1902 by Joseph Rotherham
Isa 1:1 ¶ The vision of Isaiah, son of Amoz, which he saw, concerning Judah and Jerusalem,––in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah,––kings of Judah.
Isa 1:2 ¶ Hear, O heavens, And give ear, O earth, for, Yahweh, hath spoken:––Sons, have I brought up, and advanced, And, they, have rebelled against me.
Isa 1:3 An ox, knoweth, his owner, And an ass, his masters crib,––Israel, doth not know, My people, doth not consider.
Isa 1:4 Alas! a nation––committing sin, a people––burdened with iniquity, a seed––practising wickedness, sons––acting corruptly. They have, forsaken Yahweh, despised the Holy One of Israel,––Are estranged and gone back.
Isa 1:5 Why should ye be smitten any more? Ye would again, turn aside! The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint:
Isa 1:6 From the sole of the foot, even unto the head, there is in it no soundness, Bruise and stripe and newly–made wound,––They have not been pressed out, nor bound up, nor soothed with oil.
Isa 1:7 Your country––is a desolation, Your cities––are consumed with fire,––Your soil––right before your eyes, foreigners are devouring it, And it is a desolation, a very overthrow by foreigners;
Isa 1:8 And left, is the Daughter of Zion, Like a hut in a vineyard,––Like a lodge in a gourd–plot, Like a city besieged.
Isa 1:9 If, Yahweh of hosts, had not left us a very small remnant, Like Sodom, had we become, Gomorrah, had we resembled.
Isa 1:10 ¶ Hear the word of Yahweh, ye rulers of Sodom,––Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah:––
Isa 1:11 Of what use to me, is your multitude of sacrifices? Saith Yahweh: I am sated with ascending–offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts,––In the blood of bulls and young rams and he–goats, have I no pleasure.
Isa 1:12 When ye enter to see my face, Who hath required this at your hand, trampling my courts?
Isa 1:13 Ye shall not again, bring in an empty, present, Incense, an abomination, is that, unto me! New moon, and sabbath, calling an assembly––I cannot endure, iniquity and sacred festival!
Isa 1:14 Your new moons, and your appointed feasts, my soul, hateth,––They have become unto me a burden I am too weary to bear:
Isa 1:15 Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply, prayers, I am not hearkening,––Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled.
Isa 1:16 ¶ Wash you, make you clean, Put away the wickedness of your doings from before mine eyes,––Cease to do evil.
Isa 1:17 Learn to do well––Seek justice, Correct the oppressor,––Vindicate the fatherless, Plead the cause of the widow.
Isa 1:18 Come, I pray you, and let us settle the dispute, Saith Yahweh,––Though your sins be found like scarlet, As snow, shall they be made white, Though they appear red like crimson, As wool, shall they become.
Isa 1:19 If ye be willing––and hearken, Of the good of the land, shall ye eat;
Isa 1:20 But, if ye refuse and rebel, With the sword, shall ye be devoured, For, the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken it.
Isa 1:21 ¶ How, hath she become unchaste!––The city that was Faithful,––Full of justice, Righteousness lodged in her, But, now, murderers!
Isa 1:22 Thy silver, hath become dross,––Thy wine, weakened with water;
Isa 1:23 Thy rulers, are unruly, and companions of thieves, Every one of the people, loveth a bribe, and runneth after rewards,––The fatherless, they do not vindicate, And, the plea of the widow, reacheth them not.
Isa 1:24 Therefore, Declareth the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel,––Alas! I must appease me on mine adversaries, I must avenge me on mine enemies;
Isa 1:25 That I may turn my hand against thee, And smelt away, as with potash, thy dross, And remove all thine alloy;
Isa 1:26 That I may restore, thy Judges, as at the first, and, thy Counselors, as at the beginning,––After that, shalt thou be called, Righteous, citadel, Trusty, city,––
Isa 1:27 Zion, with justice, shall be redeemed,––And, her returning ones, with righteousness;
Isa 1:28 And, the downfall of transgressors and sinners, shall be, together,––And, they who forsake Yahweh, shall be brought to an end;
Isa 1:29 For they shall turn pale on account of the oaks, which ye desired,––And ye shall blush on account of the gardens, which ye had chosen;
Isa 1:30 For ye shall be as an oak with its leaf faded, And as a garden, that hath no, water;
Isa 1:31 Then shall the strong, one become tow, And his work, a spark,––And they shall both blaze together, And there be none, to quench the fire.
Isa 2:1 ¶ That which Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw in vision,––concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Isa 2:2 But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, That the mountain of the house of Yahweh, Shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, And be exalted above the hills,––And all the nations, shall stream thereunto;
Isa 2:3 And many peoples shall go, and say––Come ye, and let us ascend, Unto the mountain of Yahweh, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us of his ways, And we may walk in his paths,––For, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, And the word of Yahweh out of Jerusalem;
Isa 2:4 And he will judge between the nations, And be umpire to many peoples,––And they will beat, their swords into ploughshares, and, their spears into pruning–hooks, Nation––against nation, shall not lift up sword, Neither shall they learn any more to make war.
Isa 2:5 O house of Jacob! come ye, and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
Isa 2:6 ¶ Therefore, hast thou abandoned thy people, the house of Jacob, Because, they have become full of the East, And use hidden arts, like the Philistines,––And, with the children of foreigners, strike hands; ––
Isa 2:7 So that filled, is their land with silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures,––And filled, is their land with horses, And there is no end to their chariots;
Isa 2:8 And filled, is their land with idols,––To the work of their own hands, do they bow themselves down, To that which they made with their own fingers.
Isa 2:9 So the mean man boweth down, And the great man stoopeth low,––Therefore do not thou forgive them!
Isa 2:10 ¶ Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust,––Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic, splendour.
Isa 2:11 The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down,––And Yahweh alone, shall be exalted, in that day.
Isa 2:12 For, a day of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be]––Upon every one who is high and lofty,––And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low;
Isa 2:13 And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,––And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
Isa 2:14 And upon all the lofty mountains,––And upon all the uplifted, hills;
Isa 2:15 And upon every high tower,––And upon every fortress wall;
Isa 2:16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish,––And upon all desirable, banners.
Isa 2:17 And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled,––And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low,––And Yahweh alone, shall be exalted, in that day.
Isa 2:18 And, the idols, shall wholly, pass away;
Isa 2:19 And they shall enter, into the holes of the rocks, and, into the caves of clay,––Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic, splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isa 2:20 In that day, shall the son of earth cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold,––which had been made for him to worship, into the hole of the mice, and to the bats;
Isa 2:21 That he may enter, into the clefts of the rocks, and, into the fissures of the crags,––Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic, splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isa 2:22 Cease ye from the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath,––For, wherein, to be reckoned, upon, is he?
Isa 3:1 ¶ For lo! the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, removing from Jerusalem and from Judah, The stay and staff,––The whole stay of bread, And the whole stay of water:
Isa 3:2 Man of might, and man of war,––Judge and prophet, And diviner and elder;
Isa 3:3 Captain of fifty, and favourite; And counselor, and skilled artificer, And master of magical formulas;
Isa 3:4 And I will appoint, boys, to be their princes,––And, petulant children, shall rule over them,
Isa 3:5 And the people, will tyrannise, Every man over his fellow–man, And every man over his friend,––And they will rage, The boy, against, the elder, And, the despised, against, the honourable,
Isa 3:6 When a man, shall lay hold, on his brother, of the house of his father, [saying]––Clothing, hast thou, Become thou our, ruler, This downfall, be under thy hand.
Isa 3:7 He will swear, in that day, saying––I will take no control, When, in mine own house, is neither food nor clothing,––Ye must not set me, for a ruler of people!
Isa 3:8 For stumbled, hath Jerusalem, and, Judah, hath fallen,––Because, their tongue and their doings, are against Yahweh, Provoking his glorious, presence.
Isa 3:9 ¶ The show of their face, hath answered against them, And, their sin––like Sodom, have they told, they have not concealed it. Alas for their souls! For, they, have requited, to, themselves, calamity.
Isa 3:10 Say ye to the righteous, It is well! For, the fruit of their doings, shall they eat:
Isa 3:11 Alas! for the lawless, it is ill, For, what his own hand hath matured, shall be done to him.
Isa 3:12 My people! children, are their tyrants, And, women, rule over them,––My people! they who should lead thee forward, are causing thee to stray, Thy pathways, have they destroyed.
Isa 3:13 Yahweh, hath taken his station to plead,––And is standing to judge peoples:
Isa 3:14 Yahweh, into judgment, will enter, With the elders of his people, And their princes,––But, ye, have consumed the vineyard, That which hath been robbed from the oppressed, is in your houses.
Isa 3:15 What right have ye to crush my people, And, the faces of the oppressed, to grind? Demandeth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts––And Yahweh saith––
Isa 3:16 ¶ Because haughty, are the daughters of Zion, And they walk with neck thrown back, and wanton eyes,––Tripping along as they go, And, with their feet, making, a tinkling sound,
Isa 3:17 Therefore will My Lord, smite with leprosy, the crown of hair of the daughters of Zion,––And, as for Yahweh, their shame, will he lay bare!
Isa 3:18 In that day, will My Lord remove the finery––of the anklets, and the little suns, and the little moons;
Isa 3:19 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;
Isa 3:20 the chaplets, and the armlets, and the girdles, and the scent–cases, and the amulets;
Isa 3:21 the rings, and the nose–jewels;
Isa 3:22 the robes, and the over–tunics, and the cloaks, and the purses;
Isa 3:23 and the mirrors, and the linen wraps, and the tiaras, and the cloaks.
Isa 3:24 And it shall come to pass–That, instead of fragrance, a putrid odour, shall be, And, instead of a girdle, an encircling rope, And, instead of braided hair, baldness, And, instead of a festal robe, a girding of sackcloth, Branding instead of beauty:
Isa 3:25 Thy males, by the sword shall fall,––And, thy mighty men, by the war;
Isa 3:26 And her gates shall mourn and lament,––And, forsaken, on the ground, shall she sit.
Isa 4:1 ¶ And seven women will take hold of one man, in that day, saying, Our own bread, will we eat, And, our own apparel, will we wear,––Only, let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
Isa 4:2 ¶ In that day, Shall, the Bud of Yahweh, become beautiful and glorious,––And, the Fruit of the Land, splendid and majestic, To the escaped of Israel.
Isa 4:3 And it shall come to pass––He that is left in Zion, And, he that remaineth in Jerusalem, Shall be called, holy,––Everyone written unto life in Jerusalem.
Isa 4:4 When My Lord shall have bathed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, And, the blood–guiltiness of Jerusalem, he shall wash away out of her midst,––By the spirit of judgment, and, By the spirit of thorough cleansing,
Isa 4:5 Then will Yahweh, create––Over all the home of Mount Zion and, Over her assembly, A cloud by day, and a smoke, And the shining of a fire–flame, by night,––For, over all the glory, shall be a canopy;
Isa 4:6 And, a pavilion, shall there be, For a shade by day, from the heat,––and, For a refuge, and for a shelter, from storm and from rain.
Isa 5:1 ¶ Let me sing, I pray you, for a well–beloved of mine, The song of my beloved, concerning his vineyard:––A vineyard, had my well–beloved, on a very fruitful hill;
Isa 5:2 And he thoroughly digged it, And gathered out the stones thereof, And planted it with a precious vine, And built a tower in the midst thereof, Moreover also, a wine–press, hewed he therein,––Then waited he, that it should bring forth grapes. And it brought forth wild, grapes:
Isa 5:3 Now, therefore, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, And men of Judah,––Judge, I pray you, betwixt me, and my vineyard:––
Isa 5:4 What could have been done further, to my vineyard, That I had not done in it? Why then––When I had waited that it should bring forth grapes, Brought it forth wild, grapes?
Isa 5:5 Now, therefore, I pray you, let me tell, you, what I, am about to do to my vineyard,––To take away the fence thereof, And it shall be eaten up, To destroy the wall thereof, And it shall be trodden down;
Isa 5:6 And I will make it a waste; ––It shall be neither pruned nor hoed, But there shall come up briars and thorns,––And, upon the clouds, will I lay a charge, That they rain thereon no rain.
Isa 5:7 Surely, the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts, is the house of Israel, And, the men of Judah, are the plantation in which he dearly delighted,––And he waited, For, equity, but lo! murderous iniquity, For the rule of right, but lo! the cry of the wronged.
Isa 5:8 ¶ Alas! for them who join house to house, Field to field, bring they near,––Until there is no room, But ye are left to dwell alone, in the midst of the land.
Isa 5:9 In mine ears, [said] Yahweh of hosts,––Verily, houses in abundance, shall become, a desolation, Large and fair, without inhabitant;
Isa 5:10 For, ten yokes of vineyard, shall yield, one bath,––And, the seed of a homer, shall yield an ephah.
Isa 5:11 Alas, for them who rise early in the morning that, strong drink, they may pursue,––Who follow on in the evening cool, [until], with wine, they are heated;
Isa 5:12 And it cometh to pass––that lyre and harp, timbrel and flute, and wine, are in their banquets,––But, the doing of Yahweh, they do not discern, And, the work of his hands, have they not seen.
Isa 5:13 Therefore, are my people taken away captive, before they know it,––And, their honourable men, are famished with hunger, And, their multitude, do gape for thirst.
Isa 5:14 Therefore, hath hades enlarged, her desire, And opened her mouth to its widest,––And their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that is uproarious, shall descend, thereinto.
Isa 5:15 And the mean man hath been bowed down, And the mighty man hath been humbled,––Yea, the looks of the haughty, shall be humbled.
Isa 5:16 But Yahweh of hosts, hath been exalted, in justice,––And, the GOD that is holy, hath been hallowed in righteousness;
Isa 5:17 Then shall the young rams feed, where they please,––And, the wastes of the wealthy, shall strangers consume.
Isa 5:18 ¶ Alas! for them, Who draw on themselves punishment, with cords of falsehood,––And, as with waggon–bands, penalty:
Isa 5:19 Who say––Let his work quicken––let it hasten, That we may see,––And let the purpose of Israel’s Holy One, draw near and come, That we may know!
Isa 5:20 Alas! for them, Who call evil good, and good evil,––Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Isa 5:21 Alas! for them, Who are wise in their own eyes,––And, in their own sight, are prudent.
Isa 5:22 Alas! for them, Who are heroes, to drink wine,––And men of valour, to mingle strong drink,
Isa 5:23 Who justify the lawless, for a bribe,––Whereas, the righteousness of the righteous, they take from him.
Isa 5:24 Therefore, As a tongue of fire, eateth up straw, And a flame reduceth, dry grass, to powder, Their root, like rottenness, shall become, And, their blossom, like dust, shall ascend,––Because they refused the law of Yahweh of hosts, And, the utterance of the Holy One of Israel, they despised.
Isa 5:25 For this cause, did the anger of Yahweh kindle, upon, his own people, And he stretched out his hand against them and smote them––So that the mountains, trembled, And, their dead bodies, served, for fuel, in the midst of the streets. For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But, still, is his hand outstretched,
Isa 5:26 Therefore will he lift up an ensign to the nations afar off, And signal for him from the end of the earth,––And lo! with hot haste, will he come:
Isa 5:27 None shall be weary, and none shall stumble in his midst, He shall neither slumber nor sleep,––Nor shall be loosened, the girdle of his loins, Nor snapped, the thong of his sandals:
Isa 5:28 Whose arrows, are sharpened, and, all his bows, bent,––The hoofs of his horses, like flint, are accounted, And, his wheels, [are] like a storm–wind:
Isa 5:29 A roar, hath he, like a lioness,––He will roar like wild lions––And will growl, and lay hold on prey, and carry into safety, and there be none, to deliver.
Isa 5:30 Yea he will growl at him, in that day, like the growling of the sea,––Though he look hard for the land, lo! the darkness of distress, Yea, the light, hath grown dark in its clouds!
Isa 6:1 ¶ In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw My Lord, sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and, his skirts, did fill the temple.
Isa 6:2 Seraphim, were standing above him; six wings severally, had each one,––With twain, he covered his face, And, with twain, he covered his feet, And, with twain, he did fly.
Isa 6:3 And they continued crying out one to another, and said, Holy––holy––holy, is Yahweh of hosts,––the fulness of the whole earth, is his glory.
Isa 6:4 And the foundations of the porch, were moved, at the voice of him that cried,––and, the house, was filled with smoke.
Isa 6:5 ¶ Then said I––Woe to me!––for I am undone, Because, a man of unclean lips, am, I, And, in the midst of a people of unclean lips, do, I, dwell,––For, the King, Yahweh of hosts, have mine eyes seen!
Isa 6:6 Then flew unto me, one of the seraphim, And, in his hand, a live coal,––With tongs, had he taken it from off the altar.
Isa 6:7 Then touched he my mouth, and said––Lo! this hath touched thy lips,––Thus shall be taken away, thine iniquity, And, thy sin, by propitiation be covered.
Isa 6:8 Then heard I the voice of My Lord, saying, Whom, shall I send? And who, will go for us? And I said––Here am I,––send me.
Isa 6:9 ¶ Then said he––Go and say unto this people,––Hear on, but do not discern, See on, but do not perceive:
Isa 6:10 Stupefy thou the heart of this people, And, their ears, make thou heavy, And, their eyes, overspread,––Lest they see with their eyes, And, with their ears, should hear, And, their heart, should discern and come back. And they be healed.
Isa 6:11 Then said I––How long, My Lord? And he said––Until the time that, Cities be wasted, through, having no inhabitant, And houses––through having no men, And, the ground, be laid waste unto desolation;
Isa 6:12 And Yahweh have far removed, men,––And great, be the abandonment in the midst of the land.
Isa 6:13 Yet still, shall there be in it a tenth, Though it again, be consumed,––Like an oak and like a terebinth, Which, when felled, have a stock in them, A holy seed, shall be the stock thereof.
Isa 7:1 ¶ And it came to pass, in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, came up, to Jerusalem, to war against it,––but could not, prevail against it.
Isa 7:2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria hath settled down upon Ephraim. Then shook his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of a forest shake, before a wind.
Isa 7:3 Then said Yahweh, unto Isaiah, Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear–jashub thy son,––unto the end of the channel of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller’s field;
Isa 7:4 and say unto him––Take heed and keep thyself calm––do not fear, neither let, thy heart, be faint, because of these two fag–ends of smoking firebrands,––in spite of the glow of the anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah.
Isa 7:5 Because Syria, hath taken counsel, against thee, for mischief,––[with] Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
Isa 7:6 Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and break it open, for ourselves,––and set up a king in the midst thereof, even the son of Tabeal.
Isa 7:7 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh,––It shall not stand, Neither shall it come to pass!
Isa 7:8 For, though the head of Syria, is Damascus, And the head of Damascus is Rezin, Yet, within threescore and five years more, shall Ephraim be broken, that it shall not be a people;
Isa 7:9 Even though, the head of Ephraim, is Samaria, And, the head of Samaria, is the son of Remaliah. If ye trust not, Surely ye cannot be trusted!
Isa 7:10 ¶ And again, spake Yahweh unto Ahaz, saying––
Isa 7:11 Ask thee a sign, of Yahweh thy God,––Go down deep for a request, Or ascend on high!
Isa 7:12 But Ahaz said,––I will not ask, Nor will I put Yahweh to the proof.
Isa 7:13 Then said he––Hear, I pray you, O house of David! Is it, too little, for you to weary, men, that ye must weary, even my God?
Isa 7:14 Wherefore, let My Lord Himself give, you a sign,––Lo! a Virgin, being with child and giving birth to a son, thou wilt call his name Immanuel.
Isa 7:15 Curds and honey, shall he eat, by the time that he knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good;
Isa 7:16 for, before the boy knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good, forsaken, shall be the land, at which, thou, art alarmed, of the presence of both her kings.
Isa 7:17 ¶ Yahweh will bring, upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have not come, from the day when Ephraim departed from Judah,––even the king of Assyria.
Isa 7:18 And it shall come to pass, in that day, that Yahweh will give a signal––To the fly that is in the uttermost part of the Nile–canals of Egypt, And to the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Isa 7:19 And they shall all of them, come and settle down––In the desolate torrent–valleys, And in the rents of the crags,––And on all the thorn–bushes, And on all the pastures.
Isa 7:20 In that day, will My Lord shave, with a hired, razor, even with them of the lands over the River[=Euphrates], with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet,––yea, even the beard, will it sweep off.
Isa 7:21 And it shall come to pass, in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
Isa 7:22 Yea it shall come to pass, for the abundance of the yield of milk, that he shall eat curds,––for, curds and honey, shall every one eat, that is left in the midst of the land.
Isa 7:23 And it shall some to pass, in that day, that, every place wherein there used to be a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver,––yea, even for briars and thorns, shall it be.
Isa 7:24 With arrows and with a bow, shall one come in thither,––for, briars and thorns, shall be all the land.
Isa 7:25 But, all the hills which, with the hoe, can be weeded,––there shall not come thither, the fear of briars and thorns,––but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the tread of lesser cattle.
Isa 8:1 ¶ And Yahweh said unto me: Take thee a large tablet,––and write thereon, in plain characters, To Maher–shalal–hash–baz. ["Speed–spoil–hurry–prey".]
Isa 8:2 That I may take in attestation, faithful witnesses,––even Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
Isa 8:3 Then approached I unto the prophetess, and she conceived, and bare a son,––and Yahweh said unto me, Call his name Maher–shalal–hash–baz.
Isa 8:4 For before the boy shall have knowledge to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, shall be carried away, before the king of Assyria.
Isa 8:5 And again, Yahweh spake unto me, yet further, saying:
Isa 8:6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah which flow softly,––and are rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
Isa 8:7 now therefore, lo! the Lord is about to bring up against them, the waters, strong and many, of the River[=Euphrates], even the king of Assyria, and all his glory,––and he shall rise over all his channels, and flow over all his banks;
Isa 8:8 and roll on throughout Judah––overflow and pass along, till, unto the neck, he shall reach,––and it shall be, that, the stretching out of his wings, shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
Isa 8:9 ¶ Rage, O ye peoples,––and be overthrown, And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth,––Gird yourselves and be overthrown, Gird yourselves, and be overthrown:
Isa 8:10 Determine a plan,––and it shall be frustrated,––Speak a word, and it shall not stand, For With–us–is–GOD!
Isa 8:11 For, thus, spake Yahweh unto me, like a firm grasp of the hand,––when he admonished me, not to walk in the way of this people, saying:
Isa 8:12 Ye shall not say––A confederacy! of everything of which this people, may say, A confederacy! And, their fear, shall ye not fear or regard as awful:
Isa 8:13 Yahweh of hosts, him, shall ye hallow,––And let, him, be your fear, and let, him, inspire you with awe;
Isa 8:14 So shall he become a hallowed asylum,––But a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over, unto both houses of Israel, A trap and a snare to the dweller in Jerusalem;
Isa 8:15 And many, shall stumble among them,––and fall and be torn, and snared, and captured.
Isa 8:16 ¶ Bind thou up the testimony,––Seal the instruction amongst my disciples.
Isa 8:17 I will therefore long for Yahweh, Who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob,––And will wait, for him.
Isa 8:18 Lo! I, and the children whom Yahweh hath given, me, are for signs and for wonders, in Israel,––from Yahweh of hosts, who is making his habitation in Mount Zion.
Isa 8:19 But, when they say unto you––Seek ye unto the necromancers and unto the wizards, who chirp, and who mutter, Should not a people seek, unto its God? In behalf of the living, [should it seek] unto the dead?
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, [It is] because they have no, dawning day.
Isa 8:21 Therefore shall they pass through it, hard pressed and hungry,––And it shall be, when they hunger, then will they rage and revile their king and their god, and turn their faces upwards;
Isa 8:22 And, unto the land, shall they look hard, And lo! distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, driven away!
Isa 9:1 ¶ For there is no gloom to her who had been in anguish, In the former time, he brought into dishonour, The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, In the latter time, hath he brought into honour, The Lake–way over the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Isa 9:2 The people who were walking in darkness, Have seen a great light,––The dwellers in a land death–shadowed, A light, hath shined upon them.
Isa 9:3 Thou hast increased the exultation Thou hast made great the joy,––They joy before thee, according to the joy of harvest, As men exult when they distribute spoil.
Isa 9:4 For, the yoke of their burden, The cross–bar of their shoulder, The goad of their driver, Hast thou broken, as in the day of Midian.
Isa 9:5 Surely, every boot of one tramping in tumult, and the war–cloak rolled in blood, Then shall serve for burning, food for fire;
Isa 9:6 For, A Child, hath been born to us, A Son, hath been given to us, And the dominion is upon his shoulder,––And his Name hath been called, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty GOD, Father of Futurity, Prince of Prosperity.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end––Upon the throne of David, and, Upon his kingdom, By establishing it, and, By sustaining it, With justice, and, With righteousness,––From henceforth, Even unto times age–abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!
Isa 9:8 ¶ A word, hath My Lord sent unto Jacob,––And it shall alight on Israel;
Isa 9:9 And the people shall all, of them know [it]––Ephraim and the dweller in Samaria–Who, in pride and insolence of heart, are saying:
Isa 9:10 Bricks, have fallen down, But, with hewn stone, will we build,––Sycomores, have been felled, But, with cedars, will we replace them.
Isa 9:11 Therefore will Yahweh strengthen the adversaries of Resin against him,––And his enemies will he arouse:
Isa 9:12 Syrians before, and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth,––For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But, still, is his hand outstretched.
Isa 9:13 Yet, the people, have not turned unto him that smote them,––And, Yahweh of hosts, have they not sought.
Isa 9:14 Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel––Head and tail, Palm–top and rush, In one day.
Isa 9:15 The elder and favourite, he, is the head,––And, the prophet teaching falsehood, he, is the tail;
Isa 9:16 And, they who should have led this people forward, have been causing them to stray,––And, they who are led of them, are destroyed,
Isa 9:17 For this cause, over their choice young men, will My Lord not rejoice, And, on their fatherless and their widows, will he not have compassion, For, every one of them, is profane and an evildoer, And, every mouth, is speaking baseness,––For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But, still, is his hand outstretched.
Isa 9:18 For lawlessness, hath consumed like fire, Briars and thorns, doth it devour,––Yea it hath kindled upon the thickets of the forest, And they have rolled up, as a column of smoke.
Isa 9:19 Through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, is the land consumed,––And, the people, have come to be, as fuel for fire, A man, unto his own brother, sheweth not pity;
Isa 9:20 And he hath slain on the right, and yet is hungry, And hath eaten on the left, yet are they not satisfied,––Every one, the flesh of his own, arm, will they eat:
Isa 9:21 Manasseh––Ephraim, and Ephraim––Manasseh, They together––against Judah,––For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But, still, is his hand outstretched.
Isa 10:1 ¶ Alas! for them who ordain iniquitous decrees,––And, busy writers, who make a business of writing, mischief:
Isa 10:2 Turning aside, from judgment, the poor, And robbing, of justice, the oppressed of my people,––So that, widows, become, their spoil, And, of the fatherless, they make prey.
Isa 10:3 What, then, will ye do for the day of visitation, And for the devastation which, from afar, shall come? Unto whom, will ye flee for help? And where, will ye leave your gory?
Isa 10:4 Without me, one hath bowed under a prisoner Yea, under the slain, do they fall! For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But, still, is his hand outstretched.
Isa 10:5 ¶ Alas! for Assyria, the rod of mine anger,––Yea, the very staff in their hand, is, my displeasure:
Isa 10:6 Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea, against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him,––To capture spoil, And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes.
Isa 10:7 But, as for him, not so, doth he deem, And, in his heart, not so, doth he think,––For, to destroy, is in his heart, And to cut off nations, not a few;
Isa 10:8 For he saith:––Are not, my generals, all alike, kings?
Isa 10:9 Is not, Calno, like Carchemish? Is not, Hamath, like Arpad? Is not, Samaria, like Damascus?
Isa 10:10 As my hand hath reached unto the kingdoms of idols,––whose images did excel them of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Isa 10:11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so, do to Jerusalem and her images?
Isa 10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass––When My Lord shall finish his whole work upon Mount Zion, and upon Jerusalem, I will bring punishment––Upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the king of Assyria, And upon the vainglory of his uplifted eyes.
Isa 10:13 For he hath said––By the strength of mine own hand, have I effectually wrought, And by my wisdom––for I have discernment,––That I might remove the bounds of peoples, Yea, their treasures, have I plundered, That I might lay prostrate, as a mighty one, the inhabitants;
Isa 10:14 And my hand, hath found as a nest, the wealth of the peoples, And, as the gathering of eggs that are forsaken, all the earth, have, I, gathered,––And there was none to flap a wing, or open a mouth, or chirp.
Isa 10:15 Shall the axe, boast itself, against him that heweth therewith? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what is, not wood!
Isa 10:16 Therefore, shall the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Send, among his fat ones, leanness, And, under his glory, shall he kindle, a kindling, like the kindling of fire;
Isa 10:17 So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And, his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume his thorns and his briars, in one day;
Isa 10:18 And, the glory of his forest and of his garden land, both soul and body, shall it bring to an end,––And it shall be like the wasting away of a consumptive.
Isa 10:19 And, the remnant of his forest–trees, few in number, shall become,––yea, a child, might describe them!
Isa 10:20 ¶ And it shall come to pass, in that day, That the remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Shall, no more again, lean upon him that smote them,––But shall lean upon Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Isa 10:21 A remnant, shall return, The remnant of Jacob,––unto the mighty GOD;
Isa 10:22 For, though thy people, O Israel, shall be as the sand of the sea, A [mere] remnant, shall return of them,––A full end decreed, bringeth in, justice, like a flood;
Isa 10:23 For, a full end and that a decreed one, is My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, executing in the midst of all the earth.
Isa 10:24 ¶ Therefore, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Do not fear, O my people dwelling in Zion, because of Assyria,––When, with his rod, he would smite thee, And when, his staff, he would lift up against thee, in the manner of Egypt;
Isa 10:25 For, yet a very little while, and displeasure shall end, Yea, mine anger, over their destruction.
Isa 10:26 And Yahweh of hosts, will brandish over him, a scourge––Like the smiting of Midian, at the rock Oreb,––And, his staff [being] over the sea, He will lift it up in the manner of Egypt;
Isa 10:27 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That his burden, shall remove, from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck,––Yea, the yoke shall be broken, because of fatness.
Isa 10:28 He hath come in unto Ayyath, Hath passed through Migron,––At Michmash, storeth his baggage:
Isa 10:29 They have passed over the pass, Geba is his halting–place,––Terror–stricken, is Ramah, Gibeah of Saul, hath fled!
Isa 10:30 Make shrill thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah; Answer, O Anathoth!
Isa 10:31 Madmenah, hath fled,––The inhabitants of Gebim, have gone into safety:
Isa 10:32 While yet today, in Nob, he tarrieth, He brandisheth his hand toward, The mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
Isa 10:33 Behold! the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is about to lop off a tree–crown, with a crash,––Then shall, they who are lifted on high, be hewn down, And, the lofty, be laid low;
Isa 10:34 Then will he fell the thickets of the forest, with iron,––And, Lebanon, by a majestic one, shall fall.
Isa 11:1 ¶ But there shall come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse,––And, a sprout, from his roots, shall bear fruit;
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest, upon him,––The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge, and reverence of Yahweh;
Isa 11:3 So will he find fragrance, in the reverence of Yahweh, And not, by the sight of his eyes, will he judge, Nor, by the hearing of his ears, will he decide;
Isa 11:4 But he will judge, with righteousness, them who are poor, And decide, with equity! for the oppressed of the land,––And he will smite the land with the sceptre of his mouth, And, with the breath of his lips, will he slay the lawless one;
Isa 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,––And faithfulness the girdle of his reins;
Isa 11:6 And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, And, the leopard, with the kid, shall lie down,––And the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling––together, With, a little child, leading them;
Isa 11:7 And, the cow, with the bear, shall find pasture, Together, shall their young ones, lie down,––And, the lion, like the ox, shall eat straw;
Isa 11:8 And the sucking child shall caress, over the hole of the asp, Yea, over the viper’s den, hath the weaned child stretched out his hand:
Isa 11:9 They shall not hurt––nor destroy, in all my holy, mountain,––For filled, is the land with the knowledge of Yahweh, As, the waters, to the sea, form a covering.
Isa 11:10 ¶ And there shall come to be, in that day, A root of Jesse, which shall be standing as an ensign of peoples, Unto him, shall nations seek,––And, his resting–place, shall be, glorious.
Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That My Lord will again, a second time, set his hand, to possess himself of the remnant of his people,––who shall be left––from Assyria and from Egypt, and from Pathros and from Ethiopia, and from Elam and from Shinar, and from Hamath and from the Coastlands of the sea;
Isa 11:12 And he will lift up a standard to the nations, And will gather the outcasts of Israel,––And, the dispersed of Judah, will he collect, From the four corners of the earth.
Isa 11:13 And the envy of Ephraim, shall be removed, And, the vexatious doings of Judah, shall be cut off: Ephraim, shall not envy, Judah, and, Judah, shall not vex, Ephraim;
Isa 11:14 But they shall fly on the wing of the Philistines, in the west, Together, shall they make prey of the sons of the east,––On Edom and Moab, putting forth their hand, With, the sons of Ammon, hearkening unto them.
Isa 11:15 And Yahweh, will devote to destruction, the gulf of the Egyptian sea, And will brandish his hand against the River[=Euphrates], in the full force of his spirit,––And will smite it in the seven streams, And cause a marching through in sandals;
Isa 11:16 So shall there be a highway for the remnant of his people who shall be left, out of Assyria,––Like as it was to Israel, in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt!
Isa 12:1 ¶ Thou shalt say, therefore, in that day, I will praise thee, O Yahweh! Though thou hast been angry with me, Thine anger turneth back, And thou dost comfort me.
Isa 12:2 Lo, GOD, is my salvation! I will trust, and not dread,––For, my might and melody, is Yah, Yahweh, And he hath become mine, by salvation.
Isa 12:3 Therefore shall ye draw water, with rejoicing,––out of the fountains of salvation.
Isa 12:4 ¶ And ye shall say, in that day, Praise Yahweh, Call upon his Name, Make known among the peoples, his doings,––Bring to remembrance, that, exalted, is his Name!
Isa 12:5 Praise in song Yahweh, For, a splendid thing, hath he done,––Well known, is this, in all the earth.
Isa 12:6 Make shrill thy voice and sing out, thou inhabitress of Zion,––That, great in the midst of thee, is, the Holy One of Israel.

Isa 13:12 I will cause, a man, to be more precious than, fine gold,––Even, a son of earth, than, the finest gold of Ophir.
Isa 13:13 For this cause, the heavens, will I disturb, And, the earth, shall tremble, out of her place,––In the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, And in the day of the glow of his anger.

Isa 14:9 Hades, beneath, is excited about thee, To meet thine arrival,––Rousing up, for thee, Shades, All the he–goats of earth! Maketh rise from their thrones, All the kings of the nations.
Isa 14:10 All of them, answer, and say to thee,––Thou too, made strengthless, as we! Unto us, art thou like!
Isa 14:11 Brought down to Hades, thy pride, The hum of thy harps, Beneath thee, is spread out corruption, And, thy coverlet––worms!
Isa 14:12 How, hast thou fallen from heaven, O Shining One––Son of the Dawn! Hewn down to the earth, O crusher of nations!
Isa 14:13 Yet, thou, didst say in thy heart––The heavens, will I ascend, Above the stars of GOD, will I lift up my throne,––That I may sit in the Mount of Assembly, In the Recesses of the North:

Isa 14:25 That I will break in pieces the Assyrian, in my land, Yea, upon my mountains, will I tread him underfoot,––So shall be removed from off them, his yoke, And, his burden, from off their shoulder, shall be removed.

Isa 14:31 Howl––O gate, Make outcry––O city, Dispersed art thou, Philistia, all of thee,––For, out of the north, a smoke cometh in, With no, straggler in his ranks.

Isa 15:1 ¶ The oracle on Moab: Because, in a night, was laid waste Ar of Moab––destroyed! Because, in a night, was laid waste Kir of Moab––destroyed,

Isa 15:3 In their streets, have they girded them with sackcloth,––On their housetops, and in their broadways, every one is howling––melting in tears;
Isa 15:4 And Heshbon, hath made outcry, and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz, hath been heard their voice,––For this cause, do the armed men of Moab roar, Every man’s soul, quivereth to him.
Isa 15:5 Mine own heart, for Moab continueth to make outcry, Her fugitive, as far as Zoar, is like a heifer of three years; For, the accent of Luhith, with weeping, they ascend, For, by the way of Horonaim––an outcry of destruction, they excite;
Isa 15:6 ¶ For, the waters of Nimrim, shall become, desolation,––For grass, hath dried up, Herbage, hath failed, Green thing, hath not sprung up!

Isa 16:3 Bring thou in counsel, Execute thou judgment, Make, as the night, thy shadow, in the midst of high noon,––Hide thou the outcasts, The wanderer, do not thou reveal.
Isa 16:4 Let mine own outcasts, sojourn with thee, O Moab, become thou a covert to them, from the face of the spoiler,––For vanished, is the oppressor, At an end, is extortion, They who tread down have ceased, out of the land.
Isa 16:5 So shall be established, in lovingkindness, a throne, And one shall sit thereon, in truth, in the home of David,––Judging––and seeking justice, and speeding righteousness.
Isa 16:6 ¶ We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Proud exceedingly! His haughtiness and his arrogance and his passion, Not true, are his boastings.

Isa 16:8 For, the fields of Heshbon, are withered––The vine of Sibmah, The owners of nations, have broken off ruddy branches, Unto Jazer, had they reached, They had spread abroad to the desert,––Her boughs, had stretched forth, had gone over to the sea.
Isa 16:9 For this cause, will I bewail, in the wailing of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I will drench thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh,––For, upon thy fruit–harvest, and upon thy grain–harvest, the battle–shout, hath fallen.
Isa 16:10 Now shall be withdrawn rejoicing and exultation, out of the garden–land, And, in the vineyards, shall be neither singing nor shouting,––Wine in the winepress, the treader, shall not tread, The vintage–shout, have I made to cease.
Isa 16:11 For this cause, mine inward parts––for Moab, like a lyre, shall make a plaintive sound,––Yea, what is within me, for Kir–heres.
Isa 16:12 And it shall be––When it is seen that Moab hath laboured in vain on the high place, He shall enter into his holy place to pray, and shall not prevail,
Isa 16:13 This, is the word which Yahweh spake concerning Moab in, time past;
Isa 16:14 But now, hath Yahweh spoken, saying, In three years,––as the years of a hireling, shall the glory of Moab be diminished, with all the great multitude,––even a very small remnant, of no account.
Isa 17:1 ¶ The oracle on Damascus,––Lo! Damascus, is to be removed from being a city, And shall become a heap of ruins:
Isa 17:2 Forsaken, are the desolate cities,––For flocks, shall they serve, Which shall lie down, and have none, to make them afraid.
Isa 17:3 Then shall the fortress cease from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria,––Like the glory of the sons of Israel, shall they be,––Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Isa 17:4 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That the glory of Jacob, shall be diminished, And, the fatness of his flesh, shall be wasted;
Isa 17:5 And it shall come to pass––That, as the harvestman gathereth, standing corn, And, with his arm––the ears, he reapeth, Yea it shall come to pass––That, so, shall he be who gleaneth ears, in the vale of Rephaim;
Isa 17:6 ¶ Yet shall there be left therein, a gleaning. As in the beating of an olive–tree,––Two––three berries, in the head of the tree–top,––Four––five, among her fruitful boughs, Declareth Yahweh, God of Israel.
Isa 17:7 In that day, shall the son of earth look to him that made him,––And, his eyes, unto the Holy One of Israel, be turned;
Isa 17:8 And he shall not look unto the altars, the work of his own hands,––Nor, to what his own fingers have made, shall his eye be turned, Whether Sacred Stems or Sun–pillars.
Isa 17:9 ¶ In that day, shall his fortified cities become, Like a neglected bough and a topmost branch, Which they neglected because of the sons of Israel,––So shall there be desolation.
Isa 17:10 Because thou didst forget the God of thy salvation, And, thy Rock of refuge, thou didst not remember, For this cause, shalt thou plant very pleasant plants, And, the slip of a stranger, shalt thou set:
Isa 17:11 In the day when thou plantest, fence thou in, And, in the morning, cause thou, thy slip, to blossom,––A harvest will have waved in the day of destiny, and mortal pain.
Isa 17:12 ¶ Alas! the booming of many peoples, Like the booming of the seas, shall they boom,––And, the rushing of nations! Like the rushing of mighty waters, shall they rush.
Isa 17:13 Though nations, like the rushing of many waters, shall rush, Yet shall one rebuke him, And he shall flee far away,––And be chased, As the chaff of the mountains before a wind, And as whirling stubble, before a storm!
Isa 17:14 At eventide, lo! terror, Before morning, he is, not! This, is the portion of them who plunder us, And the lot of them who make of us a prey.
Isa 18:1 ¶ Ho! thou land of the buzzing of wings,––Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
Isa 18:2 That sendeth, by the sea, ambassadors, Even in vessels of paper–reed, upon the face of the waters,––Go, ye swift messengers, Unto a nation drawn out and polished, Unto a people terrible from their beginning and onwards,––A nation most mighty and subduing, Whose land rivers, have cut through.
Isa 18:3 All ye inhabitants of the world, And ye, that dwell in the earth,––When there is lifted up an ensign on the mountains, Ye shall look, And, when there is blown a horn, Ye shall hearken.
Isa 18:4 For, thus, said Yahweh unto me,––I must be quiet, I must look on in my fixed place of abode,––Like a bright heat, on the light, Like a cloud of dew, in the heat of harvest.
Isa 18:5 For, before harvest, when the bud is perfect, And, the blossom, becometh, a ripening grape, Then will one cut down the twigs with pruning–hooks, And, the tendrils, will he remove [and] cast down:
Isa 18:6 They shall be left together, To the, ravenous birds, of the mountains, And to the beast of the earth,––Then shall the ravenous bird, summer upon them, And, every beast of the earth, upon them, shall winter.
Isa 18:7 In that time, shall there be borne along,. As a present unto Yahweh of hosts, A people drawn out and polished, Even from a people terrible from their beginning and onwards,––A nation most mighty and subduing, Whose land rivers, have cut through, Unto the place of the Name of Yahweh of hosts. Mount Zion.

Isa 19:5 And the waters shall be dried up from the great stream,––And, the River, shall waste and be dry;
Isa 19:6 And rivers, shall stink, The canals of Egypt be shallow and waste, Reed and rush, be withered;
Isa 19:7 The meadows by the Nile, by the mouth of the Nile, And all that is sown in the Nile, Shall be dry, driven away, and not be!
Isa 19:8 Then shall the fishers, lament, And all shall mourn, who cast in the Nile a hook,––And, they who spread nets on the face of the waters shall languish;
Isa 19:9 Then shall turn pale, The workers in combed flax,––and, The weavers of white linen;
Isa 19:10 Then shall her pillars be crushed,––All who make wages, be bowed down in soul.
Isa 19:11 Surely, foolish, are the princes of Zoan, the wisest counselors of Pharaoh, in counsel, are brutish,––How can ye say unto Pharaoh, Son of the wise, am I, Son of the kings of olden time?
Isa 19:12 Where then are, thy wise men? Pray let them tell thee! And let them know what Yahweh of hosts, hath purposed, on Egypt!
Isa 19:13 Doting, are the princes of Zoan, Deceived, are the princes of Noph: They who are the corner–stone of her tribes, have led Egypt astray.
Isa 19:14 Yahweh, hath infused in her midst, a spirit of perverseness,––And they have led Egypt astray into all his own doings, As a drunken man staggereth, into his own vomit;
Isa 19:15 And Egypt shall have nothing which can be done, Which head or tail, palm–top or rush, can do!
Isa 19:16 In that day, shall Egypt be like unto women,––And shall start and tremble because of the brandishing of the hand of Yahweh of hosts, which he, is about to brandish over it.
Isa 19:17 Then shall the soil of Judah become, to Egypt, a terror; Every one to whom it is mentioned, will tremble,––Because of the purpose of Yahweh of hosts, which he, is purposing against it.
Isa 19:18 ¶ In that day, shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the language of Canaan, And swearing unto Yahweh of hosts,––The city of destruction, shall be the name of one!
Isa 19:19 In that day, shall there be, An altar unto Yahweh, in the midst of the land of Egypt,––And a pillar near the boundary thereof, unto Yahweh;
Isa 19:20 And it shall become a sign and a witness, unto Yahweh of hosts, in the land of Egypt,––For they will make outcry unto Yahweh, because of oppressors, That he would send them a saviour––and a great one, Then will he deliver them.
Isa 19:21 Then will, Yahweh, make himself known, to the Egyptians, So shall, the Egyptians, know, Yahweh, in that day,––And they will offer a sacrifice and a present, And will vow a vow unto Yahweh, and will perform.
Isa 19:22 And Yahweh, will plague, Egypt, plague and heal,––And they will turn unto Yahweh, And he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.
Isa 19:23 In that day, shall there be a highway, from Egypt to Assyria, And, the Assyrians, shall come, into, Egypt, And, the Egyptians, into, Assyria; And, the Egyptians, shall serve, with the Assyrians.
Isa 19:24 In that day, shall, Israel, be, a third, with Egypt and with Assyria,––A blessing in the midst of the earth:
Isa 19:25 Whom Yahweh of hosts hath blessed, saying,––Blessed, be, My people––the Egyptians, And the work of my hands––the Assyrians, And mine own inheritance––Israel.
Isa 20:1 ¶ In the year that Tartan entered Ashdod, when Sargon king of Assyria, sent him,––and he fought against Ashdod and captured it,––
Isa 20:2 At that time, spake Yahweh, through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, And, thy sandal, draw thou off from thy foot,––And he did so, walking disrobed and barefoot.
Isa 20:3 Then said Yahweh,––As my servant Isaiah, hath walked, disrobed and barefoot, three years, as a sign and a wonder, against Egypt and against Ethiopia,
Isa 20:4 So, shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, disrobed and barefoot,––with their persons behind uncovered, the shame of Egypt.
Isa 20:5 Thus shall they be confounded, and turn pale,––For Ethiopia, their expectation, and, For Egypt, their boast;
Isa 20:6 And the inhabitant of this shore, shall exclaim, in that day, Lo! such, is our expectation, whereunto we fled for help, that we might be delivered from the presence of the king of Assyria! How then shall, we, escape?
Isa 21:1 ¶ The oracle on the desert of the sea: As storm–winds in the South which, with a rush from the desert, do come from a terrible land,
Isa 21:2 [So] hath, a grievous vision, been told me:––The deceiver, is deceiving, And, the spoiler, is spoiling, Go up, O Elam, Besiege, O Media, All the sighing she hath caused, have I made to cease.
Isa 21:3 For this cause, are my loins filled, with anguish, Pangs, have seized me, as the pangs of her that is giving birth,––I writhe, so that I cannot hear, I tremble, so that I cannot see:
Isa 21:4 My heart fluttereth, A horror, terrifieth me,––My twilight of pleasure, hath he turned for me into a time of trembling.
Isa 21:5 [Ye thought] to prepare the table––spread the mat––eat––drink! . . . Arise, ye chieftains, anoint the shield!
Isa 21:6 For, thus, hath My Lord said, unto me,––Go, set the watchman, What he seeth, let him tell!
Isa 21:7 When he seeth, A train of horsemen in double rank, A train of asses, A train of camels, Then shall he hearken attentively, with diligent heed.
Isa 21:8 Then cried he, A lion! On the watch, O My Lord, had I, been standing continually, by day, And, at my post, had I, been stationed whole nights; ––
Isa 21:9 When lo! here was a train of men coming, With horsemen in double rank,––And one began and said, Fallen! fallen! is Babylon, And, all the images of her gods, are smashed to the ground!
Isa 21:10 O thou My threshing! And the grain of my corn–floor! That which I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, Have I declared, unto you.
Isa 21:11 ¶ The oracle on Dumah: Unto me, is one crying––out of Seir, Watchman! how far gone is the night? Watchman! how far gone is the night?
Isa 21:12 Said the watchman, There cometh a morning, But also, a night,––If ye will enquire, enquire, ye––Come, again!
Isa 21:13 ¶ The oracle on Arabia,––Among the shrubs in Arabia, must ye lodge, Ye caravans of Dedanites.
Isa 21:14 To meet the thirsty, bring ye water,––Ye dwellers in the land of Tema; With bread for him, get in advance of him that is in flight!
Isa 21:15 For, before swords, have they fled: Before a sword that is drawn, Before a bow that is bent, And before the stress of war.
Isa 21:16 For, thus, hath My Lord said unto me,––Within a year according to the yearn of a hireling, shall fail all the glory of Kedar;
Isa 21:17 And, the remnant of the record of bowmen, The heroes of the sons of Kedar, Shall become few; For, Yahweh, God of Israel, hath spoken.
Isa 22:1 ¶ The oracle on the valley of vision,––What aileth thee, then, That thou art wholly gone up to the house–tops?
Isa 22:2 With tumults, art thou filled, thou citadel in commotion! city exultant! Thy slain, are, Not the slain, of the sword, Nor the dead in battle.
Isa 22:3 All thy ruler, having fled, together, by the bow, are taken captive: All found in thee have been taken captive, together, Far away, have they fled.
Isa 22:4 For this cause, I said––Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep,––Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
Isa 22:5 For, a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.
Isa 22:6 Yea, Elam, beareth the quiver, With trains of men, [and] horsemen,––And, Kir, hath uncovered the shield.
Isa 22:7 And it hath come to pass that, the choice of thy vales, are full of chariots; Yea, the horsemen, have set themselves, in array, at the gate.
Isa 22:8 ¶ Then removed he the veil of Judah,––Yea thou didst peer, on that day, into the armoury of the forest–house;
Isa 22:9 And, the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld, for they were many,––So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
Isa 22:10 And, the houses of Jerusalem, ye counted,––And brake down the houses, to fortify the wall;
Isa 22:11 And a reservoir, ye made, between the two walls, for the waters of the ancient pool,––And had no regard unto him that made it, Nor, unto him that formed it long ago, had ye respect.
Isa 22:12 And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called, in that day,––for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare, and for girding with sackcloth,
Isa 22:13 Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen, and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine,––Let us eat and drink, For, tomorrow, we may die!
Isa 22:14 Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears, Surely there shall be no propitiatory–covering put over this iniquity for you, until ye die, Saith My Lord, Yahweh, of hosts.
Isa 22:15 ¶ Thus, said My Lord Yahweh, of hosts, Come, go in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who is over the house:
Isa 22:16 What doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre,––As one hewing on high, his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff, a habitation for himself?
Isa 22:17 Lo! Yahweh, is about to hurl thee, with a hurl, O mighty man,––And roll thee with a roll;
Isa 22:18 He will, toss, thee, with a toss, like a ball, into a country wide on both hands,––There, shalt thou die, And, there, shall thy glorious, chariots be the contempt of the house of thy lord.
Isa 22:19 Thus will I thrust thee out from thine office,––And, from thy station, shall one tear thee down.
Isa 22:20 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That I will call for my servant, for Eliakim, son of Hilkiah,
Isa 22:21 And will clothe him with thy tunic, And, with thy girdle, will I gird him, And, thine authority, will I deliver into his hand,––So shall he become a father, To the inhabitant of Jerusalem, and, To the house of Judah.
Isa 22:22 And I will lay the key of the house of David, upon his shoulder,––And he shall open, and none, shall shut, And shut, and none, shall open;
Isa 22:23 And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place,––And he shall become a throne of glory, to the house of his father;
Isa 22:24 And they shall hang upon him, all the weight of his father’s house––The offshoots, and the side–twigs––All the small vessels, Both the cups and all the jugs.
Isa 22:25 In that day,––Declareth Yahweh of hosts, Shall the peg, give way, that was fastened in a sure place,––Yea it shall be cut off and fall, And the burden that was upon it shall perish, For, Yahweh, hath spoken!
Isa 23:1 ¶ The oracle on Tyre,––Howl! ye ships of Tarshish, For it is laid too waste to be a haven to enter, From the land of Cyprus, hath it been unveiled to them.
Isa 23:2 Be dumb, ye inhabitants of the Coast,––Whom, the merchants of Zidon, passing over the sea, once replenished;
Isa 23:3 Yea, on mighty waters, was the grain of Shihor, The harvest of the Nile, was her increase,––And so she became a mart of nations.
Isa 23:4 Turn thou pale, O Zidon, For spoken, hath the sea, the fortress of the sea, saying,––I have neither been in pangs nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men, nor promoted virgins.
Isa 23:5 Like the report of Egypt, They shall be in pangs at the like report of Tyre.
Isa 23:6 Pass ye over to Tarshish,––Howl, ye inhabitants of the Coast:
Isa 23:7 Is this, to you, an exultation? Though, from ancient days, is her antiquity, Yet shall her own feet, carry her away, far off to dwell.
Isa 23:8 Who, hath purposed this, against Tyre, The bestower of crowns,––Whose merchants are princes, Her traders, the honourable of the earth?
Isa 23:9 Yahweh of hosts, hath purposed it,––To humble the pride of all beauty, To make of little esteem all the honourable of the earth.
Isa 23:10 Pass through thy land, as the Nile,––O daughter of Tarshish, there is no, restraint any longer!
Isa 23:11 His hand, hath he stretched out over the sea, He hath shaken kingdoms,––Yahweh, hath given command against the Phoenician coast, To destroy her fortresses.
Isa 23:12 Therefore hath he said,––No more, again, do thou exult, Thou violated virgin daughter of Zidon,––To Cyprus, arise and pass over, Even there, shall one find thee no rest.
Isa 23:13 Lo! the land of the Chaldeans, This, is the people, that was not, Assyria, founded it for the inhabitants of the desert,––They set up its siege–towers, They demolished its palaces, Made it a ruin!
Isa 23:14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish,––For laid waste, is your fortress.
Isa 23:15 ¶ So shall it be, in that day, That Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, According to the days of a certain king: At the end of seventy years, shall it befall Tyre according to the song of the harlot:
Isa 23:16 Take thou a lyre, Go round the city, O harlot forgotten,––Sweetly touch the strings, Lengthen out the song, That thou mayest be called to mind.
Isa 23:17 So shall it be, at the end of seventy years, That Yahweh will visit, Tyre, And she will return to her hire,––Yea she will play the harlot––with all the kingdoms of the earth, upon the face of the ground.
Isa 23:18 But, her merchandise and her hire, shall be hallowed unto Yahweh, It shall not be stored up, nor hoarded,––For, to them who dwell before Yahweh, shall her merchandise belong, That they may eat to satisfaction, And have stately apparel.
Isa 24:1 ¶ Lo! Yahweh emptying the earth, and laying it waste,––And he will overturn the face thereof, And scatter them who dwell therein.
Isa 24:2 And it shall be––As the people, so, the priest, As the servant, so, his lord, As the maid, so, her mistress,––As the buyer, so, the seller, As the lender, so, the borrower, As the debtor, so! his creditor.
Isa 24:3 Emptied––emptied––shall be the earth, yea pillaged––pillaged,––For, Yahweh, hath spoken this word.
Isa 24:4 Mourneth, fadeth, the earth, Languisheth, fadeth, the world,––Languished, have the lofty of the people of the earth.
Isa 24:5 Yea, the earth itself, is profaned under them who dwell therein,––For they have, Set aside laws, Gone beyond statute, Broken an age–abiding covenant.
Isa 24:6 For this cause, a curse, hath devoured the earth, And punished are the dwellers therein,––For this cause, are burned the inhabitants of the earth, And the men left remaining––are few.
Isa 24:7 Mourneth, the new wine, Withereth, the vine,––Sighing, are all the merryhearted:
Isa 24:8 Ceased, hath the mirth of timbrels, Ended, is the noise of the uproarious,––Ceased, hath the mirth of the lyre:
Isa 24:9 With a song, they drink not wine,––Bitter, is strong drink, to them who drink it:
Isa 24:10 Broken down, is the city of desolation,––Shut up, every house, that it cannot be entered.
Isa 24:11 There is an outcry concerning wine, in the streets,––Darkened, is all joy, Departed, the gladness of the earth.
Isa 24:12 There is left in the city, desolation,––And, to ruins, have been broken the gate.
Isa 24:13 ¶ When, thus, it shall be, in the earth, in the midst of the peoples, [There shall be,] like the shaking of an olive–tree, like the going round to pick, when closed, is the harvest.
Isa 24:14 They, shall lift up their voice––shall raise a tremulous note,––On account of the splendour of Yahweh, have they made a shrill cry, on the West;
Isa 24:15 For this cause, In the Regions of Light, give ye glory to Yahweh,––In the Coastlands of the Sea, [unto] the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel.
Isa 24:16 ¶ From the uttermost part of the earth, melodies, have we heard––Beauty, to the righteous one! But I had said––Ruin to me! Ruin to me! Woe to me! Traitors, have betrayed, Yea, traitorously, have traitors betrayed!
Isa 24:17 Terror and pit, and snare,––are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth!
Isa 24:18 So shall it be––He that fleeth from the sound of the terror, shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the midst of the pit, shall be captured in the snare,––For, the windows on high, have opened, And shaken, are the foundations of earth.
Isa 24:19 The earth breaketh, breaketh,––The earth crasheth, crasheth, The earth tottereth, tottereth;
Isa 24:20 The earth staggereth–staggereth, like a drunken man, And rocketh to and fro like a night–hut,––So shall be heavy upon her, her transgression, And she shall fall, and, not again, rise.
Isa 24:21 And it shall be, in that day, That Yahweh will bring punishment, Upon the host of the height, in the height,––And upon the kings of the ground, on the ground.
Isa 24:22 And they shall be swept together in a crowd, fettered for a pit, And shall be lowered into a dungeon,––And, after many days, shall they be punished.
Isa 24:23 Then shall blush, the silvery moon, Then turn pale, the glowing sun,––Because Yahweh of hosts, hath become king, In Mount Zion, And in Jerusalem, And before his Elders, in glory.
Isa 25:1 ¶ O Yahweh! my God, thou art, I will exalt thee, I will praise thy Name, For thou hast done a wonderful thing,––Purposes of long ago, Faithfulness in truth.
Isa 25:2 For thou hast made, of a citadel, a mound, of a defenced city, a ruin,––palaces for foreigners, to be no city, To times age–abiding, shall it not be built.
Isa 25:3 For this cause, shall glorify thee––a strong people, The city of tyrannous nations, shall revere thee;
Isa 25:4 For thou didst become, A refuge to the weak, A refuge to the needy, when distress was upon him,––A shelter from the storm, A shade from the heat, When the blast of tyrants was like a storm against a wall.
Isa 25:5 As heat in a desert, the pomp of foreigners, wilt thou subdue,––Heat––with the shade of a cloud, The song of tyrants, become low.
Isa 25:6 ¶ Then will Yahweh of hosts prepare, for all the peoples, in this mountain, A banquet of fat things, A banquet of old wines,––Of fat things full of marrow, Of old wines well refined;
Isa 25:7 And he will swallow up, in this mountain, The mask of the veil, the veil that is upon all the peoples,––And the web that is woven over all the nations.
Isa 25:8 Having swallowed up death itself victoriously, My Lord, Yahweh, will wipe away, tears from off all faces,––And, the reproach of his own people, will he remove from off all the earth, For, Yahweh, hath spoken.
Isa 25:9 ¶ So shall it be said, in that day, Lo! our God, is this! We waited for him, that he might save us,––This, is Yahweh! We waited for him, Let us exult and rejoice, in his salvation.
Isa 25:10 For the hand of Yahweh will settle down in this mountain,––Then shall Moab be trodden down in its place, Like the treading down of a strawheap in the water of a dunghill;
Isa 25:11 Should he spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, As a swimmer spreadeth forth to swim, Then would be laid low his pride, together with the devices of his hands.
Isa 25:12 Yea, the lofty stronghold of thy walls, Hath he brought down––Laid low––Levelled to the ground, even unto the dust.
Isa 26:1 ¶ In that day, shall be sung this song, in the land of Judah,––A strong city, have we! Salvation, will he set for walls and rampart.
Isa 26:2 Open ye the gates,––That there may enter in––a righteous nation preserving fidelity.
Isa 26:3 A purpose sustained, thou wilt guard, [saying], Prosper! Prosper! Because, in thee, hath he been led to trust.
Isa 26:4 Trust ye in Yahweh, unto futurity,––For, in Yah, Yahweh, is a rock of ages.
Isa 26:5 ¶ For he hath brought down, the inhabitants of the height, the city exalted,––He layeth it low. Layeth it low, even to the ground, Levelleth it, even to the dust:
Isa 26:6 The foot trampleth, it,––The feet of the lowly, The steps of the weak.
Isa 26:7 The path of a righteous man, is, even,––O Upright One! the track of a righteous man, thou makest level.
Isa 26:8 Surely, in the path of thy regulations, O Yahweh, we waited for thee,––Unto thy Name and unto thy Memorial, was there a longing of soul:
Isa 26:9 With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee,––For, when thy regulations [extend] to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.
Isa 26:10 Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely,––And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.
Isa 26:11 O Yahweh, though thy hand be lifted up,––yet do they not see, Would they might see––and turn pale at a people’s zeal,––Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!
Isa 26:12 ¶ O Yahweh, thou wilt ensure prosperity for us,––For, even all our works, hast thou wrought for us.
Isa 26:13 O Yahweh, our God! Lords other than thee, have owned, us,––By thyself alone, will we call upon thy Name.
Isa 26:14 The dead, come not to life again, The shades, do not arise,––Therefore, thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused to perish every memorial of them.
Isa 26:15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Yahweh, Thou hast increased the nation, thou hast gotten thyself glory, Thou hast extended far, all the ends of the land.
Isa 26:16 O Yahweh! in distress, they sought thee,––They poured out a whispered prayer, when thy chastening was upon them.
Isa 26:17 Like as a woman with child––Draweth near to giving birth, Is in pain, Crieth out in her pangs, So, were we before thee, O Yahweh; ––
Isa 26:18 We were with child––We were in pain, As it were we brought forth wind,––Salvation, we could not accomplish for the earth, Neither were born, the inhabitants of the world.
Isa 26:19 Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise,––Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust, For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades, shall give birth.
Isa 26:20 ¶ Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee,––Hide thee, as it were, a little moment, Till the indignation pass over.
Isa 26:21 For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earth’s inhabitant upon him,––Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed–blood, And throw a covering, no longer, over her slain.
Isa 27:1 ¶ In that day, will Yahweh, With his sword––the hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment, Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent,––And will slay the monster which is in the sea.
Isa 27:2 In that day, A Wine–Vineyard! sing ye unto her:
Isa 27:3 I––Yahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her,––Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
Isa 27:4 Fury, have I none,––Oh that there were delivered to me, briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them, I would set fire to them, one and all.
Isa 27:5 Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me,––Peace, let him make with me.
Isa 27:6 In coming times, shall Jacob, strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud,––Then shall they fill the face of the world with fruit.
Isa 27:7 ¶ Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or, as with the slaying of his slayer, was he slain?
Isa 27:8 By driving her away––by dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind, in a day of east wind.
Isa 27:9 Therefore, hereby, shall a propitiatory–covering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin,––When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk–stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
Isa 27:10 For, the fortified city, is solitary, The dwelling forsaken, and left as a wilderness,––There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down, And shall consume the branches thereof:
Isa 27:11 When the cut–off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is, not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.
Isa 27:12 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River[=Euphrates], unto the torrent–valley of Egypt,––And, ye, shall be picked up, one by one, O sons of Israel.
Isa 27:13 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in, Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt,––And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh, In the holy mountain, In Jerusalem.
Isa 28:1 ¶ Alas! for the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, And for his fading wreath of majestic beauty,––Which is on the head of the fertile valley, of them who are overcome with wine.
Isa 28:2 Lo! My Lord hath one who is, strong and bold, Like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, Like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, Hath he thrust it down to the earth with force:
Isa 28:3 With the feet, shall be trodden down, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim!
Isa 28:4 So shall his fading wreath of majestic beauty, Which is on the head of the fertile valley, become,––Like the first–ripe fig before fruit–harvest, Which, when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand, he swalloweth it up.
Isa 28:5 In that day, will Yahweh of hosts become, A crown of beauty, and, A diadem of majesty,––Unto the remnant of his people:
Isa 28:6 Even a spirit of justice––to him that presideth over justice, And strength to them who would turn back the battle at the gate.
Isa 28:7 But, as for these, With wine, do they reel, and, With strong drink, do they stagger,––Priest and prophet, reel with strong drink, They are swallowed up through wine, They stagger through strong drink, They reel in prophetic vision, They totter in pronouncing judgment.
Isa 28:8 For, all tables, are full of filthy vomit,––There is no place!
Isa 28:9 ¶ Whom, would he teach knowledge? And, whom, would he cause to understand the message? Them who are, weaned from the milk? taken from the breasts?
Isa 28:10 For it is––Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line,––A little here, a little there.
Isa 28:11 For, with a jabbering lip, and with an alien tongue, must he speak unto this people!
Isa 28:12 To whom he said––This, is the rest––give ye rest to the weary, and, This, is the quietness,––But they were unwilling to hear.
Isa 28:13 So the word of Yahweh must be, to them––Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, A little here, a little there,––That they may go, and fall backward, and be torn, and snared, and captured.
Isa 28:14 ¶ Wherefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, Ye men who scoff,––Ye rulers of this people that is in Jerusalem.
Isa 28:15 Because ye have said––We have solemnised a covenant with death, And, with hades, have we effected a vision,––The overflowing scourge, when it sweepeth by, shall not reach unto us, For we have made lying, our refuge, And, in falsehood, have we hid ourselves.
Isa 28:16 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! founding in Zion, a stone, A stone of testing, The costly corner of a well–laid foundation, He that trusteth, shall not make haste!
Isa 28:17 But I will make–Justice, the line, and, Righteousness, the plummet,––And the hail shall, sweep away, your refuge of lying, And, your hiding–place, the waters shall overflow;
Isa 28:18 So shall be wiped out your covenant with death, And, your vision with hades, not stand,––When, the overflowing scourge, sweepeth past, then shall ye be thereby beaten down:
Isa 28:19 As often as it sweepeth past, it shall take you, away, For, morning by morning, shall it pass along, By day and by night,––And it shall be nothing less than a terror, to make out the message;
Isa 28:20 For too short, is the couch to stretch oneself out,––And, the coverlet, too narrow, when one draweth up his feet.
Isa 28:21 For, as in Mount Perazim, will Yahweh arise, As in the vale of Gibeon, will he be stirred,––To do his work–foreign, is his work, And to perform his task–strange, is his task.
Isa 28:22 Now, therefore, do not show yourselves scoffers, Lest your fetters, be bound fast,––For, of a full end, and that a decreed one, have I heard from My Lord Yahweh of hosts, upon all the land.
Isa 28:23 ¶ Give ear, and hear ye my voice,––Hearken, and hear ye my speech:––
Isa 28:24 All day long, doth the plowman plow for sowing? Doth he continue laying open and harrowing his soil?
Isa 28:25 Doth he not, when he hath levelled the face thereof, Cast abroad the fennel? And, the cummin, doth he not scatter? And plant wheat in rows, And barley in a lot, And spelt in the border thereof?
Isa 28:26 Yea, One hath trained him to good judgment, His God, directeth him.
Isa 28:27 For, not with a sledge, must, black coriander, be threshed, Nor must, the wheel of a cart, on cummin, be turned, But, with a staff, must, fennel, be beaten, And, cummin, with a rod:
Isa 28:28 Bread–corn, must be crushed,––Yet would he not be evermore, threshing, it, So he hasteneth over it the wheel of his cart, with his horsemen, He crusheth it not!
Isa 28:29 Even this, from Yahweh of hosts, cometh forth,––Who hath bestowed distinction upon counsel, And magnified sound wisdom.
Isa 29:1 ¶ Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David, encamped,––Add ye a year to a year, Let, the festivals, come round;
Isa 29:2 Yet will I bring Ariel into straits,––And she shall become a bewailing and wailing, Yea she shall become to me a veritable Hearth of God.
Isa 29:3 And I will encamp round about against thee,––And lay siege against thee with a fort, And raise against thee siege–works;
Isa 29:4 And thou shalt be brought low––Out of the earth, shalt thou speak, And, out of the dust, shalt thou lower thine utterance,––And, as one that hath a familiar spirit, Out of the earth, shall come thy voice, And, out of the dust, thy speech shall chirp;
Isa 29:5 Then shall be, as fine dust, the multitude of thy foreigners,––And, as chaff that passeth away, the multitude of tyrants; And it shall come to pass, in a twinkling, suddenly.
Isa 29:6 From Yahweh of hosts, shalt thou be visited, With thunder, and with earthquake and a great noise,––hurricane and storm, and flame of fire devouring;
Isa 29:7 And it shall be like the dream of a night vision, With the multitude of all the nations who have been making war against Ariel,––Even with all who have been making war against her, and her stronghold, and who have been laying siege to her;
Isa 29:8 Yea it shall be, As when the hungry man dreameth, and lo! he is eating, But he awaketh, and his soul, is empty, Or as when the thirsty man dreameth, and lo! he is drinking, But he awaketh, and lo! he is faint, and, his soul, is craving, So, shall it be with the multitude of all the nations, that have come forth to war against Mount Zion.
Isa 29:9 ¶ Stand ye stock still, and stare, Besmear your eyes, and be blind,––They are drunken, but not with wine, They reel, but not with strong drink;
Isa 29:10 For Yahweh, hath poured out upon you, a spirit of deep sleep, Yea hath tightly shut your eyes––the prophets,––And, your heads––the seers, hath he covered,
Isa 29:11 And so all, vision hath become unto you, as the words of a writing that is sealed, Which is delivered unto one acquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee, read this, And he saith, I cannot, for it, is, sealed;
Isa 29:12 And then the writing is delivered to one unacquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee, read this, And he saith, I am not acquainted with writing.
Isa 29:13 Wherefore My Lord hath said,––Because this people, hath drawn near, with their mouth, And, with their lips, have honoured me, But, their heart, have they moved far from me, And so their reverence of me hath become A commandment of men, in which they have been schooled,
Isa 29:14 Therefore, behold me! Again, dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing,––So, shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And, the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!
Isa 29:15 Alas! for them who would fain have been too deep for Yahweh, by giving secret counsel,––and therefore, in the dark, have been their doings, and they have said, Who, can see us? and,––Who, can understand us?
Isa 29:16 Your perverseness! As if, like clay, the potter, could be reckoned; For shall, the thing made, say, of him that made it, he made me not? Or hath, the thing fashioned, ever said, of him that fashioned it, He hath no understanding.
Isa 29:17 ¶ Is it not yet, a very little while, And, Lebanon, shall be turned, into garden land,––And, garden land, for a forest, be reckoned?
Isa 29:18 Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear, the words of a book,––And, out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind, shall see;
Isa 29:19 And again, shall the humbled, in Yahweh, have joy,––And, the needy of mankind, in the Holy One of Israel, exult;
Isa 29:20 For the tyrant, hath vanished, And the scoffer, is no more, Yea cut off, are all who watch for iniquity:––
Isa 29:21 Who bring a man into condemnation with a rumour, And, for him that decideth in the gate, lay a snare,––And have driven away, for a thing of nought, one who was righteous.
Isa 29:22 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the house of Jacob, [even he saith it] who redeemed Abraham,––Not now, shall, Jacob, turn pale, And, not now, shall their faces whiten;
Isa 29:23 For, when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, They will hallow my Name,––Yea they will hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And, the God of Israel, will they regard with awe.
Isa 29:24 Then will they who erred in spirit, comprehend, And, the murmurers, accept instruction.
Isa 30:1 ¶ Alas! for sons who are rebellious, Declareth Yahweh. Executing a purpose, but not from me, And pouring out a libation, but not from my spirit,––That they may add sin to sin:
Isa 30:2 Who are setting out to go down to Egypt, But, at my mouth, have not asked,––Betaking them to the protection of Pharaoh, And seeking refuge under the shadow of Egypt.
Isa 30:3 Therefore shall, the protection of Pharaoh, become to you, a shame, And, the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, an insult;
Isa 30:4 For, their princes, have been, in Zoan,––And, their messengers, unto Hanes, would draw near.
Isa 30:5 Every one, hath felt ashamed of a people that could not serve them,––Neither with help, nor with service, But they are a shame, yea even a reproach.
Isa 30:6 The Oracle on the Beasts of the South,––Through a land of distress and oppression––Lioness and lion coming therefrom, Viper and fiery flying serpent, They would carry, on the shoulders of young asses, their wealth, And, on the humps of camels, their treasures, Unto a people that cannot serve them.
Isa 30:7 But, the Egyptians, with vanity and emptiness, would help,––Therefore, have I proclaimed concerning this, Insolent! they, sit still!
Isa 30:8 ¶ Now, enter––Write it upon a tablet before them, And, upon a scroll, inscribe it,––That it may serve for a later day, For futurity, unto times age–abiding:––
Isa 30:9 That it is, a rebellious people, Sons, apt at deceiving,––Sons, unwilling to hear the law of Yahweh:
Isa 30:10 Who have said to, the seers, Ye must not, see! To the prophets, Ye must not prophesy to us reproofs! Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy delusions:
Isa 30:11 Depart ye from the way, Turn aside from the path,––Desist, from setting before us, the, Holy One of Israel.
Isa 30:12 Therefore––Thus, saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have rejected this word,––And have trusted in oppression and perverseness, And have relied thereon,
Isa 30:13 Therefore, shall this iniquity become to you, As a breach ready to fall, A bulging in a high wall,––Whose breaking down cometh, suddenly in a twinkling.
Isa 30:14 Yea he will break it––as the breaking of the pitcher of a potter, crushed, he will not spare; So that there shall not be found, when it is smashed, A sherd, wherewith to snatch fire from a hearth, Or to skim off water out of a cistern.
Isa 30:15 For, thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel––By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength,––Howbeit ye would not!
Isa 30:16 But ye said,––Nay! but on horses, will we flee, For this cause, shall ye indeed flee,––And, on the swift, will we ride, For this cause, swift, shall be your pursuers:
Isa 30:17 One, thousand, before the war–cry of one––before the war–cry of five, shall ye flee,––Until ye have been left, As a pole on the top of a mountain, And as an ensign upon a hill.
Isa 30:18 ¶ And, therefore, will Yahweh wait, That he may grant you favour, And, therefore, will he lift himself up, That he may show you compassion,––For, A God of justice, is, Yahweh, How happy all they who are waiting for him.
Isa 30:19 For, a people, In Zion, shall dwell, In Jerusalem,––As for weeping, thou shalt not weep! As for favour, he will grant thee favour, at the sound of thine outcry,––As soon as he heareth, he hath answered thee!
Isa 30:20 Though My Lord, should give you, bread in short measure, and, water in scant allowance, Yet will thy Teacher, not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher.
Isa 30:21 So shall, thine own ears, hear a word from behind thee saying,––This, is the way, walk ye therein, When ye would turn to the right hand, Or when ye would turn to the left.
Isa 30:22 Then will ye defile––The overlaying of thy graven images of silver, And the coating of thy molten image of gold,––Thou wilt cash them away, as a woman the token of her sickness, Begone! shalt thou say thereto,
Isa 30:23 Then will he give–Rain, for thy seed––wherewith thou shalt sow thy ground, and, Bread, as the increase of thy ground, which shall be fertile and fat,––Thy cattle, in that day, shall feed, in broad pasture:
Isa 30:24 And, the oxen and the young asses that till the ground, salted provender, shall eat, which hath been winnowed with shovel or fan.
Isa 30:25 Then shall there be, On every lofty mountain, and, On every lifted hill, Channels, Conduits of water,––In the great day of 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,––In the day––When Yahweh, bindeth up, the laceration of his people, and, When, the severe wound caused by smiting them, he healeth.
Isa 30:27 ¶ Lo! the Name of Yahweh, coming in from afar, His anger kindling, A heavy storm,––His lips, are full of indignation, And, his tongue, is like a fire that devoureth;
Isa 30:28 And, his breath, like an overflowing torrent, even unto the neck, doth reach, To sift nations, with a sieve of calamity,––A bridle leading to ruin, being upon the jaws of the peoples.
Isa 30:29 A song, shall ye have, As in the night of hallowing a festival,––And gladness of heart, As when one goeth with the flute to enter, Into the mountain of Yahweh, Unto the Rock of Israel.
Isa 30:30 Then will Yahweh, cause to be heard––the resounding of his voice, And, the bringing down of his arm, shall be seen, In a rage of anger, And with the flame of a devouring fire,––A burst and a downpour, and a hailstone!
Isa 30:31 For, at the voice of Yahweh, shall Assyria, be crushed,––With his rod, will he smite.
Isa 30:32 And it shall come to pass,––that, every stroke of the staff of doom, which Yahweh shall lay upon him, shall be with timbrels, and with lyres,––when, with battles of brandished weapons, he hath fought against them.
Isa 30:33 For there hath been set in order, beforehand, a Topheth, Yea, the same, for the king, hath been prepared, He hath made it deep––made it large,––The circumference thereof is for fire and wood in abundance, The breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of brimstone, is ready to kindle it.
Isa 31:1 ¶ Alas! for them who are going down to Egypt for help, On horses, would rely,––And have trusted––In chariots––because they are many, and, In horsemen, because they are very bold, But have not looked unto the Holy One of Israel, And, onto Yahweh, have not sought.
Isa 31:2 But, he also, is wise, and hath brought in calamity, And, his own words, hath he not set aside,––Therefore will he rise up, Against the house of evil–doers, and, Against the help of the workers of iniquity.
Isa 31:3 Now, the Egyptians, are, men, and not, GOD, And, their horses, flesh, and not, spirit; When, Yahweh, shall stretch out his hand, Then, he that is giving help, shall stumble, And, he that is receiving help, shall fall, And, together, shall, all of them, vanish!
Isa 31:4 For, Thus, hath Yahweh said unto me––Like as a lion or a young lion growleth, over his prey. Who––though there be called out against him a multitude of shepherds––Will not, at their voice, be dismayed, Nor, at their noise, be daunted, So, will Yahweh of hosts come down, to make war over Mount Zion, and over the hill thereof.
Isa 31:5 As little mother–birds hovering, so, will Yahweh of hosts throw a covering over Jerusalem,––Covering, so will he rescue, Passing over, so will he deliver!
Isa 31:6 ¶ Return ye unto him, against whom the sons of Israel have deeply, revolted,
Isa 31:7 For, in that day, will every man reject his idols of silver, and his idols of gold,––Which your hands had made for you, as a sin!
Isa 31:8 Then shall the Assyrian fall, by the sword, not of a great man, And, the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him,––Howbeit he shall take his flight from the face of a sword, And, his young men, shall come, under tribute;
Isa 31:9 And, his own Cliff, through terror, shall he pass by, And his princes, shall be dismayed at an ensign,––Declareth Yahweh, Who hath a flame in Zion, And hath a furnace in Jerusalem.
Isa 32:1 ¶ Lo! in righteousness, shall reign, a king, Yea, even princes, with equity, shall bear rule.
Isa 32:2 So shall each one become, As a hiding–place from the wind, And a covert from the storm,––As channels of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a massive cliff in a weary land.
Isa 32:3 And the eyes of them who are ready to see, shall not be closed,––And, the ears of them who are ready to hear, shall hearken;
Isa 32:4 And, the heart of the hurried, shall take note of knowledge, And, the tongue of stammerers, shall make haste to speak plainly.
Isa 32:5 A base man, shall no longer be called, noble,––Nor, a knave, be named, liberal;
Isa 32:6 For, a base man, with baseness, will speak, And, his heart, will practise iniquity,––Practising profanity, And speaking, against Yahweh that which misleadeth, Emptying the soul of the hungry, And, the drink of the thirsty, he causeth to fail;
Isa 32:7 Yea, a knave, his weapons, are wicked,––He, base schemes, hath devised, To ruin the oppressed with speeches of falsehood, Even when the needy pleadeth for justice.
Isa 32:8 But, a noble man, noble things, hath devised,––And, he, upon noble things, will stand,
Isa 32:9 ¶ Ye women in comfort! arise, hear my voice, Ye daughters so confident, give ear to my speech:––
Isa 32:10 Some days beyond a year, ye shall be troubled, ye confident ones,––For failed, hath the vintage, No, gathering, cometh in.
Isa 32:11 Tremble, ye women in comfort, Be troubled, ye daughters so confident,––Strip! and bare yourselves, and gird somewhat on your loins:
Isa 32:12 Upon your breasts, continue smiting: For desirable fields, For fruitful vine.
Isa 32:13 Over the soil of my people, thorns and briars, shall grow,––Yea, over all houses of joy, thou city exultant!
Isa 32:14 For, the palace, is abandoned, The tumult of the city, hath ceased––Hill and watch–tower, serve as caves, unto times age–abiding, The joy of wild–asses, The pasture of flocks:––
Isa 32:15 Until there be poured out upon us the spirit, from on high,––Then shall, the wilderness, become, garden–land, And, the garden–land, for a forest, be reckoned;
Isa 32:16 Then shall, justice, inhabit, the wilderness, And, righteousness, in the garden–land, shall abide;
Isa 32:17 And, the yield of righteousness, shall be, peace,––And, the tillage of righteousness, quietness and confidence! to times age–abiding;
Isa 32:18 And my people, shall dwell, In a borne of peace,––and, In habitations of security, and, In resting–places of comfort.
Isa 32:19 But it shall hail during the felling of the forest, And, in a sunken place, shall, the city, sink.
Isa 32:20 How happy are ye who sow beside all waters,––Who send forth the foot of the ox and the ass.
Isa 33:1 ¶ Alas! thou plunderer, when, thou, hadst not been plundered, And thou traitor, when they had not betrayed thee: When thou hast ceased plundering, thou shalt be plundered, When thou hast left off betraying, they shall betray thee.
Isa 33:2 O Yahweh! shew us favour,––For thee, have we waited,––Be thou their arm every morning, Yea our salvation in the time of distress.
Isa 33:3 At the noise of a tumult, the peoples retreated,––When thou didst lift thyself up, nations were scattered.
Isa 33:4 Then shall your spoil, be gathered, as the gathering of the caterpillar,––As the swift running of locusts, is he about to run upon them.
Isa 33:5 Exalted, is Yahweh, for he inhabiteth a height,––He hath filled Zion, with justice and righteousness.
Isa 33:6 So shall a wealth of deliverances, wisdom and knowledge, become the stability of thy times,––the reverence of Yahweh, the same, is his treasure.
Isa 33:7 Lo! their heroes, have cried out openly,––The messengers of peace, in bitterness, continue weeping [they say]:
Isa 33:8 The highways, are deserted, The passer–by on the path, hath ceased,––He hath broken covenant, He hath despised cities, He hath made no account of men.
Isa 33:9 The land mourneth, languisheth, Lebanon, displayeth shame, is withered,––Sharon, hath become, as the waste plain, And Bashan and Carmel, are shaking off their leaves.
Isa 33:10 Now, will I arise, Saith Yahweh, Now, will I lift myself up, Now, will I be exalted!
Isa 33:11 Ye shall conceive chaff, Ye shall bring forth stubble,––Your own breath, like fire, shall devour you.
Isa 33:12 So shall, peoples, become, as the burnings of lime,––As thorns lopped off, with fire, shall they be burned.
Isa 33:13 ¶ Hear––ye that are far off, what I have done, And know––ye that are near, my might:
Isa 33:14 Terror–stricken in Zion,––are sinners, Shuddering hath seized, the impious,––Who, among us can sojourn with a fire that devoureth? Who, among us can sojourn with burnings age–abiding?
Isa 33:15 He that walketh righteously, And speaketh uprightly,––He that refuseth the gain of exactions, That shaketh his hands free from holding a bribe, That stoppeth his ear from hearkening to deeds of blood, And shutteth his eyes from giving countenance to wrong,
Isa 33:16 He, the heights, shall inhabit, A stronghold of crags, shall be his refuge,––His bread, hath been delivered, His waters, have been made sure.
Isa 33:17 Of a king, in his beauty, shall thine eyes, have vision: They shall see a land that stretcheth afar.
Isa 33:18 Thy heart, may murmur in terror,––Where is the scribe? Where––the receiver? Where––he that maketh a list of the towers?
Isa 33:19 The fierce people, shalt thou not see,––The people, of too deep a lip to be understood, of too barbarous a tongue for thee to comprehend.
Isa 33:20 Look thou on Zion, the city of our appointed feast,––Thine own eyes, shall see Jerusalem––A home of comfort A tent which shall not be packed up––Whose pins, shall not be pulled out, for ever, And none of, whose cords, shall be broken.
Isa 33:21 But, there, shall Yahweh be our majestic, one, A place of rivers––streams broad on both hands, Wherein shall go no galley with oars, Neither shall majestic ship traverse it;
Isa 33:22 For, Yahweh, is our judge, Yahweh, is our lawgiver,––Yahweh, is our king, He, will save, us!
Isa 33:23 Loosed, are thy ropes,––They cannot strengthen the socket of their mast, They have not unfurled a sail, Now, can be apportioned spoil, in abundance, The lame, have captured prey!
Isa 33:24 Neither shall the inhabitant say, I am sick,––The people who dwell therein, have been forgiven iniquity.
Isa 34:1 ¶ Come near, ye nations, to hear, And, ye races, attend,––
