Isaiah 2:1--66:24

The word
<01697>
that Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
saw
<02372> (8804)
concerning Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And it shall come to pass in the last
<0319>
days
<03117>_,
[that] the mountain
<02022>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>
shall be established
<03559> (8737)
in the top
<07218>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
and shall be exalted
<05375> (8737)
above the hills
<01389>_;
and all nations
<01471>
shall flow
<05102> (8804)
unto it. {established: or, prepared}
And many
<07227>
people
<05971>
shall go
<01980> (8804)
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Come
<03212> (8798)
ye, and let us go up
<05927> (8799)
to the mountain
<02022>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to the house
<01004>
of the God
<0430>
of Jacob
<03290>_;
and he will teach
<03384> (8686)
us of his ways
<01870>_,
and we will walk
<03212> (8799)
in his paths
<0734>_:
for out of Zion
<06726>
shall go forth
<03318> (8799)
the law
<08451>_,
and the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
from Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And he shall judge
<08199> (8804)
among the nations
<01471>_,
and shall rebuke
<03198> (8689)
many
<07227>
people
<05971>_:
and they shall beat
<03807> (8765)
their swords
<02719>
into plowshares
<0855>_,
and their spears
<02595>
into pruninghooks
<04211>_:
nation
<01471>
shall not lift up
<05375> (8799)
sword
<02719>
against nation
<01471>_,
neither shall they learn
<03925> (8799)
war
<04421>
any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
O house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
come
<03212> (8798)
ye, and let us walk
<03212> (8799)
in the light
<0216>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
Therefore thou hast forsaken
<05203> (8804)
thy people
<05971>
the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
because they be replenished
<04390> (8804)
from the east
<06924>_,
and [are] soothsayers
<06049> (8781)
like the Philistines
<06430>_,
and they please
<05606> (8686)
themselves in the children
<03206>
of strangers
<05237>_.
{from...: or, more than the} {please...: or, abound with the}
Their land
<0776>
also is full
<04390> (8735)
of silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_,
neither [is there any] end
<07097>
of their treasures
<0214>_;
their land
<0776>
is also full
<04390> (8735)
of horses
<05483>_,
neither [is there any] end
<07097>
of their chariots
<04818>_:
Their land
<0776>
also is full
<04390> (8735)
of idols
<0457>_;
they worship
<07812> (8691)
the work
<04639>
of their own hands
<03027>_,
that which their own fingers
<0676>
have made
<06213> (8804)_:
And the mean man
<0120>
boweth down
<07817> (8735)_,
and the great man
<0376>
humbleth
<08213> (8799)
himself: therefore forgive
<05375> (8799)
them not.
Enter
<0935> (8798)
into the rock
<06697>_,
and hide
<02934> (8734)
thee in the dust
<06083>_,
for
<06440>
fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for the glory
<01926>
of his majesty
<01347>_.
The lofty
<01365>
looks
<05869>
of man
<0120>
shall be humbled
<08213> (8804)_,
and the haughtiness
<07312>
of men
<0582>
shall be bowed down
<07817> (8804)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
alone shall be exalted
<07682> (8738)
in that day
<03117>_.
For the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[shall be] upon every [one that is] proud
<01343>
and lofty
<07311> (8802)_,
and upon every [one that is] lifted up
<05375> (8737)_;
and he shall be brought low
<08213> (8804)_:
And upon all the cedars
<0730>
of Lebanon
<03844>_,
[that are] high
<07311> (8802)
and lifted up
<05375> (8737)_,
and upon all the oaks
<0437>
of Bashan
<01316>_,
And upon all the high
<07311> (8802)
mountains
<02022>_,
and upon all the hills
<01389>
[that are] lifted up
<05375> (8737)_,
And upon every high
<01364>
tower
<04026>_,
and upon every fenced
<01219> (8803)
wall
<02346>_,
And upon all the ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>_,
and upon all pleasant
<02532>
pictures
<07914>_.
{pleasant...: Heb. pictures of desire}
And the loftiness
<01365>
of man
<0120>
shall be bowed down
<07817> (8804)_,
and the haughtiness
<07312>
of men
<0582>
shall be made low
<08213> (8804)_:
and the LORD
<03068>
alone shall be exalted
<07682> (8738)
in that day
<03117>_.
And the idols
<0457>
he shall utterly
<03632>
abolish
<02498> (8799)_.
{he...: or, shall utterly pass away}
And they shall go
<0935> (8804)
into the holes
<04631>
of the rocks
<06697>_,
and into the caves
<04247>
of the earth
<06083>_,
for
<06440>
fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for the glory
<01926>
of his majesty
<01347>_,
when he ariseth
<06965> (8800)
to shake terribly
<06206> (8800)
the earth
<0776>_.
{of the earth: Heb. of the dust}
In that day
<03117>
a man
<0120>
shall cast
<07993> (8686)
his idols
<0457>
of silver
<03701>_,
and his idols
<0457>
of gold
<02091>_,
which they made [each one] for himself
<06213> (8804)
to worship
<07812> (8692)_,
to the moles
<02661> <06512>
and to the bats
<05847>_;
{his idols of silver...: Heb. the idols of his silver, etc} {each...: or, for him}
To go
<0935> (8800)
into the clefts
<05366>
of the rocks
<06697>_,
and into the tops
<05585>
of the ragged rocks
<05553>_,
for
<06440>
fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for the glory
<01926>
of his majesty
<01347>_,
when he ariseth
<06965> (8800)
to shake terribly
<06206> (8800)
the earth
<0776>_.
Cease
<02308> (8798)
ye from man
<0120>_,
whose breath
<05397>
[is] in his nostrils
<0639>_:
for wherein is he to be accounted of
<02803> (8737)_?
For, behold, the Lord
<0113>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
doth take away
<05493> (8688)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
and from Judah
<03063>
the stay
<04937>
and the staff
<04938>_,
the whole stay
<04937>
of bread
<03899>_,
and the whole
<03605>
stay
<04937>
of water
<04325>_,
The mighty man
<01368>_,
and the man
<0376>
of war
<04421>_,
the judge
<08199> (8802)_,
and the prophet
<05030>_,
and the prudent
<07080> (8802)_,
and the ancient
<02205>_,
The captain
<08269>
of fifty
<02572>_,
and the honourable
<05375> (8803)
man
<06440>_,
and the counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,
and the cunning
<02450>
artificer
<02791>_,
and the eloquent
<0995> (8737)
orator
<03908>_.
{the honourable...: Heb. a man eminent in countenance} {eloquent...: or, skilful of speech}
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
children
<05288>
[to be] their princes
<08269>_,
and babes
<08586>
shall rule
<04910> (8799)
over them.
And the people
<05971>
shall be oppressed
<05065> (8738)_,
every one
<0376>
by another
<0376>_,
and every one
<0376>
by his neighbour
<07453>_:
the child
<05288>
shall behave himself proudly
<07292> (8799)
against the ancient
<02205>_,
and the base
<07034> (8737)
against the honourable
<03513> (8737)_.
When a man
<0376>
shall take hold
<08610> (8799)
of his brother
<0251>
of the house
<01004>
of his father
<01>_,
[saying], Thou hast clothing
<08071>_,
be thou our ruler
<07101>_,
and [let] this ruin
<04384>
[be] under thy hand
<03027>_:
In that day
<03117>
shall he swear
<05375> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I will not be an healer
<02280> (8802)_;
for in my house
<01004>
[is] neither bread
<03899>
nor clothing
<08071>_:
make
<07760> (8799)
me not a ruler
<07101>
of the people
<05971>_.
{swear: Heb. lift up the hand} {healer: Heb. binder up}
For Jerusalem
<03389>
is ruined
<03782> (8804)_,
and Judah
<03063>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_:
because their tongue
<03956>
and their doings
<04611>
[are] against the LORD
<03068>_,
to provoke
<04784> (8687)
the eyes
<05869>
of his glory
<03519>_.
The shew
<01971>
of their countenance
<06440>
doth witness against them
<06030> (8804)_;
and they declare
<05046> (8689)
their sin
<02403>
as Sodom
<05467>_,
they hide
<03582> (8765)
[it] not. Woe
<0188>
unto their soul
<05315>_!
for they have rewarded
<01580> (8804)
evil
<07451>
unto themselves.
Say
<0559> (8798)
ye to the righteous
<06662>_,
that [it shall be] well
<02896>
[with him]: for they shall eat
<0398> (8799)
the fruit
<06529>
of their doings
<04611>_.
Woe
<0188>
unto the wicked
<07563>_!
[it shall be] ill
<07451>
[with him]: for the reward
<01576>
of his hands
<03027>
shall be given
<06213> (8735)
him. {given...: Heb. done to him}
[As for] my people
<05971>_,
children
<05953> (8781)
[are] their oppressors
<05065> (8802)_,
and women
<0802>
rule
<04910> (8804)
over them. O my people
<05971>_,
they which lead
<0833> (8764)
thee cause [thee] to err
<08582> (8688)_,
and destroy
<01104> (8765)
the way
<01870>
of thy paths
<0734>_.
{lead...: or, call thee blessed} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
The LORD
<03068>
standeth up
<05324> (8737)
to plead
<07378> (8800)_,
and standeth
<05975> (8802)
to judge
<01777> (8800)
the people
<05971>_.
The LORD
<03068>
will enter
<0935> (8799)
into judgment
<04941>
with the ancients
<02205>
of his people
<05971>_,
and the princes
<08269>
thereof: for ye have eaten up
<01197> (8765)
the vineyard
<03754>_;
the spoil
<01500>
of the poor
<06041>
[is] in your houses
<01004>_.
{eaten: or, burnt}
What mean ye [that] ye beat
<01792> (0)
my people
<05971>
to pieces
<01792> (8762)_,
and grind
<02912> (8799)
the faces
<06440>
of the poor
<06041>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Because
<03282>
the daughters
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
are haughty
<01361> (8804)_,
and walk
<03212> (8799)
with stretched forth
<05186> (8803)
necks
<01627>
and wanton
<08265> (8764)
eyes
<05869>_,
walking
<01980> (8800)
and mincing
<02952> (8800)
[as] they go
<03212> (8799)_,
and making a tinkling
<05913> (8762)
with their feet
<07272>_:
{wanton...: Heb. deceiving with their eyes} {mincing: or, tripping nicely}
Therefore the Lord
<0136>
will smite with a scab
<05596> (8765)
the crown of the head
<06936>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
will discover
<06168> (8762)
their secret parts
<06596>_.
{discover: Heb. make naked}
In that day
<03117>
the Lord
<0136>
will take away
<05493> (8686)
the bravery
<08597>
of [their] tinkling ornaments
<05914>
[about their feet], and [their] cauls
<07636>_,
and [their] round tires like the moon
<07720>_,
{cauls: or, networks}
The chains
<05188>_,
and the bracelets
<08285>_,
and the mufflers
<07479>_,
{chains: or, sweet balls} {mufflers: or, spangled ornaments}
The bonnets
<06287>_,
and the ornaments of the legs
<06807>_,
and the headbands
<07196>_,
and the tablets
<05315> <01004>_,
and the earrings
<03908>_,
{tablets: Heb. houses of the soul}
The rings
<02885>_,
and nose
<0639>
jewels
<05141>_,
The changeable suits of apparel
<04254>_,
and the mantles
<04595>_,
and the wimples
<04304>_,
and the crisping pins
<02754>_,
The glasses
<01549>_,
and the fine linen
<05466>_,
and the hoods
<06797>_,
and the vails
<07289>_.
And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell
<01314>
there shall be stink
<04716>_;
and instead of a girdle
<02290>
a rent
<05364>_;
and instead of well set
<04639>
hair
<04748>
baldness
<07144>_;
and instead of a stomacher
<06614>
a girding
<04228>
of sackcloth
<08242>_;
[and] burning
<03587>
instead of beauty
<03308>_.
Thy men
<04962>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and thy mighty
<01369>
in the war
<04421>_.
{mighty: Heb. might}
And her gates
<06607>
shall lament
<0578> (8804)
and mourn
<056> (8804)_;
and she [being] desolate
<05352> (8738)
shall sit
<03427> (8799)
upon the ground
<0776>_.
{desolate: or, emptied: Heb. cleansed}
And in that day
<03117>
seven
<07651>
women
<0802>
shall take hold
<02388> (8689)
of one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We will eat
<0398> (8799)
our own bread
<03899>_,
and wear
<03847> (8799)
our own apparel
<08071>_:
only let us be called
<07121> (8735)
by thy name
<08034>_,
to take away
<0622> (8798)
our reproach
<02781>_.
{let...: Heb. let thy name be called upon us} {to take...: or, take thou away}
In that day
<03117>
shall the branch
<06780>
of the LORD
<03068>
be beautiful
<06643>
and glorious
<03519>_,
and the fruit
<06529>
of the earth
<0776>
[shall be] excellent
<01347>
and comely for
<08597>
them that are escaped
<06413>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{beautiful...: Heb. beauty and glory} {them...: Heb. the escaping}
And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left
<07604> (8737)
in Zion
<06726>_,
and [he that] remaineth
<03498> (8737)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
shall be called
<0559> (8735)
holy
<06918>_,
[even] every one that is written
<03789> (8803)
among the living
<02416>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
{among...: or, to life}
When the Lord
<0136>
shall have washed away
<07364> (8804)
the filth
<06675>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
and shall have purged
<01740> (8686)
the blood
<01818>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
from the midst
<07130>
thereof by the spirit
<07307>
of judgment
<04941>_,
and by the spirit
<07307>
of burning
<01197> (8763)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
will create
<01254> (8804)
upon every dwelling place
<04349>
of mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_,
and upon her assemblies
<04744>_,
a cloud
<06051>
and smoke
<06227>
by day
<03119>_,
and the shining
<05051>
of a flaming
<03852>
fire
<0784>
by night
<03915>_:
for upon all the glory
<03519>
[shall be] a defence
<02646>_.
{upon all: or, above all} {defence: Heb. covering}
And there shall be a tabernacle
<05521>
for a shadow
<06738>
in the daytime
<03119>
from the heat
<02721>_,
and for a place of refuge
<04268>_,
and for a covert
<04563>
from storm
<02230>
and from rain
<04306>_.
Now will I sing
<07891> (8799)
to my wellbeloved
<03039>
a song
<07892>
of my beloved
<01730>
touching his vineyard
<03754>_.
My wellbeloved
<03039>
hath a vineyard
<03754>
in a very fruitful
<01121> <08081>
hill
<07161>_:
{a very...: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
And he fenced
<05823> (8762)
it, and gathered out the stones
<05619> (8762)
thereof, and planted
<05193> (8799)
it with the choicest vine
<08321>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
a tower
<04026>
in the midst
<08432>
of it, and also made
<02672> (8804)
a winepress
<03342>
therein: and he looked
<06960> (8762)
that it should bring forth
<06213> (8800)
grapes
<06025>_,
and it brought forth
<06213> (8799)
wild grapes
<0891>_.
{fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
judge
<08199> (8798)_,
I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard
<03754>_.
What could have been done
<06213> (8800)
more to my vineyard
<03754>_,
that I have not done
<06213> (8804)
in it? wherefore
<04069>_,
when I looked
<06960> (8765)
that it should bring forth
<06213> (8800)
grapes
<06025>_,
brought it forth
<06213> (8799)
wild grapes
<0891>_?
And now go to; I will tell
<03045> (8686)
you what I will do
<06213> (8802)
to my vineyard
<03754>_:
I will take away
<05493> (8687)
the hedge
<04881>
thereof, and it shall be eaten up
<01197> (8763)_;
[and] break down
<06555> (8800)
the wall
<01447>
thereof, and it shall be trodden down
<04823>_:
{trodden...: Heb. for a treading}
And I will lay
<07896> (8799)
it waste
<01326>_:
it shall not be pruned
<02168> (8735)_,
nor digged
<05737> (8735)_;
but there shall come up
<05927> (8804)
briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_:
I will also command
<06680> (8762)
the clouds
<05645>
that they rain
<04305> (8687)
no rain
<04306>
upon it.
For the vineyard
<03754>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
his pleasant
<08191>
plant
<05194>_:
and he looked
<06960> (8762)
for judgment
<04941>_,
but behold oppression
<04939>_;
for righteousness
<06666>_,
but behold a cry
<06818>_.
{his...: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
Woe
<01945>
unto them that join
<05060> (8688)
house
<01004>
to house
<01004>_,
[that] lay
<07126> (8686)
field
<07704>
to field
<07704>_,
till [there be] no
<0657>
place
<04725>_,
that they may be placed
<03427> (8717)
alone in the midst
<07130>
of the earth
<0776>_!
{they: Heb. ye}
In mine ears
<0241>
[said] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Of a truth
<03808>
many
<07227>
houses
<01004>
shall be desolate
<08047>_,
[even] great
<01419>
and fair
<02896>_,
without inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
{In...: or, This is in mine ears, saith the LORD, etc} {Of a...: Heb. If not, etc}
Yea
<03588>_,
ten
<06235>
acres
<06776>
of vineyard
<03754>
shall yield
<06213> (8799)
one
<0259>
bath
<01324>_,
and the seed
<02233>
of an homer
<02563>
shall yield
<06213> (8799)
an ephah
<0374>_.
Woe
<01945>
unto them that rise up early
<07925> (8688)
in the morning
<01242>_,
[that] they may follow
<07291> (8799)
strong drink
<07941>_;
that continue
<0309> (8764)
until night
<05399>_,
[till] wine
<03196>
inflame
<01814> (8686)
them! {inflame: of, pursue}
And the harp
<03658>_,
and the viol
<05035>_,
the tabret
<08596>_,
and pipe
<02485>_,
and wine
<03196>_,
are in their feasts
<04960>_:
but they regard
<05027> (8686)
not the work
<06467>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
neither consider
<07200> (8804)
the operation
<04639>
of his hands
<03027>_.
Therefore my people
<05971>
are gone into captivity
<01540> (8804)_,
because [they have] no knowledge
<01847>_:
and their honourable
<03519>
men
<04962>
[are] famished
<07458>_,
and their multitude
<01995>
dried up
<06704>
with thirst
<06772>_.
{honourable...: Heb. glory are men of famine}
Therefore hell
<07585>
hath enlarged
<07337> (8689)
herself
<05315>_,
and opened
<06473> (8804)
her mouth
<06310>
without measure
<02706>_:
and their glory
<01926>_,
and their multitude
<01995>_,
and their pomp
<07588>_,
and he that rejoiceth
<05938>_,
shall descend
<03381> (8804)
into it.
And the mean man
<0120>
shall be brought down
<07817> (8735)_,
and the mighty man
<0376>
shall be humbled
<08213> (8799)_,
and the eyes
<05869>
of the lofty
<01364>
shall be humbled
<08213> (8799)_:
But the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall be exalted
<01361> (8799)
in judgment
<04941>_,
and God
<0410>
that is holy
<06918>
shall be sanctified
<06942> (8738)
in righteousness
<06666>_.
{God...: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy}
Then shall the lambs
<03532>
feed
<07462> (8804)
after their manner
<01699>_,
and the waste places
<02723>
of the fat ones
<04220>
shall strangers
<01481> (8802)
eat
<0398> (8799)_.
Woe
<01945>
unto them that draw
<04900> (8802)
iniquity
<05771>
with cords
<02256>
of vanity
<07723>_,
and sin
<02403>
as it were with a cart
<05699>
rope
<05688>_:
That say
<0559> (8802)_,
Let him make speed
<04116> (8762)_,
[and] hasten
<02363> (8686)
his work
<04639>_,
that we may see
<07200> (8799)
[it]: and let the counsel
<06098>
of the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
draw nigh
<07126> (8799)
and come
<0935> (8799)_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)
[it]!
Woe
<01945>
unto them that call
<0559> (8802)
evil
<07451>
good
<02896>_,
and good
<02896>
evil
<07451>_;
that put
<07760> (8802)
darkness
<02822>
for light
<0216>_,
and light
<0216>
for darkness
<02822>_;
that put
<07760> (8802)
bitter
<04751>
for sweet
<04966>_,
and sweet
<04966>
for bitter
<04751>_!
{call...: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc}
Woe
<01945>
unto [them that are] wise
<02450>
in their own eyes
<05869>_,
and prudent
<0995> (8737)
in their own sight
<06440>_!
{in their own sight: Heb. before their face}
Woe
<01945>
unto [them that are] mighty
<01368>
to drink
<08354> (8800)
wine
<03196>_,
and men
<0582>
of strength
<02428>
to mingle
<04537> (8800)
strong drink
<07941>_:
Which justify
<06663> (8688)
the wicked
<07563>
for
<06118>
reward
<07810>_,
and take away
<05493> (8686)
the righteousness
<06666>
of the righteous
<06662>
from him!
Therefore as the fire
<0784>
devoureth
<0398> (8800)
the stubble
<07179>_,
and the flame
<03956> <03852>
consumeth
<07503> (8799)
the chaff
<02842>_,
[so] their root
<08328>
shall be as rottenness
<04716>_,
and their blossom
<06525>
shall go up
<05927> (8799)
as dust
<080>_:
because they have cast away
<03988> (8804)
the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and despised
<05006> (8765)
the word
<0565>
of the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{fire: Heb. tongue of fire}
Therefore is the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
kindled
<02734> (8804)
against his people
<05971>_,
and he hath stretched forth
<05186> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
against them, and hath smitten
<05221> (8686)
them: and the hills
<02022>
did tremble
<07264> (8799)_,
and their carcases
<05038>
[were] torn
<05478>
in the midst
<07130>
of the streets
<02351>_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out
<05186> (8803)
still. {torn: or, as dung}
And he will lift up
<05375> (8804)
an ensign
<05251>
to the nations
<01471>
from far
<07350>_,
and will hiss
<08319> (8804)
unto them from the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_:
and, behold, they shall come
<0935> (8799)
with speed
<04120>
swiftly
<07031>_:
None shall be weary
<05889>
nor stumble
<03782> (8802)
among them; none shall slumber
<05123> (8799)
nor sleep
<03462> (8799)_;
neither shall the girdle
<0232>
of their loins
<02504>
be loosed
<06605> (8738)_,
nor the latchet
<08288>
of their shoes
<05275>
be broken
<05423> (8738)_:
Whose arrows
<02671>
[are] sharp
<08150> (8802)_,
and all their bows
<07198>
bent
<01869> (8803)_,
their horses
<05483>_'
hoofs
<06541>
shall be counted
<02803> (8738)
like flint
<06862>_,
and their wheels
<01534>
like a whirlwind
<05492>_:
Their roaring
<07581>
[shall be] like a lion
<03833>_,
they shall roar
<07580> (8799) (8675) <07580> (8804)
like young lions
<03715>_:
yea, they shall roar
<05098> (8799)_,
and lay hold
<0270> (8799)
of the prey
<02964>_,
and shall carry [it] away safe
<06403> (8686)_,
and none shall deliver
<05337> (8688)
[it].
And in that day
<03117>
they shall roar
<05098> (8799)
against them like the roaring
<05100>
of the sea
<03220>_:
and if [one] look
<05027> (8765)
unto the land
<0776>_,
behold darkness
<02822>
[and] sorrow
<06862>_,
and the light
<0216>
is darkened
<02821> (8804)
in the heavens
<06183>
thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light...: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
In the year
<08141>
that king
<04428>
Uzziah
<05818>
died
<04194>
I saw
<07200> (8799)
also
<0853>
the Lord
<0136>
sitting
<03427> (8802)
upon a throne
<03678>_,
high
<07311> (8802)
and lifted up
<05375> (8737)_,
and his train
<07757>
filled
<04392> <0853>
the temple
<01964>_.
{his...: or, the skirts thereof}
Above
<04605>
it stood
<05975> (8802)
the seraphims
<08314>_:
each one
<0259>
had six
<08337>
wings
<03671>_;
with twain
<08147>
he covered
<03680> (8762)
his face
<06440>_,
and with twain
<08147>
he covered
<03680> (8762)
his feet
<07272>_,
and with twain
<08147>
he did fly
<05774> (8787)_.
And one cried
<07121> (8804)
unto another, and said
<0559> (8804)_,
Holy
<06918>_,
holy
<06918>_,
holy
<06918>_,
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_:
the whole earth
<0776>
[is] full
<04393>
of his glory
<03519>_.
{one...: Heb. this cried to this} {the whole...: Heb. his glory is the fulness of the whole earth}
And the posts
<0520>
of the door
<05592>
moved
<05128> (8799)
at the voice
<06963>
of him that cried
<07121> (8802)_,
and the house
<01004>
was filled
<04390> (8735)
with smoke
<06227>_.
{door: Heb. thresholds}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, Woe
<0188>
[is] me! for I am undone
<01820> (8738)_;
because I [am] a man
<0376>
of unclean
<02931>
lips
<08193>_,
and I dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the midst
<08432>
of a people
<05971>
of unclean
<02931>
lips
<08193>_:
for mine eyes
<05869>
have seen
<07200> (8804)
the King
<04428>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{undone: Heb. cut off}
Then flew
<05774> (8799)
one
<0259>
of the seraphims
<08314>
unto me, having a live coal
<07531>
in his hand
<03027>_,
[which] he had taken
<03947> (8804)
with the tongs
<04457>
from off the altar
<04196>_:
{having...: Heb. and in his hand a live coal}
And he laid
<05060> (8686)
[it] upon my mouth
<06310>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lo, this hath touched
<05060> (8804)
thy lips
<08193>_;
and thine iniquity
<05771>
is taken away
<05493> (8804)_,
and thy sin
<02403>
purged
<03722> (8792)_.
{laid...: Heb. caused it to touch}
Also I heard
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the Lord
<0136>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)_,
Whom shall I send
<07971> (8799)_,
and who will go
<03212> (8799)
for us? Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, Here [am] I; send
<07971> (8798)
me. {Here...: Heb. behold me}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
and tell
<0559> (8804)
this people
<05971>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye indeed
<08085> (8800)_,
but understand
<0995> (8799)
not; and see
<07200> (8798)
ye indeed
<07200> (8800)_,
but perceive
<03045> (8799)
not. {indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc}
Make the heart
<03820>
of this people
<05971>
fat
<08080> (8685)_,
and make their ears
<0241>
heavy
<03513> (8685)_,
and shut
<08173> (8685)
their eyes
<05869>_;
lest they see
<07200> (8799)
with their eyes
<05869>_,
and hear
<08085> (8799)
with their ears
<0241>_,
and understand
<0995> (8799)
with their heart
<03824>_,
and convert
<07725> (8802)_,
and be healed
<07495> (8804)_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, Lord
<0136>_,
how long? And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Until the cities
<05892>
be wasted
<07582> (8804)
without inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_,
and the houses
<01004>
without man
<0120>_,
and the land
<0127>
be utterly
<08077>
desolate
<07582> (8735)_,
{utterly...: Heb. desolate with desolation}
And the LORD
<03068>
have removed
<07368> (0)
men
<0120>
far away
<07368> (8765)_,
and [there be] a great
<07227>
forsaking
<05805>
in the midst
<07130>
of the land
<0776>_.
But yet in it [shall be] a tenth
<06224>_,
and [it] shall return
<07725> (8804)_,
and shall be eaten
<01197> (8763)_:
as a teil tree
<0424>_,
and as an oak
<0437>_,
whose substance
<04678>
[is] in them, when they cast
<07995>
[their leaves: so] the holy
<06944>
seed
<02233>
[shall be] the substance
<04678>
thereof. {and it...: or, when it is returned, and hath been broused} {substance: or, stock, or, stem}
And it came to pass in the days
<03117>
of Ahaz
<0271>
the son
<01121>
of Jotham
<03147>_,
the son
<01121>
of Uzziah
<05818>_,
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
[that] Rezin
<07526>
the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
and Pekah
<06492>
the son
<01121>
of Remaliah
<07425>_,
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
went up
<05927> (8804)
toward Jerusalem
<03389>
to war
<04421>
against it, but could
<03201> (8804)
not prevail
<03898> (8736)
against it.
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Syria
<0758>
is confederate
<05117> (8804)
with Ephraim
<0669>_.
And his heart
<03824>
was moved
<05128> (8799)_,
and the heart
<03824>
of his people
<05971>_,
as the trees
<06086>
of the wood
<03293>
are moved
<05128> (8800)
with
<06440>
the wind
<07307>_.
{is confederate...: Heb. resteth on}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
unto Isaiah
<03470>_,
Go forth
<03318> (8798)
now to meet
<07125> (8800)
Ahaz
<0271>_,
thou, and Shearjashub
<07610>
thy son
<01121>_,
at the end
<07097>
of the conduit
<08585>
of the upper
<05945>
pool
<01295>
in the highway
<04546>
of the fuller's
<03526> (8801)
field
<07704>_;
{Shearjashub: that is, The remnant shall return} {highway: or, causeway}
And say
<0559> (8804)
unto him, Take heed
<08104> (8734)_,
and be quiet
<08252> (8685)_;
fear
<03372> (8799)
not, neither be fainthearted
<07401> (8735) <03824>
for the two
<08147>
tails
<02180>
of these smoking
<06226>
firebrands
<0181>_,
for the fierce
<02750>
anger
<0639>
of Rezin
<07526>
with Syria
<0758>_,
and of the son
<01121>
of Remaliah
<07425>_.
{neither...: Heb. let not thy heart be tender}
Because Syria
<0758>_,
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and the son
<01121>
of Remaliah
<07425>_,
have taken evil
<07451>
counsel
<03289> (8804)
against thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let us go up
<05927> (8799)
against Judah
<03063>_,
and vex
<06973> (8686)
it, and let us make a breach
<01234> (8686)
therein for us, and set
<04427> (8686)
a king
<04428>
in the midst
<08432>
of it, [even] the son
<01121>
of Tabeal
<02870>_:
{vex: or, waken}
Thus
<03541>
saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
It shall not stand
<06965> (8799)_,
neither shall it come to pass.
For the head
<07218>
of Syria
<0758>
[is] Damascus
<01834>_,
and the head
<07218>
of Damascus
<01834>
[is] Rezin
<07526>_;
and within threescore
<08346>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
shall Ephraim
<0669>
be broken
<02865> (8735)_,
that it be not a people
<05971>_.
{that...: Heb. from a people}
And the head
<07218>
of Ephraim
<0669>
[is] Samaria
<08111>_,
and the head
<07218>
of Samaria
<08111>
[is] Remaliah's
<07425>
son
<01121>_.
If ye will not believe
<0539> (8686)_,
surely ye shall not be established
<0539> (8735)_.
{If...: or, Do ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable}
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8763)
again
<03254> (8686)
unto Ahaz
<0271>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{Moreover...: Heb. And the LORD added to speak}
Ask
<07592> (8798)
thee a sign
<0226>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_;
ask
<07592> (8800)
it either in the depth
<06009> (8685)_,
or in the height
<01361> (8687)
above
<04605>_.
{ask it...: or, make thy petition deep}
But Ahaz
<0271>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not ask
<07592> (8799)_,
neither will I tempt
<05254> (8762) <0853>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye now, O house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_;
[Is it] a small thing
<04592>
for you to weary
<03811> (8687)
men
<0582>_,
but will ye weary
<03811> (8686)
my God
<0430>
also?
Therefore the Lord
<0136>
himself shall give
<05414> (8799)
you a sign
<0226>_;
Behold, a virgin
<05959>
shall conceive
<02030>_,
and bear
<03205> (8802)
a son
<01121>_,
and shall call
<07121> (8804)
his name
<08034>
Immanuel
<0410> <06005>_.
{shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
Butter
<02529>
and honey
<01706>
shall he eat
<0398> (8799)_,
that he may know
<03045> (8800)
to refuse
<03988> (8800)
the evil
<07451>_,
and choose
<0977> (8800)
the good
<02896>_.
For before the child
<05288>
shall know
<03045> (8799)
to refuse
<03988> (8800)
the evil
<07451>_,
and choose
<0977> (8800)
the good
<02896>_,
the land
<0127>
that thou abhorrest
<06973> (8801)
shall be
<06440>
forsaken
<05800> (8735)
of both
<08147>
her kings
<04428>_.
The LORD
<03068>
shall bring
<0935> (8686)
upon thee, and upon thy people
<05971>_,
and upon thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
days
<03117>
that have not come
<0935> (8804)_,
from the day
<03117>
that Ephraim
<0669>
departed
<05493> (8800)
from Judah
<03063>_;
[even] the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the LORD
<03068>
shall hiss
<08319> (8799)
for the fly
<02070>
that [is] in the uttermost part
<07097>
of the rivers
<02975>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and for the bee
<01682>
that [is] in the land
<0776>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
And they shall come
<0935> (8804)_,
and shall rest
<05117> (8804)
all of them in the desolate
<01327>
valleys
<05158>_,
and in the holes
<05357>
of the rocks
<05553>_,
and upon all thorns
<05285>_,
and upon all bushes
<05097>_.
{bushes: or, commendable trees}
In the same day
<03117>
shall the Lord
<0136>
shave
<01548> (8762)
with a razor
<08593>
that is hired
<07917>_,
[namely], by them beyond
<05676>
the river
<05104>_,
by the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
the head
<07218>_,
and the hair
<08181>
of the feet
<07272>_:
and it shall also consume
<05595> (8799)
the beard
<02206>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] a man
<0376>
shall nourish
<02421> (8762)
a young
<01241>
cow
<05697>_,
and two
<08147>
sheep
<06629>_;
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance
<07230>
of milk
<02461>
[that] they shall give
<06213> (8800)
he shall eat
<0398> (8799)
butter
<02529>_:
for butter
<02529>
and honey
<01706>
shall every one eat
<0398> (8799)
that is left
<03498> (8737)
in
<07130>
the land
<0776>_.
{the land: Heb. the midst of the land}
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] every place
<04725>
shall be, where there were a thousand
<0505>
vines
<01612>
at a thousand
<0505>
silverlings
<03701>_,
it shall [even] be for briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_.
With arrows
<02671>
and with bows
<07198>
shall [men] come
<0935> (8799)
thither; because all the land
<0776>
shall become briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_.
And [on] all hills
<02022>
that shall be digged
<05737> (8735)
with the mattock
<04576>_,
there shall not come thither
<0935> (8799)
the fear
<03374>
of briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_:
but it shall be for the sending forth
<04916>
of oxen
<07794>_,
and for the treading
<04823>
of lesser cattle
<07716>_.
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Take
<03947> (8798)
thee a great
<01419>
roll
<01549>_,
and write
<03789> (8798)
in it with a man's
<0582>
pen
<02747>
concerning Mahershalalhashbaz
<04122>_.
{Mahershalalhashbaz: Heb. In making speed to the spoil he hasteneth the prey, or, Make speed, etc}
And I took
<05749> (0)
unto me faithful
<0539> (8737)
witnesses
<05707>
to record
<05749> (8686)_,
Uriah
<0223>
the priest
<03548>_,
and Zechariah
<02148>
the son
<01121>
of Jeberechiah
<03000>_.
And I went
<07126> (8799)
unto the prophetess
<05031>_;
and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
to me, Call
<07121> (8798)
his name
<08034>
Mahershalalhashbaz
<04122>_.
{went: Heb. approached}
For before the child
<05288>
shall have knowledge
<03045> (8799)
to cry
<07121> (8800)_,
My father
<01>_,
and my mother
<0517>_,
the riches
<02428>
of Damascus
<01834>
and the spoil
<07998>
of Samaria
<08111>
shall be taken away
<05375> (8799)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
{the riches...: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc}
The LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8763)
also unto me again
<03254> (8686)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Forasmuch
<03282>
as this people
<05971>
refuseth
<03988> (8804)
the waters
<04325>
of Shiloah
<07975>
that go
<01980> (8802)
softly
<0328>_,
and rejoice
<04885>
in Rezin
<07526>
and Remaliah's
<07425>
son
<01121>_;
Now therefore, behold, the Lord
<0136>
bringeth up
<05927> (8688)
upon them the waters
<04325>
of the river
<05104>_,
strong
<06099>
and many
<07227>_,
[even] the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and all his glory
<03519>_:
and he shall come up
<05927> (8804)
over all his channels
<0650>_,
and go over
<01980> (8804)
all his banks
<01415>_:
And he shall pass
<02498> (8804)
through Judah
<03063>_;
he shall overflow
<07857> (8804)
and go over
<05674> (8804)_,
he shall reach
<05060> (8686)
[even] to the neck
<06677>_;
and the stretching out
<04298>
of his wings
<03671>
shall fill
<04393>
the breadth
<07341>
of thy land
<0776>_,
O Immanuel
<06005> <0410>_.
{stretching...: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings}
Associate
<07489> (8798)
yourselves, O ye people
<05971>_,
and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_;
and give ear
<0238> (8685)_,
all
<03605>
ye of far
<04801>
countries
<0776>_:
gird
<0247> (8690)
yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_;
gird
<0247> (8690)
yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces
<02865> (8798)_.
{people and: or, people, yet}
Take
<05779> (0)
counsel
<06098>
together
<05779> (8798)_,
and it shall come to nought
<06565> (8714)_;
speak
<01696> (8761)
the word
<01697>_,
and it shall not stand
<06965> (8799)_:
for God
<0410>
[is] with us.
For the LORD
<03068>
spake
<0559> (8804)
thus to me with a strong
<02393>
hand
<03027>_,
and instructed
<03256> (8765)
me that I should not walk
<03212> (8800)
in the way
<01870>
of this people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{with...: Heb. in strength of hand}
Say
<0559> (8799)
ye not, A confederacy
<07195>_,
to all [them to] whom this people
<05971>
shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
A confederacy
<07195>_;
neither fear
<03372> (8799)
ye their fear
<04172>_,
nor be afraid
<06206> (8686)_.
Sanctify
<06942> (8686)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
himself; and [let] him [be] your fear
<04172>_,
and [let] him [be] your dread
<06206> (8688)_.
And he shall be for a sanctuary
<04720>_;
but for a stone
<068>
of stumbling
<05063>
and for a rock
<06697>
of offence
<04383>
to both
<08147>
the houses
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
for a gin
<06341>
and for a snare
<04170>
to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And many
<07227>
among them shall stumble
<03782> (8804)_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)_,
and be broken
<07665> (8738)_,
and be snared
<03369> (8738)_,
and be taken
<03920> (8738)_.
Bind up
<06887> (8798)
the testimony
<08584>_,
seal
<02856> (8798)
the law
<08451>
among my disciples
<03928>_.
And I will wait
<02442> (8765)
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
that hideth
<05641> (8688)
his face
<06440>
from the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and I will look
<06960> (8765)
for him.
Behold, I and the children
<03206>
whom the LORD
<03068>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me [are] for signs
<0226>
and for wonders
<04159>
in Israel
<03478>
from the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which dwelleth
<07931> (8802)
in mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_.
And when they shall say
<0559> (8799)
unto you, Seek
<01875> (8798)
unto them that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,
and unto wizards
<03049>
that peep
<06850> (8772)_,
and that mutter
<01897> (8688)_:
should not a people
<05971>
seek
<01875> (8799)
unto their God
<0430>_?
for the living
<02416>
to the dead
<04191> (8801)_?
To the law
<08451>
and to the testimony
<08584>_:
if they speak
<0559> (8799)
not according to this word
<01697>_,
[it is] because [there is] no light
<07837>
in them. {no...: Heb. no morning}
And they shall pass
<05674> (8804)
through it, hardly bestead
<07185> (8737)
and hungry
<07457>_:
and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry
<07456> (8799)_,
they shall fret
<07107> (8694)
themselves, and curse
<07043> (8765)
their king
<04428>
and their God
<0430>_,
and look
<06437> (8804)
upward
<04605>_.
And they shall look
<05027> (8686)
unto the earth
<0776>_;
and behold trouble
<06869>
and darkness
<02825>_,
dimness
<04588>
of anguish
<06695>_;
and [they shall be] driven
<05080> (8794)
to darkness
<0653>_.
Nevertheless the dimness
<04155>
[shall] not [be] such as [was] in her vexation
<04164>_,
when
<06256>
at the first
<07223>
he lightly afflicted
<07043> (8689)
the land
<0776>
of Zebulun
<02074>
and the land
<0776>
of Naphtali
<05321>_,
and afterward
<0314>
did more grievously afflict
<03513> (8689)
[her by] the way
<01870>
of the sea
<03220>_,
beyond
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_,
in Galilee
<01551>
of the nations
<01471>_.
{of the nations: or, populous}
The people
<05971>
that walked
<01980> (8802)
in darkness
<02822>
have seen
<07200> (8804)
a great
<01419>
light
<0216>_:
they that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of the shadow of death
<06757>_,
upon them hath the light
<0216>
shined
<05050> (8804)_.
Thou hast multiplied
<07235> (8689)
the nation
<01471>_,
[and] not increased
<01431> (8689)
the joy
<08057>_:
they joy
<08055> (8804)
before
<06440>
thee according to the joy
<08057>
in harvest
<07105>_,
[and] as [men] rejoice
<01523> (8799)
when they divide
<02505> (8763)
the spoil
<07998>_.
{not: or, to him}
For thou hast broken
<02865> (8689)
the yoke
<05923>
of his burden
<05448>_,
and the staff
<04294>
of his shoulder
<07926>_,
the rod
<07626>
of his oppressor
<05065> (8802)_,
as in the day
<03117>
of Midian
<04080>_.
{For...: or, When thou brakest}
For every battle
<05430>
of the warrior
<05431> (8802)
[is] with confused noise
<07494>_,
and garments
<08071>
rolled
<01556> (8775)
in blood
<01818>_;
but [this] shall be with burning
<08316>
[and] fuel
<03980>
of fire
<0784>_.
{For...: or, When the whole battle of the warrior was, etc} {but...: or, and it was, etc} {fuel: Heb. meat}
For unto us a child
<03206>
is born
<03205> (8795)_,
unto us a son
<01121>
is given
<05414> (8738)_:
and the government
<04951>
shall be upon his shoulder
<07926>_:
and his name
<08034>
shall be called
<07121> (8799)
Wonderful
<06382>_,
Counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,
The mighty
<01368>
God
<0410>_,
The everlasting
<05703>
Father
<01>_,
The Prince
<08269>
of Peace
<07965>_.
Of the increase
<04766>
of [his] government
<04951>
and peace
<07965>
[there shall be] no end
<07093>_,
upon the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>_,
and upon his kingdom
<04467>_,
to order
<03559> (8687)
it, and to establish
<05582> (8800)
it with judgment
<04941>
and with justice
<06666>
from henceforth even for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
The zeal
<07068>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
will perform
<06213> (8799)
this.
The Lord
<0136>
sent
<07971> (8804)
a word
<01697>
into Jacob
<03290>_,
and it hath lighted
<05307> (8804)
upon Israel
<03478>_.
And all the people
<05971>
shall know
<03045> (8804)_,
[even] Ephraim
<0669>
and the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Samaria
<08111>_,
that say
<0559> (8800)
in the pride
<01346>
and stoutness
<01433>
of heart
<03824>_,
The bricks
<03843>
are fallen down
<05307> (8804)_,
but we will build
<01129> (8799)
with hewn stones
<01496>_:
the sycomores
<08256>
are cut down
<01438> (8795)_,
but we will change
<02498> (8686)
[them into] cedars
<0730>_.
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
shall set up
<07682> (8762)
the adversaries
<06862>
of Rezin
<07526>
against him, and join
<05526> (0)
his enemies
<0341> (8802)
together
<05526> (8770)_;
{join: Heb. mingle}
The Syrians
<0758>
before
<06924>_,
and the Philistines
<06430>
behind
<0268>_;
and they shall devour
<0398> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
with open mouth
<06310>_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.
{open: Heb. whole}
For the people
<05971>
turneth
<07725> (8804)
not unto him that smiteth
<05221> (8688)
them, neither do they seek
<01875> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
will cut off
<03772> (8686)
from Israel
<03478>
head
<07218>
and tail
<02180>_,
branch
<03712>
and rush
<0100>_,
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_.
The ancient
<02205>
and honourable
<06440> <05375> (8803)_,
he
<01931>
[is] the head
<07218>_;
and the prophet
<05030>
that teacheth
<03384> (8688)
lies
<08267>_,
he [is] the tail
<02180>_.
For the leaders
<0833> (8764)
of this people
<05971>
cause [them] to err
<08582> (8688)_;
and [they that are] led
<0833> (8794)
of them [are] destroyed
<01104> (8794)_.
{the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}
Therefore the Lord
<0136>
shall have no joy
<08055> (8799)
in their young men
<0970>_,
neither shall have mercy
<07355> (8762)
on their fatherless
<03490>
and widows
<0490>_:
for every one [is] an hypocrite
<02611>
and an evildoer
<07489> (8688)_,
and every mouth
<06310>
speaketh
<01696> (8802)
folly
<05039>_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.
{folly: or, villany}
For wickedness
<07564>
burneth
<01197> (8804)
as the fire
<0784>_:
it shall devour
<0398> (8799)
the briers
<08068>
and thorns
<07898>_,
and shall kindle
<03341> (8799)
in the thickets
<05442>
of the forest
<03293>_,
and they shall mount up
<055> (8691)
[like] the lifting up
<01348>
of smoke
<06227>_.
Through the wrath
<05678>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
is the land
<0776>
darkened
<06272> (8738)_,
and the people
<05971>
shall be as the fuel
<03980>
of the fire
<0784>_:
no man
<0376>
shall spare
<02550> (8799)
his brother
<0251>_.
{fuel: Heb. meat}
And he shall snatch
<01504> (8799)
on the right hand
<03225>_,
and be hungry
<07457>_;
and he shall eat
<0398> (8799)
on the left hand
<08040>_,
and they shall not be satisfied
<07646> (8804)_:
they shall eat
<0398> (8799)
every man
<0376>
the flesh
<01320>
of his own arm
<02220>_:
{snatch: Heb cut}
Manasseh
<04519>_,
Ephraim
<0669>_;
and Ephraim
<0669>_,
Manasseh
<04519>_:
[and] they together
<03162>
[shall be] against Judah
<03063>_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.
Woe
<01945>
unto them that decree
<02710> (8802)
unrighteous
<0205>
decrees
<02711>_,
and that write
<03789> (8764)
grievousness
<05999>
[which] they have prescribed
<03789> (8765)_;
{that write...: or, to the writers that write grievousness}
To turn aside
<05186> (8687)
the needy
<01800>
from judgment
<01779>_,
and to take away
<01497> (8800)
the right
<04941>
from the poor
<06041>
of my people
<05971>_,
that widows
<0490>
may be their prey
<07998>_,
and [that] they may rob
<0962> (8799)
the fatherless
<03490>_!
And what will ye do
<06213> (8799)
in the day
<03117>
of visitation
<06486>_,
and in the desolation
<07722>
[which] shall come
<0935> (8799)
from far
<04801>_?
to whom will ye flee
<05127> (8799)
for help
<05833>_?
and where will ye leave
<05800> (8799)
your glory
<03519>_?
Without me they shall
<01115>
bow down
<03766> (8804)
under the prisoners
<0616>_,
and they shall fall
<05307> (8799)
under the slain
<02026> (8803)_.
For all this his anger
<0639>
is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,
but his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out still
<05186> (8803)_.
O
<01945>
Assyrian
<0804>_,
the rod
<07626>
of mine anger
<0639>_,
and the staff
<04294>
in their hand
<03027>
is mine indignation
<02195>_.
{O...: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshur} {and: or, though}
I will send
<07971> (8762)
him against an hypocritical
<02611>
nation
<01471>_,
and against the people
<05971>
of my wrath
<05678>
will I give him a charge
<06680> (8762)_,
to take
<07997> (8800)
the spoil
<07998>_,
and to take
<0962> (8800)
the prey
<0957>_,
and to tread them down
<07760> (8800) <04823>
like the mire
<02563>
of the streets
<02351>_.
{tread...: Heb. lay them a treading}
Howbeit he meaneth
<01819> (8762)
not so, neither doth his heart
<03824>
think
<02803> (8799)
so; but [it is] in his heart
<03824>
to destroy
<08045> (8687)
and cut off
<03772> (8687)
nations
<01471>
not a few
<04592>_.
For he saith
<0559> (8799)_,
[Are] not my princes
<08269>
altogether
<03162>
kings
<04428>_?
[Is] not Calno
<03641>
as Carchemish
<03751>_?
[is] not Hamath
<02574>
as Arpad
<0774>_?
[is] not Samaria
<08111>
as Damascus
<01834>_?
As my hand
<03027>
hath found
<04672> (8804)
the kingdoms
<04467>
of the idols
<0457>_,
and whose graven images
<06456>
did excel them of Jerusalem
<03389>
and of Samaria
<08111>_;
Shall I not, as I have done
<06213> (8804)
unto Samaria
<08111>
and her idols
<0457>_,
so do
<06213> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
and her idols
<06091>_?
Wherefore it shall come to pass, [that] when the Lord
<0136>
hath performed
<01214> (8762)
his whole work
<04639>
upon mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>
and on Jerusalem
<03389>_,
I will punish
<06485> (8799)
the fruit
<06529>
of the stout
<01433>
heart
<03824>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and the glory
<08597>
of his high
<07312>
looks
<05869>_.
{punish: Heb. visit upon} {stout...: Heb. greatness of the heart}
For he saith
<0559> (8804)_,
By the strength
<03581>
of my hand
<03027>
I have done
<06213> (8804)
[it], and by my wisdom
<02451>_;
for I am prudent
<0995> (8738)_:
and I have removed
<05493> (8686)
the bounds
<01367>
of the people
<05971>_,
and have robbed
<08154> (8782)
their treasures
<06259> (8675) <06264>_,
and I have put down
<03381> (8686)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
like a valiant
<047> <03524>
[man]: {a valiant...: or, many people}
And my hand
<03027>
hath found
<04672> (8799)
as a nest
<07064>
the riches
<02428>
of the people
<05971>_:
and as one gathereth
<0622> (8800)
eggs
<01000>
[that are] left
<05800> (8803)_,
have I gathered
<0622> (8804)
all the earth
<0776>_;
and there was none that moved
<05074> (8802)
the wing
<03671>_,
or opened
<06475> (8802)
the mouth
<06310>_,
or peeped
<06850> (8772)_.
Shall the axe
<01631>
boast
<06286> (8691)
itself against him that heweth
<02672> (8802)
therewith? [or] shall the saw
<04883>
magnify
<01431> (8691)
itself against him that shaketh
<05130> (8688)
it? as if the rod
<07626>
should shake
<05130> (8687)
[itself] against them that lift it up
<07311> (8688)_,
[or] as if the staff
<04294>
should lift up
<07311> (8687)
[itself, as if it were] no wood
<06086>_.
{the rod...: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if...: or, that which is not wood}
Therefore shall the Lord
<0113>_,
the Lord
<0136> (8676) <03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
send
<07971> (8762)
among his fat ones
<04924>
leanness
<07332>_;
and under his glory
<03519>
he shall kindle
<03344> (8799)
a burning
<03350>
like the burning of a fire
<0784>_.
And the light
<0216>
of Israel
<03478>
shall be for a fire
<0784>_,
and his Holy One
<06918>
for a flame
<03852>_:
and it shall burn
<01197> (8804)
and devour
<0398> (8804)
his thorns
<07898>
and his briers
<08068>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_;
And shall consume
<03615> (8762)
the glory
<03519>
of his forest
<03293>_,
and of his fruitful field
<03759>_,
both soul
<05315>
and body
<01320>_:
and they shall be as when a standardbearer
<05263> (8802)
fainteth
<04549> (8800)_.
{both...: Heb. from the soul, and even to the flesh}
And the rest
<07605>
of the trees
<06086>
of his forest
<03293>
shall be few
<04557>_,
that a child
<05288>
may write
<03789> (8799)
them. {few: Heb. number}
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the remnant
<07605>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and such as are escaped
<06413>
of the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
shall no more again
<03254> (8686)
stay
<08172> (8736)
upon him that smote
<05221> (8688)
them; but shall stay
<08172> (8738)
upon the LORD
<03068>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
in truth
<0571>_.
The remnant
<07605>
shall return
<07725> (8799)_,
[even] the remnant
<07605>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
unto the mighty
<01368>
God
<0410>_.
For though thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
be as the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_,
[yet] a remnant
<07605>
of them shall return
<07725> (8799)_:
the consumption
<03631>
decreed
<02782> (8803)
shall overflow
<07857> (8802)
with righteousness
<06666>_.
{of them: Heb. in, or, among, etc} {with: or, in}
For the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
shall make
<06213> (8802)
a consumption
<03617>_,
even determined
<02782> (8737)_,
in the midst
<07130>
of all the land
<0776>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
O my people
<05971>
that dwellest
<03427> (8802)
in Zion
<06726>_,
be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of the Assyrian
<0804>_:
he shall smite
<05221> (8686)
thee with a rod
<07626>_,
and shall lift up
<05375> (8799)
his staff
<04294>
against thee, after the manner
<01870>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{and shall...: or, but he shall lift up his staff for}
For yet a very
<04213>
little while
<04592>_,
and the indignation
<02195>
shall cease
<03615> (8804)_,
and mine anger
<0639>
in their destruction
<08399>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall stir up
<05782> (8790)
a scourge
<07752>
for him according to the slaughter
<04347>
of Midian
<04080>
at the rock
<06697>
of Oreb
<06159>_:
and [as] his rod
<04294>
[was] upon the sea
<03220>_,
so shall he lift it up
<05375> (8804)
after the manner
<01870>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] his burden
<05448>
shall be taken away
<05493> (8799)
from off thy shoulder
<07926>_,
and his yoke
<05923>
from off thy neck
<06677>_,
and the yoke
<05923>
shall be destroyed
<02254> (8795)
because
<06440>
of the anointing
<08081>_.
{be taken...: Heb. remove}
He is come
<0935> (8804)
to Aiath
<05857>_,
he is passed
<05674> (8804)
to Migron
<04051>_;
at Michmash
<04363>
he hath laid up
<06485> (8686)
his carriages
<03627>_:
They are gone over
<05674> (8804)
the passage
<04569>_:
they have taken up their lodging
<04411>
at Geba
<01387>_;
Ramah
<07414>
is afraid
<02729> (8804)_;
Gibeah
<01390>
of Saul
<07586>
is fled
<05127> (8804)_.
Lift up
<06670> (8761)
thy voice
<06963>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of
<01530>
Gallim
<01554>_:
cause it to be heard
<07181> (8685)
unto Laish
<03919>_,
O poor
<06041>
Anathoth
<06068>_.
{Lift...: Heb. Cry shrill with}
Madmenah
<04088>
is removed
<05074> (8804)_;
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gebim
<01374>
gather themselves to flee
<05756> (8689)_.
As yet shall he remain
<05975> (8800)
at Nob
<05011>
that day
<03117>_:
he shall shake
<05130> (8787)
his hand
<03027>
[against] the mount
<02022>
of the daughter
<01323> (8675) <01004>
of Zion
<06726>_,
the hill
<01389>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Behold, the Lord
<0113>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
shall lop
<05586> (8764)
the bough
<06288>
with terror
<04637>_:
and the high ones
<07311> (8802)
of stature
<06967>
[shall be] hewn down
<01438> (8803)_,
and the haughty
<01364>
shall be humbled
<08213> (8799)_.
And he shall cut down
<05362> (8765)
the thickets
<05442>
of the forest
<03293>
with iron
<01270>_,
and Lebanon
<03844>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by a mighty one
<0117>_.
{by...: or, mightily}
And there shall come forth
<03318> (8804)
a rod
<02415>
out of the stem
<01503>
of Jesse
<03448>_,
and a Branch
<05342>
shall grow
<06509> (8799)
out of his roots
<08328>_:
And the spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall rest
<05117> (8804)
upon him, the spirit
<07307>
of wisdom
<02451>
and understanding
<0998>_,
the spirit
<07307>
of counsel
<06098>
and might
<01369>_,
the spirit
<07307>
of knowledge
<01847>
and of the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
And shall make him of quick understanding
<07306> (8687)
in the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and he shall not judge
<08199> (8799)
after the sight
<04758>
of his eyes
<05869>_,
neither reprove
<03198> (8686)
after the hearing
<04926>
of his ears
<0241>_:
{quick...: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousness
<06664>
shall he judge
<08199> (8804)
the poor
<01800>_,
and reprove
<03198> (8689)
with equity
<04334>
for the meek
<06035>
of the earth
<0776>_:
and he shall smite
<05221> (8689)
the earth
<0776>
with the rod
<07626>
of his mouth
<06310>_,
and with the breath
<07307>
of his lips
<08193>
shall he slay
<04191> (8686)
the wicked
<07563>_.
{reprove: or, argue}
And righteousness
<06664>
shall be the girdle
<0232>
of his loins
<04975>_,
and faithfulness
<0530>
the girdle
<0232>
of his reins
<02504>_.
The wolf
<02061>
also shall dwell
<01481> (8804)
with the lamb
<03532>_,
and the leopard
<05246>
shall lie down
<07257> (8799)
with the kid
<01423>_;
and the calf
<05695>
and the young lion
<03715>
and the fatling
<04806>
together
<03162>_;
and a little
<06996>
child
<05288>
shall lead
<05090> (8802)
them.
And the cow
<06510>
and the bear
<01677>
shall feed
<07462> (8799)_;
their young ones
<03206>
shall lie down
<07257> (8799)
together
<03162>_:
and the lion
<0738>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)
straw
<08401>
like the ox
<01241>_.
And the sucking child
<03243> (8802)
shall play
<08173> (8773)
on the hole
<02352>
of the asp
<06620>_,
and the weaned child
<01580> (8803)
shall put
<01911> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
on the cockatrice
<06848>_'
den
<03975>_.
{cockatrice': or, adder's}
They shall not hurt
<07489> (8686)
nor destroy
<07843> (8686)
in all my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_:
for the earth
<0776>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of the knowledge
<01844>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as the waters
<04325>
cover
<03680> (8764)
the sea
<03220>_.
And in that day
<03117>
there shall be a root
<08328>
of Jesse
<03448>_,
which shall stand
<05975> (8802)
for an ensign
<05251>
of the people
<05971>_;
to it shall the Gentiles
<01471>
seek
<01875> (8799)_:
and his rest
<04496>
shall be glorious
<03519>_.
{glorious: Heb. glory}
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the Lord
<0136>
shall set
<03254> (0)
his hand
<03027>
again
<03254> (8686)
the second time
<08145>
to recover
<07069> (8800)
the remnant
<07605>
of his people
<05971>_,
which shall be left
<07604> (8735)_,
from Assyria
<0804>_,
and from Egypt
<04714>_,
and from Pathros
<06624>_,
and from Cush
<03568>_,
and from Elam
<05867>_,
and from Shinar
<08152>_,
and from Hamath
<02574>_,
and from the islands
<0339>
of the sea
<03220>_.
And he shall set up
<05375> (8804)
an ensign
<05251>
for the nations
<01471>_,
and shall assemble
<0622> (8804)
the outcasts
<01760> (8737)
of Israel
<03478>_,
and gather together
<06908> (8762)
the dispersed
<05310> (8803)
of Judah
<03063>
from the four
<0702>
corners
<03671>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{corners: Heb. wings}
The envy
<07068>
also of Ephraim
<0669>
shall depart
<05493> (8804)_,
and the adversaries
<06887> (8802)
of Judah
<03063>
shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)_:
Ephraim
<0669>
shall not envy
<07065> (8762)
Judah
<03063>_,
and Judah
<03063>
shall not vex
<06887> (8799)
Ephraim
<0669>_.
But they shall fly
<05774> (8804)
upon the shoulders
<03802>
of the Philistines
<06430>
toward the west
<03220>_;
they shall spoil
<0962> (8799)
them
<01121>
of the east
<06924>
together
<03162>_:
they shall lay
<04916>
their hand
<03027>
upon Edom
<0123>
and Moab
<04124>_;
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
shall obey
<04928>
them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay...: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey...: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORD
<03068>
shall utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)
the tongue
<03956>
of the Egyptian
<04714>
sea
<03220>_;
and with his mighty
<05868>
wind
<07307>
shall he shake
<05130> (8689)
his hand
<03027>
over the river
<05104>_,
and shall smite
<05221> (8689)
it in the seven
<07651>
streams
<05158>_,
and make [men] go over
<01869> (8689)
dryshod
<05275>_.
{dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highway
<04546>
for the remnant
<07605>
of his people
<05971>_,
which
<0834>
shall be left
<07604> (8735)_,
from Assyria
<0804>_;
like as it was to Israel
<03478>
in the day
<03117>
that he came up
<05927> (8800)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And in that day
<03117>
thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
I will praise
<03034> (8686)
thee: though thou wast angry
<0599> (8804)
with me, thine anger
<0639>
is turned away
<07725> (8799)_,
and thou comfortedst
<05162> (8762)
me.
Behold, God
<0410>
[is] my salvation
<03444>_;
I will trust
<0982> (8799)_,
and not be afraid
<06342> (8799)_:
for the LORD
<03050>
JEHOVAH
<03068>
[is] my strength
<05797>
and [my] song
<02176>_;
he also is become my salvation
<03444>_.
Therefore with joy
<08342>
shall ye draw
<07579> (8804)
water
<04325>
out of the wells
<04599>
of salvation
<03444>_.
And in that day
<03117>
shall ye say
<0559> (8804)_,
Praise
<03034> (8685)
the LORD
<03068>_,
call
<07121> (8798)
upon his name
<08034>_,
declare
<03045> (8685)
his doings
<05949>
among the people
<05971>_,
make mention
<02142> (8685)
that his name
<08034>
is exalted
<07682> (8737)_.
{call...: or, proclaim}
Sing
<02167> (8761)
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
for he hath done
<06213> (8804)
excellent things
<01348>_:
this [is] known
<03045> (8716) (8675) <03045> (8794)
in all the earth
<0776>_.
Cry out
<06670> (8761)
and shout
<07442> (8798)_,
thou inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Zion
<06726>_:
for great
<01419>
[is] the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
in the midst
<07130>
of thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
The burden
<04853>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
which Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
did see
<02372> (8804)_.
Lift ye up
<05375> (8798)
a banner
<05251>
upon the high
<08192> (8737)
mountain
<02022>_,
exalt
<07311> (8685)
the voice
<06963>
unto them, shake
<05130> (8685)
the hand
<03027>_,
that they may go
<0935> (8799)
into the gates
<06607>
of the nobles
<05081>_.
I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
my sanctified ones
<06942> (8794)_,
I have also called
<07121> (8804)
my mighty ones
<01368>
for mine anger
<0639>_,
[even] them that rejoice
<05947>
in my highness
<01346>_.
The noise
<06963>
of a multitude
<01995>
in the mountains
<02022>_,
like as
<01823>
of a great
<07227>
people
<05971>_;
a tumultuous
<07588>
noise
<06963>
of the kingdoms
<04467>
of nations
<01471>
gathered together
<0622> (8737)_:
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
mustereth
<06485> (8764)
the host
<06635>
of the battle
<04421>_.
{like...: Heb. the likeness of}
They come
<0935> (8802)
from a far
<04801>
country
<0776>_,
from the end
<07097>
of heaven
<08064>_,
[even] the LORD
<03068>_,
and the weapons
<03627>
of his indignation
<02195>_,
to destroy
<02254> (8763)
the whole land
<0776>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)
ye; for the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] at hand
<07138>_;
it shall come
<0935> (8799)
as a destruction
<07701>
from the Almighty
<07706>_.
Therefore shall all hands
<03027>
be faint
<07503> (8799)_,
and every man's
<0582>
heart
<03824>
shall melt
<04549> (8735)_:
{be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraid
<0926> (8738)_:
pangs
<06735>
and sorrows
<02256>
shall take hold
<0270> (8799)
of them; they shall be in pain
<02342> (8799)
as a woman that travaileth
<03205> (8802)_:
they shall be amazed
<08539> (8799)
one
<0376>
at another
<07453>_;
their faces
<06440>
[shall be as] flames
<03851>_.
{be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one...: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_,
cruel
<0394>
both with wrath
<05678>
and fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_,
to lay
<07760> (8800)
the land
<0776>
desolate
<08047>_:
and he shall destroy
<08045> (8686)
the sinners
<02400>
thereof out of it.
For the stars
<03556>
of heaven
<08064>
and the constellations
<03685>
thereof shall not give
<01984> (8686)
their light
<0216>_:
the sun
<08121>
shall be darkened
<02821> (8804)
in his going forth
<03318> (8800)_,
and the moon
<03394>
shall not cause her light
<0216>
to shine
<05050> (8686)_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
the world
<08398>
for [their] evil
<07451>_,
and the wicked
<07563>
for their iniquity
<05771>_;
and I will cause the arrogancy
<01347>
of the proud
<02086>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_,
and will lay low
<08213> (8686)
the haughtiness
<01346>
of the terrible
<06184>_.
I will make a man
<0582>
more precious
<03365> (8686)
than fine gold
<06337>_;
even a man
<0120>
than the golden wedge
<03800>
of Ophir
<0211>_.
Therefore I will shake
<07264> (8686)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and the earth
<0776>
shall remove
<07493> (8799)
out of her place
<04725>_,
in the wrath
<05678>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and in the day
<03117>
of his fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_.
And it shall be as the chased
<05080> (8716)
roe
<06643>_,
and as a sheep
<06629>
that no man taketh up
<06908> (8764)_:
they shall every man
<0376>
turn
<06437> (8799)
to his own people
<05971>_,
and flee
<05127> (8799)
every one
<0376>
into his own land
<0776>_.
Every one that is found
<04672> (8737)
shall be thrust through
<01856> (8735)_;
and every one that is joined
<05595> (8737)
[unto them] shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_.
Their children
<05768>
also shall be dashed to pieces
<07376> (8792)
before their eyes
<05869>_;
their houses
<01004>
shall be spoiled
<08155> (8735)_,
and their wives
<0802>
ravished
<07901> (8735) (8675) <07693> (8735)_.
Behold, I will stir up
<05782> (8688)
the Medes
<04074>
against them, which shall not regard
<02803> (8799)
silver
<03701>_;
and [as for] gold
<02091>_,
they shall not delight
<02654> (8799)
in it.
[Their] bows
<07198>
also shall dash
<07376> (0)
the young men
<05288>
to pieces
<07376> (8762)_;
and they shall have no pity
<07355> (8762)
on the fruit
<06529>
of the womb
<0990>_;
their eye
<05869>
shall not spare
<02347> (8799)
children
<01121>_.
And Babylon
<0894>_,
the glory
<06643>
of kingdoms
<04467>_,
the beauty
<08597>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_'
excellency
<01347>_,
shall be as when God
<0430>
overthrew
<04114>
Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>_.
{as...: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall never
<05331>
be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_,
neither shall it be dwelt
<07931> (8799)
in from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_:
neither shall the Arabian
<06163>
pitch tent
<0167> (8762)
there; neither shall the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
make their fold
<07257> (8686)
there.
But wild beasts of the desert
<06728>
shall lie
<07257> (8804)
there; and their houses
<01004>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of doleful creatures
<0255>_;
and owls
<01323> <03284>
shall dwell
<07931> (8804)
there, and satyrs
<08163>
shall dance
<07540> (8762)
there. {wild...: Heb. Ziim} {doleful...: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islands
<0338>
shall cry
<06030> (8804)
in their desolate houses
<0490>_,
and dragons
<08577>
in [their] pleasant
<06027>
palaces
<01964>_:
and her time
<06256>
[is] near
<07138>
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
and her days
<03117>
shall not be prolonged
<04900> (8735)_.
{the wild...: Heb. Iim} {desolate...: or, palaces}
For the LORD
<03068>
will have mercy
<07355> (8762)
on Jacob
<03290>_,
and will yet choose
<0977> (8804)
Israel
<03478>_,
and set
<03240> (8689)
them in their own land
<0127>_:
and the strangers
<01616>
shall be joined
<03867> (8738)
with them, and they shall cleave
<05596> (8738)
to the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
And the people
<05971>
shall take
<03947> (8804)
them, and bring
<0935> (8689)
them to their place
<04725>_:
and the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
shall possess
<05157> (8694)
them in the land
<0127>
of the LORD
<03068>
for servants
<05650>
and handmaids
<08198>_:
and they shall take them captives
<07617> (8802)_,
whose captives
<07617> (8802)
they were; and they shall rule
<07287> (8804)
over their oppressors
<05065> (8802)_.
{whose...: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the day
<03117>
that the LORD
<03068>
shall give thee rest
<05117> (8687)
from thy sorrow
<06090>_,
and from thy fear
<07267>_,
and from the hard
<07186>
bondage
<05656>
wherein thou wast made to serve
<05647> (8795)_,
That thou shalt take up
<05375> (8804)
this proverb
<04912>
against the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
How hath the oppressor
<05065> (8802)
ceased
<07673> (8804)_!
the golden city
<04062>
ceased
<07673> (8804)_!
{proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden...: or, exactress of gold}
The LORD
<03068>
hath broken
<07665> (8804)
the staff
<04294>
of the wicked
<07563>_,
[and] the sceptre
<07626>
of the rulers
<04910> (8802)_.
He who smote
<05221> (8688)
the people
<05971>
in wrath
<05678>
with a continual
<01115> <05627>
stroke
<04347>_,
he that ruled
<07287> (8802)
the nations
<01471>
in anger
<0639>_,
is persecuted
<04783>_,
[and] none
<01097>
hindereth
<02820> (8804)_.
{a continual...: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earth
<0776>
is at rest
<05117> (8804)_,
[and] is quiet
<08252> (8804)_:
they break forth
<06476> (8804)
into singing
<07440>_.
Yea, the fir trees
<01265>
rejoice
<08055> (8804)
at thee, [and] the cedars
<0730>
of Lebanon
<03844>_,
[saying], Since thou art laid down
<07901> (8804)_,
no feller
<03772> (8802)
is come up
<05927> (8799)
against us.
Hell
<07585>
from beneath is moved
<07264> (8804)
for thee to meet
<07125> (8800)
[thee] at thy coming
<0935> (8800)_:
it stirreth up
<05782> (8790)
the dead
<07496>
for thee, [even] all the chief ones
<06260>
of the earth
<0776>_;
it hath raised up
<06965> (8689)
from their thrones
<03678>
all the kings
<04428>
of the nations
<01471>_.
{Hell: or, The grave} {chief...: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speak
<06030> (8799)
and say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, Art thou also become weak
<02470> (8795)
as we? art thou become like
<04911> (8738)
unto us?
Thy pomp
<01347>
is brought down
<03381> (8717)
to the grave
<07585>_,
[and] the noise
<01998>
of thy viols
<05035>_:
the worm
<07415>
is spread
<03331> (8714)
under thee, and the worms
<08438>
cover
<04374>
thee.
How art thou fallen
<05307> (8804)
from heaven
<08064>_,
O Lucifer
<01966>_,
son
<01121>
of the morning
<07837> (8676) <03213> (8685)_!
[how] art thou cut down
<01438> (8738)
to the ground
<0776>_,
which didst weaken
<02522> (8802)
the nations
<01471>_!
{O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast said
<0559> (8804)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
I will ascend
<05927> (8799)
into heaven
<08064>_,
I will exalt
<07311> (8686)
my throne
<03678>
above
<04605>
the stars
<03556>
of God
<0410>_:
I will sit
<03427> (8799)
also upon the mount
<02022>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
in the sides
<03411>
of the north
<06828>_:
I will ascend
<05927> (8799)
above the heights
<01116>
of the clouds
<05645>_;
I will be like
<01819> (8691)
the most High
<05945>_.
Yet thou shalt be brought down
<03381> (8714)
to hell
<07585>_,
to the sides
<03411>
of the pit
<0953>_.
They that see
<07200> (8802)
thee shall narrowly look
<07688> (8686)
upon thee, [and] consider
<0995> (8709)
thee, [saying, Is] this the man
<0376>
that made the earth
<0776>
to tremble
<07264> (8688)_,
that did shake
<07493> (8688)
kingdoms
<04467>_;
[That] made
<07760> (8804)
the world
<08398>
as a wilderness
<04057>_,
and destroyed
<02040> (8804)
the cities
<05892>
thereof; [that] opened
<06605> (8804)
not the house
<01004>
of his prisoners
<0615>_?
{opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kings
<04428>
of the nations
<01471>_,
[even] all of them, lie
<07901> (8804)
in glory
<03519>_,
every one
<0376>
in his own house
<01004>_.
But thou art cast out
<07993> (8717)
of thy grave
<06913>
like an abominable
<08581> (8737)
branch
<05342>_,
[and as] the raiment
<03830>
of those that are slain
<02026> (8803)_,
thrust through
<02944> (8794)
with a sword
<02719>_,
that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the stones
<068>
of the pit
<0953>_;
as a carcase
<06297>
trodden under feet
<0947> (8716)_.
Thou shalt not be joined
<03161> (8799)
with them in burial
<06900>_,
because thou hast destroyed
<07843> (8765)
thy land
<0776>_,
[and] slain
<02026> (8804)
thy people
<05971>_:
the seed
<02233>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)
shall never
<05769>
be renowned
<07121> (8735)_.
Prepare
<03559> (8685)
slaughter
<04293>
for his children
<01121>
for the iniquity
<05771>
of their fathers
<01>_;
that they do not
<01077>
rise
<06965> (8799)_,
nor possess
<03423> (8804)
the land
<0776>_,
nor fill
<04390> (8804)
the face
<06440>
of the world
<08398>
with cities
<06145> (8676) <05892>_.
For I will rise up
<06965> (8804)
against them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and cut off
<03772> (8689)
from Babylon
<0894>
the name
<08034>_,
and remnant
<07605>_,
and son
<05209>_,
and nephew
<05220>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
I will also make
<07760> (8804)
it a possession
<04180>
for the bittern
<07090>_,
and pools
<098>
of water
<04325>_:
and I will sweep
<02894> (8773)
it with the besom
<04292>
of destruction
<08045> (8687)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Surely as I have thought
<01819> (8765)_,
so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed
<03289> (8804)_,
[so] shall it stand
<06965> (8799)_:
That I will break
<07665> (8800)
the Assyrian
<0804>
in my land
<0776>_,
and upon my mountains
<02022>
tread him under foot
<0947> (8799)_:
then shall his yoke
<05923>
depart
<05493> (8804)
from off them, and his burden
<05448>
depart
<05493> (8799)
from off their shoulders
<07926>_.
This [is] the purpose
<06098>
that is purposed
<03289> (8803)
upon the whole earth
<0776>_:
and this [is] the hand
<03027>
that is stretched out
<05186> (8803)
upon all the nations
<01471>_.
For the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)_,
and who shall disannul
<06565> (8686)
[it]? and his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out
<05186> (8803)_,
and who shall turn it back
<07725> (8686)_?
In the year
<08141>
that king
<04428>
Ahaz
<0271>
died
<04194>
was this burden
<04853>_.
Rejoice
<08055> (8799)
not thou, whole Palestina
<06429>_,
because the rod
<07626>
of him that smote
<05221> (8688)
thee is broken
<07665> (8738)_:
for out of the serpent's
<05175>
root
<08328>
shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
a cockatrice
<06848>_,
and his fruit
<06529>
[shall be] a fiery
<08314> (0)
flying
<05774> (8789)
serpent
<08314>_.
{cockatrice: or, adder}
And the firstborn
<01060>
of the poor
<01800>
shall feed
<07462> (8804)_,
and the needy
<034>
shall lie down
<07257> (8799)
in safety
<0983>_:
and I will kill
<04191> (8689)
thy root
<08328>
with famine
<07458>_,
and he shall slay
<02026> (8799)
thy remnant
<07611>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
O gate
<08179>_;
cry
<02199> (8798)_,
O city
<05892>_;
thou, whole Palestina
<06429>_,
[art] dissolved
<04127> (8738)_:
for there shall come
<0935> (8804)
from the north
<06828>
a smoke
<06227>_,
and none [shall be] alone
<0909> (8802)
in his appointed times
<04151>_.
{none...: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed...: or, assemblies}
What shall [one] then answer
<06030> (8799)
the messengers
<04397>
of the nation
<01471>_?
That the LORD
<03068>
hath founded
<03245> (8765)
Zion
<06726>_,
and the poor
<06041>
of his people
<05971>
shall trust
<02620> (8799)
in it. {trust...: or, betake themselves unto it}
The burden
<04853>
of Moab
<04124>_.
Because in the night
<03915>
Ar
<06144>
of Moab
<04124>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;
because in the night
<03915>
Kir
<07024>
of Moab
<04124>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;
{brought...: or, cut off}
He is gone up
<05927> (8804)
to Bajith
<01006>_,
and to Dibon
<01769>_,
the high places
<01116>_,
to weep
<01065>_:
Moab
<04124>
shall howl
<03213> (8686)
over Nebo
<05015>_,
and over Medeba
<04311>_:
on all their heads
<07218>
[shall be] baldness
<07144>_,
[and] every beard
<02206>
cut off
<01438> (8803)_.
In their streets
<02351>
they shall gird
<02296> (8804)
themselves with sackcloth
<08242>_:
on the tops
<01406>
of their houses, and in their streets
<07339>_,
every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_,
weeping
<01065>
abundantly
<03381> (8802)_.
{weeping...: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping}
And Heshbon
<02809>
shall cry
<02199> (8799)_,
and Elealeh
<0500>_:
their voice
<06963>
shall be heard
<08085> (8738)
[even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_:
therefore the armed soldiers
<02502> (8803)
of Moab
<04124>
shall cry out
<07321> (8686)_;
his life
<05315>
shall be grievous
<03415> (8804)
unto him.
My heart
<03820>
shall cry out
<02199> (8799)
for Moab
<04124>_;
his fugitives
<01280>
[shall flee] unto Zoar
<06820>_,
an heifer
<05697>
of three years old
<07992>_:
for by the mounting up
<04608>
of Luhith
<03872>
with weeping
<01065>
shall they go it up
<05927> (8799)_;
for in the way
<01870>
of Horonaim
<02773>
they shall raise up
<05782> (8787)
a cry
<02201>
of destruction
<07667>_.
{his...: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
For the waters
<04325>
of Nimrim
<05249>
shall be desolate
<04923>_:
for the hay
<02682>
is withered away
<03001> (8804)_,
the grass
<01877>
faileth
<03615> (8804)_,
there is no green thing
<03418>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
Therefore the abundance
<03502>
they have gotten
<06213> (8804)_,
and that which they have laid up
<06486>_,
shall they carry away
<05375> (8799)
to the brook
<05158>
of the willows
<06155>_.
{brook...: or, valley of the Arabians}
For the cry
<02201>
is gone round about
<05362> (8689)
the borders
<01366>
of Moab
<04124>_;
the howling
<03215>
thereof unto Eglaim
<097>_,
and the howling
<03215>
thereof unto Beerelim
<0879>_.
For the waters
<04325>
of Dimon
<01775>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of blood
<01818>_:
for I will bring
<07896> (8799)
more
<03254> (8737)
upon Dimon
<01775>_,
lions
<0738>
upon him that escapeth
<06413>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and upon the remnant
<07611>
of the land
<0127>_.
{more: Heb. additions}
Send
<07971> (8798)
ye the lamb
<03733>
to the ruler
<04910> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
from Sela
<05554>
to the wilderness
<04057>_,
unto the mount
<02022>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_.
{Sela: or, Petra: Heb. A rock}
For it shall be, [that], as a wandering
<05074> (8802)
bird
<05775>
cast out
<07971> (8794)
of the nest
<07064>_,
[so] the daughters
<01323>
of Moab
<04124>
shall be at the fords
<04569>
of Arnon
<0769>_.
{cast...: or, a nest forsaken}
Take
<0935> (8685)
counsel
<06098>_,
execute
<06213> (8798)
judgment
<06415>_;
make
<07896> (8798)
thy shadow
<06738>
as the night
<03915>
in the midst
<08432>
of the noonday
<06672>_;
hide
<05641> (8761)
the outcasts
<05080> (8737)_;
bewray
<01540> (8762)
not him that wandereth
<05074> (8802)_.
{Take: Heb. Bring}
Let mine outcasts
<05080> (8737)
dwell
<01481> (8799)
with thee, Moab
<04124>_;
be
<01933> (8798)
thou a covert
<05643>
to them from the face
<06440>
of the spoiler
<07703> (8802)_:
for the extortioner
<04160> (8801)
is at an end
<0656> (8804)_,
the spoiler
<07701>
ceaseth
<03615> (8804)_,
the oppressors
<07429> (8802)
are consumed
<08552> (8804)
out of the land
<0776>_.
{extortioner: Heb. wringer} {the oppressors: Heb. the treaders down}
And in mercy
<02617>
shall the throne
<03678>
be established
<03559> (8717)_:
and he shall sit
<03427> (8804)
upon it in truth
<0571>
in the tabernacle
<0168>
of David
<01732>_,
judging
<08199> (8802)_,
and seeking
<01875> (8802)
judgment
<04941>_,
and hasting
<04106>
righteousness
<06664>_.
{established: or, prepared}
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
of the pride
<01347>
of Moab
<04124>_;
[he is] very
<03966>
proud
<01341>_:
[even] of his haughtiness
<01346>_,
and his pride
<01347>_,
and his wrath
<05678>_:
[but] his lies
<0907>
[shall] not [be] so.
Therefore shall Moab
<04124>
howl
<03213> (8686)
for Moab
<04124>_,
every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_:
for the foundations
<0808>
of Kirhareseth
<07025>
shall ye mourn
<01897> (8799)_;
surely [they are] stricken
<05218>_.
{mourn: or, mutter}
For the fields
<07709>
of Heshbon
<02809>
languish
<0535> (8797)_,
[and] the vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_:
the lords
<01167>
of the heathen
<01471>
have broken down
<01986> (8804)
the principal plants
<08291>
thereof, they are come
<05060> (8804)
[even] unto Jazer
<03270>_,
they wandered
<08582> (8804)
[through] the wilderness
<04057>_:
her branches
<07976>
are stretched out
<05203> (8738)_,
they are gone over
<05674> (8804)
the sea
<03220>_.
{stretched...: or, plucked up}
Therefore I will bewail
<01058> (8799)
with the weeping
<01065>
of Jazer
<03270>
the vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_:
I will water
<07301> (8762)
thee with my tears
<01832>_,
O Heshbon
<02809>_,
and Elealeh
<0500>_:
for the shouting
<01959>
for thy summer fruits
<07019>
and for thy harvest
<07105>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_.
{the shouting...: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc}
And gladness
<08057>
is taken away
<0622> (8738)_,
and joy
<01524>
out of the plentiful field
<03759>_;
and in the vineyards
<03754>
there shall be no singing
<07442> (8792)_,
neither shall there be shouting
<07321> (8783)_:
the treaders
<01869> (8802)
shall tread out
<01869> (8799)
no wine
<03196>
in [their] presses
<03342>_;
I have made [their vintage] shouting
<01959>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_.
Wherefore my bowels
<04578>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
like an harp
<03658>
for Moab
<04124>_,
and mine inward parts
<07130>
for Kirharesh
<07025>_.
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen
<07200> (8738)
that Moab
<04124>
is weary
<03811> (8738)
on the high place
<01116>_,
that he shall come
<0935> (8804)
to his sanctuary
<04720>
to pray
<06419> (8692)_;
but he shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_.
This [is] the word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning Moab
<04124>
since that time
<0227>_.
But now the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Within three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
as the years
<08141>
of an hireling
<07916>_,
and the glory
<03519>
of Moab
<04124>
shall be contemned
<07034> (8738)_,
with all that great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>_;
and the remnant
<07605>
[shall be] very
<04592>
small
<04213>
[and] feeble
<03808> <03524>_.
{feeble: or, not many}
The burden
<04853>
of Damascus
<01834>_.
Behold, Damascus
<01834>
is taken away
<05493> (8716)
from [being] a city
<05892>_,
and it shall be a ruinous
<04654>
heap
<04596>_.
The cities
<05892>
of Aroer
<06177>
[are] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_:
they shall be for flocks
<05739>_,
which shall lie down
<07257> (8804)_,
and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.
The fortress
<04013>
also shall cease
<07673> (8738)
from Ephraim
<0669>_,
and the kingdom
<04467>
from Damascus
<01834>_,
and the remnant
<07605>
of Syria
<0758>_:
they shall be as the glory
<03519>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
And in that day
<03117>
it shall come to pass, [that] the glory
<03519>
of Jacob
<03290>
shall be made thin
<01809> (8735)_,
and the fatness
<04924>
of his flesh
<01320>
shall wax lean
<07329> (8735)_.
And it shall be as when the harvestman
<07105>
gathereth
<0622> (8800)
the corn
<07054>_,
and reapeth
<07114> (8799)
the ears
<07641>
with his arm
<02220>_;
and it shall be as he that gathereth
<03950> (8764)
ears
<07641>
in the valley
<06010>
of Rephaim
<07497>_.
Yet gleaning grapes
<05955>
shall be left
<07604> (8738)
in it, as the shaking
<05363>
of an olive tree
<02132>_,
two
<08147>
[or] three
<07969>
berries
<01620>
in the top
<07218>
of the uppermost bough
<0534>_,
four
<0702>
[or] five
<02568>
in the outmost fruitful
<06509> (8802)
branches
<05585>
thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
At that day
<03117>
shall a man
<0120>
look
<08159> (8799)
to his Maker
<06213> (8802)_,
and his eyes
<05869>
shall have respect
<07200> (8799)
to the Holy
<06918>
One of Israel
<03478>_.
And he shall not look
<08159> (8799)
to the altars
<04196>_,
the work
<04639>
of his hands
<03027>_,
neither shall respect
<07200> (8799)
[that] which his fingers
<0676>
have made
<06213> (8804)_,
either the groves
<0842>_,
or the images
<02553>_.
{images: or, sun images}
In that day
<03117>
shall his strong
<04581>
cities
<05892>
be as a forsaken
<05800> (8803)
bough
<02793>_,
and an uppermost branch
<0534>_,
which they left
<05800> (8804)
because
<06440>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and there shall be desolation
<08077>_.
Because thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)
the God
<0430>
of thy salvation
<03468>_,
and hast not been mindful
<02142> (8804)
of the rock
<06697>
of thy strength
<04581>_,
therefore shalt thou plant
<05193> (8799)
pleasant
<05282>
plants
<05194>_,
and shalt set
<02232> (8799)
it with strange
<02114> (8801)
slips
<02156>_:
In the day
<03117>
shalt thou make thy plant
<05194>
to grow
<07735> (8770)_,
and in the morning
<01242>
shalt thou make thy seed
<02233>
to flourish
<06524> (8686)_:
[but] the harvest
<07105>
[shall be] a heap
<05067>
in the day
<03117>
of grief
<02470> (8737)
and of desperate
<0605> (8803)
sorrow
<03511>_.
{a heap...: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow}
Woe
<01945>
to the multitude
<01995>
of many
<07227>
people
<05971>_,
[which] make a noise
<01993> (8799)
like the noise
<01993> (8800)
of the seas
<03220>_;
and to the rushing
<07588>
of nations
<03816>_,
[that] make a rushing like the rushing
<07582> (8735)
of mighty
<03524>
waters
<04325>_!
{multitude: or, noise} {mighty: or, many}
The nations
<03816>
shall rush
<07582> (8735)
like the rushing
<07588>
of many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_:
but [God] shall rebuke
<01605> (8804)
them, and they shall flee
<05127> (8804)
far off
<04801>_,
and shall be chased
<07291> (8795)
as the chaff
<04671>
of the mountains
<02022>
before
<06440>
the wind
<07307>_,
and like a rolling thing
<01534>
before
<06440>
the whirlwind
<05492>_.
{a rolling...: or, thistledown}
And behold at eveningtide
<06256> <06153>
trouble
<01091>_;
[and] before the morning
<01242>
he [is] not. This [is] the portion
<02506>
of them that spoil
<08154> (8802)
us, and the lot
<01486>
of them that rob
<0962> (8802)
us.
Woe
<01945>
to the land
<0776>
shadowing
<06767>
with wings
<03671>_,
which [is] beyond
<05676>
the rivers
<05104>
of Ethiopia
<03568>_:
That sendeth
<07971> (8802)
ambassadors
<06735>
by the sea
<03220>_,
even in vessels
<03627>
of bulrushes
<01573>
upon
<06440>
the waters
<04325>_,
[saying], Go
<03212> (8798)_,
ye swift
<07031>
messengers
<04397>_,
to a nation
<01471>
scattered
<04900> (8794)
and peeled
<04178> (8794)_,
to a people
<05971>
terrible
<03372> (8737)
from their beginning hitherto
<01973>_;
a nation
<01471>
meted out
<06978>
and trodden down
<04001>_,
whose land
<0776>
the rivers
<05104>
have spoiled
<0958> (8804)_!
{scattered...: or, outspread and polished} {meted...: or, that meteth out and treadeth down: Heb. of line, line, and treading under foot} {have...: or, despise}
All ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the world
<08398>_,
and dwellers
<07931> (8802)
on the earth
<0776>_,
see
<07200> (8799)
ye, when he lifteth up
<05375> (8800)
an ensign
<05251>
on the mountains
<02022>_;
and when he bloweth
<08628> (8800)
a trumpet
<07782>_,
hear
<08085> (8799)
ye.
For so
<03541>
the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, I will take my rest
<08252> (8799)_,
and I will consider
<05027> (8686)
in my dwelling place
<04349>
like a clear
<06703>
heat
<02527>
upon herbs
<0216>_,
[and] like a cloud
<05645>
of dew
<02919>
in the heat
<02527>
of harvest
<07105>_.
{consider...: or, regard my set dwelling} {upon...: or, after rain}
For afore
<06440>
the harvest
<07105>_,
when the bud
<06525>
is perfect
<08552> (8800)_,
and the sour grape
<01155>
is ripening
<01580> (8802)
in the flower
<05328>_,
he shall both cut off
<03772> (8804)
the sprigs
<02150>
with pruning hooks
<04211>_,
and take away
<05493> (8689)
[and] cut down
<08456> (8689)
the branches
<05189>_.
They shall be left
<05800> (8735)
together
<03162>
unto the fowls
<05861>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
and to the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>_:
and the fowls
<05861>
shall summer
<06972> (8804)
upon them, and all the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>
shall winter
<02778> (8799)
upon them.
In that time
<06256>
shall the present
<07862>
be brought
<02986> (8714)
unto the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
of a people
<05971>
scattered
<04900> (8794)
and peeled
<04178> (8794)_,
and from a people
<05971>
terrible
<03372> (8737)
from their beginning hitherto
<01973>_;
a nation
<01471>
meted out
<06978>
and trodden under foot
<04001>_,
whose land
<0776>
the rivers
<05104>
have spoiled
<0958> (8804)_,
to the place
<04725>
of the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_.
{scattered...: or, outspread and polished}
The burden
<04853>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
rideth
<07392> (8802)
upon a swift
<07031>
cloud
<05645>_,
and shall come
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_:
and the idols
<0457>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall be moved
<05128> (8804)
at his presence
<06440>_,
and the heart
<03824>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall melt
<04549> (8735)
in the midst
<07130>
of it.
And I will set
<05526> (8773)
the Egyptians
<04714>
against the Egyptians
<04714>_:
and they shall fight
<03898> (8738)
every one
<0376>
against his brother
<0251>_,
and every one
<0376>
against his neighbour
<07453>_;
city
<05892>
against city
<05892>_,
[and] kingdom
<04467>
against kingdom
<04467>_.
{set: Heb. mingle}
And the spirit
<07307>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall fail
<01238> (8738)
in the midst
<07130>
thereof; and I will destroy
<01104> (8762)
the counsel
<06098>
thereof: and they shall seek
<01875> (8804)
to the idols
<0457>_,
and to the charmers
<0328>_,
and to them that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,
and to the wizards
<03049>_.
{fail: Heb. be emptied} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
And
<0853>
the Egyptians
<04714>
will I give over
<05534> (8765)
into the hand
<03027>
of a cruel
<07186>
lord
<0113>_;
and a fierce
<05794>
king
<04428>
shall rule
<04910> (8799)
over them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0113>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{give...: or, shut up}
And the waters
<04325>
shall fail
<05405> (8738)
from the sea
<03220>_,
and the river
<05104>
shall be wasted
<02717> (8799)
and dried up
<03001> (8804)_.
And they shall turn
<02186> (0)
the rivers
<05104>
far away
<02186> (8689)_;
[and] the brooks
<02975>
of defence
<04693>
shall be emptied
<01809> (8804)
and dried up
<02717> (8804)_:
the reeds
<07070>
and flags
<05488>
shall wither
<07060> (8804)_.
The paper reeds
<06169>
by the brooks
<02975>_,
by the mouth
<06310>
of the brooks
<02975>_,
and every thing sown
<04218>
by the brooks
<02975>_,
shall wither
<03001> (8799)_,
be driven away
<05086> (8738)_,
and be no [more]. {and be...: Heb. and shall not be}
The fishers
<01771>
also shall mourn
<0578> (8804)_,
and all they that cast
<07993> (8688)
angle
<02443>
into the brooks
<02975>
shall lament
<056> (8804)_,
and they that spread
<06566> (8802)
nets
<04365>
upon
<06440>
the waters
<04325>
shall languish
<0535> (8797)_.
Moreover they that work
<05647> (8802)
in fine
<08305>
flax
<06593>_,
and they that weave
<0707> (8802)
networks
<02355>_,
shall be confounded
<0954> (8804)_.
{networks: or, white works}
And they shall be broken
<01792> (8794)
in the purposes
<08356>
thereof, all that make
<06213> (8802)
sluices
<07938>
[and] ponds
<099>
for fish
<05315>_.
{purposes: Heb. foundations} {for fish: Heb. of living things}
Surely the princes
<08269>
of Zoan
<06814>
[are] fools
<0191>_,
the counsel
<06098>
of the wise
<02450>
counsellors
<03289> (8802)
of Pharaoh
<06547>
is become brutish
<01197> (8737)_:
how say
<0559> (8799)
ye unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
I [am] the son
<01121>
of the wise
<02450>_,
the son
<01121>
of ancient
<06924>
kings
<04428>_?
Where
<0335>
[are] they? where
<0645>
[are] thy wise
<02450>
[men]? and let them tell
<05046> (8686)
thee now, and let them know
<03045> (8799)
what the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)
upon Egypt
<04714>_.
The princes
<08269>
of Zoan
<06814>
are become fools
<02973> (8738)_,
the princes
<08269>
of Noph
<05297>
are deceived
<05377> (8738)_;
they have also seduced
<08582> (8689)
Egypt
<04714>_,
[even they that are] the stay
<06438>
of the tribes
<07626>
thereof. {they that...: or, governors: Heb. corners}
The LORD
<03068>
hath mingled
<04537> (8804)
a perverse
<05773>
spirit
<07307>
in the midst
<07130>
thereof: and they have caused Egypt
<04714>
to err
<08582> (8689)
in every work
<04639>
thereof, as a drunken
<07910>
[man] staggereth
<08582> (8736)
in his vomit
<06892>_.
{a perverse...: Heb. a spirit of perversities}
Neither shall there be [any] work
<04639>
for Egypt
<04714>_,
which the head
<07218>
or tail
<02180>_,
branch
<03712>
or rush
<0100>_,
may do
<06213> (8799)_.
In that day
<03117>
shall Egypt
<04714>
be like unto women
<0802>_:
and it shall be afraid
<02729> (8804)
and fear
<06342> (8804)
because
<06440>
of the shaking
<08573>
of the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which he shaketh
<05130> (8688)
over it.
And the land
<0127>
of Judah
<03063>
shall be a terror
<02283>
unto Egypt
<04714>_,
every one that maketh mention
<02142> (8686)
thereof shall be afraid
<06342> (8799)
in himself, because
<06440>
of the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which he hath determined
<03289> (8802)
against it.
In that day
<03117>
shall five
<02568>
cities
<05892>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
speak
<01696> (8764)
the language
<08193>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and swear
<07650> (8737)
to the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
one
<0259>
shall be called
<0559> (8735)_,
The city
<05892>
of destruction
<02041>_.
{the language: Heb. the lip} {of destruction: or, of Heres, or, of the sun}
In that day
<03117>
shall there be an altar
<04196>
to the LORD
<03068>
in the midst
<08432>
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and a pillar
<04676>
at
<0681>
the border
<01366>
thereof to the LORD
<03068>_.
And it shall be for a sign
<0226>
and for a witness
<05707>
unto the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
for they shall cry
<06817> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
because
<06440>
of the oppressors
<03905> (8801)_,
and he shall send
<07971> (8799)
them a saviour
<03467> (8688)_,
and a great one
<07227>_,
and he shall deliver
<05337> (8689)
them.
And the LORD
<03068>
shall be known
<03045> (8738)
to Egypt
<04714>_,
and the Egyptians
<04714>
shall know
<03045> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
in that day
<03117>_,
and shall do
<05647> (8804)
sacrifice
<02077>
and oblation
<04503>_;
yea, they shall vow
<05087> (8804)
a vow
<05088>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and perform
<07999> (8765)
[it].
And the LORD
<03068>
shall smite
<05062> (8804)
Egypt
<04714>_:
he shall smite
<05062> (8800)
and heal
<07495> (8800)
[it]: and they shall return
<07725> (8804)
[even] to the LORD
<03068>_,
and he shall be intreated
<06279> (8738)
of them, and shall heal
<07495> (8804)
them.
In that day
<03117>
shall there be a highway
<04546>
out of Egypt
<04714>
to Assyria
<0804>_,
and the Assyrian
<0804>
shall come
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and the Egyptian
<04714>
into Assyria
<0804>_,
and the Egyptians
<04714>
shall serve
<05647> (8804)
with the Assyrians
<0804>_.
In that day
<03117>
shall Israel
<03478>
be the third
<07992>
with Egypt
<04714>
and with Assyria
<0804>_,
[even] a blessing
<01293>
in the midst
<07130>
of the land
<0776>_:
Whom the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall bless
<01288> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] Egypt
<04714>
my people
<05971>_,
and Assyria
<0804>
the work
<04639>
of my hands
<03027>_,
and Israel
<03478>
mine inheritance
<05159>_.
In the year
<08141>
that Tartan
<08661>
came
<0935> (8800)
unto Ashdod
<0795>_,
(when Sargon
<05623>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
sent
<07971> (8800)
him,) and fought
<03898> (8735)
against Ashdod
<0795>_,
and took
<03920> (8799)
it;
At the same time
<06256>
spake
<01696> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>
by
<03027>
Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and loose
<06605> (8765)
the sackcloth
<08242>
from off thy loins
<04975>_,
and put off
<02502> (8799)
thy shoe
<05275>
from thy foot
<07272>_.
And he did so
<06213> (8799)_,
walking
<01980> (8800)
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Like as my servant
<05650>
Isaiah
<03470>
hath walked
<01980> (8804)
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>
three
<07969>
years
<08141>
[for] a sign
<0226>
and wonder
<04159>
upon Egypt
<04714>
and upon Ethiopia
<03568>_;
So shall the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
lead away
<05090> (8799)
the Egyptians
<04714>
prisoners
<07628>_,
and the Ethiopians
<03568>
captives
<01546>_,
young
<05288>
and old
<02205>_,
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>_,
even with [their] buttocks
<08357>
uncovered
<02834> (8803)_,
to the shame
<06172>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{the Egyptians...: Heb. the captivity of Egypt} {shame: Heb. nakedness}
And they shall be afraid
<02865> (8804)
and ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Ethiopia
<03568>
their expectation
<04007>_,
and of Egypt
<04714>
their glory
<08597>_.
And the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of this isle
<0339>
shall say
<0559> (8804)
in that day
<03117>_,
Behold, such
<03541>
[is] our expectation
<04007>_,
whither we flee
<05127> (8804)
for help
<05833>
to be delivered
<05337> (8736)
from
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_:
and how shall we escape
<04422> (8735)_?
{isle: or, country}
The burden
<04853>
of the desert
<04057>
of the sea
<03220>_.
As whirlwinds
<05492>
in the south
<05045>
pass
<02498> (8800)
through; [so] it cometh
<0935> (8802)
from the desert
<04057>_,
from a terrible
<03372> (8737)
land
<0776>_.
A grievous
<07186>
vision
<02380>
is declared
<05046> (8717)
unto me; the treacherous dealer
<0898> (8802)
dealeth treacherously
<0898> (8802)_,
and the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
spoileth
<07703> (8802)_.
Go up
<05927> (8798)_,
O Elam
<05867>_:
besiege
<06696> (8798)_,
O Media
<04074>_;
all the sighing
<0585>
thereof have I made to cease
<07673> (8689)_.
{grievous: Heb. hard}
Therefore are my loins
<04975>
filled
<04390> (8804)
with pain
<02479>_:
pangs
<06735>
have taken hold
<0270> (8804)
upon me, as the pangs
<06735>
of a woman that travaileth
<03205> (8802)_:
I was bowed down
<05753> (8738)
at the hearing
<08085> (8800)
[of it]; I was dismayed
<0926> (8738)
at the seeing
<07200> (8800)
[of it].
My heart
<03824>
panted
<08582> (8804)_,
fearfulness
<06427>
affrighted
<01204> (8765)
me: the night
<05399>
of my pleasure
<02837>
hath he turned
<07760> (8804)
into fear
<02731>
unto me. {heart...: or, mind wandered} {turned: Heb. put}
Prepare
<06186> (8800)
the table
<07979>_,
watch
<06822> (8800)
in the watchtower
<06844>_,
eat
<0398> (8800)_,
drink
<08354> (8800)_:
arise
<06965> (8798)_,
ye princes
<08269>_,
[and] anoint
<04886> (8798)
the shield
<04043>_.
For thus hath the Lord
<0136>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
set
<05975> (8685)
a watchman
<06822> (8764)_,
let him declare
<05046> (8686)
what he seeth
<07200> (8799)_.
And he saw
<07200> (8804)
a chariot
<07393>
[with] a couple
<06776>
of horsemen
<06571>_,
a chariot
<07393>
of asses
<02543>_,
[and] a chariot
<07393>
of camels
<01581>_;
and he hearkened
<07181> (8689)
diligently
<07182>
with much
<07227>
heed
<07182>_:
And he cried
<07121> (8799)_,
A lion
<0738>_:
My lord
<0136>_,
I stand
<05975> (8802)
continually
<08548>
upon the watchtower
<04707>
in the daytime
<03119>_,
and I am set
<05324> (8737)
in my ward
<04931>
whole nights
<03915>_:
{he...: or, cried as a lion} {whole...: or, every night}
And, behold, here cometh
<0935> (8802)
a chariot
<07393>
of men
<0376>_,
[with] a couple
<06776>
of horsemen
<06571>_.
And he answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Babylon
<0894>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;
and all the graven images
<06456>
of her gods
<0430>
he hath broken
<07665> (8765)
unto the ground
<0776>_.
O my threshing
<04098>_,
and the corn
<01121>
of my floor
<01637>_:
that which I have heard
<08085> (8804)
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
have I declared
<05046> (8689)
unto you. {corn: Heb. son}
The burden
<04853>
of Dumah
<01746>_.
He calleth
<07121> (8802)
to me out of Seir
<08165>_,
Watchman
<08104> (8802)_,
what of the night
<03915>_?
Watchman
<08104> (8802)_,
what of the night
<03915>_?
The watchman
<08104> (8802)
said
<0559> (8804)_,
The morning
<01242>
cometh
<0857> (8804)_,
and also the night
<03915>_:
if ye will enquire
<01158> (8799)_,
enquire
<01158> (8798)
ye: return
<07725> (8798)_,
come
<0857> (8798)_.
The burden
<04853>
upon Arabia
<06152>_.
In the forest
<03293>
in Arabia
<06152>
shall ye lodge
<03885> (8799)_,
O ye travelling companies
<0736>
of Dedanim
<01720>_.
The inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
of Tema
<08485>
brought
<0857> (8689)
water
<04325>
to him
<07125> (8800)
that was thirsty
<06771>_,
they prevented
<06923> (8765)
with their bread
<03899>
him that fled
<05074> (8802)_.
{brought: or, bring ye}
For they fled
<05074> (8804)
from
<06440>
the swords
<02719>_,
from
<06440>
the drawn
<05203> (8803)
sword
<02719>_,
and from
<06440>
the bent
<01869> (8803)
bow
<07198>_,
and from
<06440>
the grievousness
<03514>
of war
<04421>_.
{from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc}
For thus hath the Lord
<0136>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Within a year
<08141>_,
according to the years
<08141>
of an hireling
<07916>_,
and all the glory
<03519>
of Kedar
<06938>
shall fail
<03615> (8804)_:
And the residue
<07605>
of the number
<04557>
of archers
<07198>_,
the mighty men
<01368>
of the children
<01121>
of Kedar
<06938>_,
shall be diminished
<04591> (8799)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it]. {archers: Heb. bows}
The burden
<04853>
of the valley
<01516>
of vision
<02384>_.
What aileth thee now
<0645>_,
that thou art wholly gone up
<05927> (8804)
to the housetops
<01406>_?
Thou that art full
<04392>
of stirs
<08663>_,
a tumultuous
<01993> (8802)
city
<05892>_,
a joyous
<05947>
city
<07151>_:
thy slain
<02491>
[men are] not slain
<02491>
with the sword
<02719>_,
nor dead
<04191> (8801)
in battle
<04421>_.
All thy rulers
<07101>
are fled
<05074> (8804)
together
<03162>_,
they are bound
<0631> (8795)
by the archers
<07198>_:
all that are found
<04672> (8737)
in thee are bound
<0631> (8795)
together
<03162>_,
[which] have fled
<01272> (8804)
from far
<07350>_.
{by...: Heb. of the bow}
Therefore said
<0559> (8804)
I, Look away
<08159> (8798)
from me; I will weep
<01065>
bitterly
<04843> (8762)_,
labour
<0213> (8686)
not to comfort
<05162> (8763)
me, because of the spoiling
<07701>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>_.
{weep...: Heb. be bitter in weeping}
For [it is] a day
<03117>
of trouble
<04103>_,
and of treading down
<04001>_,
and of perplexity
<03998>
by the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
in the valley
<01516>
of vision
<02384>_,
breaking
<06979> (8772)
down the walls
<07023>_,
and of crying
<07771>
to the mountains
<02022>_.
And Elam
<05867>
bare
<05375> (8804)
the quiver
<0827>
with chariots
<07393>
of men
<0120>
[and] horsemen
<06571>_,
and Kir
<07024>
uncovered
<06168> (8765)
the shield
<04043>_.
{uncovered: Heb. made naked}
And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest
<04005>
valleys
<06010>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of chariots
<07393>_,
and the horsemen
<06571>
shall set
<07896> (8804)
themselves in array
<07896> (8800)
at the gate
<08179>_.
{thy...: Heb. the choice of thy valleys} {at: or, toward}
And he discovered
<01540> (8762)
the covering
<04539>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and thou didst look
<05027> (8686)
in that day
<03117>
to the armour
<05402>
of the house
<01004>
of the forest
<03293>_.
Ye have seen
<07200> (8804)
also the breaches
<01233>
of the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
that they are many
<07231> (8804)_:
and ye gathered together
<06908> (8762)
the waters
<04325>
of the lower
<08481>
pool
<01295>_.
And ye have numbered
<05608> (8804)
the houses
<01004>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and the houses
<01004>
have ye broken down
<05422> (8799)
to fortify
<01219> (8763)
the wall
<02346>_.
Ye made
<06213> (8804)
also a ditch
<04724>
between the two walls
<02346>
for the water
<04325>
of the old
<03465>
pool
<01295>_:
but ye have not looked
<05027> (8689)
unto the maker
<06213> (8802)
thereof, neither had respect
<07200> (8804)
unto him that fashioned
<03335> (8802)
it long ago
<07350>_.
And in that day
<03117>
did the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
call
<07121> (8799)
to weeping
<01065>_,
and to mourning
<04553>_,
and to baldness
<07144>_,
and to girding
<02296> (8800)
with sackcloth
<08242>_:
And behold joy
<08342>
and gladness
<08057>_,
slaying
<02026> (8800)
oxen
<01241>_,
and killing
<07819> (8800)
sheep
<06629>_,
eating
<0398> (8800)
flesh
<01320>_,
and drinking
<08354> (8800)
wine
<03196>_:
let us eat
<0398> (8800)
and drink
<08354> (8800)_;
for to morrow
<04279>
we shall die
<04191> (8799)_.
And it was revealed
<01540> (8738)
in mine ears
<0241>
by the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Surely this iniquity
<05771>
shall not be purged
<03722> (8792)
from you till ye die
<04191> (8799)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
get
<0935> (8798)
thee unto this treasurer
<05532> (8802)_,
[even] unto Shebna
<07644>_,
which [is] over the house
<01004>_,
[and say],
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out
<02672> (8804)
a sepulchre
<06913>
here
<06311>_,
[as] he that heweth him out
<02672> (8802)
a sepulchre
<06913>
on high
<04791>_,
[and] that graveth
<02710> (8802)
an habitation
<04908>
for himself in a rock
<05553>_?
{as...: or, O he}
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
will carry thee away
<02904> (8772)
with a mighty
<01397>
captivity
<02925>_,
and will surely
<05844> (8800)
cover
<05844> (8802)
thee. {will carry...: or, who covered thee with an excellent covering, and clothed thee gorgeously, (next verse) shall surely, etc} {a mighty...: Heb. the captivity of a man}
He will surely
<06801> (8800)
violently turn
<06801> (8799)
and toss
<06802>
thee [like] a ball
<01754>
into a large
<07342> <03027>
country
<0776>_:
there shalt thou die
<04191> (8799)_,
and there the chariots
<04818>
of thy glory
<03519>
[shall be] the shame
<07036>
of thy lord's
<0113>
house
<01004>_.
{large: Heb. large of spaces}
And I will drive
<01920> (8804)
thee from thy station
<04673>_,
and from thy state
<04612>
shall he pull thee down
<02040> (8799)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
that I will call
<07121> (8804)
my servant
<05650>
Eliakim
<0471>
the son
<01121>
of Hilkiah
<02518>_:
And I will clothe
<03847> (8689)
him with thy robe
<03801>_,
and strengthen
<02388> (8762)
him with thy girdle
<073>_,
and I will commit
<05414> (8799)
thy government
<04475>
into his hand
<03027>_:
and he shall be a father
<01>
to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and to the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_.
And the key
<04668>
of the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>
will I lay
<05414> (8804)
upon his shoulder
<07926>_;
so he shall open
<06605> (8804)_,
and none shall shut
<05462> (8802)_;
and he shall shut
<05462> (8804)_,
and none shall open
<06605> (8802)_.
And I will fasten
<08628> (8804)
him [as] a nail
<03489>
in a sure
<0539> (8737)
place
<04725>_;
and he shall be for a glorious
<03519>
throne
<03678>
to his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
And they shall hang
<08518> (8804)
upon him all the glory
<03519>
of his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
the offspring
<06631>
and the issue
<06849>_,
all vessels
<03627>
of small
<06996>
quantity, from the vessels
<03627>
of cups
<0101>_,
even to all the vessels
<03627>
of flagons
<05035>_.
{vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols}
In that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
shall the nail
<03489>
that is fastened
<08628> (8803)
in the sure
<0539> (8737)
place
<04725>
be removed
<04185> (8799)_,
and be cut down
<01438> (8738)_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)_;
and the burden
<04853>
that [was] upon it shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
The burden
<04853>
of Tyre
<06865>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>_;
for it is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
so that there is no house
<01004>_,
no entering in
<0935> (8800)_:
from the land
<0776>
of Chittim
<03794>
it is revealed
<01540> (8738)
to them.
Be still
<01826> (8798)_,
ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the isle
<0339>_;
thou whom the merchants
<05503> (8802)
of Zidon
<06721>_,
that pass over
<05674> (8802)
the sea
<03220>_,
have replenished
<04390> (8765)_.
{still: Heb. silent}
And by great
<07227>
waters
<04325>
the seed
<02233>
of Sihor
<07883>_,
the harvest
<07105>
of the river
<02975>_,
[is] her revenue
<08393>_;
and she is a mart
<05505>
of nations
<01471>_.
Be thou ashamed
<0954> (8798)_,
O Zidon
<06721>_:
for the sea
<03220>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)_,
[even] the strength
<04581>
of the sea
<03220>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I travail
<02342> (8804)
not, nor bring forth children
<03205> (8804)_,
neither do I nourish up
<01431> (8765)
young men
<0970>_,
[nor] bring up
<07311> (8790)
virgins
<01330>_.
As at the report
<08088>
concerning Egypt
<04714>_,
[so] shall they be sorely pained
<02342> (8799)
at the report
<08088>
of Tyre
<06865>_.
Pass ye over
<05674> (8798)
to Tarshish
<08659>_;
howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the isle
<0339>_.
[Is] this your joyous
<05947>
[city], whose antiquity
<06927>
[is] of ancient
<06924>
days
<03117>_?
her own feet
<07272>
shall carry
<02986> (8686)
her afar off
<07350>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_.
{afar...: Heb. from afar off}
Who hath taken this counsel
<03289> (8804)
against Tyre
<06865>_,
the crowning
<05849> (8688)
[city], whose merchants
<05503> (8802)
[are] princes
<08269>_,
whose traffickers
<03667>
[are] the honourable
<03513> (8737)
of the earth
<0776>_?
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)
it, to stain
<02490> (8763)
the pride
<01347>
of all glory
<06643>_,
[and] to bring into contempt
<07043> (8687)
all the honourable
<03513> (8737)
of the earth
<0776>_.
{to stain: Heb. to pollute}
Pass
<05674> (8798)
through thy land
<0776>
as a river
<02975>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of Tarshish
<08659>_:
[there is] no more strength
<04206>_.
{strength: Heb. girdle}
He stretched out
<05186> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
over the sea
<03220>_,
he shook
<07264> (8689)
the kingdoms
<04467>_:
the LORD
<03068>
hath given a commandment
<06680> (8765)
against the merchant
<03667>
[city], to destroy
<08045> (8687)
the strong
<04581>
holds
<04581>
thereof. {against...: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb. Canaan} {strong...: or, strengths}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)
rejoice
<05937> (8800)_,
O thou oppressed
<06231> (8794)
virgin
<01330>_,
daughter
<01323>
of Zidon
<06721>_:
arise
<06965> (8798)_,
pass over
<05674> (8798)
to Chittim
<03794>_;
there also shalt thou have no rest
<05117> (8799)_.
Behold the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_;
this people
<05971>
was not, [till] the Assyrian
<0804>
founded
<03245> (8804)
it for them that dwell in the wilderness
<06728>_:
they set up
<06965> (8689)
the towers
<0971>
thereof, they raised up
<06209> (8782)
the palaces
<0759>
thereof; [and] he brought
<07760> (8804)
it to ruin
<04654>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>_:
for your strength
<04581>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
that Tyre
<06865>
shall be forgotten
<07911> (8737)
seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>_,
according to the days
<03117>
of one
<0259>
king
<04428>_:
after the end
<07093>
of seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>
shall Tyre
<06865>
sing
<07892>
as an harlot
<02181> (8802)_.
{shall Tyre...: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}
Take
<03947> (8798)
an harp
<03658>_,
go about
<05437> (8798)
the city
<05892>_,
thou harlot
<02181> (8802)
that hast been forgotten
<07911> (8737)_;
make sweet
<03190> (8685)
melody
<05059> (8763)_,
sing many
<07235> (8685)
songs
<07892>_,
that thou mayest be remembered
<02142> (8735)_.
And it shall come to pass after the end
<07093>
of seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
will visit
<06485> (8799)
Tyre
<06865>_,
and she shall turn
<07725> (8804)
to her hire
<0868>_,
and shall commit fornication
<02181> (8804)
with all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the world
<0776>
upon the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_.
And her merchandise
<05504>
and her hire
<0868>
shall be holiness
<06944>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
it shall not be treasured
<0686> (8735)
nor laid up
<02630> (8735)_;
for her merchandise
<05504>
shall be for them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
to eat
<0398> (8800)
sufficiently
<07654>_,
and for durable
<06266>
clothing
<04374>_.
{durable: Heb. old}
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
maketh the earth
<0776>
empty
<01238> (8802)_,
and maketh it waste
<01110> (8802)_,
and turneth
<05753> (8765)
it upside down
<06440>_,
and scattereth abroad
<06327> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof. {turneth...: Heb. perverteth the face thereof}
And it shall be, as with the people
<05971>_,
so with the priest
<03548>_;
as with the servant
<05650>_,
so with his master
<0113>_;
as with the maid
<08198>_,
so with her mistress
<01404>_;
as with the buyer
<07069> (8802)_,
so with the seller
<04376> (8802)_;
as with the lender
<03867> (8688)_,
so with the borrower
<03867> (8801)_;
as with the taker of usury
<05383> (8802)_,
so
<0834>
with the giver of usury
<05378> (8801)
to him. {priest: or, prince}
The land
<0776>
shall be utterly
<01238> (8736)
emptied
<01238> (8735)_,
and utterly
<0962> (8736)
spoiled
<0962> (8735)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
this word
<01697>_.
The earth
<0776>
mourneth
<056> (8804)
[and] fadeth away
<05034> (8804)_,
the world
<08398>
languisheth
<0535> (8797)
[and] fadeth away
<05034> (8804)_,
the haughty
<04791>
people
<05971>
of the earth
<0776>
do languish
<0535> (8797)_.
{the haughty...: Heb. the height of the people}
The earth
<0776>
also is defiled
<02610> (8804)
under the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof; because they have transgressed
<05674> (8804)
the laws
<08451>_,
changed
<02498> (8804)
the ordinance
<02706>_,
broken
<06565> (8689)
the everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>_.
Therefore hath the curse
<0423>
devoured
<0398> (8804)
the earth
<0776>_,
and they that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein are desolate
<0816> (8799)_:
therefore the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>
are burned
<02787> (8804)_,
and few
<04213>
men
<0582>
left
<07604> (8738)_.
The new wine
<08492>
mourneth
<056> (8804)_,
the vine
<01612>
languisheth
<0535> (8797)_,
all the merryhearted
<08056> <03820>
do sigh
<0584> (8738)_.
The mirth
<04885>
of tabrets
<08596>
ceaseth
<07673> (8804)_,
the noise
<07588>
of them that rejoice
<05947>
endeth
<02308> (8804)_,
the joy
<04885>
of the harp
<03658>
ceaseth
<07673> (8804)_.
They shall not drink
<08354> (8799)
wine
<03196>
with a song
<07892>_;
strong drink
<07941>
shall be bitter
<04843> (8799)
to them that drink
<08354> (8802)
it.
The city
<07151>
of confusion
<08414>
is broken down
<07665> (8738)_:
every house
<01004>
is shut up
<05462> (8795)_,
that no man may come in
<0935> (8800)_.
[There is] a crying
<06682>
for wine
<03196>
in the streets
<02351>_;
all joy
<08057>
is darkened
<06150> (8804)_,
the mirth
<04885>
of the land
<0776>
is gone
<01540> (8804)_.
In the city
<05892>
is left
<07604> (8738)
desolation
<08047>_,
and the gate
<08179>
is smitten
<03807> (8714)
with destruction
<07591>_.
When thus it shall be in the midst
<07130>
of the land
<0776>
among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_,
[there shall be] as the shaking
<05363>
of an olive tree
<02132>_,
[and] as the gleaning grapes
<05955>
when the vintage
<01210>
is done
<03615> (8804)_.
They shall lift up
<05375> (8799)
their voice
<06963>_,
they shall sing
<07442> (8799)
for the majesty
<01347>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
they shall cry aloud
<06670> (8804)
from the sea
<03220>_.
Wherefore glorify
<03513> (8761)
ye the LORD
<03068>
in the fires
<0217>_,
[even] the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
in the isles
<0339>
of the sea
<03220>_.
{fires: or, valleys}
From the uttermost part
<03671>
of the earth
<0776>
have we heard
<08085> (8804)
songs
<02158>_,
[even] glory
<06643>
to the righteous
<06662>_.
But I said
<0559> (8799)_,
My leanness
<07334>_,
my leanness
<07334>_,
woe
<0188>
unto me! the treacherous dealers
<0898> (8802)
have dealt treacherously
<0898> (8804)_;
yea, the treacherous dealers
<0898> (8802)
have dealt very
<0899>
treacherously
<0898> (8804)_.
{uttermost...: Heb. wing} {My leanness: Heb. Leanness to me, or, My secret to me}
Fear
<06343>_,
and the pit
<06354>_,
and the snare
<06341>_,
[are] upon thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>_.
And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth
<05127> (8801)
from the noise
<06963>
of the fear
<06343>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
into the pit
<06354>_;
and he that cometh up
<05927> (8802)
out of the midst
<08432>
of the pit
<06354>
shall be taken
<03920> (8735)
in the snare
<06341>_:
for the windows
<0699>
from on high
<04791>
are open
<06605> (8738)_,
and the foundations
<04146>
of the earth
<0776>
do shake
<07493> (8799)_.
The earth
<0776>
is utterly
<07489> (8800)
broken down
<07489> (8712)_,
the earth
<0776>
is clean
<06565> (8800)
dissolved
<06565> (8707)_,
the earth
<0776>
is moved
<04131> (8694)
exceedingly
<04131> (8800)_.
The earth
<0776>
shall reel
<05128> (8799)
to and fro
<05128> (8800)
like a drunkard
<07910>_,
and shall be removed
<05110> (8712)
like a cottage
<04412>_;
and the transgression
<06588>
thereof shall be heavy
<03513> (8804)
upon it; and it shall fall
<05307> (8804)_,
and not rise
<06965> (8800)
again
<03254> (8686)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the LORD
<03068>
shall punish
<06485> (8799)
the host
<06635>
of the high ones
<04791>
[that are] on high
<04791>_,
and the kings
<04428>
of the earth
<0127>
upon the earth
<0127>_.
{punish: Heb. visit upon}
And they shall be gathered together
<0622> (8795)_,
[as] prisoners
<0616>
are gathered
<0626>
in the pit
<0953>_,
and shall be shut up
<05462> (8795)
in the prison
<04525>_,
and after many
<07230>
days
<03117>
shall they be visited
<06485> (8735)_.
{as prisoners...: Heb. with the gathering of prisoners} {pit: or, dungeon} {visited: or, found wanting}
Then the moon
<03842>
shall be confounded
<02659> (8804)_,
and the sun
<02535>
ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,
when the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall reign
<04427> (8804)
in mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_,
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and before his ancients
<02205>
gloriously
<03519>_.
{before...: or, there shall be glory before his ancients}
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou [art] my God
<0430>_;
I will exalt
<07311> (8787)
thee, I will praise
<03034> (8686)
thy name
<08034>_;
for thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
wonderful
<06382>
[things; thy] counsels
<06098>
of old
<07350>
[are] faithfulness
<0530>
[and] truth
<0544>_.
For thou hast made
<07760> (8804)
of a city
<05892>
an heap
<01530>_;
[of] a defenced
<01219> (8803)
city
<07151>
a ruin
<04654>_:
a palace
<0759>
of strangers
<02114> (8801)
to be no city
<05892>_;
it shall never
<05769>
be built
<01129> (8735)_.
Therefore shall the strong
<05794>
people
<05971>
glorify
<03513> (8762)
thee, the city
<07151>
of the terrible
<06184>
nations
<01471>
shall fear
<03372> (8799)
thee.
For thou hast been a strength
<04581>
to the poor
<01800>_,
a strength
<04581>
to the needy
<034>
in his distress
<06862>_,
a refuge
<04268>
from the storm
<02230>_,
a shadow
<06738>
from the heat
<02721>_,
when the blast
<07307>
of the terrible ones
<06184>
[is] as a storm
<02230>
[against] the wall
<07023>_.
Thou shalt bring down
<03665> (8686)
the noise
<07588>
of strangers
<02114> (8801)_,
as the heat
<02721>
in a dry place
<06724>_;
[even] the heat
<02721>
with the shadow
<06738>
of a cloud
<05645>_:
the branch
<02159>
of the terrible ones
<06184>
shall be brought low
<06030> (8799)_.
And in this mountain
<02022>
shall the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
make
<06213> (8804)
unto all people
<05971>
a feast
<04960>
of fat things
<08081>_,
a feast
<04960>
of wines on the lees
<08105>_,
of fat things
<08081>
full of marrow
<04229> (8794)_,
of wines on the lees
<08105>
well refined
<02212> (8794)_.
And he will destroy
<01104> (8765)
in this mountain
<02022>
the face
<06440>
of the covering
<03875>
cast over
<03874> (8802)
all people
<05971>_,
and the vail
<04541>
that is spread
<05259> (8803)
over all nations
<01471>_.
{destroy: Heb. swallow up} {cast: Heb. covered}
He will swallow up
<01104> (8765)
death
<04194>
in victory
<05331>_;
and the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
will wipe away
<04229> (8804)
tears
<01832>
from off all faces
<06440>_;
and the rebuke
<02781>
of his people
<05971>
shall he take away
<05493> (8686)
from off all the earth
<0776>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
And it shall be said
<0559> (8804)
in that day
<03117>_,
Lo, this [is] our God
<0430>_;
we have waited
<06960> (8765)
for him, and he will save
<03467> (8686)
us: this [is] the LORD
<03068>_;
we have waited
<06960> (8765)
for him, we will be glad
<01523> (8799)
and rejoice
<08055> (8799)
in his salvation
<03444>_.
For in this mountain
<02022>
shall the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
rest
<05117> (8799)_,
and Moab
<04124>
shall be trodden down
<01758> (8736)
under him, even as straw
<04963>
is trodden down
<01758> (8738)
for the dunghill
<01119> <04087> (8675) <04325>_.
{trodden down under: or, threshed, etc} {trodden down for...: or, threshed in Madmenah}
And he shall spread forth
<06566> (8765)
his hands
<03027>
in the midst
<07130>
of them, as he that swimmeth
<07811> (8802)
spreadeth forth
<06566> (8762)
[his hands] to swim
<07811> (8800)_:
and he shall bring down
<08213> (8689)
their pride
<01346>
together with the spoils
<0698>
of their hands
<03027>_.
And the fortress
<04013>
of the high fort
<04869>
of thy walls
<02346>
shall he bring down
<07817> (8689)_,
lay low
<08213> (8689)_,
[and] bring
<05060> (8689)
to the ground
<0776>_,
[even] to the dust
<06083>_.
In that day
<03117>
shall this song
<07892>
be sung
<07891> (8714)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_;
We have a strong
<05797>
city
<05892>_;
salvation
<03444>
will [God] appoint
<07896> (8799)
[for] walls
<02346>
and bulwarks
<02426>_.
Open
<06605> (8798)
ye the gates
<08179>_,
that the righteous
<06662>
nation
<01471>
which keepeth
<08104> (8802)
the truth
<0529>
may enter in
<0935> (8799)_.
{truth: Heb. truths}
Thou wilt keep
<05341> (8799)
[him] in perfect
<07965>
peace
<07965>_,
[whose] mind
<03336>
[is] stayed
<05564> (8803)
[on thee]: because he trusteth
<0982> (8803)
in thee. {perfect...: Heb. peace, peace} {mind: or, thought, or, imagination}
Trust
<0982> (8798)
ye in the LORD
<03068>
for ever
<05703>_:
for in the LORD
<03050>
JEHOVAH
<03068>
[is] everlasting
<05769>
strength
<06697>_:
{everlasting...: Heb. the rock of ages}
For he bringeth down
<07817> (8689)
them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
on high
<04791>_;
the lofty
<07682> (8737)
city
<07151>_,
he layeth it low
<08213> (8686)_;
he layeth it low
<08213> (8686)_,
[even] to the ground
<0776>_;
he bringeth
<05060> (8686)
it [even] to the dust
<06083>_.
The foot
<07272>
shall tread it down
<07429> (8799)_,
[even] the feet
<07272>
of the poor
<06041>_,
[and] the steps
<06471>
of the needy
<01800>_.
The way
<0734>
of the just
<06662>
[is] uprightness
<04339>_:
thou, most upright
<03477>_,
dost weigh
<06424> (8762)
the path
<04570>
of the just
<06662>_.
Yea, in the way
<0734>
of thy judgments
<04941>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
have we waited
<06960> (8765)
for thee; the desire
<08378>
of [our] soul
<05315>
[is] to thy name
<08034>_,
and to the remembrance
<02143>
of thee.
With my soul
<05315>
have I desired
<0183> (8765)
thee in the night
<03915>_;
yea, with my spirit
<07307>
within
<07130>
me will I seek thee early
<07836> (8762)_:
for when thy judgments
<04941>
[are] in the earth
<0776>_,
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the world
<08398>
will learn
<03925> (8804)
righteousness
<06664>_.
Let favour be shewed
<02603> (8717)
to the wicked
<07563>_,
[yet] will he not
<01077>
learn
<03925> (8804)
righteousness
<06664>_:
in the land
<0776>
of uprightness
<05229>
will he deal unjustly
<05765> (8762)_,
and will not
<01077>
behold
<07200> (8799)
the majesty
<01348>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
LORD
<03068>_,
[when] thy hand
<03027>
is lifted up
<07311> (8804)_,
they will not see
<02372> (8799)_:
[but] they shall see
<02372> (8799)_,
and be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
for [their] envy
<07068>
at the people
<05971>_;
yea, the fire
<0784>
of thine enemies
<06862>
shall devour
<0398> (8799)
them. {at...: or, toward thy people}
LORD
<03068>_,
thou wilt ordain
<08239> (8799)
peace
<07965>
for us: for thou also hast wrought
<06466> (8804)
all our works
<04639>
in us. {in us: or, for us}
O LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
[other] lords
<0113>
beside
<02108>
thee have had dominion
<01166> (8804)
over us: [but] by thee only will we make mention
<02142> (8686)
of thy name
<08034>_.
[They are] dead
<04191> (8801)_,
they shall not live
<02421> (8799)_;
[they are] deceased
<07496>_,
they shall not rise
<06965> (8799)_:
therefore hast thou visited
<06485> (8804)
and destroyed
<08045> (8686)
them, and made all their memory
<02143>
to perish
<06> (8762)_.
Thou hast increased
<03254> (8804)
the nation
<01471>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou hast increased
<03254> (8804)
the nation
<01471>_:
thou art glorified
<03513> (8738)_:
thou hadst removed [it] far
<07368> (8765)
[unto] all the ends
<07099>
of the earth
<0776>_.
LORD
<03068>_,
in trouble
<06862>
have they visited
<06485> (8804)
thee, they poured out
<06694> (8804)
a prayer
<03908>
[when] thy chastening
<04148>
[was] upon them. {prayer: Heb. secret speech}
Like
<03644>
as a woman with child
<02030>_,
[that] draweth near
<07126> (8686)
the time of her delivery
<03205> (8800)_,
is in pain
<02342> (8799)_,
[and] crieth out
<02199> (8799)
in her pangs
<02256>_;
so have we been in thy sight
<06440>_,
O LORD
<03068>_.
We have been with child
<02029> (8804)_,
we have been in pain
<02342> (8804)_,
we have as it were
<03644>
brought forth
<03205> (8804)
wind
<07307>_;
we have not wrought
<06213> (8799)
any deliverance
<03444>
in the earth
<0776>_;
neither
<01077>
have the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the world
<08398>
fallen
<05307> (8799)_.
Thy dead
<04191> (8801)
[men] shall live
<02421> (8799)_,
[together with] my dead body
<05038>
shall they arise
<06965> (8799)_.
Awake
<06974> (8685)
and sing
<07442> (8761)_,
ye that dwell
<07931> (8802)
in dust
<06083>_:
for thy dew
<02919>
[is as] the dew
<02919>
of herbs
<0219>_,
and the earth
<0776>
shall cast out
<05307> (8686)
the dead
<07496>_.
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
my people
<05971>_,
enter
<0935> (8798)
thou into thy chambers
<02315>_,
and shut
<05462> (8798)
thy doors
<01817>
about thee: hide
<02247> (8798)
thyself as it were for a little
<04592>
moment
<07281>_,
until the indignation
<02195>
be overpast
<05674> (8799)_.
For, behold, the LORD
<03068>
cometh out
<03318> (8802)
of his place
<04725>
to punish
<06485> (8800)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>
for their iniquity
<05771>_:
the earth
<0776>
also shall disclose
<01540> (8765)
her blood
<01818>_,
and shall no more cover
<03680> (8762)
her slain
<02026> (8803)_.
{blood: Heb. bloods}
In that day
<03117>
the LORD
<03068>
with his sore
<07186>
and great
<01419>
and strong
<02389>
sword
<02719>
shall punish
<06485> (8799)
leviathan
<03882>
the piercing
<01281>
serpent
<05175>_,
even leviathan
<03882>
that crooked
<06129>
serpent
<05175>_;
and he shall slay
<02026> (8804)
the dragon
<08577>
that [is] in the sea
<03220>_.
{piercing: or, crossing like a bar}
In that day
<03117>
sing
<06031> (8761)
ye unto her, A vineyard
<03754>
of red wine
<02561> (8676) <02531>_.
I the LORD
<03068>
do keep
<05341> (8802)
it; I will water
<08248> (8686)
it every moment
<07281>_:
lest [any] hurt
<06485> (8799)
it, I will keep
<05341> (8799)
it night
<03915>
and day
<03117>_.
Fury
<02534>
[is] not in me: who would set
<05414> (8799)
the briers
<08068>
[and] thorns
<07898>
against me in battle
<04421>_?
I would go
<06585> (8799)
through them, I would burn
<06702> (8686)
them together
<03162>_.
{go...: or, march against}
Or let him take hold
<02388> (8686)
of my strength
<04581>_,
[that] he may make
<06213> (8799)
peace
<07965>
with me; [and] he shall make
<06213> (8799)
peace
<07965>
with me.
He shall cause them that come
<0935> (8802)
of Jacob
<03290>
to take root
<08327> (8686)_:
Israel
<03478>
shall blossom
<06692> (8686)
and bud
<06524> (8804)_,
and fill
<04390> (8804)
the face
<06440>
of the world
<08398>
with fruit
<08570>_.
Hath he smitten
<05221> (8689)
him, as he smote
<04347>
those that smote
<05221> (8688)
him? [or] is he slain
<02026> (8795)
according to the slaughter
<02027>
of them that are slain
<02026> (8803)
by him? {as...: Heb. according to the stroke of}
In measure
<05432>_,
when it shooteth forth
<07971> (8763)_,
thou wilt debate
<07378> (8799)
with it: he stayeth
<01898> (8804)
his rough
<07186>
wind
<07307>
in the day
<03117>
of the east wind
<06921>_.
{it shooteth...: or, thou sendest it forth} {he...: or, when he removeth it with}
By this
<02063>
therefore shall the iniquity
<05771>
of Jacob
<03290>
be purged
<03722> (8792)_;
and this [is] all the fruit
<06529>
to take away
<05493> (8687)
his sin
<02403>_;
when he maketh
<07760> (8800)
all the stones
<068>
of the altar
<04196>
as chalkstones
<01615>
that are beaten in sunder
<05310> (8794)_,
the groves
<0842>
and images
<02553>
shall not stand up
<06965> (8799)_.
{images: or, sun images}
Yet the defenced
<01219> (8803)
city
<05892>
[shall be] desolate
<0910>_,
[and] the habitation
<05116>
forsaken
<07971> (8794)_,
and left
<05800> (8737)
like a wilderness
<04057>_:
there shall the calf
<05695>
feed
<07462> (8799)_,
and there shall he lie down
<07257> (8799)_,
and consume
<03615> (8765)
the branches
<05585>
thereof.
When the boughs
<07105>
thereof are withered
<03001> (8800)_,
they shall be broken off
<07665> (8735)_:
the women
<0802>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
[and] set them on fire
<0215> (8688)_:
for it [is] a people
<05971>
of no understanding
<0998>_:
therefore he that made
<06213> (8802)
them will not have mercy
<07355> (8762)
on them, and he that formed
<03335> (8802)
them will shew them no favour
<02603> (8799)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the LORD
<03068>
shall beat off
<02251> (8799)
from the channel
<07641>
of the river
<05104>
unto the stream
<05158>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and ye shall be gathered
<03950> (8792)
one
<0259>
by one
<0259>_,
O ye children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
[that] the great
<01419>
trumpet
<07782>
shall be blown
<08628> (8735)_,
and they shall come
<0935> (8804)
which were ready to perish
<06> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and the outcasts
<05080> (8737)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and shall worship
<07812> (8694)
the LORD
<03068>
in the holy
<06944>
mount
<02022>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Woe
<01945>
to the crown
<05850>
of pride
<01348>_,
to the drunkards
<07910>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
whose glorious
<06643>
beauty
<08597>
[is] a fading
<05034> (8802)
flower
<06731>_,
which [are] on the head
<07218>
of the fat
<08081>
valleys
<01516>
of them that are overcome
<01986> (8803)
with wine
<03196>_!
{overcome: Heb. broken}
Behold, the Lord
<0136>
hath a mighty
<02389>
and strong one
<0533>_,
[which] as a tempest
<02230>
of hail
<01259>
[and] a destroying
<06986>
storm
<08178>_,
as a flood
<02230>
of mighty
<03524>
waters
<04325>
overflowing
<07857> (8802)_,
shall cast down
<03240> (8689)
to the earth
<0776>
with the hand
<03027>_.
The crown
<05850>
of pride
<01348>_,
the drunkards
<07910>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
shall be trodden
<07429> (8735)
under feet
<07272>_:
{under...: Heb. with feet}
And the glorious
<06643>
beauty
<08597>_,
which [is] on the head
<07218>
of the fat
<08081>
valley
<01516>_,
shall be a fading
<05034> (8802)
flower
<06733>_,
[and] as the hasty fruit
<01061>
before the summer
<07019>_;
which [when] he that looketh
<07200> (8802)
upon it seeth
<07200> (8799)_,
while it is yet in his hand
<03709>
he eateth it up
<01104> (8799)_.
{eateth: Heb. swalloweth}
In that day
<03117>
shall the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
be for a crown
<05850>
of glory
<06643>_,
and for a diadem
<06843>
of beauty
<08597>_,
unto the residue
<07605>
of his people
<05971>_,
And for a spirit
<07307>
of judgment
<04941>
to him that sitteth
<03427> (8802)
in judgment
<04941>_,
and for strength
<01369>
to them that turn
<07725> (8688)
the battle
<04421>
to the gate
<08179>_.
But they
<0428>
also have erred
<07686> (8804)
through wine
<03196>_,
and through strong drink
<07941>
are out of the way
<08582> (8804)_;
the priest
<03548>
and the prophet
<05030>
have erred
<07686> (8804)
through strong drink
<07941>_,
they are swallowed up
<01104> (8738)
of
<04480>
wine
<03196>_,
they are out of the way
<08582> (8804)
through strong drink
<07941>_;
they err
<07686> (8804)
in vision
<07203>_,
they stumble
<06328> (8804)
[in] judgment
<06417>_.
For all tables
<07979>
are full
<04390> (8804)
of vomit
<06892>
[and] filthiness
<06675>_,
[so that there is] no place
<04725>
[clean].
Whom shall he teach
<03384> (8686)
knowledge
<01844>_?
and whom shall he make to understand
<0995> (8799)
doctrine
<08052>_?
[them that are] weaned
<01580> (8803)
from the milk
<02461>_,
[and] drawn
<06267>
from the breasts
<07699>_.
{doctrine: Heb. the hearing?}
For precept
<06673>
[must be] upon precept
<06673>_,
precept
<06673>
upon precept
<06673>_;
line
<06957>
upon line
<06957>_,
line
<06957>
upon line
<06957>_;
here a little
<02191>_,
[and] there a little
<02191>_:
{must be: or, hath been}
For with stammering
<03934>
lips
<08193>
and another
<0312>
tongue
<03956>
will he speak
<01696> (8762)
to this people
<05971>_.
{stammering...: Heb. stammerings of lip} {will...: or, he hath spoken}
To whom he said
<0559> (8804)_,
This [is] the rest
<04496>
[wherewith] ye may cause the weary
<05889>
to rest
<05117> (8685)_;
and this [is] the refreshing
<04774>_:
yet they would
<014> (8804)
not hear
<08085> (8800)_.
But the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
was unto them precept
<06673>
upon precept
<06673>_,
precept
<06673>
upon precept
<06673>_;
line
<06957>
upon line
<06957>_,
line
<06957>
upon line
<06957>_;
here a little
<02191>_,
[and] there a little
<02191>_;
that they might go
<03212> (8799)_,
and fall
<03782> (8804)
backward
<0268>_,
and be broken
<07665> (8738)_,
and snared
<03369> (8738)_,
and taken
<03920> (8738)_.
Wherefore hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
ye scornful
<03944>
men
<0582>_,
that rule
<04910> (8802)
this people
<05971>
which [is] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Because ye have said
<0559> (8804)_,
We have made
<03772> (8804)
a covenant
<01285>
with death
<04194>_,
and with hell
<07585>
are we
<06213> (8804)
at agreement
<02374>_;
when the overflowing
<07857> (8802)
scourge
<07752> (8675) <07885>
shall pass through
<05674> (8799) (8675) <05674> (8804)_,
it shall not come
<0935> (8799)
unto us: for we have made
<07760> (8804)
lies
<03577>
our refuge
<04268>_,
and under falsehood
<08267>
have we hid
<05641> (8738)
ourselves:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
Behold, I lay
<03245> (8765)
in Zion
<06726>
for a foundation a stone
<068>_,
a tried
<0976>
stone
<068>_,
a precious
<03368>
corner
<06438>
[stone], a sure
<03245> (8716)
foundation
<04143>_:
he that believeth
<0539> (8688)
shall not make haste
<02363> (8686)_.
Judgment
<04941>
also will I lay
<07760> (8804)
to the line
<06957>_,
and righteousness
<06666>
to the plummet
<04949>_:
and the hail
<01259>
shall sweep away
<03261> (8804)
the refuge
<04268>
of lies
<03577>_,
and the waters
<04325>
shall overflow
<07857> (8799)
the hiding place
<05643>_.
And your covenant
<01285>
with death
<04194>
shall be disannulled
<03722> (8795)_,
and your agreement
<02380>
with hell
<07585>
shall not stand
<06965> (8799)_;
when the overflowing
<07857> (8802)
scourge
<07752>
shall pass through
<05674> (8799)_,
then ye shall be trodden down
<04823>
by it. {trodden...: Heb. a treading down to it}
From the time
<01767>
that it goeth forth
<05674> (8800)
it shall take
<03947> (8799)
you: for morning
<01242>
by morning
<01242>
shall it pass over
<05674> (8799)_,
by day
<03117>
and by night
<03915>_:
and it shall be a vexation
<02113>
only [to] understand
<0995> (8687)
the report
<08052>_.
{to...: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}
For the bed
<04702>
is shorter
<07114> (8804)
than that [a man] can stretch
<08311> (8692)
himself [on it]: and the covering
<04541>
narrower
<06887> (8804)
than that he can wrap
<03664> (8692)
himself [in it].
For the LORD
<03068>
shall rise up
<06965> (8799)
as [in] mount
<02022>
Perazim
<06559>_,
he shall be wroth
<07264> (8799)
as [in] the valley
<06010>
of Gibeon
<01391>_,
that he may do
<06213> (8800)
his work
<04639>_,
his strange
<02114> (8801)
work
<04639>_;
and bring to pass
<05647> (8800)
his act
<05656>_,
his strange
<05237>
act
<05656>_.
Now therefore be ye not mockers
<03887> (8698)_,
lest your bands
<04147>
be made strong
<02388> (8799)_:
for I have heard
<08085> (8804)
from the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
a consumption
<03617>_,
even determined
<02782> (8737)
upon the whole earth
<0776>_.
Give ye ear
<0238> (8685)_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_;
hearken
<07181> (8685)_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
my speech
<0565>_.
Doth the plowman
<02790> (8802)
plow
<02790> (8799)
all day
<03117>
to sow
<02232> (8800)_?
doth he open
<06605> (8762)
and break the clods
<07702> (8762)
of his ground
<0127>_?
When he hath made plain
<07737> (8765)
the face
<06440>
thereof, doth he not cast abroad
<06327> (8689)
the fitches
<07100>_,
and scatter
<02236> (8799)
the cummin
<03646>_,
and cast
<07760> (8804)
in the principal
<07795>
wheat
<02406>
and the appointed
<05567> (8737)
barley
<08184>
and the rie
<03698>
in their place
<01367>_?
{the principal...: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place} {rie: or, spelt} {place: Heb. border?}
For his God
<0430>
doth instruct
<03256> (8765)
him to discretion
<04941>_,
[and] doth teach
<03384> (8686)
him. {For...: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him}
For the fitches
<07100>
are not threshed
<01758> (8714)
with a threshing instrument
<02742>_,
neither is a cart
<05699>
wheel
<0212>
turned about
<05437> (8714)
upon the cummin
<03646>_;
but the fitches
<07100>
are beaten out
<02251> (8735)
with a staff
<04294>_,
and the cummin
<03646>
with a rod
<07626>_.
Bread
<03899>
[corn] is bruised
<01854> (8714)_;
because he will not ever
<05331>
be threshing
<0156> (8800) <01758> (8799)
it, nor break
<02000> (8804)
[it with] the wheel
<01536>
of his cart
<05699>_,
nor bruise
<01854> (8799)
it [with] his horsemen
<06571>_.
This also cometh forth
<03318> (8804)
from the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
[which] is wonderful
<06381> (8689)
in counsel
<06098>_,
[and] excellent
<01431> (8689)
in working
<08454>_.
Woe
<01945>
to Ariel
<0740>_,
to Ariel
<0740>_,
the city
<07151>
[where] David
<01732>
dwelt
<02583> (8804)_!
add
<05595> (8798)
ye year
<08141>
to year
<08141>_;
let them kill
<05362> (8799)
sacrifices
<02282>_.
{Woe...: or, O Ariel, that is, the lion of God} {the city: or, of the city} {kill: Heb. cut off the heads of}
Yet I will distress
<06693> (8689)
Ariel
<0740>_,
and there shall be heaviness
<08386>
and sorrow
<0592>_:
and it shall be unto me as Ariel
<0740>_.
And I will camp
<02583> (8804)
against thee round about
<01754>_,
and will lay siege
<06696> (8804)
against thee with a mount
<04674>_,
and I will raise
<06965> (8689)
forts
<04694>
against thee.
And thou shalt be brought down
<08213> (8804)_,
[and] shalt speak
<01696> (8762)
out of the ground
<0776>_,
and thy speech
<0565>
shall be low
<07817> (8735)
out of the dust
<06083>_,
and thy voice
<06963>
shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit
<0178>_,
out of the ground
<0776>_,
and thy speech
<0565>
shall whisper
<06850> (8770)
out of the dust
<06083>_.
{whisper: Heb. peep, or, chirp}
Moreover the multitude
<01995>
of thy strangers
<02114> (8801)
shall be like small
<01851>
dust
<080>_,
and the multitude
<01995>
of the terrible ones
<06184>
[shall be] as chaff
<04671>
that passeth away
<05674> (8802)_:
yea, it shall be at an instant
<06621>
suddenly
<06597>_.
Thou shalt be visited
<06485> (8735)
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
with thunder
<07482>_,
and with earthquake
<07494>_,
and great
<01419>
noise
<06963>_,
with storm
<05492>
and tempest
<05591>_,
and the flame
<03851>
of devouring
<0398> (8802)
fire
<0784>_.
And the multitude
<01995>
of all the nations
<01471>
that fight
<06633> (8802)
against Ariel
<0740>_,
even all that fight
<06638> (8802)
against her and her munition
<04685>_,
and that distress
<06693> (8688)
her, shall be as a dream
<02472>
of a night
<03915>
vision
<02377>_.
It shall even be as when an hungry
<07457>
[man] dreameth
<02492> (8799)_,
and, behold, he eateth
<0398> (8802)_;
but he awaketh
<06974> (8689)_,
and his soul
<05315>
is empty
<07386>_:
or as when
<0834>
a thirsty man
<06771>
dreameth
<02492> (8799)_,
and, behold, he drinketh
<08354> (8802)_;
but he awaketh
<06974> (8689)_,
and, behold, [he is] faint
<05889>_,
and his soul
<05315>
hath appetite
<08264> (8802)_:
so shall the multitude
<01995>
of all the nations
<01471>
be, that fight
<06633> (8802)
against mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_.
Stay
<04102> (8697)
yourselves, and wonder
<08539> (8798)_;
cry ye out
<08173> (8697)_,
and cry
<08173> (8798)_:
they are drunken
<07937> (8804)_,
but not with wine
<03196>_;
they stagger
<05128> (8804)_,
but not with strong drink
<07941>_.
{cry ye...: or, take your pleasure, and riot}
For the LORD
<03068>
hath poured out
<05258> (8804)
upon you the spirit
<07307>
of deep sleep
<08639>_,
and hath closed
<06105> (8762)
your eyes
<05869>_:
the prophets
<05030>
and your rulers
<07218>_,
the seers
<02374>
hath he covered
<03680> (8765)_.
{rulers: Heb. heads}
And the vision
<02380>
of all is become unto you as the words
<01697>
of a book
<05612>
that is sealed
<02856> (8803)_,
which [men] deliver
<05414> (8799)
to one that is learned
<03045> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Read
<07121> (8798)
this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,
I cannot
<03201> (8799)_;
for it [is] sealed
<02856> (8803)_:
{book: or, letter}
And the book
<05612>
is delivered
<05414> (8738)
to him that is not learned
<03045> (8804) <05612>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Read
<07121> (8798)
this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,
I am not learned
<03045> (8804)_.
Wherefore the Lord
<0136>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Forasmuch
<03282>
as this people
<05971>
draw near
<05066> (8738)
[me] with their mouth
<06310>_,
and with their lips
<08193>
do honour
<03513> (8765)
me, but have removed
<07368> (0)
their heart
<03820>
far
<07368> (8765)
from me, and their fear
<03374>
toward me is taught
<03925> (8794)
by the precept
<04687>
of men
<0582>_:
Therefore, behold, I will proceed
<03254> (8802)
to do a marvellous work
<06381> (8687)
among this people
<05971>_,
[even] a marvellous work
<06381> (8687)
and a wonder
<06382>_:
for the wisdom
<02451>
of their wise
<02450>
[men] shall perish
<06> (8804)_,
and the understanding
<0998>
of their prudent
<0995> (8737)
[men] shall be hid
<05641> (8691)_.
{proceed: Heb. add}
Woe
<01945>
unto them that seek deep
<06009> (8688)
to hide
<05641> (8687)
their counsel
<06098>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
and their works
<04639>
are in the dark
<04285>_,
and they say
<0559> (8799)_,
Who seeth
<07200> (8802)
us? and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)
us?
Surely your turning of things upside down
<02017> (8800)
shall be esteemed
<02803> (8735)
as the potter's
<03335> (8802)
clay
<02563>_:
for shall the work
<04639>
say
<0559> (8799)
of him that made
<06213> (8802)
it, He made
<06213> (8804)
me not? or shall the thing framed
<03336>
say
<0559> (8804)
of him that framed
<03335> (8802)
it, He had no understanding
<0995> (8689)_?
[Is] it not yet a very
<04213>
little while
<04592>_,
and Lebanon
<03844>
shall be turned
<07725> (8804)
into a fruitful field
<03759>_,
and the fruitful field
<03759>
shall be esteemed
<02803> (8735)
as a forest
<03293>_?
And in that day
<03117>
shall the deaf
<02795>
hear
<08085> (8804)
the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>_,
and the eyes
<05869>
of the blind
<05787>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
out of obscurity
<0652>_,
and out of darkness
<02822>_.
The meek
<06035>
also shall increase
<03254> (8804)
[their] joy
<08057>
in the LORD
<03068>_,
and the poor
<034>
among men
<0120>
shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)
in the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{increase: Heb. add}
For the terrible one
<06184>
is brought to nought
<0656> (8804)_,
and the scorner
<03887> (8801)
is consumed
<03615> (8804)_,
and all that watch
<08245> (8802)
for iniquity
<0205>
are cut off
<03772> (8738)_:
That make a man
<0120>
an offender
<02398> (8688)
for a word
<01697>_,
and lay a snare
<06983> (8799)
for him that reproveth
<03198> (8688)
in the gate
<08179>_,
and turn aside
<05186> (8686)
the just
<06662>
for a thing of nought
<08414>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
who redeemed
<06299> (8804)
Abraham
<085>_,
concerning the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
Jacob
<03290>
shall not now be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,
neither shall his face
<06440>
now wax pale
<02357> (8799)_.
But when he seeth
<07200> (8800)
his children
<03206>_,
the work
<04639>
of mine hands
<03027>_,
in the midst
<07130>
of him, they shall sanctify
<06942> (8686)
my name
<08034>_,
and sanctify
<06942> (8689)
the Holy One
<06918>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and shall fear
<06206> (8686)
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
They also that erred
<08582> (8802)
in spirit
<07307>
shall come
<03045> (8804)
to understanding
<0998>_,
and they that murmured
<07279> (8803)
shall learn
<03925> (8799)
doctrine
<03948>_.
{come...: Heb. know understanding}
Woe
<01945>
to the rebellious
<05637> (8802)
children
<01121>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that take
<06213> (8800)
counsel
<06098>_,
but not of me; and that cover
<05258> (8800)
with a covering
<04541>_,
but not of my spirit
<07307>_,
that they may add
<05595> (8800)
sin
<02403>
to sin
<02403>_:
That walk
<01980> (8802)
to go down
<03381> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and have not asked
<07592> (8804)
at my mouth
<06310>_;
to strengthen
<05810> (8800)
themselves in the strength
<04581>
of Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and to trust
<02620> (8800)
in the shadow
<06738>
of Egypt
<04714>_!
Therefore shall the strength
<04581>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
be your shame
<01322>_,
and the trust
<02622>
in the shadow
<06738>
of Egypt
<04714>
[your] confusion
<03639>_.
For his princes
<08269>
were at Zoan
<06814>_,
and his ambassadors
<04397>
came
<05060> (8686)
to Hanes
<02609>_.
They were all ashamed
<03001> (8689)
of a people
<05971>
[that] could not profit
<03276> (8686)
them, nor be an help
<05828>
nor profit
<03276> (8687)_,
but a shame
<01322>_,
and also a reproach
<02781>_.
The burden
<04853>
of the beasts
<0929>
of the south
<05045>_:
into the land
<0776>
of trouble
<06869>
and anguish
<06695>_,
from whence [come] the young
<03833>
and old lion
<03918>_,
the viper
<0660>
and fiery
<08314> (0)
flying
<05774> (8789)
serpent
<08314>_,
they will carry
<05375> (8799)
their riches
<02428>
upon the shoulders
<03802>
of young asses
<05895>_,
and their treasures
<0214>
upon the bunches
<01707>
of camels
<01581>_,
to a people
<05971>
[that] shall not profit
<03276> (8686)
[them].
For the Egyptians
<04714>
shall help
<05826> (8799)
in vain
<01892>_,
and to no purpose
<07385>_:
therefore have I cried
<07121> (8804)
concerning this
<02063>_,
Their
<01992>
strength
<07293>
[is] to sit still
<07674>_.
{concerning...: or, to her}
Now go
<0935> (8798)_,
write
<03789> (8798)
it before them in a table
<03871>_,
and note
<02710> (8798)
it in a book
<05612>_,
that it may be for the time
<03117>
to come
<0314>
for
<05704>
ever
<05703>
and ever
<05769>_:
{the...: Heb. the latter day}
That this [is] a rebellious
<04805>
people
<05971>_,
lying
<03586>
children
<01121>_,
children
<01121>
[that] will
<014> (8804)
not hear
<08085> (8800)
the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
Which say
<0559> (8804)
to the seers
<07200> (8802)_,
See
<07200> (8799)
not; and to the prophets
<02374>_,
Prophesy
<02372> (8799)
not unto us right things
<05229>_,
speak
<01696> (8761)
unto us smooth things
<02513>_,
prophesy
<02372> (8798)
deceits
<04123>_:
Get you out
<05493> (8798)
of the way
<01870>_,
turn aside
<05186> (8685)
out of the path
<0734>_,
cause the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
to cease
<07673> (8685)
from before
<06440>
us.
Wherefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Because ye despise
<03988> (8800)
this word
<01697>_,
and trust
<0982> (8799)
in oppression
<06233>
and perverseness
<03868> (8737)_,
and stay
<08172> (8735)
thereon: {oppression: or, fraud}
Therefore this iniquity
<05771>
shall be to you as a breach
<06556>
ready to fall
<05307> (8802)_,
swelling out
<01158> (8737)
in a high
<07682> (8737)
wall
<02346>_,
whose breaking
<07667>
cometh
<0935> (8799)
suddenly
<06597>
at an instant
<06621>_.
And he shall break
<07665> (8804)
it as the breaking
<07667>
of the potters
<03335> (8802)_'
vessel
<05035>
that is broken in pieces
<03807> (8800)_;
he shall not spare
<02550> (8799)_:
so that there shall not be found
<04672> (8735)
in the bursting
<04386>
of it a sherd
<02789>
to take
<02846> (8800)
fire
<0784>
from the hearth
<03344> (8803)_,
or to take
<02834> (8800)
water
<04325>
[withal] out of the pit
<01360>_.
{the potters'...: Heb. the bottle of potters}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_;
In returning
<07729>
and rest
<05183>
shall ye be saved
<03467> (8735)_;
in quietness
<08252> (8687)
and in confidence
<0985>
shall be your strength
<01369>_:
and ye would
<014> (8804)
not.
But ye said
<0559> (8799)_,
No; for we will flee
<05127> (8799)
upon horses
<05483>_;
therefore shall ye flee
<05127> (8799)_:
and, We will ride
<07392> (8799)
upon the swift
<07031>_;
therefore shall they that pursue
<07291> (8802)
you be swift
<07043> (8735)_.
One
<0259>
thousand
<0505>
[shall flee] at
<06440>
the rebuke
<01606>
of one
<0259>_;
at
<06440>
the rebuke
<01606>
of five
<02568>
shall ye flee
<05127> (8799)_:
till ye be left
<03498> (8738)
as a beacon
<08650>
upon the top
<07218>
of a mountain
<02022>_,
and as an ensign
<05251>
on an hill
<01389>_.
{a beacon: or, a tree bereft of branches, or, boughs: or, a mast}
And therefore will the LORD
<03068>
wait
<02442> (8762)_,
that he may be gracious
<02603> (8800)
unto you, and therefore will he be exalted
<07311> (8799)_,
that he may have mercy
<07355> (8763)
upon you: for the LORD
<03068>
[is] a God
<0430>
of judgment
<04941>_:
blessed
<0835>
[are] all they that wait
<02442> (8802)
for him.
For the people
<05971>
shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
in Zion
<06726>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_:
thou shalt weep
<01058> (8799)
no more
<01058> (8800)_:
he will be very
<02603> (8800)
gracious
<02603> (8799)
unto thee at the voice
<06963>
of thy cry
<02199> (8800)_;
when he shall hear
<08085> (8800)
it, he will answer
<06030> (8804)
thee.
And [though] the Lord
<0136>
give
<05414> (8804)
you the bread
<03899>
of adversity
<06862>_,
and the water
<04325>
of affliction
<03906>_,
yet shall not thy teachers
<03384> (8688)
be removed into a corner
<03670> (8735)
any more, but thine eyes
<05869>
shall see
<07200> (8802)
thy teachers
<03384> (8688)_:
{affliction: or, oppression}
And thine ears
<0241>
shall hear
<08085> (8799)
a word
<01697>
behind
<0310>
thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This [is] the way
<01870>_,
walk ye in it
<03212> (8798)_,
when ye turn to the right hand
<0541> (8686)_,
and when ye turn to the left
<08041> (8686)_.
Ye shall defile
<02930> (8765)
also the covering
<06826>
of thy graven images
<06456>
of silver
<03701>_,
and the ornament
<0642>
of thy molten images
<04541>
of gold
<02091>_:
thou shalt cast them away
<02219> (8799)
as a menstruous cloth
<01739>_;
thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)
unto it, Get thee hence
<03318> (8798)_.
{thy graven...: Heb. the graven images of thy silver} {cast: Heb. scatter}
Then shall he give
<05414> (8804)
the rain
<04306>
of thy seed
<02233>_,
that thou shalt sow
<02232> (8799)
the ground
<0127>
withal; and bread
<03899>
of the increase
<08393>
of the earth
<0127>_,
and it shall be fat
<01879>
and plenteous
<08082>_:
in that day
<03117>
shall thy cattle
<04735>
feed
<07462> (8799)
in large
<07337> (8737)
pastures
<03733>_.
The oxen
<0504>
likewise and the young asses
<05895>
that ear
<05647> (8802)
the ground
<0127>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)
clean
<02548>
provender
<01098>_,
which hath been winnowed
<02219> (8802)
with the shovel
<07371>
and with the fan
<04214>_.
{clean: or, savoury: Heb. leavened}
And there shall be upon every high
<01364>
mountain
<02022>_,
and upon every high
<05375> (8737)
hill
<01389>_,
rivers
<06388>
[and] streams
<02988>
of waters
<04325>
in the day
<03117>
of the great
<07227>
slaughter
<02027>_,
when the towers
<04026>
fall
<05307> (8800)_.
{high hill: Heb. lifted up, etc}
Moreover the light
<0216>
of the moon
<03842>
shall be as the light
<0216>
of the sun
<02535>_,
and the light
<0216>
of the sun
<02535>
shall be sevenfold
<07659>_,
as the light
<0216>
of seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
in the day
<03117>
that the LORD
<03068>
bindeth up
<02280> (8800)
the breach
<07667>
of his people
<05971>_,
and healeth
<07495> (8799)
the stroke
<04273>
of their wound
<04347>_.
Behold, the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
cometh
<0935> (8804)
from far
<04801>_,
burning
<01197> (8802)
[with] his anger
<0639>_,
and the burden
<04858>
[thereof is] heavy
<03514>_:
his lips
<08193>
are full
<04390> (8804)
of indignation
<02195>_,
and his tongue
<03956>
as a devouring
<0398> (8802)
fire
<0784>_:
{burden...: or, grievousness of flame} {heavy: Heb. heaviness}
And his breath
<07307>_,
as an overflowing
<07857> (8802)
stream
<05158>_,
shall reach to the midst
<02673> (8799)
of the neck
<06677>_,
to sift
<05130> (8687)
the nations
<01471>
with the sieve
<05299>
of vanity
<07723>_:
and [there shall be] a bridle
<07448>
in the jaws
<03895>
of the people
<05971>_,
causing [them] to err
<08582> (8688)_.
Ye shall have a song
<07892>_,
as in the night
<03915>
[when] a holy
<06942> (0)
solemnity
<02282>
is kept
<06942> (8692)_;
and gladness
<08057>
of heart
<03824>_,
as when one goeth
<01980> (8802)
with a pipe
<02485>
to come
<0935> (8800)
into the mountain
<02022>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to the mighty One
<06697>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{mighty...: Heb. Rock}
And the LORD
<03068>
shall cause his glorious
<01935>
voice
<06963>
to be heard
<08085> (8689)_,
and shall shew
<07200> (8686)
the lighting down
<05183>
of his arm
<02220>_,
with the indignation
<02197>
of [his] anger
<0639>_,
and [with] the flame
<03851>
of a devouring
<0398> (8802)
fire
<0784>_,
[with] scattering
<05311>_,
and tempest
<02230>_,
and hailstones
<068> <01259>_.
{his glorious...: Heb. the glory of his voice}
For through the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall the Assyrian
<0804>
be beaten down
<02865> (8735)_,
[which] smote
<05221> (8686)
with a rod
<07626>_.
And [in] every place
<03605>
where the grounded
<04145>
staff
<04294>
shall pass
<04569>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
shall lay
<05117> (8686)
upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets
<08596>
and harps
<03658>_:
and in battles
<04421>
of shaking
<08573>
will he fight
<03898> (8738)
with it. {in every...: Heb. every passing of the rod founded} {lay...: Heb. cause to rest upon} {with it: or, against them}
For Tophet
<08613>
[is] ordained
<06186> (8803)
of old
<0865>_;
yea, for the king
<04428>
it is prepared
<03559> (8717)_;
he hath made [it] deep
<06009> (8689)
[and] large
<07337> (8689)_:
the pile
<04071>
thereof [is] fire
<0784>
and much
<07235> (8687)
wood
<06086>_;
the breath
<05397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
like a stream
<05158>
of brimstone
<01614>_,
doth kindle
<01197> (8802)
it. {of old: Heb. from yesterday}
Woe
<01945>
to them that go down
<03381> (8802)
to Egypt
<04714>
for help
<05833>_;
and stay
<08172> (8735)
on horses
<05483>_,
and trust
<0982> (8799)
in chariots
<07393>_,
because [they are] many
<07227>_;
and in horsemen
<06571>_,
because they are very
<03966>
strong
<06105> (8804)_;
but they look
<08159> (8804)
not unto the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
neither seek
<01875> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_!
Yet he also [is] wise
<02450>_,
and will bring
<0935> (8686)
evil
<07451>_,
and will not call back
<05493> (8689)
his words
<01697>_:
but will arise
<06965> (8804)
against the house
<01004>
of the evildoers
<07489> (8688)_,
and against the help
<05833>
of them that work
<06466> (8802)
iniquity
<0205>_.
{call...: Heb. remove}
Now the Egyptians
<04714>
[are] men
<0120>_,
and not God
<0410>_;
and their horses
<05483>
flesh
<01320>_,
and not spirit
<07307>_.
When the LORD
<03068>
shall stretch out
<05186> (8686)
his hand
<03027>_,
both he that helpeth
<05826> (8802)
shall fall
<03782> (8804)_,
and he that is holpen
<05826> (8803)
shall fall down
<05307> (8804)_,
and they all shall fail
<03615> (8799)
together
<03162>_.
For thus hath the LORD
<03068>
spoken
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Like as the lion
<0738>
and the young lion
<03715>
roaring
<01897> (8799)
on his prey
<02964>_,
when a multitude
<04393>
of shepherds
<07462> (8802)
is called forth
<07121> (8735)
against him, [he] will not be afraid
<02865> (8735)
of their voice
<06963>_,
nor abase
<06031> (8799)
himself for the noise
<01995>
of them: so shall the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
come down
<03381> (8799)
to fight
<06633> (8800)
for mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_,
and for the hill
<01389>
thereof. {noise: or, multitude}
As birds
<06833>
flying
<05774> (8802)_,
so will the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
defend
<01598> (8686)
Jerusalem
<03389>_;
defending
<01598> (8800)
also he will deliver
<05337> (8689)
[it; and] passing over
<06452> (8800)
he will preserve
<04422> (8689)
it.
Turn
<07725> (8798)
ye unto [him from] whom the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have deeply
<06009> (8689)
revolted
<05627>_.
For in that day
<03117>
every man
<0376>
shall cast away
<03988> (8799)
his idols
<0457>
of silver
<03701>_,
and his idols
<0457>
of gold
<02091>_,
which your own hands
<03027>
have made
<06213> (8804)
unto you [for] a sin
<02399>_.
{his idols of gold: Heb. the idols of his gold}
Then shall the Assyrian
<0804>
fall
<05307> (8804)
with the sword
<02719>_,
not of a mighty man
<0376>_;
and the sword
<02719>_,
not of a mean man
<0120>_,
shall devour
<0398> (8799)
him: but he shall flee
<05127> (8804)
from
<06440>
the sword
<02719>_,
and his young men
<0970>
shall be discomfited
<04522>_.
{from: or, for fear of} {discomfited: or, tributary: Heb. for melting, or, tribute}
And he shall pass over
<05674> (8799)
to his strong hold
<05553>
for fear
<04032>_,
and his princes
<08269>
shall be afraid
<02865> (8804)
of the ensign
<05251>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
whose fire
<0217>
[is] in Zion
<06726>_,
and his furnace
<08574>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{he...: Heb. his rock shall pass away for fear} {his strong hold: or, his strength}
Behold, a king
<04428>
shall reign
<04427> (8799)
in righteousness
<06664>_,
and princes
<08269>
shall rule
<08323> (8799)
in judgment
<04941>_.
And a man
<0376>
shall be as an hiding place
<04224>
from the wind
<07307>_,
and a covert
<05643>
from the tempest
<02230>_;
as rivers
<06388>
of water
<04325>
in a dry place
<06724>_,
as the shadow
<06738>
of a great
<03515>
rock
<05553>
in a weary
<05889>
land
<0776>_.
{great: Heb. heavy}
And the eyes
<05869>
of them that see
<07200> (8802)
shall not be dim
<08159> (8799)_,
and the ears
<0241>
of them that hear
<08085> (8802)
shall hearken
<07181> (8799)_.
The heart
<03824>
also of the rash
<04116> (8737)
shall understand
<0995> (8799)
knowledge
<01847>_,
and the tongue
<03956>
of the stammerers
<05926>
shall be ready
<04116> (8762)
to speak
<01696> (8763)
plainly
<06703>_.
{rash: Heb. hasty} {plainly: or, elegantly}
The vile person
<05036>
shall be no more called
<07121> (8735)
liberal
<05081>_,
nor the churl
<03596>
said
<0559> (8735)
[to be] bountiful
<07771>_.
For the vile person
<05036>
will speak
<01696> (8762)
villany
<05039>_,
and his heart
<03820>
will work
<06213> (8799)
iniquity
<0205>_,
to practise
<06213> (8800)
hypocrisy
<02612>_,
and to utter
<01696> (8763)
error
<08442>
against the LORD
<03068>_,
to make empty
<07324> (8687)
the soul
<05315>
of the hungry
<07457>_,
and he will cause the drink
<04945>
of the thirsty
<06771>
to fail
<02637> (8686)_.
The instruments
<03627>
also of the churl
<03596>
[are] evil
<07451>_:
he deviseth
<03289> (8804)
wicked devices
<02154>
to destroy
<02254> (8763)
the poor
<06041> (8675) <06035>
with lying
<08267>
words
<0561>_,
even when the needy
<034>
speaketh
<01696> (8763)
right
<04941>_.
{the needy...: or, he speaketh against the poor in judgment}
But the liberal
<05081>
deviseth
<03289> (8804)
liberal things
<05081>_;
and by liberal things
<05081>
shall he stand
<06965> (8799)_.
{stand: or, be established}
Rise up
<06965> (8798)_,
ye women
<0802>
that are at ease
<07600>_;
hear
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_,
ye careless
<0982> (8802)
daughters
<01323>_;
give ear
<0238> (8685)
unto my speech
<0565>_.
Many days
<03117>
and years
<08141>
shall ye be troubled
<07264> (8799)_,
ye careless women
<0982> (8802)_:
for the vintage
<01210>
shall fail
<03615> (8804)_,
the gathering
<0625>
shall not come
<0935> (8799)_.
{Many...: Heb. Days above a year}
Tremble
<02729> (8798)_,
ye women that are at ease
<07600>_;
be troubled
<07264> (8798)_,
ye careless ones
<0982> (8802)_:
strip
<06584> (8800)
you, and make you bare
<06209> (8798)_,
and gird
<02290>
[sackcloth] upon [your] loins
<02504>_.
They shall lament
<05594> (8802)
for the teats
<07699>_,
for the pleasant
<02531>
fields
<07704>_,
for the fruitful
<06509> (8802)
vine
<01612>_.
{pleasant...: Heb. fields of desire}
Upon the land
<0127>
of my people
<05971>
shall come up
<05927> (8799)
thorns
<06975>
[and] briers
<08068>_;
yea, upon all the houses
<01004>
of joy
<04885>
[in] the joyous
<05947>
city
<07151>_:
{yea...: or, burning upon}
Because the palaces
<0759>
shall be forsaken
<05203> (8795)_;
the multitude
<01995>
of the city
<05892>
shall be left
<05800> (8795)_;
the forts
<06076>
and towers
<0975>
shall be for dens
<04631>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
a joy
<04885>
of wild asses
<06501>_,
a pasture
<04829>
of flocks
<05739>_;
{forts...: or, clifts and watchtowers}
Until the spirit
<07307>
be poured
<06168> (8735)
upon us from on high
<04791>_,
and the wilderness
<04057>
be a fruitful field
<03759>_,
and the fruitful field
<03759>
be counted
<02803> (8735)
for a forest
<03293>_.
Then judgment
<04941>
shall dwell
<07931> (8804)
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
and righteousness
<06666>
remain
<03427> (8799)
in the fruitful field
<03759>_.
And the work
<04639>
of righteousness
<06666>
shall be peace
<07965>_;
and the effect
<05656>
of righteousness
<06666>
quietness
<08252> (8687)
and assurance
<0983>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
And my people
<05971>
shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
in a peaceable
<07965>
habitation
<05116>_,
and in sure
<04009>
dwellings
<04908>_,
and in quiet
<07600>
resting places
<04496>_;
When it shall hail
<01258> (8804)_,
coming down
<03381> (8800)
on the forest
<03293>_;
and the city
<05892>
shall be low
<08213> (8799)
in a low place
<08218>_.
{low in...: or, utterly abased}
Blessed
<0835>
[are] ye that sow
<02232> (8802)
beside all waters
<04325>_,
that send forth
<07971> (8764)
[thither] the feet
<07272>
of the ox
<07794>
and the ass
<02543>_.
Woe
<01945>
to thee that spoilest
<07703> (8802)_,
and thou [wast] not spoiled
<07703> (8803)_;
and dealest treacherously
<0898> (8802)_,
and they dealt not treacherously
<0898> (8804)
with thee! when thou shalt cease
<08552> (8687)
to spoil
<07703> (8802)_,
thou shalt be spoiled
<07703> (8714)_;
[and] when thou shalt make an end
<05239> (8687)
to deal treacherously
<0898> (8800)_,
they shall deal treacherously
<0898> (8799)
with thee.
O LORD
<03068>_,
be gracious
<02603> (8798)
unto us; we have waited
<06960> (8765)
for thee: be thou their arm
<02220>
every morning
<01242>_,
our salvation
<03444>
also in the time
<06256>
of trouble
<06869>_.
At the noise
<06963>
of the tumult
<01995>
the people
<05971>
fled
<05074> (8804)_;
at the lifting up
<07427>
of thyself the nations
<01471>
were scattered
<05310> (8804)_.
And your spoil
<07998>
shall be gathered
<0622> (8795)
[like] the gathering
<0625>
of the caterpiller
<02625>_:
as the running to and fro
<04944>
of locusts
<01357>
shall he run
<08264> (8802)
upon them.
The LORD
<03068>
is exalted
<07682> (8737)_;
for he dwelleth
<07931> (8802)
on high
<04791>_:
he hath filled
<04390> (8765)
Zion
<06726>
with judgment
<04941>
and righteousness
<06666>_.
And wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<01847>
shall be the stability
<0530>
of thy times
<06256>_,
[and] strength
<02633>
of salvation
<03444>_:
the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] his treasure
<0214>_.
{salvation: Heb. salvations}
Behold, their valiant ones
<0691>
shall cry
<06817> (8804)
without
<02351>_:
the ambassadors
<04397>
of peace
<07965>
shall weep
<01058> (8799)
bitterly
<04751>_.
{valiant...: or, messengers}
The highways
<04546>
lie waste
<08074> (8738)_,
the wayfaring man
<05674> (8802) <0734>
ceaseth
<07673> (8804)_:
he hath broken
<06565> (8689)
the covenant
<01285>_,
he hath despised
<03988> (8804)
the cities
<05892>_,
he regardeth
<02803> (8804)
no man
<0582>_.
The earth
<0776>
mourneth
<056> (8804)
[and] languisheth
<0535> (8797)_:
Lebanon
<03844>
is ashamed
<02659> (8689)
[and] hewn down
<07060> (8804)_:
Sharon
<08289>
is like a wilderness
<06160>_;
and Bashan
<01316>
and Carmel
<03760>
shake off
<05287> (8802)
[their fruits]. {hewn...: or, withered away}
Now will I rise
<06965> (8799)_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_;
now will I be exalted
<07426> (8735)_;
now will I lift up
<05375> (8735)
myself.
Ye shall conceive
<02029> (8799)
chaff
<02842>_,
ye shall bring forth
<03205> (8799)
stubble
<07179>_:
your breath
<07307>_,
[as] fire
<0784>_,
shall devour
<0398> (8799)
you.
And the people
<05971>
shall be [as] the burnings
<04955>
of lime
<07875>_:
[as] thorns
<06975>
cut up
<03683> (8803)
shall they be burned
<03341> (8799)
in the fire
<0784>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
ye [that are] far off
<07350>_,
what I have done
<06213> (8804)_;
and, ye [that are] near
<07138>_,
acknowledge
<03045> (8798)
my might
<01369>_.
The sinners
<02400>
in Zion
<06726>
are afraid
<06342> (8804)_;
fearfulness
<07461>
hath surprised
<0270> (8804)
the hypocrites
<02611>_.
Who among us shall dwell
<01481> (8799)
with the devouring
<0398> (8802)
fire
<0784>_?
who among us shall dwell
<01481> (8799)
with everlasting
<05769>
burnings
<04168>_?
He that walketh
<01980> (8802)
righteously
<06666>_,
and speaketh
<01696> (8802)
uprightly
<04339>_;
he that despiseth
<03988> (8802)
the gain
<01215>
of oppressions
<04642>_,
that shaketh
<05287> (8802)
his hands
<03709>
from holding
<08551> (8800)
of bribes
<07810>_,
that stoppeth
<0331> (8801)
his ears
<0241>
from hearing
<08085> (8800)
of blood
<01818>_,
and shutteth
<06105> (8802)
his eyes
<05869>
from seeing
<07200> (8800)
evil
<07451>_;
{righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses} {uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses} {oppressions: or, deceits} {blood: Heb. bloods}
He shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
on high
<04791>_:
his place of defence
<04869>
[shall be] the munitions
<04679>
of rocks
<05553>_:
bread
<03899>
shall be given
<05414> (8737)
him; his waters
<04325>
[shall be] sure
<0539> (8737)_.
{high: Heb. heights, or, high places}
Thine eyes
<05869>
shall see
<02372> (8799)
the king
<04428>
in his beauty
<03308>_:
they shall behold
<07200> (8799)
the land
<0776>
that is very far off
<04801>_.
{that...: Heb. of far distances}
Thine heart
<03820>
shall meditate
<01897> (8799)
terror
<0367>_.
Where [is] the scribe
<05608> (8802)_?
where [is] the receiver
<08254> (8802)_?
where [is] he that counted
<05608> (8802)
the towers
<04026>_?
{receiver: Heb. weigher?}
Thou shalt not see
<07200> (8799)
a fierce
<03267> (8737)
people
<05971>_,
a people
<05971>
of a deeper
<06012>
speech
<08193>
than thou canst perceive
<08085> (8800)_;
of a stammering
<03932> (8737)
tongue
<03956>_,
[that thou canst] not understand
<0998>_.
{stammering: or, ridiculous}
Look
<02372> (8798)
upon Zion
<06726>_,
the city
<07151>
of our solemnities
<04150>_:
thine eyes
<05869>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
Jerusalem
<03389>
a quiet
<07600>
habitation
<05116>_,
a tabernacle
<0168>
[that] shall not be taken down
<06813> (8799)_;
not one of the stakes
<03489>
thereof shall ever
<05331>
be removed
<05265> (8799)_,
neither shall any of the cords
<02256>
thereof be broken
<05423> (8735)_.
But there the glorious
<0117>
LORD
<03068>
[will be] unto us a place
<04725>
of broad
<07342> <03027>
rivers
<05104>
[and] streams
<02975>_;
wherein shall go
<03212> (8799)
no
<01077>
galley
<0590>
with oars
<07885>_,
neither shall gallant
<0117>
ship
<06716>
pass
<05674> (8799)
thereby. {of...: Heb. broad of spaces, or, hands}
For the LORD
<03068>
[is] our judge
<08199> (8802)_,
the LORD
<03068>
[is] our lawgiver
<02710> (8781)_,
the LORD
<03068>
[is] our king
<04428>_;
he will save
<03467> (8686)
us. {lawgiver: Heb. statutemaker}
Thy tacklings
<02256>
are loosed
<05203> (8738)_;
they could not well
<03653>
strengthen
<02388> (8762)
their mast
<08650>_,
they could not spread
<06566> (8804)
the sail
<05251>_:
then is the prey
<05706>
of a great
<04766>
spoil
<07998>
divided
<02505> (8795)_;
the lame
<06455>
take
<0962> (8804)
the prey
<0957>_.
{Thy...: or, They have forsaken thy tacklings}
And the inhabitant
<07934>
shall not say
<0559> (8799)_,
I am sick
<02470> (8804)_:
the people
<05971>
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein [shall be] forgiven
<05375> (8803)
[their] iniquity
<05771>_.
Come near
<07126> (8798)_,
ye nations
<01471>_,
to hear
<08085> (8800)_;
and hearken
<07181> (8685)_,
ye people
<03816>_:
let the earth
<0776>
hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and all that is therein
<04393>_;
the world
<08398>_,
and all things that come forth
<06631>
of it. {all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For the indignation
<07110>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] upon all nations
<01471>_,
and [his] fury
<02534>
upon all their armies
<06635>_:
he hath utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
them, he hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
them to the slaughter
<02874>_.
Their slain
<02491>
also shall be cast out
<07993> (8714)_,
and their stink
<0889>
shall come up
<05927> (8799)
out of their carcases
<06297>_,
and the mountains
<02022>
shall be melted
<04549> (8738)
with their blood
<01818>_.
And all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
shall be dissolved
<04743> (8738)_,
and the heavens
<08064>
shall be rolled together
<01556> (8738)
as a scroll
<05612>_:
and all their host
<06635>
shall fall down
<05034> (8799)_,
as the leaf
<05929>
falleth off
<05034> (8800)
from the vine
<01612>_,
and as a falling
<05034> (8802)
[fig] from the fig tree
<08384>_.
For my sword
<02719>
shall be bathed
<07301> (8765)
in heaven
<08064>_:
behold, it shall come down
<03381> (8799)
upon Idumea
<0123>_,
and upon the people
<05971>
of my curse
<02764>_,
to judgment
<04941>_.
The sword
<02719>
of the LORD
<03068>
is filled
<04390> (8804)
with blood
<01818>_,
it is made fat
<01878> (8719)
with fatness
<02459>_,
[and] with the blood
<01818>
of lambs
<03733>
and goats
<06260>_,
with the fat
<02459>
of the kidneys
<03629>
of rams
<0352>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath a sacrifice
<02077>
in Bozrah
<01224>_,
and a great
<01419>
slaughter
<02874>
in the land
<0776>
of Idumea
<0123>_.
And the unicorns
<07214>
shall come down
<03381> (8804)
with them, and the bullocks
<06499>
with the bulls
<047>_;
and their land
<0776>
shall be soaked
<07301> (8765)
with blood
<01818>_,
and their dust
<06083>
made fat
<01878> (8792)
with fatness
<02459>_.
{unicorns: or, rhinocerots} {soaked: or, drunken}
For [it is] the day
<03117>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
vengeance
<05359>_,
[and] the year
<08141>
of recompences
<07966>
for the controversy
<07379>
of Zion
<06726>_.
And the streams
<05158>
thereof shall be turned
<02015> (8738)
into pitch
<02203>_,
and the dust
<06083>
thereof into brimstone
<01614>_,
and the land
<0776>
thereof shall become burning
<01197> (8802)
pitch
<02203>_.
It shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)
night
<03915>
nor day
<03119>_;
the smoke
<06227>
thereof shall go up
<05927> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_:
from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>
it shall lie waste
<02717> (8799)_;
none shall pass through
<05674> (8802)
it for ever
<05331>
and ever
<05331>_.
But the cormorant
<06893>
and the bittern
<07090>
shall possess
<03423> (8804)
it; the owl
<03244>
also and the raven
<06158>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
in it: and he shall stretch out
<05186> (8804)
upon it the line
<06957>
of confusion
<08414>_,
and the stones
<068>
of emptiness
<0922>_.
{cormorant: or, pelican}
They shall call
<07121> (8799)
the nobles
<02715>
thereof to the kingdom
<04410>_,
but none [shall be] there, and all her princes
<08269>
shall be nothing
<0657>_.
And thorns
<05518>
shall come up
<05927> (8804)
in her palaces
<0759>_,
nettles
<07057>
and brambles
<02336>
in the fortresses
<04013>
thereof: and it shall be an habitation
<05116>
of dragons
<08577>_,
[and] a court
<02681>
for owls
<01323> <03284>_.
{owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
The wild beasts of the desert
<06728>
shall also meet
<06298> (8804)
with the wild beasts of the island
<0338>_,
and the satyr
<08163>
shall cry
<07121> (8799)
to his fellow
<07453>_;
the screech owl
<03917>
also shall rest
<07280> (8689)
there, and find
<04672> (8804)
for herself a place of rest
<04494>_.
{The wild...desert: Heb. Ziim} {the wild...island: Heb. Ijim} {screech...: or, night monster}
There shall the great owl
<07091>
make her nest
<07077> (8765)_,
and lay
<04422> (8762)_,
and hatch
<01234> (8804)_,
and gather
<01716> (8804)
under her shadow
<06738>_:
there shall the vultures
<01772>
also be gathered
<06908> (8738)_,
every one
<0802>
with her mate
<07468>_.
Seek ye out
<01875> (8798)
of the book
<05612>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and read
<07121> (8798)_:
no one
<0259>
of these
<02007>
shall fail
<05737> (8738)_,
none
<0802>
shall want
<06485> (8804)
her mate
<07468>_:
for my mouth
<06310>
it hath commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
and his spirit
<07307>
it hath gathered
<06908> (8765)
them.
And he hath cast
<05307> (8689)
the lot
<01486>
for them, and his hand
<03027>
hath divided
<02505> (8765)
it unto them by line
<06957>_:
they shall possess
<03423> (8799)
it for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_,
from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>
shall they dwell
<07931> (8799)
therein.
The wilderness
<04057>
and the solitary place
<06723>
shall be glad
<07797> (8799)
for them; and the desert
<06160>
shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)_,
and blossom
<06524> (8799)
as the rose
<02261>_.
It shall blossom
<06524> (8799)
abundantly
<06524> (8800)_,
and rejoice
<01523> (8799)
even with joy
<01525>
and singing
<07444> (8763)_:
the glory
<03519>
of Lebanon
<03844>
shall be given
<05414> (8738)
unto it, the excellency
<01926>
of Carmel
<03760>
and Sharon
<08289>_,
they shall see
<07200> (8799)
the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] the excellency
<01926>
of our God
<0430>_.
Strengthen
<02388> (8761)
ye the weak
<07504>
hands
<03027>_,
and confirm
<0553> (8761)
the feeble
<03782> (8802)
knees
<01290>_.
Say
<0559> (8798)
to them [that are] of a fearful
<04116> (8737)
heart
<03820>_,
Be strong
<02388> (8798)_,
fear
<03372> (8799)
not: behold, your God
<0430>
will come
<0935> (8799)
[with] vengeance
<05359>_,
[even] God
<0430>
[with] a recompence
<01576>_;
he will come
<0935> (8799)
and save
<03467> (8686)
you. {fearful: Heb. hasty}
Then the eyes
<05869>
of the blind
<05787>
shall be opened
<06491> (8735)_,
and the ears
<0241>
of the deaf
<02795>
shall be unstopped
<06605> (8735)_.
Then shall the lame
<06455>
[man] leap
<01801> (8762)
as an hart
<0354>_,
and the tongue
<03956>
of the dumb
<0483>
sing
<07442> (8799)_:
for in the wilderness
<04057>
shall waters
<04325>
break out
<01234> (8738)_,
and streams
<05158>
in the desert
<06160>_.
And the parched ground
<08273>
shall become a pool
<098>_,
and the thirsty land
<06774>
springs
<04002>
of water
<04325>_:
in the habitation
<05116>
of dragons
<08577>_,
where each lay
<07258>_,
[shall be] grass
<02682>
with reeds
<07070>
and rushes
<01573>_.
{grass...: or, a court for reeds, etc}
And an highway
<04547>
shall be there, and a way
<01870>_,
and it shall be called
<07121> (8735)
The way
<01870>
of holiness
<06944>_;
the unclean
<02931>
shall not pass over
<05674> (8799)
it; but it [shall be] for those: the wayfaring men
<01980> (8802)_,
though fools
<0191>_,
shall not err
<08582> (8799)
[therein]. {but...: or, for he shall be with them}
No lion
<0738>
shall be there, nor [any] ravenous
<06530>
beast
<02416>
shall go up
<05927> (8799)
thereon, it shall not be found
<04672> (8735)
there; but the redeemed
<01350> (8803)
shall walk
<01980> (8804)
[there]:
And the ransomed
<06299> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>
shall return
<07725> (8799)_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
to Zion
<06726>
with songs
<07440>
and everlasting
<05769>
joy
<08057>
upon their heads
<07218>_:
they shall obtain
<05381> (8686)
joy
<08057>
and gladness
<08342>_,
and sorrow
<03015>
and sighing
<0585>
shall flee away
<05127> (8804)_.
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>_,
[that] Sennacherib
<05576>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
came up
<05927> (8804)
against all the defenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and took
<08610> (8799)
them.
And the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Rabshakeh
<07262>
from Lachish
<03923>
to Jerusalem
<03389>
unto king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>
with a great
<03515>
army
<02426>_.
And he stood
<05975> (8799)
by the conduit
<08585>
of the upper
<05945>
pool
<01295>
in the highway
<04546>
of the fuller's
<03526> (8801)
field
<07704>_.
Then came forth
<03318> (8799)
unto him Eliakim
<0471>_,
Hilkiah's
<02518>
son
<01121>_,
which was over the house
<01004>_,
and Shebna
<07644>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and Joah
<03098>_,
Asaph's
<0623>
son
<01121>_,
the recorder
<02142> (8688)_.
{scribe: or, secretary}
And Rabshakeh
<07262>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Say
<0559> (8798)
ye now to Hezekiah
<02396>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the great
<01419>
king
<04428>_,
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
What confidence
<0986>
[is] this wherein thou trustest
<0982> (8804)_?
I say
<0559> (8804)_,
[sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain
<08193>
words
<01697>)
[I have] counsel
<06098>
and strength
<01369>
for war
<04421>_:
now on whom dost thou trust
<0982> (8804)_,
that thou rebellest
<04775> (8804)
against me? {vain...: Heb. a word of lips} {I have...: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}
Lo, thou trustest
<0982> (8804)
in the staff
<04938>
of this broken
<07533> (8803)
reed
<07070>_,
on Egypt
<04714>_;
whereon if a man
<0376>
lean
<05564> (8735)_,
it will go
<0935> (8804)
into his hand
<03709>_,
and pierce
<05344> (8804)
it: so [is] Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
to all that trust
<0982> (8802)
in him.
But if thou say
<0559> (8799)
to me, We trust
<0982> (8804)
in the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_:
[is it] not he, whose high places
<01116>
and whose altars
<04196>
Hezekiah
<02396>
hath taken away
<05493> (8689)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Judah
<03063>
and to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Ye shall worship
<07812> (8691)
before
<06440>
this altar
<04196>_?
Now therefore give pledges
<06148> (8690)_,
I pray thee, to my master
<0113>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and I will give
<05414> (8799)
thee two thousand
<0505>
horses
<05483>_,
if thou be able
<03201> (8799)
on thy part to set
<05414> (8800)
riders
<07392> (8802)
upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}
How then wilt thou turn away
<07725> (8686)
the face
<06440>
of one
<0259>
captain
<06346>
of the least
<06996>
of my master's
<0113>
servants
<05650>_,
and put thy trust
<0982> (8799)
on Egypt
<04714>
for chariots
<07393>
and for horsemen
<06571>_?
And am I now come up
<05927> (8804)
without
<01107>
the LORD
<03068>
against this land
<0776>
to destroy
<07843> (8687)
it? the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Go up
<05927> (8798)
against this land
<0776>_,
and destroy
<07843> (8685)
it.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Eliakim
<0471>
and Shebna
<07644>
and Joah
<03098>
unto Rabshakeh
<07262>_,
Speak
<01696> (8761)_,
I pray thee, unto thy servants
<05650>
in the Syrian language
<0762>_;
for we understand
<08085> (8802)
[it]: and speak
<01696> (8762)
not to us in the Jews' language
<03066>_,
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>
that [are] on the wall
<02346>_.
But Rabshakeh
<07262>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hath my master
<0113>
sent
<07971> (8804)
me to thy master
<0113>
and to thee to speak
<01696> (8763)
these words
<01697>_?
[hath he] not [sent me] to the men
<0582>
that sit
<03427> (8802)
upon the wall
<02346>_,
that they may eat
<0398> (8800)
their own dung
<02716> (8676) <06675>_,
and drink
<08354> (8800)
their own piss
<04325> <07272> (8675) <07890>
with you?
Then Rabshakeh
<07262>
stood
<05975> (8799)_,
and cried
<07121> (8799)
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>
in the Jews' language
<03066>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the words
<01697>
of the great
<01419>
king
<04428>_,
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
Let not Hezekiah
<02396>
deceive
<05377> (8686)
you: for he shall not be able
<03201> (8799)
to deliver
<05337> (8687)
you.
Neither let Hezekiah
<02396>
make you trust
<0982> (8686)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
will surely
<05337> (8687)
deliver
<05337> (8686)
us: this city
<05892>
shall not be delivered
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
Hearken
<08085> (8799)
not to Hezekiah
<02396>_:
for thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
Make
<06213> (8798)
[an agreement] with me [by] a present
<01293>_,
and come out
<03318> (8798)
to me: and eat
<0398> (8798)
ye every one
<0376>
of his vine
<01612>_,
and every one
<0376>
of his fig tree
<08384>_,
and drink
<08354> (8798)
ye every one
<0376>
the waters
<04325>
of his own cistern
<0953>_;
{Make...: or, Seek my favour by a present: Heb. Make with me a blessing}
Until I come
<0935> (8800)
and take you away
<03947> (8804)
to a land
<0776>
like your own land
<0776>_,
a land
<0776>
of corn
<01715>
and wine
<08492>_,
a land
<0776>
of bread
<03899>
and vineyards
<03754>_.
[Beware] lest Hezekiah
<02396>
persuade
<05496> (8686)
you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
will deliver
<05337> (8686)
us. Hath any
<0376>
of the gods
<0430>
of the nations
<01471>
delivered
<05337> (8689)
his land
<0776>
out of the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_?
Where [are] the gods
<0430>
of Hamath
<02574>
and Arphad
<0774>_?
where [are] the gods
<0430>
of Sepharvaim
<05617>_?
and have they delivered
<05337> (8689)
Samaria
<08111>
out of my hand
<03027>_?
Who [are they] among all the gods
<0430>
of these lands
<0776>_,
that have delivered
<05337> (8689)
their land
<0776>
out of my hand
<03027>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
should deliver
<05337> (8686)
Jerusalem
<03389>
out of my hand
<03027>_?
But they held their peace
<02790> (8686)_,
and answered
<06030> (8804)
him not a word
<01697>_:
for the king's
<04428>
commandment
<04687>
was, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Answer
<06030> (8799)
him not.
Then came
<0935> (8799)
Eliakim
<0471>_,
the son
<01121>
of Hilkiah
<02518>_,
that [was] over the household
<01004>_,
and Shebna
<07644>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and Joah
<03098>_,
the son
<01121>
of Asaph
<0623>_,
the recorder
<02142> (8688)_,
to Hezekiah
<02396>
with [their] clothes
<0899>
rent
<07167> (8803)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him the words
<01697>
of Rabshakeh
<07262>_.
And it came to pass, when king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>
heard
<08085> (8800)
[it], that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_,
and covered
<03680> (8691)
himself with sackcloth
<08242>_,
and went
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And he sent
<07971> (8799)
Eliakim
<0471>_,
who [was] over the household
<01004>_,
and Shebna
<07644>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and the elders
<02205>
of the priests
<03548>
covered
<03680> (8693)
with sackcloth
<08242>_,
unto Isaiah
<03470>
the prophet
<05030>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Hezekiah
<02396>_,
This day
<03117>
[is] a day
<03117>
of trouble
<06869>_,
and of rebuke
<08433>_,
and of blasphemy
<05007>_:
for the children
<01121>
are come
<0935> (8804)
to the birth
<04866>_,
and [there is] not strength
<03581>
to bring forth
<03205> (8800)_.
{blasphemy: or, provocation}
It may be the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
will hear
<08085> (8799)
the words
<01697>
of Rabshakeh
<07262>_,
whom the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
his master
<0113>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
to reproach
<02778> (8763)
the living
<02416>
God
<0430>_,
and will reprove
<03198> (8689)
the words
<01697>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)_:
wherefore lift up
<05375> (8804)
[thy] prayer
<08605>
for the remnant
<07611>
that is left
<04672> (8737)_.
{left: Heb. found}
So the servants
<05650>
of king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Isaiah
<03470>_.
And Isaiah
<03470>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
unto your master
<0113>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of
<06440>
the words
<01697>
that thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,
wherewith the servants
<05288>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
have blasphemed
<01442> (8765)
me.
Behold, I will send
<05414> (8802)
a blast
<07307>
upon him, and he shall hear
<08085> (8804)
a rumour
<08052>_,
and return
<07725> (8804)
to his own land
<0776>_;
and I will cause him to fall
<05307> (8689)
by the sword
<02719>
in his own land
<0776>_.
{send...: or, put a spirit into him}
So Rabshakeh
<07262>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
warring
<03898> (8737)
against Libnah
<03841>_:
for he had heard
<08085> (8804)
that he was departed
<05265> (8804)
from Lachish
<03923>_.
And he heard
<08085> (8799)
say
<0559> (8800)
concerning Tirhakah
<08640>
king
<04428>
of Ethiopia
<03568>_,
He is come forth
<03318> (8804)
to make war
<03898> (8736)
with thee. And when he heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], he sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to Hezekiah
<02396>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus shall ye speak
<0559> (8799)
to Hezekiah
<02396>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let not thy God
<0430>_,
in whom thou trustest
<0982> (8802)_,
deceive
<05377> (8686)
thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Jerusalem
<03389>
shall not be given
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
Behold, thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)
what the kings
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
have done
<06213> (8804)
to all lands
<0776>
by destroying them utterly
<02763> (8687)_;
and shalt thou be delivered
<05337> (8735)_?
Have the gods
<0430>
of the nations
<01471>
delivered
<05337> (8689)
them which my fathers
<01>
have destroyed
<07843> (8689)_,
[as] Gozan
<01470>_,
and Haran
<02771>_,
and Rezeph
<07530>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Eden
<05729>
which [were] in Telassar
<08515>_?
Where [is] the king
<04428>
of Hamath
<02574>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Arphad
<0774>_,
and the king
<04428>
of the city
<05892>
of Sepharvaim
<05617>_,
Hena
<02012>_,
and Ivah
<05755>_?
And Hezekiah
<02396>
received
<03947> (8799)
the letter
<05612>
from the hand
<03027>
of the messengers
<04397>_,
and read
<07121> (8799)
it: and Hezekiah
<02396>
went up
<05927> (8799)
unto the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and spread
<06566> (8799)
it before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And Hezekiah
<02396>
prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
O LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that dwellest
<03427> (8802)
[between] the cherubims
<03742>_,
thou [art] the God
<0430>_,
[even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>_:
thou hast made
<06213> (8804)
heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_.
Incline
<05186> (8685)
thine ear
<0241>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)_;
open
<06491> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)_:
and hear
<08085> (8798)
all the words
<01697>
of Sennacherib
<05576>_,
which hath sent
<07971> (8804)
to reproach
<02778> (8763)
the living
<02416>
God
<0430>_.
Of a truth
<0551>_,
LORD
<03068>_,
the kings
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
have laid waste
<02717> (8689)
all the nations
<0776>_,
and their countries
<0776>_,
{nations: Heb. lands}
And have cast
<05414> (8800)
their gods
<0430>
into the fire
<0784>_:
for they [were] no gods
<0430>_,
but the work
<04639>
of men's
<0120>
hands
<03027>_,
wood
<06086>
and stone
<068>_:
therefore they have destroyed
<06> (8762)
them. {cast: Heb. given}
Now therefore, O LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
save
<03467> (8685)
us from his hand
<03027>_,
that all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>
may know
<03045> (8799)
that thou [art] the LORD
<03068>_,
[even] thou only.
Then Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
sent
<07971> (8799)
unto Hezekiah
<02396>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Whereas thou hast prayed
<06419> (8694)
to me against Sennacherib
<05576>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_:
This [is] the word
<01697>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning him; The virgin
<01330>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
hath despised
<0959> (8804)
thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn;
<03932> (8804)
the daughter
<01323>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
hath shaken
<05128> (8689)
her head
<07218>
at thee
<0310>_.
Whom hast thou reproached
<02778> (8765)
and blasphemed
<01442> (8765)_?
and against whom hast thou exalted
<07311> (8689)
[thy] voice
<06963>_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
thine eyes
<05869>
on high
<04791>_?
[even] against the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
By
<03027>
thy servants
<05650>
hast thou reproached
<02778> (8765)
the Lord
<0136>_,
and hast said
<0559> (8799)_,
By the multitude
<07230>
of my chariots
<07393>
am I come up
<05927> (8804)
to the height
<04791>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
to the sides
<03411>
of Lebanon
<03844>_;
and I will cut down
<03772> (8799)
the tall
<06967>
cedars
<0730>
thereof, [and] the choice
<04005>
fir trees
<01265>
thereof: and I will enter
<0935> (8799)
into the height
<04791>
of his border
<07093>_,
[and] the forest
<03293>
of his Carmel
<03760>_.
{By thy...: Heb. By the hand of thy servants} {the tall...: Heb. the tallness of the cedars thereof and the choice of the fir trees thereof} {the forest...: or, the forest and his fruitful field}
I have digged
<06979> (8804)_,
and drunk
<08354> (8804)
water
<04325>_;
and with the sole
<03709>
of my feet
<06471>
have I dried up
<02717> (8686)
all the rivers
<02975>
of the besieged places
<04693>_.
{besieged: or, fenced and closed}
Hast thou not heard
<08085> (8804)
long ago
<07350>_,
[how] I have done
<06213> (8804)
it; [and] of ancient
<06924>
times
<03117>_,
that I have formed
<03335> (8804)
it? now have I brought
<0935> (8689)
it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste
<07582> (8687)
defenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>
[into] ruinous
<05327> (8737)
heaps
<01530>_.
{Hast...: or, Hast thou not heard how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and defenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}
Therefore their inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
[were] of small
<07116>
power
<03027>_,
they were dismayed
<02865> (8804)
and confounded
<0954> (8804)_:
they were [as] the grass
<06212>
of the field
<07704>_,
and [as] the green
<03419>
herb
<01877>_,
[as] the grass
<02682>
on the housetops
<01406>_,
and [as corn] blasted
<07709>
before
<06440>
it be grown up
<07054>_.
{of small...: Heb. short of hand}
But I know
<03045> (8804)
thy abode
<03427> (8800)_,
and thy going out
<03318> (8800)_,
and thy coming in
<0935> (8800)_,
and thy rage
<07264> (8692)
against me. {abode: or, sitting}
Because thy rage
<07264> (8692)
against me, and thy tumult
<07600>_,
is come up
<05927> (8804)
into mine ears
<0241>_,
therefore will I put
<07760> (8804)
my hook
<02397>
in thy nose
<0639>_,
and my bridle
<04964>
in thy lips
<08193>_,
and I will turn thee back
<07725> (8689)
by the way
<01870>
by which thou camest
<0935> (8804)_.
And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>
unto thee, Ye shall eat
<0398> (8800)
[this] year
<08141>
such as groweth
<05599>
of itself; and the second
<08145>
year
<08141>
that which springeth
<07823>
of the same: and in the third
<07992>
year
<08141>
sow
<02232> (8798)
ye, and reap
<07114> (8798)_,
and plant
<05193> (8798)
vineyards
<03754>_,
and eat
<0398> (8798)
the fruit
<06529>
thereof.
And the remnant
<07604> (8737)
that is escaped
<06413>
of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
shall again
<03254> (8804)
take root
<08328>
downward
<04295>_,
and bear
<06213> (8804)
fruit
<06529>
upward
<04605>_:
{the remnant...: Heb. the escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}
For out of Jerusalem
<03389>
shall go forth
<03318> (8799)
a remnant
<07611>_,
and they that escape
<06413>
out of mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_:
the zeal
<07068>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall do
<06213> (8799)
this. {they...: Heb. the escaping}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
concerning the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
He shall not come
<0935> (8799)
into this city
<05892>_,
nor shoot
<03384> (8686)
an arrow
<02671>
there, nor come before
<06923> (8762)
it with shields
<04043>_,
nor cast
<08210> (8799)
a bank
<05550>
against it.
By the way
<01870>
that he came
<0935> (8804)_,
by the same shall he return
<07725> (8799)_,
and shall not come
<0935> (8799)
into this city
<05892>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
For I will defend
<01598> (8804)
this city
<05892>
to save
<03467> (8687)
it for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>
David's
<01732>
sake.
Then the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
went forth
<03318> (8799)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
in the camp
<04264>
of the Assyrians
<0804>
a hundred
<03967>
and fourscore
<08084>
and five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>_:
and when they arose early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
behold, they [were] all dead
<04191> (8801)
corpses
<06297>_.
So Sennacherib
<05576>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
departed
<05265> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
and returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
at Nineveh
<05210>_.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
<07812> (8693)
in the house
<01004>
of Nisroch
<05268>
his god
<0430>_,
that Adrammelech
<0152>
and Sharezer
<08272>
his sons
<01121>
smote
<05221> (8689)
him with the sword
<02719>_;
and they escaped
<04422> (8738)
into the land
<0776>
of Armenia
<0780>_:
and Esarhaddon
<0634>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}
In those days
<03117>
was Hezekiah
<02396>
sick
<02470> (8804)
unto death
<04191> (8800)_.
And Isaiah
<03470>
the prophet
<05030>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Set thine house
<01004>
in order
<06680> (8761)_:
for thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,
and not live
<02421> (8799)_.
{Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house}
Then Hezekiah
<02396>
turned
<05437> (8686)
his face
<06440>
toward the wall
<07023>_,
and prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
Remember
<02142> (8798)
now, O LORD
<03068>_,
I beseech
<0577>
thee, how I have walked
<01980> (8694)
before
<06440>
thee in truth
<0571>
and with a perfect
<08003>
heart
<03820>_,
and have done
<06213> (8804)
[that which is] good
<02896>
in thy sight
<05869>_.
And Hezekiah
<02396>
wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>
sore
<01419>_.
{sore: Heb. with great weeping}
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
to Isaiah
<03470>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<01980> (8800)_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
to Hezekiah
<02396>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of David
<01732>
thy father
<01>_,
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
thy prayer
<08605>_,
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
thy tears
<01832>_:
behold, I will add
<03254> (8802)
unto thy days
<03117>
fifteen
<02568> <06240>
years
<08141>_.
And I will deliver
<05337> (8686)
thee and this city
<05892>
out of the hand
<03709>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_:
and I will defend
<01598> (8804)
this city
<05892>_.
And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>
unto thee from the LORD
<03068>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
will do
<06213> (8799)
this thing
<01697>
that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_;
Behold, I will bring again
<07725> (8688)
the shadow
<06738>
of the degrees
<04609>_,
which is gone down
<03381> (8804)
in the sun
<08121>
dial
<04609>
of Ahaz
<0271>_,
ten
<06235>
degrees
<04609>
backward
<0322>_.
So the sun
<08121>
returned
<07725> (8799)
ten
<06235>
degrees
<04609>_,
by which degrees
<04609>
it was gone down
<03381> (8804)_.
{sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun}
The writing
<04385>
of Hezekiah
<02396>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
when he had been sick
<02470> (8800)_,
and was recovered
<02421> (8799)
of his sickness
<02483>_:
I said
<0559> (8804)
in the cutting off
<01824>
of my days
<03117>_,
I shall go
<03212> (8799)
to the gates
<08179>
of the grave
<07585>_:
I am deprived
<06485> (8795)
of the residue
<03499>
of my years
<08141>_.
I said
<0559> (8804)_,
I shall not see
<07200> (8799)
the LORD
<03050>_,
[even] the LORD
<03050>_,
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_:
I shall behold
<05027> (8686)
man
<0120>
no more with the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the world
<02309>_.
Mine age
<01755>
is departed
<05265> (8738)_,
and is removed
<01540> (8738)
from me as a shepherd's
<07473>
tent
<0168>_:
I have cut off
<07088> (8765)
like a weaver
<0707> (8802)
my life
<02416>_:
he will cut me off
<01214> (8762)
with pining sickness
<01803>_:
from day
<03117>
[even] to night
<03915>
wilt thou make an end
<07999> (8686)
of me. {with...: or, from the thrum}
I reckoned
<07737> (8765)
till morning
<01242>_,
[that], as a lion
<0738>_,
so will he break
<07665> (8762)
all my bones
<06106>_:
from day
<03117>
[even] to night
<03915>
wilt thou make an end
<07999> (8686)
of me.
Like a crane
<05483>
[or] a swallow
<05693>_,
so did I chatter
<06850> (8770)_:
I did mourn
<01897> (8799)
as a dove
<03123>_:
mine eyes
<05869>
fail
<01809> (8804)
[with looking] upward
<04791>_:
O LORD
<03068>_,
I am oppressed
<06234>_;
undertake
<06148> (8798)
for me. {undertake...: or, ease me}
What shall I say
<01696> (8762)_?
he hath both spoken
<0559> (8804)
unto me, and himself hath done
<06213> (8804)
[it]: I shall go softly
<01718> (8691)
all my years
<08141>
in the bitterness
<04751>
of my soul
<05315>_.
O Lord
<0136>_,
by these [things men] live
<02421> (8799)_,
and in all these [things is] the life
<02416>
of my spirit
<07307>_:
so wilt thou recover
<02492> (8686)
me, and make me to live
<02421> (8685)_.
Behold, for peace
<07965>
I had great bitterness
<04751> <04843> (8804)_:
but thou hast in love
<02836> (8804)
to my soul
<05315>
[delivered it] from the pit
<07845>
of corruption
<01097>_:
for thou hast cast
<07993> (8689)
all my sins
<02399>
behind
<0310>
thy back
<01460>_.
{for peace...: or, on my peace came great bitterness} {thou hast in...: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit}
For the grave
<07585>
cannot praise
<03034> (8686)
thee, death
<04194>
can [not] celebrate
<01984> (8762)
thee: they that go down
<03381> (8802)
into the pit
<0953>
cannot hope
<07663> (8762)
for thy truth
<0571>_.
The living
<02416>_,
the living
<02416>_,
he shall praise
<03034> (8686)
thee, as I [do] this day
<03117>_:
the father
<01>
to the children
<01121>
shall make known
<03045> (8686)
thy truth
<0571>_.
The LORD
<03068>
[was ready] to save
<03467> (8687)
me: therefore we will sing my songs
<05058>
to the stringed instruments
<05059> (8762)
all the days
<03117>
of our life
<02416>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
For Isaiah
<03470>
had said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let them take
<05375> (8799)
a lump
<01690>
of figs
<08384>_,
and lay [it] for a plaister
<04799> (8799)
upon the boil
<07822>_,
and he shall recover
<02421> (8799)_.
Hezekiah
<02396>
also had said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [is] the sign
<0226>
that I shall go up
<05927> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
At that time
<06256>
Merodachbaladan
<04757>_,
the son
<01121>
of Baladan
<01081>_,
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
sent
<07971> (8804)
letters
<05612>
and a present
<04503>
to Hezekiah
<02396>_:
for he had heard
<08085> (8799)
that he had been sick
<02470> (8804)_,
and was recovered
<02388> (8799)_.
And Hezekiah
<02396>
was glad
<08055> (8799)
of them, and shewed
<07200> (8686)
them the house
<01004>
of his precious things
<05238>_,
the silver
<03701>_,
and the gold
<02091>_,
and the spices
<01314>_,
and the precious
<02896>
ointment
<08081>_,
and all the house
<01004>
of his armour
<03627>_,
and all that was found
<04672> (8738)
in his treasures
<0214>_:
there was nothing
<01697>
in his house
<01004>_,
nor in all his dominion
<04475>_,
that Hezekiah
<02396>
shewed
<07200> (8689)
them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments}
Then came
<0935> (8799)
Isaiah
<03470>
the prophet
<05030>
unto king
<04428>
Hezekiah
<02396>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What said
<0559> (8804)
these men
<0582>_?
and from whence
<0370>
came
<0935> (8799)
they unto thee? And Hezekiah
<02396>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They are come
<0935> (8804)
from a far
<07350>
country
<0776>
unto me, [even] from Babylon
<0894>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he, What have they seen
<07200> (8804)
in thine house
<01004>_?
And Hezekiah
<02396>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
All that [is] in mine house
<01004>
have they seen
<07200> (8804)_:
there is nothing
<01697>
among my treasures
<0214>
that I have not shewed
<07200> (8689)
them.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Isaiah
<03470>
to Hezekiah
<02396>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_:
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
that all that [is] in thine house
<01004>_,
and [that] which thy fathers
<01>
have laid up in store
<0686> (8804)
until this day
<03117>_,
shall be carried
<05375> (8738)
to Babylon
<0894>_:
nothing
<01697>
shall be left
<03498> (8735)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And of thy sons
<01121>
that shall issue
<03318> (8799)
from thee, which thou shalt beget
<03205> (8686)_,
shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_;
and they shall be eunuchs
<05631>
in the palace
<01964>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Hezekiah
<02396>
to Isaiah
<03470>_,
Good
<02896>
[is] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
He said
<0559> (8799)
moreover, For there shall be peace
<07965>
and truth
<0571>
in my days
<03117>_.
Comfort
<05162> (8761)
ye, comfort
<05162> (8761)
ye my people
<05971>_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
your God
<0430>_.
Speak
<01696> (8761)
ye comfortably
<03820>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and cry
<07121> (8798)
unto her, that her warfare
<06635>
is accomplished
<04390> (8804)_,
that her iniquity
<05771>
is pardoned
<07521> (8738)_:
for she hath received
<03947> (8804)
of the LORD'S
<03068>
hand
<03027>
double
<03718>
for all her sins
<02403>_.
{comfortably: Heb. to the heart} {warfare: or, appointed time}
The voice
<06963>
of him that crieth
<07121> (8802)
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
Prepare
<06437> (8761)
ye the way
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
make straight
<03474> (8761)
in the desert
<06160>
a highway
<04546>
for our God
<0430>_.
Every valley
<01516>
shall be exalted
<05375> (8735)_,
and every mountain
<02022>
and hill
<01389>
shall be made low
<08213> (8799)_:
and the crooked
<06121>
shall be made straight
<04334>_,
and the rough places
<07406>
plain
<01237>_:
{straight: or, a straight place} {plain: or, a plain place}
And the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be revealed
<01540> (8738)_,
and all flesh
<01320>
shall see
<07200> (8804)
[it] together
<03162>_:
for the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
The voice
<06963>
said
<0559> (8802)_,
Cry
<07121> (8798)_.
And he said
<0559> (8804)_,
What shall I cry
<07121> (8799)_?
All flesh
<01320>
[is] grass
<02682>_,
and all the goodliness
<02617>
thereof [is] as the flower
<06731>
of the field
<07704>_:
The grass
<02682>
withereth
<03001> (8804)_,
the flower
<06731>
fadeth
<05034> (8804)_:
because the spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
bloweth
<05380> (8804)
upon it: surely
<0403>
the people
<05971>
[is] grass
<02682>_.
The grass
<02682>
withereth
<03001> (8804)_,
the flower
<06731>
fadeth
<05034> (8804)_:
but the word
<01697>
of our God
<0430>
shall stand
<06965> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_.
O Zion
<06726>_,
that bringest good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,
get thee up
<05927> (8798)
into the high
<01364>
mountain
<02022>_;
O Jerusalem
<03389>_,
that bringest good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,
lift up
<07311> (8685)
thy voice
<06963>
with strength
<03581>_;
lift [it] up
<07311> (8685)_,
be not afraid
<03372> (8799)_;
say
<0559> (8798)
unto the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Behold your God
<0430>_!
{O Zion...: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion} {O Jerusalem...: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem}
Behold, the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
will come
<0935> (8799)
with strong
<02389>
[hand], and his arm
<02220>
shall rule
<04910> (8802)
for him: behold, his reward
<07939>
[is] with him, and his work
<06468>
before
<06440>
him. {with strong...: or, against the strong} {his work: or, recompence for his work}
He shall feed
<07462> (8799)
his flock
<05739>
like a shepherd
<07462> (8802)_:
he shall gather
<06908> (8762)
the lambs
<02922>
with his arm
<02220>_,
and carry
<05375> (8799)
[them] in his bosom
<02436>_,
[and] shall gently lead
<05095> (8762)
those that are with young
<05763> (8802)_.
{that...: or, that give suck}
Who hath measured
<04058> (8804)
the waters
<04325>
in the hollow of his hand
<08168>_,
and meted out
<08505> (8765)
heaven
<08064>
with the span
<02239>_,
and comprehended
<03557> (8804)
the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>
in a measure
<07991>_,
and weighed
<08254> (8804)
the mountains
<02022>
in scales
<06425>_,
and the hills
<01389>
in a balance
<03976>_?
{a measure: Heb. a tierce}
Who hath directed
<08505> (8765)
the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
or [being] his counsellor
<0376> <06098>
hath taught
<03045> (8686)
him? {his...: Heb. man of his counsel}
With whom took he counsel
<03289> (8738)_,
and [who] instructed
<0995> (8799)
him, and taught
<03925> (8762)
him in the path
<0734>
of judgment
<04941>_,
and taught
<03925> (8762)
him knowledge
<01847>_,
and shewed
<03045> (8686)
to him the way
<01870>
of understanding
<08394>_?
{instructed...: Heb. made him understand} {understanding: Heb. understandings?}
Behold, the nations
<01471>
[are] as a drop
<04752>
of a bucket
<01805>_,
and are counted
<02803> (8738)
as the small dust
<07834>
of the balance
<03976>_:
behold, he taketh up
<05190> (8799)
the isles
<0339>
as a very little thing
<01851>_.
And Lebanon
<03844>
[is] not
<0369>
sufficient
<01767>
to burn
<01197> (8763)_,
nor the beasts
<02416>
thereof sufficient
<01767>
for a burnt offering
<05930>_.
All nations
<01471>
before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted
<02803> (8738)
to him less than nothing
<0657>_,
and vanity
<08414>_.
To whom then will ye liken
<01819> (8762)
God
<0410>_?
or what likeness
<01823>
will ye compare
<06186> (8799)
unto him?
The workman
<02796>
melteth
<05258> (8804)
a graven image
<06459>_,
and the goldsmith
<06884> (8802)
spreadeth
<07554> (8762)
it over with gold
<02091>_,
and casteth
<06884> (8802)
silver
<03701>
chains
<07577>_.
He that [is] so impoverished
<05533> (8794) (8676) <05534> (8765)
that he hath no oblation
<08641>
chooseth
<0977> (8799)
a tree
<06086>
[that] will not rot
<07537> (8799)_;
he seeketh
<01245> (8762)
unto him a cunning
<02450>
workman
<02796>
to prepare
<03559> (8687)
a graven image
<06459>_,
[that] shall not be moved
<04131> (8735)_.
{is so...: Heb. is poor of oblation}
Have ye not known
<03045> (8799)_?
have ye not heard
<08085> (8799)_?
hath it not been told
<05046> (8717)
you from the beginning
<07218>_?
have ye not understood
<0995> (8689)
from the foundations
<04146>
of the earth
<0776>_?
[It is] he that sitteth
<03427> (8802)
upon the circle
<02329>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof [are] as grasshoppers
<02284>_;
that stretcheth out
<05186> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>
as a curtain
<01852>_,
and spreadeth them out
<04969> (8799)
as a tent
<0168>
to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_:
{It is...: or, Him that}
That bringeth
<05414> (8802)
the princes
<07336> (8802)
to nothing; he maketh
<06213> (8804)
the judges
<08199> (8802)
of the earth
<0776>
as vanity
<08414>_.
Yea, they shall not be planted
<05193> (8738)_;
yea, they shall not be sown
<02232> (8795)_:
yea, their stock
<01503>
shall not take root
<08327> (8782)
in the earth
<0776>_:
and he shall also blow
<05398> (8804)
upon them, and they shall wither
<03001> (8799)_,
and the whirlwind
<05591>
shall take
<05375> (8799)
them away as stubble
<07179>_.
To whom then will ye liken
<01819> (8762)
me, or shall I be equal
<07737> (8799)_?
saith
<0559> (8799)
the Holy One
<06918>_.
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
your eyes
<05869>
on high
<04791>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
who hath created
<01254> (8804)
these [things], that bringeth out
<03318> (8688)
their host
<06635>
by number
<04557>_:
he calleth
<07121> (8799)
them all by names
<08034>
by the greatness
<07230>
of his might
<0202>_,
for that [he is] strong
<0533>
in power
<03581>_;
not one
<0376>
faileth
<05737> (8738)_.
Why sayest
<0559> (8799)
thou, O Jacob
<03290>_,
and speakest
<01696> (8762)_,
O Israel
<03478>_,
My way
<01870>
is hid
<05641> (8738)
from the LORD
<03068>_,
and my judgment
<04941>
is passed over
<05674> (8799)
from my God
<0430>_?
Hast thou not known
<03045> (8804)_?
hast thou not heard
<08085> (8804)_,
[that] the everlasting
<05769>
God
<0430>_,
the LORD
<03068>_,
the Creator
<01254> (8802)
of the ends
<07098>
of the earth
<0776>_,
fainteth
<03286> (8799)
not, neither is weary
<03021> (8799)_?
[there is] no searching
<02714>
of his understanding
<08394>_.
He giveth
<05414> (8802)
power
<03581>
to the faint
<03287>_;
and to [them that have] no might
<0202>
he increaseth
<07235> (8686)
strength
<06109>_.
Even the youths
<05288>
shall faint
<03286> (8799)
and be weary
<03021> (8799)_,
and the young men
<0970>
shall utterly
<03782> (8800)
fall
<03782> (8735)_:
But they that wait
<06960> (8802)
upon the LORD
<03068>
shall renew
<02498> (8686)
[their] strength
<03581>_;
they shall mount up
<05927> (8799)
with wings
<083>
as eagles
<05404>_;
they shall run
<07323> (8799)_,
and not be weary
<03021> (8799)_;
[and] they shall walk
<03212> (8799)_,
and not faint
<03286> (8799)_.
{renew: Heb. change}
Keep silence
<02790> (8685)
before me, O islands
<0339>_;
and let the people
<03816>
renew
<02498> (8686)
[their] strength
<03581>_:
let them come near
<05066> (8799)_;
then let them speak
<01696> (8762)_:
let us come near
<07126> (8799)
together
<03162>
to judgment
<04941>_.
Who raised up
<05782> (8689)
the righteous
<06664>
[man] from the east
<04217>_,
called
<07121> (8799)
him to his foot
<07272>_,
gave
<05414> (8799)
the nations
<01471>
before
<06440>
him, and made [him] rule
<07287> (8686)
over kings
<04428>_?
he gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] as the dust
<06083>
to his sword
<02719>_,
[and] as driven
<05086> (8737)
stubble
<07179>
to his bow
<07198>_.
{the righteous...: Heb. righteousness}
He pursued
<07291> (8799)
them, [and] passed
<05674> (8799)
safely
<07965>_;
[even] by the way
<0734>
[that] he had not gone
<0935> (8799)
with his feet
<07272>_.
{safely: Heb. in peace}
Who hath wrought
<06466> (8804)
and done
<06213> (8804)
[it], calling
<07121> (8802)
the generations
<01755>
from the beginning
<07218>_?
I the LORD
<03068>_,
the first
<07223>_,
and with the last
<0314>_;
I [am] he.
The isles
<0339>
saw
<07200> (8804)
[it], and feared
<03372> (8799)_;
the ends
<07098>
of the earth
<0776>
were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,
drew near
<07126> (8804)_,
and came
<0857> (8799)_.
They helped
<05826> (8799)
every one
<0376>
his neighbour
<07453>_;
and [every one] said
<0559> (8799)
to his brother
<0251>_,
Be of good courage
<02388> (8798)_.
{Be...: Heb. Be strong}
So the carpenter
<02796>
encouraged
<02388> (8762)
the goldsmith
<06884> (8802)_,
[and] he that smootheth
<02505> (8688)
[with] the hammer
<06360>
him that smote
<01986> (8802)
the anvil
<06471>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)_,
It [is] ready
<02896>
for the sodering
<01694>_:
and he fastened
<02388> (8762)
it with nails
<04548>_,
[that] it should not be moved
<04131> (8735)_.
{goldsmith: or, founder} {him...: or, the smiting} {saying...: or, saying of the soder, It is good}
But thou, Israel
<03478>_,
[art] my servant
<05650>_,
Jacob
<03290>
whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
the seed
<02233>
of Abraham
<085>
my friend
<0157> (8802)_.
[Thou] whom I have taken
<02388> (8689)
from the ends
<07098>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and called
<07121> (8804)
thee from the chief men
<0678>
thereof, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, Thou [art] my servant
<05650>_;
I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
thee, and not cast thee away
<03988> (8804)_.
Fear
<03372> (8799)
thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed
<08159> (8691)_;
for I [am] thy God
<0430>_:
I will strengthen
<0553> (8765)
thee; yea, I will help
<05826> (8804)
thee; yea, I will uphold
<08551> (8804)
thee with the right hand
<03225>
of my righteousness
<06664>_.
Behold, all they that were incensed
<02734> (8737)
against thee shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
and confounded
<03637> (8735)_:
they shall be as nothing; and they
<0582>
that strive
<07379>
with thee shall perish
<06> (8799)_.
{they that strive...: Heb. the men of thy strife}
Thou shalt seek
<01245> (8762)
them, and shalt not find
<04672> (8799)
them, [even] them
<0582>
that contended
<04695>
with thee: they that war
<04421>
against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought
<0657>_.
{them that...: Heb. the men of thy contention} {they...: Heb. the men of thy war}
For I the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
will hold
<02388> (8688)
thy right hand
<03225>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)
unto thee, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; I will help
<05826> (8804)
thee.
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not, thou worm
<08438>
Jacob
<03290>_,
[and] ye men
<04962>
of Israel
<03478>_;
I will help
<05826> (8804)
thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and thy redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{men: or, few men}
Behold, I will make
<07760> (8804)
thee a new
<02319>
sharp
<02742>
threshing
<04173>
instrument having
<01167>
teeth
<06374>_:
thou shalt thresh
<01758> (8799)
the mountains
<02022>_,
and beat [them] small
<01854> (8799)_,
and shalt make
<07760> (8799)
the hills
<01389>
as chaff
<04671>_.
{teeth: Heb. mouths}
Thou shalt fan
<02219> (8799)
them, and the wind
<07307>
shall carry them away
<05375> (8799)_,
and the whirlwind
<05591>
shall scatter
<06327> (8686)
them: and thou shalt rejoice
<01523> (8799)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] shalt glory
<01984> (8691)
in the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
[When] the poor
<06041>
and needy
<034>
seek
<01245> (8764)
water
<04325>_,
and [there is] none, [and] their tongue
<03956>
faileth
<05405> (8804)
for thirst
<06772>_,
I the LORD
<03068>
will hear
<06030> (8799)
them, I the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
will not forsake
<05800> (8799)
them.
I will open
<06605> (8799)
rivers
<05104>
in high places
<08205>_,
and fountains
<04599>
in the midst
<08432>
of the valleys
<01237>_:
I will make
<07760> (8799)
the wilderness
<04057>
a pool
<098>
of water
<04325>_,
and the dry
<06723>
land
<0776>
springs
<04161>
of water
<04325>_.
I will plant
<05414> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>
the cedar
<0730>_,
the shittah tree
<07848>_,
and the myrtle
<01918>_,
and the oil
<08081>
tree
<06086>_;
I will set
<07760> (8799)
in the desert
<06160>
the fir tree
<01265>_,
[and] the pine
<08410>_,
and the box tree
<08391>
together
<03162>_:
That they may see
<07200> (8799)_,
and know
<03045> (8799)_,
and consider
<07760> (8799)_,
and understand
<07919> (8686)
together
<03162>_,
that the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
this, and the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
hath created
<01254> (8804)
it.
Produce
<07126> (8761)
your cause
<07379>_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_;
bring forth
<05066> (8685)
your strong
<06110>
[reasons], saith
<0559> (8799)
the King
<04428>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
{Produce: Heb. Cause to come near}
Let them bring [them] forth
<05066> (8686)_,
and shew
<05046> (8686)
us what shall happen
<07136> (8799)_:
let them shew
<05046> (8685)
the former things
<07223>_,
what they [be], that we may consider
<07760> (8799) <03820>
them, and know
<03045> (8799)
the latter end
<0319>
of them; or declare
<08085> (8685)
us things for to come
<0935> (8802)_.
{consider...: Heb. set our heart upon them}
Shew
<05046> (8685)
the things that are to come
<0857> (8802)
hereafter
<0268>_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)
that ye [are] gods
<0430>_:
yea, do good
<03190> (8686)_,
or do evil
<07489> (8686)_,
that we may be dismayed
<08159> (8691)_,
and behold
<07200> (8799)
[it] together
<03162>_.
Behold, ye [are] of nothing
<0369>_,
and your work
<06467>
of nought
<0659>_:
an abomination
<08441>
[is he that] chooseth
<0977> (8799)
you. {of nothing: or, worse than nothing} {of nought: or, worse than of a viper}
I have raised up
<05782> (8689)
[one] from the north
<06828>_,
and he shall come
<0857> (8799)_:
from the rising
<04217>
of the sun
<08121>
shall he call
<07121> (8799)
upon my name
<08034>_:
and he shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon princes
<05461>
as [upon] morter
<02563>_,
and as the potter
<03335> (8802)
treadeth
<07429> (8799)
clay
<02916>_.
Who hath declared
<05046> (8689)
from the beginning
<07218>_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)_?
and beforetime
<06440>_,
that we may say
<0559> (8799)_,
[He is] righteous
<06662>_?
yea, [there is] none that sheweth
<05046> (8688)_,
yea, [there is] none that declareth
<08085> (8688)_,
yea, [there is] none that heareth
<08085> (8802)
your words
<0561>_.
The first
<07223>
[shall say] to Zion
<06726>_,
Behold
<02009>_,
behold
<02009>
them: and I will give
<05414> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
one that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)_.
For I beheld
<07200> (8799)_,
and [there was] no man
<0376>_;
even among them, and [there was] no counsellor
<03289> (8802)_,
that, when I asked
<07592> (8799)
of them, could answer
<07725> (8686)
a word
<01697>_.
{answer: Heb. return}
Behold, they [are] all vanity
<0205>_;
their works
<04639>
[are] nothing
<0657>_:
their molten images
<05262>
[are] wind
<07307>
and confusion
<08414>_.
Behold my servant
<05650>_,
whom I uphold
<08551> (8799)_;
mine elect
<0972>_,
[in whom] my soul
<05315>
delighteth
<07521> (8804)_;
I have put
<05414> (8804)
my spirit
<07307>
upon him: he shall bring forth
<03318> (8686)
judgment
<04941>
to the Gentiles
<01471>_.
He shall not cry
<06817> (8799)_,
nor lift up
<05375> (8799)_,
nor cause his voice
<06963>
to be heard
<08085> (8686)
in the street
<02351>_.
A bruised
<07533> (8803)
reed
<07070>
shall he not break
<07665> (8799)_,
and the smoking
<03544>
flax
<06594>
shall he not quench
<03518> (8762)_:
he shall bring forth
<03318> (8686)
judgment
<04941>
unto truth
<0571>_.
{smoking: or, dimly burning} {quench: Heb. quench it}
He shall not fail
<03543> (8799)
nor be discouraged
<07533> (8799)_,
till he have set
<07760> (8799)
judgment
<04941>
in the earth
<0776>_:
and the isles
<0339>
shall wait
<03176> (8762)
for his law
<08451>_.
{discouraged: Heb. broken}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
God
<0410>
the LORD
<03068>_,
he that created
<01254> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and stretched them out
<05186> (8802)_;
he that spread forth
<07554> (8802)
the earth
<0776>_,
and that which cometh out
<06631>
of it; he that giveth
<05414> (8802)
breath
<05397>
unto the people
<05971>
upon it, and spirit
<07307>
to them that walk
<01980> (8802)
therein:
I the LORD
<03068>
have called
<07121> (8804)
thee in righteousness
<06664>_,
and will hold
<02388> (8686)
thine hand
<03027>_,
and will keep
<05341> (8799)
thee, and give
<05414> (8799)
thee for a covenant
<01285>
of the people
<05971>_,
for a light
<0216>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_;
To open
<06491> (8800)
the blind
<05787>
eyes
<05869>_,
to bring out
<03318> (8687)
the prisoners
<0616>
from the prison
<04525>_,
[and] them that sit
<03427> (8802)
in darkness
<02822>
out of the prison
<03608>
house
<01004>_.
I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:
that [is] my name
<08034>_:
and my glory
<03519>
will I not give
<05414> (8799)
to another
<0312>_,
neither my praise
<08416>
to graven images
<06456>_.
Behold, the former things
<07223>
are come to pass
<0935> (8804)_,
and new things
<02319>
do I declare
<05046> (8688)_:
before they spring forth
<06779> (8799)
I tell
<08085> (8686)
you of them.
Sing
<07891> (8798)
unto the LORD
<03068>
a new
<02319>
song
<07892>_,
[and] his praise
<08416>
from the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_,
ye that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the sea
<03220>_,
and all that is therein
<04393>_;
the isles
<0339>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof. {all...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
Let the wilderness
<04057>
and the cities
<05892>
thereof lift up
<05375> (8799)
[their voice], the villages
<02691>
[that] Kedar
<06938>
doth inhabit
<03427> (8799)_:
let the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the rock
<05553>
sing
<07442> (8799)_,
let them shout
<06681> (8799)
from the top
<07218>
of the mountains
<02022>_.
Let them give
<07760> (8799)
glory
<03519>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and declare
<05046> (8686)
his praise
<08416>
in the islands
<0339>_.
The LORD
<03068>
shall go forth
<03318> (8799)
as a mighty man
<01368>_,
he shall stir up
<05782> (8686)
jealousy
<07068>
like a man
<0376>
of war
<04421>_:
he shall cry
<07321> (8686)_,
yea, roar
<06873> (8686)_;
he shall prevail
<01396> (8691)
against his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{prevail: or, behave himself mightily}
I have long time
<05769>
holden my peace
<02814> (8689)_;
I have been still
<02790> (8686)_,
[and] refrained
<0662> (8691)
myself: [now] will I cry
<06463> (8799)
like a travailing woman
<03205> (8802)_;
I will destroy
<05395> (8799) (8676) <08074> (8799)
and devour
<07602> (8799)
at once
<03162>_.
{devour: Heb. swallow, or, sup up}
I will make waste
<02717> (8686)
mountains
<02022>
and hills
<01389>_,
and dry up
<03001> (8686)
all their herbs
<06212>_;
and I will make
<07760> (8804)
the rivers
<05104>
islands
<0339>_,
and I will dry up
<03001> (8686)
the pools
<098>_.
And I will bring
<03212> (8689)
the blind
<05787>
by a way
<01870>
[that] they knew
<03045> (8804)
not; I will lead
<01869> (8686)
them in paths
<05410>
[that] they have not known
<03045> (8804)_:
I will make
<07760> (8799)
darkness
<04285>
light
<0216>
before
<06440>
them, and crooked things
<04625>
straight
<04334>_.
These things
<01697>
will I do
<06213> (8804)
unto them, and not forsake
<05800> (8804)
them. {straight: Heb. into straightness}
They shall be turned
<05472> (8738)
back
<0268>_,
they shall be greatly
<01322>
ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,
that trust
<0982> (8802)
in graven images
<06459>_,
that say
<0559> (8802)
to the molten images
<04541>_,
Ye [are] our gods
<0430>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
ye deaf
<02795>_;
and look
<05027> (8685)_,
ye blind
<05787>_,
that ye may see
<07200> (8800)_.
Who [is] blind
<05787>_,
but my servant
<05650>_?
or deaf
<02795>_,
as my messenger
<04397>
[that] I sent
<07971> (8799)_?
who [is] blind
<05787>
as [he that is] perfect
<07999> (8794)_,
and blind
<05787>
as the LORD'S
<03068>
servant
<05650>_?
Seeing
<07200> (8800) (8675) <07200> (8804)
many things
<07227>_,
but thou observest
<08104> (8799)
not; opening
<06491> (8800)
the ears
<0241>_,
but he heareth
<08085> (8799)
not.
The LORD
<03068>
is well pleased
<02654> (8804)
for his righteousness
<06664>_'
sake; he will magnify
<01431> (8686)
the law
<08451>_,
and make [it] honourable
<0142> (8686)_.
{it: or, him}
But this [is] a people
<05971>
robbed
<0962> (8803)
and spoiled
<08154> (8803)_;
[they are] all of them snared
<06351> (8687)
in holes
<02352> (8676) <0970>_,
and they are hid
<02244> (8717)
in prison
<03608>
houses
<01004>_:
they are for a prey
<0957>_,
and none delivereth
<05337> (8688)_;
for a spoil
<04933>_,
and none saith
<0559> (8802)_,
Restore
<07725> (8685)_.
{they are all...: or, in snaring all the young men of them} {for a spoil: Heb. a treading}
Who among you will give ear
<0238> (8686)
to this? [who] will hearken
<07181> (8686)
and hear
<08085> (8799)
for the time to come
<0268>_?
{for...: Heb. for the after time?}
Who gave
<05414> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>
for a spoil
<04933> (8675) <04882>_,
and Israel
<03478>
to the robbers
<0962> (8802)_?
did not the LORD
<03068>_,
he against whom
<02098>
we have sinned
<02398> (8804)_?
for they would
<014> (8804)
not walk
<01980> (8800)
in his ways
<01870>_,
neither were they obedient
<08085> (8804)
unto his law
<08451>_.
Therefore he hath poured
<08210> (8799)
upon him the fury
<02534>
of his anger
<0639>_,
and the strength
<05807>
of battle
<04421>_:
and it hath set him on fire
<03857> (8762)
round about
<05439>_,
yet he knew
<03045> (8804)
not; and it burned
<01197> (8799)
him, yet he laid
<07760> (8799)
[it] not to heart
<03820>_.
But now thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that created
<01254> (8802)
thee, O Jacob
<03290>_,
and he that formed
<03335> (8802)
thee, O Israel
<03478>_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for I have redeemed
<01350> (8804)
thee, I have called
<07121> (8804)
[thee] by thy name
<08034>_;
thou [art] mine.
When thou passest through
<05674> (8799)
the waters
<04325>_,
I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers
<05104>_,
they shall not overflow
<07857> (8799)
thee: when thou walkest
<03212> (8799)
through
<01119>
the fire
<0784>_,
thou shalt not be burned
<03554> (8735)_;
neither shall the flame
<03852>
kindle
<01197> (8799)
upon thee.
For I [am] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)_:
I gave
<05414> (8804)
Egypt
<04714>
[for] thy ransom
<03724>_,
Ethiopia
<03568>
and Seba
<05434>
for thee.
Since thou wast precious
<03365> (8804)
in my sight
<05869>_,
thou hast been honourable
<03513> (8738)_,
and I have loved
<0157> (8804)
thee: therefore will I give
<05414> (8799)
men
<0120>
for thee, and people
<03816>
for thy life
<05315>_.
{life: or, person}
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring
<0935> (8686)
thy seed
<02233>
from the east
<04217>_,
and gather
<06908> (8762)
thee from the west
<04628>_;
I will say
<0559> (8799)
to the north
<06828>_,
Give up
<05414> (8798)_;
and to the south
<08486>_,
Keep not back
<03607> (8799)_:
bring
<0935> (8685)
my sons
<01121>
from far
<07350>_,
and my daughters
<01323>
from the ends
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_;
[Even] every one
<03605>
that is called
<07121> (8737)
by my name
<08034>_:
for I have created
<01254> (8804)
him for my glory
<03519>_,
I have formed
<03335> (8804)
him; yea, I have made
<06213> (8804)
him.
Bring forth
<03318> (8685)
the blind
<05787>
people
<05971>
that have
<03426>
eyes
<05869>_,
and the deaf
<02795>
that have ears
<0241>_.
Let all the nations
<01471>
be gathered
<06908> (8738)
together
<03162>_,
and let the people
<03816>
be assembled
<0622> (8735)_:
who among them can declare
<05046> (8686)
this, and shew
<08085> (8686)
us former things
<07223>_?
let them bring forth
<05414> (8799)
their witnesses
<05707>_,
that they may be justified
<06663> (8799)_:
or let them hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and say
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] truth
<0571>_.
Ye [are] my witnesses
<05707>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and my servant
<05650>
whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_:
that ye may know
<03045> (8799)
and believe
<0539> (8686)
me, and understand
<0995> (8799)
that I [am] he: before
<06440>
me there was no God
<0410>
formed
<03335> (8738)_,
neither shall there be after
<0310>
me. {no...: or, nothing formed of God}
I, [even] I, [am] the LORD
<03068>_;
and beside
<01107>
me [there is] no saviour
<03467> (8688)_.
I have declared
<05046> (8689)_,
and have saved
<03467> (8689)_,
and I have shewed
<08085> (8689)_,
when [there was] no strange
<02114> (8801)
[god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses
<05707>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I [am] God
<0410>_.
Yea, before the day
<03117>
[was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver
<05337> (8688)
out of my hand
<03027>_:
I will work
<06466> (8799)_,
and who shall let
<07725> (8686)
it? {let it: Heb. turn it back?}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
your redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_;
For your sake I have sent
<07971> (8765)
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and have brought down
<03381> (8689)
all their nobles
<01281>_,
and the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
whose cry
<07440>
[is] in the ships
<0591>_.
{nobles: Heb. bars}
I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
your Holy One
<06918>_,
the creator
<01254> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_,
your King
<04428>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which maketh
<05414> (8802)
a way
<01870>
in the sea
<03220>_,
and a path
<05410>
in the mighty
<05794>
waters
<04325>_;
Which bringeth forth
<03318> (8688)
the chariot
<07393>
and horse
<05483>_,
the army
<02428>
and the power
<05808>_;
they shall lie down
<07901> (8799)
together
<03162>_,
they shall not rise
<06965> (8799)_:
they are extinct
<01846> (8804)_,
they are quenched
<03518> (8804)
as tow
<06594>_.
Remember
<02142> (8799)
ye not the former things
<07223>_,
neither consider
<0995> (8709)
the things of old
<06931>_.
Behold, I will do
<06213> (8802)
a new thing
<02319>_;
now it shall spring forth
<06779> (8799)_;
shall ye not know
<03045> (8799)
it? I will even make
<07760> (8799)
a way
<01870>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[and] rivers
<05104>
in the desert
<03452>_.
The beast
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
shall honour
<03513> (8762)
me, the dragons
<08577>
and the owls
<01323> <03284>_:
because I give
<05414> (8804)
waters
<04325>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[and] rivers
<05104>
in the desert
<03452>_,
to give drink
<08248> (8687)
to my people
<05971>_,
my chosen
<0972>_.
{owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
This
<02098>
people
<05971>
have I formed
<03335> (8804)
for myself; they shall shew forth
<05608> (8762)
my praise
<08416>_.
But thou hast not called
<07121> (8804)
upon me, O Jacob
<03290>_;
but thou hast been weary
<03021> (8804)
of me, O Israel
<03478>_.
Thou hast not brought
<0935> (8689)
me the small cattle
<07716>
of thy burnt offerings
<05930>_;
neither hast thou honoured
<03513> (8765)
me with thy sacrifices
<02077>_.
I have not caused thee to serve
<05647> (8689)
with an offering
<04503>_,
nor wearied
<03021> (8689)
thee with incense
<03828>_.
{small...: Heb. lambs, or, kids}
Thou hast bought
<07069> (8804)
me no sweet cane
<07070>
with money
<03701>_,
neither hast thou filled
<07301> (8689)
me with the fat
<02459>
of thy sacrifices
<02077>_:
but thou hast made me to serve
<05647> (8689)
with thy sins
<02403>_,
thou hast wearied
<03021> (8689)
me with thine iniquities
<05771>_.
{filled...: Heb. made me drunk, or, abundantly moistened}
I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out
<04229> (8802)
thy transgressions
<06588>
for mine own sake, and will not remember
<02142> (8799)
thy sins
<02403>_.
Put me in remembrance
<02142> (8685)_:
let us plead
<08199> (8735)
together
<03162>_:
declare
<05608> (8761)
thou, that thou mayest be justified
<06663> (8799)_.
Thy first
<07223>
father
<01>
hath sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
and thy teachers
<03887> (8688)
have transgressed
<06586> (8804)
against me. {teachers: Heb. interpreters}
Therefore I have profaned
<02490> (8762)
the princes
<08269>
of the sanctuary
<06944>_,
and have given
<05414> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
to the curse
<02764>_,
and Israel
<03478>
to reproaches
<01421>_.
{princes...: or, holy princes}
Yet now hear
<08085> (8798)_,
O Jacob
<03290>
my servant
<05650>_;
and Israel
<03478>_,
whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that made
<06213> (8802)
thee, and formed
<03335> (8802)
thee from the womb
<0990>_,
[which] will help
<05826> (8799)
thee; Fear
<03372> (8799)
not, O Jacob
<03290>_,
my servant
<05650>_;
and thou, Jesurun
<03484>_,
whom I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_.
For I will pour
<03332> (8799)
water
<04325>
upon him that is thirsty
<06771>_,
and floods
<05140> (8802)
upon the dry ground
<03004>_:
I will pour
<03332> (8799)
my spirit
<07307>
upon thy seed
<02233>_,
and my blessing
<01293>
upon thine offspring
<06631>_:
And they shall spring up
<06779> (8804)
[as] among
<0996>
the grass
<02682>_,
as willows
<06155>
by the water
<04325>
courses
<02988>_.
One shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the LORD'S
<03068>_;
and another shall call
<07121> (8799)
[himself] by the name
<08034>
of Jacob
<03290>_;
and another shall subscribe
<03789> (8799)
[with] his hand
<03027>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and surname
<03655> (8762)
[himself] by the name
<08034>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
the King
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and his redeemer
<01350> (8802)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
I [am] the first
<07223>_,
and I [am] the last
<0314>_;
and beside
<01107>
me [there is] no God
<0430>_.
And who, as I, shall call
<07121> (8799)_,
and shall declare
<05046> (8686)
it, and set it in order
<06186> (8799)
for me, since I appointed
<07760> (8800)
the ancient
<05769>
people
<05971>_?
and the things that are coming
<0857> (8802)_,
and shall come
<0935> (8799)_,
let them shew
<05046> (8686)
unto them.
Fear
<06342> (8799)
ye not, neither be afraid
<07297> (8799) (8676) <07297> (8804)_:
have not I told
<08085> (8689)
thee from that time
<0227>_,
and have declared
<05046> (8689)
[it]? ye [are] even my witnesses
<05707>_.
Is there
<03426>
a God
<0433>
beside
<01107>
me? yea, [there is] no God
<06697>_;
I know
<03045> (8804)
not [any]. {God; I: Heb. rock, etc}
They that make
<03335> (8802)
a graven image
<06459>
[are] all of them vanity
<08414>_;
and their delectable things
<02530> (8803)
shall not profit
<03276> (8686)_;
and they [are] their own witnesses
<05707>_;
they see
<07200> (8799)
not, nor know
<03045> (8799)_;
that they may be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.
{delectable: Heb. desirable}
Who hath formed
<03335> (8804)
a god
<0410>_,
or molten
<05258> (8804)
a graven image
<06459>
[that] is profitable
<03276> (8687)
for nothing
<01115>_?
Behold, all his fellows
<02270>
shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_:
and the workmen
<02796>_,
they [are] of men
<0120>_:
let them all be gathered together
<06908> (8691)_,
let them stand up
<05975> (8799)_;
[yet] they shall fear
<06342> (8799)_,
[and] they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
together
<03162>_.
The smith
<01270> <02796>
with the tongs
<04621>
both worketh
<06466> (8804)
in the coals
<06352>_,
and fashioneth
<03335> (8799)
it with hammers
<04717>_,
and worketh
<06466> (8799)
it with the strength
<03581>
of his arms
<02220>_:
yea, he is hungry
<07457>_,
and his strength
<03581>
faileth
<0369>_:
he drinketh
<08354> (8804)
no water
<04325>_,
and is faint
<03286> (8799)_.
{with the tongs: or, with an axe}
The carpenter
<02796> <06086>
stretcheth out
<05186> (8804)
[his] rule
<06957>_;
he marketh it out
<08388> (8762)
with a line
<08279>_;
he fitteth
<06213> (8799)
it with planes
<04741>_,
and he marketh it out
<08388> (8762)
with the compass
<04230>_,
and maketh
<06213> (8799)
it after the figure
<08403>
of a man
<0376>_,
according to the beauty
<08597>
of a man
<0120>_;
that it may remain
<03427> (8800)
in the house
<01004>_.
He heweth him down
<03772> (8800)
cedars
<0730>_,
and taketh
<03947> (8799)
the cypress
<08645>
and the oak
<0437>_,
which he strengtheneth
<0553> (8762)
for himself among the trees
<06086>
of the forest
<03293>_:
he planteth
<05193> (8804)
an ash
<0766>_,
and the rain
<01653>
doth nourish
<01431> (8762)
[it]. {strengtheneth: or, taketh courage}
Then shall it be for a man
<0120>
to burn
<01197> (8763)_:
for he will take
<03947> (8799)
thereof, and warm
<02552> (8799)
himself; yea, he kindleth
<05400> (8686)
[it], and baketh
<0644> (8804)
bread
<03899>_;
yea, he maketh
<06466> (8799)
a god
<0410>_,
and worshippeth
<07812> (8691)
[it]; he maketh
<06213> (8804)
it a graven image
<06459>_,
and falleth down
<05456> (8799)
thereto.
He burneth
<08313> (8804)
part
<02677>
thereof in
<01119>
the fire
<0784>_;
with part
<02677>
thereof he eateth
<0398> (8799)
flesh
<01320>_;
he roasteth
<06740> (8799)
roast
<06748>_,
and is satisfied
<07646> (8799)_:
yea, he warmeth
<02552> (8799)
[himself], and saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Aha
<01889>_,
I am warm
<02552> (8804)_,
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
the fire
<0217>_:
And the residue
<07611>
thereof he maketh
<06213> (8804)
a god
<0410>_,
[even] his graven image
<06459>_:
he falleth down
<05456> (8799)
unto it, and worshippeth
<07812> (8691)
[it], and prayeth
<06419> (8691)
unto it, and saith
<0559> (8799)_,
Deliver
<05337> (8685)
me; for thou [art] my god
<0410>_.
They have not known
<03045> (8804)
nor understood
<0995> (8799)_:
for he hath shut
<02902> (8804)
their eyes
<05869>_,
that they cannot see
<07200> (8800)_;
[and] their hearts
<03826>_,
that they cannot understand
<07919> (8687)_.
{shut: Heb. daubed}
And none considereth
<07725> (8686)
in his heart
<03820>_,
neither [is there] knowledge
<01847>
nor understanding
<08394>
to say
<0559> (8800)_,
I have burned
<08313> (8804)
part
<02677>
of it in
<01119>
the fire
<0784>_;
yea, also I have baked
<0644> (8804)
bread
<03899>
upon the coals
<01513>
thereof; I have roasted
<06740> (8799)
flesh
<01320>_,
and eaten
<0398> (8799)
[it]: and shall I make
<06213> (8799)
the residue
<03499>
thereof an abomination
<08441>_?
shall I fall down
<05456> (8799)
to the stock
<0944>
of a tree
<06086>_?
{considereth...: Heb. setteth to his heart} {the stock...: Heb. that which comes of a tree?}
He feedeth
<07462> (8802)
on ashes
<0665>_:
a deceived
<02048> (8795)
heart
<03820>
hath turned him aside
<05186> (8689)_,
that he cannot deliver
<05337> (8686)
his soul
<05315>_,
nor say
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is there] not a lie
<08267>
in my right hand
<03225>_?
Remember
<02142> (8798)
these, O Jacob
<03290>
and Israel
<03478>_;
for thou [art] my servant
<05650>_:
I have formed
<03335> (8804)
thee; thou [art] my servant
<05650>_:
O Israel
<03478>_,
thou shalt not be forgotten
<05382> (8735)
of me.
I have blotted out
<04229> (8804)_,
as a thick cloud
<05645>_,
thy transgressions
<06588>_,
and, as a cloud
<06051>_,
thy sins
<02403>_:
return
<07725> (8798)
unto me; for I have redeemed
<01350> (8804)
thee.
Sing
<07442> (8798)_,
O ye heavens
<08064>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
[it]: shout
<07321> (8685)_,
ye lower parts
<08482>
of the earth
<0776>_:
break forth
<06476> (8798)
into singing
<07440>_,
ye mountains
<02022>_,
O forest
<03293>_,
and every tree
<06086>
therein: for the LORD
<03068>
hath redeemed
<01350> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and glorified
<06286> (8691)
himself in Israel
<03478>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
thy redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
and he that formed
<03335> (8802)
thee from the womb
<0990>_,
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
that maketh
<06213> (8802)
all [things]; that stretcheth forth
<05186> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>
alone; that spreadeth abroad
<07554> (8802)
the earth
<0776>
by myself;
That frustrateth
<06565> (8688)
the tokens
<0226>
of the liars
<0907>_,
and maketh diviners
<07080> (8802)
mad
<01984> (8779)_;
that turneth
<07725> (8688)
wise
<02450>
[men] backward
<0268>_,
and maketh their knowledge
<01847>
foolish
<05528> (8762)_;
That confirmeth
<06965> (8688)
the word
<01697>
of his servant
<05650>_,
and performeth
<07999> (8686)
the counsel
<06098>
of his messengers
<04397>_;
that saith
<0559> (8802)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Thou shalt be inhabited
<03427> (8714)_;
and to the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Ye shall be built
<01129> (8735)_,
and I will raise up
<06965> (8787)
the decayed places
<02723>
thereof: {decayed...: Heb. wastes}
That saith
<0559> (8802)
to the deep
<06683>_,
Be dry
<02717> (8798)_,
and I will dry up
<03001> (8686)
thy rivers
<05104>_:
That saith
<0559> (8802)
of Cyrus
<03566>_,
[He is] my shepherd
<07462> (8802)_,
and shall perform
<07999> (8686)
all my pleasure
<02656>_:
even saying
<0559> (8800)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Thou shalt be built
<01129> (8735)_;
and to the temple
<01964>_,
Thy foundation shall be laid
<03245> (8735)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
to his anointed
<04899>_,
to Cyrus
<03566>_,
whose right hand
<03225>
I have holden
<02388> (8689)_,
to subdue
<07286> (8800)
nations
<01471>
before
<06440>
him; and I will loose
<06605> (8762)
the loins
<04975>
of kings
<04428>_,
to open
<06605> (8800)
before
<06440>
him the two leaved gates
<01817>_;
and the gates
<08179>
shall not be shut
<05462> (8735)_;
{have...: or, strengthened}
I will go
<03212> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee, and make
<03474> (0)
the crooked places
<01921> (8803)
straight
<03474> (8762) (8675) <03474> (8686)_:
I will break in pieces
<07665> (8762)
the gates
<01817>
of brass
<05154>_,
and cut in sunder
<01438> (8762)
the bars
<01280>
of iron
<01270>_:
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
thee the treasures
<0214>
of darkness
<02822>_,
and hidden riches
<04301>
of secret places
<04565>_,
that thou mayest know
<03045> (8799)
that I, the LORD
<03068>_,
which call
<07121> (8802)
[thee] by thy name
<08034>_,
[am] the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
For Jacob
<03290>
my servant's
<05650>
sake, and Israel
<03478>
mine elect
<0972>_,
I have even called
<07121> (8799)
thee by thy name
<08034>_:
I have surnamed
<03655> (8762)
thee, though thou hast not known
<03045> (8804)
me.
I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
and [there is] none else, [there is] no God
<0430>
beside
<02108>
me: I girded
<0247> (8762)
thee, though thou hast not known
<03045> (8804)
me:
That they may know
<03045> (8799)
from the rising
<04217>
of the sun
<08121>_,
and from the west
<04628>_,
that [there is] none
<0657>
beside
<01107>
me. I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
and [there is] none else.
I form
<03335> (8802)
the light
<0216>_,
and create
<01254> (8802)
darkness
<02822>_:
I make
<06213> (8802)
peace
<07965>_,
and create
<01254> (8802)
evil
<07451>_:
I the LORD
<03068>
do
<06213> (8802)
all these [things].
Drop down
<07491> (8685)_,
ye heavens
<08064>_,
from above
<04605>_,
and let the skies
<07834>
pour down
<05140> (8799)
righteousness
<06664>_:
let the earth
<0776>
open
<06605> (8799)_,
and let them bring forth
<06509> (8799)
salvation
<03468>_,
and let righteousness
<06666>
spring up
<06779> (8686)
together
<03162>_;
I the LORD
<03068>
have created
<01254> (8804)
it.
Woe
<01945>
unto him that striveth
<07378> (8801)
with his Maker
<03335> (8802)_!
[Let] the potsherd
<02789>
[strive] with the potsherds
<02789>
of the earth
<0127>_.
Shall the clay
<02563>
say
<0559> (8799)
to him that fashioneth
<03335> (8802)
it, What makest
<06213> (8799)
thou? or thy work
<06467>_,
He hath no hands
<03027>_?
Woe
<01945>
unto him that saith
<0559> (8802)
unto [his] father
<01>_,
What begettest
<03205> (8686)
thou? or to the woman
<0802>_,
What hast thou brought forth
<02342> (8799)_?
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and his Maker
<03335> (8802)_,
Ask
<07592> (8798)
me of things to come
<0857> (8802)
concerning my sons
<01121>_,
and concerning the work
<06467>
of my hands
<03027>
command
<06680> (8762)
ye me.
I have made
<06213> (8804)
the earth
<0776>_,
and created
<01254> (8804)
man
<0120>
upon it: I, [even] my hands
<03027>_,
have stretched out
<05186> (8804)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and all their host
<06635>
have I commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
I have raised him up
<05782> (8689)
in righteousness
<06664>_,
and I will direct
<03474> (8762)
all his ways
<01870>_:
he shall build
<01129> (8799)
my city
<05892>_,
and he shall let go
<07971> (8762)
my captives
<01546>_,
not for price
<04242>
nor reward
<07810>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{direct: or, make straight}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
The labour
<03018>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and merchandise
<05505>
of Ethiopia
<03568>
and of the Sabeans
<05436>_,
men
<0582>
of stature
<04060>_,
shall come over
<05674> (8799)
unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
thee; in chains
<02131>
they shall come over
<05674> (8799)_,
and they shall fall down
<07812> (8691)
unto thee, they shall make supplication
<06419> (8691)
unto thee, [saying], Surely God
<0410>
[is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] no
<0657>
God
<0430>_.
Verily
<0403>
thou [art] a God
<0410>
that hidest
<05641> (8693)
thyself, O God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
the Saviour
<03467> (8688)_.
They shall be ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,
and also confounded
<03637> (8738)_,
all of them: they shall go
<01980> (8804)
to confusion
<03639>
together
<03162>
[that are] makers
<02796>
of idols
<06736>_.
[But] Israel
<03478>
shall be saved
<03467> (8738)
in the LORD
<03068>
with an everlasting
<05769>
salvation
<08668>_:
ye shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
nor confounded
<03637> (8735)
world
<05769>
without end
<05703>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that created
<01254> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>_;
God
<0430>
himself that formed
<03335> (8802)
the earth
<0776>
and made
<06213> (8802)
it; he hath established
<03559> (8790)
it, he created
<01254> (8804)
it not in vain
<08414>_,
he formed
<03335> (8804)
it to be inhabited
<03427> (8800)_:
I [am] the LORD
<03068>_;
and [there is] none else.
I have not spoken
<01696> (8765)
in secret
<05643>_,
in a dark
<02822>
place
<04725>
of the earth
<0776>_:
I said
<0559> (8804)
not unto the seed
<02233>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
Seek
<01245> (8761)
ye me in vain
<08414>_:
I the LORD
<03068>
speak
<01696> (8802)
righteousness
<06664>_,
I declare
<05046> (8688)
things that are right
<04339>_.
Assemble
<06908> (8734)
yourselves and come
<0935> (8798)_;
draw near
<05066> (8690)
together
<03162>_,
ye [that are] escaped
<06412>
of the nations
<01471>_:
they have no knowledge
<03045> (8804)
that set up
<05375> (8802)
the wood
<06086>
of their graven image
<06459>_,
and pray
<06419> (8693)
unto a god
<0410>
[that] cannot save
<03467> (8686)_.
Tell
<05046> (8685)
ye, and bring [them] near
<05066> (8685)_;
yea, let them take counsel
<03289> (8735)
together
<03162>_:
who hath declared
<08085> (8689)
this from ancient time
<06924>_?
[who] hath told
<05046> (8689)
it from that time? [have] not I the LORD
<03068>_?
and [there is] no God
<0430>
else beside
<01107>
me; a just
<06662>
God
<0410>
and a Saviour
<03467> (8688)_;
[there is] none
<0369>
beside
<02108>
me.
Look
<06437> (8798)
unto me, and be ye saved
<03467> (8734)_,
all the ends
<0657>
of the earth
<0776>_:
for I [am] God
<0410>_,
and [there is] none else.
I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
by myself, the word
<01697>
is gone out
<03318> (8804)
of my mouth
<06310>
[in] righteousness
<06666>_,
and shall not return
<07725> (8799)_,
That unto me every knee
<01290>
shall bow
<03766> (8799)_,
every tongue
<03956>
shall swear
<07650> (8735)_.
Surely, shall [one] say
<0559> (8804)_,
in the LORD
<03068>
have I righteousness
<06666>
and strength
<05797>_:
[even] to him shall [men] come
<0935> (8799)_;
and all that are incensed
<02734> (8737)
against him shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.
{Surely...: or, Surely he shall say of me, In the LORD is all righteousness and strength} {righteousness: Heb. righteousnesses}
In the LORD
<03068>
shall all the seed
<02233>
of Israel
<03478>
be justified
<06663> (8799)_,
and shall glory
<01984> (8691)_.
Bel
<01078>
boweth down
<03766> (8804)_,
Nebo
<05015>
stoopeth
<07164> (8802)_,
their idols
<06091>
were upon the beasts
<02416>_,
and upon the cattle
<0929>_:
your carriages
<05385>
[were] heavy loaden
<06006> (8803)_;
[they are] a burden
<04853>
to the weary
<05889>
[beast].
They stoop
<07164> (8804)_,
they bow down
<03766> (8804)
together
<03162>_;
they could
<03201> (8804)
not deliver
<04422> (8763)
the burden
<04853>_,
but themselves
<05315>
are gone
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<07628>_.
{themselves: Heb. their soul}
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me, O house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and all the remnant
<07611>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which are borne
<06006> (8803)
[by me] from the belly
<0990>_,
which are carried
<05375> (8803)
from the womb
<07356>_:
And [even] to [your] old age
<02209>
I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs
<07872>
will I carry
<05445> (8799)
[you]: I have made
<06213> (8804)_,
and I will bear
<05375> (8799)_;
even I will carry
<05445> (8799)_,
and will deliver
<04422> (8762)
[you].
To whom will ye liken
<01819> (8762)
me, and make [me] equal
<07737> (8686)_,
and compare
<04911> (8686)
me, that we may be like
<01819> (8799)_?
They lavish
<02107> (8801)
gold
<02091>
out of the bag
<03599>_,
and weigh
<08254> (8799)
silver
<03701>
in the balance
<07070>_,
[and] hire
<07936> (8799)
a goldsmith
<06884> (8802)_;
and he maketh
<06213> (8799)
it a god
<0410>_:
they fall down
<05456> (8799)_,
yea, they worship
<07812> (8691)_.
They bear
<05375> (8799)
him upon the shoulder
<03802>_,
they carry
<05445> (8799)
him, and set him in his place
<03240> (8686)_,
and he standeth
<05975> (8799)_;
from his place
<04725>
shall he not remove
<04185> (8686)_:
yea, [one] shall cry
<06817> (8799)
unto him, yet can he not answer
<06030> (8799)_,
nor save
<03467> (8686)
him out of his trouble
<06869>_.
Remember
<02142> (8798)
this, and shew yourselves men
<0377> (8695)_:
bring [it] again
<07725> (8685)
to mind
<03820>_,
O ye transgressors
<06586> (8802)_.
Remember
<02142> (8798)
the former things
<07223>
of old
<05769>_:
for I [am] God
<0410>_,
and [there is] none else; [I am] God
<0430>_,
and [there is] none
<0657>
like
<03644>
me,
Declaring
<05046> (8688)
the end
<0319>
from the beginning
<07225>_,
and from ancient times
<06924>
[the things] that are not [yet] done
<06213> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8802)_,
My counsel
<06098>
shall stand
<06965> (8799)_,
and I will do
<06213> (8799)
all my pleasure
<02656>_:
Calling
<07121> (8802)
a ravenous bird
<05861>
from the east
<04217>_,
the man
<0376>
that executeth my counsel
<06098>
from a far
<04801>
country
<0776>_:
yea, I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it], I will also bring
<0935> (8686)
it to pass; I have purposed
<03335> (8804)
[it], I will also do
<06213> (8799)
it. {that...: Heb. of my counsel}
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me, ye stouthearted
<047> <03820>_,
that [are] far from
<07350>
righteousness
<06666>_:
I bring near
<07126> (8765)
my righteousness
<06666>_;
it shall not be far off
<07368> (8799)_,
and my salvation
<08668>
shall not tarry
<0309> (8762)_:
and I will place
<05414> (8804)
salvation
<08668>
in Zion
<06726>
for Israel
<03478>
my glory
<08597>_.
Come down
<03381> (8798)_,
and sit
<03427> (8798)
in the dust
<06083>_,
O virgin
<01330>
daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
sit
<03427> (8798)
on the ground
<0776>_:
[there is] no throne
<03678>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
for thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)
be called
<07121> (8799)
tender
<07390>
and delicate
<06028>_.
Take
<03947> (8798)
the millstones
<07347>_,
and grind
<02912> (8798)
meal
<07058>_:
uncover
<01540> (8761)
thy locks
<06777>_,
make bare
<02834> (8798)
the leg
<07640>_,
uncover
<01540> (8761)
the thigh
<07785>_,
pass over
<05674> (8798)
the rivers
<05104>_.
Thy nakedness
<06172>
shall be uncovered
<01540> (8735)_,
yea, thy shame
<02781>
shall be seen
<07200> (8735)_:
I will take
<03947> (8799)
vengeance
<05359>_,
and I will not meet
<06293> (8799)
[thee as] a man
<0120>_.
[As for] our redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Sit
<03427> (8798)
thou silent
<01748>_,
and get
<0935> (8798)
thee into darkness
<02822>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
for thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)
be called
<07121> (8799)_,
The lady
<01404>
of kingdoms
<04467>_.
I was wroth
<07107> (8804)
with my people
<05971>_,
I have polluted
<02490> (8765)
mine inheritance
<05159>_,
and given
<05414> (8799)
them into thine hand
<03027>_:
thou didst shew
<07760> (8804)
them no mercy
<07356>_;
upon the ancient
<02205>
hast thou very
<03966>
heavily
<03513> (8689)
laid thy yoke
<05923>_.
And thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
I shall be a lady
<01404>
for ever
<05769>_:
[so] that thou didst not lay
<07760> (8804)
these [things] to thy heart
<03820>_,
neither didst remember
<02142> (8804)
the latter end
<0319>
of it.
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures
<05719>_,
that dwellest
<03427> (8802)
carelessly
<0983>_,
that sayest
<0559> (8802)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
I [am], and none else
<0657>
beside me; I shall not sit
<03427> (8799)
[as] a widow
<0490>_,
neither shall I know
<03045> (8799)
the loss of children
<07908>_:
But these two
<08147>
[things] shall come
<0935> (8799)
to thee in a moment
<07281>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_,
the loss of children
<07908>_,
and widowhood
<0489>_:
they shall come
<0935> (8804)
upon thee in their perfection
<08537>
for the multitude
<07230>
of thy sorceries
<03785>_,
[and] for the great
<03966>
abundance
<06109>
of thine enchantments
<02267>_.
For thou hast trusted
<0982> (8799)
in thy wickedness
<07451>_:
thou hast said
<0559> (8804)_,
None seeth
<07200> (8802)
me. Thy wisdom
<02451>
and thy knowledge
<01847>_,
it hath perverted
<07725> (8790)
thee; and thou hast said
<0559> (8799)
in thine heart
<03820>_,
I [am], and none else
<0657>
beside me. {perverted...: or, caused thee to turn away}
Therefore shall evil
<07451>
come
<0935> (8804)
upon thee; thou shalt not know
<03045> (8799)
from whence it riseth
<07837>_:
and mischief
<01943>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
upon thee; thou shalt not be able
<03201> (8799)
to put it off
<03722> (8763)_:
and desolation
<07722>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon thee suddenly
<06597>_,
[which] thou shalt not know
<03045> (8799)_.
{from...: Heb. the morning thereof} {put: Heb. expiate}
Stand
<05975> (8798)
now with thine enchantments
<02267>_,
and with the multitude
<07230>
of thy sorceries
<03785>_,
wherein
<0834>
thou hast laboured
<03021> (8804)
from thy youth
<05271>_;
if so be thou shalt be able
<03201> (8799)
to profit
<03276> (8687)_,
if so be thou mayest prevail
<06206> (8799)_.
Thou art wearied
<03811> (8738)
in the multitude
<07230>
of thy counsels
<06098>_.
Let now the astrologers
<01895> (8802) <08064>_,
the stargazers
<02374> <03556>_,
the monthly
<02320>
prognosticators
<03045> (8688)_,
stand up
<05975> (8799)_,
and save
<03467> (8686)
thee from [these things] that shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon thee. {astrologers: Heb. viewers of the heavens} {the monthly...: Heb. that give knowledge concerning the months}
Behold, they shall be as stubble
<07179>_;
the fire
<0784>
shall burn
<08313> (8804)
them; they shall not deliver
<05337> (8686)
themselves
<05315>
from the power
<03027>
of the flame
<03852>_:
[there shall] not [be] a coal
<01513>
to warm
<02552> (8800)
at, [nor] fire
<0217>
to sit
<03427> (8800)
before it. {themselves: Heb. their souls}
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured
<03021> (8804)_,
[even] thy merchants
<05503> (8802)_,
from thy youth
<05271>_:
they shall wander
<08582> (8804)
every one
<0376>
to his quarter
<05676>_;
none shall save
<03467> (8688)
thee.
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye this, O house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
which are called
<07121> (8737)
by the name
<08034>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and are come forth
<03318> (8804)
out of the waters
<04325>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which swear
<07650> (8737)
by the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and make mention
<02142> (8686)
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[but] not in truth
<0571>_,
nor in righteousness
<06666>_.
For they call
<07121> (8738)
themselves of the holy
<06944>
city
<05892>_,
and stay
<05564> (8738)
themselves upon the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_.
I have declared
<05046> (8689)
the former things
<07223>
from the beginning
<0227>_;
and they went forth
<03318> (8804)
out of my mouth
<06310>_,
and I shewed
<08085> (8686)
them; I did
<06213> (8804)
[them] suddenly
<06597>_,
and they came to pass
<0935> (8799)_.
Because I knew
<01847>
that thou [art] obstinate
<07186>_,
and thy neck
<06203>
[is] an iron
<01270>
sinew
<01517>_,
and thy brow
<04696>
brass
<05154>_;
{obstinate: Heb. hard}
I have even from the beginning
<0227>
declared
<05046> (8686)
[it] to thee; before it came to pass
<0935> (8799)
I shewed
<08085> (8689)
[it] thee: lest thou shouldest say
<0559> (8799)_,
Mine idol
<06090>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
them, and my graven image
<06459>_,
and my molten image
<05262>_,
hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
them.
Thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_,
see
<02372> (8798)
all this; and will not ye declare
<05046> (8686)
[it]? I have shewed
<08085> (8689)
thee new things
<02319>
from this time
<06258>_,
even hidden things
<05341> (8803)_,
and thou didst not know
<03045> (8804)
them.
They are created
<01254> (8738)
now, and not from the beginning; even before
<06440>
the day
<03117>
when thou heardest
<08085> (8804)
them not; lest thou shouldest say
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I knew
<03045> (8804)
them.
Yea, thou heardest
<08085> (8804)
not; yea, thou knewest
<03045> (8804)
not; yea, from that time [that] thine ear
<0241>
was not opened
<06605> (8765)_:
for I knew
<03045> (8804)
that thou wouldest deal very
<0898> (8800)
treacherously
<0898> (8799)_,
and wast called
<07121> (8795)
a transgressor
<06586> (8802)
from the womb
<0990>_.
For my name's
<08034>
sake will I defer
<0748> (8686)
mine anger
<0639>_,
and for my praise
<08416>
will I refrain
<02413> (8799)
for thee, that I cut thee not off
<03772> (8687)_.
Behold, I have refined
<06884> (8804)
thee, but not with silver
<03701>_;
I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
thee in the furnace
<03564>
of affliction
<06040>_.
{with...: or, for silver}
For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I do
<06213> (8799)
[it]: for how should [my name] be polluted
<02490> (8735)_?
and I will not give
<05414> (8799)
my glory
<03519>
unto another
<0312>_.
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me, O Jacob
<03290>
and Israel
<03478>_,
my called
<07121> (8794)_;
I [am] he; I [am] the first
<07223>_,
I also [am] the last
<0314>_.
Mine hand
<03027>
also hath laid the foundation
<03245> (8804)
of the earth
<0776>_,
and my right hand
<03225>
hath spanned
<02946> (8765)
the heavens
<08064>_:
[when] I call
<07121> (8802)
unto them, they stand up
<05975> (8799)
together
<03162>_.
{my...: or, the palm of my right hand hath spread out}
All ye, assemble
<06908> (8734)
yourselves, and hear
<08085> (8798)_;
which among them hath declared
<05046> (8689)
these [things]? The LORD
<03068>
hath loved
<0157> (8804)
him: he will do
<06213> (8799)
his pleasure
<02656>
on Babylon
<0894>_,
and his arm
<02220>
[shall be on] the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
I, [even] I, have spoken
<01696> (8765)_;
yea, I have called
<07121> (8804)
him: I have brought
<0935> (8689)
him, and he shall make his way
<01870>
prosperous
<06743> (8689)_.
Come
<07126> (8798)
ye near
<07126> (8798)
unto me, hear
<08085> (8798)
ye this; I have not spoken
<01696> (8765)
in secret
<05643>
from the beginning
<07218>_;
from the time
<06256>
that it was, there [am] I: and now the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
and his Spirit
<07307>_,
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_;
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
which teacheth
<03925> (8764)
thee to profit
<03276> (8687)_,
which leadeth
<01869> (8688)
thee by the way
<01870>
[that] thou shouldest go
<03212> (8799)_.
O that
<03863>
thou hadst hearkened
<07181> (8689)
to my commandments
<04687>_!
then had thy peace
<07965>
been as a river
<05104>_,
and thy righteousness
<06666>
as the waves
<01530>
of the sea
<03220>_:
Thy seed
<02233>
also had been as the sand
<02344>_,
and the offspring
<06631>
of thy bowels
<04578>
like the gravel
<04579>
thereof; his name
<08034>
should not have been cut off
<03772> (8735)
nor destroyed
<08045> (8735)
from before
<06440>
me.
Go ye forth
<03318> (8798)
of Babylon
<0894>_,
flee
<01272> (8798)
ye from the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
with a voice
<06963>
of singing
<07440>
declare
<05046> (8685)
ye, tell
<08085> (8685)
this, utter
<03318> (8685)
it [even] to the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_;
say
<0559> (8798)
ye, The LORD
<03068>
hath redeemed
<01350> (8804)
his servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>_.
And they thirsted
<06770> (8804)
not [when] he led
<03212> (8689)
them through the deserts
<02723>_:
he caused the waters
<04325>
to flow
<05140> (8689)
out of the rock
<06697>
for them: he clave
<01234> (8799)
the rock
<06697>
also, and the waters
<04325>
gushed out
<02100> (8799)_.
[There is] no peace
<07965>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
unto the wicked
<07563>_.
Listen
<08085> (8798)_,
O isles
<0339>_,
unto me; and hearken
<07181> (8685)_,
ye people
<03816>_,
from far
<07350>_;
The LORD
<03068>
hath called
<07121> (8804)
me from the womb
<0990>_;
from the bowels
<04578>
of my mother
<0517>
hath he made mention
<02142> (8689)
of my name
<08034>_.
And he hath made
<07760> (8799)
my mouth
<06310>
like a sharp
<02299>
sword
<02719>_;
in the shadow
<06738>
of his hand
<03027>
hath he hid
<02244> (8689)
me, and made
<07760> (8799)
me a polished
<01305> (8803)
shaft
<02671>_;
in his quiver
<0827>
hath he hid
<05641> (8689)
me;
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Thou [art] my servant
<05650>_,
O Israel
<03478>_,
in whom I will be glorified
<06286> (8691)_.
Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,
I have laboured
<03021> (8804)
in vain
<07385>_,
I have spent
<03615> (8765)
my strength
<03581>
for nought
<08414>_,
and in vain
<01892>_:
[yet] surely
<0403>
my judgment
<04941>
[is] with the LORD
<03068>_,
and my work
<06468>
with my God
<0430>_.
{my work: or, my reward}
And now, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that formed
<03335> (8802)
me from the womb
<0990>
[to be] his servant
<05650>_,
to bring
<07725> (0)
Jacob
<03290>
again
<07725> (8788)
to him, Though Israel
<03478>
be not gathered
<0622> (8735)_,
yet shall I be glorious
<03513> (8735)
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and my God
<0430>
shall be my strength
<05797>_.
{Though...: or, That Israel may be gathered to him, and I may, etc}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
It is a light thing
<07043> (8738)
that thou shouldest be my servant
<05650>
to raise up
<06965> (8687)
the tribes
<07626>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and to restore
<07725> (8687)
the preserved
<05341> (8803) (8675) <05336>
of Israel
<03478>_:
I will also give
<05414> (8804)
thee for a light
<0216>
to the Gentiles
<01471>_,
that thou mayest be my salvation
<03444>
unto the end
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{It is...: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the Redeemer
<01350> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_,
[and] his Holy One
<06918>_,
to him whom man
<05315>
despiseth
<0960>_,
to him whom the nation
<01471>
abhorreth
<08581> (8764)_,
to a servant
<05650>
of rulers
<04910> (8802)_,
Kings
<04428>
shall see
<07200> (8799)
and arise
<06965> (8804)_,
princes
<08269>
also shall worship
<07812> (8691)_,
because of the LORD
<03068>
that is faithful
<0539> (8737)_,
[and] the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and he shall choose
<0977> (8799)
thee. {whom man...: or, that is despised in soul}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
In an acceptable
<07522>
time
<06256>
have I heard
<06030> (8804)
thee, and in a day
<03117>
of salvation
<03444>
have I helped
<05826> (8804)
thee: and I will preserve
<05341> (8799)
thee, and give
<05414> (8799)
thee for a covenant
<01285>
of the people
<05971>_,
to establish
<06965> (8687)
the earth
<0776>_,
to cause to inherit
<05157> (8687)
the desolate
<08074> (8802)
heritages
<05159>_;
{establish: or, raise up}
That thou mayest say
<0559> (8800)
to the prisoners
<0631> (8803)_,
Go forth
<03318> (8798)_;
to them that [are] in darkness
<02822>_,
Shew
<01540> (8734)
yourselves. They shall feed
<07462> (8799)
in the ways
<01870>_,
and their pastures
<04830>
[shall be] in all high places
<08205>_.
They shall not hunger
<07456> (8799)
nor thirst
<06770> (8799)_;
neither shall the heat
<08273>
nor sun
<08121>
smite
<05221> (8686)
them: for he that hath mercy
<07355> (8764)
on them shall lead
<05090> (8762)
them, even by the springs
<04002>
of water
<04325>
shall he guide
<05095> (8762)
them.
And I will make
<07760> (8804)
all my mountains
<02022>
a way
<01870>_,
and my highways
<04546>
shall be exalted
<07311> (8799)_.
Behold, these shall come
<0935> (8799)
from far
<07350>_:
and, lo, these from the north
<06828>
and from the west
<03220>_;
and these from the land
<0776>
of Sinim
<05515>_.
Sing
<07442> (8798)_,
O heavens
<08064>_;
and be joyful
<01523> (8798)_,
O earth
<0776>_;
and break forth
<06476> (8798)
into singing
<07440>_,
O mountains
<02022>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath comforted
<05162> (8765)
his people
<05971>_,
and will have mercy
<07355> (8762)
upon his afflicted
<06041>_.
But Zion
<06726>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and my Lord
<0136>
hath forgotten
<07911> (8804)
me.
Can a woman
<0802>
forget
<07911> (8799)
her sucking child
<05764>_,
that she should not have compassion
<07355> (8763)
on the son
<01121>
of her womb
<0990>_?
yea, they may forget
<07911> (8799)_,
yet will I not forget
<07911> (8799)
thee. {that...: Heb. from having compassion}
Behold, I have graven
<02710> (8804)
thee upon the palms of [my] hands
<03709>_;
thy walls
<02346>
[are] continually
<08548>
before me.
Thy children
<01121>
shall make haste
<04116> (8765)_;
thy destroyers
<02040> (8764)
and they that made thee waste
<02717> (8688)
shall go forth
<03318> (8799)
of thee.
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>
round about
<05439>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)_:
all these gather themselves together
<06908> (8738)_,
[and] come
<0935> (8804)
to thee. [As] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
thou shalt surely clothe
<03847> (8799)
thee with them all, as with an ornament
<05716>_,
and bind
<07194> (8762)
them [on thee], as a bride
<03618>
[doeth].
For thy waste
<02723>
and thy desolate places
<08074> (8802)_,
and the land
<0776>
of thy destruction
<02035>_,
shall even now be too narrow
<03334> (8799)
by reason of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)_,
and they that swallowed thee up
<01104> (8764)
shall be far away
<07368> (8804)_.
The children
<01121>
which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost
<07923>
the other, shall say
<0559> (8799)
again in thine ears
<0241>_,
The place
<04725>
[is] too strait
<06862>
for me: give
<05066> (8798)
place
<04725>
to me that I may dwell
<03427> (8799)_.
Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
Who hath begotten
<03205> (8804)
me these, seeing I have lost my children
<07921> (8803)_,
and am desolate
<01565>_,
a captive
<01540> (8802)_,
and removing to and fro
<05493> (8803)_?
and who hath brought up
<01431> (8765)
these? Behold, I was left
<07604> (8738)
alone; these, where
<0375>
[had] they [been]?
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
Behold, I will lift up
<05375> (8799)
mine hand
<03027>
to the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and set up
<07311> (8686)
my standard
<05251>
to the people
<05971>_:
and they shall bring
<0935> (8689)
thy sons
<01121>
in [their] arms
<02684>_,
and thy daughters
<01323>
shall be carried
<05375> (8735)
upon [their] shoulders
<03802>_.
{arms: Heb. bosom}
And kings
<04428>
shall be thy nursing fathers
<0539> (8802)_,
and their queens
<08282>
thy nursing mothers
<03243> (8688)_:
they shall bow down
<07812> (8691)
to thee with [their] face
<0639>
toward the earth
<0776>_,
and lick up
<03897> (8762)
the dust
<06083>
of thy feet
<07272>_;
and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I [am] the LORD
<03068>_:
for they shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)
that wait
<06960> (8802)
for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
Shall the prey
<04455>
be taken
<03947> (8714)
from the mighty
<01368>_,
or the lawful
<06662>
captive
<07628>
delivered
<04422> (8735)_?
{lawful...: Heb. captivity of the just}
But thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Even the captives
<07628>
of the mighty
<01368>
shall be taken away
<03947> (8714)_,
and the prey
<04455>
of the terrible
<06184>
shall be delivered
<04422> (8735)_:
for I will contend
<07378> (8799)
with him that contendeth
<03401>
with thee, and I will save
<03467> (8686)
thy children
<01121>_.
{captives: Heb. captivity}
And I will feed
<0398> (8689)
them that oppress
<03238> (8688)
thee with their own flesh
<01320>_;
and they shall be drunken
<07937> (8799)
with their own blood
<01818>_,
as with sweet wine
<06071>_:
and all flesh
<01320>
shall know
<03045> (8804)
that I the LORD
<03068>
[am] thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)
and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the mighty One
<046>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
{sweet: or, new}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Where [is] the bill
<05612>
of your mother's
<0517>
divorcement
<03748>_,
whom I have put away
<07971> (8765)_?
or which of my creditors
<05383> (8802)
[is it] to whom I have sold
<04376> (8804)
you? Behold, for your iniquities
<05771>
have ye sold
<04376> (8738)
yourselves, and for your transgressions
<06588>
is your mother
<0517>
put away
<07971> (8795)_.
Wherefore, when I came
<0935> (8804)_,
[was there] no man
<0376>_?
when I called
<07121> (8804)_,
[was there] none to answer
<06030> (8802)_?
Is my hand
<03027>
shortened
<07114> (8804)
at all
<07114> (8800)_,
that it cannot redeem
<06304>_?
or have I no power
<03581>
to deliver
<05337> (8687)_?
behold, at my rebuke
<01606>
I dry up
<02717> (8686)
the sea
<03220>_,
I make
<07760> (8799)
the rivers
<05104>
a wilderness
<04057>_:
their fish
<01710>
stinketh
<0887> (8799)_,
because [there is] no water
<04325>_,
and dieth
<04191> (8799)
for thirst
<06772>_.
I clothe
<03847> (8686)
the heavens
<08064>
with blackness
<06940>_,
and I make
<07760> (8799)
sackcloth
<08242>
their covering
<03682>_.
The Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me the tongue
<03956>
of the learned
<03928>_,
that I should know
<03045> (8800)
how to speak
<05790> (8800)
a word
<01697>
in season to [him that is] weary
<03287>_:
he wakeneth
<05782> (8686)
morning
<01242>
by morning
<01242>_,
he wakeneth
<05782> (8686)
mine ear
<0241>
to hear
<08085> (8800)
as the learned
<03928>_.
The Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
hath opened
<06605> (8804)
mine ear
<0241>_,
and I was not rebellious
<04784> (8804)_,
neither turned away
<05472> (8738)
back
<0268>_.
I gave
<05414> (8804)
my back
<01460>
to the smiters
<05221> (8688)_,
and my cheeks
<03895>
to them that plucked off
<04803> (8802)
the hair: I hid
<05641> (8689)
not my face
<06440>
from shame
<03639>
and spitting
<07536>_.
For the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
will help
<05826> (8799)
me; therefore shall I not be confounded
<03637> (8738)_:
therefore have I set
<07760> (8804)
my face
<06440>
like a flint
<02496>_,
and I know
<03045> (8799)
that I shall not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.
[He is] near
<07138>
that justifieth
<06663> (8688)
me; who will contend
<07378> (8799)
with me? let us stand
<05975> (8799)
together
<03162>_:
who [is] mine adversary
<01167> <04941>_?
let him come near
<05066> (8799)
to me. {mine...: Heb. the master of my cause?}
Behold, the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
will help
<05826> (8799)
me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn
<07561> (8686)
me? lo, they all shall wax old
<01086> (8799)
as a garment
<0899>_;
the moth
<06211>
shall eat them up
<0398> (8799)_.
Who [is] among you that feareth
<03373>
the LORD
<03068>_,
that obeyeth
<08085> (8802)
the voice
<06963>
of his servant
<05650>_,
that walketh
<01980> (8804)
[in] darkness
<02825>_,
and hath no light
<05051>_?
let him trust
<0982> (8799)
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and stay
<08172> (8735)
upon his God
<0430>_.
Behold, all ye that kindle
<06919> (8802)
a fire
<0784>_,
that compass [yourselves] about
<0247> (8764)
with sparks
<02131>_:
walk
<03212> (8798)
in the light
<0217>
of your fire
<0784>_,
and in the sparks
<02131>
[that] ye have kindled
<01197> (8765)_.
This shall ye have of mine hand
<03027>_;
ye shall lie down
<07901> (8799)
in sorrow
<04620>_.
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
to me, ye that follow after
<07291> (8802)
righteousness
<06664>_,
ye that seek
<01245> (8764)
the LORD
<03068>_:
look
<05027> (8685)
unto the rock
<06697>
[whence] ye are hewn
<02672> (8795)_,
and to the hole
<04718>
of the pit
<0953>
[whence] ye are digged
<05365> (8795)_.
Look
<05027> (8685)
unto Abraham
<085>
your father
<01>_,
and unto Sarah
<08283>
[that] bare
<02342> (8787)
you: for I called
<07121> (8804)
him alone
<0259>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
him, and increased
<07235> (8686)
him.
For the LORD
<03068>
shall comfort
<05162> (8765)
Zion
<06726>_:
he will comfort
<05162> (8765)
all her waste places
<02723>_;
and he will make
<07760> (8799)
her wilderness
<04057>
like Eden
<05731>_,
and her desert
<06160>
like the garden
<01588>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
joy
<08342>
and gladness
<08057>
shall be found
<04672> (8735)
therein, thanksgiving
<08426>_,
and the voice
<06963>
of melody
<02172>_.
Hearken
<07181> (8685)
unto me, my people
<05971>_;
and give ear
<0238> (8685)
unto me, O my nation
<03816>_:
for a law
<08451>
shall proceed
<03318> (8799)
from me, and I will make my judgment
<04941>
to rest
<07280> (8686)
for a light
<0216>
of the people
<05971>_.
My righteousness
<06664>
[is] near
<07138>_;
my salvation
<03468>
is gone forth
<03318> (8804)_,
and mine arms
<02220>
shall judge
<08199> (8799)
the people
<05971>_;
the isles
<0339>
shall wait
<06960> (8762)
upon me, and on mine arm
<02220>
shall they trust
<03176> (8762)_.
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
your eyes
<05869>
to the heavens
<08064>_,
and look
<05027> (8685)
upon the earth
<0776>
beneath: for the heavens
<08064>
shall vanish away
<04414> (8738)
like smoke
<06227>_,
and the earth
<0776>
shall wax old
<01086> (8799)
like a garment
<0899>_,
and they that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein shall die
<04191> (8799)
in like
<03644>
manner
<03654>_:
but my salvation
<03444>
shall be for ever
<05769>_,
and my righteousness
<06666>
shall not be abolished
<02865> (8735)_.
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me, ye that know
<03045> (8802)
righteousness
<06664>_,
the people
<05971>
in whose heart
<03820>
[is] my law
<08451>_;
fear
<03372> (8799)
ye not the reproach
<02781>
of men
<0582>_,
neither be ye afraid
<02865> (8735)
of their revilings
<01421>_.
For the moth
<06211>
shall eat them up
<0398> (8799)
like a garment
<0899>_,
and the worm
<05580>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)
them like wool
<06785>_:
but my righteousness
<06666>
shall be for ever
<05769>_,
and my salvation
<03444>
from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_.
Awake
<05782> (8798)_,
awake
<05782> (8798)_,
put on
<03847> (8798)
strength
<05797>_,
O arm
<02220>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
awake
<05782> (8798)_,
as in the ancient
<06924>
days
<03117>_,
in the generations
<01755>
of old
<05769>_.
[Art] thou not it that hath cut
<02672> (8688)
Rahab
<07294>_,
[and] wounded
<02490> (8781)
the dragon
<08577>_?
[Art] thou not it which hath dried
<02717> (8688)
the sea
<03220>_,
the waters
<04325>
of the great
<07227>
deep
<08415>_;
that hath made
<07760> (8804)
the depths
<04615>
of the sea
<03220>
a way
<01870>
for the ransomed
<01350> (8803)
to pass over
<05674> (8800)_?
Therefore the redeemed
<06299> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>
shall return
<07725> (8799)_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
with singing
<07440>
unto Zion
<06726>_;
and everlasting
<05769>
joy
<08057>
[shall be] upon their head
<07218>_:
they shall obtain
<05381> (8686)
gladness
<08342>
and joy
<08057>_;
[and] sorrow
<03015>
and mourning
<0585>
shall flee away
<05127> (8804)_.
I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth
<05162> (8764)
you: who [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid
<03372> (8799)
of a man
<0582>
[that] shall die
<04191> (8799)_,
and of the son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
[which] shall be made
<05414> (8735)
[as] grass
<02682>_;
And forgettest
<07911> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
thy maker
<06213> (8802)_,
that hath stretched forth
<05186> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and laid the foundations
<03245> (8801)
of the earth
<0776>_;
and hast feared
<06342> (8762)
continually
<08548>
every day
<03117>
because
<06440>
of the fury
<02534>
of the oppressor
<06693> (8688)_,
as if
<0834>
he were ready
<03559> (8790)
to destroy
<07843> (8687)_?
and where [is] the fury
<02534>
of the oppressor
<06693> (8688)_?
{were...: or, made himself ready}
The captive exile
<06808> (8802)
hasteneth
<04116> (8765)
that he may be loosed
<06605> (8736)_,
and that he should not die
<04191> (8799)
in the pit
<07845>_,
nor that his bread
<03899>
should fail
<02637> (8799)_.
But I [am] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
that divided
<07280> (8802)
the sea
<03220>_,
whose waves
<01530>
roared
<01993> (8799)_:
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_.
And I have put
<07760> (8799)
my words
<01697>
in thy mouth
<06310>_,
and I have covered
<03680> (8765)
thee in the shadow
<06738>
of mine hand
<03027>_,
that I may plant
<05193> (8800)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and lay the foundations
<03245> (8800)
of the earth
<0776>_,
and say
<0559> (8800)
unto Zion
<06726>_,
Thou [art] my people
<05971>_.
Awake
<05782> (8708)_,
awake
<05782> (8708)_,
stand up
<06965> (8798)_,
O Jerusalem
<03389>_,
which hast drunk
<08354> (8804)
at the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
the cup
<03563>
of his fury
<02534>_;
thou hast drunken
<08354> (8804)
the dregs
<06907>
of the cup
<03563>
of trembling
<08653>_,
[and] wrung [them] out
<04680> (8804)_.
[There is] none to guide
<05095> (8764)
her among all the sons
<01121>
[whom] she hath brought forth
<03205> (8804)_;
neither [is there any] that taketh
<02388> (8688)
her by the hand
<03027>
of all the sons
<01121>
[that] she hath brought up
<01431> (8765)_.
These two
<08147>
[things] are come
<07122> (8802)
unto thee; who shall be sorry
<05110> (8799)
for thee? desolation
<07701>_,
and destruction
<07667>_,
and the famine
<07458>_,
and the sword
<02719>_:
by whom shall I comfort
<05162> (8762)
thee? {are...: Heb. happened} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
Thy sons
<01121>
have fainted
<05968> (8795)_,
they lie
<07901> (8804)
at the head
<07218>
of all the streets
<02351>_,
as a wild bull
<08377>
in a net
<04364>_:
they are full
<04392>
of the fury
<02534>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
the rebuke
<01606>
of thy God
<0430>_.
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
now this, thou afflicted
<06041>_,
and drunken
<07937> (8803)_,
but not with wine
<03196>_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
thy Lord
<0113>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and thy God
<0430>
[that] pleadeth
<07378> (8799)
the cause of his people
<05971>_,
Behold, I have taken out
<03947> (8804)
of thine hand
<03027>
the cup
<03563>
of trembling
<08653>_,
[even] the dregs
<06907>
of the cup
<03563>
of my fury
<02534>_;
thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)
drink it again
<08354> (8800)_:
But I will put
<07760> (8804)
it into the hand
<03027>
of them that afflict
<03013> (8688)
thee; which have said
<0559> (8804)
to thy soul
<05315>_,
Bow down
<07812> (8798)_,
that we may go over
<05674> (8799)_:
and thou hast laid
<07760> (8799)
thy body
<01460>
as the ground
<0776>_,
and as the street
<02351>_,
to them that went over
<05674> (8802)_.
Awake
<05782> (8798)_,
awake
<05782> (8798)_;
put on
<03847> (8798)
thy strength
<05797>_,
O Zion
<06726>_;
put on
<03847> (8798)
thy beautiful
<08597>
garments
<0899>_,
O Jerusalem
<03389>_,
the holy
<06944>
city
<05892>_:
for henceforth there shall no more
<03254> (8686)
come
<0935> (8799)
into thee the uncircumcised
<06189>
and the unclean
<02931>_.
Shake
<05287> (8690)
thyself from the dust
<06083>_;
arise
<06965> (8798)_,
[and] sit down
<03427> (8798)_,
O Jerusalem
<03389>_:
loose
<06605> (8690)
thyself from the bands
<04147>
of thy neck
<06677>_,
O captive
<07628>
daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Ye have sold
<04376> (8738)
yourselves for nought
<02600>_;
and ye shall be redeemed
<01350> (8735)
without money
<03701>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
My people
<05971>
went down
<03381> (8804)
aforetime
<07223>
into Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there; and the Assyrian
<0804>
oppressed
<06231> (8804)
them without cause
<0657>_.
Now therefore, what have I here, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that my people
<05971>
is taken away
<03947> (8795)
for nought
<02600>_?
they that rule
<04910> (8802)
over them make them to howl
<03213> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and my name
<08034>
continually
<08548>
every day
<03117>
[is] blasphemed
<05006> (8711)_.
Therefore my people
<05971>
shall know
<03045> (8799)
my name
<08034>_:
therefore [they shall know] in that day
<03117>
that I [am] he that doth speak
<01696> (8764)_:
behold, [it is] I.
How beautiful
<04998> (8773)
upon the mountains
<02022>
are the feet
<07272>
of him that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,
that publisheth
<08085> (8688)
peace
<07965>_;
that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)
of good
<02896>_,
that publisheth
<08085> (8688)
salvation
<03444>_;
that saith
<0559> (8802)
unto Zion
<06726>_,
Thy God
<0430>
reigneth
<04427> (8804)_!
Thy watchmen
<06822> (8802)
shall lift up
<05375> (8804)
the voice
<06963>_;
with the voice
<06963>
together
<03162>
shall they sing
<07442> (8762)_:
for they shall see
<07200> (8799)
eye
<05869>
to eye
<05869>_,
when the LORD
<03068>
shall bring again
<07725> (8800)
Zion
<06726>_.
Break forth into joy
<06476> (8798)_,
sing
<07442> (8761)
together
<03162>_,
ye waste places
<02723>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath comforted
<05162> (8765)
his people
<05971>_,
he hath redeemed
<01350> (8804)
Jerusalem
<03389>_.
The LORD
<03068>
hath made bare
<02834> (8804)
his holy
<06944>
arm
<02220>
in the eyes
<05869>
of all the nations
<01471>_;
and all the ends
<0657>
of the earth
<0776>
shall see
<07200> (8804)
the salvation
<03444>
of our God
<0430>_.
Depart
<05493> (8798)
ye, depart
<05493> (8798)
ye, go ye out
<03318> (8798)
from thence, touch
<05060> (8799)
no unclean
<02931>
[thing]; go ye out
<03318> (8798)
of the midst
<08432>
of her; be ye clean
<01305> (8734)_,
that bear
<05375> (8802)
the vessels
<03627>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
For ye shall not go out
<03318> (8799)
with haste
<02649>_,
nor go
<03212> (8799)
by flight
<04499>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
will go
<01980> (8802)
before
<06440>
you; and the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
[will be] your rereward
<0622> (8764)_.
{be...: Heb. gather you up}
Behold, my servant
<05650>
shall deal prudently
<07919> (8686)_,
he shall be exalted
<07311> (8799)
and extolled
<05375> (8738)_,
and be very
<03966>
high
<01361> (8804)_.
{deal...: or, prosper}
As many
<07227>
were astonied
<08074> (8804)
at thee; his visage
<04758>
was so marred
<04893>
more than any man
<0376>_,
and his form
<08389>
more than the sons
<01121>
of men
<0120>_:
So shall he sprinkle
<05137> (8686)
many
<07227>
nations
<01471>_;
the kings
<04428>
shall shut
<07092> (8799)
their mouths
<06310>
at him: for [that] which had not been told
<05608> (8795)
them shall they see
<07200> (8804)_;
and [that] which they had not heard
<08085> (8804)
shall they consider
<0995> (8712)_.
Who hath believed
<0539> (8689)
our report
<08052>_?
and to whom is the arm
<02220>
of the LORD
<03068>
revealed
<01540> (8738)_?
{report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?}
For he shall grow up
<05927> (8799)
before
<06440>
him as a tender plant
<03126>_,
and as a root
<08328>
out of a dry
<06723>
ground
<0776>_:
he hath no form
<08389>
nor comeliness
<01926>_;
and when we shall see
<07200> (8799)
him, [there is] no beauty
<04758>
that we should desire
<02530> (8799)
him.
He is despised
<0959> (8737)
and rejected
<02310>
of men
<0376>_;
a man
<0376>
of sorrows
<04341>_,
and acquainted
<03045> (8803)
with grief
<02483>_:
and we hid as it were
<04564> (8688)
[our] faces
<06440>
from him; he was despised
<0959> (8737)_,
and we esteemed
<02803> (8804)
him not. {we hid...: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
Surely
<0403>
he hath borne
<05375> (8804)
our griefs
<02483>_,
and carried
<05445> (8804)
our sorrows
<04341>_:
yet we did esteem
<02803> (8804)
him stricken
<05060> (8803)_,
smitten
<05221> (8716)
of God
<0430>_,
and afflicted
<06031> (8794)_.
But he [was] wounded
<02490> (8775)
for our transgressions
<06588>_,
[he was] bruised
<01792> (8794)
for our iniquities
<05771>_:
the chastisement
<04148>
of our peace
<07965>
[was] upon him; and with his stripes
<02250>
we are healed
<07495> (8738)_.
{wounded: or, tormented} {stripes: Heb. bruise}
All we like sheep
<06629>
have gone astray
<08582> (8804)_;
we have turned
<06437> (8804)
every one
<0376>
to his own way
<01870>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
hath laid
<06293> (8689)
on him the iniquity
<05771>
of us all. {laid...: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}
He was oppressed
<05065> (8738)_,
and he was afflicted
<06031> (8737)_,
yet he opened
<06605> (8799)
not his mouth
<06310>_:
he is brought
<02986> (8714)
as a lamb
<07716>
to the slaughter
<02874>_,
and as a sheep
<07353>
before
<06440>
her shearers
<01494> (8802)
is dumb
<0481> (8738)_,
so he openeth
<06605> (8799)
not his mouth
<06310>_.
He was taken
<03947> (8795)
from prison
<06115>
and from judgment
<04941>_:
and who shall declare
<07878> (8787)
his generation
<01755>_?
for he was cut off
<01504> (8738)
out of the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_:
for the transgression
<06588>
of my people
<05971>
was he stricken
<05061>_.
{from prison...: or, away by distress and judgment: but, etc} {was he...: Heb. was the stroke upon him}
And he made
<05414> (8799)
his grave
<06913>
with the wicked
<07563>_,
and with the rich
<06223>
in his death
<04194>_;
because he had done
<06213> (8804)
no violence
<02555>_,
neither [was any] deceit
<04820>
in his mouth
<06310>_.
{death: Heb. deaths}
Yet it pleased
<02654> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
to bruise
<01792> (8763)
him; he hath put [him] to grief
<02470> (8689)_:
when thou shalt make
<07760> (8799)
his soul
<05315>
an offering for sin
<0817>_,
he shall see
<07200> (8799)
[his] seed
<02233>_,
he shall prolong
<0748> (8686)
[his] days
<03117>_,
and the pleasure
<02656>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall prosper
<06743> (8799)
in his hand
<03027>_.
{thou...: or, his soul shall make an offering}
He shall see
<07200> (8799)
of the travail
<05999>
of his soul
<05315>_,
[and] shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_:
by his knowledge
<01847>
shall my righteous
<06662>
servant
<05650>
justify
<06663> (8686)
many
<07227>_;
for he shall bear
<05445> (8799)
their iniquities
<05771>_.
Therefore will I divide
<02505> (8762)
him [a portion] with the great
<07227>_,
and he shall divide
<02505> (8762)
the spoil
<07998>
with the strong
<06099>_;
because he hath poured out
<06168> (8689)
his soul
<05315>
unto death
<04194>_:
and he was numbered
<04487> (8738)
with the transgressors
<06586> (8802)_;
and he bare
<05375> (8804)
the sin
<02399>
of many
<07227>_,
and made intercession
<06293> (8686)
for the transgressors
<06586> (8802)_.
Sing
<07442> (8798)_,
O barren
<06135>_,
thou [that] didst not bear
<03205> (8804)_;
break forth
<06476> (8798)
into singing
<07440>_,
and cry aloud
<06670> (8761)_,
thou [that] didst not travail with child
<02342> (8804)_:
for more
<07227>
[are] the children
<01121>
of the desolate
<08074> (8802)
than the children
<01121>
of the married wife
<01166> (8803)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Enlarge
<07337> (8685)
the place
<04725>
of thy tent
<0168>_,
and let them stretch forth
<05186> (8686)
the curtains
<03407>
of thine habitations
<04908>_:
spare
<02820> (8799)
not, lengthen
<0748> (8685)
thy cords
<04340>_,
and strengthen
<02388> (8761)
thy stakes
<03489>_;
For thou shalt break forth
<06555> (8799)
on the right hand
<03225>
and on the left
<08040>_;
and thy seed
<02233>
shall inherit
<03423> (8799)
the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and make the desolate
<08074> (8737)
cities
<05892>
to be inhabited
<03427> (8686)_.
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; for thou shalt not be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_:
neither be thou confounded
<03637> (8735)_;
for thou shalt not be put to shame
<02659> (8686)_:
for thou shalt forget
<07911> (8799)
the shame
<01322>
of thy youth
<05934>_,
and shalt not remember
<02142> (8799)
the reproach
<02781>
of thy widowhood
<0491>
any more.
For thy Maker
<06213> (8802)
[is] thine husband
<01166> (8802)_;
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_;
and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_;
The God
<0430>
of the whole earth
<0776>
shall he be called
<07121> (8735)_.
{Maker: Heb. Makers}
For the LORD
<03068>
hath called
<07121> (8804)
thee as a woman
<0802>
forsaken
<05800> (8803)
and grieved
<06087> (8803)
in spirit
<07307>_,
and a wife
<0802>
of youth
<05271>_,
when thou wast refused
<03988> (8735)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
thy God
<0430>_.
For a small
<06996>
moment
<07281>
have I forsaken
<05800> (8804)
thee; but with great
<01419>
mercies
<07356>
will I gather
<06908> (8762)
thee.
In a little
<08241>
wrath
<07110>
I hid
<05641> (8689)
my face
<06440>
from thee for a moment
<07281>_;
but with everlasting
<05769>
kindness
<02617>
will I have mercy
<07355> (8765)
on thee, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_.
For this [is as] the waters
<04325>
of Noah
<05146>
unto me: for [as] I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
that the waters
<04325>
of Noah
<05146>
should no more go over
<05674> (8800)
the earth
<0776>_;
so have I sworn
<07650> (8738)
that I would not be wroth
<07107> (8800)
with thee, nor rebuke
<01605> (8800)
thee.
For the mountains
<02022>
shall depart
<04185> (8799)_,
and the hills
<01389>
be removed
<04131> (8799)_;
but my kindness
<02617>
shall not depart
<04185> (8799)
from thee, neither shall the covenant
<01285>
of my peace
<07965>
be removed
<04131> (8799)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
that hath mercy
<07355> (8764)
on thee.
O thou afflicted
<06041>_,
tossed with tempest
<05590> (8802)_,
[and] not comforted
<05162> (8794)_,
behold, I will lay
<07257> (8688)
thy stones
<068>
with fair colours
<06320>_,
and lay thy foundations
<03245> (8804)
with sapphires
<05601>_.
And I will make
<07760> (8804)
thy windows
<08121>
of agates
<03539>_,
and thy gates
<08179>
of carbuncles
<068> <0688>_,
and all thy borders
<01366>
of pleasant
<02656>
stones
<068>_.
And all thy children
<01121>
[shall be] taught
<03928>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and great
<07227>
[shall be] the peace
<07965>
of thy children
<01121>_.
In righteousness
<06666>
shalt thou be established
<03559> (8709)_:
thou shalt be far
<07368> (8798)
from oppression
<06233>_;
for thou shalt not fear
<03372> (8799)_:
and from terror
<04288>_;
for it shall not come near
<07126> (8799)
thee.
Behold, they shall surely
<01481> (8800)
gather together
<01481> (8799)_,
[but] not
<0657>
by me: whosoever
<04310>
shall gather together
<01481> (8804)
against thee shall fall
<05307> (8799)
for thy sake.
Behold, I have created
<01254> (8804)
the smith
<02796>
that bloweth
<05301> (8802)
the coals
<06352>
in the fire
<0784>_,
and that bringeth forth
<03318> (8688)
an instrument
<03627>
for his work
<04639>_;
and I have created
<01254> (8804)
the waster
<07843> (8688)
to destroy
<02254> (8763)_.
No weapon
<03627>
that is formed
<03335> (8714)
against thee shall prosper
<06743> (8799)_;
and every tongue
<03956>
[that] shall rise
<06965> (8799)
against thee in judgment
<04941>
thou shalt condemn
<07561> (8686)_.
This [is] the heritage
<05159>
of the servants
<05650>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and their righteousness
<06666>
[is] of me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Ho
<01945>_,
every one that thirsteth
<06771>_,
come
<03212> (8798)
ye to the waters
<04325>_,
and he that hath no money
<03701>_;
come
<03212> (8798)
ye, buy
<07666> (8798)_,
and eat
<0398> (8798)_;
yea, come
<03212> (8798)_,
buy
<07666> (8798)
wine
<03196>
and milk
<02461>
without money
<03701>
and without price
<04242>_.
Wherefore do ye spend
<08254> (8799)
money
<03701>
for [that which is] not bread
<03899>_?
and your labour
<03018>
for [that which] satisfieth
<07654>
not
<03808>_?
hearken
<08085> (8798)
diligently
<08085> (8800)
unto me, and eat
<0398> (8798)
ye [that which is] good
<02896>_,
and let your soul
<05315>
delight
<06026> (8691)
itself in fatness
<01880>_.
{spend: Heb. weigh}
Incline
<05186> (8685)
your ear
<0241>_,
and come
<03212> (8798)
unto me: hear
<08085> (8798)_,
and your soul
<05315>
shall live
<02421> (8799)_;
and I will make
<03772> (8799)
an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>
with you, [even] the sure
<0539> (8737)
mercies
<02617>
of David
<01732>_.
Behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)
him [for] a witness
<05707>
to the people
<03816>_,
a leader
<05057>
and commander
<06680> (8764)
to the people
<03816>_.
Behold, thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)
a nation
<01471>
[that] thou knowest
<03045> (8799)
not, and nations
<01471>
[that] knew
<03045> (8804)
not thee shall run
<07323> (8799)
unto thee because of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
and for the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_;
for he hath glorified
<06286> (8765)
thee.
Seek
<01875> (8798)
ye the LORD
<03068>
while he may be found
<04672> (8736)_,
call
<07121> (8798)
ye upon him while he is near
<07138>_:
Let the wicked
<07563>
forsake
<05800> (8799)
his way
<01870>_,
and the unrighteous
<0205>
man
<0376>
his thoughts
<04284>_:
and let him return
<07725> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and he will have mercy
<07355> (8762)
upon him; and to our God
<0430>_,
for he will abundantly
<07235> (8686)
pardon
<05545> (8800)_.
{the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity} {abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon}
For my thoughts
<04284>
[are] not your thoughts
<04284>_,
neither [are] your ways
<01870>
my ways
<01870>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
For [as] the heavens
<08064>
are higher
<01361> (8804)
than the earth
<0776>_,
so are my ways
<01870>
higher
<01361> (8804)
than your ways
<01870>_,
and my thoughts
<04284>
than your thoughts
<04284>_.
For as the rain
<01653>
cometh down
<03381> (8799)_,
and the snow
<07950>
from heaven
<08064>_,
and returneth
<07725> (8799)
not thither, but watereth
<07301> (8689)
the earth
<0776>_,
and maketh it bring forth
<03205> (8689)
and bud
<06779> (8689)_,
that it may give
<05414> (8804)
seed
<02233>
to the sower
<02232> (8802)_,
and bread
<03899>
to the eater
<0398> (8802)_:
So shall my word
<01697>
be that goeth forth
<03318> (8799)
out of my mouth
<06310>_:
it shall not return
<07725> (8799)
unto me void
<07387>_,
but it shall accomplish
<06213> (8804)
that which I please
<02654> (8804)_,
and it shall prosper
<06743> (8689)
[in the thing] whereto I sent
<07971> (8804)
it.
For ye shall go out
<03318> (8799)
with joy
<08057>_,
and be led forth
<02986> (8714)
with peace
<07965>_:
the mountains
<02022>
and the hills
<01389>
shall break forth
<06476> (8799)
before
<06440>
you into singing
<07440>_,
and all the trees
<06086>
of the field
<07704>
shall clap
<04222> (8799)
[their] hands
<03709>_.
Instead of the thorn
<05285>
shall come up
<05927> (8799)
the fir tree
<01265>_,
and instead of the brier
<05636>
shall come up
<05927> (8799)
the myrtle tree
<01918>_:
and it shall be to the LORD
<03068>
for a name
<08034>_,
for an everlasting
<05769>
sign
<0226>
[that] shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Keep
<08104> (8798)
ye judgment
<04941>_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
justice
<06666>_:
for my salvation
<03444>
[is] near
<07138>
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
and my righteousness
<06666>
to be revealed
<01540> (8736)_.
{judgment: or, equity}
Blessed
<0835>
[is] the man
<0582>
[that] doeth
<06213> (8799)
this, and the son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
[that] layeth hold
<02388> (8686)
on it; that keepeth
<08104> (8802)
the sabbath
<07676>
from polluting
<02490> (8763)
it, and keepeth
<08104> (8802)
his hand
<03027>
from doing
<06213> (8800)
any evil
<07451>_.
Neither let the son
<01121>
of the stranger
<05236>_,
that hath joined
<03867> (8738)
himself to the LORD
<03068>_,
speak
<0559> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath utterly
<0914> (8687)
separated
<0914> (8686)
me from his people
<05971>_:
neither let the eunuch
<05631>
say
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I [am] a dry
<03002>
tree
<06086>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
unto the eunuchs
<05631>
that keep
<08104> (8799)
my sabbaths
<07676>_,
and choose
<0977> (8804)
[the things] that please
<02654> (8804)
me, and take hold
<02388> (8688)
of my covenant
<01285>_;
Even unto them will I give
<05414> (8804)
in mine house
<01004>
and within my walls
<02346>
a place
<03027>
and a name
<08034>
better
<02896>
than of sons
<01121>
and of daughters
<01323>_:
I will give
<05414> (8799)
them an everlasting
<05769>
name
<08034>_,
that shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.
Also the sons
<01121>
of the stranger
<05236>_,
that join
<03867> (8737)
themselves to the LORD
<03068>_,
to serve
<08334> (8763)
him, and to love
<0157> (8800)
the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to be his servants
<05650>_,
every one that keepeth
<08104> (8802)
the sabbath
<07676>
from polluting
<02490> (8763)
it, and taketh hold
<02388> (8688)
of my covenant
<01285>_;
Even them will I bring
<0935> (8689)
to my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_,
and make them joyful
<08055> (8765)
in my house
<01004>
of prayer
<08605>_:
their burnt offerings
<05930>
and their sacrifices
<02077>
[shall be] accepted
<07522>
upon mine altar
<04196>_;
for mine house
<01004>
shall be called
<07121> (8735)
an house
<01004>
of prayer
<08605>
for all people
<05971>_.
The Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
which gathereth
<06908> (8764)
the outcasts
<01760> (8737)
of Israel
<03478>
saith
<05002> (8803)_,
Yet will I gather
<06908> (8762)
[others] to him, beside those that are gathered
<06908> (8737)
unto him. {beside...: Heb. to his gathered}
All ye beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>_,
come
<0857> (8798)
to devour
<0398> (8800)_,
[yea], all ye beasts
<02416>
in the forest
<03293>_.
His watchmen
<06822> (8802)
[are] blind
<05787>_:
they are all ignorant
<03045> (8804)_,
they [are] all dumb
<0483>
dogs
<03611>_,
they cannot
<03201> (8799)
bark
<05024> (8800)_;
sleeping
<01957> (8802)_,
lying down
<07901> (8802)_,
loving
<0157> (8802)
to slumber
<05123> (8800)_.
{sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
Yea, [they are] greedy
<05794> <05315>
dogs
<03611>
[which] can
<03045> (8804)
never have
<03045> (8804)
enough
<07654>_,
and they [are] shepherds
<07462> (8802)
[that] cannot understand
<0995> (8687)_:
they all look
<06437> (8804)
to their own way
<01870>_,
every one
<0376>
for his gain
<01215>_,
from his quarter
<07097>_.
{greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can...: Heb. know not to be satisfied}
Come
<0857> (8798)
ye, [say they], I will fetch
<03947> (8799)
wine
<03196>_,
and we will fill
<05433> (8799)
ourselves with strong drink
<07941>_;
and to morrow
<04279>
shall be as this day
<03117>_,
[and] much
<03966>
more
<03499>
abundant
<01419>_.
The righteous
<06662>
perisheth
<06> (8804)_,
and no man
<0376>
layeth
<07760> (8802)
[it] to heart
<03820>_:
and merciful
<02617>
men
<0582>
[are] taken away
<0622> (8737)_,
none considering
<0995> (8688)
that the righteous
<06662>
is taken away
<0622> (8738)
from
<06440>
the evil
<07451>
[to come]. {merciful...: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from...: or, from that which is evil}
He shall enter
<0935> (8799)
into peace
<07965>_:
they shall rest
<05117> (8799)
in their beds
<04904>_,
[each one] walking
<01980> (8802)
[in] his uprightness
<05228>_.
{enter into: or, go in} {in his...: or, before him}
But draw near
<07126> (8798)
hither, ye sons
<01121>
of the sorceress
<06049> (8781)_,
the seed
<02233>
of the adulterer
<05003> (8764)
and the whore
<02181> (8799)_.
Against whom do ye sport
<06026> (8691)
yourselves? against whom make ye a wide
<07337> (8686)
mouth
<06310>_,
[and] draw out
<0748> (8686)
the tongue
<03956>_?
[are] ye not children
<03206>
of transgression
<06588>_,
a seed
<02233>
of falsehood
<08267>_,
Enflaming
<02552> (8737)
yourselves with idols
<0410>
under every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>_,
slaying
<07819> (8802)
the children
<03206>
in the valleys
<05158>
under the clifts
<05585>
of the rocks
<05553>_?
{with...: or, among the oaks}
Among the smooth
<02511>
[stones] of the stream
<05158>
[is] thy portion
<02506>_;
they, they [are] thy lot
<01486>_:
even to them hast thou poured
<08210> (8804)
a drink offering
<05262>_,
thou hast offered
<05927> (8689)
a meat offering
<04503>_.
Should I receive comfort
<05162> (8735)
in these?
Upon a lofty
<01364>
and high
<05375> (8737)
mountain
<02022>
hast thou set
<07760> (8804)
thy bed
<04904>_:
even thither wentest thou up
<05927> (8804)
to offer
<02076> (8800)
sacrifice
<02077>_.
Behind
<0310>
the doors
<01817>
also and the posts
<04201>
hast thou set up
<07760> (8804)
thy remembrance
<02146>_:
for thou hast discovered
<01540> (8765)
[thyself to another] than me, and art gone up
<05927> (8799)_;
thou hast enlarged
<07337> (8689)
thy bed
<04904>_,
and made
<03772> (8799)
thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst
<0157> (8804)
their bed
<04904>
where
<03027>
thou sawest
<02372> (8804)
[it]. {made...: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where...: or, thou providedst room}
And thou wentest
<07788> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
with ointment
<08081>_,
and didst increase
<07235> (8686)
thy perfumes
<07547>_,
and didst send
<07971> (8762)
thy messengers
<06735>
far off
<07350>_,
and didst debase
<08213> (8686)
[thyself even] unto hell
<07585>_.
{thou...: or, thou respectedst}
Thou art wearied
<03021> (8804)
in the greatness
<07230>
of thy way
<01870>_;
[yet] saidst
<0559> (8804)
thou not, There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:
thou hast found
<04672> (8804)
the life
<02416>
of thine hand
<03027>_;
therefore thou wast not grieved
<02470> (8804)_.
{life: or, living}
And of whom hast thou been afraid
<01672> (8804)
or feared
<03372> (8799)_,
that thou hast lied
<03576> (8762)_,
and hast not remembered
<02142> (8804)
me, nor laid
<07760> (8804)
[it] to thy heart
<03820>_?
have not I held my peace
<02814> (8688)
even of old
<05769>_,
and thou fearest
<03372> (8799)
me not?
I will declare
<05046> (8686)
thy righteousness
<06666>_,
and thy works
<04639>_;
for they shall not profit
<03276> (8686)
thee.
When thou criest
<02199> (8800)_,
let thy companies
<06899>
deliver
<05337> (8686)
thee; but the wind
<07307>
shall carry them all away
<05375> (8799)_;
vanity
<01892>
shall take
<03947> (8799)
[them]: but he that putteth his trust
<02620> (8802)
in me shall possess
<05157> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and shall inherit
<03423> (8799)
my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_;
And shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
Cast ye up
<05549> (8798)_,
cast ye up
<05549> (8798)_,
prepare
<06437> (8761)
the way
<01870>_,
take up
<07311> (8685)
the stumblingblock
<04383>
out of the way
<01870>
of my people
<05971>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the high
<07311> (8802)
and lofty One
<05375> (8737)
that inhabiteth
<07931> (8802)
eternity
<05703>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] Holy
<06918>_;
I dwell
<07931> (8799)
in the high
<04791>
and holy
<06918>
[place], with him also [that is] of a contrite
<01793>
and humble
<08217>
spirit
<07307>_,
to revive
<02421> (8687)
the spirit
<07307>
of the humble
<08217>_,
and to revive
<02421> (8687)
the heart
<03820>
of the contrite ones
<01792> (8737)_.
For I will not contend
<07378> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_,
neither will I be always
<05331>
wroth
<07107> (8799)_:
for the spirit
<07307>
should fail
<05848> (8799)
before
<06440>
me, and the souls
<05397>
[which] I have made
<06213> (8804)_.
For the iniquity
<05771>
of his covetousness
<01215>
was I wroth
<07107> (8804)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
him: I hid
<05641> (8687)
me, and was wroth
<07107> (8799)_,
and he went on
<03212> (8799)
frowardly
<07726>
in the way
<01870>
of his heart
<03820>_.
{frowardly: Heb. turning away}
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
his ways
<01870>_,
and will heal
<07495> (8799)
him: I will lead
<05148> (8686)
him also, and restore
<07999> (8762)
comforts
<05150>
unto him and to his mourners
<057>_.
I create
<01254> (8802)
the fruit
<05108>
of the lips
<08193>_;
Peace
<07965>_,
peace
<07965>
to [him that is] far off
<07350>_,
and to [him that is] near
<07138>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and I will heal
<07495> (8804)
him.
But the wicked
<07563>
[are] like the troubled
<01644> (8737)
sea
<03220>_,
when it cannot
<03201> (8799)
rest
<08252> (8687)_,
whose waters
<04325>
cast up
<01644> (8799)
mire
<07516>
and dirt
<02916>_.
[There is] no peace
<07965>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
my God
<0430>_,
to the wicked
<07563>_.
Cry
<07121> (8798)
aloud
<01627>_,
spare
<02820> (8799)
not, lift
<07311> (8685)
up thy voice
<06963>
like a trumpet
<07782>_,
and shew
<05046> (8685)
my people
<05971>
their transgression
<06588>_,
and the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>
their sins
<02403>_.
{aloud: Heb. with the throat}
Yet they seek
<01875> (8799)
me daily
<03117> <03117>_,
and delight
<02654> (8799)
to know
<01847>
my ways
<01870>_,
as a nation
<01471>
that did
<06213> (8804)
righteousness
<06666>_,
and forsook
<05800> (8804)
not the ordinance
<04941>
of their God
<0430>_:
they ask
<07592> (8799)
of me the ordinances
<04941>
of justice
<06664>_;
they take delight
<02654> (8799)
in approaching
<07132>
to God
<0430>_.
Wherefore have we fasted
<06684> (8804)_,
[say they], and thou seest
<07200> (8804)
not? [wherefore] have we afflicted
<06031> (8765)
our soul
<05315>_,
and thou takest no knowledge
<03045> (8799)_?
Behold, in the day
<03117>
of your fast
<06685>
ye find
<04672> (8799)
pleasure
<02656>_,
and exact
<05065> (8799)
all your labours
<06092>_.
{labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs}
Behold, ye fast
<06684> (8799)
for strife
<07379>
and debate
<04683>_,
and to smite
<05221> (8687)
with the fist
<0106>
of wickedness
<07562>_:
ye shall not fast
<06684> (8799)
as [ye do this] day
<03117>_,
to make your voice
<06963>
to be heard
<08085> (8687)
on high
<04791>_.
{ye shall...: or, ye fast not as this day}
Is it such a fast
<06685>
that I have chosen
<0977> (8799)_?
a day
<03117>
for a man
<0120>
to afflict
<06031> (8763)
his soul
<05315>_?
[is it] to bow down
<03721> (8800)
his head
<07218>
as a bulrush
<0100>_,
and to spread
<03331> (8686)
sackcloth
<08242>
and ashes
<0665>
[under him]? wilt thou call
<07121> (8799)
this
<02088>
a fast
<06685>_,
and an acceptable
<07522>
day
<03117>
to the LORD
<03068>_?
{a day...: or, to afflict his soul for a day?}
[Is] not this the fast
<06685>
that I have chosen
<0977> (8799)_?
to loose
<06605> (8763)
the bands
<02784>
of wickedness
<07562>_,
to undo
<05425> (8687)
the heavy
<04133>
burdens
<092>_,
and to let the oppressed
<07533> (8803)
go
<07971> (8763)
free
<02670>_,
and that ye break
<05423> (8762)
every yoke
<04133>_?
{the heavy...: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}
[Is it] not to deal
<06536> (8800)
thy bread
<03899>
to the hungry
<07457>_,
and that thou bring
<0935> (8686)
the poor
<06041>
that are cast out
<04788>
to thy house
<01004>_?
when thou seest
<07200> (8799)
the naked
<06174>_,
that thou cover
<03680> (8765)
him; and that thou hide
<05956> (8691)
not thyself from thine own flesh
<01320>_?
{cast...: or, afflicted}
Then shall thy light
<0216>
break forth
<01234> (8735)
as the morning
<07837>_,
and thine health
<0724>
shall spring forth
<06779> (8799)
speedily
<04120>_:
and thy righteousness
<06664>
shall go
<01980> (8804)
before
<06440>
thee; the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be thy rereward
<0622> (8799)_.
{be...: Heb. gather thee up}
Then shalt thou call
<07121> (8799)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
shall answer
<06030> (8799)_;
thou shalt cry
<07768> (8762)_,
and he shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
Here I [am]. If thou take away
<05493> (8686)
from the midst
<08432>
of thee the yoke
<04133>_,
the putting forth
<07971> (8800)
of the finger
<0676>_,
and speaking
<01696> (8763)
vanity
<0205>_;
And [if] thou draw out
<06329> (8686)
thy soul
<05315>
to the hungry
<07457>_,
and satisfy
<07646> (8686)
the afflicted
<06031> (8737)
soul
<05315>_;
then shall thy light
<0216>
rise
<02224> (8804)
in obscurity
<02822>_,
and thy darkness
<0653>
[be] as the noonday
<06672>_:
And the LORD
<03068>
shall guide
<05148> (8804)
thee continually
<08548>_,
and satisfy
<07646> (8689)
thy soul
<05315>
in drought
<06710>_,
and make fat
<02502> (8686)
thy bones
<06106>_:
and thou shalt be like a watered
<07302>
garden
<01588>_,
and like a spring
<04161>
of water
<04325>_,
whose waters
<04325>
fail
<03576> (8762)
not. {drought: Heb. droughts} {fail: Heb. lie, or, deceive}
And [they that shall be] of thee shall build
<01129> (8804)
the old
<05769>
waste places
<02723>_:
thou shalt raise up
<06965> (8787)
the foundations
<04146>
of many
<01755>
generations
<01755>_;
and thou shalt be called
<07121> (8795)_,
The repairer
<01443> (8802)
of the breach
<06556>_,
The restorer
<07725> (8789)
of paths
<05410>
to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_.
If thou turn away
<07725> (8686)
thy foot
<07272>
from the sabbath
<07676>_,
[from] doing
<06213> (8800)
thy pleasure
<02656>
on my holy
<06944>
day
<03117>_;
and call
<07121> (8804)
the sabbath
<07676>
a delight
<06027>_,
the holy
<06918>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
honourable
<03513> (8794)_;
and shalt honour
<03513> (8765)
him, not doing
<06213> (8800)
thine own ways
<01870>_,
nor finding
<04672> (8800)
thine own pleasure
<02656>_,
nor speaking
<01696> (8763)
[thine own] words
<01697>_:
Then shalt thou delight
<06026> (8691)
thyself in the LORD
<03068>_;
and I will cause thee to ride
<07392> (8689)
upon the high places
<01116>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and feed
<0398> (8689)
thee with the heritage
<05159>
of Jacob
<03290>
thy father
<01>_:
for the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
Behold
<02005>_,
the LORD'S
<03068>
hand
<03027>
is not shortened
<07114> (8804)_,
that it cannot save
<03467> (8687)_;
neither his ear
<0241>
heavy
<03513> (8804)_,
that it cannot hear
<08085> (8800)_:
But your iniquities
<05771>
have separated
<0914> (8688)
between
<0996>
you and your God
<0430>_,
and your sins
<02403>
have hid
<05641> (8689)
[his] face
<06440>
from you, that he will not hear
<08085> (8800)_.
{have hid: or, have made him hide}
For your hands
<03709>
are defiled
<01351> (8738)
with blood
<01818>_,
and your fingers
<0676>
with iniquity
<05771>_;
your lips
<08193>
have spoken
<01696> (8765)
lies
<08267>_,
your tongue
<03956>
hath muttered
<01897> (8799)
perverseness
<05766>_.
None calleth
<07121> (8802)
for justice
<06664>_,
nor [any] pleadeth
<08199> (8737)
for truth
<0530>_:
they trust
<0982> (8800)
in vanity
<08414>_,
and speak
<01696> (8763)
lies
<07723>_;
they conceive
<02029> (8800)
mischief
<05999>_,
and bring forth
<03205> (8687)
iniquity
<0205>_.
They hatch
<01234> (8765)
cockatrice
<06848>_'
eggs
<01000>_,
and weave
<0707> (8799)
the spider's
<05908>
web
<06980>_:
he that eateth
<0398> (8802)
of their eggs
<01000>
dieth
<04191> (8799)_,
and that which is crushed
<02116>
breaketh out
<01234> (8735)
into a viper
<0660>_.
{cockatrice': or, adder's} {crushed...: or, sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper}
Their webs
<06980>
shall not become garments
<0899>_,
neither shall they cover
<03680> (8691)
themselves with their works
<04639>_:
their works
<04639>
[are] works
<04639>
of iniquity
<0205>_,
and the act
<06467>
of violence
<02555>
[is] in their hands
<03709>_.
Their feet
<07272>
run
<07323> (8799)
to evil
<07451>_,
and they make haste
<04116> (8762)
to shed
<08210> (8800)
innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>_:
their thoughts
<04284>
[are] thoughts
<04284>
of iniquity
<0205>_;
wasting
<07701>
and destruction
<07667>
[are] in their paths
<04546>_.
{destruction: Heb. breaking}
The way
<01870>
of peace
<07965>
they know
<03045> (8804)
not; and [there is] no judgment
<04941>
in their goings
<04570>_:
they have made them crooked
<06140> (8765)
paths
<05410>_:
whosoever goeth
<01869> (8802)
therein shall not know
<03045> (8804)
peace
<07965>_.
{judgment: or, right}
Therefore is judgment
<04941>
far
<07368> (8804)
from us, neither doth justice
<06666>
overtake
<05381> (8686)
us: we wait
<06960> (8762)
for light
<0216>_,
but behold obscurity
<02822>_;
for brightness
<05054>_,
[but] we walk
<01980> (8762)
in darkness
<0653>_.
We grope
<01659> (8762)
for the wall
<07023>
like the blind
<05787>_,
and we grope
<01659> (8762)
as if [we had] no eyes
<05869>_:
we stumble
<03782> (8804)
at noonday
<06672>
as in the night
<05399>_;
[we are] in desolate
<0820>
places as dead
<04191> (8801)
[men].
We roar
<01993> (8799)
all like bears
<01677>_,
and mourn
<01897> (8799)
sore
<01897> (8800)
like doves
<03123>_:
we look
<06960> (8762)
for judgment
<04941>_,
but [there is] none; for salvation
<03444>_,
[but] it is far off
<07368> (8804)
from us.
For our transgressions
<06588>
are multiplied
<07231> (8804)
before thee, and our sins
<02403>
testify
<06030> (8804)
against us: for our transgressions
<06588>
[are] with us; and [as for] our iniquities
<05771>_,
we know
<03045> (8804)
them;
In transgressing
<06586> (8800)
and lying
<03584> (8763)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
and departing away
<05253> (8800)
from
<0310>
our God
<0430>_,
speaking
<01696> (8763)
oppression
<06233>
and revolt
<05627>_,
conceiving
<02029> (8780)
and uttering
<01897> (8774)
from the heart
<03820>
words
<01697>
of falsehood
<08267>_.
And judgment
<04941>
is turned away
<05253> (8717)
backward
<0268>_,
and justice
<06666>
standeth
<05975> (8799)
afar off
<07350>_:
for truth
<0571>
is fallen
<03782> (8804)
in the street
<07339>_,
and equity
<05229>
cannot
<03201> (8799)
enter
<0935> (8800)_.
Yea, truth
<0571>
faileth
<05737> (8737)_;
and he [that] departeth
<05493> (8804)
from evil
<07451>
maketh himself a prey
<07997> (8711)_:
and the LORD
<03068>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[it], and it displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>
him that [there was] no judgment
<04941>_.
{maketh...: or, is accounted mad} {it displeased...: Heb. it was evil in his eyes}
And he saw
<07200> (8799)
that [there was] no man
<0376>_,
and wondered
<08074> (8709)
that [there was] no intercessor
<06293> (8688)_:
therefore his arm
<02220>
brought salvation
<03467> (8686)
unto him; and his righteousness
<06666>_,
it sustained
<05564> (8804)
him.
For he put on
<03847> (8799)
righteousness
<06666>
as a breastplate
<08302>_,
and an helmet
<03553>
of salvation
<03444>
upon his head
<07218>_;
and he put on
<03847> (8799)
the garments
<0899>
of vengeance
<05359>
[for] clothing
<08516>_,
and was clad
<05844> (8799)
with zeal
<07068>
as a cloke
<04598>_.
According to
<05921>
[their] deeds
<01578>_,
accordingly he will repay
<07999> (8762)_,
fury
<02534>
to his adversaries
<06862>_,
recompence
<01576>
to his enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
to the islands
<0339>
he will repay
<07999> (8762)
recompence
<01576>_.
{deeds: Heb. recompences}
So shall they fear
<03372> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
from the west
<04628>_,
and his glory
<03519>
from the rising
<04217>
of the sun
<08121>_.
When the enemy
<06862>
shall come in
<0935> (8799)
like a flood
<05104>_,
the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall lift up a standard
<05127> (8790)
against him. {lift...: or, put him to flight}
And the Redeemer
<01350> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8804)
to Zion
<06726>_,
and unto them that turn
<07725> (8802)
from transgression
<06588>
in Jacob
<03290>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
As for me, this [is] my covenant
<01285>
with them, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
My spirit
<07307>
that [is] upon thee, and my words
<01697>
which I have put
<07760> (8804)
in thy mouth
<06310>_,
shall not depart
<04185> (8799)
out of thy mouth
<06310>_,
nor out of the mouth
<06310>
of thy seed
<02233>_,
nor out of the mouth
<06310>
of thy seed's
<02233>
seed
<02233>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
from henceforth and for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
shine
<0215> (8798)_;
for thy light
<0216>
is come
<0935> (8804)_,
and the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
is risen
<02224> (8804)
upon thee. {shine...: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh}
For, behold, the darkness
<02822>
shall cover
<03680> (8762)
the earth
<0776>_,
and gross darkness
<06205>
the people
<03816>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
shall arise
<02224> (8799)
upon thee, and his glory
<03519>
shall be seen
<07200> (8735)
upon thee.
And the Gentiles
<01471>
shall come
<01980> (8804)
to thy light
<0216>_,
and kings
<04428>
to the brightness
<05051>
of thy rising
<02225>_.
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>
round about
<05439>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)_:
all they gather themselves together
<06908> (8738)_,
they come
<0935> (8804)
to thee: thy sons
<01121>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
from far
<07350>_,
and thy daughters
<01323>
shall be nursed
<0539> (8735)
at [thy] side
<06654>_.
Then thou shalt see
<07200> (8799) (8675) <03372> (8799)_,
and flow together
<05102> (8804)_,
and thine heart
<03824>
shall fear
<06342> (8804)_,
and be enlarged
<07337> (8804)_;
because the abundance
<01995>
of the sea
<03220>
shall be converted
<02015> (8735)
unto thee, the forces
<02428>
of the Gentiles
<01471>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee. {abundance...: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward thee} {forces: or, wealth}
The multitude
<08229>
of camels
<01581>
shall cover
<03680> (8762)
thee, the dromedaries
<01070>
of Midian
<04080>
and Ephah
<05891>_;
all they from Sheba
<07614>
shall come
<0935> (8799)_:
they shall bring
<05375> (8799)
gold
<02091>
and incense
<03828>_;
and they shall shew forth
<01319> (8762)
the praises
<08416>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
All the flocks
<06629>
of Kedar
<06938>
shall be gathered together
<06908> (8735)
unto thee, the rams
<0352>
of Nebaioth
<05032>
shall minister
<08334> (8762)
unto thee: they shall come up
<05927> (8799)
with acceptance
<07522>
on mine altar
<04196>_,
and I will glorify
<06286> (8762)
the house
<01004>
of my glory
<08597>_.
Who [are] these [that] fly
<05774> (8799)
as a cloud
<05645>_,
and as the doves
<03123>
to their windows
<0699>_?
Surely the isles
<0339>
shall wait
<06960> (8762)
for me, and the ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>
first
<07223>_,
to bring
<0935> (8687)
thy sons
<01121>
from far
<07350>_,
their silver
<03701>
and their gold
<02091>
with them, unto the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
and to the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
because he hath glorified
<06286> (8765)
thee.
And the sons
<01121>
of strangers
<05236>
shall build up
<01129> (8804)
thy walls
<02346>_,
and their kings
<04428>
shall minister
<08334> (8762)
unto thee: for in my wrath
<07110>
I smote
<05221> (8689)
thee, but in my favour
<07522>
have I had mercy
<07355> (8765)
on thee.
Therefore thy gates
<08179>
shall be open
<06605> (8765)
continually
<08548>_;
they shall not be shut
<05462> (8735)
day
<03119>
nor night
<03915>_;
that [men] may bring
<0935> (8687)
unto thee the forces
<02428>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and [that] their kings
<04428>
[may be] brought
<05090> (8803)_.
{forces: or, wealth}
For the nation
<01471>
and kingdom
<04467>
that will not serve
<05647> (8799)
thee shall perish
<06> (8799)_;
yea, [those] nations
<01471>
shall be utterly
<02717> (8800)
wasted
<02717> (8799)_.
The glory
<03519>
of Lebanon
<03844>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee, the fir tree
<01265>_,
the pine tree
<08410>_,
and the box
<08391>
together
<03162>_,
to beautify
<06286> (8763)
the place
<04725>
of my sanctuary
<04720>_;
and I will make the place
<04725>
of my feet
<07272>
glorious
<03513> (8762)_.
The sons
<01121>
also of them that afflicted
<06031> (8764)
thee shall come
<01980> (8804)
bending
<07817> (8800)
unto thee; and all they that despised
<05006> (8764)
thee shall bow themselves down
<07812> (8694)
at the soles
<03709>
of thy feet
<07272>_;
and they shall call
<07121> (8804)
thee, The city
<05892>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
The Zion
<06726>
of the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Whereas
<08478>
thou hast been forsaken
<05800> (8803)
and hated
<08130> (8803)_,
so that no man went through
<05674> (8802)
[thee], I will make
<07760> (8804)
thee an eternal
<05769>
excellency
<01347>_,
a joy
<04885>
of many
<01755>
generations
<01755>_.
Thou shalt also suck
<03243> (8804)
the milk
<02461>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and shalt suck
<03243> (8799)
the breast
<07699>
of kings
<04428>_:
and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I the LORD
<03068>
[am] thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)
and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the mighty One
<046>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
For brass
<05178>
I will bring
<0935> (8686)
gold
<02091>_,
and for iron
<01270>
I will bring
<0935> (8686)
silver
<03701>_,
and for wood
<06086>
brass
<05178>_,
and for stones
<068>
iron
<01270>_:
I will also make
<07760> (8804)
thy officers
<06486>
peace
<07965>_,
and thine exactors
<05065> (8802)
righteousness
<06666>_.
Violence
<02555>
shall no more be heard
<08085> (8735)
in thy land
<0776>_,
wasting
<07701>
nor destruction
<07667>
within thy borders
<01366>_;
but thou shalt call
<07121> (8804)
thy walls
<02346>
Salvation
<03444>_,
and thy gates
<08179>
Praise
<08416>_.
The sun
<08121>
shall be no more thy light
<0216>
by day
<03119>_;
neither for brightness
<05051>
shall the moon
<03394>
give light
<0216>
unto thee: but the LORD
<03068>
shall be unto thee an everlasting
<05769>
light
<0215> (8686)_,
and thy God
<0430>
thy glory
<08597>_.
Thy sun
<08121>
shall no more go down
<0935> (8799)_;
neither shall thy moon
<03391>
withdraw
<0622> (8735)
itself: for the LORD
<03068>
shall be thine everlasting
<05769>
light
<0216>_,
and the days
<03117>
of thy mourning
<060>
shall be ended
<07999> (8804)_.
Thy people
<05971>
also [shall be] all righteous
<06662>_:
they shall inherit
<03423> (8799)
the land
<0776>
for ever
<05769>_,
the branch
<05342>
of my planting
<04302>_,
the work
<04639>
of my hands
<03027>_,
that I may be glorified
<06286> (8692)_.
A little one
<06996>
shall become a thousand
<0505>_,
and a small one
<06810>
a strong
<06099>
nation
<01471>_:
I the LORD
<03068>
will hasten
<02363> (8686)
it in his time
<06256>_.
The Spirit
<07307>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
[is] upon me; because the LORD
<03068>
hath anointed
<04886> (8804)
me to preach good tidings
<01319> (8763)
unto the meek
<06035>_;
he hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to bind up
<02280> (8800)
the brokenhearted
<07665> (8737) <03820>_,
to proclaim
<07121> (8800)
liberty
<01865>
to the captives
<07617> (8803)_,
and the opening of the prison
<06495>
to [them that are] bound
<0631> (8803)_;
To proclaim
<07121> (8800)
the acceptable
<07522>
year
<08141>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the day
<03117>
of vengeance
<05359>
of our God
<0430>_;
to comfort
<05162> (8763)
all that mourn
<057>_;
To appoint
<07760> (8800)
unto them that mourn
<057>
in Zion
<06726>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
unto them beauty
<06287>
for ashes
<0665>_,
the oil
<08081>
of joy
<08342>
for mourning
<060>_,
the garment
<04594>
of praise
<08416>
for the spirit
<07307>
of heaviness
<03544>_;
that they might be called
<07121> (8795)
trees
<0352>
of righteousness
<06664>_,
the planting
<04302>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he might be glorified
<06286> (8692)_.
And they shall build
<01129> (8804)
the old
<05769>
wastes
<02723>_,
they shall raise up
<06965> (8787)
the former
<07223>
desolations
<08074> (8802)_,
and they shall repair
<02318> (8765)
the waste
<02721>
cities
<05892>_,
the desolations
<08074> (8802)
of many
<01755>
generations
<01755>_.
And strangers
<02114> (8801)
shall stand
<05975> (8804)
and feed
<07462> (8804)
your flocks
<06629>_,
and the sons
<01121>
of the alien
<05236>
[shall be] your plowmen
<0406>
and your vinedressers
<03755>_.
But ye shall be named
<07121> (8735)
the Priests
<03548>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
[men] shall call
<0559> (8735)
you the Ministers
<08334> (8764)
of our God
<0430>_:
ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)
the riches
<02428>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and in their glory
<03519>
shall ye boast
<03235> (8691)
yourselves.
For your shame
<01322>
[ye shall have] double
<04932>_;
and [for] confusion
<03639>
they shall rejoice
<07442> (8799)
in their portion
<02506>_:
therefore in their land
<0776>
they shall possess
<03423> (8799)
the double
<04932>_:
everlasting
<05769>
joy
<08057>
shall be unto them.
For I the LORD
<03068>
love
<0157> (8802)
judgment
<04941>_,
I hate
<08130> (8802)
robbery
<01498>
for burnt offering
<05930>_;
and I will direct
<05414> (8804)
their work
<06468>
in truth
<0571>_,
and I will make
<03772> (8799)
an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>
with them.
And their seed
<02233>
shall be known
<03045> (8738)
among the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and their offspring
<06631>
among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_:
all that see
<07200> (8802)
them shall acknowledge
<05234> (8686)
them, that they [are] the seed
<02233>
[which] the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)_.
I will greatly
<07797> (8800)
rejoice
<07797> (8799)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
my soul
<05315>
shall be joyful
<01523> (8799)
in my God
<0430>_;
for he hath clothed
<03847> (8689)
me with the garments
<0899>
of salvation
<03468>_,
he hath covered
<03271> (8804)
me with the robe
<04598>
of righteousness
<06666>_,
as a bridegroom
<02860>
decketh
<03547> (8762)
[himself] with ornaments
<06287>_,
and as a bride
<03618>
adorneth
<05710> (8799)
[herself] with her jewels
<03627>_.
{decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest}
For as the earth
<0776>
bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)
her bud
<06780>_,
and as the garden
<01593>
causeth the things that are sown
<02221>
in it to spring forth
<06779> (8686)_;
so the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
will cause righteousness
<06666>
and praise
<08416>
to spring forth
<06779> (8686)
before all the nations
<01471>_.
For Zion's
<06726>
sake will I not hold my peace
<02814> (8799)_,
and for Jerusalem's
<03389>
sake I will not rest
<08252> (8799)_,
until the righteousness
<06664>
thereof go forth
<03318> (8799)
as brightness
<05051>_,
and the salvation
<03444>
thereof as a lamp
<03940>
[that] burneth
<01197> (8799)_.
And the Gentiles
<01471>
shall see
<07200> (8804)
thy righteousness
<06664>_,
and all kings
<04428>
thy glory
<03519>_:
and thou shalt be called
<07121> (8795)
by a new
<02319>
name
<05344> (8799)_,
which the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall name
<08034>_.
Thou shalt also be a crown
<05850>
of glory
<08597>
in the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and a royal
<04410>
diadem
<06797> (8675) <06797>
in the hand
<03709>
of thy God
<0430>_.
Thou shalt no more be termed
<0559> (8735)
Forsaken
<05800> (8803)_;
neither shall thy land
<0776>
any more be termed
<0559> (8735)
Desolate
<08077>_:
but thou shalt be called
<07121> (8735)
Hephzibah
<02657>_,
and thy land
<0776>
Beulah
<01166> (8803)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
delighteth
<02654> (8804)
in thee, and thy land
<0776>
shall be married
<01166> (8735)_.
{Hephzibah: that is, My delight is in her} {Beulah: that is, Married}
For [as] a young man
<0970>
marrieth
<01166> (8799)
a virgin
<01330>_,
[so] shall thy sons
<01121>
marry
<01166> (8799)
thee: and [as] the bridegroom
<02860>
rejoiceth
<04885>
over the bride
<03618>_,
[so] shall thy God
<0430>
rejoice
<07797> (8799)
over thee. {as the...: Heb. with the joy of the bridegroom}
I have set
<06485> (8689)
watchmen
<08104> (8802)
upon thy walls
<02346>_,
O Jerusalem
<03389>_,
[which] shall never
<08548>
hold their peace
<02814> (8799)
day
<03117>
nor night
<03915>_:
ye that make mention
<02142> (8688)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
keep not silence
<01824>_,
{make...: or, are the LORD's remembrancers}
And give
<05414> (8799)
him no rest
<01824>_,
till he establish
<03559> (8787)_,
and till he make
<07760> (8799)
Jerusalem
<03389>
a praise
<08416>
in the earth
<0776>_.
{rest: Heb. silence}
The LORD
<03068>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
by his right hand
<03225>_,
and by the arm
<02220>
of his strength
<05797>_,
Surely I will
<0518>
no more give
<05414> (8799)
thy corn
<01715>
[to be] meat
<03978>
for thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
and the sons
<01121>
of the stranger
<05236>
shall not drink
<08354> (8799)
thy wine
<08492>_,
for the which thou hast laboured
<03021> (8804)_:
{Surely...: Heb. If I give, etc}
But they that have gathered
<0622> (8764)
it shall eat
<0398> (8799)
it, and praise
<01984> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and they that have brought it together
<06908> (8764)
shall drink
<08354> (8799)
it in the courts
<02691>
of my holiness
<06944>_.
Go through
<05674> (8798)_,
go through
<05674> (8798)
the gates
<08179>_;
prepare
<06437> (8761)
ye the way
<01870>
of the people
<05971>_;
cast up
<05549> (8798)_,
cast up
<05549> (8798)
the highway
<04546>_;
gather out
<05619> (8761)
the stones
<068>_;
lift up
<07311> (8685)
a standard
<05251>
for the people
<05971>_.
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
hath proclaimed
<08085> (8689)
unto the end
<07097>
of the world
<0776>_,
Say
<0559> (8798)
ye to the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
Behold, thy salvation
<03468>
cometh
<0935> (8802)_;
behold, his reward
<07939>
[is] with him, and his work
<06468>
before
<06440>
him. {work: or, recompence}
And they shall call
<07121> (8804)
them, The holy
<06944>
people
<05971>_,
The redeemed
<01350> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and thou shalt be called
<07121> (8735)_,
Sought out
<01875> (8803)_,
A city
<05892>
not forsaken
<05800> (8737)_.
Who [is] this that cometh
<0935> (8802)
from Edom
<0123>_,
with dyed
<02556> (8803)
garments
<0899>
from Bozrah
<01224>_?
this [that is] glorious
<01921> (8803)
in his apparel
<03830>_,
travelling
<06808> (8802)
in the greatness
<07230>
of his strength
<03581>_?
I that speak
<01696> (8764)
in righteousness
<06666>_,
mighty
<07227>
to save
<03467> (8687)_.
{glorious: Heb. decked}
Wherefore [art thou] red
<0122>
in thine apparel
<03830>_,
and thy garments
<0899>
like him that treadeth
<01869> (8802)
in the winefat
<01660>_?
I have trodden
<01869> (8804)
the winepress
<06333>
alone; and of the people
<05971>
[there was] none
<0376>
with me: for I will tread
<01869> (8799)
them in mine anger
<0639>_,
and trample
<07429> (8799)
them in my fury
<02534>_;
and their blood
<05332>
shall be sprinkled
<05137> (8799)
upon my garments
<0899>_,
and I will stain
<01351> (8689)
all my raiment
<04403>_.
For the day
<03117>
of vengeance
<05359>
[is] in mine heart
<03820>_,
and the year
<08141>
of my redeemed
<01350> (8803)
is come
<0935> (8804)_.
And I looked
<05027> (8686)_,
and [there was] none to help
<05826> (8802)_;
and I wondered
<08074> (8709)
that [there was] none to uphold
<05564> (8802)_:
therefore mine own arm
<02220>
brought salvation
<03467> (8686)
unto me; and my fury
<02534>_,
it upheld
<05564> (8804)
me.
And I will tread down
<0947> (8799)
the people
<05971>
in mine anger
<0639>_,
and make them drunk
<07937> (8762)
in my fury
<02534>_,
and I will bring down
<03381> (8686)
their strength
<05332>
to the earth
<0776>_.
I will mention
<02142> (8686)
the lovingkindnesses
<02617>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] the praises
<08416>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that the LORD
<03068>
hath bestowed
<01580> (8804)
on us, and the great
<07227>
goodness
<02898>
toward the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which he hath bestowed
<01580> (8804)
on them according to his mercies
<07356>_,
and according to the multitude
<07230>
of his lovingkindnesses
<02617>_.
For he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely they [are] my people
<05971>_,
children
<01121>
[that] will not lie
<08266> (8762)_:
so he was their Saviour
<03467> (8688)_.
In all their affliction
<06869>
he was afflicted
<06862>_,
and the angel
<04397>
of his presence
<06440>
saved
<03467> (8689)
them: in his love
<0160>
and in his pity
<02551>
he redeemed
<01350> (8804)
them; and he bare
<05190> (8762)
them, and carried
<05375> (8762)
them all the days
<03117>
of old
<05769>_.
But they rebelled
<04784> (8804)_,
and vexed
<06087> (8765)
his holy
<06944>
Spirit
<07307>_:
therefore he was turned
<02015> (8735)
to be their enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
[and] he fought
<03898> (8738)
against them.
Then he remembered
<02142> (8799)
the days
<03117>
of old
<05769>_,
Moses
<04872>_,
[and] his people
<05971>_,
[saying], Where [is] he that brought them up
<05927> (8688)
out of the sea
<03220>
with the shepherd
<07462> (8802)
of his flock
<06629>_?
where [is] he that put
<07760> (8802)
his holy
<06944>
Spirit
<07307>
within
<07130>
him? {shepherd: or, shepherds}
That led
<03212> (8688)
[them] by the right hand
<03225>
of Moses
<04872>
with his glorious
<08597>
arm
<02220>_,
dividing
<01234> (8802)
the water
<04325>
before
<06440>
them, to make
<06213> (8800)
himself an everlasting
<05769>
name
<08034>_?
That led
<03212> (8688)
them through the deep
<08415>_,
as an horse
<05483>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[that] they should not stumble
<03782> (8735)_?
As a beast
<0929>
goeth down
<03381> (8799)
into the valley
<01237>_,
the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
caused him to rest
<05117> (8686)_:
so didst thou lead
<05090> (8765)
thy people
<05971>_,
to make
<06213> (8800)
thyself a glorious
<08597>
name
<08034>_.
Look down
<05027> (8685)
from heaven
<08064>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
from the habitation
<02073>
of thy holiness
<06944>
and of thy glory
<08597>_:
where [is] thy zeal
<07068>
and thy strength
<01369>_,
the sounding
<01995>
of thy bowels
<04578>
and of thy mercies
<07356>
toward me? are they restrained
<0662> (8694)_?
{the sounding: or, the multitude}
Doubtless
<03588>
thou [art] our father
<01>_,
though Abraham
<085>
be ignorant
<03808> <03045> (8804)
of us, and Israel
<03478>
acknowledge
<05234> (8686)
us not: thou, O LORD
<03068>_,
[art] our father
<01>_,
our redeemer
<01350> (8802)_;
thy name
<08034>
[is] from everlasting
<05769>_.
{our redeemer...: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name}
O LORD
<03068>_,
why hast thou made us to err
<08582> (8686)
from thy ways
<01870>_,
[and] hardened
<07188> (8686)
our heart
<03820>
from thy fear
<03374>_?
Return
<07725> (8798)
for thy servants
<05650>_'
sake, the tribes
<07626>
of thine inheritance
<05159>_.
The people
<05971>
of thy holiness
<06944>
have possessed
<03423> (8804)
[it] but a little while
<04705>_:
our adversaries
<06862>
have trodden down
<0947> (8790)
thy sanctuary
<04720>_.
We are [thine]: thou never
<05769>
barest rule
<04910> (8804)
over them; they were not called
<07121> (8738)
by thy name
<08034>_.
{they...: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
Oh
<03863>
that thou wouldest rend
<07167> (8804)
the heavens
<08064>_,
that thou wouldest come down
<03381> (8804)_,
that the mountains
<02022>
might flow down
<02151> (8738)
at thy presence
<06440>_,
As [when] the melting
<02003>
fire
<0784>
burneth
<06919> (8800)_,
the fire
<0784>
causeth the waters
<04325>
to boil
<01158> (8799)_,
to make thy name
<08034>
known
<03045> (8687)
to thine adversaries
<06862>_,
[that] the nations
<01471>
may tremble
<07264> (8799)
at thy presence
<06440>_!
{the melting...: Heb. the fire of meltings}
When thou didst
<06213> (8800)
terrible things
<03372> (8737)
[which] we looked
<06960> (8762)
not for, thou camest down
<03381> (8804)_,
the mountains
<02022>
flowed down
<02151> (8738)
at thy presence
<06440>_.
For since the beginning of the world
<05769>
[men] have not heard
<08085> (8804)_,
nor perceived by the ear
<0238> (8689)_,
neither hath the eye
<05869>
seen
<07200> (8804)_,
O God
<0430>_,
beside
<02108>
thee, [what] he hath prepared
<06213> (8799)
for him that waiteth
<02442> (8764)
for him. {seen...: or, seen a God beside thee, which doeth so for him, etc}
Thou meetest
<06293> (8804)
him that rejoiceth
<07797> (8801)
and worketh
<06213> (8802)
righteousness
<06664>_,
[those that] remember
<02142> (8799)
thee in thy ways
<01870>_:
behold, thou art wroth
<07107> (8804)_;
for we have sinned
<02398> (8799)_:
in those is continuance
<05769>_,
and we shall be saved
<03467> (8735)_.
But we are all as an unclean
<02931>
[thing], and all our righteousnesses
<06666>
[are] as filthy
<05708>
rags
<0899>_;
and we all do fade
<05034> (8799) (8676) <01101> (8686)
as a leaf
<05929>_;
and our iniquities
<05771>_,
like the wind
<07307>_,
have taken us away
<05375> (8799)_.
And [there is] none that calleth
<07121> (8802)
upon thy name
<08034>_,
that stirreth up
<05782> (8711)
himself to take hold
<02388> (8687)
of thee: for thou hast hid
<05641> (8689)
thy face
<06440>
from us, and hast consumed
<04127> (8799)
us, because
<03027>
of our iniquities
<05771>_.
{consumed: Heb. melted} {because: Heb. by the hand}
But now, O LORD
<03068>_,
thou [art] our father
<01>_;
we [are] the clay
<02563>_,
and thou our potter
<03335> (8802)_;
and we all [are] the work
<04639>
of thy hand
<03027>_.
Be not wroth
<07107> (8799)
very sore
<03966>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
neither remember
<02142> (8799)
iniquity
<05771>
for ever
<05703>_:
behold, see
<05027> (8685)_,
we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people
<05971>_.
Thy holy
<06944>
cities
<05892>
are a wilderness
<04057>_,
Zion
<06726>
is a wilderness
<04057>_,
Jerusalem
<03389>
a desolation
<08077>_.
Our holy
<06944>
and our beautiful
<08597>
house
<01004>_,
where our fathers
<01>
praised
<01984> (8765)
thee, is burned up
<08316>
with fire
<0784>_:
and all our pleasant things
<04261>
are laid waste
<02723>_.
Wilt thou refrain
<0662> (8691)
thyself for these [things], O LORD
<03068>_?
wilt thou hold thy peace
<02814> (8799)_,
and afflict
<06031> (8762)
us very sore
<03966>_?
I am sought
<01875> (8738)
of [them that] asked
<07592> (8804)
not
<03808>
[for me]; I am found
<04672> (8738)
of [them that] sought
<01245> (8765)
me not
<03808>_:
I said
<0559> (8804)_,
Behold me, behold me, unto a nation
<01471>
[that] was not called
<07121> (8795)
by my name
<08034>_.
I have spread out
<06566> (8765)
my hands
<03027>
all the day
<03117>
unto a rebellious
<05637> (8802)
people
<05971>_,
which walketh
<01980> (8802)
in a way
<01870>
[that was] not good
<02896>_,
after
<0310>
their own thoughts
<04284>_;
A people
<05971>
that provoketh me to anger
<03707> (8688)
continually
<08548>
to my face
<06440>_;
that sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)
in gardens
<01593>_,
and burneth incense
<06999> (8764)
upon altars of brick
<03843>_;
{upon...: Heb. upon bricks}
Which remain
<03427> (8802)
among the graves
<06913>_,
and lodge
<03885> (8799)
in the monuments
<05341> (8803)_,
which eat
<0398> (8802)
swine's
<02386>
flesh
<01320>_,
and broth
<04839> (8675) <06564>
of abominable
<06292>
[things is in] their vessels
<03627>_;
{broth: or, pieces}
Which say
<0559> (8802)_,
Stand
<07126> (8798)
by thyself, come not near
<05066> (8799)
to me; for I am holier
<06942> (8804)
than thou. These [are] a smoke
<06227>
in my nose
<0639>_,
a fire
<0784>
that burneth
<03344> (8802)
all the day
<03117>_.
{nose: or, anger}
Behold, [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
before
<06440>
me: I will not keep silence
<02814> (8799)_,
but will recompense
<07999> (8765)_,
even recompense
<07999> (8765)
into their bosom
<02436>_,
Your iniquities
<05771>_,
and the iniquities
<05771>
of your fathers
<01>
together
<03162>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which have burned incense
<06999> (8765)
upon the mountains
<02022>_,
and blasphemed
<02778> (8765)
me upon the hills
<01389>_:
therefore will I measure
<04058> (8804)
their former
<07223>
work
<06468>
into their bosom
<02436>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
As the new wine
<08492>
is found
<04672> (8735)
in the cluster
<0811>_,
and [one] saith
<0559> (8804)_,
Destroy
<07843> (8686)
it not; for a blessing
<01293>
[is] in it: so will I do
<06213> (8799)
for my servants
<05650>_'
sakes, that I may not destroy
<07843> (8687)
them all.
And I will bring forth
<03318> (8689)
a seed
<02233>
out of Jacob
<03290>_,
and out of Judah
<03063>
an inheritor
<03423> (8802)
of my mountains
<02022>_:
and mine elect
<0972>
shall inherit
<03423> (8804)
it, and my servants
<05650>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
there.
And Sharon
<08289>
shall be a fold
<05116>
of flocks
<06629>_,
and the valley
<06010>
of Achor
<05911>
a place for the herds
<01241>
to lie down in
<07258>_,
for my people
<05971>
that have sought
<01875> (8804)
me.
But ye [are] they that forsake
<05800> (8802)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that forget
<07913>
my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_,
that prepare
<06186> (8802)
a table
<07979>
for that troop
<01409> (8677) <01408>_,
and that furnish
<04390> (8764)
the drink offering
<04469>
unto that number
<04507>_.
{troop: or, Gad} {number: or, Meni, a pagan god}
Therefore will I number
<04487> (8804)
you to the sword
<02719>_,
and ye shall all bow down
<03766> (8799)
to the slaughter
<02874>_:
because when I called
<07121> (8804)_,
ye did not answer
<06030> (8804)_;
when I spake
<01696> (8765)_,
ye did not hear
<08085> (8804)_;
but did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
before mine eyes
<05869>_,
and did choose
<0977> (8804)
[that] wherein I delighted
<02654> (8804)
not.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
Behold, my servants
<05650>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)_,
but ye shall be hungry
<07456> (8799)_:
behold, my servants
<05650>
shall drink
<08354> (8799)_,
but ye shall be thirsty
<06770> (8799)_:
behold, my servants
<05650>
shall rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,
but ye shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_:
Behold, my servants
<05650>
shall sing
<07442> (8799)
for joy
<02898>
of heart
<03820>_,
but ye shall cry
<06817> (8799)
for sorrow
<03511>
of heart
<03820>_,
and shall howl
<03213> (8686)
for vexation
<07667>
of spirit
<07307>_.
{vexation: Heb. breaking}
And ye shall leave
<03240> (8689)
your name
<08034>
for a curse
<07621>
unto my chosen
<0972>_:
for the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
shall slay
<04191> (8689)
thee, and call
<07121> (8799)
his servants
<05650>
by another
<0312>
name
<08034>_:
That he who blesseth
<01288> (8693)
himself in the earth
<0776>
shall bless
<01288> (8691)
himself in the God
<0430>
of truth
<0543>_;
and he that sweareth
<07650> (8737)
in the earth
<0776>
shall swear
<07650> (8735)
by the God
<0430>
of truth
<0543>_;
because the former
<07223>
troubles
<06869>
are forgotten
<07911> (8738)_,
and because they are hid
<05641> (8738)
from mine eyes
<05869>_.
For, behold, I create
<01254> (8802)
new
<02319>
heavens
<08064>
and a new
<02319>
earth
<0776>_:
and the former
<07223>
shall not be remembered
<02142> (8735)_,
nor come
<05927> (8799)
into mind
<03820>_.
{come...: Heb. come upon the heart}
But be ye glad
<07797> (8798)
and rejoice
<01523> (8798)
for ever
<05703>
[in that] which I create
<01254> (8802)_:
for, behold, I create
<01254> (8802)
Jerusalem
<03389>
a rejoicing
<01525>_,
and her people
<05971>
a joy
<04885>_.
And I will rejoice
<01523> (8804)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and joy
<07797> (8804)
in my people
<05971>_:
and the voice
<06963>
of weeping
<01065>
shall be no more heard
<08085> (8735)
in her, nor the voice
<06963>
of crying
<02201>_.
There shall be no more thence an infant
<05764>
of days
<03117>_,
nor an old man
<02205>
that hath not filled
<04390> (8762)
his days
<03117>_:
for the child
<05288>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
an hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_;
but the sinner
<02398> (8802)
[being] an hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
shall be accursed
<07043> (8792)_.
And they shall build
<01129> (8804)
houses
<01004>_,
and inhabit
<03427> (8804)
[them]; and they shall plant
<05193> (8804)
vineyards
<03754>_,
and eat
<0398> (8804)
the fruit
<06529>
of them.
They shall not build
<01129> (8799)_,
and another
<0312>
inhabit
<03427> (8799)_;
they shall not plant
<05193> (8799)_,
and another
<0312>
eat
<0398> (8799)_:
for as the days
<03117>
of a tree
<06086>
[are] the days
<03117>
of my people
<05971>_,
and mine elect
<0972>
shall long enjoy
<01086> (8762)
the work
<04639>
of their hands
<03027>_.
{shall long...: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out}
They shall not labour
<03021> (8799)
in vain
<07385>_,
nor bring forth
<03205> (8799)
for trouble
<0928>_;
for they [are] the seed
<02233>
of the blessed
<01288> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and their offspring
<06631>
with them.
And it shall come to pass, that before they call
<07121> (8799)_,
I will answer
<06030> (8799)_;
and while they are yet speaking
<01696> (8764)_,
I will hear
<08085> (8799)_.
The wolf
<02061>
and the lamb
<02924>
shall feed
<07462> (8799)
together
<0259>_,
and the lion
<0738>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)
straw
<08401>
like the bullock
<01241>_:
and dust
<06083>
[shall be] the serpent's
<05175>
meat
<03899>_.
They shall not hurt
<07489> (8686)
nor destroy
<07843> (8686)
in all my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
The heaven
<08064>
[is] my throne
<03678>_,
and the earth
<0776>
[is] my footstool
<07272> <01916>_:
where [is] the house
<01004>
that ye build
<01129> (8799)
unto me? and where [is] the place
<04725>
of my rest
<04496>_?
For all those [things] hath mine hand
<03027>
made
<06213> (8804)_,
and all those [things] have been, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
but to this [man] will I look
<05027> (8686)_,
[even] to [him that is] poor
<06041>
and of a contrite
<05223>
spirit
<07307>_,
and trembleth
<02730>
at my word
<01697>_.
He that killeth
<07819> (8802)
an ox
<07794>
[is as if] he slew
<05221> (8688)
a man
<0376>_;
he that sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)
a lamb
<07716>_,
[as if] he cut off
<06202> (0)
a dog's
<03611>
neck
<06202> (8802)_;
he that offereth
<05927> (8688)
an oblation
<04503>_,
[as if he offered] swine's
<02386>
blood
<01818>_;
he that burneth
<02142> (8688)
incense
<03828>_,
[as if] he blessed
<01288> (8764)
an idol
<0205>_.
Yea, they have chosen
<0977> (8804)
their own ways
<01870>_,
and their soul
<05315>
delighteth
<02654> (8804)
in their abominations
<08251>_.
{lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}
I also will choose
<0977> (8799)
their delusions
<08586>_,
and will bring
<0935> (8686)
their fears
<04035>
upon them; because when I called
<07121> (8804)_,
none did answer
<06030> (8802)_;
when I spake
<01696> (8765)_,
they did not hear
<08085> (8804)_:
but they did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
before mine eyes
<05869>_,
and chose
<0977> (8804)
[that] in which I delighted
<02654> (8804)
not. {delusions: or, devices}
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
ye that tremble
<02730>
at his word
<01697>_;
Your brethren
<0251>
that hated
<08130> (8802)
you, that cast you out
<05077> (8764)
for my name's
<08034>
sake, said
<0559> (8804)_,
Let the LORD
<03068>
be glorified
<03513> (8799)_:
but he shall appear
<07200> (8737)
to your joy
<08057>_,
and they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.
A voice
<06963>
of noise
<07588>
from the city
<05892>_,
a voice
<06963>
from the temple
<01964>_,
a voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
that rendereth
<07999> (8764)
recompence
<01576>
to his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
Before she travailed
<02342> (8799)_,
she brought forth
<03205> (8804)_;
before her pain
<02256>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
she was delivered
<04422> (8689)
of a man child
<02145>_.
Who hath heard
<08085> (8804)
such a thing? who hath seen
<07200> (8804)
such things? Shall the earth
<0776>
be made to bring forth
<02342> (8714)
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_?
[or] shall a nation
<01471>
be born
<03205> (8735)
at once
<06471>_?
for as soon as
<01571>
Zion
<06726>
travailed
<02342> (8804)_,
she brought forth
<03205> (8804)
her children
<01121>_.
Shall I bring to the birth
<07665> (8686)_,
and not cause to bring forth
<03205> (8686)_?
saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_:
shall I
<0589>
cause to bring forth
<03205> (8688)_,
and shut
<06113> (8804)
[the womb]? saith
<0559> (8804)
thy God
<0430>_.
{not...: or, not beget?}
Rejoice
<08055> (8798)
ye with Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and be glad
<01523> (8798)
with her, all ye that love
<0157> (8802)
her: rejoice
<07797> (8798)
for joy
<04885>
with her, all ye that mourn
<056> (8693)
for her:
That ye may suck
<03243> (8799)_,
and be satisfied
<07646> (8804)
with the breasts
<07699>
of her consolations
<08575>_;
that ye may milk out
<04711> (8799)_,
and be delighted
<06026> (8694)
with the abundance
<02123>
of her glory
<03519>_.
{abundance: or, brightness}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, I will extend
<05186> (8802)
peace
<07965>
to her like a river
<05104>_,
and the glory
<03519>
of the Gentiles
<01471>
like a flowing
<07857> (8802)
stream
<05158>_:
then shall ye suck
<03243> (8804)_,
ye shall be borne
<05375> (8735)
upon [her] sides
<06654>_,
and be dandled
<08173> (8746)
upon [her] knees
<01290>_.
As one
<0376>
whom his mother
<0517>
comforteth
<05162> (8762)_,
so will I comfort
<05162> (8762)
you; and ye shall be comforted
<05162> (8792)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And when ye see
<07200> (8804)
[this], your heart
<03820>
shall rejoice
<07797> (8804)_,
and your bones
<06106>
shall flourish
<06524> (8799)
like an herb
<01877>_:
and the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be known
<03045> (8738)
toward his servants
<05650>_,
and [his] indignation
<02194> (8804)
toward his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
For, behold, the LORD
<03068>
will come
<0935> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_,
and with his chariots
<04818>
like a whirlwind
<05492>_,
to render
<07725> (8687)
his anger
<0639>
with fury
<02534>_,
and his rebuke
<01606>
with flames
<03851>
of fire
<0784>_.
For by fire
<0784>
and by his sword
<02719>
will the LORD
<03068>
plead
<08199> (8737)
with all flesh
<01320>_:
and the slain
<02491>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be many
<07231> (8804)_.
They that sanctify
<06942> (8693)
themselves, and purify
<02891> (8693)
themselves in the gardens
<01593>
behind
<0310>
one
<0259>
[tree] in the midst
<08432>_,
eating
<0398> (8802)
swine's
<02386>
flesh
<01320>_,
and the abomination
<08263>_,
and the mouse
<05909>_,
shall be consumed
<05486> (8799)
together
<03162>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{behind...: or, one after another}
For I [know] their works
<04639>
and their thoughts
<04284>_:
it shall come
<0935> (8802)_,
that I will gather
<06908> (8763)
all nations
<01471>
and tongues
<03956>_;
and they shall come
<0935> (8804)_,
and see
<07200> (8804)
my glory
<03519>_.
And I will set
<07760> (8804)
a sign
<0226>
among them, and I will send
<07971> (8765)
those that escape
<06412>
of them unto the nations
<01471>_,
[to] Tarshish
<08659>_,
Pul
<06322>_,
and Lud
<03865>_,
that draw
<04900> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_,
[to] Tubal
<08422>_,
and Javan
<03120>_,
[to] the isles
<0339>
afar off
<07350>_,
that have not heard
<08085> (8804)
my fame
<08088>_,
neither have seen
<07200> (8804)
my glory
<03519>_;
and they shall declare
<05046> (8689)
my glory
<03519>
among the Gentiles
<01471>_.
And they shall bring
<0935> (8689)
all your brethren
<0251>
[for] an offering
<04503>
unto the LORD
<03068>
out of all nations
<01471>
upon horses
<05483>_,
and in chariots
<07393>_,
and in litters
<06632>_,
and upon mules
<06505>_,
and upon swift beasts
<03753>_,
to my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
as the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
bring
<0935> (8686)
an offering
<04503>
in a clean
<02889>
vessel
<03627>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{litters: or, coaches}
And I will also take
<03947> (8799)
of them for priests
<03548>
[and] for Levites
<03881>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
For as the new
<02319>
heavens
<08064>
and the new
<02319>
earth
<0776>_,
which I will make
<06213> (8802)_,
shall remain
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
so shall your seed
<02233>
and your name
<08034>
remain
<05975> (8799)_.
And it shall come to pass, [that] from
<01767>
one new moon
<02320>
to another
<02320>_,
and from
<01767>
one sabbath
<07676>
to another
<07676>_,
shall all flesh
<01320>
come
<0935> (8799)
to worship
<07812> (8692)
before
<06440>
me, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{from one new...: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath}
And they shall go forth
<03318> (8804)_,
and look
<07200> (8804)
upon the carcases
<06297>
of the men
<0582>
that have transgressed
<06586> (8802)
against me: for their worm
<08438>
shall not die
<04191> (8799)_,
neither shall their fire
<0784>
be quenched
<03518> (8799)_;
and they shall be an abhorring
<01860>
unto all flesh
<01320>_.
