come
<0935> upon thee in their perfection <08537> for the multitude
<07230> of thy sorceries <03785>, [and] for the great <03966>
abundance <06109> of thine enchantments <02267>.



10 For thou hast trusted <0982> in thy wickedness < 07451>: thou
hast said <0559>, None <0369> seeth <07200> me. Thy wisdom
<02451> and thy knowledge <01847>, it hath perverted <07725>
thee; and thou hast said <0559> in thine heart <03820> , I [am],
and none <0657> else <05750> beside <0657> me.



11 Therefore shall evil <07451> come <0935> upon thee; thou
shalt not know <03045> from whence <0370> it riseth <07837>: and
mischief <01943> shall fall <05307> upon thee; thou shalt not be
able <03201> to put <03722> it off: and desolation <07722> shall
come <0935> upon thee suddenly <06597>, [which] thou shalt not
know <03045>.



12 Stand <05975> now <04994> with thine enchantments <02267>,
and with the multitude <07230> of thy sorceries < 03785>, wherein
<0834> thou hast laboured <03021> from thy youth < 05271>; if
<0194> so be thou shalt be able <03201> to profit < 03276>, if
<0194> so be thou mayest prevail <06206>.



13 Thou art wearied <03811> in the multitude <07230> of thy
counsels <06098>. Let now <04994> the astrologers < 01895>, the
stargazers, the monthly <02320> prognosticators < 03045>, stand
<05975> up, and save <03467> thee from [these things] that shall
come <0935> upon thee.



14 Behold <02009>, they shall be as stubble <07179>; the fire
<0784> shall burn <08313> them; they shall not deliver <05337>
themselves <05315> from the power <03027> of the flame <03852>:
[there shall] not [be] a coal <01513> to warm <02552> at, [nor]
fire <0217> to sit <03427> before <05048> it.



15 Thus <03651> shall they be unto thee with whom < 0834> thou
hast laboured <03021>, [even] thy merchants <05503>, from thy
youth <05271>: they shall wander <08582> every < 0376> one <0376>
to his quarter <05676>; none <0369> shall save < 03467> thee.



Isaiah 48



1. Hear <08085> ye this <02063>, O house < 01004> of Jacob
<03290>, which are called <07121> by the name < 08034> of Israel
<03478>, and are come <03318> forth <03318> out of the waters
<04325> of Judah <03063>, which swear <07650> by the name
<08034> of the LORD <03068>, and make mention < 02142> of the God
<0430> of Israel <03478>, [but] not in truth < 0571>, nor <03808>
in righteousness <06666>.



2 For they call <07121> themselves of the holy < 06944> city
<05892>, and stay <05564> themselves upon the God < 0430> of
Israel <03478>; The LORD <03068> of hosts < 06635> [is] his name
<08034>.



3 I have declared <05046> the former <07223> things from the
beginning <0227>; and they went <03318> forth < 03318> out of my
mouth <06310>, and I shewed <08085> them; I did < 06213> [them]
suddenly <06597>, and they came <0935> to pass.



4 Because I knew <01847> that thou [art] obstinate < 07186>, and
thy neck <06203> [is] an iron <01270> sinew < 01517>, and thy
brow <04696> brass <05154>;



5 I have even from the beginning <0227> declared < 05046> [it]
to thee; before <02962> it came <0935> to pass I shewed <08085>
[it] thee: lest <06435> thou shouldest say <0559>, Mine idol
<06090> hath done <06213> them, and my graven < 06459> image, and
my molten <05262> image, hath commanded <06680> them.



6 Thou hast heard <08085>, see <02372> all < 03605> this; and
will not ye declare <05046> [it]? I have shewed < 08085> thee new
<02319> things from this time <06258>, even hidden <05341>
things, and thou didst not know <03045> them.



7 They are created <01254> now <06258>, and not from the
beginning <0227>; even before <06440> the day < 03117> when thou
heardest <08085> them not; lest <06435> thou shouldest say
<0559>, Behold <02009>, I knew <03045> them.



8 Yea <01571>, thou heardest <08085> not; yea < 01571>, thou
knewest <03045> not; yea <01571>, from that time < 0227> [that]
thine ear <0241> was not opened <06605>: for I knew <03045> that
thou wouldest deal very <0898> treacherously <0898>, and wast
called <07121> a transgressor <06586> from the womb <0990>.



9. For my name's <08034> sake <04616> will I defer <0748> mine
anger <0639>, and for my praise <08416> will I refrain <02413>
for thee, that I cut <03772> thee not off.



10 Behold <02009>, I have refined <06884> thee, but not with
silver <03701>; I have chosen <0977> thee in the furnace <03564>
of affliction <06040>.



11 For mine own sake <04616>, [even] for mine own sake < 04616>,
will I do <06213> [it]: for how <0349> should [my name] be
polluted <02490>? and I will not give <05414> my glory <03519>
unto another <0312>.



12 Hearken <08085> unto me, O Jacob <03290> and Israel <03478>,
my called <07121>; I [am] he; I [am] the first <07223> , I also
<0637> [am] the last <0314>.



13 Mine hand <03027> also <0637> hath laid the foundation
<03245> of the earth <0776>, and my right < 03225> hand <03225>
hath spanned <02946> the heavens <08064>: [when] I call <07121>
unto them, they stand <05975> up together <03162>.



14 All <03605> ye, assemble <06908> yourselves, and hear
<08085>; which <04310> among them hath declared < 05046> these
<0428> [things]? The LORD <03068> hath loved < 0157> him: he will
do <06213> his pleasure <02656> on Babylon < 0894>, and his arm
<02220> [shall be on] the Chaldeans <03778>.



15 I, [even] I, have spoken <01696>; yea <0637>, I have called
<07121> him: I have brought <0935> him, and he shall make his
way <01870> prosperous <06743>.



16. Come <07126> ye near <07126> unto me, hear < 08085> ye this
<02063>; I have not spoken <01696> in secret < 05643> from the
beginning <07218>; from the time <06256> that it was, there
<08033> [am] I: and now <06258> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, and
his Spirit <07307>, hath sent <07971> me.



17 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, thy Redeemer
<01350>, the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>; I [am] the LORD
<03068> thy God <0430> which teacheth <03925> thee to profit
<03276>, which leadeth <01869> thee by the way < 01870> [that]
thou shouldest go <03212>.



18 O that thou hadst hearkened <07181> to my commandments
<04687>! then had thy peace <07965> been <01961> as a river
<05104>, and thy righteousness <06666> as the waves <01530> of
the sea <03220>:



19 Thy seed <02233> also had been <01961> as the sand <02344>,
and the offspring <06631> of thy bowels <04578> like the gravel
<04579> thereof; his name <08034> should not have been cut
<03772> off nor <03808> destroyed <08045> from before <06440> me.



20 Go <03318> ye forth <03318> of Babylon < 0894>, flee <01272>
ye from the Chaldeans <03778>, with a voice <06963> of singing
<07440> declare <05046> ye, tell <08085> this <02063>, utter
<03318> it [even] to the end <07097> of the earth < 0776>; say
<0559> ye, The LORD <03068> hath redeemed < 01350> his servant
<05650> Jacob <03290>.



21 And they thirsted <06770> not [when] he led < 03212> them
through the deserts <02723>: he caused the waters < 04325> to
flow <05140> out of the rock <06697> for them: he clave <01234>
the rock <06697> also, and the waters <04325> gushed <02100> out.



22 [There is] no <0369> peace <07965>, saith < 0559> the LORD
<03068>, unto the wicked <07563>.



Isaiah 49



1. Listen <08085>, O isles <0339>, unto me; and hearken <07181>,
ye people <03816>, from far <07350>; The LORD < 03068> hath
called <07121> me from the womb <0990>; from the bowels <04578>
of my mother <0517> hath he made mention <02142> of my name
<08034>.



2 And he hath made <07760> my mouth <06310> like a sharp
<02299> sword <02719>; in the shadow <06738> of his hand <03027>
hath he hid <02244> me, and made <07760> me a polished <01305>
shaft <02671>; in his quiver <0827> hath he hid < 05641> me;



3 And said <0559> unto me, Thou [art] my servant < 05650>, O
Israel <03478>, in whom <0834> I will be glorified <06286>.



4 Then I said <0559>, I have laboured <03021> in vain <07385>,
I have spent <03615> my strength <03581> for nought <08414>, and
in vain <01892>: [yet] surely <0403> my judgment < 04941> [is]
with the LORD <03068>, and my work <06468> with my God <0430>.



5 And now <06258>, saith <0559> the LORD < 03068> that formed
<03335> me from the womb <0990> [to be] his servant <05650>, to
bring <07725> Jacob <03290> again <07725> to him, Though Israel
<03478> be not gathered <0622>, yet shall I be glorious <03513>
in the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and my God <0430> shall
be my strength <05797>.



6 And he said <0559>, It is a light <07043> thing that thou
shouldest be my servant <05650> to raise <06965> up the tribes
<07626> of Jacob <03290>, and to restore <07725> the preserved
<05336> of Israel <03478>: I will also give < 05414> thee for a
light <0216> to the Gentiles <01471>, that thou mayest be my
salvation <03444> unto the end <07097> of the earth <0776>.



7. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, the Redeemer
<01350> of Israel <03478>, [and] his Holy < 06918> One, to him
whom man <05315> despiseth <0960>, to him whom the nation
<01471> abhorreth <08581>, to a servant <05650> of rulers
<04910>, Kings <04428> shall see <07200> and arise <06965>,
princes <08269> also shall worship <07812>, because <04616> of
the LORD <03068> that is faithful <0539>, [and] the Holy <06918>
One of Israel <03478>, and he shall choose <0977> thee.



8 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, In an acceptable
<07522> time <06256> have I heard <06030> thee, and in a day
<03117> of salvation <03444> have I helped < 05826> thee: and I
will preserve <05341> thee, and give <05414> thee for a covenant
<01285> of the people <05971>, to establish < 06965> the earth
<0776>, to cause to inherit <05157> the desolate < 08076>
heritages <05159>;



9 That thou mayest say <0559> to the prisoners <0631> , Go
<03318> forth <03318>; to them that [are] in darkness <02822>,
Shew <01540> yourselves. They shall feed <07462> in the ways
<01870>, and their pastures <04830> [shall be] in all <03605>
high <08203> places.



10 They shall not hunger <07456> nor <03808> thirst <06770>;
neither <03808> shall the heat <08273> nor < 03808> sun <08121>
smite <05221> them: for he that hath mercy <07355> on them shall
lead <05090> them, even by the springs <04002> of water <04325>
shall he guide <05095> them.



11 And I will make <07760> all <03605> my mountains <02022> a
way <01870>, and my highways <04546> shall be exalted <07311>.



12 Behold <02009>, these <0428> shall come < 0935> from far
<07350>: and, lo <02009>, these <0428> from the north <06828>
and from the west <03220>; and these <0428> from the land <0776>
of Sinim <05515>.



13. Sing <07442>, O heavens <08064>; and be joyful <01523>, O
earth <0776>; and break <06476> forth into singing <07440>, O
mountains <02022>: for the LORD <03068> hath comforted <05162>
his people <05971>, and will have mercy <07355> upon his
afflicted <06041>.



14 But Zion <06726> said <0559>, The LORD < 03068> hath forsaken
<05800> me, and my Lord <0136> hath forgotten < 07913> me.



15 Can a woman <0802> forget <07911> her sucking < 05764> child,
that she should not have compassion <07355> on the son < 01121>
of her womb <0990>? yea <01571>, they may forget < 07911>, yet
will I not forget <07911> thee.



16 Behold <02005>, I have graven <02710> thee upon the palms
<03709> of [my] hands <03709>; thy walls <02346> [are]
continually <08548> before <05048> me.



17 Thy children <01121> shall make haste <04116>; thy
destroyers <02040> and they that made thee waste < 02717> shall
go <03318> forth <03318> of thee.



18. Lift <05375> up thine eyes <05869> round < 05439> about, and
behold <07200>: all <03605> these gather <06908> themselves
together, [and] come <0935> to thee. [As] I live < 02416>, saith
<05002> the LORD <03068>, thou shalt surely < 03588> clothe
<03847> thee with them all <03605>, as with an ornament <05716>,
and bind <07194> them [on thee], as a bride <03618> [doeth].



19 For thy waste <02723> and thy desolate <08074> places, and
the land <0776> of thy destruction <02035>, shall even <03588>
now <06258> be too narrow <03334> by reason of the inhabitants
<03427>, and they that swallowed <01104> thee up shall be far
<07368> away.



20 The children <01121> which thou shalt have, after thou hast
lost <07923> the other, shall say <0559> again < 05750> in thine
ears <0241>, The place <04725> [is] too strait < 06862> for me:
give <05066> place <04725> to me that I may dwell < 03427>.



21 Then shalt thou say <0559> in thine heart <03824>, Who
<04310> hath begotten <03205> me these <0428>, seeing I have
lost <07908> my children, and am desolate <01565>, a captive
<01473>, and removing <05493> to and fro? and who < 04310> hath
brought <01431> up these <02007>? Behold <02005> , I was left
<07604> alone <0905>; these <0428>, where < 0375> [had] they
[been]?



22 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>,
Behold <02009>, I will lift <05375> up mine hand < 03027> to the
Gentiles <01471>, and set <07311> up my standard < 05251> to the
people <05971>: and they shall bring <0935> thy sons <01121> in
[their] arms <02684>, and thy daughters <01121> shall be carried
<05375> upon [their] shoulders <03802>.



23 And kings <04428> shall be thy nursing <0539> fathers, and
their queens <08282> thy nursing <03243> mothers: they shall bow
<07812> down <07812> to thee with [their] face < 0639> toward the
earth <0776>, and lick <03897> up the dust < 06083> of thy feet
<07272>; and thou shalt know <03045> that I [am] the LORD
<03068>: for they shall not be ashamed <0954> that wait <06960>
for me.



24. Shall the prey <04455> be taken <03947> from the mighty
<01368>, or the lawful <06662> captive <07628> delivered <04422>?



25 But thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD < 03068>, Even <01571>
the captives <07628> of the mighty <01368> shall be taken
<03947> away, and the prey <04455> of the terrible <06184> shall
be delivered <04422>: for I will contend <07378> with him that
contendeth <03401> with thee, and I will save <03467> thy
children <01121>.



26 And I will feed <0398> them that oppress <03238> thee with
their own flesh <01320>; and they shall be drunken < 07937> with
their own blood <01818>, as with sweet <06071> wine <06071>: and
all <03605> flesh <01320> shall know <03045> that I the LORD
<03068> [am] thy Saviour <03467> and thy Redeemer < 01350>, the
mighty <046> One of Jacob <03290>.



Isaiah 50



1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, Where <0335>
[is] the bill <05612> of your mother's <0517> divorcement
<03748>, whom <0834> I have put <07971> away? or <0176> which
<04310> of my creditors <05383> [is it] to whom < 0834> I have
sold <04376> you? Behold <02005>, for your iniquities <05771>
have ye sold <04376> yourselves, and for your transgressions
<06588> is your mother <0517> put <07971> away.



2 Wherefore <04069>, when I came <0935>, [was there] no <0369>
man <0376>? when I called <07121>, [was there] none <0369> to
answer <06030>? Is my hand <03027> shortened < 07114> at all,
that it cannot redeem <06304>? or have I no <0369> power <03581>
to deliver <05337>? behold <02005>, at my rebuke < 01606> I dry
<02717> up the sea <03220>, I make <07760> the rivers <05103> a
wilderness <04057>: their fish <01710> stinketh < 0887>, because
[there is] no <0369> water <04325>, and dieth < 04191> for thirst
<06772>.



3 I clothe <03847> the heavens <08064> with blackness <06940>,
and I make <07760> sackcloth <08242> their covering <03682>.



4. The Lord <0136> GOD <03069> hath given < 05414> me the tongue
<03956> of the learned <03928>, that I should know <03045> how
to speak <05790> a word <01697> in season to [him that is] weary
<03287>: he wakeneth <05782> morning <01242> by morning <01242>,
he wakeneth <05782> mine ear <0241> to hear < 08085> as the
learned <03928>.



5 The Lord <0136> GOD <03069> hath opened < 06605> mine ear
<0241>, and I was not rebellious <04784>, neither < 03808> turned
<05472> away back <0268>.



6 I gave <05414> my back <01458> to the smiters < 05221>, and my
cheeks <03895> to them that plucked <04803> off the hair: I hid
<05641> not my face <06440> from shame <03639> and spitting
<07536>.



7 For the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will help < 05826> me;
therefore shall I not be confounded <03637>: therefore have I
set <07760> my face <06440> like a flint <02496> , and I know
<03045> that I shall not be ashamed <0954>.



8 [He is] near <07138> that justifieth <06663> me; who <04310>
will contend <07378> with me? let us stand <05975> together
<03162>: who <04310> [is] mine adversary? let him come <05066>
near <05066> to me.



9 Behold <02005>, the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will help <05826>
me; who <04310> [is] he [that] shall condemn <07561> me? lo
<02005>, they all <03605> shall wax old <01086> as a garment
<0899>; the moth <06211> shall eat <0398> them up.



10. Who <04310> [is] among you that feareth <03373> the LORD
<03068>, that obeyeth <08085> the voice <06963> of his servant
<05650>, that walketh <01980> [in] darkness < 02825>, and hath no
<0369> light <05051>? let him trust <0982> in the name <08034>
of the LORD <03068>, and stay <08172> upon his God <0430>.



11 Behold <02005>, all <03605> ye that kindle < 06919> a fire
<0784>, that compass <0247> [yourselves] about with sparks
<02131>: walk <03212> in the light <0217> of your fire <0784>,
and in the sparks <02131> [that] ye have kindled < 01197>. This
<02063> shall ye have <01961> of mine hand < 03027>; ye shall lie
<07901> down <07901> in sorrow <04620>.



Isaiah 51



1. Hearken <08085> to me, ye that follow <07291> after <0310>
righteousness <06664>, ye that seek <01245> the LORD <03068>:
look <05027> unto the rock <06697> [whence] ye are hewn <02672>,
and to the hole <04618> of the pit <0953> [whence] ye are digged
<05365>.



2 Look <05027> unto Abraham <085> your father < 01>, and unto
Sarah <08283> [that] bare <02342> you: for I called <07121> him
alone <0259>, and blessed <01288> him, and increased <07235> him.



3 For the LORD <03068> shall comfort <05162> Zion <06726>: he
will comfort <05162> all <03605> her waste < 02723> places; and
he will make <07760> her wilderness <04057> like Eden <05731>,
and her desert <06160> like the garden <01588> of the LORD
<03068>; joy <08342> and gladness <08057> shall be found <04672>
therein, thanksgiving <08426>, and the voice <06963> of melody
<02172>.



4. Hearken <07181> unto me, my people <05971>; and give ear
<0238> unto me, O my nation <03816>: for a law < 08451> shall
proceed <03318> from me, and I will make my judgment < 04941> to
rest <07280> for a light <0216> of the people < 05971>.



5 My righteousness <06664> [is] near <07138>; my salvation
<03468> is gone <03318> forth <03318>, and mine arms <02220>
shall judge <08199> the people <05971>; the isles < 0339> shall
wait <06960> upon me, and on <0413> mine arm < 02220> shall they
trust <03176>.



6 Lift <05375> up your eyes <05869> to the heavens <08064>, and
look <05027> upon the earth <0776> beneath < 08478>: for the
heavens <08064> shall vanish <04414> away like smoke <06227>,
and the earth <0776> shall wax old <01086> like a garment <0899>,
and they that dwell <03427> therein shall die <04191> in like
<03644> manner <03654>: but my salvation <03444> shall be for
ever <05769>, and my righteousness <06666> shall not be
abolished <02865>.



7 Hearken <08085> unto me, ye that know <03045> righteousness
<06664>, the people <05971> in whose heart < 03820> [is] my law
<08451>; fear <03372> ye not the reproach < 02781> of men <0582>,
neither <0408> be ye afraid <02865> of their revilings <01421>.



8 For the moth <06211> shall eat <0398> them up like a garment
<0899>, and the worm <05580> shall eat <0398> them like wool
<06785>: but my righteousness <06666> shall be for ever <05769>,
and my salvation <03444> from generation <01755> to generation
<01755>.



9. Awake <05782>, awake <05782>, put <03847> on strength
<05797>, O arm <02220> of the LORD <03068>; awake <05782>, as in
the ancient <06924> days <03117>, in the generations <01755> of
old <05769>. [Art] thou not it that hath cut <02672> Rahab
<07294>, [and] wounded <02490> the dragon < 08577>?



10 [Art] thou not it which hath dried <02717> the sea < 03220>,
the waters <04325> of the great <07227> deep < 08415>; that hath
made <07760> the depths <04615> of the sea < 03220> a way <01870>
for the ransomed <01350> to pass <05674> over < 05674>?



11 Therefore the redeemed <06299> of the LORD <03068> shall
return <07725>, and come <0935> with singing < 07440> unto Zion
<06726>; and everlasting <05769> joy <08057> [shall be] upon
their head <07218>: they shall obtain <05381> gladness <08057>
and joy <08057>; [and] sorrow <03015> and mourning <0585> shall
flee <05127> away.



12 I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth <05162> you: who
<04310> [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid < 03372> of a
man <0582> [that] shall die <04191>, and of the son <01121> of
man <0120> [which] shall be made <05414> [as] grass <02682>;



13 And forgettest <07911> the LORD <03068> thy maker <06213>,
that hath stretched <05186> forth the heavens <08064>, and laid
the foundations <03245> of the earth <0776>; and hast feared
<06342> continually <08548> every <03605> day <03117> because
<06440> of the fury <02534> of the oppressor < 06693>, as if he
were ready <03559> to destroy <07843>? and where < 0346> [is] the
fury <02534> of the oppressor <06693>?



14 The captive <06808> exile <06808> hasteneth < 04116> that he
may be loosed <06605>, and that he should not die < 04191> in the
pit <07845>, nor <03808> that his bread <03899> should fail
<02637>.



15 But I [am] the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, that divided
<07280> the sea <03220>, whose waves <01530> roared <01993>: The
LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> [is] his name < 08034>.



16 And I have put <07760> my words <01697> in thy mouth <06310>,
and I have covered <03680> thee in the shadow <06738> of mine
hand <03027>, that I may plant <05193> the heavens <08064>, and
lay the foundations <03245> of the earth <0776>, and say <0559>
unto Zion <06726>, Thou [art] my people <05971>.



17. Awake <05782>, awake <05782>, stand <06965> up, O Jerusalem
<03389>, which <0834> hast drunk <08354> at the hand <03027> of
the LORD <03068> the cup <03563> of his fury < 02534>; thou hast
drunken <08354> the dregs <06907> of the cup < 03563> of
trembling <08653>, [and] wrung <04680> [them] out.



18 [There is] none <0369> to guide <05095> her among all
<03605> the sons <01121> [whom] she hath brought < 03205> forth
<03205>; neither <0369> [is there any] that taketh <02388> her
by the hand <03027> of all <03605> the sons < 01121> [that] she
hath brought <01431> up.



19 These <02007> two <08147> [things] are come < 07122> unto
thee; who <04310> shall be sorry <05110> for thee? desolation
<07701>, and destruction <07667>, and the famine < 07458>, and
the sword <02719>: by whom <04310> shall I comfort <05162> thee?



20 Thy sons <01121> have fainted <05968>, they lie <07901> at
the head <07218> of all <03605> the streets < 02351>, as a wild
<08377> bull <08377> in a net <04364>: they are full <04392> of
the fury <02534> of the LORD <03068>, the rebuke < 01606> of thy
God <0430>.



21 Therefore <03651> hear <08085> now <04994> this <02063>,
thou afflicted <06041>, and drunken <07937>, but not with wine
<03196>:



22 Thus <03541> saith <0559> thy Lord <0113> the LORD <03068>,
and thy God <0430> [that] pleadeth <07378> the cause of his
people <05971>, Behold <02009>, I have taken < 03947> out of
thine hand <03027> the cup <03563> of trembling < 08653>, [even]
the dregs <06907> of the cup <03563> of my fury < 02534>; thou
shalt no <03808> more <03254> drink <08354> it again <05750>:



23 But I will put <07760> it into the hand <03027> of them that
afflict <03013> thee; which <0834> have said < 0559> to thy soul
<05315>, Bow <07812> down <07812>, that we may go <05674> over
<05674>: and thou hast laid <07760> thy body < 01460> as the
ground <0776>, and as the street <02351>, to them that went
<05674> over <05674>.



Isaiah 52



1. Awake <05782>, awake <05782>; put <03847> on thy strength
<05797>, O Zion <06726>; put <03847> on thy beautiful <08597>
garments <0899>, O Jerusalem <03389>, the holy < 06944> city
<05892>: for henceforth <06258> there shall no < 03808> more come
<0935> into thee the uncircumcised <06189> and the unclean
<02931>.



2 Shake <05287> thyself from the dust <06083>; arise <06965>,
[and] sit <03427> down, O Jerusalem <03389>: loose <06605>
thyself from the bands <04147> of thy neck <06677>, O captive
<07628> daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>.



3 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD < 03068>, Ye have sold
<04376> yourselves for nought <02600>; and ye shall be redeemed
<01350> without <03808> money <03701>.



4 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, My
people <05971> went <03381> down <03381> aforetime <07223> into
Egypt <04714> to sojourn <01481> there <08033>; and the Assyrian
<0804> oppressed <06231> them without <0657> cause <0657>.



5 Now <06258> therefore, what <04100> have I here <06311>,
saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, that my people < 05971> is taken
<03947> away for nought <02600>? they that rule < 04910> over
them make them to howl <03213>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>;
and my name <08034> continually <08548> every < 03605> day
<03117> [is] blasphemed <05006>.



6 Therefore <03651> my people <05971> shall know < 03045> my
name <08034>: therefore <03651> [they shall know] in that day
<03117> that I [am] he that doth speak <01696>: behold <02009>,
[it is] I.



7. How <04100> beautiful <04998> upon the mountains <02022> are
the feet <07272> of him that bringeth <01319> good <02896>
tidings <01319>, that publisheth <08085> peace < 07965>; that
bringeth <01319> good <02896> tidings <01319> of good <02896>,
that publisheth <08085> salvation <03444>; that saith <0559>
unto Zion <06726>, Thy God <0430> reigneth < 04427>!



8 Thy watchmen <06822> shall lift <05375> up the voice <06963>;
with the voice <06963> together <03162> shall they sing <07442>:
for they shall see <07200> eye <05869> to eye < 05869>, when the
LORD <03068> shall bring <07725> again <07725> Zion <06726>.



9 Break <06476> forth into joy, sing <07442> together <03162>,
ye waste <02723> places of Jerusalem <03389>: for the LORD
<03068> hath comforted <05162> his people < 05971>, he hath
redeemed <01350> Jerusalem <03389>.



10 The LORD <03068> hath made bare <02834> his holy <06944> arm
<02220> in the eyes <05869> of all <03605> the nations <01471>;
and all <03605> the ends <0657> of the earth < 0776> shall see
<07200> the salvation <03444> of our God <0430>.



11 Depart <05493> ye, depart <05493> ye, go < 03318> ye out from
thence <08033>, touch <05060> no <0408> unclean <02931> [thing];
go <03318> ye out of the midst <08432> of her; be ye clean
<01305>, that bear <05375> the vessels <03627> of the LORD
<03068>.



12 For ye shall not go <03318> out with haste <02649> , nor
<03808> go <03212> by flight <04499>: for the LORD <03068> will
go <01980> before <06440> you; and the God < 0430> of Israel
<03478> [will be] your rereward <0622>.



13. Behold <02009>, my servant <05650> shall deal prudently
<07919>, he shall be exalted <07311> and extolled < 05375>, and
be very <03966> high <01361>.



14 As many <07227> were astonied <08074> at thee; his visage
<04758> was so marred <04893> more than any man < 0376>, and his
form <08389> more than the sons <01121> of men < 0120>:



15 So <03651> shall he sprinkle <05137> many < 07227> nations
<01471>; the kings <04428> shall shut <07092> their mouths
<06310> at him: for [that] which <0834> had not been told
<05608> them shall they see <07200>; and [that] which <0834>
they had not heard <08085> shall they consider <0995>.



Isaiah 53



1. Who <04310> hath believed <0539> our report < 08052>? and to
whom <04310> is the arm <02220> of the LORD < 03068> revealed
<01540>?



2 For he shall grow <05927> up before <06440> him as a tender
<03126> plant, and as a root <08328> out of a dry < 06723> ground
<0776>: he hath no <03808> form <08389> nor < 03808> comeliness
<01926>; and when we shall see <07200> him, [there is] no
<03808> beauty <04758> that we should desire < 02530> him.



3 He is despised <0959> and rejected <02310> of men <0376>; a
man <0376> of sorrows <04341>, and acquainted < 03045> with grief
<02483>: and we hid <05641> as it were [our] faces <06440> from
him; he was despised <0959>, and we esteemed him not.



4. Surely <0403> he hath borne <05375> our griefs <02483>, and
carried <05445> our sorrows <04341>: yet we did esteem <02803>
him stricken <05060>, smitten <05221> of God < 0430>, and
afflicted <06031>.



5 But he [was] wounded <02490> for our transgressions < 06588>,
[he was] bruised <01792> for our iniquities <05771>: the
chastisement <04148> of our peace <07965> [was] upon him; and
with his stripes <02250> we are healed <07495>.



6 All <03605> we like sheep <06629> have gone < 08582> astray
<08582>; we have turned <06437> every <0376> one <0376> to his
own way <01870>; and the LORD <03068> hath laid < 06293> on him
the iniquity <05771> of us all <03605>.



7 He was oppressed <05065>, and he was afflicted < 06031>, yet
he opened <06605> not his mouth <06310>: he is brought <02986>
as a lamb <07716> to the slaughter <02875>, and as a sheep
<07353> before <06440> her shearers <01494> is dumb <0481>, so
he openeth <06605> not his mouth <06310>.



8 He was taken <03947> from prison <06115> and from judgment
<04941>: and who <04310> shall declare <07878> his generation
<01755>? for he was cut <01504> off out of the land <0776> of
the living <02416>: for the transgression <06588> of my people
<05971> was he stricken <05061>.



9 And he made <05414> his grave <06913> with the wicked <07563>,
and with the rich <06223> in his death <04194>; because <05921>
he had done <06213> no <03808> violence <02555>, neither <03808>
[was any] deceit <04820> in his mouth <06310>.



10. Yet it pleased <02654> the LORD <03068> to bruise <01792>
him; he hath put [him] to grief <02470>: when <0518> thou shalt
make <07760> his soul <05315> an offering for sin < 0817>, he
shall see <07200> [his] seed <02233>, he shall prolong <0748>
[his] days <03117>, and the pleasure <02656> of the LORD <03068>
shall prosper <06743> in his hand <03027>.



11 He shall see <07200> of the travail <05999> of his soul
<05315>, [and] shall be satisfied <07646>: by his knowledge
<01847> shall my righteous <06662> servant < 05650> justify
<06663> many <07227>; for he shall bear <05445> their iniquities
<05771>.



12 Therefore <03651> will I divide <05312> him [a portion] with
the great <07227>, and he shall divide <05312> the spoil <07998>
with the strong <06099>; because he hath poured < 06168> out his
soul <05315> unto death <04194>: and he was numbered <04487>
with the transgressors <06586>; and he bare <05375> the sin
<02399> of many <07227>, and made intercession < 06293> for the
transgressors <06586>.



Isaiah 54



1. Sing <07442>, O barren <06135>, thou [that] didst not bear
<05375>; break <06476> forth into singing < 07440>, and cry
<06670> aloud <06670>, thou [that] didst not travail <02342>
with child: for more <07227> [are] the children < 01121> of the
desolate <08074> than the children <01121> of the married
<01166> wife, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>.



2 Enlarge <07337> the place <04725> of thy tent < 0168>, and let
them stretch <05186> forth the curtains <03407> of thine
habitations <04908>: spare <02820> not, lengthen < 0748> thy
cords <04340>, and strengthen <02388> thy stakes < 03489>;



3 For thou shalt break <06555> forth on the right < 03225> hand
<03225> and on the left <08040>; and thy seed < 02233> shall
inherit <03423> the Gentiles <01471>, and make the desolate
<08077> cities <05892> to be inhabited <03427>.



4 Fear <03372> not; for thou shalt not be ashamed < 0954>:
neither <0408> be thou confounded <03637>; for thou shalt not be
put to shame <02659>: for thou shalt forget <07911> the shame
<01322> of thy youth <05934>, and shalt not remember <02142> the
reproach <02781> of thy widowhood <0491> any more < 05750>.



5 For thy Maker <06213> [is] thine husband <01167>; the LORD
<03068> of hosts <06635> [is] his name <08034>; and thy Redeemer
<01350> the Holy <06918> One of Israel <03478>; The God <0430>
of the whole <03605> earth <0776> shall he be called <07121>.



6. For the LORD <03068> hath called <07121> thee as a woman
<0802> forsaken <05800> and grieved <06087> in spirit <07307>,
and a wife <0802> of youth <05271>, when <03588> thou wast
refused <03988>, saith <0559> thy God <0430>.



7 For a small <06996> moment <07281> have I forsaken <05800>
thee; but with great <01419> mercies <07356> will I gather
<06908> thee.



8 In a little <08241> wrath <07110> I hid < 05641> my face
<06440> from thee for a moment <07281>; but with everlasting
<05769> kindness <02617> will I have mercy < 07355> on thee,
saith <0559> the LORD <03068> thy Redeemer < 01350>.



9 For this <02063> [is as] the waters <04325> of Noah <05146>
unto me: for [as] I have sworn <07650> that the waters < 04325>
of Noah <05146> should no more <05750> go < 05674> over <05674>
the earth <0776>; so <03651> have I sworn < 07650> that I would
not be wroth <07107> with thee, nor rebuke <01605> thee.



10 For the mountains <02022> shall depart <04185>, and the
hills <01389> be removed <04131>; but my kindness < 02617> shall
not depart <04185> from thee, neither <03808> shall the covenant
<01285> of my peace <07965> be removed <04131>, saith <0559> the
LORD <03068> that hath mercy <07355> on thee.



11. O thou afflicted <06041>, tossed with tempest < 05590>,
[and] not comforted <05162>, behold <02009>, I will lay <07257>
thy stones <068> with fair <06320> colours < 06320>, and lay thy
foundations <03245> with sapphires <05601>.



12 And I will make <07760> thy windows <08121> of agates
<03539>, and thy gates <08179> of carbuncles < 068>, and all
<03605> thy borders <01366> of pleasant <02656> stones <068>.



13 And all <03605> thy children <01121> [shall be] taught
<03928> of the LORD <03068>; and great <07227> [shall be] the
peace <07965> of thy children <01121>.



14 In righteousness <06666> shalt thou be established < 03559>:
thou shalt be far <07368> from oppression <06233>; for thou
shalt not fear <03372>: and from terror <04288>; for it shall
not come <07126> near <07126> thee.



15 Behold <02005>, they shall surely gather <01481> together,
[but] not by me: whosoever <04310> shall gather < 01481> together
against <05921> thee shall fall <05307> for thy sake <04616>.



16 Behold <02005>, I have created <01254> the smith <02796>
that bloweth <05301> the coals <06352> in the fire <0784>, and
that bringeth <03318> forth <04161> an instrument < 03627> for
his work <04639>; and I have created <01254> the waster <07843>
to destroy <02254>.



17 No <03808> weapon <03627> that is formed < 03335> against
<05921> thee shall prosper <06743>; and every < 03605> tongue
<03956> [that] shall rise <06965> against thee in judgment
<04941> thou shalt condemn <07561>. This <02063> [is] the
heritage <05159> of the servants <05650> of the LORD <03068>,
and their righteousness <06666> [is] of me, saith < 05002> the
LORD <03068>.



Isaiah 55



1. Ho <01945>, every <03605> one that thirsteth < 06771>, come
<03212> ye to the waters <04325>, and he that hath no <0369>
money <03701>; come <03212> ye, buy <07666>, and eat <0398>; yea,
come <03212>, buy <07666> wine <03196> and milk <02461> without
<03808> money <03701> and without <03808> price <04242>.



2 Wherefore <04100> do ye spend <08254> money < 03701> for [that
which <0834> is] not bread <03899>? and your labour <03018> for
[that which <0834>] satisfieth <07654> not? hearken <08085>
diligently unto me, and eat <0398> ye [that which < 0834> is]
good <02896>, and let your soul <05315> delight < 06026> itself
in fatness <01880>.



3 Incline <05186> your ear <0241>, and come < 03212> unto me:
hear <08085>, and your soul <05315> shall live < 02421>; and I
will make <03772> an everlasting <05769> covenant < 01285> with
you, [even] the sure <0539> mercies <02617> of David <01732>.



4 Behold <02005>, I have given <05414> him [for] a witness
<05707> to the people <03816>, a leader <05057> and commander
<06680> to the people <03816>.



5 Behold <02005>, thou shalt call <07121> a nation <01471>
[that] thou knowest <03045> not, and nations <01471> [that] knew
<03045> not thee shall run <07323> unto thee because <04616> of
the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, and for the Holy < 06918> One of
Israel <03478>; for he hath glorified <06286> thee.



6. Seek <01875> ye the LORD <03068> while he may be found
<04672>, call <07121> ye upon him while he is near <07138>:



7 Let the wicked <07563> forsake <05800> his way < 01870>, and
the unrighteous <0205> man <0376> his thoughts < 04284>: and let
him return <07725> unto the LORD <03068>, and he will have mercy
<07355> upon him; and to our God <0430>, for he will abundantly
<07235> pardon <05545>.



8 For my thoughts <04284> [are] not your thoughts < 04284>,
neither <03808> [are] your ways <01870> my ways < 01870>, saith
<05002> the LORD <03068>.



9 For [as] the heavens <08064> are higher <01361> than the
earth <0776>, so <03651> are my ways <01870> higher <01361> than
your ways <01870>, and my thoughts <04284> than your thoughts
<04284>.



10 For as the rain <01653> cometh <03381> down < 03381>, and the
snow <07950> from heaven <08064>, and returneth < 07725> not
thither <08033>, but watereth <07301> the earth < 0776>, and
maketh it bring <03205> forth <03205> and bud < 06779>, that it
may give <05414> seed <02233> to the sower < 02232>, and bread
<03899> to the eater <0398>:



11 So <03651> shall my word <01697> be that goeth <03318> forth
<03318> out of my mouth <06310>: it shall not return <07725>
unto me void <07387>, but it shall accomplish <06213> that which
<0834> I please <02654>, and it shall prosper < 06743> [in the
thing] whereto <0834> I sent <07971> it.



12 For ye shall go <03318> out with joy <08057>, and be led
<02986> forth <02986> with peace <07965>: the mountains <02022>
and the hills <01389> shall break <06476> forth before <06440>
you into singing <07440>, and all <03605> the trees <06086> of
the field <07704> shall clap <04222> [their] hands <03709>.



13 Instead <08478> of the thorn <05285> shall come <05927> up
the fir <01265> tree, and instead <08478> of the brier <05636>
shall come <05927> up the myrtle <01918> tree: and it shall be
to the LORD <03068> for a name <08034>, for an everlasting
<05769> sign <0226> [that] shall not be cut < 03772> off.



Isaiah 56



1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, Keep <08104> ye
judgment <04941>, and do <06213> justice <06666> : for my
salvation <03444> [is] near <07138> to come < 0935>, and my
righteousness <06666> to be revealed <01540>.



2 Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0582> [that] doeth <06213> this
<02063>, and the son <01121> of man <0120> [that] layeth hold
<02388> on it; that keepeth <08104> the sabbath < 07676> from
polluting <02490> it, and keepeth <08104> his hand <03027> from
doing <06213> any <03605> evil <07451>.



3. Neither <0408> let the son <01121> of the stranger <05236>,
that hath joined <03867> himself to the LORD <03068>, speak
<0559>, saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> hath utterly separated
<0914> me from his people <05971>: neither < 0408> let the eunuch
<05631> say <0559>, Behold <02005>, I [am] a dry <03002> tree
<06086>.



4 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD < 03068> unto the
eunuchs <05631> that keep <08104> my sabbaths < 07676>, and
choose <0977> [the things] that please <02654> me, and take
<02388> hold <02388> of my covenant <01285>;



5 Even unto them will I give <05414> in mine house < 01004> and
within my walls <02346> a place <03027> and a name <08034>
better <02896> than of sons <01121> and of daughters <01121>: I
will give <05414> them an everlasting <05769> name <08034>, that
shall not be cut <03772> off.



6 Also the sons <01121> of the stranger <05236>, that join
<03867> themselves to the LORD <03068>, to serve < 08334> him,
and to love <0157> the name <08034> of the LORD < 03068>, to be
his servants <05650>, every <03605> one that keepeth <08104> the
sabbath <07676> from polluting <02490> it, and taketh <02388>
hold <02388> of my covenant <01285>;



7 Even them will I bring <0935> to my holy <06944> mountain
<02022>, and make them joyful <08055> in my house < 01004> of
prayer <08605>: their burnt <05930> offerings and their
sacrifices <02077> [shall be] accepted <07522> upon mine altar
<04196>; for mine house <01004> shall be called < 07121> an house
<01004> of prayer <08605> for all <03605> people <05971>.



8 The Lord <0136> GOD <03069> which gathereth < 06908> the
outcasts <01760> of Israel <03478> saith <05002> , Yet <05750>
will I gather <06908> [others] to him, beside those that are
gathered <06908> unto him.



9. All <03605> ye beasts <02416> of the field < 07704>, come
<0857> to devour <0398>, [yea], all <03605> ye beasts <02416> in
the forest <03293>.



10 His watchmen <06822> [are] blind <05787>: they are all
<03605> ignorant, they [are] all <03605> dumb < 0483> dogs
<03611>, they cannot bark <05024>; sleeping < 01957>, lying
<07901> down <07901>, loving <0157> to slumber <05123>.



11 Yea, [they are] greedy dogs <03611> [which] can < 03045>
never <03808> have <03045> enough <07654>, and they [are]
shepherds <07462> [that] cannot understand <0995>: they all
<03605> look <06437> to their own way <01870>, every <0376> one
<0376> for his gain <01214>, from his quarter < 07098>.



12 Come <0857> ye, [say they], I will fetch <03947> wine
<03196>, and we will fill <04390> ourselves with strong drink
<07941>; and to morrow <04279> shall be as this < 02088> day
<03117>, [and] much <03966> more <03499> abundant <01419>.



Isaiah 57



1. The righteous <06662> perisheth <06>, and no < 0369> man
<0376> layeth <07760> [it] to heart <03820>: and merciful
<02617> men <0582> [are] taken <0622> away, none <0369>
considering <0995> that the righteous <06662> is taken <0622>
away from the evil <07451> [to come].



2 He shall enter <0935> into peace <07965>: they shall rest
<05117> in their beds <04904>, [each one] walking < 01980> [in]
his uprightness <05228>.



3. But draw near <07126> hither, ye sons <01121> of the
sorceress <06049>, the seed <02233> of the adulterer <05003> and
the whore <02181>.



4 Against <05921> whom <04310> do ye sport < 06026> yourselves?
against <05921> whom <04310> make ye a wide < 07337> mouth
<06310>, [and] draw <0748> out the tongue < 03956>? [are] ye not
children <03206> of transgression <06588>, a seed < 02233> of
falsehood <08267>,



5 Enflaming <02552> yourselves with idols <0410> under <08478>
every <03605> green <07488> tree <06086>, slaying <07819> the
children <03206> in the valleys <05158> under < 08478> the clifts
<05585> of the rocks <05553>?



6 Among the smooth <02511> [stones] of the stream < 05158> [is]
thy portion <02506>; they, they [are] thy lot <01486>: even
<01571> to them hast thou poured <08210> a drink < 05262>
offering, thou hast offered <05927> a meat offering < 04503>.
Should I receive <05162> comfort <05162> in these < 0428>?



7 Upon a lofty <01364> and high <05375> mountain < 02022> hast
thou set <07760> thy bed <04904>: even <01571> thither <08033>
wentest <05927> thou up to offer <02076> sacrifice <02077>.



8 Behind <0310> the doors <01817> also and the posts <04201>
hast thou set <07760> up thy remembrance <02146>: for thou hast
discovered <01540> [thyself to another] than me, and art gone
<05927> up; thou hast enlarged <07337> thy bed < 04904>, and made
<03772> thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst < 0157> their
bed <04904> where <03027> thou sawest <02372> [it].



9 And thou wentest <07788> to the king <04428> with ointment
<08081>, and didst increase <07235> thy perfumes < 07547>, and
didst send <07971> thy messengers <06735> far < 07350> off, and
didst debase <08213> [thyself even] unto hell <07585>.



10 Thou art wearied <03021> in the greatness <07230> of thy way
<01870>; [yet] saidst <0559> thou not, There is no hope <02976>:
thou hast found <04672> the life <02416> of thine hand <03027>;
therefore thou wast not grieved <02470>.



11 And of whom <04310> hast thou been afraid <01672> or feared
<03372>, that thou hast lied <03576>, and hast not remembered
<02142> me, nor <03808> laid <07760> [it] to thy heart <03820>?
have not I held <02814> my peace <02814> even of old <05769>,
and thou fearest <03372> me not?



12 I will declare <05046> thy righteousness <06666>, and thy
works <04639>; for they shall not profit <03276> thee.



13. When thou criest <02199>, let thy companies deliver <05337>
thee; but the wind <07307> shall carry <05375> them all <03605>
away; vanity <01892> shall take <03947> [them]: but he that
putteth his trust <02620> in me shall possess <05157> the land
<0776>, and shall inherit <03423> my holy < 06944> mountain
<02022>;



14 And shall say <0559>, Cast <05549> ye up, cast <05549> ye up,
prepare <06437> the way <01870>, take <07311> up the
stumblingblock <04383> out of the way <01870> of my people
<05971>.



15 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the high < 07311> and lofty
<05375> One that inhabiteth <07931> eternity < 05703>, whose name
<08034> [is] Holy <06918>; I dwell <07931> in the high <04791>
and holy <06918> [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite
<01793> and humble <08217> spirit <07307>, to revive <02421> the
spirit <07307> of the humble <08217>, and to revive <02421> the
heart <03820> of the contrite <01792> ones.



16 For I will not contend <07378> for ever <05769>, neither
<03808> will I be always <05331> wroth <07107>: for the spirit
<07307> should fail <05848> before <06440> me, and the souls
<05397> [which] I have made <06213>.



17. For the iniquity <05771> of his covetousness < 01215> was I
wroth <07107>, and smote <05221> him: I hid < 05641> me, and was
wroth <07107>, and he went <03212> on frowardly < 07726> in the
way <01870> of his heart <03820>.



18 I have seen <07200> his ways <01870>, and will heal <07495>
him: I will lead <05148> him also, and restore <07999> comforts
<05150> unto him and to his mourners <057>.



19 I create <01254> the fruit <05108> of the lips <08193>;
Peace <07965>, peace <07965> to [him that is] far < 07350> off,
and to [him that is] near <07138>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>;
and I will heal <07495> him.



20 But the wicked <07563> [are] like the troubled < 01644> sea
<03220>, when <03588> it cannot rest <08252>, whose waters
<04325> cast <01644> up mire <07516> and dirt <02916>.



21 [There is] no <0369> peace <07965>, saith < 0559> my God
<0430>, to the wicked <07563>.



Isaiah 58



1. Cry <07121> aloud <01627>, spare <02820> not, lift <07311>
up thy voice <06963> like a trumpet <07782>, and shew <05046> my
people <05971> their transgression <06588>, and the house
<01004> of Jacob <03290> their sins <02403>.



2 Yet they seek <01875> me daily <03117>, and delight <02654>
to know <01847> my ways <01870>, as a nation < 01471> that did
<06213> righteousness <06666>, and forsook < 05800> not the
ordinance <04941> of their God <0430>: they ask < 07592> of me
the ordinances <04941> of justice <06664>; they take delight
<02654> in approaching <07132> to God <0430>.



3. Wherefore <04100> have we fasted <06684>, [say they], and
thou seest <07200> not? [wherefore] have we afflicted < 06031>
our soul <05315>, and thou takest no <03808> knowledge <03045>?
Behold <02005>, in the day <03117> of your fast < 06685> ye find
<04672> pleasure <02656>, and exact <05065> all <03605> your
labours <06092>.



4 Behold <02005>, ye fast <06684> for strife < 07379> and debate
<04683>, and to smite <05221> with the fist < 0106> of wickedness
<07562>: ye shall not fast <06684> as [ye do this] day <03117>,
to make your voice <06963> to be heard <08085> on high <04791>.



5 Is it such <02088> a fast <06685> that I have chosen <0977>?
a day <03117> for a man <0120> to afflict < 06031> his soul
<05315>? [is it] to bow <03721> down his head < 07218> as a
bulrush <0100>, and to spread <03331> sackcloth < 08242> and
ashes <0665> [under him]? wilt thou call <07121> this <02088> a
fast <06685>, and an acceptable <07522> day < 03117> to the LORD
<03068>?



6 [Is] not this <02088> the fast <06685> that I have chosen
<0977>? to loose <06605> the bands <02784> of wickedness <07562>,
to undo <05425> the heavy <04133> burdens <092> , and to let the
oppressed <07533> go <07971> free <02670>, and that ye break
<05423> every <03605> yoke <04133>?



7 [Is it] not to deal <06536> thy bread <03899> to the hungry
<07456>, and that thou bring <0935> the poor < 06041> that are
cast <04788> out to thy house <01004>? when < 03588> thou seest
<07200> the naked <06174>, that thou cover < 03680> him; and that
thou hide <05956> not thyself from thine own flesh < 01320>?



8. Then <0227> shall thy light <0216> break < 01234> forth as
the morning <07837>, and thine health <0724> shall spring
<06779> forth speedily <04120>: and thy righteousness <06664>
shall go <01980> before <06440> thee; the glory < 03519> of the
LORD <03068> shall be thy rereward <0622>.



9 Then <0227> shalt thou call <07121>, and the LORD <03068>
shall answer <06030>; thou shalt cry <07768>, and he shall say
<0559>, Here <02009> I [am]. If thou take < 05493> away <05493>
from the midst <08432> of thee the yoke <04133>, the putting
<07971> forth <07971> of the finger <0676>, and speaking <01696>
vanity <0205>;



10 And [if] thou draw <06329> out thy soul <05315> to the
hungry <07456>, and satisfy <07646> the afflicted < 06031> soul
<05315>; then shall thy light <0216> rise < 02224> in obscurity
<02822>, and thy darkness <0653> [be] as the noonday <06672>:



11 And the LORD <03068> shall guide <05148> thee continually
<08548>, and satisfy <07646> thy soul <05315> in drought <06710>,
and make fat <02502> thy bones <06106>: and thou shalt be like
a watered <07302> garden <01588>, and like a spring <04161> of
water <04325>, whose <0834> waters <04325> fail <03576> not.



12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build <01129> the old
<05769> waste <02723> places: thou shalt raise < 06965> up the
foundations <04146> of many generations <01755>; and thou shalt
be called <07121>, The repairer <01443> of the breach <06556>,
The restorer <07725> of paths <05410> to dwell < 03427> in.



13. If <0518> thou turn <07725> away thy foot < 07272> from the
sabbath <07676>, [from] doing <06213> thy pleasure <02656> on my
holy <06944> day <03117>; and call <07121> the sabbath <07676> a
delight <06027>, the holy <06918> of the LORD < 03068>,
honourable <03513>; and shalt honour <03513> him, not doing
<06213> thine own ways <01870>, nor finding < 04672> thine own
pleasure <02656>, nor speaking <01696> [thine own] words <01697>:



14 Then <0227> shalt thou delight <06026> thyself in the LORD
<03068>; and I will cause thee to ride <07392> upon the high
<01116> places of the earth <0776>, and feed < 0398> thee with
the heritage <05159> of Jacob <03290> thy father < 01>: for the
mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068> hath spoken < 01696> [it].



Isaiah 59



1. Behold <02005>, the LORD'S <03068> hand < 03027> is not
shortened <07114>, that it cannot <03808> save < 03467>; neither
<03808> his ear <0241> heavy <03513>, that it cannot <03808>
hear <08085>:



2 But your iniquities <05771> have separated <0914> between
<0996> you and your God <0430>, and your sins < 02403> have hid
<05641> [his] face <06440> from you, that he will not hear
<08085>.



3 For your hands <03709> are defiled <01351> with blood <01818>,
and your fingers <0676> with iniquity <05771>; your lips
<08193> have spoken <01696> lies <08267>, your tongue <03956>
hath muttered <01897> perverseness <05766>.



4 None <0369> calleth <07121> for justice < 06664>, nor <0369>
[any] pleadeth <08199> for truth <0530>: they trust <0982> in
vanity <08414>, and speak <01696> lies <07723>; they conceive
<02029> mischief <05999>, and bring <03205> forth <03205>
iniquity <0205>.



5 They hatch <01234> cockatrice <06848>' eggs < 01000>, and
weave <0707> the spider's <05908> web <06980>: he that eateth
<0398> of their eggs <01000> dieth <04191>, and that which is
crushed <02116> breaketh <01234> out into a viper < 0660>.



6 Their webs <06980> shall not become <01961> garments <0899>,
neither <03808> shall they cover <03680> themselves with their
works <04639>: their works <04639> [are] works < 04639> of
iniquity <0205>, and the act <06467> of violence < 02555> [is] in
their hands <03709>.



7 Their feet <07272> run <07323> to evil < 07451>, and they make
haste <04116> to shed <08210> innocent <05355> blood <01818>:
their thoughts <04284> [are] thoughts <04284> of iniquity <0205>;
wasting <07701> and destruction <07667> [are] in their paths
<04546>.



8 The way <01870> of peace <07965> they know < 03045> not; and
[there is] no <0369> judgment <04941> in their goings <04570>:
they have made them crooked <06140> paths <05410>: whosoever
<03605> goeth <01869> therein shall not know < 03045> peace
<07965>.



9. Therefore is judgment <04941> far <07368> from us, neither
<03808> doth justice <06666> overtake <05381> us: we wait
<06960> for light <0216>, but behold <02009> obscurity <02822>;
for brightness <05054>, [but] we walk <01980> in darkness <0653>.



10 We grope <01659> for the wall <07023> like the blind <05787>,
and we grope <01659> as if [we had] no <0369> eyes <05869>: we
stumble <03782> at noonday <06672> as in the night <05399>; [we
are] in desolate <0820> places as dead <04191> [men].



11 We roar <01993> all <03605> like bears < 01677>, and mourn
<01897> sore like doves <03123>: we look <06960> for judgment
<04941>, but [there is] none <0369>; for salvation <03444>,
[but] it is far <07368> off from us.



12 For our transgressions <06588> are multiplied < 07231> before
<05048> thee, and our sins <02403> testify < 06030> against us:
for our transgressions <06588> [are] with us; and [as for] our
iniquities <05771>, we know <03045> them;



13 In transgressing <06586> and lying <03584> against the LORD
<03068>, and departing <05253> away from our God < 0430>,
speaking <01696> oppression <06233> and revolt < 05627>,
conceiving <02030> and uttering <01897> from the heart <03820>
words <01697> of falsehood <08267>.



14 And judgment <04941> is turned <05253> away backward <0268>,
and justice <06666> standeth <05975> afar < 07350> off: for truth
<0571> is fallen <03782> in the street <07339>, and equity
<05229> cannot enter <0935>.



15 Yea, truth <0571> faileth <05737>; and he [that] departeth
<05493> from evil <07451> maketh himself a prey < 07997>: and the
LORD <03068> saw <07200> [it], and it displeased him that [there
was] no <0369> judgment <04941>.



16. And he saw <07200> that [there was] no <0369> man <0376>,
and wondered <08074> that [there was] no <0369> intercessor
<06293>: therefore his arm <02220> brought < 03467> salvation
<03467> unto him; and his righteousness <06666>, it sustained
<05564> him.



17 For he put <03847> on righteousness <06666> as a breastplate
<08302>, and an helmet <03553> of salvation < 03444> upon his
head <07218>; and he put <03847> on the garments < 0899> of
vengeance <05359> [for] clothing <08516>, and was clad <05844>
with zeal <07068> as a cloke <04598>.



18 According <05921> to [their] deeds <01578>, accordingly
<05922> he will repay <07999>, fury <02534> to his adversaries
<06862>, recompence <01576> to his enemies < 0341>; to the
islands <0339> he will repay <07999> recompence < 01576>.



19 So shall they fear <03372> the name <08034> of the LORD
<03068> from the west <04628>, and his glory < 03519> from the
rising <04217> of the sun <08121>. When <03588> the enemy
<06862> shall come <0935> in like a flood < 05104>, the Spirit
<07307> of the LORD <03068> shall lift <05127> up a standard
<05127> against him.



20 And the Redeemer <01350> shall come <0935> to Zion <06726>,
and unto them that turn <07725> from transgression < 06588> in
Jacob <03290>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>.



21 As for me, this <02063> [is] my covenant <01285> with them,
saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; My spirit <07307> that [is] upon
thee, and my words <01697> which <0834> I have put <07760> in
thy mouth <06310>, shall not depart <04185> out of thy mouth
<06310>, nor out of the mouth <06310> of thy seed < 02233>, nor
out of the mouth <06310> of thy seed's <02233> seed <02233>,
saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, from henceforth < 03254> and for
ever <05769>.



Isaiah 60



1. Arise <06965>, shine <0215>; for thy light < 0216> is come
<0935>, and the glory <03519> of the LORD < 03068> is risen
<02224> upon thee.



2 For, behold <02009>, the darkness <02822> shall cover <03680>
the earth <0776>, and gross <06205> darkness < 06205> the people
<03816>: but the LORD <03068> shall arise < 02224> upon thee, and
his glory <03519> shall be seen <07200> upon thee.



3 And the Gentiles <01471> shall come <01980> to thy light
<0216>, and kings <04428> to the brightness < 05051> of thy
rising <02225>.



4 Lift <05375> up thine eyes <05869> round < 05439> about, and
see <07200>: all <03605> they gather <06908> themselves together,
they come <0935> to thee: thy sons <01121> shall come <0935>
from far <07350>, and thy daughters <01121> shall be nursed
<0539> at <05921> [thy] side <06654>.



5 Then <0227> thou shalt see, and flow <05102> together, and
thine heart <03824> shall fear <06342>, and be enlarged <07337>;
because <03588> the abundance <01995> of the sea < 03220> shall
be converted <02015> unto thee, the forces <02428> of the
Gentiles <01471> shall come <0935> unto thee.



6 The multitude <08229> of camels <01581> shall cover <03680>
thee, the dromedaries <01070> of Midian <04080> and Ephah
<05891>; all <03605> they from Sheba <07614> shall come <0935>:
they shall bring <05375> gold <02091> and incense < 03828>; and
they shall shew <01319> forth the praises <08416> of the LORD
<03068>.



7 All <03605> the flocks <06629> of Kedar < 06938> shall be
gathered <06908> together unto thee, the rams <0352> of Nebaioth
<05032> shall minister <08334> unto thee: they shall come
<05927> up with acceptance <07522> on <05921> mine altar <04196>,
and I will glorify <06286> the house <01004> of my glory
<08597>.



8 Who <04310> [are] these <0428> [that] fly < 05774> as a cloud
<05645>, and as the doves <03123> to their windows <0699>?



9. Surely <03588> the isles <0339> shall wait < 06960> for me,
and the ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659> first < 07223>, to bring
<0935> thy sons <01121> from far <07350>, their silver <03701>
and their gold <02091> with them, unto the name < 08034> of the
LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, and to the Holy < 06918> One of
Israel <03478>, because <03588> he hath glorified < 06286> thee.



10 And the sons <01121> of strangers <05236> shall build
<01129> up thy walls <02346>, and their kings < 04428> shall
minister <08334> unto thee: for in my wrath <07110> I smote
<05221> thee, but in my favour <07522> have I had mercy <07355>
on thee.



11 Therefore thy gates <08179> shall be open <06605>
continually <08548>; they shall not be shut <05462> day <03119>
nor night <03915>; that [men] may bring <0935> unto thee the
forces <02428> of the Gentiles <01471>, and [that] their kings
<04428> [may be] brought <05090>.



12 For the nation <01471> and kingdom <04467> that will not
serve <05647> thee shall perish <06>; yea, [those] nations
<01471> shall be utterly wasted <02717>.



13 The glory <03519> of Lebanon <03844> shall come <0935> unto
thee, the fir <01265> tree, the pine <08410> tree, and the box
<08391> together <03162>, to beautify <06286> the place <04725>
of my sanctuary <04720>; and I will make <07760> the place
<04725> of my feet <07272> glorious <03513>.



14 The sons <01121> also of them that afflicted < 06031> thee
shall come <01980> bending <07817> unto thee; and all <03605>
they that despised <05006> thee shall bow <07812> themselves
down <07812> at <05921> the soles <03709> of thy feet <07272>;
and they shall call <07121> thee, The city <05892> of the LORD
<03068>, The Zion <06726> of the Holy <06918> One of Israel
<03478>.



15. Whereas <08478> thou hast been <01961> forsaken <05800> and
hated <08130>, so that no <0369> man went < 05674> through
<05674> [thee], I will make <07760> thee an eternal <05769>
excellency <01347>, a joy <04885> of many generations <01755>.



16 Thou shalt also suck <03243> the milk <02461> of the
Gentiles <01471>, and shalt suck <03243> the breast <07699> of
kings <04428>: and thou shalt know <03045> that I the LORD
<03068> [am] thy Saviour <03467> and thy Redeemer < 01350>, the
mighty <046> One of Jacob <03290>.



17 For brass <05178> I will bring <0935> gold < 02091>, and for
iron <01270> I will bring <0935> silver <03701>, and for wood
<06086> brass <05178>, and for stones <068> iron <01270>: I will
also make <07760> thy officers <06486> peace < 07965>, and thine
exactors <05065> righteousness <06666>.



18 Violence <02555> shall no <03808> more < 05750> be heard
<08085> in thy land <0776>, wasting <07701> nor destruction
<07667> within thy borders <01366>; but thou shalt call <07121>
thy walls <02346> Salvation <03444>, and thy gates <08179>
Praise <08416>.



19 The sun <08121> shall be no <03808> more < 05750> thy light
<0216> by day <03117>; neither <03808> for brightness <05051>
shall the moon <03394> give light <0216> unto thee: but the LORD
<03068> shall be unto thee an everlasting <05769> light <0216>,
and thy God <0430> thy glory <08597>.



20 Thy sun <08121> shall no <03808> more < 05750> go <0935> down;
neither <03808> shall thy moon <03391> withdraw < 0622> itself:
for the LORD <03068> shall be thine everlasting < 05769> light
<0216>, and the days <03117> of thy mourning < 060> shall be
ended <07999>.



21 Thy people <05971> also [shall be] all <03605> righteous
<06662>: they shall inherit <03423> the land < 0776> for ever
<05769>, the branch <05342> of my planting < 04302>, the work
<04639> of my hands <03027>, that I may be glorified <06286>.



22 A little <06996> one shall become <01961> a thousand <0505>,
and a small <06810> one a strong <06099> nation < 01471>: I the
LORD <03068> will hasten <02363> it in his time < 06256>.



Isaiah 61



1. The Spirit <07307> of the Lord <0136> GOD < 03069> [is] upon
me; because <03282> the LORD <03068> hath anointed <04886> me to
preach <01319> good <01319> tidings <01319> unto the meek
<06035>; he hath sent <07971> me to bind <02280> up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim <07121> liberty <01865> to the
captives <07628>, and the opening <06495> of the prison <06495>
to [them that are] bound <0631>;



2 To proclaim <07121> the acceptable <07522> year <08141> of
the LORD <03068>, and the day <03117> of vengeance <05359> of
our God <0430>; to comfort <05162> all <03605> that mourn <057>;



3 To appoint <07760> unto them that mourn <057> in Zion <06726>,
to give <05414> unto them beauty <06287> for ashes <0665>, the
oil <08081> of joy <08342> for mourning <060>, the garment
<04594> of praise <08416> for the spirit <07307> of heaviness
<03544>; that they might be called <07121> trees < 0352> of
righteousness <06664>, the planting <04302> of the LORD <03068>,
that he might be glorified <06286>.



4. And they shall build <01129> the old <05769> wastes <02723>,
they shall raise <06965> up the former <07223> desolations
<08074>, and they shall repair <02318> the waste < 02721> cities
<05892>, the desolations <08074> of many <07227> generations
<01755>.



5 And strangers <02114> shall stand <05975> and feed <07462>
your flocks <06629>, and the sons <01121> of the alien <05236>
[shall be] your plowmen <0406> and your vinedressers < 03755>.



6 But ye shall be named <07121> the Priests <03548> of the LORD
<03068>: [men] shall call <07121> you the Ministers <08334> of
our God <0430>: ye shall eat <0398> the riches < 02428> of the
Gentiles <01471>, and in their glory <03519> shall ye boast
<03235> yourselves.



7 For your shame <01322> [ye shall have] double < 04932>; and
[for] confusion <03639> they shall rejoice <07442> in their
portion <02506>: therefore <03651> in their land < 0776> they
shall possess <03423> the double <04932>: everlasting <05769>
joy <08057> shall be unto them.



8 For I the LORD <03068> love <0157> judgment < 04941>, I hate
<08130> robbery <01498> for burnt <05930> offering; and I will
direct <05414> their work <06468> in truth < 0571>, and I will
make <03772> an everlasting <05769> covenant < 01285> with them.



9 And their seed <02233> shall be known <03045> among the
Gentiles <01471>, and their offspring <06631> among <08432> the
people <05971>: all <03605> that see <07200> them shall
acknowledge <05234> them, that they [are] the seed < 02233>
[which] the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288>.



10. I will greatly rejoice <07797> in the LORD < 03068>, my soul
<05315> shall be joyful <01523> in my God <0430> ; for he hath
clothed <03847> me with the garments <0899> of salvation <03468>,
he hath covered <03271> me with the robe <04598> of
righteousness <06666>, as a bridegroom <02860> decketh <03547>
[himself] with ornaments <06287>, and as a bride < 03618>
adorneth <05710> [herself] with her jewels <03627>.



11 For as the earth <0776> bringeth <03318> forth <03318> her
bud <06779>, and as the garden <01593> causeth the things that
are sown <02221> in it to spring <06779> forth; so <03651> the
Lord <0136> GOD <03069> will cause righteousness < 06666> and
praise <08416> to spring <06779> forth before < 05048> all
<03605> the nations <01471>.



Isaiah 62



1. For Zion's sake <04616> will I not hold <02814> my peace
<02814>, and for Jerusalem's <03389> sake < 04616> I will not
rest <08252>, until <05704> the righteousness < 06664> thereof go
<03318> forth <03318> as brightness <05051>, and the salvation
<03444> thereof as a lamp <03940> [that] burneth < 01197>.



2 And the Gentiles <01471> shall see <07200> thy righteousness
<06664>, and all <03605> kings <04428> thy glory <03519>: and
thou shalt be called <07121> by a new <02319> name <08034>,
which <0834> the mouth <06310> of the LORD < 03068> shall name
<08034>.



3 Thou shalt also be a crown <05850> of glory <08597> in the
hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>, and a royal < 04410> diadem
<06797> in the hand <03709> of thy God <0430>.



4 Thou shalt no <03808> more <05750> be termed < 0559> Forsaken
<05800>; neither <03808> shall thy land <0776> any more <05750>
be termed <0559> Desolate <08077>: but thou shalt be called
<07121> Hephzibah <02657>, and thy land <0776> Beulah <01166>:
for the LORD <03068> delighteth <02654> in thee, and thy land
<0776> shall be married <01166>.



5 For [as] a young <0970> man marrieth <01166> a virgin <01330>,
[so] shall thy sons <01121> marry <01166> thee: and [as] the
bridegroom <02860> rejoiceth <04885> over < 05921> the bride
<03618>, [so] shall thy God <0430> rejoice < 07797> over <05921>
thee.



6. I have set <06485> watchmen <08104> upon thy walls <02346>,
O Jerusalem <03389>, [which] shall never <03808> hold <02814>
their peace <02814> day <03117> nor night < 03915>: ye that make
mention <02142> of the LORD <03068>, keep not silence <01824>,



7 And give <05414> him no <0408> rest <01824>, till <05704> he
establish <03559>, and till <05704> he make < 07760> Jerusalem
<03389> a praise <08416> in the earth <0776>.



8 The LORD <03068> hath sworn <07650> by his right <03225> hand
<03225>, and by the arm <02220> of his strength < 05797>, Surely
<0518> I will no <0518> more <05750> give < 05414> thy corn
<01715> [to be] meat <03978> for thine enemies < 0341>; and the
sons <01121> of the stranger <05236> shall not drink <08354> thy
wine <08492>, for the which <0834> thou hast laboured <03021>:



9 But they that have gathered <0622> it shall eat < 0398> it,
and praise <01984> the LORD <03068>; and they that have brought
<06908> it together shall drink <08354> it in the courts <02691>
of my holiness <06944>.



10. Go <05674> through <05674>, go <05674> through the gates
<08179>; prepare <06437> ye the way <01870> of the people
<05971>; cast <05549> up, cast <05549> up the highway <04546>;
gather <05619> out the stones <068>; lift < 07311> up a standard
<05251> for the people <05971>.



11 Behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> hath proclaimed <08085>
unto the end <07097> of the world <0776>, Say < 0559> ye to the
daughter <01323> of Zion <06726>, Behold <02009> , thy salvation
<03468> cometh <0935>; behold <02009>, his reward <07939> [is]
with him, and his work <06468> before <06440> him.



12 And they shall call <07121> them, The holy <06944> people
<05971>, The redeemed <01350> of the LORD < 03068>: and thou
shalt be called <07121>, Sought <01875> out, A city <05892> not
forsaken <05800>.



Isaiah 63



1. Who <04310> [is] this <02088> that cometh < 0935> from Edom
<0123>, with dyed <02556> garments <0899> from Bozrah <01224>?
this <02088> [that is] glorious <01921> in his apparel <03830>,
travelling <06808> in the greatness <07230> of his strength
<03581>? I that speak <01696> in righteousness < 06666>, mighty
<07227> to save <03467>.



2 Wherefore <04069> [art thou] red <0122> in thine apparel
<03830>, and thy garments <0899> like him that treadeth <01869>
in the winefat <01660>?



3 I have trodden <01869> the winepress <06333> alone <0905>;
and of the people <05971> [there was] none with me: for I will
tread <01869> them in mine anger <0639>, and trample <07429>
them in my fury <02534>; and their blood <05332> shall be
sprinkled <05137> upon my garments <0899>, and I will stain
<01351> all <03605> my raiment <04403>.



4 For the day <03117> of vengeance <05359> [is] in mine heart
<03820>, and the year <08141> of my redeemed < 01350> is come
<0935>.



5 And I looked <05027>, and [there was] none <0369> to help
<05826>; and I wondered <08074> that [there was] none <0369> to
uphold <05564>: therefore mine own arm <02220> brought <03467>
salvation <03467> unto me; and my fury <02534>, it upheld
<05564> me.



6 And I will tread <0947> down the people <05971> in mine anger
<0639>, and make them drunk <07937> in my fury < 02534>, and I
will bring <03381> down their strength <05332> to the earth
<0776>.



7. I will mention <02142> the lovingkindnesses < 02617> of the
LORD <03068>, [and] the praises <08416> of the LORD <03068>,
according <05921> to all <03605> that the LORD < 03068> hath
bestowed <01580> on us, and the great <07227> goodness <02898>
toward the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, which < 0834> he hath
bestowed <01580> on them according to his mercies < 07356>, and
according to the multitude <07230> of his lovingkindnesses
<02617>.



8 For he said <0559>, Surely <0389> they [are] my people
<05971>, children <01121> [that] will not lie < 08266>: so he was
their Saviour <03467>.



9 In all <03605> their affliction <06869> he was afflicted
<06862>, and the angel <04397> of his presence < 06440> saved
<03467> them: in his love <0160> and in his pity < 02551> he
redeemed <01350> them; and he bare <05190> them, and carried
<05375> them all <03605> the days <03117> of old <05769>.



10 But they rebelled <04784>, and vexed <06087> his holy
<06944> Spirit <07307>: therefore he was turned < 02015> to be
their enemy <0341>, [and] he fought <03898> against them.



11 Then he remembered <02142> the days <03117> of old <05769>,
Moses <04872>, [and] his people <05971>, [saying], Where <0346>
[is] he that brought <05927> them up out of the sea < 03220> with
the shepherd <07462> of his flock <06629>? where < 0346> [is] he
that put <07760> his holy <06944> Spirit <07307> within <07130>
him?



12 That led <03212> [them] by the right <03225> hand <03225> of
Moses <04872> with his glorious <08597> arm < 02220>, dividing
<01234> the water <04325> before <06440> them, to make <06213>
himself an everlasting <05769> name <08034>?



13 That led <03212> them through the deep <08415>, as an horse
<05483> in the wilderness <04057>, [that] they should not
stumble <03782>?



14 As a beast <0929> goeth <03318> down <03381> into the valley
<01237>, the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> caused him to
rest <05117>: so <03651> didst thou lead <05090> thy people
<05971>, to make <06213> thyself a glorious < 08597> name <08034>.



15. Look <05027> down from heaven <08064>, and behold <07200>
from the habitation <02073> of thy holiness <06944> and of thy
glory <08597>: where <0346> [is] thy zeal < 07068> and thy
strength <01369>, the sounding <01995> of thy bowels <04578> and
of thy mercies <07356> toward <0413> me? are they restrained
<0662>?



16 Doubtless <03588> thou [art] our father <01>, though <03588>
Abraham <085> be ignorant of us, and Israel <03478> acknowledge
<05234> us not: thou, O LORD <03068>, [art] our father <01>, our
redeemer <01350>; thy name <08034> [is] from everlasting <05769>.



17 O LORD <03068>, why <04100> hast thou made us to err <08582>
from thy ways <01870>, [and] hardened <07188> our heart <03820>
from thy fear <03374>? Return <07725> for thy servants <05650>'
sake <04616>, the tribes <07626> of thine inheritance <05159>.



18 The people <05971> of thy holiness <06944> have possessed
<03423> [it] but a little <04705> while <04705>: our adversaries
<06862> have trodden <0947> down thy sanctuary < 04720>.



19 We are [thine]: thou never barest <04910> rule < 04910> over
them; they were not called <07121> by thy name <08034> .



Isaiah 64



1. Oh <03863> that thou wouldest rend <07167> the heavens
<08064>, that thou wouldest come <03381> down < 03381>, that the
mountains <02022> might flow <02151> down at thy presence
<06440>,



2 As [when] the melting <02003> fire <0784> burneth <06919>,
the fire <0784> causeth the waters <04325> to boil <01158>, to
make thy name <08034> known <03045> to thine adversaries <06862>,
[that] the nations <01471> may tremble <07264> at thy presence
<06440>!



3 When thou didst <06213> terrible <03372> things [which] we
looked <06960> not for, thou camest <03381> down < 03381>, the
mountains <02022> flowed <02151> down at thy presence <06440>.



4 For since the beginning <05769> of the world < 05769> [men]
have not heard <08085>, nor <03808> perceived < 0238> by the ear
<0238>, neither <03808> hath the eye <05869> seen <07200>, O God
<0430>, beside <02108> thee, [what] he hath prepared <06213> for
him that waiteth <02442> for him.



5 Thou meetest <06293> him that rejoiceth <07797> and worketh
<06213> righteousness <06664>, [those that] remember <02142>
thee in thy ways <01870>: behold <02005>, thou art wroth <07107>;
for we have sinned <02398>: in those <01992> is continuance
<05769>, and we shall be saved <03467>.



6. But we are all <03605> as an unclean <02931> [thing], and
all <03605> our righteousnesses <06666> [are] as filthy <05708>
rags <0899>; and we all <03605> do fade <05034> as a leaf
<05929>; and our iniquities <05771>, like the wind <07307>, have
taken <05375> us away.



7 And [there is] none <0369> that calleth <07121> upon thy name
<08034>, that stirreth <05782> up himself to take < 02388> hold
<02388> of thee: for thou hast hid <05641> thy face <06440> from
us, and hast consumed <04127> us, because <03027> of our
iniquities <05771>.



8 But now <06258>, O LORD <03068>, thou [art] our father <01>;
we [are] the clay <02563>, and thou our potter <03335> ; and we
all <03605> [are] the work <04639> of thy hand < 03027>.



9 Be not wroth <07107> very <03966> sore < 03966>, O LORD
<03068>, neither <0408> remember <02142> iniquity <05771> for
ever <05703>: behold <02005>, see <05027>, we beseech <04994>
thee, we [are] all <03605> thy people <05971>.



10 Thy holy <06944> cities <05892> are a wilderness <04057>,
Zion <06726> is a wilderness <04057>, Jerusalem < 03389> a
desolation <08077>.



11 Our holy <06944> and our beautiful <08597> house <01004>,
where <0834> our fathers <01> praised <01984> thee, is burned
<08316> up with fire <0784>: and all <03605> our pleasant
<04261> things are laid waste <02723>.



12 Wilt thou refrain <0662> thyself for these <0428> [things],
O LORD <03068>? wilt thou hold <02814> thy peace < 02814>, and
afflict <06031> us very <03966> sore <03966>?



Isaiah 65



1. I am sought <01875> of [them that] asked <07592> not [for
me]; I am found <04672> of [them that] sought <01245> me not: I
said <0559>, Behold <02009> me, behold <02009> me, unto a nation
<01471> [that] was not called <07121> by my name < 08034>.



2 I have spread <06566> out my hands <03027> all < 03605> the
day <03117> unto a rebellious <05637> people < 05971>, which
walketh <01980> in a way <01870> [that was] not good <02896>,
after <0310> their own thoughts <04284>;



3 A people <05971> that provoketh me to anger <03707>
continually <08548> to my face <06440>; that sacrificeth <02076>
in gardens <01593>, and burneth <06999> incense < 06999> upon
altars of brick <03843>;



4 Which remain <03427> among the graves <06913>, and lodge
<03885> in the monuments <05341>, which eat < 0398> swine's
<02386> flesh <01320>, and broth <06564> of abominable <06292>
[things is in] their vessels <03627>;



5 Which <0834> say <0559>, Stand <07126> by thyself, come
<05066> not near <05066> to me; for I am holier < 06942> than
thou. These <0428> [are] a smoke <06227> in my nose <0639>, a
fire <0784> that burneth <03344> all <03605> the day <03117>.



6 Behold <02009>, [it is] written <03789> before < 06440> me: I
will not keep silence <02814>, but will recompense < 07999>, even
recompense into <05921> their bosom <02436>,



7 Your iniquities <05771>, and the iniquities <05771> of your
fathers <01> together <03162>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>,
which <0834> have burned <06999> incense <06999> upon the
mountains <02022>, and blasphemed <02778> me upon the hills
<01389>: therefore will I measure <04058> their former <07223>
work <06468> into <05921> their bosom <02436>.



8. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, As the new
<08492> wine <08492> is found <04672> in the cluster <0811>, and
[one] saith <0559>, Destroy <07843> it not; for a blessing
<01293> [is] in it: so <03651> will I do <06213> for my servants
<05650>' sakes <06616>, that I may not destroy < 07843> them all
<03605>.



9 And I will bring <03318> forth <03318> a seed < 02233> out of
Jacob <03290>, and out of Judah <03063> an inheritor <03423> of
my mountains <02022>: and mine elect <0972> shall inherit
<03423> it, and my servants <05650> shall dwell < 07931> there
<08033>.



10 And Sharon <08289> shall be a fold <05116> of flocks <06629>,
and the valley <06010> of Achor <05911> a place for the herds
<01241> to lie <07258> down <07257> in, for my people <05971>
that have sought <01875> me.



11. But ye [are] they that forsake <05800> the LORD < 03068>,
that forget <07913> my holy <06944> mountain < 02022>, that
prepare <06186> a table <07979> for that troop < 01409>, and that
furnish <04390> the drink <04469> offering unto that number
<04507>.



12 Therefore will I number <04487> you to the sword < 02719>,
and ye shall all <03605> bow <03766> down < 03766> to the
slaughter <02875>: because <03282> when I called < 07121>, ye did
not answer <06030>; when I spake <01696>, ye did < 06213> not
hear <08085>; but did evil <07451> before mine eyes <05869>, and
did <06213> choose <0977> [that] wherein <0834> I delighted
<02654> not.



13 Therefore <03651> thus <03541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>
GOD <03069>, Behold <02009>, my servants <05650> shall eat
<0398>, but ye shall be hungry <07456>: behold < 02009>, my
servants <05650> shall drink <08354>, but ye shall be thirsty
<06770>: behold <02009>, my servants <05650> shall rejoice
<08055>, but ye shall be ashamed <0954>:



14 Behold <02009>, my servants <05650> shall sing <07442> for
joy <02898> of heart <03820>, but ye shall cry < 06817> for
sorrow <03511> of heart <03820>, and shall howl < 03213> for
vexation <07667> of spirit <07307>.



15 And ye shall leave <03241> your name <08034> for a curse
<07621> unto my chosen <0977>: for the Lord < 0136> GOD <03069>
shall slay <04191> thee, and call <07121> his servants <05650>
by another <0312> name <08034>:



16 That he who <0834> blesseth <01288> himself in the earth
<0776> shall bless <01288> himself in the God < 0430> of truth
<0548>; and he that sweareth <07650> in the earth < 0776> shall
swear <07650> by the God <0430> of truth <0548>; because <03588>
the former <07223> troubles <06869> are forgotten < 07911>, and
because <03588> they are hid <05641> from mine eyes <05869>.



17. For, behold <02005>, I create <01254> new < 02319> heavens
<08064> and a new <02319> earth <0776>: and the former <07223>
shall not be remembered <02142>, nor <03808> come < 05927> into
<05921> mind <03820>.



18 But be ye glad <07796> and rejoice <01523> for ever <05703>
[in that] which <0834> I create <01254>: for, behold <02005>, I
create <01254> Jerusalem <03389> a rejoicing < 01525>, and her
people <05971> a joy <04885>.



19 And I will rejoice <01523> in Jerusalem <03389>, and joy
<07796> in my people <05971>: and the voice < 06963> of weeping
<01065> shall be no <03808> more <05750> heard <08085> in her,
nor the voice <06963> of crying <02201>.



20 There shall be no <03808> more <05750> thence < 08033> an
infant <05764> of days <03117>, nor an old < 02205> man that hath
not filled <04390> his days <03117>: for the child <05288> shall
die <04191> an hundred <03967> years <08141> old <01121>; but
the sinner <02398> [being] an hundred <03967> years <08141> old
<01121> shall be accursed <07043>.



21 And they shall build <01129> houses <01004>, and inhabit
<03427> [them]; and they shall plant <05193> vineyards <03754>,
and eat <0398> the fruit <06529> of them.



22 They shall not build <01129>, and another <0312> inhabit
<03427>; they shall not plant <05193>, and another <0312> eat
<0398>: for as the days <03117> of a tree < 06086> [are] the days
<03117> of my people <05971>, and mine elect < 0972> shall long
enjoy <01086> the work <04639> of their hands < 03027>.



23 They shall not labour <03021> in vain <07385>, nor <03808>
bring <03205> forth <03205> for trouble <0928>; for they [are]
the seed <02233> of the blessed <01288> of the LORD <03068>, and
their offspring <06631> with them.



24 And it shall come <01961> to pass, that before < 02962> they
call <07121>, I will answer <06030>; and while they are yet
<05750> speaking <01696>, I will hear <08085>.



25 The wolf <02061> and the lamb <02924> shall feed <07462>
together <0259>, and the lion <0738> shall eat < 0398> straw
<08401> like the bullock <01241>: and dust < 06083> [shall be]
the serpent's <05175> meat <03899>. They shall not hurt <07489>
nor <03808> destroy <07843> in all <03605> my holy <06944>
mountain <02022>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>.



Isaiah 66



1. Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, The heaven
<08064> [is] my throne <03678>, and the earth < 0776> [is] my
footstool: where <0335> [is] the house <01004> that ye build
<01129> unto me? and where <0335> [is] the place < 04725> of my
rest <04496>?



2 For all <03605> those <0428> [things] hath mine hand <03027>
made <06213>, and all <03605> those <0428> [things] have been
<01961>, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>: but to this <02088>
[man] will I look <05027>, [even] to [him that is] poor < 06041>
and of a contrite <05223> spirit <07307>, and trembleth <02730>
at <05921> my word <01697>.



3 He that killeth <07819> an ox <07794> [is as if] he slew
<05221> a man <0376>; he that sacrificeth < 02076> a lamb <07716>,
[as if] he cut off a dog's <03611> neck <06202>; he that
offereth <05927> an oblation <04503>, [as if he offered <05927>]
swine's <02386> blood <01818>; he that burneth < 02142> incense
<03828>, [as if] he blessed <01288> an idol < 0205>. Yea <01571>,
they have chosen <0977> their own ways <01870>, and their soul
<05315> delighteth <02654> in their abominations < 08251>.



4 I also <01571> will choose <0977> their delusions <08586>,
and will bring <0935> their fears <04035> upon them; because
<03282> when I called <07121>, none <0369> did answer <06030>;
when I spake <01696>, they did not hear <08085>: but they did
<06213> evil <07451> before mine eyes <05869>, and chose <0977>
[that] in which <0834> I delighted <02654> not.



5. Hear <08085> the word <01697> of the LORD < 03068>, ye that
tremble <02730> at <0413> his word <01697>; Your brethren <0251>
that hated <08130> you, that cast <05077> you out for my name's
<08034> sake <04616>, said <0559>, Let the LORD <03068> be
glorified <03513>: but he shall appear <07200> to your joy
<08057>, and they shall be ashamed <0954>.



6 A voice <06963> of noise <07588> from the city < 05892>, a
voice <06963> from the temple <01964>, a voice < 06963> of the
LORD <03068> that rendereth <07999> recompence < 01576> to his
enemies <0341>.



7 Before <02962> she travailed <02342>, she brought <03205>
forth <03205>; before <02962> her pain <02256> came <0935>, she
was delivered <04422> of a man <02145> child.



8 Who <04310> hath heard <08085> such <02063> a thing? who
<0834> hath seen <07200> such <0428> things? Shall the earth
<0776> be made to bring <02342> forth <02342> in one <0259> day
<03117>? [or] shall a nation <01471> be born < 03205> at once
<06471>? for as soon <01571> as Zion <06726> travailed <02342>,
she brought <03205> forth <03205> her children < 01121>.



9 Shall I bring <07665> to the birth <07665>, and not cause to
bring <03205> forth <03205>? saith <0559> the LORD <03068>:
shall I cause to bring <03205> forth <03205>, and shut <06113>
[the womb]? saith <0559> thy God <0430>.



10 Rejoice <08055> ye with Jerusalem <03389>, and be glad
<01528> with her, all <03605> ye that love < 0157> her: rejoice
<07797> for joy <04885> with her, all <03605> ye that mourn
<056> for her:



11 That ye may suck <03243>, and be satisfied <07646> with the
breasts <07699> of her consolations <08575>; that ye may milk
<04711> out, and be delighted <06026> with the abundance <02123>
of her glory <03519>.



12 For thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD < 03068>, Behold
<02005>, I will extend <05186> peace <07965> to her like a river
<05104>, and the glory <03519> of the Gentiles < 01471> like a
flowing <07857> stream <05158>: then shall ye suck <03243>, ye
shall be borne <05375> upon [her] sides <06654>, and be dandled
<08173> upon [her] knees <01290>.



13 As one <0376> whom <0834> his mother <0517> comforteth
<05162>, so <03651> will I comfort <05162> you; and ye shall be
comforted <05162> in Jerusalem <03389>.



14 And when ye see <07200> [this], your heart <03820> shall
rejoice <07797>, and your bones <06106> shall flourish <06524>
like an herb <01877>: and the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>
shall be known <03045> toward <0854> his servants < 05650>, and
[his] indignation <02194> toward <0854> his enemies <0341>.



15. For, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> will come <0935> with
fire <0784>, and with his chariots <04818> like a whirlwind
<05492>, to render <07725> his anger <0639> with fury <02534>,
and his rebuke <01606> with flames <03851> of fire <0784>.



16 For by fire <0784> and by his sword <02719> will the LORD
<03068> plead <08199> with all <03605> flesh <01320>: and the
slain <02491> of the LORD <03068> shall be many < 07231>.



17 They that sanctify <06942> themselves, and purify < 02891>
themselves in the gardens <01593> behind <0310> one <0259>
[tree] in the midst <08432>, eating <0398> swine's <02386> flesh
<01320>, and the abomination <08263>, and the mouse <05909>,
shall be consumed <05486> together <03162>, saith < 05002> the
LORD <03068>.



18 For I [know] their works <04639> and their thoughts < 04284>:
it shall come <0935>, that I will gather <06908> all <03605>
nations <01471> and tongues <03956>; and they shall come <0935>,
and see <07200> my glory <03519>.



19 And I will set <07760> a sign <0226> among them, and I will
send <07971> those <01992> that escape <06412> of them unto the
nations <01471>, [to] Tarshish <08659>, Pul < 06322>, and Lud
<03865>, that draw <04900> the bow <07198>, [to] Tubal <08422>,
and Javan <03120>, [to] the isles <0339> afar < 07350> off, that
have not heard <08085> my fame <08088>, neither < 03808> have
seen <07200> my glory <03519>; and they shall declare <05046> my
glory <03519> among the Gentiles <01471>.



20 And they shall bring <0935> all <03605> your brethren <0251>
[for] an offering <04503> unto the LORD <03068> out of all
<03605> nations <01471> upon horses <05483>, and in chariots
<07393>, and in litters <06632>, and upon mules < 06505>, and
upon swift <03753> beasts <03753>, to my holy < 06944> mountain
<02022> Jerusalem <03389>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>, as the
children <01121> of Israel <03478> bring <0935> an offering
<04503> in a clean <02889> vessel <03627> into the house <01004>
of the LORD <03068>.



21 And I will also <01571> take <03947> of them for priests
<03548> [and] for Levites <03881>, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>.



22 For as the new <02319> heavens <08064> and the new <02319>
earth <0776>, which <0834> I will make <06213>, shall remain
<05975> before <06440> me, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, so
<03651> shall your seed <02233> and your name < 08034> remain
<05975>.



23 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] from one new
<02320> moon <02320> to another, and from one sabbath <07676> to
another, shall all <03605> flesh <01320> come < 0935> to worship
<07812> before <06440> me, saith <0559> the LORD <03068>.



24 And they shall go <03318> forth <03318>, and look <07200>
upon the carcases <06297> of the men <0582> that have
transgressed <06586> against me: for their worm < 08438> shall
not die <04191>, neither <03808> shall their fire < 0784> be
quenched <03518>; and they shall be an abhorring < 01860> unto
all <03605> flesh <01320>.
