The Book of ISAIAH

 ISAIAH 1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw

concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham,

Ahaz, {and} Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

ISAIAH 1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord

hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they

have rebelled against me.

ISAIAH 1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's

crib: {but} Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

ISAIAH 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed

of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken

the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger,

they are gone away backward.

ISAIAH 1:5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt

more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

ISAIAH 1:6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head {there

is} no soundness in it; {but} wounds, and bruises, and putrifying

sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither

mollified with ointment.

ISAIAH 1:7 Your country {is} desolate, your cities {are} burned

with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and

{it is} desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

ISAIAH 1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a

vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged

city.

ISAIAH 1:9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small

remnant, we should have been as Sodom, {and} we should have been

like unto Gomorrah.

ISAIAH 1:10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give

ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

ISAIAH 1:11 To what purpose {is} the multitude of your sacrifices

unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of

rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood

of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

ISAIAH 1:12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required

this at your hand, to tread my courts?

ISAIAH 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an

abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of

assemblies, I cannot away with; {it is} iniquity, even the solemn

meeting.

ISAIAH 1:14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul

hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear {them}.

ISAIAH 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine

eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear:

your hands are full of blood.

ISAIAH 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your

doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

ISAIAH 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the

oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

ISAIAH 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:

though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

ISAIAH 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good

of the land:

ISAIAH 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with

the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken {it}.

ISAIAH 1:21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was

full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

ISAIAH 1:22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with

water:

ISAIAH 1:23 Thy princes {are} rebellious, and companions of

thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards:

they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the

widow come unto them.

ISAIAH 1:24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the

mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and

avenge me of mine enemies:

ISAIAH 1:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge

away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

ISAIAH 1:26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and

thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be

called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

ISAIAH 1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her

converts with righteousness.

ISAIAH 1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the

sinners {shall be} together, and they that forsake the Lord shall

be consumed.

ISAIAH 1:29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have

desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have

chosen.

ISAIAH 1:30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a

garden that hath no water.

ISAIAH 1:31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it

as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall

quench {them}.

ISAIAH 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning

Judah and Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, {that} the

mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of

the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all

nations shall flow unto it.

ISAIAH 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us

go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of

Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his

paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of

the Lord from Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke

many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,

and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up

sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

ISAIAH 2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the

light of the Lord.

ISAIAH 2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of

Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and {are}

soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in

the children of strangers.

ISAIAH 2:7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither

{is there any} end of their treasures; their land is also full of

horses, neither {is there any} end of their chariots:

ISAIAH 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the

work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

ISAIAH 2:9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man

humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

ISAIAH 2:10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for

fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.

ISAIAH 2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the

haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall

be exalted in that day.

ISAIAH 2:12 For the day of the Lord of hosts {shall be} upon

every {one that is} proud and lofty, and upon every {one that is}

lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

ISAIAH 2:13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, {that are} high

and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

ISAIAH 2:14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the

hills {that are} lifted up,

ISAIAH 2:15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced

wall,

ISAIAH 2:16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all

pleasant pictures.

ISAIAH 2:17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the

haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be

exalted in that day.

ISAIAH 2:18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

ISAIAH 2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and

into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the

glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the

earth.

ISAIAH 2:20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and

his idols of gold, which they made {each one} for himself to

worship, to the moles and to the bats;

ISAIAH 2:21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops

of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of

his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

ISAIAH 2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath {is} in his nostrils:

for wherein is he to be accounted of?

ISAIAH 3:1 For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take

away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the

whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

ISAIAH 3:2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the

prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

ISAIAH 3:3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the

counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

ISAIAH 3:4 And I will give children {to be} their princes, and

babes shall rule over them.

ISAIAH 3:5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by

another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave

himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the

honourable.

ISAIAH 3:6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house

of his father, {saying}, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler,

and {let} this ruin {be} under thy hand:

ISAIAH 3:7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an

healer; for in my house {is} neither bread nor clothing: make me

not a ruler of the people.

ISAIAH 3:8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because

their tongue and their doings {are} against the Lord, to provoke

the eyes of his glory.

ISAIAH 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against

them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide {it} not.

Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

ISAIAH 3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that {it shall be} well

{with him}: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

ISAIAH 3:11 Woe unto the wicked! {it shall be} ill {with him}:

for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

ISAIAH 3:12 {As for} my people, children {are} their oppressors,

and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause

{thee} to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

ISAIAH 3:13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge

the people.

ISAIAH 3:14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients

of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the

vineyard; the spoil of the poor {is} in your houses.

ISAIAH 3:15 What mean ye {that} ye beat my people to pieces, and

grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.

ISAIAH 3:16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of

Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton

eyes, walking and mincing {as} they go, and making a tinkling

with their feet:

ISAIAH 3:17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown

of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover

their secret parts.

ISAIAH 3:18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of

{their} tinkling ornaments {about their feet}, and {their} cauls,

and {their} round tires like the moon,

ISAIAH 3:19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

ISAIAH 3:20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the

headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

ISAIAH 3:21 The rings, and nose jewels,

ISAIAH 3:22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and

the wimples, and the crisping pins,

ISAIAH 3:23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and

the vails.

ISAIAH 3:24 And it shall come to pass, {that} instead of sweet

smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and

instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a

girding of sackcloth; {and} burning instead of beauty.

ISAIAH 3:25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in

the war.

ISAIAH 3:26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she {being}

desolate shall sit upon the ground.

ISAIAH 4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one

man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel:

only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

ISAIAH 4:2 In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful

and glorious, and the fruit of the earth {shall be} excellent and

comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

ISAIAH 4:3 And it shall come to pass, {that he that is} left in

Zion, and {he that} remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy,

{even} every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

ISAIAH 4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the

daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem

from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the

spirit of burning.

ISAIAH 4:5 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of

mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day,

and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the

glory {shall be} a defence.

ISAIAH 4:6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the

daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a

covert from storm and from rain.

ISAIAH 5:1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved

touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very

fruitful hill:

ISAIAH 5:2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof,

and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the

midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked

that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild

grapes.

ISAIAH 5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah,

judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

ISAIAH 5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I

have not done in it?  wherefore, when I looked that it should

bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

ISAIAH 5:5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my

vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be

eaten up; {and} break down the wall thereof, and it shall be

trodden down:

ISAIAH 5:6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor

digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also

command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

ISAIAH 5:7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts {is} the house

of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked

for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but

behold a cry.

ISAIAH 5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house, {that} lay

field to field, till {there be} no place, that they may be placed

alone in the midst of the earth!

ISAIAH 5:9 In mine ears {said} the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many

houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without

inhabitant.

ISAIAH 5:10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and

the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

ISAIAH 5:11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning,

{that} they may follow strong drink; that continue until night,

{till} wine inflame them!

ISAIAH 5:12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and

wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the

Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.

ISAIAH 5:13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because

{they have} no knowledge: and their honourable men {are}

famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

ISAIAH 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her

mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and

their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

ISAIAH 5:15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the

mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be

humbled:

ISAIAH 5:16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment,

and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

ISAIAH 5:17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the

waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

ISAIAH 5:18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of

vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

ISAIAH 5:19 That say, Let him make speed, {and} hasten his work,

that we may see {it}: and let the counsel of the Holy One of

Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know {it}!

ISAIAH 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;

that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put

bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

ISAIAH 5:21 Woe unto {them that are} wise in their own eyes, and

prudent in their own sight!

ISAIAH 5:22 Woe unto {them that are} mighty to drink wine, and

men of strength to mingle strong drink:

ISAIAH 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away

the righteousness of the righteous from him!

ISAIAH 5:24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the

flame consumeth the chaff, {so} their root shall be as

rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they

have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the

word of the Holy One of Israel.

ISAIAH 5:25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against

his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them,

and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their

carcases {were} torn in the midst of the streets. For all this

his anger is not turned away, but his hand {is} stretched out

still.

ISAIAH 5:26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from

far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and,

behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

ISAIAH 5:27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none

shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins

be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

ISAIAH 5:28 Whose arrows {are} sharp, and all their bows bent,

their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels

like a whirlwind:

ISAIAH 5:29 Their roaring {shall be} like a lion, they shall roar

like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey,

and shall carry {it} away safe, and none shall deliver {it}.

ISAIAH 5:30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the

roaring of the sea: and if {one} look unto the land, behold

darkness {and} sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens

thereof.

ISAIAH 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord

sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled

the temple.

ISAIAH 6:2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings;

with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his

feet, and with twain he did fly.

ISAIAH 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy,

holy, {is} the Lord of hosts: the whole earth {is} full of his

glory.

ISAIAH 6:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him

that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

ISAIAH 6:5 Then said I, Woe {is} me! for I am undone; because I

{am} a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people

of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of

hosts.

ISAIAH 6:6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live

coal in his hand, {which} he had taken with the tongs from off

the altar:

ISAIAH 6:7 And he laid {it} upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this

hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy

sin purged.

ISAIAH 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall

I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here {am} I; send

me.

ISAIAH 6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed,

but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

ISAIAH 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their

ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes,

and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and

convert, and be healed.

ISAIAH 6:11 Then said I, Lord, how long? and he answered, Until

the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without

man, and the land be utterly desolate,

ISAIAH 6:12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and {there

be} a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

ISAIAH 6:13 But yet in it {shall be} a tenth, and {it} shall

return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose

substance {is} in them, when they cast {their leaves: so} the

holy seed {shall be} the substance thereof.

ISAIAH 7:1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of

Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, {that} Rezin the king

of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up

toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against

it.

ISAIAH 7:2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is

confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart

of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.

ISAIAH 7:3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet

Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of

the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;

ISAIAH 7:4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not,

neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking

firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the

son of Remaliah.

ISAIAH 7:5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have

taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

ISAIAH 7:6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us

make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it,

{even} the son of Tabeal:

ISAIAH 7:7 Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither

shall It come to pass.

ISAIAH 7:8 For the head of Syria {is} Damascus, and the head of

Damascus {is} Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall

Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.

ISAIAH 7:9 And the head of Ephraim {is} Samaria, and the head of

Samaria {is} Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye

shall not be established.

ISAIAH 7:10 Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

ISAIAH 7:11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in

the depth, or in the height above.

ISAIAH 7:12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt

the Lord.

ISAIAH 7:13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; {is it} a

small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?

ISAIAH 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;

Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call

his name Immanuel.

ISAIAH 7:15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to

refuse the evil, and choose the good.

ISAIAH 7:16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil,

and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be

forsaken of both her kings.

ISAIAH 7:17 The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people,

and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the

day that Ephraim departed from Judah; {even} the king of Assyria.

ISAIAH 7:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} the

Lord shall hiss for the fly that {is} in the uttermost part of

the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that {is} in the land of

Assyria.

ISAIAH 7:19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in

the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all

thorns, and upon all bushes.

ISAIAH 7:20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a rasor

that is hired, {namely}, by them beyond the river, by the king of

Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also

consume the beard.

ISAIAH 7:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} a man

shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

ISAIAH 7:22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk

{that} they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey

shall every one eat that is left in the land.

ISAIAH 7:23 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} every

place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand

silverlings, it shall {even} be for briers and thorns.

ISAIAH 7:24 With arrows and with bows shall {men} come thither;

because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

ISAIAH 7:25 And {on} all hills that shall be digged with the

mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and

thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for

the treading of lesser cattle.

ISAIAH 8:1 Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great

roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning

Mahershalalhashbaz.

ISAIAH 8:2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah

the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

ISAIAH 8:3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and

bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name

Mahershalalhashbaz.

ISAIAH 8:4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My

father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of

Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

ISAIAH 8:5 The Lord spake also unto me again, saying,

ISAIAH 8:6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of

Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;

ISAIAH 8:7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them

the waters of the river, strong and many, {even} the king of

Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his

channels, and go over all his banks:

ISAIAH 8:8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and

go over, he shall reach {even} to the neck; and the stretching

out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

ISAIAH 8:9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be

broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird

yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves,

and ye shall be broken in pieces.

ISAIAH 8:10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought;

speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God {is} with us.

ISAIAH 8:11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and

instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people,

saying,

ISAIAH 8:12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all {them to} whom this

people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor

be afraid.

ISAIAH 8:13 Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and {let} him

{be} your fear, and {let} him {be} your dread.

ISAIAH 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of

stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel,

for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 8:15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be

broken, and be snared, and be taken.

ISAIAH 8:16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my

disciples.

ISAIAH 8:17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face

from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

ISAIAH 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given

me {are} for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of

hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.

ISAIAH 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that

have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that

mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living

to the dead?

ISAIAH 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not

according to this word, {it is} because {there is} no light in

them.

ISAIAH 8:21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and

hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be

hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and

their God, and look upward.

ISAIAH 8:22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold

trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and {they shall be}

driven to darkness.

ISAIAH 9:1 Nevertheless the dimness {shall} not {be} such as

{was} in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the

land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more

grievously afflict her {by the} way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in

Galilee of the nations.

ISAIAH 9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great

light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon

them hath the light shined.

ISAIAH 9:3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, {and} not increased

the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest,

{and} as {men} rejoice when they divide the spoil.

ISAIAH 9:4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the

staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of

Midian.

ISAIAH 9:5 For every battle of the warrior {is} with confused

noise, and garments rolled in blood; but {this} shall be with

burning {and} fuel of fire.

ISAIAH 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall

be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, the everlasting

Father, The Prince of Peace.

ISAIAH 9:7 Of the increase of {his} government and peace {there

shall be} no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,

to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice

from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will

perform this.

ISAIAH 9:8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted

upon Israel.

ISAIAH 9:9 And all the people shall know, {even} Ephraim and the

inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of

heart,

ISAIAH 9:10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with

hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change {them

into} cedars.

ISAIAH 9:11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of

Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;

ISAIAH 9:12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and

they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger

is not turned away, but his hand {is} stretched out still.

ISAIAH 9:13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth

them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.

ISAIAH 9:14 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and

tail, branch and rush, in one day.

ISAIAH 9:15 The ancient and honourable, he {is} the head; and the

prophet that teacheth lies, he {is} the tail.

ISAIAH 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause {them} to err;

and {they that are} led of them {are} destroyed.

ISAIAH 9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young

men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for

every one {is} an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth

speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but

his hand {is} stretched out still.

ISAIAH 9:18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour

the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the

forest, and they shall mount up {like} the lifting up of smoke.

ISAIAH 9:19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land

darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man

shall spare his brother.

ISAIAH 9:20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry;

and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be

satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

ISAIAH 9:21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: {and} they

together {shall be} against Judah. For all this his anger is not

turned away, but his hand {is} stretched out still.

ISAIAH 10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and

that write grievousness {which} they have prescribed;

ISAIAH 10:2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take

away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be

their prey, and {that} they may rob the fatherless!

ISAIAH 10:3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in

the desolation {which} shall come from far? to whom will ye flee

for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

ISAIAH 10:4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners,

and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is

not turned away, but his hand {is} stretched out still.

ISAIAH 10:5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in

their hand is mine indignation.

ISAIAH 10:6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and

against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take

the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the

mire of the streets.

ISAIAH 10:7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart

think so; but {it is} in his heart to destroy and cut off nations

not a few.

ISAIAH 10:8 For he saith, {Are} not my princes altogether kings?

ISAIAH 10:9 {Is} not Calno as Carchemish? {is} not Hamath as

Arpad? {is} not Samaria as Damascus?

ISAIAH 10:10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and

whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

ISAIAH 10:11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her

idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

ISAIAH 10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, {that} when the

Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on

Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king

of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

ISAIAH 10:13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done

{it}, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the

bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have

put down the inhabitants like a valiant {man}:

ISAIAH 10:14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the

people: and as one gathereth eggs {that are} left, have I

gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing,

or opened the mouth, or peeped.

ISAIAH 10:15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth

therewith? {or} shall the saw magnify itself against him that

shaketh it? as if the rod should shake {itself} against them that

lift it up, {or} as if the staff should lift up {itself, as if it

were} no wood.

ISAIAH 10:16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send

among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle

a burning like the burning of a fire.

ISAIAH 10:17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his

Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and

his briers in one day;

ISAIAH 10:18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of

his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when

a standardbearer fainteth.

ISAIAH 10:19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be

few, that a child may write them.

ISAIAH 10:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} the

remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob,

shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay

upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

ISAIAH 10:21 The remnant shall return, {even} the remnant of

Jacob, unto the mighty God.

ISAIAH 10:22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the

sea, {yet} a remnant of them shall return: the consumption

decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

ISAIAH 10:23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption,

even determined, in the midst of all the land.

ISAIAH 10:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my

people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he

shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against

thee, after the manner of Egypt.

ISAIAH 10:25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation

shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

ISAIAH 10:26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for

him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and

{as} his rod {was} upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the

manner of Egypt.

ISAIAH 10:27 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} his

burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke

from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the

anointing.

ISAIAH 10:28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at

Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:

ISAIAH 10:29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up

their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

ISAIAH 10:30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to

be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

ISAIAH 10:31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather

themselves to flee.

ISAIAH 10:32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall

shake his hand {against} the mount of the daughter of Zion, the

hill of Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 10:33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop the

bough with terror: and the high ones of stature {shall be} hewn

down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

ISAIAH 10:34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest

with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

ISAIAH 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of

Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

ISAIAH 11:2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the

spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and

might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;

ISAIAH 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear

of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,

neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

ISAIAH 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and

reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite

the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his

lips shall he slay the wicked.

ISAIAH 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins,

and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

ISAIAH 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the

leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young

lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead

them.

ISAIAH 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones

shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the

ox.

ISAIAH 11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the

asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice'

den.

ISAIAH 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy

mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the

Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

ISAIAH 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,

which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the

Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

ISAIAH 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} the

Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the

remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and

from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and

from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

ISAIAH 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and

shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the

dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

ISAIAH 11:13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the

adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy

Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

ISAIAH 11:14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the

Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east

together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the

children of Ammon shall obey them.

ISAIAH 11:15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the

Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand

over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make

{men} go over dryshod.

ISAIAH 11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his

people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to

Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

ISAIAH 12:1 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise

thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away,

and thou comfortedst me.

ISAIAH 12:2 Behold, God {is} my salvation; I will trust, and not

be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah {is} my strength and {my} song;

he also is become my salvation.

ISAIAH 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the

wells of salvation.

ISAIAH 12:4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord, call

upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention

that his name is exalted.

ISAIAH 12:5 Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent

things: this {is} known in all the earth.

ISAIAH 12:6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great

{is} the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

ISAIAH 13:1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz

did see.

ISAIAH 13:2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the

voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates

of the nobles.

ISAIAH 13:3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also

called my mighty ones for mine anger, {even} them that rejoice in

my highness.

ISAIAH 13:4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of

a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations

gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the

battle.

ISAIAH 13:5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven,

{even} the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy

the whole land.

ISAIAH 13:6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord {is} at hand; it

shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

ISAIAH 13:7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's

heart shall melt:

ISAIAH 13:8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall

take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that

travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces

{shall be as} flames.

ISAIAH 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with

wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall

destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

ISAIAH 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations

thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in

his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

ISAIAH 13:11 And I will punish the world for {their} evil, and

the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of

the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the

terrible.

ISAIAH 13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even

a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

ISAIAH 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth

shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts,

and in the day of his fierce anger.

ISAIAH 13:14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep

that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own

people, and flee every one into his own land.

ISAIAH 13:15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and

every one that is joined {unto them} shall fall by the sword.

ISAIAH 13:16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before

their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives

ravished.

ISAIAH 13:17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which

shall not regard silver; and {as for} gold, they shall not

delight in it.

ISAIAH 13:18 {Their} bows also shall dash the young men to

pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb;

their eye shall not spare children.

ISAIAH 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of

the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom

and Gomorrah.

ISAIAH 13:20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be

dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian

pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold

there.

ISAIAH 13:21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and

their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall

dwell there, and Satyrs shall dance there.

ISAIAH 13:22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in

their desolate houses, and dragons in {their} pleasant palaces:

and her time {is} near to come, and her days shall not be

prolonged.

ISAIAH 14:1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet

choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers

shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of

Jacob.

ISAIAH 14:2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to

their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the

land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take

them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over

their oppressors.

ISAIAH 14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord

shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from

the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

ISAIAH 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king

of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden

city ceased!

ISAIAH 14:5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, {and}

the sceptre of the rulers.

ISAIAH 14:6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual

stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, {and}

none hindereth.

ISAIAH 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, {and} is quiet: they

break forth into singing.

ISAIAH 14:8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, {and} the cedars

of Lebanon, {saying}, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come

up against us.

ISAIAH 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet {thee} at

thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, {even} all the

chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all

the kings of the nations.

ISAIAH 14:10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou

also become weak as we?  art thou become like unto us?

ISAIAH 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, {and} the

noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms

cover thee.

ISAIAH 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of

the morning! {how} art thou cut down to the ground, which didst

weaken the nations!

ISAIAH 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend

into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I

will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of

the north:

ISAIAH 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I

will be like the most High.

ISAIAH 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides

of the pit.

ISAIAH 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,

{and} consider thee, {saying, Is} this the man that made the

earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

ISAIAH 14:17 {That} made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed

the cities thereof; {that} opened not the house of his prisoners?

ISAIAH 14:18 All the kings of the nations, {even} all of them,

lie in glory, every one in his own house.

ISAIAH 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an

abominable branch, {and as} the raiment of those that are slain,

thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the

pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

ISAIAH 14:20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial,

because thou hast destroyed thy land, {and} slain thy people: the

seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

ISAIAH 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity

of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land,

nor fill the face of the world with cities.

ISAIAH 14:22 For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of

hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son,

and nephew, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 14:23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern,

and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the Besom of

destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.

ISAIAH 14:24 The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I

have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed,

{so} shall it stand:

ISAIAH 14:25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon

my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart

from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

ISAIAH 14:26 This {is} the purpose that is purposed upon the

whole earth: and this {is} the hand that is stretched out upon

all the nations.

ISAIAH 14:27 For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall

disannul {it}? and his hand {is} stretched out, and who shall

turn it back?

ISAIAH 14:28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

ISAIAH 14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod

of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root

shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit {shall be} a fiery

flying serpent.

ISAIAH 14:30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the

needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with

famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.

ISAIAH 14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina,

{art} dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and

none {shall be} alone in his appointed times.

ISAIAH 14:32 What shall {one} then answer the messengers of the

nation? That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his

people shall trust in it.

ISAIAH 15:1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab

is laid waste, {and} brought to silence; because in the night Kir

of Moab is laid waste, {and} brought to silence;

ISAIAH 15:2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high

places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on

all their heads {shall be} baldness, {and} every beard cut off.

ISAIAH 15:3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with

sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets,

every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.

ISAIAH 15:4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall

be heard {even} unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab

shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.

ISAIAH 15:5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives {shall

flee} unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the

mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in

the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.

ISAIAH 15:6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the

hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

ISAIAH 15:7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that

which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of

the willows.

ISAIAH 15:8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab;

the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto

Beerelim.

ISAIAH 15:9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I

will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab,

and upon the remnant of the land.

ISAIAH 16:1 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela

to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

ISAIAH 16:2 For it shall be, {that}, as a wandering bird cast out

of the nest, {so} the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of

Arnon.

ISAIAH 16:3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as

the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray

not him that wandereth.

ISAIAH 16:4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a

covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner

is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed

out of the land.

ISAIAH 16:5 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he

shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging,

and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

ISAIAH 16:6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; {he is} very

proud: {even} of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath:

{but} his lies {shall} not {be} so.

ISAIAH 16:7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall

howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely

{they are} stricken.

ISAIAH 16:8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, {and} the vine of

Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal

plants thereof, they are come {even} unto Jazer, they wandered

{through} the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they

are gone over the sea.

ISAIAH 16:9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the

vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and

Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy

harvest is fallen.

ISAIAH 16:10 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the

plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing,

neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no

wine in {their} presses; I have made {their vintage} shouting to

cease.

ISAIAH 16:11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for

Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.

ISAIAH 16:12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab

is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary

to pray; but he shall not prevail.

ISAIAH 16:13 This {is} the word that the Lord hath spoken

concerning Moab since that time.

ISAIAH 16:14 But now the Lord hath spoken, saying, Within three

years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall

be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant

{shall be} very small {and} feeble.

ISAIAH 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken

away from {being} a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

ISAIAH 17:2 The cities of Aroer {are} forsaken: they shall be for

flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make {them} afraid.

ISAIAH 17:3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the

kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as

the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts.

ISAIAH 17:4 And in that day it shall come to pass, {that} the

glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh

shall wax lean.

ISAIAH 17:5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the

corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he

that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

ISAIAH 17:6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the

shaking of an olive tree, two {or} three berries in the top of

the uppermost bough, four {or} five in the outmost fruitful

branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.

ISAIAH 17:7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his

eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

ISAIAH 17:8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his

hands, neither shall respect {that} which his fingers have made,

either the groves, or the images.

ISAIAH 17:9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken

bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the

children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

ISAIAH 17:10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy

salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength,

therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with

strange slips:

ISAIAH 17:11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in

the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: {but} the

harvest {shall be} a heap in the day of grief and of desperate

sorrow.

ISAIAH 17:12 Woe to the multitude of many people, {which} make a

noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations,

{that} make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

ISAIAH 17:13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many

waters: but {God} shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off,

and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the

wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

ISAIAH 17:14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; {and} before the

morning he {is} not.  This {is} the portion of them that spoil

us, and the lot of them that rob us.

ISAIAH 18:1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which {is}

beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:

ISAIAH 18:2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels

of bulrushes upon the waters, {saying}, Go, ye swift messengers,

to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their

beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose

land the rivers have spoiled!

ISAIAH 18:3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the

earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and

when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

ISAIAH 18:4 For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest,

and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon

herbs, {and} like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

ISAIAH 18:5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and

the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off

the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away {and} cut down the

branches.

ISAIAH 18:6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the

mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall

summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter

upon them.

ISAIAH 18:7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the

Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people

terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and

trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the

place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.

ISAIAH 19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a

swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt

shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt

in the midst of it.

ISAIAH 19:2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians:

and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one

against his neighbour; city against city, {and} kingdom against

kingdom.

ISAIAH 19:3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst

thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall

seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have

familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

ISAIAH 19:4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a

cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the

Lord, the Lord of hosts.

ISAIAH 19:5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river

shall be wasted and dried up.

ISAIAH 19:6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; {and} the

brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and

flags shall wither.

ISAIAH 19:7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the

brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be

driven away, and be no {more}.

ISAIAH 19:8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast

angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets

upon the waters shall languish.

ISAIAH 19:9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that

weave networks, shall be confounded.

ISAIAH 19:10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof,

all that make sluices {and} ponds for fish.

ISAIAH 19:11 Surely the princes of Zoan {are} fools, the counsel

of the wise counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye

unto Pharaoh, I {am} the son of the wise, the son of ancient

kings?

ISAIAH 19:12 Where {are} they? where {are} thy wise {men}? and

let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts

hath purposed upon Egypt.

ISAIAH 19:13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of

Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, {even they that

are} the stay of the tribes thereof.

ISAIAH 19:14 The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst

thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof,

as a drunken {man} staggereth in his vomit.

ISAIAH 19:15 Neither shall there be {any} work for Egypt, which

the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

ISAIAH 19:16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it

shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of

the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

ISAIAH 19:17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt,

every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself,

because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath

determined against it.

ISAIAH 19:18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt

speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one

shall be called, the city of destruction.

ISAIAH 19:19 In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in

the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border

thereof to the Lord.

ISAIAH 19:20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto

the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto

the Lord because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a

saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

ISAIAH 19:21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the

Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice

and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and

perform {it}.

ISAIAH 19:22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and

heal {it}: and they shall return {even} to the Lord, and he shall

be intreated of them, and shall heal them.

ISAIAH 19:23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to

Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian

into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

ISAIAH 19:24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and

with Assyria, {even} a blessing in the midst of the land:

ISAIAH 19:25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed

{be} Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and

Israel mine inheritance.

ISAIAH 20:1 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when

Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod,

and took it;

ISAIAH 20:2 At the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of

Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and

put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and

barefoot.

ISAIAH 20:3 And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath

walked naked and barefoot three {years} for a sign and wonder

upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

ISAIAH 20:4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians

prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and

barefoot, even with {their} buttocks uncovered, to the shame of

Egypt.

ISAIAH 20:5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia

their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

ISAIAH 20:6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that

day, Behold, such {is} our expectation, whither we flee for help

to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we

escape?

ISAIAH 21:1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in

the south pass through; {so} it cometh from the desert, from a

terrible land.

ISAIAH 21:2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the

treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler

spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing

thereof have I made to cease.

ISAIAH 21:3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have

taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I

was bowed down at the hearing {of it}; I was dismayed at the

seeing {of it}.

ISAIAH 21:4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night

of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

ISAIAH 21:5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat,

drink: arise, ye princes, {and} anoint the shield.

ISAIAH 21:6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a

watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

ISAIAH 21:7 And he saw a chariot {with} a couple of horsemen, a

chariot of asses, {and} a chariot of camels; and he hearkened

diligently with much heed:

ISAIAH 21:8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually

upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole

nights:

ISAIAH 21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, {with} a

couple of horsemen.  And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen,

is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken

unto the ground.

ISAIAH 21:10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which

I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I

declared unto you.

ISAIAH 21:11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir,

Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

ISAIAH 21:12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the

night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: return, come.

ISAIAH 21:13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia

shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

ISAIAH 21:14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to

him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that

fled.

ISAIAH 21:15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,

and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

ISAIAH 21:16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year,

according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar

shall fail:

ISAIAH 21:17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty

men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the Lord

God of Israel hath spoken {it}.

ISAIAH 22:1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee

now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

ISAIAH 22:2 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a

joyous city: thy slain {men are} not slain with the sword, nor

dead in battle.

ISAIAH 22:3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by

the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together,

{which} have fled from far.

ISAIAH 22:4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep

bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of

the daughter of my people.

ISAIAH 22:5 For {it is} a day of trouble, and of treading down,

and of perplexity by the Lord God of hosts in the valley of

vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

ISAIAH 22:6 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men {and}

horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

ISAIAH 22:7 And it shall come to pass, {that} thy choicest

valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set

themselves in array at the gate.

ISAIAH 22:8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou

didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.

ISAIAH 22:9 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David,

that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the

lower pool.

ISAIAH 22:10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and

the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

ISAIAH 22:11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the

water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker

thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

ISAIAH 22:12 And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call to

weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with

sackcloth:

ISAIAH 22:13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and

killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and

drink; for to morrow we shall die.

ISAIAH 22:14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the Lord of

hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye

die, saith the Lord God of hosts.

ISAIAH 22:15 Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, get thee unto

this treasurer, {even} unto Shebna, which {is} over the house,

{and say},

ISAIAH 22:16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that

thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, {as} he that heweth

him out a sepulchre on high, {and} that graveth an habitation for

himself in a rock?

ISAIAH 22:17 Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty

captivity, and will surely cover thee.

ISAIAH 22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee {like} a

ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the

chariots of thy glory {shall be} the shame of thy lord's house.

ISAIAH 22:19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy

state shall he pull thee down.

ISAIAH 22:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will

call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

ISAIAH 22:21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen

him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his

hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

and to the house of Judah.

ISAIAH 22:22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon

his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall

shut, and none shall open.

ISAIAH 22:23 And I will fasten him {as} a nail in a sure place;

and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

ISAIAH 22:24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his

father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small

quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of

flagons.

ISAIAH 22:25 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the nail

that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down,

and fall; and the burden that {was} upon it shall be cut off: for

the Lord hath spoken {it}.

ISAIAH 23:1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for

it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from

the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.

ISAIAH 23:2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the

merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

ISAIAH 23:3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of

the river, {is} her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.

ISAIAH 23:4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken,

{even} the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring

forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, {nor} bring up

virgins.

ISAIAH 23:5 As at the report concerning Egypt, {so} shall they be

sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

ISAIAH 23:6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the

isle.

ISAIAH 23:7 {Is} this your joyous {city}, whose antiquity {is} of

ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

ISAIAH 23:8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the

crowning {city}, whose merchants {are} princes, whose traffickers

{are} the honourable of the earth?

ISAIAH 23:9 The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the

pride of all glory, {and} to bring into contempt all the

honourable of the earth.

ISAIAH 23:10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of

Tarshish: {there is} no more strength.

ISAIAH 23:11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the

kingdoms: the Lord hath given a commandment against the merchant

{city}, to destroy the strong holds thereof.

ISAIAH 23:12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou

oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim;

there also shalt thou have no rest.

ISAIAH 23:13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was

not, {till} the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the

wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the

palaces thereof; {and} he brought it to ruin.

ISAIAH 23:14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is

laid waste.

ISAIAH 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre

shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one

king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an

harlot.

ISAIAH 23:16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that

hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that

thou mayest be remembered.

ISAIAH 23:17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy

years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her

hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the

world upon the face of the earth.

ISAIAH 23:18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness

to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her

merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat

sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

ISAIAH 24:1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh

it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the

inhabitants thereof.

ISAIAH 24:2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the

priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the

maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the

seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the

taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

ISAIAH 24:3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly

spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.

ISAIAH 24:4 The earth mourneth {and} fadeth away, the world

languisheth {and} fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do

languish.

ISAIAH 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants

thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the

ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

ISAIAH 24:6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they

that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the

earth are burned, and few men left.

ISAIAH 24:7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the

merryhearted do sigh.

ISAIAH 24:8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that

rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

ISAIAH 24:9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink

shall be bitter to them that drink it.

ISAIAH 24:10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is

shut up, that no man may come in.

ISAIAH 24:11 {There is} a crying for wine in the streets; all joy

is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

ISAIAH 24:12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is

smitten with destruction.

ISAIAH 24:13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among

the people, {there shall be} as the shaking of an olive tree,

{and} as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

ISAIAH 24:14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for

the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

ISAIAH 24:15 Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, {even}

the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

ISAIAH 24:16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard

songs, {even} glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my

leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt

treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very

treacherously.

ISAIAH 24:17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, {are} upon thee, O

inhabitant of the earth.

ISAIAH 24:18 And it shall come to pass, {that} he who fleeth from

the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh

up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for

the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the

earth do shake.

ISAIAH 24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean

dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

ISAIAH 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and

shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof

shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

ISAIAH 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} the

Lord shall punish the host of the high ones {that are} on high,

and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

ISAIAH 24:22 And they shall be gathered together, {as} prisoners

are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and

after many days shall they be visited.

ISAIAH 24:23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun

ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in

Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

ISAIAH 25:1 O Lord, thou {art} my God; I will exalt thee, I will

praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful {things; thy}

counsels of old {are} faithfulness {and} truth.

ISAIAH 25:2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; {of} a defenced

city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never

be built.

ISAIAH 25:3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the

city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.

ISAIAH 25:4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength

to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow

from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones {is} as a

storm {against} the wall.

ISAIAH 25:5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the

heat in a dry place; {even} the heat with the shadow of a cloud:

the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

ISAIAH 25:6 And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make

unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the

lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well

refined.

ISAIAH 25:7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the

covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over

all nations.

ISAIAH 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God

will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his

people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord

hath spoken {it}.

ISAIAH 25:9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this {is} our

God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the

Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his

salvation.

ISAIAH 25:10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord

rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is

trodden down for the dunghill.

ISAIAH 25:11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of

them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth {his hands} to swim:

and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of

their hands.

ISAIAH 25:12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall

he bring down, lay low, {and} bring to the ground, {even} to the

dust.

ISAIAH 26:1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of

Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will {God} appoint {for}

walls and bulwarks.

ISAIAH 26:2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which

keepeth the truth may enter in.

ISAIAH 26:3 Thou wilt keep {him} in perfect peace, {whose} mind

{is} stayed {on thee}: because he trusteth in thee.

ISAIAH 26:4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord

Jehovah {is} everlasting strength:

ISAIAH 26:5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the

lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, {even} to the

ground; he bringeth it {even} to the dust.

ISAIAH 26:6 The foot shall tread it down, {even} the feet of the

poor, {and} the steps of the needy.

ISAIAH 26:7 The way of the just {is} uprightness: thou, most

upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

ISAIAH 26:8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we

waited for thee; the desire of {our} soul Is to thy name, and to

the remembrance of thee.

ISAIAH 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea,

with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy

judgments {are} in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will

learn righteousness.

ISAIAH 26:10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, {yet} will he

not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal

unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.

ISAIAH 26:11 Lord, {when} thy hand is lifted up, they will not

see: {but} they shall see, and be ashamed for {their} envy at the

people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

ISAIAH 26:12 Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also

hast wrought all our works in us.

ISAIAH 26:13 O Lord our God, {other} lords beside thee have had

dominion over us: {but} by thee only will we make mention of thy

name.

ISAIAH 26:14 {They are} dead, they shall not live; {they are}

deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and

destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

ISAIAH 26:15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast

increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed {it}

far {unto} all the ends of the earth.

ISAIAH 26:16 Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured

out a prayer {when} thy chastening {was} upon them.

ISAIAH 26:17 Like as a woman with child, {that} draweth near the

time of her delivery, is in pain, {and} crieth out in her pangs;

so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.

ISAIAH 26:18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we

have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any

deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the

world fallen.

ISAIAH 26:19 Thy dead {men} shall live, {together with} my dead

body shall they arise.  Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust:

for thy dew {is as} the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast

out the dead.

ISAIAH 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and

shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little

moment, until the indignation be overpast.

ISAIAH 26:21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to

punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth

also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

ISAIAH 27:1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and

strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even

leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that

{is} in the sea.

ISAIAH 27:2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

ISAIAH 27:3 I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment:

lest {any} hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

ISAIAH 27:4 Fury {is} not in me: who would set the briers {and}

thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would

burn them together.

ISAIAH 27:5 Or let him take hold of my strength, {that} he may

make peace with me; {and} he shall make peace with me.

ISAIAH 27:6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root:

Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with

fruit.

ISAIAH 27:7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote

him? {or} is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are

slain by him?

ISAIAH 27:8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate

with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

ISAIAH 27:9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be

purged; and this {is} all the fruit to take away his sin; when he

maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten

in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

ISAIAH 27:10 Yet the defenced city {shall be} desolate, {and} the

habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the

calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches

thereof.

ISAIAH 27:11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be

broken off: the women come, {and} set them on fire: for it {is} a

people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not

have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no

favour.

ISAIAH 27:12 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} the

Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream

of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of

Israel.

ISAIAH 27:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} the

great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were

ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the

land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at

Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of

Ephraim, whose glorious beauty {is} a fading flower, which {are}

on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with

wine!

ISAIAH 28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one,

{which} as a tempest of hail {and} a destroying storm, as a flood

of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with

the hand.

ISAIAH 28:3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall

be trodden under feet:

ISAIAH 28:4 And the glorious beauty, which {is} on the head of

the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, {and} as the hasty

fruit before the summer; which {when} he that looketh upon it

seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

ISAIAH 28:5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of

glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his

people,

ISAIAH 28:6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in

judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the

gate.

ISAIAH 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, and through

strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have

erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they

are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they

stumble {in} judgment.

ISAIAH 28:8 For all tables are full of vomit {and} filthiness,

{so that there is} no place {clean}.

ISAIAH 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make

to understand doctrine? {them that are} weaned from the milk,

{and} drawn from the breasts.

ISAIAH 28:10 For precept {must be} upon precept, precept upon

precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, {and}

there a little:

ISAIAH 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he

speak to this people.

ISAIAH 28:12 To whom he said, This {is} the rest {wherewith} ye

may cause the weary to rest; and this {is} the refreshing: yet

they would not hear.

ISAIAH 28:13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon

precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line;

here a little, {and} there a little; that they might go, and fall

backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

ISAIAH 28:14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful

men, that rule this people which {is} in Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with

death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing

scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we

have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid

ourselves:

ISAIAH 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in

Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner

{stone}, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make

haste.

ISAIAH 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and

righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the

refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

ISAIAH 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled,

and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the

overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden

down by it.

ISAIAH 28:19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you:

for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night:

and it shall be a vexation only {to} understand the report.

ISAIAH 28:20 For the bed is shorter than that {a man} can stretch

himself {on it}: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap

himself {in it}.

ISAIAH 28:21 For the Lord shall rise up as {in} mount Perazim, he

shall be wroth as {in} the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his

work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange

act.

ISAIAH 28:22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be

made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a

consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

ISAIAH 28:23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my

speech.

ISAIAH 28:24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open

and break the clods of his ground?

ISAIAH 28:25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he

not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in

the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their

place?

ISAIAH 28:26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, {and}

doth teach him.

ISAIAH 28:27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing

instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin;

but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with

a rod.

ISAIAH 28:28 Bread {corn} is bruised; because he will not ever be

threshing it, nor break {it with} the wheel of his cart, nor

bruise it {with} his horsemen.

ISAIAH 28:29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts,

{which} is wonderful in counsel, {and} excellent in working.

ISAIAH 29:1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city {where} David dwelt!

add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

ISAIAH 29:2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be

heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

ISAIAH 29:3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will

lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts

against thee.

ISAIAH 29:4 And thou shalt be brought down, {and} shalt speak out

of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and

thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of

the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

ISAIAH 29:5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like

small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones {shall be} as

chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

ISAIAH 29:6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with

thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and

tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

ISAIAH 29:7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight

against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition,

and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

ISAIAH 29:8 It shall even be as when an hungry {man} dreameth,

and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or

as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he

awaketh, and, behold, he {is faint}, and his soul hath appetite:

so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against

mount Zion.

ISAIAH 29:9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry:

they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with

strong drink.

ISAIAH 29:10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of

deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your

rulers, the seers hath he covered.

ISAIAH 29:11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the

words of a book that is sealed, which {men} deliver to one that

is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I

cannot; for it {is} sealed:

ISAIAH 29:12 And the book is delivered to him that is not

learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not

learned.

ISAIAH 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people

draw near {me} with their mouth, and with their lips do honour

me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear

toward me is taught by the precept of men:

ISAIAH 29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous

work among this people, {even} a marvellous work and a wonder:

for the wisdom of their wise {men} shall perish, and the

understanding of their prudent {men} shall be hid.

ISAIAH 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel

from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who

seeth us? and who knoweth us?

ISAIAH 29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be

esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that

made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him

that framed it, He had no understanding?

ISAIAH 29:17 {Is} it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon

shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field

shall be esteemed as a forest?

ISAIAH 29:18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the

book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and

out of darkness.

ISAIAH 29:19 The meek also shall increase {their} joy in the

Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of

Israel.

ISAIAH 29:20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the

scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

ISAIAH 29:21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a

snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just

for a thing of nought.

ISAIAH 29:22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham,

concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed,

neither shall his face now wax pale.

ISAIAH 29:23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine

hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and

sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

ISAIAH 29:24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to

understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

ISAIAH 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that

take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but

not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

ISAIAH 30:2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked

at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,

and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

ISAIAH 30:3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your

shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt {your} confusion.

ISAIAH 30:4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors

came to Hanes.

ISAIAH 30:5 They were all ashamed of a people {that} could not

profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a

reproach.

ISAIAH 30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land

of trouble and anguish, from whence {come} the young and old

lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their

riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures

upon the bunches of camels, to a people {that} shall not profit

{them}.

ISAIAH 30:7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no

purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength

{is} to sit still.

ISAIAH 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it

in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

ISAIAH 30:9 That this {is} a rebellious people, lying children,

children {that} will not hear the law of the Lord:

ISAIAH 30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the

prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth

things, prophesy deceits:

ISAIAH 30:11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path,

cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

ISAIAH 30:12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because

ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness,

and stay thereon:

ISAIAH 30:13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach

ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh

suddenly at an instant.

ISAIAH 30:14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the

potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so

that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to

take fire from the hearth, or to take water {withal} out of the

pit.

ISAIAH 30:15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel;

In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in

confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

ISAIAH 30:16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses;

therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift;

therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

ISAIAH 30:17 One thousand {shall flee} at the rebuke of one; at

the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon

upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

ISAIAH 30:18 And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be

gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may

have mercy upon you: for the Lord {is} a God of judgment: blessed

{are} all they that wait for him.

ISAIAH 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem:

thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at

the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

ISAIAH 30:20 And {though} the Lord give you the bread of

adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy

teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall

see thy teachers:

ISAIAH 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee,

saying, This {is} the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the

right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

ISAIAH 30:22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven

images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold:

thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say

unto it, Get thee hence.

ISAIAH 30:23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou

shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the

earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy

cattle feed in large pastures.

ISAIAH 30:24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the

ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with

the shovel and with the fan.

ISAIAH 30:25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and

upon every high hill, rivers {and} streams of waters in the day

of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

ISAIAH 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light

of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the

light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the

breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

ISAIAH 30:27 Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far,

burning {with} his anger, and the burden {thereof is} heavy: his

lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

ISAIAH 30:28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall

reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the

sieve of vanity: and {there shall be} a bridle in the jaws of the

people, causing {them} to err.

ISAIAH 30:29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night {when} a holy

solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with

a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One

of Israel.

ISAIAH 30:30 And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be

heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the

indignation of {his} anger, and {with} the flame of a devouring

fire, {with} scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

ISAIAH 30:31 For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian

be beaten down, {which} smote with a rod.

ISAIAH 30:32 And {in} every place where the grounded staff shall

pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, {it} shall be with

tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with

it.

ISAIAH 30:33 For Tophet {is} ordained of old; yea, for the king

it is prepared; he hath made {it} deep {and} large: the pile

thereof {is} fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a

stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

ISAIAH 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay

on horses, and trust in chariots, because {they are} many; and in

horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto

the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!

ISAIAH 31:2 Yet he also {is} wise, and will bring evil, and will

not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the

evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

ISAIAH 31:3 Now the Egyptians {are} men, and not God; and their

horses flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out his

hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen

shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

ISAIAH 31:4 For thus hath the Lord spoken unto me, Like as the

lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of

shepherds is called forth against him, {he} will not be afraid of

their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall

the Lord of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the

hill thereof.

ISAIAH 31:5 As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend

Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver {it; and} passing over

he will preserve {it}.

ISAIAH 31:6 Turn ye unto {him from} whom the children of Israel

have deeply revolted.

ISAIAH 31:7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols

of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made

unto you {for} a sin.

ISAIAH 31:8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a

mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him:

but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be

discomfited.

ISAIAH 31:9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear,

and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the Lord,

whose fire {is} in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and

princes shall rule in judgment.

ISAIAH 32:2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind,

and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place,

as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

ISAIAH 32:3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and

the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

ISAIAH 32:4 The heart also of the rash shall understand

knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to

speak plainly.

ISAIAH 32:5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor

the churl said {to be} bountiful.

ISAIAH 32:6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart

will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error

against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he

will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

ISAIAH 32:7 The instruments also of the churl {are} evil: he

deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words,

even when the needy speaketh right.

ISAIAH 32:8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by

liberal things shall he stand.

ISAIAH 32:9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye

careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

ISAIAH 32:10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye

careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall

not come.

ISAIAH 32:11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye

careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird {sackcloth}

upon {your} loins.

ISAIAH 32:12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant

fields, for the fruitful vine.

ISAIAH 32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns

{and} briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy {in} the joyous

city:

ISAIAH 32:14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude

of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens

for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

ISAIAH 32:15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and

the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be

counted for a forest.

ISAIAH 32:16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and

righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

ISAIAH 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and

the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

ISAIAH 32:18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation,

and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

ISAIAH 32:19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and

the city shall be low in a low place.

ISAIAH 32:20 Blessed {are} ye that sow beside all waters, that

send forth {thither} the feet of the ox and the ass.

ISAIAH 33:1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou {wast} not

spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not

treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou

shalt be {spoiled}; and when thou shalt make an end to deal

treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

ISAIAH 33:2 O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee:

be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time

of trouble.

ISAIAH 33:3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the

lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

ISAIAH 33:4 And your spoil shall be gathered {like} the gathering

of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he

run upon them.

ISAIAH 33:5 The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath

filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

ISAIAH 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of

thy times, {and} strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord {is}

his treasure.

ISAIAH 33:7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the

ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

ISAIAH 33:8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he

hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he

regardeth no man.

ISAIAH 33:9 The earth mourneth {and} languisheth: Lebanon is

ashamed {and} hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan

and Carmel shake off {their fruits}.

ISAIAH 33:10 Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be

exalted; now will I lift up myself.

ISAIAH 33:11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth

stubble: your breath, {as} fire, shall devour you.

ISAIAH 33:12 And the people shall be {as} the burnings of lime:

{as} thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

ISAIAH 33:13 Hear, ye {that are} far off, what I have done; and,

ye {that are} near, acknowledge my might.

ISAIAH 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath

surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the

devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting

burnings?

ISAIAH 33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;

he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands

from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of

blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

ISAIAH 33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence {shall

be} the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters

{shall be} sure.

ISAIAH 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they

shall behold the land that is very far off.

ISAIAH 33:18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where {is} the

scribe? where {is} the receiver? where {is} he that counted the

towers?

ISAIAH 33:19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a

deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue,

{that thou canst} not understand.

ISAIAH 33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine

eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle {that}

shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever

be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

ISAIAH 33:21 But there the glorious Lord {will be} unto us a

place of broad rivers {and} streams; wherein shall go no galley

with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

ISAIAH 33:22 For the Lord {is} our judge, the Lord {is} our

lawgiver, the Lord {is} our king; he will save us.

ISAIAH 33:23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well

strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is

the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

ISAIAH 33:24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the

people that dwell therein {shall be} forgiven {their} iniquity.

ISAIAH 34:1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye

people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world,

and all things that come forth of it.

ISAIAH 34:2 For the indignation of the Lord {is} upon all

nations, and {his} fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly

destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

ISAIAH 34:3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink

shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be

melted with their blood.

ISAIAH 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and

the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their

host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and

as a falling {fig} from the fig tree.

ISAIAH 34:5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it

shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to

judgment.

ISAIAH 34:6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is

made fat with fatness, {and} with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a

sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

ISAIAH 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the

bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with

blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

ISAIAH 34:8 For {it is} the day of the Lord's vengeance, {and}

the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

ISAIAH 34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch,

and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall

become burning pitch.

ISAIAH 34:10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke

thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it

shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

ISAIAH 34:11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it;

the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall

stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of

emptiness.

ISAIAH 34:12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom,

but none {shall be} there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

ISAIAH 34:13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and

brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation

of dragons, {and} a court for owls.

ISAIAH 34:14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with

the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his

fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for

herself a place of rest.

ISAIAH 34:15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay,

and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures

also be gathered, every one with her mate.

ISAIAH 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no

one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth

it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

ISAIAH 34:17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath

divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever,

from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

ISAIAH 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad

for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

ISAIAH 35:2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with

joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the

excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the

Lord, {and} the excellency of our God.

ISAIAH 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble

knees.

ISAIAH 35:4 Say to them {that are} of a fearful heart, Be strong,

fear not: behold, your God will come {with} vengeance, {even} God

{with} a recompence; he will come and save you.

ISAIAH 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the

ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

ISAIAH 35:6 Then shall the lame {man} leap as an hart, and the

tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break

out, and streams in the desert.

ISAIAH 35:7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the

thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons,

where each lay, {shall be} grass with reeds and rushes.

ISAIAH 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it

shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass

over it; but it {shall be} for those: the wayfaring men, though

fools, shall not err {therein}.

ISAIAH 35:9 No lion shall be there, nor {any} ravenous beast

shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the

redeemed shall walk {there}:

ISAIAH 35:10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come

to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they

shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee

away.

ISAIAH 36:1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king

Hezekiah, {that} Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all

the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.

ISAIAH 36:2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish

to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood

by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's

field.

ISAIAH 36:3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son,

which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah,

Asaph's son, the recorder.

ISAIAH 36:4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah,

Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence

{is} this wherein thou trustest?

ISAIAH 36:5 I say, {sayest thou}, (but {they are but} vain words)

{I have} counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou

trust, that thou rebellest against me?

ISAIAH 36:6 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed,

on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and

pierce it so {is} Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

ISAIAH 36:7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God:

{is it} not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath

taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship

before this altar?

ISAIAH 36:8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master

the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if

thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

ISAIAH 36:9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain

of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt

for chariots and for horsemen?

ISAIAH 36:10 And am I now come up without the Lord against this

land to destroy it?  the Lord said unto me, Go up against this

land, and destroy it.

ISAIAH 36:11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto

Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian

language; for we understand {it}: and speak not to us in the

Jews' language, in the ears of the people that {are} on the wall.

ISAIAH 36:12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy

master and to thee to speak these words? {hath he} not {sent me}

to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own

dung, and drink their own piss with you?

ISAIAH 36:13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in

the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great

king, the king of Assyria.

ISAIAH 36:14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you:

for he shall not be able to deliver you.

ISAIAH 36:15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord,

saying, The Lord will surely deliver us: this city shall not be

delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

ISAIAH 36:16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of

Assyria, Make {an agreement} with me {by} a present, and come out

to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig

tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;

ISAIAH 36:17 Until I come and take you away to a land like your

own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

ISAIAH 36:18 {Beware} lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The

Lord will deliver us.  Hath any of the gods of the nations

delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

ISAIAH 36:19 Where {are} the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where

{are} the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out

of my hand?

ISAIAH 36:20 Who {are they} among all the gods of these lands,

that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the Lord

should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

ISAIAH 36:21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a

word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

ISAIAH 36:22 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that {was}

over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of

Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with {their} clothes rent, and

told him the words of Rabshakeh.

ISAIAH 37:1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard {it},

that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and

went into the house of the Lord.

ISAIAH 37:2 And he sent Eliakim, who {was} over the household,

and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with

sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

ISAIAH 37:3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day

{is} a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the

children are come to the birth, and {there is} not strength to

bring forth.

ISAIAH 37:4 It may be the Lord thy God will hear the words of

Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to

reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the

Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up {thy} prayer for the

remnant that is left.

ISAIAH 37:5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

ISAIAH 37:6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto

your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words that

thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria

have blasphemed me.

ISAIAH 37:7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall

hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him

to fall by the sword in his own land.

ISAIAH 37:8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria

warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed

from Lachish.

ISAIAH 37:9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of

Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he

heard {it}, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

ISAIAH 37:10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah,

saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee,

saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of

Assyria.

ISAIAH 37:11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria

have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou

be delivered?

ISAIAH 37:12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my

fathers have destroyed, {as} Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and

the children of Eden which {were} in Telassar?

ISAIAH 37:13 Where {is} the king of Hamath, and the king of

Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

ISAIAH 37:14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of

the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house

of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord.

ISAIAH 37:15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying,

ISAIAH 37:16 O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest

{between} the Cherubims, thou {art} the God, {even} thou alone,

of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and

earth.

ISAIAH 37:17 Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear; open thine

eyes, O Lord, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib,

which hath sent to reproach the living God.

ISAIAH 37:18 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid

waste all the nations, and their countries,

ISAIAH 37:19 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they

{were} no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone:

therefore they have destroyed them.

ISAIAH 37:20 Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his

hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou {art}

the Lord, {even} thou only.

ISAIAH 37:21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah,

saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Whereas thou hast

prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

ISAIAH 37:22 This {is} the word which the Lord hath spoken

concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised

thee, {and} laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath

shaken her head at thee.

ISAIAH 37:23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and

against whom hast thou exalted {thy} voice, and lifted up thine

eyes on high? {even} against the Holy One of Israel.

ISAIAH 37:24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and

hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the

height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut

down the tall cedars thereof, {and} the choice fir trees thereof:

and I will enter into the height of his border, {and} the forest

of his Carmel.

ISAIAH 37:25 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of

my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

ISAIAH 37:26 Hast thou not heard long ago, {how} I have done it;

{and} of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought

it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities

{into} ruinous heaps.

ISAIAH 37:27 Therefore their inhabitants {were} of small power,

they were dismayed and confounded: they were {as} the grass of

the field, and {as} the green herb, {as} the grass on the

housetops, and {as corn} blasted before it be grown up.

ISAIAH 37:28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy

coming in, and thy rage against me.

ISAIAH 37:29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come

up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and

my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by

which thou camest.

ISAIAH 37:30 And this {shall be} a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat

{this} year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that

which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and

reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

ISAIAH 37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of

Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

ISAIAH 37:32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and

they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts

shall do this.

ISAIAH 37:33 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of

Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow

there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against

it.

ISAIAH 37:34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he

return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 37:35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own

sake, and for my servant David's sake.

ISAIAH 37:36 Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in

the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five

thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they

{were} all dead corpses.

ISAIAH 37:37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went

and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

ISAIAH 37:38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the

house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons

smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of

Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

ISAIAH 38:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And

Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto

him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order: for thou

shalt die, and not live.

ISAIAH 38:2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and

prayed unto the Lord,

ISAIAH 38:3 And said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I

have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and

have done {that which is} good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept

sore.

ISAIAH 38:4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,

ISAIAH 38:5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God

of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy

tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

ISAIAH 38:6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand

of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

ISAIAH 38:7 And this {shall be} a sign unto thee from the Lord,

that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken;

ISAIAH 38:8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees,

which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.

So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone

down.

ISAIAH 38:9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had

been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:

ISAIAH 38:10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to

the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

ISAIAH 38:11 I said, I shall not see the Lord, {even} the Lord,

in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the

inhabitants of the world.

ISAIAH 38:12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a

shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a Weaver my life: he will

cut me off with pining sickness: from day {even} to night wilt

thou make an end of me.

ISAIAH 38:13 I reckoned till morning, {that}, as a lion, so will

he break all my bones: from day {even} to night wilt thou make an

end of me.

ISAIAH 38:14 Like a crane {or} a swallow, so did I chatter: I did

mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail {with looking} upward: O Lord, I

am oppressed; undertake for me.

ISAIAH 38:15 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and

himself hath done {it}: I shall go softly all my years in the

bitterness of my soul.

ISAIAH 38:16 O Lord, by these {things men} live, and in all these

{things is} the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and

make me to live.

ISAIAH 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou

hast in love to my soul {delivered it} from the pit of

corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

ISAIAH 38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can {not}

celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for

thy truth.

ISAIAH 38:19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I

{do} this day: the father to the children shall make known thy

truth.

ISAIAH 38:20 The Lord {was ready} to save me: therefore we will

sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our

life in the house of the Lord.

ISAIAH 38:21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs,

and lay {it} for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.

ISAIAH 38:22 Hezekiah also had said, What {is} the sign that I

shall go up to the house of the Lord?

ISAIAH 39:1 At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan,

king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he

had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.

ISAIAH 39:2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the

house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the

spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his

armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was

nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah

shewed them not.

ISAIAH 39:3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and

said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they

unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country

unto me, {even} from Babylon.

ISAIAH 39:4 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And

Hezekiah answered, All that {is} in mine house have they seen:

there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.

ISAIAH 39:5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the

Lord of hosts:

ISAIAH 39:6 Behold, the days come, that all that {is} in thine

house, and {that} which thy fathers have laid up in store until

this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left,

saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 39:7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which

thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs

in the palace of the king of Babylon.

ISAIAH 39:8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good {is} the word of

the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there

shall be peace and truth in my days.

ISAIAH 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

ISAIAH 40:2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,

that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned:

for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.

ISAIAH 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,

Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a

highway for our God.

ISAIAH 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and

hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight,

and the rough places plain:

ISAIAH 40:5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all

flesh shall see {it} together: for the mouth of the Lord hath

spoken {it}.

ISAIAH 40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry?

All flesh {is} grass, and all the goodliness thereof {is} as the

flower of the field:

ISAIAH 40:7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the

spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people {is} grass.

ISAIAH 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word

of our God shall stand for ever.

ISAIAH 40:9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into

the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift

up thy voice with strength; lift {it} up, be not afraid; say unto

the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

ISAIAH 40:10 Behold, the Lord God will come with strong {hand},

and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward {is} with him,

and his work before him.

ISAIAH 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall

gather the lambs with his arm, and carry {them} in his bosom,

{and} shall gently lead those that are with young.

ISAIAH 40:12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his

hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the

dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in

scales, and the hills in a balance?

ISAIAH 40:13 Who hath directed the spirit of the Lord, or {being}

his counseller hath taught him?

ISAIAH 40:14 With whom took he counsel, and {who} instructed him,

and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge,

and shewed to him the way of understanding?

ISAIAH 40:15 Behold, the nations {are} as a drop of a bucket, and

are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh

up the isles as a very little thing.

ISAIAH 40:16 And Lebanon {is} not sufficient to burn, nor the

beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.

ISAIAH 40:17 All nations before him {are} as nothing; and they

are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

ISAIAH 40:18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness

will ye compare unto him?

ISAIAH 40:19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the

goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

ISAIAH 40:20 He that {is} so impoverished that he hath no

oblation chooseth a tree {that} will not rot; he seeketh unto him

a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, {that} shall not be

moved.

ISAIAH 40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not

been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the

foundations of the earth?

ISAIAH 40:22 {It is} he that sitteth upon the circle of the

earth, and the inhabitants thereof {are} as grasshoppers; that

stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out

as a tent to dwell in:

ISAIAH 40:23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the

judges of the earth as vanity.

ISAIAH 40:24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not

be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and

he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the

whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

ISAIAH 40:25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal?

saith the Holy One.

ISAIAH 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath

created these {things}, that bringeth out their host by number:

he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for

that {he is} strong in power; not one faileth.

ISAIAH 40:27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My

way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my

God?

ISAIAH 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, {that} the

everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth,

fainteth not, neither is weary?  {there is} no searching of his

understanding.

ISAIAH 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to {them that

have} no might he increaseth strength.

ISAIAH 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the

young men shall utterly fall:

ISAIAH 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew {their}

strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall

run, and not be weary; {and} they shall walk, and not faint.

ISAIAH 41:1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people

renew {their} strength: let them come near; then let them speak:

let us come near together to judgment.

ISAIAH 41:2 Who raised up the righteous {man} from the east,

called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made

{him} rule over kings? he gave {them} as the dust to his sword,

{and} as driven stubble to his bow.

ISAIAH 41:3 He pursued them, {and} passed safely; {even} by the

way {that} he had not gone with his feet.

ISAIAH 41:4 Who hath wrought and done {it}, calling the

generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with

the last; I {am} he.

ISAIAH 41:5 The isles saw {it}, and feared; the ends of the earth

were afraid, drew near, and came.

ISAIAH 41:6 They helped every one his neighbour; and {every one}

said to his brother, Be of good courage.

ISAIAH 41:7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, {and} he

that smootheth {with} the hammer him that smote the anvil,

saying, It {is} ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with

nails, {that} it should not be moved.

ISAIAH 41:8 But thou, Israel, {art} my servant, Jacob whom I have

chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

ISAIAH 41:9 {Thou} whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,

and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee,

Thou {art} my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee

away.

ISAIAH 41:10 Fear thou not; for I {am} with thee: be not

dismayed; for I {am} thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will

help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my

righteousness.

ISAIAH 41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee

shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and

they that strive with thee shall perish.

ISAIAH 41:12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them,

{even} them that contended with thee: they that war against thee

shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

ISAIAH 41:13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand,

saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

ISAIAH 41:14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, {and} ye men of Israel; I

will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of

Israel.

ISAIAH 41:15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing

instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and

beat {them} small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

ISAIAH 41:16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them

away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt

rejoice in the Lord, {and} shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

ISAIAH 41:17 {When} the poor and needy seek water, and {there is}

none, {and} their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear

them, {I} the God of Israel will not forsake them.

ISAIAH 41:18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in

the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of

water, and the dry land springs of water.

ISAIAH 41:19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the

shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the

desert the fir tree, {and} the pine, and the box tree together:

ISAIAH 41:20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and

understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this,

and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

ISAIAH 41:21 Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your

strong {reasons}, saith the King of Jacob.

ISAIAH 41:22 Let them bring {them} forth, and shew us what shall

happen: let them shew the former things, what they {be}, that we

may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us

things for to come.

ISAIAH 41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we

may know that ye {are} gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we

may be dismayed, and behold {it} together.

ISAIAH 41:24 Behold, ye {are} of nothing, and your work of

nought: an abomination {is he that} chooseth you.

ISAIAH 41:25 I have raised up {one} from the north, and he shall

come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and

he shall come upon princes as {upon} morter, and as the potter

treadeth clay.

ISAIAH 41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may

know? and beforetime, that we may say, {He is} righteous? yea,

{there is} none that sheweth, yea, {there is} none that

declareth, yea, {there is} none that heareth your words.

ISAIAH 41:27 The first {shall say} to Zion, Behold, behold them:

and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

ISAIAH 41:28 For I beheld, and {there was} no man; even among

them, and {there was} no counseller, that, when I asked of them,

could answer a word.

ISAIAH 41:29 Behold, they {are} all vanity; their works {are}

nothing: their molten images {are} wind and confusion.

ISAIAH 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, {in

whom} my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall

bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

ISAIAH 42:2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to

be heard in the street.

ISAIAH 42:3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking

flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto

truth.

ISAIAH 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have

set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

ISAIAH 42:5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens,

and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that

which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people

upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

ISAIAH 42:6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and

will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a

covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

ISAIAH 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners

from the prison, {and} them that sit in darkness out of the

prison house.

ISAIAH 42:8 I {am} the Lord: that {is} my name: and my glory will

I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

ISAIAH 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new

things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

ISAIAH 42:10 Sing unto the Lord a new song, {and} his praise from

the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is

therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

ISAIAH 42:11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up

{their voice}, the villages {that} Kedar doth inhabit: let the

inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the

mountains.

ISAIAH 42:12 Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his

praise in the islands.

ISAIAH 42:13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall

stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he

shall prevail against his enemies.

ISAIAH 42:14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still,

{and} refrained myself: {now} will I cry like a travailing woman;

I will destroy and devour at once.

ISAIAH 42:15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up

all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will

dry up the pools.

ISAIAH 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way {that} they knew

not; I will lead them in paths {that} they have not known: I will

make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.

These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

ISAIAH 42:17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly

ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten

images, Ye {are} our gods.

ISAIAH 42:18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

ISAIAH 42:19 Who {is} blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my

messenger {that} I sent?  who {is} blind as {he that is} perfect,

and blind as the Lord's servant?

ISAIAH 42:20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening

the ears, but he heareth not.

ISAIAH 42:21 The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness'

sake; he will magnify the law, and make {it} honourable.

ISAIAH 42:22 But this {is} a people robbed and spoiled; {they

are} all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison

houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil,

and none saith, Restore.

ISAIAH 42:23 Who among you will give ear to this? {who} will

hearken and hear for the time to come?

ISAIAH 42:24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the

robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? for

they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto

his law.

ISAIAH 42:25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his

anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire

round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid {it}

not to heart.

ISAIAH 43:1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O

Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have

redeemed thee, I have called {thee} by thy name; thou {art} mine.

ISAIAH 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I {will be}

with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;

neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

ISAIAH 43:3 For I {am} the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel,

thy Saviour: I gave Egypt {for} thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for

thee.

ISAIAH 43:4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been

honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for

thee, and people for thy life.

ISAIAH 43:5 Fear not: for I {am} with thee: I will bring thy seed

from the east, and gather thee from the west;

ISAIAH 43:6 I will say to the north, give up; and to the south,

keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the

ends of the earth;

ISAIAH 43:7 {Even} every one that is called by my name: for I

have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have

made him.

ISAIAH 43:8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the

deaf that have ears.

ISAIAH 43:9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the

people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us

former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they

may be justified: or let them hear, and say, {It is} truth.

ISAIAH 43:10 Ye {are} my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my

servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and

understand that I {am} he: before me there was no God formed,

neither shall there be after me.

ISAIAH 43:11 I, {even} I, {am} the Lord; and beside me {there is}

no saviour.

ISAIAH 43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed,

when {there was} no strange {god} among you: therefore ye {are}

my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I {am} God.

ISAIAH 43:13 Yea, before the day {was} I {am} he; and {there is}

none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall

let it?

ISAIAH 43:14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of

Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought

down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry {is} in the

ships.

ISAIAH 43:15 I {am} the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of

Israel, your King.

ISAIAH 43:16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea,

and a path in the mighty waters;

ISAIAH 43:17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army

and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise:

they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

ISAIAH 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider

the things of old.

ISAIAH 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring

forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the

wilderness, {and} rivers in the desert.

ISAIAH 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons

and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, {and}

rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

ISAIAH 43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall

shew forth my praise.

ISAIAH 43:22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou

hast been weary of me, O Israel.

ISAIAH 43:23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy

burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy

sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor

wearied thee with incense.

ISAIAH 43:24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money,

neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but

thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me

with thine iniquities.

ISAIAH 43:25 I, {even} I, {am} he that blotteth out thy

transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

ISAIAH 43:26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together:

declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

ISAIAH 43:27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have

transgressed against me.

ISAIAH 43:28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the

sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to

reproaches.

ISAIAH 44:1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I

have chosen:

ISAIAH 44:2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee

from the womb, {which} will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my

servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

ISAIAH 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and

floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed,

and my blessing upon thine offspring:

ISAIAH 44:4 And they shall spring up {as} among the grass, as

willows by the water courses.

ISAIAH 44:5 One shall say, I {am} the Lord's; and another shall

call {himself} by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe

{with} his hand unto the Lord, and surname {himself} by the name

of Israel.

ISAIAH 44:6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his

redeemer the Lord of hosts; I {am} the first, and I {am} the

last; and beside me {there is} no God.

ISAIAH 44:7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and

set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and

the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto

them.

ISAIAH 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee

from that time, and have declared {it}? ye {are} even my

witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, {there is} no God; I

know not {any}.

ISAIAH 44:9 They that make a graven image {are} all of them

vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they

{are} their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may

be ashamed.

ISAIAH 44:10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image

{that} is profitable for nothing?

ISAIAH 44:11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the

workmen, they {are} of men: let them all be gathered together,

let them stand up; {yet} they shall fear, {and} they shall be

ashamed together.

ISAIAH 44:12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals,

and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength

of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he

drinketh no water, and is faint.

ISAIAH 44:13 The carpenter stretcheth out {his} rule; he marketh

it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it

out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man,

according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the

house.

ISAIAH 44:14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress

and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees

of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish

{it}.

ISAIAH 44:15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take

thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth {it}, and baketh

bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth {it}; he maketh it a

graven image, and falleth down thereto.

ISAIAH 44:16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part

thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied:

yea, he warmeth {himself}, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen

the fire:

ISAIAH 44:17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, {even} his

graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth {it}, and

prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou {art} my god.

ISAIAH 44:18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut

their eyes, that they cannot see; {and} their hearts, that they

cannot understand.

ISAIAH 44:19 And none considereth in his heart, neither {is

there} knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of

it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals

thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten {it}: and shall I make

the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the

stock of a tree?

ISAIAH 44:20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned

him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, {Is there}

not a lie in my right hand?

ISAIAH 44:21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou {art}

my servant: I have formed thee; thou {art} my servant: O Israel,

thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

ISAIAH 44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy

transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I

have redeemed thee.

ISAIAH 44:23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done {it}:

shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye

mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath

redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.

ISAIAH 44:24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that

formed thee from the womb, I {am} the Lord that maketh all

{things}; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth

abroad the earth by myself;

ISAIAH 44:25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh

diviners mad; that turneth wise {men} backward, and maketh their

knowledge foolish;

ISAIAH 44:26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and

performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to

Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah,

Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places

thereof:

ISAIAH 44:27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up

thy rivers:

ISAIAH 44:28 That saith of Cyrus, {He is} my shepherd, and shall

perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be

built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

ISAIAH 45:1 Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose

right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I

will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved

gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

ISAIAH 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places

straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in

sunder the bars of iron:

ISAIAH 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and

hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the

Lord, which call {thee} by thy name, {am} the God of Israel.

ISAIAH 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I

have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though

thou hast not known me.

ISAIAH 45:5 I {am} the Lord, and {there is} none else, {there is}

no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

ISAIAH 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and

from the west, that {there is} none beside me. I {am} the Lord,

and {there is} none else.

ISAIAH 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace,

and create evil: I the Lord do all these {things}.

ISAIAH 45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies

pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring

forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the

Lord have created it.

ISAIAH 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! {Let} the

potsherd {strive} with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay

say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He

hath no hands?

ISAIAH 45:10 Woe unto him that saith unto {his} father, What

begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

ISAIAH 45:11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his

Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and

concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

ISAIAH 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I,

{even} my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their

host have I commanded.

ISAIAH 45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will

direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go

my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.

ISAIAH 45:14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and

merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall

come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come

after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall

down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, {saying},

Surely God {is} in thee; and {there is} none else, {there is} no

God.

ISAIAH 45:15 Verily thou {art} a God that hidest thyself, O God

of Israel, the Saviour.

ISAIAH 45:16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of

them: they shall go to confusion together {that are} makers of

idols.

ISAIAH 45:17 {But} Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an

everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded

world without end.

ISAIAH 45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens;

God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath

established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be

inhabited: I {am} the Lord; and {there is} none else.

ISAIAH 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the

earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I

the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

ISAIAH 45:20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye

{that are} escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that

set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god {that}

cannot save.

ISAIAH 45:21 Tell ye, and bring {them} near; yea, let them take

counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? {who}

hath told it from that time? {have} not I the Lord? and {there

is} no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; {there is}

none beside me.

ISAIAH 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the

earth: for I {am} God, and {there is} none else.

ISAIAH 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my

mouth {in} righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me

every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

ISAIAH 45:24 Surely, shall {one} say, In the Lord have I

righteousness and strength: {even} to him shall {men} come; and

all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

ISAIAH 45:25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be

justified, and shall glory.

ISAIAH 46:1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon

the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages {were} heavy

loaden; {they are} a burden to the weary {beast}.

ISAIAH 46:2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not

deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

ISAIAH 46:3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the

remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne {by me} from the

belly, which are carried from the womb:

ISAIAH 46:4 And {even} to {your} old age I {am} he; and {even} to

hoar hairs will I carry {you}: I have made, and I will bear; even

I will carry, and will deliver {you}.

ISAIAH 46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make {me} equal, and

compare me, that we may be like?

ISAIAH 46:6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and and weigh silver

in the balance {and} hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god:

they fall down, yea, they worship.

ISAIAH 46:7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and

set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he

not remove: yea, {one} shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer,

nor save him out of his trouble.

ISAIAH 46:8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring {it}

again to mind, O ye transgressors.

ISAIAH 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I {am} God,

and {there is} none else; {I am} God, and {there is} none like

me,

ISAIAH 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from

ancient times {the things} that are not {yet} done, saying, My

counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

ISAIAH 46:11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that

executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken {it},

I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed {it}, I will also

do it.

ISAIAH 46:12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that {are} far

from righteousness:

ISAIAH 46:13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far

off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation

in Zion for Israel my glory.

ISAIAH 47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of

Babylon, sit on the ground: {there is} no throne, O daughter of

the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and

delicate.

ISAIAH 47:2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy

locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the

rivers.

ISAIAH 47:3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame

shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet {thee

as} a man.

ISAIAH 47:4 {As for} our redeemer, the Lord of hosts {is} his

name, the Holy One of Israel.

ISAIAH 47:5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O

daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The

lady of kingdoms.

ISAIAH 47:6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine

inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them

no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

ISAIAH 47:7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: {so}

that thou didst not lay these {things} to thy heart, neither

didst remember the latter end of it.

ISAIAH 47:8 Therefore hear now this, {thou that art} given to

pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart,

I {am}, and none else beside me; I shall not sit {as} a widow,

neither shall I know the loss of children:

ISAIAH 47:9 But these two {things} shall come to thee in a moment

in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come

upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries,

{and} for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

ISAIAH 47:10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast

said, None seeth me.  Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath

perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I {am}, and

none else beside me.

ISAIAH 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not

know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee;

thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come

upon thee suddenly, {which} thou shalt not know.

ISAIAH 47:12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the

multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy

youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou

mayest prevail.

ISAIAH 47:13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels.

Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly

prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from {these things} that

shall come upon thee.

ISAIAH 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall

burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of

the flame: {there shall} not {be} a coal to warm at, {nor} fire

to sit before it.

ISAIAH 47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast

laboured, {even} thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander

every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

ISAIAH 48:1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by

the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of

Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of

the God of Israel, {but} not in truth, nor in righteousness.

ISAIAH 48:2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay

themselves upon the God of Israel; the Lord of hosts {is} his

name.

ISAIAH 48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning;

and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did

{them} suddenly, and they came to pass.

ISAIAH 48:4 Because I knew that thou {art} obstinate, and thy

neck {is} an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

ISAIAH 48:5 I have even from the beginning declared {it} to thee;

before it came to pass I shewed {it} thee: lest thou shouldest

say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten

image, hath commanded them.

ISAIAH 48:6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye

declare {it}? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even

hidden things, and thou didst not know them.

ISAIAH 48:7 They are created now, and not from the beginning;

even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou

shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

ISAIAH 48:8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea,

from that time {that} thine ear was not opened: for I knew that

thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a

transgressor from the womb.

ISAIAH 48:9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for

my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

ISAIAH 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I

have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

ISAIAH 48:11 For mine own sake, {even} for mine own sake, will I

do {it}: for how should {my name} be polluted? and I will not

give my glory unto another.

ISAIAH 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I

{am} he; I {am} the first, I also {am} the last.

ISAIAH 48:13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the

earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: {when} I call

unto them, they stand up together.

ISAIAH 48:14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among

them hath declared these {things}? the Lord hath loved him: he

will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm {shall be on} the

Chaldeans.

ISAIAH 48:15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I

have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

ISAIAH 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not

spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was,

there {am} I: and now the Lord God, and his spirit, hath sent me.

ISAIAH 48:17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of

Israel; I {am} the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit,

which leadeth thee by the way {that} thou shouldest go.

ISAIAH 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then

had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves

of the sea:

ISAIAH 48:19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the

offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should

not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

ISAIAH 48:20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans,

with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it {even} to

the end of the earth; say ye, The Lord hath redeemed his servant

Jacob.

ISAIAH 48:21 And they thirsted not {when} he led them through the

deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them:

he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

ISAIAH 48:22 {There is} no peace, saith the Lord, unto the

wicked.

ISAIAH 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people,

from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels

of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

ISAIAH 49:2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the

shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a Polished shaft;

in his quiver hath he hid me;

ISAIAH 49:3 And said unto me, Thou {art} my servant, O Israel, in

whom I will be glorified.

ISAIAH 49:4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my

strength for nought, and in vain: {yet} surely my judgment {is}

with the Lord, and my work with my God.

ISAIAH 49:5 And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb

{to be} his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel

be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord,

and my God shall be my strength.

ISAIAH 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest

be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the

preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the

Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the

earth.

ISAIAH 49:7 Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, {and}

his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation

abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise,

princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful,

{and} the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

ISAIAH 49:8 Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I

heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I

will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people,

to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate

heritages;

ISAIAH 49:9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to

them that {are} in darkness, shew yourselves. They shall feed in

the ways, and their pastures {shall be} in all high places.

ISAIAH 49:10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the

heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall

lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

ISAIAH 49:11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my

highways shall be exalted.

ISAIAH 49:12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these

from the north and from the west; and these from the land of

Sinim.

ISAIAH 49:13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break

forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his

people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

ISAIAH 49:14 But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my

Lord hath forgotten me.

ISAIAH 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she

should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may

forget, yet will I not forget thee.

ISAIAH 49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of {my}

hands; thy walls {are} continually before me.

ISAIAH 49:17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and

they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

ISAIAH 49:18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all

these gather themselves together, {and} come to thee. {As} I

live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them

all, as with an ornament, and bind them {on thee}, as a bride

{doeth}.

ISAIAH 49:19 For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land

of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the

inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

ISAIAH 49:20 The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast

lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place {is} too

strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

ISAIAH 49:21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath

begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am

desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath

brought up these? behold, I was left alone; these, where {had}

they {been}?

ISAIAH 49:22 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up mine

hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and

they shall bring thy sons in {their} arms, and thy daughters

shall be carried upon {their} shoulders.

ISAIAH 49:23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their

queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with

{their} face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet;

and thou shalt know that I {am} the Lord: for they shall not be

ashamed that wait for me.

ISAIAH 49:24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the

lawful captive delivered?

ISAIAH 49:25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the

mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be

delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee,

and I will save thy children.

ISAIAH 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their

own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as

with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord {am}

thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

ISAIAH 50:1 Thus saith the Lord, Where {is} the bill of your

mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my

creditors {is it} to whom I have sold you?  behold, for your

iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions

is your mother put away.

ISAIAH 50:2 Wherefore, when I came, {was there} no man? when I

called, {was there} none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all,

that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at

my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their

fish stinketh, because {there is} no water, and dieth for thirst.

ISAIAH 50:3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make

sackcloth their covering.

ISAIAH 50:4 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned,

that I should know how to speak a word in season to {him that is}

weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to

hear as the learned.

ISAIAH 50:5 The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not

rebellious, neither turned away back.

ISAIAH 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them

that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and

spitting.

ISAIAH 50:7 For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not

be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I

know that I shall not be ashamed.

ISAIAH 50:8 {He is} near that justifieth me; who will contend

with me? let us stand together: who {is} mine adversary? let him

come near to me.

ISAIAH 50:9 Behold, the Lord God will help me; who {is} he {that}

shall condemn me?  lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the

moth shall eat them up.

ISAIAH 50:10 Who {is} among you that feareth the Lord, that

obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh {in} darkness, and

hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay

upon his God.

ISAIAH 50:11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass

{yourselves} about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire,

and in the sparks {that} ye have kindled. This shall ye have of

mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

ISAIAH 51:1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye

that seek the Lord: look unto the rock {whence} ye are hewn, and

to the hole of the pit {whence} ye are digged.

ISAIAH 51:2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah {that}

bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased

him.

ISAIAH 51:3 For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all

her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and

her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be

found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

ISAIAH 51:4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O

my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my

judgment to rest for a light of the people.

ISAIAH 51:5 My righteousness {is} near; my salvation is gone

forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait

upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

ISAIAH 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the

earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and

the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell

therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for

ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

ISAIAH 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the

people in whose heart {is} my law; fear ye not the reproach of

men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

ISAIAH 51:8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and

the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be

for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

ISAIAH 51:9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord;

awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. {Art}

thou not it that hath cut Rahab, {and} wounded the dragon?

ISAIAH 51:10 {Art} thou not it which hath dried the sea, the

waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a

way for the ransomed to pass over?

ISAIAH 51:11 Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and

come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy {shall be} upon

their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; {and} sorrow and

mourning shall flee away.

ISAIAH 51:12 {I}, even I, {am} he that comforteth you: who {art}

thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man {that} shall die,

and of the son of man {which} shall be made {as} grass;

ISAIAH 51:13 And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath

stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the

earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury

of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where {is}

the fury of the oppressor?

ISAIAH 51:14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed,

and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should

fail.

ISAIAH 51:15 But I {am} the Lord thy God, that divided the sea,

whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts {is} his name.

ISAIAH 51:16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have

covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the

heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion,

Thou {art} my people.

ISAIAH 51:17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast

drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury; thou hast

drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, {and} wrung {them}

out.

ISAIAH 51:18 {There is} none to guide her among all the sons

{whom} she hath brought forth; neither {is there any} that taketh

her by the hand of all the sons {that} she hath brought up.

ISAIAH 51:19 These two {things} are come unto thee; who shall be

sorry for thee?  desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and

the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?

ISAIAH 51:20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all

the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury

of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.

ISAIAH 51:21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and

drunken, but not with wine:

ISAIAH 51:22 Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God {that}

pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of

thine hand the cup of trembling, {even} the dregs of the cup of

my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

ISAIAH 51:23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict

thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over:

and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to

them that went over.

ISAIAH 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy

beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth

there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the

unclean.

ISAIAH 52:2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, {and} sit down, O

Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive

daughter of Zion.

ISAIAH 52:3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for

nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

ISAIAH 52:4 For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down

aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed

them without cause.

ISAIAH 52:5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that

my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make

them to howl, saith the Lord; and my name continually every day

{is} blasphemed.

ISAIAH 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore

{they shall know} in that day that I {am} he that doth speak:

behold, {it is} I.

ISAIAH 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him

that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth

good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto

Zion, Thy God reigneth!

ISAIAH 52:8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice

together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the

Lord shall bring again Zion.

ISAIAH 52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places

of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath

redeemed Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 52:10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of

all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the

salvation of our God.

ISAIAH 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch

no unclean {thing}; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean,

that bear the vessels of the Lord.

ISAIAH 52:12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by

flight: for the Lord will go before you; and God of Israel {will

be} your rereward.

ISAIAH 52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be

exalted and extolled, and be very high.

ISAIAH 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so

marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

ISAIAH 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall

shut their mouths at him: for {that} which had not been told them

shall they see; and {that} which they had not heard shall they

consider.

ISAIAH 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm

of the Lord revealed?

ISAIAH 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,

and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor

comeliness; and when we shall see him, {there is} no beauty that

we should desire him.

ISAIAH 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows,

and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were {our} faces from

him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

ISAIAH 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our

sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and

afflicted.

ISAIAH 53:5 But he {was} wounded for our transgressions, {he was}

bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace {was}

upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

ISAIAH 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned

every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the

iniquity of us all.

ISAIAH 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened

not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a

sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

ISAIAH 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who

shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land

of the living: for the transgression of my people was he

stricken.

ISAIAH 53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the

rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither {was

any} deceit in his mouth.

ISAIAH 53:10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put

{him} to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for

sin, he shall see {his} seed, he shall prolong {his} days, and

the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

ISAIAH 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, {and} shall

be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify

many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

ISAIAH 53:12 Therefore will I divide him {a portion} with the

great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he

hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the

transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession

for the transgressors.

ISAIAH 54:1 Sing, O barren, thou {that} didst not bear; break

forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou {that} didst not travail

with child: for more {are} the children of the desolate than the

children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch

forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy

cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

ISAIAH 54:3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on

the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the

desolate cities to be inhabited.

ISAIAH 54:4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be

thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou

shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the

reproach of thy widowhood any more.

ISAIAH 54:5 For thy Maker {is} thine husband; the Lord of hosts

{is} his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God

of the whole earth shall he be called.

ISAIAH 54:6 For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and

grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused,

saith thy God.

ISAIAH 54:7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with

great mercies will I gather thee.

ISAIAH 54:8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a

moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee,

saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

ISAIAH 54:9 For this {is as} the waters of Noah unto me: for {as}

I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the

earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor

rebuke thee.

ISAIAH 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be

removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither

shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that

hath mercy on thee.

ISAIAH 54:11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, {and} not

comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and

lay thy foundations with sapphires.

ISAIAH 54:12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates

of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

ISAIAH 54:13 And all thy children {shall be} taught of the Lord;

and great {shall be} the peace of thy children.

ISAIAH 54:14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou

shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from

terror; for it shall not come near thee.

ISAIAH 54:15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, {but} not

by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall

for thy sake.

ISAIAH 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the

coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his

work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

ISAIAH 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;

and every tongue {that} shall rise against thee in judgment thou

shalt condemn. This {is} the heritage of the servants of the

Lord, and their righteousness {is} of me, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,

and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy

wine and milk without money and without price.

ISAIAH 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for {that which is} not

bread? and your labour for {that which} satisfieth not? hearken

diligently unto me, and eat ye {that which is} good, and let your

soul delight itself in fatness.

ISAIAH 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your

soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with

you, {even} the sure mercies of David.

ISAIAH 55:4 Behold, I have given him {for} a witness to the

people, a leader and commander to the people.

ISAIAH 55:5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation {that} thou knowest

not, and nations {that} knew not thee shall run unto thee because

of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath

glorified thee.

ISAIAH 55:6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon

him while he is near:

ISAIAH 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous

man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will

have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly

pardon.

ISAIAH 55:8 For my thoughts {are} not your thoughts, neither

{are} your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 55:9 For {as} the heavens are higher than the earth, so

are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your

thoughts.

ISAIAH 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from

heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and

maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the

sower, and bread to the eater:

ISAIAH 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my

mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish

that which I please, and it shall prosper {in the thing} whereto

I sent it.

ISAIAH 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with

peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you

into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap {their}

hands.

ISAIAH 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and

instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall

be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign {that} shall

not be cut off.

ISAIAH 56:1 Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do

justice: for my salvation {is} near to come, and my righteousness

to be revealed.

ISAIAH 56:2 Blessed {is} the man {that} doeth this, and the son

of man {that} layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from

polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

ISAIAH 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined

himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly

separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold,

I {am} a dry tree.

ISAIAH 56:4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my

sabbaths, and choose {the things} that please me, and take hold

of my covenant;

ISAIAH 56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within

my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters:

I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

ISAIAH 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves

to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to

be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from

polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

ISAIAH 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make

them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and

their sacrifices {shall be} accepted upon mine altar; for mine

house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

ISAIAH 56:8 The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel

saith, Yet will I gather {others} to him, beside those that are

gathered unto him.

ISAIAH 56:9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, {yea},

all ye beasts in the forest.

ISAIAH 56:10 His watchmen {are} blind: they are all ignorant,

they {are} all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down,

loving to slumber.

ISAIAH 56:11 Yea, {they are} greedy dogs {which} can never have

enough, and they {are} shepherds {that} cannot understand: they

all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his

quarter.

ISAIAH 56:12 Come ye, {say they}, I will fetch wine, and we will

fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this

day, and {much} more abundant.

ISAIAH 57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth {it} to

heart: and merciful men {are} taken away, none considering that

the righteous is taken away from the evil {to come}.

ISAIAH 57:2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their

beds, {each one} walking {in} his uprightness.

ISAIAH 57:3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the

seed of the adulterer and the whore.

ISAIAH 57:4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom

make ye a wide mouth, {and} draw out the tongue? {are} ye not

children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.

ISAIAH 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green

tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of

rocks?

ISAIAH 57:6 Among the smooth {stones} of the stream {is} thy

portion; they, they {are} thy lot: even to them hast thou poured

a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I

receive comfort in these?

ISAIAH 57:7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed:

even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

ISAIAH 57:8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up

thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered {thyself to another}

than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made

thee {a covenant} with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou

sawest {it}.

ISAIAH 57:9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst

increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and

didst debase {thyself even} unto hell.

ISAIAH 57:10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; {yet}

saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of

thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.

ISAIAH 57:11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that

thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid {it} to thy

heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me

not?

ISAIAH 57:12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for

they shall not profit thee.

ISAIAH 57:13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee;

but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take {them}:

but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and

shall inherit my holy mountain;

ISAIAH 57:14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the

way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

ISAIAH 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that

inhabiteth eternity, whose name {is} Holy; I dwell in the high

and holy {place}, with him also {that is} of a contrite and

humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive

the heart of the contrite ones.

ISAIAH 57:16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be

always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls

{which} I have made.

ISAIAH 57:17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth,

and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly

in the way of his heart.

ISAIAH 57:18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead

him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

ISAIAH 57:19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to {him

that is} far off, and to {him that is} near, saith the Lord; and

I will heal him.

ISAIAH 57:20 But the wicked {are} like the troubled sea, when it

cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

ISAIAH 57:21 {There is} no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

ISAIAH 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a

trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of

Jacob their sins.

ISAIAH 58:2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways,

as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance

of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take

delight in approaching to God.

ISAIAH 58:3 Wherefore have we fasted, {say they}, and thou seest

not? {wherefore} have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no

knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and

exact all your labours.

ISAIAH 58:4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite

with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as {ye do this}

day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

ISAIAH 58:5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man

to afflict his soul?  {is it} to bow down his head as a bulrush,

and to spread sackcloth and ashes {under him}? wilt thou call

this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?

ISAIAH 58:6 {Is} not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose

the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let

the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

ISAIAH 58:7 {Is it} not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that

thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou

seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not

thyself from thine own flesh?

ISAIAH 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and

thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness

shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy

rereward.

ISAIAH 58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou

shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I {am}. If thou take away from

the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and

speaking vanity;

ISAIAH 58:10 And {if} thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and

satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in

obscurity, and thy darkness {be} as the noonday:

ISAIAH 58:11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and

satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou

shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose

waters fail not.

ISAIAH 58:12 And {they that shall be} of thee shall build the old

waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many

generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the

breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

ISAIAH 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, {from}

doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a

delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him,

not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor

speaking {thine own} words:

ISAIAH 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I

will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and

feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of

the Lord hath spoken {it}.

ISAIAH 59:1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it

cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

ISAIAH 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and

your God, and your sins have hid {his} face from you, that he

will not hear.

ISAIAH 59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your

fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue

hath muttered perverseness.

ISAIAH 59:4 None calleth for justice, nor {any} pleadeth for

truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive

mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

ISAIAH 59:5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's

web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is

crushed breaketh out into a viper.

ISAIAH 59:6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall

they cover themselves with their works: their works {are} works

of iniquity, and the act of violence {is} in their hands.

ISAIAH 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed

innocent blood: their thoughts {are} thoughts of iniquity;

wasting and destruction {are} in their paths.

ISAIAH 59:8 The way of peace they know not; and {there is} no

judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths:

whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

ISAIAH 59:9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth

justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for

brightness, {but} we walk in darkness.

ISAIAH 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope

as if {we had} no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night;

{we are} in desolate places as dead {men}.

ISAIAH 59:11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves:

we look for judgment, but {there is} none; for salvation, {but}

it is far off from us.

ISAIAH 59:12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee,

and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions {are}

with us; and {as for} our iniquities, we know them;

ISAIAH 59:13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and

departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt,

conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

ISAIAH 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice

standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity

cannot enter.

ISAIAH 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he {that} departeth from

evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw {it}, and it

displeased him that {there was} no judgment.

ISAIAH 59:16 And he saw that {there was} no man, and wondered

that {there was} no intercessor: therefore his arm brought

salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

ISAIAH 59:17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an

helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of

vengeance {for} clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.

ISAIAH 59:18 According to {their} deeds, accordingly he will

repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the

islands he will repay recompence.

ISAIAH 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the

west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy

shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up

a standard against him.

ISAIAH 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them

that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 59:21 As for me, this {is} my covenant with them, saith

the Lord; My spirit that {is} upon thee, and my words which I

have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out

of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's

seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

ISAIAH 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of

the Lord is risen upon thee.

ISAIAH 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and

gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee,

and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

ISAIAH 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings

to the brightness of thy rising.

ISAIAH 60:4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they

gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall

come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at {thy} side.

ISAIAH 60:5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine

heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the

sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles

shall come unto thee.

ISAIAH 60:6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the

dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come:

they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the

praises of the Lord.

ISAIAH 60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together

unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they

shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify

the house of my glory.

ISAIAH 60:8 Who {are} these {that} fly as a cloud, and as the

doves to their windows?

ISAIAH 60:9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of

Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and

their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to

the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

ISAIAH 60:10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls,

and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote

thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

ISAIAH 60:11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they

shall not be shut day nor night; that {men} may bring unto thee

the forces of the Gentiles, and {that} their kings {may be}

brought.

ISAIAH 60:12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee

shall perish; yea, {those} nations shall be utterly wasted.

ISAIAH 60:13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir

tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place

of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

ISAIAH 60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come

bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow

themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call

thee; The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

ISAIAH 60:15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that

no man went through {thee}, I will make thee an eternal

excellency, a joy of many generations.

ISAIAH 60:16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and

shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the

Lord {am} thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

ISAIAH 60:17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will

bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will

also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

ISAIAH 60:18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting

nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls

Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

ISAIAH 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither

for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord

shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

ISAIAH 60:20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy

moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting

light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

ISAIAH 60:21 Thy people also {shall be} all righteous: they shall

inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of

my hands, that I may be glorified.

ISAIAH 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small

one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.

ISAIAH 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God {is} upon me; because the

Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he

hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to

the captives, and the opening of the prison to {them that are}

bound;

ISAIAH 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the

day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

ISAIAH 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto

them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment

of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called

trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might

be glorified.

ISAIAH 61:4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise

up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste

cities, the desolations of many generations.

ISAIAH 61:5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and

the sons of the alien {shall be} your plowmen and your

vinedressers.

ISAIAH 61:6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: {men}

shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches

of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

ISAIAH 61:7 For your shame {ye shall have} double; and {for}

confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their

land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto

them.

ISAIAH 61:8 For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for

burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will

make an everlasting covenant with them.

ISAIAH 61:9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and

their offspring among the people: all that see them shall

acknowledge them, that they {are} the seed {which} the Lord hath

blessed.

ISAIAH 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be

joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of

salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as

a bridegroom decketh {himself} with ornaments, and as a bride

adorneth {herself} with her jewels.

ISAIAH 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the

garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so

the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth

before all the nations.

ISAIAH 62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for

Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof

go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp

{that} burneth.

ISAIAH 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all

kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which

the mouth of the Lord shall name.

ISAIAH 62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of

the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

ISAIAH 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall

thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called

Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee,

and thy land shall be married.

ISAIAH 62:5 For {as} a young man marrieth a virgin, {so} shall

thy sons marry thee: and {as} the bridegroom rejoiceth over the

bride, {so} shall thy God rejoice over thee.

ISAIAH 62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,

{which} shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make

mention of the Lord, keep not silence,

ISAIAH 62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he

make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

ISAIAH 62:8 The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm

of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn {to be} meat

for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink

thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

ISAIAH 62:9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and

praise the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall

drink it in the courts of my holiness.

ISAIAH 62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way

of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the

stones; lift up a standard for the people.

ISAIAH 62:11 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the

world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation

cometh; behold, his reward {is} with him, and his work before

him.

ISAIAH 62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The

redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A

city not forsaken.

ISAIAH 63:1 Who {is} this that cometh from Edom, with dyed

garments from Bozrah? this {that is} glorious in his apparel,

travelling in the greatness of his strength?  I that speak in

righteousness, mighty to save.

ISAIAH 63:2 Wherefore {art thou} red in thine apparel, and thy

garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

ISAIAH 63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people

{there was} none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger,

and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled

upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

ISAIAH 63:4 For the day of vengeance {is} in mine heart, and the

year of my redeemed is come.

ISAIAH 63:5 And I looked, and {there was} none to help; and I

wondered that {there was} none to uphold: therefore mine own arm

brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

ISAIAH 63:6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and

make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength

to the earth.

ISAIAH 63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord,

{and} the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord

hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of

Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies,

and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

ISAIAH 63:8 For he said, Surely they {are} my people, children

{that} will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

ISAIAH 63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the

angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he

redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of

old.

ISAIAH 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit:

therefore he was turned to be their enemy, {and} he fought

against them.

ISAIAH 63:11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, {and} his

people, {saying}, Where {is} he that brought them up out of the

sea with the shepherd of his flock? where {is} he that put his

holy Spirit within him?

ISAIAH 63:12 That led {them} by the right hand of Moses with his

glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an

everlasting name?

ISAIAH 63:13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the

wilderness, {that} they should not stumble?

ISAIAH 63:14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of

the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to

make thyself a glorious name.

ISAIAH 63:15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the

habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where {is} thy zeal

and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies

toward me? are they restrained?

ISAIAH 63:16 Doubtless thou {art} our father, though Abraham be

ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord,

{art} our father, our redeemer; thy name {is} from everlasting.

ISAIAH 63:17 O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways,

{and} hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants'

sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

ISAIAH 63:18 The people of thy holiness have possessed {it} but a

little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

ISAIAH 63:19 We are {thine}: thou never barest rule over them;

they were not called by thy name.

ISAIAH 64:1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou

wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy

presence,

ISAIAH 64:2 As {when} the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth

the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries,

{that} the nations may tremble at thy presence!

ISAIAH 64:3 When thou didst terrible things {which} we looked not

for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

ISAIAH 64:4 For since the beginning of the world {men} have not

heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O

God, beside thee, {what} he hath prepared for him that waiteth

for him.

ISAIAH 64:5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh

righteousness, {those that} remember thee in thy ways: behold,

thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and

we shall be saved.

ISAIAH 64:6 But we are all as an unclean {thing}, and all our

righteousnesses {are} as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a

leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

ISAIAH 64:7 And {there is} none that calleth upon thy name, that

stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy

face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

ISAIAH 64:8 But now, O Lord, thou {art} our father; we {are} the

clay, and thou our potter; and we all {are} the work of thy hand.

ISAIAH 64:9 Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember

iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we {are} all thy

people.

ISAIAH 64:10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a

wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

ISAIAH 64:11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers

praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things

are laid waste.

ISAIAH 64:12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these {things}, O

Lord? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

ISAIAH 65:1 I Am sought of {them that} asked not {for me}; I am

found of {them that} sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me,

unto a nation {that} was not called by my name.

ISAIAH 65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a

rebellious people, which walketh in a way {that was} not good,

after their own thoughts;

ISAIAH 65:3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my

face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon

altars of brick;

ISAIAH 65:4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the

monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable

{things is in} their vessels;

ISAIAH 65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for

I am holier than thou. These are} a smoke in my nose, a fire that

burneth all the day.

ISAIAH 65:6 Behold, {it is} written before me: I will not keep

silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

ISAIAH 65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers

together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the

mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I

measure their former work into their bosom.

ISAIAH 65:8 Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the

cluster, and {one} saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing {is} in

it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy

them all.

ISAIAH 65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out

of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall

inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

ISAIAH 65:10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley

of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that

have sought me.

ISAIAH 65:11 But ye {are} they that forsake the Lord, that forget

my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that

furnish the drink offering unto that number.

ISAIAH 65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye

shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye

did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil

before mine eyes, and did choose {that} wherein I delighted not.

ISAIAH 65:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my

servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants

shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall

rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

ISAIAH 65:14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but

ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of

spirit.

ISAIAH 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my

chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants

by another name:

ISAIAH 65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall

bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the

earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former

troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

ISAIAH 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:

and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

ISAIAH 65:18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever {in that} which

I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her

people a joy.

ISAIAH 65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my

people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her,

nor the voice of crying.

ISAIAH 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor

an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die

an hundred years old; but the sinner {being} an hundred years old

shall be accursed.

ISAIAH 65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit {them}; and

they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

ISAIAH 65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they

shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree {are}

the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work

of their hands.

ISAIAH 65:23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for

trouble; for they {are} the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and

their offspring with them.

ISAIAH 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I

will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

ISAIAH 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the

lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust {shall be} the

serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy

mountain, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 66:1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven {is} my throne, and

the earth {is} my footstool: where {is} the house that ye build

unto me? and where {is} the place of my rest?

ISAIAH 66:2 For all those {things} hath mine hand made, and all

those {things} have been, saith the Lord: but to this {man} will

I look, {even} to {him that is} poor and of a contrite spirit,

and trembleth at my word.

ISAIAH 66:3 He that killeth an ox {is as if} he slew a man; he

that sacrificeth a lamb, {as if} he cut off a dog's neck; he that

offereth an oblation, {as if he offered} swine's blood; he that

burneth incense, {as if} he blessed an idol.  Yea, they have

chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their

abominations.

ISAIAH 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring

their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer;

when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine

eyes, and chose {that} in which I delighted not.

ISAIAH 66:5 Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his

word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my

name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear

to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

ISAIAH 66:6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the

temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his

enemies.

ISAIAH 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her

pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

ISAIAH 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such

things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? {or}

shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed,

she brought forth her children.

ISAIAH 66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring

forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut

{the womb}? saith thy God.

ISAIAH 66:10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all

ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for

her:

ISAIAH 66:11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts

of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with

the abundance of her glory.

ISAIAH 66:12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace

to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing

stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon {her} sides,

and be dandled upon {her} knees.

ISAIAH 66:13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort

you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 66:14 And when ye see {this}, your heart shall rejoice,

and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the

Lord shall be known toward his servants, and {his} indignation

toward his enemies.

ISAIAH 66:15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with

his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and

his rebuke with flames of fire.

ISAIAH 66:16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead

with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

ISAIAH 66:17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves

in the gardens behind one {tree} in the midst, eating swine's

flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed

together, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 66:18 For I {know} their works and their thoughts: it

shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they

shall come, and see my glory.

ISAIAH 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send

those that escape of them unto the nations, {to} Tarshish, Pul,

and Lud, that draw the bow, {to} Tubal, and {Javan}, to the isles

afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my

glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

ISAIAH 66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren {for} an

offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in

chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts,

to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of

Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the

Lord.

ISAIAH 66:21 And I will also take of them for priests {and} for

Levites, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I

will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your

seed and your name remain.

ISAIAH 66:23 And it shall come to pass, {that} from one new moon

to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come

to worship before me, saith the Lord.

ISAIAH 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases

of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm

shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they

shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
