4 What more could have been done 06213 to my vineyard 03754, that I have not done 06213 in it? Why 04069, when I expected 06960 that it should bring forth 06213 grapes 06025, brought it forth 06213 wild grapes 0891?
5 And now come; I will tell 03045 you what I will do 06213 to my vineyard 03754: I will take away 05493 its hedge 04881, and it shall be eaten up 01197; and break down 06555 the wall 01447 of it, and it shall be trodden down 04823: trodden…: Heb. for a treading

13 Therefore my people 05971 have gone into captivity 01540, because they have no knowledge 01847: and their honourable 03519 men 04962 are famished 07458, and their multitude 01995 dried up 06704 with thirst 06772. honourable…: Heb. glory are men of famine
14 Therefore hell 07585 hath enlarged 07337 herself 05315, and opened 06473 her mouth 06310 without measure 02706: and their glory 01926, and their multitude 01995, and their pomp 07588, and he that rejoiceth 05938, shall descend 03381 into it.
15 And the mean man 0120 shall be brought down 07817, and the mighty man 0376 shall be humbled 08213, and the eyes 05869 of the lofty 01364 shall be abased 08213:
16 But the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 shall be exalted 01361 in judgment 04941, and God 0410 that is holy 06918 shall be sanctified 06942 in righteousness 06666. God…: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy
17 Then shall the lambs 03532 feed 07462 after their manner 01699, and the waste places 02723 of the fat ones 04220 shall strangers 01481 eat 0398.
18 Woe 01945 to them that draw 04900 iniquity 05771 with cords 02256 of vanity 07723, and sin 02403 as it were with a cart 05699 rope 05688:
19 That say 0559, Let him make speed 04116, and hasten 02363 his work 04639, that we may see 07200 it: and let the counsel 06098 of the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478 draw near 07126 and come 0935, that we may know 03045 it!
20 Woe 01945 to them that call 0559 evil 07451 good 02896, and good 02896 evil 07451; that put 07760 darkness 02822 for light 0216, and light 0216 for darkness 02822; that put 07760 bitter 04751 for sweet 04966, and sweet 04966 for bitter 04751! call…: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc

23 Who justify 06663 the wicked 07563 for 06118 reward 07810, and take away 05493 the righteousness 06666 of the righteous 06662 from him!
24 Therefore as the fire 0784 devoureth 0398 the stubble 07179, and the flame 03956, 3852 consumeth 07503 the chaff 02842, so their root 08328 shall be as rottenness 04716, and their blossom 06525 shall go up 05927 as dust 080: because they have cast away 03988 the law 08451 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, and despised 05006 the word 0565 of the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478. fire: Heb. tongue of fire
25 Therefore is the anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 kindled 02734 against his people 05971, and he hath stretched forth 05186 his hand 03027 against them, and hath smitten 05221 them: and the hills 02022 trembled 07264, and their dead bodies 05038 were torn 05478 in the midst 07130 of the streets 02351. For all this his anger 0639 is not turned away 07725, but his hand 03027 is stretched out 05186 still. torn: or, as dung
26 And he will lift up 05375 an ensign 05251 to the nations 01471 from afar 07350, and will hiss 08319 to them from the end 07097 of the earth 0776: and, behold, they shall come 0935 with speed 04120 swiftly 07031:
27 None shall be weary 05889 nor stumble 03782 among them; none shall slumber 05123 nor sleep 03462; neither shall the belt 0232 of their loins 02504 be loosed 06605, nor the latchet 08288 of their shoes 05275 be broken 05423:
28 Whose arrows 02671 are sharp 08150, and all their bows 07198 bent 01869, their horses 05483’ hoofs 06541 shall be counted 02803 like flint 06862, and their wheels 01534 like a whirlwind 05492:
29 Their roaring 07581 shall be like a lion 03833, they shall roar 07580 like young lions 03715: yea, they shall roar 05098, and lay hold 0270 of the prey 02964, and shall carry it away safe 06403, and none shall deliver 05337 it.
30 And in that day 03117 they shall roar 05098 against them like the roaring 05100 of the sea 03220: and if one looketh 05027 to the land 0776, behold darkness 02822 and sorrow 06862, and the light 0216 is darkened 02821 in its heavens 06183. sorrow: or, distressand the light…: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof
1 In the year 08141 that king 04428 Uzziah 05818 died 04194 I saw 07200 also 0853 the Lord 0136 sitting 03427 upon a throne 03678, high 07311 and lifted up 05375, and his train 07757 filled 04392, 853 the temple 01964. his…: or, the skirts thereof
2 Above 04605 it stood 05975 the seraphims 08314: each one 0259 had six 08337 wings 03671; with two 08147 he covered 03680 his face 06440, and with two 08147 he covered 03680 his feet 07272, and with two 08147 he flew 05774.
3 And one cried 07121 to another, and said 0559, Holy 06918, holy 06918, holy 06918, is the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635: the whole earth 0776 is full 04393 of his glory 03519. one…: Heb. this cried to thisthe whole…: Heb. his glory is the fulness of the whole earth
4 And the posts 0520 of the door 05592 moved 05128 at the voice 06963 of him that cried 07121, and the house 01004 was filled 04390 with smoke 06227. door: Heb. thresholds
5 Then said 0559 I, Woe 0188 is me! for I am undone 01820; because I am a man 0376 of unclean 02931 lips 08193, and I dwell 03427 in the midst 08432 of a people 05971 of unclean 02931 lips 08193: for my eyes 05869 have seen 07200 the King 04428, the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635. undone: Heb. cut off
6 Then one 0259 of the seraphims 08314 flew 05774 to me, having a live coal 07531 in his hand 03027, which he had taken 03947 with the tongs 04457 from off the altar 04196: having…: Heb. and in his hand a live coal
7 And he laid 05060 it upon my mouth 06310, and said 0559, Lo, this hath touched 05060 thy lips 08193; and thy iniquity 05771 is taken away 05493, and thy sin 02403 purged 03722. laid…: Heb. caused it to touch
8 Also I heard 08085 the voice 06963 of the Lord 0136, saying 0559, Whom shall I send 07971, and who will go 03212 for us? Then said 0559 I, Here am I; send 07971 me. Here…: Heb. behold me
9 And he said 0559, Go 03212, and tell 0559 this people 05971, Hear 08085 ye indeed 08085, but understand 0995 not; and see 07200 ye indeed 07200, but perceive 03045 not. indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc
10 Make the heart 03820 of this people 05971 fat 08080, and make their ears 0241 heavy 03513, and shut 08173 their eyes 05869; lest they see 07200 with their eyes 05869, and hear 08085 with their ears 0241, and understand 0995 with their heart 03824, and be converted 07725, and be healed 07495.
11 Then said 0559 I, Lord 0136, how long? And he answered 0559, Until the cities 05892 shall be wasted 07582 without inhabitant 03427, and the houses 01004 without man 0120, and the land 0127 be utterly 08077 desolate 07582, utterly…: Heb. desolate with desolation
12 And the LORD 03068 shall have removed 07368 men 0120 far away 07368, and there be a great 07227 forsaking 05805 in the midst 07130 of the land 0776.
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth 06224, and it shall return 07725, and shall be eaten 01197: as a teil tree 0424, and as an oak 0437, whose substance 04678 is in them, when they cast 07995 their leaves: so the holy 06944 seed 02233 shall be the substance 04678 of it. and it…: or, when it is returned, and hath been brousedsubstance: or, stock, or, stem
1 And it came to pass in the days 03117 of Ahaz 0271 the son 01121 of Jotham 03147, the son 01121 of Uzziah 05818, king 04428 of Judah 03063, that Rezin 07526 the king 04428 of Syria 0758, and Pekah 06492 the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425, king 04428 of Israel 03478, went up 05927 toward Jerusalem 03389 to war 04421 against it, but could 03201 not prevail 03898 against it.
2 And it was told 05046 the house 01004 of David 01732, saying 0559, Syria 0758 is confederate 05117 with Ephraim 0669. And his heart 03824 was moved 05128, and the heart 03824 of his people 05971, as the trees 06086 of the forest 03293 are moved 05128 with 06440 the wind 07307. is confederate…: Heb. resteth on
3 Then said 0559 the LORD 03068 to Isaiah 03470, Go forth 03318 now to meet 07125 Ahaz 0271, thou, and Shearjashub 07610 thy son 01121, at the end 07097 of the conduit 08585 of the upper 05945 pool 01295 in the highway 04546 of the fuller’s 03526 field 07704; Shearjashub: that is, The remnant shall returnhighway: or, causeway
4 And say 0559 to him, Take heed 08104, and be quiet 08252; fear 03372 not, neither be fainthearted 07401, 3824 for the two 08147 tails 02180 of these smoking 06226 firebrands 0181, for the fierce 02750 anger 0639 of Rezin 07526 with Syria 0758, and of the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425. neither…: Heb. let not thy heart be tender
5 Because Syria 0758, Ephraim 0669, and the son 01121 of Remaliah 07425, have taken evil 07451 counsel 03289 against thee, saying 0559,
6 Let us go up 05927 against Judah 03063, and trouble 06973 it, and let us conquer 01234 it for ourselves and set 04427 a king 04428 in the midst 08432 of it, even the son 01121 of Tabeal 02870: vex: or, waken
7 Thus 03541 saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069, It shall not stand 06965, neither shall it come to pass.
8 For the head 07218 of Syria 0758 is Damascus 01834, and the head 07218 of Damascus 01834 is Rezin 07526; and within sixty 08346 and five 02568 years 08141 shall Ephraim 0669 be broken 02865, that it be not a people 05971. that…: Heb. from a people
9 And the head 07218 of Ephraim 0669 is Samaria 08111, and the head 07218 of Samaria 08111 is Remaliah’s 07425 son 01121. If ye will not believe 0539, surely ye shall not be established 0539. If…: or, Do ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable
10 Moreover the LORD 03068 spoke 01696 again 03254 to Ahaz 0271, saying 0559, Moreover…: Heb. And the LORD added to speak
11 Ask 07592 thee a sign 0226 from the LORD 03068 thy God 0430; ask 07592 it either in the depth 06009, or in the height 01361 above 04605. ask it…: or, make thy petition deep
12 But Ahaz 0271 said 0559, I will not ask 07592, neither will I tempt 05254, 853 the LORD 03068.
13 And he said 0559, Hear 08085 ye now, O house 01004 of David 01732; Is it a small thing 04592 for you to weary 03811 men 0582, but will ye weary 03811 my God 0430 also?
14 Therefore the Lord 0136 himself shall give 05414 you a sign 0226; Behold, the virgin 05959 shall conceive 02030, and bear 03205 a son 01121, and shall call 07121 his name 08034 Immanuel 06005, 410. shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call

16 For before the child 05288 shall know 03045 to refuse 03988 the evil 07451, and choose 0977 the good 02896, the land 0127 that thou abhorrest 06973 shall be 06440 forsaken 05800 by both 08147 her kings 04428.
17 The LORD 03068 shall bring 0935 upon thee, and upon thy people 05971, and upon thy father’s 01 house 01004, days 03117 that have not come 0935, from the day 03117 that Ephraim 0669 departed 05493 from Judah 03063; even the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that the LORD 03068 shall hiss 08319 for the fly 02070 that is in the uttermost part 07097 of the rivers 02975 of Egypt 04714, and for the bee 01682 that is in the land 0776 of Assyria 0804.
19 And they shall come 0935, and shall rest 05117 all of them in the desolate 01327 valleys 05158, and in the clefts 05357 of the rocks 05553, and upon all thorns 05285, and upon all bushes 05097. bushes: or, commendable trees
20 In the same day 03117 shall the Lord 0136 shave 01548 with a razor 08593 that is hired 07917, namely, by them beyond 05676 the river 05104, by the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, the head 07218, and the hair 08181 of the feet 07272: and it shall also consume 05595 the beard 02206.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that a man 0376 shall nourish 02421 a young 01241 cow 05697, and two 08147 sheep 06629;
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance 07230 of milk 02461 that they shall give 06213 he shall eat 0398 butter 02529: for butter 02529 and honey 01706 shall every one eat 0398 that is left 03498 in 07130 the land 0776. the land: Heb. the midst of the land
23 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that every place 04725 shall be, where there were a thousand 0505 vines 01612 worth a thousand 0505 pieces of silver 03701, it shall even be for briers 08068 and thorns 07898.
24 With arrows 02671 and with bows 07198 shall men come 0935 there; because all the land 0776 shall become briers 08068 and thorns 07898.
25 And on all hills 02022 that shall be dug 05737 with the mattock 04576, there shall not come there 0935 the fear 03374 of briers 08068 and thorns 07898: but it shall be for the sending forth 04916 of oxen 07794, and for the treading 04823 of lesser cattle 07716.
1 Moreover the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Take 03947 thee a great 01419 roll 01549, and write 03789 in it with a man’s 0582 pen 02747 concerning Mahershalalhashbaz 04122. Mahershalalhashbaz: Heb. In making speed to the spoil he hasteneth the prey, or, Make speed, etc

3 And I went 07126 to the prophetess 05031; and she conceived 02029, and bore 03205 a son 01121. Then said 0559 the LORD 03068 to me, Call 07121 his name 08034 Mahershalalhashbaz 04122. went: Heb. approached
4 For before the child 05288 shall have knowledge 03045 to cry 07121, My father 01, and my mother 0517, the riches 02428 of Damascus 01834 and the spoil 07998 of Samaria 08111 shall be taken away 05375 before 06440 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804. the riches…: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc
5 The LORD 03068 spoke 01696 also to me again 03254, saying 0559,

10 Take 05779 counsel 06098 together 05779, and it shall come to nought 06565; speak 01696 the word 01697, and it shall not stand 06965: for God 0410 is with us.
11 For the LORD 03068 spoke 0559 thus to me with a strong 02393 hand 03027, and instructed 03256 me that I should not walk 03212 in the way 01870 of this people 05971, saying 0559, with…: Heb. in strength of hand
12 Say 0559 ye not, A confederacy 07195, to all them to whom this people 05971 shall say 0559, A confederacy 07195; neither fear 03372 ye their fear 04172, nor be afraid 06206.
13 Sanctify 06942 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 himself; and let him be your fear 04172, and let him be your dread 06206.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary 04720; but for a stone 068 of stumbling 05063 and for a rock 06697 of offence 04383 to both 08147 the houses 01004 of Israel 03478, for a trap 06341 and for a snare 04170 to the inhabitants 03427 of Jerusalem 03389.
15 And many 07227 among them shall stumble 03782, and fall 05307, and be broken 07665, and be ensnared 03369, and be taken 03920.
16 Bind up 06887 the testimony 08584, seal 02856 the law 08451 among my disciples 03928.
17 And I will wait 02442 upon the LORD 03068, that hideth 05641 his face 06440 from the house 01004 of Jacob 03290, and I will look 06960 for him.
18 Behold, I and the children 03206 whom the LORD 03068 hath given 05414 me are for signs 0226 and for wonders 04159 in Israel 03478 from the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, who dwelleth 07931 in mount 02022 Zion 06726.
19 And when they shall say 0559 to you, Seek 01875 to them that are mediums 0178, and to wizards 03049 that peep 06850, and that mutter 01897: should not a people 05971 seek 01875 to their God 0430? for the living 02416 to the dead 04191?
20 To the law 08451 and to the testimony 08584: if they speak 0559 not according to this word 01697, it is because there is no light 07837 in them. no…: Heb. no morning
21 And they shall pass 05674 through it, distressed 07185 and hungry 07457: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry 07456, they shall be enraged 07107, and curse 07043 their king 04428 and their God 0430, and look 06437 upward 04605.
22 And they shall look 05027 to the earth 0776; and behold trouble 06869 and darkness 02825, dimness 04588 of anguish 06695; and they shall be driven 05080 to darkness 0653.
1 Nevertheless the dimness 04155 shall not be such as was in her distress 04164, when 06256 at the first 07223 he lightly afflicted 07043 the land 0776 of Zebulun 02074 and the land 0776 of Naphtali 05321, and afterward 0314 did more grievously afflict 03513 her by the way 01870 of the sea 03220, beyond 05676 Jordan 03383, in Galilee 01551 of the nations 01471. of the nations: or, populous
2 The people 05971 that walked 01980 in darkness 02822 have seen 07200 a great 01419 light 0216: they that dwell 03427 in the land 0776 of the shadow of death 06757, upon them hath the light 0216 shined 05050.
3 Thou hast multiplied 07235 the nation 01471, and to him increased 01431 the joy 08057: they rejoice 08055 before 06440 thee according to the joy 08057 in harvest 07105, and as men rejoice 01523 when they divide 02505 the spoil 07998. not: or, to him
4 For thou hast broken 02865 the yoke 05923 of his burden 05448, and the staff 04294 of his shoulder 07926, the rod 07626 of his oppressor 05065, as in the day 03117 of Midian 04080. For…: or, When thou brakest
5 For every battle 05430 of the warrior 05431 is with confused noise 07494, and garments 08071 rolled 01556 in blood 01818; but this shall be with burning 08316 and fuel 03980 of fire 0784. For…: or, When the whole battle of the warrior was, etcbut…: or, and it was, etcfuel: Heb. meat
6 For to us a child 03206 is born 03205, to us a son 01121 is given 05414: and the government 04951 shall be upon his shoulder 07926: and his name 08034 shall be called 07121 Wonderful 06382, Counsellor 03289, The mighty 01368 God 0410, The everlasting 05703 Father 01, The Prince 08269 of Peace 07965.
7 Of the increase 04766 of his government 04951 and peace 07965 there shall be no end 07093, upon the throne 03678 of David 01732, and upon his kingdom 04467, to order 03559 it, and to establish 05582 it with judgment 04941 and with justice 06666 from henceforth even for 05704 ever 05769. The zeal 07068 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 will perform 06213 this.
8 The Lord 0136 sent 07971 a word 01697 into Jacob 03290, and it hath lighted 05307 upon Israel 03478.
9 And all the people 05971 shall know 03045, even Ephraim 0669 and the inhabitant 03427 of Samaria 08111, that say 0559 in the pride 01346 and stoutness 01433 of heart 03824,
10 The bricks 03843 have fallen down 05307, but we will build 01129 with hewn stones 01496: the sycamores 08256 are cut down 01438, but we will change 02498 them into cedars 0730.
11 Therefore the LORD 03068 shall set up 07682 the adversaries 06862 of Rezin 07526 against him, and join 05526 his enemies 0341 together 05526; join: Heb. mingle
12 The Syrians 0758 before 06924, and the Philistines 06430 behind 0268; and they shall devour 0398 Israel 03478 with open mouth 06310. For all this his anger 0639 is not turned away 07725, but his hand 03027 is stretched out still 05186. open: Heb. whole
13 For the people 05971 turn 07725 not to him that smiteth 05221 them, neither do they seek 01875 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635.
14 Therefore the LORD 03068 will cut off 03772 from Israel 03478 head 07218 and tail 02180, branch 03712 and rush 0100, in one 0259 day 03117.
15 The ancient 02205 and honourable 06440, 5375, he 01931 is the head 07218; and the prophet 05030 that teacheth 03384 lies 08267, he is the tail 02180.
16 For the leaders 0833 of this people 05971 cause them to err 08582; and they that are led 0833 by them are destroyed 01104. the leaders: or, they that call them blessedled of: or, called blessed ofdestroyed: Heb. swallowed up
17 Therefore the Lord 0136 shall have no joy 08055 in their young men 0970, neither shall have mercy 07355 on their fatherless 03490 and widows 0490: for every one is an hypocrite 02611 and an evildoer 07489, and every mouth 06310 speaketh 01696 folly 05039. For all this his anger 0639 is not turned away 07725, but his hand 03027 is stretched out still 05186. folly: or, villany
18 For wickedness 07564 burneth 01197 as the fire 0784: it shall devour 0398 the briers 08068 and thorns 07898, and shall kindle 03341 in the thickets 05442 of the forest 03293, and they shall mount up 055 like the rising 01348 of smoke 06227.
19 Through the wrath 05678 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 is the land 0776 darkened 06272, and the people 05971 shall be as the fuel 03980 of the fire 0784: no man 0376 shall spare 02550 his brother 0251. fuel: Heb. meat
20 And he shall snatch 01504 on the right hand 03225, and be hungry 07457; and he shall eat 0398 on the left hand 08040, and they shall not be satisfied 07646: they shall eat 0398 every man 0376 the flesh 01320 of his own arm 02220: snatch: Heb cut
21 Manasseh 04519, Ephraim 0669; and Ephraim 0669, Manasseh 04519: and they together 03162 shall be against Judah 03063. For all this his anger 0639 is not turned away 07725, but his hand 03027 is stretched out still 05186.
1 Woe 01945 to them that decree 02710 unrighteous 0205 decrees 02711, and that write 03789 grievousness 05999 which they have prescribed 03789; that write…: or, to the writers that write grievousness
2 To turn aside 05186 the needy 01800 from judgment 01779, and to take away 01497 the right 04941 from the poor 06041 of my people 05971, that widows 0490 may be their prey 07998, and that they may rob 0962 the fatherless 03490!
3 And what will ye do 06213 in the day 03117 of punishment 06486, and in the desolation 07722 which shall come 0935 from far 04801? to whom will ye flee 05127 for help 05833? and where will ye leave 05800 your glory 03519?
4 Without me they shall 01115 bow down 03766 under the prisoners 0616, and they shall fall 05307 under the slain 02026. For all this his anger 0639 is not turned away 07725, but his hand 03027 is stretched out still 05186.
5 O 01945 Assyrian 0804, the rod 07626 of my anger 0639, and the staff 04294 in their hand 03027 is my indignation 02195. O…: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshurand: or, though
6 I will send 07971 him against an hypocritical 02611 nation 01471, and against the people 05971 of my wrath 05678 will I command him 06680, to take 07997 the spoil 07998, and to take 0962 the prey 0957, and to tread them down 07760, 4823 like the mire 02563 of the streets 02351. tread…: Heb. lay them a treading
7 Yet he meaneth 01819 not so, neither doth his heart 03824 think 02803 so; but it is in his heart 03824 to destroy 08045 and cut off 03772 nations 01471 not a few 04592.
8 For he saith 0559, Are not my princes 08269 altogether 03162 kings 04428?
9 Is not Calno 03641 as Carchemish 03751? is not Hamath 02574 as Arpad 0774? is not Samaria 08111 as Damascus 01834?
10 As my hand 03027 hath found 04672 the kingdoms 04467 of the idols 0457, and whose graven images 06456 excelled them of Jerusalem 03389 and of Samaria 08111;
11 Shall I not, as I have done 06213 to Samaria 08111 and her idols 0457, so do 06213 to Jerusalem 03389 and her idols 06091?
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord 0136 hath performed 01214 his whole work 04639 upon mount 02022 Zion 06726 and on Jerusalem 03389, I will punish 06485 the fruit 06529 of the stout 01433 heart 03824 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, and the glory 08597 of his high 07312 looks 05869. punish: Heb. visit uponstout…: Heb. greatness of the heart
13 For he saith 0559, By the strength 03581 of my hand 03027 I have done 06213 it, and by my wisdom 02451; for I am prudent 0995: and I have removed 05493 the bounds 01367 of the people 05971, and have robbed 08154 their treasures 06259, 6264, and I have put down 03381 the inhabitants 03427 like a valiant 047, 3524 man: a valiant…: or, many people
14 And my hand 03027 hath found 04672 as a nest 07064 the riches 02428 of the people 05971: and as one gathereth 0622 eggs 01000 that are left 05800, have I gathered 0622 all the earth 0776; and there was none that moved 05074 the wing 03671, or opened 06475 the mouth 06310, or peeped 06850.
15 Shall the axe 01631 boast 06286 itself against him that heweth 02672 with it? or shall the saw 04883 magnify 01431 itself against him that moveth 05130 it? as if the rod 07626 should shake 05130 itself against them that lift it 07311, or as if the staff 04294 should lift 07311 itself, as if it were no wood 06086. the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it upitself, as if…: or, that which is not wood

17 And the light 0216 of Israel 03478 shall be for a fire 0784, and his Holy One 06918 for a flame 03852: and it shall burn 01197 and devour 0398 his thorns 07898 and his briers 08068 in one 0259 day 03117;
18 And shall consume 03615 the glory 03519 of his forest 03293, and of his fruitful field 03759, both soul 05315 and body 01320: and they shall be as when a standardbearer 05263 fainteth 04549. both…: Heb. from the soul, and even to the flesh

20 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that the remnant 07605 of Israel 03478, and such as have escaped 06413 of the house 01004 of Jacob 03290, shall no more again 03254 lean 08172 upon him that smote 05221 them; but shall lean 08172 upon the LORD 03068, the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478, in truth 0571.
21 The remnant 07605 shall return 07725, even the remnant 07605 of Jacob 03290, to the mighty 01368 God 0410.
22 For though thy people 05971 Israel 03478 be as the sand 02344 of the sea 03220, yet a remnant 07605 of them shall return 07725: the full end 03631 decreed 02782 shall overflow 07857 with righteousness 06666. of them: Heb. in, or, among, etcwith: or, in

24 Therefore thus saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635, O my people 05971 that dwellest 03427 in Zion 06726, be not afraid 03372 of the Assyrian 0804: he shall smite 05221 thee with a rod 07626, and shall lift up 05375 his staff 04294 against thee, after the manner 01870 of Egypt 04714. and shall…: or, but he shall lift up his staff for
25 For yet a very 04213 little while 04592, and the indignation 02195 shall cease 03615, and my anger 0639 in their destruction 08399.
26 And the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 shall raise up 05782 a scourge 07752 for him according to the slaughter 04347 of Midian 04080 at the rock 06697 of Oreb 06159: and as his rod 04294 was upon the sea 03220, so shall he lift it up 05375 after the manner 01870 of Egypt 04714.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that his burden 05448 shall be taken away 05493 from off thy shoulder 07926, and his yoke 05923 from off thy neck 06677, and the yoke 05923 shall be destroyed 02254 because 06440 of the anointing 08081. be taken…: Heb. remove

33 Behold, the Lord 0113, the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, shall lop 05586 the bough 06288 with terror 04637: and the high ones 07311 of stature 06967 shall be hewn down 01438, and the haughty 01364 shall be humbled 08213.
34 And he shall cut down 05362 the thickets 05442 of the forests 03293 with iron 01270, and Lebanon 03844 shall fall 05307 by a mighty one 0117. by…: or, mightily

9 Therefore I will bewail 01058 with the weeping 01065 of Jazer 03270 the vine 01612 of Sibmah 07643: I will water 07301 thee with my tears 01832, O Heshbon 02809, and Elealeh 0500: for the shouting 01959 for thy summer fruits 07019 and for thy harvest 07105 is fallen 05307. the shouting…: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc
10 And gladness 08057 is taken away 0622, and joy 01524 from the plentiful field 03759; and in the vineyards 03754 there shall be no singing 07442, neither shall there be shouting 07321: the treaders 01869 shall tread out 01869 no wine 03196 in their presses 03342; I have made their vintage shouting 01959 to cease 07673.
11 Therefore my heart 04578 shall sound 01993 like an harp 03658 for Moab 04124, and my inward parts 07130 for Kirharesh 07025.
12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen 07200 that Moab 04124 is weary 03811 on the high place 01116, that he shall come 0935 to his sanctuary 04720 to pray 06419; but he shall not prevail 03201.
13 This is the word 01697 that the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 concerning Moab 04124 since that time 0227.
14 But now the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696, saying 0559, Within three 07969 years 08141, as the years 08141 of an hireling 07916, and the glory 03519 of Moab 04124 shall be despised 07034, with all that great 07227 multitude 01995; and the remnant 07605 shall be very 04592 small 04213 and feeble 03808, 3524. feeble: or, not many
1 The burden 04853 of Damascus 01834. Behold, Damascus 01834 is taken away 05493 from being a city 05892, and it shall be a ruinous 04654 heap 04596.
2 The cities 05892 of Aroer 06177 are forsaken 05800: they shall be for flocks 05739, which shall lie down 07257, and none shall make them afraid 02729.
3 The fortress 04013 also shall cease 07673 from Ephraim 0669, and the kingdom 04467 from Damascus 01834, and the remnant 07605 of Syria 0758: they shall be as the glory 03519 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478, saith 05002 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635.
4 And in that day 03117 it shall come to pass, that the glory 03519 of Jacob 03290 shall be diminished 01809, and the fatness 04924 of his flesh 01320 shall become lean 07329.
5 And it shall be as when the reaper 07105 gathereth 0622 the grain 07054, and reapeth 07114 the ears 07641 with his arm 02220; and it shall be as he that gathereth 03950 ears 07641 in the valley 06010 of Rephaim 07497.
6 Yet gleaning grapes 05955 shall be left 07604 in it, as the shaking 05363 of an olive tree 02132, two 08147 or three 07969 berries 01620 in the top 07218 of the uppermost bough 0534, four 0702 or five 02568 in the outmost fruitful 06509 branches 05585 of it, saith 05002 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478.
7 At that day 03117 shall a man 0120 look 08159 to his Maker 06213, and his eyes 05869 shall have respect 07200 to the Holy 06918 One of Israel 03478.
8 And he shall not look 08159 to the altars 04196, the work 04639 of his hands 03027, neither shall respect 07200 that which his fingers 0676 have made 06213, either the groves 0842, or the images 02553. images: or, sun images
9 In that day 03117 shall his strong 04581 cities 05892 be as a forsaken 05800 bough 02793, and an uppermost branch 0534, which they left 05800 because 06440 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478: and there shall be desolation 08077.
10 Because thou hast forgotten 07911 the God 0430 of thy salvation 03468, and hast not been mindful 02142 of the rock 06697 of thy strength 04581, therefore shalt thou plant 05193 pleasant 05282 plants 05194, and shalt set 02232 it with strange 02114 slips 02156:
11 In the day 03117 shalt thou make thy plant 05194 to grow 07735, and in the morning 01242 shalt thou make thy seed 02233 to flourish 06524: but the harvest 07105 shall be a heap 05067 in the day 03117 of grief 02470 and of desperate 0605 sorrow 03511. a heap…: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow

13 The nations 03816 shall rush 07582 like the rushing 07588 of many 07227 waters 04325: but God shall rebuke 01605 them, and they shall flee 05127 far off 04801, and shall be chased 07291 as the chaff 04671 of the mountains 02022 before 06440 the wind 07307, and like a rolling thing 01534 before 06440 the whirlwind 05492. a rolling…: or, thistledown

2 That sendeth 07971 ambassadors 06735 by the sea 03220, even in vessels 03627 of bulrushes 01573 upon 06440 the waters 04325, saying, Go 03212, ye swift 07031 messengers 04397, to a nation 01471 scattered 04900 and stripped 04178, to a people 05971 terrible 03372 from their beginning to this time 01973; a nation 01471 powerful 06978 and oppressive 04001, whose land 0776 the rivers 05104 have spoiled 0958! scattered…: or, outspread and polishedmeted…: or, that meteth out and treadeth down: Heb. of line, line, and treading under foothave…: or, despise

4 For so 03541 the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, I will take my rest 08252, and I will consider 05027 in my dwelling place 04349 like a clear 06703 heat 02527 upon herbs 0216, and like a cloud 05645 of dew 02919 in the heat 02527 of harvest 07105. consider…: or, regard my set dwellingupon…: or, after rain

6 They shall be left 05800 together 03162 to the fowls 05861 of the mountains 02022, and to the beasts 0929 of the earth 0776: and the fowls 05861 shall summer 06972 upon them, and all the beasts 0929 of the earth 0776 shall winter 02778 upon them.
7 In that time 06256 shall the present 07862 be brought 02986 to the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 of a people 05971 scattered 04900 and stripped 04178, and from a people 05971 terrible 03372 from their beginning to this time 01973; a nation 01471 powerful 06978 and oppressive 04001, whose land 0776 the rivers 05104 have spoiled 0958, to the place 04725 of the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the mount 02022 Zion 06726. scattered…: or, outspread and polished

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

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

16 In that day 03117 shall Egypt 04714 be like women 0802: and it shall be afraid 02729 and fear 06342 because 06440 of the shaking 08573 of the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, which he shaketh 05130 over it.
17 And the land 0127 of Judah 03063 shall be a terror 02283 to Egypt 04714, every one that maketh mention 02142 of it shall be afraid 06342 in himself, because 06440 of the counsel 06098 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, which he hath determined 03289 against it.
18 In that day 03117 shall five 02568 cities 05892 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 speak 01696 the language 08193 of Canaan 03667, and swear 07650 to the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; one 0259 shall be called 0559, The city 05892 of destruction 02041. the language: Heb. the lipof destruction: or, of Heres, or, of the sun

20 And it shall be for a sign 0226 and for a witness 05707 to the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714: for they shall cry 06817 to the LORD 03068 because 06440 of the oppressors 03905, and he shall send 07971 them a saviour 03467, and a great one 07227, and he shall deliver 05337 them.
21 And the LORD 03068 shall be known 03045 to Egypt 04714, and the Egyptians 04714 shall know 03045 the LORD 03068 in that day 03117, and shall offer 05647 sacrifice 02077 and oblation 04503; yea, they shall vow 05087 a vow 05088 to the LORD 03068, and perform 07999 it.

23 In that day 03117 shall there be a highway 04546 from Egypt 04714 to Assyria 0804, and the Assyrian 0804 shall come 0935 into Egypt 04714, and the Egyptian 04714 into Assyria 0804, and the Egyptians 04714 shall serve 05647 with the Assyrians 0804.
24 In that day 03117 shall Israel 03478 be the third 07992 with Egypt 04714 and with Assyria 0804, even a blessing 01293 in the midst 07130 of the land 0776:
25 Whom the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 shall bless 01288, saying 0559, Blessed 01288 be Egypt 04714 my people 05971, and Assyria 0804 the work 04639 of my hands 03027, and Israel 03478 my inheritance 05159.
1 In the year 08141 that Tartan 08661 came 0935 to Ashdod 0795, (when Sargon 05623 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 sent 07971 him,) and fought 03898 against Ashdod 0795, and took 03920 it;
2 At the same time 06256 spoke 01696 the LORD 03068 by 03027 Isaiah 03470 the son 01121 of Amoz 0531, saying 0559, Go 03212 and loose 06605 the sackcloth 08242 from off thy loins 04975, and put off 02502 thy shoe 05275 from thy foot 07272.

4 So shall the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 lead away 05090 the Egyptians 04714 prisoners 07628, and the Cushites 03568 captives 01546, young 05288 and old 02205, naked 06174 and barefoot 03182, even with their hind parts 08357 uncovered 02834, to the shame 06172 of Egypt 04714. the Egyptians…: Heb. the captivity of Egyptshame: Heb. nakedness

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

6 And Elam 05867 bore 05375 the quiver 0827 with chariots 07393 of men 0120 and horsemen 06571, and Kir 07024 uncovered 06168 the shield 04043. uncovered: Heb. made naked

9 Ye have seen 07200 also the breaches 01233 of the city 05892 of David 01732, that they are many 07231: and ye gathered together 06908 the waters 04325 of the lower 08481 pool 01295.
10 And ye have numbered 05608 the houses 01004 of Jerusalem 03389, and the houses 01004 have ye broken down 05422 to fortify 01219 the wall 02346.
11 Ye made 06213 also a ditch 04724 between the two walls 02346 for the water 04325 of the old 03465 pool 01295: but ye have not looked 05027 to its maker 06213, neither had respect 07200 to him that fashioned 03335 it long ago 07350.
12 And in that day 03117 did the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635 call 07121 to weeping 01065, and to mourning 04553, and to baldness 07144, and to girding 02296 with sackcloth 08242:

14 And it was revealed 01540 in my ears 0241 by the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, Surely this iniquity 05771 shall not be purged 03722 from you till ye die 04191, saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635.
15 Thus saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635, Go 03212, get 0935 to this treasurer 05532, even to Shebna 07644, who is over the house 01004, and say,

21 And I will clothe 03847 him with thy robe 03801, and strengthen 02388 him with thy belt 073, and I will commit 05414 thy government 04475 into his hand 03027: and he shall be a father 01 to the inhabitants 03427 of Jerusalem 03389, and to the house 01004 of Judah 03063.
22 And the key 04668 of the house 01004 of David 01732 will I lay 05414 upon his shoulder 07926; so he shall open 06605, and none shall shut 05462; and he shall shut 05462, and none shall open 06605.
23 And I will fasten 08628 him as a nail 03489 in a sure 0539 place 04725; and he shall be for a glorious 03519 throne 03678 to his father’s 01 house 01004.
24 And they shall hang 08518 upon him all the glory 03519 of his father’s 01 house 01004, the offspring 06631 and the issue 06849, all vessels 03627 of small 06996 quantity, from the vessels 03627 of cups 0101, even to all the vessels 03627 of flagons 05035. vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols

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

13 Behold the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778; this people 05971 was not, till the Assyrian 0804 founded 03245 it for them that dwell in the wilderness 06728: they set up 06965 its towers 0971, they raised up 06209 its palaces 0759; and he brought 07760 it to ruin 04654.
14 Wail 03213, ye ships 0591 of Tarshish 08659: for your strength 04581 is laid waste 07703.
15 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that Tyre 06865 shall be forgotten 07911 seventy 07657 years 08141, according to the days 03117 of one 0259 king 04428: after the end 07093 of seventy 07657 years 08141 shall Tyre 06865 sing 07892 as an harlot 02181. shall Tyre…: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot

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

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

18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth 05127 from the noise 06963 of the fear 06343 shall fall 05307 into the pit 06354; and he that cometh up 05927 out of the midst 08432 of the pit 06354 shall be taken 03920 in the snare 06341: for the windows 0699 from on high 04791 are open 06605, and the foundations 04146 of the earth 0776 do shake 07493.
19 The earth 0776 is utterly 07489 broken down 07489, the earth 0776 is all 06565 dissolved 06565, the earth 0776 is exceedingly 04131 moved 04131.
20 The earth 0776 shall reel 05128 to and fro 05128 like a drunkard 07910, and shall be removed 05110 like a cottage 04412; and the transgression 06588 of it shall be heavy 03513 upon it; and it shall fall 05307, and not rise 06965 again 03254.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that the LORD 03068 shall punish 06485 the host 06635 of the high ones 04791 that are on high 04791, and the kings 04428 of the earth 0127 upon the earth 0127. punish: Heb. visit upon

2 For thou hast made 07760 of a city 05892 an heap 01530; of a fortified 01219 city 07151 a ruin 04654: a palace 0759 of strangers 02114 to be no city 05892; it shall never 05769 be built 01129.
3 Therefore shall the strong 05794 people 05971 glorify 03513 thee, the city 07151 of the terrible 06184 nations 01471 shall fear 03372 thee.
4 For thou hast been a defence 04581 to the poor 01800, a defence 04581 to the needy 034 in his distress 06862, a refuge 04268 from the storm 02230, a shade 06738 from the heat 02721, when the blast 07307 of the terrible ones 06184 is as a storm 02230 against the wall 07023.
5 Thou shalt bring down 03665 the noise 07588 of strangers 02114, as the heat 02721 in a dry place 06724; even the heat 02721 with the shadow 06738 of a cloud 05645: the branch 02159 of the terrible ones 06184 shall be brought low 06030.
6 And on this mountain 02022 shall the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 make 06213 to all people 05971 a feast 04960 of rich things 08081, a feast 04960 of wines on the lees 08105, of rich things 08081 full of marrow 04229, of wines on the lees 08105 well refined 02212.
7 And he will destroy 01104 on this mountain 02022 the face 06440 of the covering 03875 cast over 03874 all people 05971, and the veil 04541 that is spread 05259 over all nations 01471. destroy: Heb. swallow upcast: Heb. covered

9 And it shall be said 0559 in that day 03117, Lo, this is our God 0430; we have waited 06960 for him, and he will save 03467 us: this is the LORD 03068; we have waited 06960 for him, we will be glad 01523 and rejoice 08055 in his salvation 03444.

4 Trust 0982 ye in the LORD 03068 for ever 05703: for in the LORD 03050 JEHOVAH 03068 is everlasting 05769 strength 06697: everlasting…: Heb. the rock of ages
5 For he bringeth down 07817 them that dwell 03427 on high 04791; the lofty 07682 city 07151, he layeth it low 08213; he layeth it low 08213, even to the ground 0776; he bringeth 05060 it even to the dust 06083.
6 The foot 07272 shall tread it down 07429, even the feet 07272 of the poor 06041, and the steps 06471 of the needy 01800.
7 The way 0734 of the just 06662 is uprightness 04339: thou, most upright 03477, dost weigh 06424 the path 04570 of the just 06662.
8 Yea, in the way 0734 of thy judgments 04941, O LORD 03068, have we waited 06960 for thee; the desire 08378 of our soul 05315 is to thy name 08034, and to the remembrance 02143 of thee.
9 With my soul 05315 have I desired 0183 thee in the night 03915; yea, with my spirit 07307 within 07130 me will I seek thee early 07836: for when thy judgments 04941 are in the earth 0776, the inhabitants 03427 of the world 08398 will learn 03925 righteousness 06664.
10 Let favour be shown 02603 to the wicked 07563, yet he will not 01077 learn 03925 righteousness 06664: in the land 0776 of uprightness 05229 he will deal unjustly 05765, and will not 01077 behold 07200 the majesty 01348 of the LORD 03068.
11 LORD 03068, when thy hand 03027 is lifted up 07311, they will not see 02372: but they shall see 02372, and be ashamed 0954 for their envy 07068 at the people 05971; yea, the fire 0784 of thy enemies 06862 shall devour 0398 them. at…: or, toward thy people
12 LORD 03068, thou wilt ordain 08239 peace 07965 for us: for thou also hast wrought 06466 all our works 04639 in us. in us: or, for us
13 O LORD 03068 our God 0430, other lords 0113 beside 02108 thee have had dominion 01166 over us: but by thee only will we make mention 02142 of thy name 08034.
14 They are dead 04191, they shall not live 02421; they are deceased 07496, they shall not rise 06965: therefore hast thou visited 06485 and destroyed 08045 them, and made all their memory 02143 to perish 06.
15 Thou hast increased 03254 the nation 01471, O LORD 03068, thou hast increased 03254 the nation 01471: thou art glorified 03513: thou hadst removed it far 07368 to all the ends 07099 of the earth 0776.
16 LORD 03068, in trouble 06862 have they visited 06485 thee, they poured out 06694 a prayer 03908 when thy chastening 04148 was upon them. prayer: Heb. secret speech
17 As 03644 a woman with child 02030, that draweth near 07126 the time of her delivery 03205, is in pain 02342, and crieth out 02199 in her pangs 02256; so have we been in thy sight 06440, O LORD 03068.
18 We have been with child 02029, we have been in pain 02342, we have as it were 03644 brought forth 03205 wind 07307; we have not wrought 06213 any deliverance 03444 on the earth 0776; neither 01077 have the inhabitants 03427 of the world 08398 fallen 05307.
19 Thy dead 04191 men shall live 02421, together with my dead body 05038 shall they arise 06965. Awake 06974 and sing 07442, ye that dwell 07931 in dust 06083: for thy dew 02919 is as the dew 02919 of herbs 0219, and the earth 0776 shall cast out 05307 the dead 07496.
20 Come 03212, my people 05971, enter 0935 thou into thy chambers 02315, and shut 05462 thy doors 01817 about thee: hide 02247 thyself as it were for a little 04592 moment 07281, until the indignation 02195 shall be past 05674.
21 For, behold, the LORD 03068 cometh out 03318 of his place 04725 to punish 06485 the inhabitants 03427 of the earth 0776 for their iniquity 05771: the earth 0776 also shall disclose 01540 her blood 01818, and shall no more cover 03680 her slain 02026. blood: Heb. bloods
1 In that day 03117 the LORD 03068 with his fierce 07186 and great 01419 and strong 02389 sword 02719 shall punish 06485 leviathan 03882 the piercing 01281 serpent 05175, even leviathan 03882 that crooked 06129 serpent 05175; and he shall slay 02026 the dragon 08577 that is in the sea 03220. piercing: or, crossing like a bar

4 Fury 02534 is not in me: who would set 05414 the briers 08068 and thorns 07898 against me in battle 04421? I would go 06585 through them, I would burn 06702 them together 03162. go…: or, march against
5 Or let him take hold 02388 of my strength 04581, that he may make 06213 peace 07965 with me; and he shall make 06213 peace 07965 with me.
6 He shall cause them that descend 0935 from Jacob 03290 to take root 08327: Israel 03478 shall blossom 06692 and bud 06524, and fill 04390 the face 06440 of the world 08398 with fruit 08570.
7 Hath he smitten 05221 him, as he smote 04347 those that smote 05221 him? or is he slain 02026 according to the slaughter 02027 of them that are slain 02026 by him? as…: Heb. according to the stroke of

9 By this 02063 therefore shall the iniquity 05771 of Jacob 03290 be purged 03722; and this is all the fruit 06529 to take away 05493 his sin 02403; when he maketh 07760 all the stones 068 of the altar 04196 as chalkstones 01615 that are beaten asunder 05310, the groves 0842 and images 02553 shall not stand up 06965. images: or, sun images
10 Yet the fortified 01219 city 05892 shall be desolate 0910, and the habitation 05116 forsaken 07971, and left 05800 like a wilderness 04057: there shall the calf 05695 feed 07462, and there shall he lie down 07257, and consume 03615 its branches 05585.
11 When its boughs 07105 are withered 03001, they shall be broken off 07665: the women 0802 come 0935, and set them on fire 0215: for it is a people 05971 of no understanding 0998: therefore he that made 06213 them will not have mercy 07355 on them, and he that formed 03335 them will show them no favour 02603.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that the LORD 03068 shall gather 02251 from the channel 07641 of the river 05104 to the stream 05158 of Egypt 04714, and ye shall be gathered 03950 one 0259 by one 0259, O ye children 01121 of Israel 03478.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day 03117, that the great 01419 trumpet 07782 shall be blown 08628, and they shall come 0935 who were ready to perish 06 in the land 0776 of Assyria 0804, and the outcasts 05080 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, and shall worship 07812 the LORD 03068 on the holy 06944 mount 02022 at Jerusalem 03389.
1 Woe 01945 to the crown 05850 of pride 01348, to the drunkards 07910 of Ephraim 0669, whose glorious 06643 beauty 08597 is a fading 05034 flower 06731, who are on the head 07218 of the rich 08081 valleys 01516 of them that are overcome 01986 with wine 03196! overcome: Heb. broken
2 Behold, the Lord 0136 hath a mighty 02389 and strong one 0533, who as a tempest 02230 of hail 01259 and a destroying 06986 storm 08178, as a flood 02230 of mighty 03524 waters 04325 overflowing 07857, shall cast down 03240 to the earth 0776 with the hand 03027.
3 The crown 05850 of pride 01348, the drunkards 07910 of Ephraim 0669, shall be trodden 07429 under feet 07272: under…: Heb. with feet
4 And the glorious 06643 beauty 08597, which is on the head 07218 of the rich 08081 valley 01516, shall be a fading 05034 flower 06733, and as the early fruit 01061 before the summer 07019; which when he that looketh 07200 upon it seeth 07200, while it is yet in his hand 03709 he eateth it up 01104. eateth: Heb. swalloweth
5 In that day 03117 shall the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 be for a crown 05850 of glory 06643, and for a diadem 06843 of beauty 08597, to the remnant 07605 of his people 05971,
6 And for a spirit 07307 of judgment 04941 to him that sitteth 03427 in judgment 04941, and for strength 01369 to them that turn 07725 the battle 04421 to the gate 08179.
7 But they 0428 also have erred 07686 through wine 03196, and through strong drink 07941 are out of the way 08582; the priest 03548 and the prophet 05030 have erred 07686 through strong drink 07941, they are overwhelmed 01104 with 04480 wine 03196, they are out of the way 08582 through strong drink 07941; they err 07686 in vision 07203, they stumble 06328 in judgment 06417.
8 For all tables 07979 are full 04390 of vomit 06892 and filthiness 06675, so that there is no place 04725 clean.
9 Whom shall he teach 03384 knowledge 01844? and whom shall he make to understand 0995 doctrine 08052? them that are weaned 01580 from the milk 02461, and drawn 06267 from the breasts 07699. doctrine: Heb. the hearing?
10 For precept 06673 must be upon precept 06673, precept 06673 upon precept 06673; line 06957 upon line 06957, line 06957 upon line 06957; here a little 02191, and there a little 02191: must be: or, hath been

12 To whom he said 0559, This is the rest 04496 which ye may cause the weary 05889 to rest 05117; and this is the refreshing 04774: yet they would 014 not hear 08085.
13 But the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 was to them precept 06673 upon precept 06673, precept 06673 upon precept 06673; line 06957 upon line 06957, line 06957 upon line 06957; here a little 02191, and there a little 02191; that they might go 03212, and fall 03782 backward 0268, and be broken 07665, and snared 03369, and taken 03920.
14 Therefore hear 08085 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, ye scornful 03944 men 0582, that rule 04910 this people 05971 who are in Jerusalem 03389.
15 Because ye have said 0559, We have made 03772 a covenant 01285 with death 04194, and with hell 07585 are we 06213 in agreement 02374; when the overflowing 07857 scourge 07752, 7885 shall pass through 05674, it shall not reach 0935 us: for we have made 07760 lies 03577 our refuge 04268, and under falsehood 08267 have we hid 05641 ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069, Behold, I lay 03245 in Zion 06726 for a foundation a stone 068, a tried 0976 stone 068, a precious 03368 corner 06438 stone, a sure 03245 foundation 04143: he that believeth 0539 shall not make haste 02363.
17 Judgment 04941 also will I lay 07760 to the line 06957, and righteousness 06666 to the plummet 04949: and the hail 01259 shall sweep away 03261 the refuge 04268 of lies 03577, and the waters 04325 shall overflow 07857 the hiding place 05643.
18 And your covenant 01285 with death 04194 shall be broken 03722, and your agreement 02380 with hell 07585 shall not stand 06965; when the overflowing 07857 scourge 07752 shall pass through 05674, then ye shall be trodden down 04823 by it. trodden…: Heb. a treading down to it
19 From the time 01767 that it goeth forth 05674 it shall take 03947 you: for morning 01242 by morning 01242 shall it pass over 05674, by day 03117 and by night 03915: and it shall be a vexation 02113 only to understand 0995 the report 08052. to…: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine
20 For the bed 04702 is shorter 07114 than that a man can stretch 08311 himself on it: and the covering 04541 narrower 06887 than that he can wrap 03664 himself in it.
21 For the LORD 03068 shall rise 06965 as on mount 02022 Perazim 06559, he shall be angry 07264 as in the valley 06010 of Gibeon 01391, that he may do 06213 his work 04639, his strange 02114 work 04639; and bring to pass 05647 his act 05656, his strange 05237 act 05656.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers 03887, lest your bands 04147 be made strong 02388: for I have heard 08085 from the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635 a destruction 03617, even determined 02782 upon the whole earth 0776.
23 Give ye ear 0238, and hear 08085 my voice 06963; hearken 07181, and hear 08085 my speech 0565.
24 Doth the plowman 02790 plow 02790 all day 03117 to sow 02232? doth he open 06605 and break the clods 07702 of his ground 0127?
25 When he hath made even 07737 the face 06440 of it, doth he not cast abroad 06327 the black cummin 07100, and scatter 02236 the cummin 03646, and cast 07760 in the wheat 02406 in rows 07795 and the appointed 05567 barley 08184 and the rye 03698 in their place 01367? the principal…: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed placerie: or, speltplace: Heb. border?
26 For his God 0430 doth instruct 03256 him to discretion 04941, and doth teach 03384 him. For…: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him
27 For the black cummin 07100 are not threshed 01758 with a threshing instrument 02742, neither is a cart 05699 wheel 0212 turned about 05437 upon the cummin 03646; but the black cummin 07100 are beaten out 02251 with a staff 04294, and the cummin 03646 with a rod 07626.
28 Bread 03899 grain is ground 01854; because he will not always 05331 be threshing 0156, 1758 it, nor break 02000 it with the wheel 01536 of his cart 05699, nor grind 01854 it with his horsemen 06571.
29 This also cometh forth 03318 from the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, who is wonderful 06381 in counsel 06098, and excellent 01431 in wisdom 08454.
1 Woe 01945 to Ariel 0740, to Ariel 0740, the city 07151 where David 01732 dwelt 02583! add 05595 ye year 08141 to year 08141; let them kill 05362 sacrifices 02282. Woe…: or, O Ariel, that is, the lion of Godthe city: or, of the citykill: Heb. cut off the heads of
2 Yet I will distress 06693 Ariel 0740, and there shall be heaviness 08386 and sorrow 0592: and it shall be to me as Ariel 0740.
3 And I will encamp 02583 against thee all around 01754, and will lay siege 06696 against thee with a mound 04674, and I will raise 06965 forts 04694 against thee.
4 And thou shalt be brought down 08213, and shalt speak 01696 out of the ground 0776, and thy speech 0565 shall be low 07817 out of the dust 06083, and thy voice 06963 shall be, like a medium 0178, out of the ground 0776, and thy speech 0565 shall whisper 06850 out of the dust 06083. whisper: Heb. peep, or, chirp
5 Moreover the multitude 01995 of thy strangers 02114 shall be like small 01851 dust 080, and the multitude 01995 of the terrible ones 06184 shall be as chaff 04671 that passeth away 05674: yea, it shall be at an instant 06621 suddenly 06597.
6 Thou shalt be visited 06485 by the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 with thunder 07482, and with earthquake 07494, and great 01419 noise 06963, with storm 05492 and tempest 05591, and the flame 03851 of devouring 0398 fire 0784.
7 And the multitude 01995 of all the nations 01471 that fight 06633 against Ariel 0740, even all that fight 06638 against her and her strong hold 04685, and that distress 06693 her, shall be as a dream 02472 of a night 03915 vision 02377.
8 It shall even be as when an hungry 07457 man dreameth 02492, and, behold, he eateth 0398; but he awaketh 06974, and his soul 05315 is empty 07386: or as when 0834 a thirsty man 06771 dreameth 02492, and, behold, he drinketh 08354; but he awaketh 06974, and, behold, he is faint 05889, and his soul 05315 hath appetite 08264: so shall the multitude 01995 of all the nations 01471 be, that fight 06633 against mount 02022 Zion 06726.
9 Stay 04102 yourselves, and wonder 08539; cry ye out 08173, and cry 08173: they are drunk 07937, but not with wine 03196; they stagger 05128, but not with strong drink 07941. cry ye…: or, take your pleasure, and riot
10 For the LORD 03068 hath poured out 05258 upon you the spirit 07307 of deep sleep 08639, and hath closed 06105 your eyes 05869: the prophets 05030 and your rulers 07218, the seers 02374 hath he covered 03680. rulers: Heb. heads
11 And the vision 02380 of all is become to you as the words 01697 of a book 05612 that is sealed 02856, which men deliver 05414 to one that is learned 03045, saying 0559, Read 07121 this, I pray thee: and he saith 0559, I cannot 03201; for it is sealed 02856: book: or, letter
12 And the book 05612 is delivered 05414 to him that is not learned 03045, 5612, saying 0559, Read 07121 this, I pray thee: and he saith 0559, I am not learned 03045.
13 Therefore the Lord 0136 said 0559, Forasmuch 03282 as this people 05971 draw near 05066 me with their mouth 06310, and with their lips 08193 do honour 03513 me, but have removed 07368 their heart 03820 far 07368 from me, and their fear 03374 toward me is taught 03925 by the precept 04687 of men 0582:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed 03254 to do a marvellous work 06381 among this people 05971, even a marvellous work 06381 and a wonder 06382: for the wisdom 02451 of their wise 02450 men shall perish 06, and the understanding 0998 of their prudent 0995 men shall be hid 05641. proceed: Heb. add
15 Woe 01945 to them that seek deep 06009 to hide 05641 their counsel 06098 from the LORD 03068, and their works 04639 are in the dark 04285, and they say 0559, Who seeth 07200 us? and who knoweth 03045 us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down 02017 shall be esteemed 02803 as the potter’s 03335 clay 02563: for shall the work 04639 say 0559 of him that made 06213 it, He made 06213 me not? or shall the thing formed 03336 say 0559 of him that formed 03335 it, He had no understanding 0995?
17 Is it not yet a very 04213 little while 04592, and Lebanon 03844 shall be turned 07725 into a fruitful field 03759, and the fruitful field 03759 shall be esteemed 02803 as a forest 03293?
18 And in that day 03117 shall the deaf 02795 hear 08085 the words 01697 of the book 05612, and the eyes 05869 of the blind 05787 shall see 07200 out of obscurity 0652, and out of darkness 02822.
19 The meek 06035 also shall increase 03254 their joy 08057 in the LORD 03068, and the poor 034 among men 0120 shall rejoice 01523 in the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478. increase: Heb. add
20 For the terrible one 06184 is brought to nought 0656, and the mocker 03887 is consumed 03615, and all that watch 08245 for iniquity 0205 are cut off 03772:
21 That make a man 0120 an offender 02398 for a word 01697, and lay a snare 06983 for him that reproveth 03198 in the gate 08179, and turn aside 05186 the just 06662 for a thing of nought 08414.
22 Therefore thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, who redeemed 06299 Abraham 085, concerning the house 01004 of Jacob 03290, Jacob 03290 shall not now be ashamed 0954, neither shall his face 06440 now become pale 02357.
23 But when he seeth 07200 his children 03206, the work 04639 of my hands 03027, in the midst 07130 of him, they shall sanctify 06942 my name 08034, and sanctify 06942 the Holy One 06918 of Jacob 03290, and shall fear 06206 the God 0430 of Israel 03478.
24 They also that erred 08582 in spirit 07307 shall come 03045 to understanding 0998, and they that murmured 07279 shall learn 03925 doctrine 03948. come…: Heb. know understanding
1 Woe 01945 to the rebellious 05637 children 01121, saith 05002 the LORD 03068, that take 06213 counsel 06098, but not from me; and that cover 05258 with a covering 04541, but not of my spirit 07307, that they may add 05595 sin 02403 to sin 02403:
2 That walk 01980 to go down 03381 into Egypt 04714, and have not asked 07592 at my mouth 06310; to strengthen 05810 themselves in the strength 04581 of Pharaoh 06547, and to trust 02620 in the shadow 06738 of Egypt 04714!
3 Therefore shall the strength 04581 of Pharaoh 06547 be your shame 01322, and the trust 02622 in the shadow 06738 of Egypt 04714 your confusion 03639.
4 For his princes 08269 were at Zoan 06814, and his ambassadors 04397 came 05060 to Hanes 02609.
5 They were all ashamed 03001 of a people 05971 that could not profit 03276 them, nor be an help 05828 nor profit 03276, but a shame 01322, and also a reproach 02781.

7 For the Egyptians 04714 shall help 05826 in vain 01892, and to no purpose 07385: therefore have I cried 07121 concerning this 02063, Their 01992 strength 07293 is to sit still 07674. concerning…: or, to her

10 Who say 0559 to the seers 07200, See 07200 not; and to the prophets 02374, Prophesy 02372 not to us right things 05229, speak 01696 to us smooth things 02513, prophesy 02372 deceits 04123:
11 Withdraw from 05493 the way 01870, turn aside 05186 from the path 0734, cause the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478 to cease 07673 from before 06440 us.
12 Therefore thus saith 0559 the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478, Because ye despise 03988 this word 01697, and trust 0982 in oppression 06233 and perverseness 03868, and relied 08172 on them: oppression: or, fraud
13 Therefore this iniquity 05771 shall be to you as a breach 06556 ready to fall 05307, swelling out 01158 in a high 07682 wall 02346, whose breaking 07667 cometh 0935 suddenly 06597 at an instant 06621.
14 And he shall break 07665 it as the breaking 07667 of the potter’s 03335 vessel 05035 that is broken in pieces 03807; he shall not spare 02550: so that there shall not be found 04672 in the bursting 04386 of it a piece 02789 to take 02846 fire 0784 from the hearth 03344, or to take 02834 water 04325 out of the pit 01360. the potters’…: Heb. the bottle of potters
15 For thus saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069, the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478; In returning 07729 and rest 05183 shall ye be saved 03467; in quietness 08252 and in confidence 0985 shall be your strength 01369: and ye would 014 not.
16 But ye said 0559, No; for we will flee 05127 upon horses 05483; therefore shall ye flee 05127: and, We will ride 07392 upon the swift 07031; therefore shall they that pursue 07291 you be swift 07043.
17 One 0259 thousand 0505 shall flee at 06440 the rebuke 01606 of one 0259; at 06440 the rebuke 01606 of five 02568 shall ye flee 05127: till ye be left 03498 as a beacon 08650 upon the top 07218 of a mountain 02022, and as an ensign 05251 on an hill 01389. a beacon: or, a tree bereft of branches, or, boughs: or, a mast
18 And therefore will the LORD 03068 wait 02442, that he may be gracious 02603 to you, and therefore will he be exalted 07311, that he may have mercy 07355 upon you: for the LORD 03068 is a God 0430 of judgment 04941: blessed 0835 are all they that wait 02442 for him.
19 For the people 05971 shall dwell 03427 in Zion 06726 at Jerusalem 03389: thou shalt weep 01058 no more 01058: he will be very 02603 gracious 02603 to thee at the voice 06963 of thy cry 02199; when he shall hear 08085 it, he will answer 06030 thee.
20 And though the Lord 0136 shall give 05414 you the bread 03899 of adversity 06862, and the water 04325 of affliction 03906, yet shall not thy teachers 03384 be removed into a corner 03670 any more, but thy eyes 05869 shall see 07200 thy teachers 03384: affliction: or, oppression
21 And thy ears 0241 shall hear 08085 a word 01697 behind 0310 thee, saying 0559, This is the way 01870, walk ye in it 03212, when ye turn to the right hand 0541, and when ye turn to the left 08041.
22 Ye shall defile 02930 also the covering 06826 of thy graven images 06456 of silver 03701, and the ornament 0642 of thy molten images 04541 of gold 02091: thou shalt cast them away 02219 as a polluted cloth 01739; thou shalt say 0559 to it, Be gone from me 03318. thy graven…: Heb. the graven images of thy silvercast: Heb. scatter
23 Then shall he give 05414 the rain 04306 of thy seed 02233, with which thou shalt sow 02232 the ground 0127; and bread 03899 of the increase 08393 of the earth 0127, and it shall be fat 01879 and plenteous 08082: in that day 03117 shall thy cattle 04735 feed 07462 in large 07337 pastures 03733.
24 The oxen 0504 likewise and the young donkeys 05895 that plow 05647 the ground 0127 shall eat 0398 cured 02548 fodder 01098, which hath been winnowed 02219 with the shovel 07371 and with the fan 04214. clean: or, savoury: Heb. leavened

26 Moreover the light 0216 of the moon 03842 shall be as the light 0216 of the sun 02535, and the light 0216 of the sun 02535 shall be sevenfold 07659, as the light 0216 of seven 07651 days 03117, in the day 03117 that the LORD 03068 bindeth up 02280 the breach 07667 of his people 05971, and healeth 07495 the stroke 04273 of their wound 04347.
27 Behold, the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 cometh 0935 from far 04801, burning 01197 with his anger 0639, and the burden 04858 of it is heavy 03514: his lips 08193 are full 04390 of indignation 02195, and his tongue 03956 as a devouring 0398 fire 0784: burden…: or, grievousness of flameheavy: Heb. heaviness
28 And his breath 07307, as an overflowing 07857 stream 05158, shall reach to the midst 02673 of the neck 06677, to sift 05130 the nations 01471 with the sieve 05299 of vanity 07723: and there shall be a bridle 07448 in the jaws 03895 of the people 05971, causing them to err 08582.
29 Ye shall have a song 07892, as in the night 03915 when a holy 06942 solemnity 02282 is kept 06942; and gladness 08057 of heart 03824, as when one goeth 01980 with a pipe 02485 to come 0935 upon the mountain 02022 of the LORD 03068, to the mighty One 06697 of Israel 03478. mighty…: Heb. Rock
30 And the LORD 03068 shall cause his glorious 01935 voice 06963 to be heard 08085, and shall show 07200 the lighting down 05183 of his arm 02220, with the indignation 02197 of his anger 0639, and with the flame 03851 of a devouring 0398 fire 0784, with scattering 05311, and tempest 02230, and hailstones 068, 1259. his glorious…: Heb. the glory of his voice

32 And in every place 03605 where the grounded 04145 staff 04294 shall pass 04569, which the LORD 03068 shall lay 05117 upon him, it shall be with tabrets 08596 and harps 03658: and in battles 04421 of shaking 08573 will he fight 03898 with it. in every…: Heb. every passing of the rod foundedlay…: Heb. cause to rest uponwith it: or, against them
33 For Tophet 08613 is ordained 06186 of old 0865; yea, for the king 04428 it is prepared 03559; he hath made it deep 06009 and large 07337: the pile 04071 of it is fire 0784 and much 07235 wood 06086; the breath 05397 of the LORD 03068, like a stream 05158 of brimstone 01614, doth kindle 01197 it. of old: Heb. from yesterday
1 Woe 01945 to them that go down 03381 to Egypt 04714 for help 05833; and rely 08172 on horses 05483, and trust 0982 in chariots 07393, because they are many 07227; and in horsemen 06571, because they are very 03966 strong 06105; but they look 08159 not to the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478, neither seek 01875 the LORD 03068!
2 Yet he also is wise 02450, and will bring 0935 evil 07451, and will not call back 05493 his words 01697: but will arise 06965 against the house 01004 of the evildoers 07489, and against the help 05833 of them that work 06466 iniquity 0205. call…: Heb. remove
3 Now the Egyptians 04714 are men 0120, and not God 0410; and their horses 05483 flesh 01320, and not spirit 07307. When the LORD 03068 shall stretch out 05186 his hand 03027, both he that helpeth 05826 shall fall 03782, and he that is helped 05826 shall fall down 05307, and they all shall fail 03615 together 03162.
4 For thus hath the LORD 03068 spoken 0559 to me, As the lion 0738 and the young lion 03715 roaring 01897 on his prey 02964, when a multitude 04393 of shepherds 07462 is called forth 07121 against him, he will not be afraid 02865 of their voice 06963, nor abase 06031 himself for the noise 01995 of them: so shall the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 come down 03381 to fight 06633 for mount 02022 Zion 06726, and for its hill 01389. noise: or, multitude
5 As birds 06833 flying 05774, so will the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 defend 01598 Jerusalem 03389; defending 01598 also he will deliver 05337 it; and passing over 06452 he will preserve 04422 it.
6 Turn 07725 ye to him from whom the children 01121 of Israel 03478 have deeply 06009 revolted 05627.
7 For in that day 03117 every man 0376 shall cast away 03988 his idols 0457 of silver 03701, and his idols 0457 of gold 02091, which your own hands 03027 have made 06213 to you for a sin 02399. his idols of gold: Heb. the idols of his gold
8 Then shall the Assyrian 0804 fall 05307 with the sword 02719, not of a mighty man 0376; and the sword 02719, not of a mean man 0120, shall devour 0398 him: but he shall flee 05127 from 06440 the sword 02719, and his young men 0970 shall become forced labourers 04522. from: or, for fear ofdiscomfited: or, tributary: Heb. for melting, or, tribute

2 And a man 0376 shall be as an hiding place 04224 from the wind 07307, and a covert 05643 from the tempest 02230; as streams 06388 of water 04325 in a dry place 06724, as the shadow 06738 of a great 03515 rock 05553 in a weary 05889 land 0776. great: Heb. heavy
3 And the eyes 05869 of them that see 07200 shall not be dim 08159, and the ears 0241 of them that hear 08085 shall hearken 07181.
4 The heart 03824 also of the rash 04116 shall understand 0995 knowledge 01847, and the tongue 03956 of the stammerers 05926 shall be ready 04116 to speak 01696 plainly 06703. rash: Heb. hastyplainly: or, elegantly
5 The vile person 05036 shall be no more called 07121 noble 05081, nor the churl 03596 said 0559 to be bountiful 07771.
6 For the vile person 05036 will speak 01696 villany 05039, and his heart 03820 will work 06213 iniquity 0205, to practise 06213 hypocrisy 02612, and to utter 01696 error 08442 against the LORD 03068, to make empty 07324 the soul 05315 of the hungry 07457, and he will cause the drink 04945 of the thirsty 06771 to fail 02637.
7 The instruments 03627 also of the churl 03596 are evil 07451: he deviseth 03289 wicked devices 02154 to destroy 02254 the poor 06041, 6035 with lying 08267 words 0561, even when the needy 034 speaketh 01696 right 04941. the needy…: or, he speaketh against the poor in judgment

10 Many days 03117 and years 08141 shall ye be troubled 07264, ye careless women 0982: for the vintage 01210 shall fail 03615, the gathering 0625 shall not come 0935. Many…: Heb. Days above a year
11 Tremble 02729, ye women that are at ease 07600; be troubled 07264, ye careless ones 0982: strip 06584 ye, and make you bare 06209, and gird 02290 sackcloth upon your loins 02504.

16 Then judgment 04941 shall dwell 07931 in the wilderness 04057, and righteousness 06666 remain 03427 in the fruitful field 03759.
17 And the work 04639 of righteousness 06666 shall be peace 07965; and the effect 05656 of righteousness 06666 quietness 08252 and assurance 0983 for 05704 ever 05769.
18 And my people 05971 shall dwell 03427 in a peaceable 07965 habitation 05116, and in sure 04009 dwellings 04908, and in quiet 07600 resting places 04496;

2 O LORD 03068, be gracious 02603 to us; we have waited 06960 for thee: be thou their arm 02220 every morning 01242, our salvation 03444 also in the time 06256 of trouble 06869.
3 At the noise 06963 of the tumult 01995 the people 05971 fled 05074; at the lifting up 07427 of thyself the nations 01471 were scattered 05310.
4 And your spoil 07998 shall be gathered 0622 like the gathering 0625 of the caterpiller 02625: as the running to and fro 04944 of locusts 01357 shall he run 08264 upon them.
5 The LORD 03068 is exalted 07682; for he dwelleth 07931 on high 04791: he hath filled 04390 Zion 06726 with judgment 04941 and righteousness 06666.
6 And wisdom 02451 and knowledge 01847 shall be the stability 0530 of thy times 06256, and strength 02633 of salvation 03444: the fear 03374 of the LORD 03068 is his treasure 0214. salvation: Heb. salvations

8 The highways 04546 lie waste 08074, the wayfaring man 05674, 734 ceaseth 07673: he hath broken 06565 the covenant 01285, he hath despised 03988 the cities 05892, he regardeth 02803 no man 0582.
9 The earth 0776 mourneth 056 and languisheth 0535: Lebanon 03844 is ashamed 02659 and hewn down 07060: Sharon 08289 is like a wilderness 06160; and Bashan 01316 and Carmel 03760 shake off 05287 their fruits. hewn…: or, withered away
10 Now will I rise 06965, saith 0559 the LORD 03068; now will I be exalted 07426; now will I lift up 05375 myself.

12 And the people 05971 shall be as the burnings 04955 of lime 07875: as thorns 06975 cut up 03683 shall they be burned 03341 in the fire 0784.
13 Ye that are far off 07350, hear 08085 what I have done 06213; and, ye that are near 07138, acknowledge 03045 my might 01369.
14 The sinners 02400 in Zion 06726 are afraid 06342; fearfulness 07461 hath surprised 0270 the hypocrites 02611. Who among us shall dwell 01481 with the devouring 0398 fire 0784? who among us shall dwell 01481 with everlasting 05769 burnings 04168?
15 He that walketh 01980 righteously 06666, and speaketh 01696 uprightly 04339; he that despiseth 03988 the gain 01215 of oppressions 04642, that keepeth 05287 his hands 03709 from accepting 08551 of bribes 07810, that stoppeth 0331 his ears 0241 from hearing 08085 of blood 01818, and shutteth 06105 his eyes 05869 from seeing 07200 evil 07451; righteously: Heb. in righteousnessesuprightly: Heb. uprightnessesoppressions: or, deceitsblood: Heb. bloods

17 Thy eyes 05869 shall see 02372 the king 04428 in his beauty 03308: they shall behold 07200 the land 0776 that is very far off 04801. that…: Heb. of far distances

20 Look 02372 upon Zion 06726, the city 07151 of our solemnities 04150: thy eyes 05869 shall see 07200 Jerusalem 03389 a quiet 07600 habitation 05116, a tabernacle 0168 that shall not be taken down 06813; not one of its stakes 03489 shall ever 05331 be removed 05265, neither shall any of its cords 02256 be broken 05423.
21 But there the glorious 0117 LORD 03068 will be to us a place 04725 of broad 07342, 3027 rivers 05104 and streams 02975; in which shall go 03212 no 01077 galley 0590 with oars 07885, neither shall gallant 0117 ship 06716 pass 05674 through it. of…: Heb. broad of spaces, or, hands

23 Thy tacklings 02256 are loosed 05203; they could not well 03653 strengthen 02388 their mast 08650, they could not spread 06566 the sail 05251: then is the prey 05706 of a great 04766 spoil 07998 divided 02505; the lame 06455 take 0962 the prey 0957. Thy…: or, They have forsaken thy tacklings
24 And the inhabitants 07934 shall not say 0559, I am sick 02470: the people 05971 that dwell 03427 in it shall be forgiven 05375 their iniquity 05771.
1 Come near 07126, ye nations 01471, to hear 08085; and hearken 07181, ye people 03816: let the earth 0776 hear 08085, and all that is in it 04393; the world 08398, and all things that spring from 06631 it. all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof
2 For the indignation 07110 of the LORD 03068 is upon all nations 01471, and his fury 02534 upon all their armies 06635: he hath utterly destroyed 02763 them, he hath delivered 05414 them to the slaughter 02874.

4 And all the host 06635 of heaven 08064 shall be dissolved 04743, and the heavens 08064 shall be rolled together 01556 as a scroll 05612: and all their hosts 06635 shall fall down 05034, as the leaf 05929 falleth 05034 from the vine 01612, and as a falling 05034 fig from the fig tree 08384.
5 For my sword 02719 shall be bathed 07301 in heaven 08064: behold, it shall come down 03381 upon Edom 0123, and upon the people 05971 of my curse 02764, to judgment 04941.
6 The sword 02719 of the LORD 03068 is filled 04390 with blood 01818, it is made fat 01878 with fatness 02459, and with the blood 01818 of lambs 03733 and goats 06260, with the fat 02459 of the kidneys 03629 of rams 0352: for the LORD 03068 hath a sacrifice 02077 in Bozrah 01224, and a great 01419 slaughter 02874 in the land 0776 of Edom 0123.
7 And the unicorns 07214 shall come down 03381 with them, and the young bulls 06499 with the bulls 047; and their land 0776 shall be soaked 07301 with blood 01818, and their dust 06083 made fat 01878 with fatness 02459. unicorns: or, rhinocerotssoaked: or, drunken
8 For it is the day 03117 of the LORD’S 03068 vengeance 05359, and the year 08141 of recompences 07966 for the controversy 07379 of Zion 06726.
9 And its streams 05158 shall be turned 02015 into pitch 02203, and its dust 06083 into brimstone 01614, and its land 0776 shall become burning 01197 pitch 02203.
10 It shall not be quenched 03518 night 03915 nor day 03119; the smoke 06227 of it shall ascend 05927 for ever 05769: from generation 01755 to generation 01755 it shall lie waste 02717; none shall pass through 05674 it for ever 05331 and ever 05331.
11 But the cormorant 06893 and the bittern 07090 shall possess 03423 it; the owl 03244 also and the raven 06158 shall dwell 07931 in it: and he shall stretch out 05186 upon it the line 06957 of confusion 08414, and the stones 068 of emptiness 0922. cormorant: or, pelican

15 There shall the great owl 07091 make her nest 07077, and lay 04422, and hatch 01234, and gather 01716 under her shadow 06738: there shall the vultures 01772 also be gathered 06908, every one 0802 with her mate 07468.
16 Seek ye out 01875 of the book 05612 of the LORD 03068, and read 07121: no one 0259 of these 02007 shall fail 05737, none 0802 shall lack 06485 her mate 07468: for my mouth 06310 it hath commanded 06680, and his spirit 07307 it hath gathered 06908 them.
17 And he hath cast 05307 the lot 01486 for them, and his hand 03027 hath divided 02505 it to them by line 06957: they shall possess 03423 it for 05704 ever 05769, from generation 01755 to generation 01755 shall they dwell 07931 in it.
1 The wilderness 04057 and the solitary place 06723 shall be glad 07797 for them; and the desert 06160 shall rejoice 01523, and blossom 06524 as the rose 02261.
2 It shall blossom 06524 abundantly 06524, and rejoice 01523 even with joy 01525 and singing 07444: the glory 03519 of Lebanon 03844 shall be given 05414 to it, the excellency 01926 of Carmel 03760 and Sharon 08289, they shall see 07200 the glory 03519 of the LORD 03068, and the excellency 01926 of our God 0430.
3 Strengthen 02388 ye the weak 07504 hands 03027, and confirm 0553 the feeble 03782 knees 01290.
4 Say 0559 to them that are of a fearful 04116 heart 03820, Be strong 02388, fear 03372 not: behold, your God 0430 will come 0935 with vengeance 05359, even God 0430 with a recompence 01576; he will come 0935 and save 03467 you. fearful: Heb. hasty
5 Then the eyes 05869 of the blind 05787 shall be opened 06491, and the ears 0241 of the deaf 02795 shall be unstopped 06605.
6 Then shall the lame 06455 man leap 01801 as an hart 0354, and the tongue 03956 of the dumb 0483 shall sing 07442: for in the wilderness 04057 shall waters 04325 break out 01234, and streams 05158 in the desert 06160.
7 And the parched ground 08273 shall become a pool 098, and the thirsty land 06774 springs 04002 of water 04325: in the habitation 05116 of dragons 08577, where each lay 07258, shall be grass 02682 with reeds 07070 and rushes 01573. grass…: or, a court for reeds, etc
8 And an highway 04547 shall be there, and a way 01870, and it shall be called 07121 The way 01870 of holiness 06944; the unclean 02931 shall not pass over 05674 it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men 01980, though fools 0191, shall not err 08582 in it. but…: or, for he shall be with them

1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth 0702, 6240 year 08141 of king 04428 Hezekiah 02396, that Sennacherib 05576 king 04428 of Assyria 0804 came up 05927 against all the fortified 01219 cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and took 08610 them.
2 And the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 sent 07971 Rabshakeh 07262 from Lachish 03923 to Jerusalem 03389 against king 04428 Hezekiah 02396 with a great 03515 army 02426. And he stood 05975 by the conduit 08585 of the upper 05945 pool 01295 in the highway 04546 of the fuller’s 03526 field 07704.
3 Then came forth 03318 to him Eliakim 0471, Hilkiah’s 02518 son 01121, who was over the house 01004, and Shebna 07644 the scribe 05608, and Joah 03098, Asaph’s 0623 son 01121, the recorder 02142. scribe: or, secretary
4 And Rabshakeh 07262 said 0559 to them, Say 0559 ye now to Hezekiah 02396, Thus saith 0559 the great 01419 king 04428, the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, What confidence 0986 is this in which thou trustest 0982?
5 I say 0559, sayest thou, (but they are but vain 08193 words 01697) I have counsel 06098 and strength 01369 for war 04421: now on whom dost thou trust 0982, that thou rebellest 04775 against me? vain…: Heb. a word of lipsI have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war
6 Lo, thou trustest 0982 in the staff 04938 of this broken 07533 reed 07070, on Egypt 04714; on which if a man 0376 lean 05564, it will enter 0935 his hand 03709, and pierce 05344 it: so is Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 to all that trust 0982 in him.
7 But if thou shalt say 0559 to me, We trust 0982 in the LORD 03068 our God 0430: is it not he, whose high places 01116 and whose altars 04196 Hezekiah 02396 hath taken away 05493, and said 0559 to Judah 03063 and to Jerusalem 03389, Ye shall worship 07812 before 06440 this altar 04196?
8 Now therefore give pledges 06148, I pray thee, to my master 0113 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, and I will give 05414 thee two thousand 0505 horses 05483, if thou canst 03201 on thy part set 05414 riders 07392 upon them. pledges: or, hostages
9 How then wilt thou turn away 07725 the face 06440 of one 0259 captain 06346 of the least 06996 of my master’s 0113 servants 05650, and put thy trust 0982 on Egypt 04714 for chariots 07393 and for horsemen 06571?
10 And am I now come up 05927 without 01107 the LORD 03068 against this land 0776 to destroy 07843 it? the LORD 03068 said 0559 to me, Go up 05927 against this land 0776, and destroy 07843 it.
11 Then said 0559 Eliakim 0471 and Shebna 07644 and Joah 03098 to Rabshakeh 07262, Speak 01696, I pray thee, to thy servants 05650 in the Syrian language 0762; for we understand 08085 it: and speak 01696 not to us in the Jews’ language 03066, in the ears 0241 of the people 05971 that are on the wall 02346.
12 But Rabshakeh 07262 said 0559, Hath my master 0113 sent 07971 me to thy master 0113 and to thee to speak 01696 these words 01697? hath he not sent me to the men 0582 that sit 03427 upon the wall 02346, that they may devour 0398 their own dung 02716, 6675, and drink 08354 their own urine 04325, 7272, 7890 with you?
13 Then Rabshakeh 07262 stood 05975, and cried 07121 with a loud 01419 voice 06963 in the Jews’ language 03066, and said 0559, Hear 08085 ye the words 01697 of the great 01419 king 04428, the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
14 Thus saith 0559 the king 04428, Let not Hezekiah 02396 deceive 05377 you: for he shall not be able 03201 to deliver 05337 you.
15 Neither let Hezekiah 02396 make you trust 0982 in the LORD 03068, saying 0559, The LORD 03068 will surely 05337 deliver 05337 us: this city 05892 shall not be delivered 05414 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
16 Hearken 08085 not to Hezekiah 02396: for thus saith 0559 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, Make 06213 an agreement with me by a present 01293, and come out 03318 to me: and eat 0398 ye every one 0376 of his vine 01612, and every one 0376 of his fig tree 08384, and drink 08354 ye every one 0376 the waters 04325 of his own cistern 0953; Make…: or, Seek my favour by a present: Heb. Make with me a blessing
17 Until I come 0935 and take you away 03947 to a land 0776 like your own land 0776, a land 0776 of grain 01715 and wine 08492, a land 0776 of bread 03899 and vineyards 03754.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah 02396 persuade 05496 you, saying 0559, The LORD 03068 will deliver 05337 us. Hath any 0376 of the gods 0430 of the nations 01471 delivered 05337 his land 0776 out of the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804?
19 Where are the gods 0430 of Hamath 02574 and Arphad 0774? where are the gods 0430 of Sepharvaim 05617? and have they delivered 05337 Samaria 08111 out of my hand 03027?
20 Who are they among all the gods 0430 of these lands 0776, that have delivered 05337 their land 0776 out of my hand 03027, that the LORD 03068 should deliver 05337 Jerusalem 03389 out of my hand 03027?
21 But they held their peace 02790, and answered 06030 him not a word 01697: for the king’s 04428 commandment 04687 was, saying 0559, Answer 06030 him not.
22 Then came 0935 Eliakim 0471, the son 01121 of Hilkiah 02518, that was over the household 01004, and Shebna 07644 the scribe 05608, and Joah 03098, the son 01121 of Asaph 0623, the recorder 02142, to Hezekiah 02396 with their clothes 0899 torn 07167, and told 05046 him the words 01697 of Rabshakeh 07262.
1 And it came to pass, when king 04428 Hezekiah 02396 heard 08085 it, that he tore 07167 his clothes 0899, and covered 03680 himself with sackcloth 08242, and went 0935 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
2 And he sent 07971 Eliakim 0471, who was over the household 01004, and Shebna 07644 the scribe 05608, and the elders 02205 of the priests 03548 covered 03680 with sackcloth 08242, to Isaiah 03470 the prophet 05030 the son 01121 of Amoz 0531.
3 And they said 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 Hezekiah 02396, This day 03117 is a day 03117 of trouble 06869, and of rebuke 08433, and of blasphemy 05007: for the children 01121 are come 0935 to the birth 04866, and there is not strength 03581 to bring forth 03205. blasphemy: or, provocation
4 It may be the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 will hear 08085 the words 01697 of Rabshakeh 07262, whom the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 his master 0113 hath sent 07971 to reproach 02778 the living 02416 God 0430, and will reprove 03198 the words 01697 which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath heard 08085: therefore lift up 05375 thy prayer 08605 for the remnant 07611 that is left 04672. left: Heb. found
5 So the servants 05650 of king 04428 Hezekiah 02396 came 0935 to Isaiah 03470.
6 And Isaiah 03470 said 0559 to them, Thus shall ye say 0559 to your master 0113, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Be not afraid 03372 of 06440 the words 01697 that thou hast heard 08085, with which the servants 05288 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 have blasphemed 01442 me.
7 Behold, I will send 05414 a wind 07307 upon him, and he shall hear 08085 a rumour 08052, and return 07725 to his own land 0776; and I will cause him to fall 05307 by the sword 02719 in his own land 0776. send…: or, put a spirit into him
8 So Rabshakeh 07262 returned 07725, and found 04672 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 warring 03898 against Libnah 03841: for he had heard 08085 that he had departed 05265 from Lachish 03923.
9 And he heard 08085 it said 0559 concerning Tirhakah 08640 king 04428 of Cush 03568, He is come forth 03318 to make war 03898 with thee. And when he heard 08085 it, he sent 07971 messengers 04397 to Hezekiah 02396, saying 0559,
10 Thus shall ye speak 0559 to Hezekiah 02396 king 04428 of Judah 03063, saying 0559, Let not thy God 0430, in whom thou trustest 0982, deceive 05377 thee, saying 0559, Jerusalem 03389 shall not be given 05414 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
11 Behold, thou hast heard 08085 what the kings 04428 of Assyria 0804 have done 06213 to all lands 0776 by destroying them utterly 02763; and shalt thou be delivered 05337?
12 Have the gods 0430 of the nations 01471 delivered 05337 them which my fathers 01 have destroyed 07843, as Gozan 01470, and Haran 02771, and Rezeph 07530, and the children 01121 of Eden 05729 who were in Telassar 08515?
13 Where is the king 04428 of Hamath 02574, and the king 04428 of Arphad 0774, and the king 04428 of the city 05892 of Sepharvaim 05617, Hena 02012, and Ivah 05755?
14 And Hezekiah 02396 received 03947 the letter 05612 from the hand 03027 of the messengers 04397, and read 07121 it: and Hezekiah 02396 went up 05927 to the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and spread 06566 it before 06440 the LORD 03068.
15 And Hezekiah 02396 prayed 06419 to the LORD 03068, saying 0559,
16 O LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, God 0430 of Israel 03478, that dwellest 03427 between the cherubim 03742, thou art the God 0430, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776: thou hast made 06213 heaven 08064 and earth 0776.
17 Incline 05186 thy ear 0241, O LORD 03068, and hear 08085; open 06491 thy eyes 05869, O LORD 03068, and see 07200: and hear 08085 all the words 01697 of Sennacherib 05576, who hath sent 07971 to reproach 02778 the living 02416 God 0430.
18 Of a truth 0551, LORD 03068, the kings 04428 of Assyria 0804 have laid waste 02717 all the nations 0776, and their countries 0776, nations: Heb. lands
19 And have cast 05414 their gods 0430 into the fire 0784: for they were no gods 0430, but the work 04639 of men’s 0120 hands 03027, wood 06086 and stone 068: therefore they have destroyed 06 them. cast: Heb. given
20 Now therefore, O LORD 03068 our God 0430, save 03467 us from his hand 03027, that all the kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776 may know 03045 that thou art the LORD 03068, even thou only.
21 Then Isaiah 03470 the son 01121 of Amoz 0531 sent 07971 to Hezekiah 02396, saying 0559, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, Though thou hast prayed 06419 to me against Sennacherib 05576 king 04428 of Assyria 0804:
22 This is the word 01697 which the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 concerning him; The virgin 01330, the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726, hath despised 0959 thee, and mocked 03932 thee; the daughter 01323 of Jerusalem 03389 hath shaken 05128 her head 07218 at thee 0310.
23 Whom hast thou reproached 02778 and blasphemed 01442? and against whom hast thou exalted 07311 thy voice 06963, and lifted 05375 thy eyes 05869 on high 04791? even against the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478.
24 By 03027 thy servants 05650 hast thou reproached 02778 the Lord 0136, and hast said 0559, By the multitude 07230 of my chariots 07393 have I come up 05927 to the height 04791 of the mountains 02022, to the sides 03411 of Lebanon 03844; and I will cut down 03772 its tall 06967 cedars 0730, and its choice 04005 fir trees 01265: and I will enter 0935 into the height 04791 of its border 07093, and the forest 03293 of his Carmel 03760. By thy…: Heb. By the hand of thy servantsthe tall…: Heb. the tallness of the cedars thereof and the choice of the fir trees thereofthe forest…: or, the forest and his fruitful field
25 I have dug 06979, and drunk 08354 water 04325; and with the sole 03709 of my feet 06471 have I dried up 02717 all the rivers 02975 of the besieged places 04693. besieged: or, fenced and closed
26 Hast thou not heard 08085 long ago 07350, how I have done 06213 it; and of ancient 06924 times 03117, that I have formed 03335 it? now have I brought 0935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste 07582 fortified 01219 cities 05892 into ruinous 05327 heaps 01530. Hast…: or, Hast thou not heard how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and defenced cities to be ruinous heaps?
27 Therefore their inhabitants 03427 were of small 07116 power 03027, they were dismayed 02865 and confounded 0954: they were as the grass 06212 of the field 07704, and as the green 03419 herb 01877, as the grass 02682 on the housetops 01406, and as grain blighted 07709 before 06440 it is grown up 07054. of small…: Heb. short of hand
28 But I know 03045 thy abode 03427, and thy going out 03318, and thy coming in 0935, and thy rage 07264 against me. abode: or, sitting
29 Because thy rage 07264 against me, and thy tumult 07600, is come up 05927 into my ears 0241, therefore I will put 07760 my hook 02397 in thy nose 0639, and my bridle 04964 in thy lips 08193, and I will turn thee back 07725 by the way 01870 by which thou camest 0935.
30 And this shall be a sign 0226 to thee, Ye shall eat 0398 this year 08141 such as groweth 05599 of itself; and the second 08145 year 08141 that which springeth 07823 of the same: and in the third 07992 year 08141 sow 02232 ye, and reap 07114, and plant 05193 vineyards 03754, and eat 0398 the fruit 06529 of them.
31 And the remnant 07604 that hath escaped 06413 of the house 01004 of Judah 03063 shall again 03254 take root 08328 downward 04295, and bear 06213 fruit 06529 upward 04605: the remnant…: Heb. the escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth
32 For out of Jerusalem 03389 shall go forth 03318 a remnant 07611, and they that escape 06413 from mount 02022 Zion 06726: the zeal 07068 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 shall do 06213 this. they…: Heb. the escaping
33 Therefore thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 concerning the king 04428 of Assyria 0804, He shall not come 0935 into this city 05892, nor shoot 03384 an arrow 02671 there, nor come before 06923 it with shields 04043, nor cast 08210 a mount 05550 against it.
34 By the way 01870 that he came 0935, by the same shall he return 07725, and shall not come 0935 into this city 05892, saith 05002 the LORD 03068.
35 For I will defend 01598 this city 05892 to save 03467 it for my own sake, and for my servant 05650 David’s 01732 sake.
36 Then the angel 04397 of the LORD 03068 went forth 03318, and smote 05221 in the camp 04264 of the Assyrians 0804 an hundred 03967 and eighty 08084 and five 02568 thousand 0505: and when they arose early 07925 in the morning 01242, behold, they were all dead 04191 bodies 06297.
37 So Sennacherib 05576 king 04428 of Assyria 0804 departed 05265, and went 03212 and returned 07725, and dwelt 03427 at Nineveh 05210.
38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping 07812 in the house 01004 of Nisroch 05268 his god 0430, that Adrammelech 0152 and Sharezer 08272 his sons 01121 smote 05221 him with the sword 02719; and they escaped 04422 into the land 0776 of Armenia 0780: and Esarhaddon 0634 his son 01121 reigned 04427 in his stead. Armenia: Heb. Ararat
1 In those days 03117 was Hezekiah 02396 sick 02470 and near death 04191. And Isaiah 03470 the prophet 05030 the son 01121 of Amoz 0531 came 0935 to him, and said 0559 to him, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Set thy house 01004 in order 06680: for thou shalt die 04191, and not live 02421. Set…: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house
2 Then Hezekiah 02396 turned 05437 his face 06440 toward the wall 07023, and prayed 06419 to the LORD 03068,
3 And said 0559, Remember 02142 now, O LORD 03068, I beseech 0577 thee, how I have walked 01980 before 06440 thee in truth 0571 and with a perfect 08003 heart 03820, and have done 06213 that which is good 02896 in thy sight 05869. And Hezekiah 02396 wept 01058, 1065 bitterly 01419. sore: Heb. with great weeping
4 Then came the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 to Isaiah 03470, saying 0559,
5 Go 01980, and say 0559 to Hezekiah 02396, Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of David 01732 thy father 01, I have heard 08085 thy prayer 08605, I have seen 07200 thy tears 01832: behold, I will add 03254 to thy days 03117 fifteen 02568, 6240 years 08141.
6 And I will deliver 05337 thee and this city 05892 from the hand 03709 of the king 04428 of Assyria 0804: and I will defend 01598 this city 05892.
7 And this shall be a sign 0226 to thee from the LORD 03068, that the LORD 03068 will do 06213 this thing 01697 that he hath spoken 01696;
8 Behold, I will bring again 07725 the shadow 06738 of the degrees 04609, which hath gone down 03381 on the sun 08121 dial 04609 of Ahaz 0271, ten 06235 degrees 04609 backward 0322. So the sun 08121 returned 07725 ten 06235 degrees 04609, by which degrees 04609 it had gone down 03381. sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun
9 The writing 04385 of Hezekiah 02396 king 04428 of Judah 03063, when he had been sick 02470, and had recovered 02421 from his sickness 02483:
10 I said 0559 in the cutting off 01824 of my days 03117, I shall go 03212 to the gates 08179 of the grave 07585: I am deprived 06485 of the rest 03499 of my years 08141.
11 I said 0559, I shall not see 07200 the LORD 03050, even the LORD 03050, in the land 0776 of the living 02416: I shall behold 05027 man 0120 no more with the inhabitants 03427 of the world 02309.
12 My age 01755 hath departed 05265, and is removed 01540 from me as a shepherd’s 07473 tent 0168: I have cut off 07088 like a weaver 0707 my life 02416: he will cut me off 01214 with pining sickness 01803: from day 03117 even to night 03915 wilt thou make an end 07999 of me. with…: or, from the thrum
13 I reckoned 07737 till morning 01242, that, as a lion 0738, so will he break 07665 all my bones 06106: from day 03117 even to night 03915 wilt thou make an end 07999 of me.
14 Like a crane 05483 or a swallow 05693, so I chattered 06850: I mourned 01897 as a dove 03123: my eyes 05869 fail 01809 with looking upward 04791: O LORD 03068, I am oppressed 06234; undertake 06148 for me. undertake…: or, ease me
15 What shall I say 01696? he hath both spoken 0559 to me, and himself hath done 06213 it: I shall go softly 01718 all my years 08141 in the bitterness 04751 of my soul 05315.
16 O Lord 0136, by these things men live 02421, and in all these things is the life 02416 of my spirit 07307: so wilt thou restore 02492 me, and make me to live 02421.
17 Behold, for peace 07965 I had great bitterness 04751, 4843: but thou hast in love 02836 to my soul 05315 delivered it from the pit 07845 of corruption 01097: for thou hast cast 07993 all my sins 02399 behind 0310 thy back 01460. for peace…: or, on my peace came great bitternessthou hast in…: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit
18 For the grave 07585 cannot praise 03034 thee, death 04194 can not celebrate 01984 thee: they that go down 03381 into the pit 0953 cannot hope 07663 for thy truth 0571.
19 The living 02416, the living 02416, he shall praise 03034 thee, as I do this day 03117: the father 01 to the children 01121 shall make known 03045 thy truth 0571.
20 The LORD 03068 was ready to save 03467 me: therefore we will sing my songs 05058 to the stringed instruments 05059 all the days 03117 of our life 02416 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
21 For Isaiah 03470 had said 0559, Let them take 05375 a lump 01690 of figs 08384, and lay it for a plaster 04799 upon the boil 07822, and he shall recover 02421.
22 Hezekiah 02396 also had said 0559, What is the sign 0226 that I shall go up 05927 to the house 01004 of the LORD 03068?
1 At that time 06256 Merodachbaladan 04757, the son 01121 of Baladan 01081, king 04428 of Babylon 0894, sent 07971 letters 05612 and a present 04503 to Hezekiah 02396: for he had heard 08085 that he had been sick 02470, and had recovered 02388.
2 And Hezekiah 02396 was glad 08055 of them, and showed 07200 them the house 01004 of his precious things 05238, the silver 03701, and the gold 02091, and the spices 01314, and the precious 02896 ointment 08081, and all the house 01004 of his armour 03627, and all that was found 04672 in his treasuries 0214: there was nothing 01697 in his house 01004, nor in all his dominion 04475, that Hezekiah 02396 did not show 07200 them. precious things: or, spiceryarmour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments
3 Then came 0935 Isaiah 03470 the prophet 05030 to king 04428 Hezekiah 02396, and said 0559 to him, What said 0559 these men 0582? and from where 0370 came 0935 they to thee? And Hezekiah 02396 said 0559, They have come 0935 to me, from a far 07350 country 0776, even from Babylon 0894.
4 Then said 0559 he, What have they seen 07200 in thy house 01004? And Hezekiah 02396 answered 0559, All that is in my house 01004 have they seen 07200: there is nothing 01697 among my treasures 0214 that I have not showed 07200 them.
5 Then said 0559 Isaiah 03470 to Hezekiah 02396, Hear 08085 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635:
6 Behold, the days 03117 come 0935, that all that is in thy house 01004, and that which thy fathers 01 have laid up in store 0686 until this day 03117, shall be carried 05375 to Babylon 0894: nothing 01697 shall be left 03498, saith 0559 the LORD 03068.
7 And of thy sons 01121 that shall issue 03318 from thee, which thou shalt beget 03205, shall they take away 03947; and they shall be eunuchs 05631 in the palace 01964 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894.
8 Then said 0559 Hezekiah 02396 to Isaiah 03470, Good 02896 is the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 which thou hast spoken 01696. He said 0559 moreover, For there shall be peace 07965 and truth 0571 in my days 03117.
1 Comfort 05162 ye, comfort 05162 ye my people 05971, saith 0559 your God 0430.
2 Speak 01696 ye kindly 03820 to Jerusalem 03389, and cry 07121 to her, that her warfare 06635 is accomplished 04390, that her iniquity 05771 is pardoned 07521: for she hath received 03947 from the LORD’S 03068 hand 03027 double 03718 for all her sins 02403. comfortably: Heb. to the heartwarfare: or, appointed time
3 The voice 06963 of him that crieth 07121 in the wilderness 04057, Prepare 06437 ye the way 01870 of the LORD 03068, make straight 03474 in the desert 06160 a highway 04546 for our God 0430.
4 Every valley 01516 shall be exalted 05375, and every mountain 02022 and hill 01389 shall be made low 08213: and the crooked 06121 shall be made straight 04334, and the rough places 07406 plain 01237: straight: or, a straight placeplain: or, a plain place
5 And the glory 03519 of the LORD 03068 shall be revealed 01540, and all flesh 01320 together 03162 shall see 07200 it: for the mouth 06310 of the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 it.
6 The voice 06963 said 0559, Cry 07121. And he said 0559, What shall I cry 07121? All flesh 01320 is grass 02682, and all its beauty 02617 is as the flower 06731 of the field 07704:
7 The grass 02682 withereth 03001, the flower 06731 fadeth 05034: because the spirit 07307 of the LORD 03068 bloweth 05380 upon it: surely 0403 the people 05971 is grass 02682.
8 The grass 02682 withereth 03001, the flower 06731 fadeth 05034: but the word 01697 of our God 0430 shall stand 06965 for ever 05769.
9 O Zion 06726, that bringest good tidings 01319, go up 05927 upon the high 01364 mountain 02022; O Jerusalem 03389, that bringest good tidings 01319, lift up 07311 thy voice 06963 with strength 03581; lift it up 07311, be not afraid 03372; say 0559 to the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, Behold your God 0430!

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

15 Behold, the nations 01471 are as a drop 04752 of a bucket 01805, and are counted 02803 as the small dust 07834 of the balance 03976: behold, he taketh up 05190 the isles 0339 as a very little thing 01851.
16 And Lebanon 03844 is not 0369 sufficient 01767 to burn 01197, nor its beasts 02416 sufficient 01767 for a burnt offering 05930.

19 Behold, I will do 06213 a new thing 02319; now it shall spring forth 06779; shall ye not know 03045 it? I will even make 07760 a way 01870 in the wilderness 04057, and rivers 05104 in the desert 03452.
20 The beast 02416 of the field 07704 shall honour 03513 me, the dragons 08577 and the owls 01323, 3284: because I give 05414 waters 04325 in the wilderness 04057, and rivers 05104 in the desert 03452, to give drink 08248 to my people 05971, my chosen 0972. owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl
21 This 02098 people 05971 have I formed 03335 for myself; they shall show forth 05608 my praise 08416.
22 But thou hast not called 07121 upon me, O Jacob 03290; but thou hast been weary 03021 of me, O Israel 03478.
23 Thou hast not brought 0935 me the small cattle 07716 of thy burnt offerings 05930; neither hast thou honoured 03513 me with thy sacrifices 02077. I have not caused thee to serve 05647 with an offering 04503, nor wearied 03021 thee with incense 03828. small…: Heb. lambs, or, kids
24 Thou hast bought 07069 me no sweet cane 07070 with money 03701, neither hast thou filled 07301 me with the fat 02459 of thy sacrifices 02077: but thou hast burdened me 05647 with thy sins 02403, thou hast wearied 03021 me with thy iniquities 05771. filled…: Heb. made me drunk, or, abundantly moistened
25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out 04229 thy transgressions 06588 for my own sake, and will not remember 02142 thy sins 02403.
26 Put me in remembrance 02142: let us plead 08199 together 03162: declare 05608 thou, that thou mayest be justified 06663.
27 Thy first 07223 father 01 hath sinned 02398, and thy teachers 03887 have transgressed 06586 against me. teachers: Heb. interpreters
28 Therefore I have profaned 02490 the princes 08269 of the sanctuary 06944, and have given 05414 Jacob 03290 to the curse 02764, and Israel 03478 to reproaches 01421. princes…: or, holy princes
1 Yet now hear 08085, O Jacob 03290 my servant 05650; and Israel 03478, whom I have chosen 0977:
2 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 that made 06213 thee, and formed 03335 thee from the womb 0990, who will help 05826 thee; Fear 03372 not, O Jacob 03290, my servant 05650; and thou, Jesurun 03484, whom I have chosen 0977.
3 For I will pour 03332 water 04325 upon him that is thirsty 06771, and floods 05140 upon the dry ground 03004: I will pour 03332 my spirit 07307 upon thy seed 02233, and my blessing 01293 upon thy offspring 06631:
4 And they shall spring up 06779 as among 0996 the grass 02682, as willows 06155 by the water 04325 courses 02988.
5 One shall say 0559, I am the LORD’S 03068; and another shall call 07121 himself by the name 08034 of Jacob 03290; and another shall write 03789 with his hand 03027 to the LORD 03068, and surname 03655 himself by the name 08034 of Israel 03478.
6 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 the King 04428 of Israel 03478, and his redeemer 01350 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; I am the first 07223, and I am the last 0314; and besides 01107 me there is no God 0430.
7 And who, as I, shall call 07121, and shall declare 05046 it, and set it in order 06186 for me, since I appointed 07760 the ancient 05769 people 05971? and the things that are coming 0857, and shall come 0935, let them show 05046 to them.
8 Fear 06342 ye not, neither be afraid 07297: have not I told 08085 thee from that time 0227, and have declared 05046 it? ye are even my witnesses 05707. Is there 03426 a God 0433 besides 01107 me? verily, there is no God 06697; I know 03045 not any. God; I: Heb. rock, etc
9 They that make 03335 a graven image 06459 are all of them vanity 08414; and their delectable things 02530 shall not profit 03276; and they are their own witnesses 05707; they see 07200 not, nor know 03045; that they may be ashamed 0954. delectable: Heb. desirable
10 Who hath formed 03335 a god 0410, or cast 05258 a graven image 06459 that is profitable 03276 for nothing 01115?
11 Behold, all his companions 02270 shall be ashamed 0954: and the workmen 02796, they are of men 0120: let them all be gathered together 06908, let them stand up 05975; yet they shall fear 06342, and they shall be ashamed 0954 together 03162.
12 The smith 01270, 2796 with the tongs 04621 both worketh 06466 in the coals 06352, and fashioneth 03335 it with hammers 04717, and worketh 06466 it with the strength 03581 of his arms 02220: yea, he is hungry 07457, and his strength 03581 faileth 0369: he drinketh 08354 no water 04325, and is faint 03286. with the tongs: or, with an axe
13 The carpenter 02796, 6086 stretcheth out 05186 his rule 06957; he marketh it out 08388 with a line 08279; he fitteth 06213 it with planes 04741, and he marketh it out 08388 with the compass 04230, and maketh 06213 it after the figure 08403 of a man 0376, according to the beauty 08597 of a man 0120; that it may remain 03427 in the house 01004.
14 He heweth down 03772 cedars 0730 for himself and taketh 03947 the cypress 08645 and the oak 0437, which he strengtheneth 0553 for himself among the trees 06086 of the forest 03293: he planteth 05193 an ash 0766, and the rain 01653 doth nourish 01431 it. strengtheneth: or, taketh courage
15 Then shall it be for a man 0120 to burn 01197: for he will take 03947 of it, and warm 02552 himself; indeed, he kindleth 05400 it, and baketh 0644 bread 03899; yea, he maketh 06466 a god 0410, and worshippeth 07812 it; he maketh 06213 it a graven image 06459, and falleth down 05456 to it.
16 He burneth 08313 part 02677 of it in 01119 the fire 0784; with part 02677 of it he eateth 0398 flesh 01320; he roasteth 06740 meat 06748, and is satisfied 07646: yea, he warmeth 02552 himself, and saith 0559, Aha 01889, I am warm 02552, I have seen 07200 the fire 0217:
17 And the rest 07611 of it he maketh 06213 a god 0410, even his graven image 06459: he falleth down 05456 to it, and worshippeth 07812 it, and prayeth 06419 to it, and saith 0559, Deliver 05337 me; for thou art my god 0410.
18 They have not known 03045 nor understood 0995: for he hath shut 02902 their eyes 05869, that they cannot see 07200; and their hearts 03826, that they cannot understand 07919. shut: Heb. daubed
19 And none considereth 07725 in his heart 03820, neither is there knowledge 01847 nor understanding 08394 to say 0559, I have burned 08313 part 02677 of it in 01119 the fire 0784; I have also baked 0644 bread 03899 upon its coals 01513; I have roasted 06740 flesh 01320, and eaten 0398 it: and shall I make 06213 the rest 03499 of it an abomination 08441? shall I fall down 05456 to the stock 0944 of a tree 06086? considereth…: Heb. setteth to his heartthe stock…: Heb. that which comes of a tree?
20 He feedeth 07462 on ashes 0665: a deceived 02048 heart 03820 hath turned him aside 05186, that he cannot deliver 05337 his soul 05315, nor say 0559, Is there not a lie 08267 in my right hand 03225?
21 Remember 02142 these, O Jacob 03290 and Israel 03478; for thou art my servant 05650: I have formed 03335 thee; thou art my servant 05650: O Israel 03478, thou shalt not be forgotten 05382 by me.
22 I have blotted out 04229, as a thick cloud 05645, thy transgressions 06588, and, as a cloud 06051, thy sins 02403: return 07725 to me; for I have redeemed 01350 thee.
23 Sing 07442, O ye heavens 08064; for the LORD 03068 hath done 06213 it: shout 07321, ye lower parts 08482 of the earth 0776: break forth 06476 into singing 07440, ye mountains 02022, O forest 03293, and every tree 06086 in it: for the LORD 03068 hath redeemed 01350 Jacob 03290, and glorified 06286 himself in Israel 03478.
24 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, thy redeemer 01350, and he that formed 03335 thee from the womb 0990, I am the LORD 03068 that maketh 06213 all things; that stretcheth forth 05186 the heavens 08064 alone; that spreadeth abroad 07554 the earth 0776 by myself;
25 That frustrateth 06565 the tokens 0226 of the liars 0907, and maketh diviners 07080 mad 01984; that turneth 07725 wise 02450 men backward 0268, and maketh their knowledge 01847 foolish 05528;
26 That confirmeth 06965 the word 01697 of his servant 05650, and performeth 07999 the counsel 06098 of his messengers 04397; that saith 0559 to Jerusalem 03389, Thou shalt be inhabited 03427; and to the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, Ye shall be built 01129, and I will raise up 06965 its decayed places 02723: decayed…: Heb. wastes
27 That saith 0559 to the deep 06683, Be dry 02717, and I will dry up 03001 thy rivers 05104:
28 That saith 0559 of Cyrus 03566, He is my shepherd 07462, and he shall perform 07999 all my pleasure 02656: even saying 0559 to Jerusalem 03389, Thou shalt be built 01129; and to the temple 01964, Thy foundation shall be laid 03245.
1 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 to his anointed 04899, to Cyrus 03566, whose right hand 03225 I have held 02388, to subdue 07286 nations 01471 before 06440 him; and I will loose 06605 the loins 04975 of kings 04428, to open 06605 before 06440 him the two leaved gates 01817; and the gates 08179 shall not be shut 05462; have…: or, strengthened
2 I will go 03212 before 06440 thee, and make 03474 the crooked places 01921 straight 03474: I will break in pieces 07665 the gates 01817 of brass 05154, and cut asunder 01438 the bars 01280 of iron 01270:
3 And I will give 05414 thee the treasures 0214 of darkness 02822, and hidden riches 04301 of secret places 04565, that thou mayest know 03045 that I, the LORD 03068, who call 07121 thee by thy name 08034, am the God 0430 of Israel 03478.
4 For Jacob 03290 my servant’s 05650 sake, and Israel 03478 my elect 0972, I have even called 07121 thee by thy name 08034: I have surnamed 03655 thee, though thou hast not known 03045 me.
5 I am the LORD 03068, and there is none else, there is no God 0430 besides 02108 me: I girded 0247 thee, though thou hast not known 03045 me:
6 That they may know 03045 from the rising 04217 of the sun 08121, and from the west 04628, that there is none 0657 besides 01107 me. I am the LORD 03068, and there is none else.
7 I form 03335 the light 0216, and create 01254 darkness 02822: I make 06213 peace 07965, and create 01254 evil 07451: I the LORD 03068 do 06213 all these things.
8 Drop down 07491, ye heavens 08064, from above 04605, and let the skies 07834 pour down 05140 righteousness 06664: let the earth 0776 open 06605, and let them bring forth 06509 salvation 03468, and let righteousness 06666 spring up 06779 together 03162; I the LORD 03068 have created 01254 it.
9 Woe 01945 to him that contendeth 07378 with his Maker 03335! Let the potsherd 02789 contend with the potsherds 02789 of the earth 0127. Shall the clay 02563 say 0559 to him that fashioneth 03335 it, What makest 06213 thou? or thy work 06467, He hath no hands 03027?
10 Woe 01945 to him that saith 0559 to his father 01, What begettest 03205 thou? or to the woman 0802, What hast thou brought forth 02342?
11 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478, and his Maker 03335, Ask 07592 me of things to come 0857 concerning my sons 01121, and concerning the work 06467 of my hands 03027 command 06680 ye me.
12 I have made 06213 the earth 0776, and created 01254 man 0120 upon it: I, even my hands 03027, have stretched out 05186 the heavens 08064, and all their host 06635 have I commanded 06680.
13 I have raised him up 05782 in righteousness 06664, and I will direct 03474 all his ways 01870: he shall build 01129 my city 05892, and he shall let go 07971 my captives 01546, not for price 04242 nor reward 07810, saith 0559 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635. direct: or, make straight
14 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, The labour 03018 of Egypt 04714, and merchandise 05505 of Cush 03568 and of the Sabeans 05436, men 0582 of stature 04060, shall come over 05674 to thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come 03212 after 0310 thee; in chains 02131 they shall come over 05674, and they shall fall down 07812 to thee, they shall make supplication 06419 to thee, saying, Surely God 0410 is in thee; and there is none else, there is no 0657 God 0430.
15 Verily 0403 thou art a God 0410 that hidest 05641 thyself, O God 0430 of Israel 03478, the Saviour 03467.
16 They shall be ashamed 0954, and also confounded 03637, all of them: they shall go 01980 to confusion 03639 together 03162 that are makers 02796 of idols 06736.
17 But Israel 03478 shall be saved 03467 in the LORD 03068 with an everlasting 05769 salvation 08668: ye shall not be ashamed 0954 nor confounded 03637 world 05769 without end 05703.
18 For thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 that created 01254 the heavens 08064; God 0430 himself that formed 03335 the earth 0776 and made 06213 it; he hath established 03559 it, he created 01254 it not in vain 08414, he formed 03335 it to be inhabited 03427: I am the LORD 03068; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken 01696 in secret 05643, in a dark 02822 place 04725 of the earth 0776: I have not said 0559 to the seed 02233 of Jacob 03290, Seek 01245 ye me in vain 08414: I the LORD 03068 speak 01696 righteousness 06664, I declare 05046 things that are right 04339.
20 Assemble 06908 yourselves and come 0935; draw near 05066 together 03162, ye that have escaped 06412 of the nations 01471: they have no knowledge 03045 that set up 05375 the wood 06086 of their graven image 06459, and pray 06419 to a god 0410 that cannot save 03467.
21 Tell 05046 ye, and bring them near 05066; yea, let them take counsel 03289 together 03162: who hath declared 08085 this from ancient time 06924? who hath told 05046 it from that time? have not I the LORD 03068? and there is no God 0430 else besides 01107 me; a just 06662 God 0410 and a Saviour 03467; there is none 0369 besides 02108 me.
22 Look 06437 to me, and be ye saved 03467, all the ends 0657 of the earth 0776: for I am God 0410, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn 07650 by myself, the word 01697 is gone out 03318 of my mouth 06310 in righteousness 06666, and shall not return 07725, That to me every knee 01290 shall bow 03766, every tongue 03956 shall swear 07650.
24 Surely, shall one say 0559, in the LORD 03068 have I righteousness 06666 and strength 05797: even to him shall men come 0935; and all that are incensed 02734 against him shall be ashamed 0954. Surely…: or, Surely he shall say of me, In the LORD is all righteousness and strengthrighteousness: Heb. righteousnesses
25 In the LORD 03068 shall all the seed 02233 of Israel 03478 be justified 06663, and shall glory 01984.
1 Bel 01078 boweth down 03766, Nebo 05015 stoopeth 07164, their idols 06091 were upon the beasts 02416, and upon the cattle 0929: your carriages 05385 were heavily loaded 06006; they were a burden 04853 to the weary 05889 beast.
2 They stoop 07164, they bow down 03766 together 03162; they could 03201 not deliver 04422 the burden 04853, but themselves 05315 have gone 01980 into captivity 07628. themselves: Heb. their soul
3 Hearken 08085 to me, O house 01004 of Jacob 03290, and all the remnant 07611 of the house 01004 of Israel 03478, who are borne 06006 by me from birth 0990, who are carried 05375 from the womb 07356:
4 And even to your old age 02209 I am he; and even to gray hairs 07872 will I carry 05445 you: I have made 06213, and I will bear 05375; even I will carry 05445, and will deliver 04422 you.
5 To whom will ye liken 01819 me, and make me equal 07737, and compare 04911 me, that we may be like 01819?
6 They lavish 02107 gold 02091 out of the bag 03599, and weigh 08254 silver 03701 in the balance 07070, and hire 07936 a goldsmith 06884; and he maketh 06213 it a god 0410: they fall down 05456, yea, they worship 07812.
7 They bear 05375 him upon the shoulder 03802, they carry 05445 him, and set him in his place 03240, and he standeth 05975; from his place 04725 shall he not move 04185: yea, one shall cry 06817 to him, yet he cannot answer 06030, nor save 03467 him out of his trouble 06869.
8 Remember 02142 this, and show yourselves men 0377: bring it again 07725 to mind 03820, O ye transgressors 06586.
9 Remember 02142 the former things 07223 of old 05769: for I am God 0410, and there is none else; I am God 0430, and there is none 0657 like 03644 me,
10 Declaring 05046 the end 0319 from the beginning 07225, and from ancient times 06924 the things that are not yet done 06213, saying 0559, My counsel 06098 shall stand 06965, and I will do 06213 all my pleasure 02656:
11 Calling 07121 a ravenous bird 05861 from the east 04217, the man 0376 that executeth my counsel 06098 from a far 04801 country 0776: yea, I have spoken 01696 it, I will also bring 0935 it to pass; I have purposed 03335 it, I will also perform 06213 it. that…: Heb. of my counsel
12 Hearken 08085 to me, ye stubborn in heart 047, 3820, that are far from 07350 righteousness 06666:
13 I bring near 07126 my righteousness 06666; it shall not be far off 07368, and my salvation 08668 shall not delay 0309: and I will place 05414 salvation 08668 in Zion 06726 for Israel 03478 my glory 08597.
1 Come down 03381, and sit 03427 in the dust 06083, O virgin 01330 daughter 01323 of Babylon 0894, sit 03427 on the ground 0776: there is no throne 03678, O daughter 01323 of the Chaldeans 03778: for thou shalt no more 03254 be called 07121 tender 07390 and delicate 06028.
2 Take 03947 the millstones 07347, and grind 02912 meal 07058: uncover 01540 thy locks 06777, make bare 02834 the leg 07640, uncover 01540 the thigh 07785, pass over 05674 the rivers 05104.
3 Thy nakedness 06172 shall be uncovered 01540, yea, thy shame 02781 shall be seen 07200: I will take 03947 vengeance 05359, and I will not meet 06293 thee as a man 0120.
4 As for our redeemer 01350, the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 is his name 08034, the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478.
5 Sit 03427 thou silent 01748, and get 0935 thee into darkness 02822, O daughter 01323 of the Chaldeans 03778: for thou shalt no more 03254 be called 07121, The lady 01404 of kingdoms 04467.
6 I was angry 07107 with my people 05971, I have polluted 02490 my inheritance 05159, and given 05414 them into thy hand 03027: thou didst show 07760 them no mercy 07356; upon the ancient 02205 hast thou very 03966 heavily 03513 laid thy yoke 05923.
7 And thou saidst 0559, I shall be a lady 01404 for ever 05769: so that thou didst not lay 07760 these things to thy heart 03820, neither didst remember 02142 its latter end 0319.
8 Therefore hear 08085 now this, thou that art given to pleasures 05719, that dwellest 03427 securely 0983, that sayest 0559 in thy heart 03824, I am, and none else 0657 besides me; I shall not sit 03427 as a widow 0490, neither shall I know 03045 the loss of children 07908:
9 But these two 08147 things shall come 0935 to thee in a moment 07281 in one 0259 day 03117, the loss of children 07908, and widowhood 0489: they shall come 0935 upon thee in their perfection 08537 for the multitude 07230 of thy sorceries 03785, and for the great 03966 abundance 06109 of thy enchantments 02267.
10 For thou hast trusted 0982 in thy wickedness 07451: thou hast said 0559, None seeth 07200 me. Thy wisdom 02451 and thy knowledge 01847, it hath perverted 07725 thee; and thou hast said 0559 in thy heart 03820, I am, and none else 0657 besides me. perverted…: or, caused thee to turn away
11 Therefore shall evil 07451 come 0935 upon thee; thou shalt not know 03045 from where it riseth 07837: and mischief 01943 shall fall 05307 upon thee; thou shalt not be able 03201 to put it off 03722: and desolation 07722 shall come 0935 upon thee suddenly 06597, which thou shalt not know 03045. from…: Heb. the morning thereofput: Heb. expiate
12 Stand 05975 now with thy enchantments 02267, and with the multitude 07230 of thy sorceries 03785, in which 0834 thou hast laboured 03021 from thy youth 05271; if thou shalt be able 03201 to profit 03276, if thou mayest prevail 06206.
13 Thou art wearied 03811 in the multitude 07230 of thy counsels 06098. Let now the astrologers 01895, 8064, the stargazers 02374, 3556, the monthly 02320 prognosticators 03045, stand up 05975, and save 03467 thee from these things that shall come 0935 upon thee. astrologers: Heb. viewers of the heavensthe monthly…: Heb. that give knowledge concerning the months
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble 07179; the fire 0784 shall burn 08313 them; they shall not deliver 05337 themselves 05315 from the power 03027 of the flame 03852: there shall not be a coal 01513 to warm 02552 at, nor fire 0217 to sit 03427 before it. themselves: Heb. their souls
15 Thus shall they be to thee with whom thou hast laboured 03021, even thy merchants 05503, from thy youth 05271: they shall wander 08582 every one 0376 to his quarter 05676; none shall save 03467 thee.
1 Hear 08085 ye this, O house 01004 of Jacob 03290, who are called 07121 by the name 08034 of Israel 03478, and have come forth 03318 out of the waters 04325 of Judah 03063, who swear 07650 by the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, and make mention 02142 of the God 0430 of Israel 03478, but not in truth 0571, nor in righteousness 06666.
2 For they call 07121 themselves of the holy 06944 city 05892, and stay 05564 themselves upon the God 0430 of Israel 03478; The LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 is his name 08034.
3 I have declared 05046 the former things 07223 from the beginning 0227; and they went forth 03318 from my mouth 06310, and I showed 08085 them; I did 06213 them suddenly 06597, and they came to pass 0935.
4 Because I knew 01847 that thou art obstinate 07186, and thy neck 06203 is an iron 01270 sinew 01517, and thy brow 04696 brass 05154; obstinate: Heb. hard
5 I have even from the beginning 0227 declared 05046 it to thee; before it came to pass 0935 I showed 08085 it thee: lest thou shouldest say 0559, My idol 06090 hath done 06213 them, and my graven image 06459, and my molten image 05262, hath commanded 06680 them.
6 Thou hast heard 08085, see 02372 all this; and will not ye declare 05046 it? I have showed 08085 ye new things 02319 from this time 06258, even hidden things 05341, and thou didst not know 03045 them.
7 They are created 01254 now, and not from the beginning; even before 06440 the day 03117 when thou heardest 08085 them not; lest thou shouldest say 0559, Behold, I knew 03045 them.
8 Yea, thou heardest 08085 not; yea, thou knewest 03045 not; yea, from that time that thy ear 0241 was not opened 06605: for I knew 03045 that thou wouldest deal very 0898 treacherously 0898, and wast called 07121 a transgressor 06586 from the womb 0990.
9 For my name’s 08034 sake will I defer 0748 my anger 0639, and for my praise 08416 will I restrain 02413 it for thee, that I cut thee not off 03772.
10 Behold, I have refined 06884 thee, but not with silver 03701; I have chosen 0977 thee in the furnace 03564 of affliction 06040. with…: or, for silver
11 For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do 06213 it: for how should my name be profaned 02490? and I will not give 05414 my glory 03519 to another 0312.
12 Hearken 08085 to me, O Jacob 03290 and Israel 03478, my called 07121; I am he; I am the first 07223, I also am the last 0314.
13 My hand 03027 also hath laid the foundation 03245 of the earth 0776, and my right hand 03225 hath spread out 02946 the heavens 08064: when I call 07121 to them, they stand up 05975 together 03162. my…: or, the palm of my right hand hath spread out
14 All ye, assemble 06908 yourselves, and hear 08085; who among them hath declared 05046 these things? The LORD 03068 hath loved 0157 him: he will do 06213 his pleasure 02656 on Babylon 0894, and his arm 02220 shall be on the Chaldeans 03778.
15 I, even I, have spoken 01696; yea, I have called 07121 him: I have brought 0935 him, and he shall make his way 01870 prosperous 06743.
16 Come 07126 ye near 07126 to me, hear 08085 ye this; I have not spoken 01696 in secret 05643 from the beginning 07218; from the time 06256 that it was, there am I: and now the Lord 0136 GOD 03069, and his Spirit 07307, hath sent 07971 me.
17 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, thy Redeemer 01350, the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478; I am the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 who teacheth 03925 thee to profit 03276, who leadeth 01869 thee by the way 01870 that thou shouldest go 03212.
18 O that 03863 thou hadst hearkened 07181 to my commandments 04687! then had thy peace 07965 been as a river 05104, and thy righteousness 06666 as the waves 01530 of the sea 03220:
19 Thy seed 02233 also had been as the sand 02344, and the offspring 06631 of thy body 04578 like its gravel 04579; his name 08034 should not have been cut off 03772 nor destroyed 08045 from before 06440 me.
20 Go ye forth 03318 from Babylon 0894, flee 01272 ye from the Chaldeans 03778, with a voice 06963 of singing 07440 declare 05046 ye, tell 08085 this, utter 03318 it even to the end 07097 of the earth 0776; say 0559 ye, The LORD 03068 hath redeemed 01350 his servant 05650 Jacob 03290.
21 And they thirsted 06770 not when he led 03212 them through the deserts 02723: he caused the waters 04325 to flow 05140 out of the rock 06697 for them: he split 01234 the rock 06697 also, and the waters 04325 gushed out 02100.
22 There is no peace 07965, saith 0559 the LORD 03068, to the wicked 07563.
1 Listen 08085, to me O isles 0339; and hearken 07181, ye people 03816, from far 07350; The LORD 03068 hath called 07121 me from the womb 0990; from the body 04578 of my mother 0517 hath he made mention 02142 of my name 08034.
2 And he hath made 07760 my mouth 06310 like a sharp 02299 sword 02719; in the shadow 06738 of his hand 03027 hath he hid 02244 me, and made 07760 me a polished 01305 shaft 02671; in his quiver 0827 hath he hid 05641 me;
3 And said 0559 to me, Thou art my servant 05650, O Israel 03478, in whom I will be glorified 06286.
4 Then I said 0559, I have laboured 03021 in vain 07385, I have spent 03615 my strength 03581 for nothing 08414, and in vain 01892: yet surely 0403 my judgment 04941 is with the LORD 03068, and my work 06468 with my God 0430. my work: or, my reward
5 And now, saith 0559 the LORD 03068 that formed 03335 me from the womb 0990 to be his servant 05650, to bring 07725 Jacob 03290 again 07725 to him, Though Israel 03478 be not gathered 0622, yet shall I be glorious 03513 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068, and my God 0430 shall be my strength 05797. Though…: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc
6 And he said 0559, It is a light thing 07043 that thou shouldest be my servant 05650 to raise up 06965 the tribes 07626 of Jacob 03290, and to restore 07725 the preserved 05341, 5336 of Israel 03478: I will also give 05414 thee for a light 0216 to the Gentiles 01471, that thou mayest be my salvation 03444 to the end 07097 of the earth 0776. It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etcpreserved: or, desolations
7 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, the Redeemer 01350 of Israel 03478, and his Holy One 06918, to him whom man 05315 despiseth 0960, to him whom the nation 01471 abhorreth 08581, to a servant 05650 of rulers 04910, Kings 04428 shall see 07200 and arise 06965, princes 08269 also shall worship 07812, because of the LORD 03068 that is faithful 0539, and the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478, and he shall choose 0977 thee. whom man…: or, that is despised in soul
8 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, In an acceptable 07522 time 06256 have I heard 06030 thee, and in a day 03117 of salvation 03444 have I helped 05826 thee: and I will preserve 05341 thee, and give 05414 thee for a covenant 01285 of the people 05971, to establish 06965 the earth 0776, to cause to inherit 05157 the desolate 08074 heritages 05159; establish: or, raise up
9 That thou mayest say 0559 to the prisoners 0631, Go forth 03318; to them that are in darkness 02822, Show 01540 yourselves. They shall feed 07462 in the ways 01870, and their pastures 04830 shall be in all high places 08205.
10 They shall not hunger 07456 nor thirst 06770; neither shall the heat 08273 nor sun 08121 smite 05221 them: for he that hath mercy 07355 on them shall lead 05090 them, even by the springs 04002 of water 04325 shall he guide 05095 them.
11 And I will make 07760 all my mountains 02022 a way 01870, and my highways 04546 shall be exalted 07311.
12 Behold, these shall come 0935 from far 07350: and, lo, these from the north 06828 and from the west 03220; and these from the land 0776 of Sinim 05515.
13 Sing 07442, O heavens 08064; and be joyful 01523, O earth 0776; and break forth 06476 into singing 07440, O mountains 02022: for the LORD 03068 hath comforted 05162 his people 05971, and will have mercy 07355 upon his afflicted 06041.
14 But Zion 06726 said 0559, The LORD 03068 hath forsaken 05800 me, and my Lord 0136 hath forgotten 07911 me.
15 Can a woman 0802 forget 07911 her nursing child 05764, that she should not have compassion 07355 on the son 01121 of her womb 0990? yea, they may forget 07911, yet I will not forget 07911 thee. that…: Heb. from having compassion
16 Behold, I have graven 02710 thee upon the palms of my hands 03709; thy walls 02346 are continually 08548 before me.
17 Thy children 01121 shall make haste 04116; thy destroyers 02040 and they that made thee waste 02717 shall go forth 03318 from thee.
18 Lift up 05375 thy eyes 05869 all around 05439, and behold 07200: all these gather themselves together 06908, and come 0935 to thee. As I live 02416, saith 05002 the LORD 03068, thou shalt surely clothe 03847 thee with them all, as with an ornament 05716, and bind 07194 them on thee, as a bride 03618 doeth.
19 For thy waste 02723 and thy desolate places 08074, and the land 0776 of thy destruction 02035, shall even now be too small 03334 by reason of the inhabitants 03427, and they that swallowed thee up 01104 shall be far away 07368.
20 The children 01121 who thou shalt have, after thou hast lost 07923 the other, shall say 0559 again in thy ears 0241, The place 04725 is too small 06862 for me: give 05066 place 04725 to me that I may dwell 03427.
21 Then shalt thou say 0559 in thy heart 03824, Who hath begotten 03205 these for me, seeing I have lost my children 07921, and am desolate 01565, a captive 01540, and moving to and fro 05493? and who hath brought up 01431 these? Behold, I was left 07604 alone; these, where 0375 have they been?
22 Thus saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069, Behold, I will lift up 05375 my hand 03027 to the Gentiles 01471, and set up 07311 my standard 05251 to the people 05971: and they shall bring 0935 thy sons 01121 in their arms 02684, and thy daughters 01323 shall be carried 05375 upon their shoulders 03802. arms: Heb. bosom
23 And kings 04428 shall be thy nursing fathers 0539, and their queens 08282 thy nursing mothers 03243: they shall bow 07812 to thee with their face 0639 toward the earth 0776, and lick up 03897 the dust 06083 of thy feet 07272; and thou shalt know 03045 that I am the LORD 03068: for they shall not be ashamed 0954 that wait 06960 for me. nursing fathers: Heb. nourishersqueens: Heb. princesses
24 Shall the prey 04455 be taken 03947 from the mighty 01368, or the lawful 06662 captive 07628 delivered 04422? lawful…: Heb. captivity of the just
25 But thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Even the captives 07628 of the mighty 01368 shall be taken away 03947, and the prey 04455 of the terrible 06184 shall be delivered 04422: for I will contend 07378 with him that contendeth 03401 with thee, and I will save 03467 thy children 01121. captives: Heb. captivity
26 And I will feed 0398 them that oppress 03238 thee with their own flesh 01320; and they shall be drunk 07937 with their own blood 01818, as with sweet wine 06071: and all flesh 01320 shall know 03045 that I the LORD 03068 am thy Saviour 03467 and thy Redeemer 01350, the mighty One 046 of Jacob 03290. sweet: or, new
1 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Where is the bill 05612 of your mother’s 0517 divorcement 03748, whom I have put away 07971? or whom of my creditors 05383 is it to whom I have sold 04376 you? Behold, for your iniquities 05771 have ye sold 04376 yourselves, and for your transgressions 06588 is your mother 0517 put away 07971.
2 Why, when I came 0935, was there no man 0376? when I called 07121, was there none to answer 06030? Is my hand 03027 shortened 07114 at all 07114, that it cannot redeem 06304? or have I no power 03581 to deliver 05337? behold, at my rebuke 01606 I dry up 02717 the sea 03220, I make 07760 the rivers 05104 a wilderness 04057: their fish 01710 stinketh 0887, because there is no water 04325, and dieth 04191 for thirst 06772.
3 I clothe 03847 the heavens 08064 with blackness 06940, and I make 07760 sackcloth 08242 their covering 03682.
4 The Lord 0136 GOD 03069 hath given 05414 me the tongue 03956 of the learned 03928, that I should know 03045 how to speak 05790 a word 01697 in season to him that is weary 03287: he awakeneth 05782 morning 01242 by morning 01242, he awakeneth 05782 my ear 0241 to hear 08085 as the learned 03928.
5 The Lord 0136 GOD 03069 opened 06605 my ear 0241, and I was not rebellious 04784, neither turned backward 05472, 268.
6 I gave 05414 my back 01460 to the smiters 05221, and my cheeks 03895 to them that plucked off 04803 the hair: I hid 05641 not my face 06440 from shame 03639 and spitting 07536.
7 For the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 will help 05826 me; therefore shall I not be confounded 03637: therefore have I set 07760 my face 06440 like a flint 02496, and I know 03045 that I shall not be ashamed 0954.
8 He is near 07138 that justifieth 06663 me; who will contend 07378 with me? let us stand 05975 together 03162: who is my adversary 01167, 4941? let him come near 05066 to me. mine…: Heb. the master of my cause?
9 Behold, the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 will help 05826 me; who is he that shall condemn 07561 me? lo, they all shall grow old 01086 as a garment 0899; the moth 06211 shall eat them up 0398.
10 Who is among you that feareth 03373 the LORD 03068, that obeyeth 08085 the voice 06963 of his servant 05650, that walketh 01980 in darkness 02825, and hath no light 05051? let him trust 0982 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, and rely 08172 upon his God 0430.
11 Behold, all ye that kindle 06919 a fire 0784, that surround yourselves 0247 with sparks 02131: walk 03212 in the light 0217 of your fire 0784, and in the sparks 02131 that ye have kindled 01197. This shall ye have of my hand 03027; ye shall lie down 07901 in sorrow 04620.
1 Hearken 08085 to me, ye that follow after 07291 righteousness 06664, ye that seek 01245 the LORD 03068: look 05027 to the rock 06697 from which ye are hewn 02672, and to the hole 04718 of the pit 0953 from which ye are dug 05365.
2 Look 05027 to Abraham 085 your father 01, and to Sarah 08283 that bore 02342 you: for I called 07121 him alone 0259, and blessed 01288 him, and increased 07235 him.
3 For the LORD 03068 shall comfort 05162 Zion 06726: he will comfort 05162 all her waste places 02723; and he will make 07760 her wilderness 04057 like Eden 05731, and her desert 06160 like the garden 01588 of the LORD 03068; joy 08342 and gladness 08057 shall be found 04672 in it, thanksgiving 08426, and the voice 06963 of melody 02172.
4 Hearken 07181 to me, my people 05971; and give ear 0238 to me, O my nation 03816: for a law 08451 shall proceed 03318 from me, and I will make my judgment 04941 to rest 07280 for a light 0216 of the people 05971.
5 My righteousness 06664 is near 07138; my salvation 03468 is gone forth 03318, and my arms 02220 shall judge 08199 the people 05971; the isles 0339 shall wait 06960 upon me, and on my arm 02220 shall they trust 03176.
6 Lift up 05375 your eyes 05869 to the heavens 08064, and look 05027 upon the earth 0776 beneath: for the heavens 08064 shall vanish away 04414 like smoke 06227, and the earth 0776 shall become old 01086 like a garment 0899, and its inhabitants 03427 shall die 04191 in like 03644 manner 03654: but my salvation 03444 shall be for ever 05769, and my righteousness 06666 shall not be abolished 02865.
7 Hearken 08085 to me, ye that know 03045 righteousness 06664, the people 05971 in whose heart 03820 is my law 08451; fear 03372 ye not the reproach 02781 of men 0582, neither be ye afraid 02865 of their revilings 01421.
8 For the moth 06211 shall eat them 0398 like a garment 0899, and the worm 05580 shall eat 0398 them like wool 06785: but my righteousness 06666 shall be for ever 05769, and my salvation 03444 from generation 01755 to generation 01755.
9 Awake 05782, awake 05782, put on 03847 thy strength 05797, O arm 02220 of the LORD 03068; awake 05782, as in the ancient 06924 days 03117, in the generations 01755 of old 05769. Art thou not that which hath cut 02672 Rahab 07294, and wounded 02490 the dragon 08577?
10 Art thou not that which hath dried 02717 the sea 03220, the waters 04325 of the great 07227 deep 08415; that hath made 07760 the depths 04615 of the sea 03220 a way 01870 for the ransomed 01350 to pass over 05674?
11 Therefore the redeemed 06299 of the LORD 03068 shall return 07725, and come 0935 with singing 07440 to Zion 06726; and everlasting 05769 joy 08057 shall be upon their head 07218: they shall obtain 05381 gladness 08342 and joy 08057; sorrow 03015 and mourning 0585 shall flee away 05127.
12 I, even I, am he that comforteth 05162 you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid 03372 of a man 0582 that shall die 04191, and of the son 01121 of man 0120 who shall be made 05414 as grass 02682;
13 And forgettest 07911 the LORD 03068 thy maker 06213, that hath stretched forth 05186 the heavens 08064, and laid the foundations 03245 of the earth 0776; and hast feared 06342 continually 08548 every day 03117 because 06440 of the fury 02534 of the oppressor 06693, as if 0834 he were ready 03559 to destroy 07843? and where is the fury 02534 of the oppressor 06693? were…: or, made himself ready
14 The captive exile 06808 hasteneth 04116 that he may be loosed 06605, and that he should not die 04191 in the pit 07845, nor that his bread 03899 should fail 02637.
15 But I am the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, that divided 07280 the sea 03220, whose waves 01530 roared 01993: The LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 is his name 08034.
16 And I have put 07760 my words 01697 in thy mouth 06310, and have covered 03680 thee in the shadow 06738 of my hand 03027, that I may plant 05193 the heavens 08064, and lay the foundations 03245 of the earth 0776, and say 0559 to Zion 06726, Thou art my people 05971.
17 Awake 05782, awake 05782, stand up 06965, O Jerusalem 03389, which hast drunk 08354 at the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068 the cup 03563 of his fury 02534; thou hast drank 08354 the dregs 06907 of the cup 03563 of trembling 08653, and wrung them out 04680.
18 There is none to guide 05095 her among all the sons 01121 whom she hath brought forth 03205; neither is there any that taketh 02388 her by the hand 03027 of all the sons 01121 that she hath brought up 01431.
19 These two 08147 things have come 07122 to thee; who shall be sorry 05110 for thee? desolation 07701, and destruction 07667, and famine 07458, and the sword 02719: by whom shall I comfort 05162 thee? are…: Heb. happeneddestruction: Heb. breaking
20 Thy sons 01121 have fainted 05968, they lie 07901 at the head 07218 of all the streets 02351, as a wild bull 08377 in a net 04364: they are full 04392 of the fury 02534 of the LORD 03068, the rebuke 01606 of thy God 0430.
21 Therefore hear 08085 now this, thou afflicted 06041, and drunk 07937, but not with wine 03196:
22 Thus saith 0559 thy Lord 0113 Jehovah 03068, and thy God 0430 that pleadeth 07378 the cause of his people 05971, Behold, I have taken out 03947 of thy hand 03027 the cup 03563 of trembling 08653, even the dregs 06907 of the cup 03563 of my fury 02534; thou shalt no more 03254 drink it again 08354:
23 But I will put 07760 it into the hand 03027 of them that afflict 03013 thee; who have said 0559 to thy soul 05315, Bow down 07812, that we may go over 05674: and thou hast laid 07760 thy body 01460 as the ground 0776, and as the street 02351, to them that went over 05674.
1 Awake 05782, awake 05782; put on 03847 thy strength 05797, O Zion 06726; put on 03847 thy beautiful 08597 garments 0899, O Jerusalem 03389, the holy 06944 city 05892: for henceforth there shall no more 03254 come 0935 into thee the uncircumcised 06189 and the unclean 02931.
2 Shake 05287 thyself from the dust 06083; arise 06965, and sit down 03427, O Jerusalem 03389: loose 06605 thyself from the bands 04147 of thy neck 06677, O captive 07628 daughter 01323 of Zion 06726.
3 For thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Ye have sold 04376 yourselves for nothing 02600; and ye shall be redeemed 01350 without money 03701.
4 For thus saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069, My people 05971 went down 03381 in times past 07223 into Egypt 04714 to sojourn 01481 there; and the Assyrian 0804 oppressed 06231 them without cause 0657.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith 05002 the LORD 03068, that my people 05971 is taken away 03947 for nothing 02600? they that rule 04910 over them make them to wail 03213, saith 05002 the LORD 03068; and my name 08034 continually 08548 every day 03117 is blasphemed 05006.
6 Therefore my people 05971 shall know 03045 my name 08034: therefore they shall know in that day 03117 that I am he that doth speak 01696: behold, it is I.
7 How beautiful 04998 upon the mountains 02022 are the feet 07272 of him that bringeth good tidings 01319, that proclaimeth 08085 peace 07965; that bringeth good tidings 01319 of good 02896, that proclaimeth 08085 salvation 03444; that saith 0559 to Zion 06726, Thy God 0430 reigneth 04427!
8 Thy watchmen 06822 shall lift up 05375 the voice 06963; with the voice 06963 together 03162 shall they sing 07442: for they shall see 07200 eye 05869 to eye 05869, when the LORD 03068 shall bring again 07725 Zion 06726.
9 Break forth into joy 06476, sing 07442 together 03162, ye waste places 02723 of Jerusalem 03389: for the LORD 03068 hath comforted 05162 his people 05971, he hath redeemed 01350 Jerusalem 03389.
10 The LORD 03068 hath made bare 02834 his holy 06944 arm 02220 in the eyes 05869 of all the nations 01471; and all the ends 0657 of the earth 0776 shall see 07200 the salvation 03444 of our God 0430.
11 Depart 05493 ye, depart 05493 ye, go ye out 03318 from there, touch 05060 no unclean 02931 thing; go ye out 03318 of the midst 08432 of her; be ye clean 01305, that bear 05375 the vessels 03627 of the LORD 03068.
12 For ye shall not go out 03318 with haste 02649, nor go 03212 by flight 04499: for the LORD 03068 will go 01980 before 06440 you; and the God 0430 of Israel 03478 will be your rear guard 0622. be…: Heb. gather you up
13 Behold, my servant 05650 shall deal prudently 07919, he shall be exalted 07311 and extolled 05375, and be very 03966 high 01361. deal…: or, prosper
14 As many 07227 were astonished 08074 at thee; his visage 04758 was so marred 04893 more than any man 0376, and his form 08389 more than the sons 01121 of men 0120:
15 So shall he sprinkle 05137 many 07227 nations 01471; the kings 04428 shall shut 07092 their mouths 06310 at him: for that which had not been told 05608 them shall they see 07200; and that which they had not heard 08085 shall they consider 0995.
1 Who hath believed 0539 our report 08052? and to whom is the arm 02220 of the LORD 03068 revealed 01540? report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?
2 For he shall grow up 05927 before 06440 him as a tender plant 03126, and as a root 08328 out of a dry 06723 ground 0776: he hath no form 08389 nor comeliness 01926; and when we shall see 07200 him, there is no beauty 04758 that we should desire 02530 him.
3 He is despised 0959 and rejected 02310 by men 0376; a man 0376 of sorrows 04341, and acquainted 03045 with grief 02483: and we hid as it were 04564 our faces 06440 from him; he was despised 0959, and we esteemed 02803 him not. we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us
4 Surely 0403 he hath borne 05375 our griefs 02483, and carried 05445 our sorrows 04341: yet we did esteem 02803 him stricken 05060, smitten 05221 by God 0430, and afflicted 06031.
5 But he was wounded 02490 for our transgressions 06588, he was bruised 01792 for our iniquities 05771: the chastisement 04148 for our peace 07965 was upon him; and with his stripes 02250 we are healed 07495. wounded: or, tormentedstripes: Heb. bruise
6 All we like sheep 06629 have gone astray 08582; we have turned 06437 every one 0376 to his own way 01870; and the LORD 03068 hath laid 06293 on him the iniquity 05771 of us all. laid…: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him
7 He was oppressed 05065, and he was afflicted 06031, yet he opened 06605 not his mouth 06310: he is brought 02986 as a lamb 07716 to the slaughter 02874, and as a sheep 07353 before 06440 her shearers 01494 is dumb 0481, so he opened 06605 not his mouth 06310.
8 He was taken 03947 from prison 06115 and from judgment 04941: and who shall declare 07878 his generation 01755? for he was cut off 01504 from the land 0776 of the living 02416: for the transgression 06588 of my people 05971 was he stricken 05061. from prison…: or, away by distress and judgment: but, etcwas he…: Heb. was the stroke upon him
9 And he made 05414 his grave 06913 with the wicked 07563, and with the rich 06223 in his death 04194; because he had done 06213 no violence 02555, neither was any deceit 04820 in his mouth 06310. death: Heb. deaths
10 Yet it pleased 02654 the LORD 03068 to bruise 01792 him; he hath put him to grief 02470: when thou shalt make 07760 his soul 05315 an offering for sin 0817, he shall see 07200 his seed 02233, he shall prolong 0748 his days 03117, and the pleasure 02656 of the LORD 03068 shall prosper 06743 in his hand 03027. thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering
11 He shall see 07200 of the travail 05999 of his soul 05315, and shall be satisfied 07646: by his knowledge 01847 shall my righteous 06662 servant 05650 justify 06663 many 07227; for he shall bear 05445 their iniquities 05771.
12 Therefore will I divide 02505 him a portion with the great 07227, and he shall divide 02505 the spoil 07998 with the strong 06099; because he hath poured out 06168 his soul 05315 to death 04194: and he was numbered 04487 with the transgressors 06586; and he bore 05375 the sin 02399 of many 07227, and made intercession 06293 for the transgressors 06586.
1 Sing 07442, O barren 06135, thou that didst not bear 03205; break forth 06476 into singing 07440, and cry aloud 06670, thou that didst not travail with child 02342: for more 07227 are the children 01121 of the desolate 08074 than the children 01121 of the married wife 01166, saith 0559 the LORD 03068.
2 Enlarge 07337 the place 04725 of thy tent 0168, and let them extend 05186 the curtains 03407 of thy habitations 04908: spare 02820 not, lengthen 0748 thy cords 04340, and strengthen 02388 thy stakes 03489;
3 For thou shalt break forth 06555 on the right hand 03225 and on the left 08040; and thy seed 02233 shall inherit 03423 the Gentiles 01471, and make the desolate 08074 cities 05892 to be inhabited 03427.
4 Fear 03372 not; for thou shalt not be ashamed 0954: neither be thou confounded 03637; for thou shalt not be put to shame 02659: for thou shalt forget 07911 the shame 01322 of thy youth 05934, and shalt not remember 02142 the reproach 02781 of thy widowhood 0491 any more.
5 For thy Maker 06213 is thy husband 01166; the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 is his name 08034; and thy Redeemer 01350 the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478; The God 0430 of the whole earth 0776 shall he be called 07121. Maker: Heb. Makers
6 For the LORD 03068 hath called 07121 thee as a woman 0802 forsaken 05800 and grieved 06087 in spirit 07307, and a wife 0802 of youth 05271, when thou wast refused 03988, saith 0559 thy God 0430.
7 For a small 06996 moment 07281 have I forsaken 05800 thee; but with great 01419 mercies 07356 will I gather 06908 thee.
8 In a little 08241 wrath 07110 I hid 05641 my face 06440 from thee for a moment 07281; but with everlasting 05769 kindness 02617 will I have mercy 07355 on thee, saith 0559 the LORD 03068 thy Redeemer 01350.
9 For this is as the waters 04325 of Noah 05146 to me: for as I have sworn 07650 that the waters 04325 of Noah 05146 shall no more overflow 05674 the earth 0776; so have I sworn 07650 that I will not be angry 07107 with thee, nor rebuke 01605 thee.
10 For the mountains 02022 shall depart 04185, and the hills 01389 be removed 04131; but my kindness 02617 shall not depart 04185 from thee, neither shall the covenant 01285 of my peace 07965 be removed 04131, saith 0559 the LORD 03068 that hath mercy 07355 on thee.
11 O thou afflicted 06041, tossed with tempest 05590, and not comforted 05162, behold, I will lay 07257 thy stones 068 with fair colours 06320, and lay thy foundations 03245 with sapphires 05601.
12 And I will make 07760 thy windows 08121 of agates 03539, and thy gates 08179 of carbuncles 068, 688, and all thy borders 01366 of pleasant 02656 stones 068.
13 And all thy children 01121 shall be taught 03928 from the LORD 03068; and great 07227 shall be the peace 07965 of thy children 01121.
14 In righteousness 06666 shalt thou be established 03559: thou shalt be far 07368 from oppression 06233; for thou shalt not fear 03372: and from terror 04288; for it shall not come near 07126 thee.
15 Behold, they shall surely 01481 gather together 01481, but not 0657 by me: whoever 04310 shall gather together 01481 against thee shall fall 05307 for thy sake.
16 Behold, I have created 01254 the smith 02796 that bloweth 05301 the coals 06352 in the fire 0784, and that bringeth forth 03318 an instrument 03627 for his work 04639; and I have created 01254 the waster 07843 to destroy 02254.
17 No weapon 03627 that is formed 03335 against thee shall prosper 06743; and every tongue 03956 that shall rise 06965 against thee in judgment 04941 thou shalt condemn 07561. This is the heritage 05159 of the servants 05650 of the LORD 03068, and their righteousness 06666 is from me, saith 05002 the LORD 03068.
1 Ho 01945, every one that thirsteth 06771, come 03212 ye to the waters 04325, and he that hath no money 03701; come 03212 ye, buy 07666, and eat 0398; yea, come 03212, buy 07666 wine 03196 and milk 02461 without money 03701 and without price 04242.
2 Why do ye spend 08254 money 03701 for that which is not bread 03899? and your labour 03018 for that which satisfieth 07654 not 03808? hearken 08085 diligently 08085 to me, and eat 0398 ye that which is good 02896, and let your soul 05315 delight 06026 itself in fatness 01880. spend: Heb. weigh
3 Incline 05186 your ear 0241, and come 03212 to me: hear 08085, and your soul 05315 shall live 02421; and I will make 03772 an everlasting 05769 covenant 01285 with you, even the sure 0539 mercies 02617 of David 01732.
4 Behold, I have given 05414 him for a witness 05707 to the people 03816, a leader 05057 and commander 06680 to the people 03816.
5 Behold, thou shalt call 07121 a nation 01471 that thou knowest 03045 not, and nations 01471 that knew 03045 not thee shall run 07323 to thee because of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and for the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478; for he hath glorified 06286 thee.
6 Seek 01875 ye the LORD 03068 while he may be found 04672, call 07121 ye upon him while he is near 07138:
7 Let the wicked 07563 forsake 05800 his way 01870, and the unrighteous 0205 man 0376 his thoughts 04284: and let him return 07725 to the LORD 03068, and he will have mercy 07355 upon him; and to our God 0430, for he will abundantly 07235 pardon 05545. the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquityabundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon
8 For my thoughts 04284 are not your thoughts 04284, neither are your ways 01870 my ways 01870, saith 05002 the LORD 03068.
9 For as the heavens 08064 are higher 01361 than the earth 0776, so are my ways 01870 higher 01361 than your ways 01870, and my thoughts 04284 than your thoughts 04284.
10 For as the rain 01653 cometh down 03381, and the snow 07950 from heaven 08064, and returneth 07725 not there, but watereth 07301 the earth 0776, and maketh it bring forth 03205 and bud 06779, that it may give 05414 seed 02233 to the sower 02232, and bread 03899 to the eater 0398:
11 So shall my word 01697 be that proceedeth 03318 from my mouth 06310: it shall not return 07725 to me void 07387, but it shall accomplish 06213 that which I please 02654, and it shall prosper 06743 in the thing for which I sent 07971 it.
12 For ye shall go out 03318 with joy 08057, and be led forth 02986 with peace 07965: the mountains 02022 and the hills 01389 shall break forth 06476 before 06440 you into singing 07440, and all the trees 06086 of the field 07704 shall clap 04222 their hands 03709.
13 Instead of the thorn 05285 shall come up 05927 the fir tree 01265, and instead of the brier 05636 shall come up 05927 the myrtle tree 01918: and it shall be to the LORD 03068 for a name 08034, for an everlasting 05769 sign 0226 that shall not be cut off 03772.
1 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Keep 08104 ye judgment 04941, and do 06213 justice 06666: for my salvation 03444 is near 07138 to come 0935, and my righteousness 06666 to be revealed 01540. judgment: or, equity
2 Blessed 0835 is the man 0582 that doeth 06213 this, and the son 01121 of man 0120 that layeth hold 02388 on it; that keepeth 08104 the sabbath 07676 from profaning 02490 it, and keepeth 08104 his hand 03027 from doing 06213 any evil 07451.
3 Neither let the son 01121 of the foreigner 05236, that hath joined 03867 himself to the LORD 03068, speak 0559, saying 0559, The LORD 03068 hath utterly 0914 separated 0914 me from his people 05971: neither let the eunuch 05631 say 0559, Behold, I am a dry 03002 tree 06086.
4 For thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068 to the eunuchs 05631 that keep 08104 my sabbaths 07676, and choose 0977 the things that please 02654 me, and take hold 02388 of my covenant 01285;
5 Even to them will I give 05414 in my house 01004 and within my walls 02346 a place 03027 and a name 08034 better 02896 than of sons 01121 and of daughters 01323: I will give 05414 them an everlasting 05769 name 08034, that shall not be cut off 03772.
6 Also the sons 01121 of the foreigner 05236, that join 03867 themselves to the LORD 03068, to serve 08334 him, and to love 0157 the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, to be his servants 05650, every one that keepeth 08104 the sabbath 07676 from profaning 02490 it, and taketh hold 02388 of my covenant 01285;
7 Even them will I bring 0935 to my holy 06944 mountain 02022, and make them joyful 08055 in my house 01004 of prayer 08605: their burnt offerings 05930 and their sacrifices 02077 shall be accepted 07522 upon my altar 04196; for my house 01004 shall be called 07121 an house 01004 of prayer 08605 for all people 05971.
8 The Lord 0136 GOD 03069 who gathereth 06908 the outcasts 01760 of Israel 03478, 5002, Yet will I gather 06908 others to him, besides those that are gathered 06908 to him. beside…: Heb. to his gathered

10 His watchmen 06822 are blind 05787: they are all ignorant 03045, they are all dumb 0483 dogs 03611, they cannot 03201 bark 05024; sleeping 01957, lying down 07901, loving 0157 to slumber 05123. sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep
11 Yea, they are greedy 05794, 5315 dogs 03611 which can 03045 never have 03045 enough 07654, and they are shepherds 07462 that cannot understand 0995: they all look 06437 to their own way 01870, every one 0376 for his gain 01215, from his quarter 07097. greedy: Heb. strong of appetitecan…: Heb. know not to be satisfied
12 Come 0857 ye, say they, I will bring 03947 wine 03196, and we will fill 05433 ourselves with strong drink 07941; and to morrow 04279 shall be as this day 03117, and much 03966 more 03499 abundant 01419.
1 The righteous 06662 perisheth 06, and no man 0376 layeth 07760 it to heart 03820: and merciful 02617 men 0582 are taken away 0622, none considering 0995 that the righteous 06662 is taken away 0622 from 06440 the evil 07451 to come. merciful…: Heb. men of kindness, or, godlinessfrom…: or, from that which is evil

3 But come 07126 here, ye sons 01121 of the sorceress 06049, the seed 02233 of the adulterer 05003 and the harlot 02181.
4 Against whom do ye sport 06026 yourselves? against whom make ye a wide 07337 mouth 06310, and stick out 0748 the tongue 03956? are ye not children 03206 of transgression 06588, a seed 02233 of falsehood 08267,
5 Inflaming 02552 yourselves with idols 0410 under every green 07488 tree 06086, slaying 07819 the children 03206 in the valleys 05158 under the clefts 05585 of the rocks 05553? with…: or, among the oaks
6 Among the smooth 02511 stones of the stream 05158 is thy portion 02506; they, they are thy lot 01486: even to them hast thou poured 08210 a drink offering 05262, thou hast offered 05927 a meat offering 04503. Should I receive comfort 05162 in these?
7 Upon a lofty 01364 and high 05375 mountain 02022 hast thou set 07760 thy bed 04904: even there thou wentest up 05927 to offer 02076 sacrifice 02077.
8 Behind 0310 the doors 01817 also and the door posts 04201 hast thou set up 07760 thy remembrance 02146: for thou hast uncovered 01540 thyself to another than me, and hast gone up 05927; thou hast enlarged 07337 thy bed 04904, and made 03772 thee a covenant with them; thou didst love 0157 their bed 04904 where 03027 thou sawest 02372 it. made…: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirswhere…: or, thou providedst room
9 And thou wentest 07788 to the king 04428 with ointment 08081, and didst increase 07235 thy perfumes 07547, and didst send 07971 thy messengers 06735 far off 07350, and didst debase 08213 thyself even to hell 07585. thou…: or, thou respectedst
10 Thou art wearied 03021 in the greatness 07230 of thy way 01870; yet saidst 0559 thou not, There is no hope 02976: thou hast found 04672 the life 02416 of thy hand 03027; therefore thou wast not grieved 02470. life: or, living
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid 01672 or feared 03372, that thou hast lied 03576, and hast not remembered 02142 me, nor laid 07760 it to thy heart 03820? have not I held my peace 02814 even of old 05769, and thou fearest 03372 me not?
12 I will declare 05046 thy righteousness 06666, and thy works 04639; for they shall not profit 03276 thee.
13 When thou criest 02199, let thy companies 06899 deliver 05337 thee; but the wind 07307 shall carry them all away 05375; vanity 01892 shall take 03947 them: but he that putteth his trust 02620 in me shall possess 05157 the land 0776, and shall inherit 03423 my holy 06944 mountain 02022;
14 And shall say 0559, Cast ye up 05549, cast ye up 05549, prepare 06437 the way 01870, take up 07311 the stumblingblock 04383 out of the way 01870 of my people 05971.
15 For thus saith 0559 the high 07311 and lofty One 05375 that inhabiteth 07931 eternity 05703, whose name 08034 is Holy 06918; I dwell 07931 in the high 04791 and holy 06918 place, with him also that is of a contrite 01793 and humble 08217 spirit 07307, to revive 02421 the spirit 07307 of the humble 08217, and to revive 02421 the heart 03820 of the contrite ones 01792.
16 For I will not contend 07378 for ever 05769, neither will I be always 05331 angry 07107: for the spirit 07307 should fail 05848 before 06440 me, and the souls 05397 whom I have made 06213.
17 For the iniquity 05771 of his covetousness 01215 I was angry 07107, and smote 05221 him: I hid 05641 myself, and was angry 07107, and he went on 03212 backsliding 07726 in the way 01870 of his heart 03820. frowardly: Heb. turning away
18 I have seen 07200 his ways 01870, and will heal 07495 him: I will lead 05148 him also, and restore 07999 comforts 05150 to him and to his mourners 057.
19 I create 01254 the fruit 05108 of the lips 08193; Peace 07965, peace 07965 to him that is far off 07350, and to him that is near 07138, saith 0559 the LORD 03068; and I will heal 07495 him.
20 But the wicked 07563 are like the troubled 01644 sea 03220, when it cannot 03201 rest 08252, whose waters 04325 cast up 01644 mire 07516 and dirt 02916.
21 There is no peace 07965, saith 0559 my God 0430, to the wicked 07563.
1 Cry 07121 aloud 01627, spare 02820 not, lift 07311 up thy voice 06963 like a trumpet 07782, and show 05046 my people 05971 their transgression 06588, and the house 01004 of Jacob 03290 their sins 02403. aloud: Heb. with the throat
2 Yet they seek 01875 me daily 03117, 3117, and delight 02654 to know 01847 my ways 01870, as a nation 01471 that did 06213 righteousness 06666, and forsook 05800 not the ordinance 04941 of their God 0430: they ask 07592 of me the ordinances 04941 of justice 06664; they take delight 02654 in approaching 07132 to God 0430.
3 Why have we fasted 06684, say they, and thou seest 07200 not? why have we afflicted 06031 our soul 05315, and thou takest no knowledge 03045? Behold, in the day 03117 of your fast 06685 ye find 04672 pleasure 02656, and exact 05065 all your labours 06092. labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs
4 Behold, ye fast 06684 for strife 07379 and debate 04683, and to smite 05221 with the fist 0106 of wickedness 07562: ye shall not fast 06684 as ye do this day 03117, to make your voice 06963 to be heard 08085 on high 04791. ye shall…: or, ye fast not as this day
5 Is it such a fast 06685 that I have chosen 0977? a day 03117 for a man 0120 to afflict 06031 his soul 05315? is it to bow down 03721 his head 07218 as a bulrush 0100, and to spread 03331 sackcloth 08242 and ashes 0665 under him? wilt thou call 07121 this 02088 a fast 06685, and an acceptable 07522 day 03117 to the LORD 03068? a day…: or, to afflict his soul for a day?
6 Is not this the fast 06685 that I have chosen 0977? to loose 06605 the bands 02784 of wickedness 07562, to undo 05425 the heavy 04133 burdens 092, and to let the oppressed 07533 go 07971 free 02670, and that ye break 05423 every yoke 04133? the heavy…: Heb. the bundles of the yokeoppressed: Heb. broken
7 Is it not to deal 06536 thy bread 03899 to the hungry 07457, and that thou shouldest bring 0935 the poor 06041 that are cast out 04788 to thy house 01004? when thou seest 07200 the naked 06174, that thou shouldest cover 03680 him; and that thou shouldest not hide 05956 thyself from thy own flesh 01320? cast…: or, afflicted
8 Then shall thy light 0216 break forth 01234 as the morning 07837, and thy health 0724 shall spring forth 06779 speedily 04120: and thy righteousness 06664 shall go 01980 before 06440 thee; the glory 03519 of the LORD 03068 shall be thy rear guard 0622. be…: Heb. gather thee up
9 Then shalt thou call 07121, and the LORD 03068 shall answer 06030; thou shalt cry 07768, and he shall say 0559, Here I am. If thou shalt take away 05493 from the midst 08432 of thee the yoke 04133, the putting forth 07971 of the finger 0676, and speaking 01696 vanity 0205;
10 And if thou shalt draw out 06329 thy soul 05315 to the hungry 07457, and satisfy 07646 the afflicted 06031 soul 05315; then shall thy light 0216 rise 02224 in obscurity 02822, and thy darkness 0653 be as the noonday 06672:
11 And the LORD 03068 shall guide 05148 thee continually 08548, and satisfy 07646 thy soul 05315 in drought 06710, and make fat 02502 thy bones 06106: and thou shalt be like a watered 07302 garden 01588, and like a spring 04161 of water 04325, whose waters 04325 fail 03576 not. drought: Heb. droughtsfail: Heb. lie, or, deceive
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build 01129 the old 05769 waste places 02723: thou shalt raise up 06965 the foundations 04146 of many 01755 generations 01755; and thou shalt be called 07121, The repairer 01443 of the breach 06556, The restorer 07725 of paths 05410 to dwell in 03427.
13 If thou shalt turn away 07725 thy foot 07272 from the sabbath 07676, from doing 06213 thy pleasure 02656 on my holy 06944 day 03117; and call 07121 the sabbath 07676 a delight 06027, the holy 06918 of the LORD 03068, honourable 03513; and shalt honour 03513 him, not doing 06213 thy own ways 01870, nor finding 04672 thy own pleasure 02656, nor speaking 01696 thy own words 01697:
14 Then shalt thou delight 06026 thyself in the LORD 03068; and I will cause thee to ride 07392 upon the high places 01116 of the earth 0776, and feed 0398 thee with the heritage 05159 of Jacob 03290 thy father 01: for the mouth 06310 of the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 it.
1 Behold 02005, the LORD’S 03068 hand 03027 is not shortened 07114, that it cannot save 03467; neither his ear 0241 heavy 03513, that it cannot hear 08085:
2 But your iniquities 05771 have separated 0914 between 0996 you and your God 0430, and your sins 02403 have hid 05641 his face 06440 from you, that he will not hear 08085. have hid: or, have made him hide
3 For your hands 03709 are defiled 01351 with blood 01818, and your fingers 0676 with iniquity 05771; your lips 08193 have spoken 01696 lies 08267, your tongue 03956 hath uttered 01897 perverseness 05766.
4 None calleth 07121 for justice 06664, nor any pleadeth 08199 for truth 0530: they trust 0982 in vanity 08414, and speak 01696 lies 07723; they conceive 02029 mischief 05999, and bring forth 03205 iniquity 0205.
5 They hatch 01234 eggs 01000 of an adder 06848, and weave 0707 the spider’s 05908 web 06980: he that eateth 0398 of their eggs 01000 dieth 04191, and that which is crushed 02116 breaketh out 01234 into a viper 0660. cockatrice’: or, adder’scrushed…: or, sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper
6 Their webs 06980 shall not become garments 0899, neither shall they cover 03680 themselves with their works 04639: their works 04639 are works 04639 of iniquity 0205, and the act 06467 of violence 02555 is in their hands 03709.
7 Their feet 07272 run 07323 to evil 07451, and they make haste 04116 to shed 08210 innocent 05355 blood 01818: their thoughts 04284 are thoughts 04284 of iniquity 0205; wasting 07701 and destruction 07667 are in their paths 04546. destruction: Heb. breaking
8 The way 01870 of peace 07965 they know 03045 not; and there is no judgment 04941 in their goings 04570: they have made them crooked 06140 paths 05410: whoever goeth 01869 in it shall not know 03045 peace 07965. judgment: or, right
9 Therefore is judgment 04941 far 07368 from us, neither doth justice 06666 overtake 05381 us: we wait 06960 for light 0216, but behold obscurity 02822; for brightness 05054, but we walk 01980 in darkness 0653.
10 We grope 01659 for the wall 07023 like the blind 05787, and we grope 01659 as if we had no eyes 05869: we stumble 03782 at noonday 06672 as in the night 05399; we are in desolate 0820 places as dead 04191 men.
11 We all roar 01993 like bears 01677, and mourn 01897 bitterly 01897 like doves 03123: we look 06960 for judgment 04941, but there is none; for salvation 03444, but it is far 07368 from us.
12 For our transgressions 06588 are multiplied 07231 before thee, and our sins 02403 testify 06030 against us: for our transgressions 06588 are with us; and as for our iniquities 05771, we know 03045 them;
13 In transgressing 06586 and lying 03584 against the LORD 03068, and departing away 05253 from 0310 our God 0430, speaking 01696 oppression 06233 and revolt 05627, conceiving 02029 and uttering 01897 from the heart 03820 words 01697 of falsehood 08267.
14 And judgment 04941 is turned away 05253 backward 0268, and justice 06666 standeth 05975 afar off 07350: for truth 0571 is fallen 03782 in the street 07339, and equity 05229 cannot 03201 enter 0935.
15 Yea, truth 0571 faileth 05737; and he that departeth 05493 from evil 07451 maketh himself a prey 07997: and the LORD 03068 saw 07200 it, and it displeased 03415, 5869 him that there was no judgment 04941. maketh…: or, is accounted madit displeased…: Heb. it was evil in his eyes
16 And he saw 07200 that there was no man 0376, and wondered 08074 that there was no intercessor 06293: therefore his arm 02220 brought salvation 03467 to him; and his righteousness 06666, it sustained 05564 him.
17 For he put on 03847 righteousness 06666 as a breastplate 08302, and an helmet 03553 of salvation 03444 upon his head 07218; and he put on 03847 the garments 0899 of vengeance 05359 for clothing 08516, and was clad 05844 with zeal 07068 as a cloke 04598.
18 According to 05921 their deeds 01578, accordingly he will repay 07999, fury 02534 to his adversaries 06862, recompence 01576 to his enemies 0341; to the isles 0339 he will repay 07999 recompence 01576. deeds: Heb. recompences
19 So shall they fear 03372 the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 from the west 04628, and his glory 03519 from the rising 04217 of the sun 08121. When the enemy 06862 shall come in 0935 like a flood 05104, the Spirit 07307 of the LORD 03068 shall lift up a standard 05127 against him. lift…: or, put him to flight
20 And the Redeemer 01350 shall come 0935 to Zion 06726, and to them that turn 07725 from transgression 06588 in Jacob 03290, saith 05002 the LORD 03068.
21 As for me, this is my covenant 01285 with them, saith 0559 the LORD 03068; My spirit 07307 that is upon thee, and my words 01697 which I have put 07760 in thy mouth 06310, shall not depart 04185 out of thy mouth 06310, nor out of the mouth 06310 of thy seed 02233, nor out of the mouth 06310 of thy seed’s 02233 seed 02233, saith 0559 the LORD 03068, from henceforth and for 05704 ever 05769.
1 Arise 06965, shine 0215; for thy light 0216 is come 0935, and the glory 03519 of the LORD 03068 is risen 02224 upon thee. shine…: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh
2 For, behold, the darkness 02822 shall cover 03680 the earth 0776, and gross darkness 06205 the people 03816: but the LORD 03068 shall arise 02224 upon thee, and his glory 03519 shall be seen 07200 upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles 01471 shall come 01980 to thy light 0216, and kings 04428 to the brightness 05051 of thy rising 02225.
4 Lift up 05375 thy eyes 05869 around 05439, and see 07200: all they gather themselves together 06908, they come 0935 to thee: thy sons 01121 shall come 0935 from far 07350, and thy daughters 01323 shall be nursed 0539 at thy side 06654.
5 Then thou shalt see 07200, 3372, and flow together 05102, and thy heart 03824 shall fear 06342, and be enlarged 07337; because the abundance 01995 of the sea 03220 shall be converted 02015 to thee, the forces 02428 of the Gentiles 01471 shall come 0935 to thee. abundance…: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward theeforces: or, wealth
6 The multitude 08229 of camels 01581 shall cover 03680 thee, the dromedaries 01070 of Midian 04080 and Ephah 05891; all they from Sheba 07614 shall come 0935: they shall bring 05375 gold 02091 and incense 03828; and they shall show forth 01319 the praises 08416 of the LORD 03068.
7 All the flocks 06629 of Kedar 06938 shall be gathered together 06908 to thee, the rams 0352 of Nebaioth 05032 shall minister 08334 to thee: they shall come up 05927 with acceptance 07522 on my altar 04196, and I will glorify 06286 the house 01004 of my glory 08597.
8 Who are these that fly 05774 as a cloud 05645, and as doves 03123 to their windows 0699?
9 Surely the isles 0339 shall wait 06960 for me, and the ships 0591 of Tarshish 08659 first 07223, to bring 0935 thy sons 01121 from far 07350, their silver 03701 and their gold 02091 with them, to the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and to the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478, because he hath glorified 06286 thee.
10 And the sons 01121 of foreigners 05236 shall build up 01129 thy walls 02346, and their kings 04428 shall minister 08334 to thee: for in my wrath 07110 I smote 05221 thee, but in my favour 07522 have I had mercy 07355 on thee.
11 Therefore thy gates 08179 shall be open 06605 continually 08548; they shall not be shut 05462 day 03119 nor night 03915; that men may bring 0935 to thee the forces 02428 of the Gentiles 01471, and that their kings 04428 may be brought 05090. forces: or, wealth
12 For the nation 01471 and kingdom 04467 that will not serve 05647 thee shall perish 06; yea, those nations 01471 shall be utterly 02717 wasted 02717.
13 The glory 03519 of Lebanon 03844 shall come 0935 to thee, the fir tree 01265, the pine tree 08410, and the box 08391 together 03162, to beautify 06286 the place 04725 of my sanctuary 04720; and I will make the place 04725 of my feet 07272 glorious 03513.
14 The sons 01121 also of them that afflicted 06031 thee shall come 01980 bending 07817 to thee; and all they that despised 05006 thee shall bow themselves down 07812 at the soles 03709 of thy feet 07272; and they shall call 07121 thee, The city 05892 of the LORD 03068, The Zion 06726 of the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478.
15 Though 08478 thou hast been forsaken 05800 and hated 08130, so that no man went through 05674 thee, I will make 07760 thee an everlasting 05769 pride 01347, a joy 04885 of many 01755 generations 01755.
16 Thou shalt also suck 03243 the milk 02461 of the Gentiles 01471, and shalt suck 03243 the breast 07699 of kings 04428: and thou shalt know 03045 that I the LORD 03068 am thy Saviour 03467 and thy Redeemer 01350, the mighty One 046 of Jacob 03290.
17 For brass 05178 I will bring 0935 gold 02091, and for iron 01270 I will bring 0935 silver 03701, and for wood 06086 brass 05178, and for stones 068 iron 01270: I will also make 07760 thy officers 06486 peace 07965, and thy exactors 05065 righteousness 06666.
18 Violence 02555 shall no more be heard 08085 in thy land 0776, wasting 07701 nor destruction 07667 within thy borders 01366; but thou shalt call 07121 thy walls 02346 Salvation 03444, and thy gates 08179 Praise 08416.
19 The sun 08121 shall be no more thy light 0216 by day 03119; neither for brightness 05051 shall the moon 03394 give light 0216 to thee: but the LORD 03068 shall be to thee an everlasting 05769 light 0215, and thy God 0430 thy glory 08597.
20 Thy sun 08121 shall no more go down 0935; neither shall thy moon 03391 withdraw 0622 itself: for the LORD 03068 shall be thy everlasting 05769 light 0216, and the days 03117 of thy mourning 060 shall be ended 07999.
21 Thy people 05971 also shall be all righteous 06662: they shall inherit 03423 the land 0776 for ever 05769, the branch 05342 of my planting 04302, the work 04639 of my hands 03027, that I may be glorified 06286.
22 A little one 06996 shall become a thousand 0505, and a small one 06810 a strong 06099 nation 01471: I the LORD 03068 will hasten 02363 it in its time 06256.
1 The Spirit 07307 of the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 is upon me; because the LORD 03068 hath anointed 04886 me to preach good tidings 01319 to the meek 06035; he hath sent 07971 me to bind up 02280 the brokenhearted 07665, 3820, to proclaim 07121 liberty 01865 to the captives 07617, and the opening of the prison 06495 to them that are bound 0631;
2 To proclaim 07121 the acceptable 07522 year 08141 of the LORD 03068, and the day 03117 of vengeance 05359 of our God 0430; to comfort 05162 all that mourn 057;
3 To appoint 07760 to them that mourn 057 in Zion 06726, to give 05414 to them beauty 06287 for ashes 0665, the oil 08081 of joy 08342 for mourning 060, the garment 04594 of praise 08416 for the spirit 07307 of heaviness 03544; that they may be called 07121 trees 0352 of righteousness 06664, the planting 04302 of the LORD 03068, that he may be glorified 06286.
4 And they shall build 01129 the old 05769 wastes 02723, they shall raise up 06965 the former 07223 desolations 08074, and they shall repair 02318 the waste 02721 cities 05892, the desolations 08074 of many 01755 generations 01755.
5 And foreigners 02114 shall stand 05975 and feed 07462 your flocks 06629, and the sons 01121 of the alien 05236 shall be your plowmen 0406 and your vinedressers 03755.
6 But ye shall be named 07121 the Priests 03548 of the LORD 03068: men shall call 0559 you the Ministers 08334 of our God 0430: ye shall eat 0398 the riches 02428 of the Gentiles 01471, and in their glory 03519 shall ye boast 03235 yourselves.
7 For your shame 01322 ye shall have double 04932; and for confusion 03639 they shall rejoice 07442 in their portion 02506: therefore in their land 0776 they shall possess 03423 the double 04932: everlasting 05769 joy 08057 shall be to them.
8 For I the LORD 03068 love 0157 judgment 04941, I hate 08130 robbery 01498 for burnt offering 05930; and I will direct 05414 their work 06468 in truth 0571, and I will make 03772 an everlasting 05769 covenant 01285 with them.
9 And their seed 02233 shall be known 03045 among the Gentiles 01471, and their offspring 06631 among 08432 the people 05971: all that see 07200 them shall acknowledge 05234 them, that they are the seed 02233 which the LORD 03068 hath blessed 01288.
10 I will greatly 07797 rejoice 07797 in the LORD 03068, my soul 05315 shall be joyful 01523 in my God 0430; for he hath clothed 03847 me with the garments 0899 of salvation 03468, he hath covered 03271 me with the robe 04598 of righteousness 06666, as a bridegroom 02860 decketh 03547 himself with ornaments 06287, and as a bride 03618 adorneth 05710 herself with her jewels 03627. decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest
11 For as the earth 0776 bringeth forth 03318 her bud 06780, and as the garden 01593 causeth the things that are sown 02221 in it to spring forth 06779; so the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 will cause righteousness 06666 and praise 08416 to spring forth 06779 before all the nations 01471.
1 For Zion’s 06726 sake I will not hold my peace 02814, and for Jerusalem’s 03389 sake I will not rest 08252, until its righteousness 06664 shall go forth 03318 as brightness 05051, and its salvation 03444 as a lamp 03940 that burneth 01197.
2 And the Gentiles 01471 shall see 07200 thy righteousness 06664, and all kings 04428 thy glory 03519: and thou shalt be called 07121 by a new 02319 name 05344, which the mouth 06310 of the LORD 03068 shall name 08034.
3 Thou shalt also be a crown 05850 of glory 08597 in the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068, and a royal 04410 diadem 06797, 6797 in the hand 03709 of thy God 0430.
4 Thou shalt no more be termed 0559 Forsaken 05800; neither shall thy land 0776 any more be termed 0559 Desolate 08077: but thou shalt be called 07121 Hephzibah 02657, and thy land 0776 Beulah 01166: for the LORD 03068 delighteth 02654 in thee, and thy land 0776 shall be married 01166. Hephzibah: that is, My delight is in herBeulah: that is, Married
5 For as a young man 0970 marrieth 01166 a virgin 01330, so shall thy sons 01121 marry 01166 thee: and as the bridegroom 02860 rejoiceth 04885 over the bride 03618, so shall thy God 0430 rejoice 07797 over thee. as the…: Heb. with the joy of the bridegroom
6 I have set 06485 watchmen 08104 upon thy walls 02346, O Jerusalem 03389, which shall never 08548 hold their peace 02814 day 03117 nor night 03915: ye that make mention 02142 of the LORD 03068, keep not silence 01824, make…: or, are the LORD’s remembrancers
7 And give 05414 him no rest 01824, till he shall establish 03559, and till he shall make 07760 Jerusalem 03389 a praise 08416 in the earth 0776. rest: Heb. silence
8 The LORD 03068 hath sworn 07650 by his right hand 03225, and by the arm 02220 of his strength 05797, Surely I will 0518 no more give 05414 thy grain 01715 to be food 03978 for thy enemies 0341; and the sons 01121 of the foreigner 05236 shall not drink 08354 thy wine 08492, for which thou hast laboured 03021: Surely…: Heb. If I give, etc
9 But they that have gathered 0622 it shall eat 0398 it, and praise 01984 the LORD 03068; and they that have brought it together 06908 shall drink 08354 it in the courts 02691 of my holiness 06944.
10 Go through 05674, go through 05674 the gates 08179; prepare 06437 ye the way 01870 of the people 05971; cast up 05549, cast up 05549 the highway 04546; gather out 05619 the stones 068; lift up 07311 a standard 05251 for the people 05971.
11 Behold, the LORD 03068 hath proclaimed 08085 to the end 07097 of the world 0776, Say 0559 ye to the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726, Behold, thy salvation 03468 cometh 0935; behold, his reward 07939 is with him, and his work 06468 before 06440 him. work: or, recompence
12 And they shall call 07121 them, The holy 06944 people 05971, The redeemed 01350 of the LORD 03068: and thou shalt be called 07121, Sought out 01875, A city 05892 not forsaken 05800.
1 Who is this that cometh 0935 from Edom 0123, with dyed 02556 garments 0899 from Bozrah 01224? this that is glorious 01921 in his apparel 03830, travelling 06808 in the greatness 07230 of his strength 03581? I that speak 01696 in righteousness 06666, mighty 07227 to save 03467. glorious: Heb. decked
2 Why art thou red 0122 in thy apparel 03830, and thy garments 0899 like him that treadeth 01869 in the winepress 01660?
3 I have trodden 01869 the winepress 06333 alone; and of the people 05971 there was none 0376 with me: for I will tread 01869 them in my anger 0639, and trample 07429 them in my fury 02534; and their blood 05332 shall be sprinkled 05137 upon my garments 0899, and I will stain 01351 all my raiment 04403.
4 For the day 03117 of vengeance 05359 is in my heart 03820, and the year 08141 of my redeemed 01350 is come 0935.
5 And I looked 05027, and there was none to help 05826; and I wondered 08074 that there was none to uphold 05564: therefore my own arm 02220 brought salvation 03467 to me; and my fury 02534, it upheld 05564 me.
6 And I will tread down 0947 the people 05971 in my anger 0639, and make them drunk 07937 in my fury 02534, and I will bring down 03381 their strength 05332 to the earth 0776.
7 I will mention 02142 the lovingkindnesses 02617 of the LORD 03068, and the praises 08416 of the LORD 03068, according to all that the LORD 03068 hath bestowed 01580 on us, and the great 07227 goodness 02898 toward the house 01004 of Israel 03478, which he hath bestowed 01580 on them according to his mercies 07356, and according to the multitude 07230 of his lovingkindnesses 02617.
8 For he said 0559, Surely they are my people 05971, children 01121 that will not lie 08266: so he was their Saviour 03467.
9 In all their affliction 06869 he was afflicted 06862, and the angel 04397 of his presence 06440 saved 03467 them: in his love 0160 and in his pity 02551 he redeemed 01350 them; and he bore 05190 them, and carried 05375 them all the days 03117 of old 05769.
10 But they rebelled 04784, and vexed 06087 his Holy 06944 Spirit 07307: therefore he was turned 02015 to be their enemy 0341, and he fought 03898 against them.
11 Then he remembered 02142 the days 03117 of old 05769, Moses 04872, and his people 05971, saying, Where is he that brought them 05927 out of the sea 03220 with the shepherd 07462 of his flock 06629? where is he that put 07760 his Holy 06944 Spirit 07307 within 07130 him? shepherd: or, shepherds
12 That led 03212 them by the right hand 03225 of Moses 04872 with his glorious 08597 arm 02220, dividing 01234 the water 04325 before 06440 them, to make 06213 himself an everlasting 05769 name 08034?
13 That led 03212 them through the deep 08415, as an horse 05483 in the wilderness 04057, that they should not stumble 03782?
14 As a beast 0929 goeth down 03381 in the valley 01237, the Spirit 07307 of the LORD 03068 caused him to rest 05117: so didst thou lead 05090 thy people 05971, to make 06213 thyself a glorious 08597 name 08034.
15 Look down 05027 from heaven 08064, and behold 07200 from the habitation 02073 of thy holiness 06944 and of thy glory 08597: where is thy zeal 07068 and thy strength 01369, the sounding 01995 of thy heart 04578 and of thy mercies 07356 toward me? are they restrained 0662? the sounding: or, the multitude
16 Doubtless 03588 thou art our father 01, though Abraham 085 be ignorant 03808, 3045 of us, and Israel 03478 acknowledge 05234 us not: thou, O LORD 03068, art our father 01, our redeemer 01350; thy name 08034 is from everlasting 05769. our redeemer…: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name
17 O LORD 03068, why hast thou made us to err 08582 from thy ways 01870, and hardened 07188 our heart 03820 from thy fear 03374? Return 07725 for thy servants 05650’ sake, the tribes 07626 of thy inheritance 05159.
18 The people 05971 of thy holiness 06944 have possessed 03423 it but a little while 04705: our adversaries 06862 have trodden down 0947 thy sanctuary 04720.
19 We are thine: thou never 05769 didst bear rule 04910 over them; they were not called 07121 by thy name 08034. they…: Heb. thy name was not called upon them
1 O 03863 that thou wouldest rend 07167 the heavens 08064, that thou wouldest come down 03381, that the mountains 02022 might flow down 02151 at thy presence 06440,
2 As when the melting 02003 fire 0784 burneth 06919, the fire 0784 causeth the waters 04325 to boil 01158, to make thy name 08034 known 03045 to thy adversaries 06862, that the nations 01471 may tremble 07264 at thy presence 06440! the melting…: Heb. the fire of meltings
3 When thou didst 06213 terrible things 03372 which we looked 06960 not for, thou camest down 03381, the mountains 02022 flowed down 02151 at thy presence 06440.
4 For since the beginning of the world 05769 men have not heard 08085, nor perceived by the ear 0238, neither hath the eye 05869 seen 07200, O God 0430, besides 02108 thee, what he hath prepared 06213 for him that waiteth 02442 for him. seen…: or, seen a God beside thee, which doeth so for him, etc
5 Thou meetest 06293 him that rejoiceth 07797 and worketh 06213 righteousness 06664, those that remember 02142 thee in thy ways 01870: behold, thou art angry 07107; for we have sinned 02398: in those is continuance 05769, and we shall be saved 03467.
6 But we are all as an unclean 02931 thing, and all our righteousnesses 06666 are as filthy 05708 rags 0899; and we all do fade 05034, 1101 as a leaf 05929; and our iniquities 05771, like the wind 07307, have taken us away 05375.
7 And there is none that calleth 07121 upon thy name 08034, that stirreth up 05782 himself to take hold 02388 of thee: for thou hast hid 05641 thy face 06440 from us, and hast consumed 04127 us, because 03027 of our iniquities 05771. consumed: Heb. meltedbecause: Heb. by the hand
8 But now, O LORD 03068, thou art our father 01; we are the clay 02563, and thou our potter 03335; and we all are the work 04639 of thy hand 03027.
9 Be not very angry 07107, 3966, O LORD 03068, neither remember 02142 iniquity 05771 for ever 05703: behold, see 05027, we beseech thee, we are all thy people 05971.
10 Thy holy 06944 cities 05892 are a wilderness 04057, Zion 06726 is a wilderness 04057, Jerusalem 03389 a desolation 08077.
11 Our holy 06944 and our beautiful 08597 house 01004, where our fathers 01 praised 01984 thee, is burned 08316 with fire 0784: and all our pleasant things 04261 are laid waste 02723.
12 Wilt thou restrain 0662 thyself for these things, O LORD 03068? wilt thou hold thy peace 02814, and grievously 03966 afflict 06031 us?
1 I am sought 01875 by them that asked 07592 not 03808 for me; I am found 04672 by them that sought 01245 me not 03808: I said 0559, Behold me, behold me, to a nation 01471 that was not called 07121 by my name 08034.
2 I have spread out 06566 my hands 03027 all the day 03117 to a rebellious 05637 people 05971, who walketh 01980 in a way 01870 that is not good 02896, after 0310 their own thoughts 04284;
3 A people 05971 that provoketh me to anger 03707 continually 08548 to my face 06440; that sacrificeth 02076 in gardens 01593, and burneth incense 06999 upon altars of brick 03843; upon…: Heb. upon bricks

5 Who say 0559, Stand 07126 by thyself, come not near 05066 to me; for I am holier 06942 than thou. These are a smoke 06227 in my nose 0639, a fire 0784 that burneth 03344 all the day 03117. nose: or, anger
6 Behold, it is written 03789 before 06440 me: I will not keep silence 02814, but will recompense 07999, even recompense 07999 into their bosom 02436,
7 Your iniquities 05771, and the iniquities 05771 of your fathers 01 together 03162, saith 0559 the LORD 03068, who have burned incense 06999 upon the mountains 02022, and blasphemed 02778 me upon the hills 01389: therefore will I measure 04058 their former 07223 work 06468 into their bosom 02436.
8 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, As the new wine 08492 is found 04672 in the cluster 0811, and one saith 0559, Destroy 07843 it not; for a blessing 01293 is in it: so will I do 06213 for my servants 05650’ sake, that I may not destroy 07843 them all.
9 And I will bring forth 03318 a seed 02233 out of Jacob 03290, and out of Judah 03063 an inheritor 03423 of my mountains 02022: and my elect 0972 shall inherit 03423 it, and my servants 05650 shall dwell 07931 there.
10 And Sharon 08289 shall be a fold 05116 of flocks 06629, and the valley 06010 of Achor 05911 a place for the herds 01241 to lie down in 07258, for my people 05971 that have sought 01875 me.
11 But ye are they that forsake 05800 the LORD 03068, that forget 07913 my holy 06944 mountain 02022, that prepare 06186 a table 07979 for that troop 01409, 1408, and that furnish 04390 the drink offering 04469 to that number 04507. troop: or, Gadnumber: or, Meni, a pagan god
12 Therefore will I number 04487 you to the sword 02719, and ye shall all bow down 03766 to the slaughter 02874: because when I called 07121, ye did not answer 06030; when I spoke 01696, ye did not hear 08085; but did 06213 evil 07451 before my eyes 05869, and did choose 0977 that in which I delighted 02654 not.
13 Therefore thus saith 0559 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069, Behold, my servants 05650 shall eat 0398, but ye shall be hungry 07456: behold, my servants 05650 shall drink 08354, but ye shall be thirsty 06770: behold, my servants 05650 shall rejoice 08055, but ye shall be ashamed 0954:
14 Behold, my servants 05650 shall sing 07442 for joy 02898 of heart 03820, but ye shall cry 06817 for sorrow 03511 of heart 03820, and shall wail 03213 for vexation 07667 of spirit 07307. vexation: Heb. breaking
15 And ye shall leave 03240 your name 08034 for a curse 07621 to my chosen 0972: for the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 shall slay 04191 thee, and call 07121 his servants 05650 by another 0312 name 08034:
16 That he who blesseth 01288 himself in the earth 0776 shall bless 01288 himself in the God 0430 of truth 0543; and he that sweareth 07650 in the earth 0776 shall swear 07650 by the God 0430 of truth 0543; because the former 07223 troubles 06869 are forgotten 07911, and because they are hid 05641 from my eyes 05869.
17 For, behold, I create 01254 new 02319 heavens 08064 and a new 02319 earth 0776: and the former 07223 shall not be remembered 02142, nor come 05927 into mind 03820. come…: Heb. come upon the heart
18 But be ye glad 07797 and rejoice 01523 for ever 05703 in that which I create 01254: for, behold, I create 01254 Jerusalem 03389 a rejoicing 01525, and her people 05971 a joy 04885.
19 And I will rejoice 01523 in Jerusalem 03389, and joy 07797 in my people 05971: and the voice 06963 of weeping 01065 shall be no more heard 08085 in her, nor the voice 06963 of crying 02201.
20 There shall be no more there an infant 05764 of days 03117, nor an old man 02205 that hath not filled 04390 his days 03117: for the child 05288 shall die 04191 an hundred 03967 years 08141 old 01121; but the sinner 02398 being an hundred 03967 years 08141 old 01121 shall be accursed 07043.
21 And they shall build 01129 houses 01004, and inhabit 03427 them; and they shall plant 05193 vineyards 03754, and eat 0398 the fruit 06529 of them.
22 They shall not build 01129, and another 0312 inhabit 03427; they shall not plant 05193, and another 0312 eat 0398: for as the days 03117 of a tree 06086 are the days 03117 of my people 05971, and my elect 0972 shall long enjoy 01086 the work 04639 of their hands 03027. shall long…: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out
23 They shall not labour 03021 in vain 07385, nor bring forth 03205 for trouble 0928; for they are the seed 02233 of the blessed 01288 of the LORD 03068, and their offspring 06631 with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call 07121, I will answer 06030; and while they are yet speaking 01696, I will hear 08085.
25 The wolf 02061 and the lamb 02924 shall feed 07462 together 0259, and the lion 0738 shall eat 0398 straw 08401 like the ox 01241: and dust 06083 shall be the serpent’s 05175 food 03899. They shall not hurt 07489 nor destroy 07843 in all my holy 06944 mountain 02022, saith 0559 the LORD 03068.
1 Thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, The heaven 08064 is my throne 03678, and the earth 0776 is my footstool 07272, 1916: where is the house 01004 that ye build 01129 to me? and where is the place 04725 of my rest 04496?
2 For all these things hath my hand 03027 made 06213, and all these things have been, saith 05002 the LORD 03068: but to this man will I look 05027, even to him that is poor 06041 and of a contrite 05223 spirit 07307, and trembleth 02730 at my word 01697.
3 He that killeth 07819 an ox 07794 is as if he slew 05221 a man 0376; he that sacrificeth 02076 a lamb 07716, as if he cut off 06202 a dog’s 03611 neck 06202; he that offereth 05927 an oblation 04503, as if he offered swine’s 02386 blood 01818; he that burneth 02142 incense 03828, as if he blessed 01288 an idol 0205. Yea, they have chosen 0977 their own ways 01870, and their soul 05315 delighteth 02654 in their abominations 08251. lamb: or, kidburneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of
4 I also will choose 0977 their delusions 08586, and will bring 0935 their fears 04035 upon them; because when I called 07121, none did answer 06030; when I spoke 01696, they did not hear 08085: but they did 06213 evil 07451 before my eyes 05869, and chose 0977 that in which I delighted 02654 not. delusions: or, devices
5 Hear 08085 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, ye that tremble 02730 at his word 01697; Your brethren 0251 that hated 08130 you, that cast you out 05077 for my name’s 08034 sake, said 0559, Let the LORD 03068 be glorified 03513: but he shall appear 07200 to your joy 08057, and they shall be ashamed 0954.
6 A voice 06963 of noise 07588 from the city 05892, a voice 06963 from the temple 01964, a voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 that rendereth 07999 recompence 01576 to his enemies 0341.
7 Before she travailed 02342, she brought forth 03205; before her pain 02256 came 0935, she was delivered 04422 of a son 02145.
8 Who hath heard 08085 such a thing? who hath seen 07200 such things? Shall the earth 0776 be made to bring forth 02342 in one 0259 day 03117? or shall a nation 01471 be born 03205 at once 06471? for as soon as 01571 Zion 06726 travailed 02342, she brought forth 03205 her children 01121.
9 Shall I bring to the birth 07665, and not cause to bring forth 03205? saith 0559 the LORD 03068: shall I 0589 cause to bring forth 03205, and shut 06113 the womb? saith 0559 thy God 0430. not…: or, not beget?
10 Rejoice 08055 ye with Jerusalem 03389, and be glad 01523 with her, all ye that love 0157 her: rejoice 07797 for joy 04885 with her, all ye that mourn 056 for her:
11 That ye may nurse 03243, and be satisfied 07646 with the breasts 07699 of her consolations 08575; that ye may draw milk 04711, and be delighted 06026 with the abundance 02123 of her glory 03519. abundance: or, brightness
12 For thus saith 0559 the LORD 03068, Behold, I will extend 05186 peace 07965 to her like a river 05104, and the glory 03519 of the Gentiles 01471 like a flowing 07857 stream 05158: then shall ye be nursed 03243, ye shall be borne 05375 upon her sides 06654, and be dandled 08173 upon her knees 01290.
13 As one 0376 whom his mother 0517 comforteth 05162, so will I comfort 05162 you; and ye shall be comforted 05162 in Jerusalem 03389.
14 And when ye see 07200 this, your heart 03820 shall rejoice 07797, and your bones 06106 shall flourish 06524 like an herb 01877: and the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068 shall be known 03045 toward his servants 05650, and his indignation 02194 toward his enemies 0341.
15 For, behold, the LORD 03068 will come 0935 with fire 0784, and with his chariots 04818 like a whirlwind 05492, to render 07725 his anger 0639 with fury 02534, and his rebuke 01606 with flames 03851 of fire 0784.
16 For by fire 0784 and by his sword 02719 will the LORD 03068 plead 08199 with all flesh 01320: and the slain 02491 of the LORD 03068 shall be many 07231.
17 They that sanctify 06942 themselves, and purify 02891 themselves in the gardens 01593 behind 0310 one 0259 tree in the midst 08432, eating 0398 swine’s 02386 flesh 01320, and the abomination 08263, and the mouse 05909, shall be consumed 05486 together 03162, saith 05002 the LORD 03068. behind…: or, one after another
18 For I know their works 04639 and their thoughts 04284: it shall come 0935, that I will gather 06908 all nations 01471 and tongues 03956; and they shall come 0935, and see 07200 my glory 03519.
19 And I will set 07760 a sign 0226 among them, and I will send 07971 those that escape 06412 of them to the nations 01471, to Tarshish 08659, Pul 06322, and Lud 03865, that draw 04900 the bow 07198, to Tubal 08422, and Javan 03120, to the isles 0339 afar off 07350, that have not heard 08085 my fame 08088, neither have seen 07200 my glory 03519; and they shall declare 05046 my glory 03519 among the Gentiles 01471.
20 And they shall bring 0935 all your brethren 0251 for an offering 04503 to the LORD 03068 out of all nations 01471 upon horses 05483, and in chariots 07393, and in litters 06632, and upon mules 06505, and upon swift beasts 03753, to my holy 06944 mountain 02022 Jerusalem 03389, saith 0559 the LORD 03068, as the children 01121 of Israel 03478 bring 0935 an offering 04503 in a clean 02889 vessel 03627 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. litters: or, coaches
21 And I will also take 03947 of them for priests 03548 and for Levites 03881, saith 0559 the LORD 03068.
22 For as the new 02319 heavens 08064 and the new 02319 earth 0776, which I will make 06213, shall remain 05975 before 06440 me, saith 05002 the LORD 03068, so shall your seed 02233 and your name 08034 remain 05975.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from 01767 one new moon 02320 to another 02320, and from 01767 one sabbath 07676 to another 07676, shall all flesh 01320 come 0935 to worship 07812 before 06440 me, saith 0559 the LORD 03068. from one new…: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath
24 And they shall go forth 03318, and look 07200 upon the dead bodies 06297 of the men 0582 that have transgressed 06586 against me: for their worm 08438 shall not die 04191, neither shall their fire 0784 be quenched 03518; and they shall be an abhorrence 01860 to all flesh 01320.
