None calleth [07121] for justice [06664], nor any pleadeth [08199] for truth [0530]: they trust [0982] in vanity [08414], and speak [01696] lies [07723]; they conceive [02029] mischief [05999], and bring forth [03205] iniquity [0205].
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].
For Zion's [06726] sake will I not hold my peace [02814], and for Jerusalem's [03389] sake I will not rest [08252], until the righteousness [06664] thereof go forth [03318] as brightness [05051], and the salvation [03444] thereof as a lamp [03940] that burneth [01197].
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 meetest [06293] him that rejoiceth [07797] and worketh [06213] righteousness [06664], those that remember [02142] thee in thy ways [01870]: behold, thou art wroth [07107]; for we have sinned [02398]: in those is continuance [05769], and we shall be saved [03467].
But, O Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], that judgest [08199] righteously [06664], that triest [0974] the reins [03629] and the heart [03820], let me see [07200] thy vengeance [05360] on them: for unto thee have I revealed [01540] my cause [07379].
Woe [01945] unto him that buildeth [01129] his house [01004] by [03808] unrighteousness [06664], and his chambers [05944] by wrong [04941]; that useth his neighbour's [07453] service [05647] without wages [02600], and giveth [05414] him not for his work [06467];
Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; As yet they shall use [0559] this speech [01697] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063] and in the cities [05892] thereof, when I shall bring again [07725] their captivity [07622]; The Lord [03068] bless [01288] thee, O habitation [05116] of justice [06664], and mountain [02022] of holiness [06944].
All that found [04672] them have devoured [0398] them: and their adversaries [06862] said [0559], We offend [0816] not, because they have sinned [02398] against the Lord [03068], the habitation [05116] of justice [06664], even the Lord [03068], the hope [04723] of their fathers [01].
Again [07725], When a righteous [06662] man doth turn [07725] from his righteousness [06664], and commit [06213] iniquity [05766], and I lay [05414] a stumblingblock [04383] before [06440] him, he shall die [04191]: because thou hast not given him warning [02094], he shall die [04191] in his sin [02403], and his righteousness [06666] which he hath done [06213] shall not be remembered [02142]; but his blood [01818] will I require [01245] at thine hand [03027].righteousness which: Heb. righteousnesses
Ye shall have just [06664] balances [03976], and a just [06664] ephah [0374], and a just [06664] bath [01324].
Seventy [07657] weeks [07620] are determined [02852] upon thy people [05971] and upon thy holy [06944] city [05892], to finish [03607] the transgression [06588], and to make an end [02856] [08552] of sins [02403], and to make reconciliation [03722] for iniquity [05771], and to bring in [0935] everlasting [05769] righteousness [06664], and to seal up [02856] the vision [02377] and prophecy [05030], and to anoint [04886] the most [06944] Holy [06944].finish: or, restrainmake an…: or, seal upprophecy: Heb. prophet
And I will betroth [0781] thee unto me for ever [05769]; yea, I will betroth [0781] thee unto me in righteousness [06664], and in judgment [04941], and in lovingkindness [02617], and in mercies [07356].
Sow [02232] to yourselves in righteousness [06666], reap [07114] in [06310] mercy [02617]; break up [05214] your fallow ground [05215]: for it is time [06256] to seek [01875] the Lord [03068], till he come [0935] and rain [03384] righteousness [06664] upon you.
Seek [01245] ye the Lord [03068], all ye meek [06035] of the earth [0776], which have wrought [06466] his judgment [04941]; seek [01245] righteousness [06664], seek [01245] meekness [06038]: it may be [0194] ye shall be hid [05641] in the day [03117] of the Lord's [03068] anger [0639].
