Isaiah 58:1--66:24

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}

59:16

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.

59:17

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>_.

59:18

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}

59:19

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}

59:20

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>_.

59:21

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>_.

60:1

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}

60:2

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.

60:3

And the Gentiles
<01471>

shall come
<01980> (8804)

to thy light
<0216>_,

and kings
<04428>

to the brightness
<05051>

of thy rising
<02225>_.

60:4

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>_.

60:5

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}

60:6

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>_.

60:7

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>_.

60:8

Who [are] these [that] fly
<05774> (8799)

as a cloud
<05645>_,

and as the doves
<03123>

to their windows
<0699>_?

60:9

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.

60:10

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.

60:11

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}

60:12

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)_.

60:13

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)_.

60:14

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>_.

60:15

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>_.

60:16

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>_.

60:17

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>_.

60:18

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>_.

60:19

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>_.

60:20

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)_.

60:21

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)_.

60:22

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>_.

61:1

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)_;

61:2

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>_;

61:3

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)_.

61:4

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>_.

61:5

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>_.

61:6

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.

61:7

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.

61:8

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.

61:9

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)_.

61:10

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}

61:11

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>_.

62:1

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)_.

62:2

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>_.

62:3

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>_.

62:4

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}

62:5

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}

62:6

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}

62:7

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}

62:8

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}

62:9

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>_.

62:10

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>_.

62:11

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}

62:12

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)_.

63:1

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}

63:2

Wherefore [art thou] red
<0122>

in thine apparel
<03830>_,

and thy garments
<0899>

like him that treadeth
<01869> (8802)

in the winefat
<01660>_?

63:3

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>_.

63:4

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)_.

63:5

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.

63:6

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>_.

63:7

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>_.

63:8

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)_.

63:9

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>_.

63:10

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.

63:11

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}

63:12

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>_?

63:13

That led
<03212> (8688)

them through the deep
<08415>_,

as an horse
<05483>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

[that] they should not stumble
<03782> (8735)_?

63:14

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>_.

63:15

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}

63:16

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}

63:17

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>_.

63:18

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>_.

63:19

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}

64:1

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>_,

64:2

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}

64:3

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>_.

64:4

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}

64:5

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)_.

64:6

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)_.

64:7

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}

64:8

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>_.

64:9

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>_.

64:10

Thy holy
<06944>

cities
<05892>

are a wilderness
<04057>_,

Zion
<06726>

is a wilderness
<04057>_,

Jerusalem
<03389>

a desolation
<08077>_.

64:11

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>_.

64:12

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>_?

65:1

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>_.

65:2

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>_;

65:3

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}

65:4

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}

65:5

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}

65:6

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>_,

65:7

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>_.

65:8

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.

65:9

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.

65:10

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.

65:11

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}

65:12

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.

65:13

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)_:

65:14

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}

65:15

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>_:

65:16

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>_.

65:17

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}

65:18

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>_.

65:19

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>_.

65:20

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)_.

65:21

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.

65:22

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}

65:23

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.

65:24

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)_.

65:25

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>_.

66:1

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>_?

66:2

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>_.

66:3

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}

66:4

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}

66:5

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)_.

66:6

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)_.

66:7

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>_.

66:8

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>_.

66:9

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?}

66:10

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:

66:11

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}

66:12

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>_.

66:13

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>_.

66:14

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)_.

66:15

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>_.

66:16

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)_.

66:17

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}

66:18

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>_.

66:19

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>_.

66:20

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}

66:21

And I will also take
<03947> (8799)

of them for priests
<03548>

[and] for Levites
<03881>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

66:22

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)_.

66:23

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}

66:24

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>_.
