| 5:6 |
Andand I will lay it waste:; it shall not be pruned nor diggedhoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it |
| 5:7 |
For the vineyard of theJehovah Lord of hosts is the house of Israel and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgmentjustice but behold oppression; for righteousness but behold a cry |

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple |
| 6:2 |
Above ithim stood the seraphimsseraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face and with twain he covered his feet and with twain he did fly |
| 6:3 |
And one cried unto another and said Holy holy holy is theJehovah Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory |
| 6:4 |
And the postsfoundations of the doorthresholds movedshook at the voice of him that cried and the house was filled with smoke |
| 6:5 |
Then said I Woe is me for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King theJehovah Lord of hosts |
| 6:6 |
Then flew one of the seraphimsseraphim unto me having a live coal in his hand which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: |
| 6:7 |
Andand he laidtouched it upon my mouth with it and said Lo this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away and thy sin purgedforgiven |
| 6:8 |
AlsoAnd I heard the voice of the Lord saying Whom shall I send and who will go for us Then I said I Here am I; send me |
| 6:10 |
Make the heart of this people fat and make their ears heavy and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and convertturn again and be healed |
| 6:11 |
Then said I Lord how long And he answered Until the cities be wastedwaste without inhabitant and the houses without man and the land bebecome utterly desolatewaste |
| 6:12 |
Andand theJehovah Lord have removed men far away and therethe beforsaken aplaces greatbe forsakingmany in the midst of the land |

ButAnd yetif inthere itbe shallyet be a tenth andin it it also shall returnin andturn shall be eaten up: as a teilterebinth tree and as an oak whose substancestock isremaineth in them when they castare theirfelled; leaves: so the holy seed shallis be the substancestock thereof |
| 7:1 |
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah that Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel went up towardto Jerusalem to war against it but could not prevail against it |
| 7:2 |
And it was told the house of David saying Syria is confederate with Ephraim And his heart wastrembled moved and the heart of his people as the trees of the woodforest aretremble moved with the wind |
| 7:3 |
Then said theJehovah Lord unto Isaiah Go forth now to meet Ahaz thou and ShearjashubShear jashub thy son at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fullers field; |
| 7:4 |
Andand say unto him Take heed and be quiet; fear not neither let thy heart be faintheartedfaint forbecause theof these two tails of these smoking firebrands for the fierce anger of Rezin withand Syria and of the son of Remaliah |
| 7:5 |
Because Syria Ephraim and the son of Remaliah have takenpurposed evil counsel against thee saying |
| 7:6 |
Let us go up against Judah and vex it and let us make a breach therein for us and set up a king in the midst of it even the son of Tabeal:Tabeel; |
| 7:7 |
Thusthus saith the Lord GodJehovah It shall not stand neither shall it come to pass |
| 7:8 |
For the head of Syria is Damascus and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken in pieces so that it beshall not be a people: |
| 7:9 |
Andand the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is Remaliahs son If ye will not believe surely ye shall not be established |
| 7:10 |
MoreoverAnd theJehovah Lord spake again unto Ahaz saying |
| 7:11 |
Ask thee a sign of theJehovah Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above |
| 7:12 |
But Ahaz said I will not ask neither will I tempt theJehovah Lord |
| 7:13 |
And he said Hear ye now O house of David;: Is it a small thing for you to weary men butthat ye will ye weary my God also |
| 7:14 |
Therefore the Lord himself shallwill give you a sign;: Beholdbehold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel |
| 7:15 |
Butter and honey shall he eat thatwhen he mayknoweth know to refuse the evil and choose the good |
| 7:16 |
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good the land thatwhose two kings thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings |
| 7:17 |
TheJehovah Lordwill shall bring upon thee and upon thy people and upon thy fathers house days that have not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; —even the king of Assyria |
| 7:18 |
And it shall come to pass in that day that theJehovah Lordwill shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria |
| 7:19 |
And they shall come and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys and in the holesclefts of the rocks and upon all thornsthorn hedges and upon all bushespastures |
| 7:20 |
In thethat same day shallwill the Lord shave with a razor that is hired namelyin bythe themparts beyond the riverRiver byeven with the king of Assyria the head and the hair of the feet:; and it shall also consume the beard |
| 7:21 |
And it shall come to pass in that day that a man shall nourishkeep alive a young cow and two sheep; |
| 7:22 |
Andand it shall come to pass forthat because of the abundance of milk thatwhich they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land |
| 7:23 |
And it shall come to pass in that day that every place shall be where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings it shall even be for briers and thorns |
| 7:24 |
With arrows and with bowsbow shall menone come thither; because all the land shall becomebe briers and thorns |
| 7:25 |
And on all the hills that shallwere be digged with the mattock therethou shallshalt not come thither thefor fear of briers and thorns:; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen and for the treading of lesser cattlesheep |
| 8:1 |
MoreoverAnd theJehovah Lord said unto me Take thee a great rolltablet and write inupon it with the pen of a mansman penFor concerningMaher Mahershalalhashbazshalal hash baz; |
| 8:2 |
Andand I tookwill take unto me faithful witnesses to record Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah |
| 8:3 |
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived and bare a son Then said theJehovah Lordunto to me Call his name MahershalalhashbazMaher shalal hash baz |
| 8:4 |
For before the child shall have knowledge to cry My father and myMy mother the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be takencarried away before the king of Assyria |
| 8:5 |
TheAnd LordJehovah spake also unto me yet again saying |
| 8:6 |
Forasmuch as this people refusethhave refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliahs son; |
| 8:7 |
Nownow therefore behold the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the riverRiver strong and many even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and heit shall come up over all hisits channels and go over all hisits banks:; |
| 8:8 |
Andand heit shall passsweep throughonward into Judah; heit shall overflow and gopass overthrough; heit shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of hisits wings shall fill the breadth of thy land O Immanuel |
| 8:9 |
AssociateMake yourselvesan uproar O ye peoplepeoples and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear all ye of far countries: gird yourselves and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves and ye shall be broken in pieces |
| 8:10 |
Take counsel together and it shall comebe brought to nought; speak the word and it shall not stand: for God is with us |
| 8:11 |
For theJehovah Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand and instructed me thatnot Ito should not walk in the way of this people saying |
| 8:12 |
Say ye not A confederacyconspiracy toconcerning all themwhereof to whom this people shall say A confederacyconspiracy; neither fear ye their fear nor be afraidin dread thereof |
| 8:13 |
SanctifyJehovah the Lord of hosts himselfhim shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear and let him be your dread |
| 8:15 |
And many among them shall stumble thereon and fall and be broken and be snared and be taken |
| 8:16 |
Bind thou up the testimony seal the law among my disciples |
| 8:17 |
And I will wait uponfor theJehovah Lord that hideth his face from the house of Jacob and I will look for him |
| 8:18 |
Behold I and the children whom theJehovah Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from theJehovah Lord of hosts whichwho dwelleth in mount Zion |
| 8:19 |
And when they shall say unto you Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards that peepchirp and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God foron behalf of the living toshould they seek unto the dead |
| 8:20 |
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word itsurely is because there is no lightmorning infor them |
| 8:21 |
And they shall pass through it hardlysore besteaddistressed and hungry:; and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry they shall fret themselves and curse by their king and by their God and lookturn their faces upward: |
| 8:22 |
Andand they shall look unto the earth; and behold troubledistress and darkness dimnessthe gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness they shall be driven to darknessaway |
| 9:1 |
NeverthelessBut thethere dimness shall not be suchno asgloom to her that was in heranguish vexationIn whenthe atformer thetime first he lightlybrought afflictedinto contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; andbut afterwardin didthe morelatter grievouslytime afflicthath herhe made it glorious by the way of the sea beyond the Jordan in Galilee of the nations |
| 9:2 |
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelldwelt in the land of the shadow of death upon them hath the light shined |
| 9:3 |
Thou hast multiplied the nation andthou nothast increased thetheir joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil |
| 9:4 |
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder the rod of his oppressor thou hast broken as in the day of Midian |
| 9:5 |
For everyall battlethe armor of the warriorarmed isman within confusedthe noisetumult and the garments rolled in blood; but this shall be withfor burning andfor fuel of fire |
| 9:6 |
For unto us a child is born unto us a son is given:; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor TheMighty mighty God TheEverlasting everlasting Father The Prince of Peace |
| 9:7 |
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to orderestablish it and to establishuphold it with judgmentjustice and with justicerighteousness from henceforth even for ever The zeal of theJehovah Lord of hosts will perform this |
| 9:9 |
And all the people shall know even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria that say in the pride and in stoutness of heart |
| 9:10 |
The bricks are fallen down but we will build with hewn stones:stone; the sycomores are cut down but we will changeput themcedars intoin cedarstheir place |
| 9:11 |
Therefore theJehovah Lordwill shall set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin againstand himwill andstir joinup his enemies together; |
| 9:12 |
Thethe Syrians before and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth For all this his anger is not turned away but his hand is stretched out still |
| 9:13 |
ForYet the people turnethhave not turned unto him that smitethsmote them neither dohave they seeksought theJehovah Lord of hosts |
| 9:14 |
Therefore theJehovah Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail palm branch and rush in one day |
| 9:15 |
The ancientelder and honourablethe honorable man he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies he is the tail |
| 9:16 |
For thethey leadersthat oflead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed |
| 9:17 |
Therefore the Lord shallwill havenot norejoice joyover in their young men neither shallwill he have mercycompassion on their fatherless and widows:; for every one is anprofane hypocrite and an evildoerevil doer and every mouth speaketh folly For all this his anger is not turned away but his hand is stretched out still |
| 9:18 |
For wickedness burneth as the fire:; it shalldevoureth devour the briers and thorns; andyea shallit kindlekindleth in the thickets of the forest and they shallroll mountupward upin likea thecolumn lifting up of smoke |
| 9:19 |

Soso shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they considerunderstand |
| 53:1 |
Who hath believed our reportmessage and to whom ishath the arm of theJehovah Lordbeen revealed |
| 53:2 |
For he shallgrew grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him there is no beauty that we should desire him |
| 53:3 |
He iswas despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief: and weas hidone asfrom itwhom weremen ourhide facestheir fromface him; he was despised; and we esteemed him not |
| 53:4 |
Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows:; yet we did esteem him stricken smitten of God and afflicted |
| 53:5 |
But he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities:; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed |
| 53:6 |
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and theJehovah Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all |
| 53:7 |
He was oppressed andyet when he was afflicted yet he opened not his mouth:; he is brought as a lamb that is led to the slaughter and as a sheep that before herits shearers is dumb so he openethopened not his mouth |
| 53:8 |
HeBy oppression and judgment he was taken fromaway; prison and fromas judgment:for andhis generation who shallamong declarethem hisconsidered generationthat for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was hedue stricken |
| 53:9 |
And hethey made his grave with the wicked and with thea rich man in his death; becausealthough he had done no violence neither was any deceit in his mouth |
| 53:10 |
Yet it pleased theJehovah Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin he shall see his seed he shall prolong his days and the pleasure of theJehovah Lord shall prosper in his hand |
| 53:11 |
He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied: by histhe knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; forand he shall bear their iniquities |
| 53:12 |
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors;: andyet he bare the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors |
| 54:1 |
Sing O barren thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife saith theJehovah Lord |

| 54:10 |
For the mountains shallmay depart and the hills be removed; but my kindnesslovingkindness shall not depart from thee neither shall themy covenant of my peace be removed saith theJehovah Lord that hath mercy on thee |
| 54:11 |

| 54:12 |
And I will make thy windowspinnacles of agatesrubies and thy gates of carbuncles and all thy bordersborder of pleasantprecious stones |
| 54:13 |
And all thy children shall be taught of the LordJehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children |
| 54:14 |
In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear:; and from terror; for it shall not come near thee |
| 54:15 |
Behold they shallmay surely gather together but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall forbecause thyof sakethee |
| 54:16 |
Behold I have created the smith that bloweth the coalsfire inof thecoals fire and that bringeth forth ana instrumentweapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy |
| 54:17 |
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn This is the heritage of the servants of theJehovah Lord and their righteousness which is of me saith the LordJehovah |
| 55:2 |
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread and your labourlabor for that which satisfieth not hearken diligently unto me and eat ye that which is good and let your soul delight itself in fatness |
| 55:3 |
Incline your ear and come unto me:; hear and your soul shall live;: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you even the sure mercies of David |
| 55:4 |
Behold I have given him for a witness to the peoplepeoples a leader and commander to the peoplepeoples |

Behold thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not; and nationsa nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of theJehovah Lord thy God and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee |
| 55:6 |
Seek ye theJehovah Lord while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near: |
| 55:7 |
Letlet the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts:; and let him return unto theJehovah Lord and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God for he will abundantly pardon |
| 55:8 |
For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways saith theJehovah Lord |

BehindAnd behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrancememorial: for thou hast discovereduncovered thyself to another than me and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed and made thee a covenant with them;: thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it |
| 57:9 |
And thou wentest to the king with ointmentoil and didst increase thy perfumes and didst send thythine messengersambassadors far off and didst debase thyself even unto hellSheol |

| 57:16 |
For I will not contend for ever neither will I be always wroth:; for the spirit shouldwould failfaint before me and the souls whichthat I have made |

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him:; I hid memy face and was wroth; and he went on frowardlybacksliding in the way of his heart |
| 57:19 |
I create the fruit of the lips;: Peace peace to him that is far off and to him that is near saith the LordJehovah; and I will heal him |

But the wicked are like the troubled sea; whenfor it cannot rest whoseand its waters cast up mire and dirt |
| 58:1 |
Cry aloud spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet and shewdeclare unto my people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins |
| 58:2 |
Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me therighteous ordinances of justicejudgments; they take delight into approachingdraw tonear unto God |
| 58:3 |
Wherefore have we fasted say they and thou seest not wherefore have we afflicted our soul and thou takest no knowledge Behold in the day of your fast ye find your own pleasure and exact all your labourslabors |
| 58:4 |
Behold ye fast for strife and debatecontention and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shallfast not fastthis asday yeso doas this day to make your voice to be heard on high |
| 58:5 |
Is it such athe fast that I have chosen athe day for a man to afflict his soul isIs it to bow down his head as a bulrushrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him wilt thou call this a fast and an acceptable day to theJehovah Lord |
| 58:6 |
Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bandsbonds of wickedness to undo the heavybands burdensof the yoke and to let the oppressed go free and that ye break every yoke |
| 58:8 |
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning and thinethy healthhealing shall spring forth speedily:; and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of theJehovah Lord shall be thy rewardrearward |
| 58:9 |
Then shalt thou call and theJehovah Lordwill shall answer; thou shalt cry and he shallwill say Here I am If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke the putting forth of the finger and speaking vanitywickedly; |
| 58:10 |
Andand if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul;: then shall thy light rise in obscuritydarkness and thythine darknessobscurity be as the noonnoonday; day: |
| 58:11 |
Andand theJehovah Lordwill shall guide thee continually and satisfy thy soul in droughtdry places and make fatstrong thy bones:; and thou shalt be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not |
| 58:12 |
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places:; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach The restorer of paths to dwell in |
| 58:13 |
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight and the holy of theJehovah Lord honourablehonorable; and shalt honourhonor himit not doing thine own ways nor finding thine own pleasure nor speaking thine own words: |
| 58:14 |
Thenthen shalt thou delight thyself in the LordJehovah; and I will causemake thee to ride upon the high places of the earth; and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of theJehovah Lord hath spoken it |
| 59:1 |
Behold theJehovahs Lords hand is not shortened that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear: |
| 59:2 |
Butbut your iniquities have separated between you and your God and your sins have hid his face from you so that he will not hear |
| 59:3 |
For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies your tongue hathmuttereth mutteredwickedness perverseness |
| 59:4 |
None callethsueth forin justicerighteousness norand anynone pleadeth forin truth: they trust in vanity and speak lies; they conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity |
| 59:5 |
They hatch cockatriceadders eggs and weave the spiders web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper |
| 59:7 |
Their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wastingdesolation and destruction are in their paths |
| 59:8 |
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgmentjustice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths:; whosoever goeth therein shalldoth not know peace |
| 59:9 |
Therefore is judgmentjustice far from us neither doth justicerighteousness overtake us: we waitlook for light but behold obscuritydarkness; for brightness but we walk in darknessobscurity |
| 59:10 |
We grope for the wall like the blind; andyea we grope as ifthey wethat hadhave no eyes: we stumble at noonnoonday day as in the nighttwilight; weamong them that are inlusty desolatewe placesare as dead men |
| 59:11 |
We roar all like bears and mournmoan sore like doves: we look for judgmentjustice but there is none; for salvation but it is far off from us |
| 59:12 |
For our transgressions are multiplied before thee and our sins testify against us:; for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities we know them;: |
| 59:13 |
In transgressing and lyingdenying againstJehovah the Lord and departingturning away from following our God speaking oppression and revolt conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood |
| 59:14 |
And judgmentjustice is turned away backward and justicerighteousness standeth afar off:; for truth is fallen in the street and equityuprightness cannot enter |
| 59:15 |
Yea truth failethis lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: andAnd theJehovah Lord saw it and it displeased him that there was no judgmentjustice |
| 59:16 |
And he saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness it sustainedupheld him |
| 59:17 |
ForAnd he put on righteousness as a breastplate and ana helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a cloakmantle |
| 59:18 |
According to their deeds accordingly he will repay furywrath to his adversaries recompencerecompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompencerecompense |
| 59:19 |
So shall they fear the name of theJehovah Lord from the west and his glory from the rising of the sun; Whenfor thehe enemywill shall come inas like a floodrushing thestream Spiritwhich of the Lordbreath shallof liftJehovah updriveth a standard against him |
| 59:20 |
