1 The vision2377 of Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz,531 which834 he saw2372 concerning5921 Judah3063 and Jerusalem3389 in the days3117 of Uzziah,5818 Jotham,3147 Ahaz,271 and Hezekiah,3169 kings4428 of Judah.3063
2 Hear,8085 O heavens,8064 and give ear,238 O earth:776 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken,1696 I have nourished1431 and brought up7311 children,1121 and they1992 have rebelled6586 against me.
3 The ox7794 knoweth3045 his owner,7069 and the ass2543 his master's1167 crib:18 but Israel3478 doth not3808 know,3045 my people5971 doth not3808 consider.995
4 Ah1945 sinful2398 nation,1471 a people5971 laden3515 with iniquity,5771 a seed2233 of evildoers,7489 children1121 that are corrupters:7843 they have forsaken5800 853 the LORD,3068 they have provoked5006 853 the Holy One6918 of Israel3478 unto anger, they are gone away2114 backward.268
5 Why5921 4100 should ye be stricken5221 any more?5750 ye will revolt5627 more and more:3254 the whole3605 head7218 is sick,2483 and the whole3605 heart3824 faint.1742
6 From the sole4480 3709 of the foot7272 even unto5704 the head7218 there is no369 soundness4974 in it; but wounds,6482 and bruises,2250 and putrefying2961 sores:4347 they have not3808 been closed,2115 neither3808 bound up,2280 neither3808 mollified7401 with ointment.8081
7 Your country776 is desolate,8077 your cities5892 are burned8313 with fire:784 your land,127 strangers2114 devour398 it in your presence,5048 and it is desolate,8077 as overthrown4114 by strangers.2114
8 And the daughter1323 of Zion6726 is left3498 as a cottage5521 in a vineyard,3754 as a lodge4412 in a garden of cucumbers,4750 as a besieged5341 city.5892
9 Except3884 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 had left3498 unto us a very small4592 remnant,8300 we should have been1961 as Sodom,5467 and we should have been like1819 unto Gomorrah.6017
10 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 ye rulers7101 of Sodom;5467 give ear238 unto the law8451 of our God,430 ye people5971 of Gomorrah.6017
11 To what4100 purpose is the multitude7230 of your sacrifices2077 unto me? saith559 the LORD:3068 I am full7646 of the burnt offerings5930 of rams,352 and the fat2459 of fed beasts;4806 and I delight2654 not3808 in the blood1818 of bullocks,6499 or of lambs,3532 or of he goats.6260
12 When3588 ye come935 to appear7200 before6440 me, who4310 hath required1245 this2063 at your hand,4480 3027 to tread7429 my courts?2691
13 Bring935 no3808 more3254 vain7723 oblations;4503 incense7004 is an abomination8441 unto me; the new moons2320 and sabbaths,7676 the calling7121 of assemblies,4744 I cannot3808 3201 away with; it is iniquity,205 even the solemn meeting.6116
14 Your new moons2320 and your appointed feasts4150 my soul5315 hateth:8130 they are1961 a trouble2960 unto me;5921 I am weary3811 to bear5375 them.
15 And when ye spread forth6566 your hands,3709 I will hide5956 mine eyes5869 from4480 you: yea,1571 when3588 ye make many7235 prayers,8605 I will not369 hear:8085 your hands3027 are full4390 of blood.1818
16 Wash7364 you, make you clean;2135 put away5493 the evil7455 of your doings4611 from before4480 5048 mine eyes;5869 cease2308 to do evil;7489
17 Learn3925 to do well;3190 seek1875 judgment,4941 relieve833 the oppressed,2541 judge8199 the fatherless,3490 plead7378 for the widow.490
18 Come1980 now,4994 and let us reason together,3198 saith559 the LORD:3068 though518 your sins2399 be1961 as scarlet,8144 they shall be as white3835 as snow;7950 though518 they be red119 like crimson,8438 they shall be1961 as wool.6785
19 If518 ye be willing14 and obedient,8085 ye shall eat398 the good2898 of the land:776
20 But if518 ye refuse3985 and rebel,4784 ye shall be devoured398 with the sword:2719 for3588 the mouth6310 of the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.
21 How349 is the faithful539 city7151 become1961 a harlot!2181 it was full4392 of judgment;4941 righteousness6664 lodged3885 in it; but now6258 murderers.7523
22 Thy silver3701 is become1961 dross,5509 thy wine5435 mixed4107 with water:4325
23 Thy princes8269 are rebellious,5637 and companions2270 of thieves:1590 every one3605 loveth157 gifts,7810 and followeth after7291 rewards:8021 they judge8199 not3808 the fatherless,3490 neither3808 doth the cause7379 of the widow490 come935 unto413 them.
24 Therefore3651 saith5002 the Lord,113 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the mighty One46 of Israel,3478 Ah,1945 I will ease5162 me of mine adversaries,4480 6862 and avenge5358 me of mine enemies:4480 341
25 And I will turn7725 my hand3027 upon5921 thee, and purely1252 purge away6884 thy dross,5509 and take away5493 all3605 thy tin:913
26 And I will restore7725 thy judges8199 as at the first,7223 and thy counselors3289 as at the beginning:8462 afterward310 3651 thou shalt be called,7121 The city5892 of righteousness,6664 the faithful539 city.7151
27 Zion6726 shall be redeemed6299 with judgment,4941 and her converts7725 with righteousness.6666
28 And the destruction7667 of the transgressors6586 and of the sinners2400 shall be together,3162 and they that forsake5800 the LORD3068 shall be consumed.3615
29 For3588 they shall be ashamed954 of the oaks4480 352 which834 ye have desired,2530 and ye shall be confounded2659 for the gardens4480 1593 that834 ye have chosen.977
30 For3588 ye shall be1961 as an oak424 whose leaf5929 fadeth,5034 and as a garden1593 that834 hath no369 water.4325
31 And the strong2634 shall be1961 as tow,5296 and the maker6467 of it as a spark,5213 and they shall both8147 burn1197 together,3162 and none369 shall quench3518 them.
1 The word1697 that834 Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz531 saw2372 concerning5921 Judah3063 and Jerusalem.3389
2 And it shall come to pass1961 in the last319 days,3117 that the mountain2022 of the LORD's3068 house1004 shall be1961 established3559 in the top7218 of the mountains,2022 and shall be exalted5375 above the hills;4480 1389 and all3605 nations1471 shall flow5102 unto413 it.
3 And many7227 people5971 shall go1980 and say,559 Come1980 ye, and let us go up5927 to413 the mountain2022 of the LORD,3068 to413 the house1004 of the God430 of Jacob;3290 and he will teach3384 us of his ways,4480 1870 and we will walk1980 in his paths:734 for3588 out of Zion4480 6726 shall go forth3318 the law,8451 and the word1697 of the LORD3068 from Jerusalem.4480 3389
4 And he shall judge8199 among996 the nations,1471 and shall rebuke3198 many7227 people:5971 and they shall beat3807 their swords2719 into plowshares,855 and their spears2595 into pruning hooks:4211 nation1471 shall not3808 lift up5375 sword2719 against413 nation,1471 neither3808 shall they learn3925 war4421 any more.5750
5 O house1004 of Jacob,3290 come1980 ye, and let us walk1980 in the light216 of the LORD.3068
6 Therefore3588 thou hast forsaken5203 thy people5971 the house1004 of Jacob,3290 because3588 they be replenished4390 from the east,4480 6924 and are soothsayers6049 like the Philistines,6430 and they please themselves5606 in the children3206 of strangers.5237
7 Their land776 also is full4390 of silver3701 and gold,2091 neither369 is there any end7097 of their treasures;214 their land776 is also full4390 of horses,5483 neither369 is there any end7097 of their chariots:4818
8 Their land776 also is full4390 of idols;457 they worship7812 the work4639 of their own hands,3027 that which834 their own fingers676 have made:6213
9 And the mean man120 boweth down,7817 and the great man376 humbleth8213 himself: therefore forgive5375 them not.408
10 Enter935 into the rock,6697 and hide2934 thee in the dust,6083 for4480 6440 fear6343 of the LORD,3068 and for the glory4480 1926 of his majesty.1347
11 The lofty1365 looks5869 of man120 shall be humbled,8213 and the haughtiness7312 of men376 shall be bowed down,7817 and the LORD3068 alone905 shall be exalted7682 in that1931 day.3117
12 For3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall be upon5921 every3605 one that is proud1343 and lofty,7311 and upon5921 every3605 one that is lifted up;5375 and he shall be brought low:8213
13 And upon5921 all3605 the cedars730 of Lebanon,3844 that are high7311 and lifted up,5375 and upon5921 all3605 the oaks437 of Bashan,1316
14 And upon5921 all3605 the high7311 mountains,2022 and upon5921 all3605 the hills1389 that are lifted up,5375
15 And upon5921 every3605 high1364 tower,4026 and upon5921 every3605 fenced1219 wall,2346
16 And upon5921 all3605 the ships591 of Tarshish,8659 and upon5921 all3605 pleasant2532 pictures.7914
17 And the loftiness1365 of man120 shall be bowed down,7817 and the haughtiness7312 of men376 shall be made low:8213 and the LORD3068 alone905 shall be exalted7682 in that1931 day.3117
18 And the idols457 he shall utterly3632 abolish.2498
19 And they shall go935 into the holes4631 of the rocks,6697 and into the caves4247 of the earth,6083 for4480 6440 fear6343 of the LORD,3068 and for the glory4480 1926 of his majesty,1347 when he ariseth6965 to shake terribly6206 the earth.776
20 In that1931 day3117 a man120 shall cast7993 853 his idols457 of silver,3701 and his idols457 of gold,2091 which834 they made6213 each one for himself to worship,7812 to the moles2661 6512 and to the bats;5847
21 To go935 into the clefts5366 of the rocks,6697 and into the tops5585 of the ragged rocks,5553 for4480 6440 fear6343 of the LORD,3068 and for the glory4480 1926 of his majesty,1347 when he ariseth6965 to shake terribly6206 the earth.776
22 Cease2308 ye from4480 man,120 whose834 breath5397 is in his nostrils:639 for3588 wherein4100 is he1931 to be accounted2803 of?
1 For,3588 behold,2009 the Lord,113 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 doth take away5493 from Jerusalem4480 3389 and from Judah4480 3063 the stay4937 and the staff,4938 the whole3605 stay4937 of bread,3899 and the whole3605 stay4937 of water,4325
2 The mighty1368 man, and the man376 of war,4421 the judge,8199 and the prophet,5030 and the prudent,7080 and the ancient,2205
3 The captain8269 of fifty,2572 and the honorable man,5375 6440 and the counselor,3289 and the cunning2450 artificer,2796 and the eloquent995 orator.3908
4 And I will give5414 children5288 to be their princes,8269 and babes8586 shall rule4910 over them.
5 And the people5971 shall be oppressed,5065 every one376 by another,376 and every one376 by his neighbor:7453 the child5288 shall behave himself proudly7292 against the ancient,2205 and the base7034 against the honorable.3513
6 When3588 a man376 shall take hold8610 of his brother251 of the house1004 of his father,1 saying, Thou hast clothing,8071 be1961 thou our ruler,7101 and let this2063 ruin4384 be under8478 thy hand:3027
7 In that1931 day3117 shall he swear,5375 saying,559 I will not3808 be1961 a healer;2280 for in my house1004 is neither369 bread3899 nor369 clothing:8071 make7760 me not3808 a ruler7101 of the people.5971
8 For3588 Jerusalem3389 is ruined,3782 and Judah3063 is fallen:5307 because3588 their tongue3956 and their doings4611 are against413 the LORD,3068 to provoke4784 the eyes5869 of his glory.3519
9 The show1971 of their countenance6440 doth witness6030 against them; and they declare5046 their sin2403 as Sodom,5467 they hide3582 it not.3808 Woe188 unto their soul!5315 for3588 they have rewarded1580 evil7451 unto themselves.
10 Say559 ye to the righteous,6662 that3588 it shall be well2895 with him: for3588 they shall eat398 the fruit6529 of their doings.4611
11 Woe188 unto the wicked!7563 it shall be ill7451 with him: for3588 the reward1576 of his hands3027 shall be given6213 him.
12 As for my people,5971 children5768 are their oppressors,5065 and women802 rule4910 over them. O my people,5971 they which lead833 thee cause thee to err,8582 and destroy1104 the way1870 of thy paths.734
13 The LORD3068 standeth up5324 to plead,7378 and standeth5975 to judge1777 the people.5971
14 The LORD3068 will enter935 into judgment4941 with5973 the ancients2205 of his people,5971 and the princes8269 thereof: for ye859 have eaten up1197 the vineyard;3754 the spoil1500 of the poor6041 is in your houses.1004
15 What mean ye4100 that ye beat my people to pieces,1792 5971 and grind2912 the faces6440 of the poor?6041 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3068 of hosts.6635
16 Moreover the LORD3068 saith,559 Because3282 3588 the daughters1323 of Zion6726 are haughty,1361 and walk1980 with stretched forth5186 necks1627 and wanton8265 eyes,5869 walking1980 and mincing2952 as they go,1980 and making a tinkling5913 with their feet:7272
17 Therefore the Lord136 will smite with a scab5596 the crown of the head6936 of the daughters1323 of Zion,6726 and the LORD3068 will discover6168 their secret parts.6596
18 In that1931 day3117 the Lord136 will take away5493 853 the bravery8597 of their tinkling ornaments5914 about their feet, and their cauls,7636 and their round tires7720 like the moon,
19 The chains,5188 and the bracelets,8285 and the mufflers,7479
20 The bonnets,6287 and the ornaments of the legs,6807 and the headbands,7196 and the tablets,1004 5315 and the earrings,3908
21 The rings,2885 and nose639 jewels,5141
22 The changeable suits of apparel,4254 and the mantles,4595 and the wimples,4304 and the crisping pins,2754
23 The glasses,1549 and the fine linen,5466 and the hoods,6797 and the veils.7289
24 And it shall come to pass,1961 that instead8478 of sweet smell1314 there shall be1961 stink;4716 and instead8478 of a girdle2290 a rent;5364 and instead8478 of well set4639 hair4748 baldness;7144 and instead8478 of a stomacher6614 a girding4228 of sackcloth;8242 and burning3587 instead8478 of beauty.3308
25 Thy men4962 shall fall5307 by the sword,2719 and thy mighty1369 in the war.4421
26 And her gates6607 shall lament578 and mourn;56 and she being desolate5352 shall sit3427 upon the ground.776
1 And in that1931 day3117 seven7651 women802 shall take hold2388 of one259 man,376 saying,559 We will eat398 our own bread,3899 and wear3847 our own apparel:8071 only7535 let us be called7121 by thy name,8034 to take622 away our reproach.2781
2 In that1931 day3117 shall the branch6780 of the LORD3068 be1961 beautiful6643 and glorious,3519 and the fruit6529 of the earth776 shall be excellent1347 and comely8597 for them that are escaped6413 of Israel.3478
3 And it shall come to pass,1961 that he that is left7604 in Zion,6726 and he that remaineth3498 in Jerusalem,3389 shall be called559 holy,6918 even every one3605 that is written3789 among the living2416 in Jerusalem:3389
4 When518 the Lord136 shall have washed away7364 853 the filth6675 of the daughters1323 of Zion,6726 and shall have purged1740 the blood1818 of Jerusalem3389 from the midst4480 7130 thereof by the spirit7307 of judgment,4941 and by the spirit7307 of burning.1197
5 And the LORD3068 will create1254 upon5921 every3605 dwelling place4349 of mount2022 Zion,6726 and upon5921 her assemblies,4744 a cloud6051 and smoke6227 by day,3119 and the shining5051 of a flaming3852 fire784 by night:3915 for3588 upon5921 all3605 the glory3519 shall be a defense.2646
6 And there shall be1961 a tabernacle5521 for a shadow6738 in the daytime3119 from the heat,4480 2721 and for a place of refuge,4268 and for a covert4563 from storm4480 2230 and from rain.4480 4306
1 Now4994 will I sing7891 to my well-beloved3039 a song7892 of my beloved1730 touching his vineyard.3754 My well-beloved3039 hath1961 a vineyard3754 in a very fruitful hill:1121 8081 7161
2 And he fenced5823 it, and gathered out the stones5619 thereof, and planted5193 it with the choicest vine,8321 and built1129 a tower4026 in the midst8432 of it, and also1571 made2672 a winepress3342 therein: and he looked6960 that it should bring forth6213 grapes,6025 and it brought forth6213 wild grapes.891
3 And now,6258 O inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 and men376 of Judah,3063 judge,8199 I pray you,4994 between996 me and my vineyard.3754
4 What4100 could have been done6213 more5750 to my vineyard,3754 that I have not3808 done6213 in it? wherefore,4069 when I looked6960 that it should bring forth6213 grapes,6025 brought it forth6213 wild grapes?891
5 And now6258 go to; I will tell3045 4994 you 853 what834 I589 will do6213 to my vineyard:3754 I will take away5493 the hedge4881 thereof, and it shall be1961 eaten up;1197 and break down6555 the wall1447 thereof, and it shall be1961 trodden down:4823
6 And I will lay7896 it waste:1326 it shall not3808 be pruned,2167 nor3808 digged;5737 but there shall come up5927 briers8068 and thorns:7898 I will also command6680 5921 the clouds5645 that they rain no rain4480 4305 4306 upon5921 it.
7 For3588 the vineyard3754 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is the house1004 of Israel,3478 and the men376 of Judah3063 his pleasant8191 plant:5194 and he looked6960 for judgment,4941 but behold2009 oppression;4939 for righteousness,6666 but behold2009 a cry.6818
8 Woe1945 unto them that join5060 house1004 to house,1004 that lay7126 field7704 to field,7704 till5704 there be no657 place,4725 that they may be placed3427 alone905 in the midst7130 of the earth!776
9 In mine ears241 said the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Of a truth518 3808 many7227 houses1004 shall be1961 desolate,8047 even great1419 and fair,2896 without4480 369 inhabitant.3427
10 Yea,3588 ten6235 acres6776 of vineyard3754 shall yield6213 one259 bath,1324 and the seed2233 of a homer2563 shall yield6213 an ephah.374
11 Woe1945 unto them that rise up early7925 in the morning,1242 that they may follow7291 strong drink;7941 that continue309 until night,5399 till wine3196 inflame1814 them!
12 And the harp,3658 and the viol,5035 the tabret,8596 and pipe,2485 and wine,3196 are1961 in their feasts:4960 but they regard5027 not3808 the work6467 of the LORD,3068 neither3808 consider7200 the operation4639 of his hands.3027
13 Therefore3651 my people5971 are gone into captivity,1540 because they have no4480 1097 knowledge:1847 and their honorable3519 men4962 are famished,7458 and their multitude1995 dried up6704 with thirst.6772
14 Therefore3651 hell7585 hath enlarged7337 herself,5315 and opened6473 her mouth6310 without1097 measure:2706 and their glory,1926 and their multitude,1995 and their pomp,7588 and he that rejoiceth,5938 shall descend3381 into it.
15 And the mean man120 shall be brought down,7817 and the mighty man376 shall be humbled,8213 and the eyes5869 of the lofty1364 shall be humbled:8213
16 But the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall be exalted1361 in judgment,4941 and God410 that is holy6918 shall be sanctified6942 in righteousness.6666
17 Then shall the lambs3532 feed7462 after their manner,1699 and the waste places2723 of the fat ones4220 shall strangers1481 eat.398
18 Woe1945 unto them that draw4900 iniquity5771 with cords2256 of vanity,7723 and sin2402 as it were with a cart5699 rope:5688
19 That say,559 Let him make speed,4116 and hasten2363 his work,4639 that4616 we may see7200 it: and let the counsel6098 of the Holy One6918 of Israel3478 draw nigh7126 and come,935 that we may know3045 it!
20 Woe1945 unto them that call559 evil7451 good,2896 and good2896 evil;7451 that put7760 darkness2822 for light,216 and light216 for darkness;2822 that put7760 bitter4751 for sweet,4966 and sweet4966 for bitter!4751
21 Woe1945 unto them that are wise2450 in their own eyes,5869 and prudent995 in5048 their own sight!6440
22 Woe1945 unto them that are mighty1368 to drink8354 wine,3196 and men376 of strength2428 to mingle4537 strong drink:7941
23 Which justify6663 the wicked7563 for6118 reward,7810 and take away5493 the righteousness6666 of the righteous6662 from4480 him!
24 Therefore3651 as the fire784 devoureth398 the stubble,7179 and the flame3852 consumeth7503 the chaff,2842 so their root8328 shall be1961 as rottenness,4716 and their blossom6525 shall go up5927 as dust:80 because3588 they have cast away3988 853 the law8451 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and despised5006 the word565 of the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
25 Therefore5921 3651 is the anger639 of the LORD3068 kindled2734 against his people,5971 and he hath stretched forth5186 his hand3027 against5921 them, and hath smitten5221 them: and the hills2022 did tremble,7264 and their carcasses5038 were torn1961 5478 in the midst7130 of the streets.2351 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not3808 turned away,7725 but his hand3027 is stretched out5186 still.5750
26 And he will lift up5375 an ensign5251 to the nations1471 from far,4480 7350 and will hiss8319 unto them from the end4480 7097 of the earth:776 and, behold,2009 they shall come935 with speed4120 swiftly:7031
27 None369 shall be weary5889 nor369 stumble3782 among them; none3808 shall slumber5123 nor3808 sleep;3462 neither3808 shall the girdle232 of their loins2504 be loosed,6605 nor3808 the latchet8288 of their shoes5275 be broken:5423
28 Whose834 arrows2671 are sharp,8150 and all3605 their bows7198 bent,1869 their horses'5483 hooves6541 shall be counted2803 like flint,6864 and their wheels1534 like a whirlwind:5492
29 Their roaring7581 shall be like a lion,3833 they shall roar7580 like young lions:3715 yea, they shall roar,5098 and lay hold270 of the prey,2964 and shall carry it away safe,6403 and none369 shall deliver5337 it.
30 And in that1931 day3117 they shall roar5098 against5921 them like the roaring5100 of the sea:3220 and if one look5027 unto the land,776 behold2009 darkness2822 and sorrow,6862 and the light216 is darkened2821 in the heavens6183 thereof.
1 In the year8141 that king4428 Uzziah5818 died4194 I saw7200 also 853 the Lord136 sitting3427 upon5921 a throne,3678 high7311 and lifted up,5375 and his train7757 filled4390 853 the temple.1964
2 Above4480 4605 it stood5975 the seraphims:8314 each one259 had six wings8337 3671 8337 3671 with twain8147 he covered3680 his face,6440 and with twain8147 he covered3680 his feet,7272 and with twain8147 he did fly.5774
3 And one cried7121 unto413 2088 another,2088 and said,559 Holy,6918 holy,6918 holy,6918 is the LORD3068 of hosts:6635 the whole3605 earth776 is full4393 of his glory.3519
4 And the posts520 of the door5592 moved5128 at the voice4480 6963 of him that cried,7121 and the house1004 was filled4390 with smoke.6227
5 Then said559 I, Woe188 is me! for3588 I am undone;1820 because3588 I589 am a man376 of unclean2931 lips,8193 and I589 dwell3427 in the midst8432 of a people5971 of unclean2931 lips:8193 for3588 mine eyes5869 have seen7200 853 the King,4428 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
6 Then flew5774 one259 of4480 the seraphims8314 unto413 me, having a live coal7531 in his hand,3027 which he had taken3947 with the tongs4457 from off4480 5921 the altar:4196
7 And he laid5060 it upon5921 my mouth,6310 and said,559 Lo,2009 this2088 hath touched5060 5921 thy lips;8193 and thine iniquity5771 is taken away,5493 and thy sin2403 purged.3722
8 Also I heard8085 853 the voice6963 of the Lord,136 saying,559 853 Whom4310 shall I send,7971 and who4310 will go1980 for us? Then said559 I, Here am I;2009 send7971 me.
9 And he said,559 Go,1980 and tell559 this2088 people,5971 Hear ye indeed,8085 8085 but understand995 not;408 and see ye indeed,7200 7200 but perceive3045 not.3808
10 Make the heart3820 of this2088 people5971 fat,8082 and make their ears241 heavy,3513 and shut8173 their eyes;5869 lest6435 they see7200 with their eyes,5869 and hear8085 with their ears,241 and understand995 with their heart,3824 and convert,7725 and be healed.7495
11 Then said559 I, Lord,136 how long?5704 4970 And he answered,559 Until5704 834 the cities5892 be wasted7582 without4480 369 inhabitant,3427 and the houses1004 without4480 369 man,120 and the land127 be utterly8077 desolate,7582
12 And the LORD3068 have removed men far away,7368 853 120 and there be a great7227 forsaking5805 in the midst7130 of the land.776
13 But yet5750 in it shall be a tenth,6224 and it shall return,7725 and shall be1961 eaten:1197 as a teil tree,424 and as an oak,437 whose834 substance4678 is in them, when they cast7995 their leaves: so the holy6944 seed2233 shall be the substance4678 thereof.
1 And it came to pass1961 in the days3117 of Ahaz271 the son1121 of Jotham,3147 the son1121 of Uzziah,5818 king4428 of Judah,3063 that Rezin7526 the king4428 of Syria,758 and Pekah6492 the son1121 of Remaliah,7425 king4428 of Israel,3478 went up5927 toward Jerusalem3389 to war4421 against5921 it, but could3201 not3808 prevail3898 against5921 it.
2 And it was told5046 the house1004 of David,1732 saying,559 Syria758 is confederate5117 with5921 Ephraim.669 And his heart3824 was moved,5128 and the heart3824 of his people,5971 as the trees6086 of the wood3293 are moved5128 with4480 6440 the wind.7307
3 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 Isaiah,3470 Go forth3318 now4994 to meet7121 Ahaz,271 thou,859 and Shear-jashub7610 thy son,1121 at413 the end7097 of the conduit8585 of the upper5945 pool1295 in413 the highway4546 of the fuller's3526 field;7704
4 And say559 unto413 him, Take heed,8104 and be quiet;8252 fear3372 not,408 neither408 be fainthearted7401 3824 for the two4480 8147 tails2180 of these428 smoking6226 firebrands,181 for the fierce2750 anger639 of Rezin7526 with Syria,758 and of the son1121 of Remaliah.7425
5 Because3282 3588 Syria,758 Ephraim,669 and the son1121 of Remaliah,7425 have taken evil7451 counsel3289 against5921 thee, saying,559
6 Let us go up5927 against Judah,3063 and vex6972 it, and let us make a breach1234 therein for413 us, and set a king4427 4428 in the midst8432 of it, even 853 the son1121 of Tabeal:2870
7 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 It shall not3808 stand,6965 neither3808 shall it come to pass.1961
8 For3588 the head7218 of Syria758 is Damascus,1834 and the head7218 of Damascus1834 is Rezin;7526 and within5750 threescore8346 and five2568 years8141 shall Ephraim669 be broken,2844 that it be not a people.4480 5971
9 And the head7218 of Ephraim669 is Samaria,8111 and the head7218 of Samaria8111 is Remaliah's7425 son.1121 If518 ye will not3808 believe,539 surely3588 ye shall not3808 be established.539
10 Moreover the LORD3068 spoke1696 again3254 unto413 Ahaz,271 saying,559
11 Ask7592 thee a sign226 of4480 5973 the LORD3068 thy God;430 ask7592 it either in the depth,6009 or176 in the height1361 above.4605
12 But Ahaz271 said,559 I will not3808 ask,7592 neither3808 will I tempt5254 853 the LORD.3068
13 And he said,559 Hear8085 ye now,4994 O house1004 of David;1732 Is it a small thing4592 for4480 you to weary3811 men,376 but3588 will ye weary3811 853 my God430 also?1571
14 Therefore3651 the Lord136 himself1931 shall give5414 you a sign;226 Behold,2009 a virgin5959 shall conceive,2029 and bear3205 a son,1121 and shall call7121 his name8034 Immanuel.6005
15 Butter2529 and honey1706 shall he eat,398 that he may know3045 to refuse3988 the evil,7451 and choose977 the good.2896
16 For3588 before2962 the child5288 shall know3045 to refuse3988 the evil,7451 and choose977 the good,2896 the land127 that834 thou859 abhorrest6973 shall be forsaken5800 of both8147 her kings.4428
17 The LORD3068 shall bring935 upon5921 thee, and upon5921 thy people,5971 and upon5921 thy father's1 house,1004 days3117 that834 have not3808 come,935 from the day4480 3117 that Ephraim669 departed5493 from4480 5921 Judah;3063 even 853 the king4428 of Assyria.804
18 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the LORD3068 shall hiss8319 for the fly2070 that834 is in the uttermost part7097 of the rivers2975 of Egypt,4714 and for the bee1682 that834 is in the land776 of Assyria.804
19 And they shall come,935 and shall rest5117 all3605 of them in the desolate1327 valleys,5158 and in the holes5357 of the rocks,5553 and upon all3605 thorns,5285 and upon all3605 bushes.5097
20 In the same1931 day3117 shall the Lord136 shave1548 with a razor8593 that is hired,7917 namely, by them beyond5676 the river,5104 by the king4428 of Assyria,804 853 the head,7218 and the hair8181 of the feet:7272 and it shall also1571 consume5595 853 the beard.2206
21 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that a man376 shall nourish2421 a young1241 cow,5697 and two8147 sheep;6629
22 And it shall come to pass,1961 for the abundance4480 7230 of milk2461 that they shall give6213 he shall eat398 butter:2529 for3588 butter2529 and honey1706 shall every one3605 eat398 that is left3498 in the land.776
23 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that every3605 place4725 shall be,1961 where8033 there were1961 a thousand505 vines1612 at a thousand505 silverlings,3701 it shall even be1961 for briers8068 and thorns.7898
24 With arrows2671 and with bows7198 shall men come935 thither;8033 because3588 all3605 the land776 shall become1961 briers8068 and thorns.7898
25 And on all3605 hills2022 that834 shall be digged5737 with the mattock,4576 there shall not3808 come935 thither8033 the fear3374 of briers8068 and thorns:7898 but it shall be1961 for the sending forth4916 of oxen,7794 and for the treading4823 of lesser cattle.7716
1 Moreover the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Take3947 thee a great1419 roll,1549 and write3789 in5921 it with a man's582 pen2747 concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.4122
2 And I took unto me faithful539 witnesses5707 to record,5749 853 Uriah223 the priest,3548 and Zechariah2148 the son1121 of Jeberechiah.3000
3 And I went7126 unto413 the prophetess;5031 and she conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son.1121 Then said559 the LORD3068 to413 me, Call7121 his name8034 Maher-shalal-hash-baz.4122
4 For3588 before2962 the child5288 shall have knowledge3045 to cry,7121 My father,1 and my mother,517 853 the riches2428 of Damascus1834 and the spoil7998 of Samaria8111 shall be taken away5375 before6440 the king4428 of Assyria.804
5 The LORD3068 spoke1696 also unto413 me again,3254 saying,559
6 Forasmuch3282 3588 as this2088 people5971 refuseth3988 853 the waters4325 of Shiloah7975 that go1980 softly,328 and rejoice in4885 853 Rezin7526 and Remaliah's7425 son;1121
7 Now therefore,3651 behold,2009 the Lord136 bringeth up5927 upon5921 them 853 the waters4325 of the river,5104 strong6099 and many,7227 even 853 the king4428 of Assyria,804 and all3605 his glory:3519 and he shall come up5927 over5921 all3605 his channels,650 and go1980 over5921 all3605 his banks:1415
8 And he shall pass2498 through Judah;3063 he shall overflow7857 and go over,5674 he shall reach5060 even to5704 the neck;6677 and the stretching out4298 of his wings3671 shall fill4393 the breadth7341 of thy land,776 O Immanuel.6005
9 Associate7489 yourselves, O ye people,5971 and ye shall be broken2844 in pieces; and give ear,238 all3605 ye of far4801 countries:776 gird yourselves,247 and ye shall be broken2844 in pieces; gird yourselves,247 and ye shall be broken2844 in pieces.
10 Take counsel together5779 6098 and it shall come to naught;6565 speak1696 the word,1697 and it shall not3808 stand:6965 for3588 God410 is with us.5973
11 For3588 the LORD3068 spoke559 thus3541 to413 me with a strong2393 hand,3027 and instructed3256 me that I should not walk4480 1980 in the way1870 of this2088 people,5971 saying,559
12 Say559 ye not,3808 A confederacy,7195 to all3605 them to whom834 this2088 people5971 shall say,559 A confederacy;7195 neither3808 fear3372 ye their fear,4172 nor3808 be afraid.6206
13 Sanctify6942 853 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 himself; and let him1931 be your fear,4172 and let him1931 be your dread.6206
14 And he shall be1961 for a sanctuary;4720 but for a stone68 of stumbling5063 and for a rock6697 of offense4383 to both8147 the houses1004 of Israel,3478 for a gin6341 and for a snare4170 to the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem.3389
15 And many7227 among them shall stumble,3782 and fall,5307 and be broken,7665 and be snared,3369 and be taken.3920
16 Bind up6887 the testimony,8584 seal2856 the law8451 among my disciples.3928
17 And I will wait2442 upon the LORD,3068 that hideth5641 his face6440 from the house4480 1004 of Jacob,3290 and I will look6960 for him.
18 Behold,2009 I595 and the children3206 whom834 the LORD3068 hath given5414 me are for signs226 and for wonders4159 in Israel3478 from4480 5973 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 which dwelleth7931 in mount2022 Zion.6726
19 And when3588 they shall say559 unto413 you, Seek1875 unto413 them that have familiar spirits,178 and unto413 wizards3049 that peep,6850 and that mutter:1897 should not3808 a people5971 seek1875 unto413 their God?430 for1157 the living2416 to413 the dead?4191
20 To the law8451 and to the testimony:8584 if518 they speak559 not3808 according to this2088 word,1697 it is because834 there is no369 light7837 in them.
21 And they shall pass5674 through it, hard pressed7185 and hungry:745 and it shall come to pass,1961 that when3588 they shall be hungry,7456 they shall fret themselves,7107 and curse7043 their king4428 and their God,430 and look6437 upward.4605
22 And they shall look5027 unto413 the earth;776 and behold2009 trouble6869 and darkness,2825 dimness4588 of anguish;6695 and they shall be driven5080 to darkness.653
1 Nevertheless3588 the dimness4155 shall not3808 be such as834 was in her vexation,4164 when6256 at the first7223 he lightly afflicted7043 the land776 of Zebulun2074 and the land776 of Naphtali,5321 and afterward314 did more grievously afflict3513 her by the way1870 of the sea,3220 beyond5676 Jordan,3383 in Galilee1551 of the nations.1471
2 The people5971 that walked1980 in darkness2822 have seen7200 a great1419 light:216 they that dwell3427 in the land776 of the shadow of death,6757 upon5921 them hath the light216 shined.5050
3 Thou hast multiplied7235 the nation,1471 and not3808 increased1431 the joy:8057 they joy8055 before6440 thee according to the joy8057 in harvest,7105 and as834 men rejoice1523 when they divide2505 the spoil.7998
4 For3588 thou hast broken2865 853 the yoke5923 of his burden,5448 and the staff4294 of his shoulder,7926 the rod7626 of his oppressor,5065 as in the day3117 of Midian.4080
5 For3588 every3605 battle5430 of the warrior5431 is with confused noise,7494 and garments8071 rolled1556 in blood;1818 but this shall be1961 with burning8316 and fuel3980 of fire.784
6 For3588 unto us a child3206 is born,3205 unto us a son1121 is given:5414 and the government4951 shall be upon5921 his shoulder:7926 and his name8034 shall be1961 called7121 Wonderful,6382 Counselor,3289 The mighty1368 God,410 The everlasting5703 Father,1 The Prince8269 of Peace.7965
7 Of the increase4766 of his government4951 and peace7965 there shall be no369 end,7093 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 and upon5921 his kingdom,4467 to order3559 it, and to establish5582 it with judgment4941 and with justice6666 from henceforth4480 6258 even forever.5704 5769 The zeal7068 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 will perform6213 this.2063
8 The Lord136 sent7971 a word1697 into Jacob,3290 and it hath lighted5307 upon Israel.3478
9 And all3605 the people5971 shall know,3045 even Ephraim669 and the inhabitant3427 of Samaria,8111 that say559 in the pride1346 and stoutness1433 of heart,3824
10 The bricks3843 are fallen down,5307 but we will build1129 with hewn stones:1496 the sycamores8256 are cut down,1438 but we will change2498 them into cedars.730
11 Therefore the LORD3068 shall set up7682 853 the adversaries6862 of Rezin7526 against5921 him, and join his enemies together;5526 853 341
12 The Syrians758 before,4480 6924 and the Philistines6430 behind;4480 268 and they shall devour398 853 Israel3478 with open3605 mouth.6310 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not3808 turned away,7725 but his hand3027 is stretched out5186 still.5750
13 For the people5971 turneth7725 not3808 unto5704 him that smiteth5221 them, neither3808 do they seek1875 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
14 Therefore the LORD3068 will cut off3772 from Israel4480 3478 head7218 and tail,2180 branch3712 and rush,100 in one259 day.3117
15 The ancient2205 and honorable,5375 6440 he1931 is the head;7218 and the prophet5030 that teacheth3384 lies,8267 he1931 is the tail.2180
16 For the leaders833 of this2088 people5971 cause them to err;8582 and they that are led833 of them are destroyed.1104
17 Therefore5921 3651 the Lord136 shall have no3808 joy8055 in5921 their young men,970 neither3808 shall have mercy7355 on their fatherless3490 and widows:490 for3588 every one3605 is a hypocrite2611 and an evildoer,7489 and every3605 mouth6310 speaketh1696 folly.5039 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not3808 turned away,7725 but his hand3027 is stretched out5186 still.5750
18 For3588 wickedness7564 burneth1197 as the fire:784 it shall devour398 the briers8068 and thorns,7898 and shall kindle3341 in the thickets5442 of the forest,3293 and they shall mount up55 like the lifting up1348 of smoke.6227
19 Through the wrath5678 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is the land776 darkened,6272 and the people5971 shall be1961 as the fuel3980 of the fire:784 no3808 man376 shall spare2550 413 his brother.251
20 And he shall snatch1504 on5921 the right hand,3225 and be hungry;7456 and he shall eat398 on5921 the left hand,8040 and they shall not3808 be satisfied:7646 they shall eat398 every man376 the flesh1320 of his own arm:2220
21 Manasseh,4519 853 Ephraim;669 and Ephraim,669 853 Manasseh:4519 and they1992 together3162 shall be against5921 Judah.3063 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not3808 turned away,7725 but his hand3027 is stretched out5186 still.5750
1 Woe1945 unto them that decree2710 unrighteous205 decrees,2711 and that write3789 grievousness5999 which they have prescribed;3789
2 To turn aside5186 the needy1800 from judgment,4480 1779 and to take away1497 the right4941 from the poor6041 of my people,5971 that widows490 may be1961 their prey,7998 and that they may rob962 the fatherless!3490
3 And what4100 will ye do6213 in the day3117 of visitation,6486 and in the desolation7722 which shall come935 from far?4480 4801 to5921 whom4310 will ye flee5127 for help?5833 and where575 will ye leave5800 your glory?3519
4 Without1115 me they shall bow down3766 under8478 the prisoners,616 and they shall fall5307 under8478 the slain.2026 For all3605 this2063 his anger639 is not3808 turned away,7725 but his hand3027 is stretched out5186 still.5750
5 O Assyrian,804 the rod7626 of mine anger,639 and the staff4294 in their hand3027 is mine indignation.2195
6 I will send7971 him against a hypocritical2611 nation,1471 and against5921 the people5971 of my wrath5678 will I give him a charge,6680 to take7997 the spoil,7998 and to take962 the prey,957 and to tread them down4823 like the mire2563 of the streets.2351
7 Howbeit he1931 meaneth1819 not3808 so,3651 neither3808 doth his heart3824 think2803 so;3651 but3588 it is in his heart3824 to destroy8045 and cut off3772 nations1471 not3808 a few.4592
8 For3588 he saith,559 Are not3808 my princes8269 altogether3162 kings?4428
9 Is not3808 Calno3641 as Carchemish?3751 is not3808 Hamath2574 as Arpad?774 is not3808 Samaria8111 as Damascus?1834
10 As834 my hand3027 hath found4672 the kingdoms4467 of the idols,457 and whose graven images6456 did excel them of Jerusalem4480 3389 and of Samaria;4480 8111
11 Shall I not,3808 as834 I have done6213 unto Samaria8111 and her idols,457 so3651 do6213 to Jerusalem3389 and her idols?6091
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass,1961 that when3588 the Lord136 hath performed1214 his 853 whole3605 work4639 upon mount2022 Zion6726 and on Jerusalem,3389 I will punish6485 5921 the fruit6529 of the stout1433 heart3824 of the king4428 of Assyria,804 and5921 the glory8597 of his high7312 looks.5869
13 For3588 he saith,559 By the strength3581 of my hand3027 I have done6213 it, and by my wisdom;2451 for3588 I am prudent:995 and I have removed5493 the bounds1367 of the people,5971 and have robbed8154 their treasures,6259 and I have put down3381 the inhabitants3427 like a valiant47 man:
14 And my hand3027 hath found4672 as a nest7064 the riches2428 of the people:5971 and as one gathereth622 eggs1000 that are left,5800 have I589 gathered622 all3605 the earth;776 and there was1961 none3808 that moved5074 the wing,3671 or opened6475 the mouth,6310 or peeped.6850
15 Shall the axe1631 boast itself6286 against5921 him that heweth2672 therewith? or shall the saw4883 magnify itself1431 against5921 him that shaketh5130 it? as if the rod7626 should shake itself against5130 853 them that lift it up,7311 or as if the staff4294 should lift up7311 itself, as if it were no3808 wood.6086
16 Therefore3651 shall the Lord,113 the Lord3068 of hosts,6635 send7971 among his fat ones4924 leanness;7332 and under8478 his glory3519 he shall kindle3344 a burning3350 like the burning3350 of a fire.784
17 And the light216 of Israel3478 shall be1961 for a fire,784 and his Holy One6918 for a flame:3852 and it shall burn1197 and devour398 his thorns7898 and his briers8068 in one259 day;3117
18 And shall consume3615 the glory3519 of his forest,3293 and of his fruitful field,3759 both soul4480 5315 and body:1320 and they shall be1961 as when a standard-bearer5263 fainteth.4549
19 And the rest7605 of the trees6086 of his forest3293 shall be1961 few,4557 that a child5288 may write3789 them.
20 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the remnant7605 of Israel,3478 and such as are escaped6413 of the house1004 of Jacob,3290 shall no3808 more5750 again3254 stay8172 upon5921 him that smote5221 them; but shall stay8172 upon5921 the LORD,3068 the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 in truth.571
21 The remnant7605 shall return,7725 even the remnant7605 of Jacob,3290 unto413 the mighty1368 God.410
22 For3588 though518 thy people5971 Israel3478 be1961 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 yet a remnant7605 of them shall return:7725 the consumption3631 decreed2782 shall overflow7857 with righteousness.6666
23 For3588 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 shall make6213 a consumption,3617 even determined,2782 in the midst7130 of all3605 the land.776
24 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 O my people5971 that dwellest3427 in Zion,6726 be not408 afraid3372 of the Assyrian:4480 804 he shall smite5221 thee with a rod,7626 and shall lift up5375 his staff4294 against5921 thee, after the manner1870 of Egypt.4714
25 For3588 yet5750 a very4213 little4592 while, and the indignation2195 shall cease,3615 and mine anger639 in5921 their destruction.8399
26 And the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall stir up5782 a scourge7752 for5921 him according to the slaughter4347 of Midian4080 at the rock6697 of Oreb:6159 and as his rod4294 was upon5921 the sea,3220 so shall he lift it up5375 after the manner1870 of Egypt.4714
27 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that his burden5448 shall be taken away5493 from off4480 5921 thy shoulder,7926 and his yoke5923 from off4480 5921 thy neck,6677 and the yoke5923 shall be destroyed2254 because4480 6440 of the anointing.8081
28 He is come935 to5921 Aiath,5857 he is passed5674 to Migron;4051 at Michmash4363 he hath laid up6485 his carriages:3627
29 They are gone over5674 the passage:4569 they have taken up their lodging4411 at Geba;1387 Ramah7414 is afraid;2729 Gibeah1390 of Saul7586 is fled.5127
30 Lift up6670 thy voice,6963 O daughter1323 of Gallim:1554 cause it to be heard7181 unto Laish,3919 O poor6041 Anathoth.6068
31 Madmenah4088 is removed;5074 the inhabitants3427 of Gebim1374 gather themselves to flee.5756
32 As yet5750 shall he remain5975 at Nob5011 that day:3117 he shall shake5130 his hand3027 against the mount2022 of the daughter1004 of Zion,6726 the hill1389 of Jerusalem.3389
33 Behold,2009 the Lord,113 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 shall lop5586 the bough6288 with terror:4637 and the high ones7312 of stature6967 shall be hewn down,1438 and the haughty1364 shall be humbled.8213
34 And he shall cut down5362 the thickets5442 of the forest3293 with iron,1270 and Lebanon3844 shall fall5307 by a mighty one.117
1 And there shall come forth3318 a rod2415 out of the stem4480 1503 of Jesse,3448 and a Branch5342 shall grow6509 out of his roots:4480 8328
2 And the spirit7307 of the LORD3068 shall rest5117 upon5921 him, the spirit7307 of wisdom2451 and understanding,998 the spirit7307 of counsel6098 and might,1369 the spirit7307 of knowledge1847 and of the fear3374 of the LORD;3068
3 And shall make him of quick understanding7306 in the fear3374 of the LORD:3068 and he shall not3808 judge8199 after the sight4758 of his eyes,5869 neither3808 reprove3198 after the hearing4926 of his ears:241
4 But with righteousness6664 shall he judge8199 the poor,1800 and reprove3198 with equity4334 for the meek6035 of the earth:776 and he shall smite5221 the earth776 with the rod7626 of his mouth,6310 and with the breath7307 of his lips8193 shall he slay4191 the wicked.7563
5 And righteousness6664 shall be1961 the girdle232 of his loins,4975 and faithfulness530 the girdle232 of his reins.2504
6 The wolf2061 also shall dwell1481 with5973 the lamb,3532 and the leopard5246 shall lie down7257 with5973 the kid;1423 and the calf5695 and the young lion3715 and the fatling4806 together;3162 and a little6996 child5288 shall lead5090 them.
7 And the cow6510 and the bear1677 shall feed;7462 their young ones3206 shall lie down7257 together:3162 and the lion738 shall eat398 straw8401 like the ox.1241
8 And the sucking3243 child shall play8173 on5921 the hole2352 of the asp,6620 and the weaned child1580 shall put1911 his hand3027 on5921 the cockatrice's6848 den.3975
9 They shall not3808 hurt7489 nor3808 destroy7843 in all3605 my holy6944 mountain:2022 for3588 the earth776 shall be full4390 of the knowledge1844 of 853 the LORD,3068 as the waters4325 cover3680 the sea.3220
10 And in that1931 day3117 there shall be1961 a root8328 of Jesse,3448 which834 shall stand5975 for an ensign5251 of the people;5971 to413 it shall the Gentiles1471 seek:1875 and his rest4496 shall be1961 glorious.3519
11 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the Lord136 shall set his hand3027 again3254 the second time8145 to recover7069 853 the remnant7605 of his people,5971 which834 shall be left,7604 from Assyria,4480 804 and from Egypt,4480 4714 and from Pathros,4480 6624 and from Cush,4480 3568 and from Elam,4480 5867 and from Shinar,4480 8152 and from Hamath,4480 2574 and from the islands4480 339 of the sea.3220
12 And he shall set up5375 an ensign5251 for the nations,1471 and shall assemble622 the outcasts5080 of Israel,3478 and gather together6908 the dispersed5310 of Judah3063 from the four4480 702 corners3671 of the earth.776
13 The envy7068 also of Ephraim669 shall depart,5493 and the adversaries6887 of Judah3063 shall be cut off:3772 Ephraim669 shall not3808 envy7065 853 Judah,3063 and Judah3063 shall not3808 vex6887 853 Ephraim.669
14 But they shall fly5774 upon the shoulders3802 of the Philistines6430 toward the west;3220 they shall spoil962 853 them1121 of the east6924 together:3162 they shall lay4916 their hand3027 upon Edom123 and Moab;4124 and the children1121 of Ammon5983 shall obey4928 them.
15 And the LORD3068 shall utterly destroy2763 853 the tongue3956 of the Egyptian4714 sea;3220 and with his mighty5868 wind7307 shall he shake5130 his hand3027 over5921 the river,5104 and shall smite5221 it in the seven7651 streams,5158 and make men go over1869 dry-shod.5275
16 And there shall be1961 a highway4546 for the remnant7605 of his people,5971 which834 shall be left,7604 from Assyria;4480 804 like as834 it was1961 to Israel3478 in the day3117 that he came up5927 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt.4714
1 And in that1931 day3117 thou shalt say,559 O LORD,3068 I will praise3034 thee: though3588 thou wast angry599 with me, thine anger639 is turned away,7725 and thou comfortedst5162 me.
2 Behold,2009 God410 is my salvation;3444 I will trust,982 and not3808 be afraid:6342 for3588 the LORD3050 JEHOVAH3068 is my strength5797 and my song;2176 he also is become1961 my salvation.3444
3 Therefore with joy8342 shall ye draw7579 water4325 out of the wells4480 4599 of salvation.3444
4 And in that1931 day3117 shall ye say,559 Praise3034 the LORD,3068 call7121 upon his name,8034 declare3045 his doings5949 among the people,5971 make mention2142 that3588 his name8034 is exalted.7682
5 Sing2167 unto the LORD;3068 for3588 he hath done6213 excellent things:1348 this2063 is known3045 in all3605 the earth.776
6 Cry out6670 and shout,7442 thou inhabitant3427 of Zion:6726 for3588 great1419 is the Holy One6918 of Israel3478 in the midst7130 of thee.
1 The burden4853 of Babylon,894 which834 Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz531 did see.2372
2 Lift ye up5375 a banner5251 upon5921 the high8192 mountain,2022 exalt7311 the voice6963 unto them, shake5130 the hand,3027 that they may go935 into the gates6607 of the nobles.5081
3 I589 have commanded6680 my sanctified ones,6942 I have also1571 called7121 my mighty ones1368 for mine anger,639 even them that rejoice5947 in my highness.1346
4 The noise6963 of a multitude1995 in the mountains,2022 like1823 as of a great7227 people;5971 a tumultuous7588 noise6963 of the kingdoms4467 of nations1471 gathered together:622 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 mustereth6485 the host6635 of the battle.4421
5 They come935 from a far country,4480 4801 776 from the end4480 7097 of heaven,8064 even the LORD,3068 and the weapons3627 of his indignation,2195 to destroy2254 the whole3605 land.776
6 Howl3213 ye; for3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 is at hand;7138 it shall come935 as a destruction7701 from the Almighty.4480 7706
7 Therefore5921 3651 shall all3605 hands3027 be faint,7503 and every3605 man's582 heart3824 shall melt:4549
8 And they shall be afraid:926 pangs6735 and sorrows2256 shall take hold270 of them; they shall be in pain2342 as a woman that travaileth:3205 they shall be amazed8539 one376 at413 another;7453 their faces6440 shall be as flames.6440 3851
9 Behold,2009 the day3117 of the LORD3068 cometh,935 cruel394 both with wrath5678 and fierce2740 anger,639 to lay7760 the land776 desolate:8047 and he shall destroy8045 the sinners2400 thereof out of4480 it.
10 For3588 the stars3556 of heaven8064 and the constellations3685 thereof shall not3808 give1984 their light:216 the sun8121 shall be darkened2821 in his going forth,3318 and the moon3394 shall not3808 cause her light216 to shine.5050
11 And I will punish6485 the world8398 for5921 their evil,7451 and the wicked7563 for5921 their iniquity;5771 and I will cause the arrogance1347 of the proud2086 to cease,7673 and will lay low8213 the haughtiness1346 of the terrible.6184
12 I will make a man582 more precious3365 than fine gold;4480 6337 even a man120 than the golden wedge4480 3800 of Ophir.211
13 Therefore5921 3651 I will shake7264 the heavens,8064 and the earth776 shall remove7493 out of her place,4480 4725 in the wrath5678 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and in the day3117 of his fierce2740 anger.639
14 And it shall be1961 as the chased5080 roe,6643 and as a sheep6629 that no369 man taketh up:6908 they shall every man376 turn6437 to413 his own people,5971 and flee5127 every one376 into413 his own land.776
15 Every one3605 that is found4672 shall be thrust through;1856 and every one3605 that is joined5595 unto them shall fall5307 by the sword.2719
16 Their children5768 also shall be dashed7376 to pieces before their eyes;5869 their houses1004 shall be spoiled,8155 and their wives802 ravished.7693
17 Behold,2009 I will stir up5782 853 the Medes4074 against5921 them, which834 shall not3808 regard2803 silver;3701 and as for gold,2091 they shall not3808 delight2654 in it.
18 Their bows7198 also shall dash7376 the young men5288 to pieces; and they shall have no3808 pity7355 on the fruit6529 of the womb;990 their eye5869 shall not3808 spare2347 5921 children.1121
19 And Babylon,894 the glory6643 of kingdoms,4467 the beauty8597 of the Chaldees'3778 excellency,1347 shall be1961 as when God430 overthrew4114 853 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah.6017
20 It shall never3808 5331 be inhabited,3427 neither3808 shall it be dwelt7931 in from generation1755 to5704 generation:1755 neither3808 shall the Arabian6163 pitch tent167 there;8033 neither3808 shall the shepherds7462 make their fold7257 there.8033
21 But wild beasts of the desert6728 shall lie7257 there;8033 and their houses1004 shall be full4390 of doleful creatures;255 and owls1323 3284 shall dwell7931 there,8033 and satyrs8163 shall dance7540 there.8033
22 And the wild beasts of the islands338 shall cry6030 in their desolate houses,490 and dragons8577 in their pleasant6027 palaces:1964 and her time6256 is near7138 to come,935 and her days3117 shall not3808 be prolonged.4900
1 For3588 the LORD3068 will have mercy7355 on 853 Jacob,3290 and will yet5750 choose977 Israel,3478 and set5117 them in5921 their own land:127 and the strangers1616 shall be joined3867 with5921 them, and they shall cleave5596 to5921 the house1004 of Jacob.3290
2 And the people5971 shall take3947 them, and bring935 them to413 their place:4725 and the house1004 of Israel3478 shall possess5157 them in5921 the land127 of the LORD3068 for servants5650 and handmaids:8198 and they shall take1961 them captives,7617 whose captives7617 they were; and they shall rule over7287 their oppressors.5065
3 And it shall come to pass1961 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 shall give thee rest5117 from thy sorrow,4480 6090 and from thy fear,4480 7267 and from4480 the hard7186 bondage5656 wherein834 thou wast made to serve,5647
4 That thou shalt take up5375 this2088 proverb4912 against5921 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and say,559 How349 hath the oppressor5065 ceased!7673 the golden city4062 ceased!7673
5 The LORD3068 hath broken7665 the staff4294 of the wicked,7563 and the scepter7626 of the rulers.4910
6 He who smote5221 the people5971 in wrath5678 with a continual stroke,1115 5627 4347 he that ruled7287 the nations1471 in anger,639 is persecuted,4783 and none1097 hindereth.2820
7 The whole3605 earth776 is at rest,5117 and is quiet:8252 they break forth6476 into singing.7440
8 Yea,1571 the fir trees1265 rejoice8055 at thee, and the cedars730 of Lebanon,3844 saying, Since4480 227 thou art laid down,7901 no3808 feller3772 is come up5927 against5921 us.
9 Hell7585 from beneath4480 8478 is moved7264 for thee to meet7122 thee at thy coming:935 it stirreth up5782 the dead7496 for thee, even all3605 the chief ones6260 of the earth;776 it hath raised up6965 from their thrones4480 3678 all3605 the kings4428 of the nations.1471
10 All3605 they shall speak6030 and say559 unto thee, Art thou859 also1571 become weak2470 as we? art thou become like4911 unto413 us?
11 Thy pomp1347 is brought down3381 to the grave,7585 and the noise1998 of thy viols:5035 the worm7415 is spread3331 under8478 thee, and the worms8438 cover4374 thee.
12 How349 art thou fallen5307 from heaven,4480 8064 O Lucifer,1966 son1121 of the morning!7837 how art thou cut down1438 to the ground,776 which didst weaken2522 5921 the nations!1471
13 For thou859 hast said559 in thine heart,3824 I will ascend5927 into heaven,8064 I will exalt7311 my throne3678 above4480 4605 the stars3556 of God:410 I will sit3427 also upon the mount2022 of the congregation,4150 in the sides3411 of the north:6828
14 I will ascend5927 above5921 the heights1116 of the clouds;5645 I will be like1819 the most High.5945
15 Yet389 thou shalt be brought down3381 to413 hell,7585 to413 the sides3411 of the pit.953
16 They that see7200 thee shall narrowly look7688 upon413 thee, and consider995 thee, saying, Is this2088 the man376 that made the earth776 to tremble,7264 that did shake7493 kingdoms;4467
17 That made7760 the world8398 as a wilderness,4057 and destroyed2040 the cities5892 thereof; that opened6605 not3808 the house1004 of his prisoners?615
18 All3605 the kings4428 of the nations,1471 even all3605 of them, lie7901 in glory,3519 every one376 in his own house.1004
19 But thou859 art cast7993 out of thy grave4480 6913 like an abominable8581 branch,5342 and as the raiment3830 of those that are slain,2026 thrust through2944 with a sword,2719 that go down3381 to413 the stones68 of the pit;953 as a carcass6297 trodden under feet.947
20 Thou shalt not3808 be joined3161 with854 them in burial,6900 because3588 thou hast destroyed7843 thy land,776 and slain2026 thy people:5971 the seed2233 of evildoers7489 shall never3808 5769 be renowned.7121
21 Prepare3559 slaughter4293 for his children1121 for the iniquity5771 of their fathers;1 that they do not1077 rise,6965 nor possess3423 the land,776 nor fill4390 the face6440 of the world8398 with cities.5892
22 For I will rise up6965 against5921 them, saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and cut off3772 from Babylon894 the name,8034 and remnant,7605 and son,5209 and nephew,5220 saith5002 the LORD.3068
23 I will also make7760 it a possession4180 for the bittern,7090 and pools98 of water:4325 and I will sweep2894 it with the broom4292 of destruction,8045 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
24 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 hath sworn,7650 saying,559 Surely518 3808 as834 I have thought,1819 so3651 shall it come to pass;1961 and as834 I have purposed,3289 so shall it1931 stand:6965
25 That I will break7665 the Assyrian804 in my land,776 and upon5921 my mountains2022 tread him under foot:947 then shall his yoke5923 depart5493 from off4480 5921 them, and his burden5448 depart5493 from off4480 5921 their shoulders.7926
26 This2063 is the purpose6098 that is purposed3289 upon5921 the whole3605 earth:776 and this2063 is the hand3027 that is stretched out5186 upon5921 all3605 the nations.1471
27 For3588 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 hath purposed,3289 and who4310 shall disannul6565 it? and his hand3027 is stretched out,5186 and who4310 shall turn it back?7725
28 In the year8141 that king4428 Ahaz271 died4194 was1961 this2088 burden.4853
29 Rejoice8055 not408 thou, whole3605 Philistia,6429 because3588 the rod7626 of him that3588 smote5221 thee is broken:7665 for out of the serpent's root4480 8328 5175 shall come forth3318 a cockatrice,6848 and his fruit6529 shall be a fiery flying serpent.8314 5774
30 And the firstborn1060 of the poor1800 shall feed,7462 and the needy34 shall lie down7257 in safety:983 and I will kill4191 thy root8328 with famine,7458 and he shall slay2026 thy remnant.7611
31 Howl,3213 O gate;8179 cry,2199 O city;5892 thou, whole3605 Philistia,6429 art dissolved:4127 for3588 there shall come935 from the north4480 6828 a smoke,6227 and none369 shall be alone909 in his appointed times.4151
32 What4100 shall one then answer6030 the messengers4397 of the nation?1471 That3588 the LORD3068 hath founded3245 Zion,6726 and the poor6041 of his people5971 shall trust2620 in it.
1 The burden4853 of Moab.4124 Because3588 in the night3915 Ar6144 of Moab4124 is laid waste,7703 and brought to silence;1820 because3588 in the night3915 Kir7024 of Moab4124 is laid waste,7703 and brought to silence;1820
2 He is gone up5927 to Bajith,1006 and to Dibon,1769 the high places,1116 to weep:1065 Moab4124 shall howl3213 over5921 Nebo,5015 and over5921 Medeba:4311 on all3605 their heads7218 shall be baldness,7144 and every3605 beard2206 cut off.1639
3 In their streets2351 they shall gird2296 themselves with sackcloth:8242 on5921 the tops of their houses,1406 and in their streets,7339 every one3605 shall howl,3213 weeping1065 abundantly.3381
4 And Heshbon2809 shall cry,2199 and Elealeh:500 their voice6963 shall be heard8085 even unto5704 Jahaz:3096 therefore5921 3651 the armed soldiers2502 of Moab4124 shall cry out;7321 his life5315 shall be grievous3415 unto him.
5 My heart3820 shall cry2199 out for Moab;4124 his fugitives1280 shall flee unto5704 Zoar,6820 a heifer5697 of three years old:7992 for3588 by the mounting up4608 of Luhith3872 with weeping1065 shall they go it up;5927 for3588 in the way1870 of Horonaim2773 they shall raise up5782 a cry2201 of destruction.7667
6 For3588 the waters4325 of Nimrim5249 shall be1961 desolate:4923 for3588 the hay2682 is withered away,3001 the grass1877 faileth,3615 there is1961 no3808 green thing.3418
7 Therefore5921 3651 the abundance3502 they have gotten,6213 and that which they have laid up,6486 shall they carry away5375 to5921 the brook5158 of the willows.6155
8 For3588 the cry2201 is gone round5362 about 853 the borders1366 of Moab;4124 the howling3213 thereof unto5704 Eglaim,97 and the howling3213 thereof unto Beer-elim.879
9 For3588 the waters4325 of Dimon1775 shall be full4390 of blood:1818 for3588 I will bring7896 more3254 upon5921 Dimon,1775 lions738 upon him that escapeth6413 of Moab,4124 and upon the remnant7611 of the land.127
1 Send7971 ye the lamb3733 to the ruler4910 of the land776 from Sela4480 5554 to the wilderness,4057 unto413 the mount2022 of the daughter1323 of Zion.6726
2 For it shall be,1961 that, as a wandering5074 bird5775 cast out7971 of the nest,7064 so the daughters1323 of Moab4124 shall be1961 at the fords4569 of Arnon.769
3 Take935 counsel,6098 execute6213 judgment;6415 make7896 thy shadow6738 as the night3915 in the midst8432 of the noonday;6672 hide5641 the outcasts;5080 betray1540 not408 him that wandereth.5074
4 Let mine outcasts5080 dwell1481 with thee, Moab;4124 be1933 thou a covert5643 to them from the face4480 6440 of the spoiler:7703 for3588 the extortioner4160 is at an end,656 the spoiler7701 ceaseth,3615 the oppressors7429 are consumed8552 out of4480 the land.776
5 And in mercy2617 shall the throne3678 be established:3559 and he shall sit3427 upon5921 it in truth571 in the tabernacle168 of David,1732 judging,8199 and seeking1875 judgment,4941 and hasting4106 righteousness.6664
6 We have heard8085 of the pride1347 of Moab;4124 he is very3966 proud:1341 even of his haughtiness,1346 and his pride,1347 and his wrath:5678 but his lies907 shall not3808 be so.3651
7 Therefore3651 shall Moab4124 howl3213 for Moab,4124 every one3605 shall howl:3213 for the foundations808 of Kir-hareseth7025 shall ye mourn;1897 surely389 they are stricken.5218
8 For3588 the fields7709 of Heshbon2809 languish,535 and the vine1612 of Sibmah:7643 the lords1167 of the heathen1471 have broken down1986 the principal plants8291 thereof, they are come5060 even unto5704 Jazer,3270 they wandered8582 through the wilderness:4057 her branches7976 are stretched out,5203 they are gone over5674 the sea.3220
9 Therefore5921 3651 I will bewail1058 with the weeping1065 of Jazer3270 the vine1612 of Sibmah:7643 I will water7301 thee with my tears,1832 O Heshbon,2809 and Elealeh:500 for3588 the shouting1959 for5921 thy summer fruits7019 and for5921 thy harvest7105 is fallen.5307
10 And gladness8057 is taken away,622 and joy1524 out of4480 the plentiful field;3759 and in the vineyards3754 there shall be no3808 singing,7442 neither3808 shall there be shouting:7321 the treaders1869 shall tread1869 out no3808 wine3196 in their presses;3342 I have made their vintage shouting1959 to cease.7673
11 Wherefore921 3651 my bowels4578 shall sound1993 like a harp3658 for Moab,4124 and mine inward parts7130 for Kir-haresh.7025
12 And it shall come to pass,1961 when3588 it is seen7200 that3588 Moab4124 is weary3811 on5921 the high place,1116 that he shall come935 to413 his sanctuary4720 to pray;6419 but he shall not3808 prevail.3201
13 This2088 is the word1697 that834 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 concerning413 Moab4124 since that time.4480 227
14 But now6258 the LORD3068 hath spoken,1696 saying,559 Within three7969 years,8141 as the years8141 of a hireling,7916 and the glory3519 of Moab4124 shall be contemned,7034 with all3605 that great7227 multitude;1995 and the remnant7605 shall be very small4592 4213 and feeble.3808 3524
1 The burden4853 of Damascus.1834 Behold,2009 Damascus1834 is taken away5493 from being a city,4480 5892 and it shall be1961 a ruinous4654 heap.4596
2 The cities5892 of Aroer6177 are forsaken:5800 they shall be1961 for flocks,5739 which shall lie down,7257 and none369 shall make them afraid.2729
3 The fortress4013 also shall cease7673 from Ephraim,4480 669 and the kingdom4467 from Damascus,4480 1834 and the remnant7605 of Syria:758 they shall be1961 as the glory3519 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
4 And in that1931 day3117 it shall come to pass,1961 that the glory3519 of Jacob3290 shall be made thin,1809 and the fatness4924 of his flesh1320 shall wax lean.7329
5 And it shall be1961 as when the harvest man7105 gathereth622 the corn,7054 and reapeth7114 the ears7641 with his arm;2220 and it shall be1961 as he that gathereth3950 ears7641 in the valley6010 of Rephaim.7497
6 Yet gleaning grapes5955 shall be left7604 in it, as the shaking5363 of an olive tree,2132 two8147 or three7969 berries1620 in the top7218 of the uppermost bough,534 four702 or five2568 in the outermost fruitful6509 branches5585 thereof, saith5002 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478
7 At that1931 day3117 shall a man120 look8159 to5921 his Maker,6213 and his eyes5869 shall have respect7200 to413 the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
8 And he shall not3808 look8159 to413 the altars,4196 the work4639 of his hands,3027 neither3808 shall respect7200 that which834 his fingers676 have made,6213 either the groves,842 or the images.2553
9 In that1931 day3117 shall his strong4581 cities5892 be1961 as a forsaken5800 bough,2793 and an uppermost branch,534 which834 they left5800 because4480 6440 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 and there shall be1961 desolation.8077
10 Because3588 thou hast forgotten7911 the God430 of thy salvation,3468 and hast not3808 been mindful2142 of the rock6697 of thy strength,4581 therefore5921 3651 shalt thou plant5193 pleasant5282 plants,5194 and shalt set2232 it with strange2114 slips:2156
11 In the day3117 shalt thou make thy plant5194 to grow,7735 and in the morning1242 shalt thou make thy seed2233 to flourish:6524 but the harvest7105 shall be a heap5067 in the day3117 of grief2470 and of desperate605 sorrow.3511
12 Woe1945 to the multitude1995 of many7227 people,5971 which make a noise1993 like the noise1993 of the seas;3220 and to the rushing7588 of nations,3816 that make a rushing7582 like the rushing7588 of mighty3524 waters!4325
13 The nations3816 shall rush7582 like the rushing7588 of many7227 waters:4325 but God shall rebuke1605 them, and they shall flee5127 far off,4480 4801 and shall be chased7291 as the chaff4671 of the mountains2022 before6440 the wind,7307 and like a rolling thing1534 before6440 the whirlwind.5492
14 And behold2009 at eveningtide6256 6153 trouble;1091 and before2962 the morning1242 he is not.369 This2088 is the portion2506 of them that spoil8154 us, and the lot1486 of them that rob962 us.
1 Woe1945 to the land776 shadowing6767 with wings,3671 which834 is beyond4480 5676 the rivers5104 of Ethiopia:3568
2 That sendeth7971 ambassadors6735 by the sea,3220 even in vessels3627 of bulrushes1573 upon5921 6440 the waters,4325 saying, Go,1980 ye swift7031 messengers,4397 to413 a nation1471 scattered4900 and peeled,4178 to413 a people5971 terrible3372 from4480 their beginning1931 hitherto;1973 a nation1471 meted out6957 6957 and trodden down,4001 whose834 land776 the rivers5104 have spoiled!958
3 All3605 ye inhabitants3427 of the world,8398 and dwellers7931 on the earth,776 see7200 ye, when he lifteth up5375 an ensign5251 on the mountains;2022 and when he bloweth8628 a trumpet,7782 hear8085 ye.
4 For3588 so3541 the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, I will take my rest,8252 and I will consider5027 in my dwelling place4349 like a clear6703 heat2527 upon5921 herbs,216 and like a cloud5645 of dew2919 in the heat2527 of harvest.7105
5 For3588 before6440 the harvest,7105 when the bud6525 is perfect,8552 and the sour grape1155 is1961 ripening1580 in the flower,5328 he shall both cut off3772 the sprigs2150 with pruning hooks,4211 and take away5493 and cut down8456 the branches.5189
6 They shall be left5800 together3162 unto the fowls5861 of the mountains,2022 and to the beasts929 of the earth:776 and the fowls5861 shall summer6972 upon5921 them, and all3605 the beasts929 of the earth776 shall winter2778 upon5921 them.
7 In that1931 time6256 shall the present7862 be brought2986 unto the LORD3068 of hosts6635 of a people5971 scattered4900 and peeled,4178 and from a people4480 5971 terrible3372 from4480 their beginning1931 hitherto;1973 a nation1471 meted out6957 6957 and trodden under foot,4001 whose834 land776 the rivers5104 have spoiled,958 to413 the place4725 of the name8034 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the mount2022 Zion.6726
1 The burden4853 of Egypt.4714 Behold,2009 the LORD3068 rideth7392 upon5921 a swift7031 cloud,5645 and shall come935 into Egypt:4714 and the idols457 of Egypt4714 shall be moved5128 at his presence,4480 6440 and the heart3824 of Egypt4714 shall melt4549 in the midst7130 of it.
2 And I will set5526 the Egyptians4714 against the Egyptians:4714 and they shall fight3898 every one376 against his brother,251 and every one376 against his neighbor;7453 city5892 against city,5892 and kingdom4467 against kingdom.4467
3 And the spirit7307 of Egypt4714 shall fail1238 in the midst7130 thereof; and I will destroy1104 the counsel6098 thereof: and they shall seek1875 to413 the idols,457 and to413 the charmers,328 and to413 them that have familiar spirits,178 and to413 the wizards.3049
4 And 853 the Egyptians4714 will I give over5534 into the hand3027 of a cruel7186 lord;113 and a fierce5794 king4428 shall rule4910 over them, saith5002 the Lord,113 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
5 And the waters4325 shall fail5405 from the sea,4480 3220 and the river5104 shall be wasted2717 and dried up.3001
6 And they shall turn the rivers far away;2186 5104 and the brooks2975 of defense4692 shall be emptied1809 and dried up:2717 the reeds7070 and flags5488 shall wither.7060
7 The paper reeds6169 by5921 the brooks,2975 by5921 the mouth6310 of the brooks,2975 and every thing3605 sown4218 by the brooks,2975 shall wither,3001 be driven away,5086 and be no369 more.
8 The fishers1771 also shall mourn,578 and all3605 they that cast7993 angle2443 into the brooks2975 shall lament,56 and they that spread6566 nets4365 upon5921 6440 the waters4325 shall languish.535
9 Moreover they that work5647 in fine8305 flax,6593 and they that weave707 networks,2355 shall be confounded.954
10 And they shall be1961 broken1792 in the purposes8356 thereof, all3605 that make6213 sluices7938 and ponds98 for fish.5315
11 Surely389 the princes8269 of Zoan6814 are fools,191 the counsel6098 of the wise2450 counselors3289 of Pharaoh6547 is become brutish:1197 how349 say559 ye unto413 Pharaoh,6547 I589 am the son1121 of the wise,2450 the son1121 of ancient6924 kings?4428
12 Where335 are they? where645 are thy wise2450 men? and let them tell5046 thee now,4994 and let them know3045 what4100 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 hath purposed3289 upon5921 Egypt.4714
13 The princes8269 of Zoan6814 are become fools,2973 the princes8269 of Noph5297 are deceived;5377 they have also seduced8582 853 Egypt,4714 even they that are the stay6438 of the tribes7626 thereof.
14 The LORD3068 hath mingled4537 a perverse5773 spirit7307 in the midst7130 thereof: and they have caused 853 Egypt4714 to err8582 in every3605 work4639 thereof, as a drunken7910 man staggereth8582 in his vomit.6892
15 Neither3808 shall there be1961 any work4639 for Egypt,4714 which834 the head7218 or tail,2180 branch3712 or rush,100 may do.6213
16 In that1931 day3117 shall Egypt4714 be1961 like unto women:802 and it shall be afraid2729 and fear6342 because4480 6440 of the shaking8573 of the hand3027 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 which834 he1931 shaketh5130 over5921 it.
17 And the land127 of Judah3063 shall be1961 a terror2283 unto Egypt,4714 every one3605 that834 maketh mention2142 thereof shall be afraid6342 in413 himself, because4480 6440 of the counsel6098 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 which834 he1931 hath determined3289 against5921 it.
18 In that1931 day3117 shall1961 five2568 cities5892 in the land776 of Egypt4714 speak1696 the language8193 of Canaan,3667 and swear7650 to the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 one259 shall be called,559 The city5892 of destruction.2041
19 In that1931 day3117 shall there be1961 an altar4196 to the LORD3068 in the midst8432 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 and a pillar4676 at681 the border1366 thereof to the LORD.3068
20 And it shall be1961 for a sign226 and for a witness5707 unto the LORD3068 of hosts6635 in the land776 of Egypt:4714 for3588 they shall cry6817 unto413 the LORD3068 because4480 6440 of the oppressors,3905 and he shall send7971 them a savior,3467 and a great one,7227 and he shall deliver5337 them.
21 And the LORD3068 shall be known3045 to Egypt,4714 and the Egyptians4714 shall know3045 853 the LORD3068 in that1931 day,3117 and shall do5647 sacrifice2077 and oblation;4503 yea, they shall vow5087 a vow5088 unto the LORD,3068 and perform7999 it.
22 And the LORD3068 shall smite5062 853 Egypt:4714 he shall smite5062 and heal7495 it: and they shall return7725 even to5704 the LORD,3068 and he shall be entreated6279 of them, and shall heal7495 them.
23 In that1931 day3117 shall there be1961 a highway4546 out of Egypt4480 4714 to Assyria,804 and the Assyrian804 shall come935 into Egypt,4714 and the Egyptian4714 into Assyria,804 and the Egyptians4714 shall serve5647 with854 the Assyrians.804
24 In that1931 day3117 shall Israel3478 be1961 the third7992 with Egypt4714 and with Assyria,804 even a blessing1293 in the midst7130 of the land:776
25 Whom834 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall bless,1288 saying,559 Blessed1288 be Egypt4714 my people,5971 and Assyria804 the work4639 of my hands,3027 and Israel3478 mine inheritance.5159
1 In the year8141 that Tartan8661 came935 unto Ashdod,795 (when Sargon5623 the king4428 of Assyria804 sent7971 him,) and fought3898 against Ashdod,795 and took3920 it;
2 At the same1931 time6256 spoke1696 the LORD3068 by3027 Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz,531 saying,559 Go1980 and loose6605 the sackcloth8242 from off4480 5921 thy loins,4975 and put off2502 thy shoe5275 from4480 5921 thy foot.7272 And he did6213 so,3651 walking1980 naked6174 and barefoot.3182
3 And the LORD3068 said,559 Like as834 my servant5650 Isaiah3470 hath walked1980 naked6174 and barefoot3182 three7969 years8141 for a sign226 and wonder4159 upon5921 Egypt4714 and upon5921 Ethiopia;3568
4 So3651 shall the king4428 of Assyria804 lead away5090 853 the Egyptians4714 prisoners,7628 and the Ethiopians3568 captives,1546 young5288 and old,2205 naked6174 and barefoot,3182 even with their buttocks8357 uncovered,2834 to the shame6172 of Egypt.4714
5 And they shall be afraid2865 and ashamed954 of Ethiopia4480 3568 their expectation,4007 and of4480 Egypt4714 their glory.8597
6 And the inhabitant3427 of this2088 isle339 shall say559 in that1931 day,3117 Behold,2009 such3541 is our expectation,4007 whither834 8033 we flee5127 for help5833 to be delivered5337 from4480 6440 the king4428 of Assyria:804 and how349 shall we587 escape?4422
1 The burden4853 of the desert4057 of the sea.3220 As whirlwinds5492 in the south5045 pass through;2498 so it cometh935 from the desert,4480 4057 from a terrible3372 land.4480 776
2 A grievous7186 vision2380 is declared5046 unto me; the treacherous dealer898 dealeth treacherously,898 and the spoiler7703 spoileth.7703 Go up,5927 O Elam:5867 besiege,6696 O Media;4074 all3605 the sighing585 thereof have I made to cease.7673
3 Therefore5921 3651 are my loins4975 filled4390 with pain:2479 pangs6735 have taken hold270 upon me, as the pangs6735 of a woman that travaileth:3205 I was bowed down5753 at the hearing4480 8085 of it; I was dismayed926 at the seeing4480 7200 of it.
4 My heart3824 panted,8582 fearfulness6427 frightened1204 853 me: the night5399 of my pleasure2837 hath he turned7760 into fear2731 unto me.
5 Prepare6186 the table,7979 watch6822 in the watchtower,6844 eat,398 drink:8354 arise,6965 ye princes,8269 and anoint4886 the shield.4043
6 For3588 thus3541 hath the Lord136 said559 unto413 me, Go,1980 set5975 a watchman,6822 let him declare5046 what834 he seeth.7200
7 And he saw7200 a chariot7393 with a couple6776 of horsemen,6571 a chariot7393 of asses,2543 and a chariot7393 of camels;1581 and he hearkened7181 diligently7182 with much7227 heed:7182
8 And he cried,7121 A lion:738 My lord,113 I595 stand5975 continually8548 upon5921 the watchtower4707 in the daytime,3119 and I595 am set5324 in5921 my ward4931 whole3605 nights:3915
9 And, behold,2009 here2088 cometh935 a chariot7393 of men,376 with a couple6776 of horsemen.6571 And he answered6030 and said,559 Babylon894 is fallen,5307 is fallen;5307 and all3605 the graven images6456 of her gods430 he hath broken7665 unto the ground.776
10 O my threshing,4098 and the corn1121 of my floor:1637 that which834 I have heard8085 of4480 854 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 have I declared5046 unto you.
11 The burden4853 of Dumah.1746 He calleth7121 to413 me out of Seir,4480 8165 Watchman,8104 what4100 of the night?4480 3915 Watchman,8104 what4100 of the night?4480 3915
12 The watchman8104 said,559 The morning1242 cometh,857 and also1571 the night:3915 if518 ye will inquire,1158 inquire1158 ye: return,7725 come.857
13 The burden4853 upon Arabia.6152 In the forest3293 in Arabia6152 shall ye lodge,3885 O ye traveling companies736 of Dedanim.1720
14 The inhabitants3427 of the land776 of Tema8485 brought857 water4325 to him that was thirsty,6771 they prevented6923 with their bread3899 him that fled.5074
15 For3588 they fled5074 from4480 6440 the swords,2719 from4480 6440 the drawn5203 sword,2719 and from4480 6440 the bent1869 bow,7198 and from4480 6440 the grievousness3514 of war.4421
16 For3588 thus3541 hath the Lord136 said559 unto413 me, Within5750 a year,8141 according to the years8141 of a hireling,7916 and all3605 the glory3519 of Kedar6938 shall fail:3615
17 And the residue7605 of the number4557 of archers,7198 the mighty men1368 of the children1121 of Kedar,6938 shall be diminished:4591 for3588 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 hath spoken1696 it.
1 The burden4853 of the valley1516 of vision.2384 What4100 aileth thee now,645 that3588 thou art wholly3605 gone up5927 to the housetops?1406
2 Thou that art full4392 of stirs,8663 a tumultuous1993 city,5892 a joyous5947 city:7151 thy slain2491 men are not3808 slain2491 with the sword,2719 nor3808 dead4191 in battle.4421
3 All3605 thy rulers7101 are fled5074 together,3162 they are bound631 by the archers:4480 7198 all3605 that are found4672 in thee are bound631 together,3162 which have fled1272 from far.4480 7350
4 Therefore5921 3651 said559 I, Look away8159 from4480 me; I will weep1065 bitterly,4843 labor213 not408 to comfort5162 me, because5921 of the spoiling7701 of the daughter1323 of my people.5971
5 For3588 it is a day3117 of trouble,4103 and of treading down,4001 and of perplexity3998 by the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 in the valley1516 of vision,2384 breaking down6979 the walls,7023 and of crying7771 to413 the mountains.2022
6 And Elam5867 bore5375 the quiver827 with chariots7393 of men120 and horsemen,6571 and Kir7024 uncovered6168 the shield.4043
7 And it shall come to pass,1961 that thy choicest4055 valleys6010 shall be full4390 of chariots,7393 and the horsemen6571 shall set themselves in array7896 7896 at the gate.8179
8 And he discovered1540 853 the covering4539 of Judah,3063 and thou didst look5027 in that1931 day3117 to413 the armor5402 of the house1004 of the forest.3293
9 Ye have seen7200 also the breaches1233 of the city5892 of David,1732 that3588 they are many:7231 and ye gathered together6908 853 the waters4325 of the lower8481 pool.1295
10 And ye have numbered5608 the houses1004 of Jerusalem,3389 and the houses1004 have ye broken down5422 to fortify1219 the wall.2346
11 Ye made6213 also a ditch4724 between996 the two walls2346 for the water4325 of the old3465 pool:1295 but ye have not3808 looked5027 unto413 the maker6213 thereof, neither3808 had respect7200 unto him that fashioned3335 it long ago.4480 7350
12 And in that1931 day3117 did the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 call7121 to weeping,1065 and to mourning,4553 and to baldness,7144 and to girding2296 with sackcloth:8242
13 And behold2009 joy8342 and gladness,8057 slaying2026 oxen,1241 and killing7819 sheep,6629 eating398 flesh,1320 and drinking8354 wine:3196 let us eat398 and drink;8354 for3588 tomorrow4279 we shall die.4191
14 And it was revealed1540 in mine ears241 by the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Surely518 this2088 iniquity5771 shall not be purged3722 from you till5704 ye die,4191 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts.6635
15 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 Go,1980 get935 thee unto413 this2088 treasurer,5532 even unto5921 Shebna,7644 which834 is over5921 the house,1004 and say,
16 What4100 hast thou here?6311 and whom4310 hast thou here,6311 that3588 thou hast hewed thee out2672 a sepulcher6913 here,6311 as he that heweth him out2672 a sepulcher6913 on high,4791 and that graveth2710 a habitation4908 for himself in a rock?5553
17 Behold,2009 the LORD3068 will carry thee away2904 with a mighty1397 captivity,2925 and will surely cover5844 5844 thee.
18 He will surely violently turn6801 6801 and toss6802 thee like a ball1754 into413 a large7342 3027 country:776 there8033 shalt thou die,4191 and there8033 the chariots4818 of thy glory3519 shall be the shame7036 of thy lord's113 house.1004
19 And I will drive1920 thee from thy station,4480 4673 and from thy state4480 4612 shall he pull thee down.2040
20 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that I will call7121 my servant5650 Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah:2518
21 And I will clothe3847 him with thy robe,3801 and strengthen2388 him with thy girdle,73 and I will commit5414 thy government4475 into his hand:3027 and he shall be1961 a father1 to the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 and to the house1004 of Judah.3063
22 And the key4668 of the house1004 of David1732 will I lay5414 upon5921 his shoulder;7926 so he shall open,6605 and none369 shall shut;5462 and he shall shut,5462 and none369 shall open.6605
23 And I will fasten8628 him as a nail3489 in a sure539 place;4725 and he shall be1961 for a glorious3519 throne3678 to his father's1 house.1004
24 And they shall hang8518 upon5921 him all3605 the glory3519 of his father's1 house,1004 the offspring6631 and the issue,6849 all3605 vessels3627 of small quantity,6996 from the vessels4480 3627 of cups,101 even to5704 all3605 the vessels3627 of flagons.5035
25 In that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 shall the nail3489 that is fastened8628 in the sure539 place4725 be removed,4185 and be cut down,1438 and fall;5307 and the burden4853 that834 was upon5921 it shall be cut off:3772 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.
1 The burden4853 of Tyre.6865 Howl,3213 ye ships591 of Tarshish;8659 for3588 it is laid waste,7703 so that there is no house,4480 1004 no entering in:4480 935 from the land4480 776 of Chittim3794 it is revealed1540 to them.
2 Be still,1826 ye inhabitants3427 of the isle;339 thou whom the merchants5503 of Zidon,6721 that pass over5674 the sea,3220 have replenished.4390
3 And by great7227 waters4325 the seed2233 of Sihor,7883 the harvest7105 of the river,2975 is her revenue;8393 and she is1961 a mart5505 of nations.1471
4 Be thou ashamed,954 O Zidon:6721 for3588 the sea3220 hath spoken,559 even the strength4581 of the sea,3220 saying,559 I travail2342 not,3808 nor3808 bring forth children,3205 neither3808 do I nourish up1431 young men,970 nor bring up7311 virgins.1330
5 As834 at the report8088 concerning Egypt,4714 so shall they be sorely pained2342 at the report8088 of Tyre.6865
6 Pass ye over5674 to Tarshish;8659 howl,3213 ye inhabitants3427 of the isle.339
7 Is this2063 your joyous5947 city, whose antiquity6927 is of ancient6924 days?4480 3117 her own feet7272 shall carry2986 her afar off4480 7350 to sojourn.1481
8 Who4310 hath taken this counsel3289 2063 against5921 Tyre,6865 the crowning5849 city, whose834 merchants5503 are princes,8269 whose traders3669 are the honorable3513 of the earth?776
9 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 hath purposed3289 it, to stain2490 the pride1347 of all3605 glory,6643 and to bring into contempt7043 all3605 the honorable3513 of the earth.776
10 Pass through5674 thy land776 as a river,2975 O daughter1323 of Tarshish:8659 there is no369 more5750 strength.4206
11 He stretched out5186 his hand3027 over5921 the sea,3220 he shook7264 the kingdoms:4467 the LORD3068 hath given a commandment6680 against413 the merchant3667 city, to destroy8045 the strongholds4581 thereof.
12 And he said,559 Thou shalt no3808 more5750 rejoice,5937 O thou oppressed6231 virgin,1330 daughter1323 of Zidon:6721 arise,6965 pass over5674 to Chittim;3794 there8033 also1571 shalt thou have no rest.5117 3808
13 Behold2005 the land776 of the Chaldeans;3778 this2088 people5971 was1961 not,3808 till the Assyrian804 founded3245 it for them that dwell in the wilderness:6728 they set up6965 the towers971 thereof, they raised up6209 the palaces759 thereof; and he brought7760 it to ruin.4654
14 Howl,3213 ye ships591 of Tarshish:8659 for3588 your strength4581 is laid waste.7703
15 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that Tyre6865 shall be forgotten7911 seventy7657 years,8141 according to the days3117 of one259 king:4428 after the end4480 7093 of seventy7657 years8141 shall Tyre6865 sing7892 as a harlot.2181
16 Take3947 a harp,3658 go about5437 the city,5892 thou harlot2181 that hast been forgotten;7911 make sweet3190 melody,5059 sing many7235 songs,7892 that4616 thou mayest be remembered.2142
17 And it shall come to pass1961 after the end4480 7093 of seventy7657 years,8141 that the LORD3068 will visit6485 853 Tyre,6865 and she shall turn7725 to her hire,868 and shall commit fornication2181 with854 all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the world776 upon5921 the face6440 of the earth.127
18 And her merchandise5504 and her hire868 shall be1961 holiness6944 to the LORD:3068 it shall not3808 be treasured686 nor3808 laid up;2630 for3588 her merchandise5504 shall be1961 for them that dwell3427 before6440 the LORD,3068 to eat398 sufficiently,7654 and for durable6266 clothing.4374
1 Behold,2009 the LORD3068 maketh the earth empty,1238 776 and maketh it waste,1110 and turneth it upside down,5753 6440 and scattereth abroad6327 the inhabitants3427 thereof.
2 And it shall be,1961 as with the people,5971 so with the priest;3548 as with the servant,5650 so with his master;113 as with the maid,8198 so with her mistress;1404 as with the buyer,7069 so with the seller;4376 as with the lender,3867 so with the borrower;3867 as with the taker of usury,5383 so834 with the giver of usury5378 to him.
3 The land776 shall be utterly emptied,1238 1238 and utterly spoiled:962 962 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 853 this2088 word.1697
4 The earth776 mourneth56 and fadeth away,5034 the world8398 languisheth535 and fadeth away,5034 the haughty4791 people5971 of the earth776 do languish.535
5 The earth776 also is defiled2610 under8478 the inhabitants3427 thereof; because3588 they have transgressed5674 the laws,8451 changed2498 the ordinance,2706 broken6565 the everlasting5769 covenant.1285
6 Therefore5921 3651 hath the curse423 devoured398 the earth,776 and they that dwell3427 therein are desolate:816 therefore5921 3651 the inhabitants3427 of the earth776 are burned,2787 and few4213 men582 left.7604
7 The new wine8492 mourneth,56 the vine1612 languisheth,535 all3605 the merryhearted8056 3820 do sigh.584
8 The mirth4885 of tabrets8596 ceaseth,7673 the noise7588 of them that rejoice5947 endeth,2308 the joy4885 of the harp3658 ceaseth.7673
9 They shall not3808 drink8354 wine3196 with a song;7892 strong drink7941 shall be bitter4843 to them that drink8354 it.
10 The city7151 of confusion8414 is broken down:7665 every3605 house1004 is shut up,5462 that no man may come in.4480 935
11 There is a crying6682 for5921 wine3196 in the streets;2351 all3605 joy8057 is darkened,6150 the mirth4885 of the land776 is gone.1540
12 In the city5892 is left7604 desolation,8047 and the gate8179 is smitten3807 with destruction.7591
13 When3588 thus3541 it shall be1961 in the midst7130 of the land776 among8432 the people,5971 there shall be as the shaking5363 of an olive tree,2132 and as the gleaning grapes5955 when518 the vintage1210 is done.3615
14 They1992 shall lift up5375 their voice,6963 they shall sing7442 for the majesty1347 of the LORD,3068 they shall cry aloud6670 from the sea.4480 3220
15 Wherefore5921 3651 glorify3513 ye the LORD3068 in the fires,217 even the name8034 of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 in the isles339 of the sea.3220
16 From the uttermost part4480 3671 of the earth776 have we heard8085 songs,2158 even glory6643 to the righteous.6662 But I said,559 My leanness,7334 my leanness,7334 woe188 unto me! the treacherous dealers898 have dealt treacherously;898 yea, the treacherous dealers898 have dealt very treacherously.898 899
17 Fear,6343 and the pit,6354 and the snare,6341 are upon5921 thee, O inhabitant3427 of the earth.776
18 And it shall come to pass,1961 that he who fleeth5127 from the noise4480 6963 of the fear6343 shall fall5307 into413 the pit;6354 and he that cometh up5927 out of the midst4480 8432 of the pit6354 shall be taken3920 in the snare:6341 for3588 the windows699 from on high4480 4791 are open,6605 and the foundations4146 of the earth776 do shake.7493
19 The earth776 is utterly broken down,7489 7489 the earth776 is clean dissolved,6565 6565 the earth776 is moved exceedingly.4131 4131
20 The earth776 shall reel to and fro5128 5128 like a drunkard,7910 and shall be removed5110 like a cottage;4412 and the transgression6588 thereof shall be heavy3513 upon5921 it; and it shall fall,5307 and not3808 rise6965 again.3254
21 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the LORD3068 shall punish6485 5921 the host6635 of the high ones4791 that are on high,4791 and the kings4428 of the earth127 upon5921 the earth.127
22 And they shall be gathered together,622 as prisoners616 are gathered626 in5921 the pit,953 and shall be shut up5462 in5921 the prison,4525 and after many4480 7230 days3117 shall they be visited.6485
23 Then the moon3842 shall be confounded,2659 and the sun2535 ashamed,954 when3588 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall reign4427 in mount2022 Zion,6726 and in Jerusalem,3389 and before5048 his ancients2205 gloriously.3519
1 O LORD,3068 thou859 art my God;430 I will exalt7311 thee, I will praise3034 thy name;8034 for3588 thou hast done6213 wonderful6382 things; thy counsels6098 of old4480 7350 are faithfulness530 and truth.544
2 For3588 thou hast made7760 of a city4480 5892 a heap;1530 of a defensed1219 city7151 a ruin:4654 a palace759 of strangers2114 to be no city;4480 5892 it shall never3808 5769 be built.1129
3 Therefore5921 3651 shall the strong5794 people5971 glorify3513 thee, the city7151 of the terrible6184 nations1471 shall fear3372 thee.
4 For3588 thou hast been1961 a strength4581 to the poor,1800 a strength4581 to the needy34 in his distress,6862 a refuge4268 from the storm,4480 2230 a shadow6738 from the heat,4480 2721 when3588 the blast7307 of the terrible ones6184 is as a storm2230 against the wall.7023
5 Thou shalt bring down3665 the noise7588 of strangers,2114 as the heat2721 in a dry place;6724 even the heat2721 with the shadow6738 of a cloud:5645 the branch2159 of the terrible ones6184 shall be brought low.6030
6 And in this2088 mountain2022 shall the LORD3068 of hosts6635 make6213 unto all3605 people5971 a feast4960 of fat things,8081 a feast4960 of wines on the lees,8105 of fat things8081 full of marrow,4229 of wines on the lees8105 well refined.2212
7 And he will destroy1104 in this2088 mountain2022 the face6440 of the covering3875 cast3874 over5921 all3605 people,5971 and the veil4541 that is spread5259 over5921 all3605 nations.1471
8 He will swallow up1104 death4194 in victory;5331 and the Lord136 GOD3069 will wipe away4229 tears1832 from off4480 5921 all3605 faces;6440 and the rebuke2781 of his people5971 shall he take away5493 from off4480 5921 all3605 the earth:776 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.
9 And it shall be said559 in that1931 day,3117 Lo,2009 this2088 is our God;430 we have waited6960 for him, and he will save3467 us: this2088 is the LORD;3068 we have waited6960 for him, we will be glad1523 and rejoice8055 in his salvation.3444
10 For3588 in this2088 mountain2022 shall the hand3027 of the LORD3068 rest,5117 and Moab4124 shall be trodden down1758 under8478 him, even as straw4963 is trodden down1758 for the dunghill.4087
11 And he shall spread forth6566 his hands3027 in the midst7130 of them, as834 he that swimmeth7811 spreadeth forth6566 his hands to swim:7811 and he shall bring down8213 their pride1346 together with5973 the spoils698 of their hands.3027
12 And the fortress4013 of the high fort4869 of thy walls2346 shall he bring down,7817 lay low,8213 and bring5060 to the ground,776 even to5704 the dust.6083
1 In that1931 day3117 shall this2088 song7892 be sung7891 in the land776 of Judah;3063 We have a strong5797 city;5892 salvation3444 will God appoint7896 for walls2346 and bulwarks.2426
2 Open6605 ye the gates,8179 that the righteous6662 nation1471 which keepeth8104 the truth529 may enter in.935
3 Thou wilt keep5341 him in perfect peace,7965 7965 whose mind3336 is stayed5564 on thee: because3588 he trusteth982 in thee.
4 Trust982 ye in the LORD3068 forever:5704 5703 for3588 in the LORD3050 JEHOVAH3068 is everlasting5769 strength:6697
5 For3588 he bringeth down7817 them that dwell3427 on high;4791 the lofty7682 city,7151 he layeth it low;8213 he layeth it low,8213 even to5704 the ground;776 he bringeth5060 it even to5704 the dust.6083
6 The foot7272 shall tread it down,7429 even the feet7272 of the poor,6041 and the steps6471 of the needy.1800
7 The way734 of the just6662 is uprightness:4339 thou, most upright,3477 dost weigh6424 the path4570 of the just.6662
8 Yea,637 in the way734 of thy judgments,4941 O LORD,3068 have we waited6960 for thee; the desire8378 of our soul5315 is to thy name,8034 and to the remembrance2143 of thee.
9 With my soul5315 have I desired183 thee in the night;3915 yea,637 with my spirit7307 within7130 me will I seek thee early:7836 for3588 when834 thy judgments4941 are in the earth,776 the inhabitants3427 of the world8398 will learn3925 righteousness.6664
10 Let favor be showed2603 to the wicked,7563 yet will he not1077 learn3925 righteousness:6664 in the land776 of uprightness5229 will he deal unjustly,5765 and will not1077 behold7200 the majesty1348 of the LORD.3068
11 LORD,3068 when thy hand3027 is lifted up,5375 they will not1077 see:2372 but they shall see,2372 and be ashamed954 for their envy7068 at the people;5971 yea,637 the fire784 of thine enemies6862 shall devour398 them.
12 LORD,3068 thou wilt ordain8239 peace7965 for us: for3588 thou also1571 hast wrought6466 all3605 our works4639 in us.
13 O LORD3068 our God,430 other lords113 beside2108 thee have had dominion1166 over us: but by thee only905 will we make mention2142 of thy name.8034
14 They are dead,4191 they shall not1077 live;2421 they are deceased,7496 they shall not1077 rise:6965 therefore3651 hast thou visited6485 and destroyed8045 them, and made all3605 their memory2143 to perish.6
15 Thou hast increased3254 the nation,1471 O LORD,3068 thou hast increased3254 the nation:1471 thou art glorified:3513 thou hadst removed it far7368 unto all3605 the ends7099 of the earth.776
16 LORD,3068 in trouble6862 have they visited6485 thee, they poured out6694 a prayer3908 when thy chastening4148 was upon them.
17 Like as3644 a woman with child,2030 that draweth near7126 the time of her delivery,3205 is in pain,2342 and crieth out2199 in her pangs;2256 so3651 have we been1961 in thy sight,4480 6440 O LORD.3068
18 We have been with child,2029 we have been in pain,2342 we have as it were3644 brought forth3205 wind;7307 we have not1077 wrought6213 any deliverance3444 in the earth;776 neither1077 have the inhabitants3427 of the world8398 fallen.5307
19 Thy dead4191 men shall live,2421 together with my dead body5038 shall they arise.6965 Awake6974 and sing,7442 ye that dwell7931 in dust:6083 for3588 thy dew2919 is as the dew2919 of herbs,219 and the earth776 shall cast out5307 the dead.7496
20 Come,1980 my people,5971 enter935 thou into thy chambers,2315 and shut5462 thy doors1817 about1157 thee: hide2247 thyself as it were for a little4592 moment,7281 until5704 the indignation2195 be overpast.5674
21 For,3588 behold,2009 the LORD3068 cometh3318 out of his place4480 4725 to punish6485 the inhabitants3427 of the earth776 for their iniquity:5771 the earth776 also shall disclose1540 853 her blood,1818 and shall no3808 more5750 cover3680 5921 her slain.2026
1 In that1931 day3117 the LORD3068 with his sore7186 and great1419 and strong2389 sword2719 shall punish6485 5921 leviathan3882 the piercing1281 serpent,5175 even leviathan3882 that crooked6129 serpent;5175 and he shall slay2026 853 the dragon8577 that834 is in the sea.3220
2 In that1931 day3117 sing6031 ye unto her, A vineyard3754 of red wine.2531
3 I589 the LORD3068 do keep5341 it; I will water8248 it every moment:7281 lest6435 any hurt6485 5921 it, I will keep5341 it night3915 and day.3117
4 Fury2534 is not369 in me: who4310 would set5414 the briers8068 and thorns7898 against me in battle?4421 I would go6585 through them, I would burn6702 them together.3162
5 Or176 let him take hold2388 of my strength,4581 that he may make6213 peace7965 with me; and he shall make6213 peace7965 with me.
6 He shall cause them that come935 of Jacob3290 to take root:8327 Israel3478 shall blossom6692 and bud,6524 and fill4390 the face6440 of the world8398 with fruit.8570
7 Hath he smitten5221 him, as he smote4347 those that smote5221 him? or is he slain2026 according to the slaughter2027 of them that are slain2026 by him?
8 In measure,5432 when it shooteth forth,7971 thou wilt debate7378 with it: he stayeth1898 his rough7186 wind7307 in the day3117 of the east wind.6921
9 By this2063 therefore3651 shall the iniquity5771 of Jacob3290 be purged;3722 and this2088 is all3605 the fruit6529 to take away5493 his sin;2403 when he maketh7760 all3605 the stones68 of the altar4196 as chalkstones68 1615 that are beaten in sunder,5310 the groves842 and images2553 shall not3808 stand up.6965
10 Yet3588 the defensed1219 city5892 shall be desolate,910 and the habitation5116 forsaken,7971 and left5800 like a wilderness:4057 there8033 shall the calf5695 feed,7462 and there8033 shall he lie down,7257 and consume3615 the branches5585 thereof.
11 When the boughs7105 thereof are withered,3001 they shall be broken off:7665 the women802 come,935 and set them on fire:215 853 for3588 it is a people5971 of no3808 understanding:998 therefore5921 3651 he1931 that made6213 them will not3808 have mercy7355 on them, and he that formed3335 them will show them no favor.2603 3808
12 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the LORD3068 shall beat off2251 from the channel4480 7641 of the river5104 unto5704 the stream5158 of Egypt,4714 and ye859 shall be gathered3950 one259 by one,259 O ye children1121 of Israel.3478
13 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that the great1419 trumpet7782 shall be blown,8628 and they shall come935 which were ready to perish6 in the land776 of Assyria,804 and the outcasts5080 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and shall worship7812 the LORD3068 in the holy6944 mount2022 at Jerusalem.3389
1 Woe1945 to the crown5850 of pride,1348 to the drunkards7910 of Ephraim,669 whose glorious6643 beauty8597 is a fading5034 flower,6731 which834 are on5921 the head7218 of the fat8081 valleys1516 of them that are overcome1986 with wine!3196
2 Behold,2009 the Lord136 hath a mighty2389 and strong one,533 which as a tempest2230 of hail1259 and a destroying6986 storm,8178 as a flood2230 of mighty3524 waters4325 overflowing,7857 shall cast down5117 to the earth776 with the hand.3027
3 The crown5850 of pride,1348 the drunkards7910 of Ephraim,669 shall be trodden7429 under feet:7272
4 And the glorious6643 beauty,8597 which834 is on5921 the head7218 of the fat8081 valley,1516 shall be1961 a fading5034 flower,6733 and as the hasty fruit1061 before2962 the summer;7019 which834 when he that looketh7200 upon it seeth,7200 while it is yet5750 in his hand3709 he eateth it up.1104
5 In that1931 day3117 shall the LORD3068 of hosts6635 be1961 for a crown5850 of glory,6643 and for a diadem6843 of beauty,8597 unto the residue7605 of his people,5971
6 And for a spirit7307 of judgment4941 to him that sitteth3427 in5921 judgment,4941 and for strength1369 to them that turn7725 the battle4421 to the gate.8179
7 But they428 also1571 have erred7686 through wine,3196 and through strong drink7941 are out of the way;8582 the priest3548 and the prophet5030 have erred7686 through strong drink,7941 they are swallowed up1104 of4480 wine,3196 they are out of the way8582 through4480 strong drink;7941 they err7686 in vision,7203 they stumble6328 in judgment.6417
8 For3588 all3605 tables7979 are full4390 of vomit6892 and filthiness,6675 so that there is no1097 place4725 clean.
9 853 Whom4310 shall he teach3384 knowledge?1844 and whom4310 shall he make to understand995 doctrine?8052 them that are weaned1580 from the milk,4480 2461 and drawn6267 from the breasts.4480 7699
10 For3588 precept6673 must be upon precept,6673 precept6673 upon precept;6673 line6957 upon line,6957 line6957 upon line;6957 here8033 a little,2191 and there8033 a little:2191
11 For3588 with stammering3934 lips8193 and another312 tongue3956 will he speak1696 to413 this2088 people.5971
12 To413 whom834 he said,559 This2063 is the rest4496 wherewith ye may cause the weary5889 to rest;5117 and this2063 is the refreshing:4774 yet they would14 not3808 hear.8085
13 But the word1697 of the LORD3068 was1961 unto them precept6673 upon precept,6673 precept6673 upon precept;6673 line6957 upon line,6957 line6957 upon line;6957 here8033 a little,2191 and there8033 a little;2191 that4616 they might go,1980 and fall3782 backward,268 and be broken,7665 and snared,3369 and taken.3920
14 Wherefore3651 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 ye scornful3944 men,376 that rule4910 this2088 people5971 which834 is in Jerusalem.3389
15 Because3588 ye have said,559 We have made3772 a covenant1285 with854 death,4194 and with5973 hell7585 are we at6213 agreement;2374 when3588 the overflowing7857 scourge7752 shall pass through,5674 it shall not3808 come935 unto us: for3588 we have made7760 lies3577 our refuge,4268 and under falsehood8267 have we hid ourselves:5641
16 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 Behold,2009 I lay3245 in Zion6726 for a foundation3245 a stone,68 a tried976 stone,68 a precious3368 corner6438 stone, a sure3245 foundation:4143 he that believeth539 shall not3808 make haste.2363
17 Judgment4941 also will I lay7760 to the line,6957 and righteousness6666 to the plummet:4949 and the hail1259 shall sweep away3261 the refuge4268 of lies,3577 and the waters4325 shall overflow7857 the hiding place.5643
18 And your covenant1285 with854 death4194 shall be disannulled,3722 and your agreement2380 with854 hell7585 shall not3808 stand;6965 when3588 the overflowing7857 scourge7752 shall pass through,5674 then ye shall be1961 trodden down4823 by it.
19 From the time4480 1767 that it goeth forth5674 it shall take3947 you: for3588 morning1242 by morning1242 shall it pass over,5674 by day3117 and by night:3915 and it shall be1961 a vexation2113 only7535 to understand995 the report.8052
20 For3588 the bed4702 is shorter7114 than that a man can stretch himself4480 8311 on it: and the covering4541 narrower6887 than that he can wrap himself3664 in it.
21 For3588 the LORD3068 shall rise up6965 as in mount2022 Perazim,6556 he shall be wroth7264 as in the valley6010 of Gibeon,1391 that he may do6213 his work,4639 his strange2114 work;4639 and bring to pass5647 his act,5656 his strange5237 act.5656
22 Now6258 therefore be ye not mockers,3887 408 lest6435 your bands4147 be made strong:2388 for3588 I have heard8085 from4480 854 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 a consumption,3617 even determined2782 upon5921 the whole3605 earth.776
23 Give ye ear,238 and hear8085 my voice;6963 hearken,7181 and hear8085 my speech.565
24 Doth the plowman2790 plow2790 all3605 day3117 to sow?2232 doth he open6605 and break the clods7702 of his ground?127
25 When518 he hath made plain7737 the face6440 thereof, doth he not3808 cast abroad6327 the fitches,7100 and scatter2236 the cummin,3646 and cast7760 in the principal7795 wheat2406 and the appointed5567 barley8184 and the rye3698 in their place?1367
26 For his God430 doth instruct3256 him to discretion,4941 and doth teach3384 him.
27 For3588 the fitches7100 are not3808 threshed1758 with a threshing instrument,2742 neither is a cart5699 wheel212 turned5437 about upon5921 the cummin;3646 but3588 the fitches7100 are beaten out2251 with a staff,4294 and the cummin3646 with a rod.7626
28 Bread3899 corn is bruised;1854 because3588 he will not3808 ever5331 be threshing1758 it, nor break2000 it with the wheel1536 of his cart,5699 nor3808 bruise1854 it with his horsemen.6571
29 This2063 also1571 cometh forth3318 from4480 5973 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 which is wonderful6381 in counsel,6098 and excellent1431 in working.8454
1 Woe1945 to Ariel,740 to Ariel,740 the city7151 where David1732 dwelt!2583 add5595 ye year8141 to5921 year;8141 let them kill5362 sacrifices.2282
2 Yet I will distress6693 Ariel,740 and there shall be1961 heaviness8386 and sorrow:592 and it shall be1961 unto me as Ariel.740
3 And I will camp2583 against5921 thee round about,1754 and will lay siege6696 against5921 thee with a mount,4674 and I will raise6965 forts4694 against5921 thee.
4 And thou shalt be brought down,8213 and shalt speak1696 out of the ground,4480 776 and thy speech565 shall be low7817 out of the dust,4480 6083 and thy voice6963 shall be,1961 as of one that hath a familiar spirit,178 out of the ground,4480 776 and thy speech565 shall whisper6850 out of the dust.4480 6083
5 Moreover the multitude1995 of thy strangers2114 shall be1961 like small1851 dust,80 and the multitude1995 of the terrible ones6184 shall be as chaff4671 that passeth away:5674 yea, it shall be1961 at an instant6621 suddenly.6597
6 Thou shalt be visited6485 of4480 5973 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 with thunder,7482 and with earthquake,7494 and great1419 noise,6963 with storm5492 and tempest,5591 and the flame3851 of devouring398 fire.784
7 And the multitude1995 of all3605 the nations1471 that fight6633 against5921 Ariel,740 even all3605 that fight6633 against her and her munition,4685 and that distress6693 her, shall be1961 as a dream2472 of a night3915 vision.2377
8 It shall even be1961 as when834 a hungry7457 man dreameth,2492 and, behold,2009 he eateth;398 but he awaketh,6974 and his soul5315 is empty:7386 or as when834 a thirsty man6771 dreameth,2492 and, behold,2009 he drinketh;8354 but he awaketh,6974 and, behold,2009 he is faint,5889 and his soul5315 hath appetite:8264 so3651 shall the multitude1995 of all3605 the nations1471 be,1961 that fight6633 against5921 mount2022 Zion.6726
9 Stay yourselves,4102 and wonder;8539 cry ye out,8173 and cry:8173 they are drunken,7937 but not3808 with wine;3196 they stagger,5128 but not3808 with strong drink.7941
10 For3588 the LORD3068 hath poured out5258 upon5921 you the spirit7307 of deep sleep,8639 and hath closed6105 853 your eyes:5869 853 the prophets5030 and your rulers,7218 the seers2374 hath he covered.3680
11 And the vision2380 of all3605 is become1961 unto you as the words1697 of a book5612 that is sealed,2856 which834 men deliver5414 to413 one that is learned,3045 5612 saying,559 Read7121 this,2088 I pray thee:4994 and he saith,559 I cannot;3201 3808 for3588 it1931 is sealed:2856
12 And the book5612 is delivered5414 to5921 him that834 is not learned,3045 3808 5612 saying,559 Read7121 this,2088 I pray thee:4994 and he saith,559 I am not learned.3045 3808 5612
13 Wherefore the Lord136 said,559 Forasmuch3282 3588 as this2088 people5971 draw near5066 me with their mouth,6310 and with their lips8193 do honor3513 me, but have removed their heart far7368 3820 from4480 me, and their fear3374 toward854 me is1961 taught3925 by the precept4687 of men:376
14 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 I will proceed3254 to do a marvelous work6381 among854 this2088 people,5971 even a marvelous work6381 and a wonder:6382 for the wisdom2451 of their wise2450 men shall perish,6 and the understanding998 of their prudent995 men shall be hid.5641
15 Woe1945 unto them that seek deep6009 to hide5641 their counsel6098 from the LORD,4480 3068 and their works4639 are1961 in the dark,4285 and they say,559 Who4310 seeth7200 us? and who4310 knoweth3045 us?
16 Surely518 your turning of things upside down2017 shall be esteemed2803 as the potter's3335 clay:2563 for3588 shall the work4639 say559 of him that made6213 it, He made6213 me not?3808 or shall the thing framed3336 say559 of him that framed3335 it, He had no understanding?995 3808
17 Is it not3808 yet5750 a very4213 little while,4592 and Lebanon3844 shall be turned7725 into a fruitful field,3759 and the fruitful field3759 shall be esteemed2803 as a forest?3293
18 And in that1931 day3117 shall the deaf2795 hear8085 the words1697 of the book,5612 and the eyes5869 of the blind5787 shall see7200 out of obscurity,4480 652 and out of darkness.4480 2822
19 The meek6035 also shall increase3254 their joy8057 in the LORD,3068 and the poor34 among men120 shall rejoice1523 in the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
20 For3588 the terrible one6184 is brought to naught,656 and the scorner3887 is consumed,3615 and all3605 that watch8245 for iniquity205 are cut off:3772
21 That make a man an offender2398 120 for a word,1697 and lay a snare6983 for him that reproveth3198 in the gate,8179 and turn aside5186 the just6662 for a thing of naught.8414
22 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 who834 redeemed6299 853 Abraham,85 concerning413 the house1004 of Jacob,3290 Jacob3290 shall not3808 now6258 be ashamed,954 neither3808 shall his face6440 now6258 wax pale.2357
23 But when3588 he seeth7200 his children,3206 the work4639 of mine hands,3027 in the midst7130 of him, they shall sanctify6942 my name,8034 and sanctify6942 853 the Holy One6918 of Jacob,3290 and shall fear6206 the God430 of Israel.3478
24 They also that erred8582 in spirit7307 shall come3045 to understanding,998 and they that murmured7279 shall learn3925 doctrine.3948
1 Woe1945 to the rebellious5637 children,1121 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that take6213 counsel,6098 but not3808 of4480 me; and that cover5258 with a covering,4541 but not3808 of my spirit,7307 that4616 they may add5595 sin2403 to5921 sin:2403
2 That walk1980 to go down3381 into Egypt,4714 and have not3808 asked7592 at my mouth;6310 to strengthen5810 themselves in the strength4581 of Pharaoh,6547 and to trust2620 in the shadow6738 of Egypt!4714
3 Therefore shall the strength4581 of Pharaoh6547 be1961 your shame,1322 and the trust2622 in the shadow6738 of Egypt4714 your confusion.3639
4 For3588 his princes8269 were1961 at Zoan,6814 and his ambassadors4397 came5060 to Hanes.2609
5 They were all3605 ashamed954 of5921 a people5971 that could not3808 profit3276 them, nor3808 be a help5828 nor3808 profit,3276 but3588 a shame,1322 and also1571 a reproach.2781
6 The burden4853 of the beasts929 of the south:5045 into the land776 of trouble6869 and anguish,6695 from4480 whence come the young3833 and old lion,3918 the viper660 and fiery flying serpent,8314 5774 they will carry5375 their riches2428 upon5921 the shoulders3802 of young asses,5895 and their treasures214 upon5921 the bunches1707 of camels,1581 to5921 a people5971 that shall not3808 profit3276 them.
7 For the Egyptians4714 shall help5826 in vain,1892 and to no purpose:7385 therefore3651 have I cried7121 concerning this,2063 Their strength7293 is to sit still.7674
8 Now6258 go,935 write3789 it before854 them in5921 a table,3871 and note2710 it in5921 a book,5612 that it may be1961 for the time3117 to come314 forever5703 and ever:5704 5769
9 That3588 this1931 is a rebellious4805 people,5971 lying3586 children,1121 children1121 that will14 not3808 hear8085 the law8451 of the LORD:3068
10 Which834 say559 to the seers,7200 See7200 not;3808 and to the prophets,2374 Prophesy2372 not3808 unto us right things,5229 speak1696 unto us smooth things,2513 prophesy2372 deceits:4123
11 Get5493 you out of4480 the way,1870 turn aside5186 out of4480 the path,734 cause 853 the Holy One6918 of Israel3478 to cease7673 from before4480 6440 us.
12 Wherefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 Because3282 ye despise3988 this2088 word,1697 and trust982 in oppression6233 and perverseness,3868 and stay8172 thereon:5921
13 Therefore3651 this2088 iniquity5771 shall be1961 to you as a breach6556 ready to fall,5307 swelling out1158 in a high7682 wall,2346 whose834 breaking7667 cometh935 suddenly6597 at an instant.6621
14 And he shall break7665 it as the breaking7667 of the potter's3335 vessel5035 that is broken in pieces;3807 he shall not3808 spare:2550 so that there shall not3808 be found4672 in the bursting4386 of it a shard2789 to take2846 fire784 from the hearth,4480 3344 or to take2834 water4325 withal out of the pit.4480 1360
15 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 the Holy One6918 of Israel;3478 In returning7729 and rest5183 shall ye be saved;3467 in quietness8252 and in confidence985 shall be1961 your strength:1369 and ye would14 not.3808
16 But ye said,559 No;3808 for3588 we will flee5127 upon5921 horses;5483 therefore5921 3651 shall ye flee:5127 and, We will ride7392 upon5921 the swift;7031 therefore5921 3651 shall they that pursue7291 you be swift.7043
17 One259 thousand505 shall flee at4480 6440 the rebuke1606 of one;259 at4480 6440 the rebuke1606 of five2568 shall ye flee:5127 till5704 518 ye be left3498 as a beacon8650 upon5921 the top7218 of a mountain,2022 and as an ensign5251 on5921 a hill.1389
18 And therefore3651 will the LORD3068 wait,2442 that he may be gracious2603 unto you, and therefore3651 will he be exalted,7311 that he may have mercy7355 upon you: for3588 the LORD3068 is a God430 of judgment:4941 blessed835 are all3605 they that wait2442 for him.
19 For3588 the people5971 shall dwell3427 in Zion6726 at Jerusalem:3389 thou shalt weep no more:1058 1058 3808 he will be very gracious2603 2603 unto thee at the voice6963 of thy cry;2199 when he shall hear8085 it, he will answer6030 thee.
20 And though the Lord136 give5414 you the bread3899 of adversity,6862 and the water4325 of affliction,3906 yet shall not3808 thy teachers3384 be removed into a corner3670 any more,5750 but thine eyes5869 shall1961 see7200 853 thy teachers:3384
21 And thine ears241 shall hear8085 a word1697 behind4480 310 thee, saying,559 This2088 is the way,1870 walk1980 ye in it, when3588 ye turn to the right hand,541 and when3588 ye turn to the left.8041
22 Ye shall defile2930 also 853 the covering6826 of thy graven images6456 of silver,3701 and the ornament642 of thy molten images4541 of gold:2091 thou shalt cast them away2219 as3644 a menstruous cloth;1739 thou shalt say559 unto it, Get thee hence.3318
23 Then shall he give5414 the rain4306 of thy seed,2233 that834 thou shalt sow2232 853 the ground127 withal; and bread3899 of the increase8393 of the earth,127 and it shall be1961 fat1879 and plenteous:8082 in that1931 day3117 shall thy cattle4735 feed7462 in large7337 pastures.3733
24 The oxen504 likewise and the young asses5895 that ear5647 the ground127 shall eat398 clean2548 provender,1098 which834 hath been winnowed2219 with the shovel7371 and with the fan.4214
25 And there shall be1961 upon5921 every3605 high1364 mountain,2022 and upon5921 every3605 high5375 hill,1389 rivers6388 and streams2988 of waters4325 in the day3117 of the great7227 slaughter,2027 when the towers4026 fall.5307
26 Moreover the light216 of the moon3842 shall be1961 as the light216 of the sun,2535 and the light216 of the sun2535 shall be1961 sevenfold,7659 as the light216 of seven7651 days,3117 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 bindeth up2280 853 the breach7667 of his people,5971 and healeth7495 the stroke4273 of their wound.4347
27 Behold,2009 the name8034 of the LORD3068 cometh935 from far,4480 4801 burning1197 with his anger,639 and the burden4858 thereof is heavy:3514 his lips8193 are full4390 of indignation,2195 and his tongue3956 as a devouring398 fire:784
28 And his breath,7307 as an overflowing7857 stream,5158 shall reach to the midst2673 of5704 the neck,6677 to sift5130 the nations1471 with the sieve5299 of vanity:7723 and there shall be a bridle7448 in5921 the jaws3895 of the people,5971 causing them to err.8582
29 Ye shall have1961 a song,7892 as in the night3915 when a holy solemnity is kept;6942 2282 and gladness8057 of heart,3824 as when one goeth1980 with a pipe2485 to come935 into the mountain2022 of the LORD,3068 to413 the mighty One6697 of Israel.3478
30 And the LORD3068 shall cause 853 his glorious1935 voice6963 to be heard,8085 and shall show7200 the lighting down5183 of his arm,2220 with the indignation2197 of his anger,639 and with the flame3851 of a devouring398 fire,784 with scattering,5311 and tempest,2230 and hailstones.68 1259
31 For3588 through the voice4480 6963 of the LORD3068 shall the Assyrian804 be beaten down,2865 which smote5221 with a rod.7626
32 And in every place3605 where the grounded4145 staff4294 shall pass,4569 which834 the LORD3068 shall lay5117 upon5921 him, it shall be1961 with tabrets8596 and harps:3658 and in battles4421 of shaking8573 will he fight3898 with it.
33 For3588 Tophet8613 is ordained6186 of old;4480 865 yea,1571 for the king4428 it1931 is prepared;3559 he hath made it deep6009 and large:7337 the pile4071 thereof is fire784 and much7235 wood;6086 the breath5397 of the LORD,3068 like a stream5158 of brimstone,1614 doth kindle1197 it.
1 Woe1945 to them that go down3381 to Egypt4714 for help;5833 and stay8172 on5921 horses,5483 and trust982 in5921 chariots,7393 because3588 they are many;7227 and in5921 horsemen,6571 because3588 they are very strong;6105 3966 but they look8159 not3808 unto5921 the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 neither3808 seek1875 the LORD!3068
2 Yet he1931 also1571 is wise,2450 and will bring935 evil,7451 and will not3808 call back5493 his words:1697 but will arise6965 against5921 the house1004 of the evildoers,7489 and against5921 the help5833 of them that work6466 iniquity.205
3 Now the Egyptians4714 are men,120 and not3808 God;410 and their horses5483 flesh,1320 and not3808 spirit.7307 When the LORD3068 shall stretch out5186 his hand,3027 both he that helpeth5826 shall fall,3782 and he that is helped5826 shall fall down,5307 and they all3605 shall fail3615 together.3162
4 For3588 thus3541 hath the LORD3068 spoken559 unto413 me, Like as834 the lion738 and the young lion3715 roaring1897 on5921 his prey,2964 when834 a multitude4393 of shepherds7462 is called forth7121 against5921 him, he will not3808 be afraid2865 of their voice,4480 6963 nor3808 abase6031 himself for the noise4480 1995 of them: so3651 shall the LORD3068 of hosts6635 come down3381 to fight6633 for5921 mount2022 Zion,6726 and for5921 the hill1389 thereof.
5 As birds6833 flying,5774 so3651 will the LORD3068 of hosts6635 defend1598 5921 Jerusalem;3389 defending1598 also he will deliver5337 it; and passing over6452 he will preserve4422 it.
6 Turn7725 ye unto him from whom834 the children1121 of Israel3478 have deeply6009 revolted.5627
7 For3588 in that1931 day3117 every man376 shall cast away3988 his idols457 of silver,3701 and his idols457 of gold,2091 which834 your own hands3027 have made6213 unto you for a sin.2399
8 Then shall the Assyrian804 fall5307 with the sword,2719 not3808 of a mighty man;376 and the sword,2719 not3808 of a mean man,120 shall devour398 him: but he shall flee5127 from4480 6440 the sword,2719 and his young men970 shall be1961 discomfited.4522
9 And he shall pass over5674 to his stronghold5553 for fear,4480 4032 and his princes8269 shall be afraid2865 of the ensign,4480 5251 saith5002 the LORD,3068 whose834 fire217 is in Zion,6726 and his furnace8574 in Jerusalem.3389
1 Behold,2005 a king4428 shall reign4427 in righteousness,6664 and princes8269 shall rule8323 in judgment.4941
2 And a man376 shall be1961 as a hiding place4224 from the wind,7307 and a covert5643 from the tempest;2230 as rivers6388 of water4325 in a dry place,6724 as the shadow6738 of a great3515 rock5553 in a weary5889 land.776
3 And the eyes5869 of them that see7200 shall not3808 be dim,8159 and the ears241 of them that hear8085 shall hearken.7181
4 The heart3824 also of the rash4116 shall understand995 knowledge,3045 and the tongue3956 of the stammerers5926 shall be ready4116 to speak1696 plainly.6703
5 The vile person5036 shall be no3808 more5750 called7121 liberal,5081 nor3808 the churl3596 said559 to be bountiful.7771
6 For3588 the vile person5036 will speak1696 villainy,5039 and his heart3820 will work6213 iniquity,205 to practice6213 hypocrisy,2612 and to utter1696 error8442 against413 the LORD,3068 to make empty7324 the soul5315 of the hungry,7457 and he will cause the drink4945 of the thirsty6771 to fail.2637
7 The instruments3627 also of the churl3596 are evil:7451 he1931 deviseth3289 wicked devices2154 to destroy2254 the poor6041 with lying8267 words,561 even when the needy34 speaketh1696 right.4941
8 But the liberal5081 deviseth3289 liberal things;5081 and by5921 liberal things5081 shall he stand.6965
9 Rise up,6965 ye women802 that are at ease;7600 hear8085 my voice,6963 ye careless982 daughters;1323 give ear238 unto my speech.565
10 Many days3117 and years8141 shall ye be troubled,7264 ye careless women:982 for3588 the vintage1210 shall fail,3615 the gathering625 shall not1097 come.935
11 Tremble,2729 ye women that are at ease;7600 be troubled,7264 ye careless ones:982 strip6584 you, and make you bare,6209 and gird2290 sackcloth upon5921 your loins.2504
12 They shall lament5594 for5921 the teats,7699 for5921 the pleasant2531 fields,7704 for5921 the fruitful6509 vine.1612
13 Upon5921 the land127 of my people5971 shall come up5927 thorns6975 and briers;8068 yea,3588 upon5921 all3605 the houses1004 of joy4885 in the joyous5947 city:7151
14 Because3588 the palaces759 shall be forsaken;5203 the multitude1995 of the city5892 shall be left;5800 the forts6076 and towers975 shall be1961 for1157 dens4631 forever,5704 5769 a joy4885 of wild asses,6501 a pasture4829 of flocks;5739
15 Until5704 the spirit7307 be poured6168 upon5921 us from on high,4480 4791 and the wilderness4057 be1961 a fruitful field,3759 and the fruitful field3759 be counted2803 for a forest.3293
16 Then judgment4941 shall dwell7931 in the wilderness,4057 and righteousness6666 remain3427 in the fruitful field.3759
17 And the work4639 of righteousness6666 shall be1961 peace;7965 and the effect5656 of righteousness6666 quietness8252 and assurance983 forever.5704 5769
18 And my people5971 shall dwell3427 in a peaceable7965 habitation,5116 and in sure4009 dwellings,4908 and in quiet7600 resting places;4496
19 When it shall hail,1258 coming down3381 on the forest;3293 and the city5892 shall be low8213 in a low place.8218
20 Blessed835 are ye that sow2232 beside5921 all3605 waters,4325 that send forth7971 thither the feet7272 of the ox7794 and the ass.2543
1 Woe1945 to thee that spoilest,7703 and thou859 wast not3808 spoiled;7703 and dealest treacherously,898 and they dealt not treacherously898 3808 with thee! when thou shalt cease8552 to spoil,7703 thou shalt be spoiled;7703 and when thou shalt make an end5239 to deal treacherously,898 they shall deal treacherously898 with thee.
2 O LORD,3068 be gracious2603 unto us; we have waited6960 for thee: be1961 thou their arm2220 every morning,1242 our salvation3444 also637 in the time6256 of trouble.6869
3 At the noise4480 6963 of the tumult1995 the people5971 fled;5074 at the lifting up4480 7427 of thyself the nations1471 were scattered.5310
4 And your spoil7998 shall be gathered622 like the gathering625 of the caterpillar:2625 as the running to and fro4944 of locusts1357 shall he run8264 upon them.
5 The LORD3068 is exalted;7682 for3588 he dwelleth7931 on high:4791 he hath filled4390 Zion6726 with judgment4941 and righteousness.6666
6 And wisdom2451 and knowledge1847 shall be1961 the stability530 of thy times,6256 and strength2633 of salvation:3444 the fear3374 of the LORD3068 is his treasure.214
7 Behold,2005 their valiant ones691 shall cry6817 without:2351 the ambassadors4397 of peace7965 shall weep1058 bitterly.4751
8 The highways4546 lie waste,8074 the wayfaring man5674 734 ceaseth:7673 he hath broken6565 the covenant,1285 he hath despised3988 the cities,5892 he regardeth2803 no3808 man.582
9 The earth776 mourneth56 and languisheth:535 Lebanon3844 is ashamed2659 and hewn down:7060 Sharon8289 is1961 like a wilderness;6160 and Bashan1316 and Carmel3760 shake off5287 their fruits.
10 Now6258 will I rise,6965 saith559 the LORD;3068 now6258 will I be exalted;7311 now6258 will I lift up myself.5375
11 Ye shall conceive2029 chaff,2842 ye shall bring forth3205 stubble:7179 your breath,7307 as fire,784 shall devour398 you.
12 And the people5971 shall be1961 as the burnings4955 of lime:7875 as thorns6975 cut up3683 shall they be burned3341 in the fire.784
13 Hear,8085 ye that are far off,7350 what834 I have done;6213 and, ye that are near,7138 acknowledge3045 my might.1369
14 The sinners2400 in Zion6726 are afraid;6342 fearfulness7461 hath surprised270 the hypocrites.2611 Who4310 among us shall dwell1481 with the devouring398 fire?784 who4310 among us shall dwell1481 with everlasting5769 burnings?4168
15 He that walketh1980 righteously,6666 and speaketh1696 uprightly;4339 he that despiseth3988 the gain1215 of oppressions,4642 that shaketh5287 his hands3709 from holding4480 8551 of bribes,7810 that stoppeth331 his ears241 from hearing4480 8085 of blood,1818 and shutteth6105 his eyes5869 from seeing4480 7200 evil;7451
16 He1931 shall dwell7931 on high:4791 his place of defense4869 shall be the munitions4679 of rocks:5553 bread3899 shall be given5414 him; his waters4325 shall be sure.539
17 Thine eyes5869 shall see2372 the king4428 in his beauty:3308 they shall behold7200 the land776 that is very far off.4801
18 Thine heart3820 shall meditate1897 terror.367 Where346 is the scribe?5608 where346 is the receiver?8254 where346 is he that counted5608 853 the towers?4026
19 Thou shalt not3808 see7200 853 a fierce3267 people,5971 a people5971 of a deeper6012 speech8193 than thou canst perceive;4480 8085 of a stammering3932 tongue,3956 that thou canst not369 understand.998
20 Look2372 upon Zion,6726 the city7151 of our solemnities:4150 thine eyes5869 shall see7200 Jerusalem3389 a quiet7600 habitation,5116 a tabernacle168 that shall not1077 be taken down;6813 not1077 one of the stakes3489 thereof shall ever5331 be removed,5265 neither1077 shall any3605 of the cords2256 thereof be broken.5423
21 But3588 518 there8033 the glorious117 LORD3068 will be unto us a place4725 of broad rivers5104 and streams;2975 wherein shall go1980 no1077 galley590 with oars,7885 neither3808 shall gallant117 ship6716 pass5674 thereby.
22 For3588 the LORD3068 is our judge,8199 the LORD3068 is our lawgiver,2710 the LORD3068 is our king;4428 he1931 will save3467 us.
23 Thy tacklings2256 are loosed;5203 they could not1077 well3653 strengthen2388 their mast,8650 they could not1077 spread6566 the sail:5251 then227 is the prey5706 of a great4766 spoil7998 divided;2505 the lame6455 take962 the prey.957
24 And the inhabitant7934 shall not1077 say,559 I am sick:2470 the people5971 that dwell3427 therein shall be forgiven5375 their iniquity.5771
1 Come near,7126 ye nations,1471 to hear;8085 and hearken,7181 ye people:3816 let the earth776 hear,8085 and all that is therein;4393 the world,8398 and all things3605 that come forth6631 of it.
2 For3588 the indignation7110 of the LORD3068 is upon5921 all3605 nations,1471 and his fury2534 upon5921 all3605 their armies:6635 he hath utterly destroyed2763 them, he hath delivered5414 them to the slaughter.2874
3 Their slain2491 also shall be cast out,7993 and their stink889 shall come up5927 out of their carcasses,6297 and the mountains2022 shall be melted4549 with their blood.4480 1818
4 And all3605 the host6635 of heaven8064 shall be dissolved,4743 and the heavens8064 shall be rolled together1556 as a scroll:5612 and all3605 their host6635 shall fall down,5034 as the leaf5929 falleth off5034 from the vine,4480 1612 and as a falling5034 fig from the fig tree.4480 8384
5 For3588 my sword2719 shall be bathed7301 in heaven:8064 behold,2009 it shall come down3381 upon5921 Idumea,123 and upon5921 the people5971 of my curse,2764 to judgment.4941
6 The sword2719 of the LORD3068 is filled4390 with blood,1818 it is made fat1878 with fatness,4480 2459 and with the blood4480 1818 of lambs3733 and goats,6260 with the fat4480 2459 of the kidneys3629 of rams:352 for3588 the LORD3068 hath a sacrifice2077 in Bozrah,1224 and a great1419 slaughter2874 in the land776 of Idumea.123
7 And the unicorns7214 shall come down3381 with5973 them, and the bullocks6499 with5973 the bulls;47 and their land776 shall be soaked7301 with blood,4480 1818 and their dust6083 made fat1878 with fatness.4480 2459
8 For3588 it is the day3117 of the LORD's3068 vengeance,5359 and the year8141 of recompenses7966 for the controversy7379 of Zion.6726
9 And the streams5158 thereof shall be turned2015 into pitch,2203 and the dust6083 thereof into brimstone,1614 and the land776 thereof shall become1961 burning1197 pitch.2203
10 It shall not3808 be quenched3518 night3915 nor day;3119 the smoke6227 thereof shall go up5927 forever:5769 from generation4480 1755 to generation1755 it shall lie waste;2717 none369 shall pass through5674 it forever5331 and ever.5331
11 But the cormorant6893 and the bittern7090 shall possess3423 it; the owl3244 also and the raven6158 shall dwell7931 in it: and he shall stretch out5186 upon5921 it the line6957 of confusion,8414 and the stones68 of emptiness.922
12 They shall call7121 the nobles2715 thereof to the kingdom,4410 but none369 shall be there,8033 and all3605 her princes8269 shall be1961 nothing.657
13 And thorns5518 shall come up5927 in her palaces,759 nettles7057 and brambles2336 in the fortresses4013 thereof: and it shall be1961 a habitation5116 of dragons,8565 and a court2681 for owls.1323 3284
14 The wild beasts of the desert6728 shall also meet6298 with854 the wild beasts of the island,338 and the satyr8163 shall cry7121 to5921 his fellow;7453 the screech owl3917 also389 shall rest7280 there,8033 and find4672 for herself a place of rest.4494
15 There8033 shall the great owl7091 make her nest,7077 and lay,4422 and hatch,1234 and gather1716 under her shadow:6738 there8033 shall the vultures1772 also389 be gathered,6908 every one802 with her mate.7468
16 Seek1875 ye out of4480 5921 the book5612 of the LORD,3068 and read:7121 no3808 one259 of these4480 2007 shall fail,5737 none3808 802 shall want6485 her mate:7468 for3588 my mouth6310 it1931 hath commanded,6680 and his spirit7307 it1931 hath gathered6908 them.
17 And he1931 hath cast5307 the lot1486 for them, and his hand3027 hath divided2505 it unto them by line:6957 they shall possess3423 it forever,5704 5769 from generation1755 to generation1755 shall they dwell7931 therein.
1 The wilderness4057 and the solitary place6723 shall be glad7797 for them; and the desert6160 shall rejoice,1523 and blossom6524 as the rose.2261
2 It shall blossom abundantly,6524 6524 and rejoice1523 even637 with joy1525 and singing:7442 the glory3519 of Lebanon3844 shall be given5414 unto it, the excellency1926 of Carmel3760 and Sharon,8289 they1992 shall see7200 the glory3519 of the LORD,3068 and the excellency1926 of our God.430
3 Strengthen2388 ye the weak7504 hands,3027 and confirm553 the feeble3782 knees.1290
4 Say559 to them that are of a fearful4116 heart,3820 Be strong,2388 fear3372 not:408 behold,2009 your God430 will come935 with vengeance,5359 even God430 with a recompense;1576 he1931 will come935 and save3467 you.
5 Then227 the eyes5869 of the blind5787 shall be opened,6491 and the ears241 of the deaf2795 shall be unstopped.6605
6 Then227 shall the lame6455 man leap1801 as a hart,354 and the tongue3956 of the dumb483 sing:7442 for3588 in the wilderness4057 shall waters4325 break out,1234 and streams5158 in the desert.6160
7 And the parched ground8273 shall become1961 a pool,98 and the thirsty land6774 springs4002 of water:4325 in the habitation5116 of dragons,8565 where each lay,7258 shall be grass2682 with reeds7070 and rushes.1573
8 And a highway4547 shall be1961 there,8033 and a way,1870 and it shall be called7121 The way1870 of holiness;6944 the unclean2931 shall not3808 pass over5674 it; but it1931 shall be for those: the wayfaring men,1980 1870 though fools,191 shall not3808 err8582 therein.
9 No3808 lion738 shall be1961 there,8033 nor1077 any ravenous6530 beast2416 shall go up5927 thereon, it shall not3808 be found4672 there;8033 but the redeemed1350 shall walk1980 there:
10 And the ransomed6299 of the LORD3068 shall return,7725 and come935 to Zion6726 with songs7440 and everlasting5769 joy8342 upon5921 their heads:7218 they shall obtain5381 joy8342 and gladness,8057 and sorrow3015 and sighing585 shall flee away.5127
1 Now it came to pass1961 in the fourteenth702 6240 year8141 of king4428 Hezekiah,2396 that Sennacherib5576 king4428 of Assyria804 came up5927 against5921 all3605 the defensed1219 cities5892 of Judah,3063 and took8610 them.
2 And the king4428 of Assyria804 sent7971 853 Rab-shakeh7262 from Lachish4480 3923 to Jerusalem3389 unto413 king4428 Hezekiah2396 with a great3515 army.2428 And he stood5975 by the conduit8585 of the upper5945 pool1295 in the highway4546 of the fuller's3526 field.7704
3 Then came forth3318 unto413 him Eliakim,471 Hilkiah's2518 son,1121 which834 was over5921 the house,1004 and Shebna7644 the scribe,5608 and Joah,3098 Asaph's623 son,1121 the recorder.2142
4 And Rab-shakeh7262 said559 unto413 them, Say559 ye now4994 to413 Hezekiah,2396 Thus3541 saith559 the great1419 king,4428 the king4428 of Assyria,804 What4100 confidence986 is this2088 wherein834 thou trustest?982
5 I say,559 sayest thou, (but389 they are but vain8193 words)1697 I have counsel6098 and strength1369 for war:4421 now6258 on5921 whom4310 dost thou trust,982 that3588 thou rebellest4775 against me?
6 Lo,2009 thou trustest982 in5921 the staff4938 of this2088 broken7533 reed,7070 on5921 Egypt;4714 whereon834 5921 if a man376 lean,5564 it will go935 into his hand,3709 and pierce5344 it: so3651 is Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt4714 to all3605 that trust982 in5921 him.
7 But3588 if thou say559 to413 me, We trust982 in413 the LORD3068 our God:430 is it not3808 he,1931 853 whose834 high places1116 and whose altars4196 Hezekiah2396 hath taken away,5493 and said559 to Judah3063 and to Jerusalem,3389 Ye shall worship7812 before6440 this2088 altar?4196
8 Now6258 therefore give pledges,6149 I pray thee,4994 to854 my master113 the king4428 of Assyria,804 and I will give5414 thee two thousand505 horses,5483 if518 thou be able3201 on thy part to set5414 riders7392 upon5921 them.
9 How349 then wilt thou turn away7725 853 the face6440 of one259 captain6346 of the least6996 of my master's113 servants,5650 and put thy trust982 on5921 Egypt4714 for chariots7393 and for horsemen?6571
10 And am I now6258 come up5927 without4480 1107 the LORD3068 against5921 this2063 land776 to destroy7843 it? the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Go up5927 against413 this2063 land,776 and destroy7843 it.
11 Then said559 Eliakim471 and Shebna7644 and Joah3098 unto413 Rab-shakeh,7262 Speak,1696 I pray thee,4994 unto413 thy servants5650 in the Syrian language;762 for3588 we587 understand8085 it: and speak1696 not408 to413 us in the Jews' language,3066 in the ears241 of the people5971 that834 are on5921 the wall.2346
12 But Rab-shakeh7262 said,559 Hath my master113 sent7971 me to413 thy master113 and to413 thee to speak1696 853 these428 words?1697 hath he not3808 sent me to5921 the men376 that sit3427 upon5921 the wall,2346 that they may eat398 853 their own dung,6675 and drink8354 853 their own piss4325 7272 with5973 you?
13 Then Rab-shakeh7262 stood,5975 and cried7121 with a loud1419 voice6963 in the Jews' language,3066 and said,559 Hear8085 ye 853 the words1697 of the great1419 king,4428 the king4428 of Assyria.804
14 Thus3541 saith559 the king,4428 Let not408 Hezekiah2396 deceive5377 you: for3588 he shall not3808 be able3201 to deliver5337 you.
15 Neither408 let Hezekiah2396 make you trust982 853 in413 the LORD,3068 saying,559 The LORD3068 will surely deliver5337 5337 us: this2063 city5892 shall not3808 be delivered5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Assyria.804
16 Hearken8085 not408 to413 Hezekiah:2396 for3588 thus3541 saith559 the king4428 of Assyria,804 Make6213 an agreement with854 me by a present,1293 and come out3318 to413 me: and eat398 ye every one376 of his vine,1612 and every one376 of his fig tree,8384 and drink8354 ye every one376 the waters4325 of his own cistern;953
17 Until5704 I come935 and take you away3947 853 to413 a land776 like your own land,776 a land776 of corn1715 and wine,8492 a land776 of bread3899 and vineyards.3754
18 Beware lest6435 Hezekiah2396 persuade5496 you, saying,559 The LORD3068 will deliver5337 us. Hath any376 of the gods430 of the nations1471 delivered5337 853 his land776 out of the hand4480 3027 of the king4428 of Assyria?804
19 Where346 are the gods430 of Hamath2574 and Arphad?774 where346 are the gods430 of Sepharvaim?5617 and3588 have they delivered5337 853 Samaria8111 out of my hand?4480 3027
20 Who4310 are they among all3605 the gods430 of these428 lands,776 that834 have delivered5337 853 their land776 out of my hand,4480 3027 that3588 the LORD3068 should deliver5337 853 Jerusalem3389 out of my hand?4480 3027
21 But they held their peace,2790 and answered6030 him not3808 a word:1697 for3588 the king's4428 commandment4687 was, saying,559 Answer6030 him not.3808
22 Then came935 Eliakim,471 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 that834 was over5921 the household,1004 and Shebna7644 the scribe,5608 and Joah,3098 the son1121 of Asaph,623 the recorder,2142 to413 Hezekiah2396 with their clothes899 rent,7167 and told5046 him 853 the words1697 of Rab-shakeh.7262
1 And it came to pass,1961 when king4428 Hezekiah2396 heard8085 it, that he rent7167 853 his clothes,899 and covered himself3680 with sackcloth,8242 and went935 into the house1004 of the LORD.3068
2 And he sent7971 853 Eliakim,471 who834 was over5921 the household,1004 and Shebna7644 the scribe,5608 and the elders2205 of the priests3548 covered3680 with sackcloth,8242 unto413 Isaiah3470 the prophet5030 the son1121 of Amoz.531
3 And they said559 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 Hezekiah,2396 This2088 day3117 is a day3117 of trouble,6869 and of rebuke,8433 and of blasphemy:5007 for3588 the children1121 are come935 to5704 the birth,4866 and there is not369 strength3581 to bring forth.3205
4 It may be194 the LORD3068 thy God430 will hear8085 853 the words1697 of Rab-shakeh,7262 whom834 the king4428 of Assyria804 his master113 hath sent7971 to reproach2778 the living2416 God,430 and will reprove3198 the words1697 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 hath heard:8085 wherefore lift up5375 thy prayer8605 for1157 the remnant7611 that is left.4672
5 So the servants5650 of king4428 Hezekiah2396 came935 to413 Isaiah.3470
6 And Isaiah3470 said559 unto413 them, Thus3541 shall ye say559 unto413 your master,113 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Be not afraid3372 408 of4480 6440 the words1697 that834 thou hast heard,8085 wherewith834 the servants5288 of the king4428 of Assyria804 have blasphemed1442 me.
7 Behold,2009 I will send5414 a blast7307 upon him, and he shall hear8085 a rumor,8052 and return7725 to413 his own land;776 and I will cause him to fall5307 by the sword2719 in his own land.776
8 So Rab-shakeh7262 returned,7725 and found4672 853 the king4428 of Assyria804 warring3898 against5921 Libnah:3841 for3588 he had heard8085 that3588 he was departed5265 from Lachish.4480 3923
9 And he heard8085 say559 concerning5921 Tirhakah8640 king4428 of Ethiopia,3568 He is come forth3318 to make war3898 with854 thee. And when he heard8085 it, he sent7971 messengers4397 to413 Hezekiah,2396 saying,559
10 Thus3541 shall ye speak559 to413 Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah,3063 saying,559 Let not408 thy God,430 in whom834 thou859 trustest,982 deceive5377 thee, saying,559 Jerusalem3389 shall not3808 be given5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Assyria.804
11 Behold,2009 thou859 hast heard8085 what834 the kings4428 of Assyria804 have done6213 to all3605 lands776 by destroying them utterly;2763 and shalt thou859 be delivered?5337
12 Have the gods430 of the nations1471 delivered5337 them which834 my fathers1 have destroyed,7843 as 853 Gozan,1470 and Haran,2771 and Rezeph,7530 and the children1121 of Eden5729 which834 were in Telassar?8515
13 Where346 is the king4428 of Hamath,2574 and the king4428 of Arphad,774 and the king4428 of the city5892 of Sepharvaim,5617 Hena,2012 and Ivah?5755
14 And Hezekiah2396 received3947 853 the letter5612 from the hand4480 3027 of the messengers,4397 and read7121 it: and Hezekiah2396 went up5927 unto the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and spread6566 it before6440 the LORD.3068
15 And Hezekiah2396 prayed6419 unto413 the LORD,3068 saying,559
16 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 God430 of Israel,3478 that dwellest3427 between the cherubims,3742 thou859 art the God,430 even thou alone,905 of all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth:776 thou859 hast made6213 853 heaven8064 and earth.776
17 Incline5186 thine ear,241 O LORD,3068 and hear;8085 open6491 thine eyes,5869 O LORD,3068 and see:7200 and hear8085 853 all3605 the words1697 of Sennacherib,5576 which834 hath sent7971 to reproach2778 the living2416 God.430
18 Of a truth,551 LORD,3068 the kings4428 of Assyria804 have laid waste2717 853 all3605 the nations,776 and their countries,776
19 And have cast5414 853 their gods430 into the fire:784 for3588 they1992 were no3808 gods,430 but3588 518 the work4639 of men's120 hands,3027 wood6086 and stone:68 therefore they have destroyed6 them.
20 Now6258 therefore, O LORD3068 our God,430 save3467 us from his hand,4480 3027 that all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth776 may know3045 that3588 thou859 art the LORD,3068 even thou only.905
21 Then Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz531 sent7971 unto413 Hezekiah,2396 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 Whereas834 thou hast prayed6419 to413 me against413 Sennacherib5576 king4428 of Assyria:804
22 This2088 is the word1697 which834 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 concerning5921 him; The virgin,1330 the daughter1323 of Zion,6726 hath despised936 thee, and laughed thee to scorn;3932 the daughter1323 of Jerusalem3389 hath shaken5128 her head7218 at310 thee.
23 853 Whom4310 hast thou reproached2778 and blasphemed?1442 and against5921 whom4310 hast thou exalted7311 thy voice,6963 and lifted up5375 thine eyes5869 on high?4791 even against413 the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
24 By3027 thy servants5650 hast thou reproached2778 the Lord,136 and hast said,559 By the multitude7230 of my chariots7393 am I589 come up5927 to the height4791 of the mountains,2022 to the sides3411 of Lebanon;3844 and I will cut down3772 the tall6967 cedars730 thereof, and the choice4005 fir trees1265 thereof: and I will enter935 into the height4791 of his border,7093 and the forest3293 of his Carmel.3759
25 I589 have digged,6979 and drunk8354 water;4325 and with the sole3709 of my feet6471 have I dried up2717 all3605 the rivers2975 of the besieged places.4693
26 Hast thou not3808 heard8085 long ago,4480 7350 how I have done6213 it; and of ancient6924 times,4480 3117 that I have formed3335 it? now6258 have I brought it to pass,935 that thou shouldest be1961 to lay waste7582 defensed1219 cities5892 into ruinous5327 heaps.1530
27 Therefore their inhabitants3427 were of small7116 power,3027 they were dismayed2865 and confounded:954 they were1961 as the grass6212 of the field,7704 and as the green3419 herb,1877 as the grass2682 on the housetops,1406 and as corn blasted7711 before6440 it be grown up.7054
28 But I know3045 thy abode,3427 and thy going out,3318 and thy coming in,935 and thy rage7264 against413 me.
29 Because3282 thy rage7264 against413 me, and thy tumult,7600 is come up5927 into mine ears,241 therefore will I put7760 my hook2397 in thy nose,639 and my bridle4964 in thy lips,8193 and I will turn thee back7725 by the way1870 by which834 thou camest.935
30 And this2088 shall be a sign226 unto thee, Ye shall eat398 this year8141 such as groweth of itself;5599 and the second8145 year8141 that which springeth of the same:7823 and in the third7992 year8141 sow2232 ye, and reap,7114 and plant5193 vineyards,3754 and eat398 the fruit6529 thereof.
31 And the remnant7604 that is escaped6413 of the house1004 of Judah3063 shall again3254 take root8328 downward,4295 and bear6213 fruit6529 upward:4605
32 For3588 out of Jerusalem4480 3389 shall go forth3318 a remnant,7611 and they that escape6413 out of mount4480 2022 Zion:6726 the zeal7068 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 shall do6213 this.2063
33 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning413 the king4428 of Assyria,804 He shall not3808 come935 into413 this2063 city,5892 nor3808 shoot3384 an arrow2671 there,8033 nor3808 come before6923 it with shields,4043 nor3808 cast8210 a bank5550 against5921 it.
34 By the way1870 that834 he came,935 by the same shall he return,7725 and shall not3808 come935 into413 this2063 city,5892 saith5002 the LORD.3068
35 For I will defend1598 5921 this2063 city5892 to save3467 it for mine own sake,4616 and for my servant5650 David's1732 sake.4616
36 Then the angel4397 of the LORD3068 went forth,3318 and smote5221 in the camp4264 of the Assyrians804 a hundred3967 and fourscore8084 and five2568 thousand:505 and when they arose early7925 in the morning,1242 behold,2009 they were all3605 dead4191 corpses.6297
37 So Sennacherib5576 king4428 of Assyria804 departed,5265 and went1980 and returned,7725 and dwelt3427 at Nineveh.5210
38 And it came to pass,1961 as he1931 was worshiping7812 in the house1004 of Nisroch5268 his god,430 that Adrammelech152 and Sharezer8272 his sons1121 smote5221 him with the sword;2719 and they1992 escaped4422 into the land776 of Armenia:780 and Esar-haddon634 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478
1 In those1992 days3117 was Hezekiah sick2470 2396 unto death.4191 And Isaiah3470 the prophet5030 the son1121 of Amoz531 came935 unto413 him, and said559 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Set thine house in order:6680 1004 for3588 thou859 shalt die,4191 and not3808 live.2421
2 Then Hezekiah2396 turned5437 his face6440 toward413 the wall,7023 and prayed6419 unto413 the LORD,3068
3 And said,559 Remember2142 now,4994 O LORD,3068 I beseech thee,577 853 how834 I have walked1980 before6440 thee in truth571 and with a perfect8003 heart,3820 and have done6213 that which is good2896 in thy sight.5869 And Hezekiah2396 wept1058 sore.1419 1065
4 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 to413 Isaiah,3470 saying,559
5 Go,1980 and say559 to413 Hezekiah,2396 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of David1732 thy father,1 I have heard8085 853 thy prayer,8605 I have seen7200 853 thy tears:1832 behold,2009 I will add3254 unto5921 thy days3117 fifteen2568 6240 years.8141
6 And I will deliver5337 thee and this2063 city5892 out of the hand4480 3709 of the king4428 of Assyria:804 and I will defend1598 5921 this2063 city.5892
7 And this2088 shall be a sign226 unto thee from4480 854 the LORD,3068 that834 the LORD3068 will do6213 853 this2088 thing1697 that834 he hath spoken;1696
8 Behold,2009 I will bring again7725 853 the shadow6738 of the degrees,4609 which834 is gone down3381 in the sun8121 dial4609 of Ahaz,271 ten6235 degrees4609 backward.322 So the sun8121 returned7725 ten6235 degrees,4609 by which834 degrees4609 it was gone down.3381
9 The writing4385 of Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah,3063 when he had been sick,2470 and was recovered2421 of his sickness:4480 2483
10 I589 said559 in the cutting off1824 of my days,3117 I shall go1980 to the gates8179 of the grave:7585 I am deprived6485 of the residue3499 of my years.8141
11 I said,559 I shall not3808 see7200 the LORD,3050 even the LORD,3050 in the land776 of the living:2416 I shall behold5027 man120 no3808 more5750 with5973 the inhabitants3427 of the world.2309
12 Mine age1755 is departed,5265 and is removed1540 from4480 me as a shepherd's7473 tent:168 I have cut off7088 like a weaver707 my life:2416 he will cut me off1214 with pining sickness:4480 1803 from day4480 3117 even to5704 night3915 wilt thou make an end7999 of me.
13 I reckoned7737 till5704 morning,1242 that, as a lion,738 so3651 will he break7665 all3605 my bones:6106 from day4480 3117 even to5704 night3915 wilt thou make an end7999 of me.
14 Like a crane5483 or a swallow,5693 so3651 did I chatter:6850 I did mourn1897 as a dove:3123 mine eyes5869 fail1809 with looking upward:4791 O LORD,136 I am oppressed;6234 undertake6149 for me.
15 What4100 shall I say?1696 he hath both spoken559 unto me, and himself1931 hath done6213 it: I shall go softly1718 all3605 my years8141 in5921 the bitterness4751 of my soul.5315
16 O Lord,136 by5921 these things men live,2421 and in all3605 these2004 things is the life2416 of my spirit:7307 so wilt thou recover2492 me, and make me to live.2421
17 Behold,2009 for peace7965 I had great bitterness:4751 4843 but thou859 hast in love2836 to my soul5315 delivered it from the pit4480 7845 of corruption:1097 for3588 thou hast cast7993 all3605 my sins2399 behind310 thy back.1460
18 For3588 the grave7585 cannot3808 praise3034 thee, death4194 can not celebrate1984 thee: they that go down3381 into the pit953 cannot3808 hope7663 for413 thy truth.571
19 The living,2416 the living,2416 he1931 shall praise3034 thee, as I do this day:3117 the father1 to the children1121 shall make known3045 413 thy truth.571
20 The LORD3068 was ready to save3467 me: therefore we will sing my songs5059 to the stringed instruments5058 all3605 the days3117 of our life2416 in5921 the house1004 of the LORD.3068
21 For Isaiah3470 had said,559 Let them take5375 a lump1690 of figs,8384 and lay it for a plaster4799 upon5921 the boil,7822 and he shall recover.2421
22 Hezekiah2396 also had said,559 What4100 is the sign226 that3588 I shall go up5927 to the house1004 of the LORD?3068
1 At that1931 time6256 Merodach-baladan,4757 the son1121 of Baladan,1081 king4428 of Babylon,894 sent7971 letters5612 and a present4503 to413 Hezekiah:2396 for he had heard8085 that3588 he had been sick,2470 and was recovered.2388
2 And Hezekiah2396 was glad8055 of5921 them, and showed7200 them 853 the house1004 of his precious things,5238 853 the silver,3701 and the gold,2091 and the spices,1314 and the precious2896 ointment,8081 and all3605 the house1004 of his armor,3627 and all3605 that834 was found4672 in his treasures:214 there was1961 nothing3808 1697 in his house,1004 nor in all3605 his dominion,4475 that834 Hezekiah2396 showed7200 them not.3808
3 Then came935 Isaiah3470 the prophet5030 unto413 king4428 Hezekiah,2396 and said559 unto413 him, What4100 said559 these428 men?376 and from whence4480 370 came935 they unto413 thee? And Hezekiah2396 said,559 They are come935 from a far7350 country4480 776 unto413 me, even from Babylon.4480 894
4 Then said559 he, What4100 have they seen7200 in thine house?1004 And Hezekiah2396 answered,559 853 All3605 that834 is in mine house1004 have they seen:7200 there is1961 nothing3808 1697 among my treasures214 that834 I have not3808 showed7200 them.
5 Then said559 Isaiah3470 to413 Hezekiah,2396 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD3068 of hosts:6635
6 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 that all3605 that834 is in thine house,1004 and that which834 thy fathers1 have laid up in store686 until5704 this2088 day,3117 shall be carried5375 to Babylon:894 nothing3808 1697 shall be left,3498 saith559 the LORD.3068
7 And of thy sons4480 1121 that834 shall issue3318 from4480 thee, which834 thou shalt beget,3205 shall they take away;3947 and they shall be1961 eunuchs5631 in the palace1964 of the king4428 of Babylon.894
8 Then said559 Hezekiah2396 to413 Isaiah,3470 Good2896 is the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 thou hast spoken.1696 He said559 moreover, For3588 there shall be1961 peace7965 and truth571 in my days.3117
1 Comfort5162 ye, comfort5162 ye my people,5971 saith559 your God.430
2 Speak1696 ye comfortably5921 3820 to Jerusalem,3389 and cry7121 unto413 her, that3588 her warfare6635 is accomplished,4390 that3588 her iniquity5771 is pardoned:7521 for3588 she hath received3947 of the LORD's3068 hand4480 3027 double3718 for all3605 her sins.2403
3 The voice6963 of him that crieth7121 in the wilderness,4057 Prepare6437 ye the way1870 of the LORD,3068 make straight3474 in the desert6160 a highway4546 for our God.430
4 Every3605 valley1516 shall be exalted,5375 and every3605 mountain2022 and hill1389 shall be made low:8213 and the crooked6121 shall be made1961 straight,4334 and the rough places7406 plain:1237
5 And the glory3519 of the LORD3068 shall be revealed,1540 and all3605 flesh1320 shall see7200 it together:3162 for3588 the mouth6310 of the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.
6 The voice6963 said,559 Cry.7121 And he said,559 What4100 shall I cry?7121 All3605 flesh1320 is grass,2682 and all3605 the goodliness2617 thereof is as the flower6731 of the field:7704
7 The grass2682 withereth,3001 the flower6731 fadeth:5034 because3588 the spirit7307 of the LORD3068 bloweth5380 upon it: surely403 the people5971 is grass.2682
8 The grass2682 withereth,3001 the flower6731 fadeth:5034 but the word1697 of our God430 shall stand6965 forever.5769
9 O Zion,6726 that bringest good tidings,1319 get thee up5927 into5921 the high1364 mountain;2022 O Jerusalem,3389 that bringest good tidings,1319 lift up7311 thy voice6963 with strength;3581 lift it up,7311 be not afraid;3372 408 say559 unto the cities5892 of Judah,3063 Behold2009 your God!430
10 Behold,2009 the Lord136 GOD3069 will come935 with strong2389 hand, and his arm2220 shall rule4910 for him: behold,2009 his reward7939 is with854 him, and his work6468 before6440 him.
11 He shall feed7462 his flock5739 like a shepherd:7462 he shall gather6908 the lambs2922 with his arm,2220 and carry5375 them in his bosom,2436 and shall gently lead5095 those that are with young.5763
12 Who4310 hath measured4058 the waters4325 in the hollow of his hand,8168 and meted out8505 heaven8064 with the span,2239 and comprehended3557 the dust6083 of the earth776 in a measure,7991 and weighed8254 the mountains2022 in scales,6425 and the hills1389 in a balance?3976
13 Who4310 hath directed8505 853 the Spirit7307 of the LORD,3068 or being his counselor376 6098 hath taught3045 him?
14 853 With whom4310 took he counsel,3289 and who instructed995 him, and taught3925 him in the path734 of judgment,4941 and taught3925 him knowledge,1847 and showed3045 to him the way1870 of understanding?8394
15 Behold,2005 the nations1471 are as a drop4752 of a bucket,4480 1805 and are counted2803 as the small dust7834 of the balance:3976 behold,2005 he taketh up5190 the isles339 as a very little thing.1851
16 And Lebanon3844 is not369 sufficient1767 to burn,1197 nor369 the beasts2416 thereof sufficient1767 for a burnt offering.5930
17 All3605 nations1471 before5048 him are as nothing;369 and they are counted2803 to him less than nothing,4480 657 and vanity.8414
18 To413 whom4310 then will ye liken1819 God?410 or what4100 likeness1823 will ye compare6186 unto him?
19 The workman2796 melteth5258 a graven image,6459 and the goldsmith6884 spreadeth it over7554 with gold,2091 and casteth6884 silver3701 chains.7577
20 He that is so impoverished5533 that he hath no oblation8641 chooseth977 a tree6086 that will not3808 rot;7537 he seeketh1245 unto him a cunning2450 workman2796 to prepare3559 a graven image,6459 that shall not3808 be moved.4131
21 Have ye not3808 known?3045 have ye not3808 heard?8085 hath it not3808 been told5046 you from the beginning?4480 7218 have ye not3808 understood995 from the foundations4480 4146 of the earth?776
22 It is he that sitteth3427 upon5921 the circle2329 of the earth,776 and the inhabitants3427 thereof are as grasshoppers;2284 that stretcheth out5186 the heavens8064 as a curtain,1852 and spreadeth them out4969 as a tent168 to dwell in:3427
23 That bringeth5414 the princes7336 to nothing;369 he maketh6213 the judges8199 of the earth776 as vanity.8414
24 Yea,637 they shall not1077 be planted;5193 yea,637 they shall not1077 be sown:2232 yea,637 their stock1503 shall not1077 take root8327 in the earth:776 and he shall also1571 blow5398 upon them, and they shall wither,3001 and the whirlwind5591 shall take them away5375 as stubble.7179
25 To413 whom4310 then will ye liken1819 me, or shall I be equal?7737 saith559 the Holy One.6918
26 Lift up5375 your eyes5869 on high,4791 and behold7200 who4310 hath created1254 these428 things, that bringeth out3318 their host6635 by number:4557 he calleth7121 them all3605 by names8034 by the greatness4480 7230 of his might,202 for that he is strong533 in power;3581 not3808 one376 faileth.5737
27 Why4100 sayest559 thou, O Jacob,3290 and speakest,1696 O Israel,3478 My way1870 is hid5641 from the LORD,4480 3068 and my judgment4941 is passed over5674 from my God?4480 430
28 Hast thou not3808 known?3045 hast thou not3808 heard,8085 that the everlasting5769 God,430 the LORD,3068 the Creator1254 of the ends7098 of the earth,776 fainteth3286 not,3808 neither3808 is weary?3021 there is no369 searching2714 of his understanding.8394
29 He giveth5414 power3581 to the faint;3287 and to them that have no369 might202 he increaseth7235 strength.6109
30 Even the youths5288 shall faint3286 and be weary,3021 and the young men970 shall utterly fall:3782 3782
31 But they that wait upon6960 the LORD3068 shall renew2498 their strength;3581 they shall mount up5927 with wings83 as eagles;5404 they shall run,7323 and not3808 be weary;3021 and they shall walk,1980 and not3808 faint.3286
1 Keep silence2790 before413 me, O islands;339 and let the people3816 renew2498 their strength:3581 let them come near;5066 then227 let them speak:1696 let us come near7126 together3162 to judgment.4941
2 Who4310 raised up5782 the righteous6664 man from the east,4480 4217 called7121 him to his foot,7272 gave5414 the nations1471 before6440 him, and made him rule7287 over kings?4428 he gave5414 them as the dust6083 to his sword,2719 and as driven5086 stubble7179 to his bow.7198
3 He pursued7291 them, and passed5674 safely;7965 even by the way734 that he had not3808 gone935 with his feet.7272
4 Who4310 hath wrought6466 and done6213 it, calling7121 the generations1755 from the beginning?4480 7218 I589 the LORD,3068 the first,7223 and with854 the last;314 I589 am he.1931
5 The isles339 saw7200 it, and feared;3372 the ends7098 of the earth776 were afraid,2729 drew near,7126 and came.857
6 They helped5826 every one376 853 his neighbor;7453 and every one said559 to his brother,251 Be of good courage.2388
7 So the carpenter2796 encouraged2388 853 the goldsmith,6884 and he that smootheth2505 with the hammer6360 853 him that smote1986 the anvil,6471 saying,559 It1931 is ready2896 for the soldering:1694 and he fastened2388 it with nails,4548 that it should not3808 be moved.4131
8 But thou,859 Israel,3478 art my servant,5650 Jacob3290 whom834 I have chosen,977 the seed2233 of Abraham85 my friend.157
9 Thou whom834 I have taken2388 from the ends4480 7098 of the earth,776 and called7121 thee from the chief men4480 678 thereof, and said559 unto thee, Thou859 art my servant;5650 I have chosen977 thee, and not3808 cast thee away.3988
10 Fear3372 thou not;408 for3588 I589 am with5973 thee: be not408 dismayed;8159 for3588 I589 am thy God:430 I will strengthen553 thee; yea,637 I will help5826 thee; yea,637 I will uphold8551 thee with the right hand3225 of my righteousness.6664
11 Behold,2005 all3605 they that were incensed2734 against thee shall be ashamed954 and confounded:3637 they shall be1961 as nothing;369 and they376 that strive7379 with thee shall perish.6
12 Thou shalt seek1245 them, and shalt not3808 find4672 them,376 even them that contended4695 with thee: they376 that war4421 against thee shall be1961 as nothing,369 and as a thing of naught.657
13 For3588 I589 the LORD3068 thy God430 will hold2388 thy right hand,3225 saying559 unto thee, Fear3372 not;408 I589 will help5826 thee.
14 Fear3372 not,408 thou worm8438 Jacob,3290 and ye men4962 of Israel;3478 I589 will help5826 thee, saith5002 the LORD,3068 and thy redeemer,1350 the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
15 Behold,2009 I will make7760 thee a new2319 sharp2742 threshing instrument4173 having1167 teeth:6374 thou shalt thresh1758 the mountains,2022 and beat them small,1854 and shalt make7760 the hills1389 as chaff.4671
16 Thou shalt fan2219 them, and the wind7307 shall carry them away,5375 and the whirlwind5591 shall scatter6327 them: and thou859 shalt rejoice1523 in the LORD,3068 and shalt glory1984 in the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
17 When the poor6041 and needy34 seek1245 water,4325 and there is none,369 and their tongue3956 faileth5405 for thirst,6772 I589 the LORD3068 will hear6030 them, I the God430 of Israel3478 will not3808 forsake5800 them.
18 I will open6605 rivers5104 in5921 high places,8205 and fountains4599 in the midst8432 of the valleys:1237 I will make7760 the wilderness4057 a pool98 of water,4325 and the dry6723 land776 springs4161 of water.4325
19 I will plant5414 in the wilderness4057 the cedar,730 the shittah tree,7848 and the myrtle,1918 and the oil8081 tree;6086 I will set7760 in the desert6160 the fir tree,1265 and the pine,8410 and the box tree8391 together:3162
20 That4616 they may see,7200 and know,3045 and consider,7760 and understand7919 together,3162 that3588 the hand3027 of the LORD3068 hath done6213 this,2063 and the Holy One6918 of Israel3478 hath created1254 it.
21 Produce7126 your cause,7379 saith559 the LORD;3068 bring forth5066 your strong6110 reasons, saith559 the King4428 of Jacob.3290
22 Let them bring them forth,5066 and show5046 us 853 what834 shall happen:7136 let them show5046 the former things,7223 what4100 they2007 be, that we may consider7760 3820 them, and know3045 the latter end319 of them; or176 declare8085 us things for to come.935
23 Show5046 the things that are to come857 hereafter,268 that we may know3045 that3588 ye859 are gods:430 yea,637 do good,3190 or do evil,7489 that we may be dismayed,8159 and behold7200 it together.3162
24 Behold,2005 ye859 are of nothing,4480 369 and your work6467 of naught:4480 659 an abomination8441 is he that chooseth977 you.
25 I have raised up5782 one from the north,4480 6828 and he shall come:857 from the rising4480 4217 of the sun8121 shall he call7121 upon my name:8034 and he shall come935 upon princes5461 as3644 upon mortar,2563 and as3644 the potter3335 treadeth7429 clay.2916
26 Who4310 hath declared5046 from the beginning,4480 7218 that we may know?3045 and formerly,4480 6440 that we may say,559 He is righteous?6662 yea,637 there is none369 that showeth,5046 yea,637 there is none369 that declareth,8085 yea,637 there is none369 that heareth8085 your words.561
27 The first7223 shall say to Zion,6726 Behold,2009 behold2009 them: and I will give5414 to Jerusalem3389 one that bringeth good tidings.1319
28 For I beheld,7200 and there was no369 man;376 even among them,4480 428 and there was no369 counselor,3289 that, when I asked7592 of them, could answer7725 a word.1697
29 Behold,2005 they are all3605 vanity;205 their works4639 are nothing:657 their molten images5262 are wind7307 and confusion.8414
1 Behold2005 my servant,5650 whom I uphold;8551 mine elect,972 in whom my soul5315 delighteth;7521 I have put5414 my spirit7307 upon5921 him: he shall bring forth3318 judgment4941 to the Gentiles.1471
2 He shall not3808 cry,6817 nor3808 lift up,5375 nor3808 cause his voice6963 to be heard8085 in the street.2351
3 A bruised7533 reed7070 shall he not3808 break,7665 and the smoking3544 flax6594 shall he not3808 quench:3518 he shall bring forth3318 judgment4941 unto truth.571
4 He shall not3808 fail3543 nor3808 be discouraged,7533 till5704 he have set7760 judgment4941 in the earth:776 and the isles339 shall wait3176 for his law.8451
5 Thus3541 saith559 God410 the LORD,3068 he that created1254 the heavens,8064 and stretched them out;5186 he that spread forth7554 the earth,776 and that which cometh out6631 of it; he that giveth5414 breath5397 unto the people5971 upon5921 it, and spirit7307 to them that walk1980 therein:
6 I589 the LORD3068 have called7121 thee in righteousness,6664 and will hold2388 thine hand,3027 and will keep5341 thee, and give5414 thee for a covenant1285 of the people,5971 for a light216 of the Gentiles;1471
7 To open6491 the blind5787 eyes,5869 to bring out3318 the prisoners616 from the prison,4480 4525 and them that sit3427 in darkness2822 out of the prison3608 house.4480 1004
8 I589 am the LORD:3068 that1931 is my name:8034 and my glory3519 will I not3808 give5414 to another,312 neither my praise8416 to graven images.6456
9 Behold,2009 the former things7223 are come to pass,935 and new things2319 do I589 declare:5046 before2962 they spring forth6779 I tell8085 you of them.
10 Sing7891 unto the LORD3068 a new2319 song,7892 and his praise8416 from the end4480 7097 of the earth,776 ye that go down3381 to the sea,3220 and all that is therein;4393 the isles,339 and the inhabitants3427 thereof.
11 Let the wilderness4057 and the cities5892 thereof lift up5375 their voice, the villages2691 that Kedar6938 doth inhabit:3427 let the inhabitants3427 of the rock5553 sing,7442 let them shout6681 from the top4480 7218 of the mountains.2022
12 Let them give7760 glory3519 unto the LORD,3068 and declare5046 his praise8416 in the islands.339
13 The LORD3068 shall go forth3318 as a mighty man,1368 he shall stir up5782 jealousy7068 like a man376 of war:4421 he shall cry,7321 yea,637 roar;6873 he shall prevail1396 against5921 his enemies.341
14 I have long time4480 5769 holden my peace;2814 I have been still,2790 and refrained myself:662 now will I cry6463 like a travailing woman;3205 I will destroy5395 and devour7602 at once.3162
15 I will make waste2717 mountains2022 and hills,1389 and dry up3001 all3605 their herbs;6212 and I will make7760 the rivers5104 islands,339 and I will dry up3001 the pools.98
16 And I will bring1980 the blind5787 by a way1870 that they knew3045 not;3808 I will lead them1869 in paths5410 that they have not3808 known:3045 I will make7760 darkness4285 light216 before6440 them, and crooked things4625 straight.4334 These428 things1697 will I do6213 unto them, and not3808 forsake5800 them.
17 They shall be turned5472 back,268 they shall be greatly ashamed,954 1322 that trust982 in graven images,6459 that say559 to the molten images,4541 Ye859 are our gods.430
18 Hear,8085 ye deaf;2795 and look,5027 ye blind,5787 that ye may see.7200
19 Who4310 is blind,5787 but3588 518 my servant?5650 or deaf,2795 as my messenger4397 that I sent?7971 who4310 is blind5787 as he that is perfect,7999 and blind5787 as the LORD's3068 servant?5650
20 Seeing7200 many things,7227 but thou observest8104 not;3808 opening6491 the ears,241 but he heareth8085 not.3808
21 The LORD3068 is well pleased2654 for his righteousness' sake;4616 6664 he will magnify1431 the law,8451 and make it honorable.142
22 But this1931 is a people5971 robbed962 and spoiled;8154 they are all3605 of them snared6351 in holes,2352 and they are hid2244 in prison3608 houses:1004 they are1961 for a prey,957 and none369 delivereth;5337 for a spoil,4933 and none369 saith,559 Restore.7725
23 Who4310 among you will give ear238 to this?2063 who will hearken7181 and hear8085 for the time to come?268
24 Who4310 gave5414 Jacob3290 for a spoil,4933 and Israel3478 to the robbers?962 did not3808 the LORD,3068 he against whom2098 we have sinned?2398 for they would14 not3808 walk1980 in his ways,1870 neither3808 were they obedient8085 unto his law.8451
25 Therefore he hath poured8210 upon5921 him the fury2534 of his anger,639 and the strength5807 of battle:4421 and it hath set him on fire3857 round about,4480 5439 yet he knew3045 not;3808 and it burned1197 him, yet he laid7760 it not3808 to5921 heart.3820
1 But now6258 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 that created1254 thee, O Jacob,3290 and he that formed3335 thee, O Israel,3478 Fear3372 not:408 for3588 I have redeemed1350 thee, I have called7121 thee by thy name;8034 thou859 art mine.
2 When3588 thou passest through5674 the waters,4325 I589 will be with854 thee; and through the rivers,5104 they shall not3808 overflow7857 thee: when3588 thou walkest1980 through1119 the fire,784 thou shalt not3808 be burned;3554 neither3808 shall the flame3852 kindle1197 upon thee.
3 For3588 I589 am the LORD3068 thy God,430 the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 thy Savior:3467 I gave5414 Egypt4714 for thy ransom,3724 Ethiopia3568 and Seba5434 for8478 thee.
4 Since4480 834 thou wast precious3365 in my sight,5869 thou hast been honorable,3513 and I589 have loved157 thee: therefore will I give5414 men120 for8478 thee, and people3816 for8478 thy life.5315
5 Fear3372 not:408 for3588 I589 am with854 thee: I will bring935 thy seed2233 from the east,4480 4217 and gather6908 thee from the west;4480 4628
6 I will say559 to the north,6828 Give up;5414 and to the south,8486 Keep not back:3607 408 bring935 my sons1121 from far,4480 7350 and my daughters1323 from the ends4480 7097 of the earth;776
7 Even every one3605 that is called7121 by my name:8034 for I have created1254 him for my glory,3519 I have formed3335 him; yea,637 I have made6213 him.
8 Bring forth3318 the blind5787 people5971 that have3426 eyes,5869 and the deaf2795 that have ears.241
9 Let all3605 the nations1471 be gathered6908 together,3162 and let the people3816 be assembled:622 who4310 among them can declare5046 this,2063 and show8085 us former things?7223 let them bring forth5414 their witnesses,5707 that they may be justified:6663 or let them hear,8085 and say,559 It is truth.571
10 Ye859 are my witnesses,5707 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and my servant5650 whom834 I have chosen:977 that4616 ye may know3045 and believe539 me, and understand995 that3588 I589 am he:1931 before6440 me there was no3808 God410 formed,3335 neither3808 shall there be1961 after310 me.
11 I,595 even I,595 am the LORD;3068 and beside4480 1107 me there is no369 savior.3467
12 I595 have declared,5046 and have saved,3467 and I have showed,8085 when there was no369 strange2114 god among you: therefore ye859 are my witnesses,5707 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I589 am God.410
13 Yea,1571 before the day4480 3117 was I589 am he;1931 and there is none369 that can deliver5337 out of my hand:4480 3027 I will work,6466 and who4310 shall let7725 it?
14 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 your redeemer,1350 the Holy One6918 of Israel;3478 For your sake4616 I have sent7971 to Babylon,894 and have brought down3381 all3605 their nobles,1281 and the Chaldeans,3778 whose cry7440 is in the ships.591
15 I589 am the LORD,3068 your Holy One,6918 the creator1254 of Israel,3478 your King.4428
16 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 which maketh5414 a way1870 in the sea,3220 and a path5410 in the mighty5794 waters;4325
17 Which bringeth forth3318 the chariot7393 and horse,5483 the army2428 and the power;5808 they shall lie down7901 together,3162 they shall not1077 rise:6965 they are extinct,1846 they are quenched3518 as tow.6594
18 Remember2142 ye not408 the former things,7223 neither408 consider995 the things of old.6931
19 Behold,2009 I will do6213 a new thing;2319 now6258 it shall spring forth;6779 shall ye not3808 know3045 it? I will even637 make7760 a way1870 in the wilderness,4057 and rivers5104 in the desert.3452
20 The beast2416 of the field7704 shall honor3513 me, the dragons8565 and the owls:1323 3284 because3588 I give5414 waters4325 in the wilderness,4057 and rivers5104 in the desert,3452 to give drink8248 to my people,5971 my chosen.972
21 This2098 people5971 have I formed3335 for myself; they shall show forth5608 my praise.8416
22 But thou hast not3808 called upon7121 me, O Jacob;3290 but3588 thou hast been weary3021 of me, O Israel.3478
23 Thou hast not3808 brought935 me the small cattle7716 of thy burnt offerings;5930 neither3808 hast thou honored3513 me with thy sacrifices.2077 I have not3808 caused thee to serve5647 with an offering,4503 nor3808 wearied3021 thee with incense.3828
24 Thou hast bought7069 me no3808 sweet cane7070 with money,3701 neither3808 hast thou filled7301 me with the fat2459 of thy sacrifices:2077 but389 thou hast made me to serve5647 with thy sins,2403 thou hast wearied3021 me with thine iniquities.5771
25 I,595 even I,595 am he1931 that blotteth out4229 thy transgressions6588 for mine own sake,4616 and will not3808 remember2142 thy sins.2403
26 Put me in remembrance:2142 let us plead8199 together:3162 declare5608 thou,859 that4616 thou mayest be justified.6663
27 Thy first7223 father1 hath sinned,2398 and thy teachers3887 have transgressed6586 against me.
28 Therefore I have profaned2490 the princes8269 of the sanctuary,6944 and have given5414 Jacob3290 to the curse,2764 and Israel3478 to reproaches.1421
1 Yet now6258 hear,8085 O Jacob3290 my servant;5650 and Israel,3478 whom I have chosen:977
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 that made6213 thee, and formed3335 thee from the womb,4480 990 which will help5826 thee; Fear3372 not,408 O Jacob,3290 my servant;5650 and thou, Jesurun,3484 whom I have chosen.977
3 For3588 I will pour3332 water4325 upon5921 him that is thirsty,6771 and floods5140 upon5921 the dry ground:3004 I will pour3332 my spirit7307 upon5921 thy seed,2233 and my blessing1293 upon5921 thine offspring:6631
4 And they shall spring up6779 as among996 the grass,2682 as willows6155 by5921 the water4325 courses.2988
5 One2088 shall say,559 I589 am the LORD's;3068 and another2088 shall call7121 himself by the name8034 of Jacob;3290 and another2088 shall subscribe3789 with his hand3027 unto the LORD,3068 and surname3655 himself by the name8034 of Israel.3478
6 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 the King4428 of Israel,3478 and his redeemer1350 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 I589 am the first,7223 and I589 am the last;314 and beside4480 1107 me there is no369 God.430
7 And who,4310 as I, shall call,7121 and shall declare5046 it, and set it in order6186 for me, since I appointed4480 7760 the ancient5769 people?5971 and the things that are coming,857 and shall come,935 let them show5046 unto them.
8 Fear6342 ye not,408 neither408 be afraid:7297 have not3808 I told8085 thee from that time,4480 227 and have declared5046 it? ye859 are even my witnesses.5707 Is there3426 a God433 beside4480 1107 me? yea, there is no369 God;6697 I know3045 not1077 any.
9 They that make3335 a graven image6459 are all3605 of them vanity;8414 and their delectable things2530 shall not1077 profit;3276 and they1992 are their own witnesses;5707 they see7200 not,1077 nor1077 know;3045 that4616 they may be ashamed.954
10 Who4310 hath formed3335 a god,410 or molten5258 a graven image6459 that is profitable3276 for nothing?1115
11 Behold,2005 all3605 his fellows2270 shall be ashamed:954 and the workmen,2796 they1992 are of men:4480 120 let them all3605 be gathered together,6908 let them stand up;5975 yet they shall fear,6342 and they shall be ashamed954 together.3162
12 The blacksmith2796 1270 with the tongs4621 both worketh6466 in the coals,6352 and fashioneth3335 it with hammers,4717 and worketh6466 it with the strength3581 of his arms:2220 yea,1571 he is hungry,7456 and his strength3581 faileth:369 he drinketh8354 no3808 water,4325 and is faint.3286
13 The carpenter2796 6086 stretcheth out5186 his rule;6957 he marketh it out8388 with a line;8279 he fitteth6213 it with planes,4741 and he marketh it out8388 with the compass,4230 and maketh6213 it after the figure8403 of a man,376 according to the beauty8597 of a man;120 that it may remain3427 in the house.1004
14 He heweth him down3772 cedars,730 and taketh3947 the cypress8645 and the oak,437 which he strengtheneth553 for himself among the trees6086 of the forest:3293 he planteth5193 an ash,766 and the rain1653 doth nourish1431 it.
15 Then shall it be1961 for a man120 to burn:1197 for he will take3947 thereof,4480 and warm2552 himself; yea,637 he kindleth5400 it, and baketh644 bread;3899 yea,637 he maketh6466 a god,410 and worshipeth7812 it; he maketh6213 it a graven image,6459 and falleth down5456 thereto.
16 He burneth8313 part2677 thereof in1119 the fire;784 with5921 part2677 thereof he eateth398 flesh;1320 he roasteth6740 roast,6748 and is satisfied:7646 yea,637 he warmeth2552 himself, and saith,559 Aha,1889 I am warm,2552 I have seen7200 the fire:217
17 And the residue7611 thereof he maketh6213 a god,410 even his graven image:6459 he falleth down5456 unto it, and worshipeth7812 it, and prayeth6419 unto413 it, and saith,559 Deliver5337 me; for3588 thou859 art my god.410
18 They have not3808 known3045 nor3808 understood:995 for3588 he hath shut2902 their eyes,5869 that they cannot see;4480 7200 and their hearts,3820 that they cannot understand.4480 7919
19 And none3808 considereth7725 in413 his heart,3820 neither3808 is there knowledge1847 nor3808 understanding8394 to say,559 I have burned8313 part2677 of it in1119 the fire;784 yea,637 also I have baked644 bread3899 upon5921 the coals1513 thereof; I have roasted6740 flesh,1320 and eaten398 it: and shall I make6213 the residue3499 thereof an abomination?8441 shall I fall down5456 to the stock944 of a tree?6086
20 He feedeth7462 on ashes:665 a deceived2048 heart3820 hath turned him aside,5186 that he cannot3808 deliver5337 853 his soul,5315 nor3808 say,559 Is there not3808 a lie8267 in my right hand?3225
21 Remember2142 these,428 O Jacob3290 and Israel;3478 for3588 thou859 art my servant:5650 I have formed3335 thee; thou859 art my servant:5650 O Israel,3478 thou shalt not3808 be forgotten5382 of me.
22 I have blotted out,4229 as a thick cloud,5645 thy transgressions,6588 and, as a cloud,6051 thy sins:2403 return7725 unto413 me; for3588 I have redeemed1350 thee.
23 Sing,7442 O ye heavens;8064 for3588 the LORD3068 hath done6213 it: shout,7321 ye lower parts8482 of the earth:776 break forth6476 into singing,7440 ye mountains,2022 O forest,3293 and every3605 tree6086 therein: for3588 the LORD3068 hath redeemed1350 Jacob,3290 and glorified himself6286 in Israel.3478
24 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 thy redeemer,1350 and he that formed3335 thee from the womb,4480 990 I595 am the LORD3068 that maketh6213 all3605 things; that stretcheth forth5186 the heavens8064 alone;905 that spreadeth abroad7554 the earth776 by854 myself;
25 That frustrateth6565 the tokens226 of the liars,907 and maketh diviners mad;1984 7080 that turneth7725 wise2450 men backward,268 and maketh their knowledge foolish;5528 1847
26 That confirmeth6965 the word1697 of his servant,5650 and performeth7999 the counsel6098 of his messengers;4397 that saith559 to Jerusalem,3389 Thou shalt be inhabited;3427 and to the cities5892 of Judah,3063 Ye shall be built,1129 and I will raise up6965 the decayed places2723 thereof:
27 That saith559 to the deep,6683 Be dry,2717 and I will dry up3001 thy rivers:5104
28 That saith559 of Cyrus,3566 He is my shepherd,7462 and shall perform7999 all3605 my pleasure:2656 even saying559 to Jerusalem,3389 Thou shalt be built;1129 and to the temple,1964 Thy foundation shall be laid.3245
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 to his anointed,4899 to Cyrus,3566 whose834 right hand3225 I have holden,2388 to subdue7286 nations1471 before6440 him; and I will loose6605 the loins4975 of kings,4428 to open6605 before6440 him the two leaved gates;1817 and the gates8179 shall not3808 be shut;5462
2 I589 will go1980 before6440 thee, and make the crooked places straight:3474 1921 I will break in pieces7665 the gates1817 of brass,5154 and cut in sunder1438 the bars1280 of iron:1270
3 And I will give5414 thee the treasures214 of darkness,2822 and hidden riches4301 of secret places,4565 that4616 thou mayest know3045 that3588 I,589 the LORD,3068 which call7121 thee by thy name,8034 am the God430 of Israel.3478
4 For Jacob3290 my servant's sake,4616 5650 and Israel3478 mine elect,972 I have even called7121 thee by thy name:8034 I have surnamed3655 thee, though thou hast not3808 known3045 me.
5 I589 am the LORD,3068 and there is none369 else,5750 there is no369 God430 beside2108 me: I girded247 thee, though thou hast not3808 known3045 me:
6 That4616 they may know3045 from the rising4480 4217 of the sun,8121 and from the west,4480 4628 that3588 there is none657 beside1107 me. I589 am the LORD,3068 and there is none369 else.5750
7 I form3335 the light,216 and create1254 darkness:2822 I make6213 peace,7965 and create1254 evil:7451 I589 the LORD3068 do6213 all3605 these428 things.
8 Drop down,7491 ye heavens,8064 from above,4480 4605 and let the skies7834 pour down5140 righteousness:6664 let the earth776 open,6605 and let them bring forth6509 salvation,3468 and let righteousness6666 spring up6779 together;3162 I589 the LORD3068 have created1254 it.
9 Woe1945 unto him that striveth7378 with854 his Maker!3335 Let the potsherd2789 strive with854 the potsherds2789 of the earth.127 Shall the clay2563 say559 to him that fashioneth3335 it, What4100 makest6213 thou? or thy work,6467 He hath no369 hands?3027
10 Woe1945 unto him that saith559 unto his father,1 What4100 begettest3205 thou? or to the woman,802 What4100 hast thou brought forth?2342
11 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 and his Maker,3335 Ask7592 me of things to come857 concerning5921 my sons,1121 and concerning5921 the work6467 of my hands3027 command6680 ye me.
12 I595 have made6213 the earth,776 and created1254 man120 upon5921 it: I,589 even my hands,3027 have stretched out5186 the heavens,8064 and all3605 their host6635 have I commanded.6680
13 I595 have raised him up5782 in righteousness,6664 and I will direct3474 all3605 his ways:1870 he1931 shall build1129 my city,5892 and he shall let go7971 my captives,1546 not3808 for price4242 nor3808 reward,7810 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
14 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 The labor3018 of Egypt,4714 and merchandise5505 of Ethiopia3568 and of the Sabeans,5436 men376 of stature,4060 shall come over5674 unto5921 thee, and they shall be1961 thine: they shall come1980 after310 thee; in chains2131 they shall come over,5674 and they shall fall down7812 unto413 thee, they shall make supplication6419 unto413 thee, saying, Surely389 God410 is in thee; and there is none369 else,5750 there is no657 God.430
15 Verily403 thou859 art a God410 that hidest thyself,5641 O God430 of Israel,3478 the Savior.3467
16 They shall be ashamed,954 and also1571 confounded,3637 all3605 of them: they shall go1980 to confusion3639 together3162 that are makers2796 of idols.6736
17 But Israel3478 shall be saved3467 in the LORD3068 with an everlasting5769 salvation:8668 ye shall not3808 be ashamed954 nor3808 confounded3637 world without end.5704 5769 5703
18 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 that created1254 the heavens;8064 God430 himself1931 that formed3335 the earth776 and made6213 it; he1931 hath established3559 it, he created1254 it not3808 in vain,8414 he formed3335 it to be inhabited:3427 I589 am the LORD;3068 and there is none369 else.5750
19 I have not3808 spoken1696 in secret,5643 in a dark2822 place4725 of the earth:776 I said559 not3808 unto the seed2233 of Jacob,3290 Seek1245 ye me in vain:8414 I589 the LORD3068 speak1696 righteousness,6664 I declare5046 things that are right.4339
20 Assemble yourselves6908 and come;935 draw near5066 together,3162 ye that are escaped6412 of the nations:1471 they have no knowledge3045 3808 that set up5375 853 the wood6086 of their graven image,6459 and pray6419 unto413 a god410 that cannot3808 save.3467
21 Tell5046 ye, and bring them near;5066 yea,637 let them take counsel3289 together:3162 who4310 hath declared8085 this2063 from ancient time?4480 6924 who hath told5046 it from that time?4480 227 have not3808 I589 the LORD?3068 and there is no369 God430 else5750 beside4480 1107 me; a just6662 God410 and a Savior;3467 there is none369 beside2108 me.
22 Look6437 unto413 me, and be ye saved,3467 all3605 the ends657 of the earth:776 for3588 I589 am God,410 and there is none369 else.5750
23 I have sworn7650 by myself, the word1697 is gone out3318 of my mouth4480 6310 in righteousness,6666 and shall not3808 return,7725 That3588 unto me every3605 knee1290 shall bow,3766 every3605 tongue3956 shall swear.7650
24 Surely,389 shall one say,559 in the LORD3068 have I righteousness6666 and strength:5797 even to5704 him shall men come;935 and all3605 that are incensed2734 against him shall be ashamed.954
25 In the LORD3068 shall all3605 the seed2233 of Israel3478 be justified,6663 and shall glory.1984
1 Bel1078 boweth down,3766 Nebo5015 stoopeth,7164 their idols6091 were1961 upon the beasts,2416 and upon the cattle:929 your carriages5385 were heavy laden;6006 they are a burden4853 to the weary5889 beast.
2 They stoop,7164 they bow down3766 together;3162 they could3201 not3808 deliver4422 the burden,4853 but themselves5315 are gone1980 into captivity.7628
3 Hearken8085 unto413 me, O house1004 of Jacob,3290 and all3605 the remnant7611 of the house1004 of Israel,3478 which are borne6006 by me from4480 the belly,990 which are carried5375 from4480 the womb:7356
4 And even to5704 your old age2209 I589 am he;1931 and even to5704 hoar hairs7872 will I589 carry5445 you: I589 have made,6213 and I589 will bear;5375 even I589 will carry,5445 and will deliver4422 you.
5 To whom4310 will ye liken1819 me, and make me equal,7737 and compare4911 me, that we may be like?1819
6 They lavish2107 gold2091 out of the bag,4480 3599 and weigh8254 silver3701 in the balance,7070 and hire7936 a goldsmith;6884 and he maketh6213 it a god:410 they fall down,5456 yea,637 they worship.7812
7 They bear5375 him upon5921 the shoulder,3802 they carry5445 him, and set5117 him in his place,8478 and he standeth;5975 from his place4480 4725 shall he not3808 remove:4185 yea,637 one shall cry6817 unto413 him, yet can he not3808 answer,6030 nor3808 save3467 him out of his trouble.4480 6869
8 Remember2142 this,2063 and show yourselves men:377 bring it again7725 to5921 mind,3820 O ye transgressors.6586
9 Remember2142 the former things7223 of old:4480 5769 for3588 I595 am God,410 and there is none369 else;5750 I am God,430 and there is none657 like me,3644
10 Declaring5046 the end319 from the beginning,4480 7225 and from ancient times4480 6924 the things that834 are not3808 yet done,6213 saying,559 My counsel6098 shall stand,6965 and I will do6213 all3605 my pleasure:2656
11 Calling7121 a ravenous bird5861 from the east,4480 4217 the man376 that executeth my counsel6098 from a far4801 country:4480 776 yea,637 I have spoken1696 it, I will also637 bring it to pass;935 I have purposed3335 it, I will also637 do6213 it.
12 Hearken8085 unto413 me, ye stouthearted,47 3820 that are far7350 from righteousness:4480 6666
13 I bring near7126 my righteousness;6666 it shall not3808 be far off,7368 and my salvation8668 shall not3808 tarry:309 and I will place5414 salvation8668 in Zion6726 for Israel3478 my glory.8597
1 Come down,3381 and sit3427 in5921 the dust,6083 O virgin1330 daughter1323 of Babylon,894 sit3427 on the ground:776 there is no369 throne,3678 O daughter1323 of the Chaldeans:3778 for3588 thou shalt no3808 more3254 be called7121 tender7390 and delicate.6028
2 Take3947 the millstones,7347 and grind2912 meal:7058 uncover1540 thy locks,6777 make bare2834 the leg,7640 uncover1540 the thigh,7785 pass over5674 the rivers.5104
3 Thy nakedness6172 shall be uncovered,1540 yea,1571 thy shame2781 shall be seen:7200 I will take3947 vengeance,5359 and I will not3808 meet6293 thee as a man.120
4 As for our redeemer,1350 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name,8034 the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
5 Sit3427 thou silent,1748 and get935 thee into darkness,2822 O daughter1323 of the Chaldeans:3778 for3588 thou shalt no3808 more3254 be called,7121 The lady1404 of kingdoms.4467
6 I was wroth7107 with5921 my people,5971 I have polluted2490 mine inheritance,5159 and given5414 them into thine hand:3027 thou didst show7760 them no3808 mercy;7356 upon5921 the ancient2205 hast thou very3966 heavily laid3513 thy yoke.5923
7 And thou saidst,559 I shall be1961 a lady1404 forever:5769 so that5704 thou didst not3808 lay7760 these428 things to5921 thy heart,3820 neither3808 didst remember2142 the latter end319 of it.
8 Therefore hear8085 now6258 this,2063 thou that art given to pleasures,5719 that dwellest3427 carelessly,983 that sayest559 in thine heart,3824 I589 am, and none else beside657 5750 me; I shall not3808 sit3427 as a widow,490 neither3808 shall I know3045 the loss of children:7908
9 But these428 two8147 things shall come935 to thee in a moment7281 in one259 day,3117 the loss of children,7908 and widowhood:489 they shall come935 upon5921 thee in their perfection8537 for the multitude7230 of thy sorceries,3785 and for the great3966 abundance6109 of thine enchantments.2267
10 For thou hast trusted982 in thy wickedness:7451 thou hast said,559 None369 seeth7200 me. Thy wisdom2451 and thy knowledge,1847 it1931 hath perverted7725 thee; and thou hast said559 in thine heart,3820 I589 am, and none else beside657 5750 me.
11 Therefore shall evil7451 come935 upon5921 thee; thou shalt not3808 know3045 from whence it riseth:7837 and mischief1943 shall fall5307 upon5921 thee; thou shalt not3808 be able3201 to put it off:3722 and desolation7722 shall come935 upon5921 thee suddenly,6597 which thou shalt not3808 know.3045
12 Stand5975 now4994 with thine enchantments,2267 and with the multitude7230 of thy sorceries,3785 wherein834 thou hast labored3021 from thy youth;4480 5271 if so be194 thou shalt be able3201 to profit,3276 if so be194 thou mayest prevail.6206
13 Thou art wearied3811 in the multitude7230 of thy counsels.6098 Let now4994 the astrologers,1895 8064 the stargazers,2372 3556 the monthly2320 prognosticators,3045 stand up,5975 and save3467 thee from these things that4480 834 shall come935 upon5921 thee.
14 Behold,2009 they shall be1961 as stubble;7179 the fire784 shall burn8313 them; they shall not3808 deliver5337 853 themselves5315 from the power4480 3027 of the flame:3852 there shall not369 be a coal1513 to warm2552 at, nor fire217 to sit3427 before5048 it.
15 Thus3651 shall they be1961 unto thee with whom834 thou hast labored,3021 even thy merchants,5503 from thy youth:4480 5271 they shall wander8582 every one376 to his quarter;5676 none369 shall save3467 thee.
1 Hear8085 ye this,2063 O house1004 of Jacob,3290 which are called7121 by the name8034 of Israel,3478 and are come forth3318 out of the waters4480 4325 of Judah,3063 which swear7650 by the name8034 of the LORD,3068 and make mention2142 of the God430 of Israel,3478 but not3808 in truth,571 nor3808 in righteousness.6666
2 For3588 they call themselves7121 of the holy6944 city,4480 5892 and stay themselves5564 upon5921 the God430 of Israel;3478 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name.8034
3 I have declared5046 the former things7223 from the beginning;4480 227 and they went forth3318 out of my mouth,4480 6310 and I showed8085 them; I did6213 them suddenly,6597 and they came to pass.935
4 Because I knew4480 3045 that3588 thou859 art obstinate,7186 and thy neck6203 is an iron1270 sinew,1517 and thy brow4696 brass;5154
5 I have even from the beginning4480 227 declared5046 it to thee; before2962 it came to pass935 I showed8085 it thee: lest6435 thou shouldest say,559 Mine idol6090 hath done6213 them, and my graven image,6459 and my molten image,5262 hath commanded6680 them.
6 Thou hast heard,8085 see2372 all3605 this; and will not3808 ye859 declare5046 it? I have showed8085 thee new things2319 from this time,4480 6258 even hidden things,5341 and thou didst not3808 know3045 them.
7 They are created1254 now,6258 and not3808 from the beginning;4480 227 even before6440 the day3117 when thou heardest8085 them not;3808 lest6435 thou shouldest say,559 Behold,2009 I knew3045 them.
8 Yea,1571 thou heardest8085 not;3808 yea,1571 thou knewest3045 not;3808 yea,1571 from that time4480 227 that thine ear241 was not3808 opened:6605 for3588 I knew3045 that thou wouldest deal very treacherously,898 898 and wast called7121 a transgressor6586 from the womb.4480 990
9 For my name's sake4616 8034 will I defer748 mine anger,639 and for my praise8416 will I refrain2413 for thee, that I cut thee not off.3772 1115
10 Behold,2009 I have refined6884 thee, but not3808 with silver;3701 I have chosen977 thee in the furnace3564 of affliction.6040
11 For mine own sake,4616 even for mine own sake,4616 will I do6213 it: for3588 how349 should my name be polluted?2490 and I will not3808 give5414 my glory3519 unto another.312
12 Hearken8085 unto413 me, O Jacob3290 and Israel,3478 my called;7121 I589 am he;1931 I589 am the first,7223 I589 also637 am the last.314
13 Mine hand3027 also637 hath laid the foundation3245 of the earth,776 and my right hand3225 hath spanned2946 the heavens:8064 when I589 call7121 unto413 them, they stand up5975 together.3162
14 All3605 ye, assemble yourselves,6908 and hear;8085 which4310 among them hath declared5046 853 these428 things? The LORD3068 hath loved157 him: he will do6213 his pleasure2656 on Babylon,894 and his arm2220 shall be on the Chaldeans.3778
15 I,589 even I,589 have spoken;1696 yea,637 I have called7121 him: I have brought935 him, and he shall make his way1870 prosperous.6743
16 Come ye near7126 unto413 me, hear8085 ye this;2063 I have not3808 spoken1696 in secret5643 from the beginning;4480 7218 from the time4480 6256 that it was,1961 there8033 am I:589 and now6258 the Lord136 GOD,3069 and his Spirit,7307 hath sent7971 me.
17 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 thy Redeemer,1350 the Holy One6918 of Israel;3478 I589 am the Lord3068 thy God430 which teacheth3925 thee to profit,3276 which leadeth1869 thee by the way1870 that thou shouldest go.1980
18 O that3863 thou hadst hearkened7181 to my commandments!4687 then had thy peace7965 been1961 as a river,5104 and thy righteousness6666 as the waves1530 of the sea:3220
19 Thy seed2233 also had been1961 as the sand,2344 and the offspring6631 of thy bowels4578 like the gravel4579 thereof; his name8034 should not3808 have been cut off3772 nor3808 destroyed8045 from before4480 6440 me.
20 Go ye forth3318 of Babylon,4480 894 flee1272 ye from the Chaldeans,4480 3778 with a voice6963 of singing7440 declare5046 ye, tell8085 this,2063 utter3318 it even to5704 the end7097 of the earth;776 say559 ye, The LORD3068 hath redeemed1350 his servant5650 Jacob.3290
21 And they thirsted6770 not3808 when he led1980 them through the deserts:2723 he caused the waters4325 to flow5140 out of the rock4480 6697 for them: he cleaved1234 the rock6697 also, and the waters4325 gushed out.2100
22 There is no369 peace,7965 saith559 the LORD,3068 unto the wicked.7563
1 Listen,8085 O isles,339 unto413 me; and hearken,7181 ye people,3816 from far;4480 7350 The LORD3068 hath called7121 me from the womb;4480 990 from the bowels4480 4578 of my mother517 hath he made mention2142 of my name.8034
2 And he hath made7760 my mouth6310 like a sharp2299 sword;2719 in the shadow6738 of his hand3027 hath he hid2244 me, and made7760 me a polished1305 shaft;2671 in his quiver827 hath he hid5641 me;
3 And said559 unto me, Thou859 art my servant,5650 O Israel,3478 in whom834 I will be glorified.6286
4 Then I589 said,559 I have labored3021 in vain,7385 I have spent3615 my strength3581 for naught,8414 and in vain:1892 yet surely403 my judgment4941 is with854 the LORD,3068 and my work6468 with854 my God.430
5 And now,6258 saith559 the LORD3068 that formed3335 me from the womb4480 990 to be his servant,5650 to bring Jacob again7725 3290 to413 him, Though Israel3478 be not gathered,622 yet shall I be glorious3513 in the eyes5869 of the LORD,3068 and my God430 shall be1961 my strength.5797
6 And he said,559 It is a light thing7043 that thou shouldest be4480 1961 my servant5650 to raise up6965 853 the tribes7626 of Jacob,3290 and to restore7725 the preserved5341 of Israel:3478 I will also give5414 thee for a light216 to the Gentiles,1471 that thou mayest be1961 my salvation3444 unto5704 the end7097 of the earth.776
7 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the Redeemer1350 of Israel,3478 and his Holy One,6918 to him whom man5315 despiseth,960 to him whom the nation1471 abhorreth,8581 to a servant5650 of rulers,4910 Kings4428 shall see7200 and arise,6965 princes8269 also shall worship,7812 because of4616 the LORD3068 that834 is faithful,539 and the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 and he shall choose977 thee.
8 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 In an acceptable7522 time6256 have I heard6030 thee, and in a day3117 of salvation3444 have I helped5826 thee: and I will preserve5341 thee, and give5414 thee for a covenant1285 of the people,5971 to establish6965 the earth,776 to cause to inherit5157 the desolate8074 heritages;5159
9 That thou mayest say559 to the prisoners,631 Go forth;3318 to them that834 are in darkness,2822 Show yourselves.1540 They shall feed7462 in5921 the ways,1870 and their pastures4830 shall be in all3605 high places.8205
10 They shall not3808 hunger7456 nor3808 thirst;6770 neither3808 shall the heat8273 nor sun8121 smite5221 them: for3588 he that hath mercy7355 on them shall lead5090 them, even by5921 the springs4002 of water4325 shall he guide5095 them.
11 And I will make7760 all3605 my mountains2022 a way,1870 and my highways4546 shall be exalted.7311
12 Behold,2009 these428 shall come935 from far:4480 7350 and, lo,2009 these428 from the north4480 6828 and from the west;4480 3220 and these428 from the land4480 776 of Sinim.5515
13 Sing,7442 O heavens;8064 and be joyful,1523 O earth;776 and break forth6476 into singing,7440 O mountains:2022 for3588 the LORD3068 hath comforted5162 his people,5971 and will have mercy7355 upon his afflicted.6041
14 But Zion6726 said,559 The LORD3068 hath forsaken5800 me, and my Lord136 hath forgotten7911 me.
15 Can a woman802 forget7911 her sucking child,5764 that she should not have compassion4480 7355 on the son1121 of her womb?990 yea,1571 they428 may forget,7911 yet will I595 not3808 forget7911 thee.
16 Behold,2005 I have graven2710 thee upon5921 the palms of my hands;3709 thy walls2346 are continually8548 before5048 me.
17 Thy children1121 shall make haste;4116 thy destroyers2040 and they that made thee waste2717 shall go forth3318 of4480 thee.
18 Lift up5375 thine eyes5869 round about,5439 and behold:7200 all3605 these gather themselves together,6908 and come935 to thee. As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the LORD,3068 thou shalt surely3588 clothe3847 thee with them all,3605 as with an ornament,5716 and bind7194 them on thee, as a bride3618 doeth.
19 For3588 thy waste2723 and thy desolate places,8074 and the land776 of thy destruction,2035 shall even3588 now6258 be too narrow3334 by reason of the inhabitants,4480 3427 and they that swallowed thee up1104 shall be far away.7368
20 The children1121 which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other,7923 shall say559 again5750 in thine ears,241 The place4725 is too strait6862 for me: give place5066 to me that I may dwell.3427
21 Then shalt thou say559 in thine heart,3824 Who4310 hath begotten3205 me 853 these,428 seeing I589 have lost my children,7909 and am desolate,1565 a captive,1540 and removing to and fro?5493 and who4310 hath brought up1431 these?428 Behold,2005 I589 was left7604 alone;905 these,428 where375 had they1992 been?
22 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 Behold,2009 I will lift up5375 mine hand3027 to413 the Gentiles,1471 and set up7311 my standard5251 to413 the people:5971 and they shall bring935 thy sons1121 in their arms,2684 and thy daughters1323 shall be carried5375 upon5921 their shoulders.3802
23 And kings4428 shall be1961 thy nursing fathers,539 and their queens8282 thy nursing mothers:3243 they shall bow down7812 to thee with their face639 toward the earth,776 and lick up3897 the dust6083 of thy feet;7272 and thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 am the LORD:3068 for they834 shall not3808 be ashamed954 that wait6960 for me.
24 Shall the prey4455 be taken3947 from the mighty,4480 1368 or518 the lawful6662 captive7628 delivered?4422
25 But3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Even1571 the captives7628 of the mighty1368 shall be taken away,3947 and the prey4455 of the terrible6184 shall be delivered:4422 for I595 will contend with7378 him that contendeth with3401 thee, and I595 will save3467 thy children.1121
26 And I will feed398 853 them that oppress3238 thee with 853 their own flesh;1320 and they shall be drunken7937 with their own blood,1818 as with sweet wine:6071 and all3605 flesh1320 shall know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 am thy Savior3467 and thy Redeemer,1350 the mighty One46 of Jacob.3290
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Where335 is the bill5612 of your mother's517 divorcement,3748 whom834 I have put away?7971 or176 which4310 of my creditors4480 5383 is it to whom834 I have sold4376 you? Behold,2005 for your iniquities5771 have ye sold yourselves,4376 and for your transgressions6588 is your mother517 put away.7971
2 Wherefore,4069 when I came,935 was there no369 man?376 when I called,7121 was there none369 to answer?6030 Is my hand3027 shortened at all,7114 7114 that it cannot redeem?4480 6304 or518 have I no369 power3581 to deliver?5337 behold,2005 at my rebuke1606 I dry up2717 the sea,3220 I make7760 the rivers5104 a wilderness:4057 their fish1710 stinketh,887 because there is no4480 369 water,4325 and dieth4191 for thirst.6772
3 I clothe3847 the heavens8064 with blackness,6940 and I make7760 sackcloth8242 their covering.3682
4 The Lord136 GOD3069 hath given5414 me the tongue3956 of the learned,3928 that I should know3045 how to speak a word in season5790 1697 to 853 him that is weary:3287 he wakeneth5782 morning1242 by morning,1242 he wakeneth5782 mine ear241 to hear8085 as the learned.3928
5 The Lord136 GOD3069 hath opened6605 mine ear,241 and I595 was not3808 rebellious,4784 neither3808 turned away5472 back.268
6 I gave5414 my back1460 to the smiters,5221 and my cheeks3895 to them that plucked off the hair:4803 I hid5641 not3808 my face6440 from shame4480 3639 and spitting.7536
7 For the Lord136 GOD3069 will help5826 me; therefore5921 3651 shall I not3808 be confounded:3637 therefore5921 3651 have I set7760 my face6440 like a flint,2496 and I know3045 that3588 I shall not3808 be ashamed.954
8 He is near7138 that justifieth6663 me; who4310 will contend7378 with854 me? let us stand5975 together:3162 who4310 is mine adversary?1167 4941 let him come near5066 to413 me.
9 Behold,2005 the Lord136 GOD3069 will help5826 me; who4310 is he1931 that shall condemn7561 me? lo,2005 they all3605 shall wax old1086 as a garment;899 the moth6211 shall eat them up.398
10 Who4310 is among you that feareth3373 the LORD,3068 that obeyeth8085 the voice6963 of his servant,5650 that834 walketh1980 in darkness,2825 and hath no369 light?5051 let him trust982 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 and stay8172 upon his God.430
11 Behold,2005 all3605 ye that kindle6919 a fire,784 that compass yourselves about247 with sparks:2131 walk1980 in the light217 of your fire,784 and in the sparks2131 that ye have kindled.1197 This2063 shall ye have1961 of mine hand;4480 3027 ye shall lie down7901 in sorrow.4620
1 Hearken8085 to413 me, ye that follow after7291 righteousness,6664 ye that seek1245 the LORD:3068 look5027 unto413 the rock6697 whence ye are hewn,2672 and to413 the hole4718 of the pit953 whence ye are digged.5365
2 Look5027 unto413 Abraham85 your father,1 and unto413 Sarah8283 that bore2342 you: for3588 I called7121 him alone,259 and blessed1288 him, and increased7235 him.
3 For3588 the LORD3068 shall comfort5162 Zion:6726 he will comfort5162 all3605 her waste places;2723 and he will make7760 her wilderness4057 like Eden,5731 and her desert6160 like the garden1588 of the LORD;3068 joy8342 and gladness8057 shall be found4672 therein, thanksgiving,8426 and the voice6963 of melody.2172
4 Hearken7181 unto413 me, my people;5971 and give ear238 unto413 me, O my nation:3816 for3588 a law8451 shall proceed3318 from4480 854 me, and I will make my judgment4941 to rest7280 for a light216 of the people.5971
5 My righteousness6664 is near;7138 my salvation3468 is gone forth,3318 and mine arms2220 shall judge8199 the people;5971 the isles339 shall wait6960 upon413 me, and on413 mine arm2220 shall they trust.3176
6 Lift up5375 your eyes5869 to the heavens,8064 and look5027 upon413 the earth776 beneath:4480 8478 for3588 the heavens8064 shall vanish away4414 like smoke,6227 and the earth776 shall wax old1086 like a garment,899 and they that dwell3427 therein shall die4191 in like manner:3644 3651 but my salvation3444 shall be1961 forever,5769 and my righteousness6666 shall not3808 be abolished.2865
7 Hearken8085 unto413 me, ye that know3045 righteousness,6664 the people5971 in whose heart3820 is my law;8451 fear3372 ye not408 the reproach2781 of men,582 neither408 be ye afraid2865 of their revilings.4480 1421
8 For3588 the moth6211 shall eat them up398 like a garment,899 and the worm5580 shall eat398 them like wool:6785 but my righteousness6666 shall be1961 forever,5769 and my salvation3444 from generation1755 to generation.1755
9 Awake,5782 awake,5782 put on3847 strength,5797 O arm2220 of the LORD;3068 awake,5782 as in the ancient6924 days,3117 in the generations1755 of old.5769 Art thou859 not3808 it1931 that hath cut2672 Rahab,7293 and wounded2490 the dragon?8577
10 Art thou859 not3808 it1931 which hath dried2717 the sea,3220 the waters4325 of the great7227 deep;8415 that hath made7760 the depths4615 of the sea3220 a way1870 for the ransomed1350 to pass over?5674
11 Therefore the redeemed6299 of the LORD3068 shall return,7725 and come935 with singing7440 unto Zion;6726 and everlasting5769 joy8057 shall be upon5921 their head:7218 they shall obtain5381 gladness8342 and joy;8057 and sorrow3015 and mourning585 shall flee away.5127
12 I,595 even I,595 am he1931 that comforteth5162 you: who4310 art thou,859 that thou shouldest be afraid3372 of a man4480 582 that shall die,4191 and of the son4480 1121 of man120 which shall be made5414 as grass;2682
13 And forgettest7911 the LORD3068 thy maker,6213 that hath stretched forth5186 the heavens,8064 and laid the foundations3245 of the earth;776 and hast feared6342 continually8548 every3605 day3117 because4480 6440 of the fury2534 of the oppressor,6693 as834 if he were ready3559 to destroy?7843 and where346 is the fury2534 of the oppressor?6693
14 The captive exile6808 hasteneth4116 that he may be loosed,6605 and that he should not3808 die4191 in the pit,7845 nor3808 that his bread3899 should fail.2637
15 But I595 am the LORD3068 thy God,430 that divided7280 the sea,3220 whose waves1530 roared:1993 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name.8034
16 And I have put7760 my words1697 in thy mouth,6310 and I have covered3680 thee in the shadow6738 of mine hand,3027 that I may plant5193 the heavens,8064 and lay the foundations3245 of the earth,776 and say559 unto Zion,6726 Thou859 art my people.5971
17 Awake,5782 awake,5782 stand up,6965 O Jerusalem,3389 which834 hast drunk8354 at the hand4480 3027 of the LORD3068 853 the cup3563 of his fury;2534 thou hast drunken8354 853 the dregs6907 of the cup3563 of trembling,8653 and wrung them out.4680
18 There is none369 to guide5095 her among all4480 3605 the sons1121 whom she hath brought forth;3205 neither369 is there any that taketh2388 her by the hand3027 of all4480 3605 the sons1121 that she hath brought up.1431
19 These2007 two8147 things are come7122 unto thee; who4310 shall be sorry5110 for thee? desolation,7701 and destruction,7667 and the famine,7458 and the sword:2719 by whom4310 shall I comfort5162 thee?
20 Thy sons1121 have fainted,5968 they lie7901 at the head7218 of all3605 the streets,2351 as a wild bull8377 in a net:4364 they are full4392 of the fury2534 of the LORD,3068 the rebuke1606 of thy God.430
21 Therefore3651 hear8085 now4994 this,2063 thou afflicted,6041 and drunken,7937 but not3808 with wine:4480 3196
22 Thus3541 saith559 thy Lord113 the LORD,3068 and thy God430 that pleadeth the cause7378 of his people,5971 Behold,2009 I have taken3947 out of thine hand4480 3027 853 the cup3563 of trembling,8653 even 853 the dregs6907 of the cup3563 of my fury;2534 thou shalt no3808 more3254 drink8354 it again:5750
23 But I will put7760 it into the hand3027 of them that afflict3013 thee; which834 have said559 to thy soul,5315 Bow down,7812 that we may go over:5674 and thou hast laid7760 thy body1460 as the ground,776 and as the street,2351 to them that went over.5674
1 Awake,5782 awake;5782 put on3847 thy strength,5797 O Zion;6726 put on3847 thy beautiful8597 garments,899 O Jerusalem,3389 the holy6944 city:5892 for3588 henceforth3254 there shall no3808 more5750 come935 into thee the uncircumcised6189 and the unclean.2931
2 Shake thyself5287 from the dust;4480 6083 arise,6965 and sit down,3427 O Jerusalem:3389 loose thyself6605 from the bands4147 of thy neck,6677 O captive7628 daughter1323 of Zion.6726
3 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Ye have sold yourselves4376 for naught;2600 and ye shall be redeemed1350 without3808 money.3701
4 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 My people5971 went down3381 formerly7223 into Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there;8033 and the Assyrian804 oppressed6231 them without cause.657
5 Now6258 therefore, what4100 have I here,6311 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that3588 my people5971 is taken away3947 for naught?2600 they that rule over4910 them make them to howl,3213 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and my name8034 continually8548 every3605 day3117 is blasphemed.5006
6 Therefore3651 my people5971 shall know3045 my name:8034 therefore3651 they shall know in that1931 day3117 that3588 I589 am he1931 that doth speak:1696 behold,2009 it is I.
7 How4100 beautiful4998 upon5921 the mountains2022 are the feet7272 of him that bringeth good tidings,1319 that publisheth8085 peace;7965 that bringeth good tidings1319 of good,2896 that publisheth8085 salvation;3444 that saith559 unto Zion,6726 Thy God430 reigneth!4427
8 Thy watchmen6822 shall lift up5375 the voice;6963 with the voice6963 together3162 shall they sing:7442 for3588 they shall see7200 eye5869 to eye,5869 when the LORD3068 shall bring again7725 Zion.6726
9 Break forth into joy,6476 sing7442 together,3162 ye waste places2723 of Jerusalem:3389 for3588 the LORD3068 hath comforted5162 his people,5971 he hath redeemed1350 Jerusalem.3389
10 The LORD3068 hath made bare2834 853 his holy6944 arm2220 in the eyes5869 of all3605 the nations;1471 and all3605 the ends657 of the earth776 shall see7200 853 the salvation3444 of our God.430
11 Depart5493 ye, depart5493 ye, go ye out3318 from thence,4480 8033 touch5060 no408 unclean2931 thing; go ye out3318 of the midst4480 8432 of her; be ye clean,1305 that bear5375 the vessels3627 of the LORD.3068
12 For3588 ye shall not3808 go out3318 with haste,2649 nor3808 go1980 by flight:4499 for3588 the LORD3068 will go1980 before6440 you; and the God430 of Israel3478 will be your rearward.622
13 Behold,2009 my servant5650 shall deal prudently,7919 he shall be exalted7311 and extolled,5375 and be very high.1361 3966
14 As834 many7227 were astonished8074 at5921 thee; his visage4758 was so3651 marred4893 more than any man,4480 376 and his form8389 more than the sons4480 1121 of men:120
15 So3651 shall he sprinkle5137 many7227 nations;1471 the kings4428 shall shut7092 their mouths6310 at5921 him: for3588 that which834 had not3808 been told5608 them shall they see;7200 and that which834 they had not3808 heard8085 shall they consider.995
1 Who4310 hath believed539 our report?8052 and to5921 whom4310 is the arm2220 of the LORD3068 revealed?1540
2 For he shall grow up5927 before6440 him as a tender plant,3126 and as a root8328 out of a dry6723 ground:4480 776 he hath no3808 form8389 nor3808 comeliness;1926 and when we shall see7200 him, there is no3808 beauty4758 that we should desire2530 him.
3 He is despised959 and rejected2310 of men;376 a man376 of sorrows,4341 and acquainted3045 with grief:2483 and we hid4564 as it were our faces6440 from4480 him; he was despised,959 and we esteemed2803 him not.3808
4 Surely403 he1931 hath borne5375 our griefs,2483 and carried5445 our sorrows:4341 yet we587 did esteem2803 him stricken,5060 smitten5221 of God,430 and afflicted.6031
5 But he1931 was wounded2490 for our transgressions,4480 6588 he was bruised1792 for our iniquities:4480 5771 the chastisement4148 of our peace7965 was upon5921 him; and with his stripes2250 we are healed.7495
6 All3605 we like sheep6629 have gone astray;8582 we have turned6437 every one376 to his own way;1870 and the LORD3068 hath laid6293 on him 853 the iniquity5771 of us all.3605
7 He was oppressed,5065 and he1931 was afflicted,6031 yet he opened6605 not3808 his mouth:6310 he is brought2986 as a lamb7716 to the slaughter,2874 and as a sheep7353 before6440 her shearers1494 is dumb,481 so he openeth6605 not3808 his mouth.6310
8 He was taken3947 from prison4480 6115 and from judgment:4480 4941 and who4310 shall declare7878 his generation?1755 for3588 he was cut off1504 out of the land4480 776 of the living:2416 for the transgression4480 6588 of my people5971 was he stricken.5061
9 And he made5414 his grave6913 with854 the wicked,7563 and with854 the rich6223 in his death;4194 because5921 he had done6213 no3808 violence,2555 neither3808 was any deceit4820 in his mouth.6310
10 Yet it pleased2654 the LORD3068 to bruise1792 him; he hath put him to grief:2470 when518 thou shalt make7760 his soul5315 an offering for sin,817 he shall see7200 his seed,2233 he shall prolong748 his days,3117 and the pleasure2656 of the LORD3068 shall prosper6743 in his hand.3027
11 He shall see7200 of the travail4480 5999 of his soul,5315 and shall be satisfied:7646 by his knowledge1847 shall my righteous6662 servant5650 justify6663 many;7227 for he1931 shall bear5445 their iniquities.5771
12 Therefore3651 will I divide2505 him a portion with the great,7227 and he shall divide2505 the spoil7998 with854 the strong;6099 because8478 834 he hath poured out6168 his soul5315 unto death:4194 and he1931 was numbered4487 with854 the transgressors;6586 and he bore5375 the sin2399 of many,7227 and made intercession6293 for the transgressors.6586
1 Sing,7442 O barren,6135 thou that didst not3808 bear;3205 break forth6476 into singing,7440 and cry aloud,6670 thou that didst not3808 travail with child:2342 for3588 more7227 are the children1121 of the desolate8074 than the children4480 1121 of the married wife,1166 saith559 the LORD.3068
2 Enlarge7337 the place4725 of thy tent,168 and let them stretch forth5186 the curtains3407 of thine habitations:4908 spare2820 not,408 lengthen748 thy cords,4340 and strengthen2388 thy stakes;3489
3 For3588 thou shalt break forth6555 on the right hand3225 and on the left;8040 and thy seed2233 shall inherit3423 the Gentiles,1471 and make the desolate8074 cities5892 to be inhabited.3427
4 Fear3372 not;408 for3588 thou shalt not3808 be ashamed:954 neither408 be thou confounded;3637 for3588 thou shalt not3808 be put to shame:2659 for3588 thou shalt forget7911 the shame1322 of thy youth,5934 and shalt not3808 remember2142 the reproach2781 of thy widowhood491 any more.5750
5 For3588 thy Maker6213 is thine husband;1166 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name;8034 and thy Redeemer1350 the Holy One6918 of Israel;3478 The God430 of the whole3605 earth776 shall he be called.7121
6 For3588 the LORD3068 hath called7121 thee as a woman802 forsaken5800 and grieved6087 in spirit,7307 and a wife802 of youth,5271 when3588 thou wast refused,3988 saith559 thy God.430
7 For a small6996 moment7281 have I forsaken5800 thee; but with great1419 mercies7356 will I gather6908 thee.
8 In a little8241 wrath7110 I hid5641 my face6440 from4480 thee for a moment;7281 but with everlasting5769 kindness2617 will I have mercy7355 on thee, saith559 the LORD3068 thy Redeemer.1350
9 For3588 this2063 is as the waters4325 of Noah5146 unto me: for834 as I have sworn7650 that the waters4325 of Noah5146 should no more5750 go4480 5674 over5921 the earth;776 so3651 have I sworn7650 that I would not be wroth4480 7107 with5921 thee, nor rebuke4480 1605 thee.
10 For3588 the mountains2022 shall depart,4185 and the hills1389 be removed;4131 but my kindness2617 shall not3808 depart4185 from4480 854 thee, neither3808 shall the covenant1285 of my peace7965 be removed,4131 saith559 the LORD3068 that hath mercy7355 on thee.
11 O thou afflicted,6041 tossed with tempest,5590 and not3808 comforted,5162 behold,2009 I595 will lay7257 thy stones68 with fair colors,6320 and lay thy foundations3245 with sapphires.5601
12 And I will make7760 thy windows8121 of agates,3539 and thy gates8179 of carbuncles,68 688 and all3605 thy borders1366 of pleasant2656 stones.68
13 And all3605 thy children1121 shall be taught3928 of the LORD;3068 and great7227 shall be the peace7965 of thy children.1121
14 In righteousness6666 shalt thou be established:3559 thou shalt be far7368 from oppression;4480 6233 for3588 thou shalt not3808 fear:3372 and from terror;4480 4288 for3588 it shall not3808 come near7126 413 thee.
15 Behold,2005 they shall surely gather together,1481 1481 but not657 by4480 854 me: whosoever4310 shall gather together1481 against854 thee shall fall5307 for5921 thy sake.
16 Behold,2009 I595 have created1254 the smith2796 that bloweth5301 the coals6352 in the fire,784 and that bringeth forth3318 an instrument3627 for his work;4639 and I595 have created1254 the waster7843 to destroy.2254
17 No3808 3605 weapon3627 that is formed3335 against5921 thee shall prosper;6743 and every3605 tongue3956 that shall rise6965 against854 thee in judgment4941 thou shalt condemn.7561 This2063 is the heritage5159 of the servants5650 of the LORD,3068 and their righteousness6666 is of4480 854 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
1 Ho,1945 every one3605 that thirsteth,6771 come1980 ye to the waters,4325 and he that834 hath no369 money;3701 come1980 ye, buy,7666 and eat;398 yea, come,1980 buy7666 wine3196 and milk2461 without3808 money3701 and without3808 price.4242
2 Wherefore4100 do ye spend8254 money3701 for that which is not3808 bread?3899 and your labor3018 for that which satisfieth7654 not?3808 hearken diligently8085 8085 unto413 me, and eat398 ye that which is good,2896 and let your soul5315 delight itself6026 in fatness.1880
3 Incline5186 your ear,241 and come1980 unto413 me: hear,8085 and your soul5315 shall live;2421 and I will make3772 an everlasting5769 covenant1285 with you, even the sure539 mercies2617 of David.1732
4 Behold,2005 I have given5414 him for a witness5707 to the people,3816 a leader5057 and commander6680 to the people.3816
5 Behold,2005 thou shalt call7121 a nation1471 that thou knowest3045 not,3808 and nations1471 that knew3045 not3808 thee shall run7323 unto413 thee because4616 of the LORD3068 thy God,430 and for the Holy One6918 of Israel;3478 for3588 he hath glorified6286 thee.
6 Seek1875 ye the LORD3068 while he may be found,4672 call7121 ye upon him while he is1961 near:7138
7 Let the wicked7563 forsake5800 his way,1870 and the unrighteous205 man376 his thoughts:4284 and let him return7725 unto413 the LORD,3068 and he will have mercy7355 upon him; and to413 our God,430 for3588 he will abundantly7235 pardon.5545
8 For3588 my thoughts4284 are not3808 your thoughts,4284 neither3808 are your ways1870 my ways,1870 saith5002 the LORD.3068
9 For3588 as the heavens8064 are higher1361 than the earth,4480 776 so3651 are my ways higher1361 1870 than your ways,4480 1870 and my thoughts4284 than your thoughts.4480 4284
10 For3588 as834 the rain1653 cometh down,3381 and the snow7950 from4480 heaven,8064 and returneth7725 not3808 thither,8033 but3588 518 watereth7301 853 the earth,776 and maketh it bring forth3205 and bud,6779 that it may give5414 seed2233 to the sower,2232 and bread3899 to the eater:398
11 So3651 shall my word1697 be1961 that834 goeth forth3318 out of my mouth:4480 6310 it shall not3808 return7725 unto413 me void,7387 but3588 518 it shall accomplish6213 853 that which834 I please,2654 and it shall prosper6743 in the thing whereto834 I sent7971 it.
12 For3588 ye shall go out3318 with joy,8057 and be led forth2986 with peace:7965 the mountains2022 and the hills1389 shall break forth6476 before6440 you into singing,7440 and all3605 the trees6086 of the field7704 shall clap4222 their hands.3709
13 Instead8478 of the thorn5285 shall come up5927 the fir tree,1265 and instead8478 of the brier5636 shall come up5927 the myrtle tree:1918 and it shall be1961 to the LORD3068 for a name,8034 for an everlasting5769 sign226 that shall not3808 be cut off.3772
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Keep8104 ye judgment,4941 and do6213 justice:6666 for3588 my salvation3444 is near7138 to come,935 and my righteousness6666 to be revealed.1540
2 Blessed835 is the man582 that doeth6213 this,2063 and the son1121 of man120 that layeth hold2388 on it; that keepeth8104 the sabbath7676 from polluting4480 2490 it, and keepeth8104 his hand3027 from doing4480 6213 any3605 evil.7451
3 Neither408 let the son1121 of the stranger,5236 that hath joined himself3867 to413 the LORD,3068 speak,559 saying,559 The LORD3068 hath utterly separated914 914 me from4480 5921 his people:5971 neither408 let the eunuch5631 say,559 Behold,2005 I589 am a dry3002 tree.6086
4 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 unto the eunuchs5631 that834 keep8104 853 my sabbaths,7676 and choose977 the things that834 please2654 me, and take hold2388 of my covenant;1285
5 Even unto them will I give5414 in mine house1004 and within my walls2346 a place3027 and a name8034 better2896 than of sons4480 1121 and of daughters:4480 1323 I will give5414 them an everlasting5769 name,8034 that834 shall not3808 be cut off.3772
6 Also the sons1121 of the stranger,5236 that join themselves3867 to5921 the LORD,3068 to serve8334 him, and to love157 853 the name8034 of the LORD,3068 to be1961 his servants,5650 every one3605 that keepeth8104 the sabbath7676 from polluting4480 2490 it, and taketh hold2388 of my covenant;1285
7 Even them will I bring935 to413 my holy6944 mountain,2022 and make them joyful8055 in my house1004 of prayer:8605 their burnt offerings5930 and their sacrifices2077 shall be accepted7522 upon5921 mine altar;4196 for3588 mine house1004 shall be called7121 a house1004 of prayer8605 for all3605 people.5971
8 The Lord136 GOD3069 which gathereth6908 the outcasts1760 of Israel3478 saith,5002 Yet5750 will I gather6908 others to5921 him, beside those that are gathered6908 unto him.
9 All3605 ye beasts2416 of the field,7704 come857 to devour,398 yea, all3605 ye beasts2416 in the forest.3293
10 His watchmen6822 are blind:5787 they are all3605 ignorant,3808 3045 they are all3605 dumb483 dogs,3611 they cannot3201 3808 bark;5024 sleeping,1957 lying down,7901 loving157 to slumber.5123
11 Yea, they are greedy5794 5315 dogs3611 which can never3808 have3045 enough,7654 and they1992 are shepherds7462 that cannot3045 3808 understand:995 they all3605 look6437 to their own way,1870 every one376 for his gain,1215 from his quarter.4480 7097
12 Come857 ye, say they, I will fetch3947 wine,3196 and we will fill5433 ourselves with strong drink;7941 and tomorrow4279 shall be1961 as this2088 day,3117 and much3966 more abundant.3499 1419
1 The righteous6662 perisheth,6 and no369 man376 layeth7760 it to5921 heart:3820 and merciful2617 men376 are taken away,622 none369 considering995 that3588 the righteous6662 is taken away622 from4480 6440 the evil7451 to come.
2 He shall enter935 into peace:7965 they shall rest5117 in5921 their beds,4904 each one walking1980 in his uprightness.5228
3 But draw near7126 hither,2008 ye859 sons1121 of the sorceress,6049 the seed2233 of the adulterer5003 and the whore.2181
4 Against5921 whom4310 do ye sport yourselves?6026 against5921 whom4310 make ye a wide7337 mouth,6310 and draw out748 the tongue?3956 are ye859 not3808 children3206 of transgression,6588 a seed2233 of falsehood,8267
5 Inflaming yourselves2552 with idols410 under8478 every3605 green7488 tree,6086 slaying7819 the children3206 in the valleys5158 under8478 the clefts5585 of the rocks?5553
6 Among the smooth2511 stones of the stream5158 is thy portion;2506 they,1992 they1992 are thy lot:1486 even1571 to them hast thou poured8210 a drink offering,5262 thou hast offered5927 a meat offering.4503 Should I receive comfort5162 in5921 these?428
7 Upon5921 a lofty1364 and high5375 mountain2022 hast thou set7760 thy bed:4904 even1571 thither8033 wentest thou up5927 to offer2076 sacrifice.2077
8 Behind310 the doors1817 also and the posts4201 hast thou set up7760 thy remembrance:2146 for3588 thou hast discovered1540 thyself to another than4480 854 me, and art gone up;5927 thou hast enlarged7337 thy bed,4904 and made3772 thee a covenant with4480 them; thou lovedst157 their bed4904 where3027 thou sawest2372 it.
9 And thou wentest7788 to the king4428 with ointment,8081 and didst increase7235 thy perfumes,7547 and didst send7971 thy messengers6735 far off,5704 4480 7350 and didst debase8213 thyself even unto5704 hell.7585
10 Thou art wearied3021 in the greatness7230 of thy way;1870 yet saidst559 thou not,3808 There is no hope:2976 thou hast found4672 the life2416 of thine hand;3027 therefore5921 3651 thou wast not3808 grieved.2470
11 And of whom4310 hast thou been afraid1672 or feared,3372 that3588 thou hast lied,3576 and hast not3808 remembered2142 me, nor3808 laid7760 it to5921 thy heart?3820 have not3808 I589 held my peace2814 even of old,4480 5769 and thou fearest3372 me not?3808
12 I589 will declare5046 thy righteousness,6666 and thy works;4639 for they shall not3808 profit3276 thee.
13 When thou criest,2199 let thy companies6899 deliver5337 thee; but the wind7307 shall carry them all away;5375 853 3605 vanity1892 shall take3947 them: but he that putteth his trust2620 in me shall possess5157 the land,776 and shall inherit3423 my holy6944 mountain;2022
14 And shall say,559 Cast ye up,5549 cast ye up,5549 prepare6437 the way,1870 take up7311 the stumblingblock4383 out of the way4480 1870 of my people.5971
15 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the high7311 and lofty One5375 that inhabiteth7931 eternity,5703 whose name8034 is Holy;6918 I dwell7931 in the high4791 and holy6918 place, with854 him also that is of a contrite1793 and humble8217 spirit,7307 to revive2421 the spirit7307 of the humble,8217 and to revive2421 the heart3820 of the contrite ones.1792
16 For3588 I will not3808 contend7378 forever,5769 neither3808 will I be always wroth:7107 5331 for3588 the spirit7307 should fail5848 before4480 6440 me, and the souls5397 which I589 have made.6213
17 For the iniquity5771 of his covetousness1215 was I wroth,7107 and smote5221 him: I hid5641 me, and was wroth,7107 and he went1980 on frowardly7726 in the way1870 of his heart.3820
18 I have seen7200 his ways,1870 and will heal7495 him: I will lead5148 him also, and restore7999 comforts5150 unto him and to his mourners.57
19 I create1254 the fruit5108 of the lips;8193 Peace,7965 peace7965 to him that is far off,7350 and to him that is near,7138 saith559 the LORD;3068 and I will heal7495 him.
20 But the wicked7563 are like the troubled1644 sea,3220 when3588 it cannot3201 3808 rest,8252 whose waters4325 cast up1644 mire7516 and dirt.2916
21 There is no369 peace,7965 saith559 my God,430 to the wicked.7563
1 Cry7121 aloud,1627 spare2820 not,408 lift up7311 thy voice6963 like a trumpet,7782 and show5046 my people5971 their transgression,6588 and the house1004 of Jacob3290 their sins.2403
2 Yet they seek1875 me daily,3117 3117 and delight2654 to know1847 my ways,1870 as a nation1471 that834 did6213 righteousness,6666 and forsook5800 not3808 the ordinance4941 of their God:430 they ask7592 of me the ordinances4941 of justice;6664 they take delight2654 in approaching7132 to God.430
3 Wherefore4100 have we fasted,6684 say they, and thou seest7200 not?3808 wherefore have we afflicted6031 our soul,5315 and thou takest no knowledge?3045 3808 Behold,2005 in the day3117 of your fast6685 ye find4672 pleasure,2656 and exact5065 all3605 your labors.6092
4 Behold,2005 ye fast6684 for strife7379 and debate,4683 and to smite5221 with the fist106 of wickedness:7562 ye shall not3808 fast6684 as ye do this day,3117 to make your voice6963 to be heard8085 on high.4791
5 Is1961 it such2088 a fast6685 that I have chosen?977 a day3117 for a man120 to afflict6031 his soul?5315 is it to bow down3721 his head7218 as a bulrush,100 and to spread3331 sackcloth8242 and ashes665 under him? wilt thou call7121 this2088 a fast,6685 and an acceptable7522 day3117 to the LORD?3068
6 Is not3808 this2088 the fast6685 that I have chosen?977 to loose6605 the bands2784 of wickedness,7562 to undo5425 the heavy4133 burdens,92 and to let the oppressed7533 go7971 free,2670 and that ye break5423 every3605 yoke?4133
7 Is it not3808 to deal6536 thy bread3899 to the hungry,7457 and that thou bring935 the poor6041 that are cast out4788 to thy house?1004 when3588 thou seest7200 the naked,6174 that thou cover3680 him; and that thou hide not thyself5956 3808 from thine own flesh?4480 1320
8 Then227 shall thy light216 break forth1234 as the morning,7837 and thine health724 shall spring forth6779 speedily:4120 and thy righteousness6664 shall go1980 before6440 thee; the glory3519 of the LORD3068 shall be thy rearward.622
9 Then227 shalt thou call,7121 and the LORD3068 shall answer;6030 thou shalt cry,7768 and he shall say,559 Here2009 I am. If518 thou take away5493 from the midst4480 8432 of thee the yoke,4133 the putting forth7971 of the finger,676 and speaking1696 vanity;205
10 And if thou draw out6329 thy soul5315 to the hungry,7457 and satisfy7646 the afflicted6031 soul;5315 then shall thy light216 rise2224 in obscurity,2822 and thy darkness653 be as the noonday:6672
11 And the LORD3068 shall guide5148 thee continually,8548 and satisfy7646 thy soul5315 in drought,6710 and make fat2502 thy bones:6106 and thou shalt be1961 like a watered7302 garden,1588 and like a spring4161 of water,4325 whose834 waters4325 fail3576 not.3808
12 And they that shall be of4480 thee shall build1129 the old5769 waste places:2723 thou shalt raise up6965 the foundations4146 of many generations;1755 1755 and thou shalt be called,7121 The repairer1443 of the breach,6556 The restorer7725 of paths5410 to dwell3427 in.
13 If518 thou turn away7725 thy foot7272 from the sabbath,4480 7676 from doing6213 thy pleasure2656 on my holy6944 day;3117 and call7121 the sabbath7676 a delight,6027 the holy6918 of the LORD,3068 honorable;3513 and shalt honor3513 him, not doing4480 6213 thine own ways,1870 nor finding4480 4672 thine own pleasure,2656 nor speaking1696 thine own words:1697
14 Then227 shalt thou delight thyself6026 in5921 the LORD;3068 and I will cause thee to ride7392 upon5921 the high places1116 of the earth,776 and feed398 thee with the heritage5159 of Jacob3290 thy father:1 for3588 the mouth6310 of the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.
1 Behold,2005 the LORD's3068 hand3027 is not3808 shortened,7114 that it cannot save;4480 3467 neither3808 his ear241 heavy,3513 that it cannot hear:4480 8085
2 But3588 518 your iniquities5771 have1961 separated914 between996 you and your God,430 and your sins2403 have hid5641 his face6440 from4480 you, that he will not hear.4480 8085
3 For3588 your hands3709 are defiled1351 with blood,1818 and your fingers676 with iniquity;5771 your lips8193 have spoken1696 lies,8267 your tongue3956 hath muttered1897 perverseness.5766
4 None369 calleth7121 for justice,6664 nor369 any pleadeth8199 for truth:530 they trust982 in5921 vanity,8414 and speak1696 lies;7723 they conceive2029 mischief,5999 and bring forth3205 iniquity.205
5 They hatch1234 cockatrice'6848 eggs,1000 and weave707 the spider's5908 web:6980 he that eateth398 of their eggs4480 1000 dieth,4191 and that which is crushed2116 breaketh out1234 into a viper.660
6 Their webs6980 shall not3808 become1961 garments,899 neither3808 shall they cover themselves3680 with their works:4639 their works4639 are works4639 of iniquity,205 and the act6467 of violence2555 is in their hands.3709
7 Their feet7272 run7323 to evil,7451 and they make haste4116 to shed8210 innocent5355 blood:1818 their thoughts4284 are thoughts4284 of iniquity;205 wasting7701 and destruction7667 are in their paths.4546
8 The way1870 of peace7965 they know3045 not;3808 and there is no369 judgment4941 in their goings:4570 they have made them crooked6140 paths:5410 whosoever3605 goeth1869 therein shall not3808 know3045 peace.7965
9 Therefore5921 3651 is judgment far7368 4941 from4480 us, neither3808 doth justice6666 overtake5381 us: we wait6960 for light,216 but behold2009 obscurity;2822 for brightness,5054 but we walk1980 in darkness.653
10 We grope1659 for the wall7023 like the blind,5787 and we grope1659 as if we had no369 eyes:5869 we stumble3782 at noonday6672 as in the night;5399 we are in desolate places820 as dead4191 men.
11 We roar1993 all3605 like bears,1677 and mourn1897 1897 sore like doves:3123 we look6960 for judgment,4941 but there is none;369 for salvation,3444 but it is far off7368 from4480 us.
12 For3588 our transgressions6588 are multiplied7231 before5048 thee, and our sins2403 testify6030 against us: for3588 our transgressions6588 are with854 us; and as for our iniquities,5771 we know3045 them;
13 In transgressing6586 and lying3584 against the LORD,3068 and departing away5253 from4480 310 our God,430 speaking1696 oppression6233 and revolt,5627 conceiving2029 and uttering1897 from the heart4480 3820 words1697 of falsehood.8267
14 And judgment4941 is turned away5253 backward,268 and justice6666 standeth5975 afar off:4480 7350 for3588 truth571 is fallen3782 in the street,7339 and equity5229 cannot3201 3808 enter.935
15 Yea, truth571 faileth;1961 5737 and he that departeth5493 from evil4480 7451 maketh himself a prey:7997 and the LORD3068 saw7200 it, and it displeased7489 5869 him that3588 there was no369 judgment.4941
16 And he saw7200 that3588 there was no369 man,376 and wondered8074 that3588 there was no369 intercessor:6293 therefore his arm2220 brought salvation3467 unto him; and his righteousness,6666 it1931 sustained5564 him.
17 For he put on3847 righteousness6666 as a breastplate,8302 and a helmet3553 of salvation3444 upon his head;7218 and he put on3847 the garments899 of vengeance5359 for clothing,8516 and was clad5844 with zeal7068 as a cloak.4598
18 According5921 to their deeds,1578 accordingly5921 he will repay,7999 fury2534 to his adversaries,6862 recompense1576 to his enemies;341 to the islands339 he will repay7999 recompense.1576
19 So shall they fear3372 853 the name8034 of the LORD3068 from the west,4480 4628 and 853 his glory3519 from the rising4480 4217 of the sun.8121 When3588 the enemy6862 shall come in935 like a flood,5104 the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 shall lift up a standard5127 against him.
20 And the Redeemer1350 shall come935 to Zion,6726 and unto them that turn from7725 transgression6588 in Jacob,3290 saith5002 the LORD.3068
21 As for me,589 this2063 is my covenant1285 with854 them, saith559 the LORD;3068 My spirit7307 that834 is upon5921 thee, and my words1697 which834 I have put7760 in thy mouth,6310 shall not3808 depart4185 out of thy mouth,4480 6310 nor out of the mouth4480 6310 of thy seed,2233 nor out of the mouth4480 6310 of thy seed's2233 seed,2233 saith559 the LORD,3068 from henceforth4480 6258 and forever.5704 5769
1 Arise,6965 shine;215 for3588 thy light216 is come,935 and the glory3519 of the LORD3068 is risen2224 upon5921 thee.
2 For,3588 behold,2009 the darkness2822 shall cover3680 the earth,776 and gross darkness6205 the people:3816 but the LORD3068 shall arise2224 upon5921 thee, and his glory3519 shall be seen7200 upon5921 thee.
3 And the Gentiles1471 shall come1980 to thy light,216 and kings4428 to the brightness5051 of thy rising.2225
4 Lift up5375 thine eyes5869 round about,5439 and see:7200 all3605 they gather themselves together,6908 they come935 to thee: thy sons1121 shall come935 from far,4480 7350 and thy daughters1323 shall be nursed539 at5921 thy side.6654
5 Then227 thou shalt see,7200 and flow together,5102 and thine heart3824 shall fear,6342 and be enlarged;7337 because3588 the abundance1995 of the sea3220 shall be converted2015 unto5921 thee, the forces2428 of the Gentiles1471 shall come935 unto thee.
6 The multitude8229 of camels1581 shall cover3680 thee, the dromedaries1070 of Midian4080 and Ephah;5891 all3605 they from Sheba4480 7614 shall come:935 they shall bring5375 gold2091 and incense;3828 and they shall show forth1319 the praises8416 of the LORD.3068
7 All3605 the flocks6629 of Kedar6938 shall be gathered together6908 unto thee, the rams352 of Nebaioth5032 shall minister8334 unto thee: they shall come up5927 with5921 acceptance7522 on mine altar,4196 and I will glorify6286 the house1004 of my glory.8597
8 Who4310 are these428 that fly5774 as a cloud,5645 and as the doves3123 to413 their windows?699
9 Surely3588 the isles339 shall wait6960 for me, and the ships591 of Tarshish8659 first,7223 to bring935 thy sons1121 from far,4480 7350 their silver3701 and their gold2091 with854 them, unto the name8034 of the LORD3068 thy God,430 and to the Holy One6918 of Israel,3478 because3588 he hath glorified6286 thee.
10 And the sons1121 of strangers5236 shall build up1129 thy walls,2346 and their kings4428 shall minister8334 unto thee: for3588 in my wrath7110 I smote5221 thee, but in my favor7522 have I had mercy7355 on thee.
11 Therefore thy gates8179 shall be open6605 continually;8548 they shall not3808 be shut5462 day3119 nor night;3915 that men may bring935 unto413 thee the forces2428 of the Gentiles,1471 and that their kings4428 may be brought.5090
12 For3588 the nation1471 and kingdom4467 that834 will not3808 serve5647 thee shall perish;6 yea, those nations1471 shall be utterly wasted.2717 2717
13 The glory3519 of Lebanon3844 shall come935 unto413 thee, the fir tree,1265 the pine tree,8410 and the box8391 together,3162 to beautify6286 the place4725 of my sanctuary;4720 and I will make the place4725 of my feet7272 glorious.3513
14 The sons1121 also of them that afflicted6031 thee shall come1980 bending7817 unto413 thee; and all3605 they that despised5006 thee shall bow themselves down7812 at5921 the soles3709 of thy feet;7272 and they shall call7121 thee, The city5892 of the LORD,3068 The Zion6726 of the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
15 Whereas8478 thou hast been1961 forsaken5800 and hated,8130 so that no man369 went through5674 thee, I will make7760 thee an eternal5769 excellency,1347 a joy4885 of many generations.1755 1755
16 Thou shalt also suck3243 the milk2461 of the Gentiles,1471 and shalt suck3243 the breast7699 of kings:4428 and thou shalt know3045 that3588 I589 the LORD3068 am thy Savior3467 and thy Redeemer,1350 the mighty One46 of Jacob.3290
17 For8478 brass5178 I will bring935 gold,2091 and for8478 iron1270 I will bring935 silver,3701 and for8478 wood6086 brass,5178 and for8478 stones68 iron:1270 I will also make7760 thy officers6486 peace,7965 and thine exactors5065 righteousness.6666
18 Violence2555 shall no3808 more5750 be heard8085 in thy land,776 wasting7701 nor destruction7667 within thy borders;1366 but thou shalt call7121 thy walls2346 Salvation,3444 and thy gates8179 Praise.8416
19 The sun8121 shall be1961 no3808 more5750 thy light216 by day;3119 neither3808 for brightness5051 shall the moon3394 give light215 unto thee: but the LORD3068 shall be1961 unto thee an everlasting5769 light,216 and thy God430 thy glory.8597
20 Thy sun8121 shall no3808 more5750 go down;935 neither3808 shall thy moon3391 withdraw itself:622 for3588 the LORD3068 shall be1961 thine everlasting5769 light,216 and the days3117 of thy mourning60 shall be ended.7999
21 Thy people5971 also shall be all3605 righteous:6662 they shall inherit3423 the land776 forever,5769 the branch5342 of my planting,4302 the work4639 of my hands,3027 that I may be glorified.6286
22 A little one6996 shall become1961 a thousand,505 and a small one6810 a strong6099 nation:1471 I589 the LORD3068 will hasten2363 it in his time.6256
1 The Spirit7307 of the Lord136 GOD3069 is upon5921 me; because3282 the LORD3068 hath anointed4886 me to preach good tidings1319 unto the meek;6035 he hath sent7971 me to bind up2280 the brokenhearted,7665 3820 to proclaim7121 liberty1865 to the captives,7617 and the opening of the prison6495 to them that are bound;631
2 To proclaim7121 the acceptable7522 year8141 of the LORD,3068 and the day3117 of vengeance5359 of our God;430 to comfort5162 all3605 that mourn;57
3 To appoint7760 unto them that mourn57 in Zion,6726 to give5414 unto them beauty6287 for8478 ashes,665 the oil8081 of joy8342 for8478 mourning,60 the garment4594 of praise8416 for8478 the spirit7307 of heaviness;3544 that they might be called7121 trees352 of righteousness,6664 the planting4302 of the LORD,3068 that he might be glorified.6286
4 And they shall build1129 the old5769 wastes,2723 they shall raise up6965 the former7223 desolations,8074 and they shall repair2318 the waste2721 cities,5892 the desolations8074 of many generations.1755 1755
5 And strangers2114 shall stand5975 and feed7462 your flocks,6629 and the sons1121 of the alien5236 shall be your plowmen406 and your vinedressers.3755
6 But ye859 shall be named7121 the Priests3548 of the LORD:3068 men shall call559 you the Ministers8334 of our God:430 ye shall eat398 the riches2428 of the Gentiles,1471 and in their glory3519 shall ye boast yourselves.3235
7 For8478 your shame1322 ye shall have double;4932 and for confusion3639 they shall rejoice7442 in their portion:2506 therefore3651 in their land776 they shall possess3423 the double:4932 everlasting5769 joy8057 shall be1961 unto them.
8 For3588 I589 the LORD3068 love157 judgment,4941 I hate8130 robbery1498 for burnt offering;5930 and I will direct5414 their work6468 in truth,571 and I will make3772 an everlasting5769 covenant1285 with them.
9 And their seed2233 shall be known3045 among the Gentiles,1471 and their offspring6631 among8432 the people:5971 all3605 that see7200 them shall acknowledge5234 them, that3588 they1992 are the seed2233 which the LORD3068 hath blessed.1288
10 I will greatly rejoice7797 7797 in the LORD,3068 my soul5315 shall be joyful1523 in my God;430 for3588 he hath clothed3847 me with the garments899 of salvation,3468 he hath covered3271 me with the robe4598 of righteousness,6666 as a bridegroom2860 decketh3547 himself with ornaments,6287 and as a bride3618 adorneth5710 herself with her jewels.3627
11 For3588 as the earth776 bringeth forth3318 her bud,6780 and as the garden1593 causeth the things that are sown2221 in it to spring forth;6779 so3651 the Lord136 GOD3069 will cause righteousness6666 and praise8416 to spring forth6779 before5048 all3605 the nations.1471
1 For Zion's sake4616 6726 will I not3808 hold my peace,2814 and for Jerusalem's sake4616 I will not3808 rest,8252 until5704 the righteousness6664 thereof go forth3318 as brightness,5051 and the salvation3444 thereof as a lamp3940 that burneth.1197
2 And the Gentiles1471 shall see7200 thy righteousness,6664 and all3605 kings4428 thy glory:3519 and thou shalt be called7121 by a new2319 name,8034 which834 the mouth6310 of the LORD3068 shall name.5344
3 Thou shalt also be1961 a crown5850 of glory8597 in the hand3027 of the LORD,3068 and a royal4410 diadem6797 in the hand3709 of thy God.430
4 Thou shalt no3808 more5750 be termed559 Forsaken;5800 neither3808 shall thy land776 any more5750 be termed559 Desolate:8077 but3588 thou shalt be called7121 Hephzibah,2657 and thy land776 Beulah:1166 for3588 the LORD3068 delighteth2654 in thee, and thy land776 shall be married.1166
5 For3588 as a young man970 marrieth1166 a virgin,1330 so shall thy sons1121 marry1166 thee: and as the bridegroom2860 rejoiceth4885 over5921 the bride,3618 so shall thy God430 rejoice7797 over5921 thee.
6 I have set6485 watchmen8104 upon5921 thy walls,2346 O Jerusalem,3389 which shall never3808 8548 hold their peace2814 day3117 nor night:3915 ye that make mention2142 of 853 the LORD,3068 keep not silence,408 1824
7 And give5414 him no408 rest,1824 till5704 he establish,3559 and till5704 he make7760 853 Jerusalem3389 a praise8416 in the earth.776
8 The LORD3068 hath sworn7650 by his right hand,3225 and by the arm2220 of his strength,5797 Surely I will no518 more5750 give5414 853 thy corn1715 to be meat3978 for thine enemies;341 and the sons1121 of the stranger5236 shall not518 drink8354 thy wine,8492 for the which834 thou hast labored:3021
9 But3588 they that have gathered622 it shall eat398 it, and praise1984 853 the LORD;3068 and they that have brought it together6908 shall drink8354 it in the courts2691 of my holiness.6944
10 Go through,5674 go through5674 the gates;8179 prepare6437 ye the way1870 of the people;5971 cast up,5549 cast up5549 the highway;4546 gather out5619 the stones;4480 68 lift up7311 a standard5251 for5921 the people.5971
11 Behold,2009 the LORD3068 hath proclaimed8085 unto413 the end7097 of the world,776 Say559 ye to the daughter1323 of Zion,6726 Behold,2009 thy salvation3468 cometh;935 behold,2009 his reward7939 is with854 him, and his work6468 before6440 him.
12 And they shall call7121 them, The holy6944 people,5971 The redeemed1350 of the LORD:3068 and thou shalt be called,7121 Sought out,1875 A city5892 not3808 forsaken.5800
1 Who4310 is this2088 that cometh935 from Edom,4480 123 with dyed2556 garments899 from Bozrah?4480 1224 this2088 that is glorious1921 in his apparel,3830 traveling6808 in the greatness7230 of his strength?3581 I589 that speak1696 in righteousness,6666 mighty7227 to save.3467
2 Wherefore4069 art thou red122 in thine apparel,3830 and thy garments899 like him that treadeth1869 in the wine vat?1660
3 I have trodden1869 the winepress6333 alone;905 and of the people4480 5971 there was none369 376 with854 me: for I will tread1869 them in mine anger,639 and trample7429 them in my fury;2534 and their blood5332 shall be sprinkled5137 upon5921 my garments,899 and I will stain1351 all3605 my raiment.4403
4 For3588 the day3117 of vengeance5359 is in mine heart,3820 and the year8141 of my redeemed1350 is come.935
5 And I looked,5027 and there was none369 to help;5826 and I wondered8074 that there was none369 to uphold:5564 therefore mine own arm2220 brought salvation3467 unto me; and my fury,2534 it1931 upheld5564 me.
6 And I will tread down947 the people5971 in mine anger,639 and make them drunk7937 in my fury,2534 and I will bring down3381 their strength5332 to the earth.776
7 I will mention2142 the lovingkindnesses2617 of the LORD,3068 and the praises8416 of the LORD,3068 according5921 to all3605 that834 the LORD3068 hath bestowed1580 on us, and the great7227 goodness2898 toward the house1004 of Israel,3478 which834 he hath bestowed1580 on them according to his mercies,7356 and according to the multitude7230 of his lovingkindnesses.2617
8 For he said,559 Surely389 they1992 are my people,5971 children1121 that will not3808 lie:8266 so he was1961 their Savior.3467
9 In all3605 their affliction6869 he was afflicted,6862 and the angel4397 of his presence6440 saved3467 them: in his love160 and in his pity2551 he1931 redeemed1350 them; and he bore5190 them, and carried5375 them all3605 the days3117 of old.5769
10 But they1992 rebelled,4784 and vexed6087 853 his Holy6944 Spirit:7307 therefore he was turned2015 to be their enemy,341 and he1931 fought3898 against them.
11 Then he remembered2142 the days3117 of old,5769 Moses,4872 and his people,5971 saying, Where346 is he that brought them up5927 out of the sea4480 3220 with854 the shepherd7462 of his flock?6629 where346 is he that put7760 853 his Holy6944 Spirit7307 within7130 him?
12 That led1980 them by the right hand3225 of Moses4872 with his glorious8597 arm,2220 dividing1234 the water4325 before4480 6440 them, to make6213 himself an everlasting5769 name?8034
13 That led1980 them through the deep,8415 as a horse5483 in the wilderness,4057 that they should not3808 stumble?3782
14 As a beast929 goeth down3381 into the valley,1237 the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 caused him to rest:5117 so3651 didst thou lead5090 thy people,5971 to make6213 thyself a glorious8597 name.8034
15 Look down5027 from heaven,4480 8064 and behold7200 from the habitation4480 2073 of thy holiness6944 and of thy glory:8597 where346 is thy zeal7068 and thy strength,1369 the sounding1995 of thy bowels4578 and of thy mercies7356 toward413 me? are they restrained?662
16 Doubtless3588 thou859 art our father,1 though3588 Abraham85 be ignorant3808 3045 of us, and Israel3478 acknowledge5234 us not:3808 thou,859 O LORD,3068 art our father,1 our redeemer;1350 thy name8034 is from everlasting.4480 5769
17 O LORD,3068 why4100 hast thou made us to err8582 from thy ways,4480 1870 and hardened7188 our heart3820 from thy fear?4480 3374 Return7725 for thy servants' sake,4616 5650 the tribes7626 of thine inheritance.5159
18 The people5971 of thy holiness6944 have possessed3423 it but a little while:4705 our adversaries6862 have trodden down947 thy sanctuary.4720
19 We are1961 thine: thou never3808 4480 5769 didst bear rule4910 over them; they were not3808 called7121 by5921 thy name.8034
1 Oh that3863 thou wouldest rend7167 the heavens,8064 that thou wouldest come down,3381 that the mountains2022 might flow down2151 at thy presence,4480 6440
2 As when the melting2003 fire784 burneth,6919 the fire784 causeth the waters4325 to boil,1158 to make thy name8034 known3045 to thine adversaries,6862 that the nations1471 may tremble7264 at thy presence!4480 6440
3 When thou didst6213 terrible things3372 which we looked not for,6960 3808 thou camest down,3381 the mountains2022 flowed down2151 at thy presence.4480 6440
4 For since the beginning of the world4480 5769 men have not3808 heard,8085 nor3808 perceived by the ear,238 neither3808 hath the eye5869 seen,7200 O God,430 beside2108 thee, what he hath prepared6213 for him that waiteth2442 for him.
5 Thou meetest6293 853 him that rejoiceth7797 and worketh6213 righteousness,6664 those that remember2142 thee in thy ways:1870 behold,2005 thou859 art wroth;7107 for we have sinned:2398 in those is continuance,5769 and we shall be saved.3467
6 But we are1961 all3605 as an unclean2931 thing, and all3605 our righteousnesses6666 are as filthy5708 rags;899 and we all3605 do fade5034 as a leaf;5929 and our iniquities,5771 like the wind,7307 have taken us away.5375
7 And there is none369 that calleth7121 upon thy name,8034 that stirreth up himself5782 to take hold2388 of thee: for3588 thou hast hid5641 thy face6440 from4480 us, and hast consumed4127 us, because3027 of our iniquities.5771
8 But now,6258 O LORD,3068 thou859 art our father;1 we587 are the clay,2563 and thou859 our potter;3335 and we all3605 are the work4639 of thy hand.3027
9 Be not wroth7107 408 very sore,5704 3966 O LORD,3068 neither408 remember2142 iniquity5771 forever:5703 behold,2005 see,5027 we beseech thee,4994 we are all3605 thy people.5971
10 Thy holy6944 cities5892 are1961 a wilderness,4057 Zion6726 is1961 a wilderness,4057 Jerusalem3389 a desolation.8077
11 Our holy6944 and our beautiful8597 house,1004 where834 our fathers1 praised1984 thee, is1961 burned up8316 with fire:784 and all3605 our pleasant things4261 are1961 laid waste.2723
12 Wilt thou refrain thyself662 for5921 these428 things, O LORD?3068 wilt thou hold thy peace,2814 and afflict6031 us very sore?5704 3966
1 I am sought1875 of them that asked7592 not3808 for me; I am found4672 of them that sought1245 me not:3808 I said,559 Behold2009 me, behold2009 me, unto413 a nation1471 that was not3808 called7121 by my name.8034
2 I have spread out6566 my hands3027 all3605 the day3117 unto413 a rebellious5637 people,5971 which walketh1980 in a way1870 that was not3808 good,2896 after310 their own thoughts;4284
3 A people5971 that provoketh me to anger3707 853 continually8548 to5921 my face;6440 that sacrificeth2076 in gardens,1593 and burneth incense6999 upon5921 altars of brick;3843
4 Which remain3427 among the graves,6913 and lodge3885 in the monuments,5341 which eat398 swine's2386 flesh,1320 and broth4839 of abominable6292 things is in their vessels;3627
5 Which say,559 Stand7126 by413 thyself, come not near5066 408 to me; for3588 I am holier6942 than thou. These428 are a smoke6227 in my nose,639 a fire784 that burneth3344 all3605 the day.3117
6 Behold,2009 it is written3789 before6440 me: I will not3808 keep silence,2814 but3588 518 will recompense,7999 even recompense7999 into5921 their bosom,2436
7 Your iniquities,5771 and the iniquities5771 of your fathers1 together,3162 saith559 the LORD,3068 which834 have burned incense6999 upon5921 the mountains,2022 and blasphemed2778 me upon5921 the hills:1389 therefore will I measure4058 their former7223 work6468 into413 their bosom.2436
8 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 As834 the new wine8492 is found4672 in the cluster,811 and one saith,559 Destroy7843 it not;408 for3588 a blessing1293 is in it: so3651 will I do6213 for my servants' sakes,4616 5650 that I may not1115 destroy7843 them all.3605
9 And I will bring forth3318 a seed2233 out of Jacob,4480 3290 and out of Judah4480 3063 an inheritor3423 of my mountains:2022 and mine elect972 shall inherit3423 it, and my servants5650 shall dwell7931 there.8033
10 And Sharon8289 shall be1961 a fold5116 of flocks,6629 and the valley6010 of Achor5911 a place for the herds1241 to lie down in,7258 for my people5971 that834 have sought1875 me.
11 But ye859 are they that forsake5800 the LORD,3068 that forget7913 853 my holy6944 mountain,2022 that prepare6186 a table7979 for that troop,1408 and that furnish4390 the drink offering4469 unto that number.4507
12 Therefore will I number4487 you to the sword,2719 and ye shall all3605 bow down3766 to the slaughter:2874 because3282 when I called,7121 ye did not3808 answer;6030 when I spoke,1696 ye did not3808 hear;8085 but did6213 evil7451 before mine eyes,5869 and did choose977 that wherein834 I delighted2654 not.3808
13 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 Behold,2009 my servants5650 shall eat,398 but ye859 shall be hungry:7456 behold,2009 my servants5650 shall drink,8354 but ye859 shall be thirsty:6770 behold,2009 my servants5650 shall rejoice,8055 but ye859 shall be ashamed:954
14 Behold,2009 my servants5650 shall sing7442 for joy4480 2898 of heart,3820 but ye859 shall cry6817 for sorrow4480 3511 of heart,3820 and shall howl3213 for vexation4480 7667 of spirit.7307
15 And ye shall leave5117 your name8034 for a curse7621 unto my chosen:972 for the Lord136 GOD3069 shall slay4191 thee, and call7121 his servants5650 by another312 name:8034
16 That he who834 blesseth himself1288 in the earth776 shall bless himself1288 in the God430 of truth;543 and he that sweareth7650 in the earth776 shall swear7650 by the God430 of truth;543 because3588 the former7223 troubles6869 are forgotten,7911 and because3588 they are hid5641 from mine eyes.4480 5869
17 For,3588 behold,2009 I create1254 new2319 heavens8064 and a new2319 earth:776 and the former7223 shall not3808 be remembered,2142 nor3808 come5927 into5921 mind.3820
18 But3588 518 be ye glad7797 and rejoice1523 forever5704 5703 in that which834 I589 create:1254 for,3588 behold,2009 I create1254 853 Jerusalem3389 a rejoicing,1525 and her people5971 a joy.4885
19 And I will rejoice1523 in Jerusalem,3389 and joy7797 in my people:5971 and the voice6963 of weeping1065 shall be no3808 more5750 heard8085 in her, nor the voice6963 of crying.2201
20 There shall be1961 no3808 more5750 thence4480 8033 an infant5764 of days,3117 nor an old man2205 that834 hath not3808 filled4390 853 his days:3117 for3588 the child5288 shall die4191 a hundred3967 years8141 old;1121 but the sinner2398 being a hundred3967 years8141 old1121 shall be accursed.7043
21 And they shall build1129 houses,1004 and inhabit3427 them; and they shall plant5193 vineyards,3754 and eat398 the fruit6529 of them.
22 They shall not3808 build,1129 and another312 inhabit;3427 they shall not3808 plant,5193 and another312 eat:398 for3588 as the days3117 of a tree6086 are the days3117 of my people,5971 and mine elect972 shall long enjoy1086 the work4639 of their hands.3027
23 They shall not3808 labor3021 in vain,7385 nor3808 bring forth3205 for trouble;928 for3588 they1992 are the seed2233 of the blessed1288 of the LORD,3068 and their offspring6631 with854 them.
24 And it shall come to pass,1961 that before2962 they call,7121 I589 will answer;6030 and while they1992 are yet5750 speaking,1696 I589 will hear.8085
25 The wolf2061 and the lamb2924 shall feed7462 together,259 and the lion738 shall eat398 straw8401 like the bullock:1241 and dust6083 shall be the serpent's5175 meat.3899 They shall not3808 hurt7489 nor3808 destroy7843 in all3605 my holy6944 mountain,2022 saith559 the LORD.3068
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 The heaven8064 is my throne,3678 and the earth776 is my footstool:1916 7272 where335 is the house1004 that834 ye build1129 unto me? and where335 is the2088 place4725 of my rest?4496
2 For all3605 those428 things hath mine hand3027 made,6213 and all3605 those428 things have been,1961 saith5002 the LORD:3068 but to413 this2088 man will I look,5027 even to413 him that is poor6041 and of a contrite5223 spirit,7307 and trembleth2730 at5921 my word.1697
3 He that killeth7819 an ox7794 is as if he slew5221 a man;376 he that sacrificeth2076 a lamb,7716 as if he cut off a dog's neck;6202 3611 he that offereth5927 an oblation,4503 as if he offered swine's2386 blood;1818 he that burneth2142 incense,3828 as if he blessed1288 an idol.205 Yea,1571 they1992 have chosen977 their own ways,1870 and their soul5315 delighteth2654 in their abominations.8251
4 I589 also1571 will choose977 their delusions,8586 and will bring935 their fears4035 upon them; because3282 when I called,7121 none369 did answer;6030 when I spoke,1696 they did not3808 hear:8085 but they did6213 evil7451 before mine eyes,5869 and chose977 that in which834 I delighted2654 not.3808
5 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 ye that tremble2730 at413 his word;1697 Your brethren251 that hated8130 you, that cast you out5077 for my name's sake,4616 8034 said,559 Let the LORD3068 be glorified:3513 but he shall appear7200 to your joy,8057 and they1992 shall be ashamed.954
6 A voice6963 of noise7588 from the city,4480 5892 a voice6963 from the temple,4480 1964 a voice6963 of the LORD3068 that rendereth7999 recompense1576 to his enemies.341
7 Before2962 she travailed,2342 she brought forth;3205 before2962 her pain2256 came,935 she was delivered4422 of a man child.2145
8 Who4310 hath heard8085 such a thing?2063 who4310 hath seen7200 such things?428 Shall the earth776 be made to bring forth2342 in one259 day?3117 or shall a nation1471 be born3205 at once?259 6471 for3588 as soon1571 as Zion6726 travailed,2342 she brought forth3205 853 her children.1121
9 Shall I589 bring to the birth,7665 and not3808 cause to bring forth?3205 saith559 the LORD:3068 shall I589 cause to bring forth,3205 and shut6113 the womb? saith559 thy God.430
10 Rejoice8055 ye with854 Jerusalem,3389 and be glad1523 with her, all3605 ye that love157 her: rejoice7797 for joy4885 with854 her, all3605 ye that mourn56 for5921 her:
11 That4616 ye may suck,3243 and be satisfied7646 with the breasts4480 7699 of her consolations;8575 that4616 ye may milk out,4711 and be delighted6026 with the abundance4480 2123 of her glory.3519
12 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2009 I will extend5186 peace7965 to413 her like a river,5104 and the glory3519 of the Gentiles1471 like a flowing7857 stream:5158 then shall ye suck,3243 ye shall be borne5375 upon5921 her sides,6654 and be dandled8173 upon5921 her knees.1290
13 As one376 whom834 his mother517 comforteth,5162 so3651 will I595 comfort5162 you; and ye shall be comforted5162 in Jerusalem.3389
14 And when ye see7200 this, your heart3820 shall rejoice,7797 and your bones6106 shall flourish6524 like an herb:1877 and the hand3027 of the LORD3068 shall be known3045 toward854 his servants,5650 and his indignation2194 toward854 his enemies.341
15 For,3588 behold,2009 the LORD3068 will come935 with fire,784 and with his chariots4818 like a whirlwind,5492 to render7725 his anger639 with fury,2534 and his rebuke1606 with flames3851 of fire.784
16 For3588 by fire784 and by his sword2719 will the LORD3068 plead8199 with854 all3605 flesh:1320 and the slain2491 of the LORD3068 shall be many.7231
17 They that sanctify themselves,6942 and purify themselves2891 in413 the gardens1593 behind310 one259 tree in the midst,8432 eating398 swine's2386 flesh,1320 and the abomination,8263 and the mouse,5909 shall be consumed5486 together,3162 saith5002 the LORD.3068
18 For I595 know their works4639 and their thoughts:4284 it shall come,935 that I will gather6908 853 all3605 nations1471 and tongues;3956 and they shall come,935 and see7200 853 my glory.3519
19 And I will set7760 a sign226 among them, and I will send7971 those that escape6412 of them4480 unto413 the nations,1471 to Tarshish,8659 Pul,6322 and Lud,3865 that draw4900 the bow,7198 to Tubal,8422 and Javan,3120 to the isles339 afar off,7350 that834 have not3808 heard8085 853 my fame,8088 neither3808 have seen7200 853 my glory;3519 and they shall declare5046 853 my glory3519 among the Gentiles.1471
20 And they shall bring935 853 all3605 your brethren251 for an offering4503 unto the LORD3068 out of all4480 3605 nations1471 upon horses,5483 and in chariots,7393 and in litters,6632 and upon mules,6505 and upon swift beasts,3753 to5921 my holy6944 mountain2022 Jerusalem,3389 saith559 the LORD,3068 as834 the children1121 of Israel3478 bring935 853 an offering4503 in a clean2889 vessel3627 into the house1004 of the LORD.3068
21 And I will also1571 take3947 of4480 them for priests3548 and for Levites,3881 saith559 the LORD.3068
22 For3588 as834 the new2319 heavens8064 and the new2319 earth,776 which834 I589 will make,6213 shall remain5975 before6440 me, saith5002 the LORD,3068 so3651 shall your seed2233 and your name8034 remain.5975
23 And it shall come to pass,1961 that from4480 1767 one new moon2320 to another,2320 and from4480 1767 one sabbath7676 to another,7676 shall all3605 flesh1320 come935 to worship7812 before6440 me, saith559 the LORD.3068
24 And they shall go forth,3318 and look7200 upon the carcasses6297 of the men376 that have transgressed6586 against me: for3588 their worm8438 shall not3808 die,4191 neither3808 shall their fire784 be quenched;3518 and they shall be1961 an abhorring1860 unto all3605 flesh.1320
