17:5 Thy pomp[01347] is brought down[03381][8717] to the grave[07585], and the noise[01998] of thy viols[05035]: the worm[07415] is spread[03331][8714] under thee, and the worms[08438] cover[04374] thee.
17:6 How art thou fallen[05307][8804] from heaven[08064], O Lucifer[01966], son[01121] of the morning[07837][8676][03213][8685]! how art thou cut down[01438][8738] to the ground[0776], which didst weaken[02522][8802] the nations[01471]! O Lucifer: or, O day star

17:8 I will ascend[05927][8799] above the heights[01116] of the clouds[05645]; I will be like[01819][8691] the most High[05945].

17:10 They that see[07200][8802] thee shall narrowly look[07688][8686] upon thee, and consider[0995][8709] thee, saying, Is this the man[0376] that made the earth[0776] to tremble[07264][8688], that did shake[07493][8688] kingdoms[04467];
17:11 That made[07760][8804] the world[08398] as a wilderness[04057], and destroyed[02040][8804] the cities[05892] thereof; that opened[06605][8804] not the house[01004] of his prisoners[0615]? opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?

18:3 I will also make[07760][8804] it a possession[04180] for the bittern[07090], and pools[098] of water[04325]: and I will sweep[02894][8773] it with the besom[04292] of destruction[08045][8687], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635].

18:5 That I will break[07665][8800] the Assyrian[0804] in my land[0776], and upon my mountains[02022] tread him under foot[0947][8799]: then shall his yoke[05923] depart[05493][8804] from off them, and his burden[05448] depart[05493][8799] from off their shoulders[07926].

28:15 And the fortress[04013] of the high fort[04869] of thy walls[02346] shall he bring down[07817][8689], lay low[08213][8689], and bring[05060][8689] to the ground[0776], even to the dust[06083].
28:16 In that day[03117] shall this song[07892] be sung[07891][8714] in the land[0776] of Judah[03063]; We have a strong[05797] city[05892]; salvation[03444] will God appoint[07896][8799] for walls[02346] and bulwarks[02426].
28:17 Open[06605][8798] ye the gates[08179], that the righteous[06662] nation[01471] which keepeth[08104][8802] the truth[0529] may enter in[0935][8799]. truth: Heb. truths

30:13 Judgment[04941] also will I lay[07760][8804] to the line[06957], and righteousness[06666] to the plummet[04949]: and the hail[01259] shall sweep away[03261][8804] the refuge[04268] of lies[03577], and the waters[04325] shall overflow[07857][8799] the hiding place[05643].
30:14 And your covenant[01285] with death[04194] shall be disannulled[03722][8795], and your agreement[02380] with hell[07585] shall not stand[06965][8799]; when the overflowing[07857][8802] scourge[07752] shall pass through[05674][8799], then ye shall be trodden down[04823] by it. trodden...: Heb. a treading down to it
30:15 From the time[01767] that it goeth forth[05674][8800] it shall take[03947][8799] you: for morning[01242] by morning[01242] shall it pass over[05674][8799], by day[03117] and by night[03915]: and it shall be a vexation[02113] only to understand[0995][8687] the report[08052]. to...: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine
30:16 For the bed[04702] is shorter[07114][8804] than that a man can stretch[08311][8692] himself on it : and the covering[04541] narrower[06887][8804] than that he can wrap[03664][8692] himself in it .
30:17 For the LORD[03068] shall rise up[06965][8799] as in mount[02022] Perazim[06559], he shall be wroth[07264][8799] as in the valley[06010] of Gibeon[01391], that he may do[06213][8800] his work[04639], his strange[02114][8801] work[04639]; and bring to pass[05647][8800] his act[05656], his strange[05237] act[05656].
30:18 Now therefore be ye not mockers[03887][8698], lest your bands[04147] be made strong[02388][8799]: for I have heard[08085][8804] from the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] of hosts[06635] a consumption[03617], even determined[02782][8737] upon the whole earth[0776].
30:19 Give ye ear[0238][8685], and hear[08085][8798] my voice[06963]; hearken[07181][8685], and hear[08085][8798] my speech[0565].
30:20 Doth the plowman[02790][8802] plow[02790][8799] all day[03117] to sow[02232][8800]? doth he open[06605][8762] and break the clods[07702][8762] of his ground[0127]?
30:21 When he hath made plain[07737][8765] the face[06440] thereof, doth he not cast abroad[06327][8689] the fitches[07100], and scatter[02236][8799] the cummin[03646], and cast[07760][8804] in the principal[07795] wheat[02406] and the appointed[05567][8737] barley[08184] and the rie[03698] in their place[01367]? the principal...: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place rie: or, spelt place: Heb. border?

30:23 For the fitches[07100] are not threshed[01758][8714] with a threshing instrument[02742], neither is a cart[05699] wheel[0212] turned about[05437][8714] upon the cummin[03646]; but the fitches[07100] are beaten out[02251][8735] with a staff[04294], and the cummin[03646] with a rod[07626].
30:24 Bread[03899] corn is bruised[01854][8714]; because he will not ever[05331] be threshing[0156][8800][01758][8799] it, nor break[02000][8804] it with the wheel[01536] of his cart[05699], nor bruise[01854][8799] it with his horsemen[06571].
30:25 This also cometh forth[03318][8804] from the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], which is wonderful[06381][8689] in counsel[06098], and excellent[01431][8689] in working[08454].
30:26 Woe[01945] to Ariel[0740], to Ariel[0740], the city[07151] where David[01732] dwelt[02583][8804]! add[05595][8798] ye year[08141] to year[08141]; let them kill[05362][8799] sacrifices[02282].

30:28 And I will camp[02583][8804] against thee round about[01754], and will lay siege[06696][8804] against thee with a mount[04674], and I will raise[06965][8689] forts[04694] against thee.
30:29 And thou shalt be brought down[08213][8804], and shalt speak[01696][8762] out of the ground[0776], and thy speech[0565] shall be low[07817][8735] out of the dust[06083], and thy voice[06963] shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit[0178], out of the ground[0776], and thy speech[0565] shall whisper[06850][8770] out of the dust[06083]. whisper: Heb. peep, or, chirp
30:30 Moreover the multitude[01995] of thy strangers[02114][8801] shall be like small[01851] dust[080], and the multitude[01995] of the terrible ones[06184] shall be as chaff[04671] that passeth away[05674][8802]: yea, it shall be at an instant[06621] suddenly[06597].
30:31 Thou shalt be visited[06485][8735] of the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] with thunder[07482], and with earthquake[07494], and great[01419] noise[06963], with storm[05492] and tempest[05591], and the flame[03851] of devouring[0398][8802] fire[0784].
30:32 And the multitude[01995] of all the nations[01471] that fight[06633][8802] against Ariel[0740], even all that fight[06638][8802] against her and her munition[04685], and that distress[06693][8688] her, shall be as a dream[02472] of a night[03915] vision[02377].
30:33 It shall even be as when an hungry[07457] man dreameth[02492][8799], and, behold, he eateth[0398][8802]; but he awaketh[06974][8689], and his soul[05315] is empty[07386]: or as when[0834] a thirsty man[06771] dreameth[02492][8799], and, behold, he drinketh[08354][8802]; but he awaketh[06974][8689], and, behold, he is faint[05889], and his soul[05315] hath appetite[08264][8802]: so shall the multitude[01995] of all the nations[01471] be, that fight[06633][8802] against mount[02022] Zion[06726].
31:1 Stay[04102][8697] yourselves, and wonder[08539][8798]; cry ye out[08173][8697], and cry[08173][8798]: they are drunken[07937][8804], but not with wine[03196]; they stagger[05128][8804], but not with strong drink[07941]. cry ye...: or, take your pleasure, and riot
31:2 For the LORD[03068] hath poured out[05258][8804] upon you the spirit[07307] of deep sleep[08639], and hath closed[06105][8762] your eyes[05869]: the prophets[05030] and your rulers[07218], the seers[02374] hath he covered[03680][8765]. rulers: Heb. heads
31:3 And the vision[02380] of all is become unto you as the words[01697] of a book[05612] that is sealed[02856][8803], which men deliver[05414][8799] to one that is learned[03045][8802], saying[0559][8800], Read[07121][8798] this, I pray thee: and he saith[0559][8804], I cannot[03201][8799]; for it is sealed[02856][8803]: book: or, letter
31:4 And the book[05612] is delivered[05414][8738] to him that is not learned[03045][8804][05612], saying[0559][8800], Read[07121][8798] this, I pray thee: and he saith[0559][8804], I am not learned[03045][8804].
31:5 Wherefore the Lord[0136] said[0559][8799], Forasmuch[03282] as this people[05971] draw near[05066][8738] me with their mouth[06310], and with their lips[08193] do honour[03513][8765] me, but have removed[07368][00] their heart[03820] far[07368][8765] from me, and their fear[03374] toward me is taught[03925][8794] by the precept[04687] of men[0582]:
31:6 Therefore, behold, I will proceed[03254][8802] to do a marvellous work[06381][8687] among this people[05971], even a marvellous work[06381][8687] and a wonder[06382]: for the wisdom[02451] of their wise[02450]  men shall perish[06][8804], and the understanding[0998] of their prudent[0995][8737] men shall be hid[05641][8691]. proceed: Heb. add
31:7 Woe[01945] unto them that seek deep[06009][8688] to hide[05641][8687] their counsel[06098] from the LORD[03068], and their works[04639] are in the dark[04285], and they say[0559][8799], Who seeth[07200][8802] us? and who knoweth[03045][8802] us?
31:8 Surely your turning of things upside down[02017][8800] shall be esteemed[02803][8735] as the potter's[03335][8802] clay[02563]: for shall the work[04639] say[0559][8799] of him that made[06213][8802] it, He made[06213][8804] me not? or shall the thing framed[03336] say[0559][8804] of him that framed[03335][8802] it, He had no understanding[0995][8689]?
31:9 Is it not yet a very[04213] little while[04592], and Lebanon[03844] shall be turned[07725][8804] into a fruitful field[03759], and the fruitful field[03759] shall be esteemed[02803][8735] as a forest[03293]?
32:1 And in that day[03117] shall the deaf[02795] hear[08085][8804] the words[01697] of the book[05612], and the eyes[05869] of the blind[05787] shall see[07200][8799] out of obscurity[0652], and out of darkness[02822].
32:2 The meek[06035] also shall increase[03254][8804] their joy[08057] in the LORD[03068], and the poor[034] among men[0120] shall rejoice[01523][8799] in the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478]. increase: Heb. add
32:3 For the terrible one[06184] is brought to nought[0656][8804], and the scorner[03887][8801] is consumed[03615][8804], and all that watch[08245][8802] for iniquity[0205] are cut off[03772][8738]:
32:4 That make a man[0120] an offender[02398][8688] for a word[01697], and lay a snare[06983][8799] for him that reproveth[03198][8688] in the gate[08179], and turn aside[05186][8686] the just[06662] for a thing of nought[08414].
32:5 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], who redeemed[06299][8804] Abraham[085], concerning the house[01004] of Jacob[03290], Jacob[03290] shall not now be ashamed[0954][8799], neither shall his face[06440] now wax pale[02357][8799].
32:6 But when he seeth[07200][8800] his children[03206], the work[04639] of mine hands[03027], in the midst[07130] of him, they shall sanctify[06942][8686] my name[08034], and sanctify[06942][8689] the Holy One[06918] of Jacob[03290], and shall fear[06206][8686] the God[0430] of Israel[03478].
32:7 They also that erred[08582][8802] in spirit[07307] shall come[03045][8804] to understanding[0998], and they that murmured[07279][8803] shall learn[03925][8799] doctrine[03948]. come...: Heb. know understanding
32:8 Woe[01945] to the rebellious[05637][8802] children[01121], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that take[06213][8800] counsel[06098], but not of me; and that cover[05258][8800] with a covering[04541], but not of my spirit[07307], that they may add[05595][8800] sin[02403] to sin[02403]:
32:9 That walk[01980][8802] to go down[03381][8800] into Egypt[04714], and have not asked[07592][8804] at my mouth[06310]; to strengthen[05810][8800] themselves in the strength[04581] of Pharaoh[06547], and to trust[02620][8800] in the shadow[06738] of Egypt[04714]!
32:10 Therefore shall the strength[04581] of Pharaoh[06547] be your shame[01322], and the trust[02622] in the shadow[06738] of Egypt[04714] your confusion[03639].
32:11 For his princes[08269] were at Zoan[06814], and his ambassadors[04397] came[05060][8686] to Hanes[02609].
32:12 They were all ashamed[03001][8689] of a people[05971] that could not profit[03276][8686] them, nor be an help[05828] nor profit[03276][8687], but a shame[01322], and also a reproach[02781].
32:13 The burden[04853] of the beasts[0929] of the south[05045]: into the land[0776] of trouble[06869] and anguish[06695], from whence come the young[03833] and old lion[03918], the viper[0660] and fiery[08314][00] flying[05774][8789] serpent[08314], they will carry[05375][8799] their riches[02428] upon the shoulders[03802] of young asses[05895], and their treasures[0214] upon the bunches[01707] of camels[01581], to a people[05971] that shall not profit[03276][8686] them .
32:14 For the Egyptians[04714] shall help[05826][8799] in vain[01892], and to no purpose[07385]: therefore have I cried[07121][8804] concerning this[02063], Their[01992] strength[07293] is to sit still[07674]. concerning...: or, to her

32:17 Which say[0559][8804] to the seers[07200][8802], See[07200][8799] not; and to the prophets[02374], Prophesy[02372][8799] not unto us right things[05229], speak[01696][8761] unto us smooth things[02513], prophesy[02372][8798] deceits[04123]:
32:18 Get you out[05493][8798] of the way[01870], turn aside[05186][8685] out of the path[0734], cause the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478] to cease[07673][8685] from before[06440] us.
32:19 Wherefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478], Because ye despise[03988][8800] this word[01697], and trust[0982][8799] in oppression[06233] and perverseness[03868][8737], and stay[08172][8735] thereon: oppression: or, fraud
32:20 Therefore this iniquity[05771] shall be to you as a breach[06556] ready to fall[05307][8802], swelling out[01158][8737] in a high[07682][8737] wall[02346], whose breaking[07667] cometh[0935][8799] suddenly[06597] at an instant[06621].
33:1 And he shall break[07665][8804] it as the breaking[07667] of the potters[03335][8802]' vessel[05035] that is broken in pieces[03807][8800]; he shall not spare[02550][8799]: so that there shall not be found[04672][8735] in the bursting[04386] of it a sherd[02789] to take[02846][8800] fire[0784] from the hearth[03344][8803], or to take[02834][8800] water[04325] withal out of the pit[01360]. the potters'...: Heb. the bottle of potters
33:2 For thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478]; In returning[07729] and rest[05183] shall ye be saved[03467][8735]; in quietness[08252][8687] and in confidence[0985] shall be your strength[01369]: and ye would[014][8804] not.
33:3 But ye said[0559][8799], No; for we will flee[05127][8799] upon horses[05483]; therefore shall ye flee[05127][8799]: and, We will ride[07392][8799] upon the swift[07031]; therefore shall they that pursue[07291][8802] you be swift[07043][8735].
33:4 One[0259] thousand[0505] shall flee at[06440] the rebuke[01606] of one[0259]; at[06440] the rebuke[01606] of five[02568] shall ye flee[05127][8799]: till ye be left[03498][8738] as a beacon[08650] upon the top[07218] of a mountain[02022], and as an ensign[05251] on an hill[01389]. a beacon: or, a tree bereft of branches, or, boughs: or, a mast

33:6 For the people[05971] shall dwell[03427][8799] in Zion[06726] at Jerusalem[03389]: thou shalt weep[01058][8799] no more[01058][8800]: he will be very[02603][8800] gracious[02603][8799] unto thee at the voice[06963] of thy cry[02199][8800]; when he shall hear[08085][8800] it, he will answer[06030][8804] thee.
33:7 And though the Lord[0136] give[05414][8804] you the bread[03899] of adversity[06862], and the water[04325] of affliction[03906], yet shall not thy teachers[03384][8688] be removed into a corner[03670][8735] any more, but thine eyes[05869] shall see[07200][8802] thy teachers[03384][8688]: affliction: or, oppression
33:8 And thine ears[0241] shall hear[08085][8799] a word[01697] behind[0310] thee, saying[0559][8800], This is the way[01870], walk ye in it[03212][8798], when ye turn to the right hand[0541][8686], and when ye turn to the left[08041][8686].

37:29 And the king[04428] of Assyria[0804] sent[07971][8799] Rabshakeh[07262] from Lachish[03923] to Jerusalem[03389] unto king[04428] Hezekiah[02396] with a great[03515] army[02426].

37:31 And Rabshakeh[07262] said[0559][8799] unto them, Say[0559][8798] ye now to Hezekiah[02396], Thus saith[0559][8804] the great[01419] king[04428], the king[04428] of Assyria[0804], What confidence[0986] is this wherein thou trustest[0982][8804]?
37:32 I say[0559][8804], sayest thou , (but they are but vain[08193] words[01697]) I have counsel[06098] and strength[01369] for war[04421]: now on whom dost thou trust[0982][8804], that thou rebellest[04775][8804] against me? vain...: Heb. a word of lips I have...: or, but counsel and strength are for the war
37:33 Lo, thou trustest[0982][8804] in the staff[04938] of this broken[07533][8803] reed[07070], on Egypt[04714]; whereon if a man[0376] lean[05564][8735], it will go[0935][8804] into his hand[03709], and pierce[05344][8804] it: so is Pharaoh[06547] king[04428] of Egypt[04714] to all that trust[0982][8802] in him.
37:34 But if thou say[0559][8799] to me, We trust[0982][8804] in the LORD[03068] our God[0430]: is it not he, whose high places[01116] and whose altars[04196] Hezekiah[02396] hath taken away[05493][8689], and said[0559][8799] to Judah[03063] and to Jerusalem[03389], Ye shall worship[07812][8691] before[06440] this altar[04196]?
37:35 Now therefore give pledges[06148][8690], I pray thee, to my master[0113] the king[04428] of Assyria[0804], and I will give[05414][8799] thee two thousand[0505] horses[05483], if thou be able[03201][8799] on thy part to set[05414][8800] riders[07392][8802] upon them. pledges: or, hostages
37:36 How then wilt thou turn away[07725][8686] the face[06440] of one[0259] captain[06346] of the least[06996] of my master's[0113] servants[05650], and put thy trust[0982][8799] on Egypt[04714] for chariots[07393] and for horsemen[06571]?
37:37 And am I now come up[05927][8804] without[01107] the LORD[03068] against this land[0776] to destroy[07843][8687] it? the LORD[03068] said[0559][8804] unto me, Go up[05927][8798] against this land[0776], and destroy[07843][8685] it.
37:38 Then said[0559][8799] Eliakim[0471] and Shebna[07644] and Joah[03098] unto Rabshakeh[07262], Speak[01696][8761], I pray thee, unto thy servants[05650] in the Syrian language[0762]; for we understand[08085][8802] it : and speak[01696][8762] not to us in the Jews' language[03066], in the ears[0241] of the people[05971] that are on the wall[02346].
38:1 But Rabshakeh[07262] said[0559][8799], Hath my master[0113] sent[07971][8804] me to thy master[0113] and to thee to speak[01696][8763] these words[01697]? hath he not sent me to the men[0582] that sit[03427][8802] upon the wall[02346], that they may eat[0398][8800] their own dung[02716][8676][06675], and drink[08354][8800] their own piss[04325][07272][8675][07890] with you?
38:2 Then Rabshakeh[07262] stood[05975][8799], and cried[07121][8799] with a loud[01419] voice[06963] in the Jews' language[03066], and said[0559][8799], Hear[08085][8798] ye the words[01697] of the great[01419] king[04428], the king[04428] of Assyria[0804].
38:3 Thus saith[0559][8804] the king[04428], Let not Hezekiah[02396] deceive[05377][8686] you: for he shall not be able[03201][8799] to deliver[05337][8687] you.
38:4 Neither let Hezekiah[02396] make you trust[0982][8686] in the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800], The LORD[03068] will surely[05337][8687] deliver[05337][8686] us: this city[05892] shall not be delivered[05414][8735] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Assyria[0804].
38:5 Hearken[08085][8799] not to Hezekiah[02396]: for thus saith[0559][8804] the king[04428] of Assyria[0804], Make[06213][8798] an agreement with me by a present[01293], and come out[03318][8798] to me: and eat[0398][8798] ye every one[0376] of his vine[01612], and every one[0376] of his fig tree[08384], and drink[08354][8798] ye every one[0376] the waters[04325] of his own cistern[0953]; Make...: or, Seek my favour by a present: Heb. Make with me a blessing
38:6 Until I come[0935][8800] and take you away[03947][8804] to a land[0776] like your own land[0776], a land[0776] of corn[01715] and wine[08492], a land[0776] of bread[03899] and vineyards[03754].
38:7 Beware lest Hezekiah[02396] persuade[05496][8686] you, saying[0559][8800], The LORD[03068] will deliver[05337][8686] us. Hath any[0376] of the gods[0430] of the nations[01471] delivered[05337][8689] his land[0776] out of the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Assyria[0804]?
38:8 Where are the gods[0430] of Hamath[02574] and Arphad[0774]? where are the gods[0430] of Sepharvaim[05617]? and have they delivered[05337][8689] Samaria[08111] out of my hand[03027]?
38:9 Who are they among all the gods[0430] of these lands[0776], that have delivered[05337][8689] their land[0776] out of my hand[03027], that the LORD[03068] should deliver[05337][8686] Jerusalem[03389] out of my hand[03027]?
38:10 But they held their peace[02790][8686], and answered[06030][8804] him not a word[01697]: for the king's[04428] commandment[04687] was, saying[0559][8800], Answer[06030][8799] him not.
38:11 Then came[0935][8799] Eliakim[0471], the son[01121] of Hilkiah[02518], that was over the household[01004], and Shebna[07644] the scribe[05608][8802], and Joah[03098], the son[01121] of Asaph[0623], the recorder[02142][8688], to Hezekiah[02396] with their clothes[0899] rent[07167][8803], and told[05046][8686] him the words[01697] of Rabshakeh[07262].
38:12 And it came to pass, when king[04428] Hezekiah[02396] heard[08085][8800] it , that he rent[07167][8799] his clothes[0899], and covered[03680][8691] himself with sackcloth[08242], and went[0935][8799] into the house[01004] of the LORD[03068].
38:13 And he sent[07971][8799] Eliakim[0471], who was over the household[01004], and Shebna[07644] the scribe[05608][8802], and the elders[02205] of the priests[03548] covered[03680][8693] with sackcloth[08242], unto Isaiah[03470] the prophet[05030] the son[01121] of Amoz[0531].
38:14 And they said[0559][8799] unto him, Thus saith[0559][8804] Hezekiah[02396], This day[03117] is a day[03117] of trouble[06869], and of rebuke[08433], and of blasphemy[05007]: for the children[01121] are come[0935][8804] to the birth[04866], and there is not strength[03581] to bring forth[03205][8800]. blasphemy: or, provocation
38:15 It may be the LORD[03068] thy God[0430] will hear[08085][8799] the words[01697] of Rabshakeh[07262], whom the king[04428] of Assyria[0804] his master[0113] hath sent[07971][8804] to reproach[02778][8763] the living[02416] God[0430], and will reprove[03198][8689] the words[01697] which the LORD[03068] thy God[0430] hath heard[08085][8804]: wherefore lift up[05375][8804] thy prayer[08605] for the remnant[07611] that is left[04672][8737]. left: Heb. found
38:16 So the servants[05650] of king[04428] Hezekiah[02396] came[0935][8799] to Isaiah[03470].
38:17 And Isaiah[03470] said[0559][8799] unto them, Thus shall ye say[0559][8799] unto your master[0113], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Be not afraid[03372][8799] of[06440] the words[01697] that thou hast heard[08085][8804], wherewith the servants[05288] of the king[04428] of Assyria[0804] have blasphemed[01442][8765] me.
38:18 Behold, I will send[05414][8802] a blast[07307] upon him, and he shall hear[08085][8804] a rumour[08052], and return[07725][8804] to his own land[0776]; and I will cause him to fall[05307][8689] by the sword[02719] in his own land[0776]. send...: or, put a spirit into him
38:19 So Rabshakeh[07262] returned[07725][8799], and found[04672][8799] the king[04428] of Assyria[0804] warring[03898][8737] against Libnah[03841]: for he had heard[08085][8804] that he was departed[05265][8804] from Lachish[03923].
38:20 And he heard[08085][8799] say[0559][8800] concerning Tirhakah[08640] king[04428] of Ethiopia[03568], He is come forth[03318][8804] to make war[03898][8736] with thee. And when he heard[08085][8799] it , he sent[07971][8799] messengers[04397] to Hezekiah[02396], saying[0559][8800],
38:21 Thus shall ye speak[0559][8799] to Hezekiah[02396] king[04428] of Judah[03063], saying[0559][8800], Let not thy God[0430], in whom thou trustest[0982][8802], deceive[05377][8686] thee, saying[0559][8800], Jerusalem[03389] shall not be given[05414][8735] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Assyria[0804].
38:22 Behold, thou hast heard[08085][8804] what the kings[04428] of Assyria[0804] have done[06213][8804] to all lands[0776] by destroying them utterly[02763][8687]; and shalt thou be delivered[05337][8735]?
39:1 Have the gods[0430] of the nations[01471] delivered[05337][8689] them which my fathers[01] have destroyed[07843][8689], as Gozan[01470], and Haran[02771], and Rezeph[07530], and the children[01121] of Eden[05729] which were in Telassar[08515]?
39:2 Where is the king[04428] of Hamath[02574], and the king[04428] of Arphad[0774], and the king[04428] of the city[05892] of Sepharvaim[05617], Hena[02012], and Ivah[05755]?
39:3 And Hezekiah[02396] received[03947][8799] the letter[05612] from the hand[03027] of the messengers[04397], and read[07121][8799] it: and Hezekiah[02396] went up[05927][8799] unto the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], and spread[06566][8799] it before[06440] the LORD[03068].
39:4 And Hezekiah[02396] prayed[06419][8691] unto the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800],
39:5 O LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], God[0430] of Israel[03478], that dwellest[03427][8802] between the cherubims[03742], thou art the God[0430], even thou alone, of all the kingdoms[04467] of the earth[0776]: thou hast made[06213][8804] heaven[08064] and earth[0776].
39:6 Incline[05186][8685] thine ear[0241], O LORD[03068], and hear[08085][8798]; open[06491][8798] thine eyes[05869], O LORD[03068], and see[07200][8798]: and hear[08085][8798] all the words[01697] of Sennacherib[05576], which hath sent[07971][8804] to reproach[02778][8763] the living[02416] God[0430].
39:7 Of a truth[0551], LORD[03068], the kings[04428] of Assyria[0804] have laid waste[02717][8689] all the nations[0776], and their countries[0776], nations: Heb. lands
39:8 And have cast[05414][8800] their gods[0430] into the fire[0784]: for they were no gods[0430], but the work[04639] of men's[0120] hands[03027], wood[06086] and stone[068]: therefore they have destroyed[06][8762] them. cast: Heb. given
40:1 Now therefore, O LORD[03068] our God[0430], save[03467][8685] us from his hand[03027], that all the kingdoms[04467] of the earth[0776] may know[03045][8799] that thou art the LORD[03068], even thou only.
40:2 Then Isaiah[03470] the son[01121] of Amoz[0531] sent[07971][8799] unto Hezekiah[02396], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of Israel[03478], Whereas thou hast prayed[06419][8694] to me against Sennacherib[05576] king[04428] of Assyria[0804]:
40:3 This is the word[01697] which the LORD[03068] hath spoken[01696][8765] concerning him; The virgin[01330], the daughter[01323] of Zion[06726], hath despised[0959][8804] thee, and laughed thee to scorn;[03932][8804] the daughter[01323] of Jerusalem[03389] hath shaken[05128][8689] her head[07218] at thee[0310].
40:4 Whom hast thou reproached[02778][8765] and blasphemed[01442][8765]? and against whom hast thou exalted[07311][8689] thy voice[06963], and lifted up[05375][8799] thine eyes[05869] on high[04791]? even against the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478].
40:5 By[03027] thy servants[05650] hast thou reproached[02778][8765] the Lord[0136], and hast said[0559][8799], By the multitude[07230] of my chariots[07393] am I come up[05927][8804] to the height[04791] of the mountains[02022], to the sides[03411] of Lebanon[03844]; and I will cut down[03772][8799] the tall[06967] cedars[0730] thereof, and the choice[04005] fir trees[01265] thereof: and I will enter[0935][8799] into the height[04791] of his border[07093], and the forest[03293] of his Carmel[03760]. By thy...: Heb. By the hand of thy servants the tall...: Heb. the tallness of the cedars thereof and the choice of the fir trees thereof the forest...: or, the forest and his fruitful field
40:6 I have digged[06979][8804], and drunk[08354][8804] water[04325]; and with the sole[03709] of my feet[06471] have I dried up[02717][8686] all the rivers[02975] of the besieged places[04693]. besieged: or, fenced and closed
40:7 Hast thou not heard[08085][8804] long ago[07350], how I have done[06213][8804] it; and of ancient[06924] times[03117], that I have formed[03335][8804] it? now have I brought[0935][8689] it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste[07582][8687] defenced[01219][8803] cities[05892] into ruinous[05327][8737] heaps[01530]. Hast...: or, Hast thou not heard how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and defenced cities to be ruinous heaps?
40:8 Therefore their inhabitants[03427][8802] were of small[07116] power[03027], they were dismayed[02865][8804] and confounded[0954][8804]: they were as the grass[06212] of the field[07704], and as the green[03419] herb[01877], as the grass[02682] on the housetops[01406], and as corn blasted[07709] before[06440] it be grown up[07054]. of small...: Heb. short of hand
40:9 But I know[03045][8804] thy abode[03427][8800], and thy going out[03318][8800], and thy coming in[0935][8800], and thy rage[07264][8692] against me. abode: or, sitting
40:10 Because thy rage[07264][8692] against me, and thy tumult[07600], is come up[05927][8804] into mine ears[0241], therefore will I put[07760][8804] my hook[02397] in thy nose[0639], and my bridle[04964] in thy lips[08193], and I will turn thee back[07725][8689] by the way[01870] by which thou camest[0935][8804].
40:11 And this shall be a sign[0226] unto thee, Ye shall eat[0398][8800] this year[08141] such as groweth[05599] of itself; and the second[08145] year[08141] that which springeth[07823] of the same: and in the third[07992] year[08141] sow[02232][8798] ye, and reap[07114][8798], and plant[05193][8798] vineyards[03754], and eat[0398][8798] the fruit[06529] thereof.
40:12 And the remnant[07604][8737] that is escaped[06413] of the house[01004] of Judah[03063] shall again[03254][8804] take root[08328] downward[04295], and bear[06213][8804] fruit[06529] upward[04605]: the remnant...: Heb. the escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth
40:13 For out of Jerusalem[03389] shall go forth[03318][8799] a remnant[07611], and they that escape[06413] out of mount[02022] Zion[06726]: the zeal[07068] of the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] shall do[06213][8799] this. they...: Heb. the escaping
40:14 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] concerning the king[04428] of Assyria[0804], He shall not come[0935][8799] into this city[05892], nor shoot[03384][8686] an arrow[02671] there, nor come before[06923][8762] it with shields[04043], nor cast[08210][8799] a bank[05550] against it.
40:15 By the way[01870] that he came[0935][8804], by the same shall he return[07725][8799], and shall not come[0935][8799] into this city[05892], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
40:16 For I will defend[01598][8804] this city[05892] to save[03467][8687] it for mine own sake, and for my servant[05650] David's[01732] sake.
40:17 Then the angel[04397] of the LORD[03068] went forth[03318][8799], and smote[05221][8686] in the camp[04264] of the Assyrians[0804] a hundred[03967] and fourscore[08084] and five[02568] thousand[0505]: and when they arose early[07925][8686] in the morning[01242], behold, they were all dead[04191][8801] corpses[06297].
40:18 So Sennacherib[05576] king[04428] of Assyria[0804] departed[05265][8799], and went[03212][8799] and returned[07725][8799], and dwelt[03427][8799] at Nineveh[05210].
40:19 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping[07812][8693] in the house[01004] of Nisroch[05268] his god[0430], that Adrammelech[0152] and Sharezer[08272] his sons[01121] smote[05221][8689] him with the sword[02719]; and they escaped[04422][8738] into the land[0776] of Armenia[0780]: and Esarhaddon[0634] his son[01121] reigned[04427][8799] in his stead. Armenia: Heb. Ararat
40:20 In those days[03117] was Hezekiah[02396] sick[02470][8804] unto death[04191][8800]. And Isaiah[03470] the prophet[05030] the son[01121] of Amoz[0531] came[0935][8799] unto him, and said[0559][8799] unto him, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Set thine house[01004] in order[06680][8761]: for thou shalt die[04191][8801], and not live[02421][8799]. Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house
40:21 Then Hezekiah[02396] turned[05437][8686] his face[06440] toward the wall[07023], and prayed[06419][8691] unto the LORD[03068],
40:22 And said[0559][8799], Remember[02142][8798] now, O LORD[03068], I beseech[0577] thee, how I have walked[01980][8694] before[06440] thee in truth[0571] and with a perfect[08003] heart[03820], and have done[06213][8804]  that which is good[02896] in thy sight[05869]. And Hezekiah[02396] wept[01058][8799][01065] sore[01419]. sore: Heb. with great weeping
40:23 Then came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] to Isaiah[03470], saying[0559][8800],
40:24 Go[01980][8800], and say[0559][8804] to Hezekiah[02396], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of David[01732] thy father[01], I have heard[08085][8804] thy prayer[08605], I have seen[07200][8804] thy tears[01832]: behold, I will add[03254][8802] unto thy days[03117] fifteen[02568][06240] years[08141].
40:25 And I will deliver[05337][8686] thee and this city[05892] out of the hand[03709] of the king[04428] of Assyria[0804]: and I will defend[01598][8804] this city[05892].
40:26 And this shall be a sign[0226] unto thee from the LORD[03068], that the LORD[03068] will do[06213][8799] this thing[01697] that he hath spoken[01696][8765];
40:27 Behold, I will bring again[07725][8688] the shadow[06738] of the degrees[04609], which is gone down[03381][8804] in the sun[08121] dial[04609] of Ahaz[0271], ten[06235] degrees[04609] backward[0322]. So the sun[08121] returned[07725][8799] ten[06235] degrees[04609], by which degrees[04609] it was gone down[03381][8804]. sun dial: Heb. degrees by, or, with the sun
40:28 The writing[04385] of Hezekiah[02396] king[04428] of Judah[03063], when he had been sick[02470][8800], and was recovered[02421][8799] of his sickness[02483]:
40:29 I said[0559][8804] in the cutting off[01824] of my days[03117], I shall go[03212][8799] to the gates[08179] of the grave[07585]: I am deprived[06485][8795] of the residue[03499] of my years[08141].
40:30 I said[0559][8804], I shall not see[07200][8799] the LORD[03050], even the LORD[03050], in the land[0776] of the living[02416]: I shall behold[05027][8686] man[0120] no more with the inhabitants[03427][8802] of the world[02309].
40:31 Mine age[01755] is departed[05265][8738], and is removed[01540][8738] from me as a shepherd's[07473] tent[0168]: I have cut off[07088][8765] like a weaver[0707][8802] my life[02416]: he will cut me off[01214][8762] with pining sickness[01803]: from day[03117] even to night[03915] wilt thou make an end[07999][8686] of me. with...: or, from the thrum
41:1 I reckoned[07737][8765] till morning[01242], that , as a lion[0738], so will he break[07665][8762] all my bones[06106]: from day[03117] even to night[03915] wilt thou make an end[07999][8686] of me.
41:2 Like a crane[05483] or a swallow[05693], so did I chatter[06850][8770]: I did mourn[01897][8799] as a dove[03123]: mine eyes[05869] fail[01809][8804] with looking upward[04791]: O LORD[03068], I am oppressed[06234]; undertake[06148][8798] for me. undertake...: or, ease me
41:3 What shall I say[01696][8762]? he hath both spoken[0559][8804] unto me, and himself hath done[06213][8804] it : I shall go softly[01718][8691] all my years[08141] in the bitterness[04751] of my soul[05315].
41:4 O Lord[0136], by these things men live[02421][8799], and in all these things is the life[02416] of my spirit[07307]: so wilt thou recover[02492][8686] me, and make me to live[02421][8685].
41:5 Behold, for peace[07965] I had great bitterness[04751][04843][8804]: but thou hast in love[02836][8804] to my soul[05315] delivered it from the pit[07845] of corruption[01097]: for thou hast cast[07993][8689] all my sins[02399] behind[0310] thy back[01460]. for peace...: or, on my peace came great bitterness thou hast in...: Heb. thou hast loved my soul from the pit
41:6 For the grave[07585] cannot praise[03034][8686] thee, death[04194] can not celebrate[01984][8762] thee: they that go down[03381][8802] into the pit[0953] cannot hope[07663][8762] for thy truth[0571].
41:7 The living[02416], the living[02416], he shall praise[03034][8686] thee, as I do this day[03117]: the father[01] to the children[01121] shall make known[03045][8686] thy truth[0571].
41:8 The LORD[03068] was ready to save[03467][8687] me: therefore we will sing my songs[05058] to the stringed instruments[05059][8762] all the days[03117] of our life[02416] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068].
41:9 For Isaiah[03470] had said[0559][8799], Let them take[05375][8799] a lump[01690] of figs[08384], and lay it for a plaister[04799][8799] upon the boil[07822], and he shall recover[02421][8799].
41:10 Hezekiah[02396] also had said[0559][8799], What is the sign[0226] that I shall go up[05927][8799] to the house[01004] of the LORD[03068]?
41:11 At that time[06256] Merodachbaladan[04757], the son[01121] of Baladan[01081], king[04428] of Babylon[0894], sent[07971][8804] letters[05612] and a present[04503] to Hezekiah[02396]: for he had heard[08085][8799] that he had been sick[02470][8804], and was recovered[02388][8799].
41:12 And Hezekiah[02396] was glad[08055][8799] of them, and shewed[07200][8686] them the house[01004] of his precious things[05238], the silver[03701], and the gold[02091], and the spices[01314], and the precious[02896] ointment[08081], and all the house[01004] of his armour[03627], and all that was found[04672][8738] in his treasures[0214]: there was nothing[01697] in his house[01004], nor in all his dominion[04475], that Hezekiah[02396] shewed[07200][8689] them not. precious things: or, spicery armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments
41:13 Then came[0935][8799] Isaiah[03470] the prophet[05030] unto king[04428] Hezekiah[02396], and said[0559][8799] unto him, What said[0559][8804] these men[0582]? and from whence[0370] came[0935][8799] they unto thee? And Hezekiah[02396] said[0559][8799], They are come[0935][8804] from a far[07350] country[0776] unto me, even from Babylon[0894].
41:14 Then said[0559][8799] he, What have they seen[07200][8804] in thine house[01004]? And Hezekiah[02396] answered[0559][8799], All that is in mine house[01004] have they seen[07200][8804]: there is nothing[01697] among my treasures[0214] that I have not shewed[07200][8689] them.
41:15 Then said[0559][8799] Isaiah[03470] to Hezekiah[02396], Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]:

46:11 Then shall it be for a man[0120] to burn[01197][8763]: for he will take[03947][8799] thereof, and warm[02552][8799] himself; yea, he kindleth[05400][8686] it , and baketh[0644][8804] bread[03899]; yea, he maketh[06466][8799] a god[0410], and worshippeth[07812][8691] it ; he maketh[06213][8804] it a graven image[06459], and falleth down[05456][8799] thereto.
46:12 He burneth[08313][8804] part[02677] thereof in[01119] the fire[0784]; with part[02677] thereof he eateth[0398][8799] flesh[01320]; he roasteth[06740][8799] roast[06748], and is satisfied[07646][8799]: yea, he warmeth[02552][8799] himself , and saith[0559][8799], Aha[01889], I am warm[02552][8804], I have seen[07200][8804] the fire[0217]:
46:13 And the residue[07611] thereof he maketh[06213][8804] a god[0410], even his graven image[06459]: he falleth down[05456][8799] unto it, and worshippeth[07812][8691] it , and prayeth[06419][8691] unto it, and saith[0559][8799], Deliver[05337][8685] me; for thou art my god[0410].
47:1 They have not known[03045][8804] nor understood[0995][8799]: for he hath shut[02902][8804] their eyes[05869], that they cannot see[07200][8800]; and their hearts[03826], that they cannot understand[07919][8687]. shut: Heb. daubed
47:2 And none considereth[07725][8686] in his heart[03820], neither is there knowledge[01847] nor understanding[08394] to say[0559][8800], I have burned[08313][8804] part[02677] of it in[01119] the fire[0784]; yea, also I have baked[0644][8804] bread[03899] upon the coals[01513] thereof; I have roasted[06740][8799] flesh[01320], and eaten[0398][8799] it : and shall I make[06213][8799] the residue[03499] thereof an abomination[08441]? shall I fall down[05456][8799] to the stock[0944] of a tree[06086]? considereth...: Heb. setteth to his heart the stock...: Heb. that which comes of a tree?
47:3 He feedeth[07462][8802] on ashes[0665]: a deceived[02048][8795] heart[03820] hath turned him aside[05186][8689], that he cannot deliver[05337][8686] his soul[05315], nor say[0559][8799], Is there not a lie[08267] in my right hand[03225]?
47:4 Remember[02142][8798] these, O Jacob[03290] and Israel[03478]; for thou art my servant[05650]: I have formed[03335][8804] thee; thou art my servant[05650]: O Israel[03478], thou shalt not be forgotten[05382][8735] of me.
47:5 I have blotted out[04229][8804], as a thick cloud[05645], thy transgressions[06588], and, as a cloud[06051], thy sins[02403]: return[07725][8798] unto me; for I have redeemed[01350][8804] thee.
47:6 Sing[07442][8798], O ye heavens[08064]; for the LORD[03068] hath done[06213][8804] it : shout[07321][8685], ye lower parts[08482] of the earth[0776]: break forth[06476][8798] into singing[07440], ye mountains[02022], O forest[03293], and every tree[06086] therein: for the LORD[03068] hath redeemed[01350][8804] Jacob[03290], and glorified[06286][8691] himself in Israel[03478].
47:7 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], thy redeemer[01350][8802], and he that formed[03335][8802] thee from the womb[0990], I am the LORD[03068] that maketh[06213][8802] all things ; that stretcheth forth[05186][8802] the heavens[08064] alone; that spreadeth abroad[07554][8802] the earth[0776] by myself;
47:8 That frustrateth[06565][8688] the tokens[0226] of the liars[0907], and maketh diviners[07080][8802] mad[01984][8779]; that turneth[07725][8688] wise[02450] men backward[0268], and maketh their knowledge[01847] foolish[05528][8762];
47:9 That confirmeth[06965][8688] the word[01697] of his servant[05650], and performeth[07999][8686] the counsel[06098] of his messengers[04397]; that saith[0559][8802] to Jerusalem[03389], Thou shalt be inhabited[03427][8714]; and to the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], Ye shall be built[01129][8735], and I will raise up[06965][8787] the decayed places[02723] thereof: decayed...: Heb. wastes

47:11 That saith[0559][8802] of Cyrus[03566], He is my shepherd[07462][8802], and shall perform[07999][8686] all my pleasure[02656]: even saying[0559][8800] to Jerusalem[03389], Thou shalt be built[01129][8735]; and to the temple[01964], Thy foundation shall be laid[03245][8735].
47:12 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] to his anointed[04899], to Cyrus[03566], whose right hand[03225] I have holden[02388][8689], to subdue[07286][8800] nations[01471] before[06440] him; and I will loose[06605][8762] the loins[04975] of kings[04428], to open[06605][8800] before[06440] him the two leaved gates[01817]; and the gates[08179] shall not be shut[05462][8735]; have...: or, strengthened

47:14 And I will give[05414][8804] thee the treasures[0214] of darkness[02822], and hidden riches[04301] of secret places[04565], that thou mayest know[03045][8799] that I, the LORD[03068], which call[07121][8802] thee by thy name[08034], am the God[0430] of Israel[03478].
47:15 For Jacob[03290] my servant's[05650] sake, and Israel[03478] mine elect[0972], I have even called[07121][8799] thee by thy name[08034]: I have surnamed[03655][8762] thee, though thou hast not known[03045][8804] me.
48:1 I am the LORD[03068], and there is none else, there is no God[0430] beside[02108] me: I girded[0247][8762] thee, though thou hast not known[03045][8804] me:
48:2 That they may know[03045][8799] from the rising[04217] of the sun[08121], and from the west[04628], that there is none[0657] beside[01107] me. I am the LORD[03068], and there is none else.
48:3 I form[03335][8802] the light[0216], and create[01254][8802] darkness[02822]: I make[06213][8802] peace[07965], and create[01254][8802] evil[07451]: I the LORD[03068] do[06213][8802] all these things .
48:4 Drop down[07491][8685], ye heavens[08064], from above[04605], and let the skies[07834] pour down[05140][8799] righteousness[06664]: let the earth[0776] open[06605][8799], and let them bring forth[06509][8799] salvation[03468], and let righteousness[06666] spring up[06779][8686] together[03162]; I the LORD[03068] have created[01254][8804] it.
48:5 Woe[01945] unto him that striveth[07378][8801] with his Maker[03335][8802]! Let the potsherd[02789] strive with the potsherds[02789] of the earth[0127]. Shall the clay[02563] say[0559][8799] to him that fashioneth[03335][8802] it, What makest[06213][8799] thou? or thy work[06467], He hath no hands[03027]?

48:7 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478], and his Maker[03335][8802], Ask[07592][8798] me of things to come[0857][8802] concerning my sons[01121], and concerning the work[06467] of my hands[03027] command[06680][8762] ye me.
48:8 I have made[06213][8804] the earth[0776], and created[01254][8804] man[0120] upon it: I, even my hands[03027], have stretched out[05186][8804] the heavens[08064], and all their host[06635] have I commanded[06680][8765].
48:9 I have raised him up[05782][8689] in righteousness[06664], and I will direct[03474][8762] all his ways[01870]: he shall build[01129][8799] my city[05892], and he shall let go[07971][8762] my captives[01546], not for price[04242] nor reward[07810], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]. direct: or, make straight

48:11 Verily[0403] thou art a God[0410] that hidest[05641][8693] thyself, O God[0430] of Israel[03478], the Saviour[03467][8688].
48:12 They shall be ashamed[0954][8804], and also confounded[03637][8738], all of them: they shall go[01980][8804] to confusion[03639] together[03162] that are makers[02796] of idols[06736].
48:13 But Israel[03478] shall be saved[03467][8738] in the LORD[03068] with an everlasting[05769] salvation[08668]: ye shall not be ashamed[0954][8799] nor confounded[03637][8735] world[05769] without end[05703].

48:15 I have not spoken[01696][8765] in secret[05643], in a dark[02822] place[04725] of the earth[0776]: I said[0559][8804] not unto the seed[02233] of Jacob[03290], Seek[01245][8761] ye me in vain[08414]: I the LORD[03068] speak[01696][8802] righteousness[06664], I declare[05046][8688] things that are right[04339].
48:16 Assemble[06908][8734] yourselves and come[0935][8798]; draw near[05066][8690] together[03162], ye that are escaped[06412] of the nations[01471]: they have no knowledge[03045][8804] that set up[05375][8802] the wood[06086] of their graven image[06459], and pray[06419][8693] unto a god[0410] that cannot save[03467][8686].
48:17 Tell[05046][8685] ye, and bring them near[05066][8685]; yea, let them take counsel[03289][8735] together[03162]: who hath declared[08085][8689] this from ancient time[06924]? who hath told[05046][8689] it from that time? have not I the LORD[03068]? and there is no God[0430] else beside[01107] me; a just[06662] God[0410] and a Saviour[03467][8688]; there is none[0369] beside[02108] me.
48:18 Look[06437][8798] unto me, and be ye saved[03467][8734], all the ends[0657] of the earth[0776]: for I am God[0410], and there is none else.
48:19 I have sworn[07650][8738] by myself, the word[01697] is gone out[03318][8804] of my mouth[06310] in righteousness[06666], and shall not return[07725][8799], That unto me every knee[01290] shall bow[03766][8799], every tongue[03956] shall swear[07650][8735].
48:20 Surely, shall one say[0559][8804], in the LORD[03068] have I righteousness[06666] and strength[05797]: even to him shall men come[0935][8799]; and all that are incensed[02734][8737] against him shall be ashamed[0954][8799]. Surely...: or, Surely he shall say of me, In the LORD is all righteousness and strength righteousness: Heb. righteousnesses

48:22 Bel[01078] boweth down[03766][8804], Nebo[05015] stoopeth[07164][8802], their idols[06091] were upon the beasts[02416], and upon the cattle[0929]: your carriages[05385] were  heavy loaden[06006][8803]; they are  a burden[04853] to the weary[05889] beast .
49:1 They stoop[07164][8804], they bow down[03766][8804] together[03162]; they could[03201][8804] not deliver[04422][8763] the burden[04853], but themselves[05315] are gone[01980][8804] into captivity[07628]. themselves: Heb. their soul

49:3 And even to your old age[02209] I am he; and even to hoar hairs[07872] will I carry[05445][8799] you : I have made[06213][8804], and I will bear[05375][8799]; even I will carry[05445][8799], and will deliver[04422][8762] you .
49:4 To whom will ye liken[01819][8762] me, and make me equal[07737][8686], and compare[04911][8686] me, that we may be like[01819][8799]?
49:5 They lavish[02107][8801] gold[02091] out of the bag[03599], and weigh[08254][8799] silver[03701] in the balance[07070], and hire[07936][8799] a goldsmith[06884][8802]; and he maketh[06213][8799] it a god[0410]: they fall down[05456][8799], yea, they worship[07812][8691].
49:6 They bear[05375][8799] him upon the shoulder[03802], they carry[05445][8799] him, and set him in his place[03240][8686], and he standeth[05975][8799]; from his place[04725] shall he not remove[04185][8686]: yea, one  shall cry[06817][8799] unto him, yet can he not answer[06030][8799], nor save[03467][8686] him out of his trouble[06869].
49:7 Remember[02142][8798] this, and shew yourselves men[0377][8695]: bring it again[07725][8685] to mind[03820], O ye transgressors[06586][8802].
49:8 Remember[02142][8798] the former things[07223] of old[05769]: for I am God[0410], and there is none else; I am God[0430], and there is none[0657] like[03644] me,
49:9 Declaring[05046][8688] the end[0319] from the beginning[07225], and from ancient times[06924] the things that are not yet done[06213][8738], saying[0559][8802], My counsel[06098] shall stand[06965][8799], and I will do[06213][8799] all my pleasure[02656]:

49:13 Come down[03381][8798], and sit[03427][8798] in the dust[06083], O virgin[01330] daughter[01323] of Babylon[0894], sit[03427][8798] on the ground[0776]: there is no throne[03678], O daughter[01323] of the Chaldeans[03778]: for thou shalt no more[03254][8686] be called[07121][8799] tender[07390] and delicate[06028].

49:18 I was wroth[07107][8804] with my people[05971], I have polluted[02490][8765] mine inheritance[05159], and given[05414][8799] them into thine hand[03027]: thou didst shew[07760][8804] them no mercy[07356]; upon the ancient[02205] hast thou very[03966] heavily[03513][8689] laid thy yoke[05923].
49:19 And thou saidst[0559][8799], I shall be a lady[01404] for ever[05769]: so that thou didst not lay[07760][8804] these things to thy heart[03820], neither didst remember[02142][8804] the latter end[0319] of it.
49:20 Therefore hear[08085][8798] now this, thou that art given to pleasures[05719], that dwellest[03427][8802] carelessly[0983], that sayest[0559][8802] in thine heart[03824], I am , and none else[0657] beside me; I shall not sit[03427][8799] as a widow[0490], neither shall I know[03045][8799] the loss of children[07908]:
49:21 But these two[08147] things shall come[0935][8799] to thee in a moment[07281] in one[0259] day[03117], the loss of children[07908], and widowhood[0489]: they shall come[0935][8804] upon thee in their perfection[08537] for the multitude[07230] of thy sorceries[03785], and for the great[03966] abundance[06109] of thine enchantments[02267].
49:22 For thou hast trusted[0982][8799] in thy wickedness[07451]: thou hast said[0559][8804], None seeth[07200][8802] me. Thy wisdom[02451] and thy knowledge[01847], it hath perverted[07725][8790] thee; and thou hast said[0559][8799] in thine heart[03820], I am , and none else[0657] beside me. perverted...: or, caused thee to turn away
49:23 Therefore shall evil[07451] come[0935][8804] upon thee; thou shalt not know[03045][8799] from whence it riseth[07837]: and mischief[01943] shall fall[05307][8799] upon thee; thou shalt not be able[03201][8799] to put it off[03722][8763]: and desolation[07722] shall come[0935][8799] upon thee suddenly[06597], which thou shalt not know[03045][8799]. from...: Heb. the morning thereof put: Heb. expiate
49:24 Stand[05975][8798] now with thine enchantments[02267], and with the multitude[07230] of thy sorceries[03785], wherein[0834] thou hast laboured[03021][8804] from thy youth[05271]; if so be thou shalt be able[03201][8799] to profit[03276][8687], if so be thou mayest prevail[06206][8799].
49:25 Thou art wearied[03811][8738] in the multitude[07230] of thy counsels[06098]. Let now the astrologers[01895][8802][08064], the stargazers[02374][03556], the monthly[02320] prognosticators[03045][8688], stand up[05975][8799], and save[03467][8686] thee from these things that shall come[0935][8799] upon thee. astrologers: Heb. viewers of the heavens the monthly...: Heb. that give knowledge concerning the months
49:26 Behold, they shall be as stubble[07179]; the fire[0784] shall burn[08313][8804] them; they shall not deliver[05337][8686] themselves[05315] from the power[03027] of the flame[03852]: there shall not be a coal[01513] to warm[02552][8800] at, nor fire[0217] to sit[03427][8800] before it. themselves: Heb. their souls

50:2 Hear[08085][8798] ye this, O house[01004] of Jacob[03290], which are called[07121][8737] by the name[08034] of Israel[03478], and are come forth[03318][8804] out of the waters[04325] of Judah[03063], which swear[07650][8737] by the name[08034] of the LORD[03068], and make mention[02142][8686] of the God[0430] of Israel[03478], but not in truth[0571], nor in righteousness[06666].
50:3 For they call[07121][8738] themselves of the holy[06944] city[05892], and stay[05564][8738] themselves upon the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; The LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] is his name[08034].
50:4 I have declared[05046][8689] the former things[07223] from the beginning[0227]; and they went forth[03318][8804] out of my mouth[06310], and I shewed[08085][8686] them; I did[06213][8804] them suddenly[06597], and they came to pass[0935][8799].
50:5 Because I knew[01847] that thou art obstinate[07186], and thy neck[06203] is an iron[01270] sinew[01517], and thy brow[04696] brass[05154]; obstinate: Heb. hard
50:6 I have even from the beginning[0227] declared[05046][8686] it to thee; before it came to pass[0935][8799] I shewed[08085][8689] it thee: lest thou shouldest say[0559][8799], Mine idol[06090] hath done[06213][8804] them, and my graven image[06459], and my molten image[05262], hath commanded[06680][8765] them.
50:7 Thou hast heard[08085][8804], see[02372][8798] all this; and will not ye declare[05046][8686] it ? I have shewed[08085][8689] thee new things[02319] from this time[06258], even hidden things[05341][8803], and thou didst not know[03045][8804] them.
50:8 They are created[01254][8738] now, and not from the beginning; even before[06440] the day[03117] when thou heardest[08085][8804] them not; lest thou shouldest say[0559][8799], Behold, I knew[03045][8804] them.
50:9 Yea, thou heardest[08085][8804] not; yea, thou knewest[03045][8804] not; yea, from that time that thine ear[0241] was not opened[06605][8765]: for I knew[03045][8804] that thou wouldest deal very[0898][8800] treacherously[0898][8799], and wast called[07121][8795] a transgressor[06586][8802] from the womb[0990].
50:10 For my name's[08034] sake will I defer[0748][8686] mine anger[0639], and for my praise[08416] will I refrain[02413][8799] for thee, that I cut thee not off[03772][8687].
50:11 Behold, I have refined[06884][8804] thee, but not with silver[03701]; I have chosen[0977][8804] thee in the furnace[03564] of affliction[06040]. with...: or, for silver
51:1 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do[06213][8799] it : for how should my name be polluted[02490][8735]? and I will not give[05414][8799] my glory[03519] unto another[0312].
51:2 Hearken[08085][8798] unto me, O Jacob[03290] and Israel[03478], my called[07121][8794]; I am he; I am the first[07223], I also am the last[0314].
51:3 Mine hand[03027] also hath laid the foundation[03245][8804] of the earth[0776], and my right hand[03225] hath spanned[02946][8765] the heavens[08064]: when I call[07121][8802] unto them, they stand up[05975][8799] together[03162]. my...: or, the palm of my right hand hath spread out
51:4 All ye, assemble[06908][8734] yourselves, and hear[08085][8798]; which among them hath declared[05046][8689] these things ? The LORD[03068] hath loved[0157][8804] him: he will do[06213][8799] his pleasure[02656] on Babylon[0894], and his arm[02220] shall be on the Chaldeans[03778].
51:5 I, even I, have spoken[01696][8765]; yea, I have called[07121][8804] him: I have brought[0935][8689] him, and he shall make his way[01870] prosperous[06743][8689].
51:6 Come[07126][8798] ye near[07126][8798] unto me, hear[08085][8798] ye this; I have not spoken[01696][8765] in secret[05643] from the beginning[07218]; from the time[06256] that it was, there am I: and now the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], and his Spirit[07307], hath sent[07971][8804] me.
51:7 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], thy Redeemer[01350][8802], the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478]; I am the LORD[03068] thy God[0430] which teacheth[03925][8764] thee to profit[03276][8687], which leadeth[01869][8688] thee by the way[01870] that thou shouldest go[03212][8799].
51:8 O that[03863] thou hadst hearkened[07181][8689] to my commandments[04687]! then had thy peace[07965] been as a river[05104], and thy righteousness[06666] as the waves[01530] of the sea[03220]:
51:9 Thy seed[02233] also had been as the sand[02344], and the offspring[06631] of thy bowels[04578] like the gravel[04579] thereof; his name[08034] should not have been cut off[03772][8735] nor destroyed[08045][8735] from before[06440] me.
51:10 Go ye forth[03318][8798] of Babylon[0894], flee[01272][8798] ye from the Chaldeans[03778], with a voice[06963] of singing[07440] declare[05046][8685] ye, tell[08085][8685] this, utter[03318][8685] it even to the end[07097] of the earth[0776]; say[0559][8798] ye, The LORD[03068] hath redeemed[01350][8804] his servant[05650] Jacob[03290].
51:11 And they thirsted[06770][8804] not when he led[03212][8689] them through the deserts[02723]: he caused the waters[04325] to flow[05140][8689] out of the rock[06697] for them: he clave[01234][8799] the rock[06697] also, and the waters[04325] gushed out[02100][8799].
51:12 There is no peace[07965], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], unto the wicked[07563].

51:14 And he hath made[07760][8799] my mouth[06310] like a sharp[02299] sword[02719]; in the shadow[06738] of his hand[03027] hath he hid[02244][8689] me, and made[07760][8799] me a polished[01305][8803] shaft[02671]; in his quiver[0827] hath he hid[05641][8689] me;

53:2 Wherefore, when I came[0935][8804], was there no man[0376]? when I called[07121][8804], was there none to answer[06030][8802]? Is my hand[03027] shortened[07114][8804] at all[07114][8800], that it cannot redeem[06304]? or have I no power[03581] to deliver[05337][8687]? behold, at my rebuke[01606] I dry up[02717][8686] the sea[03220], I make[07760][8799] the rivers[05104] a wilderness[04057]: their fish[01710] stinketh[0887][8799], because there is no water[04325], and dieth[04191][8799] for thirst[06772].
53:3 I clothe[03847][8686] the heavens[08064] with blackness[06940], and I make[07760][8799] sackcloth[08242] their covering[03682].
53:4 The Lord[0136] GOD[03069] hath given[05414][8804] me the tongue[03956] of the learned[03928], that I should know[03045][8800] how to speak[05790][8800] a word[01697] in season to him that is weary[03287]: he wakeneth[05782][8686] morning[01242] by morning[01242], he wakeneth[05782][8686] mine ear[0241] to hear[08085][8800] as the learned[03928].
53:5 The Lord[0136] GOD[03069] hath opened[06605][8804] mine ear[0241], and I was not rebellious[04784][8804], neither turned away[05472][8738] back[0268].
53:6 I gave[05414][8804] my back[01460] to the smiters[05221][8688], and my cheeks[03895] to them that plucked off[04803][8802] the hair: I hid[05641][8689] not my face[06440] from shame[03639] and spitting[07536].
53:7 For the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] will help[05826][8799] me; therefore shall I not be confounded[03637][8738]: therefore have I set[07760][8804] my face[06440] like a flint[02496], and I know[03045][8799] that I shall not be ashamed[0954][8799].
53:8 He is near[07138] that justifieth[06663][8688] me; who will contend[07378][8799] with me? let us stand[05975][8799] together[03162]: who is mine adversary[01167][04941]? let him come near[05066][8799] to me. mine...: Heb. the master of my cause?
53:9 Behold, the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] will help[05826][8799] me; who is he that shall condemn[07561][8686] me? lo, they all shall wax old[01086][8799] as a garment[0899]; the moth[06211] shall eat them up[0398][8799].
53:10 Who is among you that feareth[03373] the LORD[03068], that obeyeth[08085][8802] the voice[06963] of his servant[05650], that walketh[01980][8804] in darkness[02825], and hath no light[05051]? let him trust[0982][8799] in the name[08034] of the LORD[03068], and stay[08172][8735] upon his God[0430].
53:11 Behold, all ye that kindle[06919][8802] a fire[0784], that compass yourselves about[0247][8764] with sparks[02131]: walk[03212][8798] in the light[0217] of your fire[0784], and in the sparks[02131] that ye have kindled[01197][8765]. This shall ye have of mine hand[03027]; ye shall lie down[07901][8799] in sorrow[04620].
53:12 Hearken[08085][8798] to me, ye that follow after[07291][8802] righteousness[06664], ye that seek[01245][8764] the LORD[03068]: look[05027][8685] unto the rock[06697] whence  ye are hewn[02672][8795], and to the hole[04718] of the pit[0953] whence ye are digged[05365][8795].
54:1 Look[05027][8685] unto Abraham[085] your father[01], and unto Sarah[08283] that bare[02342][8787] you: for I called[07121][8804] him alone[0259], and blessed[01288][8762] him, and increased[07235][8686] him.
54:2 For the LORD[03068] shall comfort[05162][8765] Zion[06726]: he will comfort[05162][8765] all her waste places[02723]; and he will make[07760][8799] her wilderness[04057] like Eden[05731], and her desert[06160] like the garden[01588] of the LORD[03068]; joy[08342] and gladness[08057] shall be found[04672][8735] therein, thanksgiving[08426], and the voice[06963] of melody[02172].
54:3 Hearken[07181][8685] unto me, my people[05971]; and give ear[0238][8685] unto me, O my nation[03816]: for a law[08451] shall proceed[03318][8799] from me, and I will make my judgment[04941] to rest[07280][8686] for a light[0216] of the people[05971].
54:4 My righteousness[06664] is near[07138]; my salvation[03468] is gone forth[03318][8804], and mine arms[02220] shall judge[08199][8799] the people[05971]; the isles[0339] shall wait[06960][8762] upon me, and on mine arm[02220] shall they trust[03176][8762].
54:5 Lift up[05375][8798] your eyes[05869] to the heavens[08064], and look[05027][8685] upon the earth[0776] beneath: for the heavens[08064] shall vanish away[04414][8738] like smoke[06227], and the earth[0776] shall wax old[01086][8799] like a garment[0899], and they that dwell[03427][8802] therein shall die[04191][8799] in like[03644] manner[03654]: but my salvation[03444] shall be for ever[05769], and my righteousness[06666] shall not be abolished[02865][8735].
54:6 Hearken[08085][8798] unto me, ye that know[03045][8802] righteousness[06664], the people[05971] in whose heart[03820] is my law[08451]; fear[03372][8799] ye not the reproach[02781] of men[0582], neither be ye afraid[02865][8735] of their revilings[01421].
54:7 For the moth[06211] shall eat them up[0398][8799] like a garment[0899], and the worm[05580] shall eat[0398][8799] them like wool[06785]: but my righteousness[06666] shall be for ever[05769], and my salvation[03444] from generation[01755] to generation[01755].
54:8 Awake[05782][8798], awake[05782][8798], put on[03847][8798] strength[05797], O arm[02220] of the LORD[03068]; awake[05782][8798], as in the ancient[06924] days[03117], in the generations[01755] of old[05769]. Art  thou not it that hath cut[02672][8688] Rahab[07294], and wounded[02490][8781] the dragon[08577]?
54:9 Art thou not it which hath dried[02717][8688] the sea[03220], the waters[04325] of the great[07227] deep[08415]; that hath made[07760][8804] the depths[04615] of the sea[03220] a way[01870] for the ransomed[01350][8803] to pass over[05674][8800]?
54:10 Therefore the redeemed[06299][8803] of the LORD[03068] shall return[07725][8799], and come[0935][8804] with singing[07440] unto Zion[06726]; and everlasting[05769] joy[08057] shall be upon their head[07218]: they shall obtain[05381][8686] gladness[08342] and joy[08057]; and sorrow[03015] and mourning[0585] shall flee away[05127][8804].
54:11 I, even I, am he that comforteth[05162][8764] you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid[03372][8799] of a man[0582] that shall die[04191][8799], and of the son[01121] of man[0120]  which shall be made[05414][8735] as grass[02682];
54:12 And forgettest[07911][8799] the LORD[03068] thy maker[06213][8802], that hath stretched forth[05186][8802] the heavens[08064], and laid the foundations[03245][8801] of the earth[0776]; and hast feared[06342][8762] continually[08548] every day[03117] because[06440] of the fury[02534] of the oppressor[06693][8688], as if[0834] he were ready[03559][8790] to destroy[07843][8687]? and where is the fury[02534] of the oppressor[06693][8688]? were...: or, made himself ready
54:13 The captive exile[06808][8802] hasteneth[04116][8765] that he may be loosed[06605][8736], and that he should not die[04191][8799] in the pit[07845], nor that his bread[03899] should fail[02637][8799].
54:14 But I am the LORD[03068] thy God[0430], that divided[07280][8802] the sea[03220], whose waves[01530] roared[01993][8799]: The LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] is his name[08034].
54:15 And I have put[07760][8799] my words[01697] in thy mouth[06310], and I have covered[03680][8765] thee in the shadow[06738] of mine hand[03027], that I may plant[05193][8800] the heavens[08064], and lay the foundations[03245][8800] of the earth[0776], and say[0559][8800] unto Zion[06726], Thou art my people[05971].
54:16 Awake[05782][8708], awake[05782][8708], stand up[06965][8798], O Jerusalem[03389], which hast drunk[08354][8804] at the hand[03027] of the LORD[03068] the cup[03563] of his fury[02534]; thou hast drunken[08354][8804] the dregs[06907] of the cup[03563] of trembling[08653], and wrung them out[04680][8804].
54:17 There is none to guide[05095][8764] her among all the sons[01121] whom she hath brought forth[03205][8804]; neither is there any that taketh[02388][8688] her by the hand[03027] of all the sons[01121] that she hath brought up[01431][8765].
55:1 These two[08147] things are come[07122][8802] unto thee; who shall be sorry[05110][8799] for thee? desolation[07701], and destruction[07667], and the famine[07458], and the sword[02719]: by whom shall I comfort[05162][8762] thee? are...: Heb. happened destruction: Heb. breaking
55:2 Thy sons[01121] have fainted[05968][8795], they lie[07901][8804] at the head[07218] of all the streets[02351], as a wild bull[08377] in a net[04364]: they are full[04392] of the fury[02534] of the LORD[03068], the rebuke[01606] of thy God[0430].
55:3 Therefore hear[08085][8798] now this, thou afflicted[06041], and drunken[07937][8803], but not with wine[03196]:
55:4 Thus saith[0559][8804] thy Lord[0113] the LORD[03068], and thy God[0430] that pleadeth[07378][8799] the cause of his people[05971], Behold, I have taken out[03947][8804] of thine hand[03027] the cup[03563] of trembling[08653], even the dregs[06907] of the cup[03563] of my fury[02534]; thou shalt no more[03254][8686] drink it again[08354][8800]:
55:5 But I will put[07760][8804] it into the hand[03027] of them that afflict[03013][8688] thee; which have said[0559][8804] to thy soul[05315], Bow down[07812][8798], that we may go over[05674][8799]: and thou hast laid[07760][8799] thy body[01460] as the ground[0776], and as the street[02351], to them that went over[05674][8802].
55:6 Awake[05782][8798], awake[05782][8798]; put on[03847][8798] thy strength[05797], O Zion[06726]; put on[03847][8798] thy beautiful[08597] garments[0899], O Jerusalem[03389], the holy[06944] city[05892]: for henceforth there shall no more[03254][8686] come[0935][8799] into thee the uncircumcised[06189] and the unclean[02931].
55:7 Shake[05287][8690] thyself from the dust[06083]; arise[06965][8798], and sit down[03427][8798], O Jerusalem[03389]: loose[06605][8690] thyself from the bands[04147] of thy neck[06677], O captive[07628] daughter[01323] of Zion[06726].
55:8 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Ye have sold[04376][8738] yourselves for nought[02600]; and ye shall be redeemed[01350][8735] without money[03701].
55:9 For thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], My people[05971] went down[03381][8804] aforetime[07223] into Egypt[04714] to sojourn[01481][8800] there; and the Assyrian[0804] oppressed[06231][8804] them without cause[0657].
55:10 Now therefore, what have I here, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that my people[05971] is taken away[03947][8795] for nought[02600]? they that rule[04910][8802] over them make them to howl[03213][8686], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; and my name[08034] continually[08548] every day[03117] is blasphemed[05006][8711].
55:11 Therefore my people[05971] shall know[03045][8799] my name[08034]: therefore they shall know in that day[03117] that I am he that doth speak[01696][8764]: behold, it is I.
55:12 How beautiful[04998][8773] upon the mountains[02022] are the feet[07272] of him that bringeth good tidings[01319][8764], that publisheth[08085][8688] peace[07965]; that bringeth good tidings[01319][8764] of good[02896], that publisheth[08085][8688] salvation[03444]; that saith[0559][8802] unto Zion[06726], Thy God[0430] reigneth[04427][8804]!
55:13 Thy watchmen[06822][8802] shall lift up[05375][8804] the voice[06963]; with the voice[06963] together[03162] shall they sing[07442][8762]: for they shall see[07200][8799] eye[05869] to eye[05869], when the LORD[03068] shall bring again[07725][8800] Zion[06726].
56:1 Break forth into joy[06476][8798], sing[07442][8761] together[03162], ye waste places[02723] of Jerusalem[03389]: for the LORD[03068] hath comforted[05162][8765] his people[05971], he hath redeemed[01350][8804] Jerusalem[03389].
56:2 The LORD[03068] hath made bare[02834][8804] his holy[06944] arm[02220] in the eyes[05869] of all the nations[01471]; and all the ends[0657] of the earth[0776] shall see[07200][8804] the salvation[03444] of our God[0430].
56:3 Depart[05493][8798] ye, depart[05493][8798] ye, go ye out[03318][8798] from thence, touch[05060][8799] no unclean[02931] thing ; go ye out[03318][8798] of the midst[08432] of her; be ye clean[01305][8734], that bear[05375][8802] the vessels[03627] of the LORD[03068].
56:4 For ye shall not go out[03318][8799] with haste[02649], nor go[03212][8799] by flight[04499]: for the LORD[03068] will go[01980][8802] before[06440] you; and the God[0430] of Israel[03478] will be your rereward[0622][8764]. be...: Heb. gather you up
56:5 Behold, my servant[05650] shall deal prudently[07919][8686], he shall be exalted[07311][8799] and extolled[05375][8738], and be very[03966] high[01361][8804]. deal...: or, prosper
56:6 As many[07227] were astonied[08074][8804] at thee; his visage[04758] was so marred[04893] more than any man[0376], and his form[08389] more than the sons[01121] of men[0120]:
56:7 So shall he sprinkle[05137][8686] many[07227] nations[01471]; the kings[04428] shall shut[07092][8799] their mouths[06310] at him: for that which had not been told[05608][8795] them shall they see[07200][8804]; and that which they had not heard[08085][8804] shall they consider[0995][8712].
56:8 Who hath believed[0539][8689] our report[08052]? and to whom is the arm[02220] of the LORD[03068] revealed[01540][8738]? report: or, doctrine?: Heb. hearing?
56:9 For he shall grow up[05927][8799] before[06440] him as a tender plant[03126], and as a root[08328] out of a dry[06723] ground[0776]: he hath no form[08389] nor comeliness[01926]; and when we shall see[07200][8799] him,  there is no beauty[04758] that we should desire[02530][8799] him.
56:10 He is despised[0959][8737] and rejected[02310] of men[0376]; a man[0376] of sorrows[04341], and acquainted[03045][8803] with grief[02483]: and we hid as it were[04564][8688] our  faces[06440] from him; he was despised[0959][8737], and we esteemed[02803][8804] him not. we hid...: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us
56:11 Surely[0403] he hath borne[05375][8804] our griefs[02483], and carried[05445][8804] our sorrows[04341]: yet we did esteem[02803][8804] him stricken[05060][8803], smitten[05221][8716] of God[0430], and afflicted[06031][8794].
56:12 But he was wounded[02490][8775] for our transgressions[06588], he was bruised[01792][8794] for our iniquities[05771]: the chastisement[04148] of our peace[07965] was upon him; and with his stripes[02250] we are healed[07495][8738]. wounded: or, tormented stripes: Heb. bruise
57:1 All we like sheep[06629] have gone astray[08582][8804]; we have turned[06437][8804] every one[0376] to his own way[01870]; and the LORD[03068] hath laid[06293][8689] on him the iniquity[05771] of us all. laid...: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him
57:2 He was oppressed[05065][8738], and he was afflicted[06031][8737], yet he opened[06605][8799] not his mouth[06310]: he is brought[02986][8714] as a lamb[07716] to the slaughter[02874], and as a sheep[07353] before[06440] her shearers[01494][8802] is dumb[0481][8738], so he openeth[06605][8799] not his mouth[06310].
57:3 He was taken[03947][8795] from prison[06115] and from judgment[04941]: and who shall declare[07878][8787] his generation[01755]? for he was cut off[01504][8738] out of the land[0776] of the living[02416]: for the transgression[06588] of my people[05971] was he stricken[05061]. from prison...: or, away by distress and judgment: but, etc was he...: Heb. was the stroke upon him
57:4 And he made[05414][8799] his grave[06913] with the wicked[07563], and with the rich[06223] in his death[04194]; because he had done[06213][8804] no violence[02555], neither was any deceit[04820] in his mouth[06310]. death: Heb. deaths
57:5 Yet it pleased[02654][8804] the LORD[03068] to bruise[01792][8763] him; he hath put him to grief[02470][8689]: when thou shalt make[07760][8799] his soul[05315] an offering for sin[0817], he shall see[07200][8799] his seed[02233], he shall prolong[0748][8686] his days[03117], and the pleasure[02656] of the LORD[03068] shall prosper[06743][8799] in his hand[03027]. thou...: or, his soul shall make an offering
57:6 He shall see[07200][8799] of the travail[05999] of his soul[05315], and shall be satisfied[07646][8799]: by his knowledge[01847] shall my righteous[06662] servant[05650] justify[06663][8686] many[07227]; for he shall bear[05445][8799] their iniquities[05771].
57:7 Therefore will I divide[02505][8762] him a portion with the great[07227], and he shall divide[02505][8762] the spoil[07998] with the strong[06099]; because he hath poured out[06168][8689] his soul[05315] unto death[04194]: and he was numbered[04487][8738] with the transgressors[06586][8802]; and he bare[05375][8804] the sin[02399] of many[07227], and made intercession[06293][8686] for the transgressors[06586][8802].
57:8 Sing[07442][8798], O barren[06135], thou that didst not bear[03205][8804]; break forth[06476][8798] into singing[07440], and cry aloud[06670][8761], thou that didst not travail with child[02342][8804]: for more[07227] are the children[01121] of the desolate[08074][8802] than the children[01121] of the married wife[01166][8803], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068].
57:9 Enlarge[07337][8685] the place[04725] of thy tent[0168], and let them stretch forth[05186][8686] the curtains[03407] of thine habitations[04908]: spare[02820][8799] not, lengthen[0748][8685] thy cords[04340], and strengthen[02388][8761] thy stakes[03489];
57:10 For thou shalt break forth[06555][8799] on the right hand[03225] and on the left[08040]; and thy seed[02233] shall inherit[03423][8799] the Gentiles[01471], and make the desolate[08074][8737] cities[05892] to be inhabited[03427][8686].
57:11 Fear[03372][8799] not; for thou shalt not be ashamed[0954][8799]: neither be thou confounded[03637][8735]; for thou shalt not be put to shame[02659][8686]: for thou shalt forget[07911][8799] the shame[01322] of thy youth[05934], and shalt not remember[02142][8799] the reproach[02781] of thy widowhood[0491] any more.
57:12 For thy Maker[06213][8802] is thine husband[01166][8802]; the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] is his name[08034]; and thy Redeemer[01350][8802] the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478]; The God[0430] of the whole earth[0776] shall he be called[07121][8735]. Maker: Heb. Makers
57:13 For the LORD[03068] hath called[07121][8804] thee as a woman[0802] forsaken[05800][8803] and grieved[06087][8803] in spirit[07307], and a wife[0802] of youth[05271], when thou wast refused[03988][8735], saith[0559][8804] thy God[0430].
57:14 For a small[06996] moment[07281] have I forsaken[05800][8804] thee; but with great[01419] mercies[07356] will I gather[06908][8762] thee.
57:15 In a little[08241] wrath[07110] I hid[05641][8689] my face[06440] from thee for a moment[07281]; but with everlasting[05769] kindness[02617] will I have mercy[07355][8765] on thee, saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] thy Redeemer[01350][8802].
57:16 For this is as the waters[04325] of Noah[05146] unto me: for as I have sworn[07650][8738] that the waters[04325] of Noah[05146] should no more go over[05674][8800] the earth[0776]; so have I sworn[07650][8738] that I would not be wroth[07107][8800] with thee, nor rebuke[01605][8800] thee.
57:17 For the mountains[02022] shall depart[04185][8799], and the hills[01389] be removed[04131][8799]; but my kindness[02617] shall not depart[04185][8799] from thee, neither shall the covenant[01285] of my peace[07965] be removed[04131][8799], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] that hath mercy[07355][8764] on thee.
57:18 O thou afflicted[06041], tossed with tempest[05590][8802], and not comforted[05162][8794], behold, I will lay[07257][8688] thy stones[068] with fair colours[06320], and lay thy foundations[03245][8804] with sapphires[05601].
57:19 And I will make[07760][8804] thy windows[08121] of agates[03539], and thy gates[08179] of carbuncles[068][0688], and all thy borders[01366] of pleasant[02656] stones[068].
57:20 And all thy children[01121] shall be taught[03928] of the LORD[03068]; and great[07227] shall be the peace[07965] of thy children[01121].
57:21 In righteousness[06666] shalt thou be established[03559][8709]: thou shalt be far[07368][8798] from oppression[06233]; for thou shalt not fear[03372][8799]: and from terror[04288]; for it shall not come near[07126][8799] thee.
58:1 Behold, they shall surely[01481][8800] gather together[01481][8799], but not[0657] by me: whosoever[04310] shall gather together[01481][8804] against thee shall fall[05307][8799] for thy sake.
58:2 Behold, I have created[01254][8804] the smith[02796] that bloweth[05301][8802] the coals[06352] in the fire[0784], and that bringeth forth[03318][8688] an instrument[03627] for his work[04639]; and I have created[01254][8804] the waster[07843][8688] to destroy[02254][8763].
58:3 No weapon[03627] that is formed[03335][8714] against thee shall prosper[06743][8799]; and every tongue[03956] that shall rise[06965][8799] against thee in judgment[04941] thou shalt condemn[07561][8686]. This  is the heritage[05159] of the servants[05650] of the LORD[03068], and their righteousness[06666] is of me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
58:4 Ho[01945], every one that thirsteth[06771], come[03212][8798] ye to the waters[04325], and he that hath no money[03701]; come[03212][8798] ye, buy[07666][8798], and eat[0398][8798]; yea, come[03212][8798], buy[07666][8798] wine[03196] and milk[02461] without money[03701] and without price[04242].
58:5 Wherefore do ye spend[08254][8799] money[03701] for that which is not bread[03899]? and your labour[03018] for that which satisfieth[07654] not[03808]? hearken[08085][8798] diligently[08085][8800] unto me, and eat[0398][8798] ye that which is good[02896], and let your soul[05315] delight[06026][8691] itself in fatness[01880]. spend: Heb. weigh
58:6 Incline[05186][8685] your ear[0241], and come[03212][8798] unto me: hear[08085][8798], and your soul[05315] shall live[02421][8799]; and I will make[03772][8799] an everlasting[05769] covenant[01285] with you, even  the sure[0539][8737] mercies[02617] of David[01732].
58:7 Behold, I have given[05414][8804] him for a witness[05707] to the people[03816], a leader[05057] and commander[06680][8764] to the people[03816].
58:8 Behold, thou shalt call[07121][8799] a nation[01471] that thou knowest[03045][8799] not, and nations[01471] that knew[03045][8804] not thee shall run[07323][8799] unto thee because of the LORD[03068] thy God[0430], and for the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478]; for he hath glorified[06286][8765] thee.
58:9 Seek[01875][8798] ye the LORD[03068] while he may be found[04672][8736], call[07121][8798] ye upon him while he is near[07138]:
58:10 Let the wicked[07563] forsake[05800][8799] his way[01870], and the unrighteous[0205] man[0376] his thoughts[04284]: and let him return[07725][8799] unto the LORD[03068], and he will have mercy[07355][8762] upon him; and to our God[0430], for he will abundantly[07235][8686] pardon[05545][8800]. the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon
58:11 For my thoughts[04284] are not your thoughts[04284], neither are your ways[01870] my ways[01870], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
58:12 For as the heavens[08064] are higher[01361][8804] than the earth[0776], so are my ways[01870] higher[01361][8804] than your ways[01870], and my thoughts[04284] than your thoughts[04284].
58:13 For as the rain[01653] cometh down[03381][8799], and the snow[07950] from heaven[08064], and returneth[07725][8799] not thither, but watereth[07301][8689] the earth[0776], and maketh it bring forth[03205][8689] and bud[06779][8689], that it may give[05414][8804] seed[02233] to the sower[02232][8802], and bread[03899] to the eater[0398][8802]:
58:14 So shall my word[01697] be that goeth forth[03318][8799] out of my mouth[06310]: it shall not return[07725][8799] unto me void[07387], but it shall accomplish[06213][8804] that which I please[02654][8804], and it shall prosper[06743][8689] in the thing whereto I sent[07971][8804] it.
59:1 For ye shall go out[03318][8799] with joy[08057], and be led forth[02986][8714] with peace[07965]: the mountains[02022] and the hills[01389] shall break forth[06476][8799] before[06440] you into singing[07440], and all the trees[06086] of the field[07704] shall clap[04222][8799] their hands[03709].
59:2 Instead of the thorn[05285] shall come up[05927][8799] the fir tree[01265], and instead of the brier[05636] shall come up[05927][8799] the myrtle tree[01918]: and it shall be to the LORD[03068] for a name[08034], for an everlasting[05769] sign[0226] that shall not be cut off[03772][8735].
59:3 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Keep[08104][8798] ye judgment[04941], and do[06213][8798] justice[06666]: for my salvation[03444] is near[07138] to come[0935][8800], and my righteousness[06666] to be revealed[01540][8736]. judgment: or, equity
59:4 Blessed[0835] is the man[0582] that doeth[06213][8799] this, and the son[01121] of man[0120] that layeth hold[02388][8686] on it; that keepeth[08104][8802] the sabbath[07676] from polluting[02490][8763] it, and keepeth[08104][8802] his hand[03027] from doing[06213][8800] any evil[07451].
59:5 Neither let the son[01121] of the stranger[05236], that hath joined[03867][8738] himself to the LORD[03068], speak[0559][8799], saying[0559][8800], The LORD[03068] hath utterly[0914][8687] separated[0914][8686] me from his people[05971]: neither let the eunuch[05631] say[0559][8799], Behold, I am a dry[03002] tree[06086].
59:6 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] unto the eunuchs[05631] that keep[08104][8799] my sabbaths[07676], and choose[0977][8804] the things that please[02654][8804] me, and take hold[02388][8688] of my covenant[01285];
59:7 Even unto them will I give[05414][8804] in mine house[01004] and within my walls[02346] a place[03027] and a name[08034] better[02896] than of sons[01121] and of daughters[01323]: I will give[05414][8799] them an everlasting[05769] name[08034], that shall not be cut off[03772][8735].
59:8 Also the sons[01121] of the stranger[05236], that join[03867][8737] themselves to the LORD[03068], to serve[08334][8763] him, and to love[0157][8800] the name[08034] of the LORD[03068], to be his servants[05650], every one that keepeth[08104][8802] the sabbath[07676] from polluting[02490][8763] it, and taketh hold[02388][8688] of my covenant[01285];
59:9 Even them will I bring[0935][8689] to my holy[06944] mountain[02022], and make them joyful[08055][8765] in my house[01004] of prayer[08605]: their burnt offerings[05930] and their sacrifices[02077] shall be accepted[07522] upon mine altar[04196]; for mine house[01004] shall be called[07121][8735] an house[01004] of prayer[08605] for all people[05971].
59:10 The Lord[0136] GOD[03069] which gathereth[06908][8764] the outcasts[01760][8737] of Israel[03478] saith[05002][8803], Yet will I gather[06908][8762] others to him, beside those that are gathered[06908][8737] unto him. beside...: Heb. to his gathered

59:12 His watchmen[06822][8802] are blind[05787]: they are all ignorant[03045][8804], they are all dumb[0483] dogs[03611], they cannot[03201][8799] bark[05024][8800]; sleeping[01957][8802], lying down[07901][8802], loving[0157][8802] to slumber[05123][8800]. sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep

59:15 The righteous[06662] perisheth[06][8804], and no man[0376] layeth[07760][8802] it to heart[03820]: and merciful[02617] men[0582] are taken away[0622][8737], none considering[0995][8688] that the righteous[06662] is taken away[0622][8738] from[06440] the evil[07451] to come . merciful...: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness from...: or, from that which is evil

59:18 Against whom do ye sport[06026][8691] yourselves? against whom make ye a wide[07337][8686] mouth[06310], and draw out[0748][8686] the tongue[03956]? are ye not children[03206] of transgression[06588], a seed[02233] of falsehood[08267],

60:5 I will declare[05046][8686] thy righteousness[06666], and thy works[04639]; for they shall not profit[03276][8686] thee.
60:6 When thou criest[02199][8800], let thy companies[06899] deliver[05337][8686] thee; but the wind[07307] shall carry them all away[05375][8799]; vanity[01892] shall take[03947][8799] them : but he that putteth his trust[02620][8802] in me shall possess[05157][8799] the land[0776], and shall inherit[03423][8799] my holy[06944] mountain[02022];
60:7 And shall say[0559][8804], Cast ye up[05549][8798], cast ye up[05549][8798], prepare[06437][8761] the way[01870], take up[07311][8685] the stumblingblock[04383] out of the way[01870] of my people[05971].
60:8 For thus saith[0559][8804] the high[07311][8802] and lofty One[05375][8737] that inhabiteth[07931][8802] eternity[05703], whose name[08034] is Holy[06918]; I dwell[07931][8799] in the high[04791] and holy[06918] place , with him also that is of a contrite[01793] and humble[08217] spirit[07307], to revive[02421][8687] the spirit[07307] of the humble[08217], and to revive[02421][8687] the heart[03820] of the contrite ones[01792][8737].
60:9 For I will not contend[07378][8799] for ever[05769], neither will I be always[05331] wroth[07107][8799]: for the spirit[07307] should fail[05848][8799] before[06440] me, and the souls[05397] which I have made[06213][8804].
60:10 For the iniquity[05771] of his covetousness[01215] was I wroth[07107][8804], and smote[05221][8686] him: I hid[05641][8687] me, and was wroth[07107][8799], and he went on[03212][8799] frowardly[07726] in the way[01870] of his heart[03820]. frowardly: Heb. turning away
60:11 I have seen[07200][8804] his ways[01870], and will heal[07495][8799] him: I will lead[05148][8686] him also, and restore[07999][8762] comforts[05150] unto him and to his mourners[057].
60:12 I create[01254][8802] the fruit[05108] of the lips[08193]; Peace[07965], peace[07965] to him that is far off[07350], and to him that is near[07138], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; and I will heal[07495][8804] him.
60:13 But the wicked[07563] are like the troubled[01644][8737] sea[03220], when it cannot[03201][8799] rest[08252][8687], whose waters[04325] cast up[01644][8799] mire[07516] and dirt[02916].
60:14 There is no peace[07965], saith[0559][8804] my God[0430], to the wicked[07563].
60:15 Cry[07121][8798] aloud[01627], spare[02820][8799] not, lift[07311][8685] up thy voice[06963] like a trumpet[07782], and shew[05046][8685] my people[05971] their transgression[06588], and the house[01004] of Jacob[03290] their sins[02403]. aloud: Heb. with the throat
60:16 Yet they seek[01875][8799] me daily[03117][03117], and delight[02654][8799] to know[01847] my ways[01870], as a nation[01471] that did[06213][8804] righteousness[06666], and forsook[05800][8804] not the ordinance[04941] of their God[0430]: they ask[07592][8799] of me the ordinances[04941] of justice[06664]; they take delight[02654][8799] in approaching[07132] to God[0430].
60:17 Wherefore have we fasted[06684][8804], say they , and thou seest[07200][8804] not? wherefore have we afflicted[06031][8765] our soul[05315], and thou takest no knowledge[03045][8799]? Behold, in the day[03117] of your fast[06685] ye find[04672][8799] pleasure[02656], and exact[05065][8799] all your labours[06092]. labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs
60:18 Behold, ye fast[06684][8799] for strife[07379] and debate[04683], and to smite[05221][8687] with the fist[0106] of wickedness[07562]: ye shall not fast[06684][8799] as ye do this  day[03117], to make your voice[06963] to be heard[08085][8687] on high[04791]. ye shall...: or, ye fast not as this day
60:19 Is it such a fast[06685] that I have chosen[0977][8799]? a day[03117] for a man[0120] to afflict[06031][8763] his soul[05315]? is it to bow down[03721][8800] his head[07218] as a bulrush[0100], and to spread[03331][8686] sackcloth[08242] and ashes[0665] under him ? wilt thou call[07121][8799] this[02088] a fast[06685], and an acceptable[07522] day[03117] to the LORD[03068]? a day...: or, to afflict his soul for a day?
60:20 Is not this the fast[06685] that I have chosen[0977][8799]? to loose[06605][8763] the bands[02784] of wickedness[07562], to undo[05425][8687] the heavy[04133] burdens[092], and to let the oppressed[07533][8803] go[07971][8763] free[02670], and that ye break[05423][8762] every yoke[04133]? the heavy...: Heb. the bundles of the yoke oppressed: Heb. broken
60:21 Is it not to deal[06536][8800] thy bread[03899] to the hungry[07457], and that thou bring[0935][8686] the poor[06041] that are cast out[04788] to thy house[01004]? when thou seest[07200][8799] the naked[06174], that thou cover[03680][8765] him; and that thou hide[05956][8691] not thyself from thine own flesh[01320]? cast...: or, afflicted
60:22 Then shall thy light[0216] break forth[01234][8735] as the morning[07837], and thine health[0724] shall spring forth[06779][8799] speedily[04120]: and thy righteousness[06664] shall go[01980][8804] before[06440] thee; the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] shall be thy rereward[0622][8799]. be...: Heb. gather thee up
61:1 Then shalt thou call[07121][8799], and the LORD[03068] shall answer[06030][8799]; thou shalt cry[07768][8762], and he shall say[0559][8799], Here I am . If thou take away[05493][8686] from the midst[08432] of thee the yoke[04133], the putting forth[07971][8800] of the finger[0676], and speaking[01696][8763] vanity[0205];
61:2 And if thou draw out[06329][8686] thy soul[05315] to the hungry[07457], and satisfy[07646][8686] the afflicted[06031][8737] soul[05315]; then shall thy light[0216] rise[02224][8804] in obscurity[02822], and thy darkness[0653] be as the noonday[06672]:
61:3 And the LORD[03068] shall guide[05148][8804] thee continually[08548], and satisfy[07646][8689] thy soul[05315] in drought[06710], and make fat[02502][8686] thy bones[06106]: and thou shalt be like a watered[07302] garden[01588], and like a spring[04161] of water[04325], whose waters[04325] fail[03576][8762] not. drought: Heb. droughts fail: Heb. lie, or, deceive
61:4 And they that shall be of thee shall build[01129][8804] the old[05769] waste places[02723]: thou shalt raise up[06965][8787] the foundations[04146] of many[01755] generations[01755]; and thou shalt be called[07121][8795], The repairer[01443][8802] of the breach[06556], The restorer[07725][8789] of paths[05410] to dwell in[03427][8800].
61:5 If thou turn away[07725][8686] thy foot[07272] from the sabbath[07676], from doing[06213][8800] thy pleasure[02656] on my holy[06944] day[03117]; and call[07121][8804] the sabbath[07676] a delight[06027], the holy[06918] of the LORD[03068], honourable[03513][8794]; and shalt honour[03513][8765] him, not doing[06213][8800] thine own ways[01870], nor finding[04672][8800] thine own pleasure[02656], nor speaking[01696][8763] thine own  words[01697]:
61:6 Then shalt thou delight[06026][8691] thyself in the LORD[03068]; and I will cause thee to ride[07392][8689] upon the high places[01116] of the earth[0776], and feed[0398][8689] thee with the heritage[05159] of Jacob[03290] thy father[01]: for the mouth[06310] of the LORD[03068] hath spoken[01696][8765] it .
61:7 Behold[02005], the LORD'S[03068] hand[03027] is not shortened[07114][8804], that it cannot save[03467][8687]; neither his ear[0241] heavy[03513][8804], that it cannot hear[08085][8800]:
61:8 But your iniquities[05771] have separated[0914][8688] between[0996] you and your God[0430], and your sins[02403] have hid[05641][8689] his face[06440] from you, that he will not hear[08085][8800]. have hid: or, have made him hide
61:9 For your hands[03709] are defiled[01351][8738] with blood[01818], and your fingers[0676] with iniquity[05771]; your lips[08193] have spoken[01696][8765] lies[08267], your tongue[03956] hath muttered[01897][8799] perverseness[05766].
61:10 None calleth[07121][8802] for justice[06664], nor any pleadeth[08199][8737] for truth[0530]: they trust[0982][8800] in vanity[08414], and speak[01696][8763] lies[07723]; they conceive[02029][8800] mischief[05999], and bring forth[03205][8687] iniquity[0205].
61:11 They hatch[01234][8765] cockatrice[06848]' eggs[01000], and weave[0707][8799] the spider's[05908] web[06980]: he that eateth[0398][8802] of their eggs[01000] dieth[04191][8799], and that which is crushed[02116] breaketh out[01234][8735] into a viper[0660]. cockatrice': or, adder's crushed...: or, sprinkled is as if there brake out a viper
62:1 Their webs[06980] shall not become garments[0899], neither shall they cover[03680][8691] themselves with their works[04639]: their works[04639] are works[04639] of iniquity[0205], and the act[06467] of violence[02555] is in their hands[03709].
62:2 Their feet[07272] run[07323][8799] to evil[07451], and they make haste[04116][8762] to shed[08210][8800] innocent[05355] blood[01818]: their thoughts[04284] are thoughts[04284] of iniquity[0205]; wasting[07701] and destruction[07667] are in their paths[04546]. destruction: Heb. breaking
62:3 The way[01870] of peace[07965] they know[03045][8804] not; and there is no judgment[04941] in their goings[04570]: they have made them crooked[06140][8765] paths[05410]: whosoever goeth[01869][8802] therein shall not know[03045][8804] peace[07965]. judgment: or, right
62:4 Therefore is judgment[04941] far[07368][8804] from us, neither doth justice[06666] overtake[05381][8686] us: we wait[06960][8762] for light[0216], but behold obscurity[02822]; for brightness[05054], but we walk[01980][8762] in darkness[0653].
62:5 We grope[01659][8762] for the wall[07023] like the blind[05787], and we grope[01659][8762] as if we had no eyes[05869]: we stumble[03782][8804] at noonday[06672] as in the night[05399]; we are in desolate[0820] places as dead[04191][8801] men .
62:6 We roar[01993][8799] all like bears[01677], and mourn[01897][8799] sore[01897][8800] like doves[03123]: we look[06960][8762] for judgment[04941], but there is none; for salvation[03444], but it is far off[07368][8804] from us.
62:7 For our transgressions[06588] are multiplied[07231][8804] before thee, and our sins[02403] testify[06030][8804] against us: for our transgressions[06588] are with us; and as for our iniquities[05771], we know[03045][8804] them;
62:8 In transgressing[06586][8800] and lying[03584][8763] against the LORD[03068], and departing away[05253][8800] from[0310] our God[0430], speaking[01696][8763] oppression[06233] and revolt[05627], conceiving[02029][8780] and uttering[01897][8774] from the heart[03820] words[01697] of falsehood[08267].
62:9 And judgment[04941] is turned away[05253][8717] backward[0268], and justice[06666] standeth[05975][8799] afar off[07350]: for truth[0571] is fallen[03782][8804] in the street[07339], and equity[05229] cannot[03201][8799] enter[0935][8800].
62:10 Yea, truth[0571] faileth[05737][8737]; and he that departeth[05493][8804] from evil[07451] maketh himself a prey[07997][8711]: and the LORD[03068] saw[07200][8799] it , and it displeased[03415][8799][05869] him that there was no judgment[04941]. maketh...: or, is accounted mad it displeased...: Heb. it was evil in his eyes
62:11 And he saw[07200][8799] that there was no man[0376], and wondered[08074][8709] that there was no intercessor[06293][8688]: therefore his arm[02220] brought salvation[03467][8686] unto him; and his righteousness[06666], it sustained[05564][8804] him.
62:12 For he put on[03847][8799] righteousness[06666] as a breastplate[08302], and an helmet[03553] of salvation[03444] upon his head[07218]; and he put on[03847][8799] the garments[0899] of vengeance[05359] for clothing[08516], and was clad[05844][8799] with zeal[07068] as a cloke[04598].
63:1 According to[05921] their deeds[01578], accordingly he will repay[07999][8762], fury[02534] to his adversaries[06862], recompence[01576] to his enemies[0341][8802]; to the islands[0339] he will repay[07999][8762] recompence[01576]. deeds: Heb. recompences
63:2 So shall they fear[03372][8799] the name[08034] of the LORD[03068] from the west[04628], and his glory[03519] from the rising[04217] of the sun[08121]. When the enemy[06862] shall come in[0935][8799] like a flood[05104], the Spirit[07307] of the LORD[03068] shall lift up a standard[05127][8790] against him. lift...: or, put him to flight
63:3 And the Redeemer[01350][8802] shall come[0935][8804] to Zion[06726], and unto them that turn[07725][8802] from transgression[06588] in Jacob[03290], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
63:4 As for me, this is my covenant[01285] with them, saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; My spirit[07307] that is upon thee, and my words[01697] which I have put[07760][8804] in thy mouth[06310], shall not depart[04185][8799] out of thy mouth[06310], nor out of the mouth[06310] of thy seed[02233], nor out of the mouth[06310] of thy seed's[02233] seed[02233], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], from henceforth and for[05704] ever[05769].
63:5 Arise[06965][8798], shine[0215][8798]; for thy light[0216] is come[0935][8804], and the glory[03519] of the LORD[03068] is risen[02224][8804] upon thee. shine...: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh
63:6 For, behold, the darkness[02822] shall cover[03680][8762] the earth[0776], and gross darkness[06205] the people[03816]: but the LORD[03068] shall arise[02224][8799] upon thee, and his glory[03519] shall be seen[07200][8735] upon thee.
63:7 And the Gentiles[01471] shall come[01980][8804] to thy light[0216], and kings[04428] to the brightness[05051] of thy rising[02225].
63:8 Lift up[05375][8798] thine eyes[05869] round about[05439], and see[07200][8798]: all they gather themselves together[06908][8738], they come[0935][8804] to thee: thy sons[01121] shall come[0935][8799] from far[07350], and thy daughters[01323] shall be nursed[0539][8735] at thy side[06654].
63:9 Then thou shalt see[07200][8799][8675][03372][8799], and flow together[05102][8804], and thine heart[03824] shall fear[06342][8804], and be enlarged[07337][8804]; because the abundance[01995] of the sea[03220] shall be converted[02015][8735] unto thee, the forces[02428] of the Gentiles[01471] shall come[0935][8799] unto thee. abundance...: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward thee forces: or, wealth

63:11 All the flocks[06629] of Kedar[06938] shall be gathered together[06908][8735] unto thee, the rams[0352] of Nebaioth[05032] shall minister[08334][8762] unto thee: they shall come up[05927][8799] with acceptance[07522] on mine altar[04196], and I will glorify[06286][8762] the house[01004] of my glory[08597].
63:12 Who are these that fly[05774][8799] as a cloud[05645], and as the doves[03123] to their windows[0699]?
63:13 Surely the isles[0339] shall wait[06960][8762] for me, and the ships[0591] of Tarshish[08659] first[07223], to bring[0935][8687] thy sons[01121] from far[07350], their silver[03701] and their gold[02091] with them, unto the name[08034] of the LORD[03068] thy God[0430], and to the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478], because he hath glorified[06286][8765] thee.
63:14 And the sons[01121] of strangers[05236] shall build up[01129][8804] thy walls[02346], and their kings[04428] shall minister[08334][8762] unto thee: for in my wrath[07110] I smote[05221][8689] thee, but in my favour[07522] have I had mercy[07355][8765] on thee.
63:15 Therefore thy gates[08179] shall be open[06605][8765] continually[08548]; they shall not be shut[05462][8735] day[03119] nor night[03915]; that men may bring[0935][8687] unto thee the forces[02428] of the Gentiles[01471], and that their kings[04428] may be brought[05090][8803]. forces: or, wealth
63:16 For the nation[01471] and kingdom[04467] that will not serve[05647][8799] thee shall perish[06][8799]; yea, those nations[01471] shall be utterly[02717][8800] wasted[02717][8799].
63:17 The glory[03519] of Lebanon[03844] shall come[0935][8799] unto thee, the fir tree[01265], the pine tree[08410], and the box[08391] together[03162], to beautify[06286][8763] the place[04725] of my sanctuary[04720]; and I will make the place[04725] of my feet[07272] glorious[03513][8762].
63:18 The sons[01121] also of them that afflicted[06031][8764] thee shall come[01980][8804] bending[07817][8800] unto thee; and all they that despised[05006][8764] thee shall bow themselves down[07812][8694] at the soles[03709] of thy feet[07272]; and they shall call[07121][8804] thee, The city[05892] of the LORD[03068], The Zion[06726] of the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478].
63:19 Whereas[08478] thou hast been forsaken[05800][8803] and hated[08130][8803], so that no man went through[05674][8802] thee , I will make[07760][8804] thee an eternal[05769] excellency[01347], a joy[04885] of many[01755] generations[01755].
64:1 Thou shalt also suck[03243][8804] the milk[02461] of the Gentiles[01471], and shalt suck[03243][8799] the breast[07699] of kings[04428]: and thou shalt know[03045][8804] that I the LORD[03068] am thy Saviour[03467][8688] and thy Redeemer[01350][8802], the mighty One[046] of Jacob[03290].

64:3 Violence[02555] shall no more be heard[08085][8735] in thy land[0776], wasting[07701] nor destruction[07667] within thy borders[01366]; but thou shalt call[07121][8804] thy walls[02346] Salvation[03444], and thy gates[08179] Praise[08416].
64:4 The sun[08121] shall be no more thy light[0216] by day[03119]; neither for brightness[05051] shall the moon[03394] give light[0216] unto thee: but the LORD[03068] shall be unto thee an everlasting[05769] light[0215][8686], and thy God[0430] thy glory[08597].
64:5 Thy sun[08121] shall no more go down[0935][8799]; neither shall thy moon[03391] withdraw[0622][8735] itself: for the LORD[03068] shall be thine everlasting[05769] light[0216], and the days[03117] of thy mourning[060] shall be ended[07999][8804].
64:6 Thy people[05971] also shall be all righteous[06662]: they shall inherit[03423][8799] the land[0776] for ever[05769], the branch[05342] of my planting[04302], the work[04639] of my hands[03027], that I may be glorified[06286][8692].
64:7 A little one[06996] shall become a thousand[0505], and a small one[06810] a strong[06099] nation[01471]: I the LORD[03068] will hasten[02363][8686] it in his time[06256].
64:8 The Spirit[07307] of the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] is upon me; because the LORD[03068] hath anointed[04886][8804] me to preach good tidings[01319][8763] unto the meek[06035]; he hath sent[07971][8804] me to bind up[02280][8800] the brokenhearted[07665][8737][03820], to proclaim[07121][8800] liberty[01865] to the captives[07617][8803], and the opening of the prison[06495] to them that are bound[0631][8803];
64:9 To proclaim[07121][8800] the acceptable[07522] year[08141] of the LORD[03068], and the day[03117] of vengeance[05359] of our God[0430]; to comfort[05162][8763] all that mourn[057];
64:10 To appoint[07760][8800] unto them that mourn[057] in Zion[06726], to give[05414][8800] unto them beauty[06287] for ashes[0665], the oil[08081] of joy[08342] for mourning[060], the garment[04594] of praise[08416] for the spirit[07307] of heaviness[03544]; that they might be called[07121][8795] trees[0352] of righteousness[06664], the planting[04302] of the LORD[03068], that he might be glorified[06286][8692].
64:11 And they shall build[01129][8804] the old[05769] wastes[02723], they shall raise up[06965][8787] the former[07223] desolations[08074][8802], and they shall repair[02318][8765] the waste[02721] cities[05892], the desolations[08074][8802] of many[01755] generations[01755].
64:12 And strangers[02114][8801] shall stand[05975][8804] and feed[07462][8804] your flocks[06629], and the sons[01121] of the alien[05236] shall be your plowmen[0406] and your vinedressers[03755].
65:1 But ye shall be named[07121][8735] the Priests[03548] of the LORD[03068]: men shall call[0559][8735] you the Ministers[08334][8764] of our God[0430]: ye shall eat[0398][8799] the riches[02428] of the Gentiles[01471], and in their glory[03519] shall ye boast[03235][8691] yourselves.
65:2 For your shame[01322] ye shall have double[04932]; and for confusion[03639] they shall rejoice[07442][8799] in their portion[02506]: therefore in their land[0776] they shall possess[03423][8799] the double[04932]: everlasting[05769] joy[08057] shall be unto them.
65:3 For I the LORD[03068] love[0157][8802] judgment[04941], I hate[08130][8802] robbery[01498] for burnt offering[05930]; and I will direct[05414][8804] their work[06468] in truth[0571], and I will make[03772][8799] an everlasting[05769] covenant[01285] with them.
65:4 And their seed[02233] shall be known[03045][8738] among the Gentiles[01471], and their offspring[06631] among[08432] the people[05971]: all that see[07200][8802] them shall acknowledge[05234][8686] them, that they are  the seed[02233] which the LORD[03068] hath blessed[01288][8765].
65:5 I will greatly[07797][8800] rejoice[07797][8799] in the LORD[03068], my soul[05315] shall be joyful[01523][8799] in my God[0430]; for he hath clothed[03847][8689] me with the garments[0899] of salvation[03468], he hath covered[03271][8804] me with the robe[04598] of righteousness[06666], as a bridegroom[02860] decketh[03547][8762] himself with ornaments[06287], and as a bride[03618] adorneth[05710][8799] herself with her jewels[03627]. decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest
65:6 For as the earth[0776] bringeth forth[03318][8686] her bud[06780], and as the garden[01593] causeth the things that are sown[02221] in it to spring forth[06779][8686]; so the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] will cause righteousness[06666] and praise[08416] to spring forth[06779][8686] before all the nations[01471].
65:7 For Zion's[06726] sake will I not hold my peace[02814][8799], and for Jerusalem's[03389] sake I will not rest[08252][8799], until the righteousness[06664] thereof go forth[03318][8799] as brightness[05051], and the salvation[03444] thereof as a lamp[03940] that burneth[01197][8799].
65:8 And the Gentiles[01471] shall see[07200][8804] thy righteousness[06664], and all kings[04428] thy glory[03519]: and thou shalt be called[07121][8795] by a new[02319] name[05344][8799], which the mouth[06310] of the LORD[03068] shall name[08034].
65:9 Thou shalt also be a crown[05850] of glory[08597] in the hand[03027] of the LORD[03068], and a royal[04410] diadem[06797][8675][06797] in the hand[03709] of thy God[0430].
65:10 Thou shalt no more be termed[0559][8735] Forsaken[05800][8803]; neither shall thy land[0776] any more be termed[0559][8735] Desolate[08077]: but thou shalt be called[07121][8735] Hephzibah[02657], and thy land[0776] Beulah[01166][8803]: for the LORD[03068] delighteth[02654][8804] in thee, and thy land[0776] shall be married[01166][8735]. Hephzibah: that is, My delight is in her Beulah: that is, Married
65:11 For as a young man[0970] marrieth[01166][8799] a virgin[01330], so shall thy sons[01121] marry[01166][8799] thee: and as the bridegroom[02860] rejoiceth[04885] over the bride[03618], so shall thy God[0430] rejoice[07797][8799] over thee. as the...: Heb. with the joy of the bridegroom
65:12 I have set[06485][8689] watchmen[08104][8802] upon thy walls[02346], O Jerusalem[03389], which shall never[08548] hold their peace[02814][8799] day[03117] nor night[03915]: ye that make mention[02142][8688] of the LORD[03068], keep not silence[01824], make...: or, are the LORD's remembrancers
65:13 And give[05414][8799] him no rest[01824], till he establish[03559][8787], and till he make[07760][8799] Jerusalem[03389] a praise[08416] in the earth[0776]. rest: Heb. silence
65:14 The LORD[03068] hath sworn[07650][8738] by his right hand[03225], and by the arm[02220] of his strength[05797], Surely I will[0518] no more give[05414][8799] thy corn[01715] to be meat[03978] for thine enemies[0341][8802]; and the sons[01121] of the stranger[05236] shall not drink[08354][8799] thy wine[08492], for the which thou hast laboured[03021][8804]: Surely...: Heb.

65:16 Go through[05674][8798], go through[05674][8798] the gates[08179]; prepare[06437][8761] ye the way[01870] of the people[05971]; cast up[05549][8798], cast up[05549][8798] the highway[04546]; gather out[05619][8761] the stones[068]; lift up[07311][8685] a standard[05251] for the people[05971].
65:17 Behold, the LORD[03068] hath proclaimed[08085][8689] unto the end[07097] of the world[0776], Say[0559][8798] ye to the daughter[01323] of Zion[06726], Behold, thy salvation[03468] cometh[0935][8802]; behold, his reward[07939] is with him, and his work[06468] before[06440] him. work: or, recompence
65:18 And they shall call[07121][8804] them, The holy[06944] people[05971], The redeemed[01350][8803] of the LORD[03068]: and thou shalt be called[07121][8735], Sought out[01875][8803], A city[05892] not forsaken[05800][8737].
65:19 Who is this that cometh[0935][8802] from Edom[0123], with dyed[02556][8803] garments[0899] from Bozrah[01224]? this that is glorious[01921][8803] in his apparel[03830], travelling[06808][8802] in the greatness[07230] of his strength[03581]? I that speak[01696][8764] in righteousness[06666], mighty[07227] to save[03467][8687]. glorious: Heb. decked
65:20 Wherefore art thou red[0122] in thine apparel[03830], and thy garments[0899] like him that treadeth[01869][8802] in the winefat[01660]?
65:21 I have trodden[01869][8804] the winepress[06333] alone; and of the people[05971] there was none[0376] with me: for I will tread[01869][8799] them in mine anger[0639], and trample[07429][8799] them in my fury[02534]; and their blood[05332] shall be sprinkled[05137][8799] upon my garments[0899], and I will stain[01351][8689] all my raiment[04403].
65:22 For the day[03117] of vengeance[05359] is in mine heart[03820], and the year[08141] of my redeemed[01350][8803] is come[0935][8804].
65:23 And I looked[05027][8686], and there was none to help[05826][8802]; and I wondered[08074][8709] that there was none to uphold[05564][8802]: therefore mine own arm[02220] brought salvation[03467][8686] unto me; and my fury[02534], it upheld[05564][8804] me.
65:24 And I will tread down[0947][8799] the people[05971] in mine anger[0639], and make them drunk[07937][8762] in my fury[02534], and I will bring down[03381][8686] their strength[05332] to the earth[0776].
65:25 I will mention[02142][8686] the lovingkindnesses[02617] of the LORD[03068], and the praises[08416] of the LORD[03068], according to all that the LORD[03068] hath bestowed[01580][8804] on us, and the great[07227] goodness[02898] toward the house[01004] of Israel[03478], which he hath bestowed[01580][8804] on them according to his mercies[07356], and according to the multitude[07230] of his lovingkindnesses[02617].
66:1 For he said[0559][8799], Surely they are my people[05971], children[01121] that will not lie[08266][8762]: so he was their Saviour[03467][8688].
66:2 In all their affliction[06869] he was afflicted[06862], and the angel[04397] of his presence[06440] saved[03467][8689] them: in his love[0160] and in his pity[02551] he redeemed[01350][8804] them; and he bare[05190][8762] them, and carried[05375][8762] them all the days[03117] of old[05769].
66:3 But they rebelled[04784][8804], and vexed[06087][8765] his holy[06944] Spirit[07307]: therefore he was turned[02015][8735] to be their enemy[0341][8802], and he fought[03898][8738] against them.
66:4 Then he remembered[02142][8799] the days[03117] of old[05769], Moses[04872], and his people[05971], saying , Where is he that brought them up[05927][8688] out of the sea[03220] with the shepherd[07462][8802] of his flock[06629]? where is he that put[07760][8802] his holy[06944] Spirit[07307] within[07130] him? shepherd: or, shepherds
66:5 That led[03212][8688] them by the right hand[03225] of Moses[04872] with his glorious[08597] arm[02220], dividing[01234][8802] the water[04325] before[06440] them, to make[06213][8800] himself an everlasting[05769] name[08034]?
66:6 That led[03212][8688] them through the deep[08415], as an horse[05483] in the wilderness[04057], that they should not stumble[03782][8735]?
66:7 As a beast[0929] goeth down[03381][8799] into the valley[01237], the Spirit[07307] of the LORD[03068] caused him to rest[05117][8686]: so didst thou lead[05090][8765] thy people[05971], to make[06213][8800] thyself a glorious[08597] name[08034].
66:8 Look down[05027][8685] from heaven[08064], and behold[07200][8798] from the habitation[02073] of thy holiness[06944] and of thy glory[08597]: where is thy zeal[07068] and thy strength[01369], the sounding[01995] of thy bowels[04578] and of thy mercies[07356] toward me? are they restrained[0662][8694]? the sounding: or, the multitude
66:9 Doubtless[03588] thou art our father[01], though Abraham[085] be ignorant[03808][03045][8804] of us, and Israel[03478] acknowledge[05234][8686] us not: thou, O LORD[03068], art our father[01], our redeemer[01350][8802]; thy name[08034] is from everlasting[05769]. our redeemer...: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name
66:10 O LORD[03068], why hast thou made us to err[08582][8686] from thy ways[01870], and hardened[07188][8686] our heart[03820] from thy fear[03374]? Return[07725][8798] for thy servants[05650]' sake, the tribes[07626] of thine inheritance[05159].
66:11 The people[05971] of thy holiness[06944] have possessed[03423][8804] it but a little while[04705]: our adversaries[06862] have trodden down[0947][8790] thy sanctuary[04720].
66:12 We are thine : thou never[05769] barest rule[04910][8804] over them; they were not called[07121][8738] by thy name[08034]. they...: Heb. thy name was not called upon them
66:13 Oh[03863] that thou wouldest rend[07167][8804] the heavens[08064], that thou wouldest come down[03381][8804], that the mountains[02022] might flow down[02151][8738] at thy presence[06440],
66:14 As when the melting[02003] fire[0784] burneth[06919][8800], the fire[0784] causeth the waters[04325] to boil[01158][8799], to make thy name[08034] known[03045][8687] to thine adversaries[06862], that the nations[01471] may tremble[07264][8799] at thy presence[06440]! the melting...: Heb. the fire of meltings
66:15 When thou didst[06213][8800] terrible things[03372][8737] which we looked[06960][8762] not for, thou camest down[03381][8804], the mountains[02022] flowed down[02151][8738] at thy presence[06440].
66:16 For since the beginning of the world[05769] men have not heard[08085][8804], nor perceived by the ear[0238][8689], neither hath the eye[05869] seen[07200][8804], O God[0430], beside[02108] thee, what he hath prepared[06213][8799] for him that waiteth[02442][8764] for him. seen...: or, seen a God beside thee, which doeth so for him, etc
66:17 Thou meetest[06293][8804] him that rejoiceth[07797][8801] and worketh[06213][8802] righteousness[06664], those that remember[02142][8799] thee in thy ways[01870]: behold, thou art wroth[07107][8804]; for we have sinned[02398][8799]: in those is continuance[05769], and we shall be saved[03467][8735].
66:18 But we are all as an unclean[02931] thing , and all our righteousnesses[06666] are as filthy[05708] rags[0899]; and we all do fade[05034][8799][8676][01101][8686] as a leaf[05929]; and our iniquities[05771], like the wind[07307], have taken us away[05375][8799].
66:19 And there is none that calleth[07121][8802] upon thy name[08034], that stirreth up[05782][8711] himself to take hold[02388][8687] of thee: for thou hast hid[05641][8689] thy face[06440] from us, and hast consumed[04127][8799] us, because[03027] of our iniquities[05771]. consumed: Heb. melted because: Heb. by the hand
66:20 But now, O LORD[03068], thou art our father[01]; we are the clay[02563], and thou our potter[03335][8802]; and we all are the work[04639] of thy hand[03027].
66:21 Be not wroth[07107][8799] very sore[03966], O LORD[03068], neither remember[02142][8799] iniquity[05771] for ever[05703]: behold, see[05027][8685], we beseech thee, we are all thy people[05971].
66:22 Thy holy[06944] cities[05892] are a wilderness[04057], Zion[06726] is a wilderness[04057], Jerusalem[03389] a desolation[08077].
66:23 Our holy[06944] and our beautiful[08597] house[01004], where our fathers[01] praised[01984][8765] thee, is burned up[08316] with fire[0784]: and all our pleasant things[04261] are laid waste[02723].
66:24 Wilt thou refrain[0662][8691] thyself for these things , O LORD[03068]? wilt thou hold thy peace[02814][8799], and afflict[06031][8762] us very sore[03966]?
