And IsaiahH3470 saidH559, TakeH3947 a lumpH1690 of figsH8384. And they tookH3947 and laidH7760 it on the boilH7822, and he recoveredH2421.
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 UzziahH5818 diedH4194 I sawH7200 alsoH853 the LordH136 sittingH3427 upon a throneH3678, highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and his trainH7757 filledH4392+H853 the templeH1964. {his…: or, the skirts thereof}
And one criedH7121 unto another, and saidH559, HolyH6918, holyH6918, holyH6918, is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: the whole earthH776 is fullH4393 of his gloryH3519. {one…: Heb. this cried to this} {the whole…: Heb. his glory is the fulness of the whole earth}
ThatG3704 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 byG1223 EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,
BeholdG2400 myG3450 servantG3816, whomG3739 I have chosenG140; myG3450 belovedG27, inG1519 whomG3739 myG3450 soulG5590 is well pleasedG2106: I will putG5087 myG3450 spiritG4151 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 he shall shewG518 judgmentG2920 to the GentilesG1484.
WasG2258 returningG5290, andG2532 sittingG2521 inG1909 hisG846 chariotG716+G2532 readG314 EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396.
ThenG1161 the SpiritG4151 saidG2036 unto PhilipG5376, Go nearG4334, andG2532 join thyself toG2853 thisG5129 chariotG716.
AndG1161 PhilipG5376 ranG4370 thither to him, and heardG191 himG846 readG314 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268, andG2532 saidG2036, Understandest thouG687+G1065+G1097 whatG3739 thou readestG314?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, HowG1063+G4459 can IG302+G1410, exceptG3362 some manG5100 should guideG3594 meG3165? AndG5037 he desiredG3870 PhilipG5376 that he would come upG305 and sitG2523 withG4862 himG846.
The placeG4042 of the scriptureG1124 whichG3739 he readG314 wasG2258 thisG3778, He was ledG71 asG5613 a sheepG4263 toG1909 the slaughterG4967; andG2532 likeG5613 a lambG286 dumbG880 beforeG1726 hisG846 shearerG2751, soG3779 opened heG455 notG3756 hisG846 mouthG4750:
InG1722 hisG846 humiliationG5014 hisG846 judgmentG2920 was taken awayG142: andG1161 whoG5101 shall declareG1334 hisG846 generationG1074? forG3754 hisG846 lifeG2222 is takenG142 fromG575 the earthG1093.
AndG1161 the eunuchG2135 answeredG611 PhilipG5376, and saidG2036, I prayG1189 theeG4675, ofG4012 whomG5101 speakethG3004 the prophetG4396 thisG5124? ofG4012 himselfG1438, orG2228 ofG4012 someG5100 other manG2087?
ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 beganG756 atG575 the sameG5026 scriptureG1124, and preachedG2097 unto himG846 JesusG2424.
ButG235 they haveG5219 notG3756 allG3956 obeyedG5219 the gospelG2098. ForG1063 EsaiasG2268 saithG3004, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG2257 reportG189? {our report: Gr. the hearing of us?} {report: or, preaching?}
So thenG686 faithG4102 cometh byG1537 hearingG189, andG1161 hearingG189 byG1223 the wordG4487 of GodG2316.
ButG235 I sayG3004, HaveG191 they notG3378 heardG191? Yes verilyG3304, theirG846 soundG5353 wentG1831 intoG1519 allG3956 the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 wordsG4487 untoG1519 the endsG4009 of the worldG3625.
ButG235 I sayG3004, DidG1097 notG3378 IsraelG2474 knowG1097? FirstG4413 MosesG3475 saithG3004, IG1473 will provokeG3863 youG5209 to jealousyG3863 byG1909 them that are noG3756 peopleG1484, and byG1909 a foolishG801 nationG1484 I will angerG3949 youG5209.
ButG1161 EsaiasG2268 is very boldG662, andG2532 saithG3004, I was foundG2147 of them that soughtG2212 meG1691 notG3361; I was madeG1096 manifestG1717 unto them that askedG1905 notG3361 afterG1905 meG1691.
ButG1161 toG4314 IsraelG2474 he saithG3004, AllG3650 day longG2250 I have stretched forthG1600 myG3450 handsG5495 untoG4314 a disobedientG544 andG2532 gainsayingG483 peopleG2992.
The visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, which he sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063.
HearH8085, O heavensH8064, and give earH238, O earthH776: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696, I have nourishedH1431 and brought upH7311 childrenH1121, and they have rebelledH6586 against me.
The oxH7794 knowethH3045 his ownerH7069, and the assH2543 his master'sH1167 cribH18: but IsraelH3478 doth not knowH3045, my peopleH5971 doth not considerH995.
AhH1945 sinfulH2398 nationH1471, a peopleH5971 ladenH3515 with iniquityH5771, a seedH2233 of evildoersH7489, childrenH1121 that are corruptersH7843: they have forsakenH5800+H853 the LORDH3068, they have provokedH5006+H853 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 unto angerH5006, they are gone awayH2114 backwardH268. {laden: Heb. of heaviness} {gone…: Heb. alienated, or, separated}
Why should ye be strickenH5221 any more? ye will revoltH5627 more and moreH3254: the whole headH7218 is sickH2483, and the whole heartH3824 faintH1742. {revolt…: Heb. increase revolt}
From the soleH3709 of the footH7272 even unto the headH7218 there is no soundnessH4974 in it; but woundsH6482, and bruisesH2250, and putrifyingH2961 soresH4347: they have not been closedH2115, neither bound upH2280, neither mollifiedH7401 with ointmentH8081. {ointment: or, oil}
Your countryH776 is desolateH8077, your citiesH5892 are burnedH8313 with fireH784: your landH127, strangersH2114 devourH398 it in your presence, and it is desolateH8077, as overthrownH4114 by strangersH2114. {overthrown…: Heb. the overthrow of}
And the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 is leftH3498 as a cottageH5521 in a vineyardH3754, as a lodgeH4412 in a garden of cucumbersH4750, as a besiegedH5341 cityH5892.
ExceptH3884 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 had leftH3498 unto us a very smallH4592 remnantH8300, we should have beenH1961 as SodomH5467, and we should have been likeH1819 unto GomorrahH6017.
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye rulersH7101 of SodomH5467; give earH238 unto the lawH8451 of our GodH430, ye peopleH5971 of GomorrahH6017.
To whatH4100 purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto me? saithH559 the LORDH3068: I am fullH7646 of the burnt offeringsH5930 of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fed beastsH4806; and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocksH6499, or of lambsH3532, or of he goatsH6260. {he goats: Heb. great he goats}
When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 me, who hath requiredH1245 this at your handH3027, to treadH7429 my courtsH2691? {to appear: Heb. to be seen}
BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblationsH4503; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbathsH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744, I cannot away withH3201; it is iniquityH205, even the solemn meetingH6116. {iniquity: or, grief}
Your new moonsH2320 and your appointed feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hatethH8130: they are a troubleH2960 unto me; I am wearyH3811 to bearH5375 them.
And when ye spread forthH6566 your handsH3709, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. {make…: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
WashH7364 you, make you cleanH2135; put awayH5493 the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 mine eyesH5869; ceaseH2308 to do evilH7489;
LearnH3925 to do wellH3190; seekH1875 judgmentH4941, relieveH833 the oppressedH2541, judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490, pleadH7378 for the widowH490. {relieve: or, righten}
Come nowH3212, and let us reason togetherH3198, saithH559 the LORDH3068: though your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785.
If ye be willingH14 and obedientH8085, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776:
But if ye refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, ye shall be devouredH398 with the swordH2719: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
How is the faithfulH539 cityH7151 become an harlotH2181! it was fullH4392 of judgmentH4941; righteousnessH6664 lodgedH3885 in it; but now murderersH7523.
Thy silverH3701 is become drossH5509, thy wineH5435 mixedH4107 with waterH4325:
Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590: every one lovethH157 giftsH7810, and followethH7291 after rewardsH8021: they judgeH8199 not the fatherlessH3490, neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
Therefore saithH5002 the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the mighty OneH46 of IsraelH3478, AhH1945, I will easeH5162 me of mine adversariesH6862, and avengeH5358 me of mine enemiesH341:
And I will turnH7725 my handH3027 upon thee, and purelyH1253 purge awayH6884 thy drossH5509, and take awayH5493 all thy tinH913: {purely: Heb. according to pureness}
And I will restoreH7725 thy judgesH8199 as at the firstH7223, and thy counsellorsH3289 as at the beginningH8462: afterwardH310 thou shalt be calledH7121, The cityH5892 of righteousnessH6664, the faithfulH539 cityH7151.
ZionH6726 shall be redeemedH6299 with judgmentH4941, and her convertsH7725 with righteousnessH6666. {her…: or, they that return of her}
And the destructionH7667 of the transgressorsH6586 and of the sinnersH2400 shall be togetherH3162, and they that forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068 shall be consumedH3615. {destruction: Heb. breaking}
For they shall be ashamedH954 of the oaksH352 which ye have desiredH2530, and ye shall be confoundedH2659 for the gardensH1593 that ye have chosenH977.
For ye shall be as an oakH424 whose leafH5929 fadethH5034, and as a gardenH1593 that hath no waterH4325.
And the strongH2634 shall be as towH5296, and the makerH6467 of it as a sparkH5213, and they shall bothH8147 burnH1197 togetherH3162, and none shall quenchH3518 them. {maker…: or, and his work}
Now will I singH7891 to my wellbelovedH3039 a songH7892 of my belovedH1730 touching his vineyardH3754. My wellbelovedH3039 hath a vineyardH3754 in a very fruitfulH1121+H8081 hillH7161: {a very…: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.
What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?
And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}
And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it.
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
WoeH1945 unto them that joinH5060 houseH1004 to houseH1004, that layH7126 fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, till there be noH657 placeH4725, that they may be placedH3427 alone in the midstH7130 of the earthH776! {they: Heb. ye}
In mine earsH241 said the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Of a truthH3808 manyH7227 housesH1004 shall be desolateH8047, even greatH1419 and fairH2896, without inhabitantH3427. {In…: or, This is in mine ears, saith the LORD, etc} {Of a…: Heb. If not, etc}
YeaH3588, tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 shall yieldH6213 oneH259 bathH1324, and the seedH2233 of an homerH2563 shall yieldH6213 an ephahH374.
WoeH1945 unto them that rise up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291 strong drinkH7941; that continueH309 until nightH5399, till wineH3196 inflameH1814 them! {inflame: of, pursue}
And the harpH3658, and the violH5035, the tabretH8596, and pipeH2485, and wineH3196, are in their feastsH4960: but they regardH5027 not the workH6467 of the LORDH3068, neither considerH7200 the operationH4639 of his handsH3027.
Therefore my peopleH5971 are gone into captivityH1540, because they have no knowledgeH1847: and their honourableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 dried upH6704 with thirstH6772. {honourable…: Heb. glory are men of famine}
Therefore hellH7585 hath enlargedH7337 herselfH5315, and openedH6473 her mouthH6310 without measureH2706: and their gloryH1926, and their multitudeH1995, and their pompH7588, and he that rejoicethH5938, shall descendH3381 into it.
And the mean manH120 shall be brought downH7817, and the mighty manH376 shall be humbledH8213, and the eyesH5869 of the loftyH1364 shall be humbledH8213:
But the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 that is holyH6918 shall be sanctifiedH6942 in righteousnessH6666. {God…: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy}
Then shall the lambsH3532 feedH7462 after their mannerH1699, and the waste placesH2723 of the fat onesH4220 shall strangersH1481 eatH398.
WoeH1945 unto them that drawH4900 iniquityH5771 with cordsH2256 of vanityH7723, and sinH2403 as it were with a cartH5699 ropeH5688:
That sayH559, Let him make speedH4116, and hastenH2363 his workH4639, that we may seeH7200 it: and let the counselH6098 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 draw nighH7126 and comeH935, that we may knowH3045 it!
WoeH1945 unto them that callH559 evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; that putH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216, and lightH216 for darknessH2822; that putH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966, and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751! {call…: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc}
WoeH1945 unto them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and prudentH995 in their own sightH6440! {in their own sight: Heb. before their face}
WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354 wineH3196, and menH582 of strengthH2428 to mingleH4537 strong drinkH7941:
Which justifyH6663 the wickedH7563 forH6118 rewardH7810, and take awayH5493 the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 from him!
Therefore as the fireH784 devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, and the flameH3956+H3852 consumethH7503 the chaffH2842, so their rootH8328 shall be as rottennessH4716, and their blossomH6525 shall go upH5927 as dustH80: because they have cast awayH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and despisedH5006 the wordH565 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. {fire: Heb. tongue of fire}
Therefore is the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, and he hath stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 against them, and hath smittenH5221 them: and the hillsH2022 did trembleH7264, and their carcasesH5038 were tornH5478 in the midstH7130 of the streetsH2351. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched outH5186 still. {torn: or, as dung}
And he will lift upH5375 an ensignH5251 to the nationsH1471 from farH7350, and will hissH8319 unto them from the endH7097 of the earthH776: and, behold, they shall comeH935 with speedH4120 swiftlyH7031:
None shall be wearyH5889 nor stumbleH3782 among them; none shall slumberH5123 nor sleepH3462; neither shall the girdleH232 of their loinsH2504 be loosedH6605, nor the latchetH8288 of their shoesH5275 be brokenH5423:
Whose arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150, and all their bowsH7198 bentH1869, their horses'H5483 hoofsH6541 shall be countedH2803 like flintH6862, and their wheelsH1534 like a whirlwindH5492:
Their roaringH7581 shall be like a lionH3833, they shall roarH7580+H7580 like young lionsH3715: yea, they shall roarH5098, and lay holdH270 of the preyH2964, and shall carry it away safeH6403, and none shall deliverH5337 it.
And in that dayH3117 they shall roarH5098 against them like the roaringH5100 of the seaH3220: and if one lookH5027 unto the landH776, behold darknessH2822 and sorrowH6862, and the lightH216 is darkenedH2821 in the heavensH6183 thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light…: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 UzziahH5818 diedH4194 I sawH7200 alsoH853 the LordH136 sittingH3427 upon a throneH3678, highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and his trainH7757 filledH4392+H853 the templeH1964. {his…: or, the skirts thereof}
AboveH4605 it stoodH5975 the seraphimsH8314: each oneH259 had sixH8337 wingsH3671; with twainH8147 he coveredH3680 his faceH6440, and with twainH8147 he coveredH3680 his feetH7272, and with twainH8147 he did flyH5774.
And one criedH7121 unto another, and saidH559, HolyH6918, holyH6918, holyH6918, is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: the whole earthH776 is fullH4393 of his gloryH3519. {one…: Heb. this cried to this} {the whole…: Heb. his glory is the fulness of the whole earth}
And the postsH520 of the doorH5592 movedH5128 at the voiceH6963 of him that criedH7121, and the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with smokeH6227. {door: Heb. thresholds}
Then saidH559 I, WoeH188 is me! for I am undoneH1820; because I am a manH376 of uncleanH2931 lipsH8193, and I dwellH3427 in the midstH8432 of a peopleH5971 of uncleanH2931 lipsH8193: for mine eyesH5869 have seenH7200 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {undone: Heb. cut off}
Then flewH5774 oneH259 of the seraphimsH8314 unto me, having a live coalH7531 in his handH3027, which he had takenH3947 with the tongsH4457 from off the altarH4196: {having…: Heb. and in his hand a live coal}
And he laidH5060 it upon my mouthH6310, and saidH559, Lo, this hath touchedH5060 thy lipsH8193; and thine iniquityH5771 is taken awayH5493, and thy sinH2403 purgedH3722. {laid…: Heb. caused it to touch}
Also I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH136, sayingH559, Whom shall I sendH7971, and who will goH3212 for us? Then saidH559 I, Here am I; sendH7971 me. {Here…: Heb. behold me}
And he saidH559, GoH3212, and tellH559 this peopleH5971, HearH8085 ye indeedH8085, but understandH995 not; and seeH7200 ye indeedH7200, but perceiveH3045 not. {indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc}
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
Then saidH559 I, LordH136, how long? And he answeredH559, Until the citiesH5892 be wastedH7582 without inhabitantH3427, and the housesH1004 without manH120, and the landH127 be utterlyH8077 desolateH7582, {utterly…: Heb. desolate with desolation}
And the LORDH3068 have removedH7368 menH120 far awayH7368, and there be a greatH7227 forsakingH5805 in the midstH7130 of the landH776.
But yet in it shall be a tenthH6224, and it shall returnH7725, and shall be eatenH1197: as a teil treeH424, and as an oakH437, whose substanceH4678 is in them, when they castH7995 their leaves: so the holyH6944 seedH2233 shall be the substanceH4678 thereof. {and it…: or, when it is returned, and hath been broused} {substance: or, stock, or, stem}
And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147, the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, went upH5927 toward JerusalemH3389 to warH4421 against it, but couldH3201 not prevailH3898 against it.
And it was toldH5046 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, SyriaH758 is confederateH5117 with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH5128, and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 are movedH5128 withH6440 the windH7307. {is confederate…: Heb. resteth on}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto IsaiahH3470, Go forthH3318 now to meetH7125 AhazH271, thou, and ShearjashubH7610 thy sonH1121, at the endH7097 of the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704; {Shearjashub: that is, The remnant shall return} {highway: or, causeway}
And sayH559 unto him, Take heedH8104, and be quietH8252; fearH3372 not, neither be faintheartedH7401+H3824 for the twoH8147 tailsH2180 of these smokingH6226 firebrandsH181, for the fierceH2750 angerH639 of RezinH7526 with SyriaH758, and of the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. {neither…: Heb. let not thy heart be tender}
Because SyriaH758, EphraimH669, and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, have taken evilH7451 counselH3289 against thee, sayingH559,
Let us go upH5927 against JudahH3063, and vexH6973 it, and let us make a breachH1234 therein for us, and setH4427 a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, even the sonH1121 of TabealH2870: {vex: or, waken}
ThusH3541 saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, It shall not standH6965, neither shall it come to pass.
For the headH7218 of SyriaH758 is DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526; and within threescoreH8346 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 shall EphraimH669 be brokenH2865, that it be not a peopleH5971. {that…: Heb. from a people}
And the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111, and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is Remaliah'sH7425 sonH1121. If ye will not believeH539, surely ye shall not be establishedH539. {If…: or, Do ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable}
Moreover the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 againH3254 unto AhazH271, sayingH559, {Moreover…: Heb. And the LORD added to speak}
AskH7592 thee a signH226 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; askH7592 it either in the depthH6009, or in the heightH1361 aboveH4605. {ask it…: or, make thy petition deep}
But AhazH271 saidH559, I will not askH7592, neither will I temptH5254+H853 the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559, HearH8085 ye now, O houseH1004 of DavidH1732; Is it a small thingH4592 for you to wearyH3811 menH582, but will ye wearyH3811 my GodH430 also?
Therefore the LordH136 himself shall giveH5414 you a signH226; Behold, a virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shall callH7121 his nameH8034 ImmanuelH410+H6005. {shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
ButterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall he eatH398, that he may knowH3045 to refuseH3988 the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896.
For before the childH5288 shall knowH3045 to refuseH3988 the evilH7451, and chooseH977 the goodH2896, the landH127 that thou abhorrestH6973 shall beH6440 forsakenH5800 of bothH8147 her kingsH4428.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH935 upon thee, and upon thy peopleH5971, and upon thy father'sH1 houseH1004, daysH3117 that have not comeH935, from the dayH3117 that EphraimH669 departedH5493 from JudahH3063; even the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 shall hissH8319 for the flyH2070 that is in the uttermost partH7097 of the riversH2975 of EgyptH4714, and for the beeH1682 that is in the landH776 of AssyriaH804.
And they shall comeH935, and shall restH5117 all of them in the desolateH1327 valleysH5158, and in the holesH5357 of the rocksH5553, and upon all thornsH5285, and upon all bushesH5097. {bushes: or, commendable trees}
In the same dayH3117 shall the LordH136 shaveH1548 with a razorH8593 that is hiredH7917, namely, by them beyondH5676 the riverH5104, by the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, the headH7218, and the hairH8181 of the feetH7272: and it shall also consumeH5595 the beardH2206.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a manH376 shall nourishH2421 a youngH1241 cowH5697, and twoH8147 sheepH6629;
And it shall come to pass, for the abundanceH7230 of milkH2461 that they shall giveH6213 he shall eatH398 butterH2529: for butterH2529 and honeyH1706 shall every one eatH398 that is leftH3498 inH7130 the landH776. {the land: Heb. the midst of the land}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that every placeH4725 shall be, where there were a thousandH505 vinesH1612 at a thousandH505 silverlingsH3701, it shall even be for briersH8068 and thornsH7898.
With arrowsH2671 and with bowsH7198 shall men comeH935 thither; because all the landH776 shall become briersH8068 and thornsH7898.
And on all hillsH2022 that shall be diggedH5737 with the mattockH4576, there shall not come thitherH935 the fearH3374 of briersH8068 and thornsH7898: but it shall be for the sending forthH4916 of oxenH7794, and for the treadingH4823 of lesser cattleH7716.
OH1945 AssyrianH804, the rodH7626 of mine angerH639, and the staffH4294 in their handH3027 is mine indignationH2195. {O…: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshur} {and: or, though}
I will sendH7971 him against an hypocriticalH2611 nationH1471, and against the peopleH5971 of my wrathH5678 will I give him a chargeH6680, to takeH7997 the spoilH7998, and to takeH962 the preyH957, and to tread them downH7760+H4823 like the mireH2563 of the streetsH2351. {tread…: Heb. lay them a treading}
Howbeit he meanethH1819 not so, neither doth his heartH3824 thinkH2803 so; but it is in his heartH3824 to destroyH8045 and cut offH3772 nationsH1471 not a fewH4592.
For he saithH559, Are not my princesH8269 altogetherH3162 kingsH4428?
Is not CalnoH3641 as CarchemishH3751? is not HamathH2574 as ArpadH774? is not SamariaH8111 as DamascusH1834?
As my handH3027 hath foundH4672 the kingdomsH4467 of the idolsH457, and whose graven imagesH6456 did excel them of JerusalemH3389 and of SamariaH8111;
Shall I not, as I have doneH6213 unto SamariaH8111 and her idolsH457, so doH6213 to JerusalemH3389 and her idolsH6091?
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the LordH136 hath performedH1214 his whole workH4639 upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 and on JerusalemH3389, I will punishH6485 the fruitH6529 of the stoutH1433 heartH3824 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and the gloryH8597 of his highH7312 looksH5869. {punish: Heb. visit upon} {stout…: Heb. greatness of the heart}
For he saithH559, By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213 it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995: and I have removedH5493 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154 their treasuresH6259+H6264, and I have put downH3381 the inhabitantsH3427 like a valiantH47+H3524 man: {a valiant…: or, many people}
And my handH3027 hath foundH4672 as a nestH7064 the richesH2428 of the peopleH5971: and as one gatherethH622 eggsH1000 that are leftH5800, have I gatheredH622 all the earthH776; and there was none that movedH5074 the wingH3671, or openedH6475 the mouthH6310, or peepedH6850.
Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086. {the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if…: or, that which is not wood}
Therefore shall the LordH113, the LordH136+H3068 of hostsH6635, sendH7971 among his fat onesH4924 leannessH7332; and under his gloryH3519 he shall kindleH3344 a burningH3350 like the burning of a fireH784.
And the lightH216 of IsraelH3478 shall be for a fireH784, and his Holy OneH6918 for a flameH3852: and it shall burnH1197 and devourH398 his thornsH7898 and his briersH8068 in oneH259 dayH3117;
And shall consumeH3615 the gloryH3519 of his forestH3293, and of his fruitful fieldH3759, both soulH5315 and bodyH1320: and they shall be as when a standardbearerH5263 faintethH4549. {both…: Heb. from the soul, and even to the flesh}
And the restH7605 of the treesH6086 of his forestH3293 shall be fewH4557, that a childH5288 may writeH3789 them. {few: Heb. number}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the remnantH7605 of IsraelH3478, and such as are escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, shall no more againH3254 stayH8172 upon him that smoteH5221 them; but shall stayH8172 upon the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, in truthH571.
The remnantH7605 shall returnH7725, even the remnantH7605 of JacobH3290, unto the mightyH1368 GodH410.
For though thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, yet a remnantH7605 of them shall returnH7725: the consumptionH3631 decreedH2782 shall overflowH7857 with righteousnessH6666. {of them: Heb. in, or, among, etc} {with: or, in}
For the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 shall makeH6213 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782, in the midstH7130 of all the landH776.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, O my peopleH5971 that dwellestH3427 in ZionH6726, be not afraidH3372 of the AssyrianH804: he shall smiteH5221 thee with a rodH7626, and shall lift upH5375 his staffH4294 against thee, after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714. {and shall…: or, but he shall lift up his staff for}
For yet a veryH4213 little whileH4592, and the indignationH2195 shall ceaseH3615, and mine angerH639 in their destructionH8399.
And the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall stir upH5782 a scourgeH7752 for him according to the slaughterH4347 of MidianH4080 at the rockH6697 of OrebH6159: and as his rodH4294 was upon the seaH3220, so shall he lift it upH5375 after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that his burdenH5448 shall be taken awayH5493 from off thy shoulderH7926, and his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677, and the yokeH5923 shall be destroyedH2254 becauseH6440 of the anointingH8081. {be taken…: Heb. remove}
He is comeH935 to AiathH5857, he is passedH5674 to MigronH4051; at MichmashH4363 he hath laid upH6485 his carriagesH3627:
They are gone overH5674 the passageH4569: they have taken up their lodgingH4411 at GebaH1387; RamahH7414 is afraidH2729; GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586 is fledH5127.
Lift upH6670 thy voiceH6963, O daughterH1323 ofH1530 GallimH1554: cause it to be heardH7181 unto LaishH3919, O poorH6041 AnathothH6068. {Lift…: Heb. Cry shrill with}
MadmenahH4088 is removedH5074; the inhabitantsH3427 of GebimH1374 gather themselves to fleeH5756.
As yet shall he remainH5975 at NobH5011 that dayH3117: he shall shakeH5130 his handH3027 against the mountH2022 of the daughterH1323+H1004 of ZionH6726, the hillH1389 of JerusalemH3389.
Behold, the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall lopH5586 the boughH6288 with terrorH4637: and the high onesH7311 of statureH6967 shall be hewn downH1438, and the haughtyH1364 shall be humbledH8213.
And he shall cut downH5362 the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293 with ironH1270, and LebanonH3844 shall fallH5307 by a mighty oneH117. {by…: or, mightily}
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
The wolfH2061 also shall dwellH1481 with the lambH3532, and the leopardH5246 shall lie downH7257 with the kidH1423; and the calfH5695 and the young lionH3715 and the fatlingH4806 togetherH3162; and a littleH6996 childH5288 shall leadH5090 them.
And the cowH6510 and the bearH1677 shall feedH7462; their young onesH3206 shall lie downH7257 togetherH3162: and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241.
And the sucking childH3243 shall playH8173 on the holeH2352 of the aspH6620, and the weaned childH1580 shall putH1911 his handH3027 on the cockatrice'H6848 denH3975. {cockatrice: or, adders}
They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022: for the earthH776 shall be fullH4390 of the knowledgeH1844 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORDH3068 shall utterly destroyH2763 the tongueH3956 of the EgyptianH4714 seaH3220; and with his mightyH5868 windH7307 shall he shakeH5130 his handH3027 over the riverH5104, and shall smiteH5221 it in the sevenH7651 streamsH5158, and make men go overH1869 dryshodH5275. {dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highwayH4546 for the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, whichH834 shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804; like as it was to IsraelH3478 in the dayH3117 that he came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And in that dayH3117 thou shalt sayH559, O LORDH3068, I will praiseH3034 thee: though thou wast angryH599 with me, thine angerH639 is turned awayH7725, and thou comfortedstH5162 me.
Behold, GodH410 is my salvationH3444; I will trustH982, and not be afraidH6342: for the LORDH3050 JEHOVAHH3068 is my strengthH5797 and my songH2176; he also is become my salvationH3444.
Therefore with joyH8342 shall ye drawH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellsH4599 of salvationH3444.
And in that dayH3117 shall ye sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068, callH7121 upon his nameH8034, declareH3045 his doingsH5949 among the peopleH5971, make mentionH2142 that his nameH8034 is exaltedH7682. {call…: or, proclaim}
SingH2167 unto the LORDH3068; for he hath doneH6213 excellent thingsH1348: this is knownH3045+H3045 in all the earthH776.
Cry outH6670 and shoutH7442, thou inhabitantH3427 of ZionH6726: for greatH1419 is the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 in the midstH7130 of thee. {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Come nearH7126, ye nationsH1471, to hearH8085; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816: let the earthH776 hearH8085, and all that is thereinH4393; the worldH8398, and all things that come forthH6631 of it. {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For the indignationH7110 of the LORDH3068 is upon all nationsH1471, and his furyH2534 upon all their armiesH6635: he hath utterly destroyedH2763 them, he hath deliveredH5414 them to the slaughterH2874.
Their slainH2491 also shall be cast outH7993, and their stinkH889 shall come upH5927 out of their carcasesH6297, and the mountainsH2022 shall be meltedH4549 with their bloodH1818.
And all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 shall be dissolvedH4743, and the heavensH8064 shall be rolled togetherH1556 as a scrollH5612: and all their hostH6635 shall fall downH5034, as the leafH5929 falleth offH5034 from the vineH1612, and as a fallingH5034 fig from the fig treeH8384.
For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381 upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, it is made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459, and with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352: for the LORDH3068 hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of IdumeaH123.
And the unicornsH7214 shall come downH3381 with them, and the bullocksH6499 with the bullsH47; and their landH776 shall be soakedH7301 with bloodH1818, and their dustH6083 made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459. {unicorns: or, rhinocerots} {soaked: or, drunken}
For it is the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5359, and the yearH8141 of recompencesH7966 for the controversyH7379 of ZionH6726.
And the streamsH5158 thereof shall be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, and the dustH6083 thereof into brimstoneH1614, and the landH776 thereof shall become burningH1197 pitchH2203.
It shall not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 nor dayH3119; the smokeH6227 thereof shall go upH5927 for everH5769: from generationH1755 to generationH1755 it shall lie wasteH2717; none shall pass throughH5674 it for everH5331 and everH5331.
But the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall possessH3423 it; the owlH3244 also and the ravenH6158 shall dwellH7931 in it: and he shall stretch outH5186 upon it the lineH6957 of confusionH8414, and the stonesH68 of emptinessH922. {cormorant: or, pelican}
They shall callH7121 the noblesH2715 thereof to the kingdomH4410, but none shall be there, and all her princesH8269 shall be nothingH657.
And thornsH5518 shall come upH5927 in her palacesH759, nettlesH7057 and bramblesH2336 in the fortressesH4013 thereof: and it shall be an habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, and a courtH2681 for owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
The wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall also meetH6298 with the wild beasts of the islandH338, and the satyrH8163 shall cryH7121 to his fellowH7453; the screech owlH3917 also shall restH7280 there, and findH4672 for herself a place of restH4494. {The wild…desert: Heb. Ziim} {the wild…island: Heb. Ijim} {screech…: or, night monster}
There shall the great owlH7091 make her nestH7077, and layH4422, and hatchH1234, and gatherH1716 under her shadowH6738: there shall the vulturesH1772 also be gatheredH6908, every oneH802 with her mateH7468.
Seek ye outH1875 of the bookH5612 of the LORDH3068, and readH7121: no oneH259 of theseH2007 shall failH5737, noneH802 shall wantH6485 her mateH7468: for my mouthH6310 it hath commandedH6680, and his spiritH7307 it hath gatheredH6908 them.
And he hath castH5307 the lotH1486 for them, and his handH3027 hath dividedH2505 it unto them by lineH6957: they shall possessH3423 it forH5704 everH5769, from generationH1755 to generationH1755 shall they dwellH7931 therein.
The wildernessH4057 and the solitary placeH6723 shall be gladH7797 for them; and the desertH6160 shall rejoiceH1523, and blossomH6524 as the roseH2261.
It shall blossomH6524 abundantlyH6524, and rejoiceH1523 even with joyH1525 and singingH7444: the gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall be givenH5414 unto it, the excellencyH1926 of CarmelH3760 and SharonH8289, they shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, and the excellencyH1926 of our GodH430.
StrengthenH2388 ye the weakH7504 handsH3027, and confirmH553 the feebleH3782 kneesH1290.
SayH559 to them that are of a fearfulH4116 heartH3820, Be strongH2388, fearH3372 not: behold, your GodH430 will comeH935 with vengeanceH5359, even GodH430 with a recompenceH1576; he will comeH935 and saveH3467 you. {fearful: Heb. hasty}
Then the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall be openedH6491, and the earsH241 of the deafH2795 shall be unstoppedH6605.
Then shall the lameH6455 man leapH1801 as an hartH354, and the tongueH3956 of the dumbH483 singH7442: for in the wildernessH4057 shall watersH4325 break outH1234, and streamsH5158 in the desertH6160.
And the parched groundH8273 shall become a poolH98, and the thirsty landH6774 springsH4002 of waterH4325: in the habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, where each layH7258, shall be grassH2682 with reedsH7070 and rushesH1573. {grass…: or, a court for reeds, etc}
And an highwayH4547 shall be there, and a wayH1870, and it shall be calledH7121 The wayH1870 of holinessH6944; the uncleanH2931 shall not pass overH5674 it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring menH1980, though foolsH191, shall not errH8582 therein. {but…: or, for he shall be with them}
No lionH738 shall be there, nor any ravenousH6530 beastH2416 shall go upH5927 thereon, it shall not be foundH4672 there; but the redeemedH1350 shall walkH1980 there:
And the ransomedH6299 of the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725, and comeH935 to ZionH6726 with songsH7440 and everlastingH5769 joyH8057 upon their headsH7218: they shall obtainH5381 joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, and sorrowH3015 and sighingH585 shall flee awayH5127.
In those daysH3117 was HezekiahH2396 sickH2470 unto deathH4191. And IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Set thine houseH1004 in orderH6680: for thou shalt dieH4191, and not liveH2421. {Set…: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house}
Then HezekiahH2396 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 toward the wallH7023, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068,
And saidH559, RememberH2142 now, O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3820, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with great weeping}
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to IsaiahH3470, sayingH559,
GoH1980, and sayH559 to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, I have seenH7200 thy tearsH1832: behold, I will addH3254 unto thy daysH3117 fifteenH2568+H6240 yearsH8141.
And I will deliverH5337 thee and this cityH5892 out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: and I will defendH1598 this cityH5892.
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee from the LORDH3068, that the LORDH3068 will doH6213 this thingH1697 that he hath spokenH1696;
Behold, I will bring againH7725 the shadowH6738 of the degreesH4609, which is gone downH3381 in the sunH8121 dialH4609 of AhazH271, tenH6235 degreesH4609 backwardH322. So the sunH8121 returnedH7725 tenH6235 degreesH4609, by which degreesH4609 it was gone downH3381. {sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun}
The writingH4385 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, when he had been sickH2470, and was recoveredH2421 of his sicknessH2483:
I saidH559 in the cutting offH1824 of my daysH3117, I shall goH3212 to the gatesH8179 of the graveH7585: I am deprivedH6485 of the residueH3499 of my yearsH8141.
I saidH559, I shall not seeH7200 the LORDH3050, even the LORDH3050, in the landH776 of the livingH2416: I shall beholdH5027 manH120 no more with the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH2309.
Mine ageH1755 is departedH5265, and is removedH1540 from me as a shepherd'sH7473 tentH168: I have cut offH7088 like a weaverH707 my lifeH2416: he will cut me offH1214 with pining sicknessH1803: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of me. {with…: or, from the thrum}
I reckonedH7737 till morningH1242, that, as a lionH738, so will he breakH7665 all my bonesH6106: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of me.
Like a craneH5483 or a swallowH5693, so did I chatterH6850: I did mournH1897 as a doveH3123: mine eyesH5869 failH1809 with looking upwardH4791: O LORDH3068, I am oppressedH6234; undertakeH6148 for me. {undertake…: or, ease me}
What shall I sayH1696? he hath both spokenH559 unto me, and himself hath doneH6213 it: I shall go softlyH1718 all my yearsH8141 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.
O LordH136, by these things men liveH2421, and in all these things is the lifeH2416 of my spiritH7307: so wilt thou recoverH2492 me, and make me to liveH2421.
Behold, for peaceH7965 I had great bitternessH4751+H4843: but thou hast in loveH2836 to my soulH5315 delivered it from the pitH7845 of corruptionH1097: for thou hast castH7993 all my sinsH2399 behindH310 thy backH1460. {for peace…: or, on my peace came great bitterness} {thou hast in…: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit}
For the graveH7585 cannot praiseH3034 thee, deathH4194 can not celebrateH1984 thee: they that go downH3381 into the pitH953 cannot hopeH7663 for thy truthH571.
The livingH2416, the livingH2416, he shall praiseH3034 thee, as I do this dayH3117: the fatherH1 to the childrenH1121 shall make knownH3045 thy truthH571.
The LORDH3068 was ready to saveH3467 me: therefore we will sing my songsH5058 to the stringed instrumentsH5059 all the daysH3117 of our lifeH2416 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
For IsaiahH3470 had saidH559, Let them takeH5375 a lumpH1690 of figsH8384, and lay it for a plaisterH4799 upon the boilH7822, and he shall recoverH2421.
HezekiahH2396 also had saidH559, What is the signH226 that I shall go upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068?
At that timeH6256 MerodachbaladanH4757, the sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a presentH4503 to HezekiahH2396: for he had heardH8085 that he had been sickH2470, and was recoveredH2388.
And HezekiahH2396 was gladH8055 of them, and shewedH7200 them the houseH1004 of his precious thingsH5238, the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the spicesH1314, and the preciousH2896 ointmentH8081, and all the houseH1004 of his armourH3627, and all that was foundH4672 in his treasuresH214: there was nothingH1697 in his houseH1004, nor in all his dominionH4475, that HezekiahH2396 shewedH7200 them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments}
Then cameH935 IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, and saidH559 unto him, What saidH559 these menH582? and from whenceH370 cameH935 they unto thee? And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, They are comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776 unto me, even from BabylonH894.
Then saidH559 he, What have they seenH7200 in thine houseH1004? And HezekiahH2396 answeredH559, All that is in mine houseH1004 have they seenH7200: there is nothingH1697 among my treasuresH214 that I have not shewedH7200 them.
Then saidH559 IsaiahH3470 to HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thine houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 until this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Then saidH559 HezekiahH2396 to IsaiahH3470, GoodH2896 is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which thou hast spokenH1696. He saidH559 moreover, For there shall be peaceH7965 and truthH571 in my daysH3117.
Now will I singH7891 to my wellbelovedH3039 a songH7892 of my belovedH1730 touching his vineyardH3754. My wellbelovedH3039 hath a vineyardH3754 in a very fruitfulH1121+H8081 hillH7161: {a very…: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.
What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?
And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}
And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it.
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
WoeH1945 unto them that joinH5060 houseH1004 to houseH1004, that layH7126 fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, till there be noH657 placeH4725, that they may be placedH3427 alone in the midstH7130 of the earthH776! {they: Heb. ye}
In mine earsH241 said the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Of a truthH3808 manyH7227 housesH1004 shall be desolateH8047, even greatH1419 and fairH2896, without inhabitantH3427. {In…: or, This is in mine ears, saith the LORD, etc} {Of a…: Heb. If not, etc}
YeaH3588, tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 shall yieldH6213 oneH259 bathH1324, and the seedH2233 of an homerH2563 shall yieldH6213 an ephahH374.
WoeH1945 unto them that rise up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291 strong drinkH7941; that continueH309 until nightH5399, till wineH3196 inflameH1814 them! {inflame: of, pursue}
And the harpH3658, and the violH5035, the tabretH8596, and pipeH2485, and wineH3196, are in their feastsH4960: but they regardH5027 not the workH6467 of the LORDH3068, neither considerH7200 the operationH4639 of his handsH3027.
Therefore my peopleH5971 are gone into captivityH1540, because they have no knowledgeH1847: and their honourableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 dried upH6704 with thirstH6772. {honourable…: Heb. glory are men of famine}
Therefore hellH7585 hath enlargedH7337 herselfH5315, and openedH6473 her mouthH6310 without measureH2706: and their gloryH1926, and their multitudeH1995, and their pompH7588, and he that rejoicethH5938, shall descendH3381 into it.
And the mean manH120 shall be brought downH7817, and the mighty manH376 shall be humbledH8213, and the eyesH5869 of the loftyH1364 shall be humbledH8213:
But the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 that is holyH6918 shall be sanctifiedH6942 in righteousnessH6666. {God…: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy}
Then shall the lambsH3532 feedH7462 after their mannerH1699, and the waste placesH2723 of the fat onesH4220 shall strangersH1481 eatH398.
WoeH1945 unto them that drawH4900 iniquityH5771 with cordsH2256 of vanityH7723, and sinH2403 as it were with a cartH5699 ropeH5688:
That sayH559, Let him make speedH4116, and hastenH2363 his workH4639, that we may seeH7200 it: and let the counselH6098 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 draw nighH7126 and comeH935, that we may knowH3045 it!
WoeH1945 unto them that callH559 evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; that putH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216, and lightH216 for darknessH2822; that putH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966, and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751! {call…: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc}
WoeH1945 unto them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and prudentH995 in their own sightH6440! {in their own sight: Heb. before their face}
WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354 wineH3196, and menH582 of strengthH2428 to mingleH4537 strong drinkH7941:
Which justifyH6663 the wickedH7563 forH6118 rewardH7810, and take awayH5493 the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 from him!
Therefore as the fireH784 devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, and the flameH3956+H3852 consumethH7503 the chaffH2842, so their rootH8328 shall be as rottennessH4716, and their blossomH6525 shall go upH5927 as dustH80: because they have cast awayH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and despisedH5006 the wordH565 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. {fire: Heb. tongue of fire}
Therefore is the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, and he hath stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 against them, and hath smittenH5221 them: and the hillsH2022 did trembleH7264, and their carcasesH5038 were tornH5478 in the midstH7130 of the streetsH2351. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched outH5186 still. {torn: or, as dung}
And he will lift upH5375 an ensignH5251 to the nationsH1471 from farH7350, and will hissH8319 unto them from the endH7097 of the earthH776: and, behold, they shall comeH935 with speedH4120 swiftlyH7031:
None shall be wearyH5889 nor stumbleH3782 among them; none shall slumberH5123 nor sleepH3462; neither shall the girdleH232 of their loinsH2504 be loosedH6605, nor the latchetH8288 of their shoesH5275 be brokenH5423:
Whose arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150, and all their bowsH7198 bentH1869, their horses'H5483 hoofsH6541 shall be countedH2803 like flintH6862, and their wheelsH1534 like a whirlwindH5492:
Their roaringH7581 shall be like a lionH3833, they shall roarH7580+H7580 like young lionsH3715: yea, they shall roarH5098, and lay holdH270 of the preyH2964, and shall carry it away safeH6403, and none shall deliverH5337 it.
And in that dayH3117 they shall roarH5098 against them like the roaringH5100 of the seaH3220: and if one lookH5027 unto the landH776, behold darknessH2822 and sorrowH6862, and the lightH216 is darkenedH2821 in the heavensH6183 thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light…: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
The wolfH2061 also shall dwellH1481 with the lambH3532, and the leopardH5246 shall lie downH7257 with the kidH1423; and the calfH5695 and the young lionH3715 and the fatlingH4806 togetherH3162; and a littleH6996 childH5288 shall leadH5090 them.
And the cowH6510 and the bearH1677 shall feedH7462; their young onesH3206 shall lie downH7257 togetherH3162: and the lionH738 shall eatH398 strawH8401 like the oxH1241.
And the sucking childH3243 shall playH8173 on the holeH2352 of the aspH6620, and the weaned childH1580 shall putH1911 his handH3027 on the cockatrice'H6848 denH3975. {cockatrice: or, adders}
They shall not hurtH7489 nor destroyH7843 in all my holyH6944 mountainH2022: for the earthH776 shall be fullH4390 of the knowledgeH1844 of the LORDH3068, as the watersH4325 coverH3680 the seaH3220.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the LordH136 shall setH3254 his handH3027 againH3254 the second timeH8145 to recoverH7069 the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, which shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804, and from EgyptH4714, and from PathrosH6624, and from CushH3568, and from ElamH5867, and from ShinarH8152, and from HamathH2574, and from the islandsH339 of the seaH3220.
And he shall set upH5375 an ensignH5251 for the nationsH1471, and shall assembleH622 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, and gather togetherH6908 the dispersedH5310 of JudahH3063 from the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the earthH776. {corners: Heb. wings}
The envyH7068 also of EphraimH669 shall departH5493, and the adversariesH6887 of JudahH3063 shall be cut offH3772: EphraimH669 shall not envyH7065 JudahH3063, and JudahH3063 shall not vexH6887 EphraimH669.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And the LORDH3068 shall utterly destroyH2763 the tongueH3956 of the EgyptianH4714 seaH3220; and with his mightyH5868 windH7307 shall he shakeH5130 his handH3027 over the riverH5104, and shall smiteH5221 it in the sevenH7651 streamsH5158, and make men go overH1869 dryshodH5275. {dryshod: Heb. in shoes}
And there shall be an highwayH4546 for the remnantH7605 of his peopleH5971, whichH834 shall be leftH7604, from AssyriaH804; like as it was to IsraelH3478 in the dayH3117 that he came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
The burdenH4853 of BabylonH894, which IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 did seeH2372.
Lift ye upH5375 a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192 mountainH2022, exaltH7311 the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130 the handH3027, that they may goH935 into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081.
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485 the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. {like…: Heb. the likeness of}
They comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254 the whole landH776.
HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it.
For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984 their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821 in his going forthH3318, and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.
And I will punishH6485 the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673, and will lay lowH8213 the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184.
I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365 than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211.
Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776.
Every one that is foundH4672 shall be thrust throughH1856; and every one that is joinedH5595 unto them shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719.
Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376 before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155, and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901+H7693.
Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it.
Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376; and they shall have no pityH7355 on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 childrenH1121.
And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. {as…: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427, neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167 there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 make their foldH7257 there.
But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257 there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390 of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH7931 there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 there. {wild…: Heb. Ziim} {doleful…: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030 in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900. {the wild…: Heb. Iim} {desolate…: or, palaces}
AndG2532 there wasG1096 warG4171 inG1722 heavenG3772: MichaelG3413 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32 foughtG4170 againstG2596 the dragonG1404; andG2532 the dragonG1404 foughtG4170 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32,
AndG2532 prevailedG2480 notG3756; neitherG3777 wasG2147 theirG846 placeG5117 foundG2147 any moreG2089 inG1722 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 the greatG3173 dragonG1404 was cast outG906, that oldG744 serpentG3789, calledG2564 the DevilG1228, andG2532 SatanG4567, whichG3588 deceivethG4105 the wholeG3650 worldG3625: he was cast outG906 intoG1519 the earthG1093, andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32 were cast outG906 withG3326 himG846.
AndG2532 I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 sayingG3004 inG1722 heavenG3772, NowG737 is comeG1096 salvationG4991, andG2532 strengthG1411, andG2532 the kingdomG932 of ourG2257 GodG2316, andG2532 the powerG1849 of hisG846 ChristG5547: forG3754 the accuserG2723 of ourG2257 brethrenG80 is cast downG2598, whichG3588 accusedG2725 themG846 beforeG1799 ourG2257 GodG2316 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571.
AndG2532 theyG846 overcameG3528 himG846 byG1223 the bloodG129 of the LambG721, andG2532 byG1223 the wordG3056 of theirG846 testimonyG3141; andG2532 they lovedG25 notG3756 theirG846 livesG5590 untoG891 the deathG2288.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 rejoiceG2165, ye heavensG3772, andG2532 ye that dwellG4637 inG1722 themG846. WoeG3759 to the inhabitersG2730 of the earthG1093 andG2532 of the seaG2281! forG3754 the devilG1228 is come downG2597 untoG4314 youG5209, havingG2192 greatG3173 wrathG2372, because he knowethG1492 thatG3754 he hathG2192 but a shortG3641 timeG2540.
The oxH7794 knowethH3045 his ownerH7069, and the assH2543 his master'sH1167 cribH18: but IsraelH3478 doth not knowH3045, my peopleH5971 doth not considerH995.
And I wentH7126 unto the prophetessH5031; and she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 to me, CallH7121 his nameH8034 MahershalalhashbazH4122. {went: Heb. approached}
Behold, I and the childrenH3206 whom the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 me are for signsH226 and for wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH7931 in mountH2022 ZionH6726.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto IsaiahH3470, Go forthH3318 now to meetH7125 AhazH271, thou, and ShearjashubH7610 thy sonH1121, at the endH7097 of the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704; {Shearjashub: that is, The remnant shall return} {highway: or, causeway}
And I wentH7126 unto the prophetessH5031; and she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 to me, CallH7121 his nameH8034 MahershalalhashbazH4122. {went: Heb. approached}
In that dayH3117 shall the branchH6780 of the LORDH3068 be beautifulH6643 and gloriousH3519, and the fruitH6529 of the earthH776 shall be excellentH1347 and comely forH8597 them that are escapedH6413 of IsraelH3478. {beautiful…: Heb. beauty and glory} {them…: Heb. the escaping}
Therefore the LordH136 himself shall giveH5414 you a signH226; Behold, a virginH5959 shall conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121, and shall callH7121 his nameH8034 ImmanuelH410+H6005. {shall call: or, thou, O virgin, shalt call}
Nevertheless the dimnessH4155 shall not be such as was in her vexationH4164, whenH6256 at the firstH7223 he lightly afflictedH7043 the landH776 of ZebulunH2074 and the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and afterwardH314 did more grievously afflictH3513 her by the wayH1870 of the seaH3220, beyondH5676 JordanH3383, in GalileeH1551 of the nationsH1471. {of the nations: or, populous}
And he saidH559, It is a light thingH7043 that thou shouldest be my servantH5650 to raise upH6965 the tribesH7626 of JacobH3290, and to restoreH7725 the preservedH5341+H5336 of IsraelH3478: I will also giveH5414 thee for a lightH216 to the GentilesH1471, that thou mayest be my salvationH3444 unto the endH7097 of the earthH776. {It is…: or, Art thou lighter than that thou shouldest, etc} {preserved: or, desolations}
For every battleH5430 of the warriorH5431 is with confused noiseH7494, and garmentsH8071 rolledH1556 in bloodH1818; but this shall be with burningH8316 and fuelH3980 of fireH784. {For…: or, When the whole battle of the warrior was, etc} {but…: or, and it was, etc} {fuel: Heb. meat}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245 foundationH4143: he that believethH539 shall not make hasteH2363.
Behold my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551; mine electH972, in whom my soulH5315 delightethH7521; I have putH5414 my spiritH7307 upon him: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471.
He shall seeH7200 of the travailH5999 of his soulH5315, and shall be satisfiedH7646: by his knowledgeH1847 shall my righteousH6662 servantH5650 justifyH6663 manyH7227; for he shall bearH5445 their iniquitiesH5771.
Behold my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551; mine electH972, in whom my soulH5315 delightethH7521; I have putH5414 my spiritH7307 upon him: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471.
He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not. {we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
He was oppressedH5065, and he was afflictedH6031, yet he openedH6605 not his mouthH6310: he is broughtH2986 as a lambH7716 to the slaughterH2874, and as a sheepH7353 beforeH6440 her shearersH1494 is dumbH481, so he openethH6605 not his mouthH6310.
In all their afflictionH6869 he was afflictedH6862, and the angelH4397 of his presenceH6440 savedH3467 them: in his loveH160 and in his pityH2551 he redeemedH1350 them; and he bareH5190 them, and carriedH5375 them all the daysH3117 of oldH5769.
WoeH1945 to thee that spoilestH7703, and thou wast not spoiledH7703; and dealest treacherouslyH898, and they dealt not treacherouslyH898 with thee! when thou shalt ceaseH8552 to spoilH7703, thou shalt be spoiledH7703; and when thou shalt make an endH5239 to deal treacherouslyH898, they shall deal treacherouslyH898 with thee.
O LORDH3068, be graciousH2603 unto us; we have waitedH6960 for thee: be thou their armH2220 every morningH1242, our salvationH3444 also in the timeH6256 of troubleH6869.
At the noiseH6963 of the tumultH1995 the peopleH5971 fledH5074; at the lifting upH7427 of thyself the nationsH1471 were scatteredH5310.
And your spoilH7998 shall be gatheredH622 like the gatheringH625 of the caterpillerH2625: as the running to and froH4944 of locustsH1357 shall he runH8264 upon them.
The LORDH3068 is exaltedH7682; for he dwellethH7931 on highH4791: he hath filledH4390 ZionH6726 with judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666.
And wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH1847 shall be the stabilityH530 of thy timesH6256, and strengthH2633 of salvationH3444: the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is his treasureH214. {salvation: Heb. salvations}
Behold, their valiant onesH691 shall cryH6817 withoutH2351: the ambassadorsH4397 of peaceH7965 shall weepH1058 bitterlyH4751. {valiant…: or, messengers}
The highwaysH4546 lie wasteH8074, the wayfaring manH5674+H734 ceasethH7673: he hath brokenH6565 the covenantH1285, he hath despisedH3988 the citiesH5892, he regardethH2803 no manH582.
The earthH776 mournethH56 and languishethH535: LebanonH3844 is ashamedH2659 and hewn downH7060: SharonH8289 is like a wildernessH6160; and BashanH1316 and CarmelH3760 shake offH5287 their fruits. {hewn…: or, withered away}
Now will I riseH6965, saithH559 the LORDH3068; now will I be exaltedH7426; now will I lift upH5375 myself.
Ye shall conceiveH2029 chaffH2842, ye shall bring forthH3205 stubbleH7179: your breathH7307, as fireH784, shall devourH398 you.
And the peopleH5971 shall be as the burningsH4955 of limeH7875: as thornsH6975 cut upH3683 shall they be burnedH3341 in the fireH784.
HearH8085, ye that are far offH7350, what I have doneH6213; and, ye that are nearH7138, acknowledgeH3045 my mightH1369.
The sinnersH2400 in ZionH6726 are afraidH6342; fearfulnessH7461 hath surprisedH270 the hypocritesH2611. Who among us shall dwellH1481 with the devouringH398 fireH784? who among us shall dwellH1481 with everlastingH5769 burningsH4168?
He that walkethH1980 righteouslyH6666, and speakethH1696 uprightlyH4339; he that despisethH3988 the gainH1215 of oppressionsH4642, that shakethH5287 his handsH3709 from holdingH8551 of bribesH7810, that stoppethH331 his earsH241 from hearingH8085 of bloodH1818, and shuttethH6105 his eyesH5869 from seeingH7200 evilH7451; {righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses} {uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses} {oppressions: or, deceits} {blood: Heb. bloods}
He shall dwellH7931 on highH4791: his place of defenceH4869 shall be the munitionsH4679 of rocksH5553: breadH3899 shall be givenH5414 him; his watersH4325 shall be sureH539. {high: Heb. heights, or, high places}
Thine eyesH5869 shall seeH2372 the kingH4428 in his beautyH3308: they shall beholdH7200 the landH776 that is very far offH4801. {that…: Heb. of far distances}
Thine heartH3820 shall meditateH1897 terrorH367. Where is the scribeH5608? where is the receiverH8254? where is he that countedH5608 the towersH4026? {receiver: Heb. weigher?}
Thou shalt not seeH7200 a fierceH3267 peopleH5971, a peopleH5971 of a deeperH6012 speechH8193 than thou canst perceiveH8085; of a stammeringH3932 tongueH3956, that thou canst not understandH998. {stammering: or, ridiculous}
LookH2372 upon ZionH6726, the cityH7151 of our solemnitiesH4150: thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 JerusalemH3389 a quietH7600 habitationH5116, a tabernacleH168 that shall not be taken downH6813; not one of the stakesH3489 thereof shall everH5331 be removedH5265, neither shall any of the cordsH2256 thereof be brokenH5423.
But there the gloriousH117 LORDH3068 will be unto us a placeH4725 of broadH7342+H3027 riversH5104 and streamsH2975; wherein shall goH3212 noH1077 galleyH590 with oarsH7885, neither shall gallantH117 shipH6716 passH5674 thereby. {of…: Heb. broad of spaces, or, hands}
For the LORDH3068 is our judgeH8199, the LORDH3068 is our lawgiverH2710, the LORDH3068 is our kingH4428; he will saveH3467 us. {lawgiver: Heb. statutemaker}
Thy tacklingsH2256 are loosedH5203; they could not wellH3653 strengthenH2388 their mastH8650, they could not spreadH6566 the sailH5251: then is the preyH5706 of a greatH4766 spoilH7998 dividedH2505; the lameH6455 takeH962 the preyH957. {Thy…: or, They have forsaken thy tacklings}
And the inhabitantH7934 shall not sayH559, I am sickH2470: the peopleH5971 that dwellH3427 therein shall be forgivenH5375 their iniquityH5771.
So shall he sprinkleH5137 manyH7227 nationsH1471; the kingsH4428 shall shutH7092 their mouthsH6310 at him: for that which had not been toldH5608 them shall they seeH7200; and that which they had not heardH8085 shall they considerH995.
ButG235 asG2531 it is writtenG1125, To whomG3739 heG846 wasG312 notG3756 spokenG312 ofG4012, they shall seeG3700: andG2532 theyG3739 that haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 shall understandG4920.
He was oppressedH5065, and he was afflictedH6031, yet he openedH6605 not his mouthH6310: he is broughtH2986 as a lambH7716 to the slaughterH2874, and as a sheepH7353 beforeH6440 her shearersH1494 is dumbH481, so he openethH6605 not his mouthH6310.
He was takenH3947 from prisonH6115 and from judgmentH4941: and who shall declareH7878 his generationH1755? for he was cut offH1504 out of the landH776 of the livingH2416: for the transgressionH6588 of my peopleH5971 was he strickenH5061. {from prison…: or, he was taken away by distress and judgment: but, etc} {was he…: Heb. was the stroke upon him}
The placeG4042 of the scriptureG1124 whichG3739 he readG314 wasG2258 thisG3778, He was ledG71 asG5613 a sheepG4263 toG1909 the slaughterG4967; andG2532 likeG5613 a lambG286 dumbG880 beforeG1726 hisG846 shearerG2751, soG3779 opened heG455 notG3756 hisG846 mouthG4750:
InG1722 hisG846 humiliationG5014 hisG846 judgmentG2920 was taken awayG142: andG1161 whoG5101 shall declareG1334 hisG846 generationG1074? forG3754 hisG846 lifeG2222 is takenG142 fromG575 the earthG1093.
Who hath believedH539 our reportH8052? and to whom is the armH2220 of the LORDH3068 revealedH1540? {report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?}
ThatG2443 the sayingG3056 of EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396 might be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 he spakeG2036, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG2257 reportG189? andG2532 to whomG5101 hath the armG1023 of the LordG2962 been revealedG601?
And he madeH5414 his graveH6913 with the wickedH7563, and with the richH6223 in his deathH4194; because he had doneH6213 no violenceH2555, neither was any deceitH4820 in his mouthH6310. {death: Heb. deaths}
WhoG3739 didG4160 noG3756 sinG266, neitherG3761 was guileG1388 foundG2147 inG1722 hisG846 mouthG4750:
SurelyH403 he hath borneH5375 our griefsH2483, and carriedH5445 our sorrowsH4341: yet we did esteemH2803 him strickenH5060, smittenH5221 of GodH430, and afflictedH6031.
ThatG3704 it might be fulfilledG4137 which was spokenG4483 byG1223 EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, HimselfG846 tookG2983 ourG2257 infirmitiesG769, andG2532 bareG941 our sicknessesG3554.
Therefore will I divideH2505 him a portion with the greatH7227, and he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998 with the strongH6099; because he hath poured outH6168 his soulH5315 unto deathH4194: and he was numberedH4487 with the transgressorsH6586; and he bareH5375 the sinH2399 of manyH7227, and made intercessionH6293 for the transgressorsH6586.
AndG2532 the scriptureG1124 was fulfilledG4137, whichG3588 saithG3004, AndG2532 he was numberedG3049 withG3326 the transgressorsG459.
But he was woundedH2490 for our transgressionsH6588, he was bruisedH1792 for our iniquitiesH5771: the chastisementH4148 of our peaceH7965 was upon him; and with his stripesH2250 we are healedH7495. {wounded: or, tormented} {stripes: Heb. bruise}
WhoG3739 his own selfG846 bareG399 ourG2257 sinsG266 inG1722 his ownG846 bodyG4983 onG1909 the treeG3586, thatG2443 weG2198, being deadG581 to sinsG266, should liveG2198 unto righteousnessG1343: byG3739 whoseG846 stripesG3468 ye were healedG2390. {on: or, to}
