Noyes Translation
1869 by George Noyes
Isa 1:1 ¶ The visions of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Isa 1:2 ¶ Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For Jehovah speaketh: "I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.
Isa 1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his master’s crib; But Israel doth not know; My people do not consider."
Isa 1:4 Ah, sinful nation! a people laden with iniquity! A race of evil–doers! degenerate children! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; They have gone backward.
Isa 1:5 Where can ye be smitten again, Since ye renew your rebellion? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;
Isa 1:6 From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; It is all bruises, and stripes, and flesh wounds, Neither pressed, nor bound up, nor softened with ointment.
Isa 1:7 Your country is desolate; Your cities are burnt with fire; Your ground, strangers devour it before your eyes; It is become desolate, destroyed by an enemy.
Isa 1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a shed in a vineyard, As a hut in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.
Isa 1:9 Had not Jehovah of hosts left us a small remnant, We had soon become as Sodom; We had been like to Gomorrah.
Isa 1:10 ¶ Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye princes of Sodom! Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah!
Isa 1:11 What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah; I am satiated with burnt–offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; In the blood of bullocks and of lambs and of goats I have no delight.
Isa 1:12 When ye come to appear before me, Who hath required this of you, to tread my courts?
Isa 1:13 Bring no more false oblations! Incense is an abomination to me, The new moon also, and the sabbath, and the calling of the assembly; Iniquity and festivals I cannot endure.
Isa 1:14 Your new moons and your feasts my soul hateth; They are a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
Isa 1:15 When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; Yea, when ye multiply prayers, I will not hear: Your hands are full of blood!
Isa 1:16 ¶ Wash you; make you clean; Put away your evil doings from before mine eyes;
Isa 1:17 Cease to do evil; Learn to do well; Seek justice; relieve the oppressed; Defend the fatherless; plead for the widow!
Isa 1:18 Come, now, and let us argue together, saith Jehovah. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they be red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
Isa 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, Ye shall consume the good of the land.
Isa 1:20 But if ye refuse, and be rebellious, The sword shall consume you; For the mouth of Jehovah hath said it.
Isa 1:21 ¶ How is the faithful city become a harlot, She that was full of equity! Once justice dwelt in her, but now murderers!
Isa 1:22 Thy silver is become dross; Thy wine is adulterated with water.
Isa 1:23 Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves; Every one of them loveth gifts, and seeketh rewards; They render not justice to the fatherless, And the cause of the widow cometh not before them.
Isa 1:24 Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will ease me of mine adversaries, And avenge me of mine enemies.
Isa 1:25 And I will again turn my hand toward thee, And wholly purge away thy dross, And take away all thy alloy.
Isa 1:26 And I will restore thee judges, as at the first, And counsellors, as at the beginning. Then shalt thou be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Isa 1:27 Through justice shall Zion be delivered, And her reformed sons through righteousness.
Isa 1:28 But destruction shall fall at once on the rebels and sinners; Yea, they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
Isa 1:29 For ye shall be ashamed of the terebinths in which ye delighted; Ye shall blush for the gardens which ye loved;
Isa 1:30 And ye shall be as a terebinth–tree whose leaves are withered, And as a garden in which is no water.
Isa 1:31 The strong shall become tow, And his work a spark of fire; Both shall burn together, And none shall quench them.
Isa 2:1 ¶ The word, which was revealed to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Isa 2:2 It shall come to pass in the last days, That the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established at the head of the mountains, And exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow unto it.
Isa 2:3 And many kingdoms shall go, and shall say, "Come, let us go to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us his ways, And that we may walk in his paths!" For from Zion shall go forth a law, And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
Isa 2:4 He shall be a judge of the nations, And an umpire of many kingdoms; And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, And their spears into pruning–hooks; Nation shall not lift up the sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war any more.
Isa 2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, And let us walk in the light of Jehovah!
Isa 2:6 ¶ For thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, Because they are full of the East, And are sorcerers, like the Philistines, And strike hands with a foreign race!
Isa 2:7 Their land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures; Their land is full of horses, And there is no end to their chariots;
Isa 2:8 Their land is full of idols; They bow down to the work of their own hands, To that which their own fingers have made.
Isa 2:9 Therefore shall the mean man be bowed down, And the great man be brought low; And thou wilt not forgive them!
Isa 2:10 ¶ Go into the rock, hide yourselves in the dust, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty!
Isa 2:11 The proud looks of man shall be humbled, And the loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isa 2:12 For Jehovah of hosts holdeth a day of judgment Against all that is proud and lofty; Against all that is exalted, and it shall be brought low;
Isa 2:13 Against all the cedars of Lebanon, the high and the exalted, And against all the oaks of Bashan;
Isa 2:14 Against all the lofty mountains, And against all the high hills;
Isa 2:15 Against every lofty tower, And against every high wall;
Isa 2:16 Against all the ships of Tarshish, And against all their beautiful flags.
Isa 2:17 The pride of man shall be humbled; The loftiness of mortals shall be brought low; Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isa 2:18 The idols shall wholly pass away;
Isa 2:19 And men shall go into clefts of the rocks, and caves of the earth, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.
Isa 2:20 At that time shall men cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they have made to worship, To the moles and the bats;
Isa 2:21 Fleeing into caves of the rocks, and clefts of the craggy rocks, From the terror of Jehovah, and the glory of his majesty, When he ariseth to make the earth tremble.
Isa 2:22 Trust, then, no more in man, Whose breath is in his nostrils! For what account is to be made of him!
Isa 3:1 ¶ For behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Taketh away from Jerusalem and from Judah every stay and support; The whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water;
Isa 3:2 The mighty man, and the warrior, The judge, the prophet, the diviner, and the sage,
Isa 3:3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, The counsellor, the expert in arts, and the skilful in charms.
Isa 3:4 And I will make boys their princes, And children shall rule over them.
Isa 3:5 And the people shall oppress one another, Man striving against man, and neighbor against neighbor; The boy shall behave himself insolently toward the aged, And the base toward the honorable.
Isa 3:6 Then shall a man take hold of his brother in his father’s house, [and say,] Thou hast yet clothing, Be thou our ruler, And take this ruin into thy hands!
Isa 3:7 But in that day shall he lift up his hand, and say: I am no healer; In my house is neither bread nor raiment; Make not me ruler of the people!
Isa 3:8 For Jerusalem tottereth, and Judah falleth, Because their tongues and their deeds are against Jehovah, To provoke his holy eyes.
Isa 3:9 ¶ Their very countenance witnesseth against them; They publish their sin like Sodom; they hide it not; Woe to them, for they bring evil upon themselves!
Isa 3:10 Say ye of the righteous that it shall be well with him, For he shall eat the fruit of his doings.
Isa 3:11 Woe to the wicked, it shall be ill with him, For the work of his hands shall be repaid him!
Isa 3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O my people, thy leaders cause thee to err, And destroy the way in which thou walkest!
Isa 3:13 Jehovah standeth up to maintain his cause; He standeth up to judge his people.
Isa 3:14 Jehovah entereth into judgment with the elders of his people, and their princes: "So then ye have consumed the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses!
Isa 3:15 What mean ye, that ye crush my people, And grind the faces of the poor?" Saith Jehovah, the Lord of hosts.
Isa 3:16 ¶ Thus, also, saith Jehovah: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, And walk with outstretched necks, And glance their eyes wantonly, Mincing their steps as they go, And tinkling with their foot–clasps,
Isa 3:17 Therefore will the Lord make their heads bald, And Jehovah will expose their nakedness.
Isa 3:18 In that day shall the Lord take from them The ornaments of the foot–clasps, and the net–works, and the crescents;
Isa 3:19 The ear–rings, and the bracelets, and the veils;
Isa 3:20 The turbans, and the ankle–chains, and the belts; The perfume–boxes, and the amulets;
Isa 3:21 The finger–rings, and the nose–jewels;
Isa 3:22 The embroidered robes, and the tunics, and the cloaks, and the purses;
Isa 3:23 The mirrors, and the linen shifts, and the head–bands, and the large veils.
Isa 3:24 And instead of perfume there shall be corruption; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of curled locks, baldness; Instead of a wide mantle, a covering of sackcloth; Fire–scars instead of beauty.
Isa 3:25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, Yea, thy mighty men in battle;
Isa 3:26 Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she, being desolate, shall sit upon the ground.
Isa 4:1 ¶ In that day shall seven women lay hold of one man saying: We will eat our own bread, And wear our own garments, Only let us be called by thy name, And take away our reproach!
Isa 4:2 ¶ In that day shall the increase of Jehovah be glorious and honorable, And the fruit of the land excellent and beautiful, For them that have escaped of Israel.
Isa 4:3 All that remain in Zion, And all that are left in Jerusalem, Shall be called holy; Every one that is written down for life in Jerusalem.
Isa 4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, And have removed the blood of Jerusalem from the midst of her, By a spirit of judgment and a spirit of destruction,
Isa 4:5 Then shall Jehovah create upon the whole extent of mount Zion, and upon her places of assembly, A cloud and smoke by day, And the brightness of a flaming fire by night; Yea, for all that is glorious there shall be a shelter;
Isa 4:6 There shall be a tent by day for a shadow from the heat, And for a refuge and shelter from the storm and rain.
Isa 5:1 ¶ Let me sing now a song respecting my friend, A song respecting my friend touching his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard On a very fruitful hill;
Isa 5:2 He digged it, and cleared it of stones, And planted it with the choicest vine, And built a tower in the midst of it, And hewed out a wine–press therein; Then he looked that it should bring forth its grapes, But it brought forth sour grapes.
Isa 5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, Judge ye between me and my vineyard!
Isa 5:4 What could have been done for my vineyard That I have not done for it? Why, then, when I looked that it should bring forth its grapes, Brought it forth sour grapes?
Isa 5:5 But come now, and I will tell you What I mean to do with my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden down!
Isa 5:6 And I will make it a waste; It shall not be pruned, nor digged, But shall grow up into thorns and briers; I will also command the clouds That they shed no rain upon it.
Isa 5:7 The vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah the plant of his delight. He looked for justice, and behold, bloodshed! For righteousness, and behold, outcry!
Isa 5:8 ¶ Woe to them that join house to house, That add field to field, Till there is no place left, And they dwell alone in the land.
Isa 5:9 To mine ear hath Jehovah of hosts revealed it: Surely many houses shall become a desolation, The great and the fair ones, without an inhabitant.
Isa 5:10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield a single bath of wine, And a homer of seed shall produce but an ephah.
Isa 5:11 Woe to them that rise early in the morning to follow strong drink,––Who sit late in the night that wine may inflame them!
Isa 5:12 And the lyre and the harp, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are at their feasts, But they regard not the work of Jehovah, Nor attend to the operation of his hands.
Isa 5:13 Therefore shall my people be led captive, when they think not of it; Their honorable men shall be famished with hunger, And their rich men parched with thirst.
Isa 5:14 Therefore doth the under–world enlarge its greedy throat, And stretch open its mouth without measure, And down go her nobility and her wealth, Her busy throng, and all that was joyful within her.
Isa 5:15 The mean man shall be bowed down, And the great man shall be brought low, And the eyes of the haughty shall be humbled;
Isa 5:16 Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted through judgment; Yea, God, the Holy One, shall be sanctified through righteousness.
Isa 5:17 Then shall the lambs feed, as in their own pasture, And the deserted fields of the rich shall strangers consume.
Isa 5:18 ¶ Woe to them that draw calamity with cords of wickedness, And punishment as with wagon–traces,––
Isa 5:19 Who say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work that we may see it! Let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near and be fulfilled, that we may know it!
Isa 5:20 Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil, That put darkness for light, and light for darkness, That put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa 5:21 Woe to them that are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own conceit!
Isa 5:22 Woe to them that are valiant to drink wine, And men of might to mingle strong drink!
Isa 5:23 That clear the guilty for a reward, And take away from the righteous his right!
Isa 5:24 Therefore, as fire devours stubble, And as the withered grass sinks into the flame, So their root shall become rottenness, And their blossom shall fly up like dust. For they have despised the law of Jehovah of hosts, And contemned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 5:25 Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people; He stretcheth forth his hand against them, and smiteth them, so that the mountains tremble, And their carcasses are as dung in the midst of the streets; For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
Isa 5:26 He lifteth up a banner for the nations afar off, He whistleth for them from the ends of the earth, And behold, they haste, and come swiftly.
Isa 5:27 None among them is weary, and none stumbleth; None slumbereth nor sleepeth; The girdle of their loins is not loosed, Nor the latchet of their shoes broken.
Isa 5:28 Their arrows are sharp, And all their bows bent; The hoofs of their horses are like flint, And their wheels like a whirlwind.
Isa 5:29 Their roaring is like the roaring of the lion; They roar like young lions; They roar, and seize the prey; They bear it away, and none can rescue it.
Isa 5:30 Yea, in that day shall they roar against them like the roaring of the sea; And if one look to the land, behold darkness and sorrow, And the light is darkened by its clouds.
Isa 6:1 ¶ In the year in which King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled the temple.
Isa 6:2 Around him stood seraphs; each one of them had six wings; with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.
Isa 6:3 And one called to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; The whole earth is full of his glory.
Isa 6:4 And the foundations of the thresholds were shaken with the voice of their cry. And the temple was filled with smoke.
Isa 6:5 ¶ Then I said, Alas for me! I am undone! For I am a man of unclean lips, and dwell among a people of unclean lips, and mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
Isa 6:6 Then flew one of the seraphs to me, having in his hands a glowing stone, which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
Isa 6:7 And he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this toucheth thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin is expiated.
Isa 6:8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said: Behold, here am I; send me!
Isa 6:9 ¶ And he said: Go, and say thou to this people, Hear ye, indeed, but understand not; See ye, indeed, but perceive not!
Isa 6:10 Make the heart of this people gross; Make their ears dull, and blind their eyes; That they may not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, Nor perceive with their hearts, and turn, and be healed.
Isa 6:11 Then said I, How long, Lord? He said: Until the cities be laid waste, so that there be no inhabitant, And the houses, so that there be no man, And the land be left utterly desolate;
Isa 6:12 Until Jehovah have removed the men far away, And there be great desolation in the land.
Isa 6:13 And though there be a tenth part remaining in it, Even this shall again be destroyed; Yet as when the terebinth and the oak are cut down, Their stem remaineth alive, So shall a holy race be the stem of the nation.
Isa 7:1 ¶ In the time of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up against Jerusalem to besiege it; but he could not prevail against it.
Isa 7:2 And when it was told the house of David, that the Syrians had encamped in Ephraim, his heart was moved, and the hearts of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind.
Isa 7:3 Then said Jehovah to Isaiah, Go forth to meet Ahaz, thou and Shear–Jashub thy son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, in the way to the fuller’s field;
Isa 7:4 and say to him: Take heed, and be quiet! Fear not, neither let thy heart he faint On account of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, On account of the fierce wrath of Rezin with the Syrians, and of the son of Remaliah,
Isa 7:5 Because Syria deviseth evil against thee, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
Isa 7:6 "Let us go up against Judah, and besiege the city, And take it, And set a king in the midst of it, Even the son of Tabeal."
Isa 7:7 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: "It shall not stand, neither shall it be;
Isa 7:8 But the head of Syria shall still be Damascus, And the head of Damascus, Rezin; [And within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that he be no more a people.]
Isa 7:9 And the head of Ephraim shall still be Samaria, And the head of Samaria, the son of Remaliah. If ye will not believe, neither shall ye thrive."
Isa 7:10 ¶ Jehovah spake also again to Ahaz:
Isa 7:11 "Ask thee a sign of Jehovah, thy God; Ask it from below, or in the height above!"
Isa 7:12 And Ahaz said, I will not ask; I will not tempt Jehovah!
Isa 7:13 Then he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too small a thing for you to weary men, That ye should weary my God also?
Isa 7:14 Therefore shall Jehovah himself give you a sign: Behold, the damsel shall conceive, and bear a son, And she shall call his name Immanuel.
Isa 7:15 Milk and honey shall he eat, Until he learn to refuse the evil, and choose the good;
Isa 7:16 For before this child shall have learned to refuse the evil and choose the good, The land shall become desolate, On account of whose two kings thou art in terror.
Isa 7:17 ¶ Yet Jehovah shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, Days such as have not been Since Ephraim revolted from Judah. [Even the king of Assyria.]
Isa 7:18 And it shall come to pass in that day That Jehovah shall whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, And the bee that is in the land of Assyria,
Isa 7:19 And they shall come, and light all of them In the desolate valleys, and fissures of the rocks, And upon all hedges, and upon all pastures.
Isa 7:20 In that day shall Jehovah shave, with a razor hired beyond the river, [with the king of Assyria,] The head, and the hair of the feet; Yea, even the beard shall he take away.
Isa 7:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, That a man shall keep a young cow, and two sheep;
Isa 7:22 And for the abundance of milk which they produce, shall he eat cheese; For milk and honey shall all eat Who are left in the land,
Isa 7:23 And it shall come to pass in that day, That every place where stood a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, Shall be covered with briers and thorns.
Isa 7:24 With arrows and with bows shall men go thither; For all the land shall become briers and thorns.
Isa 7:25 All the hills that were digged with the mattock Shall no one approach through fear of briers and thorns; They shall be for the pasturage of oxen, And the trampling of sheep.
Isa 8:1 ¶ And Jehovah said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and with a man’s writing–instrument write on it, Hasteth–the–prey, Speedeth–the–spoil.
Isa 8:2 And I took with me faithful witnesses, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Berechiah.
Isa 8:3 I went in to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then said Jehovah to me, Call his name, Hasteth–the–prey, Speedeth–the–spoil.
Isa 8:4 For before the child shall learn to say, My father, and My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be borne away before the king of Assyria.
Isa 8:5 Moreover, Jehovah spake to me again, saying:
Isa 8:6 Because this people despiseth The soft–flowing waters of Siloah, And rejoiceth in Rezin, and the son of Remaliah,
Isa 8:7 Therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth upon them the strong and mighty waters of the river; [The king of Assyria and all his glory.] He shall rise above all his channels, And go over all his banks.
Isa 8:8 And he shall pass through Judah, overflowing and spreading; Even to the neck shall he reach, And his stretched–out wings shall fill the whole breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
Isa 8:9 ¶ Rage, ye nations, and despair! Give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth! Gird yourselves, and despair! Gird yourselves, and despair!
Isa 8:10 Form your plan, and it shall come to naught; Give the command, and it shall not stand; For God is with us.
Isa 8:11 For thus spake Jehovah to me with a strong hand, Instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:
Isa 8:12 Call not everything a confederacy which this people calleth a confederacy; Fear ye not what they fear, Neither be afraid!
Isa 8:13 Jehovah of hosts, sanctify ye him; Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread!
Isa 8:14 And he shall be to you a sanctuary; But a stone of stumbling, and a rock to strike against, To the two houses of Israel, A trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Isa 8:15 And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall, and be broken; They shall be ensnared and taken.
Isa 8:16 ¶ Bind up the revelation, Seal the word, with my disciples!
Isa 8:17 I will, therefore, wait for Jehovah, Who now hideth his face from the house of Jacob; Yet will I look for him.
Isa 8:18 Behold, I, and the children which Jehovah hath given me, Are signs and tokens in Israel From Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth upon mount Zion.
Isa 8:19 And when they shall say to you, "Inquire of the necromancers and the wizards, That chirp, and that murmur," [Then say ye,] "Should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead for the living?"
Isa 8:20 To the word, to the revelation! If they speak not according to this, For them no bright morning shall arise.
Isa 8:21 They shall pass through the land distressed and famished; And when they are famished, they shall be enraged, and curse their king and their God, And look upward.
Isa 8:22 And if they look to the earth, Behold distress and darkness, fearful darkness! And into darkness shall they be driven.
Isa 9:1 ¶ But the darkness shall not remain where now is distress; Of old he brought the land of Zebulon and the land of Naphtali into contempt; In future times shall he bring the land of the sea beyond Jordan, the circle of the gentiles, into honor.
Isa 9:2 The people that walk in darkness behold a great light; They who dwell in the land of death–like shade, Upon them a light shineth.
Isa 9:3 Thou enlargest the nation; Thou increasest their joy; They rejoice before thee with the joy of harvest, With the joy of those who divide the spoil.
Isa 9:4 For thou breakest their heavy yoke, And the rod that smote their backs, And the scourge of the taskmaster, As in the day of Midian.
Isa 9:5 For every greave of the warrior in battle, And the war–garment rolled in blood, Shall be burned; yea, it shall be food for the fire.
Isa 9:6 For to us a child is born, To us a son is given, And the government shall be upon his shoulder, And he shall be called Wonderful, counsellor, mighty potentate, Everlasting father, prince of peace;
Isa 9:7 His dominion shall be great, And peace without end shall be upon the throne of David and his kingdom, To fix and establish it Through justice and equity, Henceforth and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will do this.
Isa 9:8 ¶ The Lord sendeth a word against Jacob; It cometh down to Israel.
Isa 9:9 His whole people shall feel it, Ephraim, and the inhabitants of Samaria, Who say in pride and arrogance of heart,
Isa 9:10 "The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars."
Isa 9:11 Jehovah will raise up the enemies of Rezin against them, And will arm their adversaries;
Isa 9:12 The Syrians before, the Philistines behind, Who shall devour Israel with wide jaws. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
Isa 9:13 The people turn not to him that smiteth them; Neither do they seek Jehovah of hosts.
Isa 9:14 Therefore shall Jehovah cut off from Israel the head and the tail, The palm–branch and the rush, in one day.
Isa 9:15 [The aged and the honorable are the head, And the prophet that speaketh falsehood is the tail.]
Isa 9:16 For the leaders of this people lead them astray, And they that are led by them go to destruction.
Isa 9:17 Therefore shall the Lord have no joy in their young men, And on their orphans and widows he shall have no compassion; For they are all profane, and evil–doers; Every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
Isa 9:18 For wickedness burneth like a fire, It consumeth the briers and thorns, And it kindleth the thicket of the forest, So that it goeth up in columns of smoke.
Isa 9:19 Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burned, And the people are food for the fire; No one spareth another.
Isa 9:20 They consume on the right hand, and yet are hungry; They devour on the left, and are not satisfied; Every one devoureth the flesh of his arm.
Isa 9:21 Manasseh is against Ephraim, and Ephraim against Manasseh, And both together against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
Isa 10:1 ¶ Woe to them that make unrighteous decrees, That write oppressive decisions,
Isa 10:2 To turn away the needy from judgment, And rob the poor of my people of their right; That the widows may become their prey, And that they may plunder the orphans.
Isa 10:3 What will ye do in the day of visitation, And in the desolation which cometh from afar? To whom will ye flee for help, And where will ye leave your glory?
Isa 10:4 Forsaken by me, they shall sink down among the prisoners, And fall among the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
Isa 10:5 ¶ Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, The staff in whose hands is the instrument of my indignation!
Isa 10:6 Against an impious nation I will send him, And against a people under my wrath I will give him a charge To gather the spoil, and seize the prey, And to trample them under foot like the mire of the streets.
Isa 10:7 But he doth not so purpose, And his heart doth not so intend; But to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off a multitude of nations.
Isa 10:8 For he saith, "Are not my princes altogether kings?
Isa 10:9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
Isa 10:10 As my hand hath seized the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were more numerous than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Isa 10:11 Behold! as I have done to Samaria and her idols, So will I do to Jerusalem and her images."
Isa 10:12 But when the Lord hath accomplished his whole work upon Mount Zion and Jerusalem, Then will he punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, And the arrogance of his lofty eyes.
Isa 10:13 For he hath said: "By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom; for I am wise; I have removed the bounds of nations, I have plundered their treasures; As a hero have I brought down them that sat upon thrones.
Isa 10:14 The riches of the nations hath my hand seized, as a nest; As one gathereth eggs that have been left, So have I gathered the whole world. And there was none that moved the wing, Or that opened the beak, or that chirped."
Isa 10:15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? As if the rod should wield him that lifteth it! As if the staff should lift up him that is not wood!
Isa 10:16 Wherefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send upon his fat ones leanness, And under his glory shall he kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire.
Isa 10:17 The light of Israel shall be a fire, And his Holy One a flame, Which shall burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.
Isa 10:18 The glory of his forest and of his fruitful field From the spirit even to the flesh shall he consume; It shall be with them as when a sick man fainteth.
Isa 10:19 The remaining trees of the forest shall be few, So that a child may write them down.
Isa 10:20 ¶ In that day shall the remnant of Israel, and they that have escaped of the house of Jacob, no more lean upon him that smote them; They shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Isa 10:21 The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty Potentate;
Isa 10:22 For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them shall return. The devastation is decreed; It shall overflow with righteousness.
Isa 10:23 For devastation and punishment doth the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, execute in the midst of the whole land,
Isa 10:24 ¶ Yet thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Fear not, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, because of the Assyrian! With his rod indeed shall he smite thee, And lift up his staff against thee in the manner of Egypt;
Isa 10:25 But yet a very little while, and my indignation shall have past, And my anger shall destroy them.
Isa 10:26 Jehovah of hosts shall raise up against him a scourge, As he smote Midian at the rock of Horeb, And as he lifted up the rod against the sea; Yea, he shall lift it up, as in Egypt.
Isa 10:27 In that day shall his burden be removed from thy shoulder, And his yoke from thy neck; Yea, thy yoke shall be broken, as that of a fat steer.
Isa 10:28 He is come to Aiath; he passeth through Migron; In Michmash he leaveth his baggage;
Isa 10:29 They pass the strait; At Geba they make their night–quarters; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul fleeth.
Isa 10:30 Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Hear, O Laish! Alas, poor Anathoth!

Isa 10:34 He shall hew the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon shall fall by a mighty hand.
Isa 11:1 ¶ Then shall spring forth a shoot from the stem of Jesse, And a sprout grow up from his roots.
Isa 11:2 The spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of the knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah,
Isa 11:3 He shall take delight in the fear of Jehovah; He shall not judge by the sight of his eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of his ears.
Isa 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, And decide with equity for the afflicted of the land; He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; With the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
Isa 11:5 Righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Isa 11:6 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb, And the leopard shall lie down with the kid; The calf, and the young lion, and the fatling shall be together, And a little child shall lead them.
Isa 11:7 The cow and the bear shall feed together, Together shall their young lie down, And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Isa 11:8 The suckling shall play upon the hole of the asp, And the near–weaned child lay his hand on the hiding–place of the basilisk.
Isa 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; For the land shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, As the waters cover the depths of the sea.
Isa 11:10 ¶ In that day shall the shoot of Jesse stand as a banner to the nations, And to him shall the gentiles repair, And his dwelling–place shall be glorious.
Isa 11:11 In that day shall Jehovah the second time stretch forth his hand To recover the remnant of his people, That remaineth, from Assyria, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Elam, And from Shinar, and from Hamath, And from the islands of the sea.
Isa 11:12 He shall set up a banner to the nations, And gather the outcasts of Israel, And bring together the dispersed of Judah, From the four extremities of the earth.
Isa 11:13 Then shall the jealousy of Ephraim depart, And the enmity in Judah be at an end; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, And Judah shall not contend with Ephraim.
Isa 11:14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines at the sea; Together shall they plunder the children of the East; On Edom and Moab shall they lay their hand, And the sons of Ammon shall be subject to them.
Isa 11:15 Then will Jehovah utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea, And shake his hand over the river with a mighty wind, And smite it into seven streams, So that men may go over it dry–shod.
Isa 11:16 And it shall be a highway for the remnant of the people, Which shall remain, from Assyria, As there was to Israel, When he came up from the land of Egypt.
Isa 12:1 ¶ In that day shalt thou say, "I will praise thee, O Jehovah, for, though thou hast been angry with me, Thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortest me.
Isa 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; For Jehovah is my glory, and my song; It is he who was my salvation."
Isa 12:3 Ye shall draw waters with joy from the fountains of salvation;
Isa 12:4 ¶ And in that day ye shall say, "Give thanks to Jehovah; call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people; Give praises, for his name is exalted!
Isa 12:5 Sing to Jehovah, for he hath done glorious things; Be this known in all the earth!
Isa 12:6 Cry aloud, shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee!"
Isa 13:1 ¶ A prophecy concerning Babylon, which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
Isa 13:2 Upon the bare mountain lift up a banner; Cry aloud to them, wave the hand, That they may enter the gates of the tyrants!
Isa 13:3 I have given orders to my consecrated ones, Yea, I have called upon my mighty ones to execute mine anger, My proud exulters!

Isa 13:7 Therefore shall all hands hang down, And every heart of man shall melt.
Isa 13:8 They shall be in consternation; Distress and anguish shall lay hold of them; As a woman in travail shall they writhe; They shall look upon one another with amazement: Their faces shall glow like flames.
Isa 13:9 Behold! the day of Jehovah cometh, Terrible, full of wrath and burning indignation, To make the land a waste, And to destroy the sinners out of it.
Isa 13:10 For the stars of heaven, and the constellations thereof, Shall not give their light; The sun shall be darkened at his going forth, And the moon shall withhold her light.
Isa 13:11 For I will punish the world for its guilt, And the wicked for their iniquity. I will put an end to the arrogance of the proud, And I will bring down the haughtiness of the tyrants.
Isa 13:12 I will make men scarcer than gold; Yea, men than the gold of Ophir.
Isa 13:13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth shall be shaken out of her place, In the anger of Jehovah of hosts, In the day of his burning indignation.
Isa 13:14 Then shall they be like a chased doe; Like a flock, which no one gathereth together; Every one shall turn to his own people, And every one flee to his own land.
Isa 13:15 Every one that is overtaken shall be thrust through, And every one that is caught shall fall by the sword.
Isa 13:16 Their children shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; Their houses shall be plundered, and their wives ravished.
Isa 13:17 Behold, I stir up against them the Medes, Who make no account of silver, And as to gold, they do not regard it.
Isa 13:18 Their bows shall strike down the young men, And on the fruit of the womb they shall have no compassion; Their eye shall not pity the children.
Isa 13:19 ¶ So shall Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The proud ornament of the Chaldeans, Be like Sodom and Gomorrah, which God overthrew,
Isa 13:20 It shall never more be inhabited; Nor shall it be dwelt in through all generations. Nor shall the Arabian pitch his tent there, Nor shall shepherds make their folds there.
Isa 13:21 But there shall the wild beasts of the desert lodge, And owls shall fill their houses; And ostriches shall dwell there, And satyrs shall dance there.
Isa 13:22 Wolves shall howl in their palaces, And jackals in their pleasant edifices. Her time is near, And her days shall not be prolonged.

Isa 14:2 The nations shall take them and bring them to their own place; And the house of Israel shall possess them, in the land of Jehovah, As servants and as handmaids; They shall take captive their captors, And they shall rule over their oppressors.
Isa 14:3 So when Jehovah shall have given thee rest From thy sorrow and thy distress, And from the hard bondage Which was laid upon thee,
Isa 14:4 ¶ Then shall thou utter this song over the king of Babylon, and say, "How hath the tyrant fallen, The oppression ceased!
Isa 14:5 Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, The rod of the tyrants,
Isa 14:6 That smote the people in anger, With a continual stroke, That lorded it over the nations in wrath With unremitted oppression.
Isa 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, is quiet; They break forth into singing.
Isa 14:8 Even the cypress–trees exult over thee, And the cedars of Lebanon: ‘Since thou art fallen, No feller cometh up against us.’
Isa 14:9 The under–world is in commotion on account of thee, To meet thee at thy coming; It stirreth up before thee the shades, all the mighty of the earth; It arouseth from their thrones all the kings of the nations;
Isa 14:10 They all accost thee, and say, ‘Art thou, too, become weak as we? Art thou become like us?’
Isa 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, And the sound of thy harps. Vermin have become thy couch, And worms thy covering.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cast down to the ground, Thou that didst trample upon the nations!
Isa 14:13 Thou saidst in thy heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven, Above the stars of God will I exalt my throne; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north.
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the height of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.’
Isa 14:15 But thou art brought down to the grave, To the depths of the pit.
Isa 14:16 They that see thee gaze upon thee, and view thee attentively, (and say,) ‘Is this the man that made the earth tremble, That shook kingdoms,
Isa 14:17 That made the world a wilderness, And laid waste its cities, And sent not his captives to their homes?’
Isa 14:18 All the kings of the nations, yea, all of them, Lie down in glory, each in his own sepulchre;
Isa 14:19 But thou art cast forth without a grave, Like a worthless branch; Covered with the slain, who are pierced by the sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a carcass trampled under foot.
Isa 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in the grave, Because thou hast destroyed thy country, And slain thy people; The race of evil–doers shall nevermore be named.
Isa 14:21 Prepare ye slaughter for his children, For the iniquity of their fathers, That they may no more arise, and possess the earth, And fill the world with enemies!"
Isa 14:22 For I will arise against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, And I will cut off from Babylon the name and remnant, Posterity and offspring, saith Jehovah.
Isa 14:23 I will make her the possession of the porcupine, and pools of water; Yea, I will sweep her away with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Isa 14:25 To crush the Assyrian in my land, And to trample him on my mountains. Then shall his yoke depart from them, And his burden be removed from their shoulders.
Isa 14:26 This is the purpose which is formed concerning all the earth, And this the hand which is stretched out over all the nations.
Isa 14:27 For Jehovah of hosts hath decreed, and who shall disannul it? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Isa 14:28 In the year in which Ahaz the king died came this prophecy.
Isa 14:29 Rejoice not, all Philistia, Because the rod that smote thee is broken, For from the root of a serpent shall come forth a basilisk, And his fruit shall be a flying, fiery serpent.
Isa 14:30 Then shall the most wretched of the poor feed quietly, And the needy shall lie down in security; For I will kill thy root with famine, And thy remnant shall be slain.
Isa 14:31 Howl, O gate! cry aloud, O city! O Philistia, thou meltest away in terror! For from the north cometh a smoke, And there is no straggler in their hosts.
Isa 14:32 What answer shall be given to the messengers of the nations? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, And in her shall the poor of his people find refuge.
Isa 15:1 ¶ The prophecy concerning Moab. Yea! in the night of assault was Ar of Moab a ruin! In the night of assault was Kir of Moab a ruin!
Isa 15:2 They go up to the temple, and to Dibon, to weep upon the high places; Upon Nebo and upon Medeba doth Moab howl; On every head is baldness, And every beard is shorn.
Isa 15:3 In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; On the tops of their houses and in their public walks every one howleth, And melteth away with weeping.
Isa 15:4 Heshbon and Elealah utter a cry; Even to Jahaz is their voice heard; Therefore the warriors of Moab shriek aloud; Their hearts tremble within them.

Isa 15:8 For the cry encompasseth the borders of Moab; Even to Eglaim reacheth her wailing, To Beer–Elim her howling.
Isa 15:9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; For I bring new evils upon Dimon; Upon him that escapeth of Moab will I send a lion, Even upon him that remaineth in the land.
Isa 16:1 ¶ Send ye the lambs to the ruler of the land, From Selah through the wilderness To the mount of the daughter of Zion!
Isa 16:2 For as a wandering bird, As a forthdriven nest, So shall be the daughters of Moab At the fords of Arnon; [saying,]
Isa 16:3 "Offer counsel; give decision, Make thy shadow at noonday like the darkness of night. Hide the outcasts; Betray not the fugitives.
Isa 16:4 Let my outcasts dwell with thee, [O Zion!] Be thou to them a covert from the spoiler! For the extortion is at an end, The spoiling ceaseth. The oppressors are consumed from the land.
Isa 16:5 Then shall your throne be established through mercy, And upon it shall sit in the house of David A judge searching for justice, and prompt in equity."
Isa 16:6 ¶ "We have beard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud; His haughtiness, and his pride, and his insolence, His vain boastings."
Isa 16:7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab; Every one shall howl; For the ruins of Kir–hares shall ye mourn, In deep affliction.
Isa 16:8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, The lords of the nations break down the choicest shoots of the vine of Sibmah, They reached even to Jazer; they wandered into the desert; Her branches were spread out; they crossed the sea.
Isa 16:9 Therefore I will weep, like Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealah, For upon thy summer fruits, and thy harvest, the war–shout is fallen.
Isa 16:10 Gladness and joy are driven from the fruitful field, And in the vineyards is no singing nor shouting; The treaders tread out no wine in their vats; I have made the vintage–shouting to cease.
Isa 16:11 Therefore shall my bowels sound like a harp for Moab, And my inward parts for Kir–hares.
Isa 16:12 And it shall come to pass that though Moab present himself, Though he weary himself upon his high places, And go up to his sanctuary to pray, Yet shall he not prevail.
Isa 16:13 This is the word which Jehovah spake concerning Moab of old.
Isa 16:14 But now saith Jehovah: Within three years, like the years of a hireling, The glory of Moab shall be put to shame, With all his great multitude; And the remnant shall be very small, and without strength.

Isa 17:2 The cities of Aroer shall be forsaken; They shall be pastures for flocks, Which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Isa 17:3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, and the rest of Syria; It shall be with them as with the glory of the children of Israel, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
Isa 17:4 In that day shall the glory of Jacob sink away, And the fatness of his flesh become leanness.
Isa 17:5 And it shall be as when the harvest–man gathereth the corn, And reapeth the ears with his arm; Yea, as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Isa 17:6 ¶ There shall be left in it only a gleaning, as in the olive–harvest, Two or three berries on the top of the highest bough, Four or five on the fruitful branches, Saith Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Isa 17:7 In that day shall a man have regard to his Maker, And his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 17:8 He shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, Nor have respect to that which his fingers have made, The images of Astarte and the Sun–pillars.
Isa 17:9 ¶ In that day shall his fortified cities be like ruins in the forests, or on the mountain tops, Which the enemy left, in flight from the children of Israel; And the land shall be a desolation.
Isa 17:10 For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; Therefore though thou plant beautiful plants, And set shoots from a foreign soil,
Isa 17:11 When thou hast planted them, though thou hedge them in, And in the morning bring thy plants to the blossom, Yet shall the harvest flee away, In the day of pain and desperate sorrow.
Isa 17:12 ¶ Alas! a tumult of many nations! They rage with the raging of the sea. Alas! a roaring of kingdoms! They roar with the roaring of mighty waters.
Isa 17:13 Like the roaring of mighty waters do the nations roar; He rebuketh them, and they flee away, Driven like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, Like stubble before the whirlwind.
Isa 17:14 At the time of evening, behold, terror! Before morning, behold, they are no more! This is the portion of them that spoil us, And the lot of them that plunder us.
Isa 18:1 ¶ Ho! thou land of rustling wings, Beyond the rivers of Ethiopia!
Isa 18:2 That sendest thy messengers upon the sea, In reed–boats upon the face of the waters: Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and fair, To a people terrible from the first and onward, To a mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers!
Isa 18:3 All ye inhabitants of the world, ye that dwell on the earth, When the standard is lifted up on the mountains, behold! When the trumpet is sounded, hear!
Isa 18:4 For thus hath Jehovah said to me: "I will sit still, and look on from my dwelling–place, Like a serene heat when the sun shineth, Like a dewy cloud in the heat of harvest."
Isa 18:5 But before the vintage, when the bud is gone, And the blossom is ripening into a swelling grape, He shall cut off the shoots with pruning–hooks, And the branches he shall take away and cut down.
Isa 18:6 They shall be left together to the ravenous birds of the mountains, And to the wild beasts of the earth. The ravenous birds shall summer upon it, And every wild beast of the earth shall winter upon it.
Isa 18:7 At that time shall gifts be brought to Jehovah of hosts From a nation tall and fair, From a people terrible from the first and onward, A mighty, victorious people, Whose land is divided by rivers, To the dwelling–place of Jehovah of hosts, to mount Zion.
Isa 19:1 ¶ The prophecy concerning Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, And cometh to Egypt; The gods of Egypt tremble at his presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth within her.
Isa 19:2 "I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians; Brother shall fight against brother, And neighbor against neighbor; City against city, And kingdom against kingdom.
Isa 19:3 The spirit of Egypt shall fail within her, And her devices I will bring to naught. Then shall they consult the idols, and the sorcerers, And the necromancers, and the wizards.
Isa 19:4 But I will give up the Egyptians to the hands of a cruel lord, And a fierce king shall rule over them," Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Isa 19:5 Then shall the waters fail from the river, Yea, the river shall be wasted and dried up.
Isa 19:6 The streams shall become putrid; The canals of Egypt shall be emptied and dried up; The reed and the rush shall wither.
Isa 19:7 The meadows by the river, by the borders of the river, And all that groweth by the river, Shall wither, be blasted, and be no more.
Isa 19:8 Then shall the fishermen mourn; All they that cast the hook into the river shall lament, And they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.
Isa 19:9 They, also, that work in flax, And they that weave white linen, shall be confounded.
Isa 19:10 Her pillars are broken down, And all who labor for hire are grieved in heart.
Isa 19:11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; The wise counsellors of Pharaoh have been stupid in their counsels. How, then, can ye say to Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, The son of ancient kings"?
Isa 19:12 Where are they now, thy wise men? Let them tell thee now, so that men may know it, What Jehovah of hosts hath determined concerning Egypt!
Isa 19:13 The princes of Zoan are become fools; The princes of Noph are deceived, Even the chiefs of her tribes have caused Egypt to err.
Isa 19:14 Jehovah hath mingled within her a spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all her works, As a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.
Isa 19:15 There shall be nothing which can be done by Egypt, By the head, or the tail, the palm–branch, or the rush.
Isa 19:16 In that day shall the Egyptians be like women; They shall tremble and fear On account of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, Which he shall shake against them.
Isa 19:17 The land of Judah shall be a terror to Egypt; Every one to whom it is mentioned shall tremble On account of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, Which he hath determined against them.
Isa 19:18 ¶ In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt Speaking the language of Canaan, And swearing by Jehovah of hosts; One of them shall be called the City of the Sun.
Isa 19:19 In that day there shall be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, And in the border of it a pillar to Jehovah,
Isa 19:20 Which shall be a sign and a witness For Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt, That they cried to Jehovah on account of their oppressors, And he sent them a saviour, and a defender, who delivered them.
Isa 19:21 Thus shall Jehovah be made known to Egypt, And the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, And shall offer him sacrifices and oblations; They shall make vows to Jehovah, and perform them.
Isa 19:22 Thus Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal her; They shall return to Jehovah; Therefore will he hear and heal them.
Isa 19:23 In that day shall there he a highway from Egypt to Assyria, And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, And the Egyptian into Assyria, And the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
Isa 19:24 In that day shall Israel be the third In connection with Egypt and Assyria, A blessing in the midst of the earth.
Isa 19:25 Jehovah of hosts shall bless them, and say, Blessed be Egypt, my people, And Assyria, the work of my hands, And Israel, my inheritance!
Isa 20:1 ¶ In the year in which Tartan, being sent by Sargon, the king of Assyria, came to Ashdod, and fought against Ashdod, and took it,
Isa 20:2 at that time spake Jehovah through Isaiah the son of Amoz in this manner: Go, and loose the sackcloth from thy loins, and put off thy shoes from thy feet. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
Isa 20:3 And Jehovah said: As my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a token for Egypt and Ethiopia,
Isa 20:4 so shall the king of Assyria lead the captives of Egypt, and prisoners of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, with their hind parts uncovered, to the shame of the Egyptians.
Isa 20:5 Then shall they be afraid and ashamed on account of Ethiopia their trust, and of Egypt their glory.

Isa 21:2 A grievous vision was revealed to me; The plunderer plundereth, and the destroyer destroyeth. "Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! All sighing do I make to cease."
Isa 21:3 Therefore are my loins full of pain; Pangs have seized me, as the pangs of a woman in travail; For convulsions I cannot hear; For anguish I cannot see.
Isa 21:4 My heart panteth, Terror hath seized upon me; The evening of my desire is changed into horror.
Isa 21:5 The table is prepared; the watch is set; They eat; they drink; "Arise, ye princes! Anoint the shield!"
Isa 21:6 For thus said the Lord unto me: "Go, set a watchman, Who shall declare what he seeth."
Isa 21:7 And he saw a troop, horsemen in pairs, Riders on asses, and riders on camels, And he watched with the utmost heed.
Isa 21:8 Then he cried like a lion: "My Lord, I stand continually upon the watch–tower in the daytime, And keep my post all the night;
Isa 21:9 And behold, there cometh a troop, Horsemen in pairs." Again also he lifted up his voice, and said: "Fallen, fallen is Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods are cast broken to the ground."
Isa 21:10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor! What I have heard from Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, That have I declared to you.
Isa 21:11 ¶ The prophecy concerning Dumah. A voice came to me from Seir: "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"

Isa 21:13 ¶ The prophecy against the Arabians. In the thickets of Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedan!
Isa 21:14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema Bring water to the thirsty; They come to meet the fugitive with bread.
Isa 21:15 For they flee from swords, From the drawn sword, And from the bent bow, And from the fury of war.
Isa 21:16 For thus saith the Lord to me: Within one year, according to the years of a hireling, Shall all the glory of Kedar be consumed.
Isa 21:17 The remainder of the mighty bowmen of the sons of Kedar shall be diminished; For Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath said it.
Isa 22:1 ¶ The prophecy concerning the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, That all thine inhabitants are gone up to the house–tops?
Isa 22:2 Thou that wast full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city! Thy slain fall not by the sword; They are not slain in battle.
Isa 22:3 All thy leaders flee together, By the bowmen are they bound; All found within thee are made captive together, Even they who have fled from afar.
Isa 22:4 Therefore, say I, look away from me, that I may weep bitterly; Strive not to comfort me for the desolation of the daughter of my people!
Isa 22:5 For a day of trouble, of desolation, and of perplexity cometh From the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision. They break down the walls; The cry reacheth to the mountains.
Isa 22:6 Elam beareth the quiver, With chariots full of men, and with horsemen; Kir uncovereth the shield.
Isa 22:7 Thy fairest valleys, [O Jerusalem,] are full of chariots; The horsemen set themselves in array against the gate;
Isa 22:8 ¶ The veil of Judah is torn from her. But in such a day ye look to the armor of the house of the forest;
Isa 22:9 Ye mark how many are the breaches of the city of David, And collect the waters of the lower pool;
Isa 22:10 Ye number the houses of Jerusalem, And ye break down the houses to prepare the wall;
Isa 22:11 Ye make a reservoir between the two walls for the waters of the old pool; But ye look not to Him who hath done this; Ye regard not Him that hath prepared this from afar.
Isa 22:12 The Lord, Jehovah of hosts, calleth you this day To weeping and to lamentation, To baldness and to girding with sackcloth.
Isa 22:13 But, behold, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating flesh and drinking wine! "Let us eat and drink, For to–morrow we die!"
Isa 22:14 Therefore it hath been revealed in my ears by Jehovah of hosts; "This iniquity shall not be forgiven you, till ye die," Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Isa 22:15 ¶ Thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Go in to this steward, To Shebna, who is over the household, and say,
Isa 22:16 What hast thou here, and whom hast thou here, That thou here hewest thee out a sepulchre,––That thou hewest out thy sepulchre on high, And gravest out a habitation for thyself in the rock?
Isa 22:17 Behold, Jehovah will cast thee headlong with a mighty thrust;
Isa 22:18 He will violently roll thee together like a ball; Like a ball will he hurl thee into a wide country. There shalt thou die; And there shall be thy splendid chariots, Thou disgrace of the house of thy lord!
Isa 22:19 I will drive thee from thy post, And from thy station I will pull thee down.
Isa 22:20 In that day I will call my servant, Even Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah;
Isa 22:21 I will clothe him with thy robe, And bind thy girdle around him; Thy government will I commit to his hand, And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
Isa 22:22 I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; He shall open, and none shall shut, And he shall shut, and none shall open.
Isa 22:23 I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, And he shall be a glorious seat for his father’s house.
Isa 22:24 Upon him shall hang all the glory of his father’s house, The offspring and the offshoots; Every small vessel, from the goblet even to all the pitchers.
Isa 22:25 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, The peg that was once fastened in a sure place shall be moved; It shall be cut down, and fall, And the burden which was upon it shall come to the ground. For Jehovah hath said it.
Isa 23:1 ¶ The prophecy concerning Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste; No house, no entrance is left! From the land of the Chittaeans were the tidings brought to them.
Isa 23:2 Be amazed, ye inhabitants of the sea–coast, Which the merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, did crowd!
Isa 23:3 Upon the wide waters, the corn of the Nile, The harvest of the river, was her revenue; She was the mart of the nations.
Isa 23:4 Be thou ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea hath spoken, The fortress of the sea hath spoken thus: "I have not travailed, nor brought forth children; I have not nourished youths, nor brought up virgins."
Isa 23:5 When the tidings shall reach Egypt, They shall be filled with anguish at the tidings concerning Tyre.
Isa 23:6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; Howl, ye inhabitants of the sea–coast!
Isa 23:7 Is this your joyous city, Whose antiquity is of ancient days? Now her own feet bear her To sojourn far away.
Isa 23:8 Who hath purposed this against Tyre, The dispenser of crowns, Whose merchants are princes, Whose traders the nobles of the earth?
Isa 23:9 Jehovah of hosts hath purposed it, To bring down the pride of all glory, To humble the nobles of the earth.
Isa 23:10 Go over thy land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish! Now thy bonds are broken.
Isa 23:11 He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, He hath made the kingdoms tremble; Jehovah hath given commandment concerning Canaan To destroy her strong holds.
Isa 23:12 He hath said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, Thou ravished virgin, daughter of Sidon! Arise, pass over to the Chittaeans; Yet even there shalt thou have no rest.
Isa 23:13 Behold the land of the Chaldaeans, Who, not long ago, were not a people,––The Assyrian assigned it to the inhabitants of the wilderness,––They raise their watch–towers; They destroy her palaces; They make her a heap of ruins.
Isa 23:14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish! For your stronghold is destroyed.
Isa 23:15 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, That Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, According to the days of one king; But at the end of seventy years It shall be with Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
Isa 23:16 "Take thy lyre, go about the city, O harlot, long forgotten; Make sweet melody; sing many songs, That thou mayst again be remembered!"
Isa 23:17 At the end of seventy years shall Jehovah show regard to Tyre, And she shall return to her hire, And play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world, That are upon the face of the earth.
Isa 23:18 But her gain and her hire shall be holy to Jehovah; It shall not be treasured, nor laid up in store; But it shall be for them that dwell before Jehovah, For abundant food, and for splendid clothing.
Isa 24:1 ¶ Behold, Jehovah emptieth and draineth the land; Yea, he turneth it upside down, and scattereth its inhabitants.
Isa 24:2 As with the people, so is it with the priest; As with the servant, so with the master; As with the maid, so with the mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the borrower, so with the lender; As with the usurer, so with the giver of usury.
Isa 24:3 The land is utterly emptied and utterly plundered; For Jehovah hath spoken this word.
Isa 24:4 The land mourneth, and withereth; The world languisheth, and withereth; The nobles of the people of the land do languish.
Isa 24:5 The land was polluted under its inhabitants, Because they transgressed the law, they violated the statutes, They broke the everlasting covenant.
Isa 24:6 Therefore a curse devoured the land; Its inhabitants suffered for their guilt; Therefore are the inhabitants of the land consumed with heat, And few of the men are left.
Isa 24:7 The new wine mourneth; The vine languisheth; All that were of a joyful heart do sigh;
Isa 24:8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth; The noise of them that rejoice is at an end; The joy of the harp ceaseth.
Isa 24:9 No more do they drink wine with the song; Strong drink is bitter to them that use it.
Isa 24:10 The city of desolation is broken down; Every house is closed, so that none can enter.
Isa 24:11 There is a cry for wine in the streets; All gladness is departed; The mirth of the land is gone;
Isa 24:12 Desolation is left in the city, And the gate is smitten into ruins.
Isa 24:13 ¶ Yea, thus shall it be in the land, in the midst of the people, As when the olive–tree has been shaken; As the gleaning, when the vintage is ended.
Isa 24:14 These shall lift up their voice, and sing; Yea, for the majesty of Jehovah they shall shout from the sea.
Isa 24:15 Wherefore praise ye Jehovah in the East, The name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea!
Isa 24:16 ¶ From the end of the earth we hear songs: "Glory to the righteous!" But I cry, Alas, my wretchedness, my wretchedness! woe is me! The plunderers plunder; the plunderers seize the spoil.
Isa 24:17 The terror, the pit, and the snare Are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land!
Isa 24:18 Whoso fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit, And whoso escapeth from the pit, He shall be taken in the snare; For the floodgates of heaven are opened, And the foundations of the earth tremble.
Isa 24:19 The earth is utterly broken down; The earth is shattered in pieces; The earth is violently moved from her place.
Isa 24:20 The earth reeleth like a drunkard, It moveth to and fro like a hammock; For her iniquity lieth heavy upon her, And she shall fall and rise no more.
Isa 24:21 In that day will Jehovah punish the host of the high ones that are on high, And the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Isa 24:22 They shall be thrown together bound into the pit, And shall be shut up in the prison, But after many days shall they be visited.
Isa 24:23 The moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed, When Jehovah of hosts shall reign in mount Zion and Jerusalem, And his glory shall be before his ancients.
Isa 25:1 ¶ O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee; I will praise thy name, For thou hast done wonderful things; Thine ancient purposes are faithfulness and truth.
Isa 25:2 Thou hast made the city a heap; The fortified city a ruin. The palace of the barbarians is to be no more a city! It shall never be built again.
Isa 25:3 Therefore shall mighty kingdoms praise thee; The cities of the terrible nations shall honor thee;
Isa 25:4 For thou hast been a defence to the poor; A defence to the needy in his distress; A refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, When the rage of tyrants was like a storm against a wall.
Isa 25:5 As heat in a dry land is made to vanish, So thou puttest down the tumult of the barbarians; As heat is allayed by a thick cloud, So the triumph of the tyrants is brought low.
Isa 25:6 ¶ Then in this mountain shall Jehovah of hosts prepare for all nations A feast of fat things, and wines kept on the lees; Of fat things full of marrow, of wines kept on the lees well refined.
Isa 25:7 He will destroy in this mountain the covering that was cast over all people, And the veil that was spread over all nations.
Isa 25:8 He will destroy death forever; The Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces, And the reproach of his people will he take away from the whole earth; For Jehovah hath said it.
Isa 25:9 ¶ In that day shall men say, "Behold, this is our God; We waited for him, and he hath saved us; This is Jehovah, for whom we waited; Let us rejoice and exult in his salvation."
Isa 25:10 For the hand of Jehovah shall rest upon this mountain, And Moab shall be trodden down in his place, As straw is trodden down in a dung–pool.
Isa 25:11 And he shall stretch out his hands in the midst of it, As the swimmer stretcheth out his hands to swim, But God shall put down his pride, Together with the devices of his hands.
Isa 25:12 And the high bulwarks of thy walls will he lay low; He will bring them down to the ground; he will lay them in the dust.
Isa 26:1 ¶ In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; His aid doth God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
Isa 26:2 Open ye the gates, That the righteous nation may enter in, The nation that keepeth the truth.
Isa 26:3 Him that is of a steadfast mind Thou wilt keep in continual peace, Because he trusteth in thee.
Isa 26:4 Trust ye in Jehovah forever, For the Lord Jehovah is an everlasting rock.
Isa 26:5 ¶ For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the fortress; The lofty city he hath laid low; He hath laid her low even to the ground; He hath levelled her with the dust.
Isa 26:6 The foot trampleth upon her, The feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.
Isa 26:7 The way of the upright is a smooth way; Thou, O most righteous, doth level the path of the upright!
Isa 26:8 In the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for thee; The desire of our souls is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
Isa 26:9 My soul longeth for thee in the night, And my spirit within me seeketh thee in the morning; For when thy judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Isa 26:10 Though favor be shown to the wicked, He will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, And have no regard to the majesty of Jehovah.
Isa 26:11 Thy hand, O Jehovah, is lifted up, yet do they not see; But they shall see with shame thy zeal for thy people; Yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
Isa 26:12 ¶ Thou, O Jehovah, wilt give us peace; For all our works thou doest for us.
Isa 26:13 O Jehovah, our God, other lords have had dominion over us besides thee; Only through thee do we call upon thy name.
Isa 26:14 They are dead, they shall not live; They are shades, they shall not rise. For thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused all the memory of them to perish.
Isa 26:15 "Thou wilt enlarge the nation, O Jehovah! Thou wilt enlarge the nation; thou wilt glorify thyself; Thou wilt widely extend all the borders of the land.
Isa 26:16 O Jehovah, in affliction they sought thee; They poured out their prayer, when thy chastisement was upon them.
Isa 26:17 As a woman with child, when her delivery is near, Is in anguish, and crieth aloud in her pangs, So have we been, far from thy presence, O Jehovah!
Isa 26:18 We have been with child; we have been in anguish, Yet have, as it were, brought forth wind. To the land we bring no deliverance; Nor are the inhabitants of the land born.
Isa 26:19 O might thy dead live again, Might the dead bodies of my people arise! Awake, and sing, ye that dwell in the dust! For thy dew is like the dew upon plants, And the earth shall bring forth her dead."
Isa 26:20 ¶ Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee; Hide thyself for a little moment, Until the indignation be overpast!
Isa 26:21 For behold, Jehovah cometh forth from his place, To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth shall disclose her blood, And shall no longer cover her slain.
Isa 27:1 ¶ In that day will Jehovah punish with his sword, His hard, and great, and strong sword, The leviathan, that fleet serpent, Even the leviathan, that winding serpent; Yea, he will slay the monster, that is in the sea.
Isa 27:2 In that day, sing ye thus concerning the vineyard:
Isa 27:3 "I, Jehovah, am its guardian; I will water it every moment; That no one may assault it, I will watch it day and night.
Isa 27:4 There is no fury in me; But let me find the thorns and thistles in battle. I will go against them, And burn them up together,
Isa 27:5 Unless they take hold of my protection, And with me make peace, And make peace with me."
Isa 27:6 In coming days shall Jacob take root, And Israel flourish and bud forth, And fill the world with fruit.
Isa 27:7 ¶ Did he smite Israel, as he smote those that smote him? Was he slain as those that slew him?
Isa 27:8 In measure, by sending her away, didst thou punish her, Taking her away in the rough tempest, in the day of the east wind.
Isa 27:9 By this, therefore, is the iniquity of Jacob expiated, And this is wholly the fruit of the removal of his sin, That He has made the stones of the altar like limestones broken in pieces, And that the images of Astarte and the sun–pillars no more stand.
Isa 27:10 For the fortified city is desolate, A habitation forsaken, deserted like a wilderness; There doth the calf feed, and there doth he lie down, And consume her branches.
Isa 27:11 When her boughs are withered, they are broken off; Women come, and burn them; For it was a people of no understanding; Therefore he that made him had not mercy on him, And he that formed him showed him no favor.
Isa 27:12 But it shall come to pass in that day, That Jehovah shall gather fruit From the stream of the Euphrates to the river of Egypt, And ye shall be gathered, one by one, ye children of Israel!
Isa 27:13 In that day shall a great trumpet be sounded, And they shall come who are lost in the land of Assyria, And are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship Jehovah upon the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Isa 28:1 ¶ Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, To the fading flower, his glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley of a people stupefied with wine.
Isa 28:2 Behold a strong, a mighty one from the Lord Like a storm of hail, like a destructive tempest, Like a flood of mighty, overflowing waters, With violence shall dash it to the ground.
Isa 28:3 It shall be trodden under foot, The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim.
Isa 28:4 And the fading flower, their glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley, Shall be as the early fig before the time of harvest, Which whoso seeth plucketh immediately, And swalloweth as soon as it is in his hand.
Isa 28:5 In that day shall Jehovah of hosts Be a glorious crown, and a beautiful diadem to the residue of his people;
Isa 28:6 A spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, And of strength to them that drive back the enemy to their gates.
Isa 28:7 But even these stagger through wine, And reel through strong drink; The priest and the prophet stagger through strong drink; They are overpowered with wine; They stumble through strong drink; They reel in vision, They stagger in judgment.
Isa 28:8 For all their tables are full of filthy vomit, So that there is no place clean.
Isa 28:9 ¶ "Whom," say they, "will he teach knowledge, And to whom will he impart instruction? To the weaned from the milk? To those just taken from the breast?
Isa 28:10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there."
Isa 28:11 Yea, with stammering lips and a strange tongue He shall indeed speak to this people;
Isa 28:12 He that said to them, "This is the way of rest, give rest to the weary; This is the way of safety"; But they would not hear.
Isa 28:13 Then shall the word of Jehovah be indeed to them "Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there," So that they shall go on, and fall backwards, and be broken, And be snared and caught.
Isa 28:14 ¶ Wherefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, Ye scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem!
Isa 28:15 Since ye say, "We have entered into a covenant with death, And with the under–world have we made an agreement, The overflowing scourge, when it passeth through, shall not reach us; For we have made falsehood our refuge, And in deceit we have hidden ourselves."
Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have laid in Zion as a foundation a stone, A tried stone, a precious corner–stone, a sure foundation; He that trusteth shall not flee away.
Isa 28:17 I will make justice a line, And righteousness a plummet, And the hail shall sweep away the refuge of falsehood, And the waters shall overwhelm its hiding–place;
Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be broken, And your agreement with the under–world shall not stand; When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, By it shall ye be beaten down.
Isa 28:19 As often as it passeth through, it shall bear you away; For every morning shall it pass through, By day and by night; Even to hear the rumor of it shall be terrible.
Isa 28:20 Yea, the bed is too short for one to stretch himself on it, And the covering too narrow for one to wrap himself in it.
Isa 28:21 For Jehovah will rise up, as in mount Perazim; He will be moved with anger, as in the valley of Gibeon, To perform his act, his strange act, And to execute his work, his strange work.
Isa 28:22 Now, therefore, be ye no longer scoffers, Lest your bands become stronger; For destruction and punishment have been revealed to me From Jehovah of hosts concerning the whole land!
Isa 28:23 ¶ Give ear, and listen to my voice, Attend, and hearken to my words!
Isa 28:24 Is the ploughman always ploughing in order to sow? Is he always opening and harrowing his field?
Isa 28:25 When he hath made the face thereof even, Doth he not then scatter the dill, and cast abroad the cumin, And sow the wheat in rows, And the barley in its appointed place, And the spelt in his border?
Isa 28:26 Thus his God rightly instructeth him, And giveth him knowledge.
Isa 28:27 The dill is not beaten out with the thrashing–sledge, Nor is the wheel of the wain rolled over the cumin; But the dill is beaten out with a staff, And the cumin with a rod.
Isa 28:28 Bread–corn is beaten out, Yet doth not the husbandman thrash it without limit. He driveth over it the wheels of the wain, And the horses, yet doth he not utterly crush it.
Isa 28:29 This also proceedeth from Jehovah of hosts; He is wonderful in counsel, Excellent in wisdom.
Isa 29:1 ¶ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, The city where David dwelt! Add year to year, Let the festivals go round,
Isa 29:2 Then will I distress Ariel; Mourning and sorrow shall be there; Yet shall she be to me as Ariel [the lion of God].
Isa 29:3 I will encamp against thee round about, And I will lay siege against thee with a mound, And I will raise towers against thee.
Isa 29:4 Thou shalt be brought down, and speak from the ground, And thy speech shall be low from the dust; Thy voice shall be like that of a spirit under ground, And thy speech shall chirp as from the dust.
Isa 29:5 Yet shall the multitude of thine enemies be like fine dust; The multitude of the terrible like flying chaff; It shall take place suddenly, in a moment.
Isa 29:6 From Jehovah of hosts cometh the visitation With thunder, and earthquake, and great noise, With storm and tempest, And flames of devouring fire.
Isa 29:7 As a dream, a vision of the night, Shall be the multitude of all the nations That fight against Ariel, That fight against her and her fortress, And distress her.
Isa 29:8 As a hungry man dreameth, and lo! he eateth, But awaketh and is still hungry; And as a thirsty man dreameth, and lo! he drinketh, But awaketh, and lo! he is faint and thirsty; So shall it be with the multitude of all the nations That fight against mount Zion.
Isa 29:9 ¶ Be in amazement and be amazed! Be blinded and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger, but not with strong drink!
Isa 29:10 For Jehovah hath poured upon you a spirit of slumber; He hath closed your eyes, the prophets, And covered your heads, the seers;
Isa 29:11 And so every vision is to you as the words of a sealed book, Which is given to a man that is skilled in writing, Saying, "Read this, I pray thee"; But he answereth, "I cannot, for it is sealed."
Isa 29:12 Or, if he give it to one that is not skilled in writing, Saying, "Read this, I pray thee," He answereth, "I am not skilled in writing."
Isa 29:13 Therefore saith the Lord, Since this people draweth near to me with their mouth, And honoreth me with their lips, While their heart is far from me, And their worship of me is according to the commandments of men,
Isa 29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to deal marvellously with this people; Marvellously and wonderfully, For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the prudence of the prudent shall be hid.
Isa 29:15 Woe to them that hide deep their purposes from Jehovah, Whose work is in darkness; That say, Who seeth us? Who knoweth us?
Isa 29:16 Alas, your perverseness! Is the potter to be esteemed as the clay, That the work should say of its maker, He made me not? And the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?
Isa 29:17 ¶ Is it not yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be changed to a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed a forest.
Isa 29:18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, And out of mist and darkness shall the eyes of the blind see.
Isa 29:19 The afflicted shall exceedingly rejoice in Jehovah, And the poor shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 29:20 For the oppressor hath come to naught; the scoffer is destroyed; And all that watched for iniquity are cut off;
Isa 29:21 Who condemned a man in his cause, And laid snares for him who defended himself in the gate, And with falsehood caused the righteous to fail.
Isa 29:22 Therefore concerning the house of Jacob thus saith Jehovah, He that redeemed Abraham: No more shall Jacob be ashamed, And no more shall his face grow pale.
Isa 29:23 For when his children behold the work of my hands in the midst of them, They shall honor my name. They shall honor the Holy One of Jacob, And reverence the God of Israel.
Isa 29:24 They that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, And the obstinate shall receive instruction.
Isa 30:1 ¶ Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, Who form plans, and not from me, And make covenants without my spirit, That they may add sin to sin!
Isa 30:2 Who go down into Egypt, Without inquiring at my mouth, To seek refuge in Pharaoh’s protection, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
Isa 30:3 The protection of Pharaoh shall be your shame; Your trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Isa 30:4 For their princes are at Zoan, Their ambassadors have arrived at Hanes.
Isa 30:5 But they are all ashamed of a people that do not profit them; That are no help and no profit, But only a shame and a reproach.
Isa 30:6 The loaded beasts go southward. Through a land of anguish and distress, Whence come forth the lioness, and the fierce lion, The viper, and the flying fiery serpent; On the shoulders of young asses they carry their wealth, And on the bunches of camels their treasures, To a people that will not profit them!
Isa 30:7 Vain and empty is the help of Egypt; Wherefore I call her, The Blusterer that sitteth still.
Isa 30:8 ¶ Go now, write this on a tablet before them; Note it down upon a book, That it may remain for future times, A testimony forever!
Isa 30:9 For this is a rebellious people, false children; Children who will not hear the law of Jehovah;
Isa 30:10 Who say to the seers, "See not!" And to the prophets, "Prophesy not right things; Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy falsehood!
Isa 30:11 Turn aside from the way, Depart from the path, Remove from our sight the Holy One of Israel!"
Isa 30:12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Since ye despise this word, And trust in oppression and perverseness, And lean thereon,
Isa 30:13 Therefore shall this iniquity be to you Like a breach ready to give way, That swelleth out in a high wall, Whose fall cometh suddenly, in an instant.
Isa 30:14 It is broken like a potter’s vessel, Which is dashed in pieces and not spared, So that among its fragments not a sherd is found to take up fire from the hearth, Or to dip water from the cistern.
Isa 30:15 For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: By a return and by rest shall ye be saved; In quietness and confidence is your strength;
Isa 30:16 But ye would not. Ye said, "No! we will bound along upon horses"; Truly ye shall bound along in flight. "We will ride upon swift coursers"; But they shall be swift that pursue you.
Isa 30:17 A thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one, And ten thousand at the rebuke of five, Till what remains of you shall be as a beacon on the top of a mountain, As a banner upon a hill.
Isa 30:18 ¶ And yet will Jehovah wait to be gracious to you, And yet will he arise to have mercy upon you; For Jehovah is a righteous God; Happy are all they who wait for him!
Isa 30:19 For, O people of Zion, that dwellest in Jerusalem, Thou shalt not always weep! He will be very gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry; No sooner shall he hear it, than he will answer thee.
Isa 30:20 Though Jehovah hath given thee the bread of distress, and the water of affliction, Yet shall thy teachers be hidden from thee no more; But thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
Isa 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a voice behind thee, Saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it!" When ye turn aside to the right hand, or to the left.
Isa 30:22 Ye shall treat as defiled the silver coverings of your graven images, And the golden clothing of your molten images, Ye shall cast them away as an unclean thing; Away! shall ye say to them.
Isa 30:23 Then will he give rain for thy seed, With which thou shalt sow the ground, And the bread–corn, the produce of the land, shall be rich and nourishing; Then shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Isa 30:24 The oxen also, and the young asses, that till the ground, Shall eat well–seasoned provender, Which hath been winnowed with the shovel and the fan.
Isa 30:25 And on every lofty mountain, And on every high hill, Shall be brooks and streams of water, In the day of the great slaughter, When the towers fall.
Isa 30:26 Then shall the light of the moon be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, [As the light of seven days,] When Jehovah bindeth up the bruises of his people, And healeth the wound which they have received.
Isa 30:27 ¶ Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from afar, His anger burneth, and violent is the flame, His lips are full of indignation, And his tongue like a devouring fire.
Isa 30:28 His breath is like an overflowing torrent, That reacheth even to the neck; He will toss the nation with the winnowing–fan of destruction; He will put a bridle upon the jaws of the people, that shall lead them astray.
Isa 30:29 But ye shall then sing as in the night of a solemn festival; Your heart shall be glad, like his who marcheth with the sound of the pipe To the mountain of Jehovah, to the rock of Israel.
Isa 30:30 Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, And the blow of his arm to be seen, With furious anger, and flames of devouring fire; With flood, and storm, and hailstones.
Isa 30:31 For by the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be beaten down; He will smite him with the rod.
Isa 30:32 And as often as the appointed rod shall strike, Which Jehovah shall lay heavily upon him, It shall be accompanied with tabrets and harps; And with fierce battles will he fight against him.
Isa 30:33 For long hath the burning place been prepared; Yea, for the king hath it been made ready; The pile is made deep and broad; There is fire and wood in abundance; The breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, kindle it.
Isa 31:1 ¶ Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, And put their trust in horses, And confide in chariots, because they are many, And in horsemen, because their number is great, But look not to the Holy One of Israel, And resort not to Jehovah.
Isa 31:2 Yet he, too, is wise; He will bring evil, and not take back his words; He will arise against the house of the evil–doers, And against the help of them that do iniquity.
Isa 31:3 The Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, Then shall the helper fall, and the helped be overthrown; And they shall all perish together.
Isa 31:4 For thus hath Jehovah said to me: As when the lion and the young lion growl over their prey, And a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, By their noise he is not terrified, Nor by their tumult disheartened; So shall Jehovah of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and her hill.
Isa 31:5 As birds hover over their young, So shall Jehovah of hosts defend Jerusalem; He will defend and deliver, spare and save.
Isa 31:6 ¶ Turn, O ye children of Israel, To him from whom ye have so deeply revolted! For in that day shall every one cast away his idols of
Isa 31:7 silver and his idols of gold, Which your hands have made for sin.
Isa 31:8 The Assyrian shall fall by a sword not of man, Yea, a sword not of mortal shall devour him; He shall flee before the sword, And his young warriors shall be slaves.
Isa 31:9 Through fear shall he pass beyond his stronghold, And his princes shall be afraid of the standard. Thus saith Jehovah, who hath his fire in Zion, And his furnace in Jerusalem.
Isa 32:1 ¶ Behold! a king shall reign in righteousness, And princes shall rule with equity.
Isa 32:2 Every one of them shall be a hiding–place from the wind, And a shelter from the tempest; As streams of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Isa 32:3 The eyes of them that see shall no more be blind, And the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Isa 32:4 The heart of the rash shall gain wisdom, And the tongue of the stammerer learn to speak plainly.
Isa 32:5 The vile shall no more be called liberal, Nor the niggard said to be bountiful;
Isa 32:6 For the vile will still utter villany, And his heart will devise iniquity; He will practise deception, and speak impiety against God; He will take away the food of the hungry, And deprive the thirsty of drink.
Isa 32:7 The instruments also of the niggard are evil; He plotteth mischievous devices, To destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the cause of the needy is just.
Isa 32:8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things, And in liberal things will he persevere.
Isa 32:9 ¶ Arise, hear my voice, ye women that are at ease! Give ear to my speech, ye careless daughters!
Isa 32:10 One year more, and ye shall tremble, ye careless women! For the vintage shall fail; the harvest shall not come.
Isa 32:11 Tremble, O ye that are at ease! Be in dismay, ye careless ones! Strip you, make you bare, gird ye sackcloth upon your loins!
Isa 32:12 They shall smite themselves on their breasts, On account of the pleasant fields, On account of the fruitful vine.
Isa 32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; Yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
Isa 32:14 For the palace shall be forsaken; The tumult of the city shall be solitary; The fortified hill and the tower shall be dens forever; The joy of wild–asses, the pasture of flocks;
Isa 32:15 Until the spirit from on high be poured upon us, And the wilderness become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed a forest.
Isa 32:16 Then shall justice dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness in the fruitful field.
Isa 32:17 And the effect of righteousness shall be peace, And the fruit of righteousness quiet and security forever.
Isa 32:18 Then shall my people dwell in peaceful habitations, In secure dwellings, in quiet resting–places.
Isa 32:19 But the hail shall descend, and the forest shall fall; And the city shall be brought very low.
Isa 32:20 Happy ye who sow beside all waters; Who send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass!
Isa 33:1 ¶ Woe to thee, thou spoiler, who hast not been spoiled! Thou plunderer, who hast not been plundered! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; When thou hast finished plundering, they shall plunder thee.
Isa 33:2 O Jehovah, have mercy upon us! in thee do we trust; Be thou our strength every morning, Our salvation in the time of trouble.
Isa 33:3 At the voice of thy thunder the people flee; When thou dost arise, the nations are scattered.
Isa 33:4 Your spoil shall be gathered, as the locust gathereth; As the locust runneth, so shall they run upon it.
Isa 33:5 Jehovah is exalted; Yea, he dwelleth on high; He filleth Zion with justice and righteousness.
Isa 33:6 There shall be security in thy times; Wisdom and knowledge shall be thy store of prosperity, And the fear of Jehovah, this shall be thy treasure!
Isa 33:7 Behold, the mighty men cry without: The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Isa 33:8 The highways are desolate; The traveller ceaseth; He breaketh the covenant; he despiseth the cities; Of men he maketh no account.
Isa 33:9 The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is put to shame, and withered away; Sharon is like a desert, And Bashan and Carmel are stripped of their leaves.
Isa 33:10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah, Now will I exalt myself, Now will I lift myself up.
Isa 33:11 Ye shall conceive chaff, and bring forth stubble; Your own wrath is the fire which shall devour you.
Isa 33:12 The nations shall be burnt into lime; Like thorns cut down, they shall be consumed with fire.
Isa 33:13 ¶ Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; Mark, ye that are near, my power!
Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are struck with dread; Terror hath seized upon the unrighteous: "Who among us can dwell in devouring fire? Who among us can dwell in everlasting flames?"
Isa 33:15 He that walketh in righteousness, And speaketh that which is right, That despiseth the gain of oppression, And shaketh his hands from bribery, That stoppeth his ears, so as not to hear of blood, And shutteth his eyes, so as not to behold iniquity.
Isa 33:16 He shall dwell on high; The strongholds of rocks shall be his defence; His bread shall be given him; His water shall not fail.
Isa 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his glory They shall survey a wide–extended land.
Isa 33:18 Thy heart shall meditate on the past terror: "Where now is the scribe? Where the weigher of tribute? Where he that numbered the towers?"
Isa 33:19 Thou shalt see no more a fierce people, A people of a dark language, which thou couldst not hear, And of a barbarous tongue, which thou couldst not understand;
Isa 33:20 Thou shalt see Zion, the city of our solemn feasts; Thine eyes shall behold Jerusalem, as a quiet habitation. A tent that shall never be moved, Whose stakes shall never be taken away, And whose cords shall never be broken.
Isa 33:21 For there the glorious Jehovah will be to us Instead of rivers and broad streams, Which no oared galley shall pass, And no gallant ship go through.
Isa 33:22 For Jehovah is our judge; Jehovah is our lawgiver; Jehovah is our king; it is he that will save us.
Isa 33:23 Thy ropes hang loose; They cannot hold the mast–socket, Nor can they spread the sail. Then shall a great spoil be divided; Even the lame shall take the prey.
Isa 33:24 No inhabitant shall say, I am sick; The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Isa 34:1 ¶ Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from it!
Isa 34:2 For the wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up to slaughter.
Isa 34:3 Their slain shall be cast out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down with their blood.
Isa 34:4 And all the hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted fruit from the fig–tree.
Isa 34:5 For my sword hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
Isa 34:6 The sword of Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Isa 34:7 The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground enriched with fat.
Isa 34:8 For Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause of Zion.
Isa 34:9 ¶ Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole land shall become burning pitch.
Isa 34:10 Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; From generation to generation it shall lie waste; None shall pass through it for ever and ever.
Isa 34:11 The pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring–line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
Isa 34:12 Her nobles––none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
Isa 34:13 Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, A court for ostriches.
Isa 34:14 The wild–cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night–spectre light, And find a place of rest.
Isa 34:15 There also shall the arrow–snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, Every one with her mate.
Isa 34:16 Search ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather them.
Isa 34:17 He shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
Isa 35:1 ¶ The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad, And the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose;
Isa 35:2 It shall blossom abundantly, and exult with joy and singing; The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it; The beauty of Carmel and Sharon; They shall behold the glory of Jehovah, The majesty of our God;
Isa 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, And confirm the tottering knees!
Isa 35:4 Say ye to the faint–hearted, "Be ye strong; fear ye not; Behold your God! Vengeance cometh, the retribution of God; He will come and save you!"
Isa 35:5 ¶ Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, And the ears of the deaf be unstopped.
Isa 35:6 Then shall the lame leap like the hart, And the tongue of the dumb shall sing; For in the wilderness shall waters break forth, And streams in the desert.
Isa 35:7 The glowing sands shall become a pool, And the thirsty ground springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where they lie, Shall be a place for reeds and rushes.
Isa 35:8 And a path shall be there, and a highway, And it shall be called the holy way; No unclean person shall pass over it; it shall be for them alone; He that therein goeth in this way, though a fool, shall not err therein.
Isa 35:9 No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; It shall not be found there; But the redeemed shall walk there.
Isa 35:10 Yea, the ransomed of Jehovah shall return; They shall come to Zion with songs: Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Isa 36:1 ¶ In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Isa 36:2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, with a great army, against King Hezekiah, and he halted at the aqueduct of the upper pool, in the highway to the fuller’s field.
Isa 36:3 Then came forth to him Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and Josh, the son of Asaph, the annalist.
Isa 36:4 And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria: What a confidence is this which thou cherishest!
Isa 36:5 Thou sayest, (but it is vain talk,) "I have counsel and strength for war." In whom, then, dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
Isa 36:6 Behold, thou trustest in that broken reed–staff, Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will pierce his hand, and go through it. Such is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all that trust in him.
Isa 36:7 But if ye say to me, "We trust in Jehovah, our God,"––is it not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem to worship before this altar?
Isa 36:8 Engage, now, with my master, the king of Assyria! and I will give thee two thousand horses, when thou art able to provide for thyself riders for them.
Isa 36:9 How, then, canst thou resist a single captain, one of the least of the servants of my master? Yet thou trustest in Egypt, on account of her chariots and her horsemen.
Isa 36:10 And am I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah hath said to me, "Go up against this land and destroy it!"
Isa 36:11 ¶ Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Josh to Rabshakeh: Speak, we beseech thee, to thy servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jewish language, in the hearing of the people that are upon the wall.
Isa 36:12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to speak these words to thy master and to thee only, and not to the people who sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?
Isa 36:13 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Isa 36:14 Thus saith the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you.
Isa 36:15 And let not Hezekiah persuade you to trust in Jehovah, saying, "Jehovah will certainly deliver us. This city shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of Assyria."
Isa 36:16 Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus saith the king of Assyria: Make peace with me, and come out to me; and ye shall every one eat of his own vine, and every one of his own fig–tree, and ye shall every one drink the waters of his own cistern,
Isa 36:17 until I come, and take you to a land like your own land; a land of corn, and of new wine, a land of bread and of vineyards.
Isa 36:18 Be not persuaded by Hezekiah, when he saith, "Jehovah will deliver us." Have the gods of the nations delivered every one his own land from the hand of the king of Assyria? Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arphad?
Isa 36:19 Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And did the gods deliver Samaria from my hand?
Isa 36:20 Who is there among all the gods of these lands, that hath delivered his land out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Isa 36:21 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king’s command was, "Answer him not."
Isa 36:22 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the annalist, to Hezekiah, with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Isa 37:1 ¶ And when the king, Hezekiah, heard it, he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
Isa 37:2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
Isa 37:3 And they said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of contempt; for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Isa 37:4 It may be that Jehovah, thy God, will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, hath sent to reproach the living God, and to revile him with the words which Jehovah, thy God, hath heard. Do thou, therefore, lift up thy prayer for the remnant of the people, that is yet left.
Isa 37:5 And 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: Be not afraid on account of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Isa 37:7 Behold, I will put a spirit within him, so that he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Isa 37:8 ¶ Then Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Isa 37:9 Then he heard concerning Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, that it was said, "He is come forth to war against thee." And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah and said,
Isa 37:10 Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isa 37:11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands; how they have utterly destroyed them. And shalt thou be delivered?
Isa 37:12 Did the gods of the nations which my father destroyed, deliver them? Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden in Telassar?
Isa 37:13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Henah, and of Ivah?
Isa 37:14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then he went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
Isa 37:15 And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, saying,
Isa 37:16 O Jehovah of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest between the cherubs, thou alone art the God of 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, which he hath sent to reproach the living God.
Isa 37:18 In truth, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations, and their lands,
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; and they have destroyed them.
Isa 37:20 But do thou, 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: Whereas thou hast prayed to me on account of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria,
Isa 37:22 This is the word which Jehovah hath spoken against him. The virgin, the daughter of Zion, despiseth thee; she laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head after thee.
Isa 37:23 Whom hast thou reproached, and reviled, And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, And lifted up thine eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 37:24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and said: "With the multitude of my chariots have I ascended the heights of the mountains, the extremities of Lebanon; I have cut down its tall cedars, and its choice cypress–trees; I have come to its utmost height, to its garden forest.
Isa 37:25 I have digged and drunk water, And with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt."
Isa 37:26 Hast thou not heard, that of old I ordained it, And from ancient times purposed it? Now have I brought it to pass, That thou shouldst convert fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
Isa 37:27 Therefore were their inhabitants of little strength; They were dismayed and confounded; They were as the grass of the field, and the green herb; As grass upon the house–top, and as corn blasted, before it is grown up.
Isa 37:28 I know thy sitting down, thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy rage against me.
Isa 37:29 Because thy rage against me, and thy insolence, is come up into my ears, I will put my ring into thy nose, And my bridle into thy lips, And turn thee back by the way in which thou camest.
Isa 37:30 And this shall be the sign to thee; Eat this year that which groweth of itself, And in the second year that which groweth of itself, And in the third year ye shall sow and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
Isa 37:31 And the remnant of the house of Judah, that have escaped, Shall again strike root downward, And bear fruit upward.
Isa 37:32 For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And they that have escaped from mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
Isa 37:33 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the king of Assyria; He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow into it; He shall not present a shield before it, Nor cast up a mound against it.
Isa 37:34 By the way in which he came, by the same shall he return, And into this city shall he not come, saith Jehovah.
Isa 37:35 For I will defend this city, and deliver it, For mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
Isa 37:36 Then an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty–five thousand men; and when the people arose early in the morning, behold they were all dead corpses.
Isa 37:37 Then Sennacherib, king of Assyria, decamped, and went away, and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Isa 37:38 And as he was worshipping in the temple of Nisroch, his god, he was slain with the sword by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer, who escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his stead.
Isa 38:1 ¶ In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death; and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, Set thy house in order, for thou shalt die, and not live.
Isa 38:2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and made his supplication to Jehovah.
Isa 38:3 And he said, I beseech thee, O Jehovah, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thine eyes! And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Isa 38:4 Then came the word of Jehovah to Isaiah,
Isa 38:5 Go in and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer; I have seen thy tears. Behold, I will add to thy life fifteen years.
Isa 38:6 And I will deliver thee and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
Isa 38:7 And this shall be the sign to thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do that which he hath spoken.
Isa 38:8 Behold, I will cause the shadow upon the dial, which hath gone down upon the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to go back ten degrees. So the sun went back ten degrees, which degrees it had gone down.
Isa 38:9 ¶ The writing of Hezekiah, king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered from his sickness.
Isa 38:10 I said: "Now, in the quiet of my days, shall I go down to the gates of the under–world; I am deprived of the residue of my years."
Isa 38:11 I said: "No more shall I see Jehovah, Jehovah in the land of the living. I shall behold man no more Among the inhabitants of stillness.<
