: Isaiah 35

 : 1 .  The wilderness <4057 midbar > and the solitary <6723 tsiyah > place shall be glad <7996 Shalleketh > for them ;  and the desert <6160 <arabah > shall rejoice <1523 giyl > ,  and blossom <6524 parach > as the rose <2261 chabatstseleth > .

 : 2 It shall blossom <6524 parach > abundantly <6524 parach > ,  and rejoice <1523 giyl > even <0637 >aph > with joy <1525 giylah > and singing <7442 ranan > : the glory <3519 kabowd > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > shall be given <5414 nathan > unto it ,  the excellency <1926 hadar > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > and Sharon <8289 Sharown > ,  they shall see <7200 ra>ah > the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and ]  the excellency <1926 hadar > of our God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 3 Strengthen <2388 chazaq > ye the weak <7504 rapheh > hands <3027 yad > ,  and confirm <0553 >amats > the feeble <3782 kashal > knees <1290 berek > .

 : 4 Say <0559 >amar > to them  [ that are ]  of a fearful <4116 mahar > heart <3820 leb > ,  Be strong <2388 chazaq > ,  fear <3372 yare> > not : behold <2009 hinneh > ,  your God <0430 >elohiym > will come <0935 bow> >  [ with ]  vengeance <5359 naqam > ,   [ even ]  God <0430 >elohiym >  [ with ]  a recompence <1576 g@muwl > ;  he will come <0935 bow> > and save <3467 yasha< > you .

 : 5 .  Then <0227 >az > the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the blind <5787 <ivver > shall be opened <6491 paqach > ,  and the ears <0241 >ozen > of the deaf <2795 cheresh > shall be unstopped <6605 pathach > .

 : 6 Then <0227 >az > shall the lame <6455 picceach >  [ man ]  leap <1801 dalag > as an hart <0354 >ayal > ,  and the tongue <3956 lashown > of the dumb <0483 >illem > sing <7442 ranan > : for in the wilderness <4057 midbar > shall waters <4325 mayim > break <1234 baqa< > out ,  and streams <5158 nachal > in the desert <6160 <arabah > .

 : 7 And the parched <8273 sharab > ground shall become <1961 hayah > a pool <98> ,  and the thirsty <6774 tsimma>own > land springs <4002 mabbuwa< > of water <4325 mayim > : in the habitation <5116 naveh > of dragons <8577 tanniyn > ,  where each lay <7258 rebets > ,   [ shall be ]  grass <2682 chatsiyr > with reeds <7070 qaneh > and rushes <1573 gome> > .

 : 8 And an highway <4547 macluwl > shall be there <8033 sham > ,  and a way <1870 derek > ,  and it shall be called <7121 qara> > The way <1870 derek > of holiness <6944 qodesh > ;  the unclean <2931 tame> > shall not pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > it ;  but it  [ shall be ]  for those : the wayfaring men <0582 >enowsh > ,  though fools <0191 >eviyl > ,  shall not err <8582 ta<ah >  [ therein ]  .

 : 9 No <3808 lo> > lion <0738 >ariy > shall be there <8033 sham > ,  nor <1077 bal >  [ any ]  ravenous <6530 p@riyts > beast <2416 chay > shall go <5927 <alah > up thereon ,  it shall not be found <4672 matsa> > there <8033 sham > ;  but the redeemed <1350 ga>al > shall walk <1980 halak >  [ there ]  :

 : 10 And the ransomed <6299 padah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall return <7725 shuwb > ,  and come <0935 bow> > to Zion <6726 Tsiyown > with songs <7440 rinnah > and everlasting <5769 <owlam > joy <8057 simchah > upon their heads <7218 ro>sh > : they shall obtain <5381 nasag > joy <8057 simchah > and gladness <8057 simchah > ,  and sorrow <3015 yagown > and sighing <0585 >anachah > shall flee <5127 nuwc > away .

 : Isaiah 36

 : 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 > .

 : 3 Then came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto him Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > ,  Hilkiah s <2518 Chilqiyah > son <1121 ben > ,  which <0834 >aher > was over <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > ,  and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe <5608 caphar > ,  and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > ,  Asaph s <0623 >Acaph > son <1121 ben > ,  the recorder <2142 zakar > .

 : 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 .

 : 9 How <0349 >eyk > then wilt thou turn <7725 shuwb > away the face <6440 paniym > of one <0259 >echad > captain <6346 pechah > of the least <6996 qatan > of my master s <0113 >adown > servants <5650 <ebed > ,  and put thy trust <0982 batach > on <5921 <al > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > for chariots <7393 rekeb > and for horsemen <6571 parash > ?

 : 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 > .

 : 16 Hearken <8085 shama< > not to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > : for thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  Make <6213 <asah >  [ an agreement ]  with me  [ by ]  a present <1293 B@rakah > ,  and come <3318 yatsa> > out to me : and eat <0398 >akal > ye every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > of his vine <1612 gephen > ,  and every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > of his fig <8384 t@>en > tree ,  and drink <8354 shathah > ye every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > the waters <4325 mayim > of his own cistern <0953 bowr > ;

 : 17 Until <5704 <ad > I come <0935 bow> > and take <3947 laqach > you away to a land <0776 >erets > like your own land <0776 >erets > ,  a land <0776 >erets > of corn <1715 dagan > and wine <8492 tiyrowsh > ,  a land <0776 >erets > of bread <3899 lechem > and vineyards <3754 kerem > .

 : 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 .

 : 22 Then came <0935 bow> > Eliakim <0471 >Elyaqiym > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah > ,  that  [ was ]  over <5921 <al > the household <1004 bayith > ,  and Shebna <7644 Shebna> > the scribe <5608 caphar > ,  and Joah <3098 Yow>ach > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Asaph <0623 >Acaph > ,  the recorder <2142 zakar > ,  to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > with  [ their ]  clothes <0899 beged > rent <7167 qara< > ,  and told <5046 nagad > him the words <1697 dabar > of Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > .

 : 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 > .

 : 3 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,  This <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >  [ is ]  a day <3117 yowm > of trouble <6869 tsarah > ,  and of rebuke <8433 towkechah > ,  and of blasphemy <5007 n@>atsah > : for the children <1121 ben > are come <0935 bow> > to the birth <4866 mishber > ,  and  [ there is ]  not strength <3581 koach > to bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > .

 : 4 It may be the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > will hear <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of Rabshakeh <7262 Rabshaqeh > ,  whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > his master <0113 >adown > hath sent <7971 shalach > to reproach <2778 charaph .  > the living <2416 chay > God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and will reprove <3198 yakach > the words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > hath heard <8085 shama< > : wherefore lift <5375 nasa> > up  [ thy ]  prayer <8605 t@phillah > for the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > that is left <4672 matsa> > .

 : 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 .

 : 7 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will send <7971 shalach > a blast <7307 ruwach > upon him ,  and he shall hear <8085 shama< > a rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > ,  and return <7725 shuwb > to his own land <0776 >erets > ;  and I will cause him to fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > in his own land <0776 >erets > .

 : 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 > .

 : 9 And he heard <8085 shama< > say <0559 >amar > concerning <5921 <al > Tirhakah <8640 Tirhaqah > king <4428 melek > of Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh > ,  He is come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to make war <3898 lacham > with thee .  And when he heard <8085 shama< >  [ it ]  ,  he sent <7971 shalach > messengers <4397 mal>ak > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 10 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye speak <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Let not thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  in whom <0834 >aher > thou trustest <0982 batach > ,  deceive <5377 nasha> > thee ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall not be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > .

 : 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 > ?

 : 13 Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  the king <4428 melek > of Hamath <2574 Chamath > ,  and the king <4428 melek > of Arphad <0774 >Arpad > ,  and the king <4428 melek > of the city <5892 <iyr > of Sepharvaim <5617 C@pharvayim > ,  Hena <2012 Hena< > ,  and Ivah <5755 <Ivvah > ?

 : 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 > .

 : 15 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,

 : 16 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  that dwellest <3427 yashab >  [ between ]  the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > ,  thou  [ art ]  the God <0430 >elohiym > ,   [ even ]  thou alone <0905 bad > ,  of all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets > : thou hast made <6213 <asah > heaven <8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets > .

 : 17 Incline <5186 natah > thine ear <0241 >ozen > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and hear <8085 shama< > ;  open <6491 paqach > thine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and see <7200 ra>ah > : and hear <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > of Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > ,  which <0834 >aher > hath sent <7971 shalach > to reproach <2778 charaph .  > the living <2416 chay > God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 18 Of a truth <0551 >omnam > ,  LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the kings <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > have laid waste <2717 charab > all <3605 kol > the nations <0776 >erets > ,  and their countries <0776 >erets > ,

 : 19 And have cast <5414 nathan > their gods <0430 >elohiym > into the fire <0784 >esh > : for they  [ were ]  no <3808 lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  but the work <4639 ma<aseh > of men s <0120 >adam > hands <3027 yad > ,  wood <6086 <ets > and stone <68> : therefore they have destroyed <6> them .

 : 20 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > ,  save <3467 yasha< > us from his hand <3027 yad > ,  that all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets > may know <3045 yada< > that thou  [ art ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ even ]  thou only <0905 bad > .

 : 21 .  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 > .

 : 25 I have digged <5365 naqar > ,  and drunk <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim > ;  and with the sole <3709 kaph > of my feet <6471 pa<am > have I dried <2717 charab > up all <3605 kol > the rivers <2975 y@<or > of the besieged <4693 matsowr > places .

 : 26 Hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > long <5704 <ad > ago <7350 rachowq > ,   [ how ]  I have done <6213 <asah > it ;   [ and ]  of ancient <6924 qedem > times <3117 yowm > ,  that I have formed <3335 yatsar > it ?  now <6258 <attah > have I brought <0935 bow> > it to pass ,  that thou shouldest be to lay waste <7582 sha>ah > defenced <1219 batsar > cities <5892 <iyr >  [ into ]  ruinous <5327 natsah > heaps <1530 gal > .

 : 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 .

 : 29 Because <3282 ya<an > thy rage <7264 ragaz > against <0413 >el > me ,  and thy tumult <7600 sha>anan > ,  is come <5927 <alah > up into mine ears <0241 >ozen > ,  therefore will I put <7760 suwm > my hook <2397 chach > in thy nose <0639 >aph > ,  and my bridle <4964 metheg > in thy lips <8193 saphah > ,  and I will turn <7725 shuwb > thee back <7725 shuwb > by the way <1870 derek > by which <0834 >aher > thou camest <0935 bow> > .

 : 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 .

 : 31 And the remnant <7604 sha>ar > that is escaped <6413 p@leytah > of the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall again take root <8328 sheresh > downward <4295 mattah > ,  and bear <6213 <asah > fruit <6529 p@riy > upward <4605 ma<al > :

 : 32 For out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > shall go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > ,  and they that escape <6413 p@leytah > out of mount <2022 har > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > : the zeal <7068 qin>ah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > shall do <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > .

 : 33 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > the king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > ,  He shall not come <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  nor <3808 lo> > shoot an arrow <2671 chets > there <8033 sham > ,  nor <3808 lo> > come <6923 qadam > before <6924 qedem > it with shields <4043 magen > ,  nor <3808 lo> > cast <8210 shaphak > a bank <5550 col@lah > against <5921 <al > it .

 : 34 By the way <1870 derek > that he came <0935 bow> > ,  by the same shall he return <7725 shuwb > ,  and shall not come <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 35 For I will defend <1598 ganan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > to save <3467 yasha< > it for mine own sake ,  and for my servant <5650 <ebed > David s <1732 David > sake <4616 ma<an > .

 : 36 Then the angel <4397 mal>ak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  and smote <5221 nakah > in the camp <4264 machaneh > of the Assyrians <0804 >Ashshuwr > a hundred <3967 me>ah > and fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > and five <2568 chamesh > thousand <0505 >eleph > : and when they arose <2224 zarach > early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  they  [ were ]  all <3605 kol > dead <4191 muwth > corpses <6297 peger > .

 : 37 So Sennacherib <5576 Cancheriyb > king <4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr > departed <5265 naca< > ,  and went <3212 yalak > and returned <7725 shuwb > ,  and dwelt <3427 yashab > at Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > .

 : 38 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  as he was worshipping <7812 shachah > in the house <1004 bayith > of Nisroch <5268 Nicrok > his god <0430 >elohiym > ,  that Adrammelech <0152 >Adrammelek > and Sharezer <8272 Shar>etser > his sons <1121 ben > smote <5221 nakah > him with the sword <2719 chereb > ;  and they escaped <4422 malat > into the land <0776 >erets > of Armenia <0780 >Ararat > : and Esarhaddon <0634 >Ecar - Chaddown > his son <1121 ben > reigned <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 tachath > .

 : Isaiah 38

 : 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 > ,

 : 3 And said <0559 >amar > ,  Remember <2142 zakar > now <4994 na> > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  I beseech <0577 >anna> > thee ,  how <0834 >aher > I have walked <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > thee in truth <0571 >emeth > and with a perfect <8003 shalem > heart <3820 leb > ,  and have done <6213 <asah >  [ that which is ]  good <2896 towb > in thy sight <5869 <ayin > .  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 > ,

 : 5 Go <1980 halak > ,  and say <0559 >amar > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of David <1732 David > thy father <1> ,  I have heard <8085 shama< > thy prayer <8605 t@phillah > ,  I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thy tears <1832 dim<ah > : behold <2005 hen > ,  I will add <3254 yacaph > unto thy days <3117 yowm > fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh > .

 : 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 > ;

 : 8 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the shadow <6738 tsel > of the degrees <4609 ma<alah > ,  which <0834 >aher > is gone <3381 yarad > down in the sun <8121 shemesh > dial <4609 ma<alah > of Ahaz <0271 >Achaz > ,  ten <6235 <eser > degrees <4609 ma<alah > backward <0322 >achoranniyth > .  So the sun <8121 shemesh > returned <7725 shuwb > ten <6235 <eser > degrees <4609 ma<alah > ,  by which degrees <4609 ma<alah > it was gone <3381 yarad > down .

 : 9 .  The writing <4385 miktab > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  when he had been sick <2470 chalah > ,  and was recovered <2421 chayah > of his sickness <2483 choliy > :

 : 10 I said <0559 >amar > in the cutting <1824 d@miy > off of my days <3117 yowm > ,  I shall go <3212 yalak > to the gates <8179 sha<ar > of the grave <7585 sh@>owl > : I am deprived <6485 paqad > of the residue <3499 yether > of my years <8141 shaneh > .

 : 11 I said <0559 >amar > ,  I shall not see <7200 ra>ah > the LORD <3050 Yahh > ,   [ even ]  the LORD <3050 Yahh > ,  in the land <0776 >erets > of the living <2416 chay > : I shall behold <7200 ra>ah > man <0120 >adam > no <3808 lo> > more with the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the world <2309 chedel > .

 : 12 Mine age <1755 dowr > is departed <5265 naca< > ,  and is removed <1556 galal > from me as a shepherd s <7473 ro<iy > tent <0168 >ohel > : I have cut <7088 qaphad > off like a weaver <0707 >arag > my life <2416 chay > : he will cut <1214 batsa< > me off with pining <1803 dallah > sickness : from day <3117 yowm >  [ even ]  to night <3915 layil > wilt thou make an end <7999 shalam > of me .

 : 13 I reckoned <7737 shavah > till <5704 <ad > morning <1242 boqer > ,   [ that ]  ,  as a lion <0738 >ariy > ,  so <3651 ken > will he break <7665 shabar > all <3605 kol > my bones <6106 <etsem > : from day <3117 yowm >  [ even ]  to night <3915 layil > wilt thou make an end <7999 shalam > of me .

 : 14 Like a crane <5483 cuwc >  [ or ]  a swallow <5693 <aguwr > ,  so <3651 ken > did I chatter <6850 tsaphaph > : I did mourn <1897 hagah > as a dove <3123 yownah > : mine eyes <5869 <ayin > fail <1809 dalal >  [ with looking ]  upward <4791 marowm > : O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  I am oppressed <6234 <oshqah > ;  undertake <6148 <arab > for me .

 : 15 What <4100 mah > shall I say <1696 dabar > ?  he hath both spoken <0559 >amar > unto me ,  and himself <1931 huw> > hath done <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  : I shall go <1718 dadah > softly all <3605 kol > my years <8141 shaneh > in the bitterness <4751 mar > of my soul <5315 nephesh > .

 : 16 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  by these <5921 <al >  [ things men ]  live <2421 chayah > ,  and in all <3605 kol > these  [ things is ]  the life <2416 chay > of my spirit <7307 ruwach > : so wilt thou recover <2492 chalam > me ,  and make me to live <2421 chayah > .

 : 17 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  for peace <7965 shalowm > I had great bitterness <4843 marar > : but thou hast in love <2836 chashaq > to my soul <5315 nephesh >  [ delivered it ]  from the pit <7845 shachath > of corruption <1097 b@liy > : for thou hast cast <7993 shalak > all <3605 kol > my sins <2399 chet> > behind <0310 >achar > thy back <1458 gav > .

 : 18 For the grave <7585 sh@>owl > cannot <3808 lo> > praise <3034 yadah > thee ,  death <4194 maveth > can <3201 yakol >  [ not ]  celebrate <1984 halal > thee : they that go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > into the pit <0953 bowr > cannot <3808 lo> > hope <7663 sabar > for thy truth <0571 >emeth > .

 : 19 The living <2416 chay > ,  the living <2416 chay > ,  he shall praise <3034 yadah > thee ,  as I  [ do ]  this day <3117 yowm > : the father <1> to the children <1121 ben > shall make known <3045 yada< > thy truth <0571 >emeth > .

 : 20 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ was ready ]  to save <3467 yasha< > me : therefore we will sing my songs <5058 n@giynah > to the stringed <5058 n@giynah > instruments all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of our life <2416 chay > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 21 For Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > had said <0559 >amar > ,  Let them take <5375 nasa> > a lump <1690 d@belah > of figs <8384 t@>en > ,  and lay  [ it ]  for a plaister <4799 marach > upon the boil <7822 sh@chiyn > ,  and he shall recover <2421 chayah > .

 : 22 Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > also had said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah >  [ is ]  the sign <0226 >owth > that I shall go <5927 <alah > up to the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ?

 : Isaiah 39

 : 1 .  At that time <6256 <eth > Merodachbaladan <4757 M@ro>dak Bal>adan > ,  the son <1121 ben > of Baladan <1081 Bal>adan > ,  king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  sent <7971 shalach > letters <5612 cepher > and a present <4503 minchah > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > : for he had heard <8085 shama< > that he had been sick <2470 chalah > ,  and was recovered <2388 chazaq > .

 : 2 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > was glad <8056 sameach > of them ,  and shewed <7200 ra>ah > them the house <1004 bayith > of his precious <5238 n@koth > things ,  the silver <3701 keceph > ,  and the gold <2091 zahab > ,  and the spices <1314 besem > ,  and the precious <2896 towb > ointment <8081 shemen > ,  and all <3605 kol > the house <1004 bayith > of his armour <3627 k@liy > ,  and all <3605 kol > that was found <4672 matsa> > in his treasures <0214 >owtsar > : there was nothing in his house <1004 bayith > ,  nor in all <3605 kol > his dominion <4475 memshalah > ,  that Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > them not .

 : 3 Then came <0935 bow> > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto king <4428 melek > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him ,  What <4100 mah > said <0559 >amar > these <0428 >el - leh > men <0582 >enowsh > ?  and from whence <0370 >aiyn > came <0935 bow> > they unto thee ?  And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar > ,  They are come <0935 bow> > from a far <7350 rachowq > country <0776 >erets > unto me ,   [ even ]  from Babylon <0894 Babel > .

 : 4 Then said <0559 >amar > he ,  What <4100 mah > have they seen <7200 ra>ah > in thine house <1004 bayith > ?  And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > answered <0559 >amar > ,  All <3605 kol > that  [ is ]  in mine house <1004 bayith > have they seen <7200 ra>ah > : there is nothing among my treasures <0214 >owtsar > that I have not shewed <7200 ra>ah > them .

 : 5 .  Then said <0559 >amar > Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > to Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > ,  Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > :

 : 6 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow> > ,  that all <3605 kol > that  [ is ]  in thine house <1004 bayith > ,  and  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher > thy fathers <1> have laid up in store <0686 >atsar > until <5704 <ad > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > ,  shall be carried <5375 nasa> > to Babylon <0894 Babel > : nothing shall be left <3498 yathar > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 7 And of thy sons <1121 ben > that shall issue <3318 yatsa> > from thee ,  which <0834 >aher > thou shalt beget <3205 yalad > ,  shall they take <3947 laqach > away ;  and they shall be eunuchs <5631 cariyc > in the palace <1964 heykal > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > .

 : 8 Then said <0559 >amar > Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > to Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > ,  Good <1319 basar >  [ is ]  the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which <0834 >aher > thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > .  He said <0559 >amar > moreover ,  For there shall be peace <7965 shalowm > and truth <0571 >emeth > in my days <3117 yowm > .

 : Isaiah 40

 : 1 .  Comfort <5162 nacham > ye ,  comfort <5162 nacham > ye my people <5971 <am > ,  saith <0559 >amar > your God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 2 Speak <1696 dabar > ye comfortably to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and cry <7121 qara> > unto her ,  that her warfare <6635 tsaba> > is accomplished <4390 male> > ,  that her iniquity <5771 <avon > is pardoned <7521 ratsah > : for she hath received <3947 laqach > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > hand <3027 yad > double <3718 kephel > for all <3605 kol > her sins <2403 chatta>ah > .

 : 3 .  The voice <6963 qowl > of him that crieth <7121 qara> > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  Prepare <6437 panah > ye the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  make straight <3474 yashar > in the desert <6160 <arabah > a highway <4546 m@cillah > for our God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 4 Every <3605 kol > valley <1516 gay> > shall be exalted <5375 nasa> > ,  and every <3605 kol > mountain <2022 har > and hill <1389 gib<ah > shall be made low <8213 shaphel > : and the crooked <6121 <aqob > shall be made straight <4334 miyshowr > ,  and the rough <7406 rekec > places plain <1237 biq<ah > :

 : 5 And the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be revealed <1540 galah > ,  and all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > shall see <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  together <3162 yachad > : for the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  .

 : 6 The voice <6963 qowl > said <0559 >amar > ,  Cry <7121 qara> > .  And he said <0559 >amar > ,  What <4100 mah > shall I cry <7121 qara> > ?  All <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar >  [ is ]  grass <2682 chatsiyr > ,  and all <3605 kol > the goodliness <2617 checed > thereof  [ is ]  as the flower <6731 tsiyts > of the field <7704 sadeh > :

 : 7 The grass <2682 chatsiyr > withereth <3001 yabesh > ,  the flower <6731 tsiyts > fadeth <5034 nabel > : because <3588 kiy > the spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > bloweth <5380 nashab > upon it : surely <0406 >ikkar > the people <5971 <am >  [ is ]  grass <2682 chatsiyr > .

 : 8 The grass <2682 chatsiyr > withereth <3001 yabesh > ,  the flower <6731 tsiyts > fadeth <5034 nabel > : but the word <1697 dabar > of our God <0430 >elohiym > shall stand <6965 quwm > for ever <5769 <owlam > .

 : 9 .  O Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,  that bringest <1319 basar > good <1319 basar > tidings <1319 basar > ,  get <5927 <alah > thee up into <5921 <al > the high <1364 gaboahh > mountain <2022 har > ;  O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  that bringest <1319 basar > good tidings <1319 basar > ,  lift <7311 ruwm > up thy voice <6963 qowl > with strength <3581 koach > ;  lift <7311 ruwm >  [ it ]  up ,  be not afraid <3372 yare> > ;  say <0559 >amar > unto the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > your God <0430 >elohiym > !

 : 10 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > will come <0935 bow> > with strong <2389 chazaq >  [ hand ]  ,  and his arm <2220 z@rowa< > shall rule <4910 mashal > for him : behold <2009 hinneh > ,  his reward <7939 sakar >  [ is ]  with him ,  and his work <6468 p@<ullah > before <6440 paniym > him .

 : 11 He shall feed <7462 ra<ah > his flock <5739 <eder > like a shepherd <7462 ra<ah > : he shall gather <6908 qabats > the lambs <2922 t@la> > with his arm <2220 z@rowa< > ,  and carry <5375 nasa> >  [ them ]  in his bosom <2436 cheyq > ,   [ and ]  shall gently lead <5095 nahal > those that are with young <5763 <uwl > .

 : 12 .  Who <4310 miy > hath measured <4058 madad > the waters <4325 mayim > inthe hollow <8168 sho<al > of his hand ,  and meted <8505 takan > out heaven <8064 shamayim > with the span <2239 zereth > ,  and comprehended <3557 kuwl > the dust <6083 <aphar > of the earth <0776 >erets > in a measure <7991 shaliysh > ,  and weighed <8254 shaqal > the mountains <2022 har > in scales <6425 pelec > ,  and the hills <1389 gib<ah > in a balance <3976 mo>zen > ?

 : 13 Who <4310 miy > hath directed <8505 takan > the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  or  [ being ]  his counsellor <6098 <etsah > hath taught <3045 yada< > him ?

 : 14 With whom <4310 miy > took he counsel <3289 ya<ats > ,  and  [ who ]  instructed <0995 biyn > him ,  and taught <3925 lamad > him in the path <0734 >orach > of judgment <4941 mishpat > ,  and taught <3925 lamad > him knowledge <1847 da<ath > ,  and shewed <3045 yada< > to him the way <1870 derek > of understanding <8394 tabuwn > ?

 : 15 Behold <2005 hen > ,  the nations <1471 gowy >  [ are ]  as a drop <4752 mar > of a bucket <1805 d@liy > ,  and are counted <2803 chashab > as the small dust <7834 shachaq > of the balance <3976 mo>zen > : behold <2005 hen > ,  he taketh <5190 natal > up the isles <0339 >iy > as a very <1851 daq > little <1851 daq > thing .

 : 16 And Lebanon <3844 L@banown >  [ is ]  not sufficient <1767 day > to burn <1197 ba<ar > ,  nor <0369 >ayin > the beasts <2416 chay > thereof sufficient <1767 day > for a burnt <5930 <olah > offering .

 : 17 All <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy > before <6440 paniym > him  [ are ]  as nothing <0369 >ayin > ;  and they are counted <2803 chashab > to him less <0657 >ephec > than nothing ,  and vanity <8414 tohuw > .

 : 18 .  To whom <4310 miy > then will ye liken <1819 damah > God <0410 >el > ?  or what <4100 mah > likeness <1823 d@muwth > will ye compare <6186 <arak > unto him ?

 : 19 The workman <2796 charash > melteth <5258 nacak > a graven <6459 pecel > image ,  and the goldsmith <6884 tsaraph > spreadeth <7554 raqa< > it over with gold <2091 zahab > ,  and casteth <6884 tsaraph > silver <3701 keceph > chains <7569 rattowq > .

 : 20 He that  [ is ]  so impoverished <5533 cakan > that he hath no <3808 lo> > oblation <8641 t@ruwmah > chooseth <0977 bachar > a tree <6086 <ets >  [ that ]  will not rot <7537 raqab > ;  he seeketh <1245 baqash > unto him a cunning <2450 chakam > workman <2796 charash > to prepare <3559 kuwn > a graven <6459 pecel > image ,   [ that ]  shall not be moved <4131 mowt > .

 : 21 Have ye not known <3045 yada< > ?  have ye not heard <8085 shama< > ?  hath it not been told <5046 nagad > you from the beginning <7218 ro>sh > ?  have ye not understood <0995 biyn > from the foundations <4146 mowcadah > of the earth <0776 >erets > ?

 : 22  [ It is ]  he that sitteth <3427 yashab > upon the circle <2329 chuwg > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof  [ are ]  as grasshoppers <2284 chagab > ;  that stretcheth <5186 natah > out the heavens <8064 shamayim > as a curtain <1852 doq > ,  and spreadeth <4969 mathach > them out as a tent <0168 >ohel > to dwell <3427 yashab > in :

 : 23 That bringeth <5414 nathan > the princes <7336 razan > to nothing ;  he maketh <6213 <asah > the judges <8199 shaphat > of the earth <0776 >erets > as vanity <8414 tohuw > .

 : 24 Yea <0637 >aph > ,  they shall not be planted <5193 nata< > ;  yea <0637 >aph > ,  they shall not be sown <2232 zara< > : yea <0637 >aph > ,  their stock <1503 geza> > shall not take <3947 laqach > root <8327 sharash > in the earth <0776 >erets > : and he shall also <1571 gam > blow <5398 nashaph > upon them ,  and they shall wither <3001 yabesh > ,  and the whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > shall take <5375 nasa> > them away as stubble <7179 qash > .

 : 25 To whom <4310 miy > then will ye liken <1819 damah > me ,  or shall I be equal <7737 shavah > ?  saith <0559 >amar > the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One .

 : 26 Lift <5375 nasa> > up your eyes <5869 <ayin > on high <4791 marowm > ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > who <4310 miy > hath created <1254 bara> > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ,  that bringeth <3318 yatsa> > out their host <6635 tsaba> > by number <4557 micpar > : he calleth <7121 qara> > them all <3605 kol > by names <8034 shem > by the greatness <7230 rob > of his might <0202 >own > ,  for that  [ he is ]  strong <0533 >ammiyts > in power <3581 koach > ;  not one <0376 >iysh > faileth <5737 <adar > .

 : 27 .  Why <4100 mah > sayest <0559 >amar > thou ,  O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and speakest <1696 dabar > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  My way <1870 derek > is hid <5641 cathar > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and my judgment <4941 mishpat > is passed <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > from my God <0430 >elohiym > ?

 : 28 Hast thou not known <3045 yada< > ?  hast thou not heard <8085 shama< > ,   [ that ]  the everlasting <5769 <owlam > God <0430 >elohiym > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the Creator <1254 bara> > of the ends <7098 qatsah > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  fainteth <3286 ya<aph > not ,  neither <3808 lo> > is weary <3021 yaga< > ?   [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > searching <2714 cheqer > of his understanding <8394 tabuwn > .

 : 29 He giveth <5414 nathan > power <3581 koach > to the faint <3287 ya<@ph > ;  and to  [ them that have ]  no <0369 >ayin > might <0202 >own > he increaseth <7235 rabah > strength <6109 <otsmah > .

 : 30 Even the youths <5288 na<ar > shall faint <3286 ya<aph > and be weary <3021 yaga< > ,  and the young men shall utterly fall <3782 kashal > :

 : 31 But they that wait <6960 qavah > upon the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall renew <2498 chalaph >  [ their ]  strength <3581 koach > ;  they shall mount <5927 <alah > up with wings <83> as eagles <5404 nesher > ;  they shall run <7323 ruwts > ,  and not be weary <3021 yaga< > ;   [ and ]  they shall walk <3212 yalak > ,  and not faint <3286 ya<aph > .

 : Isaiah 41

 : 1 .  Keep silence <2790 charash > before <0413 >el > me ,  O islands <0339 >iy > ;  and let the people <3816 l@om > renew <2498 chalaph >  [ their ]  strength <3581 koach > : let them come <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > ;  then <0227 >az > let them speak <1696 dabar > : let us come <7126 qarab > near <7126 qarab > together <3162 yachad > to judgment <4941 mishpat > .

 : 2 Who <4310 miy > raised <5782 <uwr > up the righteous <6664 tsedeq >  [ man ]  from the east <4217 mizrach > ,  called <7121 qara> > him to his foot <7272 regel > ,  gave <5414 nathan > the nations <1471 gowy > before <6440 paniym > him ,  and made  [ him ]  rule <7287 radah > over kings <4428 melek > ?  he gave <5414 nathan >  [ them ]  as the dust <6083 <aphar > to his sword <2719 chereb > ,   [ and ]  as driven <5086 nadaph > stubble <7179 qash > to his bow <7198 qesheth > .

 : 3 He pursued <7291 radaph > them ,   [ and ]  passed <5674 <abar > safely <7965 shalowm > ;   [ even ]  by the way <0734 >orach >  [ that ]  he had not gone <0935 bow> > with his feet <7272 regel > .

 : 4 Who <4310 miy > hath wrought <6466 pa<al > and done <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  ,  calling <7121 qara> > the generations <1755 dowr > from the beginning <7218 ro>sh > ?  I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the first <7223 ri>shown > ,  and with the last <0314 >acharown > ;  I  [ am ]  he .

 : 5 The isles <0339 >iy > saw <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  ,  and feared <3372 yare> > ;  the ends <7098 qatsah > of the earth <0776 >erets > were afraid <2729 charad > ,  drew near <7126 qarab > ,  and came <0857 >athah > .

 : 6 They helped <5826 <azar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his neighbour <7453 rea< > ;  and  [ every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > ]  said <0559 >amar > to his brother <0251 >ach > ,  Be of good <1390 Gib<ah > courage <2388 chazaq > .

 : 7 So the carpenter <2796 charash > encouraged <2388 chazaq > the goldsmith <6884 tsaraph > ,   [ and ]  he that smootheth <2505 chalaq >  [ with ]  the hammer <6360 pattiysh > him that smote <1986 halam > the anvil <6471 pa<am > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  It  [ is ]  ready <2896 towb > for the sodering <1694 debeq > : and he fastened <2388 chazaq > it with nails <4548 macmer > ,   [ that ]  it should not be moved <4131 mowt > .

 : 8 But thou ,  Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,   [ art ]  my servant <5650 <ebed > ,  Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > whom <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > ,  the seed <2233 zera< > of Abraham <85> my friend <0157 >ahab > .

 : 9  [ Thou ]  whom <0834 >aher > I have taken <2388 chazaq > from the ends <7098 qatsah > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and called <7121 qara> > thee from the chief <0678 >atsiyl > men thereof ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto thee ,  Thou  [ art ]  my servant <5650 <ebed > ;  I have chosen <0977 bachar > thee ,  and not cast <3988 ma>ac > thee away .

 : 10 .  Fear <3372 yare> > thou not ;  for I  [ am ]  with thee : be not dismayed <8159 sha<ah > ;  for I  [ am ]  thy God <0430 >elohiym > : I will strengthen <0553 >amats > thee ;  yea <0637 >aph > ,  I will help <5826 <azar > thee ;  yea <0637 >aph > ,  I will uphold <8551 tamak > thee with the right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > of my righteousness <6664 tsedeq > .

 : 11 Behold <2005 hen > ,  all <3605 kol > they that were incensed <2734 charah > against thee shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded <3637 kalam > : they shall be as nothing <0369 >ayin > ;  and they that strive <7379 riyb > with thee shall perish <6> .

 : 12 Thou shalt seek <1245 baqash > them ,  and shalt not find <4672 matsa> > them ,   [ even ]  them that contended <4695 matstsuwth > with thee : they that war <4421 milchamah > against thee shall be as nothing <0369 >ayin > ,  and as a thing of nought <0657 >ephec > .

 : 13 For I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > will hold <2388 chazaq > thy right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > ,  saying <0559 >amar > unto thee ,  Fear <3372 yare> > not ;  I will help <5826 <azar > thee .

 : 14 Fear <3372 yare> > not ,  thou worm <8438 towla< > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,   [ and ]  ye men <4962 math > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  I will help <5826 <azar > thee ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and thy redeemer <1350 ga>al > ,  the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 15 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I will make <7760 suwm > thee a new <2319 chadash > sharp <2742 charuwts > threshing <4173 mowrag > instrument having <1167 ba<al > teeth <6374 piyphiyah > : thou shalt thresh <1758 duwsh > the mountains <2022 har > ,  and beat <1854 daqaq >  [ them ]  small <1854 daqaq > ,  and shalt make <7760 suwm > the hills <1389 gib<ah > as chaff <4671 mots > .

 : 16 Thou shalt fan <2219 zarah > them ,  and the wind <7307 ruwach > shall carry <5375 nasa> > them away ,  and the whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > shall scatter <6327 puwts > them : and thou shalt rejoice <1523 giyl > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and ]  shalt glory <1984 halal > in the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 17  [ When ]  the poor <6041 <aniy > and needy <34> seek <1245 baqash > water <4325 mayim > ,  and  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > ,   [ and ]  their tongue <3956 lashown > faileth <5405 nashath > for thirst <6772 tsama> > ,  I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will hear <6030 <anah > them ,  I the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > will not forsake <5800 <azab > them .

 : 18 I will open <6605 pathach > rivers <5103 n@har > in high <8203 Sh@phatyah > places ,  and fountains <4599 ma<yan > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the valleys <1237 biq<ah > : I will make <7760 suwm > the wilderness <4057 midbar > a pool <98> of water <4325 mayim > ,  and the dry <6723 tsiyah > land <0776 >erets > springs <4161 mowtsa> > of water <4325 mayim > .

 : 19 I will plant <5414 nathan > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > the cedar <0730 >erez > ,  the shittah <7848 shittah > tree <6086 <ets > ,  and the myrtle <1918 hadac > ,  and the oil <8081 shemen > tree <6086 <ets > ;  I will set <7760 suwm > in the desert <6160 <arabah > the fir <1265 b@rowsh > tree ,   [ and ]  the pine <8410 tidhar > ,  and the box <8391 t@>ashshuwr > tree together <3162 yachad > :

 : 20 That they may see <7200 ra>ah > ,  and know <3045 yada< > ,  and consider <7760 suwm > ,  and understand <7919 sakal > together <3162 yachad > ,  that the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath done <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > ,  and the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath created <1254 bara> > it .

 : 21 .  Produce <7126 qarab > your cause <7379 riyb > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  bring <5066 nagash > forth <5066 nagash > your strong <6110 <atstsumah >  [ reasons ]  ,  saith <0559 >amar > the King <4428 melek > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > .

 : 22 Let them bring <5066 nagash >  [ them ]  forth <5066 nagash > ,  and shew <5046 nagad > us what shall happen <7136 qarah > : let them shew <5046 nagad > the former <7223 ri>shown > things ,  what <4100 mah > they  [ be ]  ,  that we may consider them ,  and know <3045 yada< > the latter <0319 >achariyth > end of them ;  or declare <8085 shama< > us things for to come <0935 bow> > .

 : 23 Shew <5046 nagad > the things that are to come <0857 >athah > hereafter <0268 >achowr > ,  that we may know <3045 yada< > that ye  [ are ]  gods <0430 >elohiym > : yea <0637 >aph > ,  do good <1319 basar > ,  or do evil <7489 ra<a< > ,  that we may be dismayed <8159 sha<ah > ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  together <3162 yachad > .

 : 24 Behold <2005 hen > ,  ye  [ are ]  of nothing <0369 >ayin > ,  and your work <6467 po<al > of nought <0659 >epha< > : an abomination <8441 tow<ebah >  [ is he that ]  chooseth <0977 bachar > you .

 : 25 I have raised <5782 <uwr > up  [ one ]  from the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  and he shall come <0857 >athah > : from the rising <4217 mizrach > of the sun <8121 shemesh > shall he call <7121 qara> > upon my name <8034 shem > : and he shall come <0935 bow> > upon princes <5461 cagan > as  [ upon ]  morter <2563 chomer > ,  and as the potter <3335 yatsar > treadeth <7429 ramac > clay <2916 tiyt > .

 : 26 Who <4310 miy > hath declared <5046 nagad > from the beginning <7218 ro>sh > ,  that we may know <3045 yada< > ?  and beforetime <6440 paniym > ,  that we may say <0559 >amar > ,   [ He is ]  righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > ?  yea <0637 >aph > ,   [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > that sheweth <5046 nagad > ,  yea <0637 >aph > ,   [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > that declareth <5046 nagad > ,  yea <0637 >aph > ,   [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > that heareth <8085 shama< > your words <0561 >emer > .

 : 27 The first <7223 ri>shown >  [ shall say ]  to Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > them : and I will give <5414 nathan > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > one that bringeth <1319 basar > good <1319 basar > tidings <1319 basar > .

 : 28 For I beheld <7200 ra>ah > ,  and  [ there was ]  no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > ;  even among them ,  and  [ there was ]  no <0369 >ayin > counsellor <3289 ya<ats > ,  that ,  when I asked <7592 sha>al > of them ,  could answer <7725 shuwb > a word <1697 dabar > .

 : 29 Behold <2005 hen > ,  they  [ are ]  all <3605 kol > vanity <0205 >aven > ;  their works <4639 ma<aseh >  [ are ]  nothing <0657 >ephec > : their molten <5262 necek > images  [ are ]  wind <7307 ruwach > and confusion <5414 nathan > .

 : Isaiah 42

 : 1 .  Behold <2005 hen > my servant <5650 <ebed > ,  whom I uphold <8551 tamak > ;  mine elect <0972 bachiyr > ,   [ in whom ]  my soul <5315 nephesh > delighteth <7521 ratsah > ;  I have put <5414 nathan > my spirit <7307 ruwach > upon him : he shall bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > judgment <4941 mishpat > to the Gentiles <1471 gowy > .

 : 2 He shall not cry <6817 tsa<aq > ,  nor <3808 lo> > lift <5375 nasa> > up ,  nor <3808 lo> > cause his voice <6963 qowl > to be heard <8085 shama< > in the street <2351 chuwts > .

 : 3 A bruised <7533 ratsats > reed <7070 qaneh > shall he not break <7665 shabar > ,  and the smoking <3544 keheh > flax <6594 pishtah > shall he not quench <3518 kabah > : he shall bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > judgment <4941 mishpat > unto truth <0571 >emeth > .

 : 4 He shall not fail <3543 kahah > nor <3808 lo> > be discouraged <7533 ratsats > ,  till <5704 <ad > he have set <7760 suwm > judgment <4941 mishpat > in the earth <0776 >erets > : and the isles <0339 >iy > shall wait <3176 yachal > for his law <8451 towrah > .

 : 5 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > God <0410 >el > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  he that created <1254 bara> > the heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  and stretched <5186 natah > them out ;  he that spread <7554 raqa< > forth the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and that which cometh <6631 tse>etsa> > out of it ;  he that giveth <5414 nathan > breath <5397 n@shamah > unto the people <5971 <am > upon it ,  and spirit <7307 ruwach > to them that walk <1980 halak > therein :

 : 6 I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have called <7121 qara> > thee in righteousness<6664 tsedeq > ,  and will hold <2388 chazaq > thine hand <3027 yad > ,  and will keep <5341 natsar > thee ,  and give <5414 nathan > thee for a covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the people <5971 <am > ,  for a light <0216 >owr > of the Gentiles <1471 gowy > ;

 : 7 To open <6491 paqach > the blind <5787 <ivver > eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  to bring <3318 yatsa> > out the prisoners <0616 >acciyr > from the prison <4525 macger > ,   [ and ]  them that sit <3427 yashab > in darkness <2822 choshek > out of the prison <3608 kele> > house <1004 bayith > .

 : 8 I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : that  [ is ]  my name <8034 shem > : and my glory <3519 kabowd > will I not give <5414 nathan > to another <0312 >acher > ,  neither my praise <8416 t@hillah > to graven <6456 p@ciyl > images .

 : 9 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the former <7223 ri>shown > things are come <0935 bow> > to pass ,  and new <2319 chadash > things do I declare <5046 nagad > : before <2962 terem > they spring <6779 tsamach > forth I tell <8085 shama< > you of them .

 : 10 Sing <7891 shiyr > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > a new <2319 chadash > song <7892 shiyr > ,   [ and ]  his praise <8416 t@hillah > from the end <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  ye that go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the sea <3220 yam > ,  and all <4393 m@lo> > that is therein <4393 m@lo> > ;  the isles <0339 >iy > ,  and the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof .

 : 11 Let the wilderness <4057 midbar > and the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof lift <5375 nasa> > up  [ their voice ]  ,  the villages <2691 chatser >  [ that ]  Kedar <6938 Qedar > doth inhabit <3427 yashab > : let the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the rock <5553 cela< > sing <7442 ranan > ,  let them shout <6681 tsavach > from the top <7218 ro>sh > of the mountains <2022 har > .

 : 12 Let them give <7760 suwm > glory <3519 kabowd > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and declare <5046 nagad > his praise <8416 t@hillah > in the islands <0339 >iy > .

 : 13 .  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > as a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376 >iysh > ,  he shall stir <5782 <uwr > up jealousy <7068 qin>ah > like a man <0376 >iysh > of war <4421 milchamah > : he shall cry <7321 ruwa< > ,  yea <0637 >aph > ,  roar <6873 tsarach > ;  he shall prevail <1396 gabar > against <5921 <al > his enemies <0341 >oyeb > .

 : 14 I have long <5769 <owlam > time holden <2814 chashah > my peace <7814 s@chowq > ;  I have been <1961 hayah > still <2790 charash > ,   [ and ]  refrained <0662 >aphaq > myself :  [ now ]  will I cry <6463 pa<ah > like a travailing <3205 yalad > woman ;  I will destroy <5395 nasham > and devour <7602 sha>aph > at <3162 yachad > once <3162 yachad > .

 : 15 I will make <7760 suwm > waste <2717 charab > mountains <2022 har > and hills <1389 gib<ah > ,  and dry <3001 yabesh > up all <3605 kol > their herbs <6212 <eseb > ;  and I will make <7760 suwm > the rivers <5103 n@har > islands <0339 >iy > ,  and I will dry <3001 yabesh > up the pools <98> .

 : 16 And I will bring <3212 yalak > the blind <5787 <ivver > by a way <1870 derek >  [ that ]  they knew <3045 yada< > not ;  I will lead <1869 darak > them in paths <5410 nathiyb >  [ that ]  they have not known <3045 yada< > : I will make <7760 suwm > darkness <4285 machshak > light <0216 >owr > before <6440 paniym > them ,  and crooked <4625 ma<aqash > things straight <4334 miyshowr > .  These <0428 >el - leh > things <1697 dabar > will I do <6213 <asah > unto them ,  and not forsake <5800 <azab > them .

 : 17 They shall be turned <5472 cuwg > back <0268 >achowr > ,  they shall be greatly ashamed <0954 buwsh > ,  that trust <0982 batach > in graven <6459 pecel > images ,  that say <0559 >amar > to the molten <4541 maccekah > images ,  Ye  [ are ]  our gods <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 18 .  Hear <8085 shama< > ,  ye deaf <2795 cheresh > ;  and look <5027 nabat > ,  ye blind <5787 <ivver > ,  that ye may see <7200 ra>ah > .

 : 19 Who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  blind <5787 <ivver > ,  but my servant <5650 <ebed > ?  or deaf <2795 cheresh > ,  as my messenger <4397 mal>ak >  [ that ]  I sent <7971 shalach > ?  who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  blind <5787 <ivver > as  [ he that is ]  perfect <7999 shalam > ,  and blind <5787 <ivver > as the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > servant <5650 <ebed > ?

 : 20 Seeing <7200 ra>ah > many <7227 rab > things ,  but thou observest <8104 shamar > not ;  opening <6491 paqach > the ears <0241 >ozen > ,  but he heareth <8085 shama< > not .

 : 21 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is well <2654 chaphets > pleased <2654 chaphets > for his righteousness <6664 tsedeq >  sake <4616 ma<an > ;  he will magnify <1431 gadal > the law <8451 towrah > ,  and make  [ it ]  honourable <0142 >adar > .

 : 22 But this <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  a people <5971 <am > robbed <0962 bazaz > andspoiled <8154 shacah > ;   [ they are ]  all <3605 kol > of them snared <6351 pachach > in holes <2356 chowr > ,  and they are hid <2244> in prison <3608 kele> > houses <1004 bayith > : they are for a prey <0957 baz > ,  and none <0369 >ayin > delivereth <5337 natsal > ;  for a spoil <4933 m@chiccah > ,  and none <0369 >ayin > saith <0559 >amar > ,  Restore <7725 shuwb > .

 : 23 Who <4310 miy > among you will give ear <0238 >azan > to this <2063 zo>th > ?   [ who ]  will hearken <7181 qashab > and hear <8085 shama< > for the time <0268 >achowr > to come ?

 : 24 Who <4310 miy > gave <5414 nathan > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > for a spoil <4882 m@shuwcah > ,  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to the robbers <0962 bazaz > ?  did not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  he against whom <2098 zuw > we have sinned <2398 chata> > ?  for they would <14> not walk <1980 halak > in his ways <1870 derek > ,  neither <3808 lo> > were they obedient <8085 shama< > unto his law <8451 towrah > .

 : 25 Therefore he hath poured <8210 shaphak > upon him the fury <2534 chemah > of his anger <0639 >aph > ,  and the strength <5807 <ezuwz > of battle <4421 milchamah > : and it hath set <7760 suwm > him on fire <3857 lahat > round <5439 cabiyb > about ,  yet he knew <3045 yada< > not ;  and it burned <1197 ba<ar > him ,  yet he laid <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  not to heart <3820 leb > .

 : Isaiah 43

 : 1 .  But now <6258 <attah > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that created <1254 bara> > thee ,  O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and he that formed <3335 yatsar > thee ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  Fear <3372 yare> > not : for I have redeemed <1350 ga>al > thee ,  I have called <7121 qara> >  [ thee ]  by thy name <8034 shem > ;  thou  [ art ]  mine .

 : 2 When <3588 kiy > thou passest <5674 <abar > through the waters <4325 mayim > ,  I  [ will be ]  with thee ;  and through the rivers <5103 n@har > ,  they shall not overflow <7857 shataph > thee : when <3588 kiy > thou walkest <3212 yalak > through <1119 b@mow > the fire <0784 >esh > ,  thou shalt not be burned <3554 kavah > ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall the flame <3852 lehabah > kindle <1197 ba<ar > upon thee .

 : 3 For I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  thy Saviour <3467 yasha< > : I gave <5414 nathan > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >  [ for ]  thy ransom <3724 kopher > ,  Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh > and Seba <5434 C@ba> > for thee .

 : 4 Since thou wast precious <3365 yaqar > in my sight <5869 <ayin > ,  thou hast been honourable <3513 kabad > ,  and I have loved <0157 >ahab > thee : therefore will I give <5414 nathan > men <0120 >adam > for thee ,  and people <3816 l@om > for thy life <5315 nephesh > .

 : 5 Fear <3372 yare> > not : for I  [ am ]  with thee : I will bring <0935 bow> > thy seed <2233 zera< > from the east <4217 mizrach > ,  and gather <6908 qabats > thee from the west <4628 ma<arab > ;

 : 6 I will say <0559 >amar > to the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  Give <5414 nathan > up ;  and to the south <8486 teyman > ,  Keep <3607 kala> > not back <3607 kala> > : bring <0935 bow> > my sons <1121 ben > from far <7350 rachowq > ,  and my daughters <1121 ben > from the ends <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets > ;

 : 7  [ Even ]  every <3605 kol > one that is called <7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem > : for I have created <1254 bara> > him for my glory <3519 kabowd > ,  I have formed <3335 yatsar > him ;  yea <0637 >aph > ,  I have made <6213 <asah > him .

 : 8 .  Bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > the blind <5787 <ivver > people <5971 <am > that have <3426 yesh > eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and the deaf <2795 cheresh > that have ears <0241 >ozen > .

 : 9 Let all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > be gathered <6908 qabats > together <3162 yachad > ,  and let the people <3816 l@om > be assembled : who <4310 miy > among them can declare <5046 nagad > this <2063 zo>th > ,  and shew <8085 shama< > us former <7223 ri>shown > things ?  let them bring <5414 nathan > forth their witnesses <5707 <ed > ,  that they may be justified <6663 tsadaq > : or let them hear <8085 shama< > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,   [ It is ]  truth <0571 >emeth > .

 : 10 Ye  [ are ]  my witnesses <5707 <ed > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and my servant <5650 <ebed > whom <0834 >aher > I have chosen <0977 bachar > : that ye may know <3045 yada< > and believe <0539 >aman > me ,  and understand <0995 biyn > that I  [ am ]  he : before <6440 paniym > me there was no <3808 lo> > God <0410 >el > formed <3335 yatsar > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall there be after <0310 >achar > me .

 : 11 I ,   [ even ]  I ,   [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and beside <1107 bil<adey > me  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > saviour <3467 yasha< > .

 : 12 I have declared <5046 nagad > ,  and have saved <3467 yasha< > ,  and I have shewed <8085 shama< > ,  when  [ there was ]  no <0369 >ayin > strange <2114 zuwr >  [ god ]  among you : therefore ye  [ are ]  my witnesses <5707 <ed > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that I  [ am ]  God <0410 >el > .

 : 13 Yea <1571 gam > ,  before the day <3117 yowm >  [ was ]  I  [ am ]  he ;  and  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > that can deliver <5337 natsal > out of my hand <3027 yad > : I will work <6466 pa<al > ,  and who <4310 miy > shall let <7725 shuwb > it ?

 : 14 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  your redeemer <1350 ga>al > ,  the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  For your sake <4616 ma<an > I have sent <7971 shalach > to Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  and have brought <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > all <3605 kol > their nobles <1281 bariyach > ,  and the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > ,  whose cry <7440 rinnah >  [ is ]  in the ships <0591 >oniyah > .

 : 15 I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  your Holy <6918 qadowsh > One ,  the creator <1254 bara> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  your King <4428 melek > .

 : 16 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which maketh <5414 nathan > a way <1870 derek > in the sea <3220 yam > ,  and a path <5410 nathiyb > in the mighty <5794 <az > waters <4325 mayim > ;

 : 17 Which bringeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > the chariot <7393 rekeb > and horse <5483 cuwc > ,  the army <2428 chayil > and the power <5808 <izzuwz > ;  they shall lie <7901 shakab > down <3381 yarad > together <3162 yachad > ,  they shall not rise <6965 quwm > : they are extinct <1846 da<ak > ,  they are quenched <3518 kabah > as tow <6594 pishtah > .

 : 18 Remember <2142 zakar > ye not the former <7223 ri>shown > things ,  neither <0408 >al > consider <0995 biyn > the things of old <6931 qadmowniy > .

 : 19 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will do <6213 <asah > a new <2319 chadash > thing ;  now <6258 <attah > it shall spring <6779 tsamach > forth <6779 tsamach > ;  shall ye not know <3045 yada< > it ?  I will even <0637 >aph > make <7760 suwm > a way <1870 derek > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,   [ and ]  rivers <5103 n@har > in the desert <3452 y@shiymown > .

 : 20 The beast <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > shall honour <3513 kabad > me ,  the dragons <8577 tanniyn > and the owls : because <3588 kiy > I give <5414 nathan > waters <4325 mayim > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,   [ and ]  rivers <5103 n@har > in the desert <3452 y@shiymown > ,  to give drink <8248 shaqah > to my people <5971 <am > ,  my chosen <0972 bachiyr > .

 : 21 This <2098 zuw > people <5971 <am > have I formed <3335 yatsar > for myself ;  they shall shew <5608 caphar > forth my praise <8416 t@hillah > .

 : 22 .  But thou hast not called <7121 qara> > upon me ,  O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ;  but thou hast been weary <3021 yaga< > of me ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 23 Thou hast not brought <0935 bow> > me the small cattle <7716 seh > of thy burnt <5930 <olah > offerings ;  neither <3808 lo> > hast thou honoured <3513 kabad > me with thy sacrifices <2077 zebach > .  I have not caused thee to serve <5647 <abad > with an offering <4503 minchah > ,  nor <3808 lo> > wearied <3021 yaga< > thee with incense <3828 l@bownah > .

 : 24 Thou hast bought <7069 qanah > me no <3808 lo> > sweet cane <7070 qaneh > with money <3701 keceph > ,  neither <3808 lo> > hast thou filled <7301 ravah > me with the fat <2459 cheleb > of thy sacrifices <2077 zebach > : but thou hast made me to serve <5647 <abad > with thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > ,  thou hast wearied <3021 yaga< > me with thine iniquities <5771 <avon > .

 : 25 I ,   [ even ]  I ,   [ am ]  he that blotteth <4229 machah > out thy transgressions <6588 pesha< > for mine own sake <4616 ma<an > ,  and will not remember <2142 zakar > thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > .

 : 26 Put me in remembrance <2142 zakar > : let us plead <8199 shaphat > together <3162 yachad > : declare <5608 caphar > thou ,  that thou mayest be justified <6663 tsadaq > .

 : 27 Thy first <7223 ri>shown > father <1> hath sinned <2398 chata> > ,  and thy teachers <3887 luwts > have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me .

 : 28 Therefore I have profaned <2490 chalal > the princes <8269 sar > of the sanctuary <6944 qodesh > ,  and have given <5414 nathan > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > to the curse <2764 cherem > ,  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to reproaches <1421 gidduwph > .

 : Isaiah 44

 : 1 .  Yet now <6258 <attah > hear <8085 shama< > ,  O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > my servant <5650 <ebed > ;  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  whom I have chosen <0977 bachar > :

 : 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that made <6213 <asah > thee ,  and formed <3335 yatsar > thee from the womb <0990 beten > ,   [ which ]  will help <5826 <azar > thee ;  Fear <3372 yare> > not ,  O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  my servant <5650 <ebed > ;  and thou ,  Jesurun <3484 Y@shuruwn > ,  whom I have chosen <0977 bachar > .

 : 3 For I will pour <3332 yatsaq > water <4325 mayim > upon him that is thirsty <6771 tsame> > ,  and floods <5140 nazal > upon the dry <3004 yabbashah > ground : I will pour <3332 yatsaq > my spirit <7307 ruwach > upon thy seed <2233 zera< > ,  and my blessing <1293 B@rakah > upon thine offspring <6631 tse>etsa> > :

 : 4 And they shall spring <6779 tsamach > up  [ as ]  among <0996 beyn > the grass <2682 chatsiyr > ,  as willows <6155 <arab > by the water <4325 mayim > courses <2988 yabal > .

 : 5 One shall say <0559 >amar > ,  I  [ am ]  the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and another <2088 zeh > shall call <7121 qara> >  [ himself ]  by the name <8034 shem > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ;  and another <2088 zeh > shall subscribe <3789 kathab >  [ with ]  his hand <3027 yad > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and surname <3655 kanah >  [ himself ]  by the name <8034 shem > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 6 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > the King <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and his redeemer <1350 ga>al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ;  I  [ am ]  the first <7223 ri>shown > ,  and I  [ am ]  the last <0314 >acharown > ;  and beside <1107 bil<adey > me  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 7 And who <4310 miy > ,  as I ,  shall call <7121 qara> > ,  and shall declare <5046 nagad > it ,  and set it in order <6186 <arak > for me ,  since I appointed <7760 suwm > the ancient <5769 <owlam > people <5971 <am > ?  and the things that are coming <0857 >athah > ,  and shall come <0935 bow> > ,  let them shew <5046 nagad > unto them .

 : 8 Fear <6342 pachad > ye not ,  neither <0408 >al > be afraid <7297 rahah > : have not I told <8085 shama< > thee from that time <0227 >az > ,  and have declared <5046 nagad >  [ it ]  ?  ye  [ are ]  even my witnesses <5707 <ed > .  Is there a God <0433 >elowahh > beside <1107 bil<adey > me ?  yea ,   [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > God <6697 tsuwr > ;  I know <3045 yada< > not  [ any ]  .

 : 9 .  They that make <3335 yatsar > a graven <6459 pecel > image  [ are ]  all <3605 kol > of them vanity <8414 tohuw > ;  and their delectable <2530 chamad > things shall not profit <3276 ya<al > ;  and they  [ are ]  their own witnesses <5707 <ed > ;  they see <7200 ra>ah > not ,  nor <1077 bal > know <3045 yada< > ;  that they may be ashamed <0954 buwsh > .

 : 10 Who <4310 miy > hath formed <3335 yatsar > a god <0410 >el > ,  or molten <5258 nacak > a graven <6459 pecel > image  [ that ]  is profitable <3276 ya<al > for nothing <1115 biltiy > ?

 : 11 Behold <2005 hen > ,  all <3605 kol > his fellows <2270 chaber > shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > : and the workmen <2796 charash > ,  they  [ are ]  of men <0120 >adam > : let them all <3605 kol > be gathered <6908 qabats > together ,  let them stand <5975 <amad > up ;   [ yet ]  they shall fear <6342 pachad > ,   [ and ]  they shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > together <3162 yachad > .

 : 12 The smith with the tongs <4621 ma<atsad > both worketh <6466 pa<al > in the coals <6352 pecham > ,  and fashioneth <3335 yatsar > it with hammers <4717 maqqabah > ,  and worketh <6466 pa<al > it with the strength <3581 koach > of his arms <2220 z@rowa< > : yea <1571 gam > ,  he is hungry <7456 ra<eb > ,  and his strength <3581 koach > faileth <0369 >ayin > : he drinketh <8354 shathah > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim > ,  and is faint <3286 ya<aph > .

 : 13 The carpenter <2796 charash > stretcheth <5186 natah > out  [ his ]  rule <4910 mashal > ;  he marketh <8388 ta>ar > it out with a line <8279 sered > ;  he fitteth <6213 <asah > it with planes <4741 maqtsu<ah > ,  and he marketh <8388 ta>ar > it out with the compass <4230 m@chuwgah > ,  and maketh <6213 <asah > it after the figure <8403 tabniyth > of a man <0376 >iysh > ,  according to the beauty <8597 tiph>arah > of a man <0120 >adam > ;  that it may remain <3427 yashab > in the house <1004 bayith > .

 : 14 He heweth <3772 karath > him down cedars <0730 >erez > ,  and taketh <3947 laqach > the cypress <8645 tirzah > and the oak <0437 >allown > ,  which he strengtheneth <0553 >amats > for himself among the trees <6086 <ets > of the forest <3293 ya<ar > : he planteth <5192 netel > an ash <0766 >oren > ,  and the rain <1653 geshem > doth nourish <1431 gadal >  [ it ]  .

 : 15 Then shall it be for a man <0120 >adam > to burn <1197 ba<ar > : for he will take <3947 laqach > thereof ,  and warm <2552 chamam > himself ;  yea <0637 >aph > ,  he kindleth <5400 nasaq >  [ it ]  ,  and baketh <0644 >aphah > bread <3899 lechem > ;  yea <0637 >aph > ,  he maketh <6466 pa<al > a god <0410 >el > ,  and worshippeth <7812 shachah >  [ it ]  ;  he maketh <6213 <asah > it a graven <6459 pecel > image ,  and falleth <5456 cagad > down <5456 cagad > thereto .

 : 16 He burneth <8313 saraph > part <2677 chetsiy > thereof in the fire <0784 >esh > ;  with part <2677 chetsiy > thereof he eateth <0398 >akal > flesh <1320 basar > ;  he roasteth <0740 >Ari>el > roast <6748 tsaliy > ,  and is satisfied <7646 saba< > : yea <0637 >aph > ,  he warmeth <2552 chamam >  [ himself ]  ,  and saith <0559 >amar > ,  Aha <0253 >ach > ,  I am warm <2552 chamam > ,  I have seen <7200 ra>ah > the fire <0217 >uwr > :

 : 17 And the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > thereof he maketh <6213 <asah > a god <0410 >el > ,   [ even ]  his graven <6459 pecel > image : he falleth <5456 cagad > down <5456 cagad > unto it ,  and worshippeth <7812 shachah >  [ it ]  ,  and prayeth <6419 palal > unto it ,  and saith <0559 >amar > ,  Deliver <5337 natsal > me ;  for thou  [ art ]  my god <0410 >el > .

 : 18 They have not known <3045 yada< > nor understood <0995 biyn > : for he hath shut <2902 tuwach > their eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  that they cannot see <7200 ra>ah > ;   [ and ]  their hearts <3826 libbah > ,  that they cannot understand <7919 sakal > .

 : 19 And none <3808 lo> > considereth <7725 shuwb > in his heart <3820 leb > ,  neither <3808 lo> >  [ is there ]  knowledge <1847 da<ath > nor <3808 lo> > understanding <8394 tabuwn > to say <0559 >amar > ,  I have burned <8314 saraph > part <2677 chetsiy > of it in the fire <0784 >esh > ;  yea <0637 >aph > ,  also <0637 >aph > I have baked <0644 >aphah > bread <3899 lechem > upon the coals <1513 gechel > thereof ;  I have roasted <6740 tsalah > flesh <1320 basar > ,  and eaten <0398 >akal >  [ it ]  : and shall I make <6213 <asah > the residue <3499 yether > thereof an abomination <8441 tow<ebah > ?  shall I fall <5456 cagad > down <5456 cagad > to the stock <0944 buwl > of a tree <6086 <ets > ?

 : 20 He feedeth <7462 ra<ah > on ashes <0665 >epher > : a deceived <2048 hathal> heart <3820 leb > hath turned <5186 natah > him aside <5186 natah > ,  that he cannot <3808 lo> > deliver <5337 natsal > his soul <5315 nephesh > ,  nor <3808 lo> > say <0559 >amar > ,   [ Is there ]  not a lie <3576 kazab > in my right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > ?

 : 21 .  Remember <2142 zakar > these <0428 >el - leh > ,  O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  for thou  [ art ]  my servant <5650 <ebed > : I have formed <3335 yatsar > thee ;  thou  [ art ]  my servant <5650 <ebed > : O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  thou shalt not be forgotten <5382 nashah > of me .

 : 22 I have blotted <4229 machah > out ,  as a thick cloud <5645 <ab > ,  thy transgressions <6588 pesha< > ,  and ,  as a cloud <6051 <anan > ,  thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > : return <7725 shuwb > unto me ;  for I have redeemed <1350 ga>al > thee .

 : 23 Sing <7442 ranan > ,  O ye heavens <8064 shamayim > ;  for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath done <6213 <asah >  [ it ]  : shout <7321 ruwa< > ,  ye lower <8482 tachtiy > parts of the earth <0776 >erets > : break <6476 patsach > forth into singing <7440 rinnah > ,  ye mountains <2022 har > ,  O forest <3293 ya<ar > ,  and every <3605 kol > tree <6086 <ets > therein : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath redeemed <1350 ga>al > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and glorified <6286 pa>ar > himself in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 24 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thy redeemer <1350 ga>al > ,  and he that formed <3335 yatsar > thee from the womb <0990 beten > ,  I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that maketh <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol >  [ things ]  ;  that stretcheth <5186 natah > forth the heavens <8064 shamayim > alone <0905 bad > ;  that spreadeth <7554 raqa< > abroad <7554 raqa< > the earth <0776 >erets > by myself ;

 : 25 That frustrateth <6565 parar > the tokens <0226 >owth > of the liars <0907 bad > ,  and maketh diviners <7080 qacam > mad <1984 halal > ;  that turneth <7725 shuwb > wise <2450 chakam >  [ men ]  backward <0268 >achowr > ,  and maketh their knowledge <1847 da<ath > foolish <5528 cakal > ;

 : 26 That confirmeth <6965 quwm > the word <1697 dabar > of his servant <5650 <ebed > ,  and performeth <7999 shalam > the counsel <6098 <etsah > of his messengers <4397 mal>ak > ;  that saith <0559 >amar > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  Thou shalt be inhabited <3427 yashab > ;  and to the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  Ye shall be built <1129 banah > ,  and I will raise <6965 quwm > up the decayed <2723 chorbah > places thereof :

 : 27 That saith <0559 >amar > to the deep <6683 tsuwlah > ,  Be dry <2717 charab > ,  and I will dry <3001 yabesh > up thy rivers <5103 n@har > :

 : Isaiah 45

 : 1 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to his anointed <4899 mashiyach > ,  to Cyrus <3566 Kowresh > ,  whose <0834 >aher > right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > I have holden <2388 chazaq > ,  to subdue <7286 radad > nations <1471 gowy > before <6440 paniym > him ;  and I will loose <6605 pathach > the loins <4975 mothen > of kings <4428 melek > ,  to open <6605 pathach > before <6440 paniym > him the two leaved <1817 deleth > gates <1817 deleth > ;  and the gates <8179 sha<ar > shall not be shut <5462 cagar > ;

 : 2 I will go <3212 yalak > before <6440 paniym > thee ,  and make the crooked <1921 hadar > places straight <3474 yashar > : I will break <7665 shabar > in pieces the gates <1817 deleth > of brass <5154 n@chuwshah > ,  and cut <1438 gada< > in sunder the bars <1280 b@riyach > of iron <1270 barzel > :

 : 3 And I will give <5414 nathan > thee the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of darkness <2822 choshek > ,  and hidden <4301 matmown > riches <4301 matmown > of secret <4565 mictar > places ,  that thou mayest know <3045 yada< > that I ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which call <7121 qara> >  [ thee ]  by thy name <8034 shem > ,   [ am ]  the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 4 For Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > my servant s <5650 <ebed > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > mine elect <0972 bachiyr > ,  I have even called <7121 qara> > thee by thy name <8034 shem > : I have surnamed <3655 kanah > thee ,  though thou hast not known <3045 yada< > me .

 : 5 .  I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > else <5750 <owd > ,   [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > God <0430 >elohiym > beside <2108 zuwlah > me : I girded <0247 >azar > thee ,  though thou hast not known <3045 yada< > me :

 : 7 I form <3335 yatsar > the light <0216 >owr > ,  and create <1254 bara> > darkness <2822 choshek > : I make <6213 <asah > peace <7965 shalowm > ,  and create <1254 bara> > evil <7451 ra< > : I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > do <6213 <asah > all these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  .

 : 8 Drop <7491 ra<aph > down ,  ye heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  from above <4605 ma<al > ,  and let the skies <7834 shachaq > pour <5140 nazal > down righteousness <6664 tsedeq > : let the earth <0776 >erets > open <6605 pathach > ,  and let them bring <6509 parah > forth <6509 parah > salvation <3468 yesha< > ,  and let righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > spring <6779 tsamach > up together <3162 yachad > ;  I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > have created <1254 bara> > it .

 : 9 Woe <1945 howy > unto him that striveth <7378 riyb > with his Maker <3335 yatsar > !   [ Let ]  the potsherd <2789 cheres >  [ strive ]  with the potsherds <2789 cheres > of the earth <0127 >adamah > .  Shall the clay <2563 chomer > say <0559 >amar > to him that fashioneth <3335 yatsar > it ,  What <4100 mah > makest <6213 <asah > thou ?  or thy work <6467 po<al > ,  He hath no <0369 >ayin > hands <3027 yad > ?

 : 11 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and his Maker <3335 yatsar > ,  Ask <7592 sha>al > me of things to come <0857 >athah > concerning <5921 <al > my sons <1121 ben > ,  and concerning <5921 <al > the work <6467 po<al > of my hands <3027 yad > command <6680 tsavah > ye me .

 : 12 I have made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and created <1254 bara> > man <0120 >adam > upon it : I ,   [ even ]  my hands <3027 yad > ,  have stretched <5186 natah > out the heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  and all <3605 kol > their host <6635 tsaba> > have I commanded <6680 tsavah > .

 : 13 I have raised <5782 <uwr > him up in righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,  and I will direct <3474 yashar > all <3605 kol > his ways <1870 derek > : he shall build <1129 banah > my city <5892 <iyr > ,  and he shall let go <7971 shalach > my captives <1546 galuwth > ,  not for price <4242 m@chiyr > nor <3808 lo> > reward <7810 shachad > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > .

 : 1 .  Bel <1078 Bel > boweth <3766 kara< > down <3766 kara< > ,  Nebo <5015 N@bow > stoopeth <7164 qarac > ,  their idols <6091 <atsab > were upon the beasts <2416 chay > ,  and upon the cattle <0929 b@hemah > : your carriages <5385 n@suw>ah >  [ were ]  heavy loaden <6006 <amac > ;   [ they are ]  a burden <4853 massa> > to the weary <5889 <ayeph >  [ beast ]  .

 : 2 They stoop <7164 qarac > ,  they bow <3766 kara< > down <3766 kara< > together <3162 yachad > ;  they could <3201 yakol > not deliver <4422 malat > the burden <4853 massa> > ,  but themselves <5315 nephesh > are gone <1980 halak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy > .

 : 3 Hearken <8085 shama< > unto me ,  O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and all <3605 kol > the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  which are borne <6006 <amac >  [ by me ]  from the belly <0990 beten > ,  which are carried <5375 nasa> > from the womb <7356 racham > :

 : 4 And  [ even ]  to  [ your ]  old <2209 ziqnah > age <2209 ziqnah > I  [ am ]  he ;  and  [ even ]  to hoar <7872 seybah > hairs will I carry <5445 cabal >  [ you ]  : I have made <6213 <asah > ,  and I will bear <5375 nasa> > ;  even I will carry <5445 cabal > ,  and will deliver <4422 malat >  [ you ]  .

 : 5 .  To whom <4310 miy > will ye liken <1819 damah > me ,  and make  [ me ]  equal <7737 shavah > ,  and compare <4911 mashal > me ,  that we may be like <1819 damah > ?

 : 6 They lavish <2107 zuwl > gold <2091 zahab > out of the bag <3599 kiyc > ,  and weigh <8254 shaqal > silver <3701 keceph > in the balance <7070 qaneh > ,   [ and ]  hire <7936 sakar > a goldsmith <6884 tsaraph > ;  and he maketh <6213 <asah > it a god <0410 >el > : they fall <5456 cagad > down <5456 cagad > ,  yea <0637 >aph > ,  they worship <7812 shachah > .

 : 7 They bear <5375 nasa> > him upon the shoulder <3802 katheph > ,  they carry <5445 cabal > him ,  and set <3240 yanach > him in his place <8478 tachath > ,  and he standeth <5975 <amad > ;  from his place <4725 maqowm > shall he not remove <4185 muwsh > : yea <0637 >aph > ,   [ one ]  shall cry <6817 tsa<aq > unto him ,  yet can he not answer <6030 <anah > ,  nor <3808 lo> > save <3467 yasha< > him out of his trouble <6869 tsarah > .

 : 8 Remember <2142 zakar > this <2063 zo>th > ,  and shew yourselves men <0376 >iysh > : bring <7725 shuwb >  [ it ]  again <7725 shuwb > to mind <3820 leb > ,  O ye transgressors <6586 pasha< > .

 : 9 Remember <2142 zakar > the former <7223 ri>shown > things of old <5769 <owlam > : for I  [ am ]  God <0410 >el > ,  and  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > else <5750 <owd > ;   [ I am ]  God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and  [ there is ]  none <0657 >ephec > like <3644 k@mow > me ,

 : 10 Declaring <5046 nagad > the end <0319 >achariyth > from the beginning <7225 re>shiyth > ,  and from ancient <6924 qedem > times  [ the things ]  that are not  [ yet ]  done <6213 <asah > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  My counsel <6098 <etsah > shall stand <6965 quwm > ,  and I will do <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > my pleasure <2656 chephets > :

 : 11 Calling <7121 qara> > a ravenous <5861 <ayit > bird <5861 <ayit > from the east <4217 mizrach > ,  the man <0376 >iysh > that executeth my counsel <6098 <etsah > from a far <4801 merchaq > country <0776 >erets > : yea <0637 >aph > ,  I have spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  ,  I will also <0637 >aph > bring <0935 bow> > it to pass ;  I have purposed <3335 yatsar >  [ it ]  ,  I will also <0637 >aph > do <6213 <asah > it .

 : 12 Hearken <8085 shama< > unto me ,  ye stouthearted ,  that  [ are ]  far <7350 rachowq > from righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > :

 : 13 I bring <7126 qarab > near <7126 qarab > my righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ;  it shall not be far <7368 rachaq > off ,  and my salvation <8668 t@shuw<ah > shall not tarry <0309 >achar > : and I will place <5414 nathan > salvation <8668 t@shuw<ah > in Zion <6726 Tsiyown > for Israel <3478 Yisra>el > my glory <8597 tiph>arah > .

 : 1 .  Come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > ,  and sit <3427 yashab > in the dust <6083 <aphar > ,  O virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > daughter <1323 bath > of Babylon <0894 Babel > ,  sit <3427 yashab > on <5921 <al > the ground <0776 >erets > :  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > throne <3678 kicce> > ,  O daughter <1323 bath > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > : for thou shalt no <3808 lo> > more <3254 yacaph > be called <7121 qara> > tender <7390 rak > and delicate <6028 <anog > .

 : 2 Take <3947 laqach > the millstones <7347 recheh > ,  and grind <2912 tachan > meal <7058 qemach > : uncover <1540 galah > thy locks <6777 tsammah > ,  make bare <2834 chasaph > the leg <7640 shebel > ,  uncover <1540 galah > the thigh <7785 showq > ,  pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the rivers <5103 n@har > .

 : 3 Thy nakedness <6172 <ervah > shall be uncovered <1540 galah > ,  yea <1571 gam > ,  thy shame <2781 cherpah > shall be seen <7200 ra>ah > : I will take <3947 laqach > vengeance <5359 naqam > ,  and I will not meet <6293 paga< >  [ thee as ]  a man <0120 >adam > .

 : 4  [ As for ]  our redeemer <1350 ga>al > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >  [ is ]  his name <8034 shem > ,  the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

 : 5 Sit <3427 yashab > thou silent <1748 duwmam > ,  and get <0935 bow> > thee into darkness <2822 choshek > ,  O daughter <1323 bath > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > : for thou shalt no <3808 lo> > more <3254 yacaph > be called <7121 qara> > ,  The lady <1404 g@bereth > of kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > .

 : 6 I was wroth <7107 qatsaph > with my people <5971 <am > ,  I have polluted <2490 chalal > mine inheritance <5159 nachalah > ,  and given <5414 nathan > them into thine hand <3027 yad > : thou didst shew <7760 suwm > them no <3808 lo> > mercy <7356 racham > ;  upon the ancient <2204 zaqen > hast thou very <3966 m@<od > heavily <3513 kabad > laid thy yoke <5923 <ol > .

 : 7 .  And thou saidst <0559 >amar > ,  I shall be a lady <1404 g@bereth > for ever <5769 <owlam > :  [ so <5704 <ad > ]  that thou didst not lay <7760 suwm > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  to thy heart <3820 leb > ,  neither <3808 lo> > didst remember <2142 zakar > the latter <0319 >achariyth > end of it .

 : 8 Therefore hear <8085 shama< > now <6258 <attah > this <2063 zo>th > ,   [ thou that art ]  given to pleasures <5719 <adiyn > ,  that dwellest <3427 yashab > carelessly <0983 betach > ,  that sayest <0559 >amar > in thine heart <3824 lebab > ,  I  [ am ]  ,  and none <0657 >ephec > else <5750 <owd > beside <0657 >ephec > me ;  I shall not sit <3427 yashab >  [ as ]  a widow <0490 >almanah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall I know <3045 yada< > the loss <7921 shakol > of children :

 : 9 But these <0428 >el - leh > two <8147 sh@nayim >  [ things ]  shall come <0935 bow> > to thee in a moment <7281 rega< > in one <0259 >echad > day <3117 yowm > ,  the loss <7921 shakol > of children ,  and widowhood <0489 >almon > : they shall come <0935 bow> > upon thee in their perfection <8537 tom > for the multitude <7230 rob > of thy sorceries <3785 kesheph > ,   [ and ]  for the great <3966 m@<od > abundance <6109 <otsmah > of thine enchantments <2267 cheber > .

 : 10 For thou hast trusted <0982 batach > in thy wickedness <7451 ra< > : thouhast said <0559 >amar > ,  None <0369 >ayin > seeth <7200 ra>ah > me .  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 .

 : 11 Therefore shall evil <7451 ra< > come <0935 bow> > upon thee ;  thou shalt not know <3045 yada< > from whence <0370 >aiyn > it riseth <7837 shachar > : and mischief <1943 hovah > shall fall <5307 naphal > upon thee ;  thou shalt not be able <3201 yakol > to put <3722 kaphar > it off : and desolation <7722 show> > shall come <0935 bow> > upon thee suddenly <6597 pith>owm > ,   [ which ]  thou shalt not know <3045 yada< > .

 : 12 Stand <5975 <amad > now <4994 na> > with thine enchantments <2267 cheber > ,  and with the multitude <7230 rob > of thy sorceries <3785 kesheph > ,  wherein <0834 >aher > thou hast laboured <3021 yaga< > from thy youth <5271 na<uwr > ;  if <0194 >uwlay > so be thou shalt be able <3201 yakol > to profit <3276 ya<al > ,  if <0194 >uwlay > so be thou mayest prevail <6206 <arats > .

 : 13 Thou art wearied <3811 la>ah > in the multitude <7230 rob > of thy counsels <6098 <etsah > .  Let now <4994 na> > the astrologers <1895 habar > ,  the stargazers ,  the monthly <2320 chodesh > prognosticators <3045 yada< > ,  stand <5975 <amad > up ,  and save <3467 yasha< > thee from  [ these things ]  that shall come <0935 bow> > upon thee .

 : 14 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  they shall be as stubble <7179 qash > ;  the fire <0784 >esh > shall burn <8313 saraph > them ;  they shall not deliver <5337 natsal > themselves <5315 nephesh > from the power <3027 yad > of the flame <3852 lehabah > :  [ there shall ]  not  [ be ]  a coal <1513 gechel > to warm <2552 chamam > at ,   [ nor ]  fire <0217 >uwr > to sit <3427 yashab > before <5048 neged > it .

 : 15 Thus <3651 ken > shall they be unto thee with whom <0834 >aher > thou hast laboured <3021 yaga< > ,   [ even ]  thy merchants <5503 cachar > ,  from thy youth <5271 na<uwr > : they shall wander <8582 ta<ah > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his quarter <5676 <eber > ;  none <0369 >ayin > shall save <3467 yasha< > thee .

 : 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 > .

 : 16 .  Come <7126 qarab > ye near <7126 qarab > unto me ,  hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2063 zo>th > ;  I have not spoken <1696 dabar > in secret <5643 cether > from the beginning <7218 ro>sh > ;  from the time <6256 <eth > that it was ,  there <8033 sham >  [ am ]  I : and now <6258 <attah > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  and his Spirit <7307 ruwach > ,  hath sent <7971 shalach > me .

 : 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 > .

 : 21 And they thirsted <6770 tsame> > not  [ when ]  he led <3212 yalak > themthrough the deserts <2723 chorbah > : he caused the waters <4325 mayim > to flow <5140 nazal > out of the rock <6697 tsuwr > for them : he clave <1234 baqa< > the rock <6697 tsuwr > also ,  and the waters <4325 mayim > gushed <2100 zuwb > out .

 : 22  [ There is ]  no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  unto the wicked <7563 rasha< > .

 : 1 .  Listen <8085 shama< > ,  O isles <0339 >iy > ,  unto me ;  and hearken <7181 qashab > ,  ye people <3816 l@om > ,  from far <7350 rachowq > ;  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > me from the womb <0990 beten > ;  from the bowels <4578 me<ah > of my mother <0517 >em > hath he made mention <2142 zakar > of my name <8034 shem > .

 : 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 ;

 : 3 And said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Thou  [ art ]  my servant <5650 <ebed > ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  in whom <0834 >aher > I will be glorified <6286 pa>ar > .

 : 4 Then I said <0559 >amar > ,  I have laboured <3021 yaga< > in vain <7385 riyq > ,  I have spent <3615 kalah > my strength <3581 koach > for nought <8414 tohuw > ,  and in vain <1892 hebel > :  [ yet ]  surely <0403 >aken > my judgment <4941 mishpat >  [ is ]  with the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and my work <6468 p@<ullah > with my God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 5 And now <6258 <attah > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that formed <3335 yatsar > me from the womb <0990 beten >  [ to be ]  his servant <5650 <ebed > ,  to bring <7725 shuwb > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > again <7725 shuwb > to him ,  Though Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be not gathered <0622 >acaph > ,  yet shall I be glorious <3513 kabad > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and my God <0430 >elohiym > shall be my strength <5797 <oz > .

 : 6 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  It is a light <7043 qalal > thing that thou shouldest be my servant <5650 <ebed > to raise <6965 quwm > up the tribes <7626 shebet > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and to restore <7725 shuwb > the preserved <5336 natsiyr > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : I will also give <5414 nathan > thee for a light <0216 >owr > to the Gentiles <1471 gowy > ,  that thou mayest be my salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > unto the end <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets > .

 : 7 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the Redeemer <1350 ga>al > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,   [ and ]  his Holy <6918 qadowsh > One ,  to him whom man <5315 nephesh > despiseth <0960 bazoh > ,  to him whom the nation <1471 gowy > abhorreth <8581 ta<ab > ,  to a servant <5650 <ebed > of rulers <4910 mashal > ,  Kings <4428 melek > shall see <7200 ra>ah > and arise <6965 quwm > ,  princes <8269 sar > also shall worship <7812 shachah > ,  because <4616 ma<an > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that is faithful <0539 >aman > ,   [ and ]  the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and he shall choose <0977 bachar > thee .

 : 8 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  In an acceptable <7522 ratsown > time <6256 <eth > have I heard <6030 <anah > thee ,  and in a day <3117 yowm > of salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > have I helped <5826 <azar > thee : and I will preserve <5341 natsar > thee ,  and give <5414 nathan > thee for a covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the people <5971 <am > ,  to establish <6965 quwm > the earth <0776 >erets > ,  to cause to inherit <5157 nachal > the desolate <8076 shamem > heritages <5159 nachalah > ;

 : 9 That thou mayest say <0559 >amar > to the prisoners <0631 >acar > ,  Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ;  to them that  [ are ]  in darkness <2822 choshek > ,  Shew <1540 galah > yourselves .  They shall feed <7462 ra<ah > in the ways <1870 derek > ,  and their pastures <4830 mir<iyth >  [ shall be ]  in all <3605 kol > high <8203 Sh@phatyah > places .

 : 10 They shall not hunger <7456 ra<eb > nor <3808 lo> > thirst <6770 tsame> > ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall the heat <8273 sharab > nor <3808 lo> > sun <8121 shemesh > smite <5221 nakah > them : for he that hath mercy <7355 racham > on them shall lead <5090 nahag > them ,  even by the springs <4002 mabbuwa< > of water <4325 mayim > shall he guide <5095 nahal > them .

 : 11 And I will make <7760 suwm > all <3605 kol > my mountains <2022 har > a way <1870 derek > ,  and my highways <4546 m@cillah > shall be exalted <7311 ruwm > .

 : 12 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  these <0428 >el - leh > shall come <0935 bow> > from far <7350 rachowq > : and ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  these <0428 >el - leh > from the north <6828 tsaphown > and from the west <3220 yam > ;  and these <0428 >el - leh > from the land <0776 >erets > of Sinim <5515 Ciyniym > .

 : 13 .  Sing <7442 ranan > ,  O heavens <8064 shamayim > ;  and be joyful <1523 giyl > ,  O earth <0776 >erets > ;  and break <6476 patsach > forth into singing <7440 rinnah > ,  O mountains <2022 har > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath comforted <5162 nacham > his people <5971 <am > ,  and will have mercy <7355 racham > upon his afflicted <6041 <aniy > .

 : 14 But Zion <6726 Tsiyown > said <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath forsaken <5800 <azab > me ,  and my Lord <0136 >Adonay > hath forgotten <7913 shakeach > me .

 : 15 Can a woman <0802 >ishshah > forget <7911 shakach > her sucking <5764 <uwl > child ,  that she should not have compassion <7355 racham > on the son <1121 ben > of her womb <0990 beten > ?  yea <1571 gam > ,  they may forget <7911 shakach > ,  yet will I not forget <7911 shakach > thee .

 : 16 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I have graven <2710 chaqaq > thee upon the palms <3709 kaph > of  [ my ]  hands <3709 kaph > ;  thy walls <2346 chowmah >  [ are ]  continually <8548 tamiyd > before <5048 neged > me .

 : 17 Thy children <1121 ben > shall make haste <4116 mahar > ;  thy destroyers <2040 harac > and they that made thee waste <2717 charab > shall go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > of thee .

 : 18 .  Lift <5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > round <5439 cabiyb > about ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > : all <3605 kol > these gather <6908 qabats > themselves together ,   [ and ]  come <0935 bow> > to thee .   [ As ]  I live <2416 chay > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thou shalt surely <3588 kiy > clothe <3847 labash > thee with them all <3605 kol > ,  as with an ornament <5716 <adiy > ,  and bind <7194 qashar > them  [ on thee ]  ,  as a bride <3618 kallah >  [ doeth ]  .

 : 19 For thy waste <2723 chorbah > and thy desolate <8074 shamem > places ,  and the land <0776 >erets > of thy destruction <2035 hariycuwth > ,  shall even <3588 kiy > now <6258 <attah > be too narrow <3334 yatsar > by reason of the inhabitants <3427 yashab > ,  and they that swallowed <1104 bala< > thee up shall be far <7368 rachaq > away .

 : 20 The children <1121 ben > which thou shalt have ,  after thou hast lost <7923 shikkuliym > the other ,  shall say <0559 >amar > again <5750 <owd > in thine ears <0241 >ozen > ,  The place <4725 maqowm >  [ is ]  too strait <6862 tsar > for me : give <5066 nagash > place <4725 maqowm > to me that I may dwell <3427 yashab > .

 : 21 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > in thine heart <3824 lebab > ,  Who <4310 miy > hath begotten <3205 yalad > me these <0428 >el - leh > ,  seeing I have lost <7908 sh@kowl > my children ,  and am desolate <1565 galmuwd > ,  a captive <1473 gowlah > ,  and removing <5493 cuwr > to and fro ?  and who <4310 miy > hath brought <1431 gadal > up these <2007 hennah > ?  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I was left <7604 sha>ar > alone <0905 bad > ;  these <0428 >el - leh > ,  where <0375 >eyphoh >  [ had ]  they  [ been ]  ?

 : 22 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I will lift <5375 nasa> > up mine hand <3027 yad > to the Gentiles <1471 gowy > ,  and set <7311 ruwm > up my standard <5251 nec > to the people <5971 <am > : and they shall bring <0935 bow> > thy sons <1121 ben > in  [ their ]  arms <2684 chotsen > ,  and thy daughters <1121 ben > shall be carried <5375 nasa> > upon  [ their ]  shoulders <3802 katheph > .

 : 23 And kings <4428 melek > shall be thy nursing <0539 >aman > fathers ,  and their queens <8282 sarah > thy nursing <3243 yanaq > mothers : they shall bow <7812 shachah > down <7812 shachah > to thee with  [ their ]  face <0639 >aph > toward the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and lick <3897 lachak > up the dust <6083 <aphar > of thy feet <7272 regel > ;  and thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for they shall not be ashamed <0954 buwsh > that wait <6960 qavah > for me .

 : 24 .  Shall the prey <4455 malqowach > be taken <3947 laqach > from the mighty <1368 gibbowr > ,  or the lawful <6662 tsaddiyq > captive <7628 sh@biy > delivered <4422 malat > ?

 : 25 But thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Even <1571 gam > the captives <7628 sh@biy > of the mighty <1368 gibbowr > shall be taken <3947 laqach > away ,  and the prey <4455 malqowach > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts > shall be delivered <4422 malat > : for I will contend <7378 riyb > with him that contendeth <3401 yariyb > with thee ,  and I will save <3467 yasha< > thy children <1121 ben > .

 : 26 And I will feed <0398 >akal > them that oppress <3238 yanah > thee with their own flesh <1320 basar > ;  and they shall be drunken <7937 shakar > with their own blood <1818 dam > ,  as with sweet <6071 <aciyc > wine <6071 <aciyc > : and all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > shall know <3045 yada< > that I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ am ]  thy Saviour <3467 yasha< > and thy Redeemer <1350 ga>al > ,  the mighty <46> One of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > .

 : Isaiah 50

 : 1 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Where <0335 >ay >  [ is ]  the bill <5612 cepher > of your mother s <0517 >em > divorcement <3748 k@riythuwth > ,  whom <0834 >aher > I have put <7971 shalach > away ?  or <0176 >ow > which <4310 miy > of my creditors <5383 nashah >  [ is it ]  to whom <0834 >aher > I have sold <4376 makar > you ?  Behold <2005 hen > ,  for your iniquities <5771 <avon > have ye sold <4376 makar > yourselves ,  and for your transgressions <6588 pesha< > is your mother <0517 >em > put <7971 shalach > away .

 : 2 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > ,  when I came <0935 bow> > ,   [ was there ]  no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > ?  when I called <7121 qara> > ,   [ was there ]  none <0369 >ayin > to answer <6030 <anah > ?  Is my hand <3027 yad > shortened <7114 qatsar > at all ,  that it cannot redeem <6304 p@duwth > ?  or have I no <0369 >ayin > power <3581 koach > to deliver <5337 natsal > ?  behold <2005 hen > ,  at my rebuke <1606 g@<arah > I dry <2717 charab > up the sea <3220 yam > ,  I make <7760 suwm > the rivers <5103 n@har > a wilderness <4057 midbar > : their fish <1710 dagah > stinketh <0887 ba>ash > ,  because  [ there is ]  no <0369 >ayin > water <4325 mayim > ,  and dieth <4191 muwth > for thirst <6772 tsama> > .

 : 3 I clothe <3847 labash > the heavens <8064 shamayim > with blackness <6940 qadruwth > ,  and I make <7760 suwm > sackcloth <8242 saq > their covering <3682 k@cuwth > .

 : 4 .  The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath given <5414 nathan > me the tongue <3956 lashown > of the learned <3928 limmuwd > ,  that I should know <3045 yada< > how to speak <5790 <uwth > a word <1697 dabar > in season to  [ him that is ]  weary <3287 ya<@ph > : he wakeneth <5782 <uwr > morning <1242 boqer > by morning <1242 boqer > ,  he wakeneth <5782 <uwr > mine ear <0241 >ozen > to hear <8085 shama< > as the learned <3928 limmuwd > .

 : 5 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath opened <6605 pathach > mine ear <0241 >ozen > ,  and I was not rebellious <4784 marah > ,  neither <3808 lo> > turned <5472 cuwg > away back <0268 >achowr > .

 : 6 I gave <5414 nathan > my back <1458 gav > to the smiters <5221 nakah > ,  and my cheeks <3895 l@chiy > to them that plucked <4803 marat > off the hair : I hid <5641 cathar > not my face <6440 paniym > from shame <3639 k@limmah > and spitting <7536 roq > .

 : 7 For the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > will help <5826 <azar > me ;  therefore shall I not be confounded <3637 kalam > : therefore have I set <7760 suwm > my face <6440 paniym > like a flint <2496 challamiysh > ,  and I know <3045 yada< > that I shall not be ashamed <0954 buwsh > .

 : 8  [ He is ]  near <7138 qarowb > that justifieth <6663 tsadaq > me ;  who <4310 miy > will contend <7378 riyb > with me ?  let us stand <5975 <amad > together <3162 yachad > : who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  mine adversary ?  let him come <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash > to me .

 : 9 Behold <2005 hen > ,  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > will help <5826 <azar > me ;  who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  he  [ that ]  shall condemn <7561 rasha< > me ?  lo <2005 hen > ,  they all <3605 kol > shall wax old <1086 balah > as a garment <0899 beged > ;  the moth <6211 <ash > shall eat <0398 >akal > them up .

 : 10 .  Who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  among you that feareth <3373 yare> > the LORD <3068Y@hovah > ,  that obeyeth <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of his servant <5650 <ebed > ,  that walketh <1980 halak >  [ in ]  darkness <2825 chashekah > ,  and hath no <0369 >ayin > light <5051 nogahh > ?  let him trust <0982 batach > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and stay <8172 sha<an > upon his God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 11 Behold <2005 hen > ,  all <3605 kol > ye that kindle <6919 qadach > a fire <0784 >esh > ,  that compass <0247 >azar >  [ yourselves ]  about with sparks <2131 ziyqah > : walk <3212 yalak > in the light <0217 >uwr > of your fire <0784 >esh > ,  and in the sparks <2131 ziyqah >  [ that ]  ye have kindled <1197 ba<ar > .  This <2063 zo>th > shall ye have <1961 hayah > of mine hand <3027 yad > ;  ye shall lie <7901 shakab > down <7901 shakab > in sorrow <4620 ma<atsebah > .

 : Isaiah 51

 : 1 .  Hearken <8085 shama< > to me ,  ye that follow <7291 radaph > after <0310>achar > righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,  ye that seek <1245 baqash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : look <5027 nabat > unto the rock <6697 tsuwr >  [ whence ]  ye are hewn <2672 chatsab > ,  and to the hole <4618 ma<anah > of the pit <0953 bowr >  [ whence ]  ye are digged <5365 naqar > .

 : 2 Look <5027 nabat > unto Abraham <85> your father <1> ,  and unto Sarah <8283 Sarah >  [ that ]  bare <2342 chuwl > you : for I called <7121 qara> > him alone <0259 >echad > ,  and blessed <1288 barak > him ,  and increased <7235 rabah > him .

 : 3 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall comfort <5162 nacham > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > : he will comfort <5162 nacham > all <3605 kol > her waste <2723 chorbah > places ;  and he will make <7760 suwm > her wilderness <4057 midbar > like Eden <5731 <Eden > ,  and her desert <6160 <arabah > like the garden <1588 gan > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  joy <8342 sasown > and gladness <8057 simchah > shall be found <4672 matsa> > therein ,  thanksgiving <8426 towdah > ,  and the voice <6963 qowl > of melody <2172 zimrah > .

 : 4 .  Hearken <7181 qashab > unto me ,  my people <5971 <am > ;  and give ear <0238 >azan > unto me ,  O my nation <3816 l@om > : for a law <8451 towrah > shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > from me ,  and I will make my judgment <4941 mishpat > to rest <7280 raga< > for a light <0216 >owr > of the people <5971 <am > .

 : 5 My righteousness <6664 tsedeq >  [ is ]  near <7138 qarowb > ;  my salvation <3468 yesha< > is gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  and mine arms <2220 z@rowa< > shall judge <8199 shaphat > the people <5971 <am > ;  the isles <0339 >iy > shall wait <6960 qavah > upon me ,  and on <0413 >el > mine arm <2220 z@rowa< > shall they trust <3176 yachal > .

 : 6 Lift <5375 nasa> > up your eyes <5869 <ayin > to the heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  and look <5027 nabat > upon the earth <0776 >erets > beneath <8478 tachath > : for the heavens <8064 shamayim > shall vanish <4414 malach > away like smoke <6227 <ashan > ,  and the earth <0776 >erets > shall wax old <1086 balah > like a garment <0899 beged > ,  and they that dwell <3427 yashab > therein shall die <4191 muwth > in like <3644 k@mow > manner <3654 ken > : but my salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > shall be for ever <5769 <owlam > ,  and my righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > shall not be abolished <2865 chathath > .

 : 7 Hearken <8085 shama< > unto me ,  ye that know <3045 yada< > righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,  the people <5971 <am > in whose heart <3820 leb >  [ is ]  my law <8451 towrah > ;  fear <3372 yare> > ye not the reproach <2781 cherpah > of men <0582 >enowsh > ,  neither <0408 >al > be ye afraid <2865 chathath > of their revilings <1421 gidduwph > .

 : 8 For the moth <6211 <ash > shall eat <0398 >akal > them up like a garment <0899 beged > ,  and the worm <5580 cac > shall eat <0398 >akal > them like wool <6785 tsemer > : but my righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > shall be for ever <5769 <owlam > ,  and my salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > from generation <1755 dowr > to generation <1755 dowr > .

 : 9 .  Awake <5782 <uwr > ,  awake <5782 <uwr > ,  put <3847 labash > on strength <5797 <oz > ,  O arm <2220 z@rowa< > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  awake <5782 <uwr > ,  as in the ancient <6924 qedem > days <3117 yowm > ,  in the generations <1755 dowr > of old <5769 <owlam > .   [ Art ]  thou not it that hath cut <2672 chatsab > Rahab <7294 Rahab > ,   [ and ]  wounded <2490 chalal > the dragon <8577 tanniyn > ?

 : 11 Therefore the redeemed <6299 padah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall return <7725 shuwb > ,  and come <0935 bow> > with singing <7440 rinnah > unto Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ;  and everlasting <5769 <owlam > joy <8057 simchah >  [ shall be ]  upon their head <7218 ro>sh > : they shall obtain <5381 nasag > gladness <8057 simchah > and joy <8057 simchah > ;   [ and ]  sorrow <3015 yagown > and mourning <0585 >anachah > shall flee <5127 nuwc > away .

 : 15 But I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  that divided <7280 raga< > the sea <3220 yam > ,  whose waves <1530 gal > roared <1993 hamah > : The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >  [ is ]  his name <8034 shem > .

 : 16 And I have put <7760 suwm > my words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh > ,  and I have covered <3680 kacah > thee in the shadow <6738 tsel > of mine hand <3027 yad > ,  that I may plant <5193 nata< > the heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  and lay the foundations <3245 yacad > of the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and say <0559 >amar > unto Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,  Thou  [ art ]  my people <5971 <am > .

 : 19 These <2007 hennah > two <8147 sh@nayim >  [ things ]  are come <7122 qara> > unto thee ;  who <4310 miy > shall be sorry <5110 nuwd > for thee ?  desolation <7701 shod > ,  and destruction <7667 sheber > ,  and the famine <7458 ra<ab > ,  and the sword <2719 chereb > : by whom <4310 miy > shall I comfort <5162 nacham > thee ?

 : 20 Thy sons <1121 ben > have fainted <5968 <alaph > ,  they lie <7901 shakab > at the head <7218 ro>sh > of all <3605 kol > the streets <2351 chuwts > ,  as a wild <8377 t@>ow > bull <8377 t@>ow > in a net <4364 makmar > : they are full <4392 male> > of the fury <2534 chemah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the rebuke <1606 g@<arah > of thy God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : Isaiah 52

 : 1 .  Awake <5782 <uwr > ,  awake <5782 <uwr > ;  put <3847 labash > on thy strength <5797 <oz > ,  O Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ;  put <3847 labash > on thy beautiful <8597 tiph>arah > garments <0899 beged > ,  O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  the holy <6944 qodesh > city <5892 <iyr > : for henceforth <6258 <attah > there shall no <3808 lo> > more come <0935 bow> > into thee the uncircumcised <6189 <arel > and the unclean <2931 tame> > .

 : 2 Shake <5287 na<ar > thyself from the dust <6083 <aphar > ;  arise <6965 quwm > ,   [ and ]  sit <3427 yashab > down ,  O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : loose <6605 pathach > thyself from the bands <4147 mowcer > of thy neck <6677 tsavva>r > ,  O captive <7628 sh@biy > daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > .

 : 3 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  Ye have sold <4376 makar > yourselves for nought <2600 chinnam > ;  and ye shall be redeemed <1350 ga>al > without <3808 lo> > money <3701 keceph > .

 : 4 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  My people <5971 <am > went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > aforetime <7223 ri>shown > into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to sojourn <1481 guwr > there <8033 sham > ;  and the Assyrian <0804 >Ashshuwr > oppressed <6231 <ashaq > them without <0657 >ephec > cause <0657 >ephec > .

 : 5 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  what <4100 mah > have I here <6311 poh > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that my people <5971 <am > is taken <3947 laqach > away for nought <2600 chinnam > ?  they that rule <4910 mashal > over them make them to howl <3213 yalal > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and my name <8034 shem > continually <8548 tamiyd > every <3605 kol > day <3117 yowm >  [ is ]  blasphemed <5006 na>ats > .

 : 6 Therefore <3651 ken > my people <5971 <am > shall know <3045 yada< > my name <8034 shem > : therefore <3651 ken >  [ they shall know ]  in that day <3117 yowm > that I  [ am ]  he that doth speak <1696 dabar > : behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ it is ]  I .

 : 8 Thy watchmen <6822 tsaphah > shall lift <5375 nasa> > up the voice <6963 qowl > ;  with the voice <6963 qowl > together <3162 yachad > shall they sing <7442 ranan > : for they shall see <7200 ra>ah > eye <5869 <ayin > to eye <5869 <ayin > ,  when the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > .

 : 9 Break <6476 patsach > forth into joy ,  sing <7442 ranan > together <3162 yachad > ,  ye waste <2723 chorbah > places of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath comforted <5162 nacham > his people <5971 <am > ,  he hath redeemed <1350 ga>al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 10 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath made bare <2834 chasaph > his holy <6944 qodesh > arm <2220 z@rowa< > in the eyes <5869 <ayin > of all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > ;  and all <3605 kol > the ends <0657 >ephec > of the earth <0776 >erets > shall see <7200 ra>ah > the salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > of our God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 11 Depart <5493 cuwr > ye ,  depart <5493 cuwr > ye ,  go <3318 yatsa> > ye out from thence <8033 sham > ,  touch <5060 naga< > no <0408 >al > unclean <2931 tame> >  [ thing ]  ;  go <3318 yatsa> > ye out of the midst <8432 tavek > of her ;  be ye clean <1305 barar > ,  that bear <5375 nasa> > the vessels <3627 k@liy > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 12 For ye shall not go <3318 yatsa> > out with haste <2649 chippazown > ,  nor <3808 lo> > go <3212 yalak > by flight <4499 m@nuwcah > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will go <1980 halak > before <6440 paniym > you ;  and the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >  [ will be ]  your rereward <0622 >acaph > .

 : 13 .  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  my servant <5650 <ebed > shall deal prudently<7919 sakal > ,  he shall be exalted <7311 ruwm > and extolled <5375 nasa> > ,  and be very <3966 m@<od > high <1361 gabahh > .

 : 14 As many <7227 rab > were astonied <8074 shamem > at thee ;  his visage <4758 mar>eh > was so marred <4893 mishchath > more than any man <0376 >iysh > ,  and his form <8389 to>ar > more than the sons <1121 ben > of men <0120 >adam > :

 : 15 So <3651 ken > shall he sprinkle <5137 nazah > many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > ;  the kings <4428 melek > shall shut <7092 qaphats > their mouths <6310 peh > at him : for  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher > had not been told <5608 caphar > them shall they see <7200 ra>ah > ;  and  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher > they had not heard <8085 shama< > shall they consider <0995 biyn > .

 : Isaiah 53

 : 1 .  Who <4310 miy > hath believed <0539 >aman > our report <8052 sh@muw<ah > ?  and to whom <4310 miy > is the arm <2220 z@rowa< > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > revealed <1540 galah > ?

 : 2 For he shall grow <5927 <alah > up before <6440 paniym > him as a tender <3126 yowneq > plant ,  and as a root <8328 sheresh > out of a dry <6723 tsiyah > ground <0776 >erets > : he hath no <3808 lo> > form <8389 to>ar > nor <3808 lo> > comeliness <1926 hadar > ;  and when we shall see <7200 ra>ah > him ,   [ there is ]  no <3808 lo> > beauty <4758 mar>eh > that we should desire <2530 chamad > him .

 : 3 He is despised <0959 bazah > and rejected <2310 chadel > of men <0376 >iysh > ;  a man <0376 >iysh > of sorrows <4341 mak>ob > ,  and acquainted <3045 yada< > with grief <2483 choliy > : and we hid <5641 cathar > as it were  [ our ]  faces <6440 paniym > from him ;  he was despised <0959 bazah > ,  and we esteemed him not .

 : 4 .  Surely <0403 >aken > he hath borne <5375 nasa> > our griefs <2483 choliy > ,  and carried <5445 cabal > our sorrows <4341 mak>ob > : yet we did esteem <2803 chashab > him stricken <5060 naga< > ,  smitten <5221 nakah > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and afflicted <6031 <anah > .

 : 5 But he  [ was ]  wounded <2490 chalal > for our transgressions <6588 pesha< > ,   [ he was ]  bruised <1792 daka> > for our iniquities <5771 <avon > : the chastisement <4148 muwcar > of our peace <7965 shalowm >  [ was ]  upon him ;  and with his stripes <2250 chabbuwrah > we are healed <7495 rapha> > .

 : 6 All <3605 kol > we like sheep <6629 tso>n > have gone <8582 ta<ah > astray <8582 ta<ah > ;  we have turned <6437 panah > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his own way <1870 derek > ;  and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath laid <6293 paga< > on him the iniquity <5771 <avon > of us all <3605 kol > .

 : 7 He was oppressed <5065 nagas > ,  and he was afflicted <6031 <anah > ,  yet he opened <6605 pathach > not his mouth <6310 peh > : he is brought <2986 yabal > as a lamb <7716 seh > to the slaughter <2875 Tebach > ,  and as a sheep <7353 rachel > before <6440 paniym > her shearers <1494 gazaz > is dumb <0481 >alam > ,  so he openeth <6605 pathach > not his mouth <6310 peh > .

 : 8 He was taken <3947 laqach > from prison <6115 <otser > and from judgment <4941 mishpat > : and who <4310 miy > shall declare <7878 siyach > his generation <1755 dowr > ?  for he was cut <1504 gazar > off out of the land <0776 >erets > of the living <2416 chay > : for the transgression <6588 pesha< > of my people <5971 <am > was he stricken <5061 nega< > .

 : 9 And he made <5414 nathan > his grave <6913 qeber > with the wicked <7563 rasha< > ,  and with the rich <6223 <ashiyr > in his death <4194 maveth > ;  because <5921 <al > he had done <6213 <asah > no <3808 lo> > violence <2555 chamac > ,  neither <3808 lo> >  [ was any ]  deceit <4820 mirmah > in his mouth <6310 peh > .

 : 10 .  Yet it pleased <2654 chaphets > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > to bruise <1792 daka> > him ;  he hath put  [ him ]  to grief <2470 chalah > : when <0518 >im > thou shalt make <7760 suwm > his soul <5315 nephesh > an offering for sin <0817 >asham > ,  he shall see <7200 ra>ah >  [ his ]  seed <2233 zera< > ,  he shall prolong <0748 >arak >  [ his ]  days <3117 yowm > ,  and the pleasure <2656 chephets > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall prosper <6743 tsalach > in his hand <3027 yad > .

 : 11 He shall see <7200 ra>ah > of the travail <5999 <amal > of his soul <5315 nephesh > ,   [ and ]  shall be satisfied <7646 saba< > : by his knowledge <1847 da<ath > shall my righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > servant <5650 <ebed > justify <6663 tsadaq > many <7227 rab > ;  for he shall bear <5445 cabal > their iniquities <5771 <avon > .

 : 12 Therefore <3651 ken > will I divide <5312 n@phaq > him  [ a portion ]  with the great <7227 rab > ,  and he shall divide <5312 n@phaq > the spoil <7998 shalal > with the strong <6099 <atsuwm > ;  because he hath poured <6168 <arah > out his soul <5315 nephesh > unto death <4194 maveth > : and he was numbered <4487 manah > with the transgressors <6586 pasha< > ;  and he bare <5375 nasa> > the sin <2399 chet> > of many <7227 rab > ,  and made intercession <6293 paga< > for the transgressors <6586 pasha< > .

 : Isaiah 54

 : 1 .  Sing <7442 ranan > ,  O barren <6135 <aqar > ,  thou  [ that ]  didst not bear <5375 nasa> > ;  break <6476 patsach > forth into singing <7440 rinnah > ,  and cry <6670 tsahal > aloud <6670 tsahal > ,  thou  [ that ]  didst not travail <2342 chuwl > with child : for more <7227 rab >  [ are ]  the children <1121 ben > of the desolate <8074 shamem > than the children <1121 ben > of the married <1166 ba<al > wife ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 2 Enlarge <7337 rachab > the place <4725 maqowm > of thy tent <0168 >ohel > ,  and let them stretch <5186 natah > forth the curtains <3407 y@riy<ah > of thine habitations <4908 mishkan > : spare <2820 chasak > not ,  lengthen <0748 >arak > thy cords <4340 meythar > ,  and strengthen <2388 chazaq > thy stakes <3489 yathed > ;

 : 3 For thou shalt break <6555 parats > forth on the right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > and on the left <8040 s@mo>wl > ;  and thy seed <2233 zera< > shall inherit <3423 yarash > the Gentiles <1471 gowy > ,  and make the desolate <8077 sh@mamah > cities <5892 <iyr > to be inhabited <3427 yashab > .

 : 4 Fear <3372 yare> > not ;  for thou shalt not be ashamed <0954 buwsh > : neither <0408 >al > be thou confounded <3637 kalam > ;  for thou shalt not be put to shame <2659 chapher > : for thou shalt forget <7911 shakach > the shame <1322 bosheth > of thy youth <5934 <aluwm > ,  and shalt not remember <2142 zakar > the reproach <2781 cherpah > of thy widowhood <0491 >almanuwth > any more <5750 <owd > .

 : 5 For thy Maker <6213 <asah >  [ is ]  thine husband <1167 ba<al > ;  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >  [ is ]  his name <8034 shem > ;  and thy Redeemer <1350 ga>al > the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  The God <0430 >elohiym > of the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets > shall he be called <7121 qara> > .

 : 6 .  For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath called <7121 qara> > thee as a woman <0802 >ishshah > forsaken <5800 <azab > and grieved <6087 <atsab > in spirit <7307 ruwach > ,  and a wife <0802 >ishshah > of youth <5271 na<uwr > ,  when <3588 kiy > thou wast refused <3988 ma>ac > ,  saith <0559 >amar > thy God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 7 For a small <6996 qatan > moment <7281 rega< > have I forsaken <5800 <azab > thee ;  but with great <1419 gadowl > mercies <7356 racham > will I gather <6908 qabats > thee .

 : 8 In a little <8241 shetseph > wrath <7110 qetseph > I hid <5641 cathar > my face <6440 paniym > from thee for a moment <7281 rega< > ;  but with everlasting <5769 <owlam > kindness <2617 checed > will I have mercy <7355 racham > on thee ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy Redeemer <1350 ga>al > .

 : 9 For this <2063 zo>th >  [ is as ]  the waters <4325 mayim > of Noah <5146 Noach > unto me : for  [ as ]  I have sworn <7650 shaba< > that the waters <4325 mayim > of Noah <5146 Noach > should no more <5750 <owd > go <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the earth <0776 >erets > ;  so <3651 ken > have I sworn <7650 shaba< > that I would not be wroth <7107 qatsaph > with thee ,  nor rebuke <1605 ga<ar > thee .

 : 10 For the mountains <2022 har > shall depart <4185 muwsh > ,  and the hills <1389 gib<ah > be removed <4131 mowt > ;  but my kindness <2617 checed > shall not depart <4185 muwsh > from thee ,  neither <3808 lo> > shall the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of my peace <7965 shalowm > be removed <4131 mowt > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that hath mercy <7355 racham > on thee .

 : 11 .  O thou afflicted <6041 <aniy > ,  tossed with tempest <5590 ca<ar > ,   [ and ]  not comforted <5162 nacham > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I will lay <7257 rabats > thy stones <68> with fair <6320 puwk > colours <6320 puwk > ,  and lay thy foundations <3245 yacad > with sapphires <5601 cappiyr > .

 : 12 And I will make <7760 suwm > thy windows <8121 shemesh > of agates <3539 kadkod > ,  and thy gates <8179 sha<ar > of carbuncles <68> ,  and all <3605 kol > thy borders <1366 g@buwl > of pleasant <2656 chephets > stones <68> .

 : 13 And all <3605 kol > thy children <1121 ben >  [ shall be ]  taught <3928 limmuwd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and great <7227 rab >  [ shall be ]  the peace <7965 shalowm > of thy children <1121 ben > .

 : 14 In righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > shalt thou be established <3559 kuwn > : thou shalt be far <7368 rachaq > from oppression <6233 <osheq > ;  for thou shalt not fear <3372 yare> > : and from terror <4288 m@chittah > ;  for it shall not come <7126 qarab > near <7126 qarab > thee .

 : 15 Behold <2005 hen > ,  they shall surely gather <1481 guwr > together ,   [ but ]  not by me : whosoever <4310 miy > shall gather <1481 guwr > together against <5921 <al > thee shall fall <5307 naphal > for thy sake <4616 ma<an > .

 : 16 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I have created <1254 bara> > the smith <2796 charash > that bloweth <5301 naphach > the coals <6352 pecham > in the fire <0784 >esh > ,  and that bringeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > an instrument <3627 k@liy > for his work <4639 ma<aseh > ;  and I have created <1254 bara> > the waster <7843 shachath > to destroy <2254 chabal > .

 : 6 Also the sons <1121 ben > of the stranger <5236 nekar > ,  that join <3867 lavah > themselves to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  to serve <8334 sharath > him ,  and to love <0157 >ahab > the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  to be his servants <5650 <ebed > ,  every <3605 kol > one that keepeth <8104 shamar > the sabbath <7676 shabbath > from polluting <2490 chalal > it ,  and taketh <2388 chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > of my covenant <1285 b@riyth > ;

 : 8 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > which gathereth <6908 qabats > the outcasts <1760 dachah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > saith <5002 n@>um > ,  Yet <5750 <owd > will I gather <6908 qabats >  [ others ]  to him ,  beside those that are gathered <6908 qabats > unto him .

 : 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 > ;

 : 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 .

 : 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 > .

 : 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 .

 : 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 > .

 : Isaiah 60

 : 1 .  Arise <6965 quwm > ,  shine <0215 >owr > ;  for thy light <0216 >owr > is come <0935 bow> > ,  and the glory <3519 kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is risen <2224 zarach > upon thee .

 : 2 For ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the darkness <2822 choshek > shall cover <3680 kacah > the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and gross <6205 <araphel > darkness <6205 <araphel > the people <3816 l@om > : but the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall arise <2224 zarach > upon thee ,  and his glory <3519 kabowd > shall be seen <7200 ra>ah > upon thee .

 : 3 And the Gentiles <1471 gowy > shall come <1980 halak > to thy light <0216 >owr > ,  and kings <4428 melek > to the brightness <5051 nogahh > of thy rising <2225 zerach > .

 : 5 Then <0227 >az > thou shalt see ,  and flow <5102 nahar > together ,  and thine heart <3824 lebab > shall fear <6342 pachad > ,  and be enlarged <7337 rachab > ;  because <3588 kiy > the abundance <1995 hamown > of the sea <3220 yam > shall be converted <2015 haphak > unto thee ,  the forces <2428 chayil > of the Gentiles <1471 gowy > shall come <0935 bow> > unto thee .

 : 6 The multitude <8229 shiph<ah > of camels <1581 gamal > shall cover <3680 kacah > thee ,  the dromedaries <1070 beker > of Midian <4080 Midyan > and Ephah <5891 <Eyphah > ;  all <3605 kol > they from Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > shall come <0935 bow> > : they shall bring <5375 nasa> > gold <2091 zahab > and incense <3828 l@bownah > ;  and they shall shew <1319 basar > forth the praises <8416 t@hillah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

 : 7 All <3605 kol > the flocks <6629 tso>n > of Kedar <6938 Qedar > shall be gathered <6908 qabats > together unto thee ,  the rams <0352 >ayil > of Nebaioth <5032 N@bayowth > shall minister <8334 sharath > unto thee : they shall come <5927 <alah > up with acceptance <7522 ratsown > on <5921 <al > mine altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  and I will glorify <6286 pa>ar > the house <1004 bayith > of my glory <8597 tiph>arah > .

 : 8 Who <4310 miy >  [ are ]  these <0428 >el - leh >  [ that ]  fly <5774 <uwph > as a cloud <5645 <ab > ,  and as the doves <3123 yownah > to their windows <0699 >arubbah > ?

 : Isaiah 61

 : 1 .  The Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >  [ is ]  upon me ;  because <3282 ya<an > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath anointed <4886 mashach > me to preach <1319 basar > good <1319 basar > tidings <1319 basar > unto the meek <6035 <anav > ;  he hath sent <7971 shalach > me to bind <2280 chabash > up the brokenhearted ,  to proclaim <7121 qara> > liberty <1865 d@rowr > to the captives <7628 sh@biy > ,  and the opening <6495 p@qach - qowach > of the prison <6495 p@qach - qowach > to  [ them that are ]  bound <0631 >acar > ;

 : 2 To proclaim <7121 qara> > the acceptable <7522 ratsown > year <8141 shaneh> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and the day <3117 yowm > of vengeance <5359 naqam > of our God <0430 >elohiym > ;  to comfort <5162 nacham > all <3605 kol > that mourn <57> ;

 : 3 To appoint <7760 suwm > unto them that mourn <57> in Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,  to give <5414 nathan > unto them beauty <6287 p@>er > for ashes <0665 >epher > ,  the oil <8081 shemen > of joy <8342 sasown > for mourning <60> ,  the garment <4594 ma<ateh > of praise <8416 t@hillah > for the spirit <7307 ruwach > of heaviness <3544 keheh > ;  that they might be called <7121 qara> > trees <0352 >ayil > of righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,  the planting <4302 matta< > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  that he might be glorified <6286 pa>ar > .

 : 4 .  And they shall build <1129 banah > the old <5769 <owlam > wastes <2723 chorbah > ,  they shall raise <6965 quwm > up the former <7223 ri>shown > desolations <8074 shamem > ,  and they shall repair <2318 chadash > the waste <2721 choreb > cities <5892 <iyr > ,  the desolations <8074 shamem > of many <7227 rab > generations <1755 dowr > .

 : 5 And strangers <2114 zuwr > shall stand <5975 <amad > and feed <7462 ra<ah > your flocks <6629 tso>n > ,  and the sons <1121 ben > of the alien <5236 nekar >  [ shall be ]  your plowmen <0406 >ikkar > and your vinedressers <3755 korem > .

 : 6 But ye shall be named <7121 qara> > the Priests <3548 kohen > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :  [ men ]  shall call <7121 qara> > you the Ministers <8334 sharath > of our God <0430 >elohiym > : ye shall eat <0398 >akal > the riches <2428 chayil > of the Gentiles <1471 gowy > ,  and in their glory <3519 kabowd > shall ye boast <3235 yamar > yourselves .

 : 7 For your shame <1322 bosheth >  [ ye shall have ]  double <4932 mishneh > ;  and  [ for ]  confusion <3639 k@limmah > they shall rejoice <7442 ranan > in their portion <2506 cheleq > : therefore <3651 ken > in their land <0776 >erets > they shall possess <3423 yarash > the double <4932 mishneh > : everlasting <5769 <owlam > joy <8057 simchah > shall be unto them .

 : 8 For I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > love <0157 >ahab > judgment <4941 mishpat > ,  I hate <8130 sane> > robbery <1498 gazel > for burnt <5930 <olah > offering ;  and I will direct <5414 nathan > their work <6468 p@<ullah > in truth <0571 >emeth > ,  and I will make <3772 karath > an everlasting <5769 <owlam > covenant <1285 b@riyth > with them .

 : 9 And their seed <2233 zera< > shall be known <3045 yada< > among the Gentiles <1471 gowy > ,  and their offspring <6631 tse>etsa> > among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am > : all <3605 kol > that see <7200 ra>ah > them shall acknowledge <5234 nakar > them ,  that they  [ are ]  the seed <2233 zera< >  [ which ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath blessed <1288 barak > .

 : 10 .  I will greatly rejoice <7797 suws > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  my soul <5315 nephesh > shall be joyful <1523 giyl > in my God <0430 >elohiym > ;  for he hath clothed <3847 labash > me with the garments <0899 beged > of salvation <3468 yesha< > ,  he hath covered <3271 ya<at > me with the robe <4598 m@<iyl > of righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ,  as a bridegroom <2860 chathan > decketh <3547 kahan >  [ himself ]  with ornaments <6287 p@>er > ,  and as a bride <3618 kallah > adorneth <5710 <adah >  [ herself ]  with her jewels <3627 k@liy > .

 : 11 For as the earth <0776 >erets > bringeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > her bud <6779 tsamach > ,  and as the garden <1593 gannah > causeth the things that are sown <2221 zeruwa< > in it to spring <6779 tsamach > forth ;  so <3651 ken > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > will cause righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > and praise <8416 t@hillah > to spring <6779 tsamach > forth before <5048 neged > all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > .

 : Isaiah 62

 : 1 .  For Zion s sake <4616 ma<an > will I not hold <2814 chashah > my peace <2814 chashah > ,  and for Jerusalem s <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > sake <4616 ma<an > I will not rest <8252 shaqat > ,  until <5704 <ad > the righteousness <6664 tsedeq > thereof go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > as brightness <5051 nogahh > ,  and the salvation <3444 y@shuw<ah > thereof as a lamp <3940 lappiyd >  [ that ]  burneth <1197 ba<ar > .

 : 2 And the Gentiles <1471 gowy > shall see <7200 ra>ah > thy righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,  and all <3605 kol > kings <4428 melek > thy glory <3519 kabowd > : and thou shalt be called <7121 qara> > by a new <2319 chadash > name <8034 shem > ,  which <0834 >aher > the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall name <8034 shem > .

 : 3 Thou shalt also be a crown <5850 <atarah > of glory <8597 tiph>arah > in the hand <3027 yad > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and a royal <4410 m@luwkah > diadem <6797 tsaniyph > in the hand <3709 kaph > of thy God <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 4 Thou shalt no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > be termed <0559 >amar > Forsaken <5800 <azab > ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall thy land <0776 >erets > any more <5750 <owd > be termed <0559 >amar > Desolate <8077 sh@mamah > : but thou shalt be called <7121 qara> > Hephzibah <2657 Chephtsiy bahh > ,  and thy land <0776 >erets > Beulah <1166 ba<al > : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > delighteth <2654 chaphets > in thee ,  and thy land <0776 >erets > shall be married <1166 ba<al > .

 : 5 For  [ as ]  a young <0970 bachuwr > man marrieth <1166 ba<al > a virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > ,   [ so ]  shall thy sons <1121 ben > marry <1166 ba<al > thee : and  [ as ]  the bridegroom <2860 chathan > rejoiceth <4885 masows > over <5921 <al > the bride <3618 kallah > ,   [ so ]  shall thy God <0430 >elohiym > rejoice <7797 suws > over <5921 <al > thee .

 : 6 .  I have set <6485 paqad > watchmen <8104 shamar > upon thy walls <2346 chowmah > ,  O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,   [ which ]  shall never <3808 lo> > hold <2814 chashah > their peace <2814 chashah > day <3117 yowm > nor night <3915 layil > : ye that make mention <2142 zakar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  keep not silence <1824 d@miy > ,

 : 7 And give <5414 nathan > him no <0408 >al > rest <1824 d@miy > ,  till <5704 <ad > he establish <3559 kuwn > ,  and till <5704 <ad > he make <7760 suwm > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > a praise <8416 t@hillah > in the earth <0776 >erets > .

 : 8 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sworn <7650 shaba< > by his right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > ,  and by the arm <2220 z@rowa< > of his strength <5797 <oz > ,  Surely <0518 >im > I will no <0518 >im > more <5750 <owd > give <5414 nathan > thy corn <1715 dagan >  [ to be ]  meat <3978 ma>akal > for thine enemies <0341 >oyeb > ;  and the sons <1121 ben > of the stranger <5236 nekar > shall not drink <8354 shathah > thy wine <8492 tiyrowsh > ,  for the which <0834 >aher > thou hast laboured <3021 yaga< > :

 : 9 But they that have gathered <0622 >acaph > it shall eat <0398 >akal > it ,  and praise <1984 halal > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  and they that have brought <6908 qabats > it together shall drink <8354 shathah > it in the courts <2691 chatser > of my holiness <6944 qodesh > .

 : 10 .  Go <5674 <abar > through <5674 <abar > ,  go <5674 <abar > through the gates <8179 sha<ar > ;  prepare <6437 panah > ye the way <1870 derek > of the people <5971 <am > ;  cast <5549 calal > up ,  cast <5549 calal > up the highway <4546 m@cillah > ;  gather <5619 caqal > out the stones <68> ;  lift <7311 ruwm > up a standard <5251 nec > for the people <5971 <am > .

 : 11 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath proclaimed <8085 shama< > unto the end <7097 qatseh > of the world <0776 >erets > ,  Say <0559 >amar > ye to the daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thy salvation <3468 yesha< > cometh <0935 bow> > ;  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  his reward <7939 sakar >  [ is ]  with him ,  and his work <6468 p@<ullah > before <6440 paniym > him .

 : 12 And they shall call <7121 qara> > them ,  The holy <6944 qodesh > people <5971 <am > ,  The redeemed <1350 ga>al > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and thou shalt be called <7121 qara> > ,  Sought <1875 darash > out ,  A city <5892 <iyr > not forsaken <5800 <azab > .

 : Isaiah 63

 : 1 .  Who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  this <2088 zeh > that cometh <0935 bow> > from Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  with dyed <2556 chamets > garments <0899 beged > from Bozrah <1224 Botsrah > ?  this <2088 zeh >  [ that is ]  glorious <1921 hadar > in his apparel <3830 l@buwsh > ,  travelling <6808 tsa<ah > in the greatness <7230 rob > of his strength <3581 koach > ?  I that speak <1696 dabar > in righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ,  mighty <7227 rab > to save <3467 yasha< > .

 : 2 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< >  [ art thou ]  red <0122 >adom > in thine apparel <3830 l@buwsh > ,  and thy garments <0899 beged > like him that treadeth <1869 darak > in the winefat <1660 gath > ?

 : 3 I have trodden <1869 darak > the winepress <6333 puwrah > alone <0905 bad > ;  and of the people <5971 <am >  [ there was ]  none with me : for I will tread <1869 darak > them in mine anger <0639 >aph > ,  and trample <7429 ramac > them in my fury <2534 chemah > ;  and their blood <5332 Netsach > shall be sprinkled <5137 nazah > upon my garments <0899 beged > ,  and I will stain <1351 ga>al > all <3605 kol > my raiment <4403 malbuwsh > .

 : 4 For the day <3117 yowm > of vengeance <5359 naqam >  [ is ]  in mine heart <3820 leb > ,  and the year <8141 shaneh > of my redeemed <1350 ga>al > is come <0935 bow> > .

 : 5 And I looked <5027 nabat > ,  and  [ there was ]  none <0369 >ayin > to help <5826 <azar > ;  and I wondered <8074 shamem > that  [ there was ]  none <0369 >ayin > to uphold <5564 camak > : therefore mine own arm <2220 z@rowa< > brought <3467 yasha< > salvation <3467 yasha< > unto me ;  and my fury <2534 chemah > ,  it upheld <5564 camak > me .

 : 6 And I will tread <0947 buwc > down the people <5971 <am > in mine anger <0639 >aph > ,  and make them drunk <7937 shakar > in my fury <2534 chemah > ,  and I will bring <3381 yarad > down their strength <5332 Netsach > to the earth <0776 >erets > .

 : 7 .  I will mention <2142 zakar > the lovingkindnesses <2617 checed > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ and ]  the praises <8416 t@hillah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  according <5921 <al > to all <3605 kol > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath bestowed <1580 gamal > on us ,  and the great <7227 rab > goodness <2898 tuwb > toward the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  which <0834 >aher > he hath bestowed <1580 gamal > on them according to his mercies <7356 racham > ,  and according to the multitude <7230 rob > of his lovingkindnesses <2617 checed > .

 : 8 For he said <0559 >amar > ,  Surely <0389 >ak > they  [ are ]  my people <5971 <am > ,  children <1121 ben >  [ that ]  will not lie <8266 shaqar > : so he was their Saviour <3467 yasha< > .

 : 9 In all <3605 kol > their affliction <6869 tsarah > he was afflicted <6862 tsar > ,  and the angel <4397 mal>ak > of his presence <6440 paniym > saved <3467 yasha< > them : in his love <0160 >ahabah > and in his pity <2551 chemlah > he redeemed <1350 ga>al > them ;  and he bare <5190 natal > them ,  and carried <5375 nasa> > them all <3605 kol > the days <3117 yowm > of old <5769 <owlam > .

 : 10 But they rebelled <4784 marah > ,  and vexed <6087 <atsab > his holy <6944 qodesh > Spirit <7307 ruwach > : therefore he was turned <2015 haphak > to be their enemy <0341 >oyeb > ,   [ and ]  he fought <3898 lacham > against them .

 : 11 Then he remembered <2142 zakar > the days <3117 yowm > of old <5769 <owlam > ,  Moses <4872 Mosheh > ,   [ and ]  his people <5971 <am > ,   [ saying ]  ,  Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  he that brought <5927 <alah > them up out of the sea <3220 yam > with the shepherd <7462 ra<ah > of his flock <6629 tso>n > ?  where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  he that put <7760 suwm > his holy <6944 qodesh > Spirit <7307 ruwach > within <7130 qereb > him ?

 : 12 That led <3212 yalak >  [ them ]  by the right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > with his glorious <8597 tiph>arah > arm <2220 z@rowa< > ,  dividing <1234 baqa< > the water <4325 mayim > before <6440 paniym > them ,  to make <6213 <asah > himself an everlasting <5769 <owlam > name <8034 shem > ?

 : 13 That led <3212 yalak > them through the deep <8415 t@howm > ,  as an horse <5483 cuwc > in the wilderness <4057 midbar > ,   [ that ]  they should not stumble <3782 kashal > ?

 : 14 As a beast <0929 b@hemah > goeth <3318 yatsa> > down <3381 yarad > into the valley <1237 biq<ah > ,  the Spirit <7307 ruwach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > caused him to rest <5117 nuwach > : so <3651 ken > didst thou lead <5090 nahag > thy people <5971 <am > ,  to make <6213 <asah > thyself a glorious <8597 tiph>arah > name <8034 shem > .

 : 15 .  Look <5027 nabat > down from heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > from the habitation <2073 z@buwl > of thy holiness <6944 qodesh > and of thy glory <8597 tiph>arah > : where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  thy zeal <7068 qin>ah > and thy strength <1369 g@buwrah > ,  the sounding <1995 hamown > of thy bowels <4578 me<ah > and of thy mercies <7356 racham > toward <0413 >el > me ?  are they restrained <0662 >aphaq > ?

 : 16 Doubtless <3588 kiy > thou  [ art ]  our father <1> ,  though <3588 kiy > Abraham <85> be ignorant of us ,  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > acknowledge <5234 nakar > us not : thou ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ art ]  our father <1> ,  our redeemer <1350 ga>al > ;  thy name <8034 shem >  [ is ]  from everlasting <5769 <owlam > .

 : 17 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  why <4100 mah > hast thou made us to err <8582 ta<ah > from thy ways <1870 derek > ,   [ and ]  hardened <7188 qashach > our heart <3820 leb > from thy fear <3374 yir>ah > ?  Return <7725 shuwb > for thy servants <5650 <ebed >  sake <4616 ma<an > ,  the tribes <7626 shebet > of thine inheritance <5159 nachalah > .

 : 18 The people <5971 <am > of thy holiness <6944 qodesh > have possessed <3423 yarash >  [ it ]  but a little <4705 mits<ar > while <4705 mits<ar > : our adversaries <6862 tsar > have trodden <0947 buwc > down thy sanctuary <4720 miqdash > .

 : 19 We are  [ thine ]  : thou never barest <4910 mashal > rule <4910 mashal > over them ;  they were not called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem > .

 : Isaiah 64

 : 1 .  Oh <3863 luw> > that thou wouldest rend <7167 qara< > the heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  that thou wouldest come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > ,  that the mountains <2022 har > might flow <2151 zalal > down at thy presence <6440 paniym > ,

 : 2 As  [ when ]  the melting <2003 hamac > fire <0784 >esh > burneth <6919 qadach > ,  the fire <0784 >esh > causeth the waters <4325 mayim > to boil <1158 ba<ah > ,  to make thy name <8034 shem > known <3045 yada< > to thine adversaries <6862 tsar > ,   [ that ]  the nations <1471 gowy > may tremble <7264 ragaz > at thy presence <6440 paniym > !

 : 3 When thou didst <6213 <asah > terrible <3372 yare> > things  [ which ]  we looked <6960 qavah > not for ,  thou camest <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > ,  the mountains <2022 har > flowed <2151 zalal > down at thy presence <6440 paniym > .

 : 4 For since the beginning <5769 <owlam > of the world <5769 <owlam >  [ men ]  have not heard <8085 shama< > ,  nor <3808 lo> > perceived <0238 >azan > by the ear <0238 >azan > ,  neither <3808 lo> > hath the eye <5869 <ayin > seen <7200 ra>ah > ,  O God <0430 >elohiym > ,  beside <2108 zuwlah > thee ,   [ what ]  he hath prepared <6213 <asah > for him that waiteth <2442 chakah > for him .

 : 5 Thou meetest <6293 paga< > him that rejoiceth <7797 suws > and worketh <6213 <asah > righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,   [ those that ]  remember <2142 zakar > thee in thy ways <1870 derek > : behold <2005 hen > ,  thou art wroth <7107 qatsaph > ;  for we have sinned <2398 chata> > : in those <1992 hem > is continuance <5769 <owlam > ,  and we shall be saved <3467 yasha< > .

 : 6 .  But we are all <3605 kol > as an unclean <2931 tame> >  [ thing ]  ,  and all <3605 kol > our righteousnesses <6666 ts@daqah >  [ are ]  as filthy <5708 <ed > rags <0899 beged > ;  and we all <3605 kol > do fade <5034 nabel > as a leaf <5929 <aleh > ;  and our iniquities <5771 <avon > ,  like the wind <7307 ruwach > ,  have taken <5375 nasa> > us away .

 : 7 And  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > that calleth <7121 qara> > upon thy name <8034 shem > ,  that stirreth <5782 <uwr > up himself to take <2388 chazaq > hold <2388 chazaq > of thee : for thou hast hid <5641 cathar > thy face <6440 paniym > from us ,  and hast consumed <4127 muwg > us ,  because <3027 yad > of our iniquities <5771 <avon > .

 : 8 But now <6258 <attah > ,  O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  thou  [ art ]  our father <1> ;  we  [ are ]  the clay <2563 chomer > ,  and thou our potter <3335 yatsar > ;  and we all <3605 kol >  [ are ]  the work <4639 ma<aseh > of thy hand <3027 yad > .
