Wherefore thus saith [0559] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], Because ye despise [03988] this word [01697], and trust [0982] in oppression [06233] and perverseness [03868], and stay [08172] thereon:oppression: or, fraud
For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] God [03069], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; In returning [07729] and rest [05183] shall ye be saved [03467]; in quietness [08252] and in confidence [0985] shall be your strength [01369]: and ye would [014] not.
But ye said [0559], No; for we will flee [05127] upon horses [05483]; therefore shall ye flee [05127]: and, We will ride [07392] upon the swift [07031]; therefore shall they that pursue [07291] you be swift [07043].
And thine ears [0241] shall hear [08085] a word [01697] behind [0310] thee, saying [0559], This is the way [01870], walk ye in it [03212], when ye turn to the right hand [0541], and when ye turn to the left [08041].
Ye shall defile [02930] also the covering [06826] of thy graven images [06456] of silver [03701], and the ornament [0642] of thy molten images [04541] of gold [02091]: thou shalt cast them away [02219] as a menstruous cloth [01739]; thou shalt say [0559] unto it, Get thee hence [03318].thy graven…: Heb. the graven images of thy silvercast: Heb. scatter
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
The vile person [05036] shall be no more called [07121] liberal [05081], nor the churl [03596] said [0559] to be bountiful [07771].
Now will I rise [06965], saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; now will I be exalted [07426]; now will I lift up [05375] myself.
And the inhabitant [07934] shall not say [0559], I am sick [02470]: the people [05971] that dwell [03427] therein shall be forgiven [05375] their iniquity [05771].
Say [0559] to them that are of a fearful [04116] heart [03820], Be strong [02388], fear [03372] not: behold, your God [0430] will come [0935] with vengeance [05359], even God [0430] with a recompence [01576]; he will come [0935] and save [03467] you.fearful: Heb. hasty
And Rabshakeh [07262] said [0559] unto them, Say [0559] ye now to Hezekiah [02396], Thus saith [0559] the great [01419] king [04428], the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], What confidence [0986] is this wherein thou trustest [0982]?
I say [0559], sayest thou, (but they are but vain [08193] words [01697]) I have counsel [06098] and strength [01369] for war [04421]: now on whom dost thou trust [0982], that thou rebellest [04775] against me?vain…: Heb. a word of lipsI have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war
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.
Then said [0559] Eliakim [0471] and Shebna [07644] and Joah [03098] unto Rabshakeh [07262], Speak [01696], I pray thee, unto thy servants [05650] in the Syrian language [0762]; for we understand [08085] it: and speak [01696] not to us in the Jews' language [03066], in the ears [0241] of the people [05971] that are on the wall [02346].
But Rabshakeh [07262] said [0559], Hath my master [0113] sent [07971] me to thy master [0113] and to thee to speak [01696] these words [01697]? hath he not sent me to the men [0582] that sit [03427] upon the wall [02346], that they may eat [0398] their own dung [06675] [02716], and drink [08354] their own piss [07890] [07272] [04325] with you?
Then Rabshakeh [07262] stood [05975], and cried [07121] with a loud [01419] voice [06963] in the Jews' language [03066], and said [0559], Hear [08085] ye the words [01697] of the great [01419] king [04428], the king [04428] of Assyria [0804].
Thus saith [0559] the king [04428], Let not Hezekiah [02396] deceive [05377] you: for he shall not be able [03201] to deliver [05337] you.
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].
Hearken [08085] not to Hezekiah [02396]: for thus saith [0559] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], Make [06213] an agreement with me by a present [01293], and come out [03318] to me: and eat [0398] ye every one [0376] of his vine [01612], and every one [0376] of his fig tree [08384], and drink [08354] ye every one [0376] the waters [04325] of his own cistern [0953];Make…: or, Seek my favour by a present: Heb. Make with me a blessing
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]?
But they held their peace [02790], and answered [06030] him not a word [01697]: for the king's [04428] commandment [04687] was, saying [0559], Answer [06030] him not.
And they said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] Hezekiah [02396], This day [03117] is a day [03117] of trouble [06869], and of rebuke [08433], and of blasphemy [05007]: for the children [01121] are come [0935] to the birth [04866], and there is not strength [03581] to bring forth [03205].blasphemy: or, provocation
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 he heard [08085] say [0559] concerning Tirhakah [08640] king [04428] of Ethiopia [03568], He is come forth [03318] to make war [03898] with thee. And when he heard [08085] it, he sent [07971] messengers [04397] to Hezekiah [02396], saying [0559],
Thus shall ye speak [0559] to Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], Let not thy God [0430], in whom thou trustest [0982], deceive [05377] thee, saying [0559], Jerusalem [03389] shall not be given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804].
And Hezekiah [02396] prayed [06419] unto the Lord [03068], saying [0559],
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]:
By [03027] thy servants [05650] hast thou reproached [02778] the Lord [0136], and hast said [0559], By the multitude [07230] of my chariots [07393] am I come up [05927] to the height [04791] of the mountains [02022], to the sides [03411] of Lebanon [03844]; and I will cut down [03772] the tall [06967] cedars [0730] thereof, and the choice [04005] fir trees [01265] thereof: and I will enter [0935] into the height [04791] of his border [07093], and the forest [03293] of his Carmel [03760].By thy…: Heb. By the hand of thy servantsthe tall…: Heb. the tallness of the cedars thereof and the choice of the fir trees thereofthe forest…: or, the forest and his fruitful field
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.
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
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].
I said [0559] in the cutting off [01824] of my days [03117], I shall go [03212] to the gates [08179] of the grave [07585]: I am deprived [06485] of the residue [03499] of my years [08141].
I said [0559], I shall not see [07200] the Lord [03050], even the Lord [03050], in the land [0776] of the living [02416]: I shall behold [05027] man [0120] no more with the inhabitants [03427] of the world [02309].
What shall I say [01696]? he hath both spoken [0559] unto me, and himself hath done [06213] it: I shall go softly [01718] all my years [08141] in the bitterness [04751] of my soul [05315].
For Isaiah [03470] had said [0559], Let them take [05375] a lump [01690] of figs [08384], and lay it for a plaister [04799] upon the boil [07822], and he shall recover [02421].
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 came [0935] Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030] unto king [04428] Hezekiah [02396], and said [0559] unto him, What said [0559] these men [0582]? and from whence [0370] came [0935] they unto thee? And Hezekiah [02396] said [0559], They are come [0935] from a far [07350] country [0776] unto me, even from Babylon [0894].
Then said [0559] he, What have they seen [07200] in thine house [01004]? And Hezekiah [02396] answered [0559], All that is in mine house [01004] have they seen [07200]: there is nothing [01697] among my treasures [0214] that I have not shewed [07200] them.
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].
Comfort [05162] ye, comfort [05162] ye my people [05971], saith [0559] your God [0430].
The voice [06963] said [0559], Cry [07121]. And he said [0559], What shall I cry [07121]? All flesh [01320] is grass [02682], and all the goodliness [02617] thereof is as the flower [06731] of the field [07704]:
O Zion [06726], that bringest good tidings [01319], get thee up [05927] into the high [01364] mountain [02022]; O Jerusalem [03389], that bringest good tidings [01319], lift up [07311] thy voice [06963] with strength [03581]; lift it up [07311], be not afraid [03372]; say [0559] unto the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], Behold your God [0430]!O Zion…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to ZionO Jerusalem…: or, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem
To whom then will ye liken [01819] me, or shall I be equal [07737]? saith [0559] the Holy One [06918].
Why sayest [0559] thou, O Jacob [03290], and speakest [01696], O Israel [03478], My way [01870] is hid [05641] from the Lord [03068], and my judgment [04941] is passed over [05674] from my God [0430]?
They helped [05826] every one [0376] his neighbour [07453]; and every one said [0559] to his brother [0251], Be of good courage [02388].Be…: Heb. Be strong
So the carpenter [02796] encouraged [02388] the goldsmith [06884], and he that smootheth [02505] with the hammer [06360] him that smote [01986] the anvil [06471], saying [0559], It is ready [02896] for the sodering [01694]: and he fastened [02388] it with nails [04548], that it should not be moved [04131].goldsmith: or, founderhim…: or, the smitingsaying…: or, saying of the soder, It is good
Thou whom I have taken [02388] from the ends [07098] of the earth [0776], and called [07121] thee from the chief men [0678] thereof, and said [0559] unto thee, Thou art my servant [05650]; I have chosen [0977] thee, and not cast thee away [03988].
For I the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] will hold [02388] thy right hand [03225], saying [0559] unto thee, Fear [03372] not; I will help [05826] thee.
Produce [07126] your cause [07379], saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; bring forth [05066] your strong [06110] reasons, saith [0559] the King [04428] of Jacob [03290].Produce: Heb. Cause to come near
Who hath declared [05046] from the beginning [07218], that we may know [03045]? and beforetime [06440], that we may say [0559], He is righteous [06662]? yea, there is none that sheweth [05046], yea, there is none that declareth [08085], yea, there is none that heareth [08085] your words [0561].
Thus saith [0559] God [0410] the Lord [03068], he that created [01254] the heavens [08064], and stretched them out [05186]; he that spread forth [07554] the earth [0776], and that which cometh out [06631] of it; he that giveth [05414] breath [05397] unto the people [05971] upon it, and spirit [07307] to them that walk [01980] therein:
They shall be turned [05472] back [0268], they shall be greatly [01322] ashamed [0954], that trust [0982] in graven images [06459], that say [0559] to the molten images [04541], Ye are our gods [0430].
But this is a people [05971] robbed [0962] and spoiled [08154]; they are all of them snared [06351] in holes [0970] [02352], and they are hid [02244] in prison [03608] houses [01004]: they are for a prey [0957], and none delivereth [05337]; for a spoil [04933], and none saith [0559], Restore [07725].they are all…: or, in snaring all the young men of themfor a spoil: Heb. a treading
But now thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] that created [01254] thee, O Jacob [03290], and he that formed [03335] thee, O Israel [03478], Fear [03372] not: for I have redeemed [01350] thee, I have called [07121] thee by thy name [08034]; thou art mine.
I will say [0559] to the north [06828], Give up [05414]; and to the south [08486], Keep not back [03607]: bring [0935] my sons [01121] from far [07350], and my daughters [01323] from the ends [07097] of the earth [0776];
Let all the nations [01471] be gathered [06908] together [03162], and let the people [03816] be assembled [0622]: who among them can declare [05046] this, and shew [08085] us former things [07223]? let them bring forth [05414] their witnesses [05707], that they may be justified [06663]: or let them hear [08085], and say [0559], It is truth [0571].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], your redeemer [01350], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; For your sake I have sent [07971] to Babylon [0894], and have brought down [03381] all their nobles [01281], and the Chaldeans [03778], whose cry [07440] is in the ships [0591].nobles: Heb. bars
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], which maketh [05414] a way [01870] in the sea [03220], and a path [05410] in the mighty [05794] waters [04325];
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] that made [06213] thee, and formed [03335] thee from the womb [0990], which will help [05826] thee; Fear [03372] not, O Jacob [03290], my servant [05650]; and thou, Jesurun [03484], whom I have chosen [0977].
One shall say [0559], I am the Lord's [03068]; and another shall call [07121] himself by the name [08034] of Jacob [03290]; and another shall subscribe [03789] with his hand [03027] unto the Lord [03068], and surname [03655] himself by the name [08034] of Israel [03478].
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] the King [04428] of Israel [03478], and his redeemer [01350] the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635]; I am the first [07223], and I am the last [0314]; and beside [01107] me there is no God [0430].
He burneth [08313] part [02677] thereof in [01119] the fire [0784]; with part [02677] thereof he eateth [0398] flesh [01320]; he roasteth [06740] roast [06748], and is satisfied [07646]: yea, he warmeth [02552] himself, and saith [0559], Aha [01889], I am warm [02552], I have seen [07200] the fire [0217]:

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].

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

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.
Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] God [03069], Behold, my servants [05650] shall eat [0398], but ye shall be hungry [07456]: behold, my servants [05650] shall drink [08354], but ye shall be thirsty [06770]: behold, my servants [05650] shall rejoice [08055], but ye shall be ashamed [0954]:
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]?
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].
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 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].
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
