Isaiah 56:9--57:21

All ye beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>_,
come
<0857> (8798)
to devour
<0398> (8800)_,
[yea], all ye beasts
<02416>
in the forest
<03293>_.
His watchmen
<06822> (8802)
[are] blind
<05787>_:
they are all ignorant
<03045> (8804)_,
they [are] all dumb
<0483>
dogs
<03611>_,
they cannot
<03201> (8799)
bark
<05024> (8800)_;
sleeping
<01957> (8802)_,
lying down
<07901> (8802)_,
loving
<0157> (8802)
to slumber
<05123> (8800)_.
{sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
Yea, [they are] greedy
<05794> <05315>
dogs
<03611>
[which] can
<03045> (8804)
never have
<03045> (8804)
enough
<07654>_,
and they [are] shepherds
<07462> (8802)
[that] cannot understand
<0995> (8687)_:
they all look
<06437> (8804)
to their own way
<01870>_,
every one
<0376>
for his gain
<01215>_,
from his quarter
<07097>_.
{greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can...: Heb. know not to be satisfied}
Come
<0857> (8798)
ye, [say they], I will fetch
<03947> (8799)
wine
<03196>_,
and we will fill
<05433> (8799)
ourselves with strong drink
<07941>_;
and to morrow
<04279>
shall be as this day
<03117>_,
[and] much
<03966>
more
<03499>
abundant
<01419>_.
The righteous
<06662>
perisheth
<06> (8804)_,
and no man
<0376>
layeth
<07760> (8802)
[it] to heart
<03820>_:
and merciful
<02617>
men
<0582>
[are] taken away
<0622> (8737)_,
none considering
<0995> (8688)
that the righteous
<06662>
is taken away
<0622> (8738)
from
<06440>
the evil
<07451>
[to come]. {merciful...: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from...: or, from that which is evil}
He shall enter
<0935> (8799)
into peace
<07965>_:
they shall rest
<05117> (8799)
in their beds
<04904>_,
[each one] walking
<01980> (8802)
[in] his uprightness
<05228>_.
{enter into: or, go in} {in his...: or, before him}
But draw near
<07126> (8798)
hither, ye sons
<01121>
of the sorceress
<06049> (8781)_,
the seed
<02233>
of the adulterer
<05003> (8764)
and the whore
<02181> (8799)_.
Against whom do ye sport
<06026> (8691)
yourselves? against whom make ye a wide
<07337> (8686)
mouth
<06310>_,
[and] draw out
<0748> (8686)
the tongue
<03956>_?
[are] ye not children
<03206>
of transgression
<06588>_,
a seed
<02233>
of falsehood
<08267>_,
Enflaming
<02552> (8737)
yourselves with idols
<0410>
under every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>_,
slaying
<07819> (8802)
the children
<03206>
in the valleys
<05158>
under the clifts
<05585>
of the rocks
<05553>_?
{with...: or, among the oaks}
Among the smooth
<02511>
[stones] of the stream
<05158>
[is] thy portion
<02506>_;
they, they [are] thy lot
<01486>_:
even to them hast thou poured
<08210> (8804)
a drink offering
<05262>_,
thou hast offered
<05927> (8689)
a meat offering
<04503>_.
Should I receive comfort
<05162> (8735)
in these?
Upon a lofty
<01364>
and high
<05375> (8737)
mountain
<02022>
hast thou set
<07760> (8804)
thy bed
<04904>_:
even thither wentest thou up
<05927> (8804)
to offer
<02076> (8800)
sacrifice
<02077>_.
Behind
<0310>
the doors
<01817>
also and the posts
<04201>
hast thou set up
<07760> (8804)
thy remembrance
<02146>_:
for thou hast discovered
<01540> (8765)
[thyself to another] than me, and art gone up
<05927> (8799)_;
thou hast enlarged
<07337> (8689)
thy bed
<04904>_,
and made
<03772> (8799)
thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst
<0157> (8804)
their bed
<04904>
where
<03027>
thou sawest
<02372> (8804)
[it]. {made...: or, hewed it for thyself larger than theirs} {where...: or, thou providedst room}
And thou wentest
<07788> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
with ointment
<08081>_,
and didst increase
<07235> (8686)
thy perfumes
<07547>_,
and didst send
<07971> (8762)
thy messengers
<06735>
far off
<07350>_,
and didst debase
<08213> (8686)
[thyself even] unto hell
<07585>_.
{thou...: or, thou respectedst}
Thou art wearied
<03021> (8804)
in the greatness
<07230>
of thy way
<01870>_;
[yet] saidst
<0559> (8804)
thou not, There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:
thou hast found
<04672> (8804)
the life
<02416>
of thine hand
<03027>_;
therefore thou wast not grieved
<02470> (8804)_.
{life: or, living}
And of whom hast thou been afraid
<01672> (8804)
or feared
<03372> (8799)_,
that thou hast lied
<03576> (8762)_,
and hast not remembered
<02142> (8804)
me, nor laid
<07760> (8804)
[it] to thy heart
<03820>_?
have not I held my peace
<02814> (8688)
even of old
<05769>_,
and thou fearest
<03372> (8799)
me not?
I will declare
<05046> (8686)
thy righteousness
<06666>_,
and thy works
<04639>_;
for they shall not profit
<03276> (8686)
thee.
When thou criest
<02199> (8800)_,
let thy companies
<06899>
deliver
<05337> (8686)
thee; but the wind
<07307>
shall carry them all away
<05375> (8799)_;
vanity
<01892>
shall take
<03947> (8799)
[them]: but he that putteth his trust
<02620> (8802)
in me shall possess
<05157> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and shall inherit
<03423> (8799)
my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_;
And shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
Cast ye up
<05549> (8798)_,
cast ye up
<05549> (8798)_,
prepare
<06437> (8761)
the way
<01870>_,
take up
<07311> (8685)
the stumblingblock
<04383>
out of the way
<01870>
of my people
<05971>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the high
<07311> (8802)
and lofty One
<05375> (8737)
that inhabiteth
<07931> (8802)
eternity
<05703>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] Holy
<06918>_;
I dwell
<07931> (8799)
in the high
<04791>
and holy
<06918>
[place], with him also [that is] of a contrite
<01793>
and humble
<08217>
spirit
<07307>_,
to revive
<02421> (8687)
the spirit
<07307>
of the humble
<08217>_,
and to revive
<02421> (8687)
the heart
<03820>
of the contrite ones
<01792> (8737)_.
For I will not contend
<07378> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_,
neither will I be always
<05331>
wroth
<07107> (8799)_:
for the spirit
<07307>
should fail
<05848> (8799)
before
<06440>
me, and the souls
<05397>
[which] I have made
<06213> (8804)_.
For the iniquity
<05771>
of his covetousness
<01215>
was I wroth
<07107> (8804)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
him: I hid
<05641> (8687)
me, and was wroth
<07107> (8799)_,
and he went on
<03212> (8799)
frowardly
<07726>
in the way
<01870>
of his heart
<03820>_.
{frowardly: Heb. turning away}
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
his ways
<01870>_,
and will heal
<07495> (8799)
him: I will lead
<05148> (8686)
him also, and restore
<07999> (8762)
comforts
<05150>
unto him and to his mourners
<057>_.
I create
<01254> (8802)
the fruit
<05108>
of the lips
<08193>_;
Peace
<07965>_,
peace
<07965>
to [him that is] far off
<07350>_,
and to [him that is] near
<07138>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and I will heal
<07495> (8804)
him.
But the wicked
<07563>
[are] like the troubled
<01644> (8737)
sea
<03220>_,
when it cannot
<03201> (8799)
rest
<08252> (8687)_,
whose waters
<04325>
cast up
<01644> (8799)
mire
<07516>
and dirt
<02916>_.
[There is] no peace
<07965>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
my God
<0430>_,
to the wicked
<07563>_.
