Rebellion of God's People

The vision 2377 of Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 concerning 5921 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389, which 834 he saw 2372 during the reigns 3117 of Uzziah 5818, Jotham 3147, Ahaz 271 {and} Hezekiah 2396, kings 4428 of Judah 3063.
2 Listen 8085, O heavens 8064, and hear 238, O earth 776; For the LORD 3068 speaks 1696, "Sons 1121 I have reared 1431 and brought 7311 up, But they have revolted 6586 against Me.
3 "An ox 7794 knows 3045 its owner 7069, And a donkey 2543 its master's 1167 manger 18, {But} Israel 3478 does not know 3045, My people 5971 do not understand 995."
4 ¶ Alas 1945, sinful 2398 nation 1471, People 5971 weighed 3515 down 3515 with iniquity 5771, Offspring 2233 of evildoers 7489, Sons 1121 who act 7843 corruptly 7843! They have abandoned 5800 the LORD 3068, They have despised 5006 the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, They have turned 2114 away 2114 from Him.
5 ¶ Where will you be stricken 5221 again 5750, {As} you continue 3254 in {your} rebellion 5627? The whole 3605 head 7218 is sick 2483 And the whole 3605 heart 3824 is faint 1742.
6 From the sole 3709 of the foot 7272 even to the head 7218 There 369 is nothing 369 sound 4974 in it, {Only} bruises 6482, welts 2250 and raw 2961 wounds 4347, Not pressed 2115 out or bandaged 2280, Nor 3808 softened 7401 with oil 8081.
7 ¶ Your land 776 is desolate 8077, Your cities 5892 are burned 8313 with fire 784, Your fields 127--strangers 2114 are devouring 398 them in your presence 5048; It is desolation 8077, as overthrown 4114 by strangers 2114.
8 The daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 is left 3498 like a shelter 5521 in a vineyard 3754, Like a watchman's 4412 hut 4412 in a cucumber 4750 field 4750, like a besieged 5341 city 5892.
9 Unless 3884 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 Had left 3498 us a few 4592 survivors 8300, We would be like Sodom 5467, We would be like 1819 Gomorrah 6017.

God Has Had Enough

¶ Hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, You rulers 7101 of Sodom 5467; Give 238 ear 238 to the instruction 8451 of our God 430, You people 5971 of Gomorrah 6017.
11 "What 4100 are your multiplied 7230 sacrifices 2077 to Me?" Says 559 the LORD 3068. "I have had 7646 enough 7646 of burnt 5930 offerings 5930 of rams 352 And the fat 2459 of fed 4806 cattle 4806; And I take 2654 no 3808 pleasure 2654 in the blood 1818 of bulls 6499, lambs 3532 or goats 6260.
12 "When 3588 you come 935 to appear 7200 before 6440 Me, Who 4310 requires 1245 of you this 384 trampling 7429 of My courts 2691?
13 "Bring 935 your worthless 7723 offerings 4503 no 3808 longer 3254, Incense 7004 is an abomination 8441 to Me. New 2320 moon 2320 and sabbath 7676, the calling 7121 of assemblies 4744-- I cannot endure 3201 iniquity 205 and the solemn 6116 assembly 6116.
14 "I hate 8130 your new 2320 moon 2320 {festivals} and your appointed 4150 feasts 4150, They have become 1961 a burden 2960 to Me; I am weary 3811 of bearing 5375 {them.}
15 "So when you spread 6566 out your hands 3709 {in prayer,} I will hide 5956 My eyes 5869 from you; Yes 1571, even 1571 though 3588 you multiply 7235 prayers 8605, I will not listen 8085. Your hands 3027 are covered 4390 with blood 1818.
16 ¶ "Wash 7364 yourselves, make 2135 yourselves clean 2135; Remove 5493 the evil 7455 of your deeds 4611 from My sight. Cease 2308 to do evil 7489,
17 Learn 3925 to do 3190 good 3190; Seek 1875 justice 4941, Reprove 833 the ruthless 2541, Defend 8199 the orphan 3490, Plead 7378 for the widow 490.
18

``Let Us Reason"

¶ "Come 1980 now 4994, and let us reason 3198 together," Says 559 the LORD 3068, "Though 518 your sins 2399 are as scarlet 8144, They will be as white 3835 as snow 7950; Though 518 they are red 119 like crimson 8438, They will be like wool 6785.
19 "If 518 you consent 14 and obey 8085, You will eat 398 the best 2898 of the land 776;
20 "But if 518 you refuse 3985 and rebel 4784, You will be devoured 398 by the sword 2719." Truly 3588, the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696.
21

Zion Corrupted, to Be Redeemed

¶ How 351 the faithful 539 city 7151 has become 1961 a harlot 2181, She {who} was full 4392 of justice 4941! Righteousness 6664 once lodged 3885 in her, But now 6258 murderers 7523.
22 Your silver 3701 has become 1961 dross 5509, Your drink 5435 diluted 4107 with water 4325.
23 Your rulers 8269 are rebels 5637 And companions 2270 of thieves 1590; Everyone 3605 loves 157 a bribe 7810 And chases 7291 after rewards 8021. They do not defend 8199 the orphan 3490, Nor 3808 does the widow's 490 plea 7379 come 935 before 413 them.
24 ¶ Therefore 3651 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635, The Mighty 46 One 46 of Israel 3478, declares 5002, "Ah 1945, I will be relieved 5162 of My adversaries 6862 And avenge 5358 Myself on My foes 340.
25 "I will also turn 7725 My hand 3027 against 5921 you, And will smelt 6884 away your dross 5509 as with lye 1253 And will remove 5493 all 3605 your alloy 913.
26 "Then I will restore 7725 your judges 8199 as at the first 7223, And your counselors 3289 as at the beginning 8462; After 310 that you will be called 7121 the city 5892 of righteousness 6664, A faithful 539 city 7151."
27 ¶ Zion 6726 will be redeemed 6299 with justice 4941 And her repentant 7725 ones with righteousness 6666.
28 But transgressors 6586 and sinners 2400 will be crushed 7667 together 3164, And those who forsake 5800 the LORD 3068 will come 3615 to an end 3615.
29 Surely 3588 you will be ashamed 954 of the oaks 352 which 834 you have desired 2530, And you will be embarrassed 2659 at the gardens 1593 which 834 you have chosen 977.
30 For you will be like an oak 424 whose leaf 5929 fades 5034 away 5034 Or as a garden 1593 that has 369 no 369 water 4325.
31 The strong 2634 man 2634 will become 1961 tinder 5296, His work 6467 also a spark 5213. Thus they shall both 8147 burn 1197 together 3164 And there 369 will be none 369 to quench 3518 {them.}

God's Universal Reign

The word 1697 which 834 Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 saw 2372 concerning 5921 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389.
2 ¶ Now it will come 1961 about that In the last 319 days 3117 The mountain 2022 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 Will be established 3559 as the chief 7218 of the mountains 2022, And will be raised 5375 above 4480 the hills 1389; And all 3605 the nations 1471 will stream 5102 to it.
3 And many 7227 peoples 5971 will come 1980 and say 559, "Come 1980, let us go 5927 up to the mountain 2022 of the LORD 3068, To the house 1004 of the God 430 of Jacob 3290; That He may teach 3384 us concerning 4480 His ways 1870 And that we may walk 1980 in His paths 734." For the law 8451 will go 3318 forth 3318 from Zion 6726 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 from Jerusalem 3389.
4 And He will judge 8199 between 996 the nations 1471, And will render 3198 decisions 3198 for many 7227 peoples 5971; And they will hammer 3807 their swords 2719 into plowshares 855 and their spears 2595 into pruning 4211 hooks 4211. Nation 1471 will not lift 5375 up sword 2719 against 413 nation 1471, And never 3808 again 5750 will they learn 3925 war 4421.
5 ¶ Come 1980, house 1004 of Jacob 3290, and let us walk 1980 in the light 216 of the LORD 3068.
6 For You have abandoned 5203 Your people 5971, the house 1004 of Jacob 3290, Because 3588 they are filled 4390 {with influences} from the east 6924, And {they are} soothsayers 6049 like the Philistines 6430, And they strike 5606 {bargains} with the children 3206 of foreigners 5237.
7 Their land 776 has also been filled 4390 with silver 3701 and gold 2091 And there 369 is no 369 end 7097 to their treasures 214; Their land 776 has also been filled 4390 with horses 5483 And there 369 is no 369 end 7097 to their chariots 4818.
8 Their land 776 has also been filled 4390 with idols 457; They worship 7812 the work 4639 of their hands 3027, That which 834 their fingers 676 have made 6213.
9 So the {common} man 120 has been 7817 humbled 7817 And the man 376 {of importance} has been 8213 abased 8213, But do not forgive 5375 them.
10 Enter 935 the rock 6697 and hide 2934 in the dust 6083 From the terror 6343 of the LORD 3068 and from the splendor 1926 of His majesty 1347.
11 The proud 1365 look 5869 of man 120 will be abased 8213 And the loftiness 7312 of man 376 will be humbled 7817, And the LORD 3068 alone 905 will be exalted 7682 in that day 3117.
12

A Day of Reckoning Coming

¶ For the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will have a day 3117 {of reckoning} Against 5921 everyone 3605 who 1343 is proud 1343 and lofty 7311 And against 5921 everyone 3605 who is lifted 5375 up, That he may be abased 8213.
13 And {it will be} against 5921 all 3605 the cedars 730 of Lebanon 3844 that are lofty 7311 and lifted 5375 up, Against 5921 all 3605 the oaks 437 of Bashan 1316,
14 Against 5921 all 3605 the lofty 7311 mountains 2022, Against 5921 all 3605 the hills 1389 that are lifted 5375 up,
15 Against 5921 every 3605 high 1364 tower 4026, Against 5921 every 3605 fortified 1219 wall 2346,
16 Against 5921 all 3605 the ships 591 of Tarshish 8659 And against 5921 all 3605 the beautiful 2532 craft 7914.
17 The pride 1365 of man 120 will be humbled 7817 And the loftiness 7312 of men 376 will be abased 8213; And the LORD 3068 alone 905 will be exalted 7682 in that day 3117,
18 But the idols 457 will completely 3632 vanish 2498.
19 {Men} will go 935 into caves 4631 of the rocks 6697 And into holes 4247 of the ground 6083 Before the terror 6343 of the LORD 3068 And the splendor 1926 of His majesty 1347, When He arises 6965 to make 6206 the earth 776 tremble 6206.
20 In that day 3117 men 120 will cast 7993 away 7993 to the moles 2663 and the bats 5847 Their idols 457 of silver 3701 and their idols 457 of gold 2091, Which 834 they made 6213 for themselves to worship 7812,
21 In order to go 935 into the caverns 5366 of the rocks 6697 and the clefts 5585 of the cliffs 5553 Before the terror 6343 of the LORD 3068 and the splendor 1926 of His majesty 1347, When He arises 6965 to make 6206 the earth 776 tremble 6206.
22 Stop 2308 regarding man 120, whose 834 breath 5397 {of life} is in his nostrils 639; For why 4100 should he be esteemed 2803?

God Will Remove the Leaders

For behold 2009, the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635 is going to remove 5493 from Jerusalem 3389 and Judah 3063 Both supply 4937 and support 4938, the whole 3605 supply 4937 of bread 3899 And the whole 3605 supply 4937 of water 4325;
2 The mighty 1368 man 1368 and the warrior 4421, The judge 8199 and the prophet 5030, The diviner 7080 and the elder 2205,
3 The captain 8269 of fifty 2572 and the honorable man, The counselor 3289 and the expert 2450 artisan 2796, And the skillful 995 enchanter 3908.
4 And I will make 5414 mere lads 5288 their princes 8269, And capricious 8586 children 8586 will rule 4910 over them,
5 And the people 5971 will be oppressed 5065, Each 376 one 376 by another 376, and each 376 one 376 by his neighbor 7453; The youth 5288 will storm 7292 against the elder 2205 And the inferior 7034 against the honorable 3513.
6 When 3588 a man 376 lays 8610 hold 8610 of his brother 251 in his father's 1 house 1004, {saying,} "You have a cloak 8071, you shall be our ruler 7101, And these 2088 ruins 4384 will be under 8478 your charge 3027,"
7 He will protest 5375 on that day 3117, saying 559, "I will not be {your} healer 2280, For in my house 1004 there 369 is neither 369 bread 3899 nor 369 cloak 8071; You should not appoint 7760 me ruler 7101 of the people 5971."
8 For Jerusalem 3389 has stumbled 3782 and Judah 3063 has fallen 5307, Because 3588 their speech 3956 and their actions 4611 are against 413 the LORD 3068, To rebel 4784 against His glorious 3519 presence 5869.
9 The expression 1971 of their faces 6440 bears 6030 witness 6030 against them, And they display 5046 their sin 2403 like Sodom 5467; They do not {even} conceal 3582 {it.} Woe 188 to them! For they have brought 1580 evil 7463 on themselves.
10 Say 559 to the righteous 6662 that {it will go} well 2895 {with them,} For they will eat 398 the fruit 6529 of their actions 4611.
11 Woe 188 to the wicked 7563! {It will go} badly 7451 {with him,} For what he deserves will be done 6213 to him.
12 O My people 5971! Their oppressors 5065 are children 5953, And women 802 rule 4910 over them. O My people 5971! Those who guide 833 you lead 8582 {you} astray 8582 And confuse 1104 the direction 1870 of your paths 734.
13

God Will Judge

¶ The LORD 3068 arises 5324 to contend 7378, And stands 5975 to judge 1777 the people 5971.
14 The LORD 3068 enters 935 into judgment 4941 with the elders 2205 and princes 8269 of His people 5971, "It is you who have devoured 1197 the vineyard 3754; The plunder 1500 of the poor 6041 is in your houses 1004.
15 "What 4100 do you mean by crushing 1792 My people 5971 And grinding 2912 the face 6440 of the poor 6041?" Declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635.
16

Judah's Women Denounced

¶ Moreover, the LORD 3068 said 559, "Because the daughters 1323 of Zion 6726 are proud 1361 And walk 1980 with heads 1627 held 5186 high 5186 and seductive 8265 eyes 5869, And go 1980 along with mincing 2952 steps 2952 And tinkle 5913 the bangles 5913 on their feet 7272,
17 Therefore the Lord 136 will afflict 8197 the scalp 6936 of the daughters 1323 of Zion 6726 with scabs 8197, And the LORD 3068 will make 6168 their foreheads 6596 bare 6168."
18 In that day 3117 the Lord 136 will take 5493 away 5493 the beauty 8597 of {their} anklets 5914, headbands 7636, crescent 7720 ornaments 7720,
19 dangling 5188 earrings 5188, bracelets 8285, veils 7479,
20 headdresses 6287, ankle 6807 chains 6807, sashes 7196, perfume boxes 1004, amulets 3908,
21 finger 2885 rings 2885, nose 639 rings 5141,
22 festal 4254 robes 4254, outer 4595 tunics 4595, cloaks 4304, money 2754 purses 2754,
23 hand 1549 mirrors 1549, undergarments 5466, turbans 6797 and veils 7289.
24 Now it will come 1961 about that instead 8478 of sweet 1314 perfume 1314 there will be putrefaction 4716; Instead 8478 of a belt 2290, a rope 5364; Instead 8478 of well-set 4748 hair 4748, a plucked-out 7144 scalp 7144; Instead 8478 of fine 6614 clothes 6614, a donning 4228 of sackcloth 8242; And branding 3587 instead 8478 of beauty 3308.
25 Your men 4962 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719 And your mighty 1369 ones 1369 in battle 4421.
26 And her gates 6607 will lament 578 and mourn 56, And deserted 5352 she will sit 3427 on the ground 776.

A Remnant Prepared

For seven 7651 women 802 will take 2388 hold 2388 of one 259 man 376 in that day 3117, saying 559, "We will eat 398 our own bread 3899 and wear 3847 our own clothes 8071, only 7534 let us be called 7121 by your name 8034; take 622 away 622 our reproach 2781!"
2 ¶ In that day 3117 the Branch 6780 of the LORD 3068 will be beautiful 6643 and glorious 3519, and the fruit 6529 of the earth 776 {will be} the pride 1347 and the adornment 8597 of the survivors 6413 of Israel 3478.
3 It will come 1961 about that he who is left 7604 in Zion 6726 and remains 3498 in Jerusalem 3389 will be called 559 holy 6918--everyone 3605 who is recorded 3789 for life 2425 in Jerusalem 3389.
4 When 518 the Lord 136 has washed 7364 away 7364 the filth 6675 of the daughters 1323 of Zion 6726 and purged 1740 the bloodshed 1818 of Jerusalem 3389 from her midst 7130, by the spirit 7307 of judgment 4941 and the spirit 7307 of burning 1197,
5 then the LORD 3068 will create 1254 over 5921 the whole 3605 area 4349 of Mount 2022 Zion 6726 and over 5921 her assemblies 4744 a cloud 6051 by day 3119, even smoke 6227, and the brightness 5051 of a flaming 3852 fire 784 by night 3915; for over 5921 all 3605 the glory 3519 will be a canopy 2646.
6 There will be a shelter 5521 to {give} shade 6738 from the heat 2721 by day 3119, and refuge 4268 and protection 4563 from the storm 2230 and the rain 4306.

Parable of the Vineyard

Let me sing 7891 now 4994 for my well-beloved 3039 A song 7892 of my beloved 1730 concerning His vineyard 3754. My well-beloved 3039 had 1961 a vineyard 3754 on a fertile hill 7161.
2 He dug 5823 it all around 5823, removed 5619 its stones 5619, And planted 5193 it with the choicest 8321 vine 8321. And He built 1129 a tower 4026 in the middle 8432 of it And also 1571 hewed 2672 out a wine 3342 vat 3342 in it; Then He expected 6960 {it} to produce 6213 {good} grapes 6025, But it produced 6213 {only} worthless 891 ones 891.
3 ¶ "And now 6258, O inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 and men 376 of Judah 3063, Judge 8199 between 996 Me and My vineyard 3754.
4 "What 4100 more 5750 was there to do 6213 for My vineyard 3754 that I have not done 6213 in it? Why 4069, when I expected 6960 {it} to produce 6213 {good} grapes 6025 did it produce 6213 worthless 891 ones 891?
5 "So now 6258 let Me tell 3045 you what 834 I am going to do 6213 to My vineyard 3754: I will remove 5493 its hedge 4905 and it will be consumed 1197; I will break 6555 down 6555 its wall 1447 and it will become 1961 trampled 4823 ground 4823.
6 "I will lay 7896 it waste 1326; It will not be pruned 2168 or hoed 5737, But briars 8068 and thorns 7898 will come 5927 up. I will also charge 6680 the clouds 5645 to rain 4305 no 4480 rain 4306 on it."
7 ¶ For the vineyard 3754 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is the house 1004 of Israel 3478 And the men 376 of Judah 3063 His delightful 8191 plant 5194. Thus He looked 6960 for justice 4941, but behold 2009, bloodshed 4939; For righteousness 6666, but behold 2009, a cry 6818 of distress 6818.

Woes for the Wicked

¶ Woe 1945 to those who add 5060 house 1004 to house 1004 {and} join 7126 field 7704 to field 7704, Until 5704 there is no 657 more 657 room 4725, So that you have to live 3427 alone 905 in the midst 7130 of the land 776!
9 In my ears 241 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 {has sworn,} "Surely, many 7227 houses 1004 shall become 1961 desolate 8047, {Even} great 1419 and fine 2896 ones 2896, without 369 occupants 3427.
10 "For ten 6235 acres 6776 of vineyard 3754 will yield 6213 {only} one 259 bath 1324 {of wine,} And a homer 2563 of seed 2233 will yield 6213 {but} an ephah 374 of grain."
11 Woe 1945 to those who rise 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242 that they may pursue 7291 strong 7941 drink 7941, Who stay 309 up late 309 in the evening 5399 that wine 3196 may inflame 1814 them!
12 Their banquets 4960 are {accompanied} by lyre 3658 and harp 5035, by tambourine 8596 and flute 2485, and by wine 3196; But they do not pay 5027 attention 5027 to the deeds 6467 of the LORD 3068, Nor 3808 do they consider 7200 the work 4639 of His hands 3027.
13 ¶ Therefore 3651 My people 5971 go 1540 into exile 1540 for their lack 1097 of knowledge 1847; And their honorable 3519 men 4962 are famished 7458, And their multitude 1995 is parched 6704 with thirst 6772.
14 Therefore 3651 Sheol 7585 has enlarged 7337 its throat 5315 and opened 6473 its mouth 6310 without 1097 measure 2706; And Jerusalem's splendor 1926, her multitude 1995, her din 7588 {of revelry} and the jubilant 5938 within her, descend 3381 {into it.}
15 So the {common} man 120 will be humbled 7817 and the man 376 of {importance} abased 8213, The eyes 5869 of the proud 1364 also will be abased 8213.
16 But the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will be exalted 1361 in judgment 4941, And the holy 6918 God 410 will show 6942 Himself holy 6942 in righteousness 6666.
17 Then the lambs 3532 will graze 7462 as in their pasture 1699, And strangers 1481 will eat 398 in the waste 2723 places 2723 of the wealthy 4220.
18 ¶ Woe 1945 to those who drag 4900 iniquity 5771 with the cords 2256 of falsehood 7723, And sin 2403 as if with cart 5699 ropes 5688;
19 Who say 559, "Let Him make 4116 speed 4116, let Him hasten 2363 His work 4639, that we may see 7200 {it;} And let the purpose 6098 of the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478 draw 7126 near 7126 And come 935 to pass 935, that we may know 3045 {it!}"
20 Woe 1945 to those who call 559 evil 7451 good 2896, and good 2896 evil 7451; Who substitute 7760 darkness 2822 for light 216 and light 216 for darkness 2822; Who substitute 7760 bitter 4751 for sweet 4966 and sweet 4966 for bitter 4751!
21 Woe 1945 to those who 2450 are wise 2450 in their own eyes 5869 And clever 995 in their own sight!
22 Woe 1945 to those who are heroes 1368 in drinking 8354 wine 3196 And valiant 2428 men 376 in mixing 4537 strong 7941 drink 7941,
23 Who justify 6663 the wicked 7563 for a bribe 7810, And take 5493 away 5493 the rights 6666 of the ones who 6662 are in the right 6662!
24 ¶ Therefore 3651, as a tongue 3956 of fire 784 consumes 398 stubble 7179 And dry 2842 grass 2842 collapses 7503 into the flame 3852, So their root 8328 will become 1961 like rot 4716 and their blossom 6525 blow 5927 away 5927 as dust 80; For they have rejected 3988 the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 And despised 5006 the word 565 of the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
25 On this 3651 account 3651 the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 has burned 2734 against His people 5971, And He has stretched 5186 out His hand 3027 against 5921 them and struck 5221 them down 5221. And the mountains 2022 quaked 7264, and their corpses 5038 lay 1961 like refuse 5478 in the middle 7130 of the streets 2351. For all 3605 this 384 His anger 639 is not spent 7725, But His hand 3027 is still 5750 stretched 5186 out.
26 ¶ He will also lift 5375 up a standard 5251 to the distant 7350 nation 1471, And will whistle 8319 for it from the ends 7097 of the earth 776; And behold 2009, it will come 935 with speed 4120 swiftly 7031.
27 No 369 one 369 in it is weary 5889 or stumbles 3782, None 3808 slumbers 5123 or sleeps 3462; Nor 3808 is the belt 232 at its waist 2504 undone 6605, Nor 3808 its sandal 5275 strap 8288 broken 5423.
28 Its arrows 2671 are sharp 8150 and all 3605 its bows 7198 are bent 1869; The hoofs 6541 of its horses 5483 seem 2803 like flint 6862 and its {chariot} wheels 1534 like a whirlwind 5492.
29 Its roaring 7581 is like a lioness 3833, and it roars 7580 like young 3715 lions 3715; It growls 5098 as it seizes 270 the prey 2964 And carries 6403 {it} off 6403 with no 369 one 369 to deliver 5337 {it.}
30 And it will growl 5098 over 5921 it in that day 3117 like the roaring 5100 of the sea 3220. If one looks 5027 to the land 776, behold 2009, there is darkness 2822 {and} distress 6862; Even the light 216 is darkened 2821 by its clouds 6183.

Isaiah's Vision

In the year 8141 of King 4428 Uzziah's 5818 death 4194 I saw 7200 the Lord 136 sitting 3427 on a throne 3678, lofty 7311 and exalted 5375, with the train 7757 of His robe 7757 filling 4390 the temple 1964.
2 Seraphim 8314 stood 5975 above 4605 Him, each 259 having six 8337 wings 3671: with two 8147 he covered 3680 his face 6440, and with two 8147 he covered 3680 his feet 7272, and with two 8147 he flew 5774.
3 And one 2088 called 7121 out to another 2088 and said 559, "Holy 6918, Holy 6918, Holy 6918, is the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, The whole 3605 earth 776 is full 4393 of His glory 3519."
4 And the foundations 522 of the thresholds 5592 trembled 5128 at the voice 6963 of him who called 7121 out, while the temple 1004 was filling 4390 with smoke 6227.
5 Then I said 559, "Woe 188 is me, for I am ruined 1820! Because 3588 I am a man 376 of unclean 2931 lips 8193, And I live 3427 among 8432 a people 5971 of unclean 2931 lips 8193; For my eyes 5869 have seen 7200 the King 4428, the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635."
6 ¶ Then one 259 of the seraphim 8314 flew 5774 to me with a burning 7531 coal 7531 in his hand 3027, which he had taken 3947 from the altar 4196 with tongs 4457.
7 He touched 5060 my mouth 6310 {with it} and said 559, "Behold 2009, this 2088 has touched 5060 your lips 8193; and your iniquity 5771 is taken 5493 away 5493 and your sin 2403 is forgiven 3722."

Isaiah's Commission

Then I heard 8085 the voice 6963 of the Lord 136, saying 559, "Whom 4310 shall I send 7971, and who 4310 will go 1980 for Us?" Then I said 559, "Here 2009 am I. Send 7971 me!"
9 He said 559, "Go 1980, and tell 559 this 2088 people 5971: 'Keep 8085 on listening 8085, but do not perceive 995; Keep 7200 on looking 7200, but do not understand 3045.'
10 "Render 8080 the hearts 3820 of this 2088 people 5971 insensitive 8080, Their ears 241 dull 3513, And their eyes 5869 dim 8173, Otherwise 6435 they might see 7200 with their eyes 5869, Hear 8085 with their ears 241, Understand 995 with their hearts 3824, And return 7725 and be healed 7495."
11 Then I said 559, "Lord 136, how 4970 long?" And He answered 559, "Until cities 5892 are devastated 7582 {and} without 369 inhabitant 3427, Houses 1004 are without 369 people 120 And the land 127 is utterly 8077 desolate 8077,
12 "The LORD 3068 has removed 7368 men 120 far 7368 away, And the forsaken 5805 places 5805 are many 7231 in the midst 7130 of the land 776.
13 "Yet 5750 there will be a tenth 6224 portion 6224 in it, And it will again 7725 be {subject} to burning 1197, Like a terebinth 424 or an oak 437 Whose 834 stump 4676 remains when 834 it is felled 7995. The holy 6944 seed 2233 is its stump 4676."

War against Jerusalem

Now it came 1961 about in the days 3117 of Ahaz 271, the son 1121 of Jotham 3147, the son 1121 of Uzziah 5818, king 4428 of Judah 3063, that Rezin 7526 the king 4428 of Aram 758 and Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425, king 4428 of Israel 3478, went 5927 up to Jerusalem 3389 to {wage} war 4421 against 5921 it, but could 3201 not conquer it.
2 When it was reported 5046 to the house 1004 of David 1732, saying 559, "The Arameans 758 have camped 5117 in Ephraim 669," his heart 3824 and the hearts 3824 of his people 5971 shook 5128 as the trees 6086 of the forest 3293 shake 5128 with the wind 7307.
3 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Isaiah 3470, "Go 3318 out now 4994 to meet 7122 Ahaz 271, you and your son 1121 Shear-jashub 7610, at the end 7097 of the conduit 8585 of the upper 5945 pool 1295, on the highway 4546 to the fuller's 3526 field 7704,
4 and say 559 to him, 'Take 8104 care 8104 and be calm 8252, have 3372 no 408 fear 3372 and do not be fainthearted because 4480 of these 428 two 8147 stubs 2180 of smoldering 6226 firebrands 181, on account of the fierce 2750 anger 639 of Rezin 7526 and Aram 758 and the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425.
5 'Because Aram 758, {with} Ephraim 669 and the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425, has planned 3289 evil 7463 against 5921 you, saying 559,
6 "Let us go 5927 up against Judah 3063 and terrorize 6973 it, and make 1234 for ourselves a breach 1234 in its walls and set 4427 up the son 1121 of Tabeel 2870 as king 4428 in the midst 8432 of it,"
7 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068: "It shall not stand 6965 nor 3808 shall it come 1961 to pass 1961.
8 "For the head 7218 of Aram 758 is Damascus 1834 and the head 7218 of Damascus 1834 is Rezin 7526 (now within another 5750 65 years 8141 Ephraim 669 will be shattered 2865, {so that it is} no 4480 longer a people 5971),
9 and the head 7218 of Ephraim 669 is Samaria 8111 and the head 7218 of Samaria 8111 is the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425. If 518 you will not believe 539, you surely 3588 shall not last 539."'"
10

The Child Immanuel

¶ Then the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 again 3254 to Ahaz 271, saying 559,
11 "Ask 7592 a sign 226 for yourself from the LORD 3068 your God 430; make 6009 {it} deep 6009 as Sheol 7585 or 176 high 1361 as heaven 4605."
12 But Ahaz 271 said 559, "I will not ask 7592, nor 3808 will I test 5254 the LORD 3068!"
13 Then he said 559, "Listen 8085 now 4994, O house 1004 of David 1732! Is it too 4480 slight 4592 a thing 4592 for you to try 3811 the patience 3811 of men 376, that you will try 3811 the patience 3811 of my God 430 as well 1571?
14 "Therefore 3651 the Lord 136 Himself 1931 will give 5414 you a sign 226: Behold 2009, a virgin 5959 will be with child 2030 and bear 3205 a son 1121, and she will call 7121 His name 8034 Immanuel 6005.
15 "He will eat 398 curds 2529 and honey 1706 at the time He knows 3045 {enough} to refuse 3988 evil 7451 and choose 977 good 2896.
16 "For before 2962 the boy 5288 will know 3045 {enough} to refuse 3988 evil 7451 and choose 977 good 2896, the land 127 whose 834 two 8147 kings 4428 you dread 6973 will be forsaken 5800.
17

Trials to Come for Judah

"The LORD 3068 will bring 935 on you, on your people 5971, and on your father's 1 house 1004 such 834 days 3117 as have never 3808 come 935 since 4480 the day 3117 that Ephraim 669 separated 5493 from Judah 3063, the king 4428 of Assyria 804."
18 ¶ In that day 3117 the LORD 3068 will whistle 8319 for the fly 2070 that is in the remotest 7097 part 7097 of the rivers 2975 of Egypt 4714 and for the bee 1682 that is in the land 776 of Assyria 804.
19 They will all 3605 come 935 and settle 5117 on the steep 1327 ravines 5158, on the ledges 5357 of the cliffs 5553, on all 3605 the thorn 5285 bushes 5285 and on all 3605 the watering 5097 places 5097.
20 ¶ In that day 3117 the Lord 136 will shave 1548 with a razor 8593, hired 7917 from regions 5676 beyond 5676 the Euphrates 5104 ({that is,} with the king 4428 of Assyria 804), the head 7218 and the hair 8181 of the legs 7272; and it will also 1571 remove 5595 the beard 2206.
21 ¶ Now in that day 3117 a man 376 may keep 2421 alive 2421 a heifer 5697 and a pair 8147 of sheep 6629;
22 and because 4480 of the abundance 7230 of the milk 2461 produced 6213 he will eat 398 curds 2529, for everyone 3605 that is left 3498 within 7130 the land 776 will eat 398 curds 2529 and honey 1706.
23 ¶ And it will come 1961 about in that day 3117, that every 3605 place 4725 where there used to be a thousand 505 vines 1612, {valued} at a thousand 505 {shekels} of silver 3701, will become 1961 briars 8068 and thorns 7898.
24 {People} will come 935 there 8033 with bows 7198 and arrows 2671 because 3588 all 3605 the land 776 will be briars 8068 and thorns 7898.
25 As for all 3605 the hills 2022 which 834 used to be cultivated 5737 with the hoe 4576, you will not go 935 there 8033 for fear 3374 of briars 8068 and thorns 7898; but they will become 1961 a place 4916 for pasturing 4916 oxen 7794 and for sheep 7716 to trample 4823.

## Chapter 8

Damascus and Samaria Fall

Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, "Take 3947 for yourself a large 1419 tablet 1549 and write 3789 on it in ordinary 582 letters 2747: Swift 4116 is the booty 7998, speedy 2363 is the prey 957.
2 "And I will take 5749 to Myself faithful 539 witnesses 5707 for testimony 5749, Uriah 223 the priest 3548 and Zechariah 2148 the son 1121 of Jeberechiah 3000."
3 So I approached 7126 the prophetess 5031, and she conceived 2029 and gave 3205 birth 3205 to a son 1121. Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, "Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz 4122;
4 for before 2962 the boy 5288 knows 3045 how to cry 7121 out 'My father 1' or 'My mother 517,' the wealth 2428 of Damascus 1834 and the spoil 7998 of Samaria 8111 will be carried 5375 away before 6440 the king 4428 of Assyria 804."
5 ¶ Again 3254 the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to me further 5750, saying 559,
6 "Inasmuch as these 2088 people 5971 have rejected 3988 the gently 328 flowing 1980 waters 4325 of Shiloah 7975 And rejoice 4885 in Rezin 7526 and the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425;
7 "Now therefore 3651, behold 2009, the Lord 136 is about to bring 5927 on them the strong 6099 and abundant 7227 waters 4325 of the Euphrates 5104, {Even} the king 4428 of Assyria 804 and all 3605 his glory 3519; And it will rise 5927 up over 5921 all 3605 its channels 650 and go 1980 over 5921 all 3605 its banks 1415.
8 "Then it will sweep 2498 on into Judah 3063, it will overflow 7857 and pass 5674 through 5674, It will reach 5060 even 5704 to the neck 6677; And the spread 4298 of its wings 3671 will fill 4393 the breadth 7341 of your land 776, O Immanuel 6005.

A Believing Remnant

¶ "Be broken 7489, O peoples 5971, and be shattered 2865; And give 238 ear 238, all 3605 remote 4801 places 4801 of the earth 776. Gird 247 yourselves, yet be shattered 2865; Gird 247 yourselves, yet be shattered 2865.
10 "Devise 5779 a plan 6098, but it will be thwarted 6565; State 1696 a proposal 1697, but it will not stand 6965, For God 410 is with us."
11 ¶ For thus 3541 the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to me with mighty 2393 power 3027 and instructed 3256 me not to walk 1980 in the way 1870 of this 2088 people 5971, saying 559,
12 "You are not to say 559, '{It is} a conspiracy 7195!' In regard to all 3605 that this 2088 people 5971 call 559 a conspiracy 7195, And you are not to fear 3372 what 4172 they fear 4172 or be in dread 6206 of {it.}
13 "It is the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 whom you should regard 6942 as holy 6942. And He shall be your fear 4172, And He shall be your dread 6206.
14 "Then He shall become 1961 a sanctuary 4720; But to both 8147 the houses 1004 of Israel 3478, a stone 68 to strike 5063 and a rock 6697 to stumble 4383 over, {And} a snare 6341 and a trap 4170 for the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389.
15 "Many 7227 will stumble 3782 over them, Then they will fall 5307 and be broken 7665; They will even be snared 3369 and caught 3920."
16 ¶ Bind 6887 up the testimony 8584, seal 2856 the law 8451 among my disciples 3928.
17 And I will wait 2442 for the LORD 3068 who is hiding 5641 His face 6440 from the house 1004 of Jacob 3290; I will even look 6960 eagerly 6960 for Him.
18 Behold 2009, I and the children 3206 whom 834 the LORD 3068 has given 5414 me are for signs 226 and wonders 4159 in Israel 3478 from the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, who dwells 7931 on Mount 2022 Zion 6726.
19 ¶ When 3588 they say 559 to you, "Consult 1875 the mediums 178 and the spiritists 3049 who whisper 6850 and mutter 1897," should not a people 5971 consult 1875 their God 430? {Should they} {consult} the dead 4191 on behalf 1157 of the living 2416?
20 To the law 8451 and to the testimony 8584! If 518 they do not speak 559 according to this 2088 word 1697, it is because 834 they have 369 no 369 dawn 7837.
21 They will pass 5674 through the land hard-pressed 7185 and famished 7457, and it will turn 6437 out that when 3588 they are hungry 7456, they will be enraged 7107 and curse 7043 their king 4428 and their God 430 as they face 6437 upward 4605.
22 Then they will look 5027 to the earth 776, and behold 2009, distress 6869 and darkness 2825, the gloom 4588 of anguish 6695; and {they will be} driven 5080 away 5080 into darkness 653.

Birth and Reign of the Prince of Peace

But there will be no 3808 {more} gloom 4155 for her who 834 was in anguish 4164; in earlier 7223 times 6256 He treated 7043 the land 776 of Zebulun 2074 and the land 776 of Naphtali 5321 with contempt 7043, but later 314 on He shall make 3513 {it} glorious 3513, by the way 1870 of the sea 3220, on the other 5676 side 5676 of Jordan 3383, Galilee 1551 of the Gentiles 1471.
2 The people 5971 who walk 1980 in darkness 2822 Will see 7200 a great 1419 light 216; Those who live 3427 in a dark 6757 land 776, The light 216 will shine 5050 on them.
3 You shall multiply 7235 the nation 1471, You shall increase 1431 their gladness 8057; They will be glad 8055 in Your presence 6440 As with the gladness 8057 of harvest 7105, As men rejoice 1523 when they divide 2505 the spoil 7998.
4 For You shall break 2865 the yoke 5923 of their burden 5448 and the staff 4294 on their shoulders 7926, The rod 7626 of their oppressor 5065, as at the battle 3117 of Midian 4080.
5 For every 3605 boot 5430 of the booted 5431 warrior 5431 in the {battle} tumult 7494, And cloak 8071 rolled 1556 in blood 1818, will be for burning 8316, fuel 3980 for the fire 784.
6 For a child 3206 will be born 3205 to us, a son 1121 will be given 5414 to us; And the government 4951 will rest 1961 on His shoulders 7926; And His name 8034 will be called 7121 Wonderful 6382 Counselor 3289, Mighty 1368 God 410, Eternal 5703 Father 1, Prince 8269 of Peace 7965.
7 There 369 will be no 369 end 7093 to the increase 4766 of {His} government 4951 or of peace 7965, On the throne 3678 of David 1732 and over 5921 his kingdom 4467, To establish 3559 it and to uphold 5582 it with justice 4941 and righteousness 6666 From then 6258 on and forevermore. The zeal 7068 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will accomplish 6213 this 384.

God's Anger with Israel's Arrogance

¶ The Lord 136 sends 7971 a message 1697 against Jacob 3290, And it falls 5307 on Israel 3478.
9 And all 3605 the people 5971 know 3045 {it,} {That is,} Ephraim 669 and the inhabitants 3427 of Samaria 8111, Asserting 559 in pride 1346 and in arrogance 1433 of heart 3824:
10 "The bricks 3843 have fallen 5307 down 5307, But we will rebuild 1129 with smooth 1496 stones 1496; The sycamores 8256 have been cut 1438 down 1438, But we will replace 2498 {them} with cedars 730."
11 Therefore the LORD 3068 raises 7682 against 5921 them adversaries 6862 from Rezin 7526 And spurs 5526 their enemies 340 on,
12 The Arameans 758 on the east 6924 and the Philistines 6430 on the west 268; And they devour 398 Israel 3478 with gaping 3605 jaws 6310. In {spite of} all 3605 this 384, His anger 639 does not turn 7725 away 7725 And His hand 3027 is still 5750 stretched 5186 out.
13 ¶ Yet the people 5971 do not turn 7725 back 7725 to Him who struck 5221 them, Nor 3808 do they seek 1875 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
14 So the LORD 3068 cuts 3772 off 3772 head 7218 and tail 2180 from Israel 3478, {Both} palm 3712 branch 3712 and bulrush 100 in a single 259 day 3117.
15 The head 7218 is the elder 2205 and honorable man, And the prophet 5030 who teaches 3384 falsehood 8267 is the tail 2180.
16 For those who guide 833 this 2088 people 5971 are leading 8582 {them} astray 8582; And those who are guided 833 by them are brought 1104 to confusion 1104.
17 Therefore the Lord 136 does not take 8055 pleasure 8055 in their young 970 men 970, Nor 3808 does He have 7355 pity 7355 on their orphans 3490 or their widows 490; For every 3605 one 3605 of them is godless 2611 and an evildoer 7489, And every 3605 mouth 6310 is speaking 1696 foolishness 5039. In {spite of} all 3605 this 384, His anger 639 does not turn 7725 away 7725 And His hand 3027 is still 5750 stretched 5186 out.
18 ¶ For wickedness 7564 burns 1197 like a fire 784; It consumes 398 briars 8068 and thorns 7898; It even sets 3341 the thickets 5442 of the forest 3293 aflame 3341 And they roll 55 upward 55 in a column 1348 of smoke 6227.
19 By the fury 5678 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 the land 776 is burned 6272 up, And the people 5971 are like fuel 3980 for the fire 784; No 3808 man 376 spares 2550 his brother 251.
20 They slice 1504 off 1504 {what is} on the right 3225 hand 3225 but {still} are hungry 7456, And they eat 398 {what is} on the left 8040 hand 8040 but they are not satisfied 7646; Each 376 of them eats 398 the flesh 1320 of his own arm 2220.
21 Manasseh 4519 {devours} Ephraim 669, and Ephraim 669 Manasseh 4519, {And} together 3164 they are against 5921 Judah 3063. In {spite of} all 3605 this 384, His anger 639 does not turn 7725 away 7725 And His hand 3027 is still 5750 stretched 5186 out.

Assyria Is God's Instrument

Woe 1945 to those who enact 2710 evil 205 statutes 2706 And to those who constantly record 3789 unjust 5999 decisions 5999,
2 So as to deprive 5186 the needy 1800 of justice 1779 And rob 1497 the poor 6041 of My people 5971 of {their} rights 4941, So that widows 490 may be their spoil 7998 And that they may plunder 962 the orphans 3490.
3 Now what 4100 will you do 6213 in the day 3117 of punishment 6486, And in the devastation 7724 which will come 935 from afar 4801? To whom 4310 will you flee 5127 for help 5833? And where 575 will you leave 5800 your wealth 3519?
4 Nothing 1115 {remains} but to crouch 3766 among 8478 the captives 616 Or fall 5307 among 8478 the slain 2026. In {spite of} all 3605 this 384, His anger 639 does not turn 7725 away 7725 And His hand 3027 is still 5750 stretched 5186 out.
5 ¶ Woe 1945 to Assyria 804, the rod 7626 of My anger 639 And the staff 4294 in whose hands 3027 is My indignation 2195,
6 I send 7971 it against a godless 2611 nation 1471 And commission 6680 it against 5921 the people 5971 of My fury 5678 To capture 7997 booty 7998 and to seize 962 plunder 957, And to trample 4823 them down 4823 like mud 2563 in the streets 2351.
7 Yet it does not so 3651 intend 1819, Nor 3808 does it plan 2803 so 3651 in its heart 3824, But rather 3588 it is its purpose 3824 to destroy 8045 And to cut 3772 off 3772 many nations 1471.
8 For it says 559, "Are not my princes 8269 all 3164 kings 4428?
9 "Is not Calno 3641 like Carchemish 3751, Or 518 Hamath 2574 like Arpad 774, Or 518 Samaria 8111 like Damascus 1834?
10 "As my hand 3027 has reached 4672 to the kingdoms 4467 of the idols 457, Whose graven 6456 images 6456 {were} greater than 4480 those of Jerusalem 3389 and Samaria 8111,
11 Shall I not do 6213 to Jerusalem 3389 and her images 6091 Just 3512 as I have done 6213 to Samaria 8111 and her idols 457?"
12 ¶ So it will be that when 3588 the Lord 136 has completed 1214 all 3605 His work 4639 on Mount 2022 Zion 6726 and on Jerusalem 3389, {He will say,} "I will punish 6485 the fruit 6529 of the arrogant 1433 heart 3824 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804 and the pomp 8597 of his haughtiness 7312."
13 For he has said 559, "By the power 3581 of my hand 3027 and by my wisdom 2451 I did 6213 {this,} For I have 995 understanding 995; And I removed 5493 the boundaries 1367 of the peoples 5971 And plundered 8154 their treasures 6264, And like a mighty 3524 man 47 I brought 3381 down 3381 {their} inhabitants 3427,
14 And my hand 3027 reached 4672 to the riches 2428 of the peoples 5971 like a nest 7064, And as one gathers 622 abandoned 5800 eggs 1000, I gathered 622 all 3605 the earth 776; And there was not one that flapped 5074 its wing 3671 or opened 6475 {its} beak 6310 or chirped 6850."
15 ¶ Is the axe 1631 to boast 6286 itself over 5921 the one who chops 2672 with it? Is the saw 4883 to exalt 1431 itself over 5921 the one who wields 5130 it? {That would be} like a club 7626 wielding 5130 those who lift 7311 it, {Or} like a rod 4294 lifting 7311 {him who} is not wood 6086.
16 Therefore 3651 the Lord 136, the GOD 3068 of hosts 6635, will send 7971 a wasting 7332 disease 7332 among his stout 4924 warriors 4924; And under 8478 his glory 3519 a fire 3350 will be kindled 3344 like a burning 3350 flame 784.
17 And the light 216 of Israel 3478 will become 1961 a fire 784 and his Holy 6918 One 6918 a flame 3852, And it will burn 1197 and devour 398 his thorns 7898 and his briars 8068 in a single 259 day 3117.
18 And He will destroy 3615 the glory 3519 of his forest 3293 and of his fruitful 3759 garden 3759, both 4480 soul 5315 and body 1320, And it will be as when a sick 5263 man 5263 wastes 4549 away 4549.
19 And the rest 7605 of the trees 6086 of his forest 3293 will be so small in number 4557 That a child 5288 could write 3789 them down 3789.

A Remnant Will Return

¶ Now in that day 3117 the remnant 7605 of Israel 3478, and those of the house 1004 of Jacob 3290 who 6413 have escaped 6413, will never 3808 again 3254 rely 8172 on the one who struck 5221 them, but will truly 571 rely 8172 on the LORD 3068, the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
21 A remnant 7605 will return 7725, the remnant 7605 of Jacob 3290, to the mighty 1368 God 410.
22 For though 518 your people 5971, O Israel 3478, may be like the sand 2344 of the sea 3220, {Only} a remnant 7605 within them will return 7725; A destruction 3631 is determined 2782, overflowing 7857 with righteousness 6666.
23 For a complete 3617 destruction 3617, one that is decreed 2782, the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635 will execute 6213 in the midst 7130 of the whole 3605 land 776.
24 ¶ Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635, "O My people 5971 who dwell 3427 in Zion 6726, do not fear 3372 the Assyrian 804 who strikes 5221 you with the rod 7626 and lifts 5375 up his staff 4294 against 5921 you, the way 1870 Egypt 4714 {did.}
25 "For in a very 4213 little 4592 while 5750 My indignation 2195 {against you} will be spent 3615 and My anger 639 {will be directed} to their destruction 8399."
26 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will arouse 5782 a scourge 7752 against 5921 him like the slaughter 4347 of Midian 4080 at the rock 6697 of Oreb 6159; and His staff 4294 will be over 5921 the sea 3220 and He will lift 5375 it up the way 1870 {He did} in Egypt 4714.
27 So it will be in that day 3117, that his burden 5448 will be removed 5493 from your shoulders 7926 and his yoke 5923 from your neck 6677, and the yoke 5923 will be broken 2254 because of fatness 8081.
28 ¶ He has come 935 against 5921 Aiath 5857, He has passed 5674 through Migron 4051; At Michmash 4363 he deposited 6485 his baggage 3627.
29 They have gone 5674 through 5674 the pass 4569, {saying,} "Geba 1387 will be our lodging 4411 place 4411." Ramah 7414 is terrified 2729, and Gibeah 1390 of Saul 7586 has fled 5127 away.
30 Cry 6670 aloud 6670 with your voice 6963, O daughter 1323 of Gallim 1554! Pay 7181 attention 7181, Laishah 3919 {and} wretched 6041 Anathoth 6068!
31 Madmenah 4088 has fled 5074. The inhabitants 3427 of Gebim 1374 have sought 5756 refuge 5756.
32 Yet 5750 today 3117 he will halt 5975 at Nob 5011; He shakes 5130 his fist 3027 at the mountain 2022 of the daughter 1004 of Zion 6726, the hill 1389 of Jerusalem 3389.
33 ¶ Behold 2009, the Lord 113, the GOD 3068 of hosts 6635, will lop 5586 off 5586 the boughs 6333 with a terrible 4637 crash 4637; Those also who are tall 7311 in stature 6967 will be cut 1438 down 1438 And those who 1364 are lofty 1364 will be abased 8213.
34 He will cut 5362 down 5362 the thickets 5442 of the forest 3293 with an iron 1270 {axe,} And Lebanon 3844 will fall 5307 by the Mighty 117 One 117.

Righteous Reign of the Branch

Then a shoot 2415 will spring 3318 from the stem 1503 of Jesse 3448, And a branch 5342 from his roots 8328 will bear 6509 fruit 6509.
2 The Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 will rest 5117 on Him, The spirit 7307 of wisdom 2451 and understanding 998, The spirit 7307 of counsel 6098 and strength 1369, The spirit 7307 of knowledge 1847 and the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068.
3 And He will delight 7381 in the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068, And He will not judge 8199 by what 4758 His eyes 5869 see 4758, Nor 3808 make 3198 a decision 3198 by what 4926 His ears 241 hear 4926;
4 But with righteousness 6664 He will judge 8199 the poor 1800, And decide 3198 with fairness 4334 for the afflicted 6035 of the earth 776; And He will strike 5221 the earth 776 with the rod 7626 of His mouth 6310, And with the breath 7307 of His lips 8193 He will slay 4191 the wicked 7563.
5 Also righteousness 6664 will be the belt 232 about His loins 2504, And faithfulness 530 the belt 232 about His waist 2504.
6 ¶ And the wolf 2061 will dwell 1481 with the lamb 3532, And the leopard 5246 will lie 7257 down 7257 with the young 1423 goat 1423, And the calf 5695 and the young 3715 lion 3715 and the fatling 4806 together 3164; And a little 6996 boy 5288 will lead 5090 them.
7 Also the cow 6510 and the bear 1677 will graze 7462, Their young 3206 will lie 7257 down 7257 together 3164, And the lion 743 will eat 398 straw 8401 like the ox 1241.
8 The nursing 3243 child will play 8173 by the hole 2352 of the cobra 6620, And the weaned 1580 child will put 1911 his hand 3027 on the viper's 6848 den 3975.
9 They will not hurt 7489 or destroy 7843 in all 3605 My holy 6944 mountain 2022, For the earth 776 will be full 4390 of the knowledge 1844 of the LORD 3068 As the waters 4325 cover 3680 the sea 3220.
10 ¶ Then in that day 3117 The nations 1471 will resort 1875 to the root 8328 of Jesse 3448, Who 834 will stand 5975 as a signal 5251 for the peoples 5971; And His resting 4496 place 4496 will be glorious 3519.
11

The Restored Remnant

¶ Then it will happen 1961 on that day 3117 that the Lord 136 Will again 3254 recover 7069 the second 8145 time 8145 with His hand 3027 The remnant 7605 of His people 5971, who 834 will remain 7604, From Assyria 804, Egypt 4714, Pathros 6624, Cush 3568, Elam 5867, Shinar 8152, Hamath 2574, And from the islands 339 of the sea 3220.
12 And He will lift 5375 up a standard 5251 for the nations 1471 And assemble 622 the banished 5080 ones of Israel 3478, And will gather 6908 the dispersed 5310 of Judah 3063 From the four 702 corners 3671 of the earth 776.
13 Then the jealousy 7068 of Ephraim 669 will depart 5493, And those who harass 6887 Judah 3063 will be cut 3772 off 3772; Ephraim 669 will not be jealous 7065 of Judah 3063, And Judah 3063 will not harass 6887 Ephraim 669.
14 They will swoop 5774 down 5774 on the slopes 3802 of the Philistines 6430 on the west 3220; Together 3164 they will plunder 962 the sons 1121 of the east 6924; They will possess Edom 112 and Moab 4124, And the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 will be subject 4928 to them.
15 And the LORD 3068 will utterly 2763 destroy 2763 The tongue 3956 of the Sea 3220 of Egypt 4714; And He will wave 5130 His hand 3027 over 5921 the River 5104 With His scorching 5868 wind 7307; And He will strike 5221 it into seven 7651 streams 5158 And make {men} walk 1869 over dry-shod 5275.
16 And there will be a highway 4546 from Assyria 804 For the remnant 7605 of His people 5971 who 834 will be left 7604, Just 3512 as there was for Israel 3478 In the day 3117 that they came 5927 up out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.

Thanksgiving Expressed

Then you will say 559 on that day 3117, "I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to You, O LORD 3068; For although You were angry 599 with me, Your anger 639 is turned 7725 away 7725, And You comfort 5162 me.
2 "Behold 2009, God 410 is my salvation 3444, I will trust 982 and not be afraid 6342; For the LORD 3050 GOD 3068 is my strength 5797 and song 2176, And He has become 1961 my salvation 3444."
3 Therefore you will joyously 8342 draw 7579 water 4325 From the springs 4599 of salvation 3444.
4 And in that day 3117 you will say 559, "Give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, call 7121 on His name 8034. Make 3045 known 3045 His deeds 5949 among the peoples 5971; Make {them} remember 2142 that His name 8034 is exalted 7682."
5 Praise 2167 the LORD 3068 in song 2167, for He has done 6213 excellent 1348 things 1348; Let this 384 be known 3045 throughout 3605 the earth 776.
6 Cry 6670 aloud 6670 and shout 7442 for joy 7442, O inhabitant 3427 of Zion 6726, For great 1419 in your midst 7130 is the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.

Prophecies about Babylon

The oracle 4853 concerning Babylon 894 which 834 Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 saw 2372.
2 Lift 5375 up a standard 5251 on the bare 8192 hill 2022, Raise 7311 your voice 6963 to them, Wave 5130 the hand 3027 that they may enter 935 the doors 6607 of the nobles 5081.
3 I have commanded 6680 My consecrated 6942 ones, I have even 1571 called 7121 My mighty 1368 warriors 1368, My proudly 1346 exulting 5947 ones 5947, To {execute} My anger 639.
4 A sound 6963 of tumult 1995 on the mountains 2022, Like 1823 that of many 7227 people 5971! A sound 6963 of the uproar 7588 of kingdoms 4467, Of nations 1471 gathered 622 together! The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is mustering 6485 the army 6635 for battle 4421.
5 They are coming 935 from a far 4801 country 776, From the farthest 7093 horizons 8064, The LORD 3068 and His instruments 3627 of indignation 2195, To destroy 2254 the whole 3605 land 776.

Judgment on the Day of the L\{ORD}/

Wail 3213, for the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 is near 7138! It will come 935 as destruction 7701 from the Almighty 7706.
7 Therefore all 3605 hands 3027 will fall 7503 limp 7503, And every 3605 man's 582 heart 3824 will melt 4549.
8 They will be terrified 926, Pains 6735 and anguish 2256 will take 270 hold 270 of {them;} They will writhe 2342 like a woman in labor 3205, They will look 8539 at one 376 another 7453 in astonishment 8539, Their faces 6440 aflame 3857.
9 Behold 2009, the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 is coming 935, Cruel 394, with fury 5678 and burning 2740 anger 639, To make 7760 the land 776 a desolation 8047; And He will exterminate 8045 its sinners 2400 from it.
10 For the stars 3556 of heaven 4605 and their constellations 3685 Will not flash 1984 forth 1984 their light 216; The sun 8121 will be dark 2821 when it rises 3318 And the moon 3394 will not shed 5050 its light 216.
11 Thus I will punish 6485 the world 8398 for its evil 7463 And the wicked 7563 for their iniquity 5771; I will also put 7673 an end 7673 to the arrogance 1347 of the proud 2086 And abase 8213 the haughtiness 1346 of the ruthless 6184.
12 I will make 3365 mortal 582 man 582 scarcer 3365 than 4480 pure 6337 gold 6337 And mankind 120 than 4480 the gold 3800 of Ophir 211.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens 8064 tremble 7264, And the earth 776 will be shaken 7493 from its place 4725 At the fury 5678 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 In the day 3117 of His burning 2740 anger 639.
14 And it will be that like a hunted 5080 gazelle 6643, Or like sheep 6629 with none 369 to gather 6908 {them,} They will each 376 turn 6437 to his own people 5971, And each 376 one 376 flee 5127 to his own land 776.
15 Anyone 3605 who is found 4672 will be thrust 1856 through 1856, And anyone 3605 who is captured 5595 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719.
16 Their little 5768 ones 5768 also will be dashed 7376 to pieces 7376 Before their eyes 5869; Their houses 1004 will be plundered 8155 And their wives 802 ravished 7693.

Babylon Will Fall to the Medes

¶ Behold 2009, I am going to stir 5782 up the Medes 4074 against 5921 them, Who 834 will not value 2803 silver 3701 or take 2654 pleasure 2654 in gold 2091.
18 And {their} bows 7198 will mow 7376 down 7376 the young 5288 men 5288, They will not even have 7355 compassion 7355 on the fruit 6529 of the womb 990, {Nor} will their eye 5869 pity 2347 children 1121.
19 And Babylon 894, the beauty 6643 of kingdoms 4467, the glory 8597 of the Chaldeans' 3778 pride 1347, Will be as when God 430 overthrew 4114 Sodom 5467 and Gomorrah 6017.
20 It will never be inhabited 3427 or lived 7931 in from generation 1755 to generation 1755; Nor 3808 will the Arab 6163 pitch 167 {his} tent 167 there 8033, Nor 3808 will shepherds 7462 make {their flocks} lie 7257 down 7257 there 8033.
21 But desert 6716 creatures 6716 will lie 7257 down 7257 there 8033, And their houses 1004 will be full 4390 of owls 255; Ostriches 3284 also will live 7931 there 8033, and shaggy 8163 goats 8163 will frolic 7540 there 8033.
22 Hyenas 338 will howl 6031 in their fortified 490 towers And jackals 8565 in their luxurious 6027 palaces 1964. Her {fateful} time 6256 also will soon 7138 come 935 And her days 3117 will not be prolonged 4900.

Israel's Taunt

When 3588 the LORD 3068 will have 7355 compassion 7355 on Jacob 3290 and again 5750 choose 977 Israel 3478, and settle 5117 them in their own land 127, then strangers 1616 will join 3867 them and attach 5596 themselves to the house 1004 of Jacob 3290.
2 The peoples 5971 will take 3947 them along and bring 935 them to their place 4725, and the house 1004 of Israel 3478 will possess 5157 them as an inheritance 5157 in the land 127 of the LORD 3068 as male 5650 servants 5650 and female 8198 servants; and they will take 1961 their captors 7617 captive 7617 and will rule 7287 over their oppressors 5065.
3 ¶ And it will be in the day 3117 when the LORD 3068 gives 5117 you rest 5117 from your pain 6090 and turmoil 7267 and harsh 7186 service 5656 in which 834 you have been enslaved 5647,
4 that you will take 5375 up this 2088 taunt 4912 against 5921 the king 4428 of Babylon 894, and say 559, "How 349 the oppressor 5065 has ceased 7673, {And how} fury 4787 has ceased 7673!
5 "The LORD 3068 has broken 7665 the staff 4294 of the wicked 7563, The scepter 7626 of rulers 4910
6 Which used to strike 5221 the peoples 5971 in fury 5678 with unceasing strokes 4347, Which subdued 7287 the nations 1471 in anger 639 with unrestrained persecution 4783.
7 "The whole 3605 earth 776 is at rest 5117 {and} is quiet 8252; They break 6476 forth 6476 into shouts 7440 of joy 7440.
8 "Even 1571 the cypress 1265 trees 1265 rejoice 8055 over you, {and} the cedars 730 of Lebanon 3844, {saying,} 'Since 3975 you were laid 7901 low 7901, no 3808 {tree} cutter 3772 comes 5927 up against 5921 us.'
9 "Sheol 7585 from beneath is excited 7264 over you to meet 7122 you when you come 935; It arouses 5782 for you the spirits 7496 of the dead 7496, all 3605 the leaders 6260 of the earth 776; It raises 6965 all 3605 the kings 4428 of the nations 1471 from their thrones 3678.
10 "They will all 3605 respond 6030 and say 559 to you, 'Even 1571 you have been made 2470 weak 2470 as we, You have become 4911 like 4911 us.
11 'Your pomp 1347 {and} the music 1998 of your harps 5035 Have been brought 3381 down 3381 to Sheol 7585; Maggots 7415 are spread 3331 out {as your bed} beneath 8478 you And worms 8439 are your covering 4374.'
12 "How 349 you have fallen 5307 from heaven 4605, O star 1966 of the morning 1966, son 1121 of the dawn 7837! You have been cut 1438 down 1438 to the earth 776, You who have weakened 2522 the nations 1471!
13 "But you said 559 in your heart 3824, 'I will ascend 5927 to heaven 4605; I will raise 7311 my throne 3678 above 4605 the stars 3556 of God 410, And I will sit 3427 on the mount 2022 of assembly 4150 In the recesses 3411 of the north 6828.
14 'I will ascend 5927 above 5921 the heights 1116 of the clouds 5645; I will make 1819 myself like 1819 the Most 5945 High 5945.'
15 "Nevertheless 389 you will be thrust 3381 down 3381 to Sheol 7585, To the recesses 3411 of the pit 953.
16 "Those who see 7200 you will gaze 7688 at you, They will ponder 995 over 413 you, {saying,} 'Is this 2088 the man 376 who made the earth 776 tremble 7264, Who shook 7493 kingdoms 4467,
17 Who made 7760 the world 8398 like a wilderness 4057 And overthrew 2040 its cities 5892, Who did not allow 6605 his prisoners 615 to {go} home 1004?'
18 "All 3605 the kings 4428 of the nations 1471 lie 7901 in glory 3519, Each 376 in his own tomb 1004.
19 "But you have been cast 7993 out of your tomb 6913 Like a rejected 8581 branch 5342, Clothed 3830 with the slain 2026 who are pierced 2944 with a sword 2719, Who go 3381 down 3381 to the stones 68 of the pit 953 Like a trampled 947 corpse 6297.
20 "You will not be united 3161 with them in burial 6900, Because 3588 you have ruined 7843 your country 776, You have slain 2026 your people 5971. May the offspring 2233 of evildoers 7489 not be mentioned 7121 forever 5769.
21 "Prepare 3559 for his sons 1121 a place 4293 of slaughter 4293 Because of the iniquity 5771 of their fathers 1. They must not arise 6965 and take 3423 possession 3423 of the earth 776 And fill 4390 the face 6440 of the world 8398 with cities 5892."
22 "I will rise 6965 up against 5921 them," declares 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, "and will cut 3772 off 3772 from Babylon 894 name 8034 and survivors 7605, offspring 5209 and posterity 5220," declares 5002 the LORD 3068.
23 "I will also make 7760 it a possession 4180 for the hedgehog 7090 and swamps 98 of water 4325, and I will sweep 2894 it with the broom 4292 of destruction 8045," declares 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.

Judgment on Assyria

The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 has sworn 7650 saying 559, "Surely, just 3512 as I have intended 1819 so 3651 it has happened 1961, and just 3512 as I have planned 3289 so it will stand 6965,
25 to break 7665 Assyria 804 in My land 776, and I will trample 947 him on My mountains 2022. Then his yoke 5923 will be removed 5493 from them and his burden 5448 removed 5493 from their shoulder 7926.
26 "This 384 is the plan 6098 devised 3289 against 5921 the whole 3605 earth 776; and this 384 is the hand 3027 that is stretched 5186 out against 5921 all 3605 the nations 1471.
27 "For the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 has planned 3289, and who 4310 can frustrate 6565 {it?} And as for His stretched-out 5186 hand 3027, who 4310 can turn 7725 it back 7725?"

Judgment on Philistia

"Do not rejoice 8055, O Philistia 6429, all 3605 of you, Because 3588 the rod 7626 that struck 5221 you is broken 7665; For from the serpent's 5175 root 8328 a viper 6848 will come 3318 out, And its fruit 6529 will be a flying 5774 serpent 8314.
30 "Those who are most 1060 helpless 1800 will eat 7462, And the needy 34 will lie 7257 down 7257 in security 983; I will destroy 4191 your root 8328 with famine 7458, And it will kill 2026 off your survivors 7611.
31 "Wail 3213, O gate 8179; cry 2199, O city 5892; Melt 4127 away, O Philistia 6429, all 3605 of you; For smoke 6227 comes 935 from the north 6828, And there 369 is no 369 straggler 909 in his ranks 4151.
32 "How 4100 then will one answer 6030 the messengers 4397 of the nation 1471? That the LORD 3068 has founded 3245 Zion 6726, And the afflicted 6041 of His people 5971 will seek 2620 refuge 2620 in it."

Judgment on Moab

The oracle 4853 concerning Moab 4124. Surely 3588 in a night 3915 Ar 6144 of Moab 4124 is devastated 7703 {and} ruined 1820; Surely 3588 in a night 3915 Kir 7024 of Moab 4124 is devastated 7703 {and} ruined 1820.
2 They have gone 5927 up to the temple 1004 and {to} Dibon 1769, {even} to the high 1116 places 1116 to weep 1065. Moab 4124 wails 3213 over 5921 Nebo 5015 and Medeba 4311; Everyone's 3605 head 7218 is bald 7144 {and} every 3605 beard 2206 is cut 1639 off 1639.
3 In their streets 2351 they have girded 2296 themselves with sackcloth 8242; On their housetops 1406 and in their squares 7339 Everyone 3605 is wailing 3213, dissolved 3381 in tears 1065.
4 Heshbon 2809 and Elealeh 500 also cry 2199 out, Their voice 6963 is heard 8085 all 5704 the way 5704 to Jahaz 3096; Therefore the armed 2502 men of Moab 4124 cry 7321 aloud 7321; His soul 5315 trembles 3415 within him.
5 My heart 3820 cries 2199 out for Moab 4124; His fugitives 1281 are as far 5704 as Zoar 6820 {and} Eglath-shelishiyah, For they go 5927 up the ascent 4608 of Luhith 3872 weeping 1065; Surely 3588 on the road 1870 to Horonaim 2773 they raise 5782 a cry 2201 of distress 2201 over {their} ruin 7667.
6 For the waters 4325 of Nimrim 5249 are desolate 4923. Surely 3588 the grass 2682 is withered 3001, the tender 1877 grass 1877 died 3615 out, There is no 3808 green 3418 thing 3418.
7 Therefore the abundance 3502 {which} they have acquired 6213 and stored 6486 up They carry 5375 off over 5921 the brook 5158 of Arabim 6155.
8 For the cry 2201 of distress 2201 has gone 5362 around 5362 the territory 1366 of Moab 4124, Its wail 3215 {goes} as far 5704 as Eglaim 97 and its wailing 3213 even to Beer-elim 879.
9 For the waters 4325 of Dimon 1775 are full 4390 of blood 1818; Surely 3588 I will bring 7896 added 3254 {woes} upon Dimon 1775, A lion 743 upon the fugitives 6413 of Moab 4124 and upon the remnant 7611 of the land 127.

Prophecy of Moab's Devastation

Send 7971 the {tribute} lamb 3733 to the ruler 4910 of the land 776, From Sela 5554 by way of the wilderness 4057 to the mountain 2022 of the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726.
2 Then, like fleeing 5074 birds 5775 {or} scattered 7971 nestlings 7064, The daughters 1323 of Moab 4124 will be at the fords 4569 of the Arnon 769.
3 "Give 935 {us} advice 6098, make 6213 a decision 6415; Cast 7896 your shadow 6738 like night 3915 at high 8432 noon 6672; Hide 5641 the outcasts 5080, do not betray 1540 the fugitive 5074.
4 "Let the outcasts 5080 of Moab 4124 stay 1481 with you; Be a hiding 5643 place 5643 to them from the destroyer 7703." For the extortioner 4671 has come 656 to an end 656, destruction 7701 has ceased 3615, Oppressors 7429 have completely 8552 {disappeared} from the land 776.
5 A throne 3678 will even be established 3559 in lovingkindness 2617, And a judge 8199 will sit 3427 on it in faithfulness 571 in the tent 168 of David 1732; Moreover, he will seek 1875 justice 4941 And be prompt 4106 in righteousness 6664.
6 ¶ We have heard 8085 of the pride 1347 of Moab 4124, an excessive 3966 pride 1343; {Even} of his arrogance 1346, pride 1347, and fury 5678; His idle 907 boasts 907 are false.
7 Therefore 3651 Moab 4124 will wail 3213; everyone 3605 of Moab 4124 will wail 3213. You will moan 1897 for the raisin 809 cakes 809 of Kir-hareseth 7025 As those who 5218 are utterly 389 stricken 5218.
8 For the fields 7709 of Heshbon 2809 have withered 535, the vines 1612 of Sibmah 7643 {as well;} The lords 1167 of the nations 1471 have trampled 1986 down 1986 its choice 8291 clusters 8291 Which reached 5060 as far 5704 as Jazer 3270 {and} wandered 8582 to the deserts 4057; Its tendrils 7976 spread 5203 themselves out {and} passed 5674 over 5674 the sea 3220.
9 Therefore I will weep 1058 bitterly 1065 for Jazer 3270, for the vine 1612 of Sibmah 7643; I will drench 7301 you with my tears 1832, O Heshbon 2809 and Elealeh 500; For the shouting 1959 over 5921 your summer 7019 fruits 7019 and your harvest 7105 has fallen 5307 away 5307.
10 Gladness 8057 and joy 1524 are taken 622 away 622 from the fruitful 3759 field 3759; In the vineyards 3754 also there will be no 3808 cries 7442 of joy 7442 or jubilant 7321 shouting 7321, No 3808 treader 1869 treads 1869 out wine 3196 in the presses 3342, {For} I have made the shouting 1959 to cease 7673.
11 Therefore my heart 4578 intones 1993 like a harp 3658 for Moab 4124 And my inward 7130 feelings 7130 for Kir-hareseth 7025.
12 So it will come 1961 about when 3588 Moab 4124 presents 7200 himself, When 3588 he wearies 3811 himself upon {his} high 1116 place 1116 And comes 935 to his sanctuary 4720 to pray 6419, That he will not prevail 3201.
13 ¶ This 2088 is the word 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 earlier 3975 concerning 413 Moab 4124.
14 But now 6258 the LORD 3068 speaks 1696, saying 559, "Within three 7969 years 8141, as a hired 7916 man 7916 would count 8141 them, the glory 3519 of Moab 4124 will be degraded 7034 along with all 3605 {his} great 7227 population 1995, and {his} remnant 7605 will be very 4213 small 4592 {and} impotent."

Prophecy about Damascus

The oracle 4853 concerning Damascus 1834. "Behold 2009, Damascus 1834 is about to be removed 5493 from being a city 5892 And will become 1961 a fallen 4654 ruin 4596.
2 "The cities 5892 of Aroer 6177 are forsaken 5800; They will be for flocks 5739 to lie 7257 down 7257 in, And there 369 will be no 369 one 369 to frighten 2729 {them.}
3 "The fortified 4013 city 4013 will disappear 7673 from Ephraim 669, And sovereignty 4467 from Damascus 1834 And the remnant 7605 of Aram 758; They will be like the glory 3519 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478," Declares 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
4 ¶ Now in that day 3117 the glory 3519 of Jacob 3290 will fade 1809, And the fatness 4924 of his flesh 1320 will become 7329 lean 7329.
5 It will be even like the reaper 622 gathering 7105 the standing 7054 grain 7054, As his arm 2220 harvests 7114 the ears 7641, Or it will be like one gleaning 3950 ears 7641 of grain 7641 In the valley 6010 of Rephaim 7497.
6 Yet gleanings 5955 will be left 7604 in it like the shaking 5363 of an olive 2132 tree 2132, Two 8147 {or} three 7969 olives 1620 on the topmost bough 534, Four 702 {or} five 2568 on the branches 5585 of a fruitful 6509 tree 6509, Declares 5002 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478.
7 In that day 3117 man 120 will have 8159 regard 8159 for his Maker 6213 And his eyes 5869 will look 7200 to the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
8 He will not have 8159 regard 8159 for the altars 4196, the work 4639 of his hands 3027, Nor 3808 will he look 7200 to that which 834 his fingers 676 have made 6213, Even the Asherim 842 and incense 2553 stands 2553.
9 In that day 3117 their strong 4581 cities 5892 will be like forsaken 5805 places 5805 in the forest 2793, Or like branches 534 which 834 they abandoned 5800 before the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; And the land will be a desolation 8077.
10 For you have forgotten 7911 the God 430 of your salvation 3468 And have not remembered 2142 the rock 6697 of your refuge 4581. Therefore you plant 5193 delightful 5282 plants 5194 And set 2232 them with vine 2156 slips 2156 of a strange 2114 {god.}
11 In the day 3117 that you plant 5194 {it} you carefully 5473 fence 5473 {it} in, And in the morning 1242 you bring 6524 your seed 2233 to blossom 6524; {But} the harvest 7105 will {be} a heap 5067 In a day 3117 of sickliness 2470 and incurable 605 pain 3511.
12 ¶ Alas 1945, the uproar 1995 of many 7227 peoples 5971 Who roar 1993 like the roaring 1993 of the seas 3220, And the rumbling 7588 of nations 3816 Who rush 7582 on like the rumbling 7588 of mighty 3524 waters 4325!
13 The nations 3816 rumble 7582 on like the rumbling 7588 of many 7227 waters 4325, But He will rebuke 1605 them and they will flee 5127 far 4801 away 4801, And be chased 7291 like chaff 4671 in the mountains 2022 before 6440 the wind 7307, Or like whirling 1534 dust 1534 before 6440 a gale 5492.
14 At evening 6153 time 6256, behold 2009, {there is} terror 1091! Before 2962 morning 1242 they are no 369 more 369. Such 2088 {will be} the portion 2506 of those who plunder 962 us And the lot 1486 of those who pillage 962 us.

Message to Ethiopia

Alas 1945, oh land 776 of whirring 6767 wings 3671 Which 834 lies beyond the rivers 5104 of Cush 3568,
2 Which sends 7971 envoys 6735 by the sea 3220, Even in papyrus 1573 vessels 3627 on the surface 6440 of the waters 4325. Go 1980, swift 7031 messengers 4397, to a nation 1471 tall 4900 and smooth 4803, To a people 5971 feared 3372 far and wide 1973, A powerful 6978 and oppressive 4001 nation 1471 Whose 834 land 776 the rivers 5104 divide 958.
3 All 3605 you inhabitants 3427 of the world 8398 and dwellers 7931 on earth 776, As soon as a standard 5251 is raised 5375 on the mountains 2022, you will see 7200 {it,} And as soon as the trumpet 7782 is blown 8628, you will hear 8085 {it.}
4 For thus 3541 the LORD 3068 has told 559 me, "I will look 5027 from My dwelling 4349 place 4349 quietly 8252 Like dazzling 6703 heat 2527 in the sunshine 216, Like a cloud 5645 of dew 2919 in the heat 2527 of harvest 7105."
5 For before 6440 the harvest 7105, as soon as the bud 6525 blossoms 8552 And the flower 5328 becomes 1961 a ripening 1580 grape 1155, Then He will cut 3772 off 3772 the sprigs 2150 with pruning 4211 knives 4211 And remove 5493 {and} cut 8456 away 8456 the spreading 5189 branches 5189.
6 They will be left 5800 together 3164 for mountain 2022 birds 5861 of prey 5861, And for the beasts 929 of the earth 776; And the birds 5861 of prey 5861 will spend 7019 the summer 7019 {feeding} on them, And all 3605 the beasts 929 of the earth 776 will spend 2778 harvest 2778 time 2778 on them.
7 At that time 6256 a gift 7862 of homage 7862 will be brought 2986 to the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 From a people 5971 tall 4900 and smooth 4803, Even from a people 5971 feared 3372 far and wide 1973, A powerful 6978 and oppressive 4001 nation 1471, Whose 834 land 776 the rivers 5104 divide 958-- To the place 4725 of the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, {even} Mount 2022 Zion 6726.

Message to Egypt

The oracle 4853 concerning Egypt 4714. Behold 2009, the LORD 3068 is riding 7392 on a swift 7031 cloud 5645 and is about to come 935 to Egypt 4714; The idols 457 of Egypt 4714 will tremble 5128 at His presence 6440, And the heart 3824 of the Egyptians 4714 will melt 4549 within 7130 them.
2 "So I will incite 5526 Egyptians 4714 against Egyptians 4714; And they will each 376 fight 3898 against his brother 251 and each 376 against his neighbor 7453, City 5892 against city 5892 {and} kingdom 4467 against kingdom 4467.
3 "Then the spirit 7307 of the Egyptians 4714 will be demoralized 1238 within 7130 them; And I will confound 1104 their strategy 6098, So that they will resort 1875 to idols 457 and ghosts 330 of the dead 330 And to mediums 178 and spiritists 3049.
4 "Moreover, I will deliver 5534 the Egyptians 4714 into the hand 3027 of a cruel 7186 master 113, And a mighty 5794 king 4428 will rule 4910 over them," declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635.
5 ¶ The waters 4325 from the sea 3220 will dry 5405 up, And the river 5104 will be parched 2717 and dry 3001.
6 The canals 5104 will emit 2186 a stench 2186, The streams 2975 of Egypt 4693 will thin 1809 out and dry 2717 up; The reeds 7070 and rushes 5488 will rot 7060 away 7060.
7 The bulrushes 6169 by the Nile 2975, by the edge 6310 of the Nile 2975 And all 3605 the sown 4218 fields 4218 by the Nile 2975 Will become 3001 dry 3001, be driven 5086 away 5086, and be no 369 more 369.
8 And the fishermen 1728 will lament 578, And all 3605 those who cast 7993 a line 2443 into the Nile 2975 will mourn 56, And those who spread 6566 nets 4365 on the waters 4325 will pine 535 away 535.
9 Moreover, the manufacturers 5647 of linen 6593 made from combed 8305 flax 6593 And the weavers 707 of white 2360 cloth 2360 will be utterly 954 dejected 954.
10 And the pillars 8356 {of Egypt} will be crushed 1792; All 3605 the hired 7938 laborers 6213 will be grieved 99 in soul 5315.
11 ¶ The princes 8269 of Zoan 6814 are mere 389 fools 191; The advice 6098 of Pharaoh's 6547 wisest 2450 advisers 3289 has become 1197 stupid 1197. How 349 can you {men} say 559 to Pharaoh 6547, "I am a son 1121 of the wise 2450, a son 1121 of ancient 6924 kings 4428"?
12 Well 645 then 645, where 335 are your wise 2450 men 2450? Please 4994 let them tell 5046 you, And let them understand 3045 what 4100 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 Has purposed 3289 against 5921 Egypt 4714.
13 The princes 8269 of Zoan 6814 have acted 2973 foolishly 2973, The princes 8269 of Memphis 5297 are deluded 5378; {Those who are} the cornerstone 6438 of her tribes 7626 Have led 8582 Egypt 4714 astray 8582.
14 The LORD 3068 has mixed 4537 within 7130 her a spirit 7307 of distortion 5773; They have led 8582 Egypt 4714 astray 8582 in all 3605 that it does 4639, As a drunken 7910 man 7910 staggers 8582 in his vomit 7006.
15 There will be no 3808 work 4639 for Egypt 4714 Which 834 {its} head 7218 or tail 2180, {its} palm 3712 branch 3712 or bulrush 100, may do 6213.
16 ¶ In that day 3117 the Egyptians 4714 will become 1961 like women 802, and they will tremble 2729 and be in dread 6342 because of the waving 5130 of the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, which 834 He is going to wave 5130 over 5921 them.
17 The land 127 of Judah 3063 will become 1961 a terror 2283 to Egypt 4714; everyone 3605 to whom 834 it is mentioned 2142 will be in dread 6342 of it, because of the purpose 6098 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 which 834 He is purposing 3289 against 5921 them.
18 ¶ In that day 3117 five 2568 cities 5892 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 will be speaking 1696 the language 8193 of Canaan 3667 and swearing 7650 {allegiance} to the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; one 259 will be called 559 the City 5892 of Destruction 2041.
19 ¶ In that day 3117 there will be an altar 4196 to the LORD 3068 in the midst 8432 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and a pillar 4676 to the LORD 3068 near 681 its border 1366.
20 It will become 1961 a sign 226 and a witness 5707 to the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714; for they will cry 6817 to the LORD 3068 because of oppressors 3905, and He will send 7971 them a Savior 3467 and a Champion 7227, and He will deliver 5337 them.
21 Thus the LORD 3068 will make 3045 Himself known 3045 to Egypt 4714, and the Egyptians 4714 will know 3045 the LORD 3068 in that day 3117. They will even worship 5647 with sacrifice 2077 and offering 4503, and will make 5087 a vow 5088 to the LORD 3068 and perform 7999 it.
22 The LORD 3068 will strike 5062 Egypt 4714, striking 5062 but healing 7495; so they will return 7725 to the LORD 3068, and He will respond 6279 to them and will heal 7495 them.
23 ¶ In that day 3117 there will be a highway 4546 from Egypt 4714 to Assyria 804, and the Assyrians 804 will come 935 into Egypt 4714 and the Egyptians 4714 into Assyria 804, and the Egyptians 4714 will worship 5647 with the Assyrians 804.
24 ¶ In that day 3117 Israel 3478 will be the third 7992 {party} with Egypt 4714 and Assyria 804, a blessing 1293 in the midst 7130 of the earth 776,
25 whom 834 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 has blessed 1288, saying 559, "Blessed 1288 is Egypt 4714 My people 5971, and Assyria 804 the work 4639 of My hands 3027, and Israel 3478 My inheritance 5159."

Prophecy about Egypt and Ethiopia

In the year 8141 that the commander 8661 came 935 to Ashdod 795, when Sargon 5623 the king 4428 of Assyria 804 sent 7971 him and he fought 3898 against Ashdod 795 and captured 3920 it,
2 at that time 6256 the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 through 3027 Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531, saying 559, "Go 1980 and loosen 6605 the sackcloth 8242 from your hips 4975 and take 2502 your shoes 5275 off 4480 your feet 7272." And he did 6213 so 3651, going 1980 naked 6174 and barefoot 3182.
3 And the LORD 3068 said 559, "Even 3512 as My servant 5650 Isaiah 3470 has gone 1980 naked 6174 and barefoot 3182 three 7969 years 8141 as a sign 226 and token 4159 against 5921 Egypt 4714 and Cush 3568,
4 so 3651 the king 4428 of Assyria 804 will lead 5090 away 5090 the captives 7628 of Egypt 4714 and the exiles 1546 of Cush 3568, young 5288 and old 2205, naked 6174 and barefoot 3182 with buttocks 8351 uncovered 2834, to the shame 6172 of Egypt 4714.
5 "Then they will be dismayed 2865 and ashamed 954 because 4480 of Cush 3568 their hope 4007 and Egypt 4714 their boast 8597.
6 "So the inhabitants 3427 of this 2008 coastland 339 will say 559 in that day 3117, 'Behold 2009, such 3541 is our hope 4007, where we fled 5127 for help 5833 to be delivered 5337 from the king 4428 of Assyria 804; and we, how 349 shall we escape 4422?'"

God Commands That Babylon Be Taken

The oracle 4853 concerning the wilderness 4057 of the sea 3220. As windstorms 5492 in the Negev 5045 sweep 2498 on, It comes 935 from the wilderness 4057, from a terrifying 3372 land 776.
2 A harsh 7186 vision 2380 has been shown 5046 to me; The treacherous 898 one {still} deals 898 treacherously 898, and the destroyer 7703 {still} destroys 7703. Go 5927 up, Elam 5867, lay 6696 siege 6696, Media 4074; I have made 7673 an end 7673 of all 3605 the groaning 603 she has caused.
3 For this 3651 reason my loins 4975 are full 4390 of anguish 2479; Pains 6735 have seized 270 me like the pains 6735 of a woman in labor 3205. I am so 4480 bewildered 5753 I cannot 4480 hear 8085, so 4480 terrified 926 I cannot 4480 see 7200.
4 My mind 3824 reels 8582, horror 6427 overwhelms 1204 me; The twilight 5399 I longed 2837 for has been turned 7760 for me into trembling 2731.
5 They set 6186 the table 7979, they spread 6823 out the cloth 6844, they eat 398, they drink 8354; "Rise 6965 up, captains 8269, oil 4886 the shields 4043,"
6 For thus 3541 the Lord 136 says 559 to me, "Go 1980, station 5975 the lookout 6822, let him report 5046 what 834 he sees 7200.
7 "When he sees 7200 riders 7393, horsemen 6571 in pairs 6776, A train 7393 of donkeys 2543, a train 7393 of camels 1581, Let him pay 7181 close 7182 attention 7181, very 7227 close 7182 attention 7182."
8 Then the lookout 4707 called 7121, "O Lord 136, I stand 5975 continually 8548 by day 3119 on the watchtower 4707, And I am stationed 5324 every 3605 night 3915 at my guard 4931 post 4931.
9 "Now behold 2009, here 2088 comes 935 a troop 376 of riders 7393, horsemen 6571 in pairs 6776." And one said 559, "Fallen 5307, fallen 5307 is Babylon 894; And all 3605 the images 6456 of her gods 430 are shattered 7665 on the ground 776."
10 O my threshed 4098 {people,} and my afflicted 1121 of the threshing 1637 floor 1637! What 834 I have heard 8085 from the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, The God 430 of Israel 3478, I make 5046 known 5046 to you.

Oracles about Edom and Arabia

¶ The oracle 4853 concerning Edom 112. One keeps calling 7121 to me from Seir 8165, "Watchman 8104, how 4100 far gone 4480 is the night 3915? Watchman 8104, how 4100 far gone 4480 is the night 3915?"
12 The watchman 8104 says 559, "Morning 1242 comes 857 but also 1571 night 3915. If 518 you would inquire 1158, inquire 1158; Come 857 back 7725 again 7725."
13 ¶ The oracle 4853 about Arabia 6152. In the thickets 3293 of Arabia 6152 you must spend 3885 the night 3885, O caravans 736 of Dedanites 1720.
14 Bring 857 water 4325 for the thirsty 6771, O inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 of Tema 8485, Meet 6923 the fugitive 5074 with bread 3899.
15 For they have fled 5074 from the swords 2719, From the drawn 5203 sword 2719, and from the bent 1869 bow 7198 And from the press 3514 of battle 4421.
16 ¶ For thus 3541 the Lord 136 said 559 to me, "In a year 8141, as a hired 7916 man 7916 would count 8141 it, all 3605 the splendor 3519 of Kedar 6938 will terminate 3615;
17 and the remainder 7605 of the number 4557 of bowmen 7198, the mighty 1368 men 1368 of the sons 1121 of Kedar 6938, will be few 4591; for the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 has spoken 1696."

The Valley of Vision

The oracle 4853 concerning the valley 1516 of vision 2384. What 4100 is the matter with you now 645, that you have all 3605 gone 5927 up to the housetops 1406?
2 You who 4392 were full 4392 of noise 8663, You boisterous 1993 town 5892, you exultant 5947 city 7151; Your slain 2491 were not slain 2491 with the sword 2719, Nor 3808 did they die 4191 in battle 4421.
3 All 3605 your rulers 7101 have fled 5074 together 3162, {And} have been captured 631 without 4480 the bow 7198; All 3605 of you who were found 4672 were taken 631 captive 631 together 3164, Though they had fled 1272 far 7350 away.
4 Therefore I say 559, "Turn 8159 your eyes 8159 away 4480 from me, Let me weep 1065 bitterly 4843, Do not try 213 to comfort 5162 me concerning 5921 the destruction 7701 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971."
5 For the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635 has a day 3117 of panic 4103, subjugation 4001 and confusion 3998 In the valley 1516 of vision 2384, A breaking 7175 down 7175 of walls 7023 And a crying 7771 to the mountain 2022.
6 Elam 5867 took 5375 up the quiver 827 With the chariots 7393, infantry 120 {and} horsemen 6571; And Kir 7024 uncovered 6168 the shield 4043.
7 Then your choicest 4005 valleys 6010 were full 4390 of chariots 7393, And the horsemen 6571 took 7896 up fixed 7896 positions 7896 at the gate 8179.
8 And He removed 1540 the defense 4539 of Judah 3063. In that day 3117 you depended 5027 on the weapons 5402 of the house 1004 of the forest 3293,
9 And you saw 7200 that the breaches 1233 In the {wall} of the city 5892 of David 1732 were many 7231; And you collected 6908 the waters 4325 of the lower 8481 pool 1295.
10 Then you counted 5608 the houses 1004 of Jerusalem 3389 And tore 5422 down 5422 houses 1004 to fortify 1219 the wall 2346.
11 And you made 6213 a reservoir 4724 between 996 the two 2346 walls 2346 For the waters 4325 of the old 3465 pool 1295. But you did not depend 5027 on Him who made 6213 it, Nor 3808 did you take 7200 into consideration 7200 Him who planned 3335 it long 7350 ago 7350.
12 ¶ Therefore in that day 3117 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635 called 7121 {you} to weeping 1065, to wailing 4553, To shaving 7144 the head 7144 and to wearing 2296 sackcloth 8242.
13 Instead, there is gaiety 8342 and gladness 8057, Killing 2026 of cattle 1241 and slaughtering 7819 of sheep 6629, Eating 398 of meat 1320 and drinking 8354 of wine 3196: "Let us eat 398 and drink 8354, for tomorrow 4279 we may die 4191."
14 But the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 revealed 1540 Himself to me, "Surely 518 this 2088 iniquity 5771 shall not be forgiven 3722 you Until 5704 you die 4191," says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635.
15 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635, "Come 1980, go 935 to this 2088 steward 5532, To Shebna 7644, who 834 is in charge 5921 of the {royal} household 1004,
16 'What 4100 right do you have here 6311, And whom 4310 do you have here 6311, That you have hewn 2672 a tomb 6913 for yourself here 6311, You who hew 2672 a tomb 6913 on the height 4791, You who carve 2710 a resting 4908 place 4908 for yourself in the rock 5553?
17 'Behold 2009, the LORD 3068 is about to hurl 2904 you headlong 2925, O man 1397. And He is about to grasp 5844 you firmly 5844
18 {And} roll 6801 you tightly 6801 like a ball 1754, {To be} {cast} into a vast 7342 country 776; There 8033 you will die 4191 And there 8033 your splendid 3519 chariots 4818 will be, You shame 7036 of your master's 113 house 1004.'
19 "I will depose 1920 you from your office 4673, And I will pull 2040 you down 2040 from your station 4612.
20 "Then it will come 1961 about in that day 3117, That I will summon 7121 My servant 5650 Eliakim 471 the son 1121 of Hilkiah 2518,
21 And I will clothe 3847 him with your tunic 3801 And tie 2388 your sash 73 securely 2388 about him. I will entrust him with your authority 4475, And he will become 1961 a father 1 to the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 and to the house 1004 of Judah 3063.
22 "Then I will set 5414 the key 4668 of the house 1004 of David 1732 on his shoulder 7926, When he opens 6605 no 369 one 369 will shut 5462, When he shuts 5462 no 369 one 369 will open 6605.
23 "I will drive 8628 him {like} a peg 3489 in a firm 539 place 4725, And he will become 1961 a throne 3678 of glory 3519 to his father's 1 house 1004.
24 "So they will hang 8518 on him all 3605 the glory 3519 of his father's 1 house 1004, offspring 6631 and issue 6849, all 3605 the least 6996 of vessels 3627, from bowls to all 3605 the jars.
25 "In that day 3117," declares 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, "the peg 3489 driven 8628 in a firm 539 place 4725 will give 4185 way 4185; it will even break 1438 off 1438 and fall 5307, and the load 4853 hanging on it will be cut 3772 off 3772, for the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696."

The Fall of Tyre

The oracle 4853 concerning Tyre 6865. Wail 3213, O ships 591 of Tarshish 8659, For {Tyre} is destroyed 7703, without 4480 house 1004 {or} harbor 935; It is reported 1540 to them from the land 776 of Cyprus 3794.
2 Be silent 1826, you inhabitants 3427 of the coastland 339, You merchants 5503 of Sidon 6721; Your messengers 4390 crossed 5674 the sea 3220
3 And {were} on many 7227 waters 4325. The grain 2233 of the Nile 7883, the harvest 7105 of the River 2975 was her revenue 8393; And she was the market 5504 of nations 1471.
4 Be ashamed 954, O Sidon 6721; For the sea 3220 speaks 559, the stronghold 4581 of the sea 3220, saying 559, "I have neither 3808 travailed 2342 nor 3808 given 3205 birth 3205, I have neither 3808 brought 1431 up young 970 men 970 {nor} reared 7311 virgins 1330."
5 When 3512 the report 8088 {reaches} Egypt 4714, They will be in anguish 2342 at the report 8088 of Tyre 6865.
6 Pass 5674 over 5674 to Tarshish 8659; Wail 3213, O inhabitants 3427 of the coastland 339.
7 Is this 384 your jubilant 5947 {city,} Whose origin 6927 is from antiquity 6927, Whose feet 7272 used to carry 2986 her to colonize 1481 distant 7350 places?
8 ¶ Who 4310 has planned 3289 this 384 against 5921 Tyre 6865, the bestower 5849 of crowns 5849, Whose 834 merchants 5503 were princes 8269, whose 834 traders 3667 were the honored 3513 of the earth 776?
9 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 has planned 3289 it, to defile 2490 the pride 1347 of all 3605 beauty 6643, To despise 7043 all 3605 the honored 3513 of the earth 776.
10 Overflow 5674 your land 776 like the Nile 2975, O daughter 1323 of Tarshish 8659, There 369 is no 369 more 5750 restraint 4206.
11 He has stretched 5186 His hand 3027 out over 5921 the sea 3220, He has made the kingdoms 4467 tremble 7264; The LORD 3068 has given 6680 a command 6680 concerning 413 Canaan 3667 to demolish 8045 its strongholds 4581.
12 ¶ He has said 559, "You shall exult 5937 no 3808 more, O crushed 6231 virgin 1330 daughter 1323 of Sidon 6721. Arise 6965, pass 5674 over 5674 to Cyprus 3794; even 1571 there 8033 you will find 5117 no 3808 rest 5117."
13 ¶ Behold 2005, the land 776 of the Chaldeans 3778--this 2088 is the people 5971 {which} was not; Assyria 804 appointed 3245 it for desert 6716 creatures 6716--they erected 6965 their siege 969 towers 969, they stripped 6209 its palaces 759, they made 7760 it a ruin 4654.
14 Wail 3213, O ships 591 of Tarshish 8659, For your stronghold 4581 is destroyed 7703.
15 Now in that day 3117 Tyre 6865 will be forgotten 7911 for seventy 7657 years 8141 like the days 3117 of one 259 king 4428. At the end 7093 of seventy 7657 years 8141 it will happen 1961 to Tyre 6865 as {in} the song 7892 of the harlot 2181:
16 Take 3947 {your} harp 3658, walk 5437 about 5437 the city 5892, O forgotten 7911 harlot 2181; Pluck 5059 the strings 5059 skillfully 3190, sing many 7235 songs 7892, That you may be remembered 2142.
17 It will come 1961 about at the end 7093 of seventy 7657 years 8141 that the LORD 3068 will visit 6485 Tyre 6865. Then she will go 7725 back 7725 to her harlot's 868 wages 868 and will play 2181 the harlot 2181 with all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 on the face 6440 of the earth 127.
18 Her gain 5504 and her harlot's 868 wages 868 will be set 6944 apart 6944 to the LORD 3068; it will not be stored 686 up or hoarded 2630, but her gain 5504 will become 1961 sufficient 7654 food 398 and choice 6266 attire 4374 for those who dwell 3427 in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068.

Judgment on the Earth

Behold 2009, the LORD 3068 lays 1238 the earth 776 waste 1238, devastates 1110 it, distorts 5753 its surface 6440 and scatters 6327 its inhabitants 3427.
2 And the people 5971 will be like the priest 3548, the servant 5650 like his master 113, the maid 8198 like her mistress 1404, the buyer 7069 like the seller 4376, the lender 3867 like the borrower 3867, the creditor 5383 like the debtor 5377.
3 The earth 776 will be completely 1238 laid 1238 waste 1238 and completely 962 despoiled 962, for the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696 this 2088 word 1697.
4 The earth 776 mourns 56 {and} withers 5034, the world 8398 fades 535 {and} withers 5034, the exalted 4791 of the people 5971 of the earth 776 fade 535 away 535.
5 The earth 776 is also polluted 2610 by its inhabitants 3427, for they transgressed 5674 laws 8451, violated 2498 statutes 2706, broke 6565 the everlasting 5769 covenant 1285.
6 Therefore, a curse 423 devours 398 the earth 776, and those who live 3427 in it are held 816 guilty 816. Therefore, the inhabitants 3427 of the earth 776 are burned 2787, and few 4213 men 582 are left 7604.
7 ¶ The new 8492 wine 8492 mourns 56, The vine 1612 decays 535, All 3605 the merry-hearted sigh 584.
8 The gaiety 4885 of tambourines 8596 ceases 7673, The noise 7588 of revelers 5947 stops 2308, The gaiety 4885 of the harp 3658 ceases 7673.
9 They do not drink 8354 wine 3196 with song 7892; Strong 7941 drink 7941 is bitter 4843 to those who drink 8354 it.
10 The city 7151 of chaos 8414 is broken 7665 down 7665; Every 3605 house 1004 is shut 5462 up so 4480 that none 4480 may enter 935.
11 There is an outcry 6682 in the streets 2351 concerning 5921 the wine 3196; All 3605 joy 8057 turns 6150 to gloom 6150. The gaiety 4885 of the earth 776 is banished 1540.
12 Desolation 8047 is left 7604 in the city 5892 And the gate 8179 is battered 3807 to ruins 7591.
13 For thus 3541 it will be in the midst 7130 of the earth 776 among 8432 the peoples 5971, As the shaking 5363 of an olive 2132 tree 2132, As the gleanings 5955 when 518 the grape 1210 harvest 1210 is over 3615.
14 They raise 5375 their voices 6963, they shout 7442 for joy 7442; They cry 6670 out from the west 3220 concerning the majesty 1347 of the LORD 3068.
15 Therefore glorify 3513 the LORD 3068 in the east 747, The name 8034 of the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, In the coastlands 339 of the sea 3220.
16 From the ends 3671 of the earth 776 we hear 8085 songs 2158, "Glory 6643 to the Righteous 6662 One 6662," But I say 559, "Woe 7334 to me! Woe 7334 to me! Alas 188 for me! The treacherous 898 deal 898 treacherously 898, And the treacherous 898 deal 898 very 899 treacherously 898."
17 Terror 6343 and pit 6354 and snare 6341 Confront 5921 you, O inhabitant 3427 of the earth 776.
18 Then it will be that he who flees 5127 the report 6963 of disaster 6343 will fall 5307 into the pit 6354, And he who climbs 5927 out of the pit 6354 will be caught 3920 in the snare 6341; For the windows 699 above are opened 6605, and the foundations 4144 of the earth 776 shake 7493.
19 The earth 776 is broken 7489 asunder 7489, The earth 776 is split 6565 through 6565, The earth 776 is shaken 4131 violently 4131.
20 The earth 776 reels 5128 to and fro 5128 like a drunkard 7910 And it totters 5110 like a shack 4412, For its transgression 6588 is heavy 3513 upon it, And it will fall 5307, never 3808 to rise 6965 again 3254.
21 So it will happen 1961 in that day 3117, That the LORD 3068 will punish 6485 the host 6635 of heaven 4791 on high 4791, And the kings 4428 of the earth 127 on earth 127.
22 They will be gathered 622 together 626 {Like} prisoners 616 in the dungeon 953, And will be confined 5462 in prison 4525; And after 4480 many 7230 days 3117 they {will} {be} punished 6485.
23 Then the moon 3842 will be abashed 2659 and the sun 2535 ashamed 954, For the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will reign 4427 on Mount 2022 Zion 6726 and in Jerusalem 3389, And {His} glory 3519 will be before 5048 His elders 2205.

Song of Praise for God's Favor

O LORD 3068, You are my God 430; I will exalt 7311 You, I will give 3034 thanks 3034 to Your name 8034; For You have worked 6213 wonders 6382, Plans 6098 {formed} long 7350 ago 7350, with perfect 544 faithfulness 544.
2 For You have made 7760 a city 5892 into a heap 1530, A fortified 1219 city 7151 into a ruin 4654; A palace 759 of strangers 2114 is a city 5892 no 4480 more 4480, It will never be rebuilt 1129.
3 Therefore a strong 5794 people 5971 will glorify 3513 You; Cities 7151 of ruthless 6184 nations 1471 will revere 3372 You.
4 For You have been 1961 a defense 4581 for the helpless 1800, A defense 4581 for the needy 34 in his distress 6862, A refuge 4268 from the storm 2230, a shade 6738 from the heat 2721; For the breath 7307 of the ruthless 6184 Is like a {rain} storm 2230 {against} a wall 7023.
5 Like heat 2721 in drought 6724, You subdue 3665 the uproar 7588 of aliens 2114; {Like} heat 2721 by the shadow 6738 of a cloud 5645, the song 2158 of the ruthless 6184 is silenced 6031.
6 ¶ The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will prepare 6213 a lavish 8081 banquet 4960 for all 3605 peoples 5971 on this 2088 mountain 2022; A banquet 4960 of aged 8105 wine 8105, choice 8081 pieces with marrow 4229, {And} refined 2212, aged 8105 wine 8105.
7 And on this 2088 mountain 2022 He will swallow 1104 up the covering which is over 5921 all 3605 peoples 5971, Even the veil 4541 which is stretched 5259 over 5921 all 3605 nations 1471.
8 He will swallow 1104 up death 4194 for all 5331 time 5331, And the Lord 136 GOD 3068 will wipe 4229 tears 1832 away 4229 from all 3605 faces 6440, And He will remove 5493 the reproach 2781 of His people 5971 from all 3605 the earth 776; For the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696.
9 And it will be said 559 in that day 3117, "Behold 2009, this 2088 is our God 430 for whom we have waited 6960 that He might save 3467 us. This 2088 is the LORD 3068 for whom we have waited 6960; Let us rejoice 1523 and be glad 8055 in His salvation 3444."
10 For the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 will rest 5117 on this 2088 mountain 2022, And Moab 4124 will be trodden 1758 down 1758 in his place 8478 As straw 4963 is trodden 1758 down 1758 in the water 4325 of a manure 4087 pile 4087.
11 And he will spread 6566 out his hands 3027 in the middle 7130 of it As a swimmer 7811 spreads 6566 out {his hands} to swim 7811, But {the Lord} will lay 8213 low 8213 his pride 1346 together 5973 with the trickery 698 of his hands 3027.
12 The unassailable 4869 fortifications 4013 of your walls 2346 He will bring 7817 down 7817, Lay 8213 low 8213 {and} cast 5060 to the ground 776, even 5704 to the dust 6083.

Song of Trust in God's Protection

In that day 3117 this 2088 song 7892 will be sung 7891 in the land 776 of Judah 3063: "We have a strong 5797 city 5892; He sets 7896 up walls 2346 and ramparts 2426 for security 3444.
2 "Open 6605 the gates 8179, that the righteous 6662 nation 1471 may enter 935, The one that remains 8104 faithful 529.
3 "The steadfast 5564 of mind 3336 You will keep 5341 in perfect 7965 peace 7965, Because 3588 he trusts 982 in You.
4 "Trust 982 in the LORD 3068 forever 5703, For in GOD 3050 the LORD 3068, {we have} an everlasting 5769 Rock 6697.
5 "For He has brought 7817 low 7817 those who dwell 3427 on high 4791, the unassailable 7682 city 7151; He lays 8213 it low 8213, He lays 8213 it low 8213 to the ground 776, He casts 5060 it to the dust 6083.
6 "The foot 7272 will trample 7429 it, The feet 7272 of the afflicted 6041, the steps 6471 of the helpless 1800."
7 ¶ The way 734 of the righteous 6662 is smooth 4339; O Upright 3477 One 3477, make 6424 the path 4570 of the righteous 6662 level 6424.
8 Indeed 637, {while following} the way 734 of Your judgments 4941, O LORD 3068, We have waited 6960 for You eagerly 6960; Your name 8034, even Your memory 2143, is the desire 8378 of {our} souls 5315.
9 At night 3915 my soul 5315 longs 183 for You, Indeed 637, my spirit 7307 within 7130 me seeks 7836 You diligently 7836; For when 3512 the earth 776 experiences Your judgments 4941 The inhabitants 3427 of the world 8398 learn 3925 righteousness 6664.
10 {Though} the wicked 7563 is shown 2603 favor 2603, He does not learn 3925 righteousness 6664; He deals 5765 unjustly 5765 in the land 776 of uprightness 5228, And does not perceive 7200 the majesty 1348 of the LORD 3068.
11 ¶ O LORD 3068, Your hand 3027 is lifted 7311 up {yet} they do not see 2372 it. They see 2372 {Your} zeal 7068 for the people 5971 and are put 954 to shame 954; Indeed 637, fire 784 will devour 398 Your enemies 6862.
12 LORD 3068, You will establish 8239 peace 7965 for us, Since 3588 You have also 1571 performed 6466 for us all 3605 our works 4639.
13 O LORD 3068 our God 430, other masters 113 besides 2108 You have ruled 1166 us; {But} through You alone 905 we confess 2142 Your name 8034.
14 The dead 4191 will not live 2421, the departed 7496 spirits 7496 will not rise 6965; Therefore 3651 You have punished 6485 and destroyed 8045 them, And You have wiped 6 out all 3605 remembrance 2143 of them.
15 You have increased 3254 the nation 1471, O LORD 3068, You have increased 3254 the nation 1471, You are glorified 3513; You have extended 7368 all 3605 the borders 7099 of the land 776.
16 O LORD 3068, they sought 6485 You in distress 6862; They could only whisper 3908 a prayer 3908, Your chastening 4148 was upon them.
17 As the pregnant 2030 woman 2030 approaches 7126 {the time} to give 3205 birth 3205, She writhes 2342 {and} cries 2199 out in her labor 2256 pains 2256, Thus 3651 were we before You, O LORD 3068.
18 We were pregnant 2029, we writhed 2342 {in labor,} We gave 3205 birth 3205, as it seems, {only} to wind 7307. We could not accomplish 6213 deliverance 3444 for the earth 776, Nor 1077 were inhabitants 3427 of the world 8398 born 5307.
19 Your dead 4191 will live 2421; Their corpses 5038 will rise 6965. You who lie 7931 in the dust 6083, awake 7019 and shout 7442 for joy 7442, For your dew 2919 {is as} the dew 2919 of the dawn 219, And the earth 776 will give 5307 birth 5307 to the departed 7496 spirits 7496.
20 ¶ Come 1980, my people 5971, enter 935 into your rooms 2315 And close 5462 your doors 1802 behind 1157 you; Hide 2247 for a little 4592 while 7281 Until 5704 indignation 2195 runs 5674 {its} course 5674.
21 For behold 2009, the LORD 3068 is about to come 3318 out from His place 4725 To punish 6485 the inhabitants 3427 of the earth 776 for their iniquity 5771; And the earth 776 will reveal 1540 her bloodshed 1818 And will no 3808 longer 5750 cover 3680 her slain 2026.

The Deliverance of Israel

In that day 3117 the LORD 3068 will punish 6485 Leviathan 3882 the fleeing 1281 serpent 5175, With His fierce 7186 and great 1419 and mighty 2389 sword 2719, Even 5921 Leviathan 3882 the twisted 6129 serpent 5175; And He will kill 2026 the dragon 8577 who 834 {lives} in the sea 3220.
2 ¶ In that day 3117, "A vineyard 3754 of wine 2561, sing 6031 of it!
3 "I, the LORD 3068, am its keeper 5341; I water 8248 it every moment 7281. So that no one will damage 6485 it, I guard 5341 it night 3915 and day 3117.
4 "I have 369 no 369 wrath 2534. Should someone 4310 give 5414 Me briars 8068 {and} thorns 7898 in battle 4421, {Then} I would step 6585 on them, I would burn 3341 them completely 3162.
5 "Or 176 let him rely 2388 on My protection 4581, Let him make 6213 peace 7965 with Me, Let him make 6213 peace 7965 with Me."
6 In the days to come 935 Jacob 3290 will take 8327 root 8327, Israel 3478 will blossom 6692 and sprout 6524, And they will fill 4390 the whole 6440 world 8398 with fruit 8570.
7 ¶ Like the striking 5221 of Him who has struck 5221 them, has He struck 5221 them? Or 518 like the slaughter 4347 of His slain 2026, have they been slain 2026?
8 You contended 7378 with them by banishing 5432 them, by driving 7971 them away 7971. With His fierce 7186 wind 7307 He has expelled 1898 {them} on the day 3117 of the east 6921 wind 6921.
9 Therefore 3651 through this 384 Jacob's 3290 iniquity 5771 will be forgiven 3722; And this 2088 will be the full 3605 price 6529 of the pardoning 5493 of his sin 2403: When he makes 7760 all 3605 the altar 4196 stones 68 like pulverized 5310 chalk 1615 stones 68; {When} Asherim 842 and incense 2553 altars 2553 will not stand 6965.
10 For the fortified 1219 city 5892 is isolated 910, A homestead 5116 forlorn 7971 and forsaken 5800 like the desert 4057; There 8033 the calf 5695 will graze 7462, And there 8033 it will lie 7257 down 7257 and feed 3615 on its branches 5585.
11 When its limbs 7105 are dry 3001, they are broken 7665 off; Women 802 come 935 {and} make 215 a fire 215 with them, For they are not a people 5971 of discernment 998, Therefore their Maker 6213 will not have 7355 compassion 7355 on them. And their Creator 3335 will not be gracious 2603 to them.
12 ¶ In that day 3117 the LORD 3068 will start {His} threshing 2251 from the flowing 7642 stream 7642 of the Euphrates 5104 to the brook 5158 of Egypt 4714, and you will be gathered 3950 up one 259 by one 259, O sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
13 It will come 1961 about also in that day 3117 that a great 1419 trumpet 7782 will be blown 8628, and those who were perishing 6 in the land 776 of Assyria 804 and who were scattered 5080 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 will come 1961 and worship 7812 the LORD 3068 in the holy 6944 mountain 2022 at Jerusalem 3389.

Ephraim's Captivity Predicted

Woe 1945 to the proud 1348 crown 5850 of the drunkards 7910 of Ephraim 669, And to the fading 5034 flower 6731 of its glorious 6643 beauty 6643, Which 834 is at the head 7218 of the fertile 8081 valley 1516 Of those who are overcome 1986 with wine 3196!
2 Behold 2009, the Lord 136 has a strong 2389 and mighty 533 {agent;} As a storm 2230 of hail 1259, a tempest 8178 of destruction 6986, Like a storm 2230 of mighty 3524 overflowing 7857 waters 4325, He has cast 5117 {it} down 5117 to the earth 776 with {His} hand 3027.
3 The proud 1348 crown 5850 of the drunkards 7910 of Ephraim 669 is trodden 7429 under foot 7272.
4 And the fading 5034 flower 6731 of its glorious 6643 beauty 6643, Which 834 is at the head 7218 of the fertile 8081 valley 1516, Will be like the first-ripe 1063 fig 1063 prior 2962 to summer 7019, Which 834 one sees 7200, {And} as soon 5750 as it is in his hand 3709, He swallows 1104 it.
5 In that day 3117 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will become 1961 a beautiful 6643 crown 5850 And a glorious 8597 diadem 6843 to the remnant 7605 of His people 5971;
6 A spirit 7307 of justice 4941 for him who sits 3427 in judgment 4941, A strength 1369 to those who repel 7725 the onslaught 4421 at the gate 8179.
7 And these 428 also 1571 reel 7686 with wine 3196 and stagger 8582 from strong 7941 drink 7941: The priest 3548 and the prophet 5030 reel 7686 with strong 7941 drink 7941, They are confused 1104 by wine 3196, they stagger 8582 from strong 7941 drink 7941; They reel 7686 while having visions 7203, They totter 6328 {when rendering} judgment 6417.
8 For all 3605 the tables 7979 are full 4390 of filthy 6675 vomit 7006, without 1097 a {single clean} place 4725.
9 ¶ "To whom 4310 would He teach 3384 knowledge 1844, And to whom 4310 would He interpret 995 the message 8052? Those {just} weaned 1580 from milk 2461? Those {just} taken 6267 from the breast 7699?
10 "For {He says,} 'Order 6673 on order 6673, order 6673 on order 6673, Line 6957 on line 6957, line 6957 on line 6957, A little 2191 here 8033, a little 2191 there 8033.'"
11 Indeed 3588, He will speak 1696 to this 2088 people 5971 Through stammering 3934 lips 8193 and a foreign 312 tongue 3956,
12 He who 834 said 559 to them, "Here 2088 is rest 4496, give 5117 rest 5117 to the weary 5889," And, "Here 2088 is repose 4774," but they would 14 not listen 8085.
13 So the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 to them will be, "Order 6673 on order 6673, order 6673 on order 6673, Line 6957 on line 6957, line 6957 on line 6957, A little 2191 here 8033, a little 2191 there 8033," That they may go 1980 and stumble 3782 backward 268, be broken 7665, snared 3369 and taken 3920 captive 3920.

Judah Is Warned

Therefore 3651, hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, O scoffers, Who rule 4910 this 2088 people 5971 who 834 are in Jerusalem 3389,
15 Because 3588 you have said 559, "We have made 3772 a covenant 1285 with death 4194, And with Sheol 7585 we have made 6213 a pact 2374. The overwhelming 7857 scourge 7752 will not reach 935 us when 3588 it passes 5674 by, For we have made 7760 falsehood 3577 our refuge 4268 and we have concealed 5641 ourselves with deception 8267."
16 Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I am laying 3245 in Zion 6726 a stone 68, a tested 976 stone 68, A costly 3368 cornerstone 6438 {for} the foundation 4143, firmly 3245 placed 3245. He who believes 539 {in it} will not be disturbed 2363.
17 "I will make 7760 justice 4941 the measuring 6957 line 6957 And righteousness 6666 the level 4949; Then hail 1259 will sweep 3261 away 3261 the refuge 4268 of lies 3577 And the waters 4325 will overflow 7857 the secret 5643 place 5643.
18 "Your covenant 1285 with death 4194 will be canceled 3722, And your pact 2380 with Sheol 7585 will not stand 6965; When 3588 the overwhelming 7857 scourge 7752 passes 5674 through 5674, Then you become 1961 its trampling 4823 {place.}
19 "As often 1767 as it passes 5674 through 5674, it will seize 3947 you; For morning 1242 after morning 1242 it will pass 5674 through 5674, {anytime} during the day 3117 or night 3915, And it will be sheer 7534 terror 2113 to understand 995 what 8052 it means 8052."
20 The bed 4702 is too 4480 short 7114 on which to stretch 8311 out, And the blanket 4541 is too small 6887 to wrap 3664 oneself in.
21 For the LORD 3068 will rise 6965 up as {at} Mount 2022 Perazim 6559, He will be stirred 7264 up as in the valley 6010 of Gibeon 1391, To do 6213 His task 4639, His unusual 2114 task 4639, And to work 5647 His work 5656, His extraordinary 5237 work 5656.
22 And now 6258 do not carry 3917 on as scoffers 3917, Or 6435 your fetters 4147 will be made 2388 stronger 2388; For I have heard 8085 from the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635 Of decisive 2782 destruction 3617 on all 3605 the earth 776.
23 ¶ Give 238 ear 238 and hear 8085 my voice 6963, Listen 7181 and hear 8085 my words 565.
24 Does the farmer 2790 plow 2790 continually to plant 2232 seed 2232? Does he {continually} turn 6605 and harrow 7702 the ground 127?
25 Does he not level 7737 its surface 6440 And sow 6327 dill 7100 and scatter 2236 cummin 3646 And plant 7760 wheat 2406 in rows 7795, Barley 8184 in its place 5567 and rye 3698 within its area 1367?
26 For his God 430 instructs 3256 and teaches 3384 him properly 4941.
27 For dill 7100 is not threshed 1758 with a threshing 2742 sledge 2742, Nor 3808 is the cartwheel 5699 driven 5437 over 5921 cummin 3646; But dill 7100 is beaten 2251 out with a rod 4294, and cummin 3646 with a club 7626.
28 {Grain for} bread 3899 is crushed 1854, Indeed 3588, he does not continue 1758 to thresh 1758 it forever 5331. Because the wheel 1536 of {his} cart 5699 and his horses 6571 {eventually} damage 2000 {it,} He does not thresh 1854 it longer.
29 This 384 also 1571 comes 3318 from the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, {Who} has made 6381 {His} counsel 6098 wonderful 6381 and {His} wisdom 8454 great 1431.

Jerusalem Is Warned

Woe 1945, O Ariel 740, Ariel 740 the city 7151 {where} David 1732 {once} camped 2583! Add 3254 year 8141 to year 8141, observe 5362 {your} feasts 2282 on schedule 5362.
2 I will bring 6693 distress 6693 to Ariel 740, And she will be {a city of} lamenting 8386 and mourning 592; And she will be like an Ariel 740 to me.
3 I will camp 2583 against 5921 you encircling 1754 {you,} And I will set 6696 siegeworks 4674 against 5921 you, And I will raise 6965 up battle 4694 towers 4694 against 5921 you.
4 Then you will be brought 8213 low 8213; From the earth 776 you will speak 1696, And from the dust 6083 {where} you are prostrate 7817 Your words 565 {will come.} Your voice 6963 will also be like that of a spirit 178 from the ground 776, And your speech 565 will whisper 6850 from the dust 6083.
5 ¶ But the multitude 1995 of your enemies 2114 will become 1961 like fine 1851 dust 80, And the multitude 1995 of the ruthless 6184 ones 6184 like the chaff 4671 which blows 5674 away 5674; And it will happen 1961 instantly 6621, suddenly 6597.
6 From the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 you will be punished 6485 with thunder 7482 and earthquake 7494 and loud 1419 noise 6963, {With} whirlwind 5492 and tempest 5591 and the flame 3851 of a consuming 398 fire 784.
7 And the multitude 1995 of all 3605 the nations 1471 who wage 6633 war 6633 against 5921 Ariel 740, Even all 3605 who wage 6633 war 6633 against her and her stronghold 4685, and who distress 6693 her, Will be like a dream 2472, a vision 2377 of the night 3915.
8 It will be as when 3512 a hungry 7457 man 7457 dreams 2492-- And behold 2009, he is eating 398; But when he awakens 7019, his hunger 5315 is not satisfied 7386, Or as when 3512 a thirsty 6771 man 6771 dreams 2492-- And behold 2009, he is drinking 8354, But when he awakens 7019, behold 2009, he is faint 5889 And his thirst 5315 is not quenched 8264. Thus 3651 the multitude 1995 of all 3605 the nations 1471 will be Who wage 6633 war 6633 against 5921 Mount 2022 Zion 6726.
9 ¶ Be delayed 4102 and wait 8539, Blind 8173 yourselves and be blind 8173; They become 7937 drunk 7937, but not with wine 3196, They stagger 5128, but not with strong 7941 drink 7941.
10 For the LORD 3068 has poured 5258 over 5921 you a spirit 7307 of deep 8639 sleep 8639, He has shut 6105 your eyes 5869, the prophets 5030; And He has covered 3680 your heads 7218, the seers 2374.
11 The entire 3605 vision 2380 will be to you like the words 1697 of a sealed 2856 book 5612, which 834 when they give 5414 it to the one who is literate, saying 559, "Please 4994 read 7121 this 2088," he will say 559, "I cannot, for it is sealed 2856."
12 Then the book 5612 will be given 5414 to the one who 834 is illiterate, saying 559, "Please 4994 read 7121 this 2088." And he will say 559, "I cannot 3808 read."
13 ¶ Then the Lord 136 said 559, "Because this 2088 people 5971 draw 5066 near 5066 with their words 6310 And honor 3513 Me with their lip 8193 service 8193, But they remove 7368 their hearts 3820 far 7368 from Me, And their reverence 3372 for Me consists 1961 of tradition learned 3925 {by rote,}
14 Therefore 3651 behold 2009, I will once again 3254 deal 6381 marvelously 6381 with this 2088 people 5971, wondrously 6381 marvelous 6381; And the wisdom 2451 of their wise 2450 men 2450 will perish 6, And the discernment 998 of their discerning 995 men will be concealed 5641."
15 ¶ Woe 1945 to those who deeply 6009 hide 5641 their plans 6098 from the LORD 3068, And whose deeds 4639 are {done} in a dark 4285 place 4285, And they say 559, "Who 4310 sees 7200 us?" or "Who 4310 knows 3045 us?"
16 You turn 2016 {things} around 2016! Shall the potter 3335 be considered 2803 as equal with the clay 2563, That what 4639 is made 4639 would say 559 to its maker 6213, "He did not make 6213 me"; Or what 3336 is formed 3335 say 559 to him who formed 3335 it, "He has no 3808 understanding 995"?
17

Blessing after Discipline

¶ Is it not yet 5750 just a little 4592 while 4592 Before Lebanon 3844 will be turned 7725 into a fertile 3759 field 3759, And the fertile 3759 field 3759 will be considered 2803 as a forest 3293?
18 On that day 3117 the deaf 2795 will hear 8085 words 1697 of a book 5612, And out of {their} gloom 652 and darkness 2822 the eyes 5869 of the blind 5787 will see 7200.
19 The afflicted 6035 also will increase 3254 their gladness 8057 in the LORD 3068, And the needy 34 of mankind 120 will rejoice 1523 in the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
20 For the ruthless 6184 will come 656 to an end 656 and the scorner 3917 will be finished 3615, Indeed all 3605 who are intent 8245 on doing 8245 evil 205 will be cut 3772 off 3772;
21 Who cause a person 120 to be indicted 2398 by a word 1697, And ensnare 6983 him who adjudicates 3198 at the gate 8179, And defraud 5186 the one 6662 in the right 6662 with meaningless 8414 arguments 8414.
22 ¶ Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, who 834 redeemed 6299 Abraham 85, concerning 413 the house 1004 of Jacob 3290: "Jacob 3290 shall not now 6258 be ashamed 954, nor 3808 shall his face 6440 now 6258 turn 2357 pale 2357;
23 But when 3588 he sees 7200 his children 3206, the work 4639 of My hands 3027, in his midst 7130, They will sanctify 6942 My name 8034; Indeed, they will sanctify 6942 the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Jacob 3290 And will stand 6206 in awe 6206 of the God 430 of Israel 3478.
24 "Those who err 8582 in mind 7307 will know 3045 the truth 998, And those who criticize 7279 will accept 3925 instruction 3948.

Judah Warned against Egyptian Alliance

"Woe 1945 to the rebellious 5637 children 1121," declares 5002 the LORD 3068, "Who execute 6213 a plan 6098, but not Mine 4480, And make 5259 an alliance 4541, but not of My Spirit 7307, In order 4616 to add 5595 sin 2403 to sin 2403;
2 Who proceed 1980 down 3381 to Egypt 4714 Without 3808 consulting 7592 Me, To take 5756 refuge 5756 in the safety 4581 of Pharaoh 6547 And to seek 2620 shelter 2620 in the shadow 6738 of Egypt 4714!
3 "Therefore the safety 4581 of Pharaoh 6547 will be your shame 1322 And the shelter 2622 in the shadow 6738 of Egypt 4714, your humiliation 3639.
4 "For their princes 8269 are at Zoan 6814 And their ambassadors 4397 arrive 5060 at Hanes 2609.
5 "Everyone 3605 will be ashamed 954 because 5921 of a people 5971 who cannot 3808 profit 3276 them, {Who are} not for help 5828 or profit 3276, but for shame 1322 and also 1571 for reproach 2781."
6 ¶ The oracle 4853 concerning the beasts 929 of the Negev 5045. Through a land 776 of distress 6869 and anguish 6695, From where 1992 {come} lioness 3833 and lion 3918, viper 660 and flying 5774 serpent 8314, They carry 5375 their riches 2428 on the backs 3802 of young 5895 donkeys 5895 And their treasures 214 on camels' 1581 humps 1707, To a people 5971 who cannot 3808 profit 3276 {them;}
7 Even Egypt 4714, whose help 5826 is vain 1892 and empty 7385. Therefore 3651, I have called 7121 her "Rahab 7294 who 1992 has been exterminated 7674."
8 Now 6258 go 935, write 3789 it on a tablet 3871 before 854 them And inscribe 2710 it on a scroll 5612, That it may serve 1961 in the time 3117 to come 314 As a witness forever.
9 For this 1931 is a rebellious 4805 people 5971, false 3586 sons 1121, Sons 1121 who refuse to listen 8085 To the instruction 8451 of the LORD 3068;
10 Who 834 say 559 to the seers 7203, "You must not see 7200 {visions}"; And to the prophets 2374, "You must not prophesy 2372 to us what 5228 is right 5228, Speak 1696 to us pleasant 2513 words 2513, Prophesy 2372 illusions 4123.
11 "Get 5493 out of the way 1870, turn 5186 aside 5186 from the path 734, Let us hear 7673 no more 7673 about the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478."
12 Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, "Since 3282 you have rejected 3988 this 2088 word 1697 And have put 982 your trust 982 in oppression 6233 and guile 3868, and have relied 8172 on them,
13 Therefore 3651 this 2088 iniquity 5771 will be to you Like a breach 6556 about to fall 5307, A bulge 1158 in a high 7682 wall 2346, Whose 834 collapse 7667 comes 935 suddenly 6597 in an instant 6621,
14 Whose collapse 7665 is like the smashing 7667 of a potter's 3335 jar 5035, So ruthlessly shattered 3807 That a sherd 2789 will not be found 4672 among its pieces 4386 To take 2846 fire 784 from a hearth 3344 Or to scoop 2834 water 4325 from a cistern 1360."
15 For thus 3541 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, has said 559, "In repentance 7729 and rest 5183 you will be saved 3467, In quietness 8252 and trust 985 is your strength 1369." But you were not willing 14,
16 And you said 559, "No 3808, for we will flee 5127 on horses 5483," Therefore you shall flee 5127! "And we will ride 7392 on swift 7031 {horses,}" Therefore those who pursue 7291 you shall be swift 7043.
17 One 259 thousand 505 {will flee} at the threat 1606 of one 259 {man;} You will flee 5127 at the threat 1606 of five 2568, Until you are left 3498 as a flag 8650 on a mountain 2022 top 7218 And as a signal 5251 on a hill 1389.

God Is Gracious and Just

¶ Therefore 3651 the LORD 3068 longs 2442 to be gracious 2603 to you, And therefore 3651 He waits 2442 on high 7311 to have 7355 compassion 7355 on you. For the LORD 3068 is a God 430 of justice 4941; How blessed 835 are all 3605 those who long 2442 for Him.
19 ¶ O people 5971 in Zion 6726, inhabitant 3427 in Jerusalem 3389, you will weep 1058 no 3808 longer 1058. He will surely 2603 be gracious 2603 to you at the sound 6963 of your cry 2199; when He hears 8085 it, He will answer 6030 you.
20 Although the Lord 136 has given 5414 you bread 3899 of privation 6862 and water 4325 of oppression 3906, {He,} your Teacher 4175 will no 3808 longer 5750 hide 3670 Himself, but your eyes 5869 will behold 7200 your Teacher 4175.
21 Your ears 241 will hear 8085 a word 1697 behind you, "This 2088 is the way 1870, walk 1980 in it," whenever 3588 you turn 3231 to the right 3231 or to the left 8041.
22 And you will defile 2930 your graven 6456 images 6456 overlaid 6826 with silver 3701, and your molten 4541 images 4541 plated 642 with gold 2091. You will scatter 2219 them as an impure 1739 thing 1739, {and} say 559 to them, "Be gone 3318!"
23 ¶ Then He will give 5414 {you} rain 4306 for the seed 2233 which 834 you will sow 2232 in the ground 127, and bread 3899 {from} the yield 8393 of the ground 127, and it will be rich 1879 and plenteous 8082; on that day 3117 your livestock 4735 will graze 7462 in a roomy 7337 pasture 3733.
24 Also the oxen 504 and the donkeys 5895 which work 5647 the ground 127 will eat 398 salted 2548 fodder 1098, which 834 has been winnowed 2219 with shovel 7371 and fork 4214.
25 On every 3605 lofty 1364 mountain 2022 and on every 3605 high 5375 hill 1389 there will be streams 6388 running 2988 with water 4325 on the day 3117 of the great 7227 slaughter 2027, when the towers 4026 fall 5307.
26 The light 216 of the moon 3842 will be as the light 216 of the sun 2535, and the light 216 of the sun 2535 will be seven 7659 times 7659 {brighter,} like the light 216 of seven 7651 days 3117, on the day 3117 the LORD 3068 binds 2280 up the fracture 7667 of His people 5971 and heals 7495 the bruise 4273 He has inflicted 4347.
27 ¶ Behold 2009, the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 comes 935 from a remote 4801 place 4801; Burning 1197 is His anger 639 and dense 3514 is {His} smoke 4858; His lips 8193 are filled 4390 with indignation 2195 And His tongue 3956 is like a consuming 398 fire 784;
28 His breath 7307 is like an overflowing 7857 torrent 5158, Which reaches 2673 to the neck 6677, To shake 5130 the nations 1471 back 5130 and forth 1234 in a sieve 5299, And to {put} in the jaws 3895 of the peoples 5971 the bridle 7448 which leads 8582 to ruin 8582.
29 You will have 1961 songs 7892 as in the night 3915 when you keep 6942 the festival 2282, And gladness 8057 of heart 3824 as when one marches 1980 to {the sound of} the flute 2485, To go 935 to the mountain 2022 of the LORD 3068, to the Rock 6697 of Israel 3478.
30 And the LORD 3068 will cause His voice 6963 of authority 1935 to be heard 8085, And the descending 5183 of His arm 2220 to be seen 7200 in fierce 2197 anger 639, And {in} the flame 3851 of a consuming 398 fire 784 In cloudburst 5311, downpour 2230 and hailstones.
31 For at the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 Assyria 804 will be terrified 2865, {When} He strikes 5221 with the rod 7626.
32 And every 3605 blow 4569 of the rod 4294 of punishment 4145, Which 834 the LORD 3068 will lay 5117 on him, Will be with {the music of} tambourines 8596 and lyres 3658; And in battles 4421, brandishing 8573 weapons 8573, He will fight 3898 them.
33 For Topheth 8613 has long 865 been ready 6186, Indeed 1571, it has been prepared 3559 for the king 4428. He has made 6009 it deep 6009 and large 7337, A pyre 4071 of fire 784 with plenty 7235 of wood 6086; The breath 5397 of the LORD 3068, like a torrent 5158 of brimstone 1614, sets 1197 it afire 1197.

Help Not in Egypt but in God

Woe 1945 to those who go 3381 down 3381 to Egypt 4714 for help 5833 {And} rely 8172 on horses 5483, And trust 982 in chariots 7393 because 3588 they are many 7227 And in horsemen 6571 because 3588 they are very 3966 strong 6105, But they do not look 8159 to the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, nor 3808 seek 1875 the LORD 3068!
2 Yet He also 1571 is wise 2450 and will bring 935 disaster 7451 And does not retract 5493 His words 1697, But will arise 6965 against 5921 the house 1004 of evildoers 7489 And against 5921 the help 5833 of the workers 6466 of iniquity 205.
3 Now the Egyptians 4714 are men 120 and not God 410, And their horses 5483 are flesh 1320 and not spirit 7307; So the LORD 3068 will stretch 5186 out His hand 3027, And he who helps 5826 will stumble 3782 And he who is helped 5826 will fall 5307, And all 3605 of them will come 3615 to an end 3615 together 3164.
4 ¶ For thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 to me, "As the lion 743 or the young 3715 lion 3715 growls 1897 over 5921 his prey 2964, Against 5921 which 834 a band 4393 of shepherds 7462 is called 7121 out, {And} he will not be terrified 2865 at their voice 6963 nor 3808 disturbed 6031 at their noise 1995, So 3651 will the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 come 3381 down 3381 to wage 6633 war 6633 on Mount 2022 Zion 6726 and on its hill 1389."
5 Like flying 5774 birds 6833 so 3651 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will protect 1598 Jerusalem 3389. He will protect 1598 and deliver 5337 {it;} He will pass 6452 over 6452 and rescue 4422 {it.}
6 ¶ Return 7725 to Him from whom 834 you have deeply 6009 defected 5627, O sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
7 For in that day 3117 every 376 man 376 will cast 3988 away 3988 his silver 3701 idols 457 and his gold 2091 idols 457, which 834 your sinful hands 3027 have made 6213 for you as a sin 2399.
8 And the Assyrian 804 will fall 5307 by a sword 2719 not of man 376, And a sword 2719 not of man 120 will devour 398 him. So he will not escape 5127 the sword 2719, And his young 970 men 970 will become 1961 forced 4522 laborers 4522.
9 "His rock 5553 will pass 5674 away 5674 because 4480 of panic 4032, And his princes 8269 will be terrified 2865 at the standard 5251," Declares 5002 the LORD 3068, whose 834 fire 217 is in Zion 6726 and whose furnace 8574 is in Jerusalem 3389.

The Glorious Future

Behold 2005, a king 4428 will reign 4427 righteously 6664 And princes 8269 will rule 8323 justly 4941.
2 Each 376 will be like a refuge 4224 from the wind 7307 And a shelter 5643 from the storm 2230, Like streams 6388 of water 4325 in a dry 6724 country 6724, Like the shade 6738 of a huge 3515 rock 5553 in a parched 5889 land 776.
3 Then the eyes 5869 of those who see 7200 will not be blinded 8173, And the ears 241 of those who hear 8085 will listen 7181.
4 The mind 3824 of the hasty 4116 will discern 995 the truth 1847, And the tongue 3956 of the stammerers 5926 will hasten 4116 to speak 1696 clearly 6703.
5 No 3808 longer 5750 will the fool 5036 be called 7121 noble 5081, Or the rogue 3596 be spoken 559 of {as} generous 7771.
6 For a fool 5036 speaks 1696 nonsense 5039, And his heart 3820 inclines 6213 toward wickedness 205: To practice 6213 ungodliness 2612 and to speak 1696 error 8442 against 413 the LORD 3068, To keep 7385 the hungry 7457 person 5315 unsatisfied 7385 And to withhold 2637 drink 4945 from the thirsty 6771.
7 As for a rogue 3596, his weapons 3627 are evil 7451; He devises 3289 wicked 2154 schemes 2154 To destroy 2254 {the} afflicted 6041 with slander, Even though {the} needy 34 one 34 speaks 1696 what 4941 is right 4941.
8 But the noble 5081 man 5081 devises 3289 noble 5082 plans 5082; And by noble 5082 plans 5082 he stands 6965.
9 ¶ Rise 6965 up, you women 802 who 7600 are at ease 7600, {And} hear 8085 my voice 6963; Give 238 ear 238 to my word 565, You complacent 982 daughters 1323.
10 Within 5921 a year 8141 and {a few} days 3117 You will be troubled 7264, O complacent 982 {daughters;} For the vintage 1210 is ended 3615, {And} the {fruit} gathering 625 will not come 935.
11 Tremble 2729, you {women} who 7600 are at ease 7600; Be troubled 7264, you complacent 982 {daughters;} Strip 6584, undress 6209 and put 2296 {sackcloth} on {your} waist 2504,
12 Beat 5594 your breasts 7699 for the pleasant 2531 fields 7704, for the fruitful 6509 vine 1612,
13 For the land 127 of my people 5971 {in which} thorns 6975 {and} briars 8068 shall come 5927 up; Yea 3588, for all 3605 the joyful 4885 houses 1004 {and for} the jubilant 5947 city 7151.
14 Because 3588 the palace 759 has been abandoned 5203, the populated 1995 city 5892 forsaken 5800. Hill 6076 and watch-tower 975 have become 1961 caves 4631 forever, A delight 4885 for wild 6501 donkeys 6501, a pasture 4829 for flocks 5739;
15 Until 5704 the Spirit 7307 is poured 6168 out upon us from on high 4791, And the wilderness 4057 becomes 1961 a fertile 3759 field 3759, And the fertile 3759 field 3759 is considered 2803 as a forest 3293.
16 Then justice 4941 will dwell 7931 in the wilderness 4057 And righteousness 6666 will abide 3427 in the fertile 3759 field 3759.
17 And the work 4639 of righteousness 6666 will be peace 7965, And the service 5656 of righteousness 6666, quietness 8252 and confidence 983 forever.
18 Then my people 5971 will live 3427 in a peaceful 7965 habitation 5116, And in secure 4009 dwellings 4908 and in undisturbed 7600 resting 4496 places 4496;
19 And it will hail 1258 when the forest 3293 comes 3381 down 3381, And the city 5892 will be utterly 8218 laid 8213 low 8213.
20 How blessed 835 will you be, you who sow 2232 beside 5921 all 3605 waters 4325, Who let 7971 out freely 7971 the ox 7794 and the donkey 2543.

The Judgment of God

Woe 1945 to you, O destroyer 7703, While you were not destroyed 7703; And he who is treacherous 898, while {others} did not deal 898 treacherously 898 with him. As soon as you finish 8552 destroying 7703, you will be destroyed 7703; As soon as you cease 5239 to deal 898 treacherously 898, {others} will deal 898 treacherously 898 with you.
2 O LORD 3068, be gracious 2603 to us; we have waited 6960 for You. Be their strength 2220 every morning 1242, Our salvation 3444 also 637 in the time 6256 of distress 6869.
3 At the sound 6963 of the tumult 1995 peoples 5971 flee 5074; At the lifting 7427 up of Yourself nations 1471 disperse 5310.
4 Your spoil 7998 is gathered 622 {as} the caterpillar 2625 gathers 625; As locusts 1361 rushing 4944 about 4944 men rush 8264 about 8264 on it.
5 The LORD 3068 is exalted 7682, for He dwells 7931 on high 4791; He has filled 4390 Zion 6726 with justice 4941 and righteousness 6666.
6 And He will be the stability 530 of your times 6256, A wealth 2633 of salvation 3444, wisdom 2451 and knowledge 1847; The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is his treasure 214.
7 Behold 2005, their brave 691 men 691 cry 6817 in the streets 2351, The ambassadors 4397 of peace 7965 weep 1058 bitterly 4751.
8 The highways 4546 are desolate 8074, the traveler 5674 has ceased 7673, He has broken 6565 the covenant 1285, he has despised 3988 the cities 5892, He has no 3808 regard 2803 for man 582.
9 The land 776 mourns 56 {and} pines 535 away 535, Lebanon 3844 is shamed 2659 {and} withers 7060; Sharon 8289 is like a desert 6160 plain 6160, And Bashan 1316 and Carmel 3760 lose 5287 {their foliage.}
10 "Now 6258 I will arise 6965," says 559 the LORD 3068, "Now 6258 I will be exalted 7426, now 6258 I will be lifted 5375 up.
11 "You have conceived 2029 chaff 2842, you will give 3205 birth 3205 to stubble 7179; My breath 7307 will consume 398 you like a fire 784.
12 "The peoples 5971 will be burned 4955 to lime 7875, Like cut 3683 thorns 6975 which are burned 3341 in the fire 784.
13 ¶ "You who 7350 are far 7350 away 7350, hear 8085 what 834 I have done 6213; And you who 7138 are near 7138, acknowledge 3045 My might 1369."
14 Sinners 2400 in Zion 6726 are terrified 6342; Trembling 7461 has seized 270 the godless 2611. "Who 4310 among us can live 1481 with the consuming 398 fire 784? Who 4310 among us can live 1481 with continual 5769 burning 4168?"
15 He who walks 1980 righteously 6666 and speaks 1696 with sincerity 4339, He who rejects 3988 unjust gain 1215 And shakes 5287 his hands 3709 so 4480 that they hold 8551 no 4480 bribe 7810; He who stops 331 his ears 241 from hearing 8085 about bloodshed 1818 And shuts 6105 his eyes 5869 from looking 7200 upon evil 7451;
16 He will dwell 7931 on the heights 4791, His refuge 4869 will be the impregnable 4679 rock 5553; His bread 3899 will be given 5414 {him,} His water 4325 will be sure 539.
17 ¶ Your eyes 5869 will see 2372 the King 4428 in His beauty 3308; They will behold 7200 a far-distant 4801 land 776.
18 Your heart 3820 will meditate 1897 on terror 367: "Where 346 is he who counts 5608? Where 346 is he who weighs 8254? Where 346 is he who counts 5608 the towers 4026?"
19 You will no 3808 longer see 7200 a fierce 3267 people 5971, A people 5971 of unintelligible 6012 speech 8193 which no 4480 one comprehends 8085, Of a stammering 3932 tongue 3956 which no 369 one 369 understands 998.
20 Look 2372 upon Zion 6726, the city 7151 of our appointed 4150 feasts 4150; Your eyes 5869 will see 7200 Jerusalem 3389, an undisturbed 7600 habitation 5116, A tent 168 which will not be folded 6813; Its stakes 3489 will never be pulled 5265 up, Nor 1077 any 3605 of its cords 2256 be torn 5423 apart 5423.
21 But there 8033 the majestic 117 {One,} the LORD 3068, will be for us A place 4725 of rivers 5104 {and} wide 7342 canals 2975 On which no 1077 boat 590 with oars 7885 will go 1980, And on which no 3808 mighty 117 ship 6716 will pass 5674--
22 For the LORD 3068 is our judge 8199, The LORD 3068 is our lawgiver 2710, The LORD 3068 is our king 4428; He will save 3467 us--
23 Your tackle 2256 hangs 5203 slack 5203; It cannot 1077 hold 2388 the base 3653 of its mast 8650 firmly 2388, Nor 1077 spread 6566 out the sail 5251. Then 227 the prey 5706 of an abundant 4766 spoil 7998 will be divided 2505; The lame 6455 will take 962 the plunder 957.
24 And no 1077 resident 7934 will say 559, "I am sick 2470"; The people 5971 who dwell 3427 there will be forgiven 5375 {their} iniquity 5771.

God's Wrath against Nations

Draw 7126 near 7126, O nations 1471, to hear 8085; and listen 7181, O peoples 3816! Let the earth 776 and all it contains 4393 hear 8085, and the world 8398 and all 3605 that springs 6631 from it.
2 For the LORD'S 3068 indignation 7110 is against 5921 all 3605 the nations 1471, And {His} wrath 2534 against 5921 all 3605 their armies 6635; He has utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 them, He has given 5414 them over to slaughter 2874.
3 So their slain 2491 will be thrown 7993 out, And their corpses 6297 will give 5927 off 5927 their stench 889, And the mountains 2022 will be drenched 4549 with their blood 1818.
4 And all 3605 the host 6635 of heaven 8064 will wear 4743 away 4743, And the sky 8064 will be rolled 1556 up like a scroll 5612; All 3605 their hosts 6635 will also wither 5034 away 5034 As a leaf 5929 withers 5034 from the vine 1612, Or as {one} withers 5034 from the fig 8384 tree 8384.
5 For My sword 2719 is satiated 7301 in heaven 8064, Behold 2009 it shall descend 3381 for judgment 4941 upon Edom 112 And upon the people 5971 whom I have devoted 2764 to destruction 4941.
6 The sword 2719 of the LORD 3068 is filled 4390 with blood 1818, It is sated 1878 with fat 2459, with the blood 1818 of lambs 3733 and goats 6260, With the fat 2459 of the kidneys 3629 of rams 352. For the LORD 3068 has a sacrifice 2077 in Bozrah 1224 And a great 1419 slaughter 2874 in the land 776 of Edom 112.
7 Wild 7214 oxen 7214 will also fall 3381 with them And young 6499 bulls 6499 with strong 47 ones 47; Thus their land 776 will be soaked 7301 with blood 1818, And their dust 6083 become 1878 greasy 1878 with fat 2459.
8 For the LORD 3068 has a day 3117 of vengeance 5359, A year 8141 of recompense 7966 for the cause 7379 of Zion 6726.
9 Its streams 5158 will be turned 2015 into pitch 2203, And its loose 6083 earth 6083 into brimstone 1614, And its land 776 will become 1961 burning 1197 pitch 2203.
10 It will not be quenched 3518 night 3915 or day 3119; Its smoke 6227 will go 5927 up forever 5769. From generation 1755 to generation 1755 it will be desolate 2717; None 369 will pass 5674 through it forever 5331 and ever 5331.
11 But pelican 6893 and hedgehog 7090 will possess 3423 it, And owl 3244 and raven 6158 will dwell 7931 in it; And He will stretch 5186 over 5921 it the line 6957 of desolation 8414 And the plumb 68 line 68 of emptiness 922.
12 Its nobles 2715--there 369 is no 369 one 369 there 8033 {Whom} they may proclaim 7121 king 4410-- And all 3605 its princes 8269 will be nothing 657.
13 Thorns 5518 will come 5927 up in its fortified 4013 towers 759, Nettles 7057 and thistles 2336 in its fortified 4013 cities 4013; It will also be a haunt 5116 of jackals 8565 {And} an abode 2681 of ostriches 3284.
14 The desert 6716 creatures 6716 will meet 6298 with the wolves 338, The hairy 8163 goat 8163 also will cry 7121 to its kind 7453; Yes 389, the night 3917 monster 3917 will settle 7280 there 8033 And will find 4672 herself a resting 4494 place 4494.
15 The tree 7091 snake 7091 will make 7077 its nest 7077 and lay 4422 {eggs} there 8033, And it will hatch 1234 and gather 1716 {them} under its protection 6738. Yes 389, the hawks 1772 will be gathered 6908 there 8033, Every 802 one 376 with its kind 7468.
16 ¶ Seek 1875 from the book 5612 of the LORD 3068, and read 7121: Not one 259 of these 2007 will be missing 5737; None will lack 6485 its mate 7468. For His mouth 6310 has commanded 6680, And His Spirit 7307 has gathered 6908 them.
17 He has cast 5307 the lot 1486 for them, And His hand 3027 has divided 2505 it to them by line 6957. They shall possess 3423 it forever; From generation 1755 to generation 1755 they will dwell 7931 in it.

Zion's Happy Future

The wilderness 4057 and the desert 6723 will be glad 1523, And the Arabah 6160 will rejoice 1523 and blossom 6524; Like the crocus 2261
2 It will blossom 6524 profusely 6524 And rejoice 1523 with rejoicing 1525 and shout 7442 of joy 7442. The glory 3519 of Lebanon 3844 will be given 5414 to it, The majesty 1926 of Carmel 3760 and Sharon 8289. They will see 7200 the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068, The majesty 1926 of our God 430.
3 Encourage 2388 the exhausted, and strengthen 553 the feeble.
4 Say 559 to those with anxious 4116 heart 3820, "Take 2388 courage 2388, fear 3372 not. Behold 2009, your God 430 will come 935 {with} vengeance 5359; The recompense 1576 of God 430 will come 935, But He will save 3467 you."
5 Then 227 the eyes 5869 of the blind 5787 will be opened 6491 And the ears 241 of the deaf 2795 will be unstopped 6605.
6 Then 227 the lame 6455 will leap 1801 like a deer 354, And the tongue 3956 of the mute 483 will shout 7442 for joy 7442. For waters 4325 will break 1234 forth 1234 in the wilderness 4057 And streams 5158 in the Arabah 6160.
7 The scorched 8273 land 8273 will become 1961 a pool 98 And the thirsty 6774 ground 6774 springs 4002 of water 4325; In the haunt 5116 of jackals 8565, its resting 7258 place 7258, Grass 2682 {becomes} reeds 7070 and rushes 1573.
8 A highway 4547 will be there 8033, a roadway 1870, And it will be called 7121 the Highway 1870 of Holiness 6944. The unclean 2931 will not travel 5674 on it, But it {will} be for him who walks 1980 {that} way 1870, And fools 191 will not wander 8582 {on it.}
9 No 3808 lion 743 will be there 8033, Nor 1077 will any vicious 6530 beast 2421 go 5927 up on it; These will not be found 4672 there 8033. But the redeemed 1350 will walk 1980 {there,}
10 And the ransomed 6299 of the LORD 3068 will return 7725 And come 935 with joyful 7440 shouting 7440 to Zion 6726, With everlasting 5769 joy 8057 upon their heads 7218. They will find 5381 gladness 8342 and joy 8057, And sorrow 3015 and sighing 585 will flee 5127 away 5127.

Sennacherib Invades Judah

Now in the fourteenth year 8141 of King 4428 Hezekiah 2396, Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria 804 came 5927 up against 5921 all 3605 the fortified 1219 cities 5892 of Judah 3063 and seized 8610 them.
2 And the king 4428 of Assyria 804 sent 7971 Rabshakeh 7262 from Lachish 3923 to Jerusalem 3389 to King 4428 Hezekiah 2396 with a large 3515 army 2428. And he stood 5975 by the conduit 8585 of the upper 5945 pool 1295 on the highway 4546 of the fuller's 3526 field 7704.
3 Then Eliakim 471 the son 1121 of Hilkiah 2518, who 834 was over 5921 the household 1004, and Shebna 7644 the scribe 5613, and Joah 3098 the son 1121 of Asaph 623, the recorder 2142, came 3318 out to him.
4 ¶ Then Rabshakeh 7262 said 559 to them, "Say 559 now 4994 to Hezekiah 2396, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the great 1419 king 4428, the king 4428 of Assyria 804, "What 4100 is this 2088 confidence 986 that you have 982?
5 "I say 559, 'Your counsel 6098 and strength 1369 for the war 4421 are only 389 empty 8193 words 1697.' Now 6258 on whom 4310 do you rely 982, that you have rebelled 4775 against me?
6 "Behold 2009, you rely 982 on the staff 4938 of this 2088 crushed 7533 reed 7070, {even} on Egypt 4714, on which 834 if a man 376 leans 5564, it will go 935 into his hand 3709 and pierce 5344 it. So 3651 is Pharaoh 6547 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 to all 3605 who rely 982 on him.
7 "But if 3588 you say 559 to me, 'We trust 982 in the LORD 3068 our God 430,' is it not He whose 834 high 1116 places 1116 and whose altars 4196 Hezekiah 2396 has taken 5493 away 5493 and has said 559 to Judah 3063 and to Jerusalem 3389, 'You shall worship 7812 before 6440 this 2088 altar 4196'?
8 "Now 6258 therefore, come 4994 make 6148 a bargain 6148 with my master 113 the king 4428 of Assyria 804, and I will give 5414 you two thousand 505 horses 5483, if 518 you are able 3201 on your part to set 5414 riders 7392 on them.
9 "How 349 then can you repulse one 259 official 6346 of the least 6996 of my master's 113 servants 5650 and rely 982 on Egypt 4714 for chariots 7393 and for horsemen 6571?
10 "Have I now 6258 come 5927 up without 1107 the LORD'S 3068 approval against 5921 this 384 land 776 to destroy 7843 it? The LORD 3068 said 559 to me, 'Go 5927 up against 413 this 384 land 776 and destroy 7843 it.'"'"
11 ¶ Then Eliakim 471 and Shebna 7644 and Joah 3098 said 559 to Rabshakeh 7262, "Speak 1696 now 4994 to your servants 5650 in Aramaic 762, for we understand 8085 {it;} and do not speak 1696 with us in Judean 3066 in the hearing 241 of the people 5971 who 834 are on the wall 2346."
12 But Rabshakeh 7262 said 559, "Has my master 113 sent 7971 me only to your master 113 and to you to speak 1696 these 428 words 1697, {and} not to the men 376 who sit 3427 on the wall 2346, {doomed} to eat 398 their own dung 2716 and drink 8354 their own urine 7890 with you?"
13 ¶ Then Rabshakeh 7262 stood 5975 and cried 7121 with a loud 1419 voice 6963 in Judean 3066 and said 559, "Hear 8085 the words 1697 of the great 1419 king 4428, the king 4428 of Assyria 804.
14 "Thus 3541 says 559 the king 4428, 'Do not let Hezekiah 2396 deceive 5378 you, for he will not be able 3201 to deliver 5337 you;
15 nor 408 let Hezekiah 2396 make you trust 982 in the LORD 3068, saying 559, "The LORD 3068 will surely 5337 deliver 5337 us, this 384 city 5892 will not be given 5414 into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804."
16 'Do not listen 8085 to Hezekiah 2396,' for thus 3541 says 559 the king 4428 of Assyria 804, 'Make 6213 your peace 1293 with me and come 3318 out to me, and eat 398 each 376 of his vine 1612 and each 376 of his fig 8384 tree 8384 and drink 8354 each 376 of the waters 4325 of his own cistern 953,
17 until 5704 I come 935 and take 3947 you away to a land 776 like your own land 776, a land 776 of grain 1715 and new 8492 wine 8492, a land 776 of bread 3899 and vineyards 3754.
18 '{Beware} that Hezekiah 2396 does not mislead 5496 you, saying 559, "The LORD 3068 will deliver 5337 us." Has any 376 one 376 of the gods 430 of the nations 1471 delivered 5337 his land 776 from the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804?
19 'Where 346 are the gods 430 of Hamath 2574 and Arpad 774? Where 346 are the gods 430 of Sepharvaim 5617? And when 3588 have they delivered 5337 Samaria 8111 from my hand 3027?
20 'Who 4310 among all 3605 the gods 430 of these 428 lands 776 have delivered 5337 their land 776 from my hand 3027, that the LORD 3068 would deliver 5337 Jerusalem 3389 from my hand 3027?'"
21 ¶ But they were silent 2790 and answered 6030 him not a word 1697; for the king's 4428 commandment 4687 was, "Do not answer 6030 him."
22 Then Eliakim 471 the son 1121 of Hilkiah 2518, who 834 was over 5921 the household 1004, and Shebna 7644 the scribe 5613 and Joah 3098 the son 1121 of Asaph 623, the recorder 2142, came 935 to Hezekiah 2396 with their clothes 899 torn 7167 and told 5046 him the words 1697 of Rabshakeh 7262.

Hezekiah Seeks Isaiah's Help

And when King 4428 Hezekiah 2396 heard 8085 {it,} he tore 7167 his clothes 899, covered 3680 himself with sackcloth 8242 and entered 935 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.
2 Then he sent 7971 Eliakim 471 who 834 was over 5921 the household 1004 with Shebna 7644 the scribe 5613 and the elders 2205 of the priests 3548, covered 3680 with sackcloth 8242, to Isaiah 3470 the prophet 5030, the son 1121 of Amoz 531.
3 They said 559 to him, "Thus 3541 says 559 Hezekiah 2396, 'This 2088 day 3117 is a day 3117 of distress 6869, rebuke 8433 and rejection 5007; for children 1121 have come 935 to birth 4866, and there 369 is no 369 strength 3581 to deliver 3205.
4 'Perhaps 194 the LORD 3068 your God 430 will hear 8085 the words 1697 of Rabshakeh 7262, whom 834 his master 113 the king 4428 of Assyria 804 has sent 7971 to reproach 2778 the living 2416 God 430, and will rebuke 3198 the words 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has heard 8085. Therefore, offer 5375 a prayer 8605 for the remnant 7611 that is left 4672.'"
5 ¶ So the servants 5650 of King 4428 Hezekiah 2396 came 935 to Isaiah 3470.
6 Isaiah 3470 said 559 to them, "Thus 3541 you shall say 559 to your master 113, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Do not be afraid 3372 because of the words 1697 that you have heard 8085, with which 834 the servants 5288 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804 have blasphemed 1442 Me.
7 "Behold 2009, I will put 5414 a spirit 7307 in him so that he will hear 8085 a rumor 8052 and return 7725 to his own land 776. And I will make him fall 5307 by the sword 2719 in his own land 776."'"
8 ¶ Then Rabshakeh 7262 returned 7725 and found 4672 the king of Assyria 804 fighting 3898 against 5921 Libnah 3841, for he had heard 8085 that the king had left 5265 Lachish 3923.
9 When he heard 8085 {them} say 559 concerning 5921 Tirhakah 8640 king 4428 of Cush 3568, "He has come 3318 out to fight 3898 against 854 you," and when he heard 8085 {it} he sent 7971 messengers 4397 to Hezekiah 2396, saying 559,
10 "Thus 3541 you shall say 559 to Hezekiah 2396 king 4428 of Judah 3063, 'Do not let your God 430 in whom 834 you trust 982 deceive 5378 you, saying 559, "Jerusalem 3389 will not be given 5414 into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804."
11 'Behold 2009, you have heard 8085 what 834 the kings 4428 of Assyria 804 have done 6213 to all 3605 the lands 776, destroying 2763 them completely 2763. So will you be spared 5337?
12 'Did the gods 430 of those nations 1471 which 834 my fathers 1 have destroyed 7843 deliver 5337 them, {even} Gozan 1470 and Haran 2771 and Rezeph 7530 and the sons 1121 of Eden 5729 who 834 {were} in Telassar 8515?
13 'Where 346 is the king 4428 of Hamath 2574, the king 4428 of Arpad 774, the king 4428 of the city 5892 of Sepharvaim 5617, {and of} Hena 2012 and Ivvah 5755?'"
14

Hezekiah's Prayer in the Temple

¶ Then Hezekiah 2396 took 3947 the letter 5612 from the hand 3027 of the messengers 4397 and read 7121 it, and he went 5927 up to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 and spread 6566 it out before 6440 the LORD 3068.
15 Hezekiah 2396 prayed 6419 to the LORD 3068 saying 559,
16 "O LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478, who is enthroned 3427 {above} the cherubim 3742, You are the God 430, You alone 905, of all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 of the earth 776. You have made 6213 heaven 8064 and earth 776.
17 "Incline 5186 Your ear 241, O LORD 3068, and hear 8085; open 6491 Your eyes 5869, O LORD 3068, and see 7200; and listen 8085 to all 3605 the words 1697 of Sennacherib 5576, who sent 7971 {them} to reproach 2778 the living 2416 God 430.
18 "Truly 551, O LORD 3068, the kings 4428 of Assyria 804 have devastated 2717 all 3605 the countries 776 and their lands 776,
19 and have cast 5414 their gods 430 into the fire 784, for they were not gods 430 but the work 4639 of men's 120 hands 3027, wood 6086 and stone 68. So they have destroyed 6 them.
20 "Now 6258, O LORD 3068 our God 430, deliver 3467 us from his hand 3027 that all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 of the earth 776 may know 3045 that You alone 905, LORD 3068, are God 430."
21

God Answers through Isaiah

¶ Then Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 sent 7971 {word} to Hezekiah 2396, saying 559, "Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, 'Because 834 you have prayed 6419 to Me about 413 Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria 804,
22 this 2088 is the word 1697 that the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696 against 5921 him: "She has despised 959 you and mocked 3932 you, The virgin 1330 daughter 1323 of Zion 6726; She has shaken 5128 {her} head 7218 behind 310 you, The daughter 1323 of Jerusalem 3389!
23 "Whom 4310 have you reproached 2778 and blasphemed 1442? And against 5921 whom 4310 have you raised 7311 {your} voice 6963 And haughtily 4791 lifted 5375 up your eyes 5869? Against 413 the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478!
24 "Through 3027 your servants 5650 you have reproached 2778 the Lord 136, And you have said 559, 'With my many 7230 chariots 7393 I came 5927 up to the heights 4791 of the mountains 2022, To the remotest 3411 parts 3411 of Lebanon 3844; And I cut 3772 down 3772 its tall 6967 cedars 730 {and} its choice 4004 cypresses 1265. And I will go 935 to its highest 7093 peak 7093, its thickest 3759 forest 3293.
25 'I dug 6979 {wells} and drank 8354 waters 4325, And with the sole 3709 of my feet 6471 I dried 2717 up All 3605 the rivers 2975 of Egypt 4693.'
26 "Have you not heard 8085? Long 7350 ago 7350 I did 6213 it, From ancient 6924 times I planned 3335 it. Now 6258 I have brought 935 it to pass 935, That you should turn 7582 fortified 1219 cities 5892 into ruinous 5327 heaps 1530.
27 "Therefore their inhabitants 3427 were short 7116 of strength 3027, They were dismayed 2865 and put 954 to shame 954; They were {as} the vegetation 6212 of the field 7704 and {as} the green 3419 herb 1877, {As} grass 2682 on the housetops 1406 is scorched 7711 before 6440 it is grown 7054 up.
28 "But I know 3045 your sitting 3427 down 3427 And your going 3318 out and your coming 935 in And your raging 7264 against 413 Me.
29 "Because 3282 of your raging 7264 against 413 Me And because your arrogance 7600 has come 5927 up to My ears 241, Therefore I will put 7760 My hook 2397 in your nose 639 And My bridle 4964 in your lips 8193, And I will turn 7725 you back 7725 by the way 1870 which 834 you came 935.
30 ¶ "Then this 2088 shall be the sign 226 for you: you will eat 398 this year 8141 what 5599 grows 5599 of itself, in the second 8145 year 8141 what 5501 springs 5501 from the same, and in the third 7992 year 8141 sow 2232, reap 7114, plant 5193 vineyards 3754 and eat 398 their fruit 6529.
31 "The surviving 7604 remnant 7604 of the house 1004 of Judah 3063 will again 3254 take root 8328 downward 4295 and bear 6213 fruit 6529 upward 4605.
32 "For out of Jerusalem 3389 will go 3318 forth 3318 a remnant 7611 and out of Mount 2022 Zion 6726 survivors 6413. The zeal 7068 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will perform 6213 this 384."'
33 ¶ "Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 concerning 413 the king 4428 of Assyria 804, 'He will not come 935 to this 384 city 5892 or shoot 3384 an arrow 2671 there 8033; and he will not come 6923 before 6923 it with a shield 4043, or 3808 throw 8210 up a siege 5550 ramp 5550 against 5921 it.
34 'By the way 1870 that he came 935, by the same he will return 7725, and he will not come 935 to this 384 city 5892,' declares 5002 the LORD 3068.
35 'For I will defend 1598 this 384 city 5892 to save 3467 it for My own sake 4616 and for My servant 5650 David's 1732 sake 4616.'"
36

Assyrians Destroyed

¶ Then the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 went 3318 out and struck 5221 185,000 in the camp 4264 of the Assyrians 804; and when men arose 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242, behold 2009, all 3605 of these were dead.
37 So Sennacherib 5576 king 4428 of Assyria 804 departed 5265 and returned 7725 {home} and lived 3427 at Nineveh 5210.
38 It came 1961 about as he was worshiping 7812 in the house 1004 of Nisroch 5268 his god 430, that Adrammelech 152 and Sharezer 8272 his sons 1121 killed 5221 him with the sword 2719; and they escaped 4422 into the land 776 of Ararat 780. And Esarhaddon 634 his son 1121 became 4427 king 4427 in his place 8478.

Hezekiah Healed

In those 1992 days 3117 Hezekiah 2396 became 2470 mortally 4191 ill 2470. And Isaiah 3470 the prophet 5030 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 came 935 to him and said 559 to him, "Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, 'Set 6680 your house 1004 in order 6680, for you shall die 4191 and not live 2421.'"
2 Then Hezekiah 2396 turned 5437 his face 6440 to the wall 7023 and prayed 6419 to the LORD 3068,
3 and said 559, "Remember 2142 now 4994, O 577 LORD 3068, I beseech 577 You, how 834 I have walked 1980 before 6440 You in truth 571 and with a whole 8003 heart 3820, and have done 6213 what 2896 is good 2896 in Your sight 5869." And Hezekiah 2396 wept 1058 bitterly 1419.
4 ¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to Isaiah 3470, saying 559,
5 "Go 1980 and say 559 to Hezekiah 2396, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your father 1 David 1732, "I have heard 8085 your prayer 8605, I have seen 7200 your tears 1832; behold 2009, I will add 3254 fifteen years 8141 to your life 3117.
6 "I will deliver 5337 you and this 384 city 5892 from the hand 3709 of the king 4428 of Assyria 804; and I will defend 1598 this 384 city 5892."'
7 ¶ "This 2088 shall be the sign 226 to you from the LORD 3068, that the LORD 3068 will do 6213 this 2088 thing 1697 that He has spoken 1696:
8 "Behold 2009, I will cause 7725 the shadow 6738 on the stairway 4609, which 834 has gone 3381 down 3381 with the sun 8121 on the stairway 4609 of Ahaz 271, to go 7725 back 322 ten 6235 steps 4609." So the sun's 8121 {shadow} went 7725 back 7725 ten 6235 steps 4609 on the stairway 4609 on which 834 it had gone 3381 down 3381.
9 ¶ A writing 4385 of Hezekiah 2396 king 4428 of Judah 3063 after his illness 2483 and recovery 2421:
10 I said 559, "In the middle 1824 of my life 3117 I am to enter 1980 the gates 8179 of Sheol 7585; I am to be deprived 6485 of the rest 3499 of my years 8141."
11 I said 559, "I will not see 7200 the LORD 3050, The LORD 3050 in the land 776 of the living 2416; I will look 5027 on man 120 no 3808 more 5750 among 5973 the inhabitants 3427 of the world 2465.
12 "Like a shepherd's 7473 tent 168 my dwelling 1755 is pulled 5265 up and removed 1540 from me; As a weaver 707 I rolled 7088 up my life 2425. He cuts 1214 me off 1214 from the loom 1803; From day 3117 until 5704 night 3915 You make 7999 an end 7999 of me.
13 "I composed 7737 {my soul} until 5704 morning 1242. Like a lion 738--so 3651 He breaks 7665 all 3605 my bones 6106, From day 3117 until 5704 night 3915 You make 7999 an end 7999 of me.
14 "Like a swallow 5483, {like} a crane 5693, so 3651 I twitter 6850; I moan 1897 like a dove 3123; My eyes 5869 look 1809 wistfully 1809 to the heights 4791; O Lord 3068, I am oppressed 6234, be my security 6148.
15 ¶ "What 4100 shall I say 1696? For He has spoken 559 to me, and He Himself 1931 has done 6213 it; I will wander 1718 about all 3605 my years 8141 because 5921 of the bitterness 4751 of my soul 5315.
16 "O Lord 136, by {these} things {men} live 2421, And in all 3605 these is the life 2425 of my spirit 7307; O restore 2492 me to health 2492 and let me live 2421!
17 "Lo 2009, for {my own} welfare 7965 I had 4843 great 4751 bitterness 4751; It is You who has kept 2836 my soul 5315 from the pit 7845 of nothingness 1097, For You have cast 7993 all 3605 my sins 2399 behind 310 Your back 1460.
18 "For Sheol 7585 cannot 3808 thank 3034 You, Death 4194 cannot praise 1984 You; Those who go 3381 down 3381 to the pit 953 cannot 3808 hope 7663 for Your faithfulness 571.
19 "It is the living 2416 who give 3034 thanks 3034 to You, as I do today 3117; A father 1 tells 3045 his sons 1121 about 413 Your faithfulness 571.
20 "The LORD 3068 will surely save 3467 me; So we will play 5059 my songs 5058 on stringed 5058 instruments All 3605 {the} days 3117 of our life 2425 at the house 1004 of the LORD 3068."
21 ¶ Now Isaiah 3470 had said 559, "Let them take 5375 a cake 1690 of figs 8384 and apply 4799 it to the boil 7822, that he may recover 2421."
22 Then Hezekiah 2396 had said 559, "What 4100 is the sign 226 that I shall go 5927 up to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068?"

Hezekiah Shows His Treasures

At that time 6256 Merodach-baladan 4757 son 1121 of Baladan 1081, king 4428 of Babylon 894, sent 7971 letters 5612 and a present 4503 to Hezekiah 2396, for he heard 8085 that he had been 2470 sick 2470 and had recovered 2388.
2 Hezekiah 2396 was pleased, and showed 7200 them {all} his treasure 5238 house 1004, the silver 3701 and the gold 2091 and the spices 1314 and the precious 2896 oil 8081 and his whole 3605 armory and all 3605 that was found 4672 in his treasuries 214. There was nothing in his house 1004 nor in all 3605 his dominion 4475 that Hezekiah 2396 did not show 7200 them.
3 Then Isaiah 3470 the prophet 5030 came 935 to King 4428 Hezekiah 2396 and said 559 to him, "What 4100 did these 428 men 376 say 559, and from where 370 have they come 935 to you?" And Hezekiah 2396 said 559, "They have come 935 to me from a far 7350 country 776, from Babylon 894."
4 He said 559, "What 4100 have they seen 7200 in your house 1004?" So Hezekiah 2396 answered 559, "They have seen 7200 all 3605 that is in my house 1004; there is nothing among my treasuries 214 that I have not shown 7200 them."
5 ¶ Then Isaiah 3470 said 559 to Hezekiah 2396, "Hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635,
6 'Behold 2009, the days 3117 are coming 935 when all 3605 that is in your house 1004 and all that your fathers 1 have laid 686 up in store 686 to this 2088 day 3117 will be carried 5375 to Babylon 894; nothing will be left 3498,' says 559 the LORD 3068.
7 'And {some} of your sons 1121 who 834 will issue 3318 from you, whom 834 you will beget 3205, will be taken 3947 away, and they will become 1961 officials 5631 in the palace 1964 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894.'"
8 Then Hezekiah 2396 said 559 to Isaiah 3470, "The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 which 834 you have spoken 1696 is good 2896." For he thought 559, "For there will be peace 7965 and truth 571 in my days 3117."

The Greatness of God

"Comfort 5162, O comfort 5162 My people 5971," says 559 your God 430.
2 "Speak 1696 kindly 3820 to Jerusalem 3389; And call 7121 out to her, that her warfare 6635 has ended 4390, That her iniquity 5771 has been removed 7521, That she has received 3947 of the LORD'S 3068 hand 3027 Double 3718 for all 3605 her sins 2403."
3 ¶ A voice 6963 is calling 7121, "Clear 6437 the way 1870 for the LORD 3068 in the wilderness 4057; Make 3474 smooth 3474 in the desert 6160 a highway 4546 for our God 430.
4 "Let every 3605 valley 1516 be lifted 5375 up, And every 3605 mountain 2022 and hill 1389 be made 8213 low 8213; And let the rough 6121 ground 6121 become 1961 a plain 4334, And the rugged 7406 terrain 7406 a broad 1237 valley 1237;
5 Then the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 will be revealed 1540, And all 3605 flesh 1320 will see 7200 {it} together 3164; For the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696."
6 A voice 6963 says 559, "Call 7121 out." Then he answered 559, "What 4100 shall I call 7121 out?" All 3605 flesh 1320 is grass 2682, and all 3605 its loveliness 2617 is like the flower 6731 of the field 7704.
7 The grass 2682 withers 3001, the flower 6731 fades 5034, When 3588 the breath 7307 of the LORD 3068 blows 5380 upon it; Surely 403 the people 5971 are grass 2682.
8 The grass 2682 withers 3001, the flower 6731 fades 5034, But the word 1697 of our God 430 stands 6965 forever 5769.
9 ¶ Get 5927 yourself up on a high 1364 mountain 2022, O Zion 6726, bearer 1319 of good news 1319, Lift 7311 up your voice 6963 mightily 3581, O Jerusalem 3389, bearer 1319 of good news 1319; Lift 7311 {it} up, do not fear 3372. Say 559 to the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, "Here 2009 is your God 430!"
10 Behold 2009, the Lord 136 GOD 3068 will come 935 with might 2389, With His arm 2220 ruling 4910 for Him. Behold 2009, His reward 7939 is with Him And His recompense 6468 before 6440 Him.
11 Like a shepherd 7462 He will tend 7462 His flock 5739, In His arm 2220 He will gather 6908 the lambs 2924 And carry 5375 {them} in His bosom 2436; He will gently lead 5095 the nursing 5763 {ewes.}
12 ¶ Who 4310 has measured 4058 the waters 4325 in the hollow 8168 of His hand 8168, And marked 8505 off 8505 the heavens 8064 by the span 2239, And calculated 3557 the dust 6083 of the earth 776 by the measure 7991, And weighed 8254 the mountains 2022 in a balance 6425 And the hills 1389 in a pair of scales 3976?
13 Who 4310 has directed 8505 the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068, Or as His counselor has informed 3045 Him?
14 With whom 4310 did He consult 3289 and {who} gave 995 Him understanding 995? And {who} taught 3925 Him in the path 734 of justice 4941 and taught 3925 Him knowledge 1847 And informed 3045 Him of the way 1870 of understanding 8394?
15 Behold 2005, the nations 1471 are like a drop 4752 from a bucket 1805, And are regarded 2803 as a speck 7834 of dust 7834 on the scales 3976; Behold 2005, He lifts 5190 up the islands 339 like fine 1851 dust 1851.
16 Even Lebanon 3844 is not enough 1767 to burn 1197, Nor 369 its beasts 2421 enough 1767 for a burnt 5930 offering 5930.
17 All 3605 the nations 1471 are as nothing 369 before 5048 Him, They are regarded 2803 by Him as less 657 than 4480 nothing 657 and meaningless 8414.
18 ¶ To whom 4310 then will you liken 1819 God 410? Or what 4100 likeness 1823 will you compare 6186 with Him?
19 {As for} the idol 6459, a craftsman 2796 casts 5258 it, A goldsmith 6884 plates 7554 it with gold 2091, And a silversmith 6884 {fashions} chains 7577 of silver 3701.
20 He who is too impoverished 5532 for {such} an offering 8641 Selects 977 a tree 6086 that does not rot 7537; He seeks 1245 out for himself a skillful 2450 craftsman 2796 To prepare 3559 an idol 6459 that will not totter 4131.
21 ¶ Do you not know 3045? Have you not heard 8085? Has it not been declared 5046 to you from the beginning 7218? Have you not understood 995 from the foundations 4144 of the earth 776?
22 It is He who sits 3427 above 5921 the circle 2329 of the earth 776, And its inhabitants 3427 are like grasshoppers 2284, Who stretches 5186 out the heavens 8064 like a curtain 1852 And spreads 4969 them out like a tent 168 to dwell 3427 in.
23 He {it is} who reduces 5414 rulers 7336 to nothing 369, Who makes 6213 the judges 8199 of the earth 776 meaningless 8414.
24 Scarcely have they been planted 5193, Scarcely have they been sown 2232, Scarcely has their stock 1503 taken 8327 root 8327 in the earth 776, But He merely 1571 blows 5398 on them, and they wither 3001, And the storm 5591 carries 5375 them away like stubble 7179.
25 "To whom 4310 then will you liken 1819 Me That I would be {his} equal 7737?" says 559 the Holy 6918 One 6918.
26 Lift 5375 up your eyes 5869 on high 4791 And see 7200 who 4310 has created 1254 these 428 {stars,} The One who leads 3318 forth 3318 their host 6635 by number 4557, He calls 7121 them all 3605 by name 8034; Because 4480 of the greatness 7230 of His might 202 and the strength 533 of {His} power 3581, Not one 376 {of them} is missing 5737.
27 ¶ Why 4100 do you say 559, O Jacob 3290, and assert 1696, O Israel 3478, "My way 1870 is hidden 5641 from the LORD 3068, And the justice 4941 due me escapes 5674 the notice 5674 of my God 430"?
28 Do you not know 3045? Have you not heard 8085? The Everlasting 5769 God 430, the LORD 3068, the Creator 1254 of the ends 7098 of the earth 776 Does not become 3286 weary 3286 or tired 3021. His understanding 8394 is inscrutable.
29 He gives 5414 strength 3581 to the weary 3287, And to {him who} lacks 369 might 202 He increases 7235 power 6109.
30 Though youths 5288 grow 3286 weary 3286 and tired 3021, And vigorous 970 young 970 men 970 stumble 3782 badly 3782,
31 Yet those who wait 6960 for the LORD 3068 Will gain 2498 new 2498 strength 3581; They will mount 5927 up {with} wings 83 like eagles 5404, They will run 7323 and not get 3021 tired 3021, They will walk 1980 and not become 3286 weary 3286.

Israel Encouraged

"Coastlands 339, listen to Me in silence 2790, And let the peoples 3816 gain 2498 new 2498 strength 3581; Let them come 5066 forward 5066, then 227 let them speak 1696; Let us come 7126 together 3164 for judgment 4941.
2 "Who 4310 has aroused 5782 one from the east 4217 Whom He calls 7121 in righteousness 6664 to His feet 7272? He delivers 5414 up nations 1471 before 6440 him And subdues 7287 kings 4428. He makes 5414 them like dust 6083 with his sword 2719, As the wind-driven chaff 7179 with his bow 7198.
3 "He pursues 7291 them, passing 5674 on in safety 7965, By a way 734 he had not been traversing 935 with his feet 7272.
4 "Who 4310 has performed 6466 and accomplished 6213 {it,} Calling 7121 forth the generations 1755 from the beginning 7218? 'I, the LORD 3068, am the first 7223, and with the last 314. I am He.'"
5 ¶ The coastlands 339 have seen 7200 and are afraid 3372; The ends 7098 of the earth 776 tremble 2729; They have drawn 7126 near 7126 and have come 857.
6 Each 376 one 376 helps 5826 his neighbor 7453 And says 559 to his brother 251, "Be strong 2388!"
7 So the craftsman 2796 encourages 2388 the smelter 6884, {And} he who smooths 2505 {metal} with the hammer 6360 {encourages} him who beats 1986 the anvil 6471, Saying 559 of the soldering 1694, "It is good 2896"; And he fastens 2388 it with nails 4548, {So that} it will not totter 4131.
8 "But you, Israel 3478, My servant 5650, Jacob 3290 whom 834 I have chosen 977, Descendant 2233 of Abraham 85 My friend 157,
9 You whom 834 I have taken 2388 from the ends 7098 of the earth 776, And called 7121 from its remotest 678 parts 678 And said 559 to you, 'You are My servant 5650, I have chosen 977 you and not rejected 3988 you.
10 'Do not fear 3372, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look 8159 about you, for I am your God 430. I will strengthen 553 you, surely 637 I will help 5826 you, Surely 637 I will uphold 8551 you with My righteous 6664 right 3225 hand 3225.'
11 "Behold 2005, all 3605 those who are angered 2734 at you will be shamed 954 and dishonored 3637; Those 376 who 376 contend 7379 with you will be as nothing 369 and will perish 6.
12 "You will seek 1245 those 376 who 376 quarrel 4695 with you, but will not find 4672 them, Those 376 who 376 war 4421 with you will be as nothing 369 and non-existent 657.
13 "For I am the LORD 3068 your God 430, who upholds 2388 your right 3225 hand 3225, Who says 559 to you, 'Do not fear 3372, I will help 5826 you.'
14 "Do not fear 3372, you worm 8439 Jacob 3290, you men 4962 of Israel 3478; I will help 5826 you," declares 5002 the LORD 3068, "and your Redeemer 1350 is the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
15 "Behold 2009, I have made 7760 you a new 2319, sharp 2742 threshing 4173 sledge 4173 with double edges 6310; You will thresh 1758 the mountains 2022 and pulverize 1854 {them,} And will make 7760 the hills 1389 like chaff 4671.
16 "You will winnow 2219 them, and the wind 7307 will carry 5375 them away, And the storm 5591 will scatter 6327 them; But you will rejoice 1523 in the LORD 3068, You will glory 1984 in the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
17 ¶ "The afflicted 6041 and needy 34 are seeking 1245 water 4325, but there 369 is none 369, And their tongue 3956 is parched 5405 with thirst 6772; I, the LORD 3068, will answer 6030 them Myself, {As} the God 430 of Israel 3478 I will not forsake 5800 them.
18 "I will open 6605 rivers 5104 on the bare 8205 heights 8205 And springs 4599 in the midst 8432 of the valleys 1237; I will make 7760 the wilderness 4057 a pool 98 of water 4325 And the dry 6723 land 776 fountains 4161 of water 4325.
19 "I will put 5414 the cedar 730 in the wilderness 4057, The acacia 7848 and the myrtle 1918 and the olive 8081 tree 8410; I will place 7760 the juniper 1265 in the desert 6160 Together 3164 with the box 8410 tree 8391 and the cypress 8391,
20 That they may see 7200 and recognize 3045, And consider 7760 and gain 7919 insight 7919 as well 3164, That the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 has done 6213 this 384, And the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478 has created 1254 it.
21 ¶ "Present 7126 your case 7379," the LORD 3068 says 559. "Bring 5066 forward 5066 your strong 6110 {arguments,}" The King 4428 of Jacob 3290 says 559.
22 Let them bring 5066 forth 5066 and declare 5046 to us what 834 is going to take 7136 place 7136; As for the former 7223 {events,} declare 5046 what 4100 they {were,} That we may consider 7760 them and know 3045 their outcome 319. Or 176 announce 8085 to us what is coming 935;
23 Declare 5046 the things 857 that are going to come 857 afterward 268, That we may know 3045 that you are gods 430; Indeed 637, do 3190 good 3190 or evil 7489, that we may anxiously look 8159 about us and fear 3372 together 3164.
24 Behold 2005, you are of no 369 account 369, And your work 6467 amounts to nothing 657; He who chooses 977 you is an abomination 8441.
25 ¶ "I have aroused 5782 one from the north 6828, and he has come 857; From the rising 4217 of the sun 8121 he will call 7121 on My name 8034; And he will come 935 upon rulers 5461 as {upon} mortar 2563, Even as the potter 3335 treads 7429 clay 2563."
26 Who 4310 has declared 5046 {this} from the beginning 7218, that we might know 3045? Or from former 6440 times 6440, that we may say 559, "{He is} right 6662!"? Surely 637 there 369 was no 369 one 369 who declared 5046, Surely 637 there 369 was no 369 one 369 who proclaimed 8085, Surely 637 there 369 was no 369 one 369 who heard 8085 your words 561.
27 "Formerly 7223 {I said} to Zion 6726, 'Behold 2009, here 2009 they are.' And to Jerusalem 3389, 'I will give 5414 a messenger 1319 of good news 1319.'
28 "But when I look 7200, there 369 is no 369 one 376, And there 369 is no 369 counselor 3289 among 4480 them Who, if I ask 7592, can give 7725 an answer 1697.
29 "Behold 2005, all 3605 of them are false 205; Their works 4639 are worthless 657, Their molten 5262 images 5262 are wind 7307 and emptiness 8414.

God's Promise concerning His Servant

"Behold 2005, My Servant 5650, whom I uphold 8551; My chosen 972 one {in whom} My soul 5315 delights 7521. I have put 5414 My Spirit 7307 upon Him; He will bring 3318 forth 3318 justice 4941 to the nations 1471.
2 "He will not cry 6817 out or raise 5375 {His voice,} Nor 3808 make 8085 His voice 6963 heard 8085 in the street 2351.
3 "A bruised 7533 reed 7070 He will not break 7665 And a dimly 3544 burning wick 6594 He will not extinguish 3518; He will faithfully 571 bring 3318 forth 3318 justice 4941.
4 "He will not be disheartened 3543 or crushed 7533 Until 5704 He has established 7760 justice 4941 in the earth 776; And the coastlands 339 will wait 3176 expectantly 3176 for His law 8451."
5 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 God 410 the LORD 3068, Who created 1254 the heavens 8064 and stretched 5186 them out, Who spread 7554 out the earth 776 and its offspring 6631, Who gives 5414 breath 5397 to the people 5971 on it And spirit 7307 to those who walk 1980 in it,
6 "I am the LORD 3068, I have called 7121 You in righteousness 6664, I will also hold 2388 You by the hand 3027 and watch 5341 over You, And I will appoint 5414 You as a covenant 1285 to the people 5971, As a light 216 to the nations 1471,
7 To open 6491 blind 5787 eyes 5869, To bring 3318 out prisoners 616 from the dungeon 4525 And those who dwell 3427 in darkness 2822 from the prison.
8 "I am the LORD 3068, that is My name 8034; I will not give 5414 My glory 3519 to another 312, Nor 3808 My praise 8416 to graven 6456 images 6456.
9 "Behold 2009, the former 7223 things 7223 have come 935 to pass 935, Now I declare 5046 new 2319 things 2319; Before 2962 they spring 6779 forth 6779 I proclaim 8085 {them} to you."
10 ¶ Sing 7891 to the LORD 3068 a new 2319 song 7892, {Sing} His praise 8416 from the end 7097 of the earth 776! You who go 3381 down 3381 to the sea 3220, and all 4393 that is in it. You islands 339, and those who dwell 3427 on them.
11 Let the wilderness 4057 and its cities 5892 lift 5375 up {their voices,} The settlements 2691 where Kedar 6938 inhabits 3427. Let the inhabitants 3427 of Sela 5553 sing 7442 aloud 7442, Let them shout 6681 for joy 6681 from the tops 7218 of the mountains 2022.
12 Let them give 7760 glory 3519 to the LORD 3068 And declare 5046 His praise 8416 in the coastlands 339.
13 The LORD 3068 will go 3318 forth 3318 like a warrior 1368, He will arouse 5782 {His} zeal 7068 like a man 376 of war 4421. He will utter 7321 a shout 7321, yes 637, He will raise 6873 a war 6873 cry 6873. He will prevail 1396 against 5921 His enemies 340.

The Blindness of the People

¶ "I have kept 2814 silent 2814 for a long 5769 time 5769, I have kept 2814 still 2790 and restrained 662 Myself. {Now} like a woman in labor 3205 I will groan 6463, I will both 3162 gasp 5395 and pant 7602.
15 "I will lay 2717 waste 2717 the mountains 2022 and hills 1389 And wither 3001 all 3605 their vegetation 6212; I will make 7760 the rivers 5104 into coastlands 339 And dry 3001 up the ponds 98.
16 "I will lead 1980 the blind 5787 by a way 1870 they do not know 3045, In paths 5410 they do not know 3045 I will guide 1869 them. I will make 7760 darkness 4285 into light 216 before 6440 them And rugged 4625 places 4625 into plains 4334. These 428 are the things 1697 I will do 6213, And I will not leave 5800 them undone 5800."
17 They will be turned 5472 back 268 {and} be utterly 954 put 954 to shame 954, Who trust 982 in idols 6459, Who say 559 to molten 4541 images 4541, "You are our gods 430."
18 ¶ Hear 8085, you deaf 2795! And look 5027, you blind 5787, that you may see 7200.
19 Who 4310 is blind 5787 but My servant 5650, Or so deaf 2795 as My messenger 4397 whom I send 7971? Who 4310 is so blind 5787 as he that is at peace 7999 {with Me,} Or so blind 5787 as the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068?
20 You have seen 7200 many 7227 things 7227, but you do not observe 8104 {them;} {Your} ears 241 are open 6491, but none 3808 hears 8085.
21 The LORD 3068 was pleased 2654 for His righteousness' 6664 sake 4616 To make 1431 the law 8451 great 1431 and glorious 142.
22 But this 1931 is a people 5971 plundered 962 and despoiled 8154; All 3605 of them are trapped 6351 in caves 2352, Or are hidden 2244 away in prisons 3608; They have become 1961 a prey 957 with none 369 to deliver 5337 {them,} And a spoil 4933, with none 369 to say 559, "Give 7725 {them} back 7725!"
23 ¶ Who 4310 among you will give 238 ear 238 to this 384? Who will give 7181 heed 7181 and listen 8085 hereafter 268?
24 Who 4310 gave 5414 Jacob 3290 up for spoil 4933, and Israel 3478 to plunderers 962? Was it not the LORD 3068, against whom 2098 we have sinned 2398, And in whose ways 1870 they were not willing 14 to walk 1980, And whose law 8451 they did not obey 8085?
25 So He poured 8210 out on him the heat 2534 of His anger 639 And the fierceness 5807 of battle 4421; And it set 3857 him aflame 3857 all around 5439, Yet he did not recognize 3045 {it;} And it burned 1197 him, but he paid 7760 no 3808 attention.

Israel Redeemed

But now 6258, thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, your Creator 1254, O Jacob 3290, And He who formed 3335 you, O Israel 3478, "Do not fear 3372, for I have redeemed 1350 you; I have called 7121 you by name 8034; you are Mine!
2 "When 3588 you pass 5674 through the waters 4325, I will be with you; And through the rivers 5104, they will not overflow 7857 you. When 3588 you walk 1980 through 1119 the fire 784, you will not be scorched 3554, Nor 3808 will the flame 3852 burn 1197 you.
3 "For I am the LORD 3068 your God 430, The Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, your Savior 3467; I have given 5414 Egypt 4714 as your ransom 3724, Cush 3568 and Seba 5434 in your place 8478.
4 "Since you are precious 3365 in My sight 5869, {Since} you are honored 3513 and I love 157 you, I will give 5414 {other} men 120 in your place 8478 and {other} peoples 3816 in exchange 8478 for your life 5315.
5 "Do not fear 3372, for I am with you; I will bring 935 your offspring 2233 from the east 4217, And gather 6908 you from the west 4628.
6 "I will say 559 to the north 6828, 'Give 5414 {them} up!' And to the south 8486, 'Do not hold 3607 {them} back 3607.' Bring 935 My sons 1121 from afar 7350 And My daughters 1323 from the ends 7097 of the earth 776,
7 Everyone 3605 who is called 7121 by My name 8034, And whom I have created 1254 for My glory 3519, Whom I have formed 3335, even 637 whom I have made 6213."

Israel Is God's Witness

¶ Bring 3318 out the people 5971 who 5787 are blind 5787, even though they have 3426 eyes 5869, And the deaf 2795, even though they have ears 241.
9 All 3605 the nations 1471 have gathered 6908 together 3164 So that the peoples 3816 may be assembled 622. Who 4310 among them can declare 5046 this 384 And proclaim 8085 to us the former 7223 things 7223? Let them present 5414 their witnesses 5707 that they may be justified 6663, Or let them hear 8085 and say 559, "It is true 571."
10 "You are My witnesses 5707," declares 5002 the LORD 3068, "And My servant 5650 whom 834 I have chosen 977, So that you may know 3045 and believe 539 Me And understand 995 that I am He. Before 6440 Me there was no 3808 God 410 formed 3335, And there will be none 3808 after 310 Me.
11 "I, even I, am the LORD 3068, And there 369 is no 369 savior 3467 besides Me.
12 "It is I who have declared 5046 and saved 3467 and proclaimed 8085, And there 369 was no 369 strange 2114 {god} among you; So you are My witnesses 5707," declares 5002 the LORD 3068, "And I am God 410.
13 "Even 1571 from eternity 3117 I am He, And there 369 is none 369 who can deliver 5337 out of My hand 3027; I act 6466 and who 4310 can reverse 7725 it?"

Babylon to Be Destroyed

¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 your Redeemer 1350, the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, "For your sake 4616 I have sent 7971 to Babylon 894, And will bring 3381 them all 3605 down 3381 as fugitives 1281, Even the Chaldeans 3778, into the ships 591 in which they rejoice 7440.
15 "I am the LORD 3068, your Holy 6918 One 6918, The Creator 1254 of Israel 3478, your King 4428."
16 Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, Who makes 5414 a way 1870 through the sea 3220 And a path 5410 through the mighty 5794 waters 4325,
17 Who brings 3318 forth 3318 the chariot 7393 and the horse 5483, The army 2428 and the mighty 5808 man 5808 (They will lie 7901 down 7901 together 3164 {and} not rise 6965 again; They have been quenched 3518 {and} extinguished 3518 like a wick 6594):
18 "Do not call 2142 to mind 2142 the former 7223 things 7223, Or ponder 995 things 6931 of the past 6931.
19 "Behold 2009, I will do 6213 something 2319 new 2319, Now 6258 it will spring 6779 forth 6779; Will you not be aware 3045 of it? I will even 637 make 7760 a roadway 1870 in the wilderness 4057, Rivers 5104 in the desert 3452.
20 "The beasts 2421 of the field 7704 will glorify 3513 Me, The jackals 8565 and the ostriches 3284, Because 3588 I have given 5414 waters 4325 in the wilderness 4057 And rivers 5104 in the desert 3452, To give 8248 drink 8248 to My chosen 972 people 5971.
21 "The people 5971 whom 2098 I formed 3335 for Myself Will declare 5608 My praise 8416.
22

The Shortcomings of Israel

¶ "Yet you have not called 7121 on Me, O Jacob 3290; But you have become 3021 weary 3021 of Me, O Israel 3478.
23 "You have not brought 935 to Me the sheep 7716 of your burnt 5930 offerings 5930, Nor 3808 have you honored 3513 Me with your sacrifices 2077. I have not burdened 5647 you with offerings 4503, Nor 3808 wearied 3021 you with incense 3828.
24 "You have bought 7069 Me not sweet 7070 cane 7070 with money 3701, Nor 3808 have you filled 7301 Me with the fat 2459 of your sacrifices 2077; Rather 389 you have burdened 5647 Me with your sins 2403, You have wearied 3021 Me with your iniquities 5771.
25 ¶ "I, even I, am the one who wipes 4229 out your transgressions 6588 for My own sake 4616, And I will not remember 2142 your sins 2403.
26 "Put 2142 Me in remembrance 2142, let us argue 8199 our case 8199 together 3162; State 5608 your {cause,} that you may be proved 6663 right 6663.
27 "Your first 7223 forefather 1 sinned 2398, And your spokesmen 3917 have transgressed 6586 against Me.
28 "So I will pollute 2490 the princes 8269 of the sanctuary 6944, And I will consign 5414 Jacob 3290 to the ban 2764 and Israel 3478 to revilement 1421.

The Blessings of Israel

"But now 6258 listen 8085, O Jacob 3290, My servant 5650, And Israel 3478, whom I have chosen 977:
2 Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 who made 6213 you And formed 3335 you from the womb 990, who will help 5826 you, 'Do not fear 3372, O Jacob 3290 My servant 5650; And you Jeshurun 3484 whom I have chosen 977.
3 'For I will pour 3332 out water 4325 on the thirsty 6771 {land} And streams 5140 on the dry 3004 ground 3004; I will pour 3332 out My Spirit 7307 on your offspring 6631 And My blessing 1293 on your descendants 6631;
4 And they will spring 6779 up among 996 the grass 2682 Like poplars 6155 by streams 2988 of water 4325.'
5 "This 2088 one 2088 will say 559, 'I am the LORD'S 3068'; And that one 2088 will call 7121 on the name 8034 of Jacob 3290; And another 2088 will write 3789 {on} his hand 3027, 'Belonging to the LORD 3068,' And will name 3655 Israel's 3478 name 8034 with honor 3655.
6 ¶ "Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the King 4428 of Israel 3478 and his Redeemer 1350, the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635: 'I am the first 7223 and I am the last 314, And there 369 is no 369 God 430 besides Me.
7 'Who 4310 is like 3644 Me? Let him proclaim 7121 and declare 5046 it; Yes, let him recount 6186 it to Me in order 6186, From the time that I established 7760 the ancient 5769 nation 5971. And let them declare 5046 to them the things 857 that are coming 857 And the events that are going to take 935 place 935.
8 'Do not tremble 6342 and do not be afraid 3385; Have I not long 3975 since 3975 announced 8085 {it} to you and declared 5046 {it?} And you are My witnesses 5707. Is there 3426 any 3426 God 433 besides Me, Or is there 369 any {other} Rock 6697? I know 3045 of none 1077.'"

The Folly of Idolatry

¶ Those who fashion 3335 a graven 6459 image 6459 are all 3605 of them futile 8414, and their precious 2530 things 2530 are of no 1077 profit 3276; even their own witnesses 5707 fail 1077 to see 7200 or know 3045, so 4616 that they will be put 954 to shame 954.
10 Who 4310 has fashioned 3335 a god 410 or cast 5258 an idol 6459 to no 1115 profit 3276?
11 Behold 2005, all 3605 his companions 2270 will be put 954 to shame 954, for the craftsmen 2796 themselves 1992 are mere 4480 men 120. Let them all 3605 assemble 6908 themselves, let them stand 5975 up, let them tremble 6342, let them together 3162 be put 954 to shame 954.
12 ¶ The man shapes 2796 iron 1270 into a cutting 4621 tool 4621 and does 6466 his work 6466 over the coals 6352, fashioning 3335 it with hammers 4717 and working 6466 it with his strong 3581 arm 2220. He also 1571 gets 7456 hungry 7456 and his strength 3581 fails 369; he drinks 8354 no 3808 water 4325 and becomes 3286 weary 3286.
13 {Another} shapes 2796 wood 6086, he extends 5186 a measuring 6957 line 6957; he outlines 8388 it with red chalk 8279. He works 6213 it with planes 4741 and outlines 8388 it with a compass 4230, and makes 6213 it like the form 8403 of a man 376, like the beauty 8597 of man 120, so that it may sit 3427 in a house 1004.
14 Surely he cuts 3772 cedars 730 for himself, and takes 3947 a cypress 8645 or an oak 437 and raises 553 {it} for himself among the trees 6086 of the forest 3293. He plants 5193 a fir 766, and the rain 1653 makes 1431 it grow 1431.
15 Then it becomes 1961 {something} for a man 120 to burn 1197, so he takes 3947 one of them and warms 2552 himself; he also 637 makes 8026 a fire 8026 to bake 644 bread 3899. He also 637 makes 6466 a god 410 and worships 7812 it; he makes 6213 it a graven 6459 image 6459 and falls 5456 down 5456 before it.
16 Half 2677 of it he burns 8313 in the fire 784; over 5921 {this} half 2677 he eats 398 meat 1320 as he roasts 6740 a roast 6748 and is satisfied 7646. He also 637 warms 2552 himself and says 559, "Aha 1889! I am warm 2552, I have seen 7200 the fire 217."
17 But the rest 7611 of it he makes 6213 into a god 410, his graven 6459 image 6459. He falls 5456 down 5456 before it and worships 7812; he also prays 6419 to it and says 559, "Deliver 5337 me, for you are my god 410."
18 ¶ They do not know 3045, nor 3808 do they understand 995, for He has smeared 2911 over 2911 their eyes 5869 so 4480 that they cannot 4480 see 7200 and their hearts 3820 so 4480 that they cannot 4480 comprehend 7919.
19 No 3808 one recalls, nor 3808 is there knowledge 1847 or understanding 8394 to say 559, "I have burned 8313 half 2677 of it in the fire 784 and also 637 have baked 644 bread 3899 over 5921 its coals 1513. I roast 6740 meat 1320 and eat 398 {it.} Then I make 6213 the rest 3499 of it into an abomination 8441, I fall 5456 down 5456 before a block 944 of wood 6086!"
20 He feeds 7462 on ashes 665; a deceived 8524 heart 3820 has turned 5186 him aside 5186. And he cannot 3808 deliver 5337 himself 5315, nor 3808 say 559, "Is there not a lie 8267 in my right 3225 hand 3225?"
21

God Forgives and Redeems

¶ "Remember 2142 these 428 things 428, O Jacob 3290, And Israel 3478, for you are My servant 5650; I have formed 3335 you, you are My servant 5650, O Israel 3478, you will not be forgotten 5382 by Me.
22 "I have wiped 4229 out your transgressions 6588 like a thick 5645 cloud 5645 And your sins 2403 like a heavy 6051 mist 6051. Return 7725 to Me, for I have redeemed 1350 you."
23 Shout 7442 for joy 7442, O heavens 8064, for the LORD 3068 has done 6213 {it!} Shout 7321 joyfully 7321, you lower 8482 parts 8482 of the earth 776; Break 6476 forth 6476 into a shout 7440 of joy 7440, you mountains 2022, O forest 3293, and every 3605 tree 6086 in it; For the LORD 3068 has redeemed 1350 Jacob 3290 And in Israel 3478 He shows 6286 forth His glory 6286.
24 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, your Redeemer 1350, and the one who formed 3335 you from the womb 990, "I, the LORD 3068, am the maker 6213 of all 3605 things 3605, Stretching 5186 out the heavens 8064 by Myself 905 And spreading 7554 out the earth 776 all alone,
25 Causing the omens 226 of boasters 907 to fail 6565, Making 1984 fools 1984 out of diviners 7080, Causing wise 2450 men 2450 to draw 7725 back 268 And turning 7725 their knowledge 1847 into foolishness 5528,
26 Confirming 6965 the word 1697 of His servant 5650 And performing 7999 the purpose 6098 of His messengers 4397. {It is I} who says 559 of Jerusalem 3389, 'She shall be inhabited 3427!' And of the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, 'They shall be built 1129.' And I will raise 6965 up her ruins 2723 {again.}
27 "{It is I} who says 559 to the depth 6683 of the sea 6683, 'Be dried 2717 up!' And I will make 3001 your rivers 5104 dry 3001.
28 "{It is I} who says 559 of Cyrus 3566, '{He is} My shepherd 7462! And he will perform 7999 all 3605 My desire 2656.' And he declares 559 of Jerusalem 3389, 'She will be built 1129,' And of the temple 1964, 'Your foundation 3245 will be laid 3245.'"

God Uses Cyrus

Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 to Cyrus 3566 His anointed 4899, Whom 834 I have taken 2388 by the right 3225 hand 3225, To subdue 7286 nations 1471 before 6440 him And to loose 6605 the loins 4975 of kings 4428; To open 6605 doors 1817 before 6440 him so that gates 8179 will not be shut 5462:
2 "I will go 1980 before 6440 you and make 3474 the rough 1921 places 1921 smooth 3474; I will shatter 7665 the doors 1817 of bronze 5154 and cut 1438 through 1438 their iron 1270 bars 1280.
3 "I will give 5414 you the treasures 214 of darkness 2822 And hidden 4301 wealth 4301 of secret 4565 places 4565, So that you may know 3045 that it is I, The LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, who calls 7121 you by your name 8034.
4 "For the sake 4616 of Jacob 3290 My servant 5650, And Israel 3478 My chosen 972 {one,} I have also called 7121 you by your name 8034; I have given 3655 you a title 3655 of honor 3655 Though you have not known 3045 Me.
5 "I am the LORD 3068, and there 369 is no 369 other 5750; Besides 2108 Me there 369 is no 369 God 430. I will gird 247 you, though you have not known 3045 Me;
6 That men may know 3045 from the rising 4217 to the setting 4628 of the sun 8121 That there is no 657 one 657 besides 1107 Me. I am the LORD 3068, and there 369 is no 369 other 5750,
7 The One forming 3335 light 216 and creating 1254 darkness 2822, Causing 6213 well-being 7965 and creating 1254 calamity 7451; I am the LORD 3068 who does 6213 all 3605 these 428.

God's Supreme Power

¶ "Drip 7491 down 7491, O heavens 8064, from above 4605, And let the clouds 7834 pour 5140 down 5140 righteousness 6664; Let the earth 776 open 6605 up and salvation 3468 bear 6509 fruit 6509, And righteousness 6666 spring 6779 up with it. I, the LORD 3068, have created 1254 it.
9 ¶ "Woe 1945 to {the one} who quarrels 7378 with his Maker 3335-- An earthenware 2789 vessel 2789 among 854 the vessels 2789 of earth 127! Will the clay 2563 say 559 to the potter 3335, 'What 4100 are you doing 6213?' Or the thing 6467 you are making 6467 {say,} 'He has 369 no 369 hands 3027'?
10 "Woe 1945 to him who says 559 to a father 1, 'What 4100 are you begetting 3205?' Or to a woman 802, 'To what 4100 are you giving 2342 birth 2342?'"
11 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, and his Maker 3335: "Ask 7592 Me about 5921 the things 857 to come 857 concerning 5921 My sons 1121, And you shall commit 6680 to Me the work 6467 of My hands 3027.
12 "It is I who made 6213 the earth 776, and created 1254 man 120 upon it. I stretched 5186 out the heavens 8064 with My hands 3027 And I ordained 6680 all 3605 their host 6635.
13 "I have aroused 5782 him in righteousness 6664 And I will make 3474 all 3605 his ways 1870 smooth 3474; He will build 1129 My city 5892 and will let 7971 My exiles 1546 go 7971 free 7971, Without 3808 any payment 4242 or reward 7810," says 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
14 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "The products 3018 of Egypt 4714 and the merchandise 5504 of Cush 3568 And the Sabeans 5436, men 376 of stature 4060, Will come 5674 over 5674 to you and will be yours; They will walk 1980 behind 310 you, they will come 5674 over 5674 in chains 2203 And will bow 7812 down 7812 to you; They will make 6419 supplication 6419 to you: 'Surely 389, God 410 is with you, and there 369 is none 369 else 5750, No 657 other 657 God 430.'"
15 Truly 403, You are a God 410 who hides 5641 Himself, O God 430 of Israel 3478, Savior 3467!
16 They will be put 954 to shame 954 and even 1571 humiliated 3637, all 3605 of them; The manufacturers 2796 of idols 6736 will go 1980 away together 3164 in humiliation 3639.
17 Israel 3478 has been saved 3467 by the LORD 3068 With an everlasting 5769 salvation 8668; You will not be put 954 to shame 954 or humiliated 3637 To all 5703 eternity 5769.
18 ¶ For thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, who created 1254 the heavens 8064 (He is the God 430 who formed 3335 the earth 776 and made 6213 it, He established 3559 it {and} did not create 1254 it a waste 8414 place 8414, {but} formed 3335 it to be inhabited 3427), "I am the LORD 3068, and there 369 is none 369 else 5750.
19 "I have not spoken 1696 in secret 5643, In some 4725 dark 2822 land 776; I did not say 559 to the offspring 2233 of Jacob 3290, 'Seek 1245 Me in a waste 8414 place 8414'; I, the LORD 3068, speak 1696 righteousness 6664, Declaring 5046 things 4339 that are upright 4339.
20 ¶ "Gather 6908 yourselves and come 935; Draw 5066 near 5066 together 3164, you fugitives 6412 of the nations 1471; They have 3045 no 3808 knowledge 3045, Who carry 5375 about their wooden 6086 idol 6459 And pray 6419 to a god 410 who cannot 3808 save 3467.
21 "Declare 5046 and set 5066 forth 5066 {your case;} Indeed 637, let them consult 3289 together 3164. Who 4310 has announced 8085 this 384 from of old 6924? Who has long 3975 since 3975 declared 5046 it? Is it not I, the LORD 3068? And there 369 is no 369 other 5750 God 430 besides Me, A righteous 6662 God 410 and a Savior 3467; There 369 is none 369 except 2108 Me.
22 "Turn 6437 to Me and be saved 3467, all 3605 the ends 657 of the earth 776; For I am God 410, and there 369 is no 369 other 5750.
23 "I have sworn 7650 by Myself, The word 1697 has gone 3318 forth 3318 from My mouth 6310 in righteousness 6666 And will not turn 7725 back 7725, That to Me every 3605 knee 1290 will bow 3766, every 3605 tongue 3956 will swear 7650 {allegiance.}
24 "They will say 559 of Me, 'Only 389 in the LORD 3068 are righteousness 6666 and strength 5797.' Men will come 935 to Him, And all 3605 who were angry 2734 at Him will be put 954 to shame 954.
25 "In the LORD 3068 all 3605 the offspring 2233 of Israel 3478 Will be justified 6663 and will glory 1984."

Babylon's Idols and the True God

Bel 1078 has bowed 3766 down 3766, Nebo 5015 stoops 7164 over 7164; Their images 6091 are {consigned} to the beasts 2421 and the cattle 929. The things 5385 that you carry 5385 are burdensome 6006, A load 4853 for the weary 5889 {beast.}
2 They stooped 7164 over 7164, they have bowed 3766 down 3766 together 3164; They could 3201 not rescue 4422 the burden 4853, But have themselves 5315 gone 1980 into captivity 7628.
3 ¶ "Listen 8085 to Me, O house 1004 of Jacob 3290, And all 3605 the remnant 7611 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, You who have been borne 6006 by Me from birth 990 And have been carried 5375 from the womb 7358;
4 Even to {your} old 2209 age 2209 I will be the same 1931, And even 5704 to {your} graying 7872 years 7872 I will bear 5445 {you!} I have done 6213 {it,} and I will carry 5375 {you;} And I will bear 5445 {you} and I will deliver 4422 {you.}
5 ¶ "To whom 4310 would you liken 1819 Me And make 7737 Me equal 7737 and compare 4911 Me, That we would be alike 1819?
6 "Those who lavish 2107 gold 2091 from the purse 3599 And weigh 8254 silver 3701 on the scale 7070 Hire 7936 a goldsmith 6884, and he makes 6213 it {into} a god 410; They bow 5456 down 5456, indeed 637 they worship 7812 it.
7 "They lift 5375 it upon the shoulder 3802 {and} carry 5445 it; They set 5117 it in its place 8478 and it stands 5975 {there.} It does not move 4185 from its place 4725. Though 637 one may cry 6817 to it, it cannot 3808 answer 6030; It cannot 3808 deliver 3467 him from his distress 6869.
8 ¶ "Remember 2142 this 384, and be assured 847; Recall 7725 it to mind 3820, you transgressors 6586.
9 "Remember 2142 the former 7223 things 7223 long 5769 past 5769, For I am God 410, and there 369 is no 369 other 5750; {I am} God 430, and there is no 657 one 657 like 3644 Me,
10 Declaring 5046 the end 319 from the beginning 7225, And from ancient 6924 times 6924 things which 834 have not been done 6213, Saying 559, 'My purpose 6098 will be established 6965, And I will accomplish 6213 all 3605 My good 2656 pleasure 2656';
11 Calling 7121 a bird 5861 of prey 5861 from the east 4217, The man 376 of My purpose 6098 from a far 4801 country 776. Truly 637 I have spoken 1696; truly 637 I will bring 935 it to pass 935. I have planned 3335 {it, surely} I will do 6213 it.
12 ¶ "Listen 8085 to Me, you stubborn-minded, Who are far 7350 from righteousness 6666.
13 "I bring 7126 near 7126 My righteousness 6666, it is not far 7368 off; And My salvation 8668 will not delay 309. And I will grant 5414 salvation 8668 in Zion 6726, {And} My glory 8597 for Israel 3478.

Lament for Babylon

"Come 3381 down 3381 and sit 3427 in the dust 6083, O virgin 1330 daughter 1323 of Babylon 894; Sit 3427 on the ground 776 without 369 a throne 3678, O daughter 1323 of the Chaldeans 3778! For you shall no 3808 longer 3254 be called 7121 tender 7390 and delicate 6028.
2 "Take 3947 the millstones 7347 and grind 2912 meal 7058. Remove 1540 your veil 6777, strip 2834 off 2834 the skirt 7640, Uncover 1540 the leg 7785, cross 5674 the rivers 5104.
3 "Your nakedness 6172 will be uncovered 1540, Your shame 2781 also 1571 will be exposed 7200; I will take 3947 vengeance 5359 and will not spare 6293 a man 120."
4 Our Redeemer 1350, the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is His name 8034, The Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
5 "Sit 3427 silently 1748, and go 935 into darkness 2822, O daughter 1323 of the Chaldeans 3778, For you will no 3808 longer 3254 be called 7121 The queen 1404 of kingdoms 4467.
6 "I was angry 7107 with My people 5971, I profaned 2490 My heritage 5159 And gave 5414 them into your hand 3027. You did not show 7760 mercy 7356 to them, On the aged 2205 you made 3513 your yoke 5923 very 3966 heavy 3513.
7 "Yet you said 559, 'I will be a queen 1404 forever.' These 428 things 428 you did not consider Nor 3808 remember 2142 the outcome 319 of them.
8 ¶ "Now 6258, then, hear 8085 this 384, you sensual 5719 one 5719, Who dwells 3427 securely 983, Who says 559 in your heart 3824, 'I am, and there 657 is no 657 one 657 besides 5750 me. I will not sit 3427 as a widow 490, Nor 3808 know 3045 loss 7908 of children 7908.'
9 "But these 428 two 8147 things 8147 will come 935 on you suddenly 7281 in one 259 day 3117: Loss 7908 of children 7908 and widowhood 489. They will come 935 on you in full 8537 measure 8537 In spite of your many 7230 sorceries 3785, In spite of the great 3966 power 6109 of your spells 2267.
10 "You felt 982 secure 982 in your wickedness 7463 and said 559, 'No 369 one 369 sees 7200 me,' Your wisdom 2451 and your knowledge 1847, they have deluded 7725 you; For you have said 559 in your heart 3820, 'I am, and there 657 is no 657 one 657 besides 5750 me.'
11 "But evil 7463 will come 935 on you Which you will not know 3045 how to charm 7837 away 7837; And disaster 1943 will fall 5307 on you For which you cannot atone 3722; And destruction 7724 about which you do not know 3045 Will come 935 on you suddenly 6597.
12 ¶ "Stand 5975 {fast} now 4994 in your spells 2267 And in your many 7230 sorceries 3785 With which 834 you have labored 3021 from your youth 5271; Perhaps 194 you will be able 3201 to profit 3276, Perhaps 194 you may cause 6206 trembling 6206.
13 "You are wearied 3811 with your many 7230 counsels 6098; Let now 4994 the astrologers, Those who prophesy 2372 by the stars 3556, Those who predict 3045 by the new 2320 moons 2320, Stand 5975 up and save 3467 you from what 834 will come 935 upon you.
14 "Behold 2009, they have become 1961 like stubble 7179, Fire 784 burns 8313 them; They cannot 3808 deliver 5337 themselves 5315 from the power 3027 of the flame 3852; There 369 will be no 369 coal 1513 to warm 2552 by {Nor} a fire 217 to sit 3427 before 5048!
15 "So 3651 have those become 1961 to you with whom 834 you have labored 3021, Who have trafficked 5503 with you from your youth 5271; Each 376 has wandered 8582 in his own way 5676; There 369 is none 369 to save 3467 you.

Israel's Obstinacy

"Hear 8085 this 384, O house 1004 of Jacob 3290, who are named Israel 3478 And who came 3318 forth 3318 from the loins 4325 of Judah 3063, Who swear 7650 by the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 And invoke 2142 the God 430 of Israel 3478, {But} not in truth 571 nor 3808 in righteousness 6666.
2 "For they call 7121 themselves after 4480 the holy 6944 city 5892 And lean 5564 on the God 430 of Israel 3478; The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is His name 8034.
3 "I declared 5046 the former 7223 things 7223 long 3975 ago 3975 And they went 3318 forth 3318 from My mouth 6310, and I proclaimed 8085 them. Suddenly 6597 I acted 6213, and they came 935 to pass 935.
4 "Because 4480 I know 3045 that you are obstinate 7186, And your neck 6203 is an iron 1270 sinew 1517 And your forehead 4696 bronze 5154,
5 Therefore I declared 5046 {them} to you long 3975 ago 3975, Before 2962 they took 935 place 935 I proclaimed 8085 {them} to you, So that you would not say 559, 'My idol 6090 has done 6213 them, And my graven 6459 image 6459 and my molten 5262 image 5262 have commanded 6680 them.'
6 "You have heard 8085; look 2372 at all 3605 this. And you, will you not declare 5046 it? I proclaim 8085 to you new 2319 things 2319 from this 6258 time 6258, Even hidden 5341 things 5341 which you have not known 3045.
7 "They are created 1254 now 6258 and not long 3975 ago 3975; And before 6440 today 3117 you have not heard 8085 them, So that you will not say 559, 'Behold 2009, I knew 3045 them.'
8 "You have not heard 8085, you have not known 3045. Even 1571 from long 3975 ago 3975 your ear 241 has not been open 6605, Because 3588 I knew 3045 that you would deal 898 very 898 treacherously 898; And you have been called 7121 a rebel 6586 from birth 990.
9 "For the sake 4616 of My name 8034 I delay 748 My wrath 639, And {for} My praise 8416 I restrain 2413 {it} for you, In order not to cut 3772 you off 3772.
10 "Behold 2009, I have refined 6884 you, but not as silver 3701; I have tested 977 you in the furnace 3564 of affliction 6040.
11 "For My own sake 4616, for My own sake 4616, I will act 6213; For how 349 can {My name} be profaned 2490? And My glory 3519 I will not give 5414 to another 312.

Deliverance Promised

¶ "Listen 8085 to Me, O Jacob 3290, even Israel 3478 whom I called 7121; I am He, I am the first 7223, I am also 637 the last 314.
13 "Surely 637 My hand 3027 founded 3245 the earth 776, And My right 3225 hand 3225 spread 2946 out the heavens 8064; When I call 7121 to them, they stand 5975 together 3164.
14 "Assemble 6908, all 3605 of you, and listen 8085! Who 4310 among them has declared 5046 these 428 things 428? The LORD 3068 loves 157 him; he will carry 6213 out His good 2656 pleasure 2656 on Babylon 894, And His arm 2220 {will be against} the Chaldeans 3778.
15 "I, even I, have spoken 1696; indeed 637 I have called 7121 him, I have brought 935 him, and He will make 6743 his ways 1870 successful 6743.
16 "Come 7126 near 7126 to Me, listen 8085 to this 384: From the first 7218 I have not spoken 1696 in secret 5643, From the time 6256 it took 1961 place 1961, I was there 8033. And now 6258 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 has sent 7971 Me, and His Spirit 7307."
17 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, your Redeemer 1350, the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, "I am the LORD 3068 your God 430, who teaches 3925 you to profit 3276, Who leads 1869 you in the way 1870 you should go 1980.
18 "If 3863 only 3863 you had paid 7181 attention 7181 to My commandments 4687! Then your well-being 7965 would have been 1961 like a river 5104, And your righteousness 6666 like the waves 1530 of the sea 3220.
19 "Your descendants 2233 would have been 1961 like the sand 2344, And your offspring like its grains 4579; Their name 8034 would never 3808 be cut 3772 off 3772 or destroyed 8045 from My presence 6440."
20 ¶ Go 3318 forth 3318 from Babylon 894! Flee 1272 from the Chaldeans 3778! Declare 5046 with the sound 6963 of joyful 7440 shouting 7440, proclaim 8085 this 384, Send 3318 it out to the end 7097 of the earth 776; Say 559, "The LORD 3068 has redeemed 1350 His servant 5650 Jacob 3290."
21 They did not thirst 6770 when He led 1980 them through the deserts 2723. He made the water 4325 flow 5140 out of the rock 6697 for them; He split 1234 the rock 6697 and the water 4325 gushed 2100 forth.
22 "There 369 is no 369 peace 7965 for the wicked 7563," says 559 the LORD 3068.

Salvation Reaches to the End of the Earth

Listen 8085 to Me, O islands 339, And pay 7181 attention 7181, you peoples 3816 from afar 7350. The LORD 3068 called 7121 Me from the womb 990; From the body 4578 of My mother 517 He named Me.
2 He has made 7760 My mouth 6310 like a sharp 2299 sword 2719, In the shadow 6738 of His hand 3027 He has concealed 2244 Me; And He has also made 7760 Me a select 1305 arrow 2671, He has hidden 5641 Me in His quiver 827.
3 He said 559 to Me, "You are My Servant 5650, Israel 3478, In Whom 834 I will show 6286 My glory 6286."
4 But I said 559, "I have toiled 3021 in vain 7385, I have spent 3615 My strength 3581 for nothing 8414 and vanity 1892; Yet surely 403 the justice 4941 {due} to Me is with the LORD 3068, And My reward 6468 with My God 430."
5 ¶ And now 6258 says 559 the LORD 3068, who formed 3335 Me from the womb 990 to be His Servant 5650, To bring 7725 Jacob 3290 back 7725 to Him, so that Israel 3478 might be gathered 622 to Him (For I am honored 3513 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, And My God 430 is My strength 5797),
6 He says 559, "It is too 4480 small 7043 a thing 7043 that You should be My Servant 5650 To raise 6965 up the tribes 7626 of Jacob 3290 and to restore 7725 the preserved 5336 ones of Israel 3478; I will also make 5414 You a light 216 of the nations 1471 So that My salvation 3444 may reach 1961 to the end 7097 of the earth 776."
7 Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the Redeemer 1350 of Israel 3478 {and} its Holy 6918 One 6918, To the despised 960 One, To the One abhorred 8581 by the nation 1471, To the Servant 5650 of rulers 4910, "Kings 4428 will see 7200 and arise 6965, Princes 8269 will also bow 7812 down 7812, Because 4616 of the LORD 3068 who 834 is faithful 539, the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478 who has chosen 977 You."
8 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "In a favorable 7522 time 6256 I have answered 6030 You, And in a day 3117 of salvation 3444 I have helped 5826 You; And I will keep 5341 You and give 5414 You for a covenant 1285 of the people 5971, To restore 6965 the land 776, to make {them} inherit 5157 the desolate 8074 heritages 5159;
9 Saying 559 to those who are bound 631, 'Go 3318 forth 3318,' To those who 834 are in darkness 2822, 'Show 1540 yourselves.' Along 5921 the roads 1870 they will feed 7462, And their pasture 4830 {will be} on all 3605 bare 8205 heights 8205.
10 "They will not hunger 7456 or thirst 6770, Nor 3808 will the scorching 8273 heat 8273 or sun 8121 strike 5221 them down 5221; For He who has 7355 compassion 7355 on them will lead 5090 them And will guide 5095 them to springs 4002 of water 4325.
11 "I will make 7760 all 3605 My mountains 2022 a road 1870, And My highways 4546 will be raised 7311 up.
12 "Behold 2009, these 428 will come 935 from afar 7350; And lo 2009, these 428 {will come} from the north 6828 and from the west 3220, And these 428 from the land 776 of Sinim 5515."
13 Shout 7442 for joy 7442, O heavens 8064! And rejoice 1523, O earth 776! Break 6476 forth 6476 into joyful 7440 shouting 7440, O mountains 2022! For the LORD 3068 has comforted 5162 His people 5971 And will have 7355 compassion 7355 on His afflicted 6041.

Promise to Zion

¶ But Zion 6726 said 559, "The LORD 3068 has forsaken 5800 me, And the Lord 136 has forgotten 7911 me."
15 "Can a woman 802 forget 7911 her nursing 5764 child 5764 And have 7355 no 4480 compassion 7355 on the son 1121 of her womb 990? Even 1571 these 428 may forget 7911, but I will not forget 7911 you.
16 "Behold 2005, I have inscribed 2710 you on the palms 3709 {of My hands;} Your walls 2346 are continually 8548 before 5048 Me.
17 "Your builders 1121 hurry 4116; Your destroyers 2040 and devastators 2717 Will depart 3318 from you.
18 "Lift 5375 up your eyes 5869 and look 7200 around 5439; All 3605 of them gather 6908 together, they come 935 to you. As I live 2416," declares 5002 the LORD 3068, "You will surely 3588 put 3847 on all 3605 of them as jewels 5716 and bind 7194 them on as a bride 3618.
19 "For your waste 2723 and desolate 8074 places and your destroyed 2035 land 776-- Surely 3588 now 6258 you will be too 4480 cramped 6887 for the inhabitants 3427, And those who swallowed 1104 you will be far 7368 away.
20 "The children 1121 of whom you were bereaved 7923 will yet 5750 say 559 in your ears 241, 'The place 4725 is too cramped 6862 for me; Make 5066 room 5066 for me that I may live 3427 {here.}'
21 "Then you will say 559 in your heart 3824, 'Who 4310 has begotten 3205 these 428 for me, Since I have been 7921 bereaved 7909 of my children 7909 And am barren 1565, an exile 1540 and a wanderer 5493? And who 4310 has reared 1431 these 428? Behold 2005, I was left 7604 alone 905; From where 375 did these 428 come?'"
22 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, I will lift 5375 up My hand 3027 to the nations 1471 And set 7311 up My standard 5251 to the peoples 5971; And they will bring 935 your sons 1121 in {their} bosom 2684, And your daughters 1323 will be carried 5375 on {their} shoulders 3802.
23 "Kings 4428 will be your guardians 539, And their princesses 8282 your nurses 3243. They will bow 7812 down 7812 to you with their faces 639 to the earth 776 And lick 3897 the dust 6083 of your feet 7272; And {you} will know 3045 that I am the LORD 3068; Those who 834 hopefully 6960 wait 6960 for Me will not be put 954 to shame 954.
24 ¶ "Can the prey 4455 be taken 3947 from the mighty 1368 man 1368, Or 518 the captives 7628 of a tyrant be rescued 4422?"
25 Surely 3588, thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Even 1571 the captives 7628 of the mighty 1368 man 1368 will be taken 3947 away, And the prey 4455 of the tyrant 6184 will be rescued 4422; For I will contend 7378 with the one 3401 who 3401 contends 3401 with you, And I will save 3467 your sons 1121.
26 "I will feed 398 your oppressors 3238 with their own flesh 1320, And they will become 7937 drunk 7937 with their own blood 1818 as with sweet 6071 wine 6071; And all 3605 flesh 1320 will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, am your Savior 3467 And your Redeemer 1350, the Mighty 46 One 46 of Jacob 3290."

God Helps His Servant

Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Where 335 is the certificate 5612 of divorce 3748 By which 834 I have sent 7971 your mother 517 away 7971? Or 176 to whom 4310 of My creditors 5383 did I sell 4376 you? Behold 2005, you were sold 4376 for your iniquities 5771, And for your transgressions 6588 your mother 517 was sent 7971 away 7971.
2 "Why 4069 was there 369 no 369 man 376 when I came 935? When I called 7121, {why} was there 369 none 369 to answer 6030? Is My hand 3027 so 4480 short 7114 that it cannot 4480 ransom 6304? Or 518 have 369 I no 369 power 3581 to deliver 5337? Behold 2005, I dry 2717 up the sea 3220 with My rebuke 1606, I make 7760 the rivers 5104 a wilderness 4057; Their fish 1710 stink 887 for lack 369 of water 4325 And die 4191 of thirst 6772.
3 "I clothe 3847 the heavens 8064 with blackness 6940 And make 7760 sackcloth 8242 their covering 3682."
4 ¶ The Lord 136 GOD 3068 has given 5414 Me the tongue 3956 of disciples 3928, That I may know 3045 how to sustain 5790 the weary 3287 one 3287 with a word 1697. He awakens 5782 {Me} morning 1242 by morning 1242, He awakens 5782 My ear 241 to listen 8085 as a disciple 3928.
5 The Lord 136 GOD 3068 has opened 6605 My ear 241; And I was not disobedient 4784 Nor 3808 did I turn 5472 back 268.
6 I gave 5414 My back 1460 to those who strike 5221 {Me,} And My cheeks 3895 to those who pluck 4803 out the beard 4803; I did not cover 5641 My face 6440 from humiliation 3639 and spitting 7536.
7 For the Lord 136 GOD 3068 helps 5826 Me, Therefore, I am not disgraced 3637; Therefore, I have set 7760 My face 6440 like flint 2496, And I know 3045 that I will not be ashamed 954.
8 He who vindicates 6663 Me is near 7138; Who 4310 will contend 7378 with Me? Let us stand 5975 up to each 3162 other 3162; Who 4310 has a case against Me? Let him draw 5066 near 5066 to Me.
9 Behold 2005, the Lord 136 GOD 3068 helps 5826 Me; Who 4310 is he who condemns 7561 Me? Behold 2005, they will all 3605 wear 1086 out like a garment 899; The moth 6211 will eat 398 them.
10 Who 4310 is among you that fears 3372 the LORD 3068, That obeys 8085 the voice 6963 of His servant 5650, That walks 1980 in darkness 2825 and has 369 no 369 light 5051? Let him trust 982 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 and rely 8172 on his God 430.
11 Behold 2005, all 3605 you who kindle 6919 a fire 784, Who encircle 247 yourselves with firebrands 2131, Walk 1980 in the light 217 of your fire 784 And among the brands 2131 you have set 1197 ablaze 1197. This 384 you will have 1961 from My hand 3027: You will lie 7901 down 7901 in torment 4620.

Israel Exhorted

"Listen 8085 to me, you who pursue 7291 righteousness 6664, Who seek 1245 the LORD 3068: Look 5027 to the rock 6697 from which you were hewn 2672 And to the quarry from which you were dug 5365.
2 "Look 5027 to Abraham 85 your father 1 And to Sarah 8283 who gave 2342 birth 2342 to you in pain 2342; When 3588 {he} {was but} one 259 I called 7121 him, Then I blessed 1288 him and multiplied 7235 him."
3 Indeed 3588, the LORD 3068 will comfort 5162 Zion 6726; He will comfort 5162 all 3605 her waste 2723 places 2723. And her wilderness 4057 He will make 7760 like Eden 5731, And her desert 6160 like the garden 1588 of the LORD 3068; Joy 8342 and gladness 8057 will be found 4672 in her, Thanksgiving 8426 and sound 6963 of a melody 2172.
4 ¶ "Pay 7181 attention 7181 to Me, O My people 5971, And give 238 ear 238 to Me, O My nation 3816; For a law 8451 will go 3318 forth 3318 from Me, And I will set 7280 My justice 4941 for a light 216 of the peoples 5971.
5 "My righteousness 6664 is near 7138, My salvation 3468 has gone 3318 forth 3318, And My arms 2220 will judge 8199 the peoples 5971; The coastlands 339 will wait 6960 for Me, And for My arm 2220 they will wait 3176 expectantly 3176.
6 "Lift 5375 up your eyes 5869 to the sky 8064, Then look 5027 to the earth 776 beneath; For the sky 8064 will vanish 4414 like smoke 6227, And the earth 776 will wear 1086 out like a garment 899 And its inhabitants 3427 will die 4191 in like 3644 manner 3654; But My salvation 3444 will be forever 5769, And My righteousness 6666 will not wane 2865.
7 "Listen 8085 to Me, you who know 3045 righteousness 6664, A people 5971 in whose heart 3820 is My law 8451; Do not fear 3372 the reproach 2781 of man 582, Nor 408 be dismayed 2865 at their revilings 1421.
8 "For the moth 6211 will eat 398 them like a garment 899, And the grub 5580 will eat 398 them like wool 6785. But My righteousness 6666 will be forever 5769, And My salvation 3444 to all 1755 generations 1755."
9 ¶ Awake 5782, awake 5782, put 3847 on strength 5797, O arm 2220 of the LORD 3068; Awake 5782 as in the days 3117 of old 6924, the generations 1755 of long 5769 ago 5769. Was it not You who cut 2672 Rahab 7293 in pieces 2672, Who pierced 2490 the dragon 8577?
10 Was it not You who dried 2717 up the sea 3220, The waters 4325 of the great 7227 deep 8415; Who made 7760 the depths 4615 of the sea 3220 a pathway 1870 For the redeemed 1350 to cross 5674 over 5674?
11 So the ransomed 6299 of the LORD 3068 will return 7725 And come 935 with joyful 7440 shouting 7440 to Zion 6726, And everlasting 5769 joy 8057 {will be} on their heads 7218. They will obtain 5381 gladness 8342 and joy 8057, And sorrow 3015 and sighing 585 will flee 5127 away.
12 ¶ "I, even I, am He who comforts 5162 you. Who 4310 are you that you are afraid 3372 of man 582 who dies 4191 And of the son 1121 of man 120 who is made 5414 like grass 2682,
13 That you have forgotten 7911 the LORD 3068 your Maker 6213, Who stretched 5186 out the heavens 8064 And laid 3245 the foundations 3245 of the earth 776, That you fear 6342 continually 8548 all 3605 day 3117 long because of the fury 2534 of the oppressor 6693, As he makes 3559 ready 3559 to destroy 7843? But where 346 is the fury 2534 of the oppressor 6693?
14 "The exile 6808 will soon 4116 be set 6605 free 6605, and will not die 4191 in the dungeon 7845, nor 3808 will his bread 3899 be lacking 2637.
15 "For I am the LORD 3068 your God 430, who stirs 7280 up the sea 3220 and its waves 1530 roar 1993 (the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is His name 8034).
16 "I have put 7760 My words 1697 in your mouth 6310 and have covered 3680 you with the shadow 6738 of My hand 3027, to establish 5193 the heavens 8064, to found 3245 the earth 776, and to say 559 to Zion 6726, 'You are My people 5971.'"
17 ¶ Rouse 5782 yourself 5782! Rouse 5782 yourself 5782! Arise 6965, O Jerusalem 3389, You who 834 have drunk 8354 from the LORD'S 3068 hand 3027 the cup 3563 of His anger 2534; The chalice of reeling 8653 you have drained 4680 to the dregs 6907.
18 There 369 is none 369 to guide 5095 her among 4480 all 3605 the sons 1121 she has borne 3205, Nor 369 is there 369 one 369 to take 2388 her by the hand 3027 among 4480 all 3605 the sons 1121 she has reared 1431.
19 These 2007 two 8147 things 8147 have befallen 7122 you; Who 4310 will mourn 5110 for you? The devastation 7701 and destruction 7667, famine 7458 and sword 2719; How 4310 shall I comfort 5162 you?
20 Your sons 1121 have fainted 5968, They lie 7901 {helpless} at the head 7218 of every 3605 street 2351, Like an antelope 8377 in a net 4364, Full 4392 of the wrath 2534 of the LORD 3068, The rebuke 1606 of your God 430.
21 ¶ Therefore 3651, please 4994 hear 8085 this 384, you afflicted 6041, Who are drunk 7937, but not with wine 3196:
22 Thus 3541 says 559 your Lord 136, the LORD 3068, even your God 430 Who contends 7378 for His people 5971, "Behold 2009, I have taken 3947 out of your hand 3027 the cup 3563 of reeling 8653, The chalice of My anger 2534; You will never 3808 drink 8354 it again 3254.
23 "I will put 7760 it into the hand 3027 of your tormentors 3013, Who 834 have said 559 to you, 'Lie 7812 down 7812 that we may walk 5674 over 5674 {you.}' You have even made 7760 your back 1460 like the ground 776 And like the street 2351 for those who walk 5674 over 5674 {it.}"

Cheer for Prostrate Zion

Awake 5782, awake 5782, Clothe 3847 yourself 3847 in your strength 5797, O Zion 6726; Clothe 3847 yourself 3847 in your beautiful 8597 garments 899, O Jerusalem 3389, the holy 6944 city 5892; For the uncircumcised 6189 and the unclean 2931 Will no 3808 longer come 935 into you.
2 Shake 5287 yourself from the dust 6083, rise 6965 up, O captive 7628 Jerusalem 3389; Loose 6605 yourself from the chains 4147 around your neck 6677, O captive 7628 daughter 1323 of Zion 6726.
3 ¶ For thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "You were sold 4376 for nothing 2600 and you will be redeemed 1350 without 3808 money 3701."
4 For thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "My people 5971 went 3381 down 3381 at the first 7223 into Egypt 4714 to reside 1481 there 8033; then the Assyrian 804 oppressed 6231 them without 657 cause 657.
5 "Now 6258 therefore, what 4100 do I have here 6311," declares 5002 the LORD 3068, "seeing that My people 5971 have been taken 3947 away without 2600 cause 2600?" {Again} the LORD 3068 declares 5002, "Those who rule 4910 over them howl 3213, and My name 8034 is continually 8548 blasphemed 5006 all 3605 day 3117 long.
6 "Therefore 3651 My people 5971 shall know 3045 My name 8034; therefore 3651 in that day 3117 I am the one who is speaking 1696, 'Here 2009 I am.'"
7 ¶ How 4100 lovely 4998 on the mountains 2022 Are the feet 7272 of him who brings 1319 good news 1319, Who announces 8085 peace 7965 And brings 1319 good news 1319 of happiness 2896, Who announces 8085 salvation 3444, {And} says 559 to Zion 6726, "Your God 430 reigns 4427!"
8 Listen 6963! Your watchmen 6822 lift 5375 up {their} voices 6963, They shout 7442 joyfully 7442 together 3164; For they will see 7200 with their own 5869 eyes 5869 When the LORD 3068 restores 7725 Zion 6726.
9 Break 6476 forth 6476, shout 7442 joyfully 7442 together 3164, You waste 2723 places 2723 of Jerusalem 3389; For the LORD 3068 has comforted 5162 His people 5971, He has redeemed 1350 Jerusalem 3389.
10 The LORD 3068 has bared 2834 His holy 6944 arm 2220 In the sight 5869 of all 3605 the nations 1471, That all 3605 the ends 657 of the earth 776 may see 7200 The salvation 3444 of our God 430.
11 ¶ Depart 5493, depart 5493, go 3318 out from there 8033, Touch 5060 nothing 408 unclean 2931; Go 3318 out of the midst 8432 of her, purify 1305 yourselves, You who carry 5375 the vessels 3627 of the LORD 3068.
12 But you will not go 3318 out in haste 2649, Nor 3808 will you go 1980 as fugitives 4499; For the LORD 3068 will go 1980 before 6440 you, And the God 430 of Israel 3478 {will be} your rear 622 guard 622.

The Exalted Servant

¶ Behold 2009, My servant 5650 will prosper 7919, He will be high 7311 and lifted 5375 up and greatly 3966 exalted 1361.
14 Just 3512 as many 7227 were astonished 8074 at you, {My people,} So 3651 His appearance 4758 was marred 4893 more 4480 than 4480 any 376 man 376 And His form 8389 more 4480 than 4480 the sons 1121 of men 120.
15 Thus 3651 He will sprinkle 5137 many 7227 nations 1471, Kings 4428 will shut 7092 their mouths 6310 on account 5921 of Him; For what 834 had not been told 5608 them they will see 7200, And what 834 they had not heard 8085 they will understand 995.

The Suffering Servant

Who 4310 has believed 539 our message 8052? And to whom 4310 has the arm 2220 of the LORD 3068 been revealed 1540?
2 For He grew 5927 up before 6440 Him like a tender 3126 shoot 3126, And like a root 8328 out of parched 6723 ground 776; He has no 3808 {stately} form 8389 or majesty 1926 That we should look 7200 upon Him, Nor 3808 appearance 4758 that we should be attracted 2530 to Him.
3 He was despised 959 and forsaken 2310 of men 376, A man 376 of sorrows 4341 and acquainted 3045 with grief 2483; And like one from whom men hide 4564 their face 6440 He was despised 959, and we did not esteem 2803 Him.
4 ¶ Surely 403 our griefs 2483 He Himself 1931 bore 5375, And our sorrows 4341 He carried 5445; Yet we ourselves 587 esteemed 2803 Him stricken 5060, Smitten 5221 of God 430, and afflicted 6031.
5 But He was pierced 2490 through 2490 for our transgressions 6588, He was crushed 1792 for our iniquities 5771; The chastening 4148 for our well-being 7965 {fell} upon Him, And by His scourging 2250 we are healed 7495.
6 All 3605 of us like sheep 6629 have gone 8582 astray 8582, Each 376 of us has turned 6437 to his own way 1870; But the LORD 3068 has caused the iniquity 5771 of us all 3605 To fall 6293 on Him.
7 ¶ He was oppressed 5065 and He was afflicted 6031, Yet He did not open 6605 His mouth 6310; Like a lamb 7716 that is led 2986 to slaughter 2874, And like a sheep 7353 that is silent 481 before 6440 its shearers 1494, So He did not open 6605 His mouth 6310.
8 By oppression 6115 and judgment 4941 He was taken 3947 away; And as for His generation 1755, who 4310 considered 7878 That He was cut 1504 off 1504 out of the land 776 of the living 2416 For the transgression 6588 of my people 5971, to whom the stroke 5061 {was due?}
9 His grave 6913 was assigned 5414 with wicked 7563 men 7563, Yet He was with a rich 6223 man 6223 in His death 4194, Because 5921 He had done 6213 no 3808 violence 2555, Nor 3808 was there any deceit 4820 in His mouth 6310.
10 ¶ But the LORD 3068 was pleased 2654 To crush 1792 Him, putting 2470 {Him} to grief 2470; If 518 He would render 7760 Himself 5315 {as} a guilt 817 offering 817, He will see 7200 {His} offspring 2233, He will prolong 748 {His} days 3117, And the good 2656 pleasure 2656 of the LORD 3068 will prosper 6743 in His hand 3027.
11 As a result 4480 of the anguish 5999 of His soul 5315, He will see 7200 {it and} be satisfied 7646; By His knowledge 1847 the Righteous 6662 One 6662, My Servant 5650, will justify 6663 the many 7227, As He will bear 5445 their iniquities 5771.
12 Therefore 3651, I will allot 2505 Him a portion 2505 with the great 7227, And He will divide 2505 the booty 7998 with the strong 6099; Because He poured 6168 out Himself 5315 to death 4194, And was numbered 4487 with the transgressors 6586; Yet He Himself 1931 bore 5375 the sin 2399 of many 7227, And interceded 6293 for the transgressors 6586.

The Fertility of Zion

"Shout 7442 for joy 7442, O barren 6135 one 6135, you who have borne 3205 no 3808 {child;} Break 6476 forth 6476 into joyful 7440 shouting 7440 and cry 6670 aloud 6670, you who have not travailed 2342; For the sons 1121 of the desolate 8074 one {will be} more 4480 numerous 7227 Than 4480 the sons 1121 of the married 1166 woman," says 559 the LORD 3068.
2 "Enlarge 7337 the place 4725 of your tent 168; Stretch 5186 out the curtains 3407 of your dwellings 4908, spare 2820 not; Lengthen 748 your cords 4340 And strengthen 2388 your pegs 3489.
3 "For you will spread 6555 abroad 6555 to the right 3225 and to the left 8040. And your descendants 2233 will possess 3423 nations 1471 And will resettle 3427 the desolate 8074 cities 5892.
4 ¶ "Fear 3372 not, for you will not be put 954 to shame 954; And do not feel 3637 humiliated 3637, for you will not be disgraced 2659; But you will forget 7911 the shame 1322 of your youth 5934, And the reproach 2781 of your widowhood 491 you will remember 2142 no 3808 more 5750.
5 "For your husband 1166 is your Maker 6213, Whose name 8034 is the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; And your Redeemer 1350 is the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, Who is called 7121 the God 430 of all 3605 the earth 776.
6 "For the LORD 3068 has called 7121 you, Like a wife 802 forsaken 5800 and grieved 6087 in spirit 7307, Even like a wife 802 of {one's} youth 5271 when 3588 she is rejected 3988," Says 559 your God 430.
7 "For a brief 6996 moment 7281 I forsook 5800 you, But with great 1419 compassion 7356 I will gather 6908 you.
8 "In an outburst 7858 of anger 7110 I hid 5641 My face 6440 from you for a moment 7281, But with everlasting 5769 lovingkindness 2617 I will have 7355 compassion 7355 on you," Says 559 the LORD 3068 your Redeemer 1350.
9 ¶ "For this 384 is like the days 3117 of Noah 5146 to Me, When 834 I swore 7650 that the waters 4325 of Noah 5146 Would not flood 5674 the earth 776 again 5750; So 3651 I have sworn 7650 that I will not be angry 7107 with you Nor 4480 will I rebuke 1605 you.
10 "For the mountains 2022 may be removed 4185 and the hills 1389 may shake 4131, But My lovingkindness 2617 will not be removed 4185 from you, And My covenant 1285 of peace 7965 will not be shaken 4131," Says 559 the LORD 3068 who has 7355 compassion 7355 on you.
11 ¶ "O afflicted 6041 one 6041, storm-tossed 5590, {and} not comforted 5162, Behold 2009, I will set 7257 your stones 68 in antimony 6320, And your foundations 3245 I will lay 3245 in sapphires 5601.
12 "Moreover, I will make 7760 your battlements 8121 of rubies 3539, And your gates 8179 of crystal 688, And your entire 3605 wall 1366 of precious 2656 stones 68.
13 "All 3605 your sons 1121 will be taught 3928 of the LORD 3068; And the well-being 7965 of your sons 1121 will be great 7227.
14 "In righteousness 6666 you will be established 3559; You will be far 7368 from oppression 6233, for you will not fear 3372; And from terror 4288, for it will not come 7126 near 7126 you.
15 "If 2005 anyone fiercely 1481 assails 1481 {you} it will not be from Me. Whoever 4310 assails 1481 you will fall 5307 because 5921 of you.
16 "Behold 2005, I Myself 595 have created 1254 the smith 2796 who blows 5301 the fire 784 of coals 6352 And brings 3318 out a weapon 3627 for its work 4639; And I have created 1254 the destroyer 7843 to ruin 2254.
17 "No weapon 3627 that is formed 3335 against 5921 you will prosper 6743; And every 3605 tongue 3956 that accuses 6965 you in judgment 4941 you will condemn 7561. This 384 is the heritage 5159 of the servants 5650 of the LORD 3068, And their vindication 6666 is from Me," declares 5002 the LORD 3068.

The Free Offer of Mercy

"Ho 1945! Every 3605 one 3605 who thirsts 6771, come 1980 to the waters 4325; And you who 834 have 369 no 369 money 3701 come 1980, buy 7666 and eat 398. Come 1980, buy 7666 wine 3196 and milk 2461 Without 3808 money 3701 and without 3808 cost 4242.
2 "Why 4100 do you spend 8254 money 3701 for what is not bread 3899, And your wages 3018 for what 7654 does not satisfy 7654? Listen 8085 carefully 8085 to Me, and eat 398 what 2896 is good 2896, And delight 6026 yourself 5315 in abundance 1880.
3 "Incline 5186 your ear 241 and come 1980 to Me. Listen 8085, that you may live 2421; And I will make 3772 an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285 with you, {According to} the faithful 539 mercies 2617 shown to David 1732.
4 "Behold 2005, I have made 5414 him a witness 5707 to the peoples 3816, A leader 5057 and commander 6680 for the peoples 3816.
5 "Behold 2005, you will call 7121 a nation 1471 you do not know 3045, And a nation 1471 which knows 3045 you not will run 7323 to you, Because 4616 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, even the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478; For He has glorified 6286 you."
6 ¶ Seek 1875 the LORD 3068 while He may be found 4672; Call 7121 upon Him while He is near 7138.
7 Let the wicked 7563 forsake 5800 his way 1870 And the unrighteous 205 man 376 his thoughts 4284; And let him return 7725 to the LORD 3068, And He will have 7355 compassion 7355 on him, And to our God 430, For He will abundantly 7235 pardon 5545.
8 "For My thoughts 4284 are not your thoughts 4284, Nor 3808 are your ways 1870 My ways 1870," declares 5002 the LORD 3068.
9 "For {as} the heavens 8064 are higher 1361 than 4480 the earth 776, So 3651 are My ways 1870 higher 1361 than 4480 your ways 1870 And My thoughts 4284 than 4480 your thoughts 4284.
10 "For as the rain 1653 and the snow 7950 come 3381 down 3381 from heaven 8064, And do not return 7725 there 8033 without watering 7301 the earth 776 And making it bear 3205 and sprout 6779, And furnishing 5414 seed 2233 to the sower 2232 and bread 3899 to the eater 398;
11 So 3651 will My word 1697 be which 834 goes 3318 forth 3318 from My mouth 6310; It will not return 7725 to Me empty 7387, Without accomplishing 6213 what 834 I desire 2654, And without succeeding 6743 {in the matter} for which 834 I sent 7971 it.
12 "For you will go 3318 out with joy 8057 And be led 2986 forth 2986 with peace 7965; The mountains 2022 and the hills 1389 will break 6476 forth 6476 into shouts 7440 of joy 7440 before 6440 you, And all 3605 the trees 6086 of the field 7704 will clap 4222 {their} hands 3709.
13 "Instead 8478 of the thorn 5285 bush 5285 the cypress 1265 will come 5927 up, And instead 8478 of the nettle 5636 the myrtle 1918 will come 5927 up, And it will be a memorial 8034 to the LORD 3068, For an everlasting 5769 sign 226 which will not be cut 3772 off 3772."

Rewards for Obedience to God

Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Preserve 8104 justice 4941 and do 6213 righteousness 6666, For My salvation 3444 is about 7138 to come 935 And My righteousness 6666 to be revealed 1540.
2 "How blessed 835 is the man 582 who does 6213 this 384, And the son 1121 of man 120 who takes 2388 hold 2388 of it; Who keeps 8104 from profaning 2490 the sabbath 7676, And keeps 8104 his hand 3027 from doing 6213 any 3605 evil 7451."
3 Let not the foreigner who has joined 3867 himself to the LORD 3068 say 559, "The LORD 3068 will surely 914 separate 914 me from His people 5971." Nor 408 let the eunuch 5631 say 559, "Behold 2005, I am a dry 3002 tree 6086."
4 For thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "To the eunuchs 5631 who 834 keep 8104 My sabbaths 7676, And choose 977 what 834 pleases 2654 Me, And hold 2388 fast 2388 My covenant 1285,
5 To them I will give 5414 in My house 1004 and within My walls 2346 a memorial 3027, And a name 8034 better 2896 than 4480 that of sons 1121 and daughters 1323; I will give 5414 them an everlasting 5769 name 8034 which 834 will not be cut 3772 off 3772.
6 ¶ "Also the foreigners who join 3867 themselves to the LORD 3068, To minister 8334 to Him, and to love 157 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, To be His servants 5650, every 3605 one 3605 who keeps 8104 from profaning 2490 the sabbath 7676 And holds 2388 fast 2388 My covenant 1285;
7 Even those I will bring 935 to My holy 6944 mountain 2022 And make 8055 them joyful 8055 in My house 1004 of prayer 8605. Their burnt 5930 offerings 5930 and their sacrifices 2077 will be acceptable 7522 on My altar 4196; For My house 1004 will be called 7121 a house 1004 of prayer 8605 for all 3605 the peoples 5971."
8 The Lord 136 GOD 3068, who gathers 6908 the dispersed 5080 of Israel 3478, declares 5002, "Yet 5750 {others} I will gather 6908 to them, to those {already} gathered 6908."
9 ¶ All 3605 you beasts 2421 of the field 7706, All 3605 you beasts 2421 in the forest 3293, Come 857 to eat 398.
10 His watchmen 6822 are blind 5787, All 3605 of them know 3045 nothing 3808. All 3605 of them are mute 483 dogs 3611 unable to bark 5024, Dreamers 1957 lying 7901 down 7901, who love 157 to slumber 5123;
11 And the dogs 3611 are greedy, they are not satisfied. And they are shepherds 7462 who have 3045 no 3808 understanding 995; They have all 3605 turned 6437 to their own way 1870, Each 376 one 376 to his unjust 1215 gain 1215, to the last 7097 one 7097.
12 "Come 857," {they say,} "let us get 3947 wine 3196, and let us drink 7941 heavily 5433 of strong 7941 drink 5433; And tomorrow 4279 will be like today, only more so."

Evil Leaders Rebuked

The righteous 6662 man 6662 perishes 6, and no 369 man 376 takes 7760 it to heart 3820; And devout 2617 men 376 are taken 622 away 622, while no 369 one 369 understands 995. For the righteous 6662 man 6662 is taken 622 away 622 from evil 7463,
2 He enters 935 into peace 7965; They rest 5117 in their beds 4904, {Each one} who walked 1980 in his upright 5228 way 5228.
3 "But come 7126 here 2008, you sons 1121 of a sorceress 6049, Offspring 2233 of an adulterer 5003 and a prostitute 2181.
4 "Against 5921 whom 4310 do you jest 6026? Against 5921 whom 4310 do you open 7337 wide 7337 your mouth 6310 And stick 748 out your tongue 3956? Are you not children 3206 of rebellion 6588, Offspring 2233 of deceit 8267,
5 {Who} inflame 2552 yourselves among the oaks 352, Under 8478 every 3605 luxuriant 7488 tree 6086, Who slaughter 7819 the children 3206 in the ravines 5158, Under 8478 the clefts 5585 of the crags 5553?
6 "Among the smooth 2509 {stones} of the ravine 5158 Is your portion 2506, they are your lot 1486; Even 1571 to them you have poured 8210 out a drink 5262 offering 5262, You have made 5927 a grain offering 4503. Shall I relent 5162 concerning 5921 these 428 things 428?
7 "Upon a high 1364 and lofty 5375 mountain 2022 You have made 7760 your bed 4904. You also 1571 went 5927 up there 8033 to offer 2076 sacrifice 2077.
8 "Behind 310 the door 1817 and the doorpost 4201 You have set 7760 up your sign 2146; Indeed 3588, far removed 4480 from Me, you have uncovered 1540 yourself, And have gone 5927 up and made 7337 your bed 4904 wide 7337. And you have made 3772 an agreement for yourself with them, You have loved 157 their bed 4904, You have looked 2372 on {their} manhood 3027.
9 "You have journeyed 7788 to the king 4428 with oil 8081 And increased 7235 your perfumes 7547; You have sent 7971 your envoys 6735 a great distance 7350 And made {them} go 8213 down 8213 to Sheol 7585.
10 "You were tired 3021 out by the length 7230 of your road 1870, {Yet} you did not say 559, 'It is hopeless 2976.' You found 4672 renewed 2416 strength 3027, Therefore you did not faint 2470.
11 ¶ "Of whom 4310 were you worried 1672 and fearful 3372 When 3588 you lied 3576, and did not remember 2142 Me Nor 3808 give 7760 {Me} a thought 3820? Was I not silent 2814 even for a long 5769 time 5769 So you do not fear 3372 Me?
12 "I will declare 5046 your righteousness 6666 and your deeds 4639, But they will not profit 3276 you.
13 "When you cry 2199 out, let your collection 6899 {of idols} deliver 5337 you. But the wind 7307 will carry 5375 all 3605 of them up, {And} a breath 1892 will take 3947 {them away.} But he who takes 2620 refuge 2620 in Me will inherit 5157 the land 776 And will possess 3423 My holy 6944 mountain 2022."
14 ¶ And it will be said 559, "Build 5549 up, build 5549 up, prepare 6437 the way 1870, Remove 7311 {every} obstacle 4383 out of the way 1870 of My people 5971."
15 For thus 3541 says 559 the high 7311 and exalted 5375 One Who lives 7931 forever 5703, whose name 8034 is Holy 6918, "I dwell 7931 {on} a high 4791 and holy 6918 place, And {also} with the contrite 1793 and lowly 8217 of spirit 7307 In order to revive 2421 the spirit 7307 of the lowly 8217 And to revive 2421 the heart 3820 of the contrite 1792.
16 "For I will not contend 7378 forever 5769, Nor 3808 will I always 5331 be angry 7107; For the spirit 7307 would grow 5848 faint 5848 before Me, And the breath 5397 {of those whom} I have made 6213.
17 "Because of the iniquity 5771 of his unjust 1215 gain 1215 I was angry 7107 and struck 5221 him; I hid 5641 {My face} and was angry 7107, And he went 1980 on turning 7726 away 7726, in the way 1870 of his heart 3820.
18 "I have seen 7200 his ways 1870, but I will heal 7495 him; I will lead 5148 him and restore 7999 comfort 5150 to him and to his mourners 57,
19 Creating 1254 the praise 5108 of the lips 8193. Peace 7965, peace 7965 to him who is far 7350 and to him who is near 7138," Says 559 the LORD 3068, "and I will heal 7495 him."
20 But the wicked 7563 are like the tossing 1644 sea 3220, For it cannot be quiet 8252, And its waters 4325 toss 1644 up refuse 7516 and mud 2916.
21 "There 369 is no 369 peace 7965," says 559 my God 430, "for the wicked 7563."

Observances of Fasts

"Cry 7121 loudly 1627, do not hold 2820 back 2820; Raise 7311 your voice 6963 like a trumpet 7782, And declare 5046 to My people 5971 their transgression 6588 And to the house 1004 of Jacob 3290 their sins 2403.
2 "Yet they seek 1875 Me day 3117 by day 3117 and delight 2654 to know 1847 My ways 1870, As a nation 1471 that has done 6213 righteousness 6666 And has not forsaken 5800 the ordinance 4941 of their God 430. They ask 7592 Me {for} just 6664 decisions 4941, They delight 2654 in the nearness 7132 of God 430.
3 'Why 4100 have we fasted 6684 and You do not see 7200? {Why} have we humbled 6031 ourselves 5315 and You do not notice 3045?' Behold 2005, on the day 3117 of your fast 6685 you find 4672 {your} desire 2656, And drive 5065 hard 5065 all 3605 your workers 6092.
4 "Behold 2005, you fast 6684 for contention 7379 and strife 4683 and to strike 5221 with a wicked 7562 fist 106. You do not fast 6684 like {you do} today 3117 to make 8085 your voice 6963 heard 8085 on high 4791.
5 "Is it a fast 6685 like this 2088 which I choose 977, a day 3117 for a man 120 to humble 6031 himself 5315? Is it for bowing 3721 one's head 7218 like a reed 100 And for spreading 3331 out sackcloth 8242 and ashes 665 as a bed? Will you call 7121 this 2088 a fast 6685, even an acceptable 7522 day 3117 to the LORD 3068?
6 "Is this 2088 not the fast 6685 which I choose 977, To loosen 6605 the bonds 2784 of wickedness 7562, To undo 5425 the bands 92 of the yoke 4133, And to let 7971 the oppressed 7533 go 7971 free 2670 And break 5423 every 3605 yoke 4133?
7 "Is it not to divide 6536 your bread 3899 with the hungry 7457 And bring 935 the homeless 4788 poor 6041 into the house 1004; When 3588 you see 7200 the naked 6174, to cover 3680 him; And not to hide 5956 yourself from your own flesh 1320?
8 "Then 227 your light 216 will break 1234 out like the dawn 7837, And your recovery 724 will speedily 4120 spring 6779 forth 6779; And your righteousness 6664 will go 1980 before 6440 you; The glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 will be your rear 622 guard 622.
9 "Then 227 you will call 7121, and the LORD 3068 will answer 6030; You will cry 7768, and He will say 559, 'Here 2009 I am.' If 518 you remove 5493 the yoke 4133 from your midst 8432, The pointing 7971 of the finger 676 and speaking 1696 wickedness 205,
10 And if you give 6329 yourself 5315 to the hungry 7457 And satisfy 7646 the desire 5315 of the afflicted 6031, Then your light 216 will rise 2224 in darkness 2822 And your gloom 653 {will become} like midday 6672.
11 "And the LORD 3068 will continually 8548 guide 5148 you, And satisfy 7646 your desire 5315 in scorched 6710 places 6710, And give 2502 strength 2502 to your bones 6106; And you will be like a watered 7302 garden 1588, And like a spring 4161 of water 4325 whose 834 waters 4325 do not fail 3576.
12 "Those from among you will rebuild 1129 the ancient 5769 ruins 2723; You will raise 6965 up the age-old 1755 foundations 4144; And you will be called 7121 the repairer 1443 of the breach 6556, The restorer 7725 of the streets 5410 in which to dwell 3427.

Keeping the Sabbath

¶ "If 518 because 4480 of the sabbath 7676, you turn 7725 your foot 7272 From doing 6213 your {own} pleasure 2656 on My holy 6944 day 3117, And call 7121 the sabbath 7676 a delight 6027, the holy 6918 {day} of the LORD 3068 honorable 3513, And honor 3513 it, desisting 6213 from your {own} ways 1870, From seeking 4672 your {own} pleasure 2656 And speaking 1696 {your own} word 1697,
14 Then 227 you will take 6026 delight 6026 in the LORD 3068, And I will make you ride 7392 on the heights 1116 of the earth 776; And I will feed 398 you {with} the heritage 5159 of Jacob 3290 your father 1, For the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696."

Separation from God

Behold 2005, the LORD'S 3068 hand 3027 is not so 4480 short 7114 That it cannot 4480 save 3467; Nor 3808 is His ear 241 so 4480 dull 3513 That it cannot 4480 hear 8085.
2 But your iniquities 5771 have made 914 a separation 914 between 996 you and your God 430, And your sins 2403 have hidden 5641 {His} face 6440 from you so 4480 that He does not hear 8085.
3 For your hands 3709 are defiled 1351 with blood 1818 And your fingers 676 with iniquity 5771; Your lips 8193 have spoken 1696 falsehood 8267, Your tongue 3956 mutters 1897 wickedness 5767.
4 No 369 one 369 sues 7121 righteously 6664 and no 369 one 369 pleads 8199 honestly 530. They trust 982 in confusion 8414 and speak 1696 lies 7723; They conceive 2029 mischief 5999 and bring 3205 forth 3205 iniquity 205.
5 They hatch 1234 adders' 6848 eggs 1000 and weave 707 the spider's 5908 web 6980; He who eats 398 of their eggs 1000 dies 4191, And {from} that which is crushed 2115 a snake 660 breaks 1234 forth 1234.
6 Their webs 6980 will not become 1961 clothing 899, Nor 3808 will they cover 3680 themselves with their works 4639; Their works 4639 are works 4639 of iniquity 205, And an act 6467 of violence 2555 is in their hands 3709.
7 Their feet 7272 run 7323 to evil 7451, And they hasten 4116 to shed 8210 innocent 5355 blood 1818; Their thoughts 4284 are thoughts 4284 of iniquity 205, Devastation 7701 and destruction 7667 are in their highways 4546.
8 They do not know 3045 the way 1870 of peace 7965, And there 369 is no 369 justice 4941 in their tracks 4570; They have made 6140 their paths 5410 crooked 6140, Whoever 3605 treads 1869 on them does not know 3045 peace 7965.

A Confession of Wickedness

¶ Therefore justice 4941 is far 7368 from us, And righteousness 6666 does not overtake 5381 us; We hope 6960 for light 216, but behold 2009, darkness 2822, For brightness 5054, but we walk 1980 in gloom 653.
10 We grope 1659 along the wall 7023 like blind 5787 men 5787, We grope 1659 like those who have 369 no 369 eyes 5869; We stumble 3782 at midday 6672 as in the twilight 5399, Among those who 820 are vigorous 820 {we are} like dead 4191 men.
11 All 3605 of us growl 1993 like bears 1677, And moan 1897 sadly 1897 like doves 3123; We hope 6960 for justice 4941, but there 369 is none 369, For salvation 3444, {but} it is far 7368 from us.
12 For our transgressions 6588 are multiplied 7231 before 5048 You, And our sins 2403 testify 6030 against us; For our transgressions 6588 are with us, And we know 3045 our iniquities 5771:
13 Transgressing 6586 and denying 3584 the LORD 3068, And turning 5472 away 5472 from our God 430, Speaking 1696 oppression 6233 and revolt 5627, Conceiving 2029 {in} and uttering 1897 from the heart 3820 lying 8267 words 1697.
14 Justice 4941 is turned 5472 back 268, And righteousness 6666 stands 5975 far 7350 away 4480; For truth 571 has stumbled 3782 in the street 7339, And uprightness 5228 cannot enter 935.
15 Yes, truth 571 is lacking 5737; And he who turns 5493 aside 5493 from evil 7451 makes 7997 himself a prey 7997. Now the LORD 3068 saw 7200, And it was displeasing 7489 in His sight 5869 that there 369 was no 369 justice 4941.
16 And He saw 7200 that there 369 was no 369 man 376, And was astonished 8074 that there 369 was no 369 one 369 to intercede 6293; Then His own arm 2220 brought 3467 salvation 3467 to Him, And His righteousness 6666 upheld 5564 Him.
17 He put 3847 on righteousness 6666 like a breastplate 8302, And a helmet 3553 of salvation 3444 on His head 7218; And He put 3847 on garments 899 of vengeance 5359 for clothing 8516 And wrapped 5844 Himself with zeal 7068 as a mantle 4598.
18 According 5921 to {their} deeds 1578, so 5921 He will repay 7999, Wrath 2534 to His adversaries 6862, recompense 1576 to His enemies 340; To the coastlands 339 He will make 7999 recompense 1576.
19 So they will fear 3372 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 from the west 4628 And His glory 3519 from the rising 4217 of the sun 8121, For He will come 935 like a rushing 6862 stream 5104 Which the wind 7307 of the LORD 3068 drives 5127.
20 "A Redeemer 1350 will come 935 to Zion 6726, And to those who turn 7725 from transgression 6588 in Jacob 3290," declares 5002 the LORD 3068.
21 ¶ "As for Me, this 384 is My covenant 1285 with them," says 559 the LORD 3068: "My Spirit 7307 which 834 is upon you, and My words 1697 which 834 I have put 7760 in your mouth 6310 shall not depart 4185 from your mouth 6310, nor 3808 from the mouth 6310 of your offspring 2233, nor 3808 from the mouth 6310 of your offspring's 2233 offspring 2233," says 559 the LORD 3068, "from now 6258 and forever."

A Glorified Zion

"Arise 6965, shine 215; for your light 216 has come 935, And the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 has risen 2224 upon you.
2 "For behold 2009, darkness 2822 will cover 3680 the earth 776 And deep 6205 darkness 6205 the peoples 3816; But the LORD 3068 will rise 2224 upon you And His glory 3519 will appear 7200 upon you.
3 "Nations 1471 will come 1980 to your light 216, And kings 4428 to the brightness 5051 of your rising 2225.
4 ¶ "Lift 5375 up your eyes 5869 round 5439 about 5439 and see 7200; They all 3605 gather 6908 together, they come 935 to you. Your sons 1121 will come 935 from afar 7350, And your daughters 1323 will be carried 539 in the arms 6654.
5 "Then 227 you will see 7200 and be radiant 5102, And your heart 3824 will thrill 6342 and rejoice 7337; Because 3588 the abundance 1995 of the sea 3220 will be turned 2015 to you, The wealth 2428 of the nations 1471 will come 935 to you.
6 "A multitude 8229 of camels 1581 will cover 3680 you, The young 1072 camels 1072 of Midian 4080 and Ephah 5891; All 3605 those from Sheba 7614 will come 935; They will bring 5375 gold 2091 and frankincense 3828, And will bear 1319 good news 1319 of the praises 8416 of the LORD 3068.
7 "All 3605 the flocks 6629 of Kedar 6938 will be gathered 6908 together to you, The rams 352 of Nebaioth 5032 will minister 8334 to you; They will go 5927 up with acceptance 7522 on My altar 4196, And I shall glorify 6286 My glorious 8597 house 1004.
8 "Who 4310 are these 428 who fly 5774 like a cloud 5645 And like the doves 3123 to their lattices 699?
9 "Surely 3588 the coastlands 339 will wait 6960 for Me; And the ships 591 of Tarshish 8659 {will come} first 7223, To bring 935 your sons 1121 from afar 7350, Their silver 3701 and their gold 2091 with them, For the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, And for the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478 because 3588 He has glorified 6286 you.
10 ¶ "Foreigners 1121 will build 1129 up your walls 2346, And their kings 4428 will minister 8334 to you; For in My wrath 7110 I struck 5221 you, And in My favor 7522 I have had 7355 compassion 7355 on you.
11 "Your gates 8179 will be open 6605 continually 8548; They will not be closed 5462 day 3119 or night 3915, So that {men} may bring 935 to you the wealth 2428 of the nations 1471, With their kings 4428 led 5090 in procession 5090.
12 "For the nation 1471 and the kingdom 4467 which 834 will not serve 5647 you will perish 6, And the nations 1471 will be utterly 2717 ruined 2717.
13 "The glory 3519 of Lebanon 3844 will come 935 to you, The juniper 1265, the box 8410 tree 8410 and the cypress 8391 together 3164, To beautify 6286 the place 4725 of My sanctuary 4720; And I shall make 3513 the place 4725 of My feet 7272 glorious 3513.
14 "The sons 1121 of those who afflicted 6031 you will come 1980 bowing 7817 to you, And all 3605 those who despised 5006 you will bow 7812 themselves at the soles 3709 of your feet 7272; And they will call 7121 you the city 5892 of the LORD 3068, The Zion 6726 of the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.
15 ¶ "Whereas 8478 you have been 1961 forsaken 5800 and hated 8130 With no 369 one 369 passing 5674 through 5674, I will make 7760 you an everlasting 5769 pride 1347, A joy 4885 from generation 1755 to generation 1755.
16 "You will also suck 3243 the milk 2461 of nations 1471 And suck 3243 the breast 7699 of kings 4428; Then you will know 3045 that I, the LORD 3068, am your Savior 3467 And your Redeemer 1350, the Mighty 46 One 46 of Jacob 3290.
17 "Instead 8478 of bronze 5178 I will bring 935 gold 2091, And instead 8478 of iron 1270 I will bring 935 silver 3701, And instead 8478 of wood 6086, bronze 5178, And instead 8478 of stones 68, iron 1270. And I will make 7760 peace 7965 your administrators 6486 And righteousness 6666 your overseers 5065.
18 "Violence 2555 will not be heard 8085 again 5750 in your land 776, Nor 3808 devastation 7701 or destruction 7667 within your borders 1366; But you will call 7121 your walls 2346 salvation 3444, and your gates 8179 praise 8416.
19 "No 3808 longer 5750 will you have 1961 the sun 8121 for light 216 by day 3119, Nor 3808 for brightness 5051 will the moon 3394 give 215 you light 215; But you will have 1961 the LORD 3068 for an everlasting 5769 light 216, And your God 430 for your glory 8597.
20 "Your sun 8121 will no 3808 longer 5750 set 935, Nor 3808 will your moon 3394 wane 622; For you will have 1961 the LORD 3068 for an everlasting 5769 light 216, And the days 3117 of your mourning 60 will be over 7999.
21 "Then all 3605 your people 5971 {will be} righteous 6662; They will possess 3423 the land 776 forever 5769, The branch 5342 of My planting 4302, The work 4639 of My hands 3027, That I may be glorified 6286.
22 "The smallest 6996 one 6996 will become 1961 a clan 505, And the least 6810 one 6810 a mighty 6099 nation 1471. I, the LORD 3068, will hasten 2363 it in its time 6256."

Exaltation of the Afflicted

The Spirit 7307 of the Lord 136 GOD 3068 is upon me, Because 3282 the LORD 3068 has anointed 4886 me To bring 1319 good news 1319 to the afflicted 6035; He has sent 7971 me to bind 2280 up the brokenhearted, To proclaim 7121 liberty 1865 to captives 7617 And freedom 6495 to prisoners 631;
2 To proclaim 7121 the favorable 7522 year 8141 of the LORD 3068 And the day 3117 of vengeance 5359 of our God 430; To comfort 5162 all 3605 who mourn 57,
3 To grant 7760 those who mourn 57 {in} Zion 6726, Giving 5414 them a garland 6287 instead 8478 of ashes 665, The oil 8081 of gladness 8342 instead 8478 of mourning 60, The mantle 4594 of praise 8416 instead 8478 of a spirit 7307 of fainting 3544. So they will be called 7121 oaks 352 of righteousness 6664, The planting 4302 of the LORD 3068, that He may be glorified 6286.
4 ¶ Then they will rebuild 1129 the ancient 5769 ruins 2723, They will raise 6965 up the former 7223 devastations 8074; And they will repair 2318 the ruined 2721 cities 5892, The desolations 8074 of many 1755 generations 1755.
5 Strangers 2114 will stand 5975 and pasture 7462 your flocks 6629, And foreigners will be your farmers 406 and your vinedressers 3755.
6 But you will be called 7121 the priests 3548 of the LORD 3068; You will be spoken 7121 of {as} ministers 8334 of our God 430. You will eat 398 the wealth 2428 of nations 1471, And in their riches 3519 you will boast 3235.
7 Instead 8478 of your shame 1322 {you will have a} double 4932 {portion,} And {instead of} humiliation 3639 they will shout 7442 for joy 7442 over their portion 2506. Therefore 3651 they will possess 3423 a double 4932 {portion} in their land 776, Everlasting 5769 joy 8057 will be theirs 1992.
8 For I, the LORD 3068, love 157 justice 4941, I hate 8130 robbery 1498 in the burnt 5930 offering 5930; And I will faithfully 571 give 5414 them their recompense 6468 And make 3772 an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285 with them.
9 Then their offspring 2233 will be known 3045 among the nations 1471, And their descendants 6631 in the midst 8432 of the peoples 5971. All 3605 who see 7200 them will recognize 5234 them Because 3588 they are the offspring 2233 {whom} the LORD 3068 has blessed 1288.
10 ¶ I will rejoice 7797 greatly 7797 in the LORD 3068, My soul 5315 will exult 1523 in my God 430; For He has clothed 3847 me with garments 899 of salvation 3468, He has wrapped 5844 me with a robe 4598 of righteousness 6666, As a bridegroom 2860 decks 3547 himself with a garland 6287, And as a bride 3618 adorns 5710 herself with her jewels 3627.
11 For as the earth 776 brings 3318 forth 3318 its sprouts 6780, And as a garden 1593 causes the things 2221 sown 2221 in it to spring 6779 up, So 3651 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 will cause righteousness 6666 and praise 8416 To spring 6779 up before 5048 all 3605 the nations 1471.

Zion's Glory and New Name

For Zion's 6726 sake 4616 I will not keep 2814 silent 2814, And for Jerusalem's 3389 sake 4616 I will not keep 8252 quiet 8252, Until 5704 her righteousness 6664 goes 3318 forth 3318 like brightness 5051, And her salvation 3444 like a torch 3940 that is burning 1197.
2 The nations 1471 will see 7200 your righteousness 6664, And all 3605 kings 4428 your glory 3519; And you will be called 7121 by a new 2319 name 8034 Which 834 the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068 will designate 5344.
3 You will also be a crown 5850 of beauty 8597 in the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068, And a royal 4410 diadem 6797 in the hand 3709 of your God 430.
4 It will no 3808 longer 5750 be said 559 to you, "Forsaken 5800," Nor 3808 to your land 776 will it any 5750 longer 5750 be said 559, "Desolate 8077"; But you will be called 7121, "My delight 2656 is in her," And your land 776, "Married 1166"; For the LORD 3068 delights 2654 in you, And {to Him} your land 776 will be married 1166.
5 For {as} a young 970 man 970 marries 1166 a virgin 1330, {So} your sons 1121 will marry 1166 you; And {as} the bridegroom 2860 rejoices 4885 over 5921 the bride 3618, {So} your God 430 will rejoice 7797 over 5921 you.
6 ¶ On your walls 2346, O Jerusalem 3389, I have appointed 6485 watchmen 8104; All 3605 day 3117 and all 3605 night 3915 they will never 3808 keep 2814 silent 2814. You who remind 2142 the LORD 3068, take no 408 rest 1824 for yourselves;
7 And give 5414 Him no 408 rest 1824 until 5704 He establishes 3559 And makes 7760 Jerusalem 3389 a praise 8416 in the earth 776.
8 The LORD 3068 has sworn 7650 by His right 3225 hand 3225 and by His strong 5797 arm 2220, "I will never 518 again 5750 give 5414 your grain 1715 {as} food 3978 for your enemies 340; Nor 518 will foreigners drink 8354 your new 8492 wine 8492 for which 834 you have labored 3021."
9 But those who garner 622 it will eat 398 it and praise 1984 the LORD 3068; And those who gather 6908 it will drink 8354 it in the courts 2691 of My sanctuary 6944.
10 ¶ Go 5674 through 5674, go 5674 through 5674 the gates 8179, Clear 6437 the way 1870 for the people 5971; Build 5549 up, build 5549 up the highway 4546, Remove 5619 the stones 68, lift 7311 up a standard 5251 over 5921 the peoples 5971.
11 Behold 2009, the LORD 3068 has proclaimed 8085 to the end 7097 of the earth 776, Say 559 to the daughter 1323 of Zion 6726, "Lo 2009, your salvation 3468 comes 935; Behold 2009 His reward 7939 is with Him, and His recompense 6468 before 6440 Him."
12 And they will call 7121 them, "The holy 6944 people 5971, The redeemed 1350 of the LORD 3068"; And you will be called 7121, "Sought 1875 out, a city 5892 not forsaken 5800."

God's Vengeance on the Nations

Who 4310 is this 2088 who comes 935 from Edom 112, With garments 899 of glowing 2556 colors 2556 from Bozrah 1224, This 2088 One 2088 who is majestic 1921 in His apparel 3830, Marching 6808 in the greatness 7230 of His strength 3581? "It is I who speak 1696 in righteousness 6666, mighty 7227 to save 3467."
2 Why 4069 is Your apparel 3830 red 122, And Your garments 899 like the one who treads 1869 in the wine 1660 press 1660?
3 "I have trodden 1869 the wine 6333 trough 6333 alone 905, And from the peoples 5971 there 369 was no 369 man 376 with Me. I also trod 1869 them in My anger 639 And trampled 7429 them in My wrath 2534; And their lifeblood 5332 is sprinkled 5137 on My garments 899, And I stained 1351 all 3605 My raiment 4403.
4 "For the day 3117 of vengeance 5359 was in My heart 3820, And My year 8141 of redemption 1347 has come 935.
5 "I looked 5027, and there 369 was no 369 one 369 to help 5826, And I was astonished 8074 and there 369 was no 369 one 369 to uphold 5564; So My own arm 2220 brought 3467 salvation 3467 to Me, And My wrath 2534 upheld 5564 Me.
6 "I trod 947 down 947 the peoples 5971 in My anger 639 And made them drunk 7937 in My wrath 2534, And I poured 3381 out their lifeblood 5332 on the earth 776."

God's Ancient Mercies Recalled

¶ I shall make 2142 mention 2142 of the lovingkindnesses 2617 of the LORD 3068, the praises 8416 of the LORD 3068, According 5921 to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 has granted 1580 us, And the great 7227 goodness 2898 toward the house 1004 of Israel 3478, Which 834 He has granted 1580 them according to His compassion 7356 And according to the abundance 7230 of His lovingkindnesses 2617.
8 For He said 559, "Surely 389, they are My people 5971, Sons 1121 who will not deal 8266 falsely 8266." So He became 1961 their Savior 3467.
9 In all 3605 their affliction 6869 He was afflicted 6862, And the angel 4397 of His presence 6440 saved 3467 them; In His love 160 and in His mercy 2551 He redeemed 1350 them, And He lifted 5190 them and carried 5375 them all 3605 the days 3117 of old 5769.
10 But they rebelled 4784 And grieved 6087 His Holy 6944 Spirit 7307; Therefore He turned 2015 Himself to become their enemy 340, He fought 3898 against them.
11 Then His people 5971 remembered 2142 the days 3117 of old 5769, of Moses 4872. Where 346 is He who brought 5927 them up out of the sea 3220 with the shepherds 7462 of His flock 6629? Where 346 is He who put 7760 His Holy 6944 Spirit 7307 in the midst 7130 of them,
12 Who caused His glorious 8597 arm 2220 to go 1980 at the right 3225 hand 3225 of Moses 4872, Who divided 1234 the waters 4325 before them to make 6213 for Himself an everlasting 5769 name 8034,
13 Who led 1980 them through the depths 8415? Like the horse 5483 in the wilderness 4057, they did not stumble 3782;
14 As the cattle 929 which go 3381 down 3381 into the valley 1237, The Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 gave 5117 them rest 5117. So 3651 You led 5090 Your people 5971, To make 6213 for Yourself a glorious 8597 name 8034.

``You Are Our Father"

¶ Look 5027 down 5027 from heaven 8064 and see 7200 from Your holy 6944 and glorious 8597 habitation 2073; Where 346 are Your zeal 7068 and Your mighty 1369 deeds 1369? The stirrings 1995 of Your heart 4578 and Your compassion 7356 are restrained 662 toward 413 me.
16 For You are our Father 1, though 3588 Abraham 85 does not know 3045 us And Israel 3478 does not recognize 5234 us. You, O LORD 3068, are our Father 1, Our Redeemer 1350 from of old 5769 is Your name 8034.
17 Why 4100, O LORD 3068, do You cause us to stray 8582 from Your ways 1870 And harden 7188 our heart 3820 from fearing 3374 You? Return 7725 for the sake 4616 of Your servants 5650, the tribes 7626 of Your heritage 5159.
18 Your holy 6944 people 5971 possessed 3423 Your sanctuary 4720 for a little 4705 while 4705, Our adversaries 6862 have trodden 947 {it} down 947.
19 We have become 1961 {like} those over whom You have never ruled 4910, {Like} those who were not called 7121 by Your name 8034.

Prayer for Mercy and Help

Oh 3863, that You would rend 7167 the heavens 8064 {and} come 3381 down 3381, That the mountains 2022 might quake 2151 at Your presence 6440--
2 As fire 784 kindles 6919 the brushwood 2003, {as} fire 784 causes water 4325 to boil 1158-- To make 3045 Your name 8034 known 3045 to Your adversaries 6862, {That} the nations 1471 may tremble 7264 at Your presence 6440!
3 When You did 6213 awesome 3372 things 3372 which we did not expect 6960, You came 3381 down 3381, the mountains 2022 quaked 2151 at Your presence 6440.
4 For from days 5769 of old 5769 they have not heard 8085 or 3808 perceived 238 by ear 238, Nor 408 has the eye 5869 seen 7200 a God 430 besides 2108 You, Who acts 6213 in behalf of the one who waits 2442 for Him.
5 You meet 6293 him who rejoices 7797 in doing 6213 righteousness 6664, Who remembers 2142 You in Your ways 1870. Behold 2005, You were angry 7107, for we sinned 2398, {We continued} in them a long 5769 time 5769; And shall we be saved 3467?
6 For all 3605 of us have become 1961 like one who is unclean 2931, And all 3605 our righteous 6666 deeds 6666 are like a filthy 5713 garment 899; And all 3605 of us wither 5034 like a leaf 5929, And our iniquities 5771, like the wind 7307, take 5375 us away.
7 There 369 is no 369 one 369 who calls 7121 on Your name 8034, Who arouses 5782 himself to take 2388 hold 2388 of You; For You have hidden 5641 Your face 6440 from us And have delivered 4042 us into the power 3027 of our iniquities 5771.
8 ¶ But now 6258, O LORD 3068, You are our Father 1, We are the clay 2563, and You our potter 3335; And all 3605 of us are the work 4639 of Your hand 3027.
9 Do not be angry 7107 beyond 5704 measure 3966, O LORD 3068, Nor 1755 remember 2142 iniquity 5771 forever 5703; Behold 2005, look 5027 now 4994, all 3605 of us are Your people 5971.
10 Your holy 6944 cities 5892 have become 1961 a wilderness 4057, Zion 6726 has become 1961 a wilderness 4057, Jerusalem 3389 a desolation 8077.
11 Our holy 6944 and beautiful 8597 house 1004, Where 834 our fathers 1 praised 1984 You, Has been 1961 burned 8316 {by} fire 784; And all 3605 our precious 4261 things 4261 have become 1961 a ruin 2723.
12 Will You restrain 662 Yourself at these 428 things 428, O LORD 3068? Will You keep 2814 silent 2814 and afflict 6031 us beyond 5704 measure 3966?

A Rebellious People

"I permitted Myself to be sought 1875 by those who did not ask 7592 {for Me;} I permitted Myself to be found 4672 by those who did not seek 1245 Me. I said 559, 'Here 2009 am I, here 2009 am I,' To a nation 1471 which did not call 7121 on My name 8034.
2 "I have spread 6566 out My hands 3027 all 3605 day 3117 long to a rebellious 5637 people 5971, Who walk 1980 {in} the way 1870 which is not good 2896, following 310 their own thoughts 4284,
3 A people 5971 who continually 8548 provoke 3707 Me to My face 6440, Offering 2076 sacrifices 2076 in gardens 1593 and burning 6999 incense 6999 on bricks 3843;
4 Who sit 3427 among graves 6913 and spend 3885 the night 3885 in secret 5341 places 5341; Who eat 398 swine's 2386 flesh 1320, And the broth 4839 of unclean 6292 meat 6292 is {in} their pots 3627.
5 "Who say 559, 'Keep 7126 to yourself, do not come 5066 near 5066 me, For I am holier 6942 than you!' These 428 are smoke 6227 in My nostrils 639, A fire 784 that burns 3344 all 3605 the day 3117.
6 "Behold 2009, it is written 3789 before 6440 Me, I will not keep 2814 silent 2814, but I will repay 7999; I will even repay 7999 into their bosom 2436,
7 Both their own iniquities 5771 and the iniquities 5771 of their fathers 1 together 3164," says 559 the LORD 3068. "Because 834 they have burned 6999 incense 6999 on the mountains 2022 And scorned 2778 Me on the hills 1389, Therefore I will measure 4058 their former 7223 work 6468 into their bosom 2436."
8 ¶ Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "As the new 8492 wine 8492 is found 4672 in the cluster 811, And one says 559, 'Do not destroy 7843 it, for there is benefit 1293 in it,' So 3651 I will act 6213 on behalf 4616 of My servants 5650 In order not to destroy 7843 all 3605 of them.
9 "I will bring 3318 forth 3318 offspring 2233 from Jacob 3290, And an heir 3423 of My mountains 2022 from Judah 3063; Even My chosen 972 ones 972 shall inherit 3423 it, And My servants 5650 will dwell 7931 there 8033.
10 "Sharon 8289 will be a pasture 5116 land 5116 for flocks 6629, And the valley 6010 of Achor 5911 a resting 7258 place 7258 for herds 1241, For My people 5971 who 834 seek 1875 Me.
11 "But you who forsake 5800 the LORD 3068, Who 7913 forget 7913 My holy 6944 mountain 2022, Who 7913 set 6186 a table 7979 for Fortune 1409, And who fill 4390 {cups} with mixed 4469 wine 4469 for Destiny 4507,
12 I will destine 4487 you for the sword 2719, And all 3605 of you will bow 3766 down 3766 to the slaughter 2874. Because 3282 I called 7121, but you did not answer 6030; I spoke 1696, but you did not hear 8085. And you did 6213 evil 7451 in My sight 5869 And chose 977 that in which 834 I did not delight 2654."
13 ¶ Therefore 3651, thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, "Behold 2009, My servants 5650 will eat 398, but you will be hungry 7456. Behold 2009, My servants 5650 will drink 8354, but you will be thirsty 6770. Behold 2009, My servants 5650 will rejoice 8055, but you will be put 954 to shame 954.
14 "Behold 2009, My servants 5650 will shout 7442 joyfully 7442 with a glad 2898 heart 3820, But you will cry 6817 out with a heavy 3511 heart 3820, And you will wail 3213 with a broken 7665 spirit 7307.
15 "You will leave 5117 your name 8034 for a curse 7621 to My chosen 972 ones 972, And the Lord 136 GOD 3068 will slay 4191 you. But My servants 5650 will be called 7121 by another 312 name 8034.
16 "Because 834 he who is blessed 1288 in the earth 776 Will be blessed 1288 by the God 430 of truth 543; And he who swears 7650 in the earth 776 Will swear 7650 by the God 430 of truth 543; Because 3588 the former 7223 troubles 6869 are forgotten 7911, And because 3588 they are hidden 5641 from My sight 5869!
17

New Heavens and a New Earth

¶ "For behold 2009, I create 1254 new 2319 heavens 8064 and a new 2319 earth 776; And the former 7223 things 7223 will not be remembered 2142 or come 5927 to mind 3820.
18 "But be glad 7797 and rejoice 1523 forever 5703 in what 834 I create 1254; For behold 2009, I create 1254 Jerusalem 3389 {for} rejoicing 1525 And her people 5971 {for} gladness 4885.
19 "I will also rejoice 1523 in Jerusalem 3389 and be glad 7797 in My people 5971; And there will no 3808 longer 5750 be heard 8085 in her The voice 6963 of weeping 1065 and the sound 6963 of crying 2201.
20 "No 3808 longer 5750 will there be in it an infant 5764 {who lives but a few} days 3117, Or an old 2205 man 2205 who 834 does not live 4390 out his days 3117; For the youth 5288 will die 4191 at the age 1121 of one hundred 3967 And the one who does not reach 2398 the age 1121 of one hundred 3967 Will be {thought} accursed 7043.
21 "They will build 1129 houses 1004 and inhabit 3427 {them;} They will also plant 5193 vineyards 3754 and eat 398 their fruit 6529.
22 "They will not build 1129 and another 312 inhabit 3427, They will not plant 5193 and another 312 eat 398; For as the lifetime 3117 of a tree 6086, {so will be} the days 3117 of My people 5971, And My chosen 972 ones 972 will wear 1086 out the work 4639 of their hands 3027.
23 "They will not labor 3021 in vain 7385, Or bear 3205 {children} for calamity 928; For they are the offspring 2233 of those blessed 1288 by the LORD 3068, And their descendants 6631 with them.
24 "It will also come 1961 to pass 1961 that before 2962 they call 7121, I will answer 6030; and while they are still 5750 speaking 1696, I will hear 8085.
25 "The wolf 2061 and the lamb 2924 will graze 7462 together 259, and the lion 743 will eat 398 straw 8401 like the ox 1241; and dust 6083 will be the serpent's 5175 food 3899. They will do 7489 no 3808 evil 7489 or harm 7843 in all 3605 My holy 6944 mountain 2022," says 559 the LORD 3068.

Heaven Is God's Throne

Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Heaven 8064 is My throne 3678 and the earth 776 is My footstool. Where 335 then 2088 is a house 1004 you could build 1129 for Me? And where 335 is a place 4725 that I may rest 4496?
2 "For My hand 3027 made 6213 all 3605 these 428 things 428, Thus all 3605 these 428 things 428 came 1961 into being 1961," declares 5002 the LORD 3068. "But to this 2088 one 2088 I will look 5027, To him who 6041 is humble 6041 and contrite 5223 of spirit 7307, and who 2730 trembles 2730 at My word 1697.

Hypocrisy Rebuked

¶ "{But} he who kills 7819 an ox 7794 is {like} one who slays 5221 a man 376; He who sacrifices 2076 a lamb 7716 is {like} the one who breaks 6202 a dog's 3611 neck 6202; He who offers 5927 a grain offering 4503 {is like one who offers} swine's 2386 blood 1818; He who burns 2142 incense 3828 is {like} the one who blesses 1288 an idol 205. As they have chosen 977 their {own} ways 1870, And their soul 5315 delights 2654 in their abominations 8251,
4 So 1571 I will choose 977 their punishments 8586 And will bring 935 on them what 4034 they dread 4034. Because 3282 I called 7121, but no 369 one 369 answered 6030; I spoke 1696, but they did not listen 8085. And they did 6213 evil 7451 in My sight 5869 And chose 977 that in which 834 I did not delight 2654."
5 Hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, you who 2730 tremble 2730 at His word 1697: "Your brothers 251 who hate 8130 you, who exclude 5077 you for My name's 8034 sake 4616, Have said 559, 'Let the LORD 3068 be glorified 3513, that we may see 7200 your joy 8057.' But they will be put 954 to shame 954.
6 "A voice 6963 of uproar 7588 from the city 5892, a voice 6963 from the temple 1964, The voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 who is rendering 7999 recompense 1576 to His enemies 340.
7 ¶ "Before 2962 she travailed 2342, she brought 3205 forth 3205; Before 2962 her pain 2256 came 935, she gave 4422 birth 4422 to a boy 2145.
8 "Who 4310 has heard 8085 such 2088 a thing 2088? Who 4310 has seen 7200 such 428 things? Can a land 776 be born 2342 in one 259 day 3117? Can a nation 1471 be brought 3205 forth 3205 all 6471 at once? As soon 3588 as Zion 6726 travailed 2342, she also 1571 brought 3205 forth 3205 her sons 1121.
9 "Shall I bring 7665 to the point 7665 of birth 7665 and not give 3205 delivery 3205?" says 559 the LORD 3068. "Or 518 shall I who gives 3205 delivery 3205 shut 6113 {the womb?}" says 559 your God 430.
10

Joy in Jerusalem's Future

"Be joyful 8055 with Jerusalem 3389 and rejoice 1523 for her, all 3605 you who love 157 her; Be exceedingly 4885 glad 7797 with her, all 3605 you who mourn 56 over 5921 her,
11 That you may nurse 3243 and be satisfied 7646 with her comforting 8575 breasts 7699, That you may suck 4711 and be delighted 6026 with her bountiful 2123 bosom 3519."
12 For thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "Behold 2009, I extend 5186 peace 7965 to her like a river 5104, And the glory 3519 of the nations 1471 like an overflowing 7857 stream 5158; And you will be nursed 3243, you will be carried 5375 on the hip 6654 and fondled 8173 on the knees 1290.
13 "As one 376 whom 834 his mother 517 comforts 5162, so 3651 I will comfort 5162 you; And you will be comforted 5162 in Jerusalem 3389."
14 Then you will see 7200 {this,} and your heart 3820 will be glad 7797, And your bones 6106 will flourish 6524 like the new 1877 grass 1877; And the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 will be made 3045 known 3045 to His servants 5650, But He will be indignant 2194 toward 854 His enemies 340.
15 For behold 2009, the LORD 3068 will come 935 in fire 784 And His chariots 4818 like the whirlwind 5492, To render 7725 His anger 639 with fury 2534, And His rebuke 1606 with flames 3851 of fire 784.
16 For the LORD 3068 will execute 8199 judgment 8199 by fire 784 And by His sword 2719 on all 3605 flesh 1320, And those slain 2491 by the LORD 3068 will be many 7231.
17 "Those who sanctify 6942 and purify 2891 themselves {to go} to the gardens 1593, Following 310 one 259 in the center 8432, Who eat 398 swine's 2386 flesh 1320, detestable 8263 things 8263 and mice 5909, Will come 5486 to an end 5486 altogether 3164," declares 5002 the LORD 3068.
18 ¶ "For I know their works 4639 and their thoughts 4284; the time is coming 935 to gather 6908 all 3605 nations 1471 and tongues 3956. And they shall come 935 and see 7200 My glory 3519.
19 "I will set 7760 a sign 226 among them and will send 7971 survivors 6412 from them to the nations 1471: Tarshish 8659, Put 6316, Lud 3865, Meshech 4902, Tubal 8422 and Javan 3120, to the distant 7350 coastlands 339 that have neither 3808 heard 8085 My fame 8088 nor 3808 seen 7200 My glory 3519. And they will declare 5046 My glory 3519 among the nations 1471.
20 "Then they shall bring 935 all 3605 your brethren 251 from all 3605 the nations 1471 as a grain offering 4503 to the LORD 3068, on horses 5483, in chariots 7393, in litters 6632, on mules 6505 and on camels 3753, to My holy 6944 mountain 2022 Jerusalem 3389," says 559 the LORD 3068, "just 3512 as the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 bring 935 their grain offering 4503 in a clean 2889 vessel 3627 to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.
