Isaiah 56:9--59:15

56:9

All ye beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>_,

come
<0857> (8798)

to devour
<0398> (8800)_,

[yea], all ye beasts
<02416>

in the forest
<03293>_.

56:10

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}

56:11

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}

56:12

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>_.

57:1

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}

57:2

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}

57:3

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)_.

57:4

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>_,

57:5

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}

57:6

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?

57:7

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>_.

57:8

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}

57:9

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}

57:10

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}

57:11

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?

57:12

I will declare
<05046> (8686)

thy righteousness
<06666>_,

and thy works
<04639>_;

for they shall not profit
<03276> (8686)

thee.

57:13

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>_;

57:14

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>_.

57:15

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)_.

57:16

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)_.

57:17

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}

57:18

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>_.

57:19

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.

57:20

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>_.

57:21

[There is] no peace
<07965>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

my God
<0430>_,

to the wicked
<07563>_.

58:1

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}

58:2

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>_.

58:3

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}

58:4

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}

58:5

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?}

58:6

[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}

58:7

[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}

58:8

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}

58:9

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>_;

58:10

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>_:

58:11

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}

58:12

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)_.

58:13

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>_:

58:14

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].

59:1

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)_:

59:2

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}

59:3

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>_.

59:4

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>_.

59:5

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}

59:6

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>_.

59:7

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}

59:8

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}

59:9

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>_.

59:10

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].

59:11

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.

59:12

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;

59:13

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>_.

59:14

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)_.

59:15

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}
