Isaiah 31:1--32:20

31:1

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>_!

31:2

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}

31:3

Now the Egyptians
<04714>

[are] men
<0120>_,

and not God
<0410>_;

and their horses
<05483>

flesh
<01320>_,

and not spirit
<07307>_.

When the LORD
<03068>

shall stretch out
<05186> (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>_.

31:4

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}

31:5

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.

31:6

Turn
<07725> (8798)

ye unto [him from] whom the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

have deeply
<06009> (8689)

revolted
<05627>_.

31:7

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}

31:8

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}

31:9

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}

32:1

Behold, a king
<04428>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

in righteousness
<06664>_,

and princes
<08269>

shall rule
<08323> (8799)

in judgment
<04941>_.

32:2

And a man
<0376>

shall be as an hiding place
<04224>

from the wind
<07307>_,

and a covert
<05643>

from the tempest
<02230>_;

as 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}

32:3

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)_.

32:4

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}

32:5

The vile person
<05036>

shall be no more called
<07121> (8735)

liberal
<05081>_,

nor the churl
<03596>

said
<0559> (8735)

[to be] bountiful
<07771>_.

32:6

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)_.

32:7

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}

32:8

But the liberal
<05081>

deviseth
<03289> (8804)

liberal things
<05081>_;

and by liberal things
<05081>

shall he stand
<06965> (8799)_.

{stand: or, be established}

32:9

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>_.

32:10

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}

32:11

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>_.

32:12

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}

32:13

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}

32:14

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}

32:15

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>_.

32:16

Then judgment
<04941>

shall dwell
<07931> (8804)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and righteousness
<06666>

remain
<03427> (8799)

in the fruitful field
<03759>_.

32:17

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>_.

32:18

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>_;

32:19

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}

32:20

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>_.
