\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
vision
of Isaias
the
son
of Amos
I
which
he
saw
concerning Juda
and
Jerusalem
in
the
days
of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz,
and Ezechias,
kings
of Juda.
\VS{2}Hear,
O ye
heavens,
and
give
ear,
O
earth,
for
the
Lord hath
spoken.
I
have
brought
up
children,
and
exalted
them:
but
they
have despised
me.
\VS{3}The
ox knoweth
his
owner,
and
the ass
his
master’s crib:
but
Israel hath
not
known
me,
and
my
people hath
not
understood.
\VS{4}Woe
to
the
sinful
nation,
a
people laden
with
iniquity,
a
wicked
seed, ungracious
children:
they
have forsaken
the
Lord,
they
have
blasphemed
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
they
are gone
away backwards.
\VS{5}For
what
shall
I
strike
you
any
more,
you
that
increase transgression?
the
whole
head
is
sick,
and
the
whole
heart
is sad.
\VS{6}From
the
sole
of
the
foot unto
the
top
of
the
head,
there
is
no
soundness therein:
wounds
and
bruises
and swelling sores:
they
are
not
bound
up,
nor dressed,
nor fomented
with
oil.
\VS{7}Your
land
is
desolate,
your
cities
are
burnt
with
fire:
your
country
strangers
devour
before
your face,
and
it
shall
be
desolate
as
when wasted
by enemies.
\VS{8}And
the
daughter
of Sion shall
be
left
as
a covert
in
a
vineyard,
and
as
a lodge
in
a garden
of cucumbers,
and
as
a
city that
is laid waste.
\VS{9}Except
the
Lord
of
hosts
had
left us seed,
we
had
been
as
Sodom,
and
we
should
have
been
like
to Gomorrha.
\VS{10}Hear
the
word
of
the
Lord, ye
rulers
of
Sodom,
give
ear
to
the
law
of
our
God, ye
people
of Gomorrha.
\VS{11}To
what purpose
do
you
offer
me
the
multitude
of
your victims, saith
the
Lord?
I
am
full,
I
desire
not holocausts
of
rams,
and
fat
of
fatlings,
and
blood
of calves,
and
lambs,
and buck
goats.
\VS{12}When
you
came
to
appear
before
me,
who
required
these things
at
your
hands,
that
you
should walk
in
my courts?
\VS{13}Offer
sacrifice
no
more
in
vain:
incense
is
an
abomination
to
me.
The
new
moons,
and
the
sabbaths,
and other festivals
I
will
not abide,
your
assemblies
are
wicked.
\VS{14}My
soul hateth
your
new
moons,
and
your solemnities:
they
are
become troublesome
to
me,
I
am
weary
of
bearing
them.
\VS{15}And
when
you
stretch
forth
your
hands,
I
will
turn
away
my
eyes
from
you:
and
when
you
multiply
prayer,
I
will
not
hear:
for
your
hands
are
full
of
blood.
\VS{16}Wash
yourselves,
be
clean,
take
away
the
evil
of
your devices
from
my
eyes:
cease
to
do perversely,
\VS{17}Learn
to
do
well:
seek
judgment, relieve
the oppressed,
judge
for
the
fatherless,
defend
the
widow.
\VS{18}And
then
come,
and accuse
me, saith
the
Lord:
if
your
sins
be
as
scarlet,
they
shall
be
made
as
white
as
snow:
and
if
they
be
red
as
crimson,
they
shall
be
white
as
wool.
\VS{19}If
you
be
willing,
and
will hearken
to
me,
you
shall
eat
the
good
things
of
the
land.
\VS{20}But
if
you
will
not,
and
will provoke
me
to wrath:
the
sword
shall
devour
you
because
the
mouth
of
the
Lord hath
spoken
it.
\VS{21}How
is
the
faithful
city,
that
was
full
of
judgment,
become
a
harlot?
justice dwelt
in
it,
but
now
murderers.
\VS{22}Thy
silver
is
turned
into dress: thy wine
is mingled
with
water.
\VS{23}Thy
princes
are faithless,
companions
of
thieves:
they
all
love
bribes,
the
run
after
rewards.
They
judge
not
for
the
fatherless:
and
the
widow’s cometh
not
in
to
them.
\VS{24}Therefore saith
the
Lord
the
God
of
hosts,
the
mighty
one
of
Israel:
Ah!
I
will
comfort
myself
over
my adversaries:
and
I
will
be revenged
of
my
enemies.
\VS{25}And
I
will
turn
my
hand
to thee,
and
I
will clean purge
away thy dress,
and
I
will
take
away
all thy
tin.
\VS{26}And
I
will
restore thy
judges
as
they
were
before,
and thy counsellors
as
of
old.
After
this thou shalt
be
called
the
city
of
the
just,
a
faithful
city.
\VS{27}Sion shall
be
redeemed
in
judgment,
and they shall
bring
her
back
in
justice.
\VS{28}And
he
shall
destroy
the wicked,
and
the
sinners
together:
and
they
that
have forsaken
the
Lord,
shall
be
consumed.
\VS{29}For
they
shall
be
confounded
for
the idols,
to
which
they
have sacrificed:
and
you
shall
be
ashamed
of
the
gardens
which
you
have
chosen.
\VS{30}When
you
shall
be
as
an
oak
with
the
leaves falling off,
and
as
a
garden
without
water.
\VS{31}And
your strength
shall
be
as
the ashes
of
tow,
and
your
work
as
a
spark:
and
both
shall
burn
together,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
quench
it.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that Isaias
the
son
of Amos
saw,
concerning Juda
and
Jerusalem.
\VS{2}And
in
the
last
days
the
mountain
of
the
house
of
the
Lord
shall
be
prepared
on
the
top
of
mountains,
and
it
shall
be
exalted
above
the
hills,
and
all
nations
shall flow unto
it.
\VS{3}And
many
people
shall
go,
and
say:
Come
and
let
us
go
up
to
the
mountain
of
the
Lord,
and
to
the
house
of
the
God
of
Jacob,
and
he
will
teach
us
his
ways,
and
we
will
walk
in
his
paths:
for
the
law
shall
come
forth
from Sion,
and
the
word
of
the
Lord
from
Jerusalem.
\VS{4}And
he
shall
judge
the
Gentiles,
and
rebuke
many
people:
and
they
shall turn
their
swords
into ploughshares,
and
their
spears
into sickles:
nation
shall
not
lift
up
sword
against
nation,
neither
shall
they
be exercised
any
more
to
war.
\VS{5}O
house
of
Jacob, come ye,
and let us walk
in
the
light
of
the
Lord.
\VS{6}For thou hast
cast off thy
people,
the
house
of
Jacob:
because
they
are
filled
as
in times past,
and
have
had soothsayers
as
the
Philistines,
and
have adhered
to strange
children.
\VS{7}Their
land
is
filled
with
silver
and
gold:
and
there
is
no
end
of
their
treasures.
\VS{8}And
their
land
is
filled
with horses:
and
their chariots
are innumerable.
Their
land
also
is
full
of
idols:
they
have adored
the
work
of
their own
hands,
which
their own
fingers
have
made.
\VS{9}And
man hath
bowed
himself
down,
and
man hath
been debased: therefore
forgive
them
not.
\VS{10}Enter thou
into
the
rock,
and
hide thee
in
the pit
from
the
face
of
the
fear
of
the
Lord,
and
from
the glory
of
his
majesty.
\VS{11}The lofty
eyes
of
man
are
humbled,
and
the
haughtiness
of
men
shall
be
made
to stoop:
and
the
Lord
alone
shall
be
exalted
in
that
day.
\VS{12}Because
the
day
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
shall
be
upon
every
one
that
is
proud
and highminded,
and
upon
every
one
that
is arrogant,
and
he
shall
be humbled.
\VS{13}And
upon
all
the
tall
and
lofty
cedars
of Libanus,
and
upon
all
the
oaks
of Basan.
\VS{14}And
upon
all
the
high
mountains,
and
upon
all
the
elevated
hills.
\VS{15}And
upon
every
high
tower,
and
every fenced
wall.
\VS{16}And
upon
all
the
ships
of Tharsis,
and
upon
all
that
is fair
to behold.
\VS{17}And
the
loftiness
of
men
shall
be
bowed
down,
and
the
haughtiness
of
men
shall
be
humbled,
and
the
Lord
alone
shall
be
exalted
in
that
day.
\VS{18}And
idols shall be utterly destroyed.
\VS{19}And
they
shall
go
into
the
holes
of
rocks,
and
into
the
caves
of
the
earth
from
the
face
of
the
fear
of
the
Lord,
and
from
the glory
of
his
majesty,
when
he
shall
rise
up
to strike
the
earth.
\VS{20}In
that
day
a
man
shall
cast
away
his
idols
of
silver,
and
his
idols
of
gold,
which
he
had
made
for
himself
to adore, moles
and
bats.
\VS{21}And
he
shall
go
into
the
clefts
of
rocks,
and
into
the holes
of
stones
from
the
face
of
the
fear
of
the
Lord,
and
from
the glory
of
his
majesty,
when
he
shall
rise
up
to strike
the
earth.
\VS{22}Cease ye
therefore
from
the
man,
whose
breath
is
in
his
nostrils,
for
he
is reputed high.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}For
behold
the sovereign
the
Lord
of
hosts
shall
take
away
from
Jerusalem,
and
from Juda
the valiant
and
the strong,
the
whole strength
of
bread,
and
the
whole strength
of
water.
\VS{2}The
strong
man,
and
the
man
of
war,
the
judge,
and
the
prophet,
and
the cunning
man,
and
the ancient.
\VS{3}The
captain
over
fifty,
and
the honourable
in
countenance,
and
the counsellor,
and
the architect,
and
the
skillful
in eloquent speech.
\VS{4}And
I
will
give
children
to
be
their
princes,
and
the effeminate
shall
rule
over
them.
\VS{5}And
the
people
shall rush
one upon
another,
and
every
man
against
his neighbour:
the
child
shall
make it tumult
against
the ancient,
and
the base
against
the honourable.
\VS{6}For
a
man
shall
take
hold
or
his
brother,
one
of
the
house
of
his
father, saying: Thou hast
a
garment,
be thou
our
ruler,
and
let
this ruin
be
under thy
hand.
\VS{7}In
that
day
he
shall
answer,
saying:
I
am
no
healer,
and
in
my
house
there
is
no
bread,
nor
clothing:
make
me
not
ruler
of
the
people.
\VS{8}For
Jerusalem
is ruined,
and Juda
is
fallen:
because
their
tongue,
and
their devices
are
against
the
Lord,
to provoke
the
eyes
of
his
majesty.
\VS{9}The shew
of
their
countenance hath
answered
them:
and
they
have proclaimed abroad
their
sin
as
Sodom,
and
they
have
not
hid
it:
woe
to
their
souls,
for evils
are rendered
to
them.
\VS{10}Say
to
the
just
man
that
it
is
well,
for
he shall
eat
the
fruit
of
his
doings.
\VS{11}Woe
to
the
wicked unto
evil:
for
the reward
of
his
hands
shall
be
given
him.
\VS{12}As
for
my
people,
their
oppressors
have stripped
them,
and
women
have
ruled
over
them. O
my
people,
they
that
call thee
blessed,
the same deceive thee,
and
destroy
the
way
of thy steps.
\VS{13}The
Lord standeth
up
to
judge,
and
he standeth
to
judge
the
people.
\VS{14}The
Lord
will
enter
into
judgment
with
the ancients
of
his
people,
and
its
princes:
for
you
have devoured
the
vineyard,
and
the spoil
of
the
poor
is
in
your
house.
\VS{15}Why do
you consume
my
people,
and
grind
the
faces
of
the
poor? saith
the
Lord
the
God
of
hosts.
\VS{16}And
the
Lord
said:
Because
the
daughters
of Sion
are haughty,
and
have
walked
with
stretched
out necks,
and wanton glances
of
their
eyes,
and
made
a noise
as
they
walked
with
their
feet
and
moved
in
a
set
pace:
\VS{17}The
Lord
will
make
bald
the
crown
of
the
head
of
the
daughters
of Sion,
and
the
Lord
will discover
their hair.
\VS{18}In
that
day
the
Lord
will
take
away
the
ornaments
of shoes,
and little moons,
\VS{19}And chains and necklaces, and
bracelets, and bonnets,
\VS{20}And bodkins,
and ornaments
of
the legs,
and tablets,
and sweet balls,
and earrings,
\VS{21}And
rings,
and jewels hanging
on
the forehead,
\VS{22}And changes of apparel, and short
cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,
\VS{23}And looking-glasses,
and lawns,
and headbands,
and fine
veils.
\VS{24}And
instead
of
a
sweet smell
there
shall
be stench,
and
instead
of
a girdle,
a cord,
and
instead
of curled
hair,
baldness,
and
instead
of
a stomacher, haircloth.
\VS{25}Thy fairest
men also
shall
fall
by
the
sword,
and thy valiant
ones
in
battle.
\VS{26}And her
gates
shall
lament
and
mourn,
and she
shall
sit desolate
on
the
ground.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
in
that
day
seven
women
shall
take
hold
of
one
man,
saying:
We
will
eat
our
own
bread,
and
wear
our
own
apparel:
only let
us
be
called
by thy
name,
take
away
our
reproach.
\VS{2}In
that
day
the bud
of
the
Lord
shall
be
in magnificence
and
glory,
and
the
fruit
of
the
earth
shall
be high,
and
a great joy
to
them
that
shall
have
escaped
of
Israel.
\VS{3}And
it shall
come
to
pass,
that
every
one
that shall
be
left
in Sion,
and
that shall
remain
in
Jerusalem, shall
be
called
holy,
every
one
that
is
written
in
life
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{4}If
the
Lord shall
wash
away
the
filth
of
the
daughters
of Sion,
and shall
wash
away
the
blood
of
Jerusalem
out
of
the
midst thereof,
by
the
spirit
of
judgment,
and
by
the
spirit
of
burning.
\VS{5}And
the
Lord
will
create
upon
every
place
of
mount Sion,
and
where
he
is called
upon,
a
cloud
by
day,
and
a
smoke
and
the
brightness
of
a
flaming
fire
in
the
night:
for
over
all
the
glory
shall
be
a protection.
\VS{6}And
there shall
be
a tabernacle
for
a
shade
in
the
daytime
from
the heat,
and
for
a security
and covert
from
the whirlwind,
and
from
rain.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}I
will
sing
to
my
beloved
the canticle
of
my cousin concerning
his
vineyard.
My
beloved
had
a
vineyard
on
a
hill
in
a fruitful
place.
\VS{2}And
he fenced
it
in,
and picked
the
stones
out
of
it,
and
planted
it
with
the choicest vines,
and
built
a
tower
in
the
midst thereof,
and
set
up
a
winepress therein:
and
he looked
that
it
should bring forth
grapes,
and
it broutht forth wild
grapes.
\VS{3}And
now,
O ye
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and ye
men
of Juda,
judge
between
me
and
my
vineyard.
\VS{4}What
is there
that
I ought
to
do
more
to
my
vineyard,
that
I
have
not
done
to
it?
\VS{5}And
now
I
will shew
you wnat
I
will
do
to
my
vineyard.
I
will
take
away
the
hedge thereof,
and
it
shall
be wasted:
I
will
break
down
the
wall thereof,
and
it
shall
be trodden
down.
\VS{6}And
I
will
make
it desolate:
it
shall
not
be
pruned,
and
it
shall
not
be digged:
but
briers
and
thorns
shall
come
up:
and
I
will
command
the
clouds
to
rain
no
rain
upon
it.
\VS{7}For
the
vineyard
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
is
the
house
of
Israel:
and
the
man
of Juda,
his pleasant
plant:
and
I
looked
that
he
should do
judgment,
and
behold iniquity:
and do
justice,
and
behold
a
cry.
\VS{8}Woe
to
you
that
join
house
to
house
and lay
field
to
field,
even
to
the end
of
the
place:
shall
you
alone
dwell
in
the
midst
of
the
earth?
\VS{9}These
things
are
in
my
ears, saith
the
Lord
of
hosts:
unless
many
great
and fair
houses
shall
become
desolate,
without
an
inhabitant.
\VS{10}For
ten
acres
of
vineyard
shall
yield
one little
measure,
and thirty bushels
of
seed
shall
yield three bushels.
\VS{11}Woe
to
you
that
rise
up
early
in
the
morning
to
follow drunkenness,
and
to
drink till
the
evening,
to
be inflamed
with
wine.
\VS{12}The
harp,
and
the
lyre,
and
the
timbrel,
and
the pipe,
and
wine
are
in
your feasts:
and
the
work
of
the
Lord
you
regard
not,
nor
do
you
consider
the
works
of
his
hands.
\VS{13}Therefore
is
my
people
led
away
captive,
because
they had not
knowledge,
and
their nobles
have perished
with
famine,
and
their
multitude were dried
up
with
thirst.
\VS{14}Therefore hath hell
enlarged
her
soul,
and
opened
her
mouth
without
any bounds,
and
their strong
ones,
and
their
people,
and
their high
and glorious
ones
shall
go
down
into
it.
\VS{15}And
man
shall
be
brought
down,
and
man
shall
be
humbled,
and
the
eyes
of
the
lofty
shall
be
brought
low.
\VS{16}And
the
Lord
of
hosts
shall
be
exalted
in
judgment,
and
the
holy
God
shall
be
sanctified
in
justice.
\VS{17}And
the
lambs shall
feed according
to
their order,
and strangers shall
eat
the
deserts turned into fruitfulness.
\VS{18}Woe
to
you
that
draw
iniquity
with
cords
of
vanity,
and
sin as
the rope
of
a
cart.
\VS{19}That
say: Let
him
make
haste,
and let
his

that
we
may
see
it:
and let
the
counsel
of
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
come,
that
we
may
know
it.
\VS{20}Woe
to
you
that
call
evil
good,
and
good
evil:
that
put
darkness
for
light,
and
light
for
darkness:
that
put
bitter
for
sweet,
and
sweet
for
bitter.
\VS{21}Woe
to
you
that rue
wise
in
your
own
eyes,
and
prudent
in
your
own conceits.
\VS{22}Woe
to
you
that
are
mighty
to
drink
wine,
and stout
men
at drunkenness.
\VS{23}That
justify
the
wicked
for
gifts,
and
take
away
the
justice
of
the
just
from
him.
\VS{24}Therefore
as
the
tongue
of
the
fire devoureth
the
stubble,
and
the heat
of
the dame consumeth
it:
so
shall
their
root
be
as ashes,
and
their
bud
shall
go
up
as
dust:
for
they
have
cast
away
the
law
of
the
Lord
of
hosts,
and
have
blasphemed
the
word
of
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
\VS{25}Therefore
is
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
kindled
against
his
people,
and
he hath
stretched
out
his
hand
upon
them,
and
struck
them:
and
the
mountains
were
troubled,
and
their
carcasses
became
as dung
in
the
midst
of
the
streets.
For
all
this
his
anger
is
not
turned
away,
but
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still.
\VS{26}And
he
will
lift
up
a sign
to
the
nations
afar
off,
and
will
whistle
to
them
from
the ends
of
the
earth:
and
behold
they
shall
come
with
speed
swiftly.
\VS{27}There
is
none
that
shall
faint,
nor labour
among
them:
they
shall
not
slumber
nor
sleep,
neither
shall
the
girdle
of
their
loins
be loosed,
nor
the latchet
of
their
shoes
be
broken.
\VS{28}Their
arrows
are
sharp,
and
all
their
bows
are
bent.
The
hoofs
of
their
horses
shall
be
like
the hint,
and
their
wheels
like
the violence
of
a tempest.
\VS{29}Their
roaring
like
that
of
a
lion,
they
shall
roar
like
young
lions: yea
they
shall
roar,
and
take
hold
of
the
prey,
and
they
shall keep
fast
hold
of it,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
deliver it.
\VS{30}And
they
shall
make
a noise
against
them
that
day,
like
the
roaring
of
the
sea;
we
shall
look towards
the
land,
and
behold
darkness
of tribulation,
and
the
light
is
darkened
with
the mist thereof.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
year
that
king Ozias
died,
I
saw
the
Lord
sitting
upon
a
throne
high
and
elevated:
and
his
train
filled
the
temple.
\VS{2}Upon
it
stood
the seraphims:
the
one
had
six
wings,
and
the
other
had
six
wings:
with
two
they
covered
his
face,
and
with
two
they
covered
his
feet,
and
with
two
they hew.
\VS{3}And
they
cried
one
to
another,
and
said:
Holy,
holy,
holy,
the
Lord
God
of
hosts,
all
the
earth
is
full
of
his
glory.
\VS{4}And
the lintels
of
the doors
were moved
at
the
voice
of
him
that
cried,
and
the
house
was
filled
with
smoke.
\VS{5}And
I
said:
Woe
is
me,
because
I
have held
my peace;
because
I
am
a
man
of
unclean
lips,
and
I
dwell
in
the
midst
of
a
people
that hath
unclean
lips,
and
I
have
seen
with
my
eyes
the
King
the
Lord
of
hosts.
\VS{6}And
one
of
the seraphims
flew
to
me,
and
in
his
hand
was
a live coal, which
he
had
taken
with
the
tongs
off
the
altar.
\VS{7}And
he
touched
my
mouth,
and
said:
Behold
this hath
touched thy
lips,
and thy
iniquities
shall
be
taken
away,
and thy
sin
shall
be cleansed.
\VS{8}And
I
heard
the
voice
of
the
Lord,
saying:
Whom
shall
I
send?
and
who
shall
go
for
us?
And
I
said:
Lo,
here
am
I,
send
me.
\VS{9}And
he
said: Go,
and thou shalt
say
to
this
people:
Hearing,
hear,
and
understand
not:
and
see
the
vision,
and
know
it
not.
\VS{10}Blind
the
heart
of
this
people,
and
make
their
ears
heavy,
and shut
their
eyes:
lest
they
see
with
their
eyes,
and
hear
with
their
ears,
and
understand
with
their
heart,
and
be
converted
and
I
heal
them.
\VS{11}And
I
said:
How
long,
O
Lord?
And
he
said:
Until
the
cities
be wasted
without
inhabitant,
and
the
houses
without
man,
and
the
land
shall
be
left
desolate.
\VS{12}And
the
Lord
shall
remove
men
far
away,
and she
shall
be multiplied
that
was left
in
the
midst
of
the
earth.
\VS{13}And
there
shall
be
still
a tithing therein,
and
she
shall
turn,
and
shall
be
made
a
show
as
a turpentine tree,
and
as
an
oak
that spreadeth
its branches:
that
which
shall stand therein,
shall
be
a
holy
seed.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
days
of Achaz
the
son
of Joathan,
the
son
of Ozias,
king
of Juda,
that Basin
king
of
Syria,
and Phacee
the
son
of Romelia
king
of
Israel,
came
up
to
Jerusalem,
to
fight
against
it:
but
they
could
not
prevail
over
it.
\VS{2}And
they
told
the
house
of
David,
saying:
Syria hath
rested
upon
Ephraim,
and
his
heart
was
moved,
and
the
heart
of
his
people,
as
the
trees
of
the
woods
are
moved
with
the
wind.
\VS{3}And
the
Lord
said
to Isaias:
Go
forth
to
meet Achaz, thou
and Jasub thy
son
that
is
left,
to
the conduit
of
the
upper
pool,
a
in
the way
of
the
fuller’s held.
\VS{4}And thou shalt
say
to
him: See thou
be
quiet:
fear
not,
and
let
not thy
heart
be
afraid
of
the
two
tails
of
these fire brands,
smoking
with
the
wrath
of
the fury
of Rasin king
of
Syria,
and
of
the
son
of Romelia.
\VS{5}Because
Syria hath taken
counsel
against thee, unto
the
evil
of
Ephraim
and
the
son
of Romelia,
saying:
\VS{6}Let
us
go
up
to Juda,
and rouse
it
up,
and draw
it
away
to
us,
and
make
the
son
of
Tabeel
king
in
the
midst thereof.
\VS{7}Thus saith
the
Lord
God:
It
shall
not
stand,
and
this
shall
not
be.
\VS{8}But
the
head
of
Syria
is
Damascus,
and
the
head
of
Damascus
is Basin:
and within threescore
and
five
years,
Ephraim
shall cease
to
be
a
people:
\VS{9}And
the
head
of
Ephraim
is
Samaria
and
the
head
of
Samaria
the
son
of Romelia.
If
you
will
not
believe,
you
shall
not continue.
\VS{10}And
the
Lord
spoke
again
to Achaz,
saying:
\VS{11}Ask thee
a
sign
of
the
Lord thy
God
either unto
the depth
of hell,
or unto
the height
above.
\VS{12}And Achaz
said:
I
will
not
ask,
and
I
will
not tempt
the
Lord.
\VS{13}And
he
said:
Hear ye
therefore,
O
house
of
David:
Is
it
a
small
thing
for
you
to
be grievous
to
men,
that
you
are grievous
to
my
God
also?
\VS{14}Therefore
the
Lord
himself
shall
give
you
a
sign.
Behold
a
virgin
shall
conceive,
and
bear
a
son,
and
his
name
shall
be
called Emmanuel.
\VS{15}He
shall
eat
butter
and
honey,
that
he
may
know
to refuse
the
evil,
and
to
choose
the
good.
\VS{16}For
before
the
child
know
to refuse
the
evil,
and
to
choose
the
good,
the
land
which thou abhorrest
shall
be forsaken
of
the
face
of
her
two
kings.
\VS{17}The
Lord
shall
bring
upon thee,
and
upon thy
people,
and
upon
the
house
of thy
father,
days
that
have
not
come
since
the
time
of
the separation
of
Ephraim
from Juda
with
the
king
of
the Assyrians.
\VS{18}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
the
Lord
shall
hiss
for
the
fly,
that
is
in
the uttermost parts
of
the
rivers
of
Egypt,
and
for
the
bee
that
is
in
the
land
of
Assyria.
\VS{19}And
they shall
come,
and shall
all
of
them
rest
in
the torrents
of
the
valleys,
and
in
the holes
of
the
rocks,
and
upon
all
places
set
with shrubs,
and
in
all hollow
places.
\VS{20}In
that
day
the
Lord
shall
shave
with
a
razor
that
is
hired
by
them
that
are
beyond
the
river,
by
the
king
of
the Assyrians,
the
head
and
the
hairs
of
the
feet,
and
the
whole
beard.
\VS{21}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
a
man
shall nourish
a
young cow,
and
two
sheep.
\VS{22}And
for
the
abundance
of
milk
he
shall
eat
butter:
for
butter
and
honey
shall
every
one
eat
that
shall
be
left
in

midst
of
the

\VS{23}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
every
place
where
there
were
a
thousand
vines,
at
a
thousand pieces
of
silver,
shall
become
thorns
and
briers.
\VS{24}With
arrows
and
with
bows
they
shall
go
in thither:
for
briars
and
thorns
shall
be
in
all
the
land.
\VS{25}And
as
for
all
the
hills
that

be raked
with
a rake,
the

of
thorns
and
briers
shall
not
come thither,

to feed
on,

to
tread
upon.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
Lord
said
to
me:
Take thee
a
great book,
and
write
in
it
with
a
man’s pen.
Take sway
the spoils
with speed, quickly
take
the prey.
\VS{2}And
I
took unto
me
faithful
witnesses, Urias
the
priest,
and Zacharias
the
son
of Barachias.
\VS{3}And
I
went
to
the
prophetess,
and
she
conceived,
and
bore
a
son.
And
the
Lord
said
to
me:
Call
his
name, Hasten
to take away
the spoils:
Make haste
to take away
the prey.

before

know
to
call

his
mother,
the
strength
of
Damascus,
and
the
spoils
of
Samaria
shall
be
taken
away

the
king
of

the
Lord
spoke
to
me
again,
saying:
\VS{6}Forasmuch
as
this
people hath cast
away
the
waters
of Siloe,
that
go
with silence,
and hath
rather taken Basin,
and
the
son
of Romelia:

will
bring
upon
them
the
waters
of
the
river
strong
and
many,

king
of
the Assyrians,

all
his
glory:

shall
come
up
over
all
his
channels,

shall overflow
all
his
banks,

shall
pass
through Juda,
overflowing,

over
shall
reach
even
to
the
neck.
And
the stretching
out
of
his
wings
shall
fill
the
breadth
of thy
land, O Emmanuel.
\VS{9}Gather
yourselves
together, O ye
people,
and
be overcome,
and
give
ear,
all ye
lands
afar
off: strengthen
yourselves,
and
be overcome,
gird
yourselves,
and
be overcome.
\VS{10}Take
counsel
together,
and
it
shall
be defeated:
speak
a
word,
and
it
shall
not
be done:
because
God
is
with
us.
\VS{11}For
thus saith
the
Lord
to
me:
As
he hath
taught
me,
with
a
strong
arm,
that
I
should
not
walk
in
the
way
of
this
people,
saying:
\VS{12}Say ye
not:
A
conspiracy:
for
all
that
this
people speaketh,
is
a
conspiracy:
neither
fear ye
their
fear,
nor
be
afraid.
\VS{13}Sanctify
the
Lord
of
hosts
himself:
and let
him
be
your
fear,
and let
him
be
your
dread.
\VS{14}And
he
shall
be
a sanctification
to
you.

stone
or
stumbling,

for
a
rock
of offence
to

Israel,
for
a
snare
and
a ruin
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.

very
many
of
them
shall
stumble
and
fall,
and
shall
be
broken
in
pieces,

shall
be
snared,
and
taken.

up
the
testimony,
seal
the
law
among my
disciples.

I
will
wait
for
the

who hath
hid
his
face
from

Jacob,

write,
write
injustice:
\VS{2}To oppress
the
poor
in
judgment,
and do violence
to
the
cause
of
the
humble
of
my
people:
that
widows might
be
their
prey,
and
that
they might
rob
the
fatherless.
\VS{3}What
will
you
do
in
the
day
of visitation,
and
of
the
calamity
which cometh
from
afar?
to
whom
will ye
flee
for
help?
and
where
will ye
leave
your
glory?
\VS{4}That
you
be
not
bowed
down
under
the bond,
and
fall
with
the
slain?
In
all
these
things
his
anger
is
not
turned
away,
but
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still.
\VS{5}Woe
to
the Assyrian,
he
is
the
rod
and
the
staff
of
my
anger,
and
my
indignation
is
in their
hands.
\VS{6}I
will
send
him
to
a deceitful
nation,
and
I
will
give
him
a
charge
against
the
people
of
my
wrath,
to
take
away
the
spoils,
and
to
lay hold
on
the
prey,
and
to
tread
them
down
like
the mire
of
the
streets.
\VS{7}But
he
shall
not take
it
so,
and
his
heart
shall
not
think
so:
but
his
heart
shall
be set
to
destroy,
and
to
cut
off
nations
not
a
few.
\VS{8}For
he
shall
say:
\VS{9}Are
not
my princes
as
so many kings?
is
not Calano
as Charcamis:
and Emath
as Arphad?
is
not
Samaria
as
Damascus?
\VS{10}As
my
hand hath
found
the
kingdoms
of
the idol,
so
also
their
idols
of
Jerusalem,
and
of
Samaria.
\VS{11}Shall
I
not,
as
I
have
done
to
Samaria
and
her
idols,
so
do
to
Jerusalem
and
her
idols?
\VS{12}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
when
the
Lord
shall
have performed
all
his
works
in
mount Sion,
and
in
Jerusalem,
I
will
visit
the
fruit
of
the
proud
heart
of
the
king
of
Assyria,
and
the
glory
of
the
haughtiness
of
his
eyes.
\VS{13}For
he hath
said:
By
the
strength
of
my own
hand
I
have
done
it,
and
by
my own
wisdom
I
have
understood:
and
I
have
removed
the bounds
of
the
people,
and
have
taken
the spoils
of
the princes,
and
as
a
mighty
man hath pulled
down
them
that
sat
on high.
\VS{14}And
my
hand hath
found
the
strength
of
the
people
as
a
nest;
and
as
eggs
are
gathered,
that
are
left,
so
have
I
gathered
all
the
earth:
and
there
was
none
that moved
the
wing,
or
opened
the
mouth,
or
made
the least noise.
\VS{15}Shall
the
axe
boast
itself
against
him
that cutteth
with
it?
or
shall
the
saw
exalt
itself
against
him
by whom
it
is drawn?
as
if
a
rod
should
lift
itself
up
against
him
that lifteth
it
up,
and
a
staff
exalt
itself,
which
is
but
wood.
\VS{16}Therefore
the sovereign
Lord,
the
Lord
of
hosts,
shall
send leanness
among
his fat ones:
and
under
his
glory
shall
be
kindled
a
burning,
as
it
were
the
burning
of
a
fire.
\VS{17}And
the
light
of
Israel
shall
be
as
a
fire,
and
the
Holy
One thereof
as
a
flame:
and
his
thorns
and
his
briers
shall
be set
on
fire,
and
shall
be
devoured
in
one
day.
\VS{18}And
the
glory
of
his
forest,
and
of
his beautiful hill,
shall
be
consumed
from
the
soul
even
to
the
flesh,
and
he
shall run
away through fear.
\VS{19}And they
that
remain
of
the
trees
of
his
forest shall
be
so
few,
that they shall easily
be
numbered,
and
a
child shall
write
them
down.
\VS{20}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
the
remnant
of
Israel,
and
they
that
shall
escape
of
the
house
of
Jacob,
shall
lean
no
more
upon
him
that striketh
them:
but
they
shall
lean
upon
the
Lord
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
in
truth.
\VS{21}The
remnant
shall
be
converted,
the
remnant, I say,
of
Jacob,
to
the
mighty
God.
\VS{22}For
if thy
people,
O
Israel,
shall
be
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
a
remnant
of
them
shall
be
converted,
the consumption abridged
shall
overflow
with
justice.
\VS{23}For
the
Lord
God
of
hosts
shall
make
a consumption,
and
an abridgment
in
the
midst
of
all
the
land.
\VS{24}Therefore,
thus saith
the
Lord
the
God
of
hosts:
O
my
people
that dwellest
in Sion,
be
not
afraid
of
the Assyrian:
he
shall
strike thee
with
his
rod,
and
he
shall
lift
up
his
staff
over thee
in
the
way
of
Egypt.
\VS{25}For
yet
a
little
and
a
very
little
while,
and
my
indignation shall cease,
and
my
wrath shall
be
upon
their wickedness.
\VS{26}And
the
Lord
of
hosts
shall
raise
up
a
scourge
against
him,
according
to
the
slaughter
of Madian
in
the
rock
of
Oreb,
and
his
rod
over
the
sea,
and
he
shall
lift
it
up
in
the
way
of
Egypt.
\VS{27}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
his
burden
shall
be
taken
away
from
off thy
shoulder,
and
his
yoke
from
off thy
neck,
and
the
yoke
shall putrify
at
the
presence
of
the
oil.
\VS{28}He
shall
come
into
Aiath,
he
shall
pass
into Magron:
at Machmas
he
shall lay
up
his carriages.
\VS{29}They have
passed
in haste, Gaba
is our
lodging: Rama
was astonished, Gabaath
of
Saul
fled
away.
\VS{30}Lift up thy
voice, O
daughter
of
Gallim, attend, O Laisa,
poor
Anathoth.
\VS{31}Medemena
is removed: ye
inhabitants
of Gabim,
take courage.
\VS{32}It
is
yet
day
enough,
to
remain
in Nobe:
he
shall
shake
his
hand
against
the
mountain
of
the
daughter
of Sion,
the
hill
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{33}Behold
the sovereign
Lord
of
hosts
shall
break
the earthen vessel
with terror,
and
the
tall
of
stature
shall
be
cut
down,
and
the
lofty
shall
be humbled.
\VS{34}And
the
thickets
of
the

down
with
iron,
and Libanus
with its high
ones shall
fall.

shall
be fed,

down

hear

who

\VS{15}For
you
have
said:
We
have
entered
into
a
league
with
death,
and
we
have
made
a
covenant
with hell.
When
the
overflowing scourge
shall
pass
through,
it
shall
not
come
upon
us:
for
we
have
placed
our
hope
in
lies,
and
by
falsehood
we
are protected.

thus saith
the
Lord
God:
Behold
I
will
lay
a

in
the

of Sion,
a tried
stone,
a
corner
stone,
a
precious
stone,
founded
in
the
foundation.
He
that believeth,
let
him
not hasten.
\VS{17}And
I
will
set
judgment
in weight,
and
justice
in measure:
and
hail
shall overturn
the hope
of
falsehood:
and
waters
shall
overflow
its protection.
\VS{18}And Sour
league
with
death
shall
be abolished,
and
your
covenant
with hell
shall
not
stand:
when
the
overflowing
scourge
shall
pass,
you
shall
be trodden
down
by
it.
\VS{19}Whensoever
it
shall
pass
through,
it
shall
take
you
away:
because
in
the
morning
early
it
shall
pass
through,
in
the
day
and
in
the
night,
and vexation alone
shall
make
you
understand
what
you hear.

the
bed
is straitened,
so
that
one must fall out, and
a short
covering cannot cover both.

the
Lord
shall
stand
up
as
in
the
mountain
of divisions:
he
shall
be angry
as
in

valley
which
is
in Gabaon:
that
he
may
do
his
work,
his
strange
work:
that
he
may
perform
his
work,
his
work
is
strange
to
him.

now
do
not
mock,
lest
your
bonds
be tied strait.
For
I
have
heard
of
the
Lord
the
God
of
hosts
a consumption
and
a cutting short
upon
all
the
earth.

ear,

hear
my

the ploughman plough
all
the
day
to
sow,
shall
he
open

harrow
his
ground?
\VS{25}Will
he
not,
when
he hath
made plain
the
surface thereof,
sow gith,
and
scatter
cummin,
and
put
wheat
in order,
and
barley,
and millet,
and vetches
in
their bounds?
\VS{26}For
he
will
instruct
him
in
judgment:
his
God
will
teach
him.
\VS{27}For gith
shall
not
be thrashed
with saws,
neither
shall
the

wheel
turn
about

but gith
shall
be
beaten
out

with

they
were
no
help,
nor
to
any
profit,
but
to confusion
and
to
reproach.
\VS{6}The
burden
of
the
beasts
of
the
south.
In
a
land
of
trouble
and
distress,
from whence come
the
lioness,
and
the
lion,
the
viper
and
the flying basilisk,
they
carry
their
riches
upon
the
shoulders
of
beasts,
and
their
treasures
upon
the bunches
of
camels
to
a
people
that
shall
not
be
able
to
profit
them.
\VS{7}For
Egypt
shall
help
in
vain,
and
to no purpose:
therefore
have
I
cried concerning
this:
It
is pride only, sit still.
\VS{8}Now
therefore
go
in
and
write
for
them
upon box,
and note
it diligently
in
a
book,
and
it
shall
be
in
the
latter
days
for
a
testimony
for
ever.
\VS{9}For
it
is
a
people
that provoketh
to wrath,
and lying
children,
children
that
will
not
hear
the
law
of
God.
\VS{10}Who
say
to
the
seers:
See
not:
and
to
them
that
behold:
Behold
not
for
us
those
things
that
are right:
speak unto
us pleasant
things,
see errors
for
us.
\VS{11}Take
away
from
me
the
way,
turn
away
the
path
from
me,
let
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
cease
from
before
us.
\VS{12}Therefore
thus saith
the
Holy
One
of
Israel:
Because
you
have
rejected
this
word,
and
have
trusted
in
oppression
and tumult,
and
have
leaned
upon
it:
\VS{13}Therefore
shall
this
iniquity
be
to
you
as
a
breach
that falleth,
and
is found wanting
in
a
high
wall,
for
the
destruction thereof
shall
come
on
a
sudden,
when
it
is
not looked
for.
\VS{14}And
it
shall
be
broken small,
as
the
potter’s
vessel
is
broken all
to
pieces
with mighty
breaking,
and
there
shall
not
a
sherd
be
found
of
the
pieces thereof, wherein
a little
fire
may
be carried
from
the
hearth,
or
a, little
water
be drawn
out
of
the pit.
\VS{15}For
thus saith
the
Lord
God
the
Holy
One
of
Israel:
If
you return
and
be
quiet,
you
shall
be
saved:
in silence
and
in hope
shall
your
strength
be.
And
you
would
not:
\VS{16}But
have
said:
No,
but
we
will
flee
to
horses:
therefore
shall
you
flee.
And
we
will mount
upon
swift ones:
therefore
shall
they
be
swifter
that
shall
pursue
after
you.
\VS{17}A
thousand
men
shall
flee
for fear
of
one:
and
for fear
of
five
shall
you
flee,
till
you
be
left
as
the
mast
of
a ship
on
the
top
of
a
mountain,
and
as
an ensign
upon
a
hill.
\VS{18}Therefore
the
Lord waiteth
that
be
may
have
mercy
on
you:
and
therefore
shall
he
be
exalted sparing
you:
because
the
Lord
is
the
God
of
judgment:
blessed
are
all
they
that
wait
for
him.
\VS{19}For
the
people
of Sion
shall
dwell
in
Jerusalem:
weeping thou shalt
not
weep,
he
will
surely
have
pity
on thee:
at
the
voice
of thy
cry,
as
soon
as
he shell
hear,
he
will
answer thee.
\VS{20}And
the
Lord
will
give
you spare
bread,
and short
water:
and
will
not
cause thy
teacher
to flee
away
from thee
any
more,
and thy
eyes
shall
see thy
teacher.
\VS{21}And thy
ears
shall
hear
the
word
of
one admonishing thee
behind thy
back:
This
is
the
way,
walk ye
in
it:
and
go
not
aside neither
to
the right hand, nor
to
the
left.
\VS{22}And thou shalt
defile
the plates
of thy
graven things
of
silver,
and
the garment
of thy molten things
of
gold,
and shalt cast
them
away
as
the uncleanness
of
a
menstruous
woman. Thou shalt
say
to
it:
Get thee hence.
\VS{23}And
rain
shall
be
given
to thy
seed, wheresoever thou shalt
sow
in
the
land:
and
the
bread
of
the corn
of
the
land
shall
be most plentiful,
and fat.
The lamb
in
that
day
shall
feed
at
large
in thy
possession:
\VS{24}And thy
oxen,
and
the ass colts
that
till
the
ground,
shall
eat mingled provender
as
it
was
winnowed
in
the floor.
\VS{25}And
there
shall
be
upon
every
high
mountain,
and
upon
every
elevated
hill rivers
of
running
waters
in
the
day
of
the
slaughter
of
many,
when
the
tower
shall
fall.
\VS{26}And
the
light
of
the
moon
shall
be
as
the
light
of
the
sun,
and
the
light
of
the
sun
shall
be
sevenfold,
as
the
light
of
seven
days:
in
the
day
when
the
Lord
shall
bind
up
the
wound
of
his
people,
and
shall
heal
the stroke
of
their
wound.
\VS{27}Behold
the
name
of
the
Lord cometh
from
afar,
his
wrath burneth,
and
is
heavy
to bear:
his
lips
are
filled
with
indignation,
and
his
tongue
as
a
devouring
fire.
\VS{28}His
breath
as
a torrent
overflowing
even
to
the midst
of
the
neck,
to destroy
the
nations unto nothing,
and
the
bridle
of error
that
was
in
the
jaws
of
the
people.
\VS{29}You
shall
have
a
song
as
in
the
night
of
the
sanctified solemnity,
and
joy
of
heart,
as
when
one goeth
with
a pipe,
to
come
into
the
mountain
of
the
Lord,
to
the Mighty
One
of
Israel.
\VS{30}And
the
Lord
shall
make
the
glory
of
his
voice
to
be
heard,
and
shall shew
the terror
of
his
arm,
in
the threatening
of
wrath,
and
the dame
of
devouring
fire:
he
shall crush
to pieces
with whirlwind,
and
hailstones.
\VS{31}For
at
the
voice
of
the
Lord
the Assyrian
shall fear being
struck
with
the
rod.
\VS{32}And
the passage
of
the
rod
shall
be strongly grounded,
which
the
Lord
shall make
to
rest
upon
him
with
timbrels
and
harps,
and
in great
battles
he
shall
over throw
them.
\VS{33}For
Topheth
is
prepared
from yesterday,
prepared
by
the
king,
deep,

wide.
The nourishment thereof
is
fire

much
wood:
the

of
the
Lord
as
a torrent
of
brimstone kindling
it.

\par }\Chap{36}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the fourteenth
year
of
king Ezechias,
that
Sennacherib
king
of
the Assyrians
came
up
against
all
the fenced
cities
of Juda,
and
took
them.
\VS{2}And
the
king
of
the Assyrians
sent Rabsaces
from Lachis
to
Jerusalem,
to
king Ezechias
with
a
great
army,
and
he
stood
by
the conduit
of
the
upper
pool
in
the
way
of
the
fuller’s held.
\VS{3}And
there
went
out
to
him Eliacim
the
son
of Helcias,
who
was
over
the
house,
and Sobna
the
scribe,
and Joahe
the
son
of
Asaph
the
recorder.
\VS{4}And Rabsaces
said
to
them:
Tell Ezechias:
Thus saith
the
great
king,
the
king
of
the Assyrians:
What
is
this
confidence
wherein thou trustest?
\VS{5}Or
with
what
counsel
or
strength dost thou prepare
for
war?
on
whom dost thou
trust,
that thou art revolted
from
me?
\VS{6}Lo thou trustest
upon
this broken
staff
of
a
reed,
upon
Egypt:
upon
which
if
a
man
lean,
it
will
go
into
his
hand,
and pierce
it:
so
is Pharao
king
or
Egypt
to
all
that
trust
in
him.
\VS{7}But
if thou wilt
answer
me:
We
trust
in
the
Lord
our
God:
is
it
not
he
whose
high
places
and
altars Ezechias hath
taken
away,
and hath
said
to Juda
and
Jerusalem:
You
shall
worship
before
this
altar?
\VS{8}And
now
deliver thyself
up
to
my
lord
the
king
of
the Assyrians,
and
I
will
give thee two
thousand
horses,
and thou wilt
not
be
able
on thy
part
to
find
riders
for
them.
\VS{9}And
how wilt thou stand
against
the
face
of
the judge
of
one place,
of
the least
of
my
master’s
servants?
But if thou
trust
in
Egypt,
in
chariots
and
in
horsemen:
\VS{10}And
am
I
now
come
up
without
the
Lord
against
this
land
to
destroy
it?
The
Lord
said
to
me:
Go
up
against
this
land,
and
destroy
it.
\VS{11}And Eliacim,
and Sobna,
and Joahe
said
to Rabsaces:
Speak
to thy
servants
in
the Syrian tongue:
for
we
understand
it:
speak
not
to
us
in
the Jews’
language
in
the
hearing
of
the
people,
that
are
upon
the
wall.
\VS{12}And Rabsaces
said
to
them: Hath
my
master
sent
me
to thy
master
and
to thee,
to
speak
all
these
words;
and
not
rather
to
the
men
that
sit
on
the
wall;
that
they
may
eat
their
own
dung,
and
drink
their
urine
with
you?
\VS{13}Then Rabsaces
stood,
and
cried
out
with
a
loud
voice
in
the Jews’
language,
and
said:
Hear
the
words
of
the
great
king,
the
king
of
the Assyrians.
\VS{14}Thus saith
the
king:
Let
not Ezechias
deceive
you,
for
he
shall
not
be
able
to
deliver
you.
\VS{15}And
let
not Ezechias
make
you
trust
in
the
Lord,
saying:
The
Lord
will
surely
deliver
us,
and
this
city
shall
not
be
given
into
the
hands
of
the
king
of
the Assyrians.
\VS{16}Do
not hearken
to Ezechias:
for
thus
said
the
king
of
the Assyrians:
Do
with
me
that
which
is
for
your advantage,
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
water
of
his
cistern,
\VS{17}Till
I
come
and
take
you
away
to
a
land,
like
to
your own,
a
land
of corn
and
of
wine,
a
land
of
bread
and
vineyards.
\VS{18}Neither let Ezechias trouble
you,
saying:
The
Lord
will
deliver
us.
Have
any
of
the
gods
of
the
nations
delivered
their
land
out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
the Assyrians?
\VS{19}Where
is
the
god
of Emath
and
of Arphad?
where
is
the
god
of
Sepharvaim?
have
they
delivered
Samaria
out
of
my
hand?
\VS{20}Who
is
there
among
all
the
gods
of
these
lands,
that hath
delivered
his
country
out
of
my
hand,
that
the
Lord
may
deliver
Jerusalem
out
of
my
hand?
\VS{21}And
they held
their peace,
and
answered
him
not
a
word.
For
the
king
had
commanded,
saying:
answer
him
not.
\VS{22}And Eliacim
the
son
of Helcias,
that
was
over
the
house,
and Sobna
the
scribe,
and Joahe
the
son
of
Asaph
the
recorder,
went
in
to Ezechias
with
their
garments rent,
and
told
him
the
words
of Rabsaces.

\par }\Chap{37}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass,
when
king Ezechias
had
heard
it,
that
he rent
his
garments
and
covered himself
with
sackcloth,
and
went
into
the
house
of
the
Lord.
\VS{2}And
he
sent Eliacim
who
was
over
the
house,
and Sobna
the
scribe,
and
the ancients
of
the
priests
covered
with
sackcloth,
to Isaias
the
son
of Amos

\VS{3}And
they
said
to
him:
Thus saith Ezechias:
This
day
is
a
day
of tribulation,
and
of
rebuke,
and
of blasphemy:
for
the
children
are
come
to
the
birth,
and
there
is
not
strength
to
bring
forth.
\VS{4}It
may
be
the
Lord thy
God
will
hear
the
words
of Rabsaces,
whom
the
king
of
the Assyrians
his
master hath
sent
to blaspheme
the
living
God,
and
to
reproach
with
words
which
the
Lord thy
God hath
heard: wherefore
lift
up thy
prayer
for
the
remnant
that
is
left.
\VS{5}And
the
servants
of Ezechias
came
to Isaias.
\VS{6}And Isaias
said
to
them:
Thus
shall
you
say
to
your
master:
Thus saith
the
Lord:
Be
not
afraid
of
the
words
that thou hast
heard,
with
which
the
servants
of
the
king
of
the Assyrians
have
blasphemed
me.
\VS{7}Behold,
I
will
send
a
spirit
upon
him,
and
he
shall
hear
a
message,
and
shall
return
to
his own
country,
and
I
will
cause
him
to
fall
by
the
sword
in
his own
country.
\VS{8}And Rabsaces
returned,
and
found
the
king
of
the Assyrians
besieging Lobna.
For
he
had
heard
that
he
was
departed
from Lachis.
\VS{9}And
he
heard
say
about Tharaca
the
king
of
Ethiopia:
He
is
come
forth
to
fight
against thee.
And
when
he
heard
it,
he
sent
messengers
to Ezechias,
saying:
\VS{10}Thus
shall
you
speak
to Ezechias
the
king
of Juda,
saying:
Let
not thy
God
deceive thee,
in
whom thou trustest,
saying:
Jerusalem
shall
not
be
given
into
the
hands
of
the
king
of
the Assyrians.
\VS{11}Behold thou hast
heard
all
that
the
kings
of
the Assyrians hare
done
to
all
countries
which
they
have destroyed,
and canst thou
be
delivered?
\VS{12}Have
the
gods
of
the
nations
delivered
them
whom
my
fathers
have
destroyed, Gozam,
and Haram,
and Reseph,
and
the
children
of
Eden,
that
were
in Thalassar?
\VS{13}Where
is
the
king
of Emath,
and
the
king
of Arphad,
and
the
king
of
the
city
of
Sepharvaim,
of Ana,
and
of Ava?
\VS{14}And Ezechias
took
the
letter
from
the
hand
of
the
messengers,
and
read
it,
and
went
up
to
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and Ezechias
spread
it
before
the
Lord.
\VS{15}And Ezechias
prayed
to
the
Lord,
saying:
\VS{16}O
Lord
of
hosts,
God
of
Israel,
who sittest
upon
the cherubims, thou
alone art
the
God
of
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth, thou hast
made
heaven
and
earth.
\VS{17}Incline,
O
Lord, thy
ear,
and
hear:
open,
O
Lord, thy
eyes,
and
see,
and
hear
all
the
words
of
Sennacherib,
which
he hath
sent
to blaspheme
the
living
God.
\VS{18}For
of
a
truth,
O
Lord,
the
kings
of
the Assyrians
have laid waste
lands,
and
their
countries.
\VS{19}And
they
have
cast
their
gods
into
the
fire,
for
they
were
not
gods,
but
the
works
of
men’s
hands,
of
wood
and
stone:
and
they broke
them
in pieces.
\VS{20}And
now,
O
Lord
our
God,
save
us
out
of
his
hand:
and
let
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
know,
that thou
only art
the
Lord.
\VS{21}And Isaias
the
son
of
Amos
sent
to Ezechias,
saying:
Thus saith
the
Lord
the
God
of
Israel:
For
the prayer thou hast
made
to
me
concerning
Sennacherib
the
king
of
the Assyrians:
\VS{22}This
is
the
word
which
the
Lord hath
spoken
of
him:
The
virgin
the
daughter
of Sion hath
despised thee,
and laughed thee
to scorn:
the
daughter
of
Jerusalem hath wagged
the
head
after thee.
\VS{23}Whom hast thou reproached,
and
whom hast thou
blasphemed,
and
against
whom hast thou
exalted thy
voice,
and
lifted
up thy
eyes
on
high?
Against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
\VS{24}By
the
hand
of thy
servants thou hast reproached
the
Lord:
and hast
said:
With
the
multitude
of
my
chariots
I
have
gone
up
to
the
height
of
the
mountains,
to
the top
of Libanus:
and
I
will
out
down
its
tall
cedars,
and
its
choice
fir
trees,
and
will
enter
to
the top
of
its
height,
to
the
forest
of
its Carmel.
\VS{25}I
have digged,
and
drunk
water,
and
have dried
up
with
the
sole
of
my foot,
all
the
rivers shut
up
in banks.
\VS{26}Hast thou
not
heard
what
I
have
done
to
him
of old?
from
the
days
of old
I
have
formed
it:
and
now
I
have
brought
it
to
effect:
and
it hath
come
to
pass
that hills
fighting together,
and fenced
cities
should
be destroyed.
\VS{27}The
inhabitants
of
them
were weak
of
hand,
they trembled,
and
were
confounded:
they
became
like
the
grass
of
the
field,
and
the
herb
of
the
pasture,
and
like
the
grass
of
the
housetops,
which withered
before
it
was ripe.
\VS{28}I
know thy
dwelling,
and thy
going
out,
and thy
coming
in,
and thy rage
against
me.
\VS{29}When thou wast mad
against
me, thy pride
came
up
to
my
ears:
therefore
I
will
put
a ring
in thy
nose,
and
a
bit between thy
lips,
and
I
will
turn thee
back
by
the
way
by
which thou camest.
\VS{30}But
to thee
this
shall
be
a
sign:
Eat
this
year
the things
that spring
of themselves,
and
in
the
second
year
eat
fruits: but
in
the
third
year
sow
and
reap,
and giant
vineyards,
and
eat
the
fruit
of
them.
\VS{31}And
that
which
shall
be saved
of
the
house
of Juda,
and
which
is
left,
shall
take
root
downward,
and
shall bear
fruit
upward:
\VS{32}For
out
of
Jerusalem
shall
go
forth
a,
remnant,
and salvation
from
mount Sion:
the
zeal
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
shall
do
this.
\VS{33}Wherefore
thus saith
the
Lord
concerning
the
king
of
the Assyrians:
He
shall
not
come
into
this
city,
nor
shoot
an
arrow
into
it,
nor
come
before
it
with
shield,
nor
cast
a trench
about
it.
\VS{34}By
the
way
that
he
came,
he
shall
return,
and
into
this
city
he
shall
not
come, saith
the
Lord.
\VS{35}And
I
will
protect
this
city,
and
will
save
it
for
my own
sake,
and
for
the
sake
of
David
my
servant.
\VS{36}And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
went
out,
and
slew
in
the
camp
of
the Assyrians
a
hundred
and
eighty-five
thousand.
And
they
arose
in
the
morning,
and
behold
they
were
all
dead
corpses.
\VS{37}And
Sennacherib
the
king
of
the Assyrians
went
out
and
departed,
and
returned,
and
dwelt
in Ninive.
\VS{38}And
it
came
to
pass,
as
he
was worshipping
in
the
temple
of Nesroch
his
god,
that Adramelech
and Sarasar
his
sons
slew
him
with
the
sword:
and
they fled
into

stead.

off:
from morning
even
to
night thou wilt
make
an end
of
me.
\VS{13}I hoped
till
morning,
as
a
lion
so hath
he
broken
all
my
bones:
from
morning
even
to
night thou wilt make
an end
of
me.
\VS{14}I
will cry
like
a young
swallow,
I
will
meditate
like
a
dove:
my
eyes
are weakened looking upward:
Lord,
I suffer violence, answer thou
for
me.
\VS{15}What
shall
I
say,
or
what
shall
he
answer
for
me, whereas
he
himself hath
done
it?
I
will recount
to thee
all
my
years
in
the
bitterness
of
my
soul.
\VS{16}O
Lord, if man’s
life
be
such,
and
the
life
of
my
spirit
be
in
such
things as
these, thou shalt correct
me,
and make
me
to
live.
\VS{17}Behold
in
peace
is
my
bitterness most
bitter:
but thou best
delivered
my
soul
that
it
should
not perish, thou hast
cast
all
my
sins
behind thy
back.
\VS{18}For hell
shall
not
confess
to thee,
neither
shall
death
praise thee:
nor
shall
they
that
go
down
into
the
pit, look
for thy
truth.
\VS{19}The
living,
the
living,
he
shall
give
praise
to thee,
as
I do
this
day:
the
father
shall
make thy
truth
known
to
the
children.
\VS{20}O
Lord,
save
me,
and
we
will sing
our psalms
all
the
days
of
our
life
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
\VS{21}Now Isaias had
ordered
that
they
should
take
a lump
of
figs,
and lay
it as
it plaster
upon
the wound,
and
that
he
should
be healed.
\VS{22}And Ezechias bed
said:
What
shall
be
the
sign
that
I
shall
go
up
to
the
house
of
the
Lord?

\par }\Chap{39}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At
that
time Merodach
Baladan,
the
son
of
Baladan
king
of
Babylon,
sent
letters
and
presents
to Ezechias:
for
he
had
heard
that
he
had
been
sick
and
was
recovered.
\VS{2}And Ezechias
rejoiced
at
their coming,
and
he shewed
them
the
storehouses
of
his aromatical
spices,
and
of
the
silver,
and
of
the
gold,
and
of
the
sweet odours,
and
of
the precious
ointment,
and
all
the
storehouses
of
his
furniture,
and
all
things
that
were
found
in
his
treasures.
There
was
nothing
in
his
house,
nor
in
all
his
dominion
that Ezechias shewed
them
not.
\VS{3}Then Isaias
the
prophet
came
to
king Ezechias,
and
said
to
him:
What
said
these
men,
and
from whence
came
they
to thee?
And Ezechias
said:
From
a
far
country
they
came
to
me,
from
Babylon.
\VS{4}And
he
said:
What
saw
they
in thy
house?
And Ezechias
said:
All
things
that
are
in
my
house
have
they
seen,
there
was
not
any
thing
which
I
have
not shewn
them
in
my
treasures.
\VS{5}And Isaias
said
to Ezechias: Rear
the
word
of
the
Lord
of
hosts.
\VS{6}Behold
the
days
shall
come,
that
all
that
is
in thy
house,
and
that thy
fathers
have
laid
up
in
store
until
this
day,
shall
be
carried
away
into
Babylon:
there
shall
not
any
thing
be
left, saith
the
Lord.
\VS{7}And
of thy
children,
that
shall
issue
from thee,
whom thou shalt
beget,
they
shall
take
away,
and
they
shall
be
eunuchs
in
the
palace
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
\VS{8}And Ezechias
said
to Isaias:
The
word
of
the
Lord,
which
he hath
spoken,
is
good.
And
he
said:
Only
let
peace
and
truth
be
in
my
days.

\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Be
comforted,
be
comforted,
my
people, saith
your
God.
\VS{2}Speak ye
to
the
heart
of
Jerusalem,
and
call
to
her:
for
her
evil
is
come
to
an end,
her
iniquity
is forgiven:
she hath
received
of
the
hand
of
the
Lord
double
for
all
her
sins.
\VS{3}The
voice
of
one
crying
in
the
desert:
Prepare ye
the
way
of
the
Lord,
make
straight
in
the
wilderness
the
paths
of
our
God.
\VS{4}Every
valley
shall
be
exalted,
and
every
mountain
and
hill
shall
be
made
low,
and
the crooked
shall
become straight,
and
the rough ways
plain.
\VS{5}And
the
glory
of
the
Lord
shall
be
revealed,
and
all
flesh
together
shall
see,
that
the
mouth
of
the
Lord hath
spoken.
\VS{6}The
voice
of
one,
saying:
Cry.
And
I
said:
What
shall
I
cry?
All
flesh
is
grass,
and
all
the glory thereof
as
the
flower
of
the held.
\VS{7}The
grass
is
withered,
and
the dower
is fallen,
because
the
spirit
of
the
Lord hath blown
upon
it.
Indeed
the
people
is
grass:
\VS{8}The
grass
is
withered,
and
the
flower
is fallen: but
the
word
of
our Lord endureth
for
ever.
\VS{9}Get thee
up
upon
a
high
mountain, thou
that bringest
good
tidings
to Sion:
lift
up thy
voice
with
strength, thou
that bringest
good
tidings
to
Jerusalem:
lift
it
up,
fear
not.
Say
to
the
cities
of Juda:
Behold
your
God:
\VS{10}Behold
the
Lord
God
shall
come
with
strength,
and
his
arm
shall
rule:
Behold
his
reward
is
with
him
and
his
work
is
before
him.
\VS{11}He shall
feed
his
flock
like
a
shepherd:
he shall
gather
together
the
lambs
with
his
arm,
and shall
take
them
up
in
his
bosom,
and
he himself shall
carry
them that
are
with young.
\VS{12}Who hath
measured
the
waters
in
the
hollow
of
his
hand,
and
weighed
the
heavens
with
his palm?
who hath poised
with three fingers
the bulk
of
the
earth,
and
weighed
the
mountains
in
scales,
and
the
hills
in
a
balance?
\VS{13}Who hath forwarded
the
spirit
of
the
Lord?
or
who hath
been
his counsellor,

taught
him?
\VS{14}With
whom hath
he
consulted,
and
who hath
instructed
him,
and
taught
him
the
path
of
justice,
and
taught
him
knowledge,
and shewed
him
the
way
of
understanding?
\VS{15}Behold
the
Gentiles
are
as
a
drop
of
a
bucket,
and
are
counted
as
the smallest grain
of
a
balance:
behold
the
islands
are
as
a little
dust.
\VS{16}And Libanus
shall
not
be
enough
to
burn,
nor
the
beasts thereof
sufficient for
a
burnt offering.
\VS{17}All
nations
are
before
him
as if
they
had
no being
at
all,
and
are
counted
to
him
as
nothing,
and vanity.
\VS{18}To
whom
then have
you likened
God?
or
what
image
will
you
make
for
him?
\VS{19}Hath the workman cast
a
graven statue?
or hath the
goldsmith formed
it
with
gold,
or the
silversmith
with
plates
of
silver?
\VS{20}He hath
chosen strong
wood,
and
that
will
not
rot:
the
skillful workman seeketh how
he
may
set up
an
idol
that
may
not
be
moved.
\VS{21}Do
you
not
know? hath
it
not
been
heard? hath
it
not
been
told
you
from
the
beginning?
have
you
not
understood
the
foundations
of
the
earth?
\VS{22}It
is
he
that sitteth
upon
the globe
of
the
earth,
and
the
inhabitants thereof
are
as
locusts:
he
that stretcheth
out
the
heavens
as nothing,
and spreadeth
them
out
as
a
tent
to
dwell
in.
\VS{23}He
that bringeth
the searchers
of secrets
to
nothing,
that hath
made
the
judges
of
the
earth
as vanity.
\VS{24}And
surely
their
stock
was
neither
planted,
nor
sown,
nor rooted
in
the
earth: suddenly
he hath blown upon
them,
and
they
are
withered,
and
a whirlwind
shall
take
them
away
as
stubble.
\VS{25}And
to
whom have ye likened
me,
or made
me
equal, saith
the
Holy
One?
\VS{26}Lift
up
your
eyes
on
high,
and
see
who hath
created
these
things:
who bringeth
out
their
host
by
number,
and calleth
them
all
by
their
names:
by
the
greatness
of
his
might,
and
strength,
and
power,
not
one
of
them
was
missing.
\VS{27}Why sayest thou,
O
Jacob,
and speakest,
O
Israel:
My
way
is
hid
from
the
Lord,
and
my
judgment
is
passed
over
from
my
God?
\VS{28}Knowest thou
not,
or hast thou
not
heard?
the
Lord
is
the
everlasting
God,
who hath
created
the
ends
of
the
earth:
he
shall
not faint,
nor labour,
neither
is
there
any
searching
out
of
his
wisdom.
\VS{29}It
is
he
that giveth
strength
to
the
weary,
and increaseth force
and
might
to
them
that
are
not.
\VS{30}Youths shall faint,
and labour,
and
young
men shall
fall
by infirmity.
\VS{31}But
they
that
hope
in
the
Lord
shall renew
their
strength,
they
shall
take
wings
as
eagles,
they
shall
run
and
not

weary,
they
shall walk
and
not faint.

to

You
are
our

blind,
behold
that

may
see.
\VS{19}Who
is
blind,

my

sent
my

that

the

\VS{20}Thou
that seest
many
things, wilt thou
not
observe
them? thou
that hast
ears
open, wilt thou
not
hear?
\VS{21}And
the
Lord
was willing
to sanctify
him,
and
to
magnify
the
law,
and
exalt
it.
\VS{22}But
this
is
a
people
that
is robbed
and wasted:
they
are
all
the snare
of young
men,
and
they
are
hid
in
the
houses
of
prisons:
they
are
made
a
prey,
and
there
is
none
to
deliver
them:
a
spoil,
and
there
is
none
that saith:
Restore.
\VS{23}Who
is
there
among
you
that
will
give
ear
to
this,
that
will attend
and hearken
for times
to come?
\VS{24}Who hath
given
Jacob
for
a
spoil,
and
Israel
to robbers? hath
not
the
Lord
himself,
against
whom
we
have
sinned?
And
they
would
not
walk
in
his
ways,
and
they
have
not hearkened
to
his
law.
\VS{25}And
he hath
poured
out
upon
him
the indignation
of
his
fury,
and
a strong
battle,
and hath burnt
him
round
about,
and
he
knew
not:
and
set
him
on
fire,
and
he
understood
not.

shall
not

are
their
witnesses,

not
see,
nor

that
they
may
be
ashamed.

formed
a

and
made
a
graven thing
that
is
profitable for
nothing?

all

for
the makers
are
men:
they
shall
all
assemble
together,
they
shall
stand
and
fear,
and
shall
be
confounded

\VS{12}The
smith hath
wrought
with
his file,
with
coals,

hammers
he hath
formed

wrought
with

strength

his
arm:
he
shall
hunger
and faint,
he
shall
drink
no

and
shall
be
weary.
\VS{13}The carpenter hath
stretched
out
his
rule,
he hath formed
it
with
a plane:
he hath
made
it
with corners,
and hath
fashioned
it round
with
the
compass:
and
he hath
made
the
image
of
a
man
as
it
were
a
beautiful
man
dwelling
in
a
house.
\VS{14}He hath
cut
down
cedars,
taken
the holm,
and
the
oak that stood among
the
trees
of
the
forest:
he hath
planted
the pine
tree,
which
the
rain hath nourished.
\VS{15}And
it hath
served
men
for fuel:
he
took thereof,
and
warmed
himself:
and
he kindled
it,
and
baked
bread:
but
of
the
rest
he
made
a
god,
and adored
it:
he
made
a
graven thing,
and
bowed
down before
it.
\VS{16}Part
of
it
he
burnt
with
fire,
and
with
part
of
it
he dressed
his
meat:
he boiled pottage,

was
filled,
and
was
warmed,
and
said:
Aha,
I am
warm,
I
have
seen
the
fire.
\VS{17}But
the residue thereof
he
made
a
god,

a
graven

down

it,
and prayeth unto
it,
saying:
Deliver
me,
for thou art
my
God.

with
their
heart.
\VS{19}They
do
not
consider
in
their
mind,
nor
know,
nor
have
the
thought
to
say:
I
have
burnt

in
the
fire,

I
have
baked
bread
upon
the
coals thereof:
I
have broiled
flesh
and
have
eaten,

the residue thereof
shall
I
make
an
idol?
shall
I
fall
down
before
the stock
of
a
tree?
\VS{20}Part thereof
is
ashes:
his foolish
heart adoreth
it,
and
he
will
not
save
his
soul,
nor
say: Perhaps there
is
a
lie
in
my
right
hand.

these
things,
O
Jacob,
and
Israel,
for thou art
my
servant.

have
formed thee, thou art
my
servant,
O

me
not.

have blotted
out thy iniquities
as
a
cloud,
and thy
sins
as
a
mist:
return
to
me,
for
I
have
redeemed thee.

mercy:

stretch
out

establish

make void

make

turn

backward,

that,
make

foolish.

of heavy weight even unto weariness.
\VS{2}They
are consumed,
and
are broken
together:
they
could
not
save
him
that
carried
them,
and
they
themselves
shall
go
into
captivity.
\VS{3}Hearken unto
me,
O
house
of
Jacob,
all
the
remnant
of
the
house
of
Israel,
who
are
carried
by
my bowels,
are
borne
up
by
my
womb.
\VS{4}Even
to
your
old
age
I
am
the
same,
and
to
your grey
hairs
I
will
carry
you:
I
have
made
you,
and
I
will
bear:
I
will
carry
and
will
save.
\VS{5}To
whom have you likened
me, and made
me
equal, and
compared
me, and made
me
like?
\VS{6}You
that contribute
gold
out
of
the
bag,
and
weigh
out
silver
in
the scales:
and
hire
a
goldsmith
to
make
a
god:
and
they
fall
down
and
worship.
\VS{7}They
bear
him
on
their
shoulders
and
carry
him,
and
set
him
in
his piece,
and
he
shall
stand,
and
shall
not stir
out
of
his
place. Yea,
when
they
shall
cry
also unto
him,
he
shall
not hear:
he
shall
not
save
them
from tribulation.
\VS{8}Remember
this,
and
be ashamed:
return, ye
transgressors,
to
the
heart.
\VS{9}Remember
the
former age,
for
I
am
God,
and
there
is
no
God beside,
neither
is
there
the
like
to
me:
\VS{10}Who shew
from
the
beginning
the
things
that
shall
be
at
last,
and
from ancient times
the
things
that
as
yet
are
not
done,
saying:
My
counsel
shall
stand,
and
all
my
will
shall
be
done:
\VS{11}Who
call
a
bird
from
the
east,
and
from
a
far
country
the
man
of
my
own
will,
and
I
have
spoken,
and
will
bring
it
to
pass:
I
have
created,
and
I
will
do
it. Hear
me, O ye hardhearted,
who
are
far
from justice.
\VS{12}I
have brought
my
justice near,
it
shall not
be
afar
off:
and
my salvation
shall not tarry.
I
will
give salvation
in Sion,
and
my glory
in Israel.

\VS{6}I
was
angry
with

I

my

have
given
them
into thy bend: thou hast shewn
no

them:
upon

laid thy
yoke
exceeding
heavy.
\VS{7}And thou hast
said:
I

be
a lady
for

not
laid
these
things
to thy

neither hast thou
remembered thy
latter
end.

hear
these

that art delicate,

and
there
is
none
else
besides
me:
I
shall
not

and
I
shall
not

two
things
shall
come

suddenly
in

and
widowhood.
All
things
are

upon thee,
because
of
the

for
the
great hardness
of thy enchanters.
\VS{10}And thou best
trusted
in thy
wickedness,
and hast
said:
There

none
that seeth

wisdom,
and thy
knowledge,
this hath deceived thee.
And thou best
said
in thy
heart:
I

and
with
the
multitude
of thy
sorceries,
in
which thou hast laboured
from thy
youth,
if
so
be
it
may
profit thee any
thing,
or
if thou mayst
become stronger.
\VS{13}Thou hast failed
in
the

they
that gazed
at
the
stars,
and counted

that
from

they

tell

come
forth
out
of
the
waters
of Juda,
you
who
swear
by
the
name
of
the
Lord,
and
make
mention
of
the
God
of

not

I

them
to be

them
suddenly

I knew
that thou art
stubborn,

is
as

of old,

I
told thee,
lest thou shouldst
say:
My
idols
have
done these things,
and
my
graven
and molten things
have
commanded
them.
\VS{6}See
now
all
the
things which thou hast
heard:
but
have
you
declared
them?
I
have shewn thee
new
things
from
that

things
are
kept which thou knowest
not:
\VS{7}They
are
created
now,

not
of

and
before
the
day,
when thou heardest
them
not,
lest thou shouldst
say:
Behold
I
knew
them.
\VS{8}Thou hast
neither
heard,
nor
known,
neither
was thy
ear
opened
of old.
For
I
know
that
transgressing thou wilt
transgress,
and
I
have
called thee
a transgressor
from
the
womb.
\VS{9}For
my
name’s

I
will remove
my
wrath far
off:
and
for
my

I

perish.

chosen thee
in

of poverty.

was
there,

his
spirit.

I
am
the

God
that
teach thee
profitable

that thou walkest.

to
my
commandments: thy
peace
had
been
as

as

of

he hath
been
mindful

he hath
made
my
mouth
like
a

be
my
servant
to
raise
up

that
is merciful
to

to
me,
you
that
follow
that which
is
just,

the
Lord:
look unto
the
rock whence
you
are
hewn,
and
to
the hole
of
the
pit
from which
you
are
dug
out.

Abraham
your

to Sara
that bore
you:

I
called
him
alone,

blessed
him,

therefore
will
comfort Sion,
and

comfort

and
he
will
make
her

as
a

of
pleasure,

her
wilderness
as

me, O

go
forth
from

singing

I
myself
will
comfort
you:
who art thou,
that thou shouldst
be
afraid
of
a
mortal
man,
and
of
the
son
of
man,
who
shall wither away
like
grass?
\VS{13}And thou hast
forgotten
the
Lord thy maker,
who
stretched
out
the
heavens,

founded
the
earth:
and thee hast
been
afraid
continually
all
the
day
at
the
presence
of
his
fury
who afflicted thee,

had
prepared
himself
to
destroy thee:
where
is
now

oppressor?

quickly come
that

destruction,
neither

fail.

have
put
my
words
in thy

have protected thee
in
the
shadow
of
my
hand,
that thou mightest
plant
the

found
the

say
to Sion: Thou art

up,

at

his
wrath; thou hast
drunk

that she hath
brought
forth:

there
is
none
that taketh
her
by
the
hand among
all
the

brought
up.

are
two
things
that

happened
to thee:

destruction,

slept
at

as
the wild ox
that

full
of
the indignation
of
the
Lord,
of
the
rebuke
of thy
God.
\VS{21}Therefore
hear
this, thou
poor little
one,
and thou
that art
drunk
but
no
with
wine.
\VS{22}Thus saith thy Sovereign
the
Lord
and thy
God,
who
will
fight
for
his

Behold
I
have
taken
out
of thy
hand
the
cup
of dead sleep,
the
dregs
of
the
cup
of
my indignation, thou shalt
not
drink
it
again
any
more.
\VS{23}And
I
will
put
it
in
the
hand
of
them
that
have oppressed thee,
and
have
said
to thy
soul:
Bow
down,
that
we
may
go
over:

as

that went
over.

as
a
tender plant
before

out

ground:
there
is
no beauty
in

a

of
sorrows,

acquainted
with infirmity:

despised, whereupon we
esteemed
him
not.

borne

carried
our
sorrows:

as
one
struck
by

afflicted.

he
was
wounded

iniquities,

upon
him,

his bruises we
are
healed.

like
sheep
have
gone
astray,

one hath
turned aside
into

on
him
the
iniquity
of
us
all.

was offered
because
it
was

to
the

be dumb
as
a
lamb
before

he
shall
not
open

was
taken
away
from distress,

from
judgment:
who
shall declare
his
generation?
because
he
is
cut
off
out
of

for
the wickedness
of
my

have
I struck
him.
\VS{9}And
he
shall
give
the
ungodly
for
his
burial,
and
the
rich
for
his
death:
because
he hath
done
no iniquity,
neither
was there
deceit
in
his
mouth.

the
Lord
was
pleased
to bruise
him
in infirmity:
if
he
shall
lay
down
his
life
for
sin,
he
shall
see
a long-lived
seed,
and
the

of
the
Lord
shall
be

his
soul hath laboured,
he
shall
see
and
be
filled:
by
his

shall
this
my

justify
many,
and
he
shall
bear
their
iniquities.
\VS{12}Therefore
will
I distribute
to
him
very
many,

shall
divide
the
spoils

he hath delivered
his
soul unto
death,

was reputed
with

borne

for

been

been solicitous

\VS{2}But
your

have
divided
between
you
and
your

and
your

have
hid
his

from
you
that

are
defiled
with

spoken

and
your

none
that calleth
upon
justice,
neither

one
that judgeth truly:
but

woven

iniquity
is
in

feet
run
to
evil,

make
haste

shed
innocent

destruction
are

judgment
far

we
have groped as if

roar

none:
for
salvation,
and
it
is
far
from
us.

our
iniquities
are
multiplied
before thee,
and
our

have testified
against

for
our wicked doings
are
with

we
have
known
our
iniquities:

and
lying
against
the
Lord:

we

away
so
that
we went not
after

spoke calumny
and
transgression:
we
have
conceived,
and
uttered
from
the
heart,
words
of
falsehood.

judgment
is turned
away
backward,
and
justice hath
stood
far
off:
because
truth bath
fallen
down
in
the
street,
and
equity
could
not
come
in.
\VS{15}And
truth hath
been forgotten:
and
he
that
departed
from
evil,
lay open
to
be
a prey:
and
the
Lord
saw,
and
it
appeared
evil
in
his
eyes,
because
there
is
no
judgment.
\VS{16}And
he
saw
that
there
is
not
a
man:
and
he stood
astonished,
because
there
is
none
to oppose
himself:
and
his
own
arm
brought
salvation
to
him,
and
his
own
justice supported
him.
\VS{17}He
put
on
justice as
a
breastplate,
and
a
helmet
of
salvation
upon
his
head:
he
put
on
the
garments
of
vengeance,
and
was clad
with
zeal as
with
a cloak.
\VS{18}As unto revenge, as
it
were
to
repay
wrath
to

a

to

enemies:
he
will
repay

children,
myself
bring
forth, saith
the
Lord?
shall
I,
that
give generation
to others,
be barren, saith
the
Lord thy
God?
\VS{10}Rejoice
with
Jerusalem,
and
be
glad
with
her,
all
you
that
love
her:
rejoice
for
joy
with
her,
all
you
that
mourn
for
her.
\VS{11}That you
may
suck,
and
be
filled
with
the
breasts
of
her
consolations:
that you
may milk
out,
and flow
with delights, from
the
abundance
of
her
glory.
\VS{12}For
thus saith
the
Lord:
Behold
I
will
bring
upon
her
as
it
were
a
river
of
peace,
and
as
an
overflowing torrent
the
glory
of
the
Gentiles,
which
you
shall
suck;
you
shall
be
carried
at
the
breasts,
and
upon
the
knees
they
shall caress
you.
\VS{13}As
one
whom
the
mother caresseth,
so
will
I
comfort
you,
and
you
shall
be
comforted
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{14}You
shall
see
and
your
heart
shall
rejoice,
and
your
bones
shall flourish
like
an
herb,
and
the
hand
of
the
Lord
shall
be
known
to
his
servants,
and
he
shall
be
angry
with
his
enemies.
\VS{15}For
behold
the
Lord
will
come
with
fire,
and
his
chariots
are
like
a whirlwind,
to
render
his
wrath
in indignation,
and
his
rebuke
with
flames
of
fire.
\VS{16}For
the
Lord
shall
judge
by
fire,
and
by
his
sword unto
all
flesh,
and
the
slain
of
the
Lord
shall
be
many.
\VS{17}They
that were
sanctified,
and thought
themselves
clean
in
the
gardens
behind
the gate
within,
they
that did
eat
swine’s
flesh,
and
the abomination,
and
the
mouse:
they
shall
be
consumed
together, saith
the
Lord.
\VS{18}But
I know
their
works,
and
their
thoughts:
I
come
that
I
may
gather
them
together
with
all
nations
and
tongues:
and
they
shall
come
and
shall
see
my
glory.
\VS{19}And
I
will
set
a
sign
among
them,
and
I
will
send
of
them
that
shall
be saved,
to
the
Gentiles
into
the
sea,
into Africa,
and Lydia
them
that
draw
the
bow:
into Italy,
and
Greece,
to
the
islands
afar
off,
to
them
that
have
not
heard
of
me,
and
have
not
seen
my
glory.
And
they
shall
declare
my
glory
to
the
Gentiles:
\VS{20}And
they
shall
bring
all
your
brethren
out
of
all
nations
for
a
gift
to
the
Lord,
upon
horses,
and
in
chariots,
and
in litters,
and
on
mules,
and
in coaches,
to
my
holy
mountain
Jerusalem, saith
the
Lord,
as
if
the
children
of
Israel
should
bring
an
offering
in
a
clean
vessel
into
the
house
of
the
Lord.
\VS{21}And
I
will
take
of
them
to
be
priests,
and
Levites, saith
the
Lord.
\VS{22}For
as
the
new
heavens,
and
the
new
earth,
which
I
will
make
to
stand
before
me, saith
the
Lord:
so
shall
your
seed
stand,
and
your
name.
\VS{23}And
there
shall
be
month
after
month,
and
sabbath
after
sabbath:
and
all
flesh
shall
come
to adore
before
my
face, saith
the
Lord.
\VS{24}And
they
shall
go
out,
and
see
the
carcasses
of
the
men
that
have
transgressed
against
me:
their worm
shall
not
die,
and
their
fire
shall
not
be
quenched:
and
they
shall
be
a loathsome sight
to
all
flesh.
