Isaiah 63:7--66:17

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}
