1:30 For you will be like a tree whose leaves wither,
like an orchard that is unwatered.
5:3 So now, residents of Jerusalem,
people of Judah,
you decide between me and my vineyard!
14:9 Sheol below is stirred up about you,
ready to meet you when you arrive.
It rouses the spirits of the dead for you,
all the former leaders of the earth;
it makes all the former kings of the nations
rise from their thrones.
14:15 But you were brought down to Sheol,
to the remote slopes of the pit.
24:17 Terror, pit, and snare
are ready to overtake you inhabitants of the earth!
26:16 O Lord, in distress they looked for you;
they uttered incantations because of your discipline.
29:4 You will fall;
while lying on the ground you will speak;
from the dust where you lie, your words will be heard.
Your voice will sound like a spirit speaking from the underworld;
from the dust you will chirp as if muttering an incantation.
40:25 “To whom can you compare me? Whom do I resemble?”
says the Holy One.
41:8 “You, my servant Israel,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
offspring of Abraham my friend,
42:23 Who among you will pay attention to this?
Who will listen attentively in the future?
45:15 Yes, you are a God who keeps hidden,
O God of Israel, deliverer!
49:3 He said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, through whom I will reveal my splendor.”
49:8 This is what the Lord says:
“At the time I decide to show my favor, I will respond to you;
in the day of deliverance I will help you;
I will protect you and make you a covenant mediator for people,
to rebuild the land
and to reassign the desolate property.
49:17 Your children hurry back,
while those who destroyed and devastated you depart.
58:13 You must observe the Sabbath
rather than doing anything you please on my holy day.
You must look forward to the Sabbath
and treat the Lord’s holy day with respect.
You must treat it with respect by refraining from your normal activities,
and by refraining from your selfish pursuits and from making business deals.
60:1 “Arise! Shine! For your light arrives!
The splendor of the Lord shines on you!
60:17 Instead of bronze, I will bring you gold,
instead of iron, I will bring you silver,
instead of wood, I will bring you bronze,
instead of stones, I will bring you iron.
I will make prosperity your overseer,
and vindication your sovereign ruler.
