The meek [06035] also shall increase [03254] their joy [08057] in the Lord [03068], and the poor [034] among men [0120] shall rejoice [01523] in the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478].increase: Heb. add
Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], who redeemed [06299] Abraham [085], concerning the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], Jacob [03290] shall not now be ashamed [0954], neither shall his face [06440] now wax pale [02357].
Woe [01945] to the rebellious [05637] children [01121], saith [05002] the Lord [03068], that take [06213] counsel [06098], but not of me; and that cover [05258] with a covering [04541], but not of my spirit [07307], that they may add [05595] sin [02403] to sin [02403]:
That this is a rebellious [04805] people [05971], lying [03586] children [01121], children [01121] that will [014] not hear [08085] the law [08451] of the Lord [03068]:
And therefore will the Lord [03068] wait [02442], that he may be gracious [02603] unto you, and therefore will he be exalted [07311], that he may have mercy [07355] upon you: for the Lord [03068] is a God [0430] of judgment [04941]: blessed [0835] are all they that wait [02442] for him.
Moreover the light [0216] of the moon [03842] shall be as the light [0216] of the sun [02535], and the light [0216] of the sun [02535] shall be sevenfold [07659], as the light [0216] of seven [07651] days [03117], in the day [03117] that the Lord [03068] bindeth up [02280] the breach [07667] of his people [05971], and healeth [07495] the stroke [04273] of their wound [04347].
Behold, the name [08034] of the Lord [03068] cometh [0935] from far [04801], burning [01197] with his anger [0639], and the burden [04858] thereof is heavy [03514]: his lips [08193] are full [04390] of indignation [02195], and his tongue [03956] as a devouring [0398] fire [0784]:burden…: or, grievousness of flameheavy: Heb. heaviness
Ye shall have a song [07892], as in the night [03915] when a holy [06942] solemnity [02282] is kept [06942]; and gladness [08057] of heart [03824], as when one goeth [01980] with a pipe [02485] to come [0935] into the mountain [02022] of the Lord [03068], to the mighty One [06697] of Israel [03478].mighty…: Heb. Rock
And the Lord [03068] shall cause his glorious [01935] voice [06963] to be heard [08085], and shall shew [07200] the lighting down [05183] of his arm [02220], with the indignation [02197] of his anger [0639], and with the flame [03851] of a devouring [0398] fire [0784], with scattering [05311], and tempest [02230], and hailstones [01259] [068].his glorious…: Heb. the glory of his voice
For through the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] shall the Assyrian [0804] be beaten down [02865], which smote [05221] with a rod [07626].
And in every place [03605] where the grounded [04145] staff [04294] shall pass [04569], which the Lord [03068] shall lay [05117] upon him, it shall be with tabrets [08596] and harps [03658]: and in battles [04421] of shaking [08573] will he fight [03898] with it.in every…: Heb. every passing of the rod foundedlay…: Heb. cause to rest uponwith it: or, against them
For Tophet [08613] is ordained [06186] of old [0865]; yea, for the king [04428] it is prepared [03559]; he hath made it deep [06009] and large [07337]: the pile [04071] thereof is fire [0784] and much [07235] wood [06086]; the breath [05397] of the Lord [03068], like a stream [05158] of brimstone [01614], doth kindle [01197] it.of old: Heb. from yesterday
Woe [01945] to them that go down [03381] to Egypt [04714] for help [05833]; and stay [08172] on horses [05483], and trust [0982] in chariots [07393], because they are many [07227]; and in horsemen [06571], because they are very [03966] strong [06105]; but they look [08159] not unto the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], neither seek [01875] the Lord [03068]!
Now the Egyptians [04714] are men [0120], and not God [0410]; and their horses [05483] flesh [01320], and not spirit [07307]. When the Lord [03068] shall stretch out [05186] his hand [03027], both he that helpeth [05826] shall fall [03782], and he that is holpen [05826] shall fall down [05307], and they all shall fail [03615] together [03162].
For thus hath the Lord [03068] spoken [0559] unto me, Like as the lion [0738] and the young lion [03715] roaring [01897] on his prey [02964], when a multitude [04393] of shepherds [07462] is called forth [07121] against him, he will not be afraid [02865] of their voice [06963], nor abase [06031] himself for the noise [01995] of them: so shall the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635] come down [03381] to fight [06633] for mount [02022] Zion [06726], and for the hill [01389] thereof.noise: or, multitude
As birds [06833] flying [05774], so will the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635] defend [01598] Jerusalem [03389]; defending [01598] also he will deliver [05337] it; and passing over [06452] he will preserve [04422] it.
And he shall pass over [05674] to his strong hold [05553] for fear [04032], and his princes [08269] shall be afraid [02865] of the ensign [05251], saith [05002] the Lord [03068], whose fire [0217] is in Zion [06726], and his furnace [08574] in Jerusalem [03389].he…: Heb. his rock shall pass away for fearhis strong hold: or, his strength
For the vile person [05036] will speak [01696] villany [05039], and his heart [03820] will work [06213] iniquity [0205], to practise [06213] hypocrisy [02612], and to utter [01696] error [08442] against the Lord [03068], to make empty [07324] the soul [05315] of the hungry [07457], and he will cause the drink [04945] of the thirsty [06771] to fail [02637].
O Lord [03068], be gracious [02603] unto us; we have waited [06960] for thee: be thou their arm [02220] every morning [01242], our salvation [03444] also in the time [06256] of trouble [06869].
The Lord [03068] is exalted [07682]; for he dwelleth [07931] on high [04791]: he hath filled [04390] Zion [06726] with judgment [04941] and righteousness [06666].
And wisdom [02451] and knowledge [01847] shall be the stability [0530] of thy times [06256], and strength [02633] of salvation [03444]: the fear [03374] of the Lord [03068] is his treasure [0214].salvation: Heb. salvations
Now will I rise [06965], saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; now will I be exalted [07426]; now will I lift up [05375] myself.
But there the glorious [0117] Lord [03068] will be unto us a place [04725] of broad [03027] [07342] rivers [05104] and streams [02975]; wherein shall go [03212] no [01077] galley [0590] with oars [07885], neither shall gallant [0117] ship [06716] pass [05674] thereby.of…: Heb. broad of spaces, or, hands
For the Lord [03068] is our judge [08199], the Lord [03068] is our lawgiver [02710], the Lord [03068] is our king [04428]; he will save [03467] us.lawgiver: Heb. statutemaker
For the indignation [07110] of the Lord [03068] is upon all nations [01471], and his fury [02534] upon all their armies [06635]: he hath utterly destroyed [02763] them, he hath delivered [05414] them to the slaughter [02874].
The sword [02719] of the Lord [03068] is filled [04390] with blood [01818], it is made fat [01878] with fatness [02459], and with the blood [01818] of lambs [03733] and goats [06260], with the fat [02459] of the kidneys [03629] of rams [0352]: for the Lord [03068] hath a sacrifice [02077] in Bozrah [01224], and a great [01419] slaughter [02874] in the land [0776] of Idumea [0123].
For it is the day [03117] of the Lord's [03068] vengeance [05359], and the year [08141] of recompences [07966] for the controversy [07379] of Zion [06726].
Seek ye out [01875] of the book [05612] of the Lord [03068], and read [07121]: no one [0259] of these [02007] shall fail [05737], none [0802] shall want [06485] her mate [07468]: for my mouth [06310] it hath commanded [06680], and his spirit [07307] it hath gathered [06908] them.
It shall blossom [06524] abundantly [06524], and rejoice [01523] even with joy [01525] and singing [07444]: the glory [03519] of Lebanon [03844] shall be given [05414] unto it, the excellency [01926] of Carmel [03760] and Sharon [08289], they shall see [07200] the glory [03519] of the Lord [03068], and the excellency [01926] of our God [0430].
And the ransomed [06299] of the Lord [03068] shall return [07725], and come [0935] to Zion [06726] with songs [07440] and everlasting [05769] joy [08057] upon their heads [07218]: they shall obtain [05381] joy [08057] and gladness [08342], and sorrow [03015] and sighing [0585] shall flee away [05127].
But if thou say [0559] to me, We trust [0982] in the Lord [03068] our God [0430]: is it not he, whose high places [01116] and whose altars [04196] Hezekiah [02396] hath taken away [05493], and said [0559] to Judah [03063] and to Jerusalem [03389], Ye shall worship [07812] before [06440] this altar [04196]?
And am I now come up [05927] without [01107] the Lord [03068] against this land [0776] to destroy [07843] it? the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto me, Go up [05927] against this land [0776], and destroy [07843] it.
Neither let Hezekiah [02396] make you trust [0982] in the Lord [03068], saying [0559], The Lord [03068] will surely [05337] deliver [05337] us: this city [05892] shall not be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804].
Beware lest Hezekiah [02396] persuade [05496] you, saying [0559], The Lord [03068] will deliver [05337] us. Hath any [0376] of the gods [0430] of the nations [01471] delivered [05337] his land [0776] out of the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]?
Who are they among all the gods [0430] of these lands [0776], that have delivered [05337] their land [0776] out of my hand [03027], that the Lord [03068] should deliver [05337] Jerusalem [03389] out of my hand [03027]?
And it came to pass, when king [04428] Hezekiah [02396] heard [08085] it, that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899], and covered [03680] himself with sackcloth [08242], and went [0935] into the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].
It may be the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] will hear [08085] the words [01697] of Rabshakeh [07262], whom the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] his master [0113] hath sent [07971] to reproach [02778] the living [02416] God [0430], and will reprove [03198] the words [01697] which the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] hath heard [08085]: wherefore lift up [05375] thy prayer [08605] for the remnant [07611] that is left [04672].left: Heb. found
And Isaiah [03470] said [0559] unto them, Thus shall ye say [0559] unto your master [0113], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Be not afraid [03372] of [06440] the words [01697] that thou hast heard [08085], wherewith the servants [05288] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] have blasphemed [01442] me.
And Hezekiah [02396] received [03947] the letter [05612] from the hand [03027] of the messengers [04397], and read [07121] it: and Hezekiah [02396] went up [05927] unto the house [01004] of the Lord [03068], and spread [06566] it before [06440] the Lord [03068].
And Hezekiah [02396] prayed [06419] unto the Lord [03068], saying [0559],
O Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], God [0430] of Israel [03478], that dwellest [03427] between the cherubims [03742], thou art the God [0430], even thou alone, of all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776]: thou hast made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776].
Incline [05186] thine ear [0241], O Lord [03068], and hear [08085]; open [06491] thine eyes [05869], O Lord [03068], and see [07200]: and hear [08085] all the words [01697] of Sennacherib [05576], which hath sent [07971] to reproach [02778] the living [02416] God [0430].
Of a truth [0551], Lord [03068], the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] have laid waste [02717] all the nations [0776], and their countries [0776],nations: Heb. lands
Now therefore, O Lord [03068] our God [0430], save [03467] us from his hand [03027], that all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776] may know [03045] that thou art the Lord [03068], even thou only.
Then Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531] sent [07971] unto Hezekiah [02396], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Whereas thou hast prayed [06419] to me against Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804]:
This is the word [01697] which the Lord [03068] hath spoken [01696] concerning him; The virgin [01330], the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726], hath despised [0959] thee, and laughed thee to scorn [03932]; the daughter [01323] of Jerusalem [03389] hath shaken [05128] her head [07218] at thee [0310].
For out of Jerusalem [03389] shall go forth [03318] a remnant [07611], and they that escape [06413] out of mount [02022] Zion [06726]: the zeal [07068] of the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635] shall do [06213] this.they…: Heb. the escaping
Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] concerning the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], He shall not come [0935] into this city [05892], nor shoot [03384] an arrow [02671] there, nor come before [06923] it with shields [04043], nor cast [08210] a bank [05550] against it.
By the way [01870] that he came [0935], by the same shall he return [07725], and shall not come [0935] into this city [05892], saith [05002] the Lord [03068].
Then the angel [04397] of the Lord [03068] went forth [03318], and smote [05221] in the camp [04264] of the Assyrians [0804] a hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084] and five [02568] thousand [0505]: and when they arose early [07925] in the morning [01242], behold, they were all dead [04191] corpses [06297].
In those days [03117] was Hezekiah [02396] sick [02470] unto death [04191]. And Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531] came [0935] unto him, and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Set thine house [01004] in order [06680]: for thou shalt die [04191], and not live [02421].Set…: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house
Then Hezekiah [02396] turned [05437] his face [06440] toward the wall [07023], and prayed [06419] unto the Lord [03068],
And said [0559], Remember [02142] now, O Lord [03068], I beseech [0577] thee, how I have walked [01980] before [06440] thee in truth [0571] and with a perfect [08003] heart [03820], and have done [06213] that which is good [02896] in thy sight [05869]. And Hezekiah [02396] wept [01065] [01058] sore [01419].sore: Heb. with great weeping
Then came the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] to Isaiah [03470], saying [0559],
Go [01980], and say [0559] to Hezekiah [02396], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], the God [0430] of David [01732] thy father [01], I have heard [08085] thy prayer [08605], I have seen [07200] thy tears [01832]: behold, I will add [03254] unto thy days [03117] fifteen [06240] [02568] years [08141].
And this shall be a sign [0226] unto thee from the Lord [03068], that the Lord [03068] will do [06213] this thing [01697] that he hath spoken [01696];
Like a crane [05483] or a swallow [05693], so did I chatter [06850]: I did mourn [01897] as a dove [03123]: mine eyes [05869] fail [01809] with looking upward [04791]: O Lord [03068], I am oppressed [06234]; undertake [06148] for me.undertake…: or, ease me
The Lord [03068] was ready to save [03467] me: therefore we will sing my songs [05058] to the stringed instruments [05059] all the days [03117] of our life [02416] in the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].
Hezekiah [02396] also had said [0559], What is the sign [0226] that I shall go up [05927] to the house [01004] of the Lord [03068]?
Then said [0559] Isaiah [03470] to Hezekiah [02396], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635]:
Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], that all that is in thine house [01004], and that which thy fathers [01] have laid up in store [0686] until this day [03117], shall be carried [05375] to Babylon [0894]: nothing [01697] shall be left [03498], saith [0559] the Lord [03068].
Then said [0559] Hezekiah [02396] to Isaiah [03470], Good [02896] is the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] which thou hast spoken [01696]. He said [0559] moreover, For there shall be peace [07965] and truth [0571] in my days [03117].
Speak [01696] ye comfortably [03820] to Jerusalem [03389], and cry [07121] unto her, that her warfare [06635] is accomplished [04390], that her iniquity [05771] is pardoned [07521]: for she hath received [03947] of the Lord's [03068] hand [03027] double [03718] for all her sins [02403].comfortably: Heb. to the heartwarfare: or, appointed time
The voice [06963] of him that crieth [07121] in the wilderness [04057], Prepare [06437] ye the way [01870] of the Lord [03068], make straight [03474] in the desert [06160] a highway [04546] for our God [0430].
And the glory [03519] of the Lord [03068] shall be revealed [01540], and all flesh [01320] shall see [07200] it together [03162]: for the mouth [06310] of the Lord [03068] hath spoken [01696] it.
The grass [02682] withereth [03001], the flower [06731] fadeth [05034]: because the spirit [07307] of the Lord [03068] bloweth [05380] upon it: surely [0403] the people [05971] is grass [02682].
Who hath directed [08505] the Spirit [07307] of the Lord [03068], or being his counsellor [06098] [0376] hath taught [03045] him?his…: Heb. man of his counsel

Therefore the redeemed [06299] of the Lord [03068] shall return [07725], and come [0935] with singing [07440] unto Zion [06726]; and everlasting [05769] joy [08057] shall be upon their head [07218]: they shall obtain [05381] gladness [08342] and joy [08057]; and sorrow [03015] and mourning [0585] shall flee away [05127].
And forgettest [07911] the Lord [03068] thy maker [06213], that hath stretched forth [05186] the heavens [08064], and laid the foundations [03245] of the earth [0776]; and hast feared [06342] continually [08548] every day [03117] because [06440] of the fury [02534] of the oppressor [06693], as if [0834] he were ready [03559] to destroy [07843]? and where is the fury [02534] of the oppressor [06693]?were…: or, made himself ready
But I am the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], that divided [07280] the sea [03220], whose waves [01530] roared [01993]: The Lord [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034].
Awake [05782], awake [05782], stand up [06965], O Jerusalem [03389], which hast drunk [08354] at the hand [03027] of the Lord [03068] the cup [03563] of his fury [02534]; thou hast drunken [08354] the dregs [06907] of the cup [03563] of trembling [08653], and wrung them out [04680].
Thy sons [01121] have fainted [05968], they lie [07901] at the head [07218] of all the streets [02351], as a wild bull [08377] in a net [04364]: they are full [04392] of the fury [02534] of the Lord [03068], the rebuke [01606] of thy God [0430].
Thus saith [0559] thy Lord [0113] the Lord [03068], and thy God [0430] that pleadeth [07378] the cause of his people [05971], Behold, I have taken out [03947] of thine hand [03027] the cup [03563] of trembling [08653], even the dregs [06907] of the cup [03563] of my fury [02534]; thou shalt no more [03254] drink it again [08354]:
For thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Ye have sold [04376] yourselves for nought [02600]; and ye shall be redeemed [01350] without money [03701].
Now therefore, what have I here, saith [05002] the Lord [03068], that my people [05971] is taken away [03947] for nought [02600]? they that rule [04910] over them make them to howl [03213], saith [05002] the Lord [03068]; and my name [08034] continually [08548] every day [03117] is blasphemed [05006].
Thy watchmen [06822] shall lift up [05375] the voice [06963]; with the voice [06963] together [03162] shall they sing [07442]: for they shall see [07200] eye [05869] to eye [05869], when the Lord [03068] shall bring again [07725] Zion [06726].
Break forth into joy [06476], sing [07442] together [03162], ye waste places [02723] of Jerusalem [03389]: for the Lord [03068] hath comforted [05162] his people [05971], he hath redeemed [01350] Jerusalem [03389].
The Lord [03068] hath made bare [02834] his holy [06944] arm [02220] in the eyes [05869] of all the nations [01471]; and all the ends [0657] of the earth [0776] shall see [07200] the salvation [03444] of our God [0430].
Depart [05493] ye, depart [05493] ye, go ye out [03318] from thence, touch [05060] no unclean [02931] thing; go ye out [03318] of the midst [08432] of her; be ye clean [01305], that bear [05375] the vessels [03627] of the Lord [03068].
For ye shall not go out [03318] with haste [02649], nor go [03212] by flight [04499]: for the Lord [03068] will go [01980] before [06440] you; and the God [0430] of Israel [03478] will be your rereward [0622].be…: Heb. gather you up

Yet it pleased [02654] the Lord [03068] to bruise [01792] him; he hath put him to grief [02470]: when thou shalt make [07760] his soul [05315] an offering for sin [0817], he shall see [07200] his seed [02233], he shall prolong [0748] his days [03117], and the pleasure [02656] of the Lord [03068] shall prosper [06743] in his hand [03027].thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering
Sing [07442], O barren [06135], thou that didst not bear [03205]; break forth [06476] into singing [07440], and cry aloud [06670], thou that didst not travail with child [02342]: for more [07227] are the children [01121] of the desolate [08074] than the children [01121] of the married wife [01166], saith [0559] the Lord [03068].
For thy Maker [06213] is thine husband [01166]; the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]; and thy Redeemer [01350] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; The God [0430] of the whole earth [0776] shall he be called [07121].Maker: Heb. Makers

In a little [08241] wrath [07110] I hid [05641] my face [06440] from thee for a moment [07281]; but with everlasting [05769] kindness [02617] will I have mercy [07355] on thee, saith [0559] the Lord [03068] thy Redeemer [01350].
For the mountains [02022] shall depart [04185], and the hills [01389] be removed [04131]; but my kindness [02617] shall not depart [04185] from thee, neither shall the covenant [01285] of my peace [07965] be removed [04131], saith [0559] the Lord [03068] that hath mercy [07355] on thee.
And all thy children [01121] shall be taught [03928] of the Lord [03068]; and great [07227] shall be the peace [07965] of thy children [01121].
No weapon [03627] that is formed [03335] against thee shall prosper [06743]; and every tongue [03956] that shall rise [06965] against thee in judgment [04941] thou shalt condemn [07561]. This is the heritage [05159] of the servants [05650] of the Lord [03068], and their righteousness [06666] is of me, saith [05002] the Lord [03068].
Behold, thou shalt call [07121] a nation [01471] that thou knowest [03045] not, and nations [01471] that knew [03045] not thee shall run [07323] unto thee because of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], and for the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; for he hath glorified [06286] thee.
Seek [01875] ye the Lord [03068] while he may be found [04672], call [07121] ye upon him while he is near [07138]:
Let the wicked [07563] forsake [05800] his way [01870], and the unrighteous [0205] man [0376] his thoughts [04284]: and let him return [07725] unto the Lord [03068], and he will have mercy [07355] upon him; and to our God [0430], for he will abundantly [07235] pardon [05545].the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquityabundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon
For my thoughts [04284] are not your thoughts [04284], neither are your ways [01870] my ways [01870], saith [05002] the Lord [03068].
Instead of the thorn [05285] shall come up [05927] the fir tree [01265], and instead of the brier [05636] shall come up [05927] the myrtle tree [01918]: and it shall be to the Lord [03068] for a name [08034], for an everlasting [05769] sign [0226] that shall not be cut off [03772].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Keep [08104] ye judgment [04941], and do [06213] justice [06666]: for my salvation [03444] is near [07138] to come [0935], and my righteousness [06666] to be revealed [01540].judgment: or, equity
Neither let the son [01121] of the stranger [05236], that hath joined [03867] himself to the Lord [03068], speak [0559], saying [0559], The Lord [03068] hath utterly [0914] separated [0914] me from his people [05971]: neither let the eunuch [05631] say [0559], Behold, I am a dry [03002] tree [06086].
For thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] unto the eunuchs [05631] that keep [08104] my sabbaths [07676], and choose [0977] the things that please [02654] me, and take hold [02388] of my covenant [01285];
Also the sons [01121] of the stranger [05236], that join [03867] themselves to the Lord [03068], to serve [08334] him, and to love [0157] the name [08034] of the Lord [03068], to be his servants [05650], every one that keepeth [08104] the sabbath [07676] from polluting [02490] it, and taketh hold [02388] of my covenant [01285];
I create [01254] the fruit [05108] of the lips [08193]; Peace [07965], peace [07965] to him that is far off [07350], and to him that is near [07138], saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; and I will heal [07495] him.

Then shall thy light [0216] break forth [01234] as the morning [07837], and thine health [0724] shall spring forth [06779] speedily [04120]: and thy righteousness [06664] shall go [01980] before [06440] thee; the glory [03519] of the Lord [03068] shall be thy rereward [0622].be…: Heb. gather thee up
Then shalt thou call [07121], and the Lord [03068] shall answer [06030]; thou shalt cry [07768], and he shall say [0559], Here I am. If thou take away [05493] from the midst [08432] of thee the yoke [04133], the putting forth [07971] of the finger [0676], and speaking [01696] vanity [0205];
And the Lord [03068] shall guide [05148] thee continually [08548], and satisfy [07646] thy soul [05315] in drought [06710], and make fat [02502] thy bones [06106]: and thou shalt be like a watered [07302] garden [01588], and like a spring [04161] of water [04325], whose waters [04325] fail [03576] not.drought: Heb. droughtsfail: Heb. lie, or, deceive
If thou turn away [07725] thy foot [07272] from the sabbath [07676], from doing [06213] thy pleasure [02656] on my holy [06944] day [03117]; and call [07121] the sabbath [07676] a delight [06027], the holy [06918] of the Lord [03068], honourable [03513]; and shalt honour [03513] him, not doing [06213] thine own ways [01870], nor finding [04672] thine own pleasure [02656], nor speaking [01696] thine own words [01697]:
Then shalt thou delight [06026] thyself in the Lord [03068]; and I will cause thee to ride [07392] upon the high places [01116] of the earth [0776], and feed [0398] thee with the heritage [05159] of Jacob [03290] thy father [01]: for the mouth [06310] of the Lord [03068] hath spoken [01696] it.
Behold [02005], the Lord's [03068] hand [03027] is not shortened [07114], that it cannot save [03467]; neither his ear [0241] heavy [03513], that it cannot hear [08085]:

Yea, truth [0571] faileth [05737]; and he that departeth [05493] from evil [07451] maketh himself a prey [07997]: and the Lord [03068] saw [07200] it, and it displeased [05869] [03415] him that there was no judgment [04941].maketh…: or, is accounted madit displeased…: Heb. it was evil in his eyes
So shall they fear [03372] the name [08034] of the Lord [03068] from the west [04628], and his glory [03519] from the rising [04217] of the sun [08121]. When the enemy [06862] shall come in [0935] like a flood [05104], the Spirit [07307] of the Lord [03068] shall lift up a standard [05127] against him.lift…: or, put him to flight

As for me, this is my covenant [01285] with them, saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; My spirit [07307] that is upon thee, and my words [01697] which I have put [07760] in thy mouth [06310], shall not depart [04185] out of thy mouth [06310], nor out of the mouth [06310] of thy seed [02233], nor out of the mouth [06310] of thy seed's [02233] seed [02233], saith [0559] the Lord [03068], from henceforth and for [05704] ever [05769].
Arise [06965], shine [0215]; for thy light [0216] is come [0935], and the glory [03519] of the Lord [03068] is risen [02224] upon thee.shine…: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh

The multitude [08229] of camels [01581] shall cover [03680] thee, the dromedaries [01070] of Midian [04080] and Ephah [05891]; all they from Sheba [07614] shall come [0935]: they shall bring [05375] gold [02091] and incense [03828]; and they shall shew forth [01319] the praises [08416] of the Lord [03068].
Surely the isles [0339] shall wait [06960] for me, and the ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659] first [07223], to bring [0935] thy sons [01121] from far [07350], their silver [03701] and their gold [02091] with them, unto the name [08034] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], and to the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], because he hath glorified [06286] thee.
The sons [01121] also of them that afflicted [06031] thee shall come [01980] bending [07817] unto thee; and all they that despised [05006] thee shall bow themselves down [07812] at the soles [03709] of thy feet [07272]; and they shall call [07121] thee, The city [05892] of the Lord [03068], The Zion [06726] of the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478].
Thou shalt also suck [03243] the milk [02461] of the Gentiles [01471], and shalt suck [03243] the breast [07699] of kings [04428]: and thou shalt know [03045] that I the Lord [03068] am thy Saviour [03467] and thy Redeemer [01350], the mighty One [046] of Jacob [03290].
The sun [08121] shall be no more thy light [0216] by day [03119]; neither for brightness [05051] shall the moon [03394] give light [0216] unto thee: but the Lord [03068] shall be unto thee an everlasting [05769] light [0215], and thy God [0430] thy glory [08597].
Thy sun [08121] shall no more go down [0935]; neither shall thy moon [03391] withdraw [0622] itself: for the Lord [03068] shall be thine everlasting [05769] light [0216], and the days [03117] of thy mourning [060] shall be ended [07999].
A little one [06996] shall become a thousand [0505], and a small one [06810] a strong [06099] nation [01471]: I the Lord [03068] will hasten [02363] it in his time [06256].
The Spirit [07307] of the Lord [0136] God [03069] is upon me; because the Lord [03068] hath anointed [04886] me to preach good tidings [01319] unto the meek [06035]; he hath sent [07971] me to bind up [02280] the brokenhearted [03820] [07665], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] to the captives [07617], and the opening of the prison [06495] to them that are bound [0631];
To proclaim [07121] the acceptable [07522] year [08141] of the Lord [03068], and the day [03117] of vengeance [05359] of our God [0430]; to comfort [05162] all that mourn [057];
To appoint [07760] unto them that mourn [057] in Zion [06726], to give [05414] unto them beauty [06287] for ashes [0665], the oil [08081] of joy [08342] for mourning [060], the garment [04594] of praise [08416] for the spirit [07307] of heaviness [03544]; that they might be called [07121] trees [0352] of righteousness [06664], the planting [04302] of the Lord [03068], that he might be glorified [06286].
But ye shall be named [07121] the Priests [03548] of the Lord [03068]: men shall call [0559] you the Ministers [08334] of our God [0430]: ye shall eat [0398] the riches [02428] of the Gentiles [01471], and in their glory [03519] shall ye boast [03235] yourselves.
For I the Lord [03068] love [0157] judgment [04941], I hate [08130] robbery [01498] for burnt offering [05930]; and I will direct [05414] their work [06468] in truth [0571], and I will make [03772] an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] with them.
And their seed [02233] shall be known [03045] among the Gentiles [01471], and their offspring [06631] among [08432] the people [05971]: all that see [07200] them shall acknowledge [05234] them, that they are the seed [02233] which the Lord [03068] hath blessed [01288].
I will greatly [07797] rejoice [07797] in the Lord [03068], my soul [05315] shall be joyful [01523] in my God [0430]; for he hath clothed [03847] me with the garments [0899] of salvation [03468], he hath covered [03271] me with the robe [04598] of righteousness [06666], as a bridegroom [02860] decketh [03547] himself with ornaments [06287], and as a bride [03618] adorneth [05710] herself with her jewels [03627].decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest
And the Gentiles [01471] shall see [07200] thy righteousness [06664], and all kings [04428] thy glory [03519]: and thou shalt be called [07121] by a new [02319] name [05344], which the mouth [06310] of the Lord [03068] shall name [08034].
Thou shalt also be a crown [05850] of glory [08597] in the hand [03027] of the Lord [03068], and a royal [04410] diadem [06797] [06797] in the hand [03709] of thy God [0430].
Thou shalt no more be termed [0559] Forsaken [05800]; neither shall thy land [0776] any more be termed [0559] Desolate [08077]: but thou shalt be called [07121] Hephzi–bah [02657], and thy land [0776] Beulah [01166]: for the Lord [03068] delighteth [02654] in thee, and thy land [0776] shall be married [01166].Hephzi–bah: that is, My delight is in herBeulah: that is, Married
I have set [06485] watchmen [08104] upon thy walls [02346], O Jerusalem [03389], which shall never [08548] hold their peace [02814] day [03117] nor night [03915]: ye that make mention [02142] of the Lord [03068], keep not silence [01824],make…: or, are the Lord's remembrancers
The Lord [03068] hath sworn [07650] by his right hand [03225], and by the arm [02220] of his strength [05797], Surely I will [0518] no more give [05414] thy corn [01715] to be meat [03978] for thine enemies [0341]; and the sons [01121] of the stranger [05236] shall not drink [08354] thy wine [08492], for the which thou hast laboured [03021]:Surely…: Heb. If I give, etc
But they that have gathered [0622] it shall eat [0398] it, and praise [01984] the Lord [03068]; and they that have brought it together [06908] shall drink [08354] it in the courts [02691] of my holiness [06944].
Behold, the Lord [03068] hath proclaimed [08085] unto the end [07097] of the world [0776], Say [0559] ye to the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726], Behold, thy salvation [03468] cometh [0935]; behold, his reward [07939] is with him, and his work [06468] before [06440] him.work: or, recompence
And they shall call [07121] them, The holy [06944] people [05971], The redeemed [01350] of the Lord [03068]: and thou shalt be called [07121], Sought out [01875], A city [05892] not forsaken [05800].
I will mention [02142] the lovingkindnesses [02617] of the Lord [03068], and the praises [08416] of the Lord [03068], according to all that the Lord [03068] hath bestowed [01580] on us, and the great [07227] goodness [02898] toward the house [01004] of Israel [03478], which he hath bestowed [01580] on them according to his mercies [07356], and according to the multitude [07230] of his lovingkindnesses [02617].
As a beast [0929] goeth down [03381] into the valley [01237], the Spirit [07307] of the Lord [03068] caused him to rest [05117]: so didst thou lead [05090] thy people [05971], to make [06213] thyself a glorious [08597] name [08034].
Doubtless [03588] thou art our father [01], though Abraham [085] be ignorant [03045] [03808] of us, and Israel [03478] acknowledge [05234] us not: thou, O Lord [03068], art our father [01], our redeemer [01350]; thy name [08034] is from everlasting [05769].our redeemer…: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name
O Lord [03068], why hast thou made us to err [08582] from thy ways [01870], and hardened [07188] our heart [03820] from thy fear [03374]? Return [07725] for thy servants' [05650] sake, the tribes [07626] of thine inheritance [05159].
But now, O Lord [03068], thou art our father [01]; we are the clay [02563], and thou our potter [03335]; and we all are the work [04639] of thy hand [03027].
Be not wroth [07107] very sore [03966], O Lord [03068], neither remember [02142] iniquity [05771] for ever [05703]: behold, see [05027], we beseech thee, we are all thy people [05971].
Wilt thou refrain [0662] thyself for these things, O Lord [03068]? wilt thou hold thy peace [02814], and afflict [06031] us very sore [03966]?
Your iniquities [05771], and the iniquities [05771] of your fathers [01] together [03162], saith [0559] the Lord [03068], which have burned incense [06999] upon the mountains [02022], and blasphemed [02778] me upon the hills [01389]: therefore will I measure [04058] their former [07223] work [06468] into their bosom [02436].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], As the new wine [08492] is found [04672] in the cluster [0811], and one saith [0559], Destroy [07843] it not; for a blessing [01293] is in it: so will I do [06213] for my servants' [05650] sakes, that I may not destroy [07843] them all.
But ye are they that forsake [05800] the Lord [03068], that forget [07913] my holy [06944] mountain [02022], that prepare [06186] a table [07979] for that troop [01408] [01409], and that furnish [04390] the drink offering [04469] unto that number [04507].troop: or, Gadnumber: or, Meni, a pagan god
They shall not labour [03021] in vain [07385], nor bring forth [03205] for trouble [0928]; for they are the seed [02233] of the blessed [01288] of the Lord [03068], and their offspring [06631] with them.
The wolf [02061] and the lamb [02924] shall feed [07462] together [0259], and the lion [0738] shall eat [0398] straw [08401] like the bullock [01241]: and dust [06083] shall be the serpent's [05175] meat [03899]. They shall not hurt [07489] nor destroy [07843] in all my holy [06944] mountain [02022], saith [0559] the Lord [03068].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], The heaven [08064] is my throne [03678], and the earth [0776] is my footstool [01916] [07272]: where is the house [01004] that ye build [01129] unto me? and where is the place [04725] of my rest [04496]?
For all those things hath mine hand [03027] made [06213], and all those things have been, saith [05002] the Lord [03068]: but to this man will I look [05027], even to him that is poor [06041] and of a contrite [05223] spirit [07307], and trembleth [02730] at my word [01697].
Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the Lord [03068], ye that tremble [02730] at his word [01697]; Your brethren [0251] that hated [08130] you, that cast you out [05077] for my name's [08034] sake, said [0559], Let the Lord [03068] be glorified [03513]: but he shall appear [07200] to your joy [08057], and they shall be ashamed [0954].
A voice [06963] of noise [07588] from the city [05892], a voice [06963] from the temple [01964], a voice [06963] of the Lord [03068] that rendereth [07999] recompence [01576] to his enemies [0341].
Shall I bring to the birth [07665], and not cause to bring forth [03205]? saith [0559] the Lord [03068]: shall I [0589] cause to bring forth [03205], and shut [06113] the womb? saith [0559] thy God [0430].not…: or, not beget?
For thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Behold, I will extend [05186] peace [07965] to her like a river [05104], and the glory [03519] of the Gentiles [01471] like a flowing [07857] stream [05158]: then shall ye suck [03243], ye shall be borne [05375] upon her sides [06654], and be dandled [08173] upon her knees [01290].
And when ye see [07200] this, your heart [03820] shall rejoice [07797], and your bones [06106] shall flourish [06524] like an herb [01877]: and the hand [03027] of the Lord [03068] shall be known [03045] toward his servants [05650], and his indignation [02194] toward his enemies [0341].
For, behold, the Lord [03068] will come [0935] with fire [0784], and with his chariots [04818] like a whirlwind [05492], to render [07725] his anger [0639] with fury [02534], and his rebuke [01606] with flames [03851] of fire [0784].
For by fire [0784] and by his sword [02719] will the Lord [03068] plead [08199] with all flesh [01320]: and the slain [02491] of the Lord [03068] shall be many [07231].
They that sanctify [06942] themselves, and purify [02891] themselves in the gardens [01593] behind [0310] one [0259] tree in the midst [08432], eating [0398] swine's [02386] flesh [01320], and the abomination [08263], and the mouse [05909], shall be consumed [05486] together [03162], saith [05002] the Lord [03068].behind…: or, one after another
And they shall bring [0935] all your brethren [0251] for an offering [04503] unto the Lord [03068] out of all nations [01471] upon horses [05483], and in chariots [07393], and in litters [06632], and upon mules [06505], and upon swift beasts [03753], to my holy [06944] mountain [02022] Jerusalem [03389], saith [0559] the Lord [03068], as the children [01121] of Israel [03478] bring [0935] an offering [04503] in a clean [02889] vessel [03627] into the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].litters: or, coaches
And I will also take [03947] of them for priests [03548] and for Levites [03881], saith [0559] the Lord [03068].
For as the new [02319] heavens [08064] and the new [02319] earth [0776], which I will make [06213], shall remain [05975] before [06440] me, saith [05002] the Lord [03068], so shall your seed [02233] and your name [08034] remain [05975].
And it shall come to pass, that from [01767] one new moon [02320] to another [02320], and from [01767] one sabbath [07676] to another [07676], shall all flesh [01320] come [0935] to worship [07812] before [06440] me, saith [0559] the Lord [03068].from one new…: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath
