:1. Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourteenth year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, [that] Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > came <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the defenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and took <8610 taphas > them.

:2 And the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > sent <7971 shalach > Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > from Lachish <3923 Lachiysh > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > unto king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > with a great <3515 kabed > army <2426 cheyl >. And he stood <5975 <amad > by the conduit <8585 t@<alah > of the upper <5945 >elyown > pool <1295 b@rekah > in the highway <4546 m@cillah > of the fuller's <3526 kabac > field <7704 sadeh >.

:4 And Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar > unto them, Say <0559 >amar > ye now <4994 na> > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the great <1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek >, the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, What confidence <0986 bittachown > [is] this <2088 zeh > wherein <0834 >aher > thou trustest <0982 batach >?

:5 I say <0559 >amar >, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain <8193 saphah > words <1697 dabar >) [I have] counsel <6098 <etsah > and strength <1369 g@buwrah > for war <4421 milchamah >:now <6258 <attah > on <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > dost thou trust <0982 batach >, that thou rebellest <4775 marad > against me?

:6 Lo <2009 hinneh >, thou trustest <0982 batach > in the staff <4938 mish<enah > of this <2088 zeh > broken <7533 ratsats > reed <7070 qaneh >, on <5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >; whereon if a man <0376 >iysh > lean <5564 camak >, it will go <0935 bow> > into his hand <3709 kaph >, and pierce <5344 naqab > it:so <3651 ken > [is] Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to all <3605 kol > that trust <0982 batach > in him.

:7 But if thou say <0559 >amar > to me, We trust <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >:[is it] not he, whose high <1111 Balaq > places and whose altars <4196 mizbeach > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > hath taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr >, and said <0559 >amar > to Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, Ye shall worship <7812 shachah > before <6440 paniym > this <2088 zeh > altar <4196 mizbeach >?

:8 Now <6258 <attah > therefore give pledges <6148 <arab >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, to my master <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, and I will give <5414 nathan > thee two thousand <0505 >eleph > horses <5483 cuwc >, if <0518 >im > thou be able <3201 yakol > on thy part to set <5414 nathan > riders <7392 rakab > upon them.

:10 And am I now <6258 <attah > come <5927 <alah > up without <1107 bil<adey > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > to destroy <7843 shachath > it? the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, Go <5927 <alah > up against <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >, and destroy <7843 shachath > it.

:11. Then said <0559 >amar > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > unto Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh >, Speak <1696 dabar >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, unto thy servants <5650 <ebed > in the Syrian <0762 >Aramiyth > language; for we understand <8085 shama< > [it]:and speak <1696 dabar > not to us in the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy >' language, in the ears <0241 >ozen > of the people <5971 <am > that [are] on <5921 <al > the wall <2346 chowmah >.

:12 But Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > said <0559 >amar >, Hath my master <0113 >adown > sent <7971 shalach > me to thy master <0113 >adown > and to thee to speak <1696 dabar > these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men <0582 >enowsh > that sit <3427 yashab > upon the wall <2346 chowmah >, that they may eat <0398 >akal > their own dung, and drink <8354 shathah > their own piss <7890 shayin > with you?

:13 Then Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > stood <5975 <amad >, and cried <7121 qara> > with a loud <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl > in the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy >' language, and said <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > ye the words <1697 dabar > of the great <1419 gadowl > king <4428 melek >, the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.

:14 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek >, Let not Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > deceive <5377 nasha> > you:for he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to deliver <5337 natsal > you.

:15 Neither <0408 >al > let Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > make you trust <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will surely deliver <5337 natsal > us:this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > shall not be delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.

:18 [Beware] lest <6435 pen > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > persuade <5496 cuwth > you, saying <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will deliver <5337 natsal > us. Hath any <0376 >iysh > of the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy > delivered <5337 natsal > his land <0776 >erets > out of the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >?

:19 Where <0346 >ayeh > [are] the gods <0430 >elohiym > of Hamath <2574Chamath > and Arphad <0774 >Arpad >? where <0346 >ayeh > [are] the gods <0430 >elohiym > of Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim >? and have they delivered <5337 natsal > Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > out of my hand <3027 yad >?

:20 Who <4310 miy > [are they] among all <3605 kol > the gods <0430 >elohiym > of these <0428 >el-leh > lands <0776 >erets >, that have delivered <5337 natsal > their land <0776 >erets > out of my hand <3027 yad >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > should deliver <5337 natsal > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > out of my hand <3027 yad >?

:21 But they held <2790 charash > their peace <2790 charash >, and answered <6030 <anah > him not a word <1697 dabar >:for the king's <4428 melek > commandment <4687 mitsvah > was, saying <0559 >amar >, Answer <6030 <anah > him not.

:Isaiah 37

:1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > heard <8085 shama< > [it], that he rent <7167 qara< > his clothes <0899 beged >, and covered <3680 kacah > himself with sackcloth <8242 saq >, and went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:2 And he sent <7971 shalach > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym >, who <0834 >aher > [was] over <5921 <al > the household <1004 bayith >, and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe <5608 caphar >, and the elders <2205 zaqen > of the priests <3548 kohen > covered <3680 kacah > with sackcloth <8242 saq >, unto Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts >.

:5 So the servants <5650 <ebed > of king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > came <0935 bow> > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >.

:6 And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > said <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > unto your master <0113 >adown >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the words <1697 dabar > that thou hast heard <8085 shama< >, wherewith <0834 >aher > the servants <5288 na<ar > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have blasphemed <1442 gadaph > me.

:8. So Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > returned <7725 shuwb >, and found <4672 matsa> > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > warring <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > Libnah <3841 Libnah >:for he had heard <8085 shama< > that he was departed <5265 naca< > from Lachish <3923 Lachiysh >.

And when he heard <8085 shama< > [it], he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

:11 Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast heard <8085 shama< > what <0834 >aher > the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have done <6213 <asah > to all <3605 kol > lands <0776 >erets > by destroying <2763 charam > them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered <5337 natsal >?

:12 Have the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the nations <1471 gowy > delivered <5337 natsal > them which <0834 >aher > my fathers <1> have destroyed <7843 shachath >, [as] Gozan <1470 Gowzan >, and Haran <2771 Charan >, and Rezeph <7530 Retseph >, and the children <1121 ben > of Eden <5731 <Eden > which <0834 >aher > [were] in Telassar <8515 T@la>ssar >?

:14 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > received <3947 laqach > the letter <5612 cepher > from the hand <3027 yad > of the messengers <4397 mal>ak >, and read <7121 qara> > it:and Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > went <5927 <alah > up unto the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and spread <6566 paras > it before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

Then Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > sent <7971 shalach > unto Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, Whereas <0834 >aher > thou hast prayed <6419 palal > to me against <0413 >el > Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >:

:22 This <2088 zeh > [is] the word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > concerning <5921 <al > him; The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah >, the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, hath despised <0959 bazah > thee, [and] laughed <3932 la<ag > thee to scorn; the daughter <1323 bath > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > hath shaken <5128 nuwa< > her head <7218 ro>sh > at thee.

:23 Whom hast thou reproached <2778 charaph. > and blasphemed <1442 gadaph >? and against <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > hast thou exalted <7311 ruwm > [thy] voice <6963 qowl >, and lifted <5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > on high <4796 Marowth >? [even] against <0413 >el > the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

:24 By thy servants <5650 <ebed > hast thou reproached <2778 charaph. > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >, and hast said <0559 >amar >, By the multitude <7230 rob > of my chariots <7393 rekeb > am I come <5927 <alah > up to the height <4791 marowm > of the mountains <2022 har >, to the sides <3411 y@rekah > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >; and I will cut <3772 karath > down the tall <6967 qowmah > cedars <0730 >erez > thereof, [and] the choice <4005 mibchar > fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees thereof:and I will enter <0935 bow> > into the height <4791 marowm > of his border <7093 qets >, [and] the forest <3293 ya<ar > of his Carmel <3760 Karmel >.

:27 Therefore their inhabitants <3427 yashab > [were] of small <7116 qatser > power <3027 yad >, they were dismayed <2865 chathath > and confounded <0954 buwsh >:they were [as] the grass <6212 <eseb > of the field <7704 sadeh >, and [as] the green <3419 yaraq > herb <1877 deshe> >, [as] the grass <2682 chatsiyr > on the housetops <1406 gag >, and [as corn] blasted <7709 sh@demah > before <6440 paniym > it be grown <6965 quwm > up.

:28 But I know <3045 yada< > thy abode <3427 yashab >, and thy going <3318 yatsa> > out, and thy coming <0935 bow> > in, and thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413 >el > me.

:30 And this <2088 zeh > [shall be] a sign <0226 >owth > unto thee, Ye shall eat <0398 >akal > [this] year <8141 shaneh > such as groweth <5599 caphiyach > of itself; and the second <8145 sheniy > year <8141 shaneh > that which springeth <7823 shachiyc > of the same:and in the third <7992 sh@liyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > sow <2232 zara< > ye, and reap <7114 qatsar >, and plant <5193 nata< > vineyards <3754 kerem >, and eat <0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof.

:1. In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > was Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > sick <2470 chalah > unto death <4191 muwth >. And Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > the son <1121 ben > of Amoz <0531 >Amowts > came <0935 bow> > unto him, and said <0559 >amar > unto him, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Set thine house <1004 bayith > in order <6680 tsavah >:for thou shalt die <4191 muwth >, and not live <2421 chayah >.

:2 Then Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > turned <5437 cabab > his face <6440 paniym > toward <0413 >el > the wall <7023 qiyr >, and prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > wept <1058 bakah > sore <1419 gadowl >.

:4 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

:6 And I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > out of the hand <3709 kaph > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >:and I will defend <1598 ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >.

:7 And this <2088 zeh > [shall be] a sign <0226 >owth > unto thee from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > that he hath spoken <1696 dabar >;

Thy wisdom <2451 chokmah > and thy knowledge <1847 da<ath >, it hath perverted <7725 shuwb > thee; and thou hast said <0559 >amar > in thine heart <3820 leb >, I [am], and none <0657 >ephec > else <5750 <owd > beside <0657 >ephec > me.

:Isaiah 48

:1. Hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2063 zo>th >, O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, which are called <7121 qara> > by the name <8034 shem > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and are come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the waters <4325 mayim > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which swear <7650 shaba< > by the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and make mention <2142 zakar > of the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, [but] not in truth <0571 >emeth >, nor <3808 lo> > in righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >.

:2 For they call <7121 qara> > themselves of the holy <6944 qodesh > city <5892 <iyr >, and stay <5564 camak > themselves upon the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name <8034 shem >.

:3 I have declared <5046 nagad > the former <7223 ri>shown > things from the beginning <0227 >az >; and they went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of my mouth <6310 peh >, and I shewed <8085 shama< > them; I did <6213 <asah > [them] suddenly <6597 pith>owm >, and they came <0935 bow> > to pass.

:4 Because I knew <1847 da<ath > that thou [art] obstinate <7186 qasheh >, and thy neck <6203 <oreph > [is] an iron <1270 barzel > sinew <1517 giyd >, and thy brow <4696 metsach > brass <5154 n@chuwshah >;

:5 I have even from the beginning <0227 >az > declared <5046 nagad > [it] to thee; before <2962 terem > it came <0935 bow> > to pass I shewed <8085 shama< > [it] thee:lest <6435 pen > thou shouldest say <0559 >amar >, Mine idol <6090 <otseb > hath done <6213 <asah > them, and my graven <6459 pecel > image, and my molten <5262 necek > image, hath commanded <6680 tsavah > them.

:6 Thou hast heard <8085 shama< >, see <2372 chazah > all <3605 kol > this;and will not ye declare <5046 nagad > [it]? I have shewed <8085 shama< > thee new <2319 chadash > things from this time <6258 <attah >, even hidden <5341 natsar > things, and thou didst not know <3045 yada< > them.

:7 They are created <1254 bara> > now <6258 <attah >, and not from the beginning <0227 >az >; even before <6440 paniym > the day <3117 yowm > when thou heardest <8085 shama< > them not; lest <6435 pen > thou shouldest say <0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, I knew <3045 yada< > them.

:8 Yea <1571 gam >, thou heardest <8085 shama< > not; yea <1571 gam >, thou knewest <3045 yada< > not; yea <1571 gam >, from that time <0227 >az > [that] thine ear <0241 >ozen > was not opened <6605 pathach >:for I knew <3045 yada< > that thou wouldest deal very <0898 bagad > treacherously <0898 bagad >, and wast called <7121 qara> > a transgressor <6586 pasha< > from the womb <0990 beten >.

:9. For my name's <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > will I defer <0748 >arak > mine anger <0639 >aph >, and for my praise <8416 t@hillah > will I refrain <2413 chatam > for thee, that I cut <3772 karath > thee not off.

:10 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I have refined <6884 tsaraph > thee, but not with silver <3701 keceph >; I have chosen <0977 bachar > thee in the furnace <3564 kuwr > of affliction <6040 <oniy >.

:11 For mine own sake <4616 ma<an >, [even] for mine own sake <4616 ma<an >, will I do <6213 <asah > [it]:for how <0349 >eyk > should [my name] be polluted <2490 chalal >? and I will not give <5414 nathan > my glory <3519 kabowd > unto another <0312 >acher >.

:12 Hearken <8085 shama< > unto me, O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > and Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, my called <7121 qara> >; I [am] he; I [am] the first <7223 ri>shown >, I also <0637 >aph > [am] the last <0314 >acharown >.

:13 Mine hand <3027 yad > also <0637 >aph > hath laid the foundation <3245 yacad > of the earth <0776 >erets >, and my right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > hath spanned <2946 taphach > the heavens <8064 shamayim >:[when] I call <7121 qara> > unto them, they stand <5975 <amad > up together <3162 yachad >.

:14 All <3605 kol > ye, assemble <6908 qabats > yourselves, and hear <8085 shama< >; which <4310 miy > among them hath declared <5046 nagad > these <0428 >el-leh > [things]? The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath loved <0157 >ahab > him:he will do <6213 <asah > his pleasure <2656 chephets > on Babylon <0894 Babel >, and his arm <2220 z@rowa< > [shall be on] the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >.

:15 I, [even] I, have spoken <1696 dabar >; yea <0637 >aph >, I have called <7121 qara> > him:I have brought <0935 bow> > him, and he shall make his way <1870 derek > prosperous <6743 tsalach >.

:17 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thy Redeemer <1350 ga>al >, the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > which teacheth <3925 lamad > thee to profit <3276 ya<al >, which leadeth <1869 darak > thee by the way <1870 derek > [that] thou shouldest go <3212 yalak >.

:18 O that thou hadst hearkened <7181 qashab > to my commandments <4687 mitsvah >! then had thy peace <7965 shalowm > been <1961 hayah > as a river <5104 nahar >, and thy righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > as the waves <1530 gal > of the sea <3220 yam >:

:19 Thy seed <2233 zera< > also had been <1961 hayah > as the sand <2344 chowl >, and the offspring <6631 tse>etsa> > of thy bowels <4578 me<ah > like the gravel <4579 me<ah > thereof; his name <8034 shem > should not have been cut <3772 karath > off nor <3808 lo> > destroyed <8045 shamad > from before <6440 paniym > me.

:20 Go <3318 yatsa> > ye forth <3318 yatsa> > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, flee <1272 barach > ye from the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, with a voice <6963 qowl > of singing <7440 rinnah > declare <5046 nagad > ye, tell <8085 shama< > this <2063 zo>th >, utter <3318 yatsa> > it [even] to the end <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets >; say <0559 >amar > ye, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath redeemed <1350 ga>al > his servant <5650 <ebed > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >.

:2 And he hath made <7760 suwm > my mouth <6310 peh > like a sharp <2299 chad > sword <2719 chereb >; in the shadow <6738 tsel > of his hand <3027 yad > hath he hid <2244> me, and made <7760 suwm > me a polished <1305 barar > shaft <2671 chets >; in his quiver <0827 >ashpah > hath he hid <5641 cathar > me;

The righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > perisheth <6>, and no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > layeth <7760 suwm > [it] to heart <3820 leb >:and merciful <2617 checed > men <0582 >enowsh > [are] taken <0622 >acaph > away, none <0369 >ayin > considering <0995 biyn > that the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > is taken <0622 >acaph > away from the evil <7451 ra< > [to come].

:2 He shall enter <0935 bow> > into peace <7965 shalowm >:they shall rest <5117 nuwach > in their beds <4904 mishkab >, [each one] walking <1980 halak > [in] his uprightness <5228 nakoach >.

:3. But draw near <7126 qarab > hither, ye sons <1121 ben > of the sorceress <6049 <anan >, the seed <2233 zera< > of the adulterer <5003 na>aph > and the whore <2181 zanah >.

:4 Against <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > do ye sport <6026 <anag > yourselves? against <5921 <al > whom <4310 miy > make ye a wide <7337 rachab > mouth <6310 peh >, [and] draw <0748 >arak > out the tongue <3956 lashown >? [are] ye not children <3206 yeled > of transgression <6588 pesha< >, a seed <2233 zera< > of falsehood <8267 sheqer >,

:5 Enflaming <2552 chamam > yourselves with idols <0410 >el > under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >, slaying <7819 shachat > the children <3206 yeled > in the valleys <5158 nachal > under <8478 tachath > the clifts <5585 ca<iyph > of the rocks <5553 cela< >?

:6 Among the smooth <2511 challaq > [stones] of the stream <5158 nachal >[is] thy portion <2506 cheleq >; they, they [are] thy lot <1486 gowral >:even <1571 gam > to them hast thou poured <8210 shaphak > a drink <5262 necek > offering, thou hast offered <5927 <alah > a meat offering <4503 minchah >. Should I receive <5162 nacham > comfort <5162 nacham > in these <0428 >el-leh >?

:7 Upon a lofty <1364 gaboahh > and high <5375 nasa> > mountain <2022 har > hast thou set <7760 suwm > thy bed <4904 mishkab >:even <1571 gam > thither <8033 sham > wentest <5927 <alah > thou up to offer <2076 zabach > sacrifice <2077 zebach >.

:8 Behind <0310 >achar > the doors <1817 deleth > also and the posts <4201 m@zuwzah > hast thou set <7760 suwm > up thy remembrance <2146 zikrown >:for thou hast discovered <1540 galah > [thyself to another] than me, and art gone <5927 <alah > up; thou hast enlarged <7337 rachab > thy bed <4904 mishkab >, and made <3772 karath > thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst <0157 >ahab > their bed <4904 mishkab > where <3027 yad > thou sawest <2372 chazah > [it].

:9 And thou wentest <7788 shuwr > to the king <4428 melek > with ointment <8081 shemen >, and didst increase <7235 rabah > thy perfumes <7547 raqquach >, and didst send <7971 shalach > thy messengers <6735 tsiyr > far <7350 rachowq > off, and didst debase <8213 shaphel > [thyself even] unto hell <7585 sh@>owl >.

:10 Thou art wearied <3021 yaga< > in the greatness <7230 rob > of thy way <1870 derek >; [yet] saidst <0559 >amar > thou not, There is no hope <2976 ya>ash >:thou hast found <4672 matsa> > the life <2416 chay > of thine hand <3027 yad >; therefore thou wast not grieved <2470 chalah >.

:11 And of whom <4310 miy > hast thou been afraid <1672 da>ag > or feared <3372 yare> >, that thou hast lied <3576 kazab >, and hast not remembered <2142 zakar > me, nor <3808 lo> > laid <7760 suwm > [it] to thy heart <3820 leb >? have not I held <2814 chashah > my peace <2814 chashah > even of old <5769 <owlam >, and thou fearest <3372 yare> > me not?

:12 I will declare <5046 nagad > thy righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, and thy works <4639 ma<aseh >; for they shall not profit <3276 ya<al > thee.

:13. When thou criest <2199 za<aq >, let thy companies deliver <5337 natsal > thee; but the wind <7307 ruwach > shall carry <5375 nasa> > them all <3605 kol > away; vanity <1892 hebel > shall take <3947 laqach > [them]:but he that putteth his trust <2620 chacah > in me shall possess <5157 nachal > the land <0776 >erets >, and shall inherit <3423 yarash > my holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har >;

:14 And shall say <0559 >amar >, Cast <5549 calal > ye up, cast <5549 calal > ye up, prepare <6437 panah > the way <1870 derek >, take <7311 ruwm > up the stumblingblock <4383 mikshowl > out of the way <1870 derek > of my people <5971 <am >.

:15 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the high <7311 ruwm > and lofty <5375 nasa> > One that inhabiteth <7931 shakan > eternity <5703 <ad >, whose name <8034 shem > [is] Holy <6918 qadowsh >; I dwell <7931 shakan > in the high <4791 marowm > and holy <6918 qadowsh > [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite <1793 dakka> > and humble <8217 shaphal > spirit <7307 ruwach >, to revive <2421 chayah > the spirit <7307 ruwach > of the humble <8217 shaphal >, and to revive <2421 chayah > the heart <3820 leb > of the contrite <1792 daka> > ones.

:16 For I will not contend <7378 riyb > for ever <5769 <owlam >, neither <3808 lo> > will I be always <5331 netsach > wroth <7107 qatsaph >:for the spirit <7307 ruwach > should fail <5848 <ataph > before <6440 paniym > me, and the souls <5397 n@shamah > [which] I have made <6213 <asah >.

:17. For the iniquity <5771 <avon > of his covetousness <1215 betsa< > was I wroth <7107 qatsaph >, and smote <5221 nakah > him:I hid <5641 cathar > me, and was wroth <7107 qatsaph >, and he went <3212 yalak > on frowardly <7726 showbab > in the way <1870 derek > of his heart <3820 leb >.

:18 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > his ways <1870 derek >, and will heal <7495 rapha> > him:I will lead <5148 nachah > him also, and restore <7999 shalam > comforts <5150 nichuwm > unto him and to his mourners <57>.

:19 I create <1254 bara> > the fruit <5108 nowb > of the lips <8193 saphah >; Peace <7965 shalowm >, peace <7965 shalowm > to [him that is] far <7350 rachowq > off, and to [him that is] near <7138 qarowb >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and I will heal <7495 rapha> > him.

:20 But the wicked <7563 rasha< > [are] like the troubled <1644 garash > sea <3220 yam >, when <3588 kiy > it cannot rest <8252 shaqat >, whose waters <4325 mayim > cast <1644 garash > up mire <7516 rephesh > and dirt <2916 tiyt >.

:21 [There is] no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm >, saith <0559 >amar > my God <0430 >elohiym >, to the wicked <7563 rasha< >.

:Isaiah 58

:1. Cry <7121 qara> > aloud <1627 garown >, spare <2820 chasak > not, lift <7311 ruwm > up thy voice <6963 qowl > like a trumpet <7782 showphar >, and shew <5046 nagad > my people <5971 <am > their transgression <6588 pesha< >, and the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > their sins <2403 chatta>ah >.

:2 Yet they seek <1875 darash > me daily <3117 yowm >, and delight <2654 chaphets > to know <1847 da<ath > my ways <1870 derek >, as a nation <1471 gowy > that did <6213 <asah > righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, and forsook <5800 <azab > not the ordinance <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym >:they ask <7592 sha>al > of me the ordinances <4941 mishpat > of justice <6664 tsedeq >; they take delight <2654 chaphets > in approaching <7132 q@rabah > to God <0430 >elohiym >.

:3. Wherefore <4100 mah > have we fasted <6684 tsuwm >, [say they], and thou seest <7200 ra>ah > not? [wherefore] have we afflicted <6031 <anah > our soul <5315 nephesh >, and thou takest no <3808 lo> > knowledge <3045 yada< >? Behold <2005 hen >, in the day <3117 yowm > of your fast <6685 tsowm > ye find <4672 matsa> > pleasure <2656 chephets >, and exact <5065 nagas > all <3605 kol > your labours <6092 <atseb >.

:4 Behold <2005 hen >, ye fast <6684 tsuwm > for strife <7379 riyb > and debate <4683 matstsah >, and to smite <5221 nakah > with the fist <0106 >egroph > of wickedness <7562 resha< >:ye shall not fast <6684 tsuwm > as [ye do this] day <3117 yowm >, to make your voice <6963 qowl > to be heard <8085 shama< > on high <4791 marowm >.

:5 Is it such <2088 zeh > a fast <6685 tsowm > that I have chosen <0977 bachar >? a day <3117 yowm > for a man <0120 >adam > to afflict <6031 <anah > his soul <5315 nephesh >? [is it] to bow <3721 kaphaph > down his head <7218 ro>sh > as a bulrush <0100 >agmown >, and to spread <3331 yatsa< > sackcloth <8242 saq > and ashes <0665 >epher > [under him]? wilt thou call <7121 qara> > this <2088 zeh > a fast <6685 tsowm >, and an acceptable <7522 ratsown > day <3117 yowm > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >?

:6 [Is] not this <2088 zeh > the fast <6685 tsowm > that I have chosen <0977 bachar >? to loose <6605 pathach > the bands <2784 chartsubbah > of wickedness <7562 resha< >, to undo <5425 nathar > the heavy <4133 mowtah > burdens <92>, and to let the oppressed <7533 ratsats > go <7971 shalach > free <2670 chophshiy >, and that ye break <5423 nathaq > every <3605 kol > yoke <4133 mowtah >?

:7 [Is it] not to deal <6536 parac > thy bread <3899 lechem > to the hungry <7456 ra<eb >, and that thou bring <0935 bow> > the poor <6041 <aniy > that are cast <4788 maruwd > out to thy house <1004 bayith >? when <3588 kiy > thou seest <7200 ra>ah > the naked <6174 <arowm >, that thou cover <3680 kacah > him; and that thou hide <5956 <alam > not thyself from thine own flesh <1320 basar >?

:8. Then <0227 >az > shall thy light <0216 >owr > break <1234 baqa< > forth as the morning <7837 shachar >, and thine health <0724 >aruwkah > shall spring <6779 tsamach > forth speedily <4120 m@herah >:and thy righteousness <6664 tsedeq > shall go <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > thee; the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be thy rereward <0622 >acaph >.

:9 Then <0227 >az > shalt thou call <7121 qara> >, and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall answer <6030 <anah >; thou shalt cry <7768 shava< >, and he shall say <0559 >amar >, Here <2009 hinneh > I [am]. If thou take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > from the midst <8432 tavek > of thee the yoke <4133 mowtah >, the putting <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > of the finger <0676 >etsba< >, and speaking <1696 dabar > vanity <0205 >aven >;

:10 And [if] thou draw <6329 puwq > out thy soul <5315 nephesh > to the hungry <7456 ra<eb >, and satisfy <7646 saba< > the afflicted <6031 <anah > soul <5315 nephesh >; then shall thy light <0216 >owr > rise <2224 zarach > in obscurity <2822 choshek >, and thy darkness <0653 >aphelah > [be] as the noonday <6672 tsohar >:

:11 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall guide <5148 nachah > thee continually <8548 tamiyd >, and satisfy <7646 saba< > thy soul <5315 nephesh > in drought <6710 tsachtsachah >, and make fat <2502 chalats > thy bones <6106 <etsem >:and thou shalt be like a watered <7302 raveh > garden <1588 gan >, and like a spring <4161 mowtsa> > of water <4325 mayim >, whose <0834 >aher > waters <4325 mayim > fail <3576 kazab > not.

:12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build <1129 banah > the old <5769 <owlam > waste <2723 chorbah > places:thou shalt raise <6965 quwm > up the foundations <4146 mowcadah > of many generations <1755 dowr >; and thou shalt be called <7121 qara> >, The repairer <1443 gadar > of the breach <6556 perets >, The restorer <7725 shuwb > of paths <5410 nathiyb > to dwell <3427 yashab > in.

:13. If <0518 >im > thou turn <7725 shuwb > away thy foot <7272 regel > from the sabbath <7676 shabbath >, [from] doing <6213 <asah > thy pleasure <2656 chephets > on my holy <6944 qodesh > day <3117 yowm >; and call <7121 qara> > the sabbath <7676 shabbath > a delight <6027 <oneg >, the holy <6918 qadowsh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, honourable <3513 kabad >; and shalt honour <3513 kabad > him, not doing <6213 <asah > thine own ways <1870 derek >, nor finding <4672 matsa> > thine own pleasure <2656 chephets >, nor speaking <1696 dabar > [thine own] words <1697 dabar >:

:14 Then <0227 >az > shalt thou delight <6026 <anag > thyself in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and I will cause thee to ride <7392 rakab > upon the high <1116 bamah > places of the earth <0776 >erets >, and feed <0398 >akal > thee with the heritage <5159 nachalah > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > thy father <1>:for the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > [it].

:Isaiah 59

:1. Behold <2005 hen >, the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > hand <3027 yad > is not shortened <7114 qatsar >, that it cannot <3808 lo> > save <3467 yasha< >; neither <3808 lo> > his ear <0241 >ozen > heavy <3513 kabad >, that it cannot <3808 lo> > hear <8085 shama< >:

:2 But your iniquities <5771 <avon > have separated <0914 badal > between <0996 beyn > you and your God <0430 >elohiym >, and your sins <2403 chatta>ah > have hid <5641 cathar > [his] face <6440 paniym > from you, that he will not hear <8085 shama< >.

:3 For your hands <3709 kaph > are defiled <1351 ga>al > with blood <1818 dam >, and your fingers <0676 >etsba< > with iniquity <5771 <avon >; your lips <8193 saphah > have spoken <1696 dabar > lies <8267 sheqer >, your tongue <3956 lashown > hath muttered <1897 hagah > perverseness <5766 <evel >.

:4 None <0369 >ayin > calleth <7121 qara> > for justice <6664 tsedeq >, nor <0369 >ayin > [any] pleadeth <8199 shaphat > for truth <0530 >emuwnah >:they trust <0982 batach > in vanity <8414 tohuw >, and speak <1696 dabar > lies <7723 shav> >; they conceive <2029 harah > mischief <5999 <amal >, and bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > iniquity <0205 >aven >.

:5 They hatch <1234 baqa< > cockatrice <6848 tsepha< >' eggs <1000 beytsah >, and weave <0707 >arag > the spider's <5908 <akkabiysh > web <6980 quwr >:he that eateth <0398 >akal > of their eggs <1000 beytsah > dieth <4191 muwth >, and that which is crushed <2116 zuwreh > breaketh <1234 baqa< > out into a viper <0660 >eph<eh >.

:6 Their webs <6980 quwr > shall not become <1961 hayah > garments <0899 beged >, neither <3808 lo> > shall they cover <3680 kacah > themselves with their works <4639 ma<aseh >:their works <4639 ma<aseh > [are] works <4639 ma<aseh > of iniquity <0205 >aven >, and the act <6467 po<al > of violence <2555 chamac > [is] in their hands <3709 kaph >.

:7 Their feet <7272 regel > run <7323 ruwts > to evil <7451 ra< >, and they make haste <4116 mahar > to shed <8210 shaphak > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam >:their thoughts <4284 machashabah > [are] thoughts <4284 machashabah > of iniquity <0205 >aven >; wasting <7701 shod > and destruction <7667 sheber > [are] in their paths <4546 m@cillah >.

:8 The way <1870 derek > of peace <7965 shalowm > they know <3045 yada< > not; and [there is] no <0369 >ayin > judgment <4941 mishpat > in their goings <4570 ma<gal >:they have made them crooked <6140 <aqash > paths <5410 nathiyb >:whosoever <3605 kol > goeth <1869 darak > therein shall not know <3045 yada< > peace <7965 shalowm >.

:9. Therefore is judgment <4941 mishpat > far <7368 rachaq > from us, neither <3808 lo> > doth justice <6666 ts@daqah > overtake <5381 nasag > us:we wait <6960 qavah > for light <0216 >owr >, but behold <2009 hinneh > obscurity <2822 choshek >; for brightness <5054 n@gohah >, [but] we walk <1980 halak > in darkness <0653 >aphelah >.

:10 We grope <1659 gashash > for the wall <7023 qiyr > like the blind <5787 <ivver >, and we grope <1659 gashash > as if [we had] no <0369 >ayin > eyes <5869 <ayin >:we stumble <3782 kashal > at noonday <6672 tsohar > as in the night <5399 nesheph >; [we are] in desolate <0820 >ashman > places as dead <4191 muwth > [men].

:11 We roar <1993 hamah > all <3605 kol > like bears <1677 dob >, and mourn <1897 hagah > sore like doves <3123 yownah >:we look <6960 qavah > for judgment <4941 mishpat >, but [there is] none <0369 >ayin >; for salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah >, [but] it is far <7368 rachaq > off from us.

:12 For our transgressions <6588 pesha< > are multiplied <7231 rabab > before <5048 neged > thee, and our sins <2403 chatta>ah > testify <6030 <anah > against us:for our transgressions <6588 pesha< > [are] with us; and [as for] our iniquities <5771 <avon >, we know <3045 yada< > them;

:13 In transgressing <6586 pasha< > and lying <3584 kachash > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and departing <5253 nacag > away from our God <0430 >elohiym >, speaking <1696 dabar > oppression <6233 <osheq > and revolt <5627 carah >, conceiving <2030 hareh > and uttering <1897 hagah > from the heart <3820 leb > words <1697 dabar > of falsehood <8267 sheqer >.

:14 And judgment <4941 mishpat > is turned <5253 nacag > away backward <0268 >achowr >, and justice <6666 ts@daqah > standeth <5975 <amad > afar <7350 rachowq > off:for truth <0571 >emeth > is fallen <3782 kashal > in the street <7339 r@chob >, and equity <5229 n@kochah > cannot enter <0935 bow> >.

:15 Yea, truth <0571 >emeth > faileth <5737 <adar >; and he [that] departeth<5493 cuwr > from evil <7451 ra< > maketh himself a prey <7997 shalal >:and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saw <7200 ra>ah > [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no <0369 >ayin > judgment <4941 mishpat >.

:16. And he saw <7200 ra>ah > that [there was] no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh >, and wondered <8074 shamem > that [there was] no <0369 >ayin > intercessor <6293 paga< >:therefore his arm <2220 z@rowa< > brought <3467 yasha< > salvation <3467 yasha< > unto him; and his righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, it sustained <5564 camak > him.

:17 For he put <3847 labash > on righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > as a breastplate <8302 shiryown >, and an helmet <3553 kowba< > of salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > upon his head <7218 ro>sh >; and he put <3847 labash > on the garments <0899 beged > of vengeance <5359 naqam > [for] clothing <8516 talbosheth >, and was clad <5844 <atah > with zeal <7068 qin>ah > as a cloke <4598 m@<iyl >.

:18 According <5921 <al > to [their] deeds <1578 g@muwlah >, accordingly <5922 <al > he will repay <7999 shalam >, fury <2534 chemah > to his adversaries <6862 tsar >, recompence <1576 g@muwl > to his enemies <0341 >oyeb >; to the islands <0339 >iy > he will repay <7999 shalam > recompence <1576 g@muwl >.

:19 So shall they fear <3372 yare> > the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > from the west <4628 ma<arab >, and his glory <3519 kabowd > from the rising <4217 mizrach > of the sun <8121 shemesh >. When <3588 kiy > the enemy <6862 tsar > shall come <0935 bow> > in like a flood <5104 nahar >, the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall lift <5127 nuwc > up a standard <5127 nuwc > against him.

:20 And the Redeemer <1350 ga>al > shall come <0935 bow> > to Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, and unto them that turn <7725 shuwb > from transgression <6588 pesha< > in Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

:21 As for me, this <2063 zo>th > [is] my covenant <1285 b@riyth > with them, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; My spirit <7307 ruwach > that [is] upon thee, and my words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > I have put <7760 suwm > in thy mouth <6310 peh >, shall not depart <4185 muwsh > out of thy mouth <6310 peh >, nor out of the mouth <6310 peh > of thy seed <2233 zera< >, nor out of the mouth <6310 peh > of thy seed's <2233 zera< > seed <2233 zera< >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, from henceforth <3254 yacaph > and for ever <5769 <owlam >.
