Isahia 29-66
Isa 29:1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add
ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
Isa 29:2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness
and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
Isa 29:3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay
siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against
thee.
Isa 29:4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of
the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy
voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the
ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
Isa 29:5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like
small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff
that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
Isa 29:6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder,
and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and
the flame of devouring fire.
Isa 29:7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against
Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that
distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
Isa 29:8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and,
behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as
when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh,
and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the
multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Isa 29:9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they
are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong
drink.
Isa 29:10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep
sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers,
the seers hath he covered.
Isa 29:11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words
of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned,
saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is
sealed:
Isa 29:12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned,
saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw
near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but
have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is
taught by the precept
of men:
Isa 29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous
work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for
the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding
of their prudent men shall be hid.
Isa 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from
the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth
us? and who knoweth us?
Isa 29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed
as the
potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made
me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He
had no understanding?
Isa 29:17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall
be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be
esteemed as a forest?
Isa 29:18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the
book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and
out of darkness.
Isa 29:19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and
the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 29:20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner
is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
Isa 29:21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare
for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for
a thing of nought.
Isa 29:22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham,
concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither
shall his face now wax pale.
Isa 29:23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands,
in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the
Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
Isa 29:24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding,
and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take
counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not
of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Isa 30:2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at
my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and
to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
Isa 30:3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame,
and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Isa 30:4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came
to Hanes.
Isa 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.
Isa 30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of
trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the
viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon
the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches
of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
Isa 30:7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose:
therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit
still.
Isa 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in
a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
Isa 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children
that will not hear the law of the LORD:
Isa 30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets,
Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things,
prophesy deceits:
Isa 30:11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause
the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Isa 30:12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because
ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness,
and stay thereon:
Isa 30:13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready
to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly
at an instant.
Isa 30:14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters'
vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there
shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from
the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
Isa 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel;
In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence
shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Isa 30:16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore
shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall
they that pursue you be swift.
Isa 30:17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the
rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the
top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
Isa 30:18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious
unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy
upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they
that wait for him.
Isa 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou
shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice
of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
Isa 30:20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity,
and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed
into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
Isa 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying,
This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand,
and when ye turn to the left.
Isa 30:22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images
of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt
cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get
thee hence.
Isa 30:23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt
sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and
it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed
in large pastures.
Isa 30:24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground
shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel
and with the fan.
Isa 30:25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon
every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the
great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Isa 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light
of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the
light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach
of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Isa 30:27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning
with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full
of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
Isa 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.
Isa 30:29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity
is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to
come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
Isa 30:30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard,
and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation
of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering,
and tempest, and hailstones.
Isa 30:31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian
be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
Isa 30:32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass,
which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and
harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
Isa 30:33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is
prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire
and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone,
doth kindle it.
Isa 31:1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on
horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen,
because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One
of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 31:4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion
and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds
is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice,
nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts
come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
Isa 31:5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem;
defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve
it.
Isa 31:6 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have
deeply revolted.
Isa 31:7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of
silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto
you for a sin.
Isa 31:8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a
mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him:
but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
Isa 31:9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and
his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose
fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Isa 32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes
shall rule in judgment.
Isa 32:2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and
a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as
the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Isa 32:3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the
ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Isa 32:4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge,
and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Isa 32:5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the
churl said to be bountiful.
Isa 32:6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart
will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against
the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause
the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Isa 32:7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth
wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the
needy speaketh right.
Isa 32:8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal
things shall he stand.
Isa 32:9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye
careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Isa 32:10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless
women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Isa 32:11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless
ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your
loins.
Isa 32:12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine.
Isa 32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers;
yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
Isa 32:14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude
of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens
for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Isa 32:15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and
the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted
for a forest.
Isa 32:16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness
remain in the fruitful field.
Isa 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the
effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Isa 32:18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation,
and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
Isa 32:19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the
city shall be low in a low place.
Isa 32:20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send
forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
Isa 33:1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled;
and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with
thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and
when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal
treacherously with thee.
Isa 33:2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee:
be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time
of trouble.
Isa 33:3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting
up of thyself the nations were scattered.
Isa 33:4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of
the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run
upon them.
Isa 33:5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath
filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
Isa 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy
times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Isa 33:7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors
of peace shall weep bitterly.
Isa 33:8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he
hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth
no man.
Isa 33:9 The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed
and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel
shake off their fruits.
Isa 33:10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted;
now will I lift up myself.
Isa 33:11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble:
your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
Isa 33:12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns
cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
Isa 33:13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye
that are near, acknowledge my might.
Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised
the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isa 33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;
he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands
from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood,
and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
Isa 33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be
the munitions
of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Isa 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall
behold the land that is very far off.
Isa 33:18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe?
where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
Isa 33:19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper
speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou
canst not understand.
Isa 33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes
shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall
not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed,
neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
Isa 33:21 But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of
broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars,
neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
Isa 33:22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our king; he will save us.
Isa 33:23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen
their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of
a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
Isa 33:24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people
that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Isa 34:1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people:
let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all
things that come forth of it.
Isa 34:2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and
his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them,
he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Isa 34:3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall
come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted
with their blood.
Isa 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the
heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host
shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a
falling fig from the fig tree.
Isa 34:5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall
come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
Isa 34:6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made
fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the
fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah,
and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
Isa 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks
with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their
dust made fat with fatness.
Isa 34:8 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year
of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
Isa 34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and
the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become
burning pitch.
Isa 34:10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof
shall go up
for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none
shall pass through it for ever and ever.
Isa 34:11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the
owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out
upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
Isa 34:12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but
none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
Isa 34:13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and
brambles in the
fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and
a court for owls.
Isa 34:14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the
wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow;
the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place
of rest.
Isa 34:15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and
hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also
be gathered, every one with her mate.
Isa 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one
of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath
commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
Isa 34:17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath
divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from
generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
Isa 35:1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for
them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Isa 35:2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy
and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency
of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and
the excellency of our God.
Isa 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
Isa 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear
not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a
recompence; he will come and save you.
Isa 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears
of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Isa 35:6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue
of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out,
and streams in the desert.
Isa 35:7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty
land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each
lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
Isa 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall
be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it;
but it shall be
for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
Isa 35:9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go
up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall
walk there:
Isa 35:10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to
Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall
obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 36:14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for
he shall not be able to deliver you.
Isa 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.
Isa 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;
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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?
Isa 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?
Isa 36:21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word:
for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 37:5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 37:8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring
against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Isa 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,
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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?
Isa 37:13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad,
and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
Isa 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.
Isa 37:15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 37:18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste
all the nations, and their countries,
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 37:28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming
in, and thy rage against me.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah
shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 37:34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return,
and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
Isa 37:35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake,
and for my servant David's sake.
Isa 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.
Isa 37:37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and
returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Isa 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
Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
Isa 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.
Isa 38:2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed
unto the LORD,
Isa 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.
Isa 38:4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 38:7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that
the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
Isa 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.
Isa 38:9 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been
sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 38:21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and
lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
Isa 38:22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall
go up to the house of the LORD?
Isa 39:1 At that time Merodach-baladan, 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.
Isa 39:2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house
of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices,
and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and
all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house,
nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
Isa 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.
Isa 39:4 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And
Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there
is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
Isa 39:5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD
of hosts:
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Isa 40:2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that
her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for
she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.
Isa 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare
ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for
our God.
Isa 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and
hill shall be
made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough
places plain:
Isa 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh
shall see
it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Isa 40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All
flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower
of the field:
Isa 40:7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit
of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
Isa 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of
our God shall stand for ever.
Isa 40:9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the
high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up
thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the
cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Isa 40:10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and
his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and
his work before him.
Isa 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather
the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently
lead those that are with young.
Isa 40:12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of
the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and
the hills in a balance?
Isa 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his
counseller hath taught him?
Isa 40:14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and
taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and
shewed to him the way of understanding?
Isa 40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are
counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the
isles as a very little thing.
Isa 40:16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts
thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
Isa 40:17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted
to him less than nothing, and vanity.
Isa 40:18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will
ye compare unto him?
Isa 40:19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith
spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
Isa 40:20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth
a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman
to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
Isa 40:21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been
told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations
of the earth?
Isa 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and
the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out
the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell
in:
Isa 40:23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges
of the earth as vanity.
Isa 40:24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be
sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he
shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind
shall take them away as stubble.
Isa 40:25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith
the Holy One.
Isa 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created
these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth
them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is
strong in power; not one faileth.
Isa 40:27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My
way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my
God?
Isa 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting
God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,
neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Isa 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no
might he increaseth strength.
Isa 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young
men shall
utterly fall:
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not
be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isa 41:1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people
renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let
us come near together to judgment.
Isa 41:2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called
him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule
over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven
stubble to his bow.
Isa 41:3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that
he had not gone with his feet.
Isa 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations
from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I
am he.
Isa 41:5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were
afraid, drew near, and came.
Isa 41:6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said
to his brother, Be of good courage.
Isa 41:7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that
smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is
ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should
not be moved.
Isa 41:8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen,
the seed of Abraham my friend.
Isa 41:9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and
called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou
art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
Isa 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for
I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea,
I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isa 41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall
be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that
strive with thee shall perish.
Isa 41:12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them
that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as
nothing, and as a thing of nought.
Isa 41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying
unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Isa 41:14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will
help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 41:15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument
having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small,
and shalt make the hills as chaff.
Isa 41:16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away,
and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in
the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 41:17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none,
and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them,
I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
Isa 41:18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the
midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
and the dry land springs of water.
Isa 41:19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah
tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert
the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
Isa 41:20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand
together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy
One of Israel hath created it.
Isa 41:21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your
strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Isa 41:22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen:
let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider
them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for
to come.
Isa 41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may
know that ye
are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and
behold it together.
Isa 41:24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an
abomination is he that chooseth you.
Isa 41:25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come:
from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall
come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Isa 41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know?
and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is
none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there
is none that heareth your words.
Isa 41:27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and
I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
Isa 41:28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them,
and there was no counseller, that, when I asked of them, could answer
a word.
Isa 41:29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing:
their molten images are wind and confusion.
Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom
my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring
forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Isa 42:2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to
be heard in the street.
Isa 42:3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax
shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
Isa 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set
judgment in
the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Isa 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens,
and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that
which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon
it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isa 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will
hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant
of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Isa 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from
the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not
give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Isa 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things
do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Isa 42:10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the
end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein;
the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Isa 42:11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their
voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants
of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Isa 42:12 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise
in the islands.
Isa 42:13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir
up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall
prevail against his enemies.
Isa 42:14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still,
and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I
will destroy and devour at once.
Isa 42:15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all
their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry
up the pools.
Isa 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make
darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things
will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Isa 42:17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed,
that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are
our gods.
Isa 42:18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Isa 42:19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger
that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the
LORD's servant?
Isa 42:20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the
ears, but he heareth not.
Isa 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake;
he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Isa 42:22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all
of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they
are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith,
Restore.
Isa 42:23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken
and hear for the time to come?
Isa 42:24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers?
did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would
not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
Isa 42:25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger,
and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about,
yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Isa 43:1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob,
and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed
thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
Isa 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee;
and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou
walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall
the flame kindle upon thee.
Isa 43:3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy
Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Isa 43:4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable,
and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people
for thy life.
Isa 43:5
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east,
and gather thee from the west;
Isa 43:6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep
not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends
of the earth;
Isa 43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created
him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
Isa 43:8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf
that have ears.
Isa 43:9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the
people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us
former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may
be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom
I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that
I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there
be after me.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isa 43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when
there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses,
saith the LORD, that I am God.
Isa 43:13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that
can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
Isa 43:14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all
their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
Isa 43:15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel,
your King.
Isa 43:16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and
a path in the mighty waters;
Isa 43:17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army
and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise:
they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
Isa 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the
things of old.
Isa 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;
shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness,
and rivers in the desert.
Isa 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and
the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in
the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
Isa 43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew
forth my praise.
Isa 43:22 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast
been weary of me, O Israel.
Isa 43:23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt
offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I
have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee
with incense.
Isa 43:24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither
hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast
made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine
iniquities.
Isa 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions
for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Isa 43:26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare
thou, that thou mayest be justified.
Isa 43:27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed
against me.
Isa 43:28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary,
and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
Isa 44:1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have
chosen:
Isa 44:2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from
the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and
thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
Isa 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods
upon the
dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing
upon
thine offspring:
Isa 44:4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows
by the water courses.
Isa 44:5 One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call
himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his
hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer
the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside
me there is no God.
Isa 44:7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set
it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the
things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
Isa 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from
that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there
a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isa 44:9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity;
and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their
own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
Isa 44:10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that
is profitable for nothing?
Isa 44:11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen,
they are
of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet
they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
Isa 44:12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and
fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of
his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh
no water, and is faint.
Isa 44:13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it
out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out
with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according
to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
Isa 44:14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and
the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the
forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
Isa 44:15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take
thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread;
yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven
image, and falleth down thereto.
Isa 44:16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof
he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth
himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
Isa 44:17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven
image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth
unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
Isa 44:18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut
their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot
understand.
Isa 44:19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge
nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire;
yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted
flesh, and
eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination?
shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
Isa 44:20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him
aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a
lie in my right hand?
Isa 44:21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant:
I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not
be forgotten of me.
Isa 44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions,
and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
Isa 44:23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout,
ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains,
O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob,
and glorified himself in Israel.
Isa 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed
thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth
forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
Isa 44:25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh
diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge
foolish;
Isa 44:26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth
the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt
be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and
I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
Isa 44:27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy
rivers:
Isa 44:28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform
all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built;
and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right
hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose
the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and
the gates shall not be shut;
Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight:
I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the
bars of iron:
Isa 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden
riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD,
which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Isa 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.
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and
create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 45:10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest
thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 45:15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel,
the Saviour.
Isa 45:16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them:
they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
Isa 45:17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting
salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without
end.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
for I am God, and there is none else.
Isa 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth
in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee
shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Isa 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.
Isa 45:25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified,
and shall glory.
Isa 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.
Isa 46:2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver
the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare
me, that we may be like?
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 46:8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again
to mind, O ye transgressors.
Isa 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,
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 46:12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 47:2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks,
make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
Isa 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.
Isa 47:4 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the
Holy One of Israel.
Isa 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.
Isa 47:6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance,
and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon
the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
Isa 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.
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 47:12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude
of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if
so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
Isa 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.
Isa 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn
them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame:
there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Isa 47:15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured,
even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one
to his quarter; none shall save thee.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning;
and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them
suddenly, and they came to pass.
Isa 48:4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is
an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
Isa 48:5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before
it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine
idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath
commanded them.
Isa 48:6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare
it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things,
and thou didst not know them.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have
chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Isa 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.
Isa 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am
he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 48:15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have
brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Isa 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.
Isa 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth
thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Isa 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then
had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves
of the sea:
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 48:21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts:
he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave
the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Isa 48:22 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
Isa 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.
Isa 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;
Isa 49:3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom
I will be glorified.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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;
Isa 49:9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them
that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways,
and their pastures shall be in all high places.
Isa 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.
Isa 49:11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways
shall be exalted.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 49:14 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord
hath forgotten me.
Isa 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should
not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget,
yet will I not forget thee.
Isa 49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;
thy walls are continually before me.
Isa 49:17 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they
that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 49:24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful
captive delivered?
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 50:2 Wherfore, 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.
Isa 50:3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth
their covering.
Isa 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.
Isa 50:5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious,
neither turned away back.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 50:8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me?
let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near
to me.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 51:2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare
you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
Isa 51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her
waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her
desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found
therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Isa 51:4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my
nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment
to rest for a light of the people.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 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;
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 51:15 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose
waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 51:21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken,
but not with wine:
Isa 51:22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth
the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand
the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou
shalt no more drink it again:
Isa 51:23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict
thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over:
and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to
them that went over.
Isa 52:1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy
beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there
shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Isa 52:2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem:
loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of
Zion.
Isa 52:3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought;
and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Isa 52:4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime
into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without
cause.
Isa 52:5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that
my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make
them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day
is blasphemed.
Isa 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they
shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it
is I.
Isa 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good
tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion,
Thy God reigneth!
Isa 52:8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together
shall
they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring
again Zion.
Isa 52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of
Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed
Jerusalem.
Isa 52:10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all
the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation
of our God.
Isa 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no
unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that
bear the vessels of the LORD.
Isa 52:12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight:
for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your
rereward.
Isa 52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be
exalted and extolled, and be very high.
Isa 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred
more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Isa 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut
their mouths
at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and
that which they had not heard shall they consider.
Isa 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of
the LORD revealed?
Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and
as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and
when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire
him.
Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows,
and acquainted
with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.
Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every
one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of
us all.
Isa 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened
not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as
a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall
declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the
living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Isa 53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich
in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit
in his mouth.
Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him
to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he
shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure
of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Isa 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be
satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;
for he shall bear their iniquities.
Isa 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured
out his soul
unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he
bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isa 54:1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth
into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child:
for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the
married wife, saith the LORD.
Isa 54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth
the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords,
and strengthen thy stakes;
Isa 54:3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the
left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate
cities to be inhabited.
Isa 54:4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou
confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget
the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy
widowhood any more.
Isa 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his
name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole
earth shall he be called.
Isa 54:6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and
grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused,
saith thy God.
Isa 54:7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great
mercies will I gather thee.
Isa 54:8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment;
but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the
LORD thy Redeemer.
Isa 54:9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have
sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth;
so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke
thee.
Isa 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed;
but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant
of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
Isa 54:11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations
with sapphires.
Isa 54:12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates
of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
Isa 54:13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and
great shall be the peace of thy children.
Isa 54:14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt
be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror;
for it shall not come near thee.
Isa 54:15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by
me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for
thy sake.
Isa 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals
in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work;
and I have created the waster to destroy.
Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Isa 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and
he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine
and milk without money and without price.
Isa 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?
and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently
unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight
itself in fatness.
Isa 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul
shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even
the sure mercies of David.
Isa 55:4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people,
a leader and commander to the people.
Isa 55:5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not,
and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the
LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified
thee.
Isa 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him
while he is near:
Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man
his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have
mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my
ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isa 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven,
and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it
bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread
to the eater:
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which
I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isa 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace:
the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Isa 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall
be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not
be cut off.
Isa 56:1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice:
for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Isa 56:2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man
that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting
it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Isa 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined
himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated
me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry
tree.
Isa 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;
Isa 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.
Isa 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;
Isa 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.
Isa 56:8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith,
Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered
unto him.
Isa 56:9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye
beasts in the forest.
Isa 56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are
all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to
slumber.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 57:2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds,
each one walking in his uprightness.
Isa 57:3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed
of the adulterer and the whore.
Isa 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,
Isa 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree,
slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
Isa 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?
Isa 57:7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed:
even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 57:12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for
they shall not profit thee.
Isa 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;
Isa 57:14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way,
take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot
rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Isa 57:21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet,
and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their
sins.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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?
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 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;
Isa 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy
the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and
thy darkness be as the noonday:
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 59:1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot
save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Isa 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.
Isa 59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers
with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered
perverseness.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make hast to shed innocent
blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction
are in their paths.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as
if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are
in desolate places as dead men.
Isa 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.
Isa 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;
Isa 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.
Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth
afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 59:17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an
helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of
vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
Isa 59:18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay,
fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands
he will repay recompence.
Isa 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.
Isa 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that
turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Isa 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD;
My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy
mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of
thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD,
from henceforth and for ever.
Isa 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of
the LORD is risen upon thee.
Isa 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross
darkness
the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall
be seen upon thee.
Isa 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to
the brightness of thy rising.
Isa 60:4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather
themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from
far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
Isa 60:5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart
shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall
be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto
thee.
Isa 60:6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries
of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall
bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of
the LORD.
Isa 60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto
thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall
come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house
of my glory.
Isa 60:8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to
their windows?
Isa 60:9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish
first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with
them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of
Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
Isa 60:10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and
their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee,
but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
Isa 60:11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall
not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces
of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
Isa 60:12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall
perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Isa 60:13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree,
the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my
sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
Isa 60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come
bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves
down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city
of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 60:15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no
man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a
joy of many generations.
Isa 60:16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt
suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am
thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Isa 60:17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring
silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make
thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
Isa 60:18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting
nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls
Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
Isa 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for
brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall
be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Isa 60:20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon
withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light,
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Isa 60:21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit
the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
that I may be glorified.
Isa 60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one
a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent
me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day
of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Isa 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto
them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment
of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called
trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might
be glorified.
Isa 61:4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise
up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities,
the desolations of many generations.
Isa 61:5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the
sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Isa 61:6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall
call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the
Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
Isa 61:7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion
they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they
shall possess
the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Isa 61:8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt
offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make
an everlasting covenant with them.
Isa 61:9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and
their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge
them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
Isa 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be
joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself
with her jewels.
Isa 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden
causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord
GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all
the nations.
Isa 62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as
brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
Isa 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all
kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the
mouth of the LORD shall name.
Isa 62:3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the
LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Isa 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy
land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah,
and thy
land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall
be married.
Isa 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.
Isa 62:6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which
shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention
of the LORD, keep not silence,
Isa 62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 62:10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way
of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones;
lift up a standard for the people.
Isa 62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the
world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh;
behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Isa 62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed
of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Isa 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.
Isa 63:2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments
like him that treadeth in the winefat?
Isa 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.
Isa 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year
of my redeemed is come.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 63:8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that
will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
Isa 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.
Isa 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore
he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
Isa 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?
Isa 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?
Isa 63:13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness,
that they should not stumble?
Isa 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.
Isa 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?
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 63:18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little
while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Isa 63:19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they
were not called by thy name.
Isa 64:1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest
come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
Isa 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!
Isa 64:3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for,
thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 64:9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity
for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
Isa 64:10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
Isa 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.
Isa 64:12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt
thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
Isa 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.
Isa 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;
Isa 65:3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my
face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars
of brick;
Isa 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;
Isa 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.
Isa 65:6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence,
but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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.
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 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:
Isa 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.
Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and
the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isa 65:18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create:
for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
Isa 65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people:
and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the
voice of crying.
Isa 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor
an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die
an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old
shall be accursed.
Isa 65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they
shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Isa 65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall
not plant, and
another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people,
and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Isa 65:23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble;
for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring
with them.
Isa 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will
answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Isa 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion
shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's
meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith
the LORD.
Isa 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the
earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me?
and where is the place of my rest?
Isa 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things
have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to
him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Isa 66:3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that
sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth
an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense,
as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
Isa 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their
fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I
spake, they did
not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in
which I delighted not.
Isa 66:5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word;
your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake,
said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy,
and they shall be ashamed.
Isa 66:6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple,
a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
Isa 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain
came, she was delivered of a man child.
Isa 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation
be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth
her children.
Isa 66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?
saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb?
saith thy God.
Isa 66:10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all
ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for
her:
Isa 66:11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of
her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the
abundance of her glory.
Isa 66:12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace
to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing
stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and
be dandled upon her knees.
Isa 66:13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort
you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Isa 66:14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your
bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall
be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
Isa 66:15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his
chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his
rebuke with flames of fire.
Isa 66:16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with
all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
Isa 66:17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves
in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh,
and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together,
saith the LORD.
Isa 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come,
that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come,
and see my glory.
Isa 66:19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those
that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud,
that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that
have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall
declare my glory among the Gentiles.
Isa 66:20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering
unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and
in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain
Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering
in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
Isa 66:21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites,
saith the LORD.
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will
make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed
and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to
another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to
worship before me, saith the LORD.
Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of
the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall
not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be
an abhorring unto all flesh.
