Isaiah 1





1. The vision <2377> of Isaiah <3470> the son < 1121> of Amoz
<0531>, which <0834> he saw <2372> concerning <5921> Judah
<3063> and Jerusalem <3389> in the days <3117> of Uzziah <5818>,
Jotham <3147>, Ahaz <0271>, [and] Hezekiah < 2396>, kings <4428>
of Judah <3063>.



2. Hear <8085>, O heavens <8064>, and give ear < 0238>, O earth
<0776>: for the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>, I have nourished
<1431> and brought <7311> up children <1121>, and they have
rebelled <6586> against me.



3 The ox <7794> knoweth <3045> his owner <7069> , and the ass
<2543> his master's <1167> crib <18>: [but] Israel <3478> doth
not know <3045>, my people <5971> doth not consider <0995>.



4 Ah <1945> sinful <2398> nation <1471>, a people <5971> laden
<3515> with iniquity <5771>, a seed <2233> of evildoers <7489>,
children <1121> that are corrupters <7843>: they have forsaken
<5800> the LORD <3068>, they have provoked < 5006> the Holy
<6918> One of Israel <3478> unto anger <5006>, they are gone
<2114> away backward <0268>.



5 Why should ye be stricken <5221> any more <5750>? ye will
revolt <5627> more and more: the whole <3605> head <7218> is
sick <2483>, and the whole <3605> heart <3824> faint <1742>.



6 From the sole <3709> of the foot <7272> even unto the head
<7218> [there is] no <0369> soundness <4974> in it; [but] wounds
<6482>, and bruises <2250>, and putrifying < 2961> sores <4347>:
they have not been closed <2115>, neither <3808> bound <2280> up,
neither <3808> mollified <7401> with ointment < 8081>.



7 Your country <0776> [is] desolate <8077>, your cities <5892>
[are] burned <8313> with fire <0784>: your land < 0127>,
strangers <2114> devour <0398> it in your presence <5048>, and
[it is] desolate <8077>, as overthrown <4114> by strangers
<2114>.



8 And the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726> is left < 3498> as a
cottage <5521> in a vineyard <3754>, as a lodge < 4412> in a
garden of cucumbers <4750>, as a besieged <5341> city <5892>.



9 Except <3884> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> had left <3498>
unto us a very <4592> small <4592> remnant < 8300>, we should
have been <1961> as Sodom <5467>, [and] we should have been like
<1819> unto Gomorrah <6017>.



10. Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068>, ye rulers
<7101> of Sodom <5467>; give ear <0238> unto the law <8451> of
our God <0430>, ye people <5971> of Gomorrah < 6017>.



11 To what <4100> purpose [is] the multitude <7230> of your
sacrifices <2077> unto me? saith <0559> the LORD < 3068>: I am
full <7646> of the burnt <5930> offerings of rams < 0352>, and
the fat <2459> of fed <4806> beasts <4806>; and I delight <2654>
not in the blood <1818> of bullocks <6499>, or of lambs <3532>,
or of he goats <6260>.



12 When <3588> ye come <0935> to appear <7200> before <6440> me,
who <4310> hath required <1245> this <2063> at your hand <3027>,
to tread <7429> my courts <2691>?



13 Bring <0935> no <3808> more <5750> vain < 7723> oblations
<4503>; incense <7004> is an abomination <8441> unto me; the new
<2320> moons <2320> and sabbaths <7676>, the calling <7121> of
assemblies <4744>, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity < 0205>,
even the solemn <2282> meeting <6116>.



14 Your new <2320> moons <2320> and your appointed <4150>
feasts my soul <5315> hateth <8130>: they are a trouble <2960>
unto me; I am weary <3811> to bear <5375> [them].



15 And when ye spread <6566> forth your hands <3709>, I will
hide <5956> mine eyes <5869> from you: yea < 1571>, when <3588>
ye make many <7235> prayers <8605>, I will not hear <8085>: your
hands <3027> are full <4390> of blood <1818>.



16. Wash <7364> you, make you clean <2135>; put < 5493> away
<5493> the evil <7455> of your doings <4611> from before <5048>
mine eyes <5869>; cease <2308> to do evil <7489> ;



17 Learn <3925> to do well <3190>; seek <1875> judgment <4941>,
relieve <0833> the oppressed <2541>, judge < 8199> the fatherless
<3490>, plead <7378> for the widow <0490>.



18 Come <3212> now <4994>, and let us reason < 3198> together,
saith <0559> the LORD <3068>: though <0518> your sins <2399> be
as scarlet <8144>, they shall be as white <3835> as snow <7950>;
though <0518> they be red <0119> like <1819> crimson <8438>,
they shall be as wool <6785>.



19 If <0518> ye be willing <14> and obedient < 8085>, ye shall
eat <0398> the good <2898> of the land <0776>:



20 But if <0518> ye refuse <3985> and rebel < 4784>, ye shall be
devoured <0398> with the sword <2719>: for the mouth <6310> of
the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696> [it].



21. How <0349> is the faithful <0539> city < 7151> become <1961>
an harlot <2181>! it was full <4392> of judgment < 4941>;
righteousness <6664> lodged <3885> in it; but now < 6258>
murderers <7523>.



22 Thy silver <3701> is become <1961> dross < 5509>, thy wine
<5435> mixed <4107> with water <4325>:



23 Thy princes <8269> [are] rebellious <5637>, and companions
<2270> of thieves <1590>: every <3605> one loveth <0157> gifts
<7810>, and followeth <7291> after rewards < 8021>: they judge
<8199> not the fatherless <3490>, neither <3808> doth the cause
<7379> of the widow <0490> come <0935> unto them.



24 Therefore <3651> saith <5002> the Lord < 0113>, the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635>, the mighty <46> One of Israel <3478>, Ah
<1945>, I will ease <5162> me of mine adversaries < 6862>, and
avenge <5358> me of mine enemies <0341>:



25 And I will turn <7725> my hand <3027> upon thee, and purely
<1252> purge <6884> away thy dross <5509>, and take <5493> away
<5493> all <3605> thy tin <0913>:



26 And I will restore <7725> thy judges <8199> as at the first
<7223>, and thy counsellors <3289> as at the beginning <8462>:
afterward thou shalt be called <7121>, The city <5892> of
righteousness <6664>, the faithful <0539> city < 7151>.



27 Zion <6726> shall be redeemed <6299> with judgment <4941>,
and her converts <7725> with righteousness <6666>.



28 And the destruction <7667> of the transgressors < 6586> and
of the sinners <2400> [shall be] together <3162>, and they that
forsake <5800> the LORD <3068> shall be consumed < 3615>.



29 For they shall be ashamed <0954> of the oaks < 0352> which
<0834> ye have desired <2530>, and ye shall be confounded <2659>
for the gardens <1593> that ye have chosen <0977>.



30 For ye shall be as an oak <0424> whose leaf <5929> fadeth
<5034>, and as a garden <1593> that hath no < 0369> water <4325>.



31 And the strong <2634> shall be as tow <5296>, and the maker
<6467> of it as a spark <5213>, and they shall both <8147> burn
<1197> together <3162>, and none <0369> shall quench <3518>
[them].



Isaiah 2



1. The word <1697> that Isaiah <3470> the son < 1121> of Amoz
<0531> saw <2372> concerning <5921> Judah < 3063> and Jerusalem
<3389>.



2 And it shall come <1961> to pass in the last <0319> days
<3117>, [that] the mountain <2022> of the LORD'S < 3068> house
<1004> shall be established <3559> in the top < 7218> of the
mountains <2022>, and shall be exalted <5375> above the hills
<1389>; and all <3605> nations <1471> shall flow <5102> unto it.



3 And many <7227> people <5971> shall go <1980> and say <0559>,
Come <3212> ye, and let us go <5927> up to the mountain <2022>
of the LORD <3068>, to the house <1004> of the God <0430> of
Jacob <3290>; and he will teach <3384> us of his ways <1870>,
and we will walk <3212> in his paths <0734>: for out of Zion
<6726> shall go <3318> forth <3318> the law < 8451>, and the word
<1697> of the LORD <3068> from Jerusalem <3389>.



4 And he shall judge <8199> among <0996> the nations <1471>,
and shall rebuke <3198> many <7227> people < 5971>: and they
shall beat <3807> their swords <2719> into plowshares <0855>,
and their spears <2595> into pruninghooks <4211>: nation <1471>
shall not lift <5375> up sword <2719> against < 0413> nation
<1471>, neither <3808> shall they learn <3925> war <4421> any
more <5750>.



5 O house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, come <3212> ye, and let us
walk <3212> in the light <0216> of the LORD < 3068>.



6. Therefore thou hast forsaken <5203> thy people < 5971> the
house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, because <3588> they be replenished
<4390> from the east <6924>, and [are] soothsayers <6049> like
the Philistines <6430>, and they please <5606> themselves in the
children <3206> of strangers <5237>.



7 Their land <0776> also is full <4390> of silver <3701> and
gold <2091>, neither <3808> [is there any] end < 7097> of their
treasures <0214>; their land <0776> is also full < 4390> of
horses <5483>, neither <3808> [is there any] end < 7097> of their
chariots <4818>:



8 Their land <0776> also is full <4390> of idols < 0457>; they
worship <7812> the work <4639> of their own hands < 3027>, that
which <0834> their own fingers <0676> have made < 6213>:



9 And the mean <0120> man <1201> boweth <7817> down <7817>, and
the great man <0376> humbleth <8213> himself: therefore forgive
<5375> them not.



10. Enter <0935> into the rock <6697>, and hide < 2934> thee in
the dust <6083>, for fear <6343> of the LORD < 3068>, and for the
glory <1926> of his majesty <1347>.



11 The lofty <1365> looks <5869> of man <0120> shall be humbled
<8213>, and the haughtiness <7312> of men <0582> shall be bowed
<7817> down <7817>, and the LORD <3068> alone <0905> shall be
exalted <7682> in that day <3117>.



12 For the day <3117> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [shall
be] upon every <3605> [one that is] proud <1343> and lofty
<7311>, and upon every <3605> [one that is] lifted <5375> up;
and he shall be brought <8213> low <8213>:



13 And upon all <3605> the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <3844>,
[that are] high <7311> and lifted <5375> up, and upon all <3605>
the oaks <0437> of Bashan <1316>,



14 And upon all <3605> the high <7311> mountains < 2022>, and
upon all <3605> the hills <1389> [that are] lifted <5375> up,



15 And upon every <3605> high <1364> tower < 4026>, and upon
every <3605> fenced <1219> wall <2346>,



16 And upon all <3605> the ships <0591> of Tarshish <8659>, and
upon all <3605> pleasant <2532> pictures <7914>.



17 And the loftiness <1365> of man <0120> shall be bowed <7817>
down <7817>, and the haughtiness <7312> of men < 0582> shall be
made low <8213>: and the LORD <3068> alone < 0905> shall be
exalted <7682> in that day <3117>.



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



19 And they shall go <0935> into the holes <4631> of the rocks
<6697>, and into the caves <4247> of the earth < 6083>, for fear
<6343> of the LORD <3068>, and for the glory < 1926> of his
majesty <1347>, when he ariseth <6965> to shake < 6206> terribly
<6206> the earth <0776>.



20 In that day <3117> a man <0120> shall cast < 7993> his idols
<0457> of silver <3701>, and his idols <0457> of gold <2091>,
which <0834> they made [each one] for himself to worship <7812>,
to the moles <2661> and to the bats <5847>;



21 To go <0935> into the clefts <5366> of the rocks <6697>, and
into the tops <5585> of the ragged rocks <5553>, for fear <6343>
of the LORD <3068>, and for the glory <1926> of his majesty
<1347>, when he ariseth <6965> to shake <6206> terribly <6206>
the earth <0776>.



22 Cease <2308> ye from man <0120>, whose < 0834> breath <5397>
[is] in his nostrils <0639>: for wherein <4100> is he to be
accounted <2803> of?



Isaiah 3



1. For, behold <2009>, the Lord <0113>, the LORD < 3068> of
hosts <6635>, doth take <5493> away <5493> from Jerusalem <3389>
and from Judah <3063> the stay <4937> and the staff <4938>, the
whole <3605> stay <8172> of bread <3899>, and the whole <3605>
stay <4937> of water <4325>,



2 The mighty <1368> man, and the man <0376> of war <4421>, the
judge <8199>, and the prophet <5030>, and the prudent <7080>,
and the ancient <2204>,



3 The captain <8269> of fifty <2572>, and the honourable man,
and the counsellor <3289>, and the cunning <2450> artificer
<2796>, and the eloquent <0995> orator <3908>.



4 And I will give <5414> children <5288> [to be] their princes
<8269>, and babes <8586> shall rule <4910> over them.



5 And the people <5971> shall be oppressed <5065>, every <0376>
one <0376> by another, and every <0376> one < 0376> by his
neighbour <7453>: the child <5288> shall behave < 7292> himself
proudly <7292> against the ancient <2204>, and the base <7034>
against the honourable <3519>.



6 When <3588> a man <0376> shall take <8610> hold <8610> of his
brother <0251> of the house <1004> of his father < 1>, [saying],
Thou hast clothing <8071>, be thou our ruler <7101>, and [let]
this <2063> ruin <4384> [be] under <8478> thy hand <3027>:



7 In that day <3117> shall he swear <5375>, saying <0559>, I
will not be an healer <2280>; for in my house <1004> [is]
neither <0369> bread <3899> nor <0369> clothing <8071>: make
<7760> me not a ruler <7101> of the people < 5971>.



8 For Jerusalem <3389> is ruined <3782>, and Judah <3063> is
fallen <5307>: because <3588> their tongue < 3956> and their
doings <4611> [are] against <0413> the LORD < 3068>, to provoke
<4784> the eyes <5869> of his glory <3519>.



9. The shew <1971> of their countenance <6440> doth witness
<5707> against them; and they declare <5046> their sin <2403> as
Sodom <5467>, they hide <3582> [it] not. Woe < 0188> unto their
soul <5315>! for they have rewarded <1580> evil < 7451> unto
themselves <1992>.



10 Say <0559> ye to the righteous <6662>, that [it shall be]
well <2896> [with him]: for they shall eat <0398> the fruit
<6529> of their doings <4611>.



11 Woe <0188> unto the wicked <7563>! [it shall be] ill <7451>
[with him]: for the reward <1576> of his hands <3027> shall be
given <6213> him.



12 [As for] my people <5971>, children <5768> [are] their
oppressors <5065>, and women <0802> rule <4910> over them. O my
people <5971>, they which lead <0833> thee cause [thee] to err
<8582>, and destroy <1104> the way <1870> of thy paths <0734>.



13 The LORD <3068> standeth <5324> up to plead < 7378>, and
standeth <5975> to judge <1777> the people < 5971>.



14 The LORD <3068> will enter <0935> into judgment <4941> with
the ancients <2204> of his people <5971>, and the princes <8269>
thereof: for ye have eaten <0398> up the vineyard < 3754>; the
spoil <1500> of the poor <6041> [is] in your houses <1004>.



15 What <4100> mean ye [that] ye beat <1792> my people <5971>
to pieces, and grind <2912> the faces <6440> of the poor <6041>?
saith <5002> the Lord <3068> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>.



16. Moreover the LORD <3068> saith <0559>, Because the
daughters <1121> of Zion <6726> are haughty < 1361>, and walk
<3212> with stretched <5186> forth necks <1627> and wanton
<8265> eyes <5869>, walking <1980> and mincing <2952> [as] they
go <3212>, and making a tinkling <5913> with their feet <7272>:



17 Therefore the Lord <0136> will smite <5596> with a scab
<5597> the crown <6936> of the head <6936> of the daughters
<1121> of Zion <6726>, and the LORD <3068> will discover <6168>
their secret <6596> parts.



18 In that day <3117> the Lord <0136> will take < 5493> away
<5493> the bravery <8597> of [their] tinkling ornaments <5914>
[about their feet], and [their] cauls <7636>, and [their] round
<7720> tires <7720> like the moon,



19 The chains <5188>, and the bracelets <8285>, and the
mufflers <7479>,



20 The bonnets <6287>, and the ornaments <6807> of the legs
<6807>, and the headbands <7196>, and the tablets, and the
earrings <3908>,



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



22 The changeable <4254> suits of apparel <4254>, and the
mantles <4595>, and the wimples <4304>, and the crisping <2754>
pins,



23 The glasses <1549>, and the fine linen <5466>, and the hoods
<6797>, and the vails <7289>.



24 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] instead < 8478> of
sweet <1314> smell <1314> there shall be stink < 4716>; and
instead <8478> of a girdle <2290> a rent <5364>; and instead
<8478> of well <4639> set hair <4748> baldness <7144>; and
instead <8478> of a stomacher <6614> a girding < 4228> of
sackcloth <8242>; [and] burning <3587> instead < 8478> of beauty
<3308>.



25 Thy men <4962> shall fall <5307> by the sword < 2719>, and
thy mighty <1369> in the war <4421>.



26 And her gates <6607> shall lament <0578> and mourn <56>; and
she [being] desolate <5352> shall sit <3427> upon the ground
<0776>.



Isaiah 4



1. And in that day <3117> seven <7651> women < 0802> shall take
<2388> hold <2388> of one <0259> man < 0376>, saying <0559>, We
will eat <0398> our own bread <3899>, and wear < 3847> our own
apparel <8071>: only <7535> let us be called < 7121> by thy name
<8034>, to take <0622> away our reproach <2781>.



2. In that day <3117> shall the branch <6780> of the LORD
<3068> be beautiful <6643> and glorious <3519>, and the fruit
<6529> of the earth <0776> [shall be] excellent < 1347> and
comely <8597> for them that are escaped <6413> of Israel <3478>.



3 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that he that is] left
<7604> in Zion <6726>, and [he that] remaineth < 3498> in
Jerusalem <3389>, shall be called <0559> holy < 6918>, [even]
every <3605> one that is written <3789> among the living <2416>
in Jerusalem <3389>:



4 When <0518> the Lord <0136> shall have washed < 7364> away the
filth <6675> of the daughters <1121> of Zion < 6726>, and shall
have purged <1740> the blood <1818> of Jerusalem < 3389> from the
midst <7130> thereof by the spirit <7307> of judgment <4941>,
and by the spirit <7307> of burning <1197>.



5 And the LORD <3068> will create <1254> upon every <3605>
dwelling <4349> place of mount <2022> Zion < 6726>, and upon her
assemblies <4744>, a cloud <6051> and smoke < 6227> by day <3119>,
and the shining <5051> of a flaming <3852> fire < 0784> by night
<3915>: for upon all <3605> the glory <3519> [shall be] a
defence <2646>.



6 And there shall be a tabernacle <5521> for a shadow < 6738> in
the daytime <3119> from the heat <2721>, and for a place of
refuge <4268>, and for a covert <4563> from storm < 2230> and
from rain <4306>.



Isaiah 5



1. Now <4994> will I sing <7891> to my wellbeloved <3039> a
song <7892> of my beloved <1730> touching his vineyard <3754>.
My wellbeloved <3039> hath a vineyard <3754> in a very fruitful
hill <7161>:



2 And he fenced <5823> it, and gathered out the stones < 5619>
thereof, and planted <5193> it with the choicest < 8321> vine
<8321>, and built <1129> a tower <4026> in the midst <8432> of
it, and also <1571> made <2672> a winepress < 3342> therein
<8432>: and he looked <6960> that it should bring < 6213> forth
<6213> grapes <6025>, and it brought <6213> forth <6213> wild
<0891> grapes <0891>.



3 And now <6258>, O inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, and
men <0376> of Judah <3063>, judge <8199>, I pray <4994> you,
betwixt <0996> me and my vineyard <3754>.



4 What <4100> could have been done <6466> more < 5750> to my
vineyard <3754>, that I have not done <6466> in it? wherefore
<4069>, when I looked <6960> that it should bring < 6213> forth
<6213> grapes <6025>, brought <6213> it forth <6213> wild <0891>
grapes <0891>?



5 And now <6258> go to; I will tell <3045> you what I will do
<6213> to my vineyard <3754>: I will take <5493> away <5493> the
hedge <4881> thereof, and it shall be eaten <0398> up; [and]
break <6555> down the wall <1447> thereof, and it shall be
trodden <4823> down:



6 And I will lay it waste <1326>: it shall not be pruned <2167>,
nor <3808> digged <5737>; but there shall come < 5927> up briers
<8068> and thorns <7898>: I will also command < 6680> the clouds
<5645> that they rain <4305> no rain <4306> upon it.



7 For the vineyard <3754> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>
[is] the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, and the men <0376> of
Judah <3063> his pleasant <8191> plant <5194>: and he looked
<6970> for judgment <4941>, but behold <2009> oppression <4939>;
for righteousness <6666>, but behold <2009> a cry < 6818>.



8. Woe <1945> unto them that join <5060> house < 1004> to house
<1004>, [that] lay <7126> field <7704> to field <7704>, till
<5704> [there be] no <0675> place <4725>, that they may be
placed <3427> alone <0905> in the midst <7130> of the earth
<0776>!



9 In mine ears <0241> [said] the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,
Of a truth many <7227> houses <1004> shall be desolate <8047>,
[even] great <1419> and fair <2896>, without < 0369> inhabitant
<3427>.



10 Yea <3588>, ten <6235> acres <6776> of vineyard <3754> shall
yield <6213> one <0259> bath <1324>, and the seed <2233> of an
homer <2563> shall yield <6213> an ephah <0374>.



11 Woe <1945> unto them that rise <7925> up early <7925> in the
morning <1242>, [that] they may follow <7291> strong drink
<7941>; that continue <0309> until night <5399>, [till] wine
<3196> inflame <1814> them!



12 And the harp <3658>, and the viol <5035>, the tabret <8596>,
and pipe <2485>, and wine <3196>, are in their feasts <4960>:
but they regard <5027> not the work <6467> of the LORD <3068>,
neither <3808> consider <7200> the operation < 4639> of his hands
<3027>.



13 Therefore <3651> my people <5971> are gone into captivity
<1540>, because [they have] no <1097> knowledge < 1847>: and
their honourable <3519> men <4962> [are] famished < 7458>, and
their multitude <1995> dried <6704> up with thirst <6772>.



14 Therefore <3651> hell <7585> hath enlarged < 7337> herself
<5315>, and opened <6473> her mouth <6310> without <1097>
measure <2706>: and their glory <1926>, and their multitude
<1995>, and their pomp <7588>, and he that rejoiceth <5937>,
shall descend <3381> into it.



15 And the mean <0120> man <0120> shall be brought <7817> down
<7817>, and the mighty <0376> man <0376> shall be humbled <8213>,
and the eyes <5869> of the lofty <1364> shall be humbled <8213>:



16 But the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> shall be exalted <1361>
in judgment <4941>, and God <0410> that is holy < 6918> shall be
sanctified <6942> in righteousness <6666>.



17 Then shall the lambs <3532> feed <7462> after their manner
<1699>, and the waste <2723> places of the fat < 4220> ones shall
strangers <1481> eat <0398>.



18. Woe <1945> unto them that draw <4900> iniquity <5771> with
cords <2256> of vanity <7723>, and sin <2402> as it were with a
cart <5699> rope <5688>:



19 That say <0559>, Let him make speed <4116>, [and] hasten
<2363> his work <4639>, that we may see <7200> [it]: and let the
counsel <6098> of the Holy <6918> One of Israel < 3478> draw nigh
<7126> and come <0935>, that we may know <3045> [it]!



20 Woe <1945> unto them that call <0559> evil < 7451> good
<2896>, and good <2896> evil <7451>; that put <7760> darkness
<2822> for light <0216>, and light <0216> for darkness <2822>;
that put <7760> bitter <4751> for sweet <4966>, and sweet <4966>
for bitter <4751>!



21 Woe <1945> unto [them that are] wise <2450> in their own
eyes <5869>, and prudent <0995> in their own sight <6440>!



22 Woe <1945> unto [them that are] mighty <1368> to drink
<8354> wine <3196>, and men <0582> of strength <2428> to mingle
<4537> strong drink <7941>:



23 Which justify <6663> the wicked <7563> for reward <7810>,
and take <5493> away <5493> the righteousness < 6666> of the
righteous <6662> from him!



24 Therefore <3651> as the fire <0784> devoureth < 0398> the
stubble <7179>, and the flame <3852> consumeth < 7503> the chaff
<2842>, [so] their root <8328> shall be as rottenness <4716>,
and their blossom <6525> shall go <5927> up as dust <80>:
because <3588> they have cast <3988> away the law < 8451> of the
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and despised <5006> the word <0565>
of the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.



25 Therefore is the anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> kindled
<2734> against his people <5971>, and he hath stretched <5186>
forth his hand <3027> against <5921> them, and hath smitten
<5221> them: and the hills <2022> did tremble < 7264>, and their
carcases <5038> [were] torn <5478> in the midst < 7130> of the
streets <2351>. For all <3605> this <2063> his anger <0639> is
not turned <7725> away, but his hand <3027> [is] stretched
<5186> out still <5750>.



26 And he will lift <5375> up an ensign <5251> to the nations
<1471> from far <7350>, and will hiss <8319> unto them from the
end <7097> of the earth <0776>: and, behold < 2009>, they shall
come <0935> with speed <4120> swiftly <7031>:



27 None <0369> shall be weary <5889> nor <3808> stumble <3782>
among them; none <3808> shall slumber <5123> nor < 3808> sleep
<3463>; neither <3808> shall the girdle <0232> of their loins
<2504> be loosed <6605>, nor <3808> the latchet <8288> of their
shoes <5275> be broken <5423>:



28 Whose <0834> arrows <2671> [are] sharp < 8150>, and all
<3605> their bows <7198> bent <1869>, their horses <5483>' hoofs
<6541> shall be counted <2803> like flint <6864> , and their
wheels <1534> like a whirlwind:



29 Their roaring <7581> [shall be] like a lion <3833> , they
shall roar <7580> like young <3715> lions <3715> : yea, they
shall roar <5098>, and lay hold <0270> of the prey <2964>, and
shall carry <6403> [it] away safe <6403>, and none <0369> shall
deliver <5337> [it].



30 And in that day <3117> they shall roar <5098> against <5921>
them like the roaring <5100> of the sea <3220>: and if [one]
look <5027> unto the land <0776>, behold <2009> darkness <2822>
[and] sorrow <6862>, and the light <0216> is darkened <2821> in
the heavens <6183> thereof.



Isaiah 6



1. In the year <8141> that king <4428> Uzziah < 5818> died
<4194> I saw <7200> also the Lord <0136> sitting <3427> upon a
throne <3678>, high <7311> and lifted <5375> up, and his train
<7757> filled <4390> the temple <1964>.



2 Above <4605> it stood <5975> the seraphims < 8314>: each
<0259> one <0259> had six <8337> wings < 3671>; with twain <8147>
he covered <3680> his face <6440>, and with twain < 8147> he
covered <3680> his feet <7272>, and with twain < 8147> he did fly
<5774>.



3 And one cried <7121> unto another <2088>, and said <0559>,
Holy <6918>, holy <6918>, holy <6918>, [is] the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635>: the whole <3605> earth <0776> [is] full <4393> of
his glory <3519>.



4 And the posts <0520> of the door <5592> moved < 5128> at the
voice <6963> of him that cried <7121>, and the house <1004> was
filled <4390> with smoke <6227>.



5. Then said <0559> I, Woe <0188> [is] me! for I am undone
<1820>; because <3588> I [am] a man <0376> of unclean <2931>
lips <8193>, and I dwell <3427> in the midst < 8432> of a people
<5971> of unclean <2931> lips <8193>: for mine eyes <5869> have
seen <7200> the King <4428>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.



6 Then flew <5774> one <0259> of the seraphims < 8314> unto me,
having a live <7531> coal <7531> in his hand < 3027>, [which] he
had taken <3947> with the tongs <4457> from off < 5921> the altar
<4196>:



7 And he laid <5060> [it] upon my mouth <6310>, and said <0559>,
Lo <2009>, this <2088> hath touched <5060> thy lips <8193>; and
thine iniquity <5771> is taken <5493> away < 5493>, and thy sin
<2403> purged <3722>.



8 Also I heard <8085> the voice <6963> of the Lord <0136>,
saying <0559>, Whom shall I send <7971>, and who < 4310> will go
<3212> for us? Then said <0559> I, Here <2005> [am] I; send
<7971> me.



9. And he said <0559>, Go <3212>, and tell < 0559> this <2088>
people <5971>, Hear <8085> ye indeed, but understand <0995> not;
and see <7200> ye indeed, but perceive <3045> not.



10 Make the heart <3820> of this <2088> people < 5971> fat
<8082>, and make their ears <0241> heavy <3513>, and shut <8173>
their eyes <5869>; lest <6435> they see <7200> with their eyes
<5869>, and hear <8085> with their ears <0241>, and understand
<0995> with their heart <3824>, and convert < 7725>, and be
healed <7495>.



11 Then said <0559> I, Lord <0136>, how <5704> long <5704>? And
he answered <0559>, Until <5704> the cities < 5892> be wasted
<7582> without <0369> inhabitant <3427>, and the houses <1004>
without <0369> man <0120>, and the land <0127> be utterly
desolate <8077>,



12 And the LORD <3068> have removed <7368> men < 0120> far
<7368> away, and [there be] a great <7227> forsaking <5805> in
the midst <7130> of the land <0776>.



13 But yet <5750> in it [shall be] a tenth <6224>, and [it]
shall return <7725>, and shall be eaten <1197>: as a teil <0424>
tree, and as an oak <0437>, whose <0834> substance <4678> [is]
in them, when <0834> they cast <7995> [their leaves: so] the
holy <6944> seed <2233> [shall be] the substance < 4678> thereof.



Isaiah 7



1. And it came <1961> to pass in the days <3117> of Ahaz <0271>
the son <1121> of Jotham <3147>, the son <1121> of Uzziah <5818>,
king <4428> of Judah <3063>, [that] Rezin the king <4428> of
Syria <0758>, and Pekah <6492> the son <1121> of Remaliah <7425>,
king <4428> of Israel <3478>, went <5927> up toward Jerusalem
<3389> to war <4421> against <5921> it, but could <3201> not
prevail <3898> against <5921> it.



2 And it was told <5046> the house <1004> of David <1732>,
saying <0559>, Syria <0758> is confederate < 5117> with Ephraim
<0669>. And his heart <3824> was moved <5128>, and the heart
<3824> of his people <5971>, as the trees <6086> of the wood
<3293> are moved <5128> with the wind <7307>.



3 Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto Isaiah < 3470>, Go
<3318> forth <3318> now <4994> to meet < 7125> Ahaz <0271>, thou,
and Shearjashub <7610> thy son <1121>, at <0413> the end <7097>
of the conduit <8585> of the upper <5945> pool < 1295> in the
highway <4546> of the fuller's <3526> field < 7704>;



4 And say <0559> unto him, Take heed <8104>, and be quiet
<8252>; fear <3372> not, neither <0408> be fainthearted <3824>
for the two <8147> tails <2180> of these <0428> smoking <6226>
firebrands <0181>, for the fierce <2750> anger < 0639> of Rezin
<7526> with Syria <0758>, and of the son <1121> of Remaliah
<7425>.



5 Because Syria <0758>, Ephraim <0669>, and the son <1121> of
Remaliah <7425>, have taken evil <7451> counsel < 3289> against
<5921> thee, saying <0559>,



6 Let us go <5927> up against Judah <3063>, and vex <6972> it,
and let us make a breach <1234> therein for us, and set a king
<4428> in the midst <8432> of it, [even] the son < 1121> of
Tabeal <2870>:



7 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, It shall
not stand <6965>, neither <3808> shall it come < 1961> to pass.



8 For the head <7218> of Syria <0758> [is] Damascus <1834>, and
the head <7218> of Damascus <1834> [is] Rezin < 7526>; and within
threescore <7657> and five <2568> years <8141> shall Ephraim
<0669> be broken <2844>, that it be not a people < 5971>.



9 And the head <7218> of Ephraim <0669> [is] Samaria <8111>,
and the head <7218> of Samaria <8111> [is] Remaliah's <7425> son
<1121>. If <0518> ye will not believe <0539>, surely <3588> ye
shall not be established <0539>.



10. Moreover the LORD <3068> spake <1696> again < 3254> unto
Ahaz <0271>, saying <0559>,



11 Ask <7592> thee a sign <0226> of the LORD < 3068> thy God
<0430>; ask <7592> it either in the depth <6009> , or <0176> in
the height <1361> above <4605>.



12 But Ahaz <0271> said <0559>, I will not ask < 7592>, neither
<3808> will I tempt <5254> the LORD <3068>.



13 And he said <0559>, Hear <8085> ye now < 4994>, O house
<1004> of David <1732>; [Is it] a small <4592> thing for you to
weary <3811> men <0582>, but will ye weary < 3811> my God <0430>
also <1571>?



14 Therefore <3651> the Lord <0136> himself < 1931> shall give
<5414> you a sign <0226>; Behold <2009>, a virgin <5959> shall
conceive <2030>, and bear <3205> a son <1121>, and shall call
<7121> his name <8034> Immanuel <6005>.



15 Butter <2529> and honey <1706> shall he eat < 0398>, that he
may know <3045> to refuse <3988> the evil <7451> , and choose
<0977> the good <2896>.



16 For before <2962> the child <5288> shall know < 3045> to
refuse <3988> the evil <7451>, and choose <0977> the good <2896>,
the land <0127> that thou abhorrest <6973> shall be forsaken
<5800> of both <8147> her kings <4428>.



17. The LORD <3068> shall bring <0935> upon thee, and upon thy
people <5971>, and upon thy father's <1> house < 1004>, days
<3117> that have not come <0935>, from the day < 3117> that
Ephraim <0669> departed <5493> from Judah <3063> ; [even <0853>]
the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.



18 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
the LORD <3068> shall hiss <8319> for the fly < 2070> that [is]
in the uttermost <7097> part of the rivers <2975> of Egypt
<4714>, and for the bee <1682> that [is] in the land <0776> of
Assyria <0804>.



19 And they shall come <0935>, and shall rest <5117> all <3605>
of them in the desolate <1327> valleys <5158>, and in the holes
<5357> of the rocks <5553>, and upon all <3605> thorns <5285>,
and upon all <3605> bushes <5097>.



20 In the same <1931> day <3117> shall the Lord < 0136> shave
<1548> with a razor <8593> that is hired <7917>, [namely], by
them beyond <5676> the river <5104>, by the king < 4428> of
Assyria <0804>, the head <7218>, and the hair < 8181> of the feet
<7272>: and it shall also <1571> consume <5595> the beard <2206>.



21 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
a man <0376> shall nourish <2421> a young <1241> cow <5697>, and
two <8147> sheep <6629>;



22 And it shall come <1961> to pass, for the abundance < 7230>
of milk <2461> [that] they shall give <6213> he shall eat <0398>
butter <2529>: for butter <2529> and honey < 1706> shall every
<3605> one eat <0398> that is left <3498> in the land <0776>.



23 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
every <3605> place <4725> shall be, where <0834> there were a
thousand <0505> vines <1612> at a thousand < 0505> silverlings
<3701>, it shall [even] be for briers <8068> and thorns <7898>.



24 With arrows <2671> and with bows <7198> shall [men] come
<0935> thither <8033>; because <3588> all < 3605> the land <0776>
shall become <1961> briers <8068> and thorns < 7898>.



25 And [on] all <3605> hills <2022> that shall be digged <5737>
with the mattock <4576>, there shall not come <0935> thither
<8033> the fear <3374> of briers <8068> and thorns <7898>: but
it shall be for the sending <4916> forth of oxen < 7794>, and for
the treading <4823> of lesser <7716> cattle < 7716>.



Isaiah 8



1. Moreover the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Take <3947>
thee a great <1419> roll <1549>, and write < 3789> in it with a
man's <0582> pen <2747> concerning Mahershalalhashbaz <4122>.



2 And I took unto me faithful <0539> witnesses <5707> to record
<5749>, Uriah <0223> the priest <3548>, and Zechariah <2148> the
son <1121> of Jeberechiah <3000>.



3 And I went <7126> unto the prophetess <5031>; and she
conceived <2030>, and bare <3205> a son <1121>. Then said <0559>
the LORD <3068> to me, Call <7121> his name < 8034>
Mahershalalhashbaz <4122>.



4 For before <2962> the child <5288> shall have knowledge
<3045> to cry <7121>, My father <1>, and my mother <0517>, the
riches <2428> of Damascus <1834> and the spoil < 7998> of Samaria
<8111> shall be taken <5375> away before <6440> the king <4428>
of Assyria <0804>.



5 The LORD <3068> spake <1696> also unto me again <3254>,
saying <0559>,



6 Forasmuch as this <2088> people <5971> refuseth <3988> the
waters <4325> of Shiloah <7975> that go <1980> softly <0328>,
and rejoice <4885> in Rezin <7526> and Remaliah's < 7425> son
<1121>;



7 Now therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the Lord < 0136> bringeth
<5927> up upon them the waters <4325> of the river <5104>,
strong <6099> and many <7227>, [even <0853>] the king <4428> of
Assyria <0804>, and all <3605> his glory <3519>: and he shall
come <5927> up over <5921> all <3605> his channels <0650>, and
go <1980> over <5921> all <3605> his banks < 1415>:



8 And he shall pass <2498> through Judah <3063>; he shall
overflow <7857> and go <5674> over <5674>, he shall reach <5060>
[even] to the neck <6677>; and the stretching <4298> out of his
wings <3671> shall fill <4393> the breadth < 7341> of thy land
<0776>, O Immanuel <6005>.



9. Associate <7489> yourselves, O ye people <5971>, and ye
shall be broken <2844> in pieces; and give ear <0238>, all
<3605> ye of far <4801> countries <0776>: gird <0247> yourselves,
and ye shall be broken <2844> in pieces; gird <0247> yourselves,
and ye shall be broken <2844> in pieces.



10 Take counsel <6098> together, and it shall come to nought
<6565>; speak <1696> the word <1697>, and it shall not stand
<6965>: for God <0410> [is] with us.



11 For the LORD <3068> spake <0559> thus <3541> to me with a
strong <2393> hand <3027>, and instructed <3256> me that I
should not walk <3212> in the way <1870> of this < 2088> people
<5971>, saying <0559>,



12 Say <0559> ye not, A confederacy <7195>, to all <3605> [them
to] whom <0834> this <2088> people <5971> shall say <0559>, A
confederacy <7195>; neither <3808> fear <3372> ye their fear
<4172>, nor <3808> be afraid <6206>.



13 Sanctify <6942> the LORD <3068> of hosts < 6635> himself; and
[let] him [be] your fear <4172>, and [let] him [be] your dread
<6206>.



14 And he shall be for a sanctuary <4720>; but for a stone <68>
of stumbling <5063> and for a rock <6697> of offence <4383> to
both <8147> the houses <1004> of Israel <3478>, for a gin <6341>
and for a snare <4170> to the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem
<3389>.



15 And many <7227> among them shall stumble <3782>, and fall
<5307>, and be broken <7665>, and be snared < 3369>, and be taken
<3920>.



16. Bind <6887> up the testimony <8584>, seal < 2856> the law
<8451> among my disciples <3928>.



17 And I will wait <2442> upon the LORD <3068>, that hideth
<5641> his face <6440> from the house <1004> of Jacob <3290>,
and I will look <6960> for him.



18 Behold <2009>, I and the children <3206> whom < 0834> the
LORD <3068> hath given <5414> me [are] for signs < 0226> and for
wonders <4159> in Israel <3478> from the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>, which dwelleth <7931> in mount <2022> Zion <6726>.



19 And when <3588> they shall say <0559> unto you, Seek <1875>
unto them that have familiar spirits <0178>, and unto wizards
<3049> that peep <6850>, and that mutter <1897>: should not a
people <5971> seek <1875> unto their God <0430> ? for the living
<2416> to the dead <4191>?



20 To the law <8451> and to the testimony <8584>: if <0518>
they speak <0559> not according to this <2088> word <1697>, [it
is] because <0834> [there is] no <0369> light < 7837> in them.



21 And they shall pass <5674> through it, hardly < 7185> bestead
and hungry <7456>: and it shall come <1961> to pass, that when
<3588> they shall be hungry <7456>, they shall fret <7107>
themselves, and curse <7043> their king <4428> and their God
<0430>, and look <6437> upward <4605>.



22 And they shall look <5027> unto the earth <0776>; and behold
<2009> trouble <6869> and darkness <2825>, dimness <4588> of
anguish <6695>; and [they shall be] driven <5080> to darkness
<0653>.



Isaiah 9



1. Nevertheless <3588> the dimness <4155> [shall] not [be] such
as [was] in her vexation <4164>, when <6256> at the first <7223>
he lightly <7043> afflicted <7043> the land < 0776> of Zebulun
<2074> and the land <0776> of Naphtali <5321>, and afterward
<0314> did more grievously <3513> afflict <3513> [her by] the
way <1870> of the sea <3220>, beyond <5676> Jordan <3383>, in
Galilee <1551> of the nations <1471>.



2 The people <5971> that walked <1980> in darkness <2822> have
seen <7200> a great <1419> light <0216>: they that dwell <3427>
in the land <0776> of the shadow <6757> of death < 6757>, upon
them hath the light <0216> shined <5050>.



3 Thou hast multiplied <7235> the nation <1471>, [and] not
increased <1431> the joy <8057>: they joy <8055> before <6440>
thee according to the joy <8055> in harvest <7105>, [and] as
[men] rejoice <1523> when they divide <2505> the spoil <7998>.



4 For thou hast broken <2865> the yoke <5923> of his burden
<5448>, and the staff <4294> of his shoulder < 7926>, the rod
<7626> of his oppressor <5065>, as in the day < 3117> of Midian
<4080>.



5 For every <3605> battle <5430> of the warrior < 5431> [is]
with confused <7494> noise, and garments <8071> rolled <1556> in
blood <1818>; but [this] shall be with burning <8316> [and] fuel
<3980> of fire <0784>.



6 For unto us a child <3206> is born <3205>, unto us a son
<1121> is given <5414>: and the government < 4951> shall be upon
his shoulder <7926>: and his name <8034> shall be called <7121>
Wonderful <6382>, Counsellor <3289>, The mighty < 1368> God
<0410>, The everlasting <5703> Father <1>, The Prince <8269> of
Peace <7965>.



7 Of the increase <4768> of [his] government <4951> and peace
<7965> [there shall be] no <0369> end <7093>, upon the throne
<3678> of David <1732>, and upon his kingdom < 4467>, to order
<3559> it, and to establish <5582> it with judgment <4941> and
with justice <6666> from henceforth <6258> even for ever <5769>.
The zeal <7068> of the LORD <3068> of hosts < 6635> will perform
<6213> this <2063>.



8. The Lord <3068> sent <7971> a word <1697> into Jacob <3290>,
and it hath lighted <5307> upon Israel <3478>.



9 And all <3605> the people <5971> shall know < 3045>, [even]
Ephraim <0669> and the inhabitant <3427> of Samaria <8111>, that
say <0559> in the pride <1346> and stoutness < 1433> of heart
<3824>,



10 The bricks <3843> are fallen <5307> down, but we will build
<1129> with hewn <1496> stones <1496>: the sycomores <8256> are
cut <1438> down <1438>, but we will change < 2498> [them into]
cedars <0730>.



11 Therefore the LORD <3068> shall set <7682> up the
adversaries <6862> of Rezin <7526> against < 5921> him, and join
<5526> his enemies <0341> together;



12 The Syrians <0758> before <6924>, and the Philistines <6430>
behind <0268>; and they shall devour <0398> Israel <3478> with
open <6605> mouth <6310>. For all <3605> this <2063> his anger
<0639> is not turned <7725> away, but his hand < 3027> [is]
stretched <5186> out still <5750>.



13 For the people <5971> turneth <7725> not unto him that
smiteth <5221> them, neither <3808> do they seek < 1875> the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635>.



14 Therefore the LORD <3068> will cut <3772> off from Israel
<3478> head <7218> and tail <2180>, branch < 3712> and rush
<0100>, in one <0259> day <3117>.



15 The ancient <2204> and honourable, he [is] the head < 7218>;
and the prophet <5030> that teacheth <3384> lies < 8267>, he [is]
the tail <2180>.



16 For the leaders <0833> of this <2088> people < 5971> cause
[them] to err <8582>; and [they that are] led <0833> of them
[are] destroyed <1104>.



17 Therefore the Lord <0136> shall have no <3808> joy <8055> in
their young <0970> men, neither <3808> shall have mercy <7355>
on their fatherless <3490> and widows <0490>: for every <3605>
one [is] an hypocrite <2611> and an evildoer <7489>, and every
<3605> mouth <6310> speaketh <1696> folly < 5039>. For all <3605>
this <2063> his anger <0639> is not turned < 7725> away, but his
hand <3027> [is] stretched <5186> out still < 5750>.



18 For wickedness <7564> burneth <1197> as the fire <0784>: it
shall devour <0398> the briers <8068> and thorns < 7898>, and
shall kindle <3341> in the thickets <5442> of the forest <3293>,
and they shall mount <55> up [like] the lifting <1348> up of
smoke <6227>.



19 Through the wrath <5678> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>
is the land <0776> darkened <6272>, and the people <5971> shall
be as the fuel <3980> of the fire <0784>: no < 3808> man <0376>
shall spare <2550> his brother <0251>.



20 And he shall snatch <1504> on <5921> the right <3225> hand
<3225>, and be hungry <7456>; and he shall eat < 0398> on <5921>
the left <8040> hand <8040>, and they shall not be satisfied
<7646>: they shall eat <0398> every man <0376> the flesh <1320>
of his own arm <2220>:



21 Manasseh <4519>, Ephraim <0669>; and Ephraim < 0669>,
Manasseh <4519>: [and] they together <3162> [shall be] against
<5921> Judah <3063>. For all <3605> this < 2063> his anger <0639>
is not turned <7725> away, but his hand <3027> [is] stretched
<5186> out still <5750>.



Isaiah 10



1. Woe <1945> unto them that decree <2710> unrighteous <0205>
decrees <2711>, and that write <3789> grievousness <5999>
[which] they have prescribed <3789>;



2 To turn <5186> aside <5186> the needy <1800> from judgment
<1779>, and to take <1497> away <1497> the right <4941> from the
poor <6041> of my people <5971>, that widows < 0490> may be their
prey <7998>, and [that] they may rob <0962> the fatherless
<3490>!



3 And what <4100> will ye do <6213> in the day < 3117> of
visitation <6486>, and in the desolation <7722> [which] shall
come <0935> from far <4801>? to whom <4310> will ye flee <5127>
for help <5833>? and where <0575> will ye leave < 5800> your
glory <3519>?



4 Without <1115> me they shall bow <3766> down < 3766> under
<8478> the prisoners <0616>, and they shall fall < 5307> under
<8478> the slain <2026>. For all <3605> this <2063> his anger
<0639> is not turned <7725> away, but his hand < 3027> [is]
stretched <5186> out still <5750>.



5. O Assyrian <0804>, the rod <7626> of mine anger <0639>, and
the staff <4294> in their hand <3027> is mine indignation <2195>.



6 I will send <7971> him against an hypocritical < 2611> nation
<1471>, and against <5921> the people <5971> of my wrath <5678>
will I give him a charge <6680>, to take <7997> the spoil <7998>,
and to take <0962> the prey <0957>, and to tread < 4823> them
down like the mire <2563> of the streets <2351>.



7 Howbeit he meaneth <1819> not so <3651>, neither <3808> doth
his heart <3824> think <2803> so <3651>; but [it is] in his
heart <3824> to destroy <8045> and cut <3772> off nations <1471>
not a few <4592>.



8 For he saith <0559>, [Are] not my princes <8269> altogether
<3162> kings <4428>?



9 [Is] not Calno <3641> as Carchemish <3751>? [is] not Hamath
<2574> as Arpad <0774>? [is] not Samaria <8111> as Damascus
<1834>?



10 As my hand <3027> hath found <4672> the kingdoms <4467> of
the idols <0457>, and whose graven <6456> images did excel them
of Jerusalem <3389> and of Samaria <8111>;



11 Shall I not, as I have done <6466> unto Samaria < 8111> and
her idols <0457>, so <3651> do <6213> to Jerusalem <3389> and
her idols <6091>?



12 Wherefore it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] when < 3588>
the Lord <0136> hath performed <1214> his whole work <4639> upon
mount <2022> Zion <6726> and on Jerusalem <3389> , I will punish
<6485> the fruit <6529> of the stout <1433> heart <3824> of the
king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, and the glory < 8597> of his high
<7312> looks <5869>.



13 For he saith <0559>, By the strength <3581> of my hand
<3027> I have done <6466> [it], and by my wisdom < 2451>; for I
am prudent <0995>: and I have removed <5493> the bounds <1367>
of the people <5971>, and have robbed <8154> their treasures
<6259>, and I have put <3381> down <3381> the inhabitants <3427>
like a valiant <3524> [man]:



14 And my hand <3027> hath found <4672> as a nest <7064> the
riches <2428> of the people <5971>: and as one gathereth <0622>
eggs <1000> [that are] left <5800>, have I gathered <0622> all
<3605> the earth <0776>; and there was none < 3808> that moved
<5074> the wing <3671>, or opened <6473> the mouth <6310>, or
peeped <6850>.



15 Shall the axe <1631> boast <6286> itself against <5921> him
that heweth <2672> therewith? [or] shall the saw < 4883> magnify
<1431> itself against <5921> him that shaketh < 5130> it? as if
the rod <7626> should shake <5130> [itself] against them that
lift <7311> it up, [or] as if the staff <4294> should lift
<7311> up [itself, as if it were] no <3808> wood < 6086>.



16 Therefore <3651> shall the Lord <0113>, the Lord <0136> of
hosts <6635>, send <7971> among his fat <4924> ones leanness
<7332>; and under <8478> his glory <3519> he shall kindle <3344>
a burning <3350> like the burning <3345> of a fire <0784>.



17 And the light <0216> of Israel <3478> shall be for a fire
<0784>, and his Holy <6918> One for a flame < 3852>: and it shall
burn <1197> and devour <0398> his thorns <7898> and his briers
<8068> in one <0259> day <3117>;



18 And shall consume <3615> the glory <3519> of his forest
<3293>, and of his fruitful <3759> field, both soul <5315> and
body <1320>: and they shall be as when a standardbearer < 5264>
fainteth <4549>.



19 And the rest <7605> of the trees <6086> of his forest <3293>
shall be few <4557>, that a child <5288> may write <3789> them.



20. And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
the remnant <7605> of Israel <3478>, and such as are escaped
<6413> of the house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, shall no <3808> more
<5750> again <3254> stay <4937> upon him that smote <5221> them;
but shall stay <8172> upon the LORD <3068>, the Holy <6918> One
of Israel <3478>, in truth <0571>.



21 The remnant <7605> shall return <7725>, [even] the remnant
<7605> of Jacob <3290>, unto the mighty <1368> God <0410>.



22 For though <0518> thy people <5971> Israel < 3478> be as the
sand <2344> of the sea <3220>, [yet] a remnant < 7605> of them
shall return <7725>: the consumption <3631> decreed <2782> shall
overflow <7857> with righteousness <6666>.



23 For the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts < 6635> shall make
<6213> a consumption <3617>, even determined < 2782>, in the
midst <7130> of all <3605> the land <0776>.



24. Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>
GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>, O my people <5971> that dwellest
<3427> in Zion <6726>, be not afraid <3372> of the Assyrian
<0804>: he shall smite <5221> thee with a rod < 7626>, and shall
lift <5375> up his staff <4294> against <5921> thee, after the
manner <1870> of Egypt <4714>.



25 For yet <5750> a very <4213> little <4592> while, and the
indignation <2195> shall cease <3615>, and mine anger <0639> in
their destruction <8399>.



26 And the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> shall stir <5782> up a
scourge <7752> for him according to the slaughter < 4347> of
Midian <4080> at the rock <6697> of Oreb <6157>: and [as] his
rod <4294> [was] upon the sea <3220>, so shall he lift <5375> it
up after the manner <1870> of Egypt <4714>.



27 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
his burden <5448> shall be taken <5493> away < 5493> from off
<5921> thy shoulder <7926>, and his yoke <5923> from off <5921>
thy neck <6677>, and the yoke <5923> shall be destroyed <2254>
because <6440> of the anointing <8081>.



28 He is come <0935> to Aiath <5857>, he is passed <5674> to
Migron <4051>; at Michmash <4363> he hath laid < 6485> up his
carriages <3627>:



29 They are gone <5674> over <5674> the passage < 4569>: they
have taken <3885> up their lodging <4411> at Geba < 1387>; Ramah
<7414> is afraid <2729>; Gibeah <1390> of Saul <7586> is fled
<5127>.



30 Lift <6670> up thy voice <6963>, O daughter < 1323> of Gallim
<1554>: cause it to be heard <7181> unto Laish < 3919>, O poor
<6041> Anathoth <6068>.



31 Madmenah <4088> is removed <5074>; the inhabitants <3427> of
Gebim <1374> gather <5756> themselves to flee.



32 As yet <5750> shall he remain <5975> at Nob < 5011> that day
<3117>: he shall shake <5130> his hand <3027> [against] the
mount <2022> of the daughter <1004> of Zion < 6726>, the hill
<1389> of Jerusalem <3389>.



33 Behold <2009>, the Lord <0113>, the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>, shall lop <5586> the bough <6288> with terror <4637>:
and the high <7312> ones of stature <6967> [shall be] hewn
<1438> down <1438>, and the haughty <1364> shall be humbled
<8213>.



34 And he shall cut <5362> down the thickets <5442> of the
forest <3293> with iron <1270>, and Lebanon < 3844> shall fall
<5307> by a mighty <0117> one.



Isaiah 11



1. And there shall come <3318> forth <3318> a rod <2415> out of
the stem <1503> of Jesse <3448>, and a Branch < 5342> shall grow
<6509> out of his roots <8328>:



2 And the spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068> shall rest <5117>
upon him, the spirit <7307> of wisdom <2451> and understanding
<0998>, the spirit <7307> of counsel <6098> and might <1369>,
the spirit <7307> of knowledge <1847> and of the fear <3374> of
the LORD <3068>;



3 And shall make him of quick understanding <7306> in the fear
<3374> of the LORD <3068>: and he shall not judge < 8199> after
the sight <4758> of his eyes <5869>, neither < 3808> reprove
<3198> after <0310> the hearing <4926> of his ears <0241>:



4 But with righteousness <6664> shall he judge <8199> the poor
<1800>, and reprove <3198> with equity <4334> for the meek
<6035> of the earth <0776>: and he shall smite < 5221> the earth
<0776> with the rod <7626> of his mouth <6310>, and with the
breath <7307> of his lips <8193> shall he slay < 4191> the wicked
<7563>.



5 And righteousness <6664> shall be the girdle <0232> of his
loins <4975>, and faithfulness <0530> the girdle < 0232> of his
reins <2504>.



6 The wolf <2061> also shall dwell <1481> with the lamb <3532>,
and the leopard <5246> shall lie <7257> down < 7257> with the kid
<1423>; and the calf <5695> and the young <3715> lion <3715> and
the fatling <4806> together <3162>; and a little < 6995> child
<5288> shall lead <5090> them.



7 And the cow <6510> and the bear <1677> shall feed <7462>;
their young <3206> ones shall lie <7257> down < 7257> together
<3162>: and the lion <0738> shall eat <0398> straw <8401> like
the ox <1241>.



8 And the sucking <3243> child shall play <8173> on <5921> the
hole <2356> of the asp <6620>, and the weaned < 1580> child shall
put <1911> his hand <3027> on <5921> the cockatrice <6848>' den
<3975>.



9 They shall not hurt <7489> nor <3808> destroy < 7843> in all
<3605> my holy <6944> mountain <2022>: for the earth <0776>
shall be full <4390> of the knowledge <1844> of the LORD <3068>,
as the waters <4325> cover <3680> the sea <3220> .



10. And in that day <3117> there shall be a root < 8328> of
Jesse <3448>, which <0834> shall stand <5975> for an ensign
<5251> of the people <5971>; to it shall the Gentiles <1471>
seek <1875>: and his rest <4496> shall be glorious <3519>.



11 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
the Lord <0136> shall set his hand <3027> again < 3254> the
second <8145> time <6256> to recover <7069> the remnant <7605>
of his people <5971>, which <0834> shall be left < 7604>, from
Assyria <0804>, and from Egypt <4714>, and from Pathros <6624>,
and from Cush <3568>, and from Elam <5867>, and from Shinar
<8152>, and from Hamath <2574>, and from the islands <0339> of
the sea <3220>.



12 And he shall set <5375> up an ensign <5251> for the nations
<1471>, and shall assemble <0622> the outcasts < 1760> of Israel
<3478>, and gather <6908> together the dispersed < 5310> of Judah
<3063> from the four <0702> corners <3671> of the earth <0776>.



13 The envy <7068> also of Ephraim <0669> shall depart <5493>,
and the adversaries <6887> of Judah <3063> shall be cut <3772>
off: Ephraim <0669> shall not envy <7065> Judah < 3063>, and
Judah <3063> shall not vex <6887> Ephraim <0669> .



14 But they shall fly <5774> upon the shoulders < 3802> of the
Philistines <6430> toward the west <3220>; they shall spoil
<0962> them of the east <6924> together <3162>: they shall lay
<7971> their hand <3027> upon Edom <0123> and Moab <4124>; and
the children <1121> of Ammon <5983> shall obey < 4928> them.



15 And the LORD <3068> shall utterly destroy <2763> the tongue
<3956> of the Egyptian <4714> sea <3220>; and with his mighty
<5868> wind <7307> shall he shake <5130> his hand <3027> over
<5921> the river <5104>, and shall smite <5221> it in the seven
<7651> streams <5158>, and make [men] go <1869> over <1869>
dryshod <5275>.



16 And there shall be an highway <4546> for the remnant <7605>
of his people <5971>, which <0834> shall be left < 7604>, from
Assyria <0804>; like as it was to Israel <3478> in the day
<3117> that he came <5927> up out of the land < 0776> of Egypt
<4714>.



Isaiah 12



1. And in that day <3117> thou shalt say <0559>, O LORD <3068>,
I will praise <3034> thee: though <3588> thou wast angry <0599>
with me, thine anger <0639> is turned <7725> away, and thou
comfortedst <5162> me.



2 Behold <2009>, God <0410> [is] my salvation < 3444>; I will
trust <0982>, and not be afraid <6342>: for the LORD <3050>
JEHOVAH <3068> [is] my strength <5797> and [my] song <2176>; he
also is become <1961> my salvation <3444>.



3 Therefore with joy <8342> shall ye draw <7579> water <4325>
out of the wells <4599> of salvation <3444>.



4. And in that day <3117> shall ye say <0559>, Praise <3034>
the LORD <3068>, call <7121> upon his name < 8034>, declare
<3045> his doings <5949> among the people <5971> , make mention
<2142> that his name <8034> is exalted <7682>.



5 Sing <2167> unto the LORD <3068>; for he hath done <6466>
excellent <1348> things: this <2063> [is] known < 3045> in all
<3605> the earth <0776>.



6 Cry <6670> out and shout <7442>, thou inhabitant <3427> of
Zion <6726>: for great <1419> [is] the Holy < 6918> One of Israel
<3478> in the midst <7130> of thee.



Isaiah 13



1. The burden <4853> of Babylon <0894>, which < 0834> Isaiah
<3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531> did see <2372>.



2 Lift <5375> ye up a banner <5251> upon the high <8192>
mountain <2022>, exalt <7311> the voice <6963> unto them, shake
<5130> the hand <3027>, that they may go <0935> into the gates
<6607> of the nobles <5081>.



3 I have commanded <6680> my sanctified <6942> ones, I have
also <1571> called <7121> my mighty <1368> ones for mine anger
<0639>, [even] them that rejoice <5947> in my highness <1346>.



4 The noise <6963> of a multitude <1995> in the mountains
<2022>, like <1823> as of a great <7227> people <5971>; a
tumultuous <7588> noise <6963> of the kingdoms < 4467> of nations
<1471> gathered <0622> together: the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>
mustereth <6485> the host <6635> of the battle < 4421>.



5 They come <0935> from a far <4801> country < 0776>, from the
end <7093> of heaven <8064>, [even] the LORD < 3068>, and the
weapons <3627> of his indignation <2195>, to destroy <2254> the
whole <3605> land <0776>.



6. Howl <3213> ye; for the day <3117> of the LORD <3068> [is]
at <7138> hand <7138>; it shall come <0935> as a destruction
<7701> from the Almighty <7706>.



7 Therefore shall all <3605> hands <3027> be faint <7503>, and
every <3605> man's <0582> heart <3824> shall melt <4549>:



8 And they shall be afraid <0926>: pangs <6735> and sorrows
<2256> shall take <0270> hold <0270> of them; they shall be in
pain <2342> as a woman that travaileth <3205>: they shall be
amazed <8539> one <0376> at <0413> another < 7453>; their faces
<6440> [shall be as] flames <3851>.



9 Behold <2009>, the day <3117> of the LORD < 3068> cometh
<0935>, cruel <0394> both with wrath <5678> and fierce <2740>
anger <0639>, to lay the land <0776> desolate < 8047>: and he
shall destroy <8045> the sinners <2400> thereof out of it.



10 For the stars <3556> of heaven <8064> and the constellations
<3685> thereof shall not give their light <0216>: the sun <8121>
shall be darkened <2821> in his going <3318> forth <3318>, and
the moon <3394> shall not cause her light <0216> to shine <5050>.



11 And I will punish <6485> the world <8398> for [their] evil
<7451>, and the wicked <7563> for their iniquity < 5771>; and I
will cause the arrogancy <1347> of the proud <2086> to cease
<7673>, and will lay low <8213> the haughtiness < 1346> of the
terrible <6184>.



12 I will make a man <0582> more precious <3365> than fine gold
<6337>; even a man <0120> than the golden <3800> wedge of Ophir
<0211>.



13 Therefore I will shake <7264> the heavens <8064>, and the
earth <0776> shall remove <7493> out of her place < 4725>, in the
wrath <5678> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and in the day
<3117> of his fierce <2740> anger <0639>.



14 And it shall be as the chased <5080> roe <6643>, and as a
sheep <6629> that no <0369> man taketh <6908> up: they shall
every man <0376> turn <6437> to his own people < 5971>, and flee
<5127> every <0376> one into <0413> his own land <0776>.



15 Every <3605> one that is found <4672> shall be thrust <1856>
through <1856>; and every <3605> one that is joined <5595> [unto
them] shall fall <5307> by the sword <2719>.



16 Their children <5768> also shall be dashed <7376> to pieces
before their eyes <5869>; their houses <1004> shall be spoiled
<8155>, and their wives <0802> ravished <7693>.



17 Behold <2005>, I will stir <5782> up the Medes <4074>
against <5921> them, which <0834> shall not regard <2803> silver
<3701>; and [as for] gold <2091>, they shall not delight <2654>
in it.



18 [Their] bows <7198> also shall dash <7376> the young <5288>
men to pieces; and they shall have no <3808> pity < 7355> on the
fruit <6529> of the womb <0990>; their eye < 5869> shall not
spare <2347> children <1121>.



19. And Babylon <0894>, the glory <6643> of kingdoms <4467>,
the beauty <8597> of the Chaldees <3778>' excellency <1347>,
shall be as when God <0430> overthrew <4114> Sodom <5467> and
Gomorrah <6017>.



20 It shall never be inhabited <3427>, neither <3808> shall it
be dwelt <7931> in from generation <1755> to generation <1755>:
neither <3808> shall the Arabian <6153> pitch < 0167> tent <0167>
there <8033>; neither <3808> shall the shepherds < 7462> make
their fold <7257> there <8033>.



21 But wild <6728> beasts <6728> of the desert < 6728> shall lie
<7257> there <8033>; and their houses <1004> shall be full
<4390> of doleful <0255> creatures <0255>; and owls shall dwell
<7931> there <8033>, and satyrs <8163> shall dance <7540> there
<8033>.



22 And the wild <0338> beasts <0338> of the islands <0338>
shall cry <6030> in their desolate <0490> houses < 0490>, and
dragons <8577> in [their] pleasant <6027> palaces < 1964>: and
her time <6256> [is] near <7138> to come <0935>, and her days
<3117> shall not be prolonged <4900>.



Isaiah 14



1. For the LORD <3068> will have mercy <7355> on Jacob <3290>,
and will yet <5750> choose <0977> Israel <3478>, and set <3240>
them in their own land <0127>: and the strangers < 1616> shall be
joined <3867> with them, and they shall cleave <5596> to the
house <1004> of Jacob <3290>.



2 And the people <5971> shall take <3947> them, and bring
<0935> them to their place <4725>: and the house < 1004> of
Israel <3478> shall possess <5157> them in the land <0127> of
the LORD <3068> for servants <5650> and handmaids < 8198>: and
they shall take them captives <7617>, whose captives < 7617> they
were; and they shall rule <7287> over their oppressors < 5065>.



3 And it shall come <1961> to pass in the day <3117> that the
LORD <3068> shall give thee rest <5117> from thy sorrow <6090>,
and from thy fear <7267>, and from the hard <7186> bondage
<5656> wherein <0834> thou wast made to serve < 5647>,



4. That thou shalt take <5375> up this <2088> proverb <4912>
against <5921> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> , and say <0559>,
How <0349> hath the oppressor <5065> ceased < 7673>! the golden
<4062> city <4062> ceased <7673>!



5 The LORD <3068> hath broken <7665> the staff < 4294> of the
wicked <7563>, [and] the sceptre <7626> of the rulers <4910>.



6 He who smote <5221> the people <5971> in wrath < 5678> with a
continual stroke <4347>, he that ruled <7287> the nations <1471>
in anger <0639>, is persecuted <4783>, [and] none < 1097>
hindereth <2820>.



7 The whole <3605> earth <0776> is at rest < 5117>, [and] is
quiet <8252>: they break <6476> forth into singing <7440>.



8 Yea <1571>, the fir <1265> trees rejoice < 8055> at thee,
[and] the cedars <0730> of Lebanon <3844>, [saying], Since
<0227> thou art laid <7901> down <7901>, no < 3808> feller <3772>
is come <5927> up against <5921> us.



9 Hell <7585> from beneath <8478> is moved < 7264> for thee to
meet <7125> [thee] at thy coming <0935>: it stirreth <5782> up
the dead <7496> for thee, [even] all <3605> the chief <6260>
ones of the earth <0776>; it hath raised <6965> up from their
thrones <3678> all <3605> the kings <4428> of the nations <1471>.



10 All <3605> they shall speak <6030> and say < 0559> unto thee,
Art thou also <1571> become <2470> weak <2470> as we? art thou
become <4911> like <4911> unto us?



11 Thy pomp <1347> is brought <3381> down < 3381> to the grave
<7585>, [and] the noise <1998> of thy viols < 5035>: the worm
<7415> is spread <3331> under <8478> thee, and the worms <8438>
cover <4374> thee.



12 How <0349> art thou fallen <5307> from heaven < 8064>, O
Lucifer <1966>, son <1121> of the morning <7837> ! [how <0349>]
art thou cut <1438> down <1438> to the ground < 0776>, which
didst weaken <2522> the nations <1471>!



13 For thou hast said <0559> in thine heart <3824>, I will
ascend <5927> into heaven <8064>, I will exalt < 7311> my throne
<3678> above <4605> the stars <3556> of God < 0410>: I will sit
<3427> also upon the mount <2022> of the congregation <4150>, in
the sides <3411> of the north <6828>:



14 I will ascend <5927> above <5921> the heights < 1116> of the
clouds <5645>; I will be like <1819> the most < 5945> High <5945>.



15 Yet <0389> thou shalt be brought <3381> down < 3381> to hell
<7585>, to the sides <3411> of the pit <0953>.



16 They that see <7200> thee shall narrowly look < 7688> upon
thee, [and] consider <0995> thee, [saying <0559>, Is] this
<2088> the man <0376> that made the earth <0776> to tremble
<7264>, that did shake <7493> kingdoms <4467>;



17 [That] made <7760> the world <8398> as a wilderness <4057>,
and destroyed <2040> the cities <5892> thereof; [that] opened
<6605> not the house <1004> of his prisoners < 0615>?



18 All <3605> the kings <4428> of the nations < 1471>, [even]
all <3605> of them, lie <7901> in glory <3519>, every <0376> one
<0376> in his own house <1004>.



19 But thou art cast <7993> out of thy grave <6913> like an
abominable <8581> branch <5342>, [and as] the raiment <3830> of
those that are slain <2026>, thrust <2944> through <2944> with a
sword <2719>, that go <3381> down <3381> to the stones <68> of
the pit <0953>; as a carcase <6297> trodden < 0947> under feet.



20 Thou shalt not be joined <3161> with them in burial < 6900>,
because <3588> thou hast destroyed <7843> thy land <0776>, [and]
slain <2026> thy people <5971>: the seed <2233> of evildoers
<7489> shall never be renowned <7121>.



21 Prepare <3559> slaughter <4293> for his children <1121> for
the iniquity <5771> of their fathers <1>; that they do not rise
<6965>, nor possess <3423> the land <0776>, nor fill <4390> the
face <6440> of the world <8398> with cities < 5892>.



22 For I will rise <6965> up against <5921> them, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and cut <3772> off from Babylon
<0894> the name <8034>, and remnant <7605>, and son <5209>, and
nephew <5220>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



23 I will also make <7760> it a possession <4180> for the
bittern <7090>, and pools <98> of water <4325>: and I will sweep
<2894> it with the besom <4292> of destruction < 8045>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.



24. The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath sworn < 7650>, saying
<0559>, Surely as I have thought <1819>, so shall it come <1961>
to pass; and as I have purposed <3289>, [so <3651>] shall it
stand <6965>:



25 That I will break <7665> the Assyrian <0804> in my land
<0776>, and upon my mountains <2022> tread < 0947> him under foot
<0947>: then shall his yoke <5923> depart <5493> from off <5921>
them, and his burden <5448> depart <5493> from off <5921> their
shoulders <7926>.



26 This <2063> [is] the purpose <6098> that is purposed <3289>
upon the whole <3605> earth <0776>: and this < 2063> [is] the
hand <3027> that is stretched <5186> out upon all < 3605> the
nations <1471>.



27 For the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath purposed <3289>,
and who <4310> shall disannul <6565> [it]? and his hand <3027>
[is] stretched <5186> out, and who <4310> shall turn <7725> it
back <7725>?



28 In the year <8141> that king <4428> Ahaz < 0271> died <4194>
was this <2088> burden <4853>.



29 Rejoice <8055> not thou, whole <3605> Palestina <6429>,
because <3588> the rod <7626> of him that smote < 5221> thee is
broken <7665>: for out of the serpent's <5175> root <8328> shall
come <3318> forth <3318> a cockatrice <6848>, and his fruit
<6529> [shall be] a fiery <8314> flying <5774> serpent <8314>.



30 And the firstborn <1060> of the poor <1800> shall feed
<7462>, and the needy <34> shall lie <7257> down <7257> in
safety <0983>: and I will kill <4191> thy root < 8328> with
famine <7458>, and he shall slay <2026> thy remnant <7611>.



31 Howl <3213>, O gate <8179>; cry <2199>, O city <5892>; thou,
whole <3605> Palestina <6429>, [art] dissolved < 4127>: for there
shall come <0935> from the north <6828> a smoke < 6227>, and none
<0369> [shall be] alone <0909> in his appointed < 4151> times
<4151>.



32 What <4100> shall [one] then answer <6030> the messengers
<4397> of the nation <1471>? That the LORD < 3068> hath founded
<3245> Zion <6726>, and the poor <6041> of his people <5971>
shall trust <2620> in it.



Isaiah 15



1. The burden <4853> of Moab <4124>. Because < 3588> in the
night <3915> Ar <6144> of Moab <4124> is laid waste <7703>,
[and] brought <1820> to silence <1820>; because < 3588> in the
night <3915> Kir <7024> of Moab <4124> is laid waste <7703>,
[and] brought <1820> to silence;



2 He is gone <5927> up to Bajith <1006>, and to Dibon <1769>,
the high <1116> places, to weep <1065>: Moab < 4124> shall howl
<3213> over <5921> Nebo <5015>, and over < 5921> Medeba <4311>:
on all <3605> their heads <7218> [shall be] baldness <7144>,
[and] every <3605> beard <2206> cut <1438> off.



3 In their streets <2351> they shall gird <2296> themselves
with sackcloth <8242>: on <5921> the tops <1406> of their houses,
and in their streets <7339>, every <3605> one shall howl <3213>,
weeping <1065> abundantly <3381>.



4 And Heshbon <2809> shall cry <2199>, and Elealeh <0500>:
their voice <6963> shall be heard <8085> [even] unto Jahaz
<3096>: therefore the armed <2502> soldiers < 2502> of Moab
<4124> shall cry <7321> out; his life <5315> shall be grievous
<3415> unto him.



5 My heart <3820> shall cry <2199> out for Moab < 4124>; his
fugitives <1280> [shall flee] unto Zoar <6820>, an heifer <5697>
of three <7992> years old <7992>: for by the mounting <4608> up
of Luhith <3872> with weeping <1065> shall they go <5927> it up;
for in the way <1870> of Horonaim <2773> they shall raise <5782>
up a cry <2201> of destruction <7667>.



6. For the waters <4325> of Nimrim <5249> shall be desolate
<4923>: for the hay <2682> is withered <3001> away, the grass
<1877> faileth <3615>, there is no <3808> green <3418> thing.



7 Therefore the abundance <3502> they have gotten < 6213>, and
that which they have laid <6486> up, shall they carry < 5375>
away to the brook <5158> of the willows <6155>.



8 For the cry <2201> is gone <5362> round < 5362> about the
borders <1366> of Moab <4124>; the howling < 3213> thereof unto
Eglaim <97>, and the howling <3213> thereof unto Beerelim <0879>.



9 For the waters <4325> of Dimon <1775> shall be full <4390> of
blood <1818>: for I will bring <7896> more < 3254> upon Dimon
<1775>, lions <0738> upon him that escapeth < 6413> of Moab
<4124>, and upon the remnant <7611> of the land < 0127>.



Isaiah 16



1. Send <7971> ye the lamb <3733> to the ruler < 4910> of the
land <0776> from Sela <5554> to the wilderness < 4057>, unto the
mount <2022> of the daughter <1323> of Zion < 6726>.



2 For it shall be, [that], as a wandering <5074> bird < 5775>
cast <7971> out of the nest <7064>, [so] the daughters <1121> of
Moab <4124> shall be at the fords <4569> of Arnon < 0769>.



3 Take <0935> counsel <6098>, execute <6213> judgment <6415>;
make <7896> thy shadow <6738> as the night < 3915> in the midst
<8432> of the noonday <6672>; hide <5641> the outcasts <5080>;
bewray <1540> not him that wandereth <5074>.



4 Let mine outcasts <5080> dwell <1481> with thee, Moab <4124>;
be thou a covert <5643> to them from the face <6440> of the
spoiler <7703>: for the extortioner <4160> is at an end <0657>,
the spoiler <7701> ceaseth <3615>, the oppressors < 7429> are
consumed <8552> out of the land <0776>.



5 And in mercy <2617> shall the throne <3678> be established
<3559>: and he shall sit <3427> upon it in truth < 0571> in the
tabernacle <0168> of David <1732>, judging < 8199>, and seeking
<1875> judgment <4941>, and hasting <4106> righteousness <6664>.



6. We have heard <8085> of the pride <1347> of Moab <4124>; [he
is] very <3966> proud <1341>: [even] of his haughtiness <1346>,
and his pride <1347>, and his wrath <5678>: [but] his lies
<0907> [shall] not [be] so <3651>.



7 Therefore <3651> shall Moab <4124> howl < 3213> for Moab
<4124>, every <3605> one shall howl <3213>: for the foundations
<0808> of Kirhareseth <7025> shall ye mourn < 1897>; surely
<0389> [they are] stricken <5218>.



8 For the fields <7709> of Heshbon <2809> languish <0535>,
[and] the vine <1612> of Sibmah <7643>: the lords < 1167> of the
heathen <1471> have broken <1986> down the principal <8291>
plants <8291> thereof, they are come <5060> [even] unto Jazer
<3270>, they wandered <8582> [through] the wilderness <4057>:
her branches <7976> are stretched <5203> out, they are gone
<5674> over <5674> the sea <3220>.



9 Therefore I will bewail <1058> with the weeping < 1065> of
Jazer <3270> the vine <1612> of Sibmah <7643>: I will water
<7301> thee with my tears <1832>, O Heshbon < 2809>, and Elealeh
<0500>: for the shouting <1959> for thy summer < 7019> fruits and
for thy harvest <7105> is fallen <5307>.



10 And gladness <8057> is taken <0622> away, and joy <1524> out
of the plentiful <3759> field; and in the vineyards < 3754> there
shall be no <3808> singing <7442>, neither < 3808> shall there be
shouting <0731>: the treaders <1869> shall tread < 1869> out no
<3808> wine <3196> in [their] presses <3342>; I have made [their
vintage] shouting <1959> to cease <7673>.



11 Wherefore my bowels <4578> shall sound <1993> like an harp
<3658> for Moab <4124>, and mine inward <7130> parts for
Kirharesh <7025>.



12 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> it is seen
<7200> that Moab <4124> is weary <3811> on < 5921> the high
<1116> place, that he shall come <0935> to his sanctuary <4720>
to pray <6419>; but he shall not prevail <3201>.



13 This <2008> [is] the word <1697> that the LORD <3068> hath
spoken <1696> concerning <0413> Moab <4124> since that time
<0227>.



14 But now <6258> the LORD <3068> hath spoken < 1696>, saying
<0559>, Within three <7969> years <8141>, as the years <8141> of
an hireling <7916>, and the glory <3519> of Moab < 4124> shall be
contemned <7034>, with all <3605> that great < 7227> multitude
<1995>; and the remnant <7605> [shall be] very < 4213> small
<4213> [and] feeble <3808>.



Isaiah 17



1. The burden <4853> of Damascus <1834>. Behold < 2009>,
Damascus <1834> is taken <5493> away <5493> from [being] a city
<5892>, and it shall be a ruinous <4654> heap < 4596>.



2 The cities <5892> of Aroer <6177> [are] forsaken <5800>: they
shall be for flocks <5739>, which shall lie <7257> down <7257>,
and none <0369> shall make [them] afraid <2729>.



3 The fortress <4013> also shall cease <7673> from Ephraim
<0669>, and the kingdom <4467> from Damascus < 1834>, and the
remnant <7605> of Syria <0758>: they shall be as the glory
<3519> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.



4 And in that day <3117> it shall come <1961> to pass, [that]
the glory <3519> of Jacob <3290> shall be made thin <1809>, and
the fatness <4924> of his flesh <1320> shall wax lean <7329>.



5 And it shall be as when the harvestman <7105> gathereth
<0622> the corn <7054>, and reapeth <7114> the ears <7641> with
his arm <2220>; and it shall be as he that gathereth < 3950> ears
<7641> in the valley <6010> of Rephaim <7497>.



6. Yet gleaning <5955> grapes shall be left <7604> in it, as
the shaking <5363> of an olive <2132> tree, two < 8147> [or]
three <7969> berries <1620> in the top <7218> of the uppermost
bough <0534>, four <0702> [or] five <2568> in the outmost
fruitful <6509> branches <5585> thereof, saith < 5002> the LORD
<3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>.



7 At that day <3117> shall a man <0120> look < 8159> to his
Maker <6213>, and his eyes <5869> shall have respect <7200> to
the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.



8 And he shall not look <8159> to the altars <4196>, the work
<4639> of his hands <3027>, neither <3808> shall respect <7200>
[that] which <0834> his fingers <0676> have made < 6213>, either
the groves <0842>, or the images <2553>.



9. In that day <3117> shall his strong <4581> cities <5892> be
as a forsaken <5800> bough <2793>, and an uppermost branch
<0534>, which <0834> they left <5800> because <6440> of the
children <1121> of Israel <3478>: and there shall be desolation
<8077>.



10 Because <3588> thou hast forgotten <7911> the God <0430> of
thy salvation <3468>, and hast not been mindful <2142> of the
rock <6697> of thy strength <4581>, therefore shalt thou plant
<5193> pleasant <2532> plants <5194>, and shalt set <2232> it
with strange <2114> slips <2156>:



11 In the day <3117> shalt thou make thy plant <5194> to grow
<7735>, and in the morning <1242> shalt thou make thy seed
<2233> to flourish <6524>: [but] the harvest < 7105> [shall be] a
heap <5067> in the day <3117> of grief <2470> and of desperate
<0605> sorrow <3511>.



12. Woe <1945> to the multitude <1995> of many < 7227> people
<5971>, [which] make a noise <1993> like the noise <1993> of the
seas <3220>; and to the rushing <7588> of nations < 3816>, [that]
make a rushing <7582> like the rushing <7582> of mighty <3524>
waters <4325>!



13 The nations <3816> shall rush <7582> like the rushing <7588>
of many <7227> waters <4325>: but [God] shall rebuke <1605> them,
and they shall flee <5127> far <4801> off, and shall be chased
<7291> as the chaff <4671> of the mountains < 2022> before <6440>
the wind <7307>, and like a rolling <1534> thing before <6440>
the whirlwind.



14 And behold <2009> at eveningtide trouble <1091>; [and]
before <2962> the morning <1242> he [is] not. This <2088> [is]
the portion <2506> of them that spoil <8154> us, and the lot
<1486> of them that rob <0962> us.



Isaiah 18



1. Woe <1945> to the land <0776> shadowing < 6767> with wings
<3671>, which <0834> [is] beyond <5676> the rivers <5104> of
Ethiopia <3568>:



2 That sendeth <7971> ambassadors <6735> by the sea <3220>,
even in vessels <3627> of bulrushes <1573> upon the waters
<4325>, [saying], Go <3212>, ye swift <7031> messengers <4397>,
to a nation <1471> scattered <4900> and peeled < 4178>, to a
people <5971> terrible <3372> from their beginning <1931>
hitherto <1973>; a nation <1471> meted <6978> out and trodden
<4001> down, whose <0834> land <0776> the rivers <5104> have
spoiled <0958>!



3 All <3605> ye inhabitants <3427> of the world < 8398>, and
dwellers <7931> on the earth <0776>, see <7200> ye, when he
lifteth <5375> up an ensign <5251> on the mountains <2022>; and
when he bloweth <8628> a trumpet <7782>, hear < 8085> ye.



4 For so <3541> the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, I will
take my rest <8252>, and I will consider <5027> in my dwelling
<4349> place like a clear <6703> heat <2527> upon herbs <0216>,
[and] like a cloud <5645> of dew <2919> in the heat <2527> of
harvest <7105>.



5 For afore <6440> the harvest <7105>, when < 3588> the bud
<6525> is perfect <8552>, and the sour <1155> grape <1155> is
ripening <1580> in the flower <5327>, he shall both cut <3772>
off the sprigs <2150> with pruning hooks, and take < 5493> away
<5493> [and] cut <8456> down the branches <5189> .



6 They shall be left <5800> together <3162> unto the fowls
<5861> of the mountains <2022>, and to the beasts < 0929> of the
earth <0776>: and the fowls <5861> shall summer < 6972> upon them,
and all <3605> the beasts <0929> of the earth < 0776> shall
winter <2778> upon them.



7 In that time <6256> shall the present <7862> be brought
<2986> unto the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> of a people <5971>
scattered <4900> and peeled <4178>, and from a people <5971>
terrible <3372> from their beginning <1931> hitherto <1973>; a
nation <1471> meted <6978> out and trodden < 4001> under foot
<4001>, whose <0834> land <0776> the rivers < 5104> have spoiled
<0958>, to the place <4725> of the name <8034> of the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635>, the mount <2022> Zion <6726>.



Isaiah 19



1. The burden <4853> of Egypt <4714>. Behold < 2009>, the LORD
<3068> rideth <7392> upon a swift <7031> cloud <5645>, and shall
come <0935> into Egypt <4714>: and the idols < 0457> of Egypt
<4714> shall be moved <5128> at his presence < 6440>, and the
heart <3824> of Egypt <4714> shall melt <4549> in the midst
<7130> of it.



2 And I will set <5526> the Egyptians <4714> against the
Egyptians <4714>: and they shall fight <3898> every <0376> one
<0376> against his brother <0251>, and every < 0376> one <0376>
against his neighbour <7453>; city <5892> against city <5892>,
[and] kingdom <4467> against kingdom <4467>.



3 And the spirit <7307> of Egypt <4714> shall fail <1238> in
the midst <7130> thereof; and I will destroy <1104> the counsel
<6098> thereof: and they shall seek <1875> to the idols <0457>,
and to the charmers <0328>, and to them that have familiar
spirits <0178>, and to the wizards <3049>.



4 And the Egyptians <4714> will I give <5534> over <5534> into
the hand <3027> of a cruel <7186> lord <0113>; and a fierce
<5794> king <4428> shall rule <4910> over them, saith <5002> the
Lord <0113>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.



5 And the waters <4325> shall fail <5405> from the sea <3220>,
and the river <5104> shall be wasted <2717> and dried <3001> up.



6 And they shall turn <2186> the rivers <5104> far away; [and]
the brooks <2975> of defence <4692> shall be emptied <1809> and
dried <2717> up: the reeds <7070> and flags < 5488> shall wither
<7060>.



7 The paper <6169> reeds by the brooks <2975>, by the mouth
<6310> of the brooks <2975>, and every <3605> thing sown <4218>
by the brooks <2975>, shall wither <3001>, be driven <5086> away,
and be no <0369> [more].



8 The fishers <1771> also shall mourn <0578>, and all <3605>
they that cast <7993> angle <2443> into the brooks <2975> shall
lament <56>, and they that spread <6566> nets < 4364> upon the
waters <4325> shall languish <0535>.



9 Moreover they that work <5647> in fine <8305> flax <6593>,
and they that weave <0707> networks <2355>, shall be confounded
<0954>.



10 And they shall be broken <1792> in the purposes < 8356>
thereof, all <3605> that make <6213> sluices < 7938> [and] ponds
<99> for fish <5315>.



11 Surely <0389> the princes <8269> of Zoan < 6814> [are] fools
<0191>, the counsel <6098> of the wise <2450> counsellors <3289>
of Pharaoh <6547> is become <1197> brutish < 1197>: how <0349>
say <0559> ye unto Pharaoh <6547>, I [am] the son < 1121> of the
wise <2450>, the son <1121> of ancient <6924> kings <4428>?



12 Where <0335> [are] they? where <0645> [are] thy wise <2450>
[men]? and let them tell <5046> thee now <4994>, and let them
know <3045> what <4100> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath
purposed <3289> upon Egypt <4714>.



13 The princes <8269> of Zoan <6814> are become < 2973> fools
<2973>, the princes <8269> of Noph <5297> are deceived <5377>;
they have also seduced <8582> Egypt <4714>, [even they that are]
the stay <6438> of the tribes <7626> thereof.



14 The LORD <3068> hath mingled <4537> a perverse <5773> spirit
<7307> in the midst <7130> thereof: and they have caused Egypt
<4714> to err <8582> in every <3605> work < 4639> thereof, as a
drunken <7910> [man] staggereth <8582> in his vomit <6892>.



15 Neither <3808> shall there be [any] work <4639> for Egypt
<4714>, which the head <7218> or tail <2180>, branch <3712> or
rush <0100>, may do <6213>.



16 In that day <3117> shall Egypt <4714> be like unto women
<0802>: and it shall be afraid <2729> and fear < 6342> because
<6440> of the shaking <8573> of the hand <3027> of the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635>, which <0834> he shaketh <5130> over
<5921> it.



17 And the land <0127> of Judah <3063> shall be a terror <2283>
unto Egypt <4714>, every <3605> one that maketh mention <2142>
thereof shall be afraid <6342> in himself, because < 6440> of the
counsel <6098> of the LORD <3068> of hosts < 6635>, which <0834>
he hath determined <3289> against <5921> it.



18. In that day <3117> shall five <2568> cities < 5892> in the
land <0776> of Egypt <4714> speak <1696> the language <8193> of
Canaan <3667>, and swear <7650> to the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>; one <0259> shall be called <0559>, The city <5892> of
destruction <2041>.



19 In that day <3117> shall there be an altar <4196> to the
LORD <3068> in the midst <8432> of the land < 0776> of Egypt
<4714>, and a pillar <4676> at <0681> the border <1366> thereof
to the LORD <3068>.



20 And it shall be for a sign <0226> and for a witness < 5707>
unto the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> in the land < 0776> of Egypt
<4714>: for they shall cry <6817> unto the LORD < 3068> because
<6440> of the oppressors <3905>, and he shall send <7971> them a
saviour <3467>, and a great <7227> one, and he shall deliver
<5337> them.



21 And the LORD <3068> shall be known <3045> to Egypt <4714>,
and the Egyptians <4714> shall know <3045> the LORD <3068> in
that day <3117>, and shall do <5647> sacrifice < 2077> and
oblation <4503>; yea, they shall vow <5087> a vow < 5088> unto
the LORD <3068>, and perform <7999> [it].



22 And the LORD <3068> shall smite <5062> Egypt < 4714>: he
shall smite <5062> and heal <7495> [it]: and they shall return
<7725> [even] to the LORD <3068>, and he shall be intreated
<6279> of them, and shall heal <7495> them.



23 In that day <3117> shall there be a highway <4546> out of
Egypt <4714> to Assyria <0804>, and the Assyrian < 0804> shall
come <0935> into Egypt <4714>, and the Egyptian < 4714> into
Assyria <0804>, and the Egyptians <4714> shall serve <5647> with
the Assyrians <0804>.



24 In that day <3117> shall Israel <3478> be the third <7992>
with Egypt <4714> and with Assyria <0804>, [even] a blessing
<1293> in the midst <7130> of the land <0776>:



25 Whom <0834> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> shall bless
<1288>, saying <0559>, Blessed <1288> [be] Egypt <4714> my
people <5971>, and Assyria <0804> the work < 4639> of my hands
<3027>, and Israel <3478> mine inheritance < 5159>.



Isaiah 20



1. In the year <8141> that Tartan <8661> came < 0935> unto
Ashdod <0795>, (when Sargon <5623> the king < 4428> of Assyria
<0804> sent <7971> him,) and fought <3898> against Ashdod <0795>,
and took <3920> it;



2 At the same <1931> time <6256> spake <1696> the LORD <3068>
by Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz <0531>, saying <0559>,
Go <3212> and loose <6605> the sackcloth <8242> from off <5921>
thy loins <4975>, and put <2502> off thy shoe < 5275> from thy
foot <7272>. And he did <6213> so <3651>, walking <1980> naked
<6174> and barefoot <3182>.



3 And the LORD <3068> said <0559>, Like as my servant <5650>
Isaiah <3470> hath walked <1980> naked <6174> and barefoot
<3182> three <7969> years <8141> [for] a sign <0226> and wonder
<4159> upon Egypt <4714> and upon Ethiopia < 3568>;



4 So <3651> shall the king <4428> of Assyria < 0804> lead <5090>
away the Egyptians <4714> prisoners <7628>, and the Ethiopians
<3569> captives <1546>, young <5288> and old <2205>, naked
<6174> and barefoot <3182>, even with [their] buttocks <8357>
uncovered <2834>, to the shame <6172> of Egypt < 4714>.



5 And they shall be afraid <2865> and ashamed <0954> of
Ethiopia <3568> their expectation <4007>, and of Egypt <4714>
their glory <8597>.



6 And the inhabitant <3427> of this <2088> isle < 0339> shall
say <0559> in that day <3117>, Behold <2009>, such <3541> [is]
our expectation <4007>, whither we flee <5127> for help <5833>
to be delivered <5337> from the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>:
and how <0349> shall we escape <4422>?



Isaiah 21



1. The burden <4853> of the desert <4057> of the sea <3220>. As
whirlwinds <5492> in the south <5045> pass < 2498> through; [so]
it cometh <0935> from the desert <4057>, from a terrible <3372>
land <0776>.



2 A grievous <7186> vision <2380> is declared < 5046> unto me;
the treacherous <0898> dealer dealeth treacherously < 0898>, and
the spoiler <7703> spoileth <7703>. Go <5927> up, O Elam <5867>:
besiege <6696>, O Media <4074>; all <3605> the sighing <0585>
thereof have I made to cease <7673>.



3 Therefore are my loins <4975> filled <4390> with pain <2479>:
pangs <6735> have taken <0270> hold <0270> upon me, as the pangs
<6735> of a woman that travaileth <3205>: I was bowed <5791>
down at the hearing <8085> [of it]; I was dismayed < 0926> at the
seeing <7200> [of it].



4 My heart <3824> panted <8582>, fearfulness < 6427> affrighted
<1204> me: the night <5399> of my pleasure < 2837> hath he turned
<7760> into fear <2731> unto me.



5 Prepare <6186> the table <7979>, watch <6822> in the
watchtower <6844>, eat <0398>, drink <8354>: arise <6965>, ye
princes <8269>, [and] anoint <4886> the shield < 4043>.



6 For thus <3541> hath the Lord <0136> said < 0559> unto me, Go
<3212>, set <5975> a watchman <6822>, let him declare <5046>
what <0834> he seeth <7200>.



7 And he saw <7200> a chariot <7393> [with] a couple <6776> of
horsemen <6571>, a chariot <7393> of asses < 2543>, [and] a
chariot <7393> of camels <1581>; and he hearkened < 7181>
diligently <7182> with much <7227> heed <7182>:



8 And he cried <7121>, A lion <0738>: My lord < 0136>, I stand
<5975> continually <8548> upon the watchtower < 4707> in the
daytime <3119>, and I am set <5324> in my ward < 4931> whole
<3605> nights <3915>:



9 And, behold <2009>, here <2088> cometh <0935> a chariot
<7393> of men <0376>, [with] a couple <6776> of horsemen <6571>.
And he answered <6030> and said <0559>, Babylon < 0894> is fallen
<5307>, is fallen <5307>; and all <3605> the graven <6456>
images of her gods <0430> he hath broken <7665> unto the ground
<0776>.



10 O my threshing <4098>, and the corn <1121> of my floor
<1637>: that which <0834> I have heard <8085> of the LORD <3068>
of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478> , have I
declared <5046> unto you.



11. The burden <4853> of Dumah <1746>. He calleth <7121> to me
out of Seir <8165>, Watchman <8104>, what <4100> of the night
<3915>? Watchman <8104>, what <4100> of the night <3915>?



12 The watchman <8104> said <0559>, The morning < 1242> cometh
<0857>, and also <1571> the night <3915>: if <0518> ye will
enquire <1158>, enquire <1158> ye: return <7725> , come <0857>.



13. The burden <4853> upon Arabia <6152>. In the forest <3293>
in Arabia <6152> shall ye lodge <3885>, O ye travelling <0736>
companies <0736> of Dedanim <1720>.



14 The inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776> of Tema <8485>
brought <0857> water <4325> to him that was thirsty <6771>, they
prevented <6923> with their bread <3899> him that fled <5074>.



15 For they fled <5074> from the swords <2719>, from the drawn
<5203> sword <2719>, and from the bent <1869> bow <7198>, and
from the grievousness <3514> of war <4421>.



16 For thus <3541> hath the Lord <0136> said < 0559> unto me,
Within <5750> a year <8141>, according to the years <8141> of an
hireling <7916>, and all <3605> the glory <3519> of Kedar <6938>
shall fail <3615>:



17 And the residue <7605> of the number <4557> of archers
<7198>, the mighty <1368> men of the children < 1121> of Kedar
<6938>, shall be diminished <4591>: for the LORD < 3068> God
<0430> of Israel <3478> hath spoken <1696> [it].



Isaiah 22



1. The burden <4853> of the valley <1516> of vision <2384>.
What <4100> aileth thee now <0645>, that thou art wholly <3605>
gone <5927> up to the housetops <1406>?



2 Thou that art full <4392> of stirs <8663>, a tumultuous
<1993> city <5892>, a joyous <5947> city < 7151>: thy slain
<2491> [men are] not slain <2491> with the sword < 2719>, nor
<3808> dead <4191> in battle <4421>.



3 All <3605> thy rulers <7101> are fled <5074> together <3162>,
they are bound <0631> by the archers <7198>: all < 3605> that are
found <4672> in thee are bound <0631> together < 3162>, [which]
have fled <1272> from far <7350>.



4 Therefore said <0559> I, Look <8159> away from me; I will
weep <1065> bitterly <4843>, labour <0213> not to comfort <5162>
me, because <5921> of the spoiling <7701> of the daughter <1323>
of my people <5971>.



5 For [it is] a day <3117> of trouble <4103>, and of treading
<4001> down, and of perplexity <3998> by the Lord < 0136> GOD
<3069> of hosts <6635> in the valley <1516> of vision <2384>,
breaking <6979> down the walls <7023>, and of crying <7771> to
the mountains <2022>.



6 And Elam <5867> bare <5375> the quiver <0827> with chariots
<7393> of men <0120> [and] horsemen <6571>, and Kir <7024>
uncovered <6168> the shield <4043>.



7 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] thy choicest <4055>
valleys <6010> shall be full <4390> of chariots < 7393>, and the
horsemen <6571> shall set <7896> themselves in array <7896> at
the gate <8179>.



8. And he discovered <1540> the covering <4539> of Judah <3063>,
and thou didst look <5027> in that day <3117> to the armour
<5402> of the house <1004> of the forest <3293>.



9 Ye have seen <7200> also the breaches <1233> of the city
<5892> of David <1732>, that they are many < 7231>: and ye
gathered <6908> together the waters <4325> of the lower <8481>
pool <1295>.



10 And ye have numbered <5608> the houses <1004> of Jerusalem
<3389>, and the houses <1004> have ye broken < 5422> down <5422>
to fortify <1219> the wall <2346>.



11 Ye made <6213> also a ditch <4724> between < 0996> the two
walls <2346> for the water <4325> of the old < 3465> pool <1295>:
but ye have not looked <5027> unto the maker <6213> thereof,
neither <3808> had respect <7200> unto him that fashioned <3335>
it long <7350> ago <7350>.



12 And in that day <3117> did the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of
hosts <6635> call <7121> to weeping <1065>, and to mourning
<4553>, and to baldness <7144>, and to girding < 2296> with
sackcloth <8242>:



13 And behold <2009> joy <8342> and gladness < 8057>, slaying
<2026> oxen <1241>, and killing <7819> sheep <6629>, eating
<0398> flesh <1320>, and drinking <8354> wine <3196>: let us eat
<0398> and drink <8354>; for to morrow <4279> we shall die
<4191>.



14 And it was revealed <1540> in mine ears <0241> by the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635>, Surely <0518> this < 2088> iniquity
<5771> shall not be purged <3722> from you till < 5704> ye die
<4191>, saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD < 3069> of hosts <6635>.



15. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of
hosts <6635>, Go <3212>, get <0935> thee unto this <2088>
treasurer <5532>, [even] unto Shebna <7644>, which <0834> [is]
over <5921> the house <1004>, [and say <0559>],



16 What <4100> hast thou here <6311>? and whom < 4310> hast thou
here <6311>, that thou hast hewed <2672> thee out a sepulchre
<6913> here <6311>, [as] he that heweth <2672> him out a
sepulchre <6913> on high <4791>, [and] that graveth an
habitation <4908> for himself in a rock <5553>?



17 Behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> will carry < 2904> thee away
with a mighty <1397> captivity <2925>, and will surely cover
<5844> thee.



18 He will surely violently turn <6801> and toss < 6802> thee
[like] a ball <1754> into <0413> a large country < 0776>: there
<8033> shalt thou die <4191>, and there <8033> the chariots
<4818> of thy glory <3519> [shall be] the shame < 7036> of thy
lord's <0113> house <1004>.



19 And I will drive <1920> thee from thy station < 4673>, and
from thy state <4612> shall he pull <2040> thee down.



20 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, that I
will call <7121> my servant <5650> Eliakim < 0471> the son <1121>
of Hilkiah <2518>:



21 And I will clothe <3847> him with thy robe <3301>, and
strengthen <2388> him with thy girdle <73>, and I will commit
<5414> thy government <4475> into his hand < 3027>: and he shall
be a father <1> to the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>,
and to the house <1004> of Judah <3063>.



22 And the key <4668> of the house <1004> of David <1732> will
I lay <5414> upon his shoulder <7926>; so he shall open <6605>,
and none <0369> shall shut <5462>; and he shall shut <5462>, and
none <0369> shall open <6605>.



23 And I will fasten <8628> him [as] a nail <3489> in a sure
<0539> place <4725>; and he shall be for a glorious <3519>
throne <3678> to his father's <1> house <1004>.



24 And they shall hang <8518> upon him all <3605> the glory
<3519> of his father's <1> house <1004>, the offspring <6631>
and the issue <6849>, all <3605> vessels <3627> of small <6996>
quantity, from the vessels <3627> of cups <0101>, even to all
<3605> the vessels <3627> of flagons <5035>.



25 In that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>, shall the nail <3489> that is fastened < 8628> in the
sure <0539> place <4725> be removed <4185>, and be cut <1438>
down <1438>, and fall <5307>; and the burden < 4853> that [was]
upon it shall be cut <3772> off: for the LORD <3068> hath spoken
<1696> [it].



Isaiah 23



1. The burden <4853> of Tyre <6865>. Howl < 3213>, ye ships
<0591> of Tarshish <8659>; for it is laid waste < 7703>, so that
there is no house <1004>, no entering <0935> in: from the land
<0776> of Chittim <3794> it is revealed <1540> to them.



2 Be still <1826>, ye inhabitants <3427> of the isle <0339>;
thou whom the merchants <5503> of Zidon <6721>, that pass <5674>
over <5674> the sea <3220>, have replenished < 4390>.



3 And by great <7227> waters <4325> the seed < 2233> of Sihor
<7883>, the harvest <7105> of the river <2975>, [is] her revenue
<8393>; and she is a mart <5505> of nations < 1471>.



4 Be thou ashamed <0954>, O Zidon <6721>: for the sea <3220>
hath spoken <0559>, [even] the strength <4581> of the sea <3220>,
saying <0559>, I travail <2342> not, nor <3808> bring <3205>
forth <3205> children, neither <3808> do I nourish <1431> up
young <0970> men, [nor] bring <7311> up virgins < 1330>.



5 As at the report <8088> concerning Egypt <4714>, [so] shall
they be sorely pained <2342> at the report <8088> of Tyre <6865>.



6 Pass <5674> ye over <5674> to Tarshish <8659> ; howl <3213>,
ye inhabitants <3427> of the isle <0339>.



7 [Is] this <2063> your joyous <5947> [city], whose antiquity
<6927> [is] of ancient <6924> days <3117>? her own feet <7272>
shall carry <2986> her afar <7350> off to sojourn < 1481>.



8 Who <4310> hath taken this <2063> counsel < 3289> against
<5921> Tyre <6865>, the crowning <5849> [city], whose <0834>
merchants <5503> [are] princes <8269>, whose traffickers <3669>
[are] the honourable <1935> of the earth <0776>?



9 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath purposed < 3289> it, to
stain <2490> the pride <1347> of all <3605> glory <6643>, [and]
to bring <7034> into contempt <7043> all <3605> the honourable
<3513> of the earth <0776>.



10 Pass <5674> through thy land <0776> as a river <2975>, O
daughter <1323> of Tarshish <8659>: [there is] no < 0369> more
<5750> strength <4206>.



11 He stretched <5186> out his hand <3027> over < 5921> the sea
<3220>, he shook <7264> the kingdoms <4467>: the LORD <3068>
hath given a commandment <6680> against <0413> the merchant
<3667> [city], to destroy <8045> the strong < 4581> holds <4581>
thereof.



12 And he said <0559>, Thou shalt no <3808> more < 5750> rejoice
<5937>, O thou oppressed <6231> virgin <1330>, daughter <1323>
of Zidon <6721>: arise <6965>, pass <5674> over <5674> to
Chittim <3794>; there <8033> also <1571> shalt thou have no
<3808> rest <5117>.



13 Behold <2005> the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>; this
<2088> people <5971> was not, [till] the Assyrian < 0804> founded
<3245> it for them that dwell in the wilderness <6728> : they set
<6965> up the towers <0971> thereof, they raised < 6209> up the
palaces <0759> thereof; [and] he brought <7760> it to ruin
<4654>.



14 Howl <3213>, ye ships <0591> of Tarshish < 8659>: for your
strength <4581> is laid waste <7703>.



15. And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, that
Tyre <6865> shall be forgotten <7911> seventy < 7657> years
<8141>, according to the days <3117> of one < 0259> king <4428>:
after the end <7093> of seventy <7657> years < 8141> shall Tyre
<6865> sing <7892> as an harlot <2181>.



16 Take <3947> an harp <3658>, go <5437> about <5437> the city
<5892>, thou harlot <2181> that hast been forgotten <7911>; make
sweet <3190> melody <5059>, sing many <7235> songs <7892>, that
thou mayest be remembered <2142>.



17 And it shall come <1961> to pass after the end < 7093> of
seventy <7657> years <8141>, that the LORD < 3068> will visit
<6485> Tyre <6865>, and she shall turn <7725> to her hire <0868>,
and shall commit <2181> fornication <2181> with all <3605> the
kingdoms <4467> of the world <0776> upon the face < 6440> of the
earth <0127>.



18 And her merchandise <5504> and her hire <0868> shall be
holiness <6944> to the LORD <3068>: it shall not be treasured
<0686> nor <3808> laid <2630> up; for her merchandise <5504>
shall be for them that dwell <3427> before <6440> the LORD
<3068>, to eat <0398> sufficiently <7654>, and for durable
<6266> clothing <4374>.



Isaiah 24



1. Behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> maketh the earth <0776> empty
<1238>, and maketh it waste <1110>, and turneth < 5753> it upside
down, and scattereth <6327> abroad <6327> the inhabitants <3427>
thereof.



2 And it shall be, as with the people <5971>, so with the
priest <3548>; as with the servant <5650>, so with his master
<0113>; as with the maid <8198>, so with her mistress <1404>; as
with the buyer <7069>, so with the seller <4376>; as with the
lender <3867>, so with the borrower <3867>; as with the taker of
usury <5383>, so with the giver of usury <5378> to him.



3 The land <0776> shall be utterly emptied <1238>, and utterly
spoiled <0962>: for the LORD <3068> hath spoken < 1696> this
<2088> word <1697>.



4 The earth <0776> mourneth <56> [and] fadeth < 5034> away, the
world <8398> languisheth <0535> [and] fadeth < 5034> away, the
haughty <4791> people <5971> of the earth <0776> do languish
<0535>.



5 The earth <0776> also is defiled <2610> under < 8478> the
inhabitants <3427> thereof; because <3588> they have
transgressed <5674> the laws <8451>, changed < 2498> the
ordinance <2706>, broken <6565> the everlasting < 5769> covenant
<1285>.



6 Therefore hath the curse <0423> devoured <0398> the earth
<0776>, and they that dwell <3427> therein are desolate <0816>:
therefore the inhabitants <3427> of the earth <0776> are burned
<2787>, and few <4213> men <0582> left < 7604>.



7 The new <8492> wine <8492> mourneth <56>, the vine <1612>
languisheth <0535>, all <3605> the merryhearted do sigh <0584>.



8 The mirth <4885> of tabrets <8596> ceaseth < 7673>, the noise
<7588> of them that rejoice <5947> endeth <2308> , the joy <4885>
of the harp <3658> ceaseth <7673>.



9 They shall not drink <8354> wine <3196> with a song <7892>;
strong drink <7941> shall be bitter <4843> to them that drink
<8354> it.



10 The city <7151> of confusion <8414> is broken < 7665> down:
every <3605> house <1004> is shut <5462> up, that no man <0935>
may come <0935> in.



11 [There is] a crying <6682> for wine <3196> in the streets
<2351>; all <3605> joy <8057> is darkened < 6150>, the mirth
<4885> of the land <0776> is gone <1540>.



12 In the city <5892> is left <7604> desolation < 8047>, and the
gate <8179> is smitten <3807> with destruction < 7591>.



13. When <3588> thus <3541> it shall be in the midst <7130> of
the land <0776> among <8432> the people <5971>, [there shall be]
as the shaking <5363> of an olive <2132> tree, [and] as the
gleaning <5955> grapes when <0518> the vintage < 1210> is done
<3615>.



14 They shall lift <5375> up their voice <6963>, they shall
sing <7442> for the majesty <1347> of the LORD < 3068>, they
shall cry <6670> aloud <6670> from the sea < 3220>.



15 Wherefore glorify <3513> ye the LORD <3068> in the fires
<0217>, [even] the name <8034> of the LORD < 3068> God <0430> of
Israel <3478> in the isles <0339> of the sea < 3220>.



16. From the uttermost <3671> part of the earth < 0776> have we
heard <8085> songs <2158>, [even] glory <6643> to the righteous
<6662>. But I said <0559>, My leanness <7334>, my leanness
<7334>, woe <0188> unto me! the treacherous < 0898> dealers have
dealt treacherously <0898>; yea, the treacherous < 0898> dealers
have dealt very <0899> treacherously <0898>.



17 Fear <6343>, and the pit <6354>, and the snare <6341>, [are]
upon thee, O inhabitant <3427> of the earth <0776>.



18 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] he who fleeth
<5127> from the noise <6963> of the fear <6343> shall fall
<5307> into <0413> the pit <6354>; and he that cometh <5927> up
out of the midst <8432> of the pit <6354> shall be taken <3920>
in the snare <6341>: for the windows <0699> from on high <4791>
are open <6605>, and the foundations <4146> of the earth <0776>
do shake <7493>.



19 The earth <0776> is utterly broken <7489> down, the earth
<0776> is clean <6565> dissolved <6565>, the earth <0776> is
moved <4132> exceedingly.



20 The earth <0776> shall reel <5128> to and fro like a
drunkard <7910>, and shall be removed <5110> like a cottage
<4412>; and the transgression <6588> thereof shall be heavy
<3513> upon it; and it shall fall <5307>, and not rise <6965>
again <3254>.



21 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
the LORD <3068> shall punish <6485> the host < 6635> of the high
<4791> ones [that are] on high <4791>, and the kings <4428> of
the earth <0127> upon the earth <0127>.



22 And they shall be gathered <0622> together, [as] prisoners
<0616> are gathered <0626> in the pit <0953>, and shall be shut
<5462> up in the prison <4525>, and after many < 7230> days
<3117> shall they be visited <6485>.



23 Then the moon <3842> shall be confounded <2659>, and the sun
<2535> ashamed <0954>, when <3588> the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635> shall reign <4427> in mount <2022> Zion <6726>, and in
Jerusalem <3389>, and before <5048> his ancients < 2204>
gloriously <3519>.



Isaiah 25



1. O LORD <3068>, thou [art] my God <0430>; I will exalt <7311>
thee, I will praise <3034> thy name <8034>; for thou hast done
<6213> wonderful <6382> [things; thy] counsels < 6098> of old
<7350> [are] faithfulness <0530> [and] truth < 0544>.



2 For thou hast made <7760> of a city <5892> an heap <1530>;
[of] a defenced <1219> city <7151> a ruin <4654> : a palace
<0759> of strangers <2114> to be no city <5892>; it shall never
be built <1129>.



3 Therefore shall the strong <5794> people <5971> glorify
<3513> thee, the city <7151> of the terrible < 6184> nations
<1471> shall fear <3372> thee.



4 For thou hast been <1961> a strength <4581> to the poor
<1800>, a strength <4581> to the needy <34> in his distress
<6862>, a refuge <4268> from the storm <2230>, a shadow <6738>
from the heat <2721>, when <3588> the blast < 7307> of the
terrible <6184> ones [is] as a storm <2230> [against] the wall
<7023>.



5 Thou shalt bring <3665> down <3665> the noise < 7588> of
strangers <2114>, as the heat <2721> in a dry < 6724> place;
[even] the heat <2721> with the shadow <6738> of a cloud <5645>:
the branch <2158> of the terrible <6184> ones shall be brought
<6030> low <6030>.



6. And in this <2088> mountain <2022> shall the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635> make <6213> unto all <3605> people <5971> a feast
<4960> of fat <8081> things, a feast <4960> of wines <8105> on
the lees <8105>, of fat <8081> things full of marrow <4229>, of
wines <8105> on the lees <8105> well refined < 2212>.



7 And he will destroy <1104> in this <2088> mountain <2022> the
face <6440> of the covering <3875> cast <3874> over <5921> all
<3605> people <5971>, and the vail <4541> that is spread <5259>
over <5921> all <3605> nations <1471>.



8 He will swallow <1104> up death <4194> in victory <5331>; and
the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will wipe <4229> away tears <1832>
from off <5921> all <3605> faces <6440>; and the rebuke <2781>
of his people <5971> shall he take <5493> away < 5493> from off
<5921> all <3605> the earth <0776>: for the LORD <3068> hath
spoken <1696> [it].



9. And it shall be said <0559> in that day <3117>, Lo <2009>,
this <2088> [is] our God <0430>; we have waited < 6960> for him,
and he will save <3467> us: this <2088> [is] the LORD <3068>; we
have waited <6960> for him, we will be glad <1528> and rejoice
<8055> in his salvation <3444>.



10 For in this <2088> mountain <2022> shall the hand <3027> of
the LORD <3068> rest <5117>, and Moab <4124> shall be trodden
<1758> down under <8478> him, even as straw < 4963> is trodden
<1758> down for the dunghill <4087>.



11 And he shall spread <6566> forth his hands <3027> in the
midst <7130> of them, as he that swimmeth <7811> spreadeth
<6566> forth [his hands] to swim <7811>: and he shall bring
<8213> down <8213> their pride <1346> together with the spoils
<0698> of their hands <3027>.



12 And the fortress <4013> of the high <4869> fort <4869> of
thy walls <2346> shall he bring <7817> down < 7817>, lay low
<8213>, [and] bring <5060> to the ground <0776>, [even] to the
dust <6083>.



Isaiah 26



1. In that day <3117> shall this <2088> song < 7892> be sung
<7891> in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>; We have a strong
<5797> city <5892>; salvation <3444> will [God] appoint <7896>
[for] walls <2346> and bulwarks <2426>.



2 Open <6605> ye the gates <8179>, that the righteous <6662>
nation <1471> which keepeth <8104> the truth < 0529> may enter
<0935> in.



3 Thou wilt keep <5341> [him] in perfect peace <7965> , [whose]
mind <3336> [is] stayed <5564> [on thee]: because < 3588> he
trusteth <0982> in thee.



4 Trust <0982> ye in the LORD <3068> for ever < 5703>: for in
the LORD <3050> JEHOVAH <3068> [is] everlasting < 5769> strength
<6697>:



5. For he bringeth <7817> down <7817> them that dwell <3427> on
<4791> high <4791>; the lofty <7682> city < 7151>, he layeth it
low <8213>; he layeth it low <8213>, [even] to the ground <0776>;
he bringeth <5060> it [even] to the dust <6083>.



6 The foot <7272> shall tread <7429> it down, [even] the feet
<7272> of the poor <6041>, [and] the steps < 6471> of the needy
<1800>.



7 The way <0734> of the just <6662> [is] uprightness <4339>:
thou, most upright <3477>, dost weigh <6424> the path <4570> of
the just <6662>.



8 Yea <0637>, in the way <0734> of thy judgments < 4941>, O LORD
<3068>, have we waited <6960> for thee; the desire <8378> of
[our] soul <5315> [is] to thy name <8034>, and to the
remembrance <2143> of thee.



9 With my soul <5315> have I desired <0183> thee in the night
<3915>; yea <0637>, with my spirit <7307> within <7130> me will
I seek <7836> thee early <7836>: for when <0834> thy judgments
<4941> [are] in the earth <0776>, the inhabitants < 3427> of the
world <8398> will learn <3925> righteousness < 6664>.



10 Let favour <2603> be shewed to the wicked <7563>, [yet] will
he not learn <3925> righteousness <6664>: in the land <0776> of
uprightness <5229> will he deal unjustly <5765>, and will not
behold <7200> the majesty <1348> of the LORD < 3068>.



11 LORD <3068>, [when] thy hand <3027> is lifted < 5375> up,
they will not see <2372>: [but] they shall see <2372>, and be
ashamed <0954> for [their] envy <7068> at the people <5971>; yea
<0637>, the fire <0784> of thine enemies <6862> shall devour
<0398> them.



12. LORD <3068>, thou wilt ordain <8239> peace < 7965> for us:
for thou also <1571> hast wrought <6466> all < 3605> our works
<4639> in us.



13 O LORD <3068> our God <0430>, [other] lords < 0113> beside
<2108> thee have had dominion <1196> over us: [but] by thee only
<0905> will we make mention <2142> of thy name < 8034>.



14 [They are] dead <4191>, they shall not live <2421> ; [they
are] deceased <7496>, they shall not rise <6965>: therefore
<3651> hast thou visited <6485> and destroyed < 8045> them, and
made all <3605> their memory <2143> to perish < 6>.



15 Thou hast increased <3254> the nation <1471>, O LORD <3068>,
thou hast increased <3254> the nation <1471>: thou art glorified
<3513>: thou hadst removed <7368> [it] far < 7368> [unto] all
<3605> the ends <7097> of the earth <0776>.



16 LORD <3068>, in trouble <6862> have they visited <6485> thee,
they poured <6694> out a prayer <3908> [when] thy chastening
<4148> [was] upon them.



17 Like <3644> as a woman with child <2030>, [that] draweth
near <7126> the time of her delivery <3205>, is in pain <2342>,
[and] crieth <2199> out in her pangs <2256>; so < 3651> have we
been <1961> in thy sight <6440>, O LORD <3068>.



18 We have been with child <2029>, we have been in pain <2342>,
we have as it were brought <3205> forth <3205> wind <7307>; we
have not wrought <6213> any deliverance <3444> in the earth
<0776>; neither <1077> have the inhabitants < 3427> of the world
<8398> fallen <5307>.



19 Thy dead <4191> [men] shall live <2421>, [together with] my
dead <5038> body <5038> shall they arise <6965>. Awake <6974>
and sing <7442>, ye that dwell <7931> in dust < 6083>: for thy
dew <2919> [is as] the dew <2919> of herbs < 0219>, and the earth
<0776> shall cast <5307> out the dead <7496>.



20. Come <3212>, my people <5971>, enter <0935> thou into thy
chambers <2315>, and shut <5462> thy doors < 1817> about <1157>
thee: hide <2247> thyself as it were for a little < 4592> moment
<7281>, until <5704> the indignation <2195> be overpast <5674>.



21 For, behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> cometh < 3318> out of his
place <4725> to punish <6485> the inhabitants < 3427> of the
earth <0776> for their iniquity <5771>: the earth < 0776> also
shall disclose <1540> her blood <1818>, and shall no <3808> more
<5750> cover <3680> her slain <2026>.



Isaiah 27



1. In that day <3117> the LORD <3068> with his sore <7186> and
great <1419> and strong <2389> sword <2719> shall punish <6485>
leviathan <3882> the piercing <1281> serpent < 5175>, even
leviathan <3882> that crooked <6129> serpent < 5175>; and he
shall slay <2026> the dragon <8577> that [is] in the sea <3220>.



2 In that day <3117> sing <6031> ye unto her, A vineyard <3754>
of red <2561> wine <2561>.



3 I the LORD <3068> do keep <5341> it; I will water <8248> it
every moment <7281>: lest <6435> [any] hurt < 6485> it, I will
keep <5341> it night <3915> and day <3117>.



4 Fury <2534> [is] not in me: who <4310> would set <5414> the
briers <8068> [and] thorns <7898> against me in battle <4421>? I
would go <6585> through them, I would burn <6702> them together
<3162>.



5 Or <0176> let him take <2388> hold <2388> of my strength
<4581>, [that] he may make <6213> peace <7965> with me; [and] he
shall make <6213> peace <7965> with me.



6 He shall cause them that come <0935> of Jacob < 3290> to take
<2388> root <8327>: Israel <3478> shall blossom <6692> and bud
<6524>, and fill <4390> the face <6440> of the world <8398> with
fruit <8570>.



7. Hath he smitten <5221> him, as he smote <4347> those that
smote <5221> him? [or] is he slain <2026> according to the
slaughter <2027> of them that are slain <2026> by him?



8 In measure <5432>, when it shooteth <7971> forth, thou wilt
debate <7378> with it: he stayeth <1898> his rough <7186> wind
<7307> in the day <3117> of the east <6921> wind.



9 By this <2063> therefore <3651> shall the iniquity <5771> of
Jacob <3290> be purged <3722>; and this <2088> [is] all <3605>
the fruit <6529> to take <5493> away <5493> his sin <2403>; when
he maketh <7760> all <3605> the stones <68> of the altar <4196>
as chalkstones that are beaten <5310> in sunder, the groves
<0842> and images <2553> shall not stand <6965> up.



10 Yet the defenced <1219> city <5892> [shall be] desolate
<0910>, [and] the habitation <5116> forsaken < 7971>, and left
<5800> like a wilderness <4057>: there <8033> shall the calf
<5695> feed <7462>, and there <8033> shall he lie <7257> down
<7257>, and consume <3615> the branches <5585> thereof.



11 When the boughs <7105> thereof are withered <3001> , they
shall be broken <7665> off: the women <0802> come < 0935>, [and]
set them on fire <0215>: for it [is] a people <5971> of no
<3808> understanding <0998>: therefore he that made <6213> them
will not have mercy <7355> on them, and he that formed < 3335>
them will shew them no <3808> favour <2603>.



12 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
the LORD <3068> shall beat <2251> off from the channel <7641> of
the river <5104> unto the stream <5158> of Egypt < 4714>, and ye
shall be gathered <3950> one <0259> by one < 0259>, O ye children
<1121> of Israel <3478>.



13 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day < 3117>, [that]
the great <1419> trumpet <7782> shall be blown < 8628>, and they
shall come <0935> which were ready to perish <6> in the land
<0776> of Assyria <0804>, and the outcasts < 5080> in the land
<0776> of Egypt <4714>, and shall worship <7812> the LORD <3068>
in the holy <6944> mount <2022> at Jerusalem < 3389>.



Isaiah 28



1. Woe <1945> to the crown <5850> of pride < 1348>, to the
drunkards <7910> of Ephraim <0669>, whose glorious <6643> beauty
<8597> [is] a fading <5034> flower <6731>, which <0834> [are] on
the head <7218> of the fat <8081> valleys <1516> of them that
are overcome <1986> with wine <3196>!



2 Behold <2009>, the Lord <0136> hath a mighty < 2389> and
strong <0533> one, [which] as a tempest <2230> of hail <1259>
[and] a destroying <6986> storm <8178>, as a flood <2230> of
mighty <3524> waters <4325> overflowing <7857>, shall cast
<3240> down to the earth <0776> with the hand < 3027>.



3 The crown <5850> of pride <1348>, the drunkards <7910> of
Ephraim <0669>, shall be trodden <7429> under feet <7272>:



4 And the glorious <6643> beauty <8597>, which < 0834> [is] on
<5921> the head <7218> of the fat <8081> valley <1516>, shall be
a fading <5034> flower <6733>, [and] as the hasty < 1061> fruit
<1061> before <2962> the summer <7019>; which <0834> [when] he
that looketh <7200> upon it seeth <7200>, while it is yet <5750>
in his hand <3709> he eateth <1104> it up.



5 In that day <3117> shall the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> be
for a crown <5850> of glory <6643>, and for a diadem <6843> of
beauty <8597>, unto the residue <7605> of his people <5971>,



6 And for a spirit <7307> of judgment <4941> to him that
sitteth <3427> in judgment <4941>, and for strength <1369> to
them that turn <7725> the battle <4421> to the gate <8179>.



7 But they also <1571> have erred <7686> through wine <3196>,
and through strong drink <7941> are out of the way < 8582>; the
priest <3548> and the prophet <5030> have erred < 7686> through
strong drink <7941>, they are swallowed <1104> up of wine <3196>,
they are out of the way <8582> through <4480> strong drink
<7941>; they err <7686> in vision <7203>, they stumble <6328>
[in] judgment <6417>.



8 For all <3605> tables <7979> are full <4390> of vomit <6892>
[and] filthiness <6675>, [so that there is] no <1097> place
<4725> [clean].



9. Whom shall he teach <3384> knowledge <1844>? and whom shall
he make to understand <0995> doctrine <8052>? [them that are]
weaned <1580> from the milk <2461>, [and] drawn < 6267> from the
breasts <7699>.



10 For precept <6673> [must be] upon precept <6673>, precept
<6673> upon precept <6673>; line <6957> upon line <6957>, line
<6957> upon line <6957>; here <8033> a little <2191>, [and]
there <8033> a little <2191>:



11 For with stammering <3934> lips <8193> and another <0312>
tongue <3956> will he speak <1696> to this < 2088> people <5971>.



12 To whom he said <0559>, This <2063> [is] the rest <4496>
[wherewith <0834>] ye may cause the weary <5889> to rest <5117>;
and this <2063> [is] the refreshing <4774>: yet they would <14>
not hear <8085>.



13 But the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> was unto them precept
<6673> upon precept <6673>, precept <6673> upon precept <6673>;
line <6957> upon line <6957>, line <6957> upon line <6957>; here
<8033> a little <2191>, [and] there <8033> a little <2191>; that
they might go <3212>, and fall <3782> backward < 0268>, and be
broken <7665>, and snared <3369>, and taken < 3920>.



14. Wherefore <3651> hear <8085> the word < 1697> of the LORD
<3068>, ye scornful <3944> men <0582>, that rule <4910> this
<2088> people <5971> which <0834> [is] in Jerusalem <3389>.



15 Because <3588> ye have said <0559>, We have made <3772> a
covenant <1285> with death <4194>, and with hell < 7585> are we
at agreement <2374>; when <3588> the overflowing < 7857> scourge
<7885> shall pass <5674> through, it shall not come <0935> unto
us: for we have made <7760> lies <3576> our refuge <4268>, and
under falsehood <8267> have we hid <5641> ourselves:



16 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>
GOD <3069>, Behold <2005>, I lay in Zion <6726> for a foundation
<3248> a stone <68>, a tried <0976> stone < 68>, a precious
<3368> corner <6438> [stone], a sure <3245> foundation <4143>:
he that believeth <0539> shall not make haste <2363>.



17 Judgment <4941> also will I lay <7760> to the line <6957>,
and righteousness <6666> to the plummet <4949>: and the hail
<1259> shall sweep <3261> away the refuge <4268> of lies <3576>,
and the waters <4325> shall overflow <7857> the hiding <5643>
place.



18 And your covenant <1285> with death <4194> shall be
disannulled <3722>, and your agreement <2380> with hell <7585>
shall not stand <6965>; when <3588> the overflowing <7857>
scourge <7752> shall pass <5674> through, then ye shall be
trodden <4823> down by it.



19 From the time <1767> that it goeth <5674> forth <5674> it
shall take <3947> you: for morning <1242> by morning <1242>
shall it pass <5674> over <5674>, by day <3117> and by night
<3915>: and it shall be a vexation <2113> only < 7535> [to]
understand <0995> the report <8052>.



20 For the bed <4702> is shorter <7114> than that [a man
<0376>] can stretch <8311> himself [on it]: and the covering
<4541> narrower <6887> than that he can wrap < 3664> himself [in
it].



21 For the LORD <3068> shall rise <6965> up as [in] mount
<2022> Perazim, he shall be wroth <7264> as [in] the valley
<6010> of Gibeon <1391>, that he may do <6213> his work <4639>,
his strange <2114> work <4639>; and bring <5647> to pass <5674>
his act <5556>, his strange <5237> act <5556>.



22 Now <6258> therefore be ye not mockers <3887>, lest <6435>
your bands <4147> be made strong <2388>: for I have heard <8085>
from the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635> a consumption
<3617>, even determined <2782> upon the whole < 3605> earth
<0776>.



23. Give ye ear <0238>, and hear <8085> my voice < 6963>;
hearken <7181>, and hear <8085> my speech <0565> .



24 Doth the plowman <2790> plow <2790> all < 3605> day <3117> to
sow <2232>? doth he open <6605> and break <7702> the clods
<7702> of his ground <0127>?



25 When <0518> he hath made plain <7737> the face <6440>
thereof, doth he not cast <6327> abroad <6327> the fitches
<7100>, and scatter <2236> the cummin <3646>, and cast <7760> in
the principal <7795> wheat <2406> and the appointed <5567>
barley <8184> and the rie <3698> in their place < 1367>?



26 For his God <0430> doth instruct <3256> him to discretion
<4941>, [and] doth teach <3384> him.



27 For the fitches <7100> are not threshed <1758> with a
threshing <2742> instrument, neither <1077> is a cart <5699>
wheel <0212> turned <5437> about upon the cummin < 3646>; but the
fitches <7100> are beaten <2251> out with a staff < 4294>, and
the cummin <3646> with a rod <7626>.



28 Bread <3899> [corn] is bruised <1854>; because <3588> he
will not ever <5331> be threshing <1758> it, nor break <2000>
[it with] the wheel <1536> of his cart <5699>, nor <3808> bruise
<1854> it [with] his horsemen <6571>.



29 This <2088> also <1571> cometh <3318> forth <3318> from the
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, [which] is wonderful < 6381> in
counsel <6098>, [and] excellent <1431> in working < 8454>.



Isaiah 29



1. Woe <1945> to Ariel <0740>, to Ariel <0740>, the city <7151>
[where] David <1732> dwelt <2583>! add <5595> ye year <8141> to
year <8141>; let them kill <5362> sacrifices < 2282>.



2 Yet I will distress <6693> Ariel <0740>, and there shall be
heaviness <8386> and sorrow <0592>: and it shall be unto me as
Ariel <0740>.



3 And I will camp <2583> against <5921> thee round <1754> about,
and will lay siege <6696> against <5921> thee with a mount
<4674>, and I will raise <6965> forts <4694> against <5921> thee.



4 And thou shalt be brought <8213> down <8213>, [and] shalt
speak <1696> out of the ground <0776>, and thy speech <0565>
shall be low <7817> out of the dust <6083>, and thy voice <6963>
shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit <0178>, out of
the ground <0776>, and thy speech <0565> shall whisper <6850>
out of the dust <6083>.



5 Moreover the multitude <1995> of thy strangers < 2114> shall
be like small <1851> dust <80>, and the multitude < 1995> of the
terrible <6184> ones [shall be] as chaff <4671> that passeth
<5674> away: yea, it shall be at an instant <6621> suddenly
<6597>.



6 Thou shalt be visited <6485> of the LORD <3068> of hosts
<6635> with thunder <7482>, and with earthquake < 7494>, and
great <1419> noise <6963>, with storm <5492> and tempest <5591>,
and the flame <3851> of devouring <0398> fire < 0784>.



7 And the multitude <1995> of all <3605> the nations <1471>
that fight <6633> against <5921> Ariel <0740>, even all <3605>
that fight <6633> against her and her munition <4685>, and that
distress <6693> her, shall be as a dream <2472> of a night
<3915> vision <2377>.



8 It shall even be as when <0834> an hungry <7456> [man]
dreameth <2492>, and, behold <2009>, he eateth < 0398>; but he
awaketh <6974>, and his soul <5315> is empty < 7385>: or as when
<0834> a thirsty <6771> man dreameth <2492>, and, behold <2009>,
he drinketh <8354>; but he awaketh <6974>, and, behold <2009>,
[he is] faint <5889>, and his soul <5315> hath appetite <8264>:
so shall the multitude <1995> of all <3605> the nations <1471>
be, that fight <6633> against <5921> mount < 2022> Zion <6726>.



9. Stay <4102> yourselves, and wonder <8539>; cry <8173> ye out,
and cry <8173>: they are drunken <7937>, but not with wine
<3196>; they stagger <5128>, but not with strong drink <7941>.



10 For the LORD <3068> hath poured <5258> out upon you the
spirit <7307> of deep <8639> sleep <8639>, and hath closed
<6105> your eyes <5869>: the prophets <5030> and your rulers
<7218>, the seers <2374> hath he covered <3680>.



11 And the vision <2380> of all <3605> is become < 1961> unto
you as the words <1697> of a book <5612> that is sealed <2856>,
which <0834> [men] deliver <5414> to one that is learned, saying
<0559>, Read <7121> this <2088>, I pray < 4994> thee: and he
saith <0559>, I cannot; for it [is] sealed <2856>:



12 And the book <5612> is delivered <5414> to him that is not
learned, saying <0559>, Read <7121> this <2088>, I pray <4994>
thee: and he saith <0559>, I am not learned.



13 Wherefore the Lord <0136> said <0559>, Forasmuch as this
people <5971> draw near <5066> [me] with their mouth <6310>, and
with their lips <8193> do honour <3513> me, but have removed
<7368> their heart <3820> far <7368> from me, and their fear
<3374> toward <0854> me is taught <3925> by the precept <4687>
of men <0582>:



14 Therefore <3651>, behold <2005>, I will proceed <3254> to do
a marvellous <6381> work <6381> among this < 2088> people <5971>,
[even] a marvellous <6381> work <6381> and a wonder <6382>: for
the wisdom <2451> of their wise <2450> [men] shall perish <6>,
and the understanding <0998> of their prudent <0995> [men] shall
be hid <5641>.



15 Woe <1945> unto them that seek deep <6009> to hide <5641>
their counsel <6098> from the LORD <3068>, and their works
<4639> are in the dark <4285>, and they say < 0559>, Who <4310>
seeth <7200> us? and who <4310> knoweth <3045> us?



16 Surely <0518> your turning <2017> of things upside down
shall be esteemed <2803> as the potter's <3335> clay <2563>: for
shall the work <4639> say <0559> of him that made < 6213> it, He
made <6213> me not? or shall the thing framed <3336> say <0559>
of him that framed <3335> it, He had no <3808> understanding
<0995>?



17. [Is] it not yet <5750> a very <4213> little < 4592> while,
and Lebanon <3844> shall be turned <7725> into a fruitful <3759>
field, and the fruitful <3759> field shall be esteemed < 2803> as
a forest <3293>?



18 And in that day <3117> shall the deaf <2795> hear <8085> the
words <1697> of the book <5612>, and the eyes < 5869> of the
blind <5787> shall see <7200> out of obscurity < 0652>, and out
of darkness <2822>.



19 The meek <6035> also shall increase <3254> [their] joy
<8057> in the LORD <3068>, and the poor <34> among men <0120>
shall rejoice <1523> in the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.



20 For the terrible <6184> one is brought <0656> to nought
<0656>, and the scorner <3887> is consumed < 3615>, and all
<3605> that watch <8245> for iniquity <0205> are cut <3772> off:



21 That make a man <0120> an offender <2398> for a word <1697>,
and lay a snare <6983> for him that reproveth <3198> in the gate
<8179>, and turn <5186> aside <5186> the just <6662> for a thing
of nought <8414>.



22 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>,
who <0834> redeemed <6299> Abraham <85>, concerning <0413> the
house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, Jacob <3290> shall not now <6258>
be ashamed <0954>, neither <3808> shall his face < 6440> now
<6258> wax pale <2357>.



23 But when <3588> he seeth <7200> his children < 3206>, the
work <4639> of mine hands <3027>, in the midst < 7130> of him,
they shall sanctify <6942> my name <8034>, and sanctify <6942>
the Holy <6918> One of Jacob <3290>, and shall fear <6206> the
God <0430> of Israel <3478>.



24 They also that erred <8582> in spirit <7307> shall come
<3045> to understanding <0998>, and they that murmured <7279>
shall learn <3925> doctrine <3948>.



Isaiah 30



1. Woe <1945> to the rebellious <5637> children < 1121>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, that take <6213> counsel <6098>, but not
of me; and that cover <5258> with a covering <4541>, but not of
my spirit <7307>, that they may add <5595> sin < 2403> to sin
<2403>:



2 That walk <1980> to go <3381> down <3381> into Egypt <4714>,
and have not asked <7592> at my mouth <6310>; to strengthen
<5810> themselves in the strength <4581> of Pharaoh <6547>, and
to trust <2620> in the shadow <6738> of Egypt < 4714>!



3 Therefore shall the strength <4581> of Pharaoh < 6547> be your
shame <1322>, and the trust <2622> in the shadow < 6738> of Egypt
<4714> [your] confusion <3639>.



4 For his princes <8269> were at Zoan <6814>, and his
ambassadors <4397> came <5060> to Hanes <2609>.



5 They were all <3605> ashamed <0954> of a people <5971> [that]
could not profit <3276> them, nor <3808> be an help <5828> nor
<3808> profit <3276>, but a shame <1322>, and also <1571> a
reproach <2781>.



6 The burden <4853> of the beasts <0929> of the south <5045>:
into the land <0776> of trouble <6869> and anguish <6695>, from
whence <1992> [come] the young <3833> and old < 3918> lion <3918>,
the viper <0660> and fiery <8314> flying <5774> serpent <8314>,
they will carry <5375> their riches <2428> upon the shoulders
<3802> of young asses <5895>, and their treasures < 0214> upon
the bunches <1707> of camels <1581>, to a people < 5971> [that]
shall not profit <3276> [them].



7 For the Egyptians <4714> shall help <5826> in vain <1892>,
and to no <7385> purpose <7385>: therefore < 3651> have I cried
<7121> concerning this <2063>, Their strength < 7293> [is] to sit
<7674> still <7673>.



8. Now <6258> go <0935>, write <3789> it before <0854> them in
a table <3871>, and note <2710> it in a book < 5612>, that it may
be for the time <3117> to come <0314> for ever < 5703> and ever
<5769>:



9 That this <1931> [is] a rebellious <4805> people <5971>,
lying <3586> children <1121>, children <1121> [that] will <14>
not hear <8085> the law <8451> of the LORD < 3068>:



10 Which <0834> say <0559> to the seers <7200>, See <7200> not;
and to the prophets <2374>, Prophesy <2372> not unto us right
<5229> things, speak <1696> unto us smooth < 2513> things,
prophesy <2372> deceits <4123>:



11 Get you out of the way <1870>, turn <5186> aside <5186> out
of the path <0734>, cause the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>
to cease <7673> from before <6440> us.



12 Wherefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Holy <6918>
One of Israel <3478>, Because <3282> ye despise < 3988> this
<2088> word <1697>, and trust <0982> in oppression <6233> and
perverseness <3868>, and stay <8172> thereon < 5921>:



13 Therefore <3651> this <2088> iniquity <5771> shall be to you
as a breach <6556> ready to fall <5307>, swelling < 1158> out in
a high <7682> wall <2346>, whose <0834> breaking <7667> cometh
<0935> suddenly <6597> at an instant <6621>.



14 And he shall break <7665> it as the breaking < 7667> of the
potters <3335>' vessel <5035> that is broken < 3807> in pieces;
he shall not spare <2550>: so that there shall not be found
<4672> in the bursting <4386> of it a sherd < 2789> to take
<2846> fire <0784> from the hearth <3344>, or to take <2834>
water <4325> [withal] out of the pit <1360>.



15 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, the
Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>; In returning < 7729> and rest
<5183> shall ye be saved <3467>; in quietness < 8252> and in
confidence <0985> shall be your strength <1369>: and ye would
<14> not.



16 But ye said <0559>, No <3808>; for we will flee <5127> upon
horses <5483>; therefore shall ye flee <5127>: and, We will ride
<7392> upon the swift <7031>; therefore shall they that pursue
<7291> you be swift <7043>.



17 One <0259> thousand <0505> [shall flee] at < 6440> the rebuke
<1606> of one <0259>; at <6440> the rebuke < 1606> of five <2568>
shall ye flee <5127>: till ye be left <3498> as a beacon <8650>
upon the top <7218> of a mountain <2022>, and as an ensign
<5251> on <5921> an hill <1389>.



18. And therefore <3651> will the LORD <3068> wait <2442>, that
he may be gracious <2603> unto you, and therefore < 3651> will he
be exalted <7311>, that he may have mercy <7355> upon you: for
the LORD <3068> [is] a God <0430> of judgment < 4941>: blessed
<0835> [are] all <3605> they that wait <2442> for him.



19 For the people <5971> shall dwell <3427> in Zion <6726> at
Jerusalem <3389>: thou shalt weep <1058> no < 3808> more <1058>:
he will be very gracious <2603> unto thee at the voice < 6963> of
thy cry <2201>; when he shall hear <8085> it, he will answer
<6030> thee.



20 And [though] the Lord <0136> give <5414> you the bread
<3899> of adversity <6862>, and the water <4325> of affliction
<3905>, yet shall not thy teachers <3384> be removed <3670> into
a corner <3671> any more <5750>, but thine eyes < 5869> shall see
<7200> thy teachers <3384>:



21 And thine ears <0241> shall hear <8085> a word <1697> behind
<0310> thee, saying <0559>, This <2088> [is] the way <1870>,
walk <3212> ye in it, when <3588> ye turn to the right <0541>
hand <3027>, and when <3588> ye turn to the left < 8041>.



22 Ye shall defile <2930> also the covering <6826> of thy
graven <6456> images of silver <3701>, and the ornament <0642>
of thy molten <4541> images of gold <2091>: thou shalt cast
<2219> them away <2219> as a menstruous <1739> cloth; thou shalt
say <0559> unto it, Get <3318> thee hence <3318> .



23 Then shall he give <5414> the rain <4306> of thy seed <2233>,
that thou shalt sow <2232> the ground <0127> withal; and bread
<3899> of the increase <8393> of the earth < 0127>, and it shall
be fat <1879> and plenteous <8082>: in that day < 3117> shall thy
cattle <4735> feed <7462> in large <7337> pastures <3733>.



24 The oxen <0504> likewise and the young asses < 5895> that ear
<5647> the ground <0127> shall eat <0398> clean <2548> provender
<1098>, which <0834> hath been winnowed <2219> with the shovel
<7371> and with the fan <4214>.



25 And there shall be upon every <3605> high <1364> mountain
<2022>, and upon every <3605> high <4791> hill <1389>, rivers
<6388> [and] streams <2988> of waters <4325> in the day <3117>
of the great <7227> slaughter <2027>, when the towers <4026>
fall <5307>.



26 Moreover the light <0216> of the moon <3842> shall be as the
light <0216> of the sun <2535>, and the light < 0216> of the sun
<8121> shall be sevenfold <7659>, as the light < 0216> of seven
<7651> days <3117>, in the day <3117> that the LORD <3068>
bindeth <2280> up the breach <7667> of his people < 5971>, and
healeth <7495> the stroke <4273> of their wound < 4347>.



27. Behold <2009>, the name <8034> of the LORD < 3068> cometh
<0935> from far <4801>, burning <1197> [with] his anger <0639>,
and the burden <4858> [thereof is] heavy <3514>: his lips <8193>
are full <4390> of indignation <2195>, and his tongue <3956> as
a devouring <0398> fire <0784>:



28 And his breath <7307>, as an overflowing <7857> stream
<5158>, shall reach <5060> to the midst <2673> of the neck
<6677>, to sift <5130> the nations <1471> with the sieve <5299>
of vanity <7723>: and [there shall be] a bridle <7448> in the
jaws <3895> of the people <5971>, causing [them] to err <8582>.



29 Ye shall have <1961> a song <7892>, as in the night <3915>
[when] a holy <6942> solemnity <2282> is kept < 6942>; and
gladness <8057> of heart <3824>, as when one goeth <1980> with a
pipe <2485> to come <0935> into the mountain < 2022> of the LORD
<3068>, to the mighty <6697> One of Israel < 3478>.



30 And the LORD <3068> shall cause his glorious < 1935> voice
<6963> to be heard <8085>, and shall shew <7200> the lighting
<5183> down <5183> of his arm <2220>, with the indignation
<2197> of [his] anger <0639>, and [with] the flame <3851> of a
devouring <0398> fire <0784>, [with] scattering < 5311>, and
tempest <2230>, and hailstones.



31 For through the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> shall the
Assyrian <0804> be beaten <2865> down, [which] smote <5221> with
a rod <7626>.



32 And [in] every <3605> place where the grounded < 4145> staff
<4294> shall pass <4569>, which <0834> the LORD <3068> shall lay
<5117> upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets <8596> and harps
<3658>: and in battles <4421> of shaking <8573> will he fight
<3898> with it.



33 For Tophet <8613> [is] ordained <6186> of old < 0865>; yea
<1571>, for the king <4428> it is prepared < 3559>; he hath made
[it] deep <6009> [and] large <7337>: the pile < 4071> thereof
[is] fire <0784> and much <7235> wood <6086>; the breath <5397>
of the LORD <3068>, like a stream <5158> of brimstone <1614>,
doth kindle <1197> it.



Isaiah 31



1. Woe <1945> to them that go <3381> down < 3381> to Egypt
<4714> for help <5833>; and stay <8172> on < 5921> horses <5483>,
and trust <0982> in chariots <7393>, because < 3588> [they are]
many <7227>; and in horsemen <6571>, because < 3588> they are
very <3966> strong <6105>; but they look <8159> not unto the
Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>, neither <3808> seek <1875> the
LORD <3068>!



2 Yet he also <1571> [is] wise <2450>, and will bring <0935>
evil <7451>, and will not call <5493> back < 5493> his words
<1697>: but will arise <6965> against <5921> the house <1004> of
the evildoers <7489>, and against <5921> the help < 5833> of them
that work <6213> iniquity <0205>.



3 Now the Egyptians <4714> [are] men <0120>, and not God <0410>;
and their horses <5483> flesh <1320>, and not spirit <7307>.
When the LORD <3068> shall stretch <5186> out his hand <3027>,
both <8147> he that helpeth <5826> shall fall < 3782>, and he
that is holpen <5826> shall fall <5307> down, and they all
<3605> shall fail <3615> together <3162>.



4 For thus <3541> hath the LORD <3068> spoken < 0559> unto me,
Like as the lion <0738> and the young <3715> lion < 3715> roaring
<1897> on <5921> his prey <2964>, when < 0834> a multitude <4393>
of shepherds <7462> is called <7121> forth against <5921> him,
[he] will not be afraid <2865> of their voice <6963>, nor <3808>
abase <6031> himself for the noise <1995> of them: so <3651>
shall the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> come < 3381> down <3381> to
fight <6633> for mount <2022> Zion <6726>, and for the hill
<1389> thereof.



5 As birds <6833> flying <5774>, so will the LORD <3068> of
hosts <6635> defend <1598> Jerusalem <3389>; defending <1598>
also he will deliver <5337> [it; and] passing <5674> over he
will preserve <4422> it.



6. Turn <7725> ye unto [him from] whom <0834> the children
<1121> of Israel <3478> have deeply <6009> revolted <5627>.



7 For in that day <3117> every man <0376> shall cast <3988>
away <3988> his idols <0457> of silver <3701>, and his idols
<0457> of gold <2091>, which <0834> your own hands <3027> have
made <6213> unto you [for] a sin <2399>.



8 Then shall the Assyrian <0804> fall <5307> with the sword
<2719>, not of a mighty <0376> man <0376>; and the sword <2719>,
not of a mean <0120> man <0120>, shall devour < 0398> him: but he
shall flee <5127> from the sword <2719>, and his young <0970>
men shall be discomfited <4522>.



9 And he shall pass <5674> over <5674> to his strong <5553>
hold <5553> for fear <4032>, and his princes < 8269> shall be
afraid <2865> of the ensign <5251>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>,
whose <0834> fire <0217> [is] in Zion <6726>, and his furnace
<8574> in Jerusalem <3389>.



Isaiah 32



1. Behold <2005>, a king <4428> shall reign < 4427> in
righteousness <6664>, and princes <8269> shall rule <8323> in
judgment <4941>.



2 And a man <0376> shall be as an hiding <4224> place from the
wind <7307>, and a covert <5643> from the tempest < 2230>; as
rivers <6388> of water <4325> in a dry <6724> place, as the
shadow <6738> of a great <3515> rock <5553> in a weary <5889>
land <0776>.



3 And the eyes <5869> of them that see <7200> shall not be dim
<8159>, and the ears <0241> of them that hear < 8085> shall
hearken <7181>.



4 The heart <3824> also of the rash <4116> shall understand
<0995> knowledge <1847>, and the tongue <3956> of the stammerers
<5926> shall be ready <4116> to speak <1696> plainly <6703>.



5 The vile <5036> person shall be no <3808> more < 5750> called
<7121> liberal <5081>, nor <3808> the churl < 3596> said <0559>
[to be] bountiful <7771>.



6 For the vile <5036> person will speak <1696> villany <5039>,
and his heart <3820> will work <6213> iniquity < 0205>, to
practise <6213> hypocrisy <2612>, and to utter < 1696> error
<8432> against <0413> the LORD <3068>, to make empty <7324> the
soul <5315> of the hungry <7456>, and he will cause the drink
<4945> of the thirsty <6771> to fail <2637>.



7 The instruments <3627> also of the churl <3596> [are] evil
<7451>: he deviseth <3289> wicked <2154> devices <2154> to
destroy <2254> the poor with lying <8267> words < 0561>, even
when the needy <34> speaketh <1696> right <4941> .



8 But the liberal <5081> deviseth <3289> liberal < 5081> things;
and by liberal <5081> things shall he stand <6965>.



9. Rise <6965> up, ye women <0802> that are at ease <7600>;
hear <8085> my voice <6963>, ye careless <0982> daughters <1121>;
give ear <0238> unto my speech <0565>.



10 Many days <3117> and years <8141> shall ye be troubled
<7264>, ye careless <0982> women: for the vintage < 1210> shall
fail <3615>, the gathering <0625> shall not come < 0935>.



11 Tremble <2729>, ye women that are at ease <7600>; be
troubled <7264>, ye careless <0982> ones: strip < 6584> you, and
make you bare <6209>, and gird <2290> [sackcloth] upon [your]
loins <2504>.



12 They shall lament <5594> for the teats <7699>, for the
pleasant <2531> fields <7704>, for the fruitful < 6509> vine
<1612>.



13 Upon the land <0127> of my people <5971> shall come <5927>
up thorns <6975> [and] briers <8068>; yea <3588> , upon all
<3605> the houses <1004> of joy <4885> [in] the joyous <5947>
city <7151>:



14 Because <3588> the palaces <0759> shall be forsaken <5203>;
the multitude <1995> of the city <5892> shall be left <5800>;
the forts <6076> and towers <0975> shall be for dens <4631> for
ever <5769>, a joy <4885> of wild <6501> asses <6501>, a pasture
<4829> of flocks <5739>;



15 Until <5704> the spirit <7307> be poured < 6168> upon us from
on high <4791>, and the wilderness <4057> be a fruitful <3759>
field, and the fruitful <3759> field be counted <2803> for a
forest <3293>.



16 Then judgment <4941> shall dwell <7931> in the wilderness
<4057>, and righteousness <6666> remain <3427> in the fruitful
<3759> field.



17 And the work <4639> of righteousness <6666> shall be peace
<7965>; and the effect <5656> of righteousness < 6666> quietness
<8252> and assurance <0983> for ever <5769>.



18 And my people <5971> shall dwell <3427> in a peaceable
<7965> habitation <5116>, and in sure <4009> dwellings <4908>,
and in quiet <7600> resting <4496> places;



19 When it shall hail <1258>, coming <3381> down < 3381> on the
forest <3293>; and the city <5892> shall be low < 8213> in a low
<8219> place.



20 Blessed <0835> [are] ye that sow <2232> beside <5921> all
<3605> waters <4325>, that send <7971> forth [thither] the feet
<7272> of the ox <7794> and the ass <2543>.



Isaiah 33



1. Woe <1945> to thee that spoilest <7703>, and thou [wast] not
spoiled <7703>; and dealest treacherously <0898>, and they dealt
not treacherously <0898> with thee! when thou shalt cease <8552>
to spoil <7703>, thou shalt be spoiled <7703>; [and] when thou
shalt make an end <5239> to deal treacherously <0898>, they
shall deal treacherously <0898> with thee.



2 O LORD <3068>, be gracious <2603> unto us; we have waited
<6960> for thee: be thou their arm <2220> every morning <1242>,
our salvation <3444> also <0637> in the time < 6256> of trouble
<6869>.



3 At the noise <6963> of the tumult <1995> the people <5971>
fled <5074>; at the lifting <7427> up of thyself the nations
<1471> were scattered <5310>.



4 And your spoil <7998> shall be gathered <0622> [like] the
gathering <0625> of the caterpiller <2625>: as the running
<4944> to and fro of locusts <1357> shall he run < 8264> upon
them.



5 The LORD <3068> is exalted <7682>; for he dwelleth <7931> on
high <4791>: he hath filled <4390> Zion <6726> with judgment
<4941> and righteousness <6666>.



6 And wisdom <2451> and knowledge <1847> shall be the stability
<0530> of thy times <6256>, [and] strength < 2633> of salvation
<3444>: the fear <3374> of the LORD <3068> [is] his treasure
<0214>.



7 Behold <2005>, their valiant <0691> ones shall cry <6817>
without <2351>: the ambassadors <4397> of peace < 7965> shall
weep <1058> bitterly <4751>.



8 The highways <4546> lie waste <8074>, the wayfaring man
ceaseth <7673>: he hath broken <6565> the covenant <1285>, he
hath despised <3988> the cities <5892>, he regardeth <2803> no
<3808> man <0582>.



9 The earth <0776> mourneth <56> [and] languisheth <0535>:
Lebanon <3844> is ashamed <2659> [and] hewn < 7060> down: Sharon
<8289> is like a wilderness <6160>; and Bashan < 1316> and Carmel
<3760> shake <5287> off [their fruits].



10 Now <6258> will I rise <6965>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>;
now <6258> will I be exalted <7311>; now <6258> will I lift
<5375> up myself.



11 Ye shall conceive <2029> chaff <2842>, ye shall bring <3205>
forth <3205> stubble <7179>: your breath <7307>, [as] fire
<0784>, shall devour <0398> you.



12 And the people <5971> shall be [as] the burnings < 4955> of
lime <7875>: [as] thorns <6975> cut <3683> up shall they be
burned <3341> in the fire <0784>.



13. Hear <8085>, ye [that are] far <7350> off, what <0834> I
have done <6213>; and, ye [that are] near <7138>, acknowledge
<3045> my might <1369>.



14 The sinners <2400> in Zion <6726> are afraid < 6342>;
fearfulness <7461> hath surprised <0270> the hypocrites. Who
<4310> among us shall dwell <1481> with the devouring <0398>
fire <0784>? who <4310> among us shall dwell < 1481> with
everlasting <5769> burnings <4168>?



15 He that walketh <1980> righteously <6666>, and speaketh
<1696> uprightly <4339>; he that despiseth < 3988> the gain
<1214> of oppressions <4642>, that shaketh < 5287> his hands
<3709> from holding <8551> of bribes <7810>, that stoppeth
<0331> his ears <0241> from hearing <8085> of blood <1818>, and
shutteth <6105> his eyes <5869> from seeing < 7200> evil <7451>;



16 He shall dwell <7931> on high <4791>: his place of defence
<4869> [shall be] the munitions <4679> of rocks < 5553>: bread
<3899> shall be given <5414> him; his waters < 4325> [shall be]
sure <0539>.



17 Thine eyes <5869> shall see <2372> the king < 4428> in his
beauty <3308>: they shall behold <7200> the land < 0776> that is
very <4801> far <4801> off.



18 Thine heart <3820> shall meditate <1897> terror <0367>.
Where <0346> [is] the scribe <5608>? where < 0346> [is] the
receiver <8254>? where <0346> [is] he that counted <5608> the
towers <4026>?



19 Thou shalt not see <7200> a fierce <3267> people <5971>, a
people <5971> of a deeper <6012> speech <8193> than thou canst
perceive <8085>; of a stammering <3932> tongue < 3956>, [that
thou canst] not understand <0998>.



20 Look <2372> upon Zion <6726>, the city < 7151> of our
solemnities <4150>: thine eyes <5869> shall see < 7200> Jerusalem
<3389> a quiet <7600> habitation <5116>, a tabernacle <0168>
[that] shall not be taken <6813> down; not one of the stakes
<3489> thereof shall ever <5331> be removed < 5265>, neither
<1077> shall any <3605> of the cords <2256> thereof be broken
<5423>.



21 But there <8033> the glorious <0117> LORD < 3068> [will be]
unto us a place <4725> of broad rivers <5103> [and] streams
<2975>; wherein shall go <3212> no <1077> galley <0590> with
oars <7885>, neither <3808> shall gallant <0117> ship <6716>
pass <5674> thereby.



22 For the LORD <3068> [is] our judge <8199>, the LORD <3068>
[is] our lawgiver <2710>, the LORD <3068> [is] our king <4428>;
he will save <3467> us.



23 Thy tacklings <2256> are loosed <5203>; they could not well
<3651> strengthen <2388> their mast <8650>, they could not
spread <6566> the sail <5251>: then <0227> is the prey <5706> of
a great <4766> spoil <7998> divided <2505>; the lame <6455> take
<0962> the prey <0957>.



24 And the inhabitant <7934> shall not say <0559>, I am sick
<2470>: the people <5971> that dwell <3427> therein [shall be]
forgiven <5375> [their] iniquity <5771>.



Isaiah 34



1. Come <7126> near <7126>, ye nations <1471>, to hear <8085>;
and hearken <7181>, ye people <3816>: let the earth <0776> hear
<8085>, and all <4393> that is therein <4393>; the world <8398>,
and all <3605> things that come <6631> forth < 6631> of it.



2 For the indignation <7110> of the LORD <3068> [is] upon all
<3605> nations <1471>, and [his] fury <2534> upon all <3605>
their armies <6635>: he hath utterly destroyed <2763> them, he
hath delivered <5414> them to the slaughter <2875>.



3 Their slain <2491> also shall be cast <7993> out, and their
stink <0889> shall come <5927> up out of their carcases <6297>,
and the mountains <2022> shall be melted <4549> with their blood
<1818>.



4 And all <3605> the host <6635> of heaven < 8064> shall be
dissolved <4743>, and the heavens <8064> shall be rolled <1556>
together as a scroll <5612>: and all <3605> their host <6635>
shall fall <5034> down, as the leaf <5929> falleth <5034> off
from the vine <1612>, and as a falling <5034> [fig <8384>] from
the fig <8384> tree.



5 For my sword <2719> shall be bathed <7301> in heaven <8064>:
behold <2009>, it shall come <3381> down <3381> upon Idumea
<0123>, and upon the people <5971> of my curse < 2764>, to
judgment <4941>.



6 The sword <2719> of the LORD <3068> is filled < 4390> with
blood <1818>, it is made fat <1878> with fatness < 2459>, [and]
with the blood <1818> of lambs <3733> and goats < 6260>, with the
fat <2459> of the kidneys <3629> of rams <0352>: for the LORD
<3068> hath a sacrifice <2077> in Bozrah <1224>, and a great
<1419> slaughter <2875> in the land <0776> of Idumea <0123>.



7 And the unicorns <7214> shall come <3381> down < 3381> with
them, and the bullocks <6499> with the bulls <47>; and their
land <0776> shall be soaked <7301> with blood < 1818>, and their
dust <6083> made fat <1878> with fatness <2459>.



8 For [it is] the day <3117> of the LORD'S <3068> vengeance
<5359>, [and] the year <8141> of recompences < 7966> for the
controversy <7379> of Zion <6726>.



9. And the streams <5158> thereof shall be turned < 2015> into
pitch <2203>, and the dust <6083> thereof into brimstone <1614>,
and the land <0776> thereof shall become <1961> burning <1197>
pitch <2203>.



10 It shall not be quenched <3518> night <3915> nor day <3119>;
the smoke <6227> thereof shall go <5927> up for ever <5769>:
from generation <1755> to generation <1755> it shall lie waste
<2717>; none <0369> shall pass <5674> through it for ever <5331>
and ever <5769>.



11 But the cormorant <6893> and the bittern <7090> shall
possess <3423> it; the owl <3244> also and the raven <6158>
shall dwell <7931> in it: and he shall stretch <5186> out upon
it the line <6957> of confusion <5414>, and the stones <68> of
emptiness <0922>.



12 They shall call <7121> the nobles <2715> thereof to the
kingdom <4410>, but none <0369> [shall be] there < 8033>, and all
<3605> her princes <8269> shall be nothing < 0657>.



13 And thorns <5518> shall come <5927> up in her palaces <0759>,
nettles <7057> and brambles <2336> in the fortresses <4013>
thereof: and it shall be an habitation <5116> of dragons <8577>,
[and] a court <2691> for owls.



14 The wild <6728> beasts <6728> of the desert < 6728> shall
also meet <6298> with the wild <0338> beasts < 0338> of the
island <0338>, and the satyr <8163> shall cry < 7121> to his
fellow <7453>; the screech <3917> owl <3917> also <0389> shall
rest <7280> there <8033>, and find <4672> for herself a place of
rest <4494>.



15 There <8033> shall the great <7091> owl < 7091> make her nest
<7077>, and lay <4422>, and hatch <1234>, and gather <1716>
under her shadow <6738>: there <8033> shall the vultures <1772>
also <0389> be gathered <6908>, every <0802> one with her mate
<7468>.



16 Seek <1875> ye out of the book <5612> of the LORD <3068>,
and read <7121>: no <3808> one <0259> of these <2007> shall fail
<5737>, none shall want <6485> her mate <7468>: for my mouth
<6310> it hath commanded <6680>, and his spirit < 7307> it hath
gathered <6908> them.



17 And he hath cast <5307> the lot <1486> for them, and his
hand <3027> hath divided <2505> it unto them by line <6957>:
they shall possess <3423> it for ever <5769>, from generation
<1755> to generation <1755> shall they dwell < 7931> therein.



Isaiah 35



1. The wilderness <4057> and the solitary <6723> place shall be
glad <7996> for them; and the desert <6160> shall rejoice <1523>,
and blossom <6524> as the rose <2261>.



2 It shall blossom <6524> abundantly <6524>, and rejoice <1523>
even <0637> with joy <1525> and singing <7442>: the glory <3519>
of Lebanon <3844> shall be given <5414> unto it, the excellency
<1926> of Carmel <3760> and Sharon <8289>, they shall see <7200>
the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068>, [and] the excellency <1926>
of our God <0430>.



3 Strengthen <2388> ye the weak <7504> hands < 3027>, and
confirm <0553> the feeble <3782> knees <1290>.



4 Say <0559> to them [that are] of a fearful <4116> heart
<3820>, Be strong <2388>, fear <3372> not: behold <2009>, your
God <0430> will come <0935> [with] vengeance < 5359>, [even] God
<0430> [with] a recompence <1576>; he will come < 0935> and save
<3467> you.



5. Then <0227> the eyes <5869> of the blind < 5787> shall be
opened <6491>, and the ears <0241> of the deaf < 2795> shall be
unstopped <6605>.



6 Then <0227> shall the lame <6455> [man] leap < 1801> as an
hart <0354>, and the tongue <3956> of the dumb < 0483> sing
<7442>: for in the wilderness <4057> shall waters < 4325> break
<1234> out, and streams <5158> in the desert < 6160>.



7 And the parched <8273> ground shall become <1961> a pool <98>,
and the thirsty <6774> land springs <4002> of water <4325>: in
the habitation <5116> of dragons <8577>, where each lay <7258>,
[shall be] grass <2682> with reeds <7070> and rushes <1573>.



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



9 No <3808> lion <0738> shall be there <8033>, nor <1077> [any]
ravenous <6530> beast <2416> shall go <5927> up thereon, it
shall not be found <4672> there <8033>; but the redeemed <1350>
shall walk <1980> [there]:



10 And the ransomed <6299> of the LORD <3068> shall return
<7725>, and come <0935> to Zion <6726> with songs <7440> and
everlasting <5769> joy <8057> upon their heads < 7218>: they
shall obtain <5381> joy <8057> and gladness < 8057>, and sorrow
<3015> and sighing <0585> shall flee <5127> away.



Isaiah 36



1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the fourteenth year < 8141> of
king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>, [that] Sennacherib < 5576> king
<4428> of Assyria <0804> came <5927> up against <5921> all
<3605> the defenced <1219> cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and
took <8610> them.



2 And the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> sent < 7971> Rabshakeh
<7262> from Lachish <3923> to Jerusalem <3389> unto king <4428>
Hezekiah <2396> with a great <3515> army <2426>. And he stood
<5975> by the conduit <8585> of the upper <5945> pool <1295> in
the highway <4546> of the fuller's <3526> field < 7704>.



3 Then came <3318> forth <3318> unto him Eliakim < 0471>,
Hilkiah's <2518> son <1121>, which <0834> was over <5921> the
house <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe < 5608>, and Joah
<3098>, Asaph's <0623> son <1121>, the recorder <2142>.



4 And Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559> unto them, Say <0559> ye now
<4994> to Hezekiah <2396>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the great
<1419> king <4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, What
confidence <0986> [is] this <2088> wherein < 0834> thou trustest
<0982>?



5 I say <0559>, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain <8193>
words <1697>) [I have] counsel <6098> and strength <1369> for
war <4421>: now <6258> on <5921> whom < 4310> dost thou trust
<0982>, that thou rebellest <4775> against me?



6 Lo <2009>, thou trustest <0982> in the staff < 4938> of this
<2088> broken <7533> reed <7070>, on < 5921> Egypt <4714>;
whereon if a man <0376> lean <5564>, it will go < 0935> into his
hand <3709>, and pierce <5344> it: so <3651> [is] Pharaoh <6547>
king <4428> of Egypt <4714> to all <3605> that trust <0982> in
him.



7 But if thou say <0559> to me, We trust <0982> in the LORD
<3068> our God <0430>: [is it] not he, whose high < 1111> places
and whose altars <4196> Hezekiah <2396> hath taken <5493> away
<5493>, and said <0559> to Judah <3063> and to Jerusalem <3389>,
Ye shall worship <7812> before <6440> this < 2088> altar <4196>?



8 Now <6258> therefore give pledges <6148>, I pray <4994> thee,
to my master <0113> the king <4428> of Assyria < 0804>, and I
will give <5414> thee two thousand <0505> horses < 5483>, if
<0518> thou be able <3201> on thy part to set < 5414> riders
<7392> upon them.



9 How <0349> then wilt thou turn <7725> away the face <6440> of
one <0259> captain <6346> of the least <6996> of my master's
<0113> servants <5650>, and put thy trust <0982> on <5921> Egypt
<4714> for chariots <7393> and for horsemen < 6571>?



10 And am I now <6258> come <5927> up without < 1107> the LORD
<3068> against <5921> this <2063> land < 0776> to destroy <7843>
it? the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Go < 5927> up against
<0413> this <2063> land <0776>, and destroy < 7843> it.



11. Then said <0559> Eliakim <0471> and Shebna < 7644> and Joah
<3098> unto Rabshakeh <7262>, Speak <1696>, I pray <4994> thee,
unto thy servants <5650> in the Syrian <0762> language; for we
understand <8085> [it]: and speak <1696> not to us in the Jews
<3064>' language, in the ears <0241> of the people <5971> that
[are] on <5921> the wall <2346>.



12 But Rabshakeh <7262> said <0559>, Hath my master <0113> sent
<7971> me to thy master <0113> and to thee to speak <1696> these
<0428> words <1697>? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men <0582>
that sit <3427> upon the wall <2346>, that they may eat <0398>
their own dung, and drink <8354> their own piss <7890> with you?



13 Then Rabshakeh <7262> stood <5975>, and cried < 7121> with a
loud <1419> voice <6963> in the Jews <3064>' language, and said
<0559>, Hear <8085> ye the words <1697> of the great <1419> king
<4428>, the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.



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



15 Neither <0408> let Hezekiah <2396> make you trust <0982> in
the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will surely
deliver <5337> us: this <2063> city <5892> shall not be
delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king < 4428> of
Assyria <0804>.



16 Hearken <8085> not to Hezekiah <2396>: for thus <3541> saith
<0559> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>, Make <6213> [an
agreement] with me [by] a present <1293>, and come < 3318> out to
me: and eat <0398> ye every <0376> one <0376> of his vine <1612>,
and every <0376> one <0376> of his fig <8384> tree, and drink
<8354> ye every <0376> one <0376> the waters <4325> of his own
cistern <0953>;



17 Until <5704> I come <0935> and take <3947> you away to a
land <0776> like your own land <0776>, a land < 0776> of corn
<1715> and wine <8492>, a land <0776> of bread <3899> and
vineyards <3754>.



18 [Beware] lest <6435> Hezekiah <2396> persuade < 5496> you,
saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> will deliver < 5337> us. Hath any
<0376> of the gods <0430> of the nations <1471> delivered <5337>
his land <0776> out of the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of
Assyria <0804>?



19 Where <0346> [are] the gods <0430> of Hamath < 2574> and
Arphad <0774>? where <0346> [are] the gods < 0430> of Sepharvaim
<5617>? and have they delivered <5337> Samaria < 8111> out of my
hand <3027>?



20 Who <4310> [are they] among all <3605> the gods <0430> of
these <0428> lands <0776>, that have delivered < 5337> their land
<0776> out of my hand <3027>, that the LORD < 3068> should
deliver <5337> Jerusalem <3389> out of my hand < 3027>?



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



22 Then came <0935> Eliakim <0471>, the son < 1121> of Hilkiah
<2518>, that [was] over <5921> the household < 1004>, and Shebna
<7644> the scribe <5608>, and Joah <3098>, the son <1121> of
Asaph <0623>, the recorder <2142>, to Hezekiah < 2396> with
[their] clothes <0899> rent <7167>, and told < 5046> him the
words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>.



Isaiah 37



1. And it came <1961> to pass, when king <4428> Hezekiah <2396>
heard <8085> [it], that he rent <7167> his clothes <0899>, and
covered <3680> himself with sackcloth <8242>, and went <0935>
into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.



2 And he sent <7971> Eliakim <0471>, who <0834> [was] over
<5921> the household <1004>, and Shebna <7644> the scribe <5608>,
and the elders <2205> of the priests <3548> covered <3680> with
sackcloth <8242>, unto Isaiah <3470> the prophet < 5030> the son
<1121> of Amoz <0531>.



3 And they said <0559> unto him, Thus <3541> saith <0559>
Hezekiah <2396>, This <2088> day <3117> [is] a day <3117> of
trouble <6869>, and of rebuke <8433>, and of blasphemy <5007>:
for the children <1121> are come <0935> to the birth <4866>, and
[there is] not strength <3581> to bring <3205> forth <3205>.



4 It may be the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> will hear <8085> the
words <1697> of Rabshakeh <7262>, whom <0834> the king <4428> of
Assyria <0804> his master <0113> hath sent < 7971> to reproach
<2778> the living <2416> God <0430>, and will reprove <3198> the
words <1697> which <0834> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> hath
heard <8085>: wherefore lift <5375> up [thy] prayer <8605> for
the remnant <7611> that is left <4672>.



5 So the servants <5650> of king <4428> Hezekiah < 2396> came
<0935> to Isaiah <3470>.



6 And Isaiah <3470> said <0559> unto them, Thus < 3541> shall ye
say <0559> unto your master <0113>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>, Be not afraid <3372> of the words < 1697> that thou
hast heard <8085>, wherewith <0834> the servants < 5288> of the
king <4428> of Assyria <0804> have blasphemed < 1442> me.



7 Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> a blast < 7307> upon him,
and he shall hear <8085> a rumour <8052>, and return <7725> to
his own land <0776>; and I will cause him to fall < 5307> by the
sword <2719> in his own land <0776>.



8. So Rabshakeh <7262> returned <7725>, and found <4672> the
king <4428> of Assyria <0804> warring <3898> against <5921>
Libnah <3841>: for he had heard <8085> that he was departed
<5265> from Lachish <3923>.



9 And he heard <8085> say <0559> concerning < 5921> Tirhakah
<8640> king <4428> of Ethiopia <3568>, He is come <3318> forth
<3318> to make war <3898> with thee. And when he heard <8085>
[it], he sent <7971> messengers <4397> to Hezekiah <2396>,
saying <0559>,



10 Thus <3541> shall ye speak <0559> to Hezekiah < 2396> king
<4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, Let not thy God <0430>,
in whom <0834> thou trustest <0982>, deceive < 5377> thee, saying
<0559>, Jerusalem <3389> shall not be given < 5414> into the hand
<3027> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>.



11 Behold <2009>, thou hast heard <8085> what < 0834> the kings
<4428> of Assyria <0804> have done <6213> to all <3605> lands
<0776> by destroying <2763> them utterly; and shalt thou be
delivered <5337>?



12 Have the gods <0430> of the nations <1471> delivered <5337>
them which <0834> my fathers <1> have destroyed < 7843>, [as]
Gozan <1470>, and Haran <2771>, and Rezeph < 7530>, and the
children <1121> of Eden <5731> which <0834> [were] in Telassar
<8515>?



13 Where <0346> [is] the king <4428> of Hamath < 2574>, and the
king <4428> of Arphad <0774>, and the king < 4428> of the city
<5892> of Sepharvaim <5617>, Hena <2012>, and Ivah <5755>?



14 And Hezekiah <2396> received <3947> the letter <5612> from
the hand <3027> of the messengers <4397>, and read <7121> it:
and Hezekiah <2396> went <5927> up unto the house < 1004> of the
LORD <3068>, and spread <6566> it before <6440> the LORD <3068>.



15 And Hezekiah <2396> prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>,
saying <0559>,



16 O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, God <0430> of Israel <3478>,
that dwellest <3427> [between] the cherubims <3742>, thou [art]
the God <0430>, [even] thou alone <0905>, of all < 3605> the
kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>: thou hast made <6213>
heaven <8064> and earth <0776>.



17 Incline <5186> thine ear <0241>, O LORD < 3068>, and hear
<8085>; open <6491> thine eyes <5869>, O LORD <3068>, and see
<7200>: and hear <8085> all <3605> the words <1697> of
Sennacherib <5576>, which <0834> hath sent < 7971> to reproach
<2778> the living <2416> God <0430>.



18 Of a truth <0551>, LORD <3068>, the kings < 4428> of Assyria
<0804> have laid waste <2717> all <3605> the nations <0776>, and
their countries <0776>,



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



20 Now <6258> therefore, O LORD <3068> our God < 0430>, save
<3467> us from his hand <3027>, that all <3605> the kingdoms
<4467> of the earth <0776> may know <3045> that thou [art] the
LORD <3068>, [even] thou only <0905>.



21. Then Isaiah <3470> the son <1121> of Amoz < 0531> sent
<7971> unto Hezekiah <2396>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith
<0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel < 3478>, Whereas
<0834> thou hast prayed <6419> to me against < 0413> Sennacherib
<5576> king <4428> of Assyria <0804>:



22 This <2088> [is] the word <1697> which < 0834> the LORD
<3068> hath spoken <1696> concerning <5921> him; The virgin
<1330>, the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>, hath despised <0959>
thee, [and] laughed <3932> thee to scorn; the daughter < 1323> of
Jerusalem <3389> hath shaken <5128> her head < 7218> at thee.



23 Whom hast thou reproached <2778> and blasphemed < 1442>? and
against <5921> whom <4310> hast thou exalted < 7311> [thy] voice
<6963>, and lifted <5375> up thine eyes <5869> on high <4796>?
[even] against <0413> the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.



24 By thy servants <5650> hast thou reproached <2778> the Lord
<0136>, and hast said <0559>, By the multitude < 7230> of my
chariots <7393> am I come <5927> up to the height < 4791> of the
mountains <2022>, to the sides <3411> of Lebanon < 3844>; and I
will cut <3772> down the tall <6967> cedars < 0730> thereof,
[and] the choice <4005> fir <1265> trees thereof: and I will
enter <0935> into the height <4791> of his border < 7093>, [and]
the forest <3293> of his Carmel <3760>.



25 I have digged <5365>, and drunk <8354> water < 4325>; and
with the sole <3709> of my feet <6471> have I dried <2717> up
all <3605> the rivers <2975> of the besieged < 4693> places.



26 Hast thou not heard <8085> long <5704> ago < 7350>, [how] I
have done <6213> it; [and] of ancient <6924> times <3117>, that
I have formed <3335> it? now <6258> have I brought <0935> it to
pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste <7582> defenced <1219>
cities <5892> [into] ruinous <5327> heaps <1530> .



27 Therefore their inhabitants <3427> [were] of small < 7116>
power <3027>, they were dismayed <2865> and confounded <0954>:
they were [as] the grass <6212> of the field <7704>, and [as]
the green <3419> herb <1877>, [as] the grass < 2682> on the
housetops <1406>, and [as corn] blasted <7709> before <6440> it
be grown <6965> up.



28 But I know <3045> thy abode <3427>, and thy going <3318> out,
and thy coming <0935> in, and thy rage <7264> against <0413> me.



29 Because <3282> thy rage <7264> against < 0413> me, and thy
tumult <7600>, is come <5927> up into mine ears < 0241>,
therefore will I put <7760> my hook <2397> in thy nose <0639>,
and my bridle <4964> in thy lips <8193>, and I will turn <7725>
thee back <7725> by the way <1870> by which < 0834> thou camest
<0935>.



30 And this <2088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee, Ye shall
eat <0398> [this] year <8141> such as groweth < 5599> of itself;
and the second <8145> year <8141> that which springeth <7823> of
the same: and in the third <7992> year <8141> sow < 2232> ye, and
reap <7114>, and plant <5193> vineyards <3754>, and eat <0398>
the fruit <6529> thereof.



31 And the remnant <7604> that is escaped <6413> of the house
<1004> of Judah <3063> shall again take root < 8328> downward
<4295>, and bear <6213> fruit <6529> upward < 4605>:



32 For out of Jerusalem <3389> shall go <3318> forth <3318> a
remnant <7611>, and they that escape <6413> out of mount <2022>
Zion <6726>: the zeal <7068> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>
shall do <6213> this <2063>.



33 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>
concerning <0413> the king <4428> of Assyria < 0804>, He shall
not come <0935> into <0413> this <2063> city <5892>, nor <3808>
shoot an arrow <2671> there <8033>, nor <3808> come <6923>
before <6924> it with shields <4043>, nor <3808> cast <8210> a
bank <5550> against <5921> it.



34 By the way <1870> that he came <0935>, by the same shall he
return <7725>, and shall not come <0935> into < 0413> this <2063>
city <5892>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



35 For I will defend <1598> this <2063> city < 5892> to save
<3467> it for mine own sake, and for my servant <5650> David's
<1732> sake <4616>.



36 Then the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> went < 3318> forth
<3318>, and smote <5221> in the camp <4264> of the Assyrians
<0804> a hundred <3967> and fourscore <8084> and five <2568>
thousand <0505>: and when they arose <2224> early < 7925> in the
morning <1242>, behold <2009>, they [were] all < 3605> dead
<4191> corpses <6297>.



37 So Sennacherib <5576> king <4428> of Assyria < 0804> departed
<5265>, and went <3212> and returned <7725>, and dwelt <3427> at
Nineveh <5210>.



38 And it came <1961> to pass, as he was worshipping < 7812> in
the house <1004> of Nisroch <5268> his god < 0430>, that
Adrammelech <0152> and Sharezer <8272> his sons < 1121> smote
<5221> him with the sword <2719>; and they escaped <4422> into
the land <0776> of Armenia <0780>: and Esarhaddon < 0634> his son
<1121> reigned <4427> in his stead <8478>.



Isaiah 38



1. In those <1992> days <3117> was Hezekiah < 2396> sick <2470>
unto death <4191>. And Isaiah <3470> the prophet < 5030> the son
<1121> of Amoz <0531> came <0935> unto him, and said <0559> unto
him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Set thine house
<1004> in order <6680>: for thou shalt die < 4191>, and not live
<2421>.



2 Then Hezekiah <2396> turned <5437> his face < 6440> toward
<0413> the wall <7023>, and prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>,



3 And said <0559>, Remember <2142> now <4994>, O LORD <3068>, I
beseech <0577> thee, how <0834> I have walked < 1980> before
<6440> thee in truth <0571> and with a perfect < 8003> heart
<3820>, and have done <6213> [that which is] good < 2896> in thy
sight <5869>. And Hezekiah <2396> wept <1058> sore <1419>.



4 Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068> to Isaiah
<3470>, saying <0559>,



5 Go <1980>, and say <0559> to Hezekiah <2396>, Thus <3541>
saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of David <1732> thy
father <1>, I have heard <8085> thy prayer < 8605>, I have seen
<7200> thy tears <1832>: behold <2005>, I will add <3254> unto
thy days <3117> fifteen <6240> years <8141>.



6 And I will deliver <5337> thee and this <2063> city <5892>
out of the hand <3709> of the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>: and
I will defend <1598> this <2063> city <5892>.



7 And this <2088> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee from the
LORD <3068>, that the LORD <3068> will do <6213> this <2088>
thing <1697> that he hath spoken <1696>;



8 Behold <2005>, I will bring <7725> again < 7725> the shadow
<6738> of the degrees <4609>, which <0834> is gone <3381> down
in the sun <8121> dial <4609> of Ahaz <0271>, ten <6235> degrees
<4609> backward <0322>. So the sun <8121> returned <7725> ten
<6235> degrees <4609>, by which degrees <4609> it was gone
<3381> down.



9. The writing <4385> of Hezekiah <2396> king < 4428> of Judah
<3063>, when he had been sick <2470>, and was recovered <2421>
of his sickness <2483>:



10 I said <0559> in the cutting <1824> off of my days <3117>, I
shall go <3212> to the gates <8179> of the grave < 7585>: I am
deprived <6485> of the residue <3499> of my years < 8141>.



11 I said <0559>, I shall not see <7200> the LORD <3050>,
[even] the LORD <3050>, in the land <0776> of the living <2416>:
I shall behold <7200> man <0120> no <3808> more with the
inhabitants <3427> of the world <2309>.



12 Mine age <1755> is departed <5265>, and is removed <1556>
from me as a shepherd's <7473> tent <0168>: I have cut <7088>
off like a weaver <0707> my life <2416>: he will cut <1214> me
off with pining <1803> sickness: from day <3117> [even] to night
<3915> wilt thou make an end <7999> of me.



13 I reckoned <7737> till <5704> morning <1242> , [that], as a
lion <0738>, so <3651> will he break <7665> all <3605> my bones
<6106>: from day <3117> [even] to night <3915> wilt thou make an
end <7999> of me.



14 Like a crane <5483> [or] a swallow <5693>, so < 3651> did I
chatter <6850>: I did mourn <1897> as a dove < 3123>: mine eyes
<5869> fail <1809> [with looking] upward <4791>: O LORD <3068>,
I am oppressed <6234>; undertake <6148> for me.



15 What <4100> shall I say <1696>? he hath both spoken <0559>
unto me, and himself <1931> hath done <6213> [it]: I shall go
<1718> softly all <3605> my years <8141> in the bitterness
<4751> of my soul <5315>.



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



17 Behold <2009>, for peace <7965> I had great bitterness
<4843>: but thou hast in love <2836> to my soul < 5315>
[delivered it] from the pit <7845> of corruption < 1097>: for
thou hast cast <7993> all <3605> my sins <2399> behind <0310>
thy back <1458>.



18 For the grave <7585> cannot <3808> praise < 3034> thee, death
<4194> can <3201> [not] celebrate <1984> thee: they that go
<3381> down <3381> into the pit <0953> cannot <3808> hope <7663>
for thy truth <0571>.



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



20 The LORD <3068> [was ready] to save <3467> me: therefore we
will sing my songs <5058> to the stringed <5058> instruments all
<3605> the days <3117> of our life <2416> in the house <1004> of
the LORD <3068>.



21 For Isaiah <3470> had said <0559>, Let them take <5375> a
lump <1690> of figs <8384>, and lay [it] for a plaister <4799>
upon the boil <7822>, and he shall recover <2421>.



22 Hezekiah <2396> also had said <0559>, What < 4100> [is] the
sign <0226> that I shall go <5927> up to the house <1004> of the
LORD <3068>?



Isaiah 39



1. At that time <6256> Merodachbaladan <4757>, the son <1121>
of Baladan <1081>, king <4428> of Babylon <0894> , sent <7971>
letters <5612> and a present <4503> to Hezekiah < 2396>: for he
had heard <8085> that he had been sick <2470>, and was recovered
<2388>.



2 And Hezekiah <2396> was glad <8056> of them, and shewed
<7200> them the house <1004> of his precious < 5238> things, the
silver <3701>, and the gold <2091>, and the spices <1314>, and
the precious <2896> ointment <8081>, and all < 3605> the house
<1004> of his armour <3627>, and all <3605> that was found
<4672> in his treasures <0214>: there was nothing in his house
<1004>, nor in all <3605> his dominion <4475>, that Hezekiah
<2396> shewed <7200> them not.



3 Then came <0935> Isaiah <3470> the prophet < 5030> unto king
<4428> Hezekiah <2396>, and said <0559> unto him, What <4100>
said <0559> these <0428> men <0582>? and from whence <0370> came
<0935> they unto thee? And Hezekiah <2396> said < 0559>, They are
come <0935> from a far <7350> country <0776> unto me, [even]
from Babylon <0894>.



4 Then said <0559> he, What <4100> have they seen <7200> in
thine house <1004>? And Hezekiah <2396> answered < 0559>, All
<3605> that [is] in mine house <1004> have they seen <7200>:
there is nothing among my treasures <0214> that I have not
shewed <7200> them.



5. Then said <0559> Isaiah <3470> to Hezekiah < 2396>, Hear
<8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>:



6 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, that all <3605>
that [is] in thine house <1004>, and [that] which < 0834> thy
fathers <1> have laid up in store <0686> until < 5704> this
<2088> day <3117>, shall be carried <5375> to Babylon <0894>:
nothing shall be left <3498>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



7 And of thy sons <1121> that shall issue <3318> from thee,
which <0834> thou shalt beget <3205>, shall they take <3947>
away; and they shall be eunuchs <5631> in the palace < 1964> of
the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>.



8 Then said <0559> Hezekiah <2396> to Isaiah < 3470>, Good
<1319> [is] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> thou
hast spoken <1696>. He said <0559> moreover, For there shall be
peace <7965> and truth <0571> in my days <3117>.



Isaiah 40



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



2 Speak <1696> ye comfortably to Jerusalem <3389>, and cry
<7121> unto her, that her warfare <6635> is accomplished <4390>,
that her iniquity <5771> is pardoned <7521>: for she hath
received <3947> of the LORD'S <3068> hand <3027> double <3718>
for all <3605> her sins <2403>.



3. The voice <6963> of him that crieth <7121> in the wilderness
<4057>, Prepare <6437> ye the way <1870> of the LORD <3068>,
make straight <3474> in the desert <6160> a highway <4546> for
our God <0430>.



4 Every <3605> valley <1516> shall be exalted < 5375>, and every
<3605> mountain <2022> and hill <1389> shall be made low <8213>:
and the crooked <6121> shall be made straight <4334>, and the
rough <7406> places plain <1237>:



5 And the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> shall be revealed
<1540>, and all <3605> flesh <1320> shall see <7200> [it]
together <3162>: for the mouth <6310> of the LORD < 3068> hath
spoken <1696> [it].



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



7 The grass <2682> withereth <3001>, the flower < 6731> fadeth
<5034>: because <3588> the spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068>
bloweth <5380> upon it: surely <0406> the people < 5971> [is]
grass <2682>.



8 The grass <2682> withereth <3001>, the flower < 6731> fadeth
<5034>: but the word <1697> of our God <0430> shall stand <6965>
for ever <5769>.



9. O Zion <6726>, that bringest <1319> good < 1319> tidings
<1319>, get <5927> thee up into <5921> the high <1364> mountain
<2022>; O Jerusalem <3389>, that bringest <1319> good tidings
<1319>, lift <7311> up thy voice <6963> with strength <3581>;
lift <7311> [it] up, be not afraid <3372>; say < 0559> unto the
cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, Behold <2009> your God <0430>!



10 Behold <2009>, the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will come <0935>
with strong <2389> [hand], and his arm <2220> shall rule <4910>
for him: behold <2009>, his reward <7939> [is] with him, and his
work <6468> before <6440> him.



11 He shall feed <7462> his flock <5739> like a shepherd <7462>:
he shall gather <6908> the lambs <2922> with his arm <2220>,
and carry <5375> [them] in his bosom <2436>, [and] shall gently
lead <5095> those that are with young <5763>.



12. Who <4310> hath measured <4058> the waters < 4325> in the
hollow <8168> of his hand, and meted <8505> out heaven <8064>
with the span <2239>, and comprehended <3557> the dust <6083> of
the earth <0776> in a measure <7991>, and weighed < 8254> the
mountains <2022> in scales <6425>, and the hills < 1389> in a
balance <3976>?



13 Who <4310> hath directed <8505> the Spirit < 7307> of the
LORD <3068>, or [being] his counsellor <6098> hath taught <3045>
him?



14 With whom <4310> took he counsel <3289>, and [who]
instructed <0995> him, and taught <3925> him in the path <0734>
of judgment <4941>, and taught <3925> him knowledge <1847>, and
shewed <3045> to him the way <1870> of understanding <8394>?



15 Behold <2005>, the nations <1471> [are] as a drop <4752> of
a bucket <1805>, and are counted <2803> as the small dust <7834>
of the balance <3976>: behold <2005>, he taketh < 5190> up the
isles <0339> as a very <1851> little <1851> thing.



16 And Lebanon <3844> [is] not sufficient <1767> to burn <1197>,
nor <0369> the beasts <2416> thereof sufficient < 1767> for a
burnt <5930> offering.



17 All <3605> nations <1471> before <6440> him [are] as nothing
<0369>; and they are counted <2803> to him less < 0657> than
nothing, and vanity <8414>.



18. To whom <4310> then will ye liken <1819> God < 0410>? or
what <4100> likeness <1823> will ye compare < 6186> unto him?



19 The workman <2796> melteth <5258> a graven < 6459> image, and
the goldsmith <6884> spreadeth <7554> it over with gold <2091>,
and casteth <6884> silver <3701> chains <7569>.



20 He that [is] so impoverished <5533> that he hath no < 3808>
oblation <8641> chooseth <0977> a tree <6086> [that] will not
rot <7537>; he seeketh <1245> unto him a cunning < 2450> workman
<2796> to prepare <3559> a graven <6459> image, [that] shall not
be moved <4131>.



21 Have ye not known <3045>? have ye not heard <8085> ? hath it
not been told <5046> you from the beginning <7218>? have ye not
understood <0995> from the foundations <4146> of the earth
<0776>?



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



23 That bringeth <5414> the princes <7336> to nothing; he
maketh <6213> the judges <8199> of the earth < 0776> as vanity
<8414>.



24 Yea <0637>, they shall not be planted <5193>; yea <0637>,
they shall not be sown <2232>: yea <0637>, their stock <1503>
shall not take <3947> root <8327> in the earth < 0776>: and he
shall also <1571> blow <5398> upon them, and they shall wither
<3001>, and the whirlwind <5591> shall take < 5375> them away as
stubble <7179>.



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



26 Lift <5375> up your eyes <5869> on high < 4791>, and behold
<7200> who <4310> hath created <1254> these < 0428> [things],
that bringeth <3318> out their host <6635> by number <4557>: he
calleth <7121> them all <3605> by names <8034> by the greatness
<7230> of his might <0202>, for that [he is] strong <0533> in
power <3581>; not one <0376> faileth <5737>.



27. Why <4100> sayest <0559> thou, O Jacob < 3290>, and speakest
<1696>, O Israel <3478>, My way <1870> is hid <5641> from the
LORD <3068>, and my judgment <4941> is passed < 5674> over <5674>
from my God <0430>?



28 Hast thou not known <3045>? hast thou not heard < 8085>,
[that] the everlasting <5769> God <0430>, the LORD <3068>, the
Creator <1254> of the ends <7098> of the earth < 0776>, fainteth
<3286> not, neither <3808> is weary <3021>? [there is] no <0369>
searching <2714> of his understanding <8394>.



29 He giveth <5414> power <3581> to the faint < 3287>; and to
[them that have] no <0369> might <0202> he increaseth <7235>
strength <6109>.



30 Even the youths <5288> shall faint <3286> and be weary
<3021>, and the young men shall utterly fall <3782>:



31 But they that wait <6960> upon the LORD <3068> shall renew
<2498> [their] strength <3581>; they shall mount < 5927> up with
wings <83> as eagles <5404>; they shall run < 7323>, and not be
weary <3021>; [and] they shall walk <3212>, and not faint <3286>.



Isaiah 41



1. Keep silence <2790> before <0413> me, O islands <0339>; and
let the people <3816> renew <2498> [their] strength <3581>: let
them come <5066> near <5066>; then <0227> let them speak <1696>:
let us come <7126> near <7126> together <3162> to judgment
<4941>.



2 Who <4310> raised <5782> up the righteous < 6664> [man] from
the east <4217>, called <7121> him to his foot < 7272>, gave
<5414> the nations <1471> before <6440> him, and made [him] rule
<7287> over kings <4428>? he gave <5414> [them] as the dust
<6083> to his sword <2719>, [and] as driven < 5086> stubble
<7179> to his bow <7198>.



3 He pursued <7291> them, [and] passed <5674> safely <7965>;
[even] by the way <0734> [that] he had not gone <0935> with his
feet <7272>.



4 Who <4310> hath wrought <6466> and done < 6213> [it], calling
<7121> the generations <1755> from the beginning < 7218>? I the
LORD <3068>, the first <7223>, and with the last < 0314>; I [am]
he.



5 The isles <0339> saw <7200> [it], and feared < 3372>; the ends
<7098> of the earth <0776> were afraid <2729>, drew near <7126>,
and came <0857>.



6 They helped <5826> every <0376> one <0376> his neighbour
<7453>; and [every <0376> one <0376>] said < 0559> to his brother
<0251>, Be of good <1390> courage <2388>.



7 So the carpenter <2796> encouraged <2388> the goldsmith
<6884>, [and] he that smootheth <2505> [with] the hammer <6360>
him that smote <1986> the anvil <6471>, saying < 0559>, It [is]
ready <2896> for the sodering <1694>: and he fastened <2388> it
with nails <4548>, [that] it should not be moved < 4131>.



8 But thou, Israel <3478>, [art] my servant <5650>, Jacob
<3290> whom <0834> I have chosen <0977>, the seed <2233> of
Abraham <85> my friend <0157>.



9 [Thou] whom <0834> I have taken <2388> from the ends <7098>
of the earth <0776>, and called <7121> thee from the chief
<0678> men thereof, and said <0559> unto thee, Thou [art] my
servant <5650>; I have chosen <0977> thee, and not cast <3988>
thee away.



10. Fear <3372> thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed
<8159>; for I [am] thy God <0430>: I will strengthen <0553> thee;
yea <0637>, I will help <5826> thee; yea <0637> , I will uphold
<8551> thee with the right <3225> hand <3225> of my
righteousness <6664>.



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



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



13 For I the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> will hold <2388> thy
right <3225> hand <3225>, saying <0559> unto thee, Fear <3372>
not; I will help <5826> thee.



14 Fear <3372> not, thou worm <8438> Jacob < 3290>, [and] ye men
<4962> of Israel <3478>; I will help <5826> thee, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>, and thy redeemer <1350>, the Holy <6918> One of
Israel <3478>.



15 Behold <2009>, I will make <7760> thee a new < 2319> sharp
<2742> threshing <4173> instrument having <1167> teeth <6374>:
thou shalt thresh <1758> the mountains <2022>, and beat <1854>
[them] small <1854>, and shalt make <7760> the hills <1389> as
chaff <4671>.



16 Thou shalt fan <2219> them, and the wind <7307> shall carry
<5375> them away, and the whirlwind <5591> shall scatter <6327>
them: and thou shalt rejoice <1523> in the LORD <3068> , [and]
shalt glory <1984> in the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.



17 [When] the poor <6041> and needy <34> seek < 1245> water
<4325>, and [there is] none <0369>, [and] their tongue <3956>
faileth <5405> for thirst <6772>, I the LORD < 3068> will hear
<6030> them, I the God <0430> of Israel <3478> will not forsake
<5800> them.



18 I will open <6605> rivers <5103> in high < 8203> places, and
fountains <4599> in the midst <8432> of the valleys <1237>: I
will make <7760> the wilderness <4057> a pool < 98> of water
<4325>, and the dry <6723> land <0776> springs <4161> of water
<4325>.



19 I will plant <5414> in the wilderness <4057> the cedar
<0730>, the shittah <7848> tree <6086>, and the myrtle <1918>,
and the oil <8081> tree <6086>; I will set < 7760> in the desert
<6160> the fir <1265> tree, [and] the pine < 8410>, and the box
<8391> tree together <3162>:



20 That they may see <7200>, and know <3045>, and consider
<7760>, and understand <7919> together <3162>, that the hand
<3027> of the LORD <3068> hath done <6213> this <2063>, and the
Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478> hath created < 1254> it.



21. Produce <7126> your cause <7379>, saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068>; bring <5066> forth <5066> your strong <6110> [reasons],
saith <0559> the King <4428> of Jacob <3290>.



22 Let them bring <5066> [them] forth <5066>, and shew <5046>
us what shall happen <7136>: let them shew <5046> the former
<7223> things, what <4100> they [be], that we may consider them,
and know <3045> the latter <0319> end of them; or declare <8085>
us things for to come <0935>.



23 Shew <5046> the things that are to come <0857> hereafter
<0268>, that we may know <3045> that ye [are] gods <0430>: yea
<0637>, do good <1319>, or do evil <7489>, that we may be
dismayed <8159>, and behold <7200> [it] together < 3162>.



24 Behold <2005>, ye [are] of nothing <0369>, and your work
<6467> of nought <0659>: an abomination <8441> [is he that]
chooseth <0977> you.



25 I have raised <5782> up [one] from the north < 6828>, and he
shall come <0857>: from the rising <4217> of the sun <8121>
shall he call <7121> upon my name <8034>: and he shall come
<0935> upon princes <5461> as [upon] morter < 2563>, and as the
potter <3335> treadeth <7429> clay <2916>.



26 Who <4310> hath declared <5046> from the beginning <7218>,
that we may know <3045>? and beforetime <6440>, that we may say
<0559>, [He is] righteous <6662>? yea <0637>, [there is] none
<0369> that sheweth <5046>, yea <0637>, [there is] none <0369>
that declareth <5046>, yea <0637>, [there is] none <0369> that
heareth <8085> your words <0561>.



27 The first <7223> [shall say] to Zion <6726>, Behold <2009>,
behold <2009> them: and I will give <5414> to Jerusalem <3389>
one that bringeth <1319> good <1319> tidings < 1319>.



28 For I beheld <7200>, and [there was] no <0369> man <0376>;
even among them, and [there was] no <0369> counsellor < 3289>,
that, when I asked <7592> of them, could answer <7725> a word
<1697>.



29 Behold <2005>, they [are] all <3605> vanity < 0205>; their
works <4639> [are] nothing <0657>: their molten < 5262> images
[are] wind <7307> and confusion <5414>.



Isaiah 42



1. Behold <2005> my servant <5650>, whom I uphold <8551>; mine
elect <0972>, [in whom] my soul <5315> delighteth < 7521>; I have
put <5414> my spirit <7307> upon him: he shall bring <3318>
forth <3318> judgment <4941> to the Gentiles < 1471>.



2 He shall not cry <6817>, nor <3808> lift < 5375> up, nor
<3808> cause his voice <6963> to be heard <8085> in the street
<2351>.



3 A bruised <7533> reed <7070> shall he not break <7665>, and
the smoking <3544> flax <6594> shall he not quench <3518>: he
shall bring <3318> forth <3318> judgment <4941> unto truth
<0571>.



4 He shall not fail <3543> nor <3808> be discouraged <7533>,
till <5704> he have set <7760> judgment <4941> in the earth
<0776>: and the isles <0339> shall wait <3176> for his law
<8451>.



5. Thus <3541> saith <0559> God <0410> the LORD <3068>, he that
created <1254> the heavens <8064>, and stretched < 5186> them out;
he that spread <7554> forth the earth <0776>, and that which
cometh <6631> out of it; he that giveth <5414> breath <5397>
unto the people <5971> upon it, and spirit <7307> to them that
walk <1980> therein:



6 I the LORD <3068> have called <7121> thee in righteousness
<6664>, and will hold <2388> thine hand <3027>, and will keep
<5341> thee, and give <5414> thee for a covenant < 1285> of the
people <5971>, for a light <0216> of the Gentiles < 1471>;



7 To open <6491> the blind <5787> eyes <5869>, to bring <3318>
out the prisoners <0616> from the prison <4525>, [and] them that
sit <3427> in darkness <2822> out of the prison < 3608> house
<1004>.



8 I [am] the LORD <3068>: that [is] my name <8034>: and my
glory <3519> will I not give <5414> to another < 0312>, neither
my praise <8416> to graven <6456> images.



9 Behold <2009>, the former <7223> things are come <0935> to
pass, and new <2319> things do I declare <5046>: before <2962>
they spring <6779> forth I tell <8085> you of them.



10 Sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068> a new < 2319> song <7892>,
[and] his praise <8416> from the end <7097> of the earth <0776>,
ye that go <3381> down <3381> to the sea <3220>, and all <4393>
that is therein <4393>; the isles <0339>, and the inhabitants
<3427> thereof.



11 Let the wilderness <4057> and the cities <5892> thereof lift
<5375> up [their voice], the villages <2691> [that] Kedar <6938>
doth inhabit <3427>: let the inhabitants <3427> of the rock
<5553> sing <7442>, let them shout <6681> from the top <7218> of
the mountains <2022>.



12 Let them give <7760> glory <3519> unto the LORD <3068>, and
declare <5046> his praise <8416> in the islands < 0339>.



13. The LORD <3068> shall go <3318> forth < 3318> as a mighty
<1368> man <0376>, he shall stir <5782> up jealousy <7068> like
a man <0376> of war <4421>: he shall cry <7321>, yea <0637>,
roar <6873>; he shall prevail <1396> against < 5921> his enemies
<0341>.



14 I have long <5769> time holden <2814> my peace <7814>; I
have been <1961> still <2790>, [and] refrained < 0662> myself:
[now] will I cry <6463> like a travailing <3205> woman; I will
destroy <5395> and devour <7602> at <3162> once <3162>.



15 I will make <7760> waste <2717> mountains < 2022> and hills
<1389>, and dry <3001> up all <3605> their herbs <6212>; and I
will make <7760> the rivers <5103> islands < 0339>, and I will
dry <3001> up the pools <98>.



16 And I will bring <3212> the blind <5787> by a way <1870>
[that] they knew <3045> not; I will lead <1869> them in paths
<5410> [that] they have not known <3045>: I will make <7760>
darkness <4285> light <0216> before <6440> them, and crooked
<4625> things straight <4334>. These <0428> things <1697> will I
do <6213> unto them, and not forsake <5800> them.



17 They shall be turned <5472> back <0268>, they shall be
greatly ashamed <0954>, that trust <0982> in graven <6459>
images, that say <0559> to the molten <4541> images, Ye [are]
our gods <0430>.



18. Hear <8085>, ye deaf <2795>; and look < 5027>, ye blind
<5787>, that ye may see <7200>.



19 Who <4310> [is] blind <5787>, but my servant < 5650>? or deaf
<2795>, as my messenger <4397> [that] I sent < 7971>? who <4310>
[is] blind <5787> as [he that is] perfect <7999>, and blind
<5787> as the LORD'S <3068> servant <5650>?



20 Seeing <7200> many <7227> things, but thou observest <8104>
not; opening <6491> the ears <0241>, but he heareth <8085> not.



21 The LORD <3068> is well <2654> pleased < 2654> for his
righteousness <6664>' sake <4616>; he will magnify <1431> the
law <8451>, and make [it] honourable <0142>.



22 But this <1931> [is] a people <5971> robbed < 0962> and
spoiled <8154>; [they are] all <3605> of them snared <6351> in
holes <2356>, and they are hid <2244> in prison < 3608> houses
<1004>: they are for a prey <0957>, and none < 0369> delivereth
<5337>; for a spoil <4933>, and none <0369> saith <0559>,
Restore <7725>.



23 Who <4310> among you will give ear <0238> to this <2063>?
[who] will hearken <7181> and hear <8085> for the time <0268> to
come?



24 Who <4310> gave <5414> Jacob <3290> for a spoil <4882>, and
Israel <3478> to the robbers <0962>? did not the LORD <3068>, he
against whom <2098> we have sinned <2398>? for they would <14>
not walk <1980> in his ways <1870>, neither < 3808> were they
obedient <8085> unto his law <8451>.



25 Therefore he hath poured <8210> upon him the fury < 2534> of
his anger <0639>, and the strength <5807> of battle <4421>: and
it hath set <7760> him on fire <3857> round < 5439> about, yet he
knew <3045> not; and it burned <1197> him, yet he laid <7760>
[it] not to heart <3820>.



Isaiah 43



1. But now <6258> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> that
created <1254> thee, O Jacob <3290>, and he that formed <3335>
thee, O Israel <3478>, Fear <3372> not: for I have redeemed
<1350> thee, I have called <7121> [thee] by thy name <8034>;
thou [art] mine.



2 When <3588> thou passest <5674> through the waters <4325>, I
[will be] with thee; and through the rivers <5103>, they shall
not overflow <7857> thee: when <3588> thou walkest <3212>
through <1119> the fire <0784>, thou shalt not be burned <3554>;
neither <3808> shall the flame <3852> kindle < 1197> upon thee.



3 For I [am] the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, the Holy <6918>
One of Israel <3478>, thy Saviour <3467>: I gave < 5414> Egypt
<4714> [for] thy ransom <3724>, Ethiopia <3568> and Seba <5434>
for thee.



4 Since thou wast precious <3365> in my sight <5869>, thou hast
been honourable <3513>, and I have loved <0157> thee: therefore
will I give <5414> men <0120> for thee, and people <3816> for
thy life <5315>.



5 Fear <3372> not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring < 0935>
thy seed <2233> from the east <4217>, and gather < 6908> thee
from the west <4628>;



6 I will say <0559> to the north <6828>, Give < 5414> up; and to
the south <8486>, Keep <3607> not back <3607>: bring <0935> my
sons <1121> from far <7350>, and my daughters < 1121> from the
ends <7097> of the earth <0776>;



7 [Even] every <3605> one that is called <7121> by my name
<8034>: for I have created <1254> him for my glory <3519>, I
have formed <3335> him; yea <0637>, I have made < 6213> him.



8. Bring <3318> forth <3318> the blind <5787> people <5971>
that have <3426> eyes <5869>, and the deaf < 2795> that have ears
<0241>.



9 Let all <3605> the nations <1471> be gathered < 6908> together
<3162>, and let the people <3816> be assembled: who <4310> among
them can declare <5046> this <2063>, and shew < 8085> us former
<7223> things? let them bring <5414> forth their witnesses
<5707>, that they may be justified <6663>: or let them hear
<8085>, and say <0559>, [It is] truth <0571>.



10 Ye [are] my witnesses <5707>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>,
and my servant <5650> whom <0834> I have chosen < 0977>: that ye
may know <3045> and believe <0539> me, and understand <0995>
that I [am] he: before <6440> me there was no <3808> God <0410>
formed <3335>, neither <3808> shall there be after <0310> me.



11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD <3068>; and beside < 1107> me
[there is] no <0369> saviour <3467>.



12 I have declared <5046>, and have saved <3467>, and I have
shewed <8085>, when [there was] no <0369> strange < 2114> [god]
among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses <5707>, saith <5002>
the LORD <3068>, that I [am] God <0410>.



13 Yea <1571>, before the day <3117> [was] I [am] he; and
[there is] none <0369> that can deliver <5337> out of my hand
<3027>: I will work <6466>, and who <4310> shall let <7725> it?



14. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, your redeemer
<1350>, the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>; For your sake
<4616> I have sent <7971> to Babylon <0894>, and have brought
<3381> down <3381> all <3605> their nobles < 1281>, and the
Chaldeans <3778>, whose cry <7440> [is] in the ships <0591>.



15 I [am] the LORD <3068>, your Holy <6918> One, the creator
<1254> of Israel <3478>, your King <4428>.



16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, which maketh
<5414> a way <1870> in the sea <3220>, and a path <5410> in the
mighty <5794> waters <4325>;



17 Which bringeth <3318> forth <4161> the chariot <7393> and
horse <5483>, the army <2428> and the power < 5808>; they shall
lie <7901> down <3381> together <3162>, they shall not rise
<6965>: they are extinct <1846>, they are quenched <3518> as tow
<6594>.



18 Remember <2142> ye not the former <7223> things, neither
<0408> consider <0995> the things of old <6931>.



19 Behold <2005>, I will do <6213> a new <2319> thing; now
<6258> it shall spring <6779> forth <6779>; shall ye not know
<3045> it? I will even <0637> make <7760> a way <1870> in the
wilderness <4057>, [and] rivers <5103> in the desert <3452>.



20 The beast <2416> of the field <7704> shall honour <3513> me,
the dragons <8577> and the owls: because <3588> I give <5414>
waters <4325> in the wilderness <4057>, [and] rivers <5103> in
the desert <3452>, to give drink <8248> to my people <5971>, my
chosen <0972>.



21 This <2098> people <5971> have I formed < 3335> for myself;
they shall shew <5608> forth my praise <8416>.



22. But thou hast not called <7121> upon me, O Jacob < 3290>;
but thou hast been weary <3021> of me, O Israel <3478> .



23 Thou hast not brought <0935> me the small cattle < 7716> of
thy burnt <5930> offerings; neither <3808> hast thou honoured
<3513> me with thy sacrifices <2077>. I have not caused thee to
serve <5647> with an offering <4503>, nor <3808> wearied <3021>
thee with incense <3828>.



24 Thou hast bought <7069> me no <3808> sweet cane <7070> with
money <3701>, neither <3808> hast thou filled < 7301> me with the
fat <2459> of thy sacrifices <2077>: but thou hast made me to
serve <5647> with thy sins <2403>, thou hast wearied <3021> me
with thine iniquities <5771>.



25 I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth <4229> out thy
transgressions <6588> for mine own sake <4616>, and will not
remember <2142> thy sins <2403>.



26 Put me in remembrance <2142>: let us plead <8199> together
<3162>: declare <5608> thou, that thou mayest be justified
<6663>.



27 Thy first <7223> father <1> hath sinned < 2398>, and thy
teachers <3887> have transgressed <6586> against me.



28 Therefore I have profaned <2490> the princes < 8269> of the
sanctuary <6944>, and have given <5414> Jacob < 3290> to the
curse <2764>, and Israel <3478> to reproaches < 1421>.



Isaiah 44



1. Yet now <6258> hear <8085>, O Jacob <3290> my servant <5650>;
and Israel <3478>, whom I have chosen <0977>:



2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> that made <6213>
thee, and formed <3335> thee from the womb <0990>, [which] will
help <5826> thee; Fear <3372> not, O Jacob < 3290>, my servant
<5650>; and thou, Jesurun <3484>, whom I have chosen <0977>.



3 For I will pour <3332> water <4325> upon him that is thirsty
<6771>, and floods <5140> upon the dry <3004> ground: I will
pour <3332> my spirit <7307> upon thy seed < 2233>, and my
blessing <1293> upon thine offspring <6631>:



4 And they shall spring <6779> up [as] among <0996> the grass
<2682>, as willows <6155> by the water <4325> courses <2988>.



5 One shall say <0559>, I [am] the LORD'S <3068>; and another
<2088> shall call <7121> [himself] by the name < 8034> of Jacob
<3290>; and another <2088> shall subscribe < 3789> [with] his
hand <3027> unto the LORD <3068>, and surname < 3655> [himself]
by the name <8034> of Israel <3478>.



6 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> the King <4428> of
Israel <3478>, and his redeemer <1350> the LORD < 3068> of hosts
<6635>; I [am] the first <7223>, and I [am] the last <0314>; and
beside <1107> me [there is] no <0369> God <0430> .



7 And who <4310>, as I, shall call <7121>, and shall declare
<5046> it, and set it in order <6186> for me, since I appointed
<7760> the ancient <5769> people <5971>? and the things that are
coming <0857>, and shall come <0935>, let them shew <5046> unto
them.



8 Fear <6342> ye not, neither <0408> be afraid < 7297>: have not
I told <8085> thee from that time <0227>, and have declared
<5046> [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses <5707>. Is there a God
<0433> beside <1107> me? yea, [there is] no < 0369> God <6697>; I
know <3045> not [any].



9. They that make <3335> a graven <6459> image [are] all <3605>
of them vanity <8414>; and their delectable <2530> things shall
not profit <3276>; and they [are] their own witnesses < 5707>;
they see <7200> not, nor <1077> know <3045>; that they may be
ashamed <0954>.



10 Who <4310> hath formed <3335> a god <0410>, or molten <5258>
a graven <6459> image [that] is profitable <3276> for nothing
<1115>?



11 Behold <2005>, all <3605> his fellows <2270> shall be
ashamed <0954>: and the workmen <2796>, they [are] of men <0120>:
let them all <3605> be gathered <6908> together, let them stand
<5975> up; [yet] they shall fear <6342>, [and] they shall be
ashamed <0954> together <3162>.



12 The smith with the tongs <4621> both worketh < 6466> in the
coals <6352>, and fashioneth <3335> it with hammers <4717>, and
worketh <6466> it with the strength <3581> of his arms <2220>:
yea <1571>, he is hungry <7456>, and his strength < 3581> faileth
<0369>: he drinketh <8354> no <3808> water < 4325>, and is faint
<3286>.



13 The carpenter <2796> stretcheth <5186> out [his] rule <4910>;
he marketh <8388> it out with a line <8279>; he fitteth <6213>
it with planes <4741>, and he marketh <8388> it out with the
compass <4230>, and maketh <6213> it after the figure <8403> of
a man <0376>, according to the beauty <8597> of a man <0120>;
that it may remain <3427> in the house <1004>.



14 He heweth <3772> him down cedars <0730>, and taketh <3947>
the cypress <8645> and the oak <0437>, which he strengtheneth
<0553> for himself among the trees <6086> of the forest <3293>:
he planteth <5192> an ash <0766>, and the rain < 1653> doth
nourish <1431> [it].



15 Then shall it be for a man <0120> to burn <1197>: for he
will take <3947> thereof, and warm <2552> himself; yea <0637>,
he kindleth <5400> [it], and baketh <0644> bread < 3899>; yea
<0637>, he maketh <6466> a god <0410>, and worshippeth <7812>
[it]; he maketh <6213> it a graven <6459> image, and falleth
<5456> down <5456> thereto.



16 He burneth <8313> part <2677> thereof in the fire <0784>;
with part <2677> thereof he eateth <0398> flesh < 1320>; he
roasteth <0740> roast <6748>, and is satisfied < 7646>: yea
<0637>, he warmeth <2552> [himself], and saith < 0559>, Aha
<0253>, I am warm <2552>, I have seen <7200> the fire <0217>:



17 And the residue <7611> thereof he maketh <6213> a god <0410>,
[even] his graven <6459> image: he falleth <5456> down <5456>
unto it, and worshippeth <7812> [it], and prayeth < 6419> unto it,
and saith <0559>, Deliver <5337> me; for thou [art] my god
<0410>.



18 They have not known <3045> nor understood <0995>: for he
hath shut <2902> their eyes <5869>, that they cannot see <7200>;
[and] their hearts <3826>, that they cannot understand < 7919>.



19 And none <3808> considereth <7725> in his heart <3820>,
neither <3808> [is there] knowledge <1847> nor < 3808>
understanding <8394> to say <0559>, I have burned < 8314> part
<2677> of it in the fire <0784>; yea <0637>, also <0637> I have
baked <0644> bread <3899> upon the coals <1513> thereof; I have
roasted <6740> flesh <1320>, and eaten <0398> [it]: and shall I
make <6213> the residue <3499> thereof an abomination <8441>?
shall I fall <5456> down <5456> to the stock < 0944> of a tree
<6086>?



20 He feedeth <7462> on ashes <0665>: a deceived < 2048> heart
<3820> hath turned <5186> him aside <5186>, that he cannot
<3808> deliver <5337> his soul <5315>, nor < 3808> say <0559>,
[Is there] not a lie <3576> in my right <3225> hand <3225>?



21. Remember <2142> these <0428>, O Jacob < 3290> and Israel
<3478>; for thou [art] my servant <5650>: I have formed <3335>
thee; thou [art] my servant <5650>: O Israel <3478>, thou shalt
not be forgotten <5382> of me.



22 I have blotted <4229> out, as a thick cloud <5645> , thy
transgressions <6588>, and, as a cloud <6051>, thy sins <2403>:
return <7725> unto me; for I have redeemed <1350> thee.



23 Sing <7442>, O ye heavens <8064>; for the LORD <3068> hath
done <6213> [it]: shout <7321>, ye lower <8482> parts of the
earth <0776>: break <6476> forth into singing < 7440>, ye
mountains <2022>, O forest <3293>, and every < 3605> tree <6086>
therein: for the LORD <3068> hath redeemed <1350> Jacob <3290>,
and glorified <6286> himself in Israel <3478>.



24 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, thy redeemer
<1350>, and he that formed <3335> thee from the womb <0990>, I
[am] the LORD <3068> that maketh <6213> all < 3605> [things];
that stretcheth <5186> forth the heavens <8064> alone <0905>;
that spreadeth <7554> abroad <7554> the earth < 0776> by myself;



25 That frustrateth <6565> the tokens <0226> of the liars
<0907>, and maketh diviners <7080> mad <1984>; that turneth
<7725> wise <2450> [men] backward <0268>, and maketh their
knowledge <1847> foolish <5528>;



26 That confirmeth <6965> the word <1697> of his servant <5650>,
and performeth <7999> the counsel <6098> of his messengers
<4397>; that saith <0559> to Jerusalem <3389>, Thou shalt be
inhabited <3427>; and to the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, Ye
shall be built <1129>, and I will raise <6965> up the decayed
<2723> places thereof:



27 That saith <0559> to the deep <6683>, Be dry < 2717>, and I
will dry <3001> up thy rivers <5103>:



28 That saith <0559> of Cyrus <3566>, [He is] my shepherd
<7462>, and shall perform <7999> all <3605> my pleasure <2656>:
even saying <0559> to Jerusalem <3389>, Thou shalt be built
<1129>; and to the temple <1964>, Thy foundation < 3245> shall be
laid.



Isaiah 45



1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> to his anointed
<4899>, to Cyrus <3566>, whose <0834> right < 3225> hand <3225> I
have holden <2388>, to subdue <7286> nations < 1471> before
<6440> him; and I will loose <6605> the loins < 4975> of kings
<4428>, to open <6605> before <6440> him the two leaved <1817>
gates <1817>; and the gates <8179> shall not be shut <5462>;



2 I will go <3212> before <6440> thee, and make the crooked
<1921> places straight <3474>: I will break < 7665> in pieces the
gates <1817> of brass <5154>, and cut <1438> in sunder the bars
<1280> of iron <1270>:



3 And I will give <5414> thee the treasures <0214> of darkness
<2822>, and hidden <4301> riches <4301> of secret <4565> places,
that thou mayest know <3045> that I, the LORD <3068>, which call
<7121> [thee] by thy name <8034>, [am] the God < 0430> of Israel
<3478>.



4 For Jacob <3290> my servant's <5650> sake < 4616>, and Israel
<3478> mine elect <0972>, I have even called < 7121> thee by thy
name <8034>: I have surnamed <3655> thee, though thou hast not
known <3045> me.



5. I [am] the LORD <3068>, and [there is] none <0369> else
<5750>, [there is] no <0369> God <0430> beside <2108> me: I
girded <0247> thee, though thou hast not known <3045> me:



6 That they may know <3045> from the rising <4217> of the sun
<8121>, and from the west <4628>, that [there is] none <0657>
beside <1107> me. I [am] the LORD <3068>, and [there is] none
<0369> else <5750>.



7 I form <3335> the light <0216>, and create < 1254> darkness
<2822>: I make <6213> peace <7965>, and create <1254> evil
<7451>: I the LORD <3068> do <6213> all these <0428> [things].



8 Drop <7491> down, ye heavens <8064>, from above <4605>, and
let the skies <7834> pour <5140> down righteousness <6664>: let
the earth <0776> open <6605>, and let them bring < 6509> forth
<6509> salvation <3468>, and let righteousness < 6666> spring
<6779> up together <3162>; I the LORD <3068> have created <1254>
it.



9 Woe <1945> unto him that striveth <7378> with his Maker
<3335>! [Let] the potsherd <2789> [strive] with the potsherds
<2789> of the earth <0127>. Shall the clay < 2563> say <0559> to
him that fashioneth <3335> it, What <4100> makest < 6213> thou?
or thy work <6467>, He hath no <0369> hands < 3027>?



10 Woe <1945> unto him that saith <0559> unto [his] father <1>,
What <4100> begettest <3205> thou? or to the woman <0802>, What
<4100> hast thou brought <2342> forth <2342>?



11. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the Holy <6918>
One of Israel <3478>, and his Maker <3335>, Ask < 7592> me of
things to come <0857> concerning <5921> my sons < 1121>, and
concerning <5921> the work <6467> of my hands < 3027> command
<6680> ye me.



12 I have made <6213> the earth <0776>, and created <1254> man
<0120> upon it: I, [even] my hands <3027>, have stretched <5186>
out the heavens <8064>, and all <3605> their host < 6635> have I
commanded <6680>.



13 I have raised <5782> him up in righteousness < 6664>, and I
will direct <3474> all <3605> his ways <1870>: he shall build
<1129> my city <5892>, and he shall let go < 7971> my captives
<1546>, not for price <4242> nor <3808> reward <7810>, saith
<0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.



14 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, The labour <3018>
of Egypt <4714>, and merchandise <5505> of Ethiopia <3568> and
of the Sabeans <5436>, men <0582> of stature < 4060>, shall come
<5674> over <5674> unto thee, and they shall be thine: they
shall come <3212> after <0310> thee; in chains < 2131> they shall
come <5674> over <5674>, and they shall fall < 7812> down <7812>
unto thee, they shall make supplication <6419> unto thee,
[saying], Surely <0389> God <0410> [is] in thee; and [there is]
none <0369> else <5750>, [there is] no <0657> God <0430>.



15 Verily <0403> thou [art] a God <0410> that hidest <5641>
thyself, O God <0430> of Israel <3478>, the Saviour <3467>.



16 They shall be ashamed <0954>, and also <1571> confounded
<3637>, all <3605> of them: they shall go <1980> to confusion
<3639> together <3162> [that are] makers <2796> of idols <6736>.



17 [But] Israel <3478> shall be saved <3467> in the LORD <3068>
with an everlasting <5769> salvation <8668>: ye shall not be
ashamed <0954> nor <3808> confounded <3637> world <5769> without
end.



18 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> that created
<1254> the heavens <8064>; God <0430> himself <1931> that formed
<3335> the earth <0776> and made <6213> it; he hath established
<3559> it, he created <1254> it not in vain < 8414>, he formed
<3335> it to be inhabited <3427>: I [am] the LORD < 3068>; and
[there is] none <0369> else <5750>.



19 I have not spoken <1696> in secret <5643>, in a dark <2822>
place <4725> of the earth <0776>: I said <0559> not unto the
seed <2233> of Jacob <3290>, Seek <1245> ye me in vain <8414>: I
the LORD <3068> speak <1696> righteousness < 6664>, I declare
<5046> things that are right <4339>.



20. Assemble <6908> yourselves and come <0935>; draw near
<5066> together <3162>, ye [that are] escaped < 6412> of the
nations <1471>: they have no <3808> knowledge < 3045> that set
<5375> up the wood <6086> of their graven <6459> image, and pray
<6419> unto a god <0410> [that] cannot <3808> save <3467>.



21 Tell <5046> ye, and bring <5066> [them] near < 5066>; yea
<0637>, let them take counsel <3289> together < 3162>: who <4310>
hath declared <5046> this <2063> from ancient < 6924> time? [who]
hath told <5046> it from that time <0227>? [have] not I the LORD
<3068>? and [there is] no <0369> God <0430> else <5750> beside
<1107> me; a just <6662> God <0410> and a Saviour <3467>; [there
is] none <0369> beside <2108> me.



22 Look <6437> unto me, and be ye saved <3467>, all the ends
<0657> of the earth <0776>: for I [am] God < 0410>, and [there
is] none <0369> else <5750>.



23 I have sworn <7650> by myself, the word <1697> is gone
<3318> out of my mouth <6310> [in] righteousness < 6666>, and
shall not return <7725>, That unto me every <3605> knee <1290>
shall bow <3766>, every <3605> tongue <3956> shall swear <7650>.



24 Surely, shall [one] say <0559>, in the LORD <3068> have I
righteousness <6666> and strength <5797>: [even] to him shall
[men] come <0935>; and all <3605> that are incensed <2734>
against him shall be ashamed <0954>.



25 In the LORD <3068> shall all <3605> the seed < 2233> of
Israel <3478> be justified <6663>, and shall glory <1984>.



Isaiah 46



1. Bel <1078> boweth <3766> down <3766>, Nebo <5015> stoopeth
<7164>, their idols <6091> were upon the beasts < 2416>, and upon
the cattle <0929>: your carriages <5385> [were] heavy loaden
<6006>; [they are] a burden <4853> to the weary < 5889> [beast].



2 They stoop <7164>, they bow <3766> down < 3766> together
<3162>; they could <3201> not deliver <4422> the burden <4853>,
but themselves <5315> are gone <1980> into captivity <7628>.



3 Hearken <8085> unto me, O house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, and
all <3605> the remnant <7611> of the house < 1004> of Israel
<3478>, which are borne <6006> [by me] from the belly <0990>,
which are carried <5375> from the womb <7356>:



4 And [even] to [your] old <2209> age <2209> I [am] he; and
[even] to hoar <7872> hairs will I carry <5445> [you]: I have
made <6213>, and I will bear <5375>; even I will carry <5445>,
and will deliver <4422> [you].



5. To whom <4310> will ye liken <1819> me, and make [me] equal
<7737>, and compare <4911> me, that we may be like <1819>?



6 They lavish <2107> gold <2091> out of the bag < 3599>, and
weigh <8254> silver <3701> in the balance <7070> , [and] hire
<7936> a goldsmith <6884>; and he maketh <6213> it a god <0410>:
they fall <5456> down <5456>, yea <0637>, they worship <7812>.



7 They bear <5375> him upon the shoulder <3802>, they carry
<5445> him, and set <3240> him in his place < 8478>, and he
standeth <5975>; from his place <4725> shall he not remove
<4185>: yea <0637>, [one] shall cry <6817> unto him, yet can he
not answer <6030>, nor <3808> save <3467> him out of his trouble
<6869>.



8 Remember <2142> this <2063>, and shew yourselves men <0376>:
bring <7725> [it] again <7725> to mind <3820>, O ye
transgressors <6586>.



9 Remember <2142> the former <7223> things of old <5769>: for I
[am] God <0410>, and [there is] none <0369> else < 5750>; [I am]
God <0430>, and [there is] none <0657> like < 3644> me,



10 Declaring <5046> the end <0319> from the beginning <7225>,
and from ancient <6924> times [the things] that are not [yet]
done <6213>, saying <0559>, My counsel <6098> shall stand <6965>,
and I will do <6213> all <3605> my pleasure < 2656>:



11 Calling <7121> a ravenous <5861> bird <5861> from the east
<4217>, the man <0376> that executeth my counsel < 6098> from a
far <4801> country <0776>: yea <0637>, I have spoken <1696> [it],
I will also <0637> bring <0935> it to pass; I have purposed
<3335> [it], I will also <0637> do <6213> it.



12 Hearken <8085> unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far
<7350> from righteousness <6666>:



13 I bring <7126> near <7126> my righteousness < 6666>; it shall
not be far <7368> off, and my salvation <8668> shall not tarry
<0309>: and I will place <5414> salvation <8668> in Zion <6726>
for Israel <3478> my glory <8597>.



Isaiah 47



1. Come <3381> down <3381>, and sit <3427> in the dust <6083>,
O virgin <1330> daughter <1323> of Babylon < 0894>, sit <3427> on
<5921> the ground <0776>: [there is] no <0369> throne <3678>, O
daughter <1323> of the Chaldeans <3778>: for thou shalt no
<3808> more <3254> be called <7121> tender < 7390> and delicate
<6028>.



2 Take <3947> the millstones <7347>, and grind < 2912> meal
<7058>: uncover <1540> thy locks <6777>, make bare <2834> the
leg <7640>, uncover <1540> the thigh <7785>, pass <5674> over
<5674> the rivers <5103>.



3 Thy nakedness <6172> shall be uncovered <1540>, yea <1571>,
thy shame <2781> shall be seen <7200>: I will take <3947>
vengeance <5359>, and I will not meet <6293> [thee as] a man
<0120>.



4 [As for] our redeemer <1350>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>
[is] his name <8034>, the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>.



5 Sit <3427> thou silent <1748>, and get <0935> thee into
darkness <2822>, O daughter <1323> of the Chaldeans <3778>: for
thou shalt no <3808> more <3254> be called < 7121>, The lady
<1404> of kingdoms <4467>.



6 I was wroth <7107> with my people <5971>, I have polluted
<2490> mine inheritance <5159>, and given <5414> them into thine
hand <3027>: thou didst shew <7760> them no < 3808> mercy <7356>;
upon the ancient <2204> hast thou very <3966> heavily <3513>
laid thy yoke <5923>.



7. And thou saidst <0559>, I shall be a lady <1404> for ever
<5769>: [so <5704>] that thou didst not lay < 7760> these <0428>
[things] to thy heart <3820>, neither <3808> didst remember
<2142> the latter <0319> end of it.



8 Therefore hear <8085> now <6258> this <2063>, [thou that art]
given to pleasures <5719>, that dwellest <3427> carelessly
<0983>, that sayest <0559> in thine heart <3824> , I [am], and
none <0657> else <5750> beside <0657> me; I shall not sit <3427>
[as] a widow <0490>, neither <3808> shall I know < 3045> the loss
<7921> of children:



9 But these <0428> two <8147> [things] shall come <0935> to
thee in a moment <7281> in one <0259> day <3117> , the loss
<7921> of children, and widowhood <0489>: they shall come <0935>
upon thee in their perfection <8537> for the multitude < 7230> of
thy sorceries <3785>, [and] for the great <3966> abundance
<6109> of thine enchantments <2267>.



10 For thou hast trusted <0982> in thy wickedness < 7451>: thou
hast said <0559>, None <0369> seeth <7200> me. Thy wisdom <2451>
and thy knowledge <1847>, it hath perverted <7725> thee; and
thou hast said <0559> in thine heart <3820>, I [am], and none
<0657> else <5750> beside <0657> me.



11 Therefore shall evil <7451> come <0935> upon thee; thou
shalt not know <3045> from whence <0370> it riseth <7837>: and
mischief <1943> shall fall <5307> upon thee; thou shalt not be
able <3201> to put <3722> it off: and desolation < 7722> shall
come <0935> upon thee suddenly <6597>, [which] thou shalt not
know <3045>.



12 Stand <5975> now <4994> with thine enchantments <2267>, and
with the multitude <7230> of thy sorceries <3785>, wherein
<0834> thou hast laboured <3021> from thy youth < 5271>; if
<0194> so be thou shalt be able <3201> to profit < 3276>, if
<0194> so be thou mayest prevail <6206>.



13 Thou art wearied <3811> in the multitude <7230> of thy
counsels <6098>. Let now <4994> the astrologers < 1895>, the
stargazers, the monthly <2320> prognosticators <3045>, stand
<5975> up, and save <3467> thee from [these things] that shall
come <0935> upon thee.



14 Behold <2009>, they shall be as stubble <7179>; the fire
<0784> shall burn <8313> them; they shall not deliver <5337>
themselves <5315> from the power <3027> of the flame <3852>:
[there shall] not [be] a coal <1513> to warm <2552> at, [nor]
fire <0217> to sit <3427> before <5048> it.



15 Thus <3651> shall they be unto thee with whom < 0834> thou
hast laboured <3021>, [even] thy merchants <5503>, from thy
youth <5271>: they shall wander <8582> every < 0376> one <0376>
to his quarter <5676>; none <0369> shall save < 3467> thee.



Isaiah 48



1. Hear <8085> ye this <2063>, O house <1004> of Jacob <3290>,
which are called <7121> by the name <8034> of Israel <3478>, and
are come <3318> forth <3318> out of the waters < 4325> of Judah
<3063>, which swear <7650> by the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>,
and make mention <2142> of the God <0430> of Israel <3478>,
[but] not in truth <0571>, nor <3808> in righteousness <6666>.



2 For they call <7121> themselves of the holy <6944> city
<5892>, and stay <5564> themselves upon the God < 0430> of Israel
<3478>; The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>.



3 I have declared <5046> the former <7223> things from the
beginning <0227>; and they went <3318> forth < 3318> out of my
mouth <6310>, and I shewed <8085> them; I did < 6213> [them]
suddenly <6597>, and they came <0935> to pass.



4 Because I knew <1847> that thou [art] obstinate < 7186>, and
thy neck <6203> [is] an iron <1270> sinew <1517> , and thy brow
<4696> brass <5154>;



5 I have even from the beginning <0227> declared < 5046> [it] to
thee; before <2962> it came <0935> to pass I shewed <8085> [it]
thee: lest <6435> thou shouldest say <0559>, Mine idol <6090>
hath done <6213> them, and my graven <6459> image, and my molten
<5262> image, hath commanded <6680> them.



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



7 They are created <1254> now <6258>, and not from the
beginning <0227>; even before <6440> the day < 3117> when thou
heardest <8085> them not; lest <6435> thou shouldest say <0559>,
Behold <2009>, I knew <3045> them.



8 Yea <1571>, thou heardest <8085> not; yea < 1571>, thou
knewest <3045> not; yea <1571>, from that time < 0227> [that]
thine ear <0241> was not opened <6605>: for I knew <3045> that
thou wouldest deal very <0898> treacherously <0898>, and wast
called <7121> a transgressor <6586> from the womb < 0990>.



9. For my name's <8034> sake <4616> will I defer < 0748> mine
anger <0639>, and for my praise <8416> will I refrain <2413> for
thee, that I cut <3772> thee not off.



10 Behold <2009>, I have refined <6884> thee, but not with
silver <3701>; I have chosen <0977> thee in the furnace <3564>
of affliction <6040>.



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



12 Hearken <8085> unto me, O Jacob <3290> and Israel <3478>, my
called <7121>; I [am] he; I [am] the first <7223>, I also <0637>
[am] the last <0314>.



13 Mine hand <3027> also <0637> hath laid the foundation <3245>
of the earth <0776>, and my right <3225> hand < 3225> hath
spanned <2946> the heavens <8064>: [when] I call < 7121> unto
them, they stand <5975> up together <3162>.



14 All <3605> ye, assemble <6908> yourselves, and hear <8085>;
which <4310> among them hath declared <5046> these <0428>
[things]? The LORD <3068> hath loved <0157> him: he will do
<6213> his pleasure <2656> on Babylon <0894>, and his arm <2220>
[shall be on] the Chaldeans <3778>.



15 I, [even] I, have spoken <1696>; yea <0637>, I have called
<7121> him: I have brought <0935> him, and he shall make his way
<1870> prosperous <6743>.



16. Come <7126> ye near <7126> unto me, hear < 8085> ye this
<2063>; I have not spoken <1696> in secret < 5643> from the
beginning <7218>; from the time <6256> that it was, there <8033>
[am] I: and now <6258> the Lord <0136> GOD < 3069>, and his
Spirit <7307>, hath sent <7971> me.



17 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, thy Redeemer
<1350>, the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>; I [am] the LORD
<3068> thy God <0430> which teacheth <3925> thee to profit
<3276>, which leadeth <1869> thee by the way < 1870> [that] thou
shouldest go <3212>.



18 O that thou hadst hearkened <7181> to my commandments <4687>!
then had thy peace <7965> been <1961> as a river < 5104>, and
thy righteousness <6666> as the waves <1530> of the sea <3220>:



19 Thy seed <2233> also had been <1961> as the sand <2344>, and
the offspring <6631> of thy bowels <4578> like the gravel <4579>
thereof; his name <8034> should not have been cut < 3772> off nor
<3808> destroyed <8045> from before <6440> me.



20 Go <3318> ye forth <3318> of Babylon <0894>, flee <1272> ye
from the Chaldeans <3778>, with a voice <6963> of singing <7440>
declare <5046> ye, tell <8085> this <2063>, utter <3318> it
[even] to the end <7097> of the earth <0776>; say < 0559> ye, The
LORD <3068> hath redeemed <1350> his servant < 5650> Jacob <3290>.



21 And they thirsted <6770> not [when] he led <3212> them
through the deserts <2723>: he caused the waters < 4325> to flow
<5140> out of the rock <6697> for them: he clave < 1234> the rock
<6697> also, and the waters <4325> gushed <2100> out.



22 [There is] no <0369> peace <7965>, saith < 0559> the LORD
<3068>, unto the wicked <7563>.



Isaiah 49



1. Listen <8085>, O isles <0339>, unto me; and hearken <7181>,
ye people <3816>, from far <7350>; The LORD < 3068> hath called
<7121> me from the womb <0990>; from the bowels < 4578> of my
mother <0517> hath he made mention <2142> of my name <8034>.



2 And he hath made <7760> my mouth <6310> like a sharp <2299>
sword <2719>; in the shadow <6738> of his hand < 3027> hath he
hid <2244> me, and made <7760> me a polished < 1305> shaft <2671>;
in his quiver <0827> hath he hid <5641> me;



3 And said <0559> unto me, Thou [art] my servant < 5650>, O
Israel <3478>, in whom <0834> I will be glorified < 6286>.



4 Then I said <0559>, I have laboured <3021> in vain <7385>, I
have spent <3615> my strength <3581> for nought < 8414>, and in
vain <1892>: [yet] surely <0403> my judgment < 4941> [is] with
the LORD <3068>, and my work <6468> with my God < 0430>.



5 And now <6258>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068> that formed
<3335> me from the womb <0990> [to be] his servant <5650>, to
bring <7725> Jacob <3290> again <7725> to him, Though Israel
<3478> be not gathered <0622>, yet shall I be glorious <3513> in
the eyes <5869> of the LORD <3068>, and my God < 0430> shall be
my strength <5797>.



6 And he said <0559>, It is a light <7043> thing that thou
shouldest be my servant <5650> to raise <6965> up the tribes
<7626> of Jacob <3290>, and to restore <7725> the preserved
<5336> of Israel <3478>: I will also give <5414> thee for a
light <0216> to the Gentiles <1471>, that thou mayest be my
salvation <3444> unto the end <7097> of the earth < 0776>.



7. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the Redeemer
<1350> of Israel <3478>, [and] his Holy <6918> One, to him whom
man <5315> despiseth <0960>, to him whom the nation <1471>
abhorreth <8581>, to a servant <5650> of rulers < 4910>, Kings
<4428> shall see <7200> and arise <6965>, princes <8269> also
shall worship <7812>, because <4616> of the LORD < 3068> that is
faithful <0539>, [and] the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>, and
he shall choose <0977> thee.



8 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, In an acceptable
<7522> time <6256> have I heard <6030> thee, and in a day <3117>
of salvation <3444> have I helped <5826> thee: and I will
preserve <5341> thee, and give <5414> thee for a covenant <1285>
of the people <5971>, to establish <6965> the earth <0776>, to
cause to inherit <5157> the desolate <8076> heritages <5159>;



9 That thou mayest say <0559> to the prisoners <0631> , Go
<3318> forth <3318>; to them that [are] in darkness <2822>, Shew
<1540> yourselves. They shall feed <7462> in the ways <1870>,
and their pastures <4830> [shall be] in all <3605> high <8203>
places.



10 They shall not hunger <7456> nor <3808> thirst <6770>;
neither <3808> shall the heat <8273> nor <3808> sun <8121> smite
<5221> them: for he that hath mercy <7355> on them shall lead
<5090> them, even by the springs <4002> of water < 4325> shall he
guide <5095> them.



11 And I will make <7760> all <3605> my mountains <2022> a way
<1870>, and my highways <4546> shall be exalted < 7311>.



12 Behold <2009>, these <0428> shall come < 0935> from far
<7350>: and, lo <2009>, these <0428> from the north <6828> and
from the west <3220>; and these <0428> from the land <0776> of
Sinim <5515>.



13. Sing <7442>, O heavens <8064>; and be joyful < 1523>, O
earth <0776>; and break <6476> forth into singing < 7440>, O
mountains <2022>: for the LORD <3068> hath comforted <5162> his
people <5971>, and will have mercy <7355> upon his afflicted
<6041>.



14 But Zion <6726> said <0559>, The LORD <3068> hath forsaken
<5800> me, and my Lord <0136> hath forgotten < 7913> me.



15 Can a woman <0802> forget <7911> her sucking < 5764> child,
that she should not have compassion <7355> on the son < 1121> of
her womb <0990>? yea <1571>, they may forget < 7911>, yet will I
not forget <7911> thee.



16 Behold <2005>, I have graven <2710> thee upon the palms
<3709> of [my] hands <3709>; thy walls <2346> [are] continually
<8548> before <5048> me.



17 Thy children <1121> shall make haste <4116>; thy destroyers
<2040> and they that made thee waste <2717> shall go <3318>
forth <3318> of thee.



18. Lift <5375> up thine eyes <5869> round < 5439> about, and
behold <7200>: all <3605> these gather <6908> themselves
together, [and] come <0935> to thee. [As] I live < 2416>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, thou shalt surely <3588> clothe <3847>
thee with them all <3605>, as with an ornament <5716>, and bind
<7194> them [on thee], as a bride <3618> [doeth].



19 For thy waste <2723> and thy desolate <8074> places, and the
land <0776> of thy destruction <2035>, shall even < 3588> now
<6258> be too narrow <3334> by reason of the inhabitants <3427>,
and they that swallowed <1104> thee up shall be far < 7368> away.



20 The children <1121> which thou shalt have, after thou hast
lost <7923> the other, shall say <0559> again < 5750> in thine
ears <0241>, The place <4725> [is] too strait < 6862> for me:
give <5066> place <4725> to me that I may dwell < 3427>.



21 Then shalt thou say <0559> in thine heart <3824>, Who <4310>
hath begotten <3205> me these <0428>, seeing I have lost <7908>
my children, and am desolate <1565>, a captive <1473>, and
removing <5493> to and fro? and who <4310> hath brought <1431>
up these <2007>? Behold <2005>, I was left < 7604> alone <0905>;
these <0428>, where <0375> [had] they [been]?



22 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, Behold
<2009>, I will lift <5375> up mine hand <3027> to the Gentiles
<1471>, and set <7311> up my standard <5251> to the people
<5971>: and they shall bring <0935> thy sons < 1121> in [their]
arms <2684>, and thy daughters <1121> shall be carried <5375>
upon [their] shoulders <3802>.



23 And kings <4428> shall be thy nursing <0539> fathers, and
their queens <8282> thy nursing <3243> mothers: they shall bow
<7812> down <7812> to thee with [their] face < 0639> toward the
earth <0776>, and lick <3897> up the dust <6083> of thy feet
<7272>; and thou shalt know <3045> that I [am] the LORD <3068>:
for they shall not be ashamed <0954> that wait <6960> for me.



24. Shall the prey <4455> be taken <3947> from the mighty
<1368>, or the lawful <6662> captive <7628> delivered <4422>?



25 But thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> , Even <1571>
the captives <7628> of the mighty <1368> shall be taken <3947>
away, and the prey <4455> of the terrible <6184> shall be
delivered <4422>: for I will contend <7378> with him that
contendeth <3401> with thee, and I will save <3467> thy children
<1121>.



26 And I will feed <0398> them that oppress <3238> thee with
their own flesh <1320>; and they shall be drunken < 7937> with
their own blood <1818>, as with sweet <6071> wine < 6071>: and
all <3605> flesh <1320> shall know <3045> that I the LORD <3068>
[am] thy Saviour <3467> and thy Redeemer <1350>, the mighty <46>
One of Jacob <3290>.



Isaiah 50



1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Where <0335> [is]
the bill <5612> of your mother's <0517> divorcement <3748>, whom
<0834> I have put <7971> away? or <0176> which <4310> of my
creditors <5383> [is it] to whom <0834> I have sold <4376> you?
Behold <2005>, for your iniquities <5771> have ye sold <4376>
yourselves, and for your transgressions <6588> is your mother
<0517> put <7971> away.



2 Wherefore <4069>, when I came <0935>, [was there] no <0369>
man <0376>? when I called <7121>, [was there] none <0369> to
answer <6030>? Is my hand <3027> shortened < 7114> at all, that
it cannot redeem <6304>? or have I no <0369> power <3581> to
deliver <5337>? behold <2005>, at my rebuke < 1606> I dry <2717>
up the sea <3220>, I make <7760> the rivers < 5103> a wilderness
<4057>: their fish <1710> stinketh <0887>, because [there is] no
<0369> water <4325>, and dieth <4191> for thirst <6772>.



3 I clothe <3847> the heavens <8064> with blackness <6940>, and
I make <7760> sackcloth <8242> their covering < 3682>.



4. The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> hath given <5414> me the tongue
<3956> of the learned <3928>, that I should know < 3045> how to
speak <5790> a word <1697> in season to [him that is] weary
<3287>: he wakeneth <5782> morning <1242> by morning <1242>, he
wakeneth <5782> mine ear <0241> to hear <8085> as the learned
<3928>.



5 The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> hath opened <6605> mine ear <0241>,
and I was not rebellious <4784>, neither <3808> turned <5472>
away back <0268>.



6 I gave <5414> my back <1458> to the smiters < 5221>, and my
cheeks <3895> to them that plucked <4803> off the hair: I hid
<5641> not my face <6440> from shame <3639> and spitting <7536>.



7 For the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will help < 5826> me; therefore
shall I not be confounded <3637>: therefore have I set < 7760> my
face <6440> like a flint <2496>, and I know < 3045> that I shall
not be ashamed <0954>.



8 [He is] near <7138> that justifieth <6663> me; who <4310>
will contend <7378> with me? let us stand <5975> together <3162>:
who <4310> [is] mine adversary? let him come <5066> near <5066>
to me.



9 Behold <2005>, the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will help <5826> me;
who <4310> [is] he [that] shall condemn <7561> me? lo <2005>,
they all <3605> shall wax old <1086> as a garment < 0899>; the
moth <6211> shall eat <0398> them up.



10. Who <4310> [is] among you that feareth <3373> the LORD
<3068>, that obeyeth <8085> the voice <6963> of his servant
<5650>, that walketh <1980> [in] darkness <2825> , and hath no
<0369> light <5051>? let him trust <0982> in the name <8034> of
the LORD <3068>, and stay <8172> upon his God < 0430>.



11 Behold <2005>, all <3605> ye that kindle < 6919> a fire
<0784>, that compass <0247> [yourselves] about with sparks
<2131>: walk <3212> in the light <0217> of your fire <0784>, and
in the sparks <2131> [that] ye have kindled <1197>. This <2063>
shall ye have <1961> of mine hand <3027>; ye shall lie <7901>
down <7901> in sorrow <4620>.



Isaiah 51



1. Hearken <8085> to me, ye that follow <7291> after <0310>
righteousness <6664>, ye that seek <1245> the LORD <3068>: look
<5027> unto the rock <6697> [whence] ye are hewn < 2672>, and to
the hole <4618> of the pit <0953> [whence] ye are digged <5365>.



2 Look <5027> unto Abraham <85> your father <1> , and unto Sarah
<8283> [that] bare <2342> you: for I called < 7121> him alone
<0259>, and blessed <1288> him, and increased < 7235> him.



3 For the LORD <3068> shall comfort <5162> Zion < 6726>: he will
comfort <5162> all <3605> her waste <2723> places; and he will
make <7760> her wilderness <4057> like Eden < 5731>, and her
desert <6160> like the garden <1588> of the LORD < 3068>; joy
<8342> and gladness <8057> shall be found <4672> therein,
thanksgiving <8426>, and the voice <6963> of melody <2172>.



4. Hearken <7181> unto me, my people <5971>; and give ear
<0238> unto me, O my nation <3816>: for a law < 8451> shall
proceed <3318> from me, and I will make my judgment < 4941> to
rest <7280> for a light <0216> of the people < 5971>.



5 My righteousness <6664> [is] near <7138>; my salvation <3468>
is gone <3318> forth <3318>, and mine arms < 2220> shall judge
<8199> the people <5971>; the isles <0339> shall wait <6960>
upon me, and on <0413> mine arm <2220> shall they trust <3176>.



6 Lift <5375> up your eyes <5869> to the heavens < 8064>, and
look <5027> upon the earth <0776> beneath <8478> : for the
heavens <8064> shall vanish <4414> away like smoke <6227>, and
the earth <0776> shall wax old <1086> like a garment <0899>, and
they that dwell <3427> therein shall die <4191> in like <3644>
manner <3654>: but my salvation <3444> shall be for ever <5769>,
and my righteousness <6666> shall not be abolished < 2865>.



7 Hearken <8085> unto me, ye that know <3045> righteousness
<6664>, the people <5971> in whose heart <3820> [is] my law
<8451>; fear <3372> ye not the reproach <2781> of men <0582>,
neither <0408> be ye afraid <2865> of their revilings <1421>.



8 For the moth <6211> shall eat <0398> them up like a garment
<0899>, and the worm <5580> shall eat <0398> them like wool
<6785>: but my righteousness <6666> shall be for ever <5769>,
and my salvation <3444> from generation <1755> to generation
<1755>.



9. Awake <5782>, awake <5782>, put <3847> on strength <5797>, O
arm <2220> of the LORD <3068>; awake <5782>, as in the ancient
<6924> days <3117>, in the generations <1755> of old <5769>.
[Art] thou not it that hath cut <2672> Rahab <7294>, [and]
wounded <2490> the dragon <8577>?



10 [Art] thou not it which hath dried <2717> the sea < 3220>,
the waters <4325> of the great <7227> deep < 8415>; that hath
made <7760> the depths <4615> of the sea <3220> a way <1870> for
the ransomed <1350> to pass <5674> over <5674>?



11 Therefore the redeemed <6299> of the LORD <3068> shall
return <7725>, and come <0935> with singing < 7440> unto Zion
<6726>; and everlasting <5769> joy <8057> [shall be] upon their
head <7218>: they shall obtain <5381> gladness < 8057> and joy
<8057>; [and] sorrow <3015> and mourning <0585> shall flee
<5127> away.



12 I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth <5162> you: who <4310>
[art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid <3372> of a man <0582>
[that] shall die <4191>, and of the son <1121> of man <0120>
[which] shall be made <5414> [as] grass <2682>;



13 And forgettest <7911> the LORD <3068> thy maker <6213>, that
hath stretched <5186> forth the heavens <8064>, and laid the
foundations <3245> of the earth <0776>; and hast feared <6342>
continually <8548> every <3605> day <3117> because <6440> of the
fury <2534> of the oppressor <6693>, as if he were ready <3559>
to destroy <7843>? and where <0346> [is] the fury < 2534> of the
oppressor <6693>?



14 The captive <6808> exile <6808> hasteneth < 4116> that he may
be loosed <6605>, and that he should not die <4191> in the pit
<7845>, nor <3808> that his bread <3899> should fail <2637>.



15 But I [am] the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, that divided
<7280> the sea <3220>, whose waves <1530> roared <1993>: The
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034> .



16 And I have put <7760> my words <1697> in thy mouth <6310>,
and I have covered <3680> thee in the shadow <6738> of mine hand
<3027>, that I may plant <5193> the heavens < 8064>, and lay the
foundations <3245> of the earth <0776>, and say < 0559> unto Zion
<6726>, Thou [art] my people <5971>.



17. Awake <5782>, awake <5782>, stand <6965> up, O Jerusalem
<3389>, which <0834> hast drunk <8354> at the hand <3027> of the
LORD <3068> the cup <3563> of his fury <2534>; thou hast drunken
<8354> the dregs <6907> of the cup <3563> of trembling <8653>,
[and] wrung <4680> [them] out.



18 [There is] none <0369> to guide <5095> her among all <3605>
the sons <1121> [whom] she hath brought <3205> forth <3205>;
neither <0369> [is there any] that taketh <2388> her by the hand
<3027> of all <3605> the sons <1121> [that] she hath brought
<1431> up.



19 These <2007> two <8147> [things] are come < 7122> unto thee;
who <4310> shall be sorry <5110> for thee? desolation <7701>,
and destruction <7667>, and the famine <7458>, and the sword
<2719>: by whom <4310> shall I comfort <5162> thee?



20 Thy sons <1121> have fainted <5968>, they lie < 7901> at the
head <7218> of all <3605> the streets <2351>, as a wild <8377>
bull <8377> in a net <4364>: they are full < 4392> of the fury
<2534> of the LORD <3068>, the rebuke <1606> of thy God <0430>.



21 Therefore <3651> hear <8085> now <4994> this <2063>, thou
afflicted <6041>, and drunken <7937>, but not with wine <3196>:



22 Thus <3541> saith <0559> thy Lord <0113> the LORD <3068>,
and thy God <0430> [that] pleadeth <7378> the cause of his
people <5971>, Behold <2009>, I have taken < 3947> out of thine
hand <3027> the cup <3563> of trembling <8653>, [even] the dregs
<6907> of the cup <3563> of my fury <2534>; thou shalt no <3808>
more <3254> drink <8354> it again <5750>:



23 But I will put <7760> it into the hand <3027> of them that
afflict <3013> thee; which <0834> have said < 0559> to thy soul
<5315>, Bow <7812> down <7812>, that we may go <5674> over
<5674>: and thou hast laid <7760> thy body < 1460> as the ground
<0776>, and as the street <2351>, to them that went <5674> over
<5674>.



Isaiah 52



1. Awake <5782>, awake <5782>; put <3847> on thy strength
<5797>, O Zion <6726>; put <3847> on thy beautiful <8597>
garments <0899>, O Jerusalem <3389>, the holy < 6944> city <5892>:
for henceforth <6258> there shall no <3808> more come <0935>
into thee the uncircumcised <6189> and the unclean < 2931>.



2 Shake <5287> thyself from the dust <6083>; arise <6965>,
[and] sit <3427> down, O Jerusalem <3389>: loose < 6605> thyself
from the bands <4147> of thy neck <6677>, O captive <7628>
daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>.



3 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Ye have sold
<4376> yourselves for nought <2600>; and ye shall be redeemed
<1350> without <3808> money <3701>.



4 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, My
people <5971> went <3381> down <3381> aforetime <7223> into
Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>; and the Assyrian
<0804> oppressed <6231> them without <0657> cause <0657>.



5 Now <6258> therefore, what <4100> have I here < 6311>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>, that my people <5971> is taken <3947>
away for nought <2600>? they that rule <4910> over them make
them to howl <3213>, saith <5002> the LORD < 3068>; and my name
<8034> continually <8548> every <3605> day < 3117> [is]
blasphemed <5006>.



6 Therefore <3651> my people <5971> shall know < 3045> my name
<8034>: therefore <3651> [they shall know] in that day <3117>
that I [am] he that doth speak <1696>: behold <2009>, [it is] I.



7. How <4100> beautiful <4998> upon the mountains <2022> are
the feet <7272> of him that bringeth <1319> good < 2896> tidings
<1319>, that publisheth <8085> peace <7965>; that bringeth
<1319> good <2896> tidings <1319> of good < 2896>, that
publisheth <8085> salvation <3444>; that saith < 0559> unto Zion
<6726>, Thy God <0430> reigneth <4427>!



8 Thy watchmen <6822> shall lift <5375> up the voice <6963>;
with the voice <6963> together <3162> shall they sing <7442>:
for they shall see <7200> eye <5869> to eye < 5869>, when the
LORD <3068> shall bring <7725> again <7725> Zion <6726>.



9 Break <6476> forth into joy, sing <7442> together <3162>, ye
waste <2723> places of Jerusalem <3389>: for the LORD <3068>
hath comforted <5162> his people <5971>, he hath redeemed <1350>
Jerusalem <3389>.



10 The LORD <3068> hath made bare <2834> his holy <6944> arm
<2220> in the eyes <5869> of all <3605> the nations <1471>; and
all <3605> the ends <0657> of the earth <0776> shall see <7200>
the salvation <3444> of our God <0430>.



11 Depart <5493> ye, depart <5493> ye, go < 3318> ye out from
thence <8033>, touch <5060> no <0408> unclean <2931> [thing]; go
<3318> ye out of the midst <8432> of her; be ye clean <1305>,
that bear <5375> the vessels <3627> of the LORD < 3068>.



12 For ye shall not go <3318> out with haste <2649>, nor <3808>
go <3212> by flight <4499>: for the LORD <3068> will go <1980>
before <6440> you; and the God <0430> of Israel < 3478> [will be]
your rereward <0622>.



13. Behold <2009>, my servant <5650> shall deal prudently
<7919>, he shall be exalted <7311> and extolled < 5375>, and be
very <3966> high <1361>.



14 As many <7227> were astonied <8074> at thee; his visage
<4758> was so marred <4893> more than any man < 0376>, and his
form <8389> more than the sons <1121> of men < 0120>:



15 So <3651> shall he sprinkle <5137> many < 7227> nations
<1471>; the kings <4428> shall shut <7092> their mouths <6310>
at him: for [that] which <0834> had not been told < 5608> them
shall they see <7200>; and [that] which <0834> they had not
heard <8085> shall they consider <0995>.



Isaiah 53



1. Who <4310> hath believed <0539> our report < 8052>? and to
whom <4310> is the arm <2220> of the LORD <3068> revealed <1540>?



2 For he shall grow <5927> up before <6440> him as a tender
<3126> plant, and as a root <8328> out of a dry < 6723> ground
<0776>: he hath no <3808> form <8389> nor < 3808> comeliness
<1926>; and when we shall see <7200> him, [there is] no <3808>
beauty <4758> that we should desire <2530> him.



3 He is despised <0959> and rejected <2310> of men <0376>; a
man <0376> of sorrows <4341>, and acquainted < 3045> with grief
<2483>: and we hid <5641> as it were [our] faces < 6440> from him;
he was despised <0959>, and we esteemed him not.



4. Surely <0403> he hath borne <5375> our griefs < 2483>, and
carried <5445> our sorrows <4341>: yet we did esteem <2803> him
stricken <5060>, smitten <5221> of God <0430>, and afflicted
<6031>.



5 But he [was] wounded <2490> for our transgressions < 6588>,
[he was] bruised <1792> for our iniquities <5771>: the
chastisement <4148> of our peace <7965> [was] upon him; and with
his stripes <2250> we are healed <7495>.



6 All <3605> we like sheep <6629> have gone < 8582> astray
<8582>; we have turned <6437> every <0376> one <0376> to his own
way <1870>; and the LORD <3068> hath laid <6293> on him the
iniquity <5771> of us all <3605>.



7 He was oppressed <5065>, and he was afflicted < 6031>, yet he
opened <6605> not his mouth <6310>: he is brought < 2986> as a
lamb <7716> to the slaughter <2875>, and as a sheep <7353>
before <6440> her shearers <1494> is dumb <0481> , so he openeth
<6605> not his mouth <6310>.



8 He was taken <3947> from prison <6115> and from judgment
<4941>: and who <4310> shall declare <7878> his generation
<1755>? for he was cut <1504> off out of the land < 0776> of the
living <2416>: for the transgression <6588> of my people <5971>
was he stricken <5061>.



9 And he made <5414> his grave <6913> with the wicked <7563>,
and with the rich <6223> in his death <4194>; because <5921> he
had done <6213> no <3808> violence <2555>, neither <3808> [was
any] deceit <4820> in his mouth <6310>.



10. Yet it pleased <2654> the LORD <3068> to bruise <1792> him;
he hath put [him] to grief <2470>: when <0518> thou shalt make
<7760> his soul <5315> an offering for sin < 0817>, he shall see
<7200> [his] seed <2233>, he shall prolong < 0748> [his] days
<3117>, and the pleasure <2656> of the LORD < 3068> shall prosper
<6743> in his hand <3027>.



11 He shall see <7200> of the travail <5999> of his soul <5315>,
[and] shall be satisfied <7646>: by his knowledge < 1847> shall
my righteous <6662> servant <5650> justify < 6663> many <7227>;
for he shall bear <5445> their iniquities <5771>.



12 Therefore <3651> will I divide <5312> him [a portion] with
the great <7227>, and he shall divide <5312> the spoil <7998>
with the strong <6099>; because he hath poured <6168> out his
soul <5315> unto death <4194>: and he was numbered <4487> with
the transgressors <6586>; and he bare <5375> the sin <2399> of
many <7227>, and made intercession <6293> for the transgressors
<6586>.



Isaiah 54



1. Sing <7442>, O barren <6135>, thou [that] didst not bear
<5375>; break <6476> forth into singing <7440>, and cry <6670>
aloud <6670>, thou [that] didst not travail <2342> with child:
for more <7227> [are] the children <1121> of the desolate <8074>
than the children <1121> of the married <1166> wife, saith
<0559> the LORD <3068>.



2 Enlarge <7337> the place <4725> of thy tent < 0168>, and let
them stretch <5186> forth the curtains <3407> of thine
habitations <4908>: spare <2820> not, lengthen < 0748> thy cords
<4340>, and strengthen <2388> thy stakes <3489>;



3 For thou shalt break <6555> forth on the right < 3225> hand
<3225> and on the left <8040>; and thy seed < 2233> shall inherit
<3423> the Gentiles <1471>, and make the desolate < 8077> cities
<5892> to be inhabited <3427>.



4 Fear <3372> not; for thou shalt not be ashamed < 0954>:
neither <0408> be thou confounded <3637>; for thou shalt not be
put to shame <2659>: for thou shalt forget <7911> the shame
<1322> of thy youth <5934>, and shalt not remember <2142> the
reproach <2781> of thy widowhood <0491> any more < 5750>.



5 For thy Maker <6213> [is] thine husband <1167>; the LORD
<3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>; and thy Redeemer
<1350> the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>; The God <0430> of
the whole <3605> earth <0776> shall he be called < 7121>.



6. For the LORD <3068> hath called <7121> thee as a woman
<0802> forsaken <5800> and grieved <6087> in spirit <7307>, and
a wife <0802> of youth <5271>, when <3588> thou wast refused
<3988>, saith <0559> thy God <0430>.



7 For a small <6996> moment <7281> have I forsaken <5800> thee;
but with great <1419> mercies <7356> will I gather <6908> thee.



8 In a little <8241> wrath <7110> I hid <5641> my face <6440>
from thee for a moment <7281>; but with everlasting < 5769>
kindness <2617> will I have mercy <7355> on thee, saith <0559>
the LORD <3068> thy Redeemer <1350>.



9 For this <2063> [is as] the waters <4325> of Noah <5146> unto
me: for [as] I have sworn <7650> that the waters < 4325> of Noah
<5146> should no more <5750> go <5674> over < 5674> the earth
<0776>; so <3651> have I sworn <7650> that I would not be wroth
<7107> with thee, nor rebuke <1605> thee.



10 For the mountains <2022> shall depart <4185>, and the hills
<1389> be removed <4131>; but my kindness <2617> shall not
depart <4185> from thee, neither <3808> shall the covenant
<1285> of my peace <7965> be removed <4131>, saith <0559> the
LORD <3068> that hath mercy <7355> on thee.



11. O thou afflicted <6041>, tossed with tempest < 5590>, [and]
not comforted <5162>, behold <2009>, I will lay < 7257> thy
stones <68> with fair <6320> colours <6320>, and lay thy
foundations <3245> with sapphires <5601>.



12 And I will make <7760> thy windows <8121> of agates <3539>,
and thy gates <8179> of carbuncles <68>, and all < 3605> thy
borders <1366> of pleasant <2656> stones <68>.



13 And all <3605> thy children <1121> [shall be] taught <3928>
of the LORD <3068>; and great <7227> [shall be] the peace <7965>
of thy children <1121>.



14 In righteousness <6666> shalt thou be established < 3559>:
thou shalt be far <7368> from oppression <6233>; for thou shalt
not fear <3372>: and from terror <4288>; for it shall not come
<7126> near <7126> thee.



15 Behold <2005>, they shall surely gather <1481> together,
[but] not by me: whosoever <4310> shall gather <1481> together
against <5921> thee shall fall <5307> for thy sake <4616>.



16 Behold <2005>, I have created <1254> the smith <2796> that
bloweth <5301> the coals <6352> in the fire < 0784>, and that
bringeth <3318> forth <4161> an instrument < 3627> for his work
<4639>; and I have created <1254> the waster < 7843> to destroy
<2254>.



17 No <3808> weapon <3627> that is formed < 3335> against <5921>
thee shall prosper <6743>; and every <3605> tongue <3956> [that]
shall rise <6965> against thee in judgment <4941> thou shalt
condemn <7561>. This <2063> [is] the heritage < 5159> of the
servants <5650> of the LORD <3068>, and their righteousness
<6666> [is] of me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



Isaiah 55



1. Ho <1945>, every <3605> one that thirsteth < 6771>, come
<3212> ye to the waters <4325>, and he that hath no <0369> money
<3701>; come <3212> ye, buy <7666>, and eat < 0398>; yea, come
<3212>, buy <7666> wine <3196> and milk < 2461> without <3808>
money <3701> and without <3808> price <4242>.



2 Wherefore <4100> do ye spend <8254> money < 3701> for [that
which <0834> is] not bread <3899>? and your labour <3018> for
[that which <0834>] satisfieth <7654> not? hearken <8085>
diligently unto me, and eat <0398> ye [that which < 0834> is]
good <2896>, and let your soul <5315> delight < 6026> itself in
fatness <1880>.



3 Incline <5186> your ear <0241>, and come < 3212> unto me: hear
<8085>, and your soul <5315> shall live <2421>; and I will make
<3772> an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285> with you, [even]
the sure <0539> mercies <2617> of David <1732>.



4 Behold <2005>, I have given <5414> him [for] a witness <5707>
to the people <3816>, a leader <5057> and commander <6680> to
the people <3816>.



5 Behold <2005>, thou shalt call <7121> a nation < 1471> [that]
thou knowest <3045> not, and nations <1471> [that] knew <3045>
not thee shall run <7323> unto thee because <4616> of the LORD
<3068> thy God <0430>, and for the Holy <6918> One of Israel
<3478>; for he hath glorified <6286> thee.



6. Seek <1875> ye the LORD <3068> while he may be found <4672>,
call <7121> ye upon him while he is near <7138>:



7 Let the wicked <7563> forsake <5800> his way < 1870>, and the
unrighteous <0205> man <0376> his thoughts < 4284>: and let him
return <7725> unto the LORD <3068>, and he will have mercy
<7355> upon him; and to our God <0430>, for he will abundantly
<7235> pardon <5545>.



8 For my thoughts <4284> [are] not your thoughts < 4284>,
neither <3808> [are] your ways <1870> my ways < 1870>, saith
<5002> the LORD <3068>.



9 For [as] the heavens <8064> are higher <1361> than the earth
<0776>, so <3651> are my ways <1870> higher < 1361> than your
ways <1870>, and my thoughts <4284> than your thoughts <4284>.



10 For as the rain <1653> cometh <3381> down < 3381>, and the
snow <7950> from heaven <8064>, and returneth < 7725> not thither
<8033>, but watereth <7301> the earth <0776>, and maketh it
bring <3205> forth <3205> and bud <6779>, that it may give
<5414> seed <2233> to the sower <2232>, and bread <3899> to the
eater <0398>:



11 So <3651> shall my word <1697> be that goeth < 3318> forth
<3318> out of my mouth <6310>: it shall not return <7725> unto
me void <7387>, but it shall accomplish <6213> that which <0834>
I please <2654>, and it shall prosper <6743> [in the thing]
whereto <0834> I sent <7971> it.



12 For ye shall go <3318> out with joy <8057>, and be led
<2986> forth <2986> with peace <7965>: the mountains <2022> and
the hills <1389> shall break <6476> forth before < 6440> you into
singing <7440>, and all <3605> the trees <6086> of the field
<7704> shall clap <4222> [their] hands <3709>.



13 Instead <8478> of the thorn <5285> shall come < 5927> up the
fir <1265> tree, and instead <8478> of the brier < 5636> shall
come <5927> up the myrtle <1918> tree: and it shall be to the
LORD <3068> for a name <8034>, for an everlasting < 5769> sign
<0226> [that] shall not be cut <3772> off.



Isaiah 56



1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Keep <8104> ye
judgment <4941>, and do <6213> justice <6666>: for my salvation
<3444> [is] near <7138> to come <0935>, and my righteousness
<6666> to be revealed <1540>.



2 Blessed <0835> [is] the man <0582> [that] doeth <6213> this
<2063>, and the son <1121> of man <0120> [that] layeth hold
<2388> on it; that keepeth <8104> the sabbath < 7676> from
polluting <2490> it, and keepeth <8104> his hand < 3027> from
doing <6213> any <3605> evil <7451>.



3. Neither <0408> let the son <1121> of the stranger <5236>,
that hath joined <3867> himself to the LORD <3068>, speak <0559>,
saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> hath utterly separated <0914> me
from his people <5971>: neither <0408> let the eunuch <5631> say
<0559>, Behold <2005>, I [am] a dry <3002> tree <6086>.



4 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto the eunuchs
<5631> that keep <8104> my sabbaths <7676>, and choose <0977>
[the things] that please <2654> me, and take <2388> hold <2388>
of my covenant <1285>;



5 Even unto them will I give <5414> in mine house < 1004> and
within my walls <2346> a place <3027> and a name < 8034> better
<2896> than of sons <1121> and of daughters < 1121>: I will give
<5414> them an everlasting <5769> name <8034>, that shall not be
cut <3772> off.



6 Also the sons <1121> of the stranger <5236>, that join <3867>
themselves to the LORD <3068>, to serve <8334> him, and to love
<0157> the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, to be his servants
<5650>, every <3605> one that keepeth <8104> the sabbath <7676>
from polluting <2490> it, and taketh <2388> hold < 2388> of my
covenant <1285>;



7 Even them will I bring <0935> to my holy <6944> mountain
<2022>, and make them joyful <8055> in my house < 1004> of prayer
<8605>: their burnt <5930> offerings and their sacrifices <2077>
[shall be] accepted <7522> upon mine altar <4196>; for mine
house <1004> shall be called <7121> an house < 1004> of prayer
<8605> for all <3605> people <5971>.



8 The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> which gathereth < 6908> the
outcasts <1760> of Israel <3478> saith <5002>, Yet <5750> will I
gather <6908> [others] to him, beside those that are gathered
<6908> unto him.



9. All <3605> ye beasts <2416> of the field < 7704>, come <0857>
to devour <0398>, [yea], all <3605> ye beasts < 2416> in the
forest <3293>.



10 His watchmen <6822> [are] blind <5787>: they are all <3605>
ignorant, they [are] all <3605> dumb <0483> dogs < 3611>, they
cannot bark <5024>; sleeping <1957>, lying < 7901> down <7901>,
loving <0157> to slumber <5123>.



11 Yea, [they are] greedy dogs <3611> [which] can < 3045> never
<3808> have <3045> enough <7654>, and they [are] shepherds
<7462> [that] cannot understand <0995>: they all < 3605> look
<6437> to their own way <1870>, every <0376> one <0376> for his
gain <1214>, from his quarter <7098>.



12 Come <0857> ye, [say they], I will fetch <3947> wine <3196>,
and we will fill <4390> ourselves with strong drink < 7941>; and
to morrow <4279> shall be as this <2088> day < 3117>, [and] much
<3966> more <3499> abundant <1419>.



Isaiah 57



1. The righteous <6662> perisheth <6>, and no < 0369> man <0376>
layeth <7760> [it] to heart <3820>: and merciful < 2617> men
<0582> [are] taken <0622> away, none <0369> considering <0995>
that the righteous <6662> is taken <0622> away from the evil
<7451> [to come].



2 He shall enter <0935> into peace <7965>: they shall rest
<5117> in their beds <4904>, [each one] walking < 1980> [in] his
uprightness <5228>.



3. But draw near <7126> hither, ye sons <1121> of the sorceress
<6049>, the seed <2233> of the adulterer <5003> and the whore
<2181>.



4 Against <5921> whom <4310> do ye sport <6026> yourselves?
against <5921> whom <4310> make ye a wide <7337> mouth <6310>,
[and] draw <0748> out the tongue <3956>? [are] ye not children
<3206> of transgression <6588>, a seed <2233> of falsehood
<8267>,



5 Enflaming <2552> yourselves with idols <0410> under <8478>
every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086>, slaying <7819> the
children <3206> in the valleys <5158> under < 8478> the clifts
<5585> of the rocks <5553>?



6 Among the smooth <2511> [stones] of the stream < 5158> [is]
thy portion <2506>; they, they [are] thy lot <1486>: even <1571>
to them hast thou poured <8210> a drink <5262> offering, thou
hast offered <5927> a meat offering <4503>. Should I receive
<5162> comfort <5162> in these <0428>?



7 Upon a lofty <1364> and high <5375> mountain < 2022> hast thou
set <7760> thy bed <4904>: even <1571> thither <8033> wentest
<5927> thou up to offer <2076> sacrifice <2077>.



8 Behind <0310> the doors <1817> also and the posts <4201> hast
thou set <7760> up thy remembrance <2146>: for thou hast
discovered <1540> [thyself to another] than me, and art gone
<5927> up; thou hast enlarged <7337> thy bed < 4904>, and made
<3772> thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst < 0157> their
bed <4904> where <3027> thou sawest <2372> [it].



9 And thou wentest <7788> to the king <4428> with ointment
<8081>, and didst increase <7235> thy perfumes < 7547>, and didst
send <7971> thy messengers <6735> far <7350> off, and didst
debase <8213> [thyself even] unto hell <7585>.



10 Thou art wearied <3021> in the greatness <7230> of thy way
<1870>; [yet] saidst <0559> thou not, There is no hope <2976>:
thou hast found <4672> the life <2416> of thine hand <3027>;
therefore thou wast not grieved <2470>.



11 And of whom <4310> hast thou been afraid <1672> or feared
<3372>, that thou hast lied <3576>, and hast not remembered
<2142> me, nor <3808> laid <7760> [it] to thy heart <3820>? have
not I held <2814> my peace <2814> even of old < 5769>, and thou
fearest <3372> me not?



12 I will declare <5046> thy righteousness <6666>, and thy
works <4639>; for they shall not profit <3276> thee.



13. When thou criest <2199>, let thy companies deliver < 5337>
thee; but the wind <7307> shall carry <5375> them all <3605>
away; vanity <1892> shall take <3947> [them]: but he that
putteth his trust <2620> in me shall possess <5157> the land
<0776>, and shall inherit <3423> my holy <6944> mountain <2022>;



14 And shall say <0559>, Cast <5549> ye up, cast < 5549> ye up,
prepare <6437> the way <1870>, take <7311> up the stumblingblock
<4383> out of the way <1870> of my people <5971> .



15 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the high <7311> and lofty
<5375> One that inhabiteth <7931> eternity < 5703>, whose name
<8034> [is] Holy <6918>; I dwell <7931> in the high <4791> and
holy <6918> [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite
<1793> and humble <8217> spirit <7307>, to revive <2421> the
spirit <7307> of the humble <8217>, and to revive < 2421> the
heart <3820> of the contrite <1792> ones.



16 For I will not contend <7378> for ever <5769>, neither
<3808> will I be always <5331> wroth <7107>: for the spirit
<7307> should fail <5848> before <6440> me, and the souls <5397>
[which] I have made <6213>.



17. For the iniquity <5771> of his covetousness < 1215> was I
wroth <7107>, and smote <5221> him: I hid <5641> me, and was
wroth <7107>, and he went <3212> on frowardly < 7726> in the way
<1870> of his heart <3820>.



18 I have seen <7200> his ways <1870>, and will heal <7495> him:
I will lead <5148> him also, and restore <7999> comforts <5150>
unto him and to his mourners <57>.



19 I create <1254> the fruit <5108> of the lips < 8193>; Peace
<7965>, peace <7965> to [him that is] far <7350> off, and to
[him that is] near <7138>, saith <0559> the LORD < 3068>; and I
will heal <7495> him.



20 But the wicked <7563> [are] like the troubled < 1644> sea
<3220>, when <3588> it cannot rest <8252>, whose waters <4325>
cast <1644> up mire <7516> and dirt <2916>.



21 [There is] no <0369> peace <7965>, saith < 0559> my God
<0430>, to the wicked <7563>.



Isaiah 58



1. Cry <7121> aloud <1627>, spare <2820> not, lift <7311> up
thy voice <6963> like a trumpet <7782>, and shew < 5046> my
people <5971> their transgression <6588>, and the house <1004>
of Jacob <3290> their sins <2403>.



2 Yet they seek <1875> me daily <3117>, and delight <2654> to
know <1847> my ways <1870>, as a nation <1471> that did <6213>
righteousness <6666>, and forsook <5800> not the ordinance
<4941> of their God <0430>: they ask <7592> of me the ordinances
<4941> of justice <6664>; they take delight < 2654> in
approaching <7132> to God <0430>.



3. Wherefore <4100> have we fasted <6684>, [say they], and thou
seest <7200> not? [wherefore] have we afflicted <6031> our soul
<5315>, and thou takest no <3808> knowledge < 3045>? Behold
<2005>, in the day <3117> of your fast <6685> ye find <4672>
pleasure <2656>, and exact <5065> all <3605> your labours <6092>.



4 Behold <2005>, ye fast <6684> for strife < 7379> and debate
<4683>, and to smite <5221> with the fist <0106> of wickedness
<7562>: ye shall not fast <6684> as [ye do this] day <3117>, to
make your voice <6963> to be heard <8085> on high < 4791>.



5 Is it such <2088> a fast <6685> that I have chosen <0977>? a
day <3117> for a man <0120> to afflict <6031> his soul <5315>?
[is it] to bow <3721> down his head <7218> as a bulrush <0100>,
and to spread <3331> sackcloth <8242> and ashes < 0665> [under
him]? wilt thou call <7121> this <2088> a fast < 6685>, and an
acceptable <7522> day <3117> to the LORD <3068>?



6 [Is] not this <2088> the fast <6685> that I have chosen
<0977>? to loose <6605> the bands <2784> of wickedness <7562>,
to undo <5425> the heavy <4133> burdens <92>, and to let the
oppressed <7533> go <7971> free <2670>, and that ye break <5423>
every <3605> yoke <4133>?



7 [Is it] not to deal <6536> thy bread <3899> to the hungry
<7456>, and that thou bring <0935> the poor < 6041> that are cast
<4788> out to thy house <1004>? when <3588> thou seest <7200>
the naked <6174>, that thou cover <3680> him; and that thou hide
<5956> not thyself from thine own flesh <1320>?



8. Then <0227> shall thy light <0216> break < 1234> forth as the
morning <7837>, and thine health <0724> shall spring <6779>
forth speedily <4120>: and thy righteousness <6664> shall go
<1980> before <6440> thee; the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068>
shall be thy rereward <0622>.



9 Then <0227> shalt thou call <7121>, and the LORD <3068> shall
answer <6030>; thou shalt cry <7768>, and he shall say <0559>,
Here <2009> I [am]. If thou take <5493> away < 5493> from the
midst <8432> of thee the yoke <4133>, the putting < 7971> forth
<7971> of the finger <0676>, and speaking <1696> vanity <0205>;



10 And [if] thou draw <6329> out thy soul <5315> to the hungry
<7456>, and satisfy <7646> the afflicted <6031> soul <5315>;
then shall thy light <0216> rise <2224> in obscurity <2822>, and
thy darkness <0653> [be] as the noonday <6672>:



11 And the LORD <3068> shall guide <5148> thee continually
<8548>, and satisfy <7646> thy soul <5315> in drought <6710>,
and make fat <2502> thy bones <6106>: and thou shalt be like a
watered <7302> garden <1588>, and like a spring < 4161> of water
<4325>, whose <0834> waters <4325> fail < 3576> not.



12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build <1129> the old
<5769> waste <2723> places: thou shalt raise < 6965> up the
foundations <4146> of many generations <1755>; and thou shalt be
called <7121>, The repairer <1443> of the breach < 6556>, The
restorer <7725> of paths <5410> to dwell <3427> in.



13. If <0518> thou turn <7725> away thy foot < 7272> from the
sabbath <7676>, [from] doing <6213> thy pleasure < 2656> on my
holy <6944> day <3117>; and call <7121> the sabbath <7676> a
delight <6027>, the holy <6918> of the LORD < 3068>, honourable
<3513>; and shalt honour <3513> him, not doing < 6213> thine own
ways <1870>, nor finding <4672> thine own pleasure <2656>, nor
speaking <1696> [thine own] words <1697>:



14 Then <0227> shalt thou delight <6026> thyself in the LORD
<3068>; and I will cause thee to ride <7392> upon the high
<1116> places of the earth <0776>, and feed < 0398> thee with the
heritage <5159> of Jacob <3290> thy father <1>: for the mouth
<6310> of the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696> [it].



Isaiah 59



1. Behold <2005>, the LORD'S <3068> hand <3027> is not
shortened <7114>, that it cannot <3808> save < 3467>; neither
<3808> his ear <0241> heavy <3513>, that it cannot <3808> hear
<8085>:



2 But your iniquities <5771> have separated <0914> between
<0996> you and your God <0430>, and your sins < 2403> have hid
<5641> [his] face <6440> from you, that he will not hear <8085>.



3 For your hands <3709> are defiled <1351> with blood <1818>,
and your fingers <0676> with iniquity <5771>; your lips <8193>
have spoken <1696> lies <8267>, your tongue < 3956> hath muttered
<1897> perverseness <5766>.



4 None <0369> calleth <7121> for justice <6664> , nor <0369>
[any] pleadeth <8199> for truth <0530>: they trust <0982> in
vanity <8414>, and speak <1696> lies <7723>; they conceive
<2029> mischief <5999>, and bring <3205> forth <3205> iniquity
<0205>.



5 They hatch <1234> cockatrice <6848>' eggs < 1000>, and weave
<0707> the spider's <5908> web <6980>: he that eateth <0398> of
their eggs <1000> dieth <4191>, and that which is crushed <2116>
breaketh <1234> out into a viper <0660>.



6 Their webs <6980> shall not become <1961> garments <0899>,
neither <3808> shall they cover <3680> themselves with their
works <4639>: their works <4639> [are] works < 4639> of iniquity
<0205>, and the act <6467> of violence <2555> [is] in their
hands <3709>.



7 Their feet <7272> run <7323> to evil <7451>, and they make
haste <4116> to shed <8210> innocent <5355> blood <1818>: their
thoughts <4284> [are] thoughts <4284> of iniquity < 0205>;
wasting <7701> and destruction <7667> [are] in their paths
<4546>.



8 The way <1870> of peace <7965> they know < 3045> not; and
[there is] no <0369> judgment <4941> in their goings <4570>:
they have made them crooked <6140> paths <5410>: whosoever
<3605> goeth <1869> therein shall not know < 3045> peace <7965>.



9. Therefore is judgment <4941> far <7368> from us, neither
<3808> doth justice <6666> overtake <5381> us: we wait <6960>
for light <0216>, but behold <2009> obscurity < 2822>; for
brightness <5054>, [but] we walk <1980> in darkness <0653>.



10 We grope <1659> for the wall <7023> like the blind <5787>,
and we grope <1659> as if [we had] no <0369> eyes < 5869>: we
stumble <3782> at noonday <6672> as in the night < 5399>; [we
are] in desolate <0820> places as dead <4191> [men].



11 We roar <1993> all <3605> like bears <1677>, and mourn
<1897> sore like doves <3123>: we look <6960> for judgment
<4941>, but [there is] none <0369>; for salvation < 3444>, [but]
it is far <7368> off from us.



12 For our transgressions <6588> are multiplied < 7231> before
<5048> thee, and our sins <2403> testify <6030> against us: for
our transgressions <6588> [are] with us; and [as for] our
iniquities <5771>, we know <3045> them;



13 In transgressing <6586> and lying <3584> against the LORD
<3068>, and departing <5253> away from our God < 0430>, speaking
<1696> oppression <6233> and revolt <5627>, conceiving <2030>
and uttering <1897> from the heart <3820> words < 1697> of
falsehood <8267>.



14 And judgment <4941> is turned <5253> away backward <0268>,
and justice <6666> standeth <5975> afar <7350> off: for truth
<0571> is fallen <3782> in the street <7339>, and equity <5229>
cannot enter <0935>.



15 Yea, truth <0571> faileth <5737>; and he [that] departeth
<5493> from evil <7451> maketh himself a prey < 7997>: and the
LORD <3068> saw <7200> [it], and it displeased him that [there
was] no <0369> judgment <4941>.



16. And he saw <7200> that [there was] no <0369> man <0376>,
and wondered <8074> that [there was] no <0369> intercessor
<6293>: therefore his arm <2220> brought <3467> salvation <3467>
unto him; and his righteousness <6666>, it sustained < 5564> him.



17 For he put <3847> on righteousness <6666> as a breastplate
<8302>, and an helmet <3553> of salvation <3444> upon his head
<7218>; and he put <3847> on the garments <0899> of vengeance
<5359> [for] clothing <8516>, and was clad < 5844> with zeal
<7068> as a cloke <4598>.



18 According <5921> to [their] deeds <1578>, accordingly <5922>
he will repay <7999>, fury <2534> to his adversaries <6862>,
recompence <1576> to his enemies <0341>; to the islands <0339>
he will repay <7999> recompence <1576>.



19 So shall they fear <3372> the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>
from the west <4628>, and his glory <3519> from the rising
<4217> of the sun <8121>. When <3588> the enemy <6862> shall
come <0935> in like a flood <5104>, the Spirit < 7307> of the
LORD <3068> shall lift <5127> up a standard < 5127> against him.



20 And the Redeemer <1350> shall come <0935> to Zion <6726>,
and unto them that turn <7725> from transgression < 6588> in
Jacob <3290>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



21 As for me, this <2063> [is] my covenant <1285> with them,
saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; My spirit <7307> that [is] upon
thee, and my words <1697> which <0834> I have put < 7760> in thy
mouth <6310>, shall not depart <4185> out of thy mouth <6310>,
nor out of the mouth <6310> of thy seed <2233>, nor out of the
mouth <6310> of thy seed's <2233> seed <2233>, saith <0559> the
LORD <3068>, from henceforth <3254> and for ever < 5769>.



Isaiah 60



1. Arise <6965>, shine <0215>; for thy light < 0216> is come
<0935>, and the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> is risen <2224>
upon thee.



2 For, behold <2009>, the darkness <2822> shall cover <3680>
the earth <0776>, and gross <6205> darkness < 6205> the people
<3816>: but the LORD <3068> shall arise <2224> upon thee, and
his glory <3519> shall be seen <7200> upon thee.



3 And the Gentiles <1471> shall come <1980> to thy light <0216>,
and kings <4428> to the brightness <5051> of thy rising <2225>.



4 Lift <5375> up thine eyes <5869> round <5439> about, and see
<7200>: all <3605> they gather <6908> themselves together, they
come <0935> to thee: thy sons <1121> shall come < 0935> from far
<7350>, and thy daughters <1121> shall be nursed < 0539> at
<5921> [thy] side <6654>.



5 Then <0227> thou shalt see, and flow <5102> together, and
thine heart <3824> shall fear <6342>, and be enlarged <7337>;
because <3588> the abundance <1995> of the sea < 3220> shall be
converted <2015> unto thee, the forces <2428> of the Gentiles
<1471> shall come <0935> unto thee.



6 The multitude <8229> of camels <1581> shall cover <3680> thee,
the dromedaries <1070> of Midian <4080> and Ephah <5891>; all
<3605> they from Sheba <7614> shall come <0935>: they shall
bring <5375> gold <2091> and incense <3828>; and they shall shew
<1319> forth the praises <8416> of the LORD < 3068>.



7 All <3605> the flocks <6629> of Kedar <6938> shall be
gathered <6908> together unto thee, the rams <0352> of Nebaioth
<5032> shall minister <8334> unto thee: they shall come <5927>
up with acceptance <7522> on <5921> mine altar < 4196>, and I
will glorify <6286> the house <1004> of my glory < 8597>.



8 Who <4310> [are] these <0428> [that] fly < 5774> as a cloud
<5645>, and as the doves <3123> to their windows < 0699>?



9. Surely <3588> the isles <0339> shall wait < 6960> for me, and
the ships <0591> of Tarshish <8659> first <7223> , to bring
<0935> thy sons <1121> from far <7350>, their silver <3701> and
their gold <2091> with them, unto the name <8034> of the LORD
<3068> thy God <0430>, and to the Holy <6918> One of Israel
<3478>, because <3588> he hath glorified <6286> thee.



10 And the sons <1121> of strangers <5236> shall build <1129>
up thy walls <2346>, and their kings <4428> shall minister
<8334> unto thee: for in my wrath <7110> I smote < 5221> thee,
but in my favour <7522> have I had mercy <7355> on thee.



11 Therefore thy gates <8179> shall be open <6605> continually
<8548>; they shall not be shut <5462> day <3119> nor night
<3915>; that [men] may bring <0935> unto thee the forces <2428>
of the Gentiles <1471>, and [that] their kings <4428> [may be]
brought <5090>.



12 For the nation <1471> and kingdom <4467> that will not serve
<5647> thee shall perish <6>; yea, [those] nations <1471> shall
be utterly wasted <2717>.



13 The glory <3519> of Lebanon <3844> shall come < 0935> unto
thee, the fir <1265> tree, the pine <8410> tree, and the box
<8391> together <3162>, to beautify <6286> the place <4725> of
my sanctuary <4720>; and I will make <7760> the place <4725> of
my feet <7272> glorious <3513>.



14 The sons <1121> also of them that afflicted <6031> thee
shall come <1980> bending <7817> unto thee; and all <3605> they
that despised <5006> thee shall bow <7812> themselves down
<7812> at <5921> the soles <3709> of thy feet <7272>; and they
shall call <7121> thee, The city <5892> of the LORD <3068>, The
Zion <6726> of the Holy <6918> One of Israel < 3478>.



15. Whereas <8478> thou hast been <1961> forsaken <5800> and
hated <8130>, so that no <0369> man went <5674> through <5674>
[thee], I will make <7760> thee an eternal <5769> excellency
<1347>, a joy <4885> of many generations <1755>.



16 Thou shalt also suck <3243> the milk <2461> of the Gentiles
<1471>, and shalt suck <3243> the breast <7699> of kings <4428>:
and thou shalt know <3045> that I the LORD <3068> [am] thy
Saviour <3467> and thy Redeemer <1350>, the mighty <46> One of
Jacob <3290>.



17 For brass <5178> I will bring <0935> gold < 2091>, and for
iron <1270> I will bring <0935> silver <3701>, and for wood
<6086> brass <5178>, and for stones <68> iron <1270>: I will
also make <7760> thy officers <6486> peace < 7965>, and thine
exactors <5065> righteousness <6666>.



18 Violence <2555> shall no <3808> more <5750> be heard <8085>
in thy land <0776>, wasting <7701> nor destruction <7667> within
thy borders <1366>; but thou shalt call <7121> thy walls <2346>
Salvation <3444>, and thy gates <8179> Praise < 8416>.



19 The sun <8121> shall be no <3808> more < 5750> thy light
<0216> by day <3117>; neither <3808> for brightness <5051> shall
the moon <3394> give light <0216> unto thee: but the LORD <3068>
shall be unto thee an everlasting <5769> light <0216>, and thy
God <0430> thy glory <8597>.



20 Thy sun <8121> shall no <3808> more <5750> go <0935> down;
neither <3808> shall thy moon <3391> withdraw < 0622> itself: for
the LORD <3068> shall be thine everlasting <5769> light <0216>,
and the days <3117> of thy mourning <60> shall be ended <7999>.



21 Thy people <5971> also [shall be] all <3605> righteous
<6662>: they shall inherit <3423> the land < 0776> for ever
<5769>, the branch <5342> of my planting <4302>, the work <4639>
of my hands <3027>, that I may be glorified <6286>.



22 A little <6996> one shall become <1961> a thousand <0505>,
and a small <6810> one a strong <6099> nation < 1471>: I the LORD
<3068> will hasten <2363> it in his time <6256>.



Isaiah 61



1. The Spirit <7307> of the Lord <0136> GOD < 3069> [is] upon me;
because <3282> the LORD <3068> hath anointed < 4886> me to
preach <1319> good <1319> tidings <1319> unto the meek <6035>;
he hath sent <7971> me to bind <2280> up the brokenhearted, to
proclaim <7121> liberty <1865> to the captives < 7628>, and the
opening <6495> of the prison <6495> to [them that are] bound
<0631>;



2 To proclaim <7121> the acceptable <7522> year < 8141> of the
LORD <3068>, and the day <3117> of vengeance < 5359> of our God
<0430>; to comfort <5162> all <3605> that mourn <57>;



3 To appoint <7760> unto them that mourn <57> in Zion <6726>,
to give <5414> unto them beauty <6287> for ashes < 0665>, the oil
<8081> of joy <8342> for mourning <60>, the garment <4594> of
praise <8416> for the spirit <7307> of heaviness < 3544>; that
they might be called <7121> trees <0352> of righteousness <6664>,
the planting <4302> of the LORD <3068>, that he might be
glorified <6286>.



4. And they shall build <1129> the old <5769> wastes <2723>,
they shall raise <6965> up the former <7223> desolations <8074>,
and they shall repair <2318> the waste <2721> cities <5892>, the
desolations <8074> of many <7227> generations < 1755>.



5 And strangers <2114> shall stand <5975> and feed <7462> your
flocks <6629>, and the sons <1121> of the alien < 5236> [shall
be] your plowmen <0406> and your vinedressers <3755>.



6 But ye shall be named <7121> the Priests <3548> of the LORD
<3068>: [men] shall call <7121> you the Ministers < 8334> of our
God <0430>: ye shall eat <0398> the riches < 2428> of the
Gentiles <1471>, and in their glory <3519> shall ye boast <3235>
yourselves.



7 For your shame <1322> [ye shall have] double <4932> ; and
[for] confusion <3639> they shall rejoice <7442> in their
portion <2506>: therefore <3651> in their land < 0776> they shall
possess <3423> the double <4932>: everlasting < 5769> joy <8057>
shall be unto them.



8 For I the LORD <3068> love <0157> judgment < 4941>, I hate
<8130> robbery <1498> for burnt <5930> offering; and I will
direct <5414> their work <6468> in truth <0571>, and I will make
<3772> an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285> with them.



9 And their seed <2233> shall be known <3045> among the
Gentiles <1471>, and their offspring <6631> among < 8432> the
people <5971>: all <3605> that see <7200> them shall acknowledge
<5234> them, that they [are] the seed <2233> [which] the LORD
<3068> hath blessed <1288>.



10. I will greatly rejoice <7797> in the LORD <3068>, my soul
<5315> shall be joyful <1523> in my God <0430>; for he hath
clothed <3847> me with the garments <0899> of salvation <3468>,
he hath covered <3271> me with the robe <4598> of righteousness
<6666>, as a bridegroom <2860> decketh <3547> [himself] with
ornaments <6287>, and as a bride <3618> adorneth < 5710>
[herself] with her jewels <3627>.



11 For as the earth <0776> bringeth <3318> forth < 3318> her bud
<6779>, and as the garden <1593> causeth the things that are
sown <2221> in it to spring <6779> forth; so < 3651> the Lord
<0136> GOD <3069> will cause righteousness < 6666> and praise
<8416> to spring <6779> forth before <5048> all <3605> the
nations <1471>.



Isaiah 62



1. For Zion's sake <4616> will I not hold <2814> my peace
<2814>, and for Jerusalem's <3389> sake <4616> I will not rest
<8252>, until <5704> the righteousness <6664> thereof go <3318>
forth <3318> as brightness <5051>, and the salvation <3444>
thereof as a lamp <3940> [that] burneth <1197>.



2 And the Gentiles <1471> shall see <7200> thy righteousness
<6664>, and all <3605> kings <4428> thy glory <3519>: and thou
shalt be called <7121> by a new <2319> name < 8034>, which <0834>
the mouth <6310> of the LORD <3068> shall name < 8034>.



3 Thou shalt also be a crown <5850> of glory <8597> in the hand
<3027> of the LORD <3068>, and a royal <4410> diadem <6797> in
the hand <3709> of thy God <0430>.



4 Thou shalt no <3808> more <5750> be termed < 0559> Forsaken
<5800>; neither <3808> shall thy land <0776> any more <5750> be
termed <0559> Desolate <8077>: but thou shalt be called <7121>
Hephzibah <2657>, and thy land <0776> Beulah < 1166>: for the
LORD <3068> delighteth <2654> in thee, and thy land <0776> shall
be married <1166>.



5 For [as] a young <0970> man marrieth <1166> a virgin <1330>,
[so] shall thy sons <1121> marry <1166> thee: and [as] the
bridegroom <2860> rejoiceth <4885> over <5921> the bride <3618>,
[so] shall thy God <0430> rejoice <7797> over < 5921> thee.



6. I have set <6485> watchmen <8104> upon thy walls <2346>, O
Jerusalem <3389>, [which] shall never <3808> hold < 2814> their
peace <2814> day <3117> nor night <3915>: ye that make mention
<2142> of the LORD <3068>, keep not silence < 1824>,



7 And give <5414> him no <0408> rest <1824>, till <5704> he
establish <3559>, and till <5704> he make <7760> Jerusalem
<3389> a praise <8416> in the earth <0776>.



8 The LORD <3068> hath sworn <7650> by his right < 3225> hand
<3225>, and by the arm <2220> of his strength < 5797>, Surely
<0518> I will no <0518> more <5750> give < 5414> thy corn <1715>
[to be] meat <3978> for thine enemies <0341>; and the sons
<1121> of the stranger <5236> shall not drink < 8354> thy wine
<8492>, for the which <0834> thou hast laboured < 3021>:



9 But they that have gathered <0622> it shall eat < 0398> it,
and praise <1984> the LORD <3068>; and they that have brought
<6908> it together shall drink <8354> it in the courts <2691> of
my holiness <6944>.



10. Go <5674> through <5674>, go <5674> through the gates
<8179>; prepare <6437> ye the way <1870> of the people <5971>;
cast <5549> up, cast <5549> up the highway < 4546>; gather <5619>
out the stones <68>; lift <7311> up a standard < 5251> for the
people <5971>.



11 Behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> hath proclaimed <8085> unto
the end <7097> of the world <0776>, Say <0559> ye to the
daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>, Behold <2009>, thy salvation
<3468> cometh <0935>; behold <2009>, his reward <7939> [is] with
him, and his work <6468> before <6440> him.



12 And they shall call <7121> them, The holy <6944> people
<5971>, The redeemed <1350> of the LORD <3068>: and thou shalt
be called <7121>, Sought <1875> out, A city < 5892> not forsaken
<5800>.



Isaiah 63



1. Who <4310> [is] this <2088> that cometh < 0935> from Edom
<0123>, with dyed <2556> garments <0899> from Bozrah <1224>?
this <2088> [that is] glorious <1921> in his apparel <3830>,
travelling <6808> in the greatness <7230> of his strength
<3581>? I that speak <1696> in righteousness < 6666>, mighty
<7227> to save <3467>.



2 Wherefore <4069> [art thou] red <0122> in thine apparel
<3830>, and thy garments <0899> like him that treadeth <1869> in
the winefat <1660>?



3 I have trodden <1869> the winepress <6333> alone <0905>; and
of the people <5971> [there was] none with me: for I will tread
<1869> them in mine anger <0639>, and trample < 7429> them in my
fury <2534>; and their blood <5332> shall be sprinkled <5137>
upon my garments <0899>, and I will stain <1351> all <3605> my
raiment <4403>.



4 For the day <3117> of vengeance <5359> [is] in mine heart
<3820>, and the year <8141> of my redeemed < 1350> is come <0935>.



5 And I looked <5027>, and [there was] none <0369> to help
<5826>; and I wondered <8074> that [there was] none <0369> to
uphold <5564>: therefore mine own arm <2220> brought <3467>
salvation <3467> unto me; and my fury <2534>, it upheld <5564>
me.



6 And I will tread <0947> down the people <5971> in mine anger
<0639>, and make them drunk <7937> in my fury < 2534>, and I will
bring <3381> down their strength <5332> to the earth <0776>.



7. I will mention <2142> the lovingkindnesses <2617> of the
LORD <3068>, [and] the praises <8416> of the LORD < 3068>,
according <5921> to all <3605> that the LORD < 3068> hath
bestowed <1580> on us, and the great <7227> goodness <2898>
toward the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, which < 0834> he hath
bestowed <1580> on them according to his mercies < 7356>, and
according to the multitude <7230> of his lovingkindnesses <2617>.



8 For he said <0559>, Surely <0389> they [are] my people <5971>,
children <1121> [that] will not lie <8266>: so he was their
Saviour <3467>.



9 In all <3605> their affliction <6869> he was afflicted <6862>,
and the angel <4397> of his presence <6440> saved <3467> them:
in his love <0160> and in his pity <2551> he redeemed <1350>
them; and he bare <5190> them, and carried <5375> them all
<3605> the days <3117> of old <5769>.



10 But they rebelled <4784>, and vexed <6087> his holy <6944>
Spirit <7307>: therefore he was turned <2015> to be their enemy
<0341>, [and] he fought <3898> against them.



11 Then he remembered <2142> the days <3117> of old <5769>,
Moses <4872>, [and] his people <5971>, [saying], Where <0346>
[is] he that brought <5927> them up out of the sea < 3220> with
the shepherd <7462> of his flock <6629>? where < 0346> [is] he
that put <7760> his holy <6944> Spirit <7307> within <7130> him?



12 That led <3212> [them] by the right <3225> hand <3225> of
Moses <4872> with his glorious <8597> arm <2220> , dividing
<1234> the water <4325> before <6440> them, to make <6213>
himself an everlasting <5769> name <8034>?



13 That led <3212> them through the deep <8415>, as an horse
<5483> in the wilderness <4057>, [that] they should not stumble
<3782>?



14 As a beast <0929> goeth <3318> down <3381> into the valley
<1237>, the Spirit <7307> of the LORD <3068> caused him to rest
<5117>: so <3651> didst thou lead <5090> thy people <5971>, to
make <6213> thyself a glorious <8597> name < 8034>.



15. Look <5027> down from heaven <8064>, and behold <7200> from
the habitation <2073> of thy holiness <6944> and of thy glory
<8597>: where <0346> [is] thy zeal <7068> and thy strength
<1369>, the sounding <1995> of thy bowels <4578> and of thy
mercies <7356> toward <0413> me? are they restrained <0662>?



16 Doubtless <3588> thou [art] our father <1>, though <3588>
Abraham <85> be ignorant of us, and Israel <3478> acknowledge
<5234> us not: thou, O LORD <3068>, [art] our father <1>, our
redeemer <1350>; thy name <8034> [is] from everlasting <5769>.



17 O LORD <3068>, why <4100> hast thou made us to err <8582>
from thy ways <1870>, [and] hardened <7188> our heart <3820>
from thy fear <3374>? Return <7725> for thy servants <5650>'
sake <4616>, the tribes <7626> of thine inheritance <5159>.



18 The people <5971> of thy holiness <6944> have possessed
<3423> [it] but a little <4705> while <4705>: our adversaries
<6862> have trodden <0947> down thy sanctuary < 4720>.



19 We are [thine]: thou never barest <4910> rule < 4910> over
them; they were not called <7121> by thy name <8034>.



Isaiah 64



1. Oh <3863> that thou wouldest rend <7167> the heavens <8064>,
that thou wouldest come <3381> down <3381>, that the mountains
<2022> might flow <2151> down at thy presence < 6440>,



2 As [when] the melting <2003> fire <0784> burneth <6919>, the
fire <0784> causeth the waters <4325> to boil < 1158>, to make
thy name <8034> known <3045> to thine adversaries < 6862>, [that]
the nations <1471> may tremble <7264> at thy presence <6440>!



3 When thou didst <6213> terrible <3372> things [which] we
looked <6960> not for, thou camest <3381> down < 3381>, the
mountains <2022> flowed <2151> down at thy presence <6440>.



4 For since the beginning <5769> of the world <5769> [men] have
not heard <8085>, nor <3808> perceived <0238> by the ear <0238>,
neither <3808> hath the eye <5869> seen <7200>, O God <0430>,
beside <2108> thee, [what] he hath prepared <6213> for him that
waiteth <2442> for him.



5 Thou meetest <6293> him that rejoiceth <7797> and worketh
<6213> righteousness <6664>, [those that] remember <2142> thee
in thy ways <1870>: behold <2005>, thou art wroth < 7107>; for we
have sinned <2398>: in those <1992> is continuance <5769>, and
we shall be saved <3467>.



6. But we are all <3605> as an unclean <2931> [thing], and all
<3605> our righteousnesses <6666> [are] as filthy < 5708> rags
<0899>; and we all <3605> do fade <5034> as a leaf <5929>; and
our iniquities <5771>, like the wind <7307>, have taken <5375>
us away.



7 And [there is] none <0369> that calleth <7121> upon thy name
<8034>, that stirreth <5782> up himself to take < 2388> hold
<2388> of thee: for thou hast hid <5641> thy face < 6440> from us,
and hast consumed <4127> us, because <3027> of our iniquities
<5771>.



8 But now <6258>, O LORD <3068>, thou [art] our father <1>; we
[are] the clay <2563>, and thou our potter <3335>; and we all
<3605> [are] the work <4639> of thy hand <3027>.



9 Be not wroth <7107> very <3966> sore <3966>, O LORD <3068>,
neither <0408> remember <2142> iniquity <5771> for ever <5703>:
behold <2005>, see <5027>, we beseech <4994> thee, we [are] all
<3605> thy people <5971>.



10 Thy holy <6944> cities <5892> are a wilderness <4057>, Zion
<6726> is a wilderness <4057>, Jerusalem <3389> a desolation
<8077>.



11 Our holy <6944> and our beautiful <8597> house <1004>, where
<0834> our fathers <1> praised <1984> thee, is burned <8316> up
with fire <0784>: and all <3605> our pleasant < 4261> things are
laid waste <2723>.



12 Wilt thou refrain <0662> thyself for these <0428> [things],
O LORD <3068>? wilt thou hold <2814> thy peace < 2814>, and
afflict <6031> us very <3966> sore <3966>?



Isaiah 65



1. I am sought <1875> of [them that] asked <7592> not [for me];
I am found <4672> of [them that] sought <1245> me not: I said
<0559>, Behold <2009> me, behold <2009> me, unto a nation <1471>
[that] was not called <7121> by my name <8034>.



2 I have spread <6566> out my hands <3027> all < 3605> the day
<3117> unto a rebellious <5637> people <5971>, which walketh
<1980> in a way <1870> [that was] not good < 2896>, after <0310>
their own thoughts <4284>;



3 A people <5971> that provoketh me to anger <3707> continually
<8548> to my face <6440>; that sacrificeth < 2076> in gardens
<1593>, and burneth <6999> incense <6999> upon altars of brick
<3843>;



4 Which remain <3427> among the graves <6913>, and lodge <3885>
in the monuments <5341>, which eat <0398> swine's < 2386> flesh
<1320>, and broth <6564> of abominable <6292> [things is in]
their vessels <3627>;



5 Which <0834> say <0559>, Stand <7126> by thyself, come <5066>
not near <5066> to me; for I am holier <6942> than thou. These
<0428> [are] a smoke <6227> in my nose <0639>, a fire <0784>
that burneth <3344> all <3605> the day <3117>.



6 Behold <2009>, [it is] written <3789> before < 6440> me: I
will not keep silence <2814>, but will recompense < 7999>, even
recompense into <5921> their bosom <2436>,



7 Your iniquities <5771>, and the iniquities <5771> of your
fathers <1> together <3162>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, which
<0834> have burned <6999> incense <6999> upon the mountains
<2022>, and blasphemed <2778> me upon the hills < 1389>:
therefore will I measure <4058> their former <7223> work <6468>
into <5921> their bosom <2436>.



8. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, As the new <8492>
wine <8492> is found <4672> in the cluster < 0811>, and [one]
saith <0559>, Destroy <7843> it not; for a blessing <1293> [is]
in it: so <3651> will I do <6213> for my servants < 5650>' sakes
<6616>, that I may not destroy <7843> them all < 3605>.



9 And I will bring <3318> forth <3318> a seed < 2233> out of
Jacob <3290>, and out of Judah <3063> an inheritor <3423> of my
mountains <2022>: and mine elect <0972> shall inherit <3423> it,
and my servants <5650> shall dwell <7931> there < 8033>.



10 And Sharon <8289> shall be a fold <5116> of flocks <6629>,
and the valley <6010> of Achor <5911> a place for the herds
<1241> to lie <7258> down <7257> in, for my people <5971> that
have sought <1875> me.



11. But ye [are] they that forsake <5800> the LORD < 3068>, that
forget <7913> my holy <6944> mountain <2022>, that prepare
<6186> a table <7979> for that troop <1409>, and that furnish
<4390> the drink <4469> offering unto that number < 4507>.



12 Therefore will I number <4487> you to the sword < 2719>, and
ye shall all <3605> bow <3766> down <3766> to the slaughter
<2875>: because <3282> when I called <7121>, ye did not answer
<6030>; when I spake <1696>, ye did <6213> not hear <8085>; but
did evil <7451> before mine eyes <5869>, and did < 6213> choose
<0977> [that] wherein <0834> I delighted <2654> not.



13 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136>
GOD <3069>, Behold <2009>, my servants <5650> shall eat <0398>,
but ye shall be hungry <7456>: behold <2009>, my servants <5650>
shall drink <8354>, but ye shall be thirsty <6770>: behold
<2009>, my servants <5650> shall rejoice <8055>, but ye shall be
ashamed <0954>:



14 Behold <2009>, my servants <5650> shall sing < 7442> for joy
<2898> of heart <3820>, but ye shall cry <6817> for sorrow
<3511> of heart <3820>, and shall howl <3213> for vexation
<7667> of spirit <7307>.



15 And ye shall leave <3241> your name <8034> for a curse
<7621> unto my chosen <0977>: for the Lord < 0136> GOD <3069>
shall slay <4191> thee, and call <7121> his servants <5650> by
another <0312> name <8034>:



16 That he who <0834> blesseth <1288> himself in the earth
<0776> shall bless <1288> himself in the God < 0430> of truth
<0548>; and he that sweareth <7650> in the earth < 0776> shall
swear <7650> by the God <0430> of truth <0548>; because <3588>
the former <7223> troubles <6869> are forgotten < 7911>, and
because <3588> they are hid <5641> from mine eyes < 5869>.



17. For, behold <2005>, I create <1254> new < 2319> heavens
<8064> and a new <2319> earth <0776>: and the former <7223>
shall not be remembered <2142>, nor <3808> come < 5927> into
<5921> mind <3820>.



18 But be ye glad <7796> and rejoice <1523> for ever <5703> [in
that] which <0834> I create <1254>: for, behold < 2005>, I create
<1254> Jerusalem <3389> a rejoicing <1525>, and her people
<5971> a joy <4885>.



19 And I will rejoice <1523> in Jerusalem <3389>, and joy
<7796> in my people <5971>: and the voice <6963> of weeping
<1065> shall be no <3808> more <5750> heard < 8085> in her, nor
the voice <6963> of crying <2201>.



20 There shall be no <3808> more <5750> thence < 8033> an infant
<5764> of days <3117>, nor an old <2205> man that hath not
filled <4390> his days <3117>: for the child < 5288> shall die
<4191> an hundred <3967> years <8141> old < 1121>; but the sinner
<2398> [being] an hundred <3967> years <8141> old <1121> shall
be accursed <7043>.



21 And they shall build <1129> houses <1004>, and inhabit
<3427> [them]; and they shall plant <5193> vineyards <3754>, and
eat <0398> the fruit <6529> of them.



22 They shall not build <1129>, and another <0312> inhabit
<3427>; they shall not plant <5193>, and another < 0312> eat
<0398>: for as the days <3117> of a tree <6086> [are] the days
<3117> of my people <5971>, and mine elect < 0972> shall long
enjoy <1086> the work <4639> of their hands < 3027>.



23 They shall not labour <3021> in vain <7385>, nor <3808>
bring <3205> forth <3205> for trouble <0928>; for they [are] the
seed <2233> of the blessed <1288> of the LORD < 3068>, and their
offspring <6631> with them.



24 And it shall come <1961> to pass, that before < 2962> they
call <7121>, I will answer <6030>; and while they are yet <5750>
speaking <1696>, I will hear <8085>.



25 The wolf <2061> and the lamb <2924> shall feed <7462>
together <0259>, and the lion <0738> shall eat < 0398> straw
<8401> like the bullock <1241>: and dust <6083> [shall be] the
serpent's <5175> meat <3899>. They shall not hurt < 7489> nor
<3808> destroy <7843> in all <3605> my holy < 6944> mountain
<2022>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



Isaiah 66



1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, The heaven <8064>
[is] my throne <3678>, and the earth <0776> [is] my footstool:
where <0335> [is] the house <1004> that ye build < 1129> unto me?
and where <0335> [is] the place <4725> of my rest < 4496>?



2 For all <3605> those <0428> [things] hath mine hand <3027>
made <6213>, and all <3605> those <0428> [things] have been
<1961>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: but to this <2088> [man]
will I look <5027>, [even] to [him that is] poor < 6041> and of a
contrite <5223> spirit <7307>, and trembleth < 2730> at <5921> my
word <1697>.



3 He that killeth <7819> an ox <7794> [is as if] he slew <5221>
a man <0376>; he that sacrificeth <2076> a lamb < 7716>, [as if]
he cut off a dog's <3611> neck <6202>; he that offereth <5927>
an oblation <4503>, [as if he offered <5927>] swine's <2386>
blood <1818>; he that burneth <2142> incense < 3828>, [as if] he
blessed <1288> an idol <0205>. Yea <1571>, they have chosen
<0977> their own ways <1870>, and their soul < 5315> delighteth
<2654> in their abominations <8251>.



4 I also <1571> will choose <0977> their delusions <8586>, and
will bring <0935> their fears <4035> upon them; because <3282>
when I called <7121>, none <0369> did answer < 6030>; when I
spake <1696>, they did not hear <8085>: but they did <6213> evil
<7451> before mine eyes <5869>, and chose <0977> [that] in which
<0834> I delighted <2654> not.



5. Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD < 3068>, ye that
tremble <2730> at <0413> his word <1697>; Your brethren <0251>
that hated <8130> you, that cast <5077> you out for my name's
<8034> sake <4616>, said <0559>, Let the LORD <3068> be
glorified <3513>: but he shall appear <7200> to your joy <8057>,
and they shall be ashamed <0954>.



6 A voice <6963> of noise <7588> from the city < 5892>, a voice
<6963> from the temple <1964>, a voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>
that rendereth <7999> recompence <1576> to his enemies <0341>.



7 Before <2962> she travailed <2342>, she brought <3205> forth
<3205>; before <2962> her pain <2256> came < 0935>, she was
delivered <4422> of a man <2145> child.



8 Who <4310> hath heard <8085> such <2063> a thing? who <0834>
hath seen <7200> such <0428> things? Shall the earth <0776> be
made to bring <2342> forth <2342> in one <0259> day <3117>? [or]
shall a nation <1471> be born <3205> at once < 6471>? for as soon
<1571> as Zion <6726> travailed <2342>, she brought <3205> forth
<3205> her children <1121>.



9 Shall I bring <7665> to the birth <7665>, and not cause to
bring <3205> forth <3205>? saith <0559> the LORD <3068>: shall I
cause to bring <3205> forth <3205>, and shut < 6113> [the womb]?
saith <0559> thy God <0430>.



10 Rejoice <8055> ye with Jerusalem <3389>, and be glad <1528>
with her, all <3605> ye that love <0157> her: rejoice <7797> for
joy <4885> with her, all <3605> ye that mourn < 56> for her:



11 That ye may suck <3243>, and be satisfied <7646> with the
breasts <7699> of her consolations <8575>; that ye may milk
<4711> out, and be delighted <6026> with the abundance <2123> of
her glory <3519>.



12 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> , Behold <2005>,
I will extend <5186> peace <7965> to her like a river <5104>,
and the glory <3519> of the Gentiles <1471> like a flowing
<7857> stream <5158>: then shall ye suck <3243>, ye shall be
borne <5375> upon [her] sides <6654>, and be dandled <8173> upon
[her] knees <1290>.



13 As one <0376> whom <0834> his mother <0517> comforteth
<5162>, so <3651> will I comfort <5162> you; and ye shall be
comforted <5162> in Jerusalem <3389>.



14 And when ye see <7200> [this], your heart <3820> shall
rejoice <7797>, and your bones <6106> shall flourish <6524> like
an herb <1877>: and the hand <3027> of the LORD < 3068> shall be
known <3045> toward <0854> his servants <5650>, and [his]
indignation <2194> toward <0854> his enemies < 0341>.



15. For, behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> will come <0935> with
fire <0784>, and with his chariots <4818> like a whirlwind
<5492>, to render <7725> his anger <0639> with fury <2534>, and
his rebuke <1606> with flames <3851> of fire < 0784>.



16 For by fire <0784> and by his sword <2719> will the LORD
<3068> plead <8199> with all <3605> flesh < 1320>: and the slain
<2491> of the LORD <3068> shall be many <7231>.



17 They that sanctify <6942> themselves, and purify < 2891>
themselves in the gardens <1593> behind <0310> one <0259> [tree]
in the midst <8432>, eating <0398> swine's < 2386> flesh <1320>,
and the abomination <8263>, and the mouse <5909>, shall be
consumed <5486> together <3162>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



18 For I [know] their works <4639> and their thoughts < 4284>:
it shall come <0935>, that I will gather <6908> all <3605>
nations <1471> and tongues <3956>; and they shall come <0935>,
and see <7200> my glory <3519>.



19 And I will set <7760> a sign <0226> among them, and I will
send <7971> those <1992> that escape <6412> of them unto the
nations <1471>, [to] Tarshish <8659>, Pul <6322> , and Lud <3865>,
that draw <4900> the bow <7198>, [to] Tubal < 8422>, and Javan
<3120>, [to] the isles <0339> afar <7350> off, that have not
heard <8085> my fame <8088>, neither <3808> have seen <7200> my
glory <3519>; and they shall declare <5046> my glory <3519>
among the Gentiles <1471>.



20 And they shall bring <0935> all <3605> your brethren <0251>
[for] an offering <4503> unto the LORD <3068> out of all <3605>
nations <1471> upon horses <5483>, and in chariots <7393>, and
in litters <6632>, and upon mules <6505>, and upon swift <3753>
beasts <3753>, to my holy <6944> mountain <2022> Jerusalem
<3389>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, as the children <1121> of
Israel <3478> bring <0935> an offering <4503> in a clean <2889>
vessel <3627> into the house <1004> of the LORD < 3068>.



21 And I will also <1571> take <3947> of them for priests
<3548> [and] for Levites <3881>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



22 For as the new <2319> heavens <8064> and the new <2319>
earth <0776>, which <0834> I will make <6213>, shall remain
<5975> before <6440> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, so <3651>
shall your seed <2233> and your name <8034> remain <5975>.



23 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] from one new <2320>
moon <2320> to another, and from one sabbath <7676> to another,
shall all <3605> flesh <1320> come <0935> to worship <7812>
before <6440> me, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



24 And they shall go <3318> forth <3318>, and look <7200> upon
the carcases <6297> of the men <0582> that have transgressed
<6586> against me: for their worm <8438> shall not die <4191>,
neither <3808> shall their fire <0784> be quenched <3518>; and
they shall be an abhorring <1860> unto all <3605> flesh <1320>.
