{\MT The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
vision of
Isaiah the
son of
Amoz, which he
saw concerning
Judah and
Jerusalem in the
days of
Uzziah,
Jotham,
Ahaz,
{\ADD{and}}
Hezekiah,
kings of
Judah.
\par }{\PP \VS{2}Hear, O
heavens, and give
ear, O
earth: for the
{\ND{
LORD}} hath
spoken, I have
nourished and brought
up
children, and they have
rebelled against me.
\VS{3}The
ox
knoweth his
owner, and the
ass his
master’s
crib:
{\ADD{but}}
Israel doth not
know, my
people doth not
consider.
\VS{4}Ah
sinful
nation, a
people
laden with
iniquity, a
seed of
evildoers,
children that are
corrupters: they have
forsaken the
{\ND{
LORD}}, they have
provoked the Holy
One of
Israel unto
anger, they are gone
away
backward.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:4 }
laden: Heb. of heaviness}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:4 }
gone…: Heb. alienated, or, separated}
\par }{\PP \VS{5}¶ Why should ye be
stricken any more? ye will
revolt more and
more: the whole
head is
sick, and the whole
heart
faint.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:5 }
revolt…: Heb. increase revolt}
\VS{6}From the
sole of the
foot even unto the
head
{\ADD{there is}} no
soundness in it;
{\ADD{but}}
wounds, and
bruises, and
putrifying
sores: they have not been
closed, neither bound
up, neither
mollified with
ointment.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:6 }
ointment: or, oil}
\VS{7}Your
country
{\ADD{is}}
desolate, your
cities
{\ADD{are}}
burned with
fire: your
land,
strangers
devour it in your presence, and
{\ADD{it is}}
desolate, as
overthrown by
strangers.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:7 }
overthrown…: Heb. the overthrow of}
\VS{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.
\VS{9}Except the
{\ND{
LORD}} of
hosts had
left unto us a very
small
remnant, we should have
been as
Sodom,
{\ADD{and}} we should have been
like unto
Gomorrah.
\par }{\PP \VS{10}¶
Hear the
word of the
{\ND{
LORD}}, ye
rulers of
Sodom; give
ear unto the
law of our
God, ye
people of
Gomorrah.
\VS{11}To
what purpose
{\ADD{is}} the
multitude of your
sacrifices unto me?
saith the
{\ND{
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.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:11 }
he goats: Heb. great he goats}
\VS{12}When ye
come to
appear
before me, who hath
required this at your
hand, to
tread my
courts?\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:12 }
to appear: Heb. to be seen}
\VS{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;
{\ADD{it is}}
iniquity, even the solemn
meeting.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:13 }
iniquity: or, grief}
\VS{14}Your new
moons and your appointed
feasts my
soul
hateth: they are a
trouble unto me; I am
weary to
bear
{\ADD{them}}.
\VS{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.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:15 }
make…: Heb. multiply prayer}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:15 }
blood: Heb. bloods}
\par }{\PP \VS{16}¶
Wash you, make you
clean; put
away the
evil of your
doings from
before mine
eyes;
cease to do
evil;
\VS{17}Learn to do
well;
seek
judgment,
relieve the
oppressed,
judge the
fatherless,
plead for the
widow.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:17 }
relieve: or, righten}
\VS{18}Come
now, and let us reason
together,
saith the
{\ND{
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.
\VS{19}If ye be
willing and
obedient, ye shall
eat the
good of the
land:
\VS{20}But if ye
refuse and
rebel, ye shall be
devoured with the
sword: for the
mouth of the
{\ND{
LORD}} hath
spoken
{\ADD{it}}.
\par }{\PP \VS{21}¶ How is the
faithful
city become an
harlot! it was
full of
judgment;
righteousness
lodged in it; but now
murderers.
\VS{22}Thy
silver is become
dross, thy
wine
mixed with
water:
\VS{23}Thy
princes
{\ADD{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.
\VS{24}Therefore
saith the
Lord, the
{\ND{
LORD}} of
hosts, the mighty
One of
Israel,
Ah, I will
ease me of mine
adversaries, and
avenge me of mine
enemies:
\par }{\PP \VS{25}¶ And I will
turn my
hand upon thee, and
purely purge
away thy
dross, and take
away all thy
tin:\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:25 }
purely: Heb. according to pureness}
\VS{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.
\VS{27}Zion shall be
redeemed with
judgment, and her
converts with
righteousness.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:27 }
her…: or, they that return of her}
\par }{\PP \VS{28}¶ And the
destruction of the
transgressors and of the
sinners
{\ADD{shall be}}
together, and they that
forsake the
{\ND{
LORD}} shall be
consumed.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:28 }
destruction: Heb. breaking}
\VS{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.
\VS{30}For ye shall be as an
oak whose
leaf
fadeth, and as a
garden that hath no
water.
\VS{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
{\ADD{them}}.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:31 }
maker…: or, and his work}

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word that
Isaiah the
son of
Amoz
saw concerning
Judah and
Jerusalem.
\VS{2}And it shall come to pass in the
last
days,
{\ADD{that}} the
mountain of the
{\ND{
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.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:2 }
established: or, prepared}
\VS{3}And
many
people shall
go and
say,
Come ye, and let us go
up to the
mountain of the
{\ND{
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
{\ND{
LORD}} from
Jerusalem.
\VS{4}And he shall
judge among the
nations, and shall
rebuke
many
people: and they shall
beat their
swords into
plowshares, and their
spears into
pruninghooks:

up

learn
war any more.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:4 }
pruninghooks: or, scythes}
\VS{5}O
house of
Jacob,
come ye, and let us
walk in the
light of the
{\ND{
LORD}}.
\par }{\PP \VS{6}¶ Therefore thou hast
forsaken thy
people the
house of
Jacob, because they be
replenished from the
east, and
{\ADD{are}}
soothsayers like the
Philistines, and they
please themselves in the
children of
strangers.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 2:6 }
from…: or, more than the}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2:6 }

land also is
full of
silver and
gold, neither
{\ADD{is there any}}
end of their
treasures; their
land is also
full of
horses, neither
{\ADD{is there any}}
end of their
chariots:
\VS{8}Their
land also is
full of
idols; they
worship the
work of their own
hands, that which their own
fingers have
made:
\VS{9}And the mean
man boweth
down, and the great
man
humbleth himself: therefore
forgive them not.
\par }{\PP \VS{10}¶
Enter into the
rock, and
hide thee in the
dust,
for
fear of the
{\ND{
LORD}}, and for the
glory of his
majesty.
\VS{11}The
lofty
looks of
man shall be
humbled, and the
haughtiness of
men shall be bowed
down, and the
{\ND{
LORD}} alone shall be
exalted in that
day.
\VS{12}For the
day of the
{\ND{
LORD}} of
hosts
{\ADD{shall be}} upon every
{\ADD{one that is}}
proud and
lofty, and upon every
{\ADD{one that is}} lifted
up; and he shall be brought
low:
\VS{13}And upon all the
cedars of
Lebanon,
{\ADD{that are}}
high and lifted
up, and upon all the
oaks of
Bashan,

exalted in that

utterly
abolish.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:18 }

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

of the earth: Heb. of the dust}
\VS{20}In that
day a
man shall
cast his
idols of
silver, and his
idols of
gold, which they made
{\ADD{each one}} for
himself to
worship, to the
moles and to the
bats;\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2:20 }

earth.
\VS{22}Cease ye from
man, whose
breath
{\ADD{is}} in his
nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted
of?

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}For, behold, the
Lord, the
{\ND{
LORD}} of
hosts, doth take
away from
Jerusalem and from
Judah the
stay and the
staff, the whole
stay of
bread, and the
whole
stay of
water,
\VS{2}The mighty
man, and the
man of
war, the
judge, and the
prophet, and the
prudent, and the
ancient,
\VS{3}The
captain of
fifty, and the
honourable
man, and the
counsellor, and the
cunning
artificer, and the
eloquent
orator.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3:3 }
the honourable…: Heb. a man eminent in countenance}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 3:3 }
eloquent…: or, skilful of speech}
\VS{4}And I will
give
children
{\ADD{to be}} their
princes, and
babes shall
rule over them.
\VS{5}And the
people shall be
oppressed, every
one by
another, and every
one by his
neighbour: the
child shall behave himself
proudly against the
ancient, and the
base against the
honourable.
\VS{6}When a
man shall take
hold of his
brother of the
house of his
father,
{\ADD{saying}}, Thou hast
clothing, be thou our
ruler, and
{\ADD{let}} this
ruin
{\ADD{be}} under thy
hand:
\VS{7}In that
day shall he
swear,
saying, I will not be an
healer; for in my
house
{\ADD{is}} neither
bread nor
clothing:
make me not a
ruler of the
people.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 3:7 }
swear: Heb. lift up the hand}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 3:7 }
healer: Heb. binder up}
\VS{8}For
Jerusalem is
ruined, and
Judah is
fallen: because their
tongue and their
doings
{\ADD{are}} against the
{\ND{
LORD}}, to
provoke the
eyes of his
glory.
\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ The
shew of their
countenance doth witness against
them; and they
declare their
sin as
Sodom, they
hide
{\ADD{it}} not.
Woe unto their
soul! for they have
rewarded
evil unto themselves.
\VS{10}Say ye to the
righteous, that
{\ADD{it shall be}}
well

eat the
fruit of their
doings.

up to
plead, and
standeth to
judge the
people.
\VS{14}The
{\ND{
LORD}} will
enter into
judgment with the
ancients of his
people, and the
princes thereof: for ye have eaten
up the
vineyard; the
spoil of the
poor
{\ADD{is}} in your
houses.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 3:14 }
eaten: or, burnt}
\VS{15}What mean ye
{\ADD{that}} ye
beat my
people to
pieces, and
grind the
faces of the
poor?
saith the
Lord
{\ND{
GOD}} of
hosts.
\par }{\PP \VS{16}¶ Moreover the
{\ND{
LORD}}
saith,
Because the

Zion are
haughty, and
walk with stretched

tinkling with their
feet:\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3:16 }

scab the crown of the
head of the
daughters of
Zion, and the
{\ND{
LORD}} will
discover their secret
parts.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 3:17 }
discover: Heb. make naked}
\VS{18}In that
day the
Lord will take
away the
bravery of

ornaments

cauls, and

jewels,

mantles, and the
wimples, and the crisping
pins,
\VS{23}The
glasses, and the fine
linen, and the
hoods, and the
vails.
\VS{24}And it shall come to pass,
{\ADD{that}} instead of sweet
smell there shall be
stink; and instead of a
girdle a
rent; and instead of well
set
hair
baldness; and instead of a
stomacher a
girding of
sackcloth;
{\ADD{and}}
burning instead of
beauty.
\VS{25}Thy
men shall
fall by the
sword, and thy
mighty in the
war.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 3:25 }

purged the

spirit of
judgment, and by the
spirit of

create upon every dwelling
