[Isaiah 1]
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.
[PD64 R231B R295 R349 R445 R479B R530:4* R851B R1405 R1418:2 R1898 R2261 R2372:5 R2379:2 R3300 R3451:3 R3451C R3642 R4549 R5630 R5763 Z9308 ]
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.
[A318 R1900:4 R3451:3 R3451:6 R3452:1 ]
1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib:
[but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
[R1900:2 R2036 R2036:2 R2146 R2146:1* R3312:3 R3312:6 R3312B R3452:2 R3786:4 R4042B R4044:1 R4044:2 R4044:4 R4044:5 ]
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.
[R187 ]
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.
[E252 R3452:2 R3963:1 R5977B ]
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.
[E252 R3452:2 R5977:6 ]
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.
[R3452:3 ]
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.
[D23 D558 R1648:3 R3452:3 ]
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.
[B215 R3452:5 ]
1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear
unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
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.
1:12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this
at your hand, to tread my courts?
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.
[R5695 R5696:4 ]
1:14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth:
they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [them].
[R5696:4 ]
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.
[R2023B R2024:1 ]
1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your
doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
[R3452:6 R3453:1 R4839 R4840:4 ]
1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed,
judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
[R3453:1 R3453:2 R4840:4 ]
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.

1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of
the land:
[A67 S0618 R1357 R1358:4 R1648 R1649:5 R3453:6 R5211 ]
1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with
the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
[R3454:1 ]
1:21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full
of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
1:22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
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.
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:
1:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away
thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
[R1943 R1944:3 ]
1:26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy
counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be
called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
[A294 R237 R238:2* R3102 R3102:5 R3216 R3216:5 R4199 R4201:4 R4320:5 R5645 R5645 R5645:6 R5646:5 ]
1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts
with righteousness.
1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the
sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD
shall be consumed.
[R1611 R3083 R3083:2 R3083:3 ]
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.
1:30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a
garden that hath no water.
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]
2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah
and Jerusalem.
[R2372:5 R2506 R3357 ]
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.

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.

2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light
of the LORD.
[A20 A300 R810 ]
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.
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:

2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work
of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his
majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
2:20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols
[D148 D149 R2506:6 ]

moles and to the bats;

3:4 And I will give children [to be] their princes, and babes

proudly against the ancient, and the base against the
honourable.
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,

their tongue and their doings [are] against the LORD, to

3:13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the
people.

his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the
vineyard; the spoil of the poor [is] in your houses.
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.
3:16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion

eyes, walking and mincing [as] they go, and making a tinkling
with their feet:
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.
3:18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of

cauls, and [their] round tires like the moon,

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.

grapes.

[R528C R529:6* R2372:4 R4787:2 ]
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.
[B99 E48 R530:4* R2371:2 R2372:4 R4787:2 R4787:2 ]
6:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that
cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
[R528C R4787:2 R4787:3 ]
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.
[E48 R528C R2371:1 R2371:3 R2372:4 R4787:5 ]
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:
[R4787:6 R4787:6 ]
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.
[R530:4* R2371:4 R2372:4 R4787:5 R4787:6 ]
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.
[E48 R2370 R2371:5 R4787:6 R4787:6 ]

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.
[R530:5* ]
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,
[R4787:6 ]
6:12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and [there be] a
great forsaking in the midst of the land.
[R2371:6 ]
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.
[R758 R4788:1 ]
[Isaiah 7]
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.
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.
[E174 ]
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;
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.
7:5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have
taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
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:
7:7 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither
shall it come to pass.
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.
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.
7:10 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
7:11 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in
the depth, or in the height above.
7:12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the
LORD.
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?
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.

7:15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to
refuse the evil, and choose the good.
[R444:1* ]
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.
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.
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.
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.
7:20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor 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.
7:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man
shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
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.
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.
7:24 With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither;
because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
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]
8:1 Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll,
and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
[R3296 ]
8:2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah
the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
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.
[R436:2 R436:4 R436:4 ]
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.
8:5 The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,
8:6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah
that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
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:
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.
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.

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

people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear,

10:30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be
heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
10:31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather
themselves to flee.
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.
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.

iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and
might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

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.

faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

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

no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people,
and flee every one into his own land.
13:15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and
every one that is joined [unto them] shall fall by the sword.
13:16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before
their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives
ravished.
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.

their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall
dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

desolate houses, and dragons in [their] pleasant palaces: and
her time [is] near to come, and her days shall not be

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.

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.
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.

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

14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, [and] the
sceptre of the rulers.
14:6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual
stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted,

Lebanon, [saying], Since thou art laid down, no feller is come

the pit.

consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to
tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his
prisoners?

14:18 All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie
in glory, every one in his own house.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[R2497 R2498:3 ]
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.

thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, [so]
shall it stand:
[A66 R163C R417 R419:3 R664 R2688 R165:5 ]
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.
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.
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?

14:28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
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.
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.
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.
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]
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
15:6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay
is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
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.
15:8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the
howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto
Beerelim.
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]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[A92 B255 ]
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.
16:7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall
howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely
[they are] stricken.
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.
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.
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.
16:11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab,
and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.
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.
16:13 This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning
Moab since that time.
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]
17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away
from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
17:2 The cities of Aroer [are] forsaken: they shall be for
flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make [them]
afraid.
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.
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.
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.
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.
17:7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes
shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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!
[A318 ]
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.
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]
18:1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which [is] beyond
the rivers of Ethiopia:
[R3404 R3404:3 R3405:1 R3405:2 ]
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

whose land the rivers have spoiled!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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]
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.
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.
[C315 F458 ]
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.
[R1642:6 R2172:1 Q804:3 ]
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.
19:5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river
shall be wasted and dried up.
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.
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].
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.
19:9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that
weave networks, shall be confounded.
19:10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all
that make sluices [and] ponds for fish.

19:11 Surely the princes of Zoan [are] fools, the counsel of
the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye
unto Pharaoh, I [am] the son of the wise, the son of ancient
kings?
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.
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.
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.
19:15 Neither shall there be [any] work for Egypt, which the
head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the
Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the
Assyrians.

with Assyria, [even] a blessing in the midst of the land:

Israel mine inheritance.

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.
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;
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.
20:5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their
expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
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?

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.
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].
21:4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of
my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
21:5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink:
arise, ye princes, [and] anoint the shield.

21:6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman,

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:
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:
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.

21:13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall
ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
21:14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to
him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that
fled.
21:15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,
and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
21:16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year,

men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD
God of Israel hath spoken [it].

22:1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee
now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
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.
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.
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.
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.
22:6 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men [and]
horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
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.
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.
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.
22:10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the
houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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],
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?
22:17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty
captivity, and will surely cover thee.
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.
22:19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy
state shall he pull thee down.
22:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call
my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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]
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.
23:2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the
merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
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.
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.
23:5 As at the report concerning Egypt, [so] shall they be
sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
23:6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the
isle.
23:7 [Is] this your joyous [city], whose antiquity [is] of
ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
23:8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning
[city], whose merchants [are] princes, whose traffickers [are]
the honourable of the earth?
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.
23:10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of
Tarshish: [there is] no more strength.
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.
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.
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.
23:14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid
waste.
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.
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.
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.
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.

24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it
waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
inhabitants thereof.

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.
24:3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled:
for the LORD hath spoken this word.
24:4 The earth mourneth [and] fadeth away, the world
languisheth [and] fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth
do languish.
24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance,
broken the everlasting covenant.
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.

merryhearted do sigh.

rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

with destruction.

majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

treacherously.

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.

dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and

heat in a dry place; [even] the heat with the shadow of a

my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,

30:4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came
to Hanes.
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.
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

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

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.
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

mighty One of Israel.

tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with

horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in
horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto

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.
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.

shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and

Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver [it; and] passing
over he will preserve it.

[Isaiah 36]
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.
[R4832:6 ]
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.
[R2382:4 ]
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
[R4832:6 ]
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?
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.
[R2381:2 ]
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.
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?
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.
36:14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for
he shall not be able to deliver you.
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.
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;
[R4672 ]
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.
[R2381:2 ]
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?
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?
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?
36:21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word:
for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
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]
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.
[R1358:4 ]
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.
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.
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.
37:5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to 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.
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.
[R2382:2 ]
37:8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria
warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed
from Lachish.
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,
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.
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?
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?
37:13 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad,
and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
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.
[R1357 R1358:6 R4832 ]
37:15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
[R1358:5 R4833:1 ]
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.
[T124 R528C R529:6* R4832:3 Z0801 ]
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.
[R4832:6 R4833:1 R4833:1 ]
37:18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste
all the nations, and their countries.
[R4832:3 R4832:6 ]
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.
[R4833:1 ]
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.
[R1358:3 R4833:1 ]
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:
[R2381:3 ]
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.
[R2381:5 ]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
37:28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming
in, and thy rage against me.
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.
[R2381:5 ]
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.
[R2382:4 ]
37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah
shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
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.
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.
[R1358:6 ]
37:34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return,
and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
37:35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own
sake, and for my servant David's sake.
[R1358:4 R4833:4 ]
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.
[R286:3 R286B R758 R2382:2 R4833:2 R4833:4 ]
37:37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and
returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
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]
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.
[R1119 R2382:5 R2382:6 R3574 R3574:2* R3588 R3588:1 R3588:2 R3588:3 ]
38:2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and
prayed unto the LORD,
[R3588:3 R3588:5 ]
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.
[R3588:3 R3588:4 ]
38:4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
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.
[R3574 R3588:5 ]
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.
38:7 And this [shall be] a sign unto thee from the LORD, that
the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
[R2383:1 R3574 R3588:6 R3589:1 ]
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.
[R2383:1 R3574:3* R3589:2 ]
38:9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been
sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
[R2381 R2382:6 R3589:4 ]
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.
[E370 E371 R828 R1000 R1498 R2597 R2600:2 R2759B R4553 ]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[R3589:4 ]
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.
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.
[E371 R1880 R3588:4 ]
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.

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.
[R3589:5 ]
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.
38:21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and
lay [it] for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
[R3588:4 ]
38:22 Hezekiah also had said, What [is] the sign that I shall
go up to the house of the LORD?
[R3589:1 ]
[Isaiah 39]
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.
[R3574:2* ]
39:2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed 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
showed them not.
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.
[R2381 ]
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 showed
them.
39:5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD
of hosts:
[R2383:5 ]
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.
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.
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.

house.

residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock

aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not
a lie in my right hand?

servant: I have formed thee; thou [art] my servant: O Israel,

[S0711 R1351:1* ]
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.
[F176 ]
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:
[R1089:6* R1089B R1089B ]
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.
45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and
create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].

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.
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?
45:10 Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What
begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
[R612 ]
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.
[A190 A191 R612:5 ]
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.
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.
[B67 R871:5 ]
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.
45:15 Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of
Israel, the Saviour.
[R5209 R5210:5 ]
45:16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of
them: they shall go to confusion together [that are] makers of
idols.
45:17 [But] Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an
everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded
world without end.
[A67 E402 ]
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.

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.
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.
[R296 R296:2 ]
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.

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.
45:25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified,
and shall glory.
[Isaiah 46]
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].
46:2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not
deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
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:
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].
46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make [me] equal, and
compare me, that we may be like?
46:6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the
balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they
fall down, yea, they worship.
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.
46:8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring [it] again
to mind, O ye transgressors.
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,
[R1832 R5209 R5284 ]
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:
[A66 EGPP R630:5* R630B R1834:6 R2536 R5211:1 ]
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.
[R3015 ]
46:12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far from
righteousness:
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]
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.
[D42 ]
47:2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks,
make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
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.
47:4 [As for] our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [is] his name,
the Holy One of Israel.
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.
47:6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine
inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst show
them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy
yoke.
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.
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:
[D43 ]
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.
[D43 Z9611 ]
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.

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.

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

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.

flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to
sit before it.

laboured, [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall
wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

[Isaiah 48]
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.
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.
48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning;
and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did
[them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
48:4 Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck
[is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
48:5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee;
before it came to pass I showed [it] thee: lest thou shouldest
say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my
molten image, hath commanded them.
48:6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare
[it]? I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden
things, and thou didst not know them.
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.
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.
[R5286:5 ]
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.
48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I
have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
[R2971 R2971:2 ]
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.

48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am]
he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.
[R2126:4 ]
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.
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.
48:15 I, [even] I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I
have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
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.

48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of
Israel; I [am] the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit,

had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the
waves of the sea:
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.
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.

deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them:

[Isaiah 49]
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.
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;
49:3 And said unto me, Thou [art] my servant, O Israel, in
whom I will be glorified.
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.
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.
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.
[A59 R352 R541B R542:1* R751:2* R353:4* ]
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.
[E156 R4542 ]
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;

that [are] in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the
ways, and their pastures [shall be] in all high places.

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.
49:11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways
shall be exalted.
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.
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.
49:14 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord
hath forgotten me.

not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may
forget, yet will I not forget thee.

49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of [my]
hands; thy walls [are] continually before me.
[R1828 R1829:5 ]
49:17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they
that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
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].
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.
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.
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]?
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.
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.
49:24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful
captive delivered?
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.
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]
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.
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.
50:3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make
sackcloth their covering.
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.
[E51 E52 ]
50:5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not
rebellious, neither turned away back.
[E52 ]
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.
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.

me? let us stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him
come near to me.
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.
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.
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]
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.
51:2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah [that]
bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and
increased him.

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.

nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my
judgment to rest for a light of the people.
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.
[E47 ]
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.
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.
[EGPP R1787 R5255B ]
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.
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?
[E47 ]
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?
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.
[R1772:6 R5250:5 ]
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;
[R1788:5 R5390:3 ]
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?
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.
51:15 But I [am] the LORD thy God, that divided the sea,
whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
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.
[A318 EGPP R1788:4 ]
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.

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.
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?
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.
51:21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken,
but not with wine:
51:22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God [that]

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.
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;
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.
[R48:2* ]
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;
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.

56:8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel

gathered unto him.

56:9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea], all
ye beasts in the forest.
56:10 His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they
[are] all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down,
loving to slumber.

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.

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]
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].
57:2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their
beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
57:3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed
of the adulterer and the whore.
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,
57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree,
slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the
rocks?
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?
57:7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed:
even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
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].
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.
[E371 E372 R1000 R1498 R2597 R2599:5 R2759B R4553 Z0912 ]
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.
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?
57:12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for
they shall not profit thee.
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;
57:14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way,
take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
57:20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it
cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

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.
[R5630:6 ]
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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;
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 noon day:
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.
[EGPP R590:5* ]
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.
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:
[R705:3 R705C ]
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]
59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot
save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
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.
59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers
with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath
muttered perverseness.
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.
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.
[R717 R718:6 ]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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].
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.
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;
[R492 ]
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.
59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice
standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and
equity cannot enter.
[R766 R767:1 ]
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.
[E47 R492 ]
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.
[E47 E96 R765:2* R1075:3* R4792:6 R4963:6 ]
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 cloak.
[R4265:6 ]
59:18 According to [their] deeds, accordingly he will repay,
fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the
islands he will repay recompense.
[D39 R4220B ]
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.

turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

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.

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.
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.

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:
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.

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.
[D14 D15 D17 E96 R5695 ]
63:2 Wherefore [art thou] red in thine apparel, and thy
garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
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.

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.
[D18 R465 R4963:6 ]
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.
[R4287:3 ]
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.
63:8 For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children
[that] will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
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.
[EGPP R2910 R2911:6 R4137B R4138:3 R5172 R5173:3 ]
63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore
he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought against them.
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?
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?
63:13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the
wilderness, [that] they should not stumble?
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.
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?
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.
[E348 ]
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.
63:18 The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but a
little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
63:19 We are [thine]: thou never barest rule over them; they
were not called by thy name.
[Isaiah 64]
64:1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou
wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy
presence.
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!
64:3 When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not
for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy
presence.
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.
[R4672 R4675:1 R4966 R4966:2 ]
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.
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.
[E445 R1258B R1261:3 R1392:1 Z9204 Q604:4 ]
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.
[R5379 ]
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.
64:9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember
iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we [are] all
thy people.
64:10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
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.
64:12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these [things], O LORD?
wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
[Isaiah 65]
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.
[R315 R1969 ]
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;
65:3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my
face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon
altars of brick;
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;
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.
65:6 Behold, [it is] written before me: I will not keep
silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
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.
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.
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.
[R3587:4 ]
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.

the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her
people a joy.

and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the
voice of crying.

burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yea, they have
chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their

fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I
