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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

214 And upon all the high mountains an .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

319 The chains and the bracelets and the mufflers .

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

321 The rings and nose jewels .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

710 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz saying .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

85 The LORD spake also unto me again saying .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

108 For he saith Are not my princes altogether kings .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

375 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3715 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD saying .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4121 Produce your cause saith the LORD bring forth your strong
reasons saith the King of Jacob .

4122 Let them bring them forth and show us what shall happen
let them show the former things what they be that we may
consider them and know the latter end of them or declare us
things for to come .

4123 Show the things that are to come hereafter that we may
know that ye are gods yea do good or do evil that we may be
dismayed and behold it together .

4124 Behold ye are of nothing and your work of nought an
abomination is he that chooseth you .

4125 I have raised up one from the north and he shall come from
the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name and he shall
come upon princes as upon mortar and as the potter treadeth clay
.

4126 Who hath declared from the beginning that we may know and
beforetime that we may say He is righteous yea there is none
that showeth yea there is none that declareth yea there is none
that heareth your words .

4127 The first shall say to Zion Behold behold them and I will
give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings .

4128 For I beheld and there was no man even among them and
there was no counsellor that when I asked of them could answer a
word .

4129 Behold they are all vanity their works are nothing their
molten images are wind and confusion .

* 421 Behold my servant whom I uphold mine elect in whom my
soul delighteth I have put my spirit upon him he shall bring
forth judgment to the Gentiles .

422 He shall not cry nor lift up nor cause his voice to be
heard in the street .

423 A bruised reed shall he not break and the smoking flax
shall he not quench he shall bring forth judgment unto truth .

424 He shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set
judgment in the earth and the isles shall wait for his law .

425 Thus saith God the LORD he that created the heavens and
stretched them out he that spread forth the earth and that which
cometh out of it he that giveth breath unto the people upon it
and spirit to them that walk therein .

426 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness and will hold
thine hand and will keep thee and give thee for a covenant of
the people for a light of the Gentiles .

427 To open the blind eyes to bring out the prisoners from the
prison and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house .

428 I am the LORD that is my name and my glory will I not give
to another neither my praise to graven images .

429 Behold the former things are come to pass and new things do
I declare before they spring forth I tell you of them .

4210 Sing unto the LORD a new song and his praise from the end
of the earth ye that go down to the sea and all that is therein
the isles and the inhabitants thereof .

4211 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their
voice the villages that Kedar doth inhabit let the inhabitants
of the rock sing let them shout from the top of the mountains .

4212 Let them give glory unto the LORD and declare his praise
in the islands .

4213 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man he shall stir up
jealousy like a man of war he shall cry yea roar he shall
prevail against his enemies .

4214 I have long time holden my peace I have been still and
refrained myself now will I cry like a travailing woman I will
destroy and devour at once .

4215 I will make waste mountains and hills and dry up all their
herbs and I will make the rivers islands and I will dry up the
pools .

4216 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not I
will lead them in paths that they have not known I will make
darkness light before them and crooked things straight These
things will I do unto them and not forsake them .

4217 They shall be turned back they shall be greatly ashamed
that trust in graven images that say to the molten images Ye are
our gods .

4218 Hear ye deaf and look ye blind that ye may see .

4219 Who is blind but my servant or deaf as my messenger that I
sent who is blind as he that is perfect and blind as the LORD's
servant .

4220 Seeing many things but thou observest not opening the ears
but he heareth not .

4221 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake he
will magnify the law and make it honourable .

4222 But this is a people robbed and spoiled they are all of
them snared in holes and they are hid in prison houses they are
for a prey and none delivereth for a spoil and none saith
Restore .

4223 Who among you will give ear to this who will hearken and
hear for the time to come .

4224 Who gave Jacob for a spoil and Israel to the robbers did
not the LORD he against whom we have sinned for they would not
walk in his ways neither were they obedient unto his law .

4225 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger
and the strength of battle and it hath set him on fire round
about yet he knew not and it burned him yet he laid it not to
heart .

* 431 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee O Jacob and
he that formed thee O Israel Fear not for I have redeemed thee I
have called thee by thy name thou art mine .

432 When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee
and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee when thou
walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned neither shall
the flame kindle upon thee .

433 For I am the LORD thy God the Holy One of Israel thy
Saviour I gave Egypt for thy ransom Ethiopia and Seba for thee .

434 Since thou wast precious in my sight thou hast been
honourable and I have loved thee therefore will I give men for
thee and people for thy life .

435 Fear not for I am with thee I will bring thy seed from the
east and gather thee from the west .

436 I will say to the north Give up and to the south Keep not
back bring my sons from far and my daughters from the ends of
the earth .

437 Even every one that is called by my name for I have created
him for my glory I have formed him yea I have made him .

438 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes and the deaf
that have ears .

439 Let all the nations be gathered together and let the people
be assembled who among them can declare this and show us former
things let them bring forth their witnesses that they may be
justified or let them hear and say It is truth .

4310 Ye are my witnesses saith the LORD and my servant whom I
have chosen that ye may know and believe me and understand that
I am he before me there was no God formed neither shall there be
after me .

4311 I even I am the LORD and beside me there is no saviour .

4312 I have declared and have saved and I have showed when
there was no strange god among you therefore ye are my witnesses
saith the LORD that I am God .

4313 Yea before the day was I am he and there is none that can
deliver out of my hand I will work and who shall let it .

4314 Thus saith the LORD your redeemer the Holy One of Israel
For your sake I have sent to Babylon and have brought down all
their nobles and the Chaldeans whose cry is in the ships .

4315 I am the LORD your Holy One the creator of Israel your
King .

4316 Thus saith the LORD which maketh a way in the sea and a
path in the mighty waters .

4317 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse the army and
the power they shall lie down together they shall not rise they
are extinct they are quenched as tow .

4318 Remember ye not the former things neither consider the
things of old .

4319 Behold I will do a new thing now it shall spring forth
shall ye not know it I will even make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert .

4320 The beast of the field shall honour me the dragons and the
owls because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the
desert to give drink to my people my chosen .

4321 This people have I formed for myself they shall show forth
my praise .

4322 But thou hast not called upon me O Jacob but thou hast
been weary of me O Israel .

4323 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt
offerings neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices I
have not caused thee to serve with an offering nor wearied thee
with incense .

4324 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money neither hast
thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices but thou hast made
me to serve with thy sins thou hast wearied me with thine
iniquities .

4325 I even I am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for
mine own sake and will not remember thy sins .

4326 Put me in remembrance let us plead together declare thou
that thou mayest be justified .

4327 Thy first father hath sinned and thy teachers have
transgressed against me .

4328 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary and
have given Jacob to the curse and Israel to reproaches .

* 441 Yet now hear O Jacob my servant and Israel whom I have
chosen .

442 Thus saith the LORD that made thee and formed thee from the
womb which will help thee Fear not O Jacob my servant and thou
Jesurun whom I have chosen .

443 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty and floods
upon the dry ground I will pour my spirit upon thy seed and my
blessing upon thine offspring .

444 And they shall spring up as among the grass as willows by
the water courses .

445 One shall say I am the LORD's and another shall call
himself by the name of Jacob and another shall subscribe with
his hand unto the LORD and surname himself by the name of Israel
.

446 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the
LORD of hosts I am the first and I am the last and beside me
there is no God .

447 And who as I shall call and shall declare it and set it in
order for me since I appointed the ancient people and the things
that are coming and shall come let them show unto them .

448 Fear ye not neither be afraid have not I told thee from
that time and have declared it ye are even my witnesses Is there
a God beside me yea there is no God I know not any .

449 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity and
their delectable things shall not profit and they are their own
witnesses they see not nor know that they may be ashamed .

4410 Who hath formed a god or molten a graven image that is
profitable for nothing .

4411 Behold all his fellows shall be ashamed and the workmen
they are of men let them all be gathered together let them stand
up yet they shall fear and they shall be ashamed together .

4412 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals and
fashioneth it with hammers and worketh it with the strength of
his arms yea he is hungry and his strength faileth he drinketh
no water and is faint .

4413 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule he marketh it out
with a line he fitteth it with planes and he marketh it out with
the compass and maketh it after the figure of a man according to
the beauty of a man that it may remain in the house .

4414 He heweth him down cedars and taketh the cypress and the
oak which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the
forest he planteth an ash and the rain doth nourish it .

4415 Then shall it be for a man to burn for he will take
thereof and warm himself yea he kindleth it and baketh bread yea
he maketh a god and worshippeth it he maketh it a graven image
and falleth down thereto .

4416 He burneth part thereof in the fire with part thereof he
eateth flesh he roasteth roast and is satisfied yea he warmeth
himself and saith Aha I am warm I have seen the fire .

4417 And the residue thereof he maketh a god even his graven
image he falleth down unto it and worshippeth it and prayeth
unto it and saith Deliver me for thou art my god .

4418 They have not known nor understood for he hath shut their
eyes that they cannot see and their hearts that they cannot
understand .

4419 And none considereth in his heart neither is there
knowledge nor understanding to say I have burned part of it in
the fire yea also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof I
have roasted flesh and eaten it and shall I make the residue
thereof an abomination shall I fall down to the stock of a tree .


4420 He feedeth on ashes a deceived heart hath turned him aside
that he cannot deliver his soul nor say Is there not a lie in my
right hand .

4421 Remember these O Jacob and Israel for thou art my servant
I have formed thee thou art my servant O Israel thou shalt not
be forgotten of me .

4422 I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions and
as a cloud thy sins return unto me for I have redeemed thee .

4423 Sing O ye heavens for the LORD hath done it shout ye lower
parts of the earth break forth into singing ye mountains O
forest and every tree therein for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob
and glorified himself in Israel .

4424 Thus saith the LORD thy redeemer and he that formed thee
from the womb I am the LORD that maketh all things that
stretcheth forth the heavens alone that spreadeth abroad the
earth by myself .

4425 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars and maketh
diviners mad that turneth wise men backward and maketh their
knowledge foolish .

4426 That confirmeth the word of his servant and performeth the
counsel of his messengers that saith to Jerusalem Thou shalt be
inhabited and to the cities of Judah Ye shall be built and I
will raise up the decayed places thereof .

4427 That saith to the deep Be dry and I will dry up thy rivers
.

4428 That saith of Cyrus He is my shepherd and shall perform
all my pleasure even saying to Jerusalem Thou shalt be built and
to the temple Thy foundation shall be laid .

* 451 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed to Cyrus whose right
hand I have holden to subdue nations before him and I will loose
the loins of kings to open before him the two leaved gates and
the gates shall not be shut .

452 I will go before thee and make the crooked places straight
I will break in pieces the gates of brass and cut in sunder the
bars of iron .

453 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness and hidden
riches of secret places that thou mayest know that I the LORD
which call thee by thy name am the God of Israel .

454 For Jacob my servant's sake and Israel mine elect I have
even called thee by thy name I have surnamed thee though thou
hast not known me .

455 I am the LORD and there is none else there is no God beside
me I girded thee though thou hast not known me .

456 That they may know from the rising of the sun and from the
west that there is none beside me I am the LORD and there is
none else .

457 I form the light and create darkness I make peace and
create evil I the LORD do all these things .

458 Drop down ye heavens from above and let the skies pour down
righteousness let the earth open and let them bring forth
salvation and let righteousness spring up together I the LORD
have created it .

459 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker Let the potsherd
strive with the potsherds of the earth Shall the clay say to him
that fashioneth it What makest thou or thy work He hath no hands
.

4510 Woe unto him that saith unto his father What begettest
thou or to the woman What hast thou brought forth .

4511 Thus saith the LORD the Holy One of Israel and his Maker
Ask me of things to come concerning my sons and concerning the
work of my hands command ye me .

4512 I have made the earth and created man upon it I even my
hands have stretched out the heavens and all their host have I
commanded .

4513 I have raised him up in righteousness and I will direct
all his ways he shall build my city and he shall let go my
captives not for price nor reward saith the LORD of hosts .

4514 Thus saith the LORD The labour of Egypt and merchandise of
Ethiopia and of the Sabeans men of stature shall come over unto
thee and they shall be thine they shall come after thee in
chains they shall come over and they shall fall down unto thee
they shall make supplication unto thee saying Surely God is in
thee and there is none else there is no God .

4515 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself O God of Israel
the Saviour .

4516 They shall be ashamed and also confounded all of them they
shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols .

4517 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting
salvation ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without
end .

4518 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens God
himself that formed the earth and made it he hath established it
he created it not in vain he formed it to be inhabited I am the
LORD and there is none else .

4519 I have not spoken in secret in a dark place of the earth I
said not unto the seed of Jacob Seek ye me in vain I the LORD
speak righteousness I declare things that are right .

4520 Assemble yourselves and come draw near together ye that
are escaped of the nations they have no knowledge that set up
the wood of their graven image and pray unto a god that cannot
save .

4521 Tell ye and bring them near yea let them take counsel
together who hath declared this from ancient time who hath told
it from that time have not I the LORD and there is no God else
beside me a just God and a Saviour there is none beside me .

4522 Look unto me and be ye saved all the ends of the earth for
I am God and there is none else .

4523 I have sworn by myself the word is gone out of my mouth in
righteousness and shall not return That unto me every knee shall
bow every tongue shall swear .

4524 Surely shall one say in the LORD have I righteousness and
strength even to him shall men come and all that are incensed
against him shall be ashamed .

4525 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified and
shall glory .

* 461 Bel boweth down Nebo stoopeth their idols were upon the
beasts and upon the cattle your carriages were heavy loaden they
are a burden to the weary beast .

462 They stoop they bow down together they could not deliver
the burden but themselves are gone into captivity .

463 Hearken unto me O house of Jacob and all the remnant of the
house of Israel which are borne by me from the belly which are
carried from the womb .

464 And even to your old age I am he and even to hoar hairs
will I carry you I have made and I will bear even I will carry
and will deliver you .

465 To whom will ye liken me and make me equal and compare me
that we may be like .

466 They lavish gold out of the bag and weigh silver in the
balance and hire a goldsmith and he maketh it a god they fall
down yea they worship .

467 They bear him upon the shoulder they carry him and set him
in his place and he standeth from his place shall he not remove
yea one shall cry unto him yet can he not answer nor save him
out of his trouble .

468 Remember this and show yourselves men bring it again to
mind O ye transgressors .

469 Remember the former things of old for I am God and there is
none else I am God and there is none like me .

4610 Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient
times the things that are not yet done saying My counsel shall
stand and I will do all my pleasure .

4611 Calling a ravenous bird from the east the man that
executeth my counsel from a far country yea I have spoken it I
will also bring it to pass I have purposed it I will also do it .

4612 Hearken unto me ye stouthearted that are far from
righteousness .

4613 I bring near my righteousness it shall not be far off and
my salvation shall not tarry and I will place salvation in Zion
for Israel my glory .

* 471 Come down and sit in the dust O virgin daughter of
Babylon sit on the ground there is no throne O daughter of the
Chaldeans for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate .

472 Take the millstones and grind meal uncover thy locks make
bare the leg uncover the thigh pass over the rivers .

473 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered yea thy shame shall be
seen I will take vengeance and I will not meet thee as a man .

474 As for our redeemer the LORD of hosts is his name the Holy
One of Israel .

475 Sit thou silent and get thee into darkness O daughter of
the Chaldeans for thou shalt no more be called The lady of
kingdoms .

476 I was wroth with my people I have polluted mine inheritance
and given them into thine hand thou didst show them no mercy
upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke .

477 And thou saidst I shall be a lady for ever so that thou
didst not lay these things to thy heart neither didst remember
the latter end of it .

478 Therefore hear now this thou that art given to pleasures
that dwellest carelessly that sayest in thine heart I am and
none else beside me I shall not sit as a widow neither shall I
know the loss of children .

479 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one
day the loss of children and widowhood they shall come upon thee
in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries and for
the great abundance of thine enchantments .

4710 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness thou hast said
None seeth me Thy wisdom and thy knowledge it hath perverted
thee and thou hast said in thine heart I am and none else beside
me .

4711 Therefore shall evil come upon thee thou shalt not know
from whence it riseth and mischief shall fall upon thee thou
shalt not be able to put it off and desolation shall come upon
thee suddenly which thou shalt not know .

4712 Stand now with thine enchantments and with the multitude
of thy sorceries wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth if so
be thou shalt be able to profit if so be thou mayest prevail .

4713 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels Let now
the astrologers the stargazers the monthly prognosticators stand
up and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee .

4714 Behold they shall be as stubble the fire shall burn them
they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame
there shall not be a coal to warm at nor fire to sit before it .

4715 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured
even thy merchants from thy youth they shall wander every one to
his quarter none shall save thee .

* 481 Hear ye this O house of Jacob which are called by the
name of Israel and are come forth out of the waters of Judah
which swear by the name of the LORD and make mention of the God
of Israel but not in truth nor in righteousness .

482 For they call themselves of the holy city and stay
themselves upon the God of Israel The LORD of hosts is his name .

483 I have declared the former things from the beginning and
they went forth out of my mouth and I showed them I did them
suddenly and they came to pass .

484 Because I knew that thou art obstinate and thy neck is an
iron sinew and thy brow brass .

485 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee before
it came to pass I showed it thee lest thou shouldest say Mine
idol hath done them and my graven image and my molten image hath
commanded them .

486 Thou hast heard see all this and will not ye declare it I
have showed thee new things from this time even hidden things
and thou didst not know them .

487 They are created now and not from the beginning even before
the day when thou heardest them not lest thou shouldest say
Behold I knew them .

488 Yea thou heardest not yea thou knewest not yea from that
time that thine ear was not opened for I knew that thou wouldest
deal very treacherously and wast called a transgressor from the
womb .

489 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger and for my
praise will I refrain for thee that I cut thee not off .

4810 Behold I have refined thee but not with silver I have
chosen thee in the furnace of affliction .

4811 For mine own sake even for mine own sake will I do it for
how should my name be polluted and I will not give my glory unto
another .

4812 Hearken unto me O Jacob and Israel my called I am he I am
the first I also am the last .

4813 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth and
my right hand hath spanned the heavens when I call unto them
they stand up together .

4814 All ye assemble yourselves and hear which among them hath
declared these things The LORD hath loved him he will do his
pleasure on Babylon and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans .

4815 I even I have spoken yea I have called him I have brought
him and he shall make his way prosperous .

4816 Come ye near unto me hear ye this I have not spoken in
secret from the beginning from the time that it was there am I
and now the Lord GOD and his Spirit hath sent me .

4817 Thus saith the LORD thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel I
am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit which leadeth
thee by the way that thou shouldest go .

4818 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments then had
thy peace been as a river and thy righteousness as the waves of
the sea .

4819 Thy seed also had been as the sand and the offspring of
thy bowels like the gravel thereof his name should not have been
cut off nor destroyed from before me .

4820 Go ye forth of Babylon flee ye from the Chaldeans with a
voice of singing declare ye tell this utter it even to the end
of the earth say ye The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob .

4821 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts
he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them he clave
the rock also and the waters gushed out .

4822 There is no peace saith the LORD unto the wicked .

* 491 Listen O isles unto me and hearken ye people from far The
LORD hath called me from the womb from the bowels of my mother
hath he made mention of my name .

492 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword in the shadow
of his hand hath he hid me and made me a polished shaft in his
quiver hath he hid me .

493 And said unto me Thou art my servant O Israel in whom I
will be glorified .

494 Then I said I have laboured in vain I have spent my
strength for nought and in vain yet surely my judgment is with
the LORD and my work with my God .

495 And now saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be
his servant to bring Jacob again to him Though Israel be not
gathered yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD and my
God shall be my strength .

496 And he said It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my
servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the
preserved of Israel I will also give thee for a light to the
Gentiles that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the
earth .

497 Thus saith the LORD the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One
to him whom man despiseth to him whom the nation abhorreth to a
servant of rulers Kings shall see and arise princes also shall
worship because of the LORD that is faithful and the Holy One of
Israel and he shall choose thee .

498 Thus saith the LORD In an acceptable time have I heard thee
and in a day of salvation have I helped thee and I will preserve
thee and give thee for a covenant of the people to establish the
earth to cause to inherit the desolate heritages .

499 That thou mayest say to the prisoners Go forth to them that
are in darkness Show yourselves They shall feed in the ways and
their pastures shall be in all high places .

4910 They shall not hunger nor thirst neither shall the heat
nor sun smite them for he that hath mercy on them shall lead
them even by the springs of water shall he guide them .

4911 And I will make all my mountains a way and my highways
shall be exalted .

4912 Behold these shall come from far and lo these from the
north and from the west and these from the land of Sinim .

4913 Sing O heavens and be joyful O earth and break forth into
singing O mountains for the LORD hath comforted his people and
will have mercy upon his afflicted .

4914 But Zion said The LORD hath forsaken me and my Lord hath
forgotten me .

4915 Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not
have compassion on the son of her womb yea they may forget yet
will I not forget thee .

4916 Behold I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands thy
walls are continually before me .

4917 Thy children shall make haste thy destroyers and they that
made thee waste shall go forth of thee .

4918 Lift up thine eyes round about and behold all these gather
themselves together and come to thee As I live saith the LORD
thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament
and bind them on thee as a bride doeth .

4919 For thy waste and thy desolate places and the land of thy
destruction shall even now be too narrow by reason of the
inhabitants and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away .

4920 The children which thou shalt have after thou hast lost
the other shall say again in thine ears The place is too strait
for me give place to me that I may dwell .

4921 Then shalt thou say in thine heart Who hath begotten me
these seeing I have lost my children and am desolate a captive
and removing to and fro and who hath brought up these Behold I
was left alone these where had they been .

4922 Thus saith the Lord GOD Behold I will lift up mine hand to
the Gentiles and set up my standard to the people and they shall
bring thy sons in their arms and thy daughters shall be carried
upon their shoulders .

4923 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers and their queens
thy nursing mothers they shall bow down to thee with their face
toward the earth and lick up the dust of thy feet and thou shalt
know that I am the LORD for they shall not be ashamed that wait
for me .

4924 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty or the lawful
captive delivered .

4925 But thus saith the LORD Even the captives of the mighty
shall be taken away and the prey of the terrible shall be
delivered for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee
and I will save thy children .

4926 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own
flesh and they shall be drunken with their own blood as with
sweet wine and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy
Saviour and thy Redeemer the mighty One of Jacob .

* 501 Thus saith the LORD Where is the bill of your mother's
divorcement whom I have put away or which of my creditors is it
to whom I have sold you Behold for your iniquities have ye sold
yourselves and for your transgressions is your mother put away .

502 Wherefore when I came was there no man when I called was
there none to answer Is my hand shortened at all that it cannot
redeem or have I no power to deliver behold at my rebuke I dry
up the sea I make the rivers a wilderness their fish stinketh
because there is no water and dieth for thirst .

503 I clothe the heavens with blackness and I make sackcloth
their covering .

504 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned that I
should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary
he wakeneth morning by morning he wakeneth mine ear to hear as
the learned .

505 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear and I was not rebellious
neither turned away back .

506 I gave my back to the smiters and my cheeks to them that
plucked off the hair I hid not my face from shame and spitting .

507 For the Lord GOD will help me therefore shall I not be
confounded therefore have I set my face like a flint and I know
that I shall not be ashamed .

508 He is near that justifieth me who will contend with me let
us stand together who is mine adversary let him come near to me .

509 Behold the Lord GOD will help me who is he that shall
condemn me lo they all shall wax old as a garment the moth shall
eat them up .

5010 Who is among you that feareth the LORD that obeyeth the
voice of his servant that walketh in darkness and hath no light
let him trust in the name of the LORD and stay upon his God .

5011 Behold all ye that kindle a fire that compass yourselves
about with sparks walk in the light of your fire and in the
sparks that ye have kindled This shall ye have of mine hand ye
shall lie down in sorrow .

* 511 Hearken to me ye that follow after righteousness ye that
seek the LORD look unto the rock whence ye are hewn and to the
hole of the pit whence ye are digged .

512 Look unto Abraham your father and unto Sarah that bare you
for I called him alone and blessed him and increased him .

513 For the LORD shall comfort Zion he will comfort all her
waste places and he will make her wilderness like Eden and her
desert like the garden of the LORD joy and gladness shall be
found therein thanksgiving and the voice of melody .

514 Hearken unto me my people and give ear unto me O my nation
for a law shall proceed from me and I will make my judgment to
rest for a light of the people .

515 My righteousness is near my salvation is gone forth and
mine arms shall judge the people the isles shall wait upon me
and on mine arm shall they trust .

516 Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look upon the earth
beneath for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke and the
earth shall wax old like a garment and they that dwell therein
shall die in like manner but my salvation shall be for ever and
my righteousness shall not be abolished .

517 Hearken unto me ye that know righteousness the people in
whose heart is my law fear ye not the reproach of men neither be
ye afraid of their revilings .

518 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment and the worm
shall eat them like wool but my righteousness shall be for ever
and my salvation from generation to generation .

519 Awake awake put on strength O arm of the LORD awake as in
the ancient days in the generations of old Art thou not it that
hath cut Rahab and wounded the dragon .

5110 Art thou not it which hath dried the sea the waters of the
great deep that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the
ransomed to pass over .

5111 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return and come
with singing unto Zion and everlasting joy shall be upon their
head they shall obtain gladness and joy and sorrow and mourning
shall flee away .

5112 I even I am he that comforteth you who art thou that thou
shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die and of the son of
man which shall be made as grass .

5113 And forgettest the LORD thy maker that hath stretched
forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth and hast
feared continually every day because of the fury of the
oppressor as if he were ready to destroy and where is the fury
of the oppressor .

5114 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed and that
he should not die in the pit nor that his bread should fail .

5115 But I am the LORD thy God that divided the sea whose waves
roared The LORD of hosts is his name .

5116 And I have put my words in thy mouth and I have covered
thee in the shadow of mine hand that I may plant the heavens and
lay the foundations of the earth and say unto Zion Thou art my
people .

5117 Awake awake stand up O Jerusalem which hast drunk at the
hand of the LORD the cup of his fury thou hast drunken the dregs
of the cup of trembling and wrung them out .

5118 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she
hath brought forth neither is there any that taketh her by the
hand of all the sons that she hath brought up .

5119 These two things are come unto thee who shall be sorry for
thee desolation and destruction and the famine and the sword by
whom shall I comfort thee .

5120 Thy sons have fainted they lie at the head of all the
streets as a wild bull in a net they are full of the fury of the
LORD the rebuke of thy God .

5121 Therefore hear now this thou afflicted and drunken but not
with wine .

5122 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD and thy God that pleadeth the
cause of his people Behold I have taken out of thine hand the
cup of trembling even the dregs of the cup of my fury thou shalt
no more drink it again .

5123 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee
which have said to thy soul Bow down that we may go over and
thou hast laid thy body as the ground and as the street to them
that went over .

* 521 Awake awake put on thy strength O Zion put on thy
beautiful garments O Jerusalem the holy city for henceforth
there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the
unclean .

522 Shake thyself from the dust arise and sit down O Jerusalem
loose thyself from the bands of thy neck O captive daughter of
Zion .

523 For thus saith the LORD Ye have sold yourselves for nought
and ye shall be redeemed without money .

524 For thus saith the Lord GOD My people went down aforetime
into Egypt to sojourn there and the Assyrian oppressed them
without cause .

525 Now therefore what have I here saith the LORD that my
people is taken away for nought they that rule over them make
them to howl saith the LORD and my name continually every day is
blasphemed .

526 Therefore my people shall know my name therefore they shall
know in that day that I am he that doth speak behold it is I .

527 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings that publisheth peace that bringeth good
tidings of good that publisheth salvation that saith unto Zion
Thy God reigneth .

528 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice with the voice
together shall they sing for they shall see eye to eye when the
LORD shall bring again Zion .

529 Break forth into joy sing together ye waste places of
Jerusalem for the LORD hath comforted his people he hath
redeemed Jerusalem .

5210 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all
the nations and all the ends of the earth shall see the
salvation of our God .

5211 Depart ye depart ye go ye out from thence touch no unclean
thing go ye out of the midst of her be ye clean that bear the
vessels of the LORD .

5212 For ye shall not go out with haste nor go by flight for
the LORD will go before you and the God of Israel will be your
rereward .

5213 Behold my servant shall deal prudently he shall be exalted
and extolled and be very high .

5214 As many were astonied at thee his visage was so marred
more than any man and his form more than the sons of men .

5215 So shall he sprinkle many nations the kings shall shut
their mouths at him for that which had not been told them shall
they see and that which they had not heard shall they consider .

* 531 Who hath believed our report and to whom is the arm of
the LORD revealed .

532 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a
root out of a dry ground he hath no form nor comeliness and when
we shall see him there is no beauty that we should desire him .

533 He is despised and rejected of men a man of sorrows and
acquainted with grief and we hid as it were our faces from him
he was despised and we esteemed him not .

534 Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows yet
we did esteem him stricken smitten of God and afflicted .

535 But he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised
for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him
and with his stripes we are healed .

536 All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one
to his own way and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all .

537 He was oppressed and he was afflicted yet he opened not his
mouth he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep
before her shearers is dumb so he openeth not his mouth .

538 He was taken from prison and from judgment and who shall
declare his generation for he was cut off out of the land of the
living for the transgression of my people was he stricken .

539 And he made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in
his death because he had done no violence neither was any deceit
in his mouth .

5310 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him he hath put him to
grief when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin he shall
see his seed he shall prolong his days and the pleasure of the
LORD shall prosper in his hand .

5311 He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be
satisfied by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify
many for he shall bear their iniquities .

5312 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and
he shall divide the spoil with the strong because he hath poured
out his soul unto death and he was numbered with the
transgressors and he bare the sin of many and made intercession
for the transgressors .

* 541 Sing O barren thou that didst not bear break forth into
singing and cry aloud thou that didst not travail with child for
more are the children of the desolate than the children of the
married wife saith the LORD .

542 Enlarge the place of thy tent and let them stretch forth
the curtains of thine habitations spare not lengthen thy cords
and strengthen thy stakes .

543 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the
left and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the
desolate cities to be inhabited .

544 Fear not for thou shalt not be ashamed neither be thou
confounded for thou shalt not be put to shame for thou shalt
forget the shame of thy youth and shalt not remember the
reproach of thy widowhood any more .

545 For thy Maker is thine husband the LORD of hosts is his
name and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel The God of the
whole earth shall he be called .

546 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and
grieved in spirit and a wife of youth when thou wast refused
saith thy God .

547 For a small moment have I forsaken thee but with great
mercies will I gather thee .

548 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment but
with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee saith the
LORD thy Redeemer .

549 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me for as I have
sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth
so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee nor rebuke
thee .

5410 For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed
but my kindness shall not depart from thee neither shall the
covenant of my peace be removed saith the LORD that hath mercy
on thee .

5411 O thou afflicted tossed with tempest and not comforted
behold I will lay thy stones with fair colours and lay thy
foundations with sapphires .

5412 And I will make thy windows of agates and thy gates of
carbuncles and all thy borders of pleasant stones .

5413 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD and great
shall be the peace of thy children .

5414 In righteousness shalt thou be established thou shalt be
far from oppression for thou shalt not fear and from terror for
it shall not come near thee .

5415 Behold they shall surely gather together but not by me
whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy
sake .

5416 Behold I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in
the fire and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work and
I have created the waster to destroy .

5417 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and
their righteousness is of me saith the LORD .

* 551 Ho every one that thirsteth come ye to the waters and he
that hath no money come ye buy and eat yea come buy wine and
milk without money and without price .

552 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread and
your labour for that which satisfieth not hearken diligently
unto me and eat ye that which is good and let your soul delight
itself in fatness .

553 Incline your ear and come unto me hear and your soul shall
live and I will make an everlasting covenant with you even the
sure mercies of David .

554 Behold I have given him for a witness to the people a
leader and commander to the people .

555 Behold thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not and
nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the
LORD thy God and for the Holy One of Israel for he hath
glorified thee .

556 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found call ye upon him
while he is near .

557 Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his
thoughts and let him return unto the LORD and he will have mercy
upon him and to our God for he will abundantly pardon .

558 For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways
my ways saith the LORD .

559 For as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways
higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts .

5510 For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven and
returneth not thither but watereth the earth and maketh it bring
forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to
the eater .

5511 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth it
shall not return unto me void but it shall accomplish that which
I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it .

5512 For ye shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace
the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into
singing and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands .

5513 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree and
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree and it shall
be to the LORD for a name for an everlasting sign that shall not
be cut off .

* 561 Thus saith the LORD Keep ye judgment and do justice for
my salvation is near to come and my righteousness to be revealed
.

562 Blessed is the man that doeth this and the son of man that
layeth hold on it that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it and
keepeth his hand from doing any evil .

563 Neither let the son of the stranger that hath joined
himself to the LORD speak saying The LORD hath utterly separated
me from his people neither let the eunuch say Behold I am a dry
tree .

564 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my
sabbaths and choose the things that please me and take hold of
my covenant .

565 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my
walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters I
will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off .

566 Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to the
LORD to serve him and to love the name of the LORD to be his
servants every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it
and taketh hold of my covenant .

567 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain and make them
joyful in my house of prayer their burnt offerings and their
sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar for mine house
shall be called an house of prayer for all people .

568 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith
Yet will I gather others to him beside those that are gathered
unto him .

569 All ye beasts of the field come to devour yea all ye beasts
in the forest .

5610 His watchmen are blind they are all ignorant they are all
dumb dogs they cannot bark sleeping lying down loving to slumber
.

5611 Yea they are greedy dogs which can never have enough and
they are shepherds that cannot understand they all look to their
own way every one for his gain from his quarter .

5612 Come ye say they I will fetch wine and we will fill
ourselves with strong drink and to morrow shall be as this day
and much more abundant .

* 571 The righteous perisheth and no man layeth it to heart and
merciful men are taken away none considering that the righteous
is taken away from the evil to come .

572 He shall enter into peace they shall rest in their beds
each one walking in his uprightness .

573 But draw near hither ye sons of the sorceress the seed of
the adulterer and the whore .

574 Against whom do ye sport yourselves against whom make ye a
wide mouth and draw out the tongue are ye not children of
transgression a seed of falsehood .

575 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree
slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the
rocks .

576 Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion they
they are thy lot even to them hast thou poured a drink offering
thou hast offered a meat offering Should I receive comfort in
these .

577 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed even
thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice .

578 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy
remembrance for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me
and art gone up thou hast enlarged thy bed and made thee a
covenant with them thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it .

579 And thou wentest to the king with ointment and didst
increase thy perfumes and didst send thy messengers far off and
didst debase thyself even unto hell .

5710 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way yet saidst
thou not There is no hope thou hast found the life of thine hand
therefore thou wast not grieved .

5711 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared that thou hast
lied and hast not remembered me nor laid it to thy heart have
not I held my peace even of old and thou fearest me not .

5712 I will declare thy righteousness and thy works for they
shall not profit thee .

5713 When thou criest let thy companies deliver thee but the
wind shall carry them all away vanity shall take them but he
that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land and shall
inherit my holy mountain .

5714 And shall say Cast ye up cast ye up prepare the way take
up the stumbling block out of the way of my people .

5715 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth
eternity whose name is Holy I dwell in the high and holy place
with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit to revive
the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite
ones .

5716 For I will not contend for ever neither will I be always
wroth for the spirit should fail before me and the souls which I
have made .

5717 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote
him I hid me and was wroth and he went on frowardly in the way
of his heart .

5718 I have seen his ways and will heal him I will lead him
also and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners .

5719 I create the fruit of the lips Peace peace to him that is
far off and to him that is near saith the LORD and I will heal
him .

5720 But the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot
rest whose waters cast up mire and dirt .

5721 There is no peace saith my God to the wicked .

* 581 Cry aloud spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet and
show my people their transgression and the house of Jacob their
sins .

582 Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways as a
nation that did righteousness and forsook not the ordinance of
their God they ask of me the ordinances of justice they take
delight in approaching to God .

583 Wherefore have we fasted say they and thou seest not
wherefore have we afflicted our soul and thou takest no
knowledge Behold in the day of your fast ye find pleasure and
exact all your labours .

584 Behold ye fast for strife and debate and to smite with the
fist of wickedness ye shall not fast as ye do this day to make
your voice to be heard on high .

585 Is it such a fast that I have chosen a day for a man to
afflict his soul is it to bow down his head as a bulrush and to
spread sackcloth and ashes under him wilt thou call this a fast
and an acceptable day to the LORD .

586 Is not this the fast that I have chosen to loose the bands
of wickedness to undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed
go free and that ye break every yoke .

587 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry and that thou
bring the poor that are cast out to thy house when thou seest
the naked that thou cover him and that thou hide not thyself
from thine own flesh .

588 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning and thine
health shall spring forth speedily and thy righteousness shall
go before thee the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward .

589 Then shalt thou call and the LORD shall answer thou shalt
cry and he shall say Here I am If thou take away from the midst
of thee the yoke the putting forth of the finger and speaking
vanity .

5810 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy
the afflicted soul then shall thy light rise in obscurity and
thy darkness be as the noon day .

5811 And the LORD shall guide thee continually and satisfy thy
soul in drought and make fat thy bones and thou shalt be like a
watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not .

5812 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste
places thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations
and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach The restorer
of paths to dwell in .

5813 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day and call the sabbath a delight the holy
of the LORD honourable and shalt honour him not doing thine own
ways nor finding thine own pleasure nor speaking thine own words
.

5814 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD and I will
cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and feed
thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father for the mouth of the
LORD hath spoken it .

* 591 Behold the LORD'S hand is not shortened that it cannot
save neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear .

592 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God
and your sins have hid his face from you that he will not hear .

593 For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with
iniquity your lips have spoken lies your tongue hath muttered
perverseness .

594 None calleth for justice nor any pleadeth for truth they
trust in vanity and speak lies they conceive mischief and bring
forth iniquity .

595 They hatch cockatrice' eggs and weave the spider's web he
that eateth of their eggs dieth and that which is crushed
breaketh out into a viper .

596 Their webs shall not become garments neither shall they
cover themselves with their works their works are works of
iniquity and the act of violence is in their hands .

597 Their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed innocent
blood their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity wasting and
destruction are in their paths .

598 The way of peace they know not and there is no judgment in
their goings they have made them crooked paths whosoever goeth
therein shall not know peace .

599 Therefore is judgment far from us neither doth justice
overtake us we wait for light but behold obscurity for
brightness but we walk in darkness .

5910 We grope for the wall like the blind and we grope as if we
had no eyes we stumble at noon day as in the night we are in
desolate places as dead men .

5911 We roar all like bears and mourn sore like doves we look
for judgment but there is none for salvation but it is far off
from us .

5912 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee and our
sins testify against us for our transgressions are with us and
as for our iniquities we know them .

5913 In transgressing and lying against the LORD and departing
away from our God speaking oppression and revolt conceiving and
uttering from the heart words of falsehood .

5914 And judgment is turned away backward and justice standeth
afar off for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot
enter .

5915 Yea truth faileth and he that departeth from evil maketh
himself a prey and the LORD saw it and it displeased him that
there was no judgment .

5916 And he saw that there was no man and wondered that there
was no intercessor therefore his arm brought salvation unto him
and his righteousness it sustained him .

5917 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate and an helmet
of salvation upon his head and he put on the garments of
vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a cloak .

5918 According to their deeds accordingly he will repay fury to
his adversaries recompense to his enemies to the islands he will
repay recompense .

5919 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west and
his glory from the rising of the sun When the enemy shall come
in like a flood the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard
against him .

5920 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion and unto them that
turn from transgression in Jacob saith the LORD .

5921 As for me this is my covenant with them saith the LORD My
spirit that is upon thee and my words which I have put in thy
mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth nor out of the mouth of
thy seed nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed saith the LORD
from henceforth and for ever .

* 601 Arise shine for thy light is come and the glory of the
LORD is risen upon thee .

602 For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross
darkness the people but the LORD shall arise upon thee and his
glory shall be seen upon thee .

603 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light and kings to the
brightness of thy rising .

604 Lift up thine eyes round about and see all they gather
themselves together they come to thee thy sons shall come from
far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side .

605 Then thou shalt see and flow together and thine heart shall
fear and be enlarged because the abundance of the sea shall be
converted unto thee the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto
thee .

606 The multitude of camels shall cover thee the dromedaries of
Midian and Ephah all they from Sheba shall come they shall bring
gold and incense and they shall show forth the praises of the
LORD .

607 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto
thee the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee they shall
come up with acceptance on mine altar and I will glorify the
house of my glory .

608 Who are these that fly as a cloud and as the doves to their
windows .

609 Surely the isles shall wait for me and the ships of
Tarshish first to bring thy sons from far their silver and their
gold with them unto the name of the LORD thy God and to the Holy
One of Israel because he hath glorified thee .

6010 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls and
their kings shall minister unto thee for in my wrath I smote
thee but in my favour have I had mercy on thee .

6011 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually they shall
not be shut day nor night that men may bring unto thee the
forces of the Gentiles and that their kings may be brought .

6012 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall
perish yea those nations shall be utterly wasted .

6013 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee the fir tree the
pine tree and the box together to beautify the place of my
sanctuary and I will make the place of my feet glorious .

6014 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come
bending unto thee and all they that despised thee shall bow
themselves down at the soles of thy feet and they shall call
thee The city of the LORD The Zion of the Holy One of Israel .

6015 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated so that no man
went through thee I will make thee an eternal excellency a joy
of many generations .

6016 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles and shalt
suck the breast of kings and thou shalt know that I the LORD am
thy Saviour and thy Redeemer the mighty One of Jacob .

6017 For brass I will bring gold and for iron I will bring
silver and for wood brass and for stones iron I will also make
thy officers peace and thine exactors righteousness .

6018 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land wasting nor
destruction within thy borders but thou shalt call thy walls
Salvation and thy gates Praise .

6019 The sun shall be no more thy light by day neither for
brightness shall the moon give light unto thee but the LORD
shall be unto thee an everlasting light and thy God thy glory .

6020 Thy sun shall no more go down neither shall thy moon
withdraw itself for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended .

6021 Thy people also shall be all righteous they shall inherit
the land for ever the branch of my planting the work of my hands
that I may be glorified .

6022 A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a
strong nation I the LORD will hasten it in his time .

* 611 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me because the LORD
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek he hath
sent me to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaim liberty to the
captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound .

612 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD and the day of
vengeance of our God to comfort all that mourn .

613 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion to give unto them
beauty for ashes the oil of joy for mourning the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness that they might be called
trees of righteousness the planting of the LORD that he might be
glorified .

614 And they shall build the old wastes they shall raise up the
former desolations and they shall repair the waste cities the
desolations of many generations .

615 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks and the sons
of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers .

616 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD men shall
call you the Ministers of our God ye shall eat the riches of the
Gentiles and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves .

617 For your shame ye shall have double and for confusion they
shall rejoice in their portion therefore in their land they
shall possess the double everlasting joy shall be unto them .

618 For I the LORD love judgment I hate robbery for burnt
offering and I will direct their work in truth and I will make
an everlasting covenant with them .

619 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles and their
offspring among the people all that see them shall acknowledge
them that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed .

6110 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD my soul shall be joyful
in my God for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation
he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness as a
bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments and as a bride
adorneth herself with her jewels .

6111 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud and as the garden
causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth so the
Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth
before all the nations .

* 621 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace and for
Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until the righteousness thereof
go forth as brightness and the salvation thereof as a lamp that
burneth .

622 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness and all kings
thy glory and thou shalt be called by a new name which the mouth
of the LORD shall name .

623 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD
and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God .

624 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken neither shall thy
land any more be termed Desolate but thou shalt be called
Hephzibah and thy land Beulah for the LORD delighteth in thee
and thy land shall be married .

625 For as a young man marrieth a virgin so shall thy sons
marry thee and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride so
shall thy God rejoice over thee .

626 I have set watchmen upon thy walls O Jerusalem which shall
never hold their peace day nor night ye that make mention of the
LORD keep not silence .

627 And give him no rest till he establish and till he make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth .

628 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his
strength Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for
thine enemies and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy
wine for the which thou hast laboured .

629 But they that have gathered it shall eat it and praise the
LORD and they that have brought it together shall drink it in
the courts of my holiness .

6210 Go through go through the gates prepare ye the way of the
people cast up cast up the highway gather out the stones lift up
a standard for the people .

6211 Behold the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world
Say ye to the daughter of Zion Behold thy salvation cometh
behold his reward is with him and his work before him .

6212 And they shall call them The holy people The redeemed of
the LORD and thou shalt be called Sought out A city not forsaken
.

* 631 Who is this that cometh from Edom with dyed garments from
Bozrah this that is glorious in his apparel travelling in the
greatness of his strength I that speak in righteousness mighty
to save .

632 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel and thy garments
like him that treadeth in the winefat .

633 I have trodden the winepress alone and of the people there
was none with me for I will tread them in mine anger and trample
them in my fury and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my
garments and I will stain all my raiment .

634 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart and the year of
my redeemed is come .

635 And I looked and there was none to help and I wondered that
there was none to uphold therefore mine own arm brought
salvation unto me and my fury it upheld me .

636 And I will tread down the people in mine anger and make
them drunk in my fury and I will bring down their strength to
the earth .

637 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD and the
praises of the LORD according to all that the LORD hath bestowed
on us and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he
hath bestowed on them according to his mercies and according to
the multitude of his lovingkindnesses .

638 For he said Surely they are my people children that will
not lie so he was their Saviour .

639 In all their affliction he was afflicted and the angel of
his presence saved them in his love and in his pity he redeemed
them and he bare them and carried them all the days of old .

6310 But they rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit therefore he
was turned to be their enemy and he fought against them .

6311 Then he remembered the days of old Moses and his people
saying Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the
shepherd of his flock where is he that put his holy Spirit
within him .

6312 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious
arm dividing the water before them to make himself an
everlasting name .

6313 That led them through the deep as an horse in the
wilderness that they should not stumble .

6314 As a beast goeth down into the valley the Spirit of the
LORD caused him to rest so didst thou lead thy people to make
thyself a glorious name .

6315 Look down from heaven and behold from the habitation of
thy holiness and of thy glory where is thy zeal and thy strength
the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me are they
restrained .

6316 Doubtless thou art our father though Abraham be ignorant
of us and Israel acknowledge us not thou O LORD art our father
our redeemer thy name is from everlasting .

6317 O LORD why hast thou made us to err from thy ways and
hardened our heart from thy fear Return for thy servants' sake
the tribes of thine inheritance .

6318 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little
while our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary .

6319 We are thine thou never barest rule over them they were
not called by thy name .

* 641 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens that thou wouldest
come down that the mountains might flow down at thy presence .

642 As when the melting fire burneth the fire causeth the
waters to boil to make thy name known to thine adversaries that
the nations may tremble at thy presence .

643 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for
thou camest down the mountains flowed down at thy presence .

644 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor
perceived by the ear neither hath the eye seen O God beside thee
what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him .

645 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness
those that remember thee in thy ways behold thou art wroth for
we have sinned in those is continuance and we shall be saved .

646 But we are all as an unclean thing and all our
righteousnesses are as filthy rags and we all do fade as a leaf
and our iniquities like the wind have taken us away .

647 And there is none that calleth upon thy name that stirreth
up himself to take hold of thee for thou hast hid thy face from
us and hast consumed us because of our iniquities .

648 But now O LORD thou art our father we are the clay and thou
our potter and we all are the work of thy hand .

649 Be not wroth very sore O LORD neither remember iniquity for
ever behold see we beseech thee we are all thy people .

6410 Thy holy cities are a wilderness Zion is a wilderness
Jerusalem a desolation .

6411 Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised
thee is burned up with fire and all our pleasant things are laid
waste .

6412 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things O LORD wilt
thou hold thy peace and afflict us very sore .

* 651 I am sought of them that asked not for me I am found of
them that sought me not I said Behold me behold me unto a nation
that was not called by my name .

652 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious
people which walketh in a way that was not good after their own
thoughts .

653 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face
that sacrificeth in gardens and burneth incense upon altars of
brick .

654 Which remain among the graves and lodge in the monuments
which eat swine's flesh and broth of abominable things is in
their vessels .

655 Which say Stand by thyself come not near to me for I am
holier than thou These are a smoke in my nose a fire that
burneth all the day .

656 Behold it is written before me I will not keep silence but
will recompense even recompense into their bosom .

657 Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together
saith the LORD which have burned incense upon the mountains and
blasphemed me upon the hills therefore will I measure their
former work into their bosom .

658 Thus saith the LORD As the new wine is found in the cluster
and one saith Destroy it not for a blessing is in it so will I
do for my servants' sakes that I may not destroy them all .

659 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob and out of Judah
an inheritor of my mountains and mine elect shall inherit it and
my servants shall dwell there .

6510 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks and the valley of
Achor a place for the herds to lie down in for my people that
have sought me .

6511 But ye are they that forsake the LORD that forget my holy
mountain that prepare a table for that troop and that furnish
the drink offering unto that number .

6512 Therefore will I number you to the sword and ye shall all
bow down to the slaughter because when I called ye did not
answer when I spake ye did not hear but did evil before mine
eyes and did choose that wherein I delighted not .

6513 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD Behold my servants shall
eat but ye shall be hungry behold my servants shall drink but ye
shall be thirsty behold my servants shall rejoice but ye shall
be ashamed .

6514 Behold my servants shall sing for joy of heart but ye
shall cry for sorrow of heart and shall howl for vexation of
spirit .

6515 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen
for the Lord GOD shall slay thee and call his servants by
another name .

6516 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless
himself in the God of truth and he that sweareth in the earth
shall swear by the God of truth because the former troubles are
forgotten and because they are hid from mine eyes .

6517 For behold I create new heavens and a new earth and the
former shall not be remembered nor come into mind .

6518 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create
for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoicing and her people a joy .

6519 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and joy in my people and
the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her nor the voice
of crying .

6520 There shall be no more thence an infant of days nor an old
man that hath not filled his days for the child shall die an
hundred years old but the sinner being an hundred years old
shall be accursed .

6521 And they shall build houses and inhabit them and they
shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them .

6522 They shall not build and another inhabit they shall not
plant and another eat for as the days of a tree are the days of
my people and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their
hands .

6523 They shall not labour in vain nor bring forth for trouble
for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD and their
offspring with them .

6524 And it shall come to pass that before they call I will
answer and while they are yet speaking I will hear .

6525 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together and the lion
shall eat straw like the bullock and dust shall be the serpent's
meat They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain
saith the LORD .

* 661 Thus saith the LORD The heaven is my throne and the earth
is my footstool where is the house that ye build unto me and
where is the place of my rest .

662 For all those things hath mine hand made and all those
things have been saith the LORD but to this man will I look even
to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and trembleth at my
word .

663 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man he that
sacrificeth a lamb as if he cut off a dog's neck he that
offereth an oblation as if he offered swine's blood he that
burneth incense as if he blessed an idol Yea they have chosen
their own ways and their soul delighteth in their abominations .

664 I also will choose their delusions and will bring their
fears upon them because when I called none did answer when I
spake they did not hear but they did evil before mine eyes and
chose that in which I delighted not .

665 Hear the word of the LORD ye that tremble at his word Your
brethren that hated you that cast you out for my name's sake
said Let the LORD be glorified but he shall appear to your joy
and they shall be ashamed .

666 A voice of noise from the city a voice from the temple a
voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies .

667 Before she travailed she brought forth before her pain came
she was delivered of a man child .

668 Who hath heard such a thing who hath seen such things Shall
the earth be made to bring forth in one day or shall a nation be
born at once for as soon as Zion travailed she brought forth her
children .

669 Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth
saith the LORD shall I cause to bring forth and shut the womb
saith thy God .

6610 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem and be glad with her all ye that
love her rejoice for joy with her all ye that mourn for her .

6611 That ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her
consolations that ye may milk out and be delighted with the
abundance of her glory .

6612 For thus saith the LORD Behold I will extend peace to her
like a river and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream
then shall ye suck ye shall be borne upon her sides and be
dandled upon her knees .

6613 As one whom his mother comforteth so will I comfort you
and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem .

6614 And when ye see this your heart shall rejoice and your
bones shall flourish like an herb and the hand of the LORD shall
be known toward his servants and his indignation toward his
enemies .

6615 For behold the LORD will come with fire and with his
chariots like a whirlwind to render his anger with fury and his
rebuke with flames of fire .

6616 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all
flesh and the slain of the LORD shall be many .

6617 They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the
gardens behind one tree in the midst eating swine's flesh and
the abomination and the mouse shall be consumed together saith
the LORD .

6618 For I know their works and their thoughts it shall come
that I will gather all nations and tongues and they shall come
and see my glory .

6619 And I will set a sign among them and I will send those
that escape of them unto the nations to Tarshish Pul and Lud
that draw the bow to Tubal and Javan to the isles afar off that
have not heard my fame neither have seen my glory and they shall
declare my glory among the Gentiles .

6620 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering
unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses and in chariots and
in litters and upon mules and upon swift beasts to my holy
mountain Jerusalem saith the LORD as the children of Israel
bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD .

6621 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites
saith the LORD .

6622 For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make
shall remain before me saith the LORD so shall your seed and
your name remain .

6623 And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to
another and from one sabbath to another shall all flesh come to
worship before me saith the LORD .

6624 And they shall go forth and look upon the carcases of the
men that have transgressed against me for their worm shall not
die neither shall their fire be quenched and they shall be an
abhorring unto all flesh .
