Isa 1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his masters crib; Israel doth not know; My people doth not understand.

Isa 2:4 And he will judge among the nations, And will rebuke many peoples: And they shall beat their swords into spades, And their spears into pruning–hooks; And nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they practise war any more.
Isa 2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, And we shall walk in the light of the Lord.

Isa 5:2 He fenced it, and gathered out the stones, And planted it as a choice vine; He reared a tower in the midst of it, And built a wine–press in it: He therefore hoped that it would yield grapes, And it yieldeth wild grapes.
Isa 5:3 Now then, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, And man of Judah, Judge ye between me and my vineyard.
Isa 5:4 What more ought to have been done to my vineyard, Which I have not done to it? How did I look that it should yield grapes, And yet it hath yielded wild grapes?

Isa 5:25 Therefore the anger of Jehovah Hath been kindled against his people, And, stretching forth his hand against them, He hath smitten them; And the mountains trembled, And their torn carcass was thrown into the midst of the streets; And for all these things his anger hath not been turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.

Isa 7:2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim; and his heart was moved, as when the trees of the forest are moved by the wind.

Isa 7:4 And thou shalt say to him: Take heed, and be quiet; Fear not, and let not thy heart be soft, For the two tails of those smoking firebrands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin the Syrian, And of the son of Remaliah.
Isa 7:5 Because the Syrian hath taken wicked counsel against thee With Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, saying:
Isa 7:6 Let us go up against Judah, and harass it, And let us open it for us; And let us appoint a king in the midst of it, The son of Tabeal.
Isa 7:7 Thus hath the Lord Jehovah said, It shall not stand, and shall not be,
Isa 7:8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, And the head of Damascus is Rezin; And within sixty–five years shall be broken Ephraim, that it be not a people.
Isa 7:9 Yet the head of Ephraim is Samaria, And the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If ye do not believe, Surely ye shall not stand.
Isa 7:10 ¶ And Jehovah added to speak to Ahaz, saying:
Isa 7:11 Ask thee a sign from Jehovah thy God, By asking in the deep, Or in the height above.
Isa 7:12 And Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.
Isa 7:13 And he said, Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, If ye do not also weary my God?

Isa 7:24 With arrows and bow shall they come thither, Because thorns and briers shall be throughout all the land.

Isa 8:5 Moreover, Jehovah spoke unto me, saying again:
Isa 8:6 Because this people hath refused The waters of Shiloah, which flow softly, And hath rejoiced in Rezin and the son of Remaliah:
Isa 8:7 Therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth upon them The waters of the river, rapid and strong, The king of Assyria and all his force; And he shall come up over all his channels, And shall pass over all his banks.
Isa 8:8 And, crossing over into Judah, He shall overflow and pass over; He shall reach even to the neck; And the stretching out of his wings shall fill The breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

Isa 8:10 Take counsel together, and it shall be disannulled; Decree a decree, and it shall not stand; For God is with us. {(Hebrew,) Immanuel.}
Isa 8:11 For thus did Jehovah speak to me, as if seizing {Or, Strengthening.} my hand, And taught me not to go in the way of this people, saying,
Isa 8:12 Say ye not, A confederacy, In all things in which this people saith, A confederacy; And fear not their fear, Nor be ye afraid.
Isa 8:13 Sanctify Jehovah of hosts himself; And let him be your fear, And let him be your dread.
Isa 8:14 Then shall he be for a sanctuary; A stone of stumbling and rock of destruction To the two houses of Israel; A net and a snare To the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Isa 8:19 And if they shall say to you, Inquire at soothsayers and diviners, Who whisper and mutter; Should not a people ask counsel of their God? From the living to the dead?
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: If they have not spoken according to this word, It is because there is no light in them.

Isa 36:1 ¶ It came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the defended cities of Judah, And took them.
Isa 36:2 Then the king of Assyria sent Rabshakch from Lachish, with a powerful army, to Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, who stood at the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fullers field.
Isa 36:3 And there came out to him Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, And Shebna the chancellor, And Joab, the son of Asaph, the secretary.
Isa 36:4 And Rabshakeh said to them: Say now to Hezekiah? Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which thou trustest? I have said, (only a word of the lips.)
Isa 36:5 Counsel And strength for war. Now in whom hast thou trusted, that thou hast rebelled against me?
Isa 36:6 Behold, thou hast rusted in that broken staff of reed, on Egypt, on which if one lean, it will go into his hand And pierce it. Such is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who have confidence in him.
Isa 36:7 And if thou shalt say to me, We trust in Jehovah our God; is it not, he whose high places And altars Hezekiah hath taken away, And hath said to Judah And Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Isa 36:8 Now, come, give a hostage to my master, the king of Assyria. I will give thee two thousand horses; wilt thou have horsemen to set upon them?
Isa 36:9 And how dost thou despise the face of one captain of the least of my masters servants, And place thy confidence in Egypt for chariots And horsemen?
Isa 36:10 And have I now come up without Jehovah to this land, to destroy it? Jehovah said to me: Go up against this land, to destroy it.
Isa 36:11 ¶ Then said Eliakim, And Shebna, And Joah, to Rabshakeh: Speak, I pray, to thy servants, in the Syrian language, (for we understand it,) And speak not to us in the Jewish language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.
Isa 36:12 And Rabshakeh said: Hath my master sent me to thy master And to thee to speak those words? Is it not to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, And drink their own urine with you?
Isa 36:13 Therefore Rabshakeh stood, And cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, And said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Isa 36:14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah impose upon you, for he will not be able to deliver you.
Isa 36:15 And let not Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, By delivering will Jehovah deliver us; this city shall not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isa 36:16 Listen not to Hezekiah; for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make with me a blessing, And come out; And let every one eat of his own vine, And let every one eat of his own fig–tree, And let every one drink the waters of his own well.
Isa 36:17 Till I come And take you into a land like your own land, a land of corn And wine, a land of bread And vineyards.
Isa 36:18 Lest perhaps Hezekiah deceive you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Isa 36:19 Where is the god of Hamath And Arpad? Where is the god of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Isa 36:20 Who is there among all the gods of those lands that hath delivered his land out of my hand; that Jehovah should rescue Jerusalem out of my hand?
Isa 36:21 They were silent, And did not answer him a word; for this was the commandment of the king, Do not answer him.
Isa 36:22 Then came Eliakim, who was over the house And Shebna the chancellor, And Joab, the son of Asaph, the secretary, to Hezekiah, with rent garments, And told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Isa 37:1 ¶ Now, it came to pass, that Hezekiah, when he heard this rent his clothes, And covered himself with sackcloth, And went into the house of Jehovah.
Isa 37:2 At the same time he sent Eliakim, who was over the palace, And Shebna the chancellor, and the eldest of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet.
Isa 37:3 Who said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, And of blasphemy; for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Isa 37:4 If, perhaps, Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master, the king of Assyria, hath sent to curse the living God, And to rebuke with words which Jehovah thy God hath heard. Thou shalt therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is still left.
Isa 37:5 The servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Isa 37:6 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah, Fear not the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have reproached me.
Isa 37:7 Behold, I will bring a wind upon him; for he shall hear a report, And shall return to his own land; And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Isa 37:8 ¶ And Rabshakeh, having returned, found the king of Assyria besieging Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Isa 37:9 And hearing concerning Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, He hath gone out to fight against thee; after having heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
Isa 37:10 Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah king of Judah: Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isa 37:11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to at hands, how they have destroyed them; And shalt thou be delivered?
Isa 37:12 Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers destroyed, Gozan, And Itaran, And Rezeph, And the children of Edom, who were in Telassar?
Isa 37:13 Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arphad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena And Iva?
Isa 37:14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, And read it, And went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
Isa 37:15 Then Hezekiah prayed to God, saying:
Isa 37:16 O Jehovah of hosts, God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou alone art God over all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven And earth.
Isa 37:17 Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, And hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, And see; And hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.
Isa 37:18 Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations, And their land,
Isa 37:19 And have cast their gods into the fire; for they were not gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood, And stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
Isa 37:20 And now, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand; that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou alone art Jehovah.
Isa 37:21 ¶ Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Since thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib, king of Assyria;
Isa 37:22 This is the word which Jehovah hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee, hath laughed at thee; The daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. Whom hast thou reproached?
Isa 37:23 And whom hast thou blasphemed? Against whom hast thou exalted thy Voice, And lifted up thy hands on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 37:24 By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, And hast said, By the multitude of my chariots I will go up, To the heights of the mountains, To the sides of Lebanon; I will cut down the tallest of her cedars, Her choice firs; Then will I come to the height of his border, And even to his level forest. {Or, To the forest of his plain.}
Isa 37:25 I will dig, And will drink waters; With the sole of my feet I will dry up all the lakes of the siege.
Isa 37:26 Hast thou not heard that I made it long ago, That I formed it from ancient days? And should I now bring it to be a desolation, To be heaps of ruins, like fortified cities?
Isa 37:27 For their inhabitants were maimed, Were terrified And confounded; They were made like the grass of the field And the green herb, Like the grass of the house–tops, which withereth before it is ripe.
Isa 37:28
