(Isaiah 1:1) The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
(Isaiah 1:2) Give heed, O heavens, and hear, O earth! For Jehovah has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against Me.
(Isaiah 1:3) The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people have not discerned.
(Isaiah 1:4) Woe, sinful nation, a people heavy with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children who corrupt! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have scorned the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged backward.
(Isaiah 1:5) Why will you be stricken any more? Will you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint.
(Isaiah 1:6) From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; only wounds and bruises and fresh stripes; they have not been closed nor bound up, nor has it been softened with oil.
(Isaiah 1:7) Your land is a desolation; your cities burned with fire. Strangers devour your land before you; and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
(Isaiah 1:8) And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
(Isaiah 1:9) Except Jehovah of Hosts had left us a small remnant, we would be as Sodom; we would be as Gomorrah.
(Isaiah 1:10) Hear the Word of Jehovah, you rulers of Sodom. Give heed to the Law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
(Isaiah 1:11) What good to Me are your many sacrifices, says Jehovah? I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of well-fed cattle; nor do I delight in the blood of bulls, of lambs, or he goats.
(Isaiah 1:12) When you come to appear before Me, who has required this at your hand, to trample My courts?
(Isaiah 1:13) Bring no more vain sacrifices; its incense is an abomination to Me. I cannot endure the new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies, and the wicked festivals.
(Isaiah 1:14) My soul hates your new moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
(Isaiah 1:15) And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. Even though you multiply prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
(Isaiah 1:16) Wash yourselves, purify yourselves. Put away the evil of your doings from My eyes; stop doing evil.
(Isaiah 1:17) Learn to do good, seek justice, set straight the oppressor, judge for the orphan, plead for the widow.
(Isaiah 1:18) Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
(Isaiah 1:19) If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
(Isaiah 1:20) But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.
(Isaiah 1:21) Oh how the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; righteousness lodged in it; but now, murderers!
(Isaiah 1:22) Your silver has become dross; your wine is diluted with water.
(Isaiah 1:23) Your rulers are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe, and pursues rewards. They do not judge for the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
(Isaiah 1:24) Therefore says the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah! I will be eased of My adversaries, and avenge Myself of My enemies.
(Isaiah 1:25) And I will turn back My hand upon you, and refine your dross, as with lye, and remove all your alloy.
(Isaiah 1:26) And I will return your judges as at the first; and your advisers, as at the beginning; then you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.
(Isaiah 1:27) Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her returning ones with righteousness.
(Isaiah 1:28) And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together. And those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
(Isaiah 1:29) For they shall be ashamed of the mighty trees which you desired; and you shall be ashamed of the gardens that you have chosen.
(Isaiah 1:30) For you shall be like a mighty tree whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water.
(Isaiah 1:31) And the strong shall be as tinder, and the work as a spark; and they both shall burn together; and no one shall quench them.
(Isaiah 2:1) The Word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
(Isaiah 2:2) And it shall come to pass in the end times, that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
(Isaiah 2:3) And many people shall go and say, Come and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion the Law shall go forth, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.
(Isaiah 2:4) And He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war anymore.
(Isaiah 2:5) O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
(Isaiah 2:6) For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been consecrated from the east, and are fortunetellers like the Philistines, and they clap hands in worship with children of foreigners.
(Isaiah 2:7) Their land is also filled with silver and gold. There is no end to their treasures. And their land is full of horses, neither is there any end to their chariots.
(Isaiah 2:8) Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
(Isaiah 2:9) People prostrate themselves, men bow low; therefore You do not forgive them.
(Isaiah 2:10) Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty.
(Isaiah 2:11) The lofty eyes of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down; but Jehovah, He alone, shall be exalted in that day.
(Isaiah 2:12) For the day of Jehovah of Hosts shall come upon all the proud and lofty ones, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;
(Isaiah 2:13) and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up; and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
(Isaiah 2:14) and upon all the high mountains; and upon all the lifted up hills;
(Isaiah 2:15) and upon every tall tower; and upon every fortified wall;
(Isaiah 2:16) and upon all the ships of Tarshish; and upon all desirable craft.
(Isaiah 2:17) And the pride of man shall be bowed down; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.
(Isaiah 2:18) And the idols shall completely pass away.
(Isaiah 2:19) And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, for the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty; when He rises up to make the earth tremble.
(Isaiah 2:20) In that day a man shall throw his idols of silver and gold, which they made each man to bow down to, to the moles and to the bats;
(Isaiah 2:21) to go into the crevices of the rocks, and into the clefts of the cliffs, from the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty; when He rises up to make the earth tremble.
(Isaiah 2:22) Leave off from such a man, whose breath is in his nostril; for how is he to be accounted?
(Isaiah 3:1) For behold, the Lord Jehovah of Hosts takes away the support and the staff from Jerusalem and from Judah; the whole support of bread and the whole support of water;
(Isaiah 3:2) the mighty man, and the man of war; the judge and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;
(Isaiah 3:3) the commander of fifty and the honorable man; the counselor and the skilled magician; and the expert enchanter.
(Isaiah 3:4) And I will give youth to be their rulers, and wanton children shall rule over them.
(Isaiah 3:5) And the people shall be oppressed, man against man, every man by his neighbor. The youth will be insolent against the elder, and the dishonorable against the honorable.
(Isaiah 3:6) When a man shall take hold of his brother, in his father’s house, saying, You have clothing! Come, you be our ruler; let this ruin be under your power.
(Isaiah 3:7) In that day he shall lift himself up and say, I cannot be one who binds up; for there is neither bread nor clothing in my house; do not make me a ruler of the people.
(Isaiah 3:8) For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their tongue and their deeds are rebellion toward Jehovah and against the eyes of His glory.
(Isaiah 3:9) The expression of their faces witnesses against them; they have declared their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have recompensed evil upon themselves.
(Isaiah 3:10) Say to the righteous that it is well; for they shall eat of the fruit of their doings.
(Isaiah 3:11) Woe to the wicked! For the evil, the recompense of his hand, shall be done unto him.
(Isaiah 3:12) As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people, those leading you cause you to go astray, and they swallow the way of your paths.
(Isaiah 3:13) Jehovah stands up to plead His case, and stands up to judge the peoples.
(Isaiah 3:14) Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and their rulers. For you have eaten up the vineyard, the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
(Isaiah 3:15) What do you mean that you crush My people, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.
(Isaiah 3:16) Furthermore Jehovah says, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched out necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and make a tinkling with their feet;
(Isaiah 3:17) therefore Jehovah will attach scabs to the top of the head of the daughters of Zion; and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.
(Isaiah 3:18) In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and their headbands, and their crescents of the moon,
(Isaiah 3:19) the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;
(Isaiah 3:20) the turbans, and the leg ornaments, and the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the amulets;
(Isaiah 3:21) the rings and nose jewels;
(Isaiah 3:22) the festal apparel and the outer garments; and the mantles, and the purses;
(Isaiah 3:23) the mirrors and the fine linen; and the turbans and the veils.
(Isaiah 3:24) And it shall be, instead of a smell of perfume, there shall be an odor of decay. And instead of a belt, a rope. And instead of well set hair, baldness. And instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
(Isaiah 3:25) Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
(Isaiah 3:26) And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall sit desolate on the ground.
(Isaiah 4:1) And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothing; only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.
(Isaiah 4:2) In that day shall the Branch of Jehovah be beautiful and honorable, and the fruit of the earth excellent and glorious for those who have escaped from Israel.
(Isaiah 4:3) And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem;
(Isaiah 4:4) when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
(Isaiah 4:5) And Jehovah will create over all the foundation of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy.
(Isaiah 4:6) And there shall be a booth for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from storm and rain.
(Isaiah 5:1) Now I will sing to my Beloved a song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard. My Beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
(Isaiah 5:2) And He fenced it, and cleared out its stones, and planted it with choice vines, and built a tower in its midst, and hewed out a winepress in it; and He looked for it to produce grapes, but it produced rotten grapes.
(Isaiah 5:3) And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, please judge between Me and My vineyard.
(Isaiah 5:4) What more could have been done to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield rotten grapes?
(Isaiah 5:5) And now I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard; I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down;
(Isaiah 5:6) and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor dug; but briers and thorns shall come up. And I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
(Isaiah 5:7) For the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold an outcry!
(Isaiah 5:8) Woe to those who join house to house, laying field to field, until there is no more space for you to dwell alone in the midst of the earth!
(Isaiah 5:9) Jehovah of Hosts said in my ears, Truly many big and pleasant houses shall be laid waste, without inhabitant.
(Isaiah 5:10) Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer shall yield an ephah.
(Isaiah 5:11) Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to pursue strong drink; remaining until the evening while wine inflames them!
(Isaiah 5:12) And the lute, and the harp, the tambourine, and pipe, and wine, are at their feasts; but they do not regard the work of Jehovah, neither do they give attention to the work of His hands.
(Isaiah 5:13) For this My people have gone into captivity without knowledge, and their honorable men into famine, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
(Isaiah 5:14) Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their tumult, and he who exults, shall go down into it.
(Isaiah 5:15) And people are prostrated, and great men are brought low and the eyes of the haughty are brought low.
(Isaiah 5:16) But Jehovah of Hosts is exalted in justice, and the Mighty God, the Holy One, is sanctified in righteousness.
(Isaiah 5:17) Then shall the lambs feed in their pastures, and the waste places of the fat ones shall sojourners eat.
(Isaiah 5:18) Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin with cart ropes;
(Isaiah 5:19) who say, Let Him hurry and hasten His work, so that we may see it; and let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, so that we may know it!
(Isaiah 5:20) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
(Isaiah 5:21) Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and understanding in their own sight!
(Isaiah 5:22) Woe to those mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink;
(Isaiah 5:23) who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous!
(Isaiah 5:24) Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be like rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up like dust, because they have cast away the Law of Jehovah of Hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.
(Isaiah 5:25) Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against His people, and He has stretched out His hand against them, and has stricken them; and the hills trembled, and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
(Isaiah 5:26) And He will lift up a banner to distant nations, and will whistle to them from the ends of the earth; and behold, they shall come with speed, swiftly.
(Isaiah 5:27) No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the waistband of their loins be loosened, nor the thong of their sandals be broken;
(Isaiah 5:28) whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses’ hooves seem like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
(Isaiah 5:29) Their roaring shall be like a lion; they shall roar like young lions; and they shall roar and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and no one shall deliver it.
(Isaiah 5:30) And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea; and if one looks to the land, behold darkness and distress; and the light is darkened by clouds.
(Isaiah 6:1) In the year that King Uzziah died I then saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.
(Isaiah 6:2) Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
(Isaiah 6:3) And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of Hosts; the whole earth full of His glory!
(Isaiah 6:4) And the doorposts shook at the voice of the one who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
(Isaiah 6:5) Then I said, Woe is me! for I am undone! for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts.
(Isaiah 6:6) Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from off the altar.
(Isaiah 6:7) And he applied it to my mouth and said, Lo, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is purged.
(Isaiah 6:8) And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then I said, Here am I! Send me.
(Isaiah 6:9) And He said, Go, and tell this people, You listen to hear, but do not understand; you look to see, but do not perceive.
(Isaiah 6:10) Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back, and be healed.
(Isaiah 6:11) Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities have been smashed to ruins without inhabitant, and the houses without a man, and the land is left devastated,
(Isaiah 6:12) and until Jehovah has sent the men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.
(Isaiah 6:13) But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak when it is cut down, whose stump remains. The holy seed is its stump.
(Isaiah 7:1) And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but could not prevail against it.
(Isaiah 7:2) And it was told to the house of David, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are swayed by the wind.
(Isaiah 7:3) Then Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.
(Isaiah 7:4) And say to him, Take care and be quiet. Do not fear, nor be softhearted because of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin from Syria, and of the son of Remaliah;
(Isaiah 7:5) because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted against you, saying,
(Isaiah 7:6) Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and break through the wall for ourselves, and set a king in the midst of it, the son of Tabeel.
(Isaiah 7:7) Thus says the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass.
(Isaiah 7:8) For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken so that it shall not be a people.
(Isaiah 7:9) And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.
(Isaiah 7:10) Furthermore Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
(Isaiah 7:11) Ask for a sign from Jehovah your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
(Isaiah 7:12) But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I tempt Jehovah.
(Isaiah 7:13) And He said, Hear now, O house of David; is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?
(Isaiah 7:14) Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.
(Isaiah 7:15) Butter and honey He shall eat until He knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
(Isaiah 7:16) For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you loathe shall be forsaken by both its kings.
(Isaiah 7:17) Jehovah shall bring upon you, and upon your people, and upon your father’s house, days that have not come since the days that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
(Isaiah 7:18) And it shall come to pass in that day that Jehovah shall whistle for the fly at the ends of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
(Isaiah 7:19) And they shall come, and all of them shall rest in the steep valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, and on all the pastures.
(Isaiah 7:20) In the same day the Lord shall shave with a hired razor, with those beyond the River, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet, and it shall also snatch away the beard.
(Isaiah 7:21) And it shall be in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow and two sheep;
(Isaiah 7:22) so it will be that, from the abundance of milk which they shall give, that He shall eat butter; for everyone who is left in the land shall eat butter and honey.
(Isaiah 7:23) And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines, worth a thousand pieces of silver, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
(Isaiah 7:24) With arrows and with bows, men shall come there, because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
(Isaiah 7:25) And all hills which were hoed with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be a place to turn the ox loose, and for sheep to trample.
(Isaiah 8:1) And Jehovah said to me, Take a large scroll and write in it with a man’s pen: Maher-shalal-hash-baz. (which means, Hurry to the plunder! Make haste to the spoils!)
(Isaiah 8:2) And I took to myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
(Isaiah 8:3) And I went in to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Jehovah said to me, Call his name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
(Isaiah 8:4) For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
(Isaiah 8:5) Jehovah also spoke to me again saying,
(Isaiah 8:6) Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
(Isaiah 8:7) therefore behold, the Lord brings up upon them the waters of the River, strong and abundant, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels and go over all his banks.
(Isaiah 8:8) And he shall pass through Judah. He shall overflow and go over; he shall reach to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel.
(Isaiah 8:9) Suffer evil, O people, and be broken! Give ear, all you from distant lands. Gird yourselves and be broken. Gird yourselves and be broken!
(Isaiah 8:10) Take counsel and make plans, but they will be frustrated. Speak a word, but it shall not stand; for the Mighty God is with us.
(Isaiah 8:11) For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and warned me against walking in the way of this people, saying,
(Isaiah 8:12) Do not say, A conspiracy! to everything which this people calls, A conspiracy! And do not be afraid with their fear, nor be terrified.
(Isaiah 8:13) Sanctify Jehovah of Hosts Himself, and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.
(Isaiah 8:14) And He shall be a sanctuary for you; but a stone of stumbling, and a rock of falling to both the houses of Israel; and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
(Isaiah 8:15) And many among them shall stumble and fall and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
(Isaiah 8:16) Bind up the testimony, seal the Law among My disciples.
(Isaiah 8:17) And I will wait on Jehovah, who hides His face from the house of Jacob; and I will watch for Him.
(Isaiah 8:18) Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, from Jehovah of Hosts who dwells in Mount Zion.
(Isaiah 8:19) And when they say to you, Consult the sorcerers and fortunetellers who peep and mutter; should not a people inquire of their God, rather than the living of the dead?
(Isaiah 8:20) To the Law and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.
(Isaiah 8:21) And they shall pass through it, hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry, that they shall be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
(Isaiah 8:22) And they shall look to the land; and behold, trouble and darkness and gloom of anguish! And they shall be thrust into darkness.
(Isaiah 9:1) Nevertheless the gloom shall not be upon her who was in distress, as in the former time when He brought contempt upon the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali. For afterwards He will glorify the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
(Isaiah 9:2) The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them the light has shined.
(Isaiah 9:3) You have multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy. They rejoice before You according to the joy at harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoils.
(Isaiah 9:4) For You have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his taskmaster, as in the day of Midian.
(Isaiah 9:5) For every trembling boot of the warrior, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be fuel for burning in the fire.
(Isaiah 9:6) For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Strong and Mighty God, The Eternal Father, The Prince of Peace.
(Isaiah 9:7) Of the increase of His government and peace upon the throne of David there will be no end; and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on, even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will accomplish this.
(Isaiah 9:8) The Lord sent a Word to Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.
(Isaiah 9:9) And all the people shall know; Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and insolence of heart,
(Isaiah 9:10) The bricks have fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will use cedars instead.
(Isaiah 9:11) Therefore Jehovah shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies on;
(Isaiah 9:12) the Syrians in front and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
(Isaiah 9:13) For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, nor do they seek Jehovah of Hosts.
(Isaiah 9:14) Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and bulrush, in one day.
(Isaiah 9:15) The elder and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
(Isaiah 9:16) For the leaders of this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are swallowed up.
(Isaiah 9:17) Therefore the Lord shall not rejoice over their young men, nor shall He have mercy on their orphans and widows; for everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolishness. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
(Isaiah 9:18) For wickedness burns like the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall billow up in a column of smoke.
(Isaiah 9:19) Through the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts the land is scorched, and the people shall be as fuel for the fire; no man shall have compassion on his brother.
(Isaiah 9:20) And he shall cut off on the right hand and be hungry; and he shall devour on the left, and they shall not be satisfied. Each man shall eat the flesh of his own arm;
(Isaiah 9:21) Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and together they shall be against Judah. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
(Isaiah 10:1) Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and who have written and continue to write toil;
(Isaiah 10:2) to thrust aside the needy from judgment, and to rob the right from the poor of My people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may plunder the orphans!
(Isaiah 10:3) And what will you do in the day of judgment, and in destruction when it comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?
(Isaiah 10:4) Without Me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. In all this His hand is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

(Isaiah 28:3) The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trampled under foot;

(Isaiah 28:12) To whom He said, This is the rest; cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. Yet they were not willing to hear.
(Isaiah 28:13) But the Word of Jehovah was to them, Precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they might go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and caught.
(Isaiah 28:14) Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah, you scornful men who rule this people in Jerusalem.
(Isaiah 28:15) Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol; when the overflowing scourge shall have gone and passed through, it shall not come upon us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.
(Isaiah 28:16) Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I have founded in Zion a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who trusts in It shall not be anxious.

(Isaiah 28:18) And your covenant with death shall be covered over, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overwhelming scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trampled down by it.
(Isaiah 28:19) From the time that it goes out it shall take you; for morning by morning it shall pass over, by day and by night; and it shall be a terror just to understand the report.

(Isaiah 28:24) Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he loosen and harrow his ground?
(Isaiah 28:25) When he has leveled its surface, does he not scatter the black cumin and sprinkle the cumin, and plant the wheat in rows and mark off the barley and spelt in their boundaries?
(Isaiah 28:26) For God instructs him to do right; and teaches him.
(Isaiah 28:27) For the black cumin is not threshed with a threshing instrument, nor is a cart wheel turned on cumin; but the black cumin is beaten out with a stick and the cumin with a rod.
(Isaiah 28:28) Bread flour is ground. But one does not continue treading and threshing it; nor does he destroy it with his cart wheel; nor pulverize it with his horse.
(Isaiah 28:29) This also comes forth from Jehovah of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excels in sound wisdom.
(Isaiah 29:1) Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Snatch away year after year; let the feasts come around.

(Isaiah 29:3) And I will encamp against you all around, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise siege works against you.
(Isaiah 29:4) And you shall be brought down; you shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust, and your voice shall be like a medium out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
(Isaiah 29:5) And the multitude of your strangers shall be like fine dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away; yea, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.
(Isaiah 29:6) You shall be visited by Jehovah of Hosts with thunder, and with earthquake and loud sounds, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
(Isaiah 29:7) And the multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, shall be like a dream of a night vision.
(Isaiah 29:8) It shall even be as when a hungry one dreams, and behold, he eats, but he awakes and his soul is still empty; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks, but he awakes, and behold, he is still faint and his soul craves. So shall it be with the multitude of all the nations who fight against mount Zion.
(Isaiah 29:9) Wait and wonder! Smear your eyes shut, blind! They have become drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
(Isaiah 29:10) For Jehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes; He has covered the prophets and your heads, the seers.
(Isaiah 29:11) And the vision of all has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one who is literate saying, Please read this; and he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.
(Isaiah 29:12) And the book is delivered to him who is not literate, saying, Please read this; and he says, I am not literate.
(Isaiah 29:13) Therefore Jehovah said, Whereas this people draw near with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men;
(Isaiah 29:14) therefore, behold, I will again do among this people something extraordinary and wonderful. For the wisdom of their wise ones shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hidden.
(Isaiah 29:15) Woe to those who are profound to hide their counsel from Jehovah! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? And, Who knows us?
(Isaiah 29:16) O your perversity! Shall the former be esteemed as the potter’s clay; for shall the product say of him who made it, He did not make me? Or shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, He has had no understanding?
(Isaiah 29:17) Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.
(Isaiah 29:18) And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of their gloom and darkness.
(Isaiah 29:19) And the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
(Isaiah 29:20) For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is destroyed, and all who look after iniquity are cut off;
(Isaiah 29:21) those who induce a man to sin by a word, and lay a snare for the judge in the gate, and turn aside the just for vanity.
(Isaiah 29:22) Therefore thus says Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now become pale.
(Isaiah 29:23) But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they shall sanctify My name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
(Isaiah 29:24) Those who erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who murmured shall learn doctrine.
(Isaiah 30:1) Woe to the rebellious children, says Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of Me; and who pour out drink offerings, but not of My Spirit; that they sweep away sin after sin;
(Isaiah 30:2) who set out to go down to Egypt and have not asked at My mouth, to strengthen themselves in the refuge of Pharaoh and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
(Isaiah 30:3) Therefore the refuge of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt shall be your reproach.
(Isaiah 30:4) For his rulers were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
(Isaiah 30:5) They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them, nor be a help nor gain, but a shame and also a reproach.
(Isaiah 30:6) The burden concerning the beasts of the south. Into the land of trouble and anguish, from where the lioness and the lion come; the viper, and the fiery flying serpent; they carry their riches on the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them.
(Isaiah 30:7) For Egypt helps in vain, and unto emptiness. Therefore I have proclaimed concerning this, Their arrogance will be to sit still.
(Isaiah 30:8) Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and note it in a book, so that it may be for time to come forever and ever,
(Isaiah 30:9) that this is a rebellious people, lying children; children who will not hear the Law of Jehovah;
(Isaiah 30:10) who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deception;
(Isaiah 30:11) turn away from the path, thrust aside from the way, desist from the Holy One of Israel from before us.
(Isaiah 30:12) Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you have despised this Word, and trust in oppression and perversity, and lean on them;
(Isaiah 30:13) therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose crashing comes suddenly in an instant.
(Isaiah 30:14) And He shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces. He shall not spare, so that there shall not be found in the fragments of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the cistern.
(Isaiah 30:15) For thus says the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; and in quietness and confidence shall be your strength. But you were not willing.
(Isaiah 30:16) But you said, No; for we will flee on horses. Therefore you shall flee. And you said, We will ride on the swift; therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
(Isaiah 30:17) One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five you shall flee, until you are left as a beacon on the top of a mountain, and as a sign on a hill.
(Isaiah 30:18) And so Jehovah waits to be gracious to you. And therefore He is exalted, that He may have mercy on you; for Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for Him.
(Isaiah 30:19) For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When He hears it, He will answer you.
(Isaiah 30:20) And though Jehovah gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers shall not be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers.
(Isaiah 30:21) And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.
(Isaiah 30:22) You shall also defile the covering of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away like a menstruous cloth. You shall say to them, Get away!
(Isaiah 30:23) Then He shall give the rain for your seed with which you sow the ground. And the bread of the produce of the earth also shall be fat and plentiful. In that day your cattle shall feed in large pastures.
(Isaiah 30:24) Also the oxen and the young asses that plow the ground shall eat cured fodder, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
(Isaiah 30:25) And there shall be on every high mountain, and on every high hill, rivers, streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
(Isaiah 30:26) And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the breach of His people and heals the stroke of their wound.
(Isaiah 30:27) Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from afar, burning with His anger, and the burden of it is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue like a devouring fire.

(Isaiah 30:32) And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambourines and harps. In war with brandishing He will engage the battle.
(Isaiah 30:33) For Tophet was arranged in order of old; yea, for the king it is prepared. He has made it deep and large. He makes a fire with much wood. The breath of Jehovah kindles it like a torrent of brimstone.
(Isaiah 31:1) Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean on horses and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are so very strong; but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Jehovah!
(Isaiah 31:2) Yet He also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back His Words, but will arise against the house of evildoers and against the help of those who work iniquity.
(Isaiah 31:3) Now Egypt is a man, and not the Mighty God; and their horses are flesh, and not Spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch out His hand, both he who helps shall fall, and he who is helped shall fall down, and they shall all be finished together.
(Isaiah 31:4) For thus has Jehovah spoken to me: As the lion roars, and the young lion over his prey when a multitude of shepherds are summoned against him (he will not be afraid of their voice, nor fret himself because of their noise), so Jehovah of Hosts shall come down to fight for Mount Zion, and for its hill.

(Isaiah 31:8) Then Assyria shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. For he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labor.

(Isaiah 32:1) Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and rulers shall rule with justice.

(Isaiah 32:3) And the eyes of those who see shall not be dim, and the ears of those who hear shall listen.
(Isaiah 32:4) And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of those who stutter shall be ready to speak plainly.
(Isaiah 32:5) The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the miser said to be bountiful.
(Isaiah 32:6) For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity; to practice hypocrisy and to speak error against Jehovah, to empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to be lacking.
(Isaiah 32:7) Also the implements of the scoundrel are evil; he devises wicked plans to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks justice.

(Isaiah 32:9) Rise up, you women who are at ease; hear my voice, you careless daughters; listen to my speech.

(Isaiah 32:12) They shall mourn for the breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
(Isaiah 32:13) On the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city;
(Isaiah 32:14) because the palaces shall be abandoned, the multitude of the city shall be deserted. Instead, the mound and tower shall be for dens forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
(Isaiah 32:15) until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is esteemed as a forest.
(Isaiah 32:16) Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall remain in the fruitful field.
(Isaiah 32:17) And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the service of righteousness shall be quietness and assurance forever.
(Isaiah 32:18) And my people shall dwell in a peaceful habitation, and in secure dwellings and in quiet resting places,
(Isaiah 32:19) though it hails upon the forest, and the city is laid low.
(Isaiah 32:20) Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send free the feet of the ox and the ass.
(Isaiah 33:1) Woe to the destroyer, and you have not been destroyed; and the betrayer, and they have not betrayed you. When you stop destroying, you shall be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they shall betray you.

(Isaiah 33:8) The highways lie waste, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He has had regard for no man.
(Isaiah 33:9) The earth mourns and has grown feeble. Lebanon is ashamed and withers; Sharon is like a wilderness; Bashan and Carmel are shaken out like empty fruit trees.
(Isaiah 33:10) Now I will arise, says Jehovah; now I will be exalted; now I will lift up Myself.
(Isaiah 33:11) You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble; your breath, like fire, shall devour you.
(Isaiah 33:12) And the people shall be like the burnings of lime; like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.
(Isaiah 33:13) You who are far off, hear what I have done; and you who are near, perceive and know My might.
(Isaiah 33:14) The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has taken hold of the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
(Isaiah 33:15) He who walks righteously and speaks with equity; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from holding bribes, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil;
(Isaiah 33:16) he shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
(Isaiah 33:17) Your eyes shall see the King in His beauty; they shall behold the land that is very far off.
(Isaiah 33:18) Your heart shall muse on terror. Where is the scribe? Where is the one who weighs? Where is the one who counts the towers?
(Isaiah 33:19) You shall not see a fierce people, a people of unintelligible speech that you cannot perceive; of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand.
(Isaiah 33:20) Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed meetings; your eyes shall see Jerusalem, a quiet home, a tent that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, nor shall any of its cords be broken.
(Isaiah 33:21) But there the glorious Jehovah will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars shall go, nor shall majestic ships pass by.
(Isaiah 33:22) For Jehovah is our Judge, Jehovah is our Lawgiver, Jehovah is our King; He will save us.
(Isaiah 33:23) Your ropes are loosened, they could not hold the base of the mast, they could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder is divided; the lame take the spoils.
(Isaiah 33:24) And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the iniquity of the people who dwell there shall be taken away.
(Isaiah 34:1) Come near, you nations, to hear; and you people, pay attention; let the earth hear, and its fullness; the world, and all its offspring.
(Isaiah 34:2) For the wrath of Jehovah is upon all nations, and His fury upon all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them, He has delivered them to the slaughter.

(Isaiah 34:5) For My sword is drenched in the heavens. Behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of My curse, for judgment.
(Isaiah 34:6) The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood; it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
(Isaiah 34:7) And the oryx shall come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

(Isaiah 34:14) The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the howling beasts; and the shaggy goat shall cry to his fellow. The night creature also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
(Isaiah 34:15) There the great owl shall make her nest, and lay and hatch, and gather them under her shadow; there shall the birds of prey also be gathered, every one with her mate.
(Isaiah 34:16) Search from the book of Jehovah, and read; not one of these shall fail, not one shall lack her mate; for My mouth has commanded, and His Spirit has gathered them.
(Isaiah 34:17) And He has cast the lot for them, and His hand has divided it unto them by measuring line; they shall possess it perpetually, from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.
(Isaiah 35:1) The wilderness and the desert shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.
(Isaiah 35:2) It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah and the majesty of our God.
(Isaiah 35:3) Make the weak hands strong, and make the feeble knees secure.
(Isaiah 35:4) Say to those of anxious heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.
(Isaiah 35:5) Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

(Isaiah 35:7) And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land shall become springs of water, in the habitation of dragons where they dwell, a place for grass with reeds and rushes.

(Isaiah 35:9) No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up on it; they shall not be found there. But only the redeemed shall walk there.
(Isaiah 35:10) And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy on their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
(Isaiah 36:1) Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
(Isaiah 36:2) And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a great army. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.
(Isaiah 36:3) Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came out to him.
(Isaiah 36:4) And Rabshakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which you trust?
(Isaiah 36:5) You say (but they are only words of the lips), I have counsel and strength for war. Now, in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?
(Isaiah 36:6) Lo, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which, if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
(Isaiah 36:7) But if you say to me, We trust in Jehovah our God; is it not He whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, You shall bow down before this altar?
(Isaiah 36:8) Now then, please exchange pledges with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are even able on your part to put riders on them.
(Isaiah 36:9) How then will you repel the face of one commander of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
(Isaiah 36:10) Have I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.
(Isaiah 36:11) Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. But do not speak to us in the Jewish language in the ears of the people who are on the wall.
(Isaiah 36:12) But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?
(Isaiah 36:13) Then Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
(Isaiah 36:14) Thus says the king, Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you!
(Isaiah 36:15) Nor let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will deliver, to rescue us; this city shall not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria!
(Isaiah 36:16) Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria, Make a peace treaty with me, and come out to me; and let everyone eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern,
(Isaiah 36:17) until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and fresh wine, a land of bread and vineyards!
(Isaiah 36:18) Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
(Isaiah 36:19) Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Indeed, have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
(Isaiah 36:20) Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
(Isaiah 36:21) But they kept silent and did not answer him a word, for the king’s command said, Do not answer him.
(Isaiah 36:22) Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.
(Isaiah 37:1) And it happened when King Hezekiah heard it that he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
(Isaiah 37:2) And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
(Isaiah 37:3) And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of blasphemy! For the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.
(Isaiah 37:4) It may be that Jehovah your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore, lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.
(Isaiah 37:5) So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
(Isaiah 37:6) And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says Jehovah, Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
(Isaiah 37:7) Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
(Isaiah 37:8) So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
(Isaiah 37:9) And he heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia saying, He has come out to wage war with you. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
(Isaiah 37:10) Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
(Isaiah 37:11) Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them. And shall you be delivered?
(Isaiah 37:12) Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed: Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar?
(Isaiah 37:13) Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
(Isaiah 37:14) And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messenger, and read it. And Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah and spread it before Jehovah.
(Isaiah 37:15) And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,
(Isaiah 37:16) O Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and the earth.
(Isaiah 37:17) Extend Your ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open Your eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to taunt the Living God.
(Isaiah 37:18) Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands,
(Isaiah 37:19) and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
(Isaiah 37:20) Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are Jehovah, You alone.
(Isaiah 37:21) Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
(Isaiah 37:22) this is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind you.
(Isaiah 37:23) Whom have you mocked and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.
(Isaiah 37:24) By your servants you have taunted Jehovah and have said, By my many chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains beside Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will go to the extremities of its height, the forest of its Carmel.
(Isaiah 37:25) I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
(Isaiah 37:26) Have you not heard from distant lands how I have done it? Even from ancient times I have formed it. Now I have brought it to pass, that your fortified cities should be caused to crash into heaps of ruins.
(Isaiah 37:27) And their inhabitants had little power; being dismayed and ashamed. They were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and the standing grain before the field.
(Isaiah 37:28) But I know where you dwell, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against Me.
(Isaiah 37:29) Because your raging against Me, and your arrogance has come up into My ears, therefore I will put My hook in your nose, and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way from which you came.
(Isaiah 37:30) And this shall be a sign to you: You shall eat grain this year from what was sown by itself; and the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year you shall sow, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
(Isaiah 37:31) And the remnant that escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward;
(Isaiah 37:32) for out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape out of Mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts shall do this.
(Isaiah 37:33) Therefore thus says Jehovah to the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.
(Isaiah 37:34) By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and shall not come into this city, says Jehovah.
(Isaiah 37:35) For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.
(Isaiah 37:36) Then the angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
(Isaiah 37:37) So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and remained in Nineveh.
(Isaiah 37:38) And it came to pass as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword. And they escaped into the land of Ararat; and Esar-Haddon his son reigned in his place.
(Isaiah 38:1) In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.
(Isaiah 38:2) Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to Jehovah,
(Isaiah 38:3) and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what is good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
(Isaiah 38:4) Then came the Word of Jehovah to Isaiah, saying,
(Isaiah 38:5) Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says Jehovah the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add to your days fifteen years.
(Isaiah 38:6) And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.
(Isaiah 38:7) And this shall be a sign to you from Jehovah that Jehovah will do this thing that He has spoken:
(Isaiah 38:8) behold, I will bring back the shadow which has gone down the steps on the sundial of Ahaz, ten steps backward. So the sun returned ten steps, by which it had gone down.
(Isaiah 38:9) This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:
(Isaiah 38:10) I said at the end of of my days, I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the rest of my years.
(Isaiah 38:11) I said, I shall not see YAH, Jehovah, in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
(Isaiah 38:12) My generation is plucked up and removed from me like a shepherd’s tent; I have cut off my life like a weaver; He will cut me off from the loom; from day even to night You make an end of me.
(Isaiah 38:13) I have been still until morning; as a lion, so He breaks all my bones; from day even until night You make an end of me.
(Isaiah 38:14) Like a twittering swallow, so I chatter; I mourn as a dove; my eyes look weakly to the heights. O Jehovah, I am distressed; be surety for me.
(Isaiah 38:15) What shall I say? He has spoken to me, and He Himself has acted; I shall go slowly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
(Isaiah 38:16) O Jehovah, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; so You will restore me to health and make me live.
(Isaiah 38:17) Behold, instead of peace I was bitter with bitterness; but You have delighted in delivering my soul from the pit of corruption. You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
(Isaiah 38:18) For Sheol cannot thank You, death cannot praise You; those who go down into the pit cannot hope for Your truth.
(Isaiah 38:19) The living, the living man, he shall praise You, as I do this day; the father shall make Your truth known to the children.
(Isaiah 38:20) Jehovah is there to save me; therefore we will sing my songs with the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.
(Isaiah 38:21) For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs and rub it on the boil, and he shall live.
(Isaiah 38:22) Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?
(Isaiah 39:1) At that time Merodach-Baladan the son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick, and had recovered.
(Isaiah 39:2) And Hezekiah was glad because of them, and showed them the house of his treasures; the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all his armory, and all that was found in his treasures.

(Isaiah 43:8) Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
(Isaiah 43:9) Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this and cause us to hear former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is true.
(Isaiah 43:10) You are My witnesses, says Jehovah, and My servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, nor shall there be after Me.
(Isaiah 43:11) I, even I, am Jehovah; and there is no one to save besides Me.
(Isaiah 43:12) I have declared and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you; therefore you are My witnesses, says Jehovah, that I am the Mighty God.

(Isaiah 43:18) Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
(Isaiah 43:19) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
(Isaiah 43:20) The beasts of the field shall honor Me, the dragons and the young owls; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My elect.
(Isaiah 43:21) This people that I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise.
(Isaiah 43:22) But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of Me, O Israel.
(Isaiah 43:23) You have not brought Me the lamb of your burnt offerings; nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.

(Isaiah 43:28) Therefore I will defile the rulers of the sanctuary, and will give Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

(Isaiah 44:2) Thus says Jehovah who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you; Fear not, O Jacob My servant, and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
(Isaiah 44:3) For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground. I will pour My spirit upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring;
(Isaiah 44:4) and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
(Isaiah 44:5) One shall say, I am Jehovah’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, For Jehovah, and be named by the name of Israel.

(Isaiah 44:9) Those who make a graven image, all of them are vanity; and the things which they desire shall not help. And they are their own witnesses; they do not see nor know; that they may be ashamed.
(Isaiah 44:10) Who has formed a god or smelted a graven image that benefits nothing?
(Isaiah 44:11) Behold, all his companions shall be ashamed; and the craftsmen, they are men. Let them be gathered together; let them stand up; they shall be in dread; they shall be ashamed together.
(Isaiah 44:12) The craftsman in iron makes it in the coals with the tongs, and fashions it with hammers, and makes it with the strength of his arms. Then, he is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.
(Isaiah 44:13) The craftsman in wood stretches a measuring line; he makes an outline with a marker; he works it with carving tools, and he marks it out with the compass, and makes it like the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, that it may remain in the house.
(Isaiah 44:14) He cuts down cedars, and takes cypress and oak, which he secures for himself among the trees of the forest. He plants a fir tree, and the rain makes it grow.
(Isaiah 44:15) Then it shall be for a man to burn; for he will take some of it and warm himself. Yes, he kindles it and bakes bread; he also makes a god and bows down to it; he makes it into a graven image and prostrates himself to it.
(Isaiah 44:16) He burns part of it in the fire; with part of it he eats flesh; he roasts a roast and is satisfied; indeed, he warms himself, and says, Ah! I am warm, I have seen the fire.
(Isaiah 44:17) And the rest of it he makes into a god, his graven image. He prostrates himself before it and bows down, and prays to it, and says, Deliver me! for you are my mighty god.
(Isaiah 44:18) They have not known nor understood; for He has shut their eyes so that they cannot see; and their hearts so that they cannot understand.
(Isaiah 44:19) And no one considers within his heart, nor is there perception nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; indeed, also I have baked bread on its coals; I have roasted flesh and eaten; and shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I prostrate myself to a piece of wood?
(Isaiah 44:20) He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside, so that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is this not a lie in my right hand?

(Isaiah 44:22) I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and as a cloud, your sins; return to Me, for I have redeemed you.
(Isaiah 44:23) Sing, O heavens; for Jehovah has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel!
(Isaiah 44:24) Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb: I am Jehovah, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens alone, who spreads out the earth by Myself;
(Isaiah 44:25) who brings to nothing the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad; who turns the wise backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;
(Isaiah 44:26) who establishes the word of His servant, and performs the counsel of His messengers; who says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, You shall be built, and I will raise up its waste places;
(Isaiah 44:27) who says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up your rivers;
(Isaiah 44:28) who says of Cyrus, He is My shepherd, and shall do all My pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, You shall be built; and to the temple, Your foundation shall be laid.
(Isaiah 45:1) Thus says Jehovah to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have strengthened in order to subdue nations before him. And I will loosen the loins of kings, to open before him the gates; and the gates shall not be shut.
(Isaiah 45:2) I will go before you, and make the high places level and straight. I will break in pieces the gates of bronze, and cut the iron bars in two.
(Isaiah 45:3) And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, Jehovah, who calls you by your name, am the God of Israel.

(Isaiah 45:5) I am Jehovah, and there is none other, no God besides Me; I embraced you, though you have not known Me;
(Isaiah 45:6) that they may know from the rising of the sun, to its setting, that there is none besides Me. I am Jehovah, and there is no other;
(Isaiah 45:7) forming the light and creating darkness; making peace and creating evil. I, Jehovah, do all these things.
(Isaiah 45:8) Rain down from above, O heavens, and let the clouds pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, and let salvation bear fruit; and let righteousness spring up together. I, Jehovah, have created it.
(Isaiah 45:9) Woe to him who strives with the One who formed him, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to the one who forms it, What are you making? Or your work, He has no hands?
(Isaiah 45:10) Woe to him who says to his father, What are you begetting? Or to the woman, What are you writhing over?
(Isaiah 45:11) Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and the One who formed him, Do you ask Me of things to come? Do you give command to Me about My sons, and about the work of My hands?
(Isaiah 45:12) I have made the earth, and created man on it; I, with My hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have I ordained.
(Isaiah 45:13) I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; he shall build My city, and he shall set free My captives, not for price nor reward, says Jehovah of Hosts.
(Isaiah 45:14) Thus says Jehovah, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Cush, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come to you, and they shall be yours. They shall follow behind you; and they shall pass over in chains and they shall bow down to you. They shall plead with you, saying, Surely the Mighty God is in you; there is no one else, no other God.
(Isaiah 45:15) Truly You are a Mighty God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
(Isaiah 45:16) They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they who are makers of idols shall go into disgrace together.
(Isaiah 45:17) But Israel shall be saved in Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. You shall not be ashamed nor humiliated to everlasting eternity.
(Isaiah 45:18) For thus says Jehovah who Created the heavens, God who has formed the earth and made it; who has established it, who has not created it void, but has formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and there is no other.
(Isaiah 45:19) I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain. I, Jehovah, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
(Isaiah 45:20) Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those who set up the wood of their graven image, and those that pray to a god that cannot save, they know nothing.
(Isaiah 45:21) Declare and approach; yea, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from antiquity? Who has told it since then? Is it not I, Jehovah. And there is no other God besides Me; a just Mighty God and a Savior; there is no one besides Me.
(Isaiah 45:22) Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am the Mighty God, and there is no other.
(Isaiah 45:23) I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
(Isaiah 45:24) One shall say, Only in Jehovah do I have righteousness and strength; to Him men shall come. And they shall be ashamed, all who are angry with Him.
(Isaiah 45:25) In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
(Isaiah 46:1) Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle; the things you carried have become a load, a burden to the weary.
(Isaiah 46:2) They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they themselves have gone into captivity.
(Isaiah 46:3) Listen to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who were carried by Me from the belly, who were sustained from the womb;
(Isaiah 46:4) even to your old age, I am He; and to the gray hairs I will bear you. I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
(Isaiah 46:5) To whom will you compare Me, and make Me equal; and compare Me, that we may be alike?
(Isaiah 46:6) They pour gold out of the bag, and weigh silver out on the measuring rod, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it into a god; they prostrate themselves, yea, they bow down.
(Isaiah 46:7) They carry it on the shoulder, they carry it and set it in its place, and it stands; it shall not move from its place. Yes, one shall cry unto it, yet it cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
(Isaiah 46:8) Remember this, and be a man; refresh the memory of your heart, you who rebel.
(Isaiah 46:9) Remember the former things from a long time ago; for I am the Mighty God, and there is no other; I am God, and no one else is like Me,
(Isaiah 46:10) declaring the end from the beginning, and from antiquity things which are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure;
(Isaiah 46:11) calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes my counsel from a distant land. Indeed, I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have formed it; I will also do it.
(Isaiah 46:12) Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness;
(Isaiah 46:13) I bring near My righteousness. It shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not delay. And I will place salvation in Zion, My glory for Israel.
(Isaiah 47:1) Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground. There is no throne for you, O daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
(Isaiah 47:2) Take the millstones and grind meal. Uncover your veil, strip off the skirt, bare the thigh, pass through the rivers.
(Isaiah 47:3) Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, your shame shall be seen; I will take vengeance and I will not meet you as a man.
(Isaiah 47:4) Our Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel.
(Isaiah 47:5) Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the Queen of Kingdoms.
(Isaiah 47:6) I was angry with My people, I have polluted My inheritance, and given them into your hand. You have shown them no mercy; upon the aged you have laid your yoke very heavily.
(Isaiah 47:7) And you said, I shall be a queen forever; so you did not lay these things to heart, nor remember the latter end of it.
(Isaiah 47:8) Now therefore hear this, O voluptuous one, who lives securely; who says in her heart, I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children.
(Isaiah 47:9) But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great power of your enchantments.
(Isaiah 47:10) For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge have perverted you; and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is no one else besides me.
(Isaiah 47:11) Therefore evil shall come upon you, and you shall not know its origin. And disaster shall fall upon you, and you shall not be able to cover it over. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not be informed of.
(Isaiah 47:12) Stand now with your charms, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored since your youth. Perhaps you will be able to profit; perhaps you may prevail.
(Isaiah 47:13) You are wearied by your many counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers and the fortunetellers step forth and save you from what shall come upon you.
(Isaiah 47:14) Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to be warmed with; nor a fire in front of which to sit.
(Isaiah 47:15) Thus shall they be to you with whom you have labored, your merchants from your youth. They shall wander, each one, to his own region; no one shall save you.
(Isaiah 48:1) Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah and make mention of the God of Israel (but not in truth nor in righteousness;
(Isaiah 48:2) for they name themselves as being of the holy city, and rest themselves on the God of Israel; Jehovah of Hosts is His name):
(Isaiah 48:3) I have declared the former things from the beginning, and they proceeded forth out of My mouth, and I proclaimed to them. I acted suddenly, and they came to pass,
(Isaiah 48:4) because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your brow bronze.
(Isaiah 48:5) I even declared it to you from the beginning. Before it happened I proclaimed it to you, lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image and my molten image has commanded them.
(Isaiah 48:6) You have heard; see all this. And will you not declare it? I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
(Isaiah 48:7) They are created now, and not since the beginning; even before the day when you did not hear them; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
(Isaiah 48:8) Surely you did not hear, surely you did not know; surely from long ago your ear was not opened. For I knew that you would deceive with treachery, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
(Isaiah 48:9) For My name’s sake I will prolong My anger, and for My praise I will restrain for you, so that I do not cut you off.
(Isaiah 48:10) Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
(Isaiah 48:11) For my own sake, for My own sake I will do it; for why should My name be defiled? And I will not give My glory to another.
(Isaiah 48:12) Listen to me O Jacob, and Israel My called; I am He; I am the first, I also am the last.
(Isaiah 48:13) My hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens. When I called to them, they stood up together.
(Isaiah 48:14) Let all of you gather and hear. Who among them has declared these things? Jehovah has loved him; He will do as He pleases upon Babylon, and His arm shall be upon the Chaldeans.
(Isaiah 48:15) I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him and made his way prosperous.
(Isaiah 48:16) Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From the time it existed, I was there; and now the Lord Jehovah, and His Spirit, has sent Me.
(Isaiah 48:17) Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
(Isaiah 48:18) Oh that you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
(Isaiah 48:19) Your seed also would have been like the sand, and the offspring of your womb like grains of sand; his name would not have been cut off nor destroyed from before My face.
(Isaiah 48:20) Go out from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare it with a resounding voice! Proclaim this; let it go forth to the ends of the earth! Say, Jehovah has redeemed His servant, Jacob!
(Isaiah 48:21) And they did not thirst when He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; He split open the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
(Isaiah 48:22) There is no peace, says Jehovah, unto the wicked.
(Isaiah 49:1) Listen to Me, O coastlands; and give attention, you people from afar; Jehovah has called Me from the womb; from My mother’s belly He has made mention of My name.
(Isaiah 49:2) And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, and made Me a polished shaft. He has hidden Me in His quiver,
(Isaiah 49:3) and said to Me, You are My servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
(Isaiah 49:4) Then I said, I have labored in vain; I have spent My strength for nothing, and in vain; yet surely My just due is with Jehovah, and My work with My God.
(Isaiah 49:5) And now, says Jehovah who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet I shall be glorious in the eyes of Jehovah, and My God shall be My strength.
(Isaiah 49:6) And He said, It is but a little thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light to the nations, to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.
(Isaiah 49:7) Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, to Him whom man despises, to Him whom the nation loathes, the Servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, rulers also shall bow down, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, and He shall choose You.
(Isaiah 49:8) Thus says Jehovah: In a favorable time I have answered You, and in a day of salvation I have helped You; and I will preserve You, and give You as a covenant to the people, to establish the earth, to cause them to inherit the desolate possessions;
(Isaiah 49:9) that You may say to the prisoners, Go out! To those who are in darkness, Show yourselves! They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be on all the barren heights.
(Isaiah 49:10) They shall not hunger nor thirst; nor shall the heat nor sun strike them; for He who has mercy on them will lead them; even by the springs of water He will guide them.
(Isaiah 49:11) And I will make all My mountains a way, and My highways shall be elevated.
(Isaiah 49:12) Behold, these shall come from afar; and, lo, those from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
(Isaiah 49:13) Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out into singing, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.
(Isaiah 49:14) But Zion said, Jehovah has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.
(Isaiah 49:15) Can a woman forget her nursing infant, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Indeed, they may forget; yet I will not forget you.
(Isaiah 49:16) Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are perpetually before Me.
(Isaiah 49:17) Your children shall make haste; those destroying you and laying waste to you shall go out from you.
(Isaiah 49:18) Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather and come to you. As I live, says Jehovah, you shall surely wear them as an ornament, and bind them on you as a bride does.
(Isaiah 49:19) For your waste and desolate places, and the land of your destruction, shall even now be too constricted to dwell there, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
(Isaiah 49:20) The sons of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; let a place come to me so that I may have room to dwell.

(Isaiah 49:22) Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up My banner to the people; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
(Isaiah 49:23) And kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your wet nurses. They shall bow down to you, with faces to the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet. And you shall know that I am Jehovah; for they who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.
(Isaiah 49:24) Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
(Isaiah 49:25) But thus says Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the ruthless shall escape. For I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
(Isaiah 49:26) And I will feed those who oppress you, with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

(Isaiah 50:2) Why, when I came, was no one here? I called and no one answered. Is My hand shortened at all so that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink, because there is no water, and die of thirst.
(Isaiah 50:3) I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

(Isaiah 50:10) Who among you fears Jehovah? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah and rest on his God.
(Isaiah 50:11) Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who are surrounded with sparks; walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks which you have kindled. This you shall have from My hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
(Isaiah 51:1) Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek Jehovah: Look to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you have been dug.

(Isaiah 51:6) Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall become old like a garment; and its inhabitants shall die in the same way. But My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not be broken.
(Isaiah 51:7) Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My Law; do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their revilings.
(Isaiah 51:8) For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My righteousness shall be forever, and My salvation from generation to generation.
(Isaiah 51:9) Awake! awake! Put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in the days of antiquity, in the generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab into pieces, wounding the dragon?
(Isaiah 51:10) Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
(Isaiah 51:11) Therefore the redeemed of Jehovah shall return and come with singing into Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their head. Gladness and joy shall overtake them; sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
(Isaiah 51:12) I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you, that you should fear a man, who shall die; or the son of man, who shall be made as grass?
(Isaiah 51:13) And you forget Jehovah your Maker, who has stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. And you dread continually, every day, because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy. And where is the fury of the oppressor?
(Isaiah 51:14) Stooped over he hurries to be loosed, so that he should not die in the pit, nor lack his bread.
(Isaiah 51:15) But I am Jehovah your God, who divided the sea, whose waves roared; Jehovah of Hosts is His name.
(Isaiah 51:16) And I have put My Words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, You are My people.

(Isaiah 51:18) There is no one to guide her among all the sons she has borne; and no one takes her by the hand of all the sons that she has raised.
(Isaiah 51:19) These two things have come upon you, who shall be sorry for you? Desolation, and destruction, and famine, and the sword. By whom shall I comfort you?
(Isaiah 51:20) Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets like a wild animal in a net, filled with the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.
(Isaiah 51:21) Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, and drunk, but not with wine.
(Isaiah 51:22) Thus says your Lord, Jehovah, and your God who pleads the case of His people: Behold, I have taken the cup of staggering out of your hand, even the dregs of the cup of My fury; you shall never drink it again.
(Isaiah 51:23) But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, Bow down so that we may pass over; and lay your back on the ground, even as the street, for those who cross over.
(Isaiah 52:1) Awake! Awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the Holy City. For never again shall the uncircumcised and unclean come into you.
(Isaiah 52:2) Shake yourself from the dust; rise up! Sit down, Jerusalem! Loose yourself from your neckbands, O captive daughter of Zion.
(Isaiah 52:3) For thus says Jehovah, You have sold yourselves for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without silver.
(Isaiah 52:4) For thus says the Lord Jehovah, My people went down before into Egypt to stay there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
(Isaiah 52:5) Now therefore, what have I here, says Jehovah, that My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule make them howl, says Jehovah; and My name is continually blasphemed every day.
(Isaiah 52:6) Therefore My people shall know My name. Thus it shall be in that day, for I am He who speaks; behold, it is I.
(Isaiah 52:7) How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him bringing good tidings, proclaiming peace; bringing good news, proclaiming salvation; who says to Zion, Your God reigns!
(Isaiah 52:8) Your watchmen shall lift up the voice! They shall lift up the voice together in a resounding cry; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah brings Zion back.
(Isaiah 52:9) Break forth together into a resounding cry of joy, you waste places of Jerusalem! For Jehovah has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
(Isaiah 52:10) Jehovah has bared His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
(Isaiah 52:11) Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch not the unclean. Go out of her midst; purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Jehovah.
(Isaiah 52:12) For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel gathers you.
(Isaiah 52:13) Behold, My Servant shall deal with insight; He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
(Isaiah 52:14) Just as many were astonished at You (His appearance was disfigured more than any man, and His form more than the sons of mankind);
(Isaiah 52:15) so shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; for that which had not been told to them, they shall see; and what they had not heard, they shall consider.
(Isaiah 53:1) Who has believed Our report? And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
(Isaiah 53:2) For He grows up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of the dry ground. He has no form nor splendor that we should regard Him, nor anything spectacular that we should desire Him.
(Isaiah 53:3) He is despised and rejected by men; a Man of pain, and knowing infirmity; a hiding of faces; being despised, we have esteemed Him not.
(Isaiah 53:4) Truly He has borne our sicknesses, and carried our pain; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
(Isaiah 53:5) But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.
(Isaiah 53:6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, each one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.
(Isaiah 53:7) He has been oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opens not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is mute, so He opens not His mouth.
(Isaiah 53:8) He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of My people He was stricken.
(Isaiah 53:9) And His grave was assigned with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; although He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.
(Isaiah 53:10) Yet it pleased Jehovah to crush Him; to grieve Him; that He should give His soul as a sin-offering. He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the delight of Jehovah shall prosper in His hand.
(Isaiah 53:11) He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be fulfilled. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.
(Isaiah 53:12) Therefore I will apportion to Him with the great, and He shall divide the spoils with the strong; because He has poured out His soul unto death; and He was reckoned among the transgressors; and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
(Isaiah 54:1) Rejoice, O barren one, you who have not borne; break forth into screams of delight, you who have not writhed in pangs. For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the one who is married, says Jehovah.
(Isaiah 54:2) Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings. Do not spare, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes;
(Isaiah 54:3) for you shall burst forth on the right hand and on the left. And your seed shall inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited.
(Isaiah 54:4) Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed; nor be humiliated, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.
(Isaiah 54:5) For your Maker is your husband; Jehovah of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. He shall be called, GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.
(Isaiah 54:6) For Jehovah has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a wife of youth, when you were rejected, says your God.
(Isaiah 54:7) For a brief moment I have left you; but with great mercies I will gather you.
(Isaiah 54:8) In overflowing wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy upon you, says Jehovah your Redeemer.
(Isaiah 54:9) For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should never again overflow the earth, so I have sworn to not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
(Isaiah 54:10) For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed, says Jehovah, who has mercy on you.
(Isaiah 54:11) O you afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
(Isaiah 54:12) And I will make your pinnacles of ruby, and your gates of sparkling stones, and all your borders of delightful stones.
(Isaiah 54:13) And all your children shall be taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of your children.
(Isaiah 54:14) In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
(Isaiah 54:15) Indeed, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me; whoever shall gather against you, by you he shall fall.
(Isaiah 54:16) Behold, I have created the smith who blows the coals in the fire, and who brings out a tool for his work; and I have created the one who ruins to destroy.
(Isaiah 54:17) No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness is from Me, says Jehovah.
(Isaiah 55:1) Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
(Isaiah 55:2) Why do you weigh out money for what is not bread, and your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
(Isaiah 55:3) Extend your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
(Isaiah 55:4) Behold, I have given him as a witness to the people, a leader and commander of people.
(Isaiah 55:5) Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and nations that did not know you shall run to you because of Jehovah your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.
(Isaiah 55:6) Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.
(Isaiah 55:7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
(Isaiah 55:8) For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says Jehovah.
(Isaiah 55:9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
(Isaiah 55:10) For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
(Isaiah 55:11) so shall My Word be, which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall succeed in that for which I have sent it.
(Isaiah 55:12) For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into praise, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
(Isaiah 55:13) Instead of the thorn, the fir tree shall come up; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree shall come up; and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for a perpetual sign that shall not be cut off.
(Isaiah 56:1) Thus says Jehovah, Keep justice and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.
(Isaiah 56:2) Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps from defiling the sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
(Isaiah 56:3) And do not let the son of the foreigner, who has joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah has utterly separated me from His people. And do not let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
(Isaiah 56:4) For thus says Jehovah to the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose what pleases Me, and hold fast to My covenant:
(Isaiah 56:5) Even to them will I give within My house and within My walls a share and a name better than that of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.
(Isaiah 56:6) Also the children of the foreigner, who join themselves to Jehovah to serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be His servants, everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast to My covenant:
(Isaiah 56:7) Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.
(Isaiah 56:8) Thus says the Lord Jehovah who gathers the outcasts of Israel, Yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him.
(Isaiah 56:9) All you beasts of the field, come to devour, all you beasts in the forest.
(Isaiah 56:10) His watchmen are blind; they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs who cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

(Isaiah 57:2) He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
(Isaiah 57:3) But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, you seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
(Isaiah 57:4) Of whom do you make sport? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, a seed of deception,
(Isaiah 57:5) being inflamed with gods under every green tree, slaughtering the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
(Isaiah 57:6) Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, even they, are your lot; even to them you have poured a drink offering, you have offered a food offering. Should I be comforted over these?
(Isaiah 57:7) On a lofty and high mountain you have set your bed; even there you went up to offer sacrifice.
(Isaiah 57:8) Also behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorials; for you uncovered yourself and went up to those other than Me. You enlarged your bed and made a covenant with them; you have loved to experience their bed first hand.
(Isaiah 57:9) And you went to the king with ointment, and increased your perfumes, and sent your messengers far away, and lowered yourself even to Sheol.
(Isaiah 57:10) You are wearied in the length of your way; yet you did not say, There is no hope! You found life in your hand; therefore you were not weak.
(Isaiah 57:11) And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied and have not remembered Me, nor laid it to your heart? Have I not been silent, even for a long time, and you did not fear Me?
(Isaiah 57:12) I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not be of any benefit to you.
(Isaiah 57:13) When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; a breath shall take them. But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.
(Isaiah 57:14) And He shall say, Raise up! Raise up! Clear a path! Remove the stumbling block out of the way of My people.
(Isaiah 57:15) For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and consecrated place, even with the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
(Isaiah 57:16) For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before Me, and the souls I have made.
(Isaiah 57:17) For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid Myself and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
(Isaiah 57:18) I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
(Isaiah 57:19) I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off, and to him who is near, says Jehovah; and I will heal him.
(Isaiah 57:20) But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
(Isaiah 57:21) There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
(Isaiah 58:1) Cry aloud, do not spare; lift up your voice like a shofar, and declare to My people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
(Isaiah 58:2) Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in drawing near to God.
(Isaiah 58:3) They say, Why have we fasted, and You do not see? Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice? Behold, in the day of your fast you devise pleasures, and oppress all your laborers.
(Isaiah 58:4) Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness; you shall not fast as you do today, to make your voice heard on high.
(Isaiah 58:5) Is it such a fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast and a day pleasing to Jehovah?
(Isaiah 58:6) Is not this the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
(Isaiah 58:7) Is it not to break your bread to the hungry, and that you should bring home the wandering poor? When you see the naked to cover him; and not hide yourself from your own flesh?
(Isaiah 58:8) Then shall your light break forth as the dawn, and your health shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Jehovah shall bring up the rear.
(Isaiah 58:9) Then you shall call, and Jehovah will answer; you shall cry out, and He shall say, Here I am. If you take the yoke away from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness;
(Isaiah 58:10) and if you extend your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light shine in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.
(Isaiah 58:11) And Jehovah shall guide you continually and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones fat; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
(Isaiah 58:12) And those from among you shall build the old ruins; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Paths to Dwell in.
(Isaiah 58:13) If you turn back your foot, on the Sabbath, from doing what you please on My holy days, and call the Sabbath a delight, the sacred of Jehovah, honorable; and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
(Isaiah 58:14) then you shall delight yourself in Jehovah; and I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of Jehovah has spoken.
(Isaiah 59:1) Behold, Jehovah’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor is His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
(Isaiah 59:2) But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, that He will not hear.
(Isaiah 59:3) For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has uttered perverseness.
(Isaiah 59:4) No one calls for justice, nor does anyone plead for truth; they trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.
(Isaiah 59:5) They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; he who eats their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
(Isaiah 59:6) Their webs shall not become garments, nor shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
(Isaiah 59:7) Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their paths.
(Isaiah 59:8) The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their paths. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them shall not know peace.
(Isaiah 59:9) Therefore justice is far from us; nor does righteousness overtake us. We wait for daylight, but behold, the night; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
(Isaiah 59:10) We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places like dead men.
(Isaiah 59:11) We all roar like bears, and mourn with moaning like doves; we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
(Isaiah 59:12) For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. For our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
(Isaiah 59:13) in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and backsliding from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
(Isaiah 59:14) And justice is driven back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
(Isaiah 59:15) Yea, truth fails; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice.
(Isaiah 59:16) And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore His own arm brought salvation unto Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him.
(Isaiah 59:17) For He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head. And He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was covered with zeal as a cloak.
(Isaiah 59:18) According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay; fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies. He will completely repay their deeds to the coastlands.
(Isaiah 59:19) So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah shall drive him out.
(Isaiah 59:20) And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says Jehovah.

(Isaiah 60:9) Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish will come first, to bring your children from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of Jehovah your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because He has glorified you.
(Isaiah 60:10) And the sons of foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall serve you; for in My wrath I struck you, but in My favor I have had mercy upon you.
(Isaiah 60:11) Therefore your gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day or night, to bring to you the wealth of the nations, and that their kings may be led.
(Isaiah 60:12) For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish. Yes, those nations will be wasted unto desolation.
(Isaiah 60:13) The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of My sanctuary; and I will make the place of My feet glorious.
(Isaiah 60:14) Also the sons of those who afflicted you shall come bowing to you; and all those who despised you shall prostrate themselves at the soles of your feet. And they shall call you, The City of Jehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
(Isaiah 60:15) Whereas you were forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through, I will make you a perpetual majesty, a joy of many generations.
(Isaiah 60:16) You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and suckle the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

(Isaiah 60:21) Your people also shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified.
(Isaiah 60:22) A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.
(Isaiah 61:1) The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
(Isaiah 61:2) to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
(Isaiah 61:3) to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that He might be glorified.

(Isaiah 61:10) I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garment of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness like a bridegroom adorns himself with ornaments, and like a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
(Isaiah 61:11) For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes that which is sown to grow; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

(Isaiah 63:1) Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this One adorned in His apparel, flexing His great strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
(Isaiah 63:2) Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
(Isaiah 63:3) I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no one with Me; for I tread them in My anger and trample them in My fury, and their blood is sprinkled on My garments, and I have stained all My apparel.
(Isaiah 63:4) For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.

(Isaiah 63:11) Then He remembered the days of old, Moses and His people, saying, Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within him;
(Isaiah 63:12) who led them by the right hand of Moses with His glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make for Himself an everlasting name?
(Isaiah 63:13) He led them through the deep, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they might not stumble.
(Isaiah 63:14) As a beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused him to rest. So You led Your people, to make for Yourself a glorious name.
(Isaiah 63:15) Look down from Heaven, and look down from the place of Your holiness and of Your glory. Where is Your zeal and Your strength, the multitude of Your tender affections and of Your mercies toward me? Are they restrained?
(Isaiah 63:16) Indeed, You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer; Your name is from everlasting.
(Isaiah 63:17) O Jehovah, why have You made us wander from Your ways, and hardened our heart from Your fear? For the sake of Your servants, return the tribes of Your inheritance.
(Isaiah 63:18) The people of Your holiness have possessed it but a little while; our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
(Isaiah 63:19) We are from antiquity; You never ruled over them; they were never called by Your name.
(Isaiah 64:1) Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down! That the mountains would quake at Your presence,
(Isaiah 64:2) as the brushwood fire burns, as the fire causes water to boil; to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!
(Isaiah 64:3) When You did awesome things which we did not look for, You came down, the mountains shook at Your presence.
(Isaiah 64:4) For since ancient times they have not heard, nor been obedient. Eye has not seen any god besides You, who works for him who waits for Him.
(Isaiah 64:5) You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember You in Your ways (Behold, You were angry, for we sinned continually), and we shall be saved.
(Isaiah 64:6) But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
(Isaiah 64:7) And there is no one who calls upon Your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us, and have melted us away because of our iniquities.
(Isaiah 64:8) But now, O Jehovah, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the One who forms us; and we all are the work of Your hand.
(Isaiah 64:9) Do not be greatly furious, O Jehovah, nor remember iniquity forever. Behold, please look. We all are Your people.
(Isaiah 64:10) Your holy cities are a wilderness; Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem is a desolation.
(Isaiah 64:11) Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised You, is burned up with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
(Isaiah 64:12) Will You restrain Yourself over these things, O Jehovah? Will You be silent and greatly afflict us?
(Isaiah 65:1) I am sought by those who asked not for Me; I am found by those who did not seek Me. I had said, Look to Me, Look to Me; to a nation that was not calling upon My name.
(Isaiah 65:2) I have spread out My hands all the day to a rebellious people who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
(Isaiah 65:3) a people who continually provoke Me to anger to My face; who sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense on altars of bricks;
(Isaiah 65:4) who remain among the graves, and spend the night in the tombs, who eat swine’s flesh, and the broth of unclean things in their vessels;
(Isaiah 65:5) who say, Keep to yourself, do not come near me; for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burns all the day.
(Isaiah 65:6) Behold, it is written before Me; I will not be silent, but what I will repay; yea, I will repay into their bosom
(Isaiah 65:7) your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Jehovah, who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed Me on the hills. Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.
(Isaiah 65:8) Thus says Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it; so I will do to My servants, that I may not destroy them all.
(Isaiah 65:9) And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who inherits My mountains; and My elect shall inherit it, and My servants shall dwell there.
(Isaiah 65:10) And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who have sought Me.
(Isaiah 65:11) But you are those who forsake Jehovah, who forget My holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who furnish the drink offering to Fate.
(Isaiah 65:12) Therefore I have assigned you to the sword; and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear, but did evil before My eyes, and chose that in which I have not delighted.
(Isaiah 65:13) Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, My servants will eat, but you shall be hungry. Behold, My servants will drink, but you shall be thirsty. Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you shall be ashamed.
(Isaiah 65:14) Behold, My servants will sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl because of a crushed spirit.
(Isaiah 65:15) And you shall leave your name as a curse to My elect; for the Lord Jehovah will kill you, and call His servants by another name.
(Isaiah 65:16) He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth. And he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from My eyes.
(Isaiah 65:17) For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth. And the former shall not be remembered, nor come to mind.
(Isaiah 65:18) But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, and her people as a joy.
(Isaiah 65:19) I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, and exulted in My people. And the voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
(Isaiah 65:20) There shall not be an infant of only a few days, nor an old man that has not fulfilled his days. For the child shall die at a hundred years old; but the sinner who is a hundred years old shall be accursed.
(Isaiah 65:21) And they shall build houses and live in them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
(Isaiah 65:22) They shall not build, and another live in them; they shall not plant, and another eat. For as the days of a tree are the days of My people, and My elect shall grow old enjoying the work of their hands.
(Isaiah 65:23) They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for terror. For they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them.
(Isaiah 65:24) And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
(Isaiah 65:25) The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says Jehovah.
(Isaiah 66:1) Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you would build for Me? And where is the place of My rest?
(Isaiah 66:2) For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says Jehovah. But to this one will I have regard: To the lowly and contrite of spirit, and the one who trembles at My Word.
(Isaiah 66:3) He who kills an ox is as if he killed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb is as if he broke a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering is as if he offered swine’s blood; he who burns incense is as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
(Isaiah 66:4) I also will choose the things that delude them, and I will bring their fears upon them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they have not obeyed. But they did evil before My eyes and have chosen that in which I have not delighted.
(Isaiah 66:5) Hear the Word of Jehovah, you who tremble at His Word: Your brothers who hated you, who cast you out because of My name, said, Let Jehovah be glorified. But He will appear for your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
(Isaiah 66:6) A roaring sound from the city, a sound from the temple, the sound of Jehovah repaying His enemies.
(Isaiah 66:7) Before she writhed in labor, she gave birth; before her pangs came, she delivered a male child.
(Isaiah 66:8) Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion had gone into labor, she had brought forth her children.
(Isaiah 66:9) Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth, says Jehovah? Shall I beget, and then restrain the womb? says your God.
(Isaiah 66:10) Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
(Isaiah 66:11) that you may suckle and be satisfied with her comforting breasts; that you may suck milk and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
(Isaiah 66:12) For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like a flowing stream. Then you shall suckle, you shall be carried on her sides and be dandled upon her knees.
(Isaiah 66:13) As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
(Isaiah 66:14) And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass. And the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward His servants, and His indignation toward His enemies.
(Isaiah 66:15) For behold, Jehovah will come with fire and with His chariots like a tempest, to refresh His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.
(Isaiah 66:16) For by fire and by His sword Jehovah will judge all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.
(Isaiah 66:17) Those who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves to go into the garden after an idol that is in its midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall come to an end together, says Jehovah.
(Isaiah 66:18) For I know their works and their thoughts. It shall come to pass that I will gather all the nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.
(Isaiah 66:19) And I will set a sign among them. And those among them who escape I will send to the nations; to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud (who draw the bow), to Tubal, and Javan; to the far away coasts that have not heard of My fame, nor seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the nations.
(Isaiah 66:20) And they shall bring all your brothers for an offering to Jehovah out of all nations on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.
(Isaiah 66:21) And I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites, says Jehovah.
(Isaiah 66:22) For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, says Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.
(Isaiah 66:23) And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to bow down before Me, says Jehovah.
(Isaiah 66:24) And they shall go out and observe the dead corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me. For their worm does not die, nor is their fire quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
