Isaiah 60:1--66:24

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
shine
<0215> (8798)_;
for thy light
<0216>
is come
<0935> (8804)_,
and the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
is risen
<02224> (8804)
upon thee. {shine...: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh}
For, behold, the darkness
<02822>
shall cover
<03680> (8762)
the earth
<0776>_,
and gross darkness
<06205>
the people
<03816>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
shall arise
<02224> (8799)
upon thee, and his glory
<03519>
shall be seen
<07200> (8735)
upon thee.
And the Gentiles
<01471>
shall come
<01980> (8804)
to thy light
<0216>_,
and kings
<04428>
to the brightness
<05051>
of thy rising
<02225>_.
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>
round about
<05439>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)_:
all they gather themselves together
<06908> (8738)_,
they come
<0935> (8804)
to thee: thy sons
<01121>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
from far
<07350>_,
and thy daughters
<01323>
shall be nursed
<0539> (8735)
at [thy] side
<06654>_.
Then thou shalt see
<07200> (8799) (8675) <03372> (8799)_,
and flow together
<05102> (8804)_,
and thine heart
<03824>
shall fear
<06342> (8804)_,
and be enlarged
<07337> (8804)_;
because the abundance
<01995>
of the sea
<03220>
shall be converted
<02015> (8735)
unto thee, the forces
<02428>
of the Gentiles
<01471>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee. {abundance...: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward thee} {forces: or, wealth}
The multitude
<08229>
of camels
<01581>
shall cover
<03680> (8762)
thee, the dromedaries
<01070>
of Midian
<04080>
and Ephah
<05891>_;
all they from Sheba
<07614>
shall come
<0935> (8799)_:
they shall bring
<05375> (8799)
gold
<02091>
and incense
<03828>_;
and they shall shew forth
<01319> (8762)
the praises
<08416>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
All the flocks
<06629>
of Kedar
<06938>
shall be gathered together
<06908> (8735)
unto thee, the rams
<0352>
of Nebaioth
<05032>
shall minister
<08334> (8762)
unto thee: they shall come up
<05927> (8799)
with acceptance
<07522>
on mine altar
<04196>_,
and I will glorify
<06286> (8762)
the house
<01004>
of my glory
<08597>_.
Who [are] these [that] fly
<05774> (8799)
as a cloud
<05645>_,
and as the doves
<03123>
to their windows
<0699>_?
Surely the isles
<0339>
shall wait
<06960> (8762)
for me, and the ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>
first
<07223>_,
to bring
<0935> (8687)
thy sons
<01121>
from far
<07350>_,
their silver
<03701>
and their gold
<02091>
with them, unto the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
and to the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_,
because he hath glorified
<06286> (8765)
thee.
And the sons
<01121>
of strangers
<05236>
shall build up
<01129> (8804)
thy walls
<02346>_,
and their kings
<04428>
shall minister
<08334> (8762)
unto thee: for in my wrath
<07110>
I smote
<05221> (8689)
thee, but in my favour
<07522>
have I had mercy
<07355> (8765)
on thee.
Therefore thy gates
<08179>
shall be open
<06605> (8765)
continually
<08548>_;
they shall not be shut
<05462> (8735)
day
<03119>
nor night
<03915>_;
that [men] may bring
<0935> (8687)
unto thee the forces
<02428>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and [that] their kings
<04428>
[may be] brought
<05090> (8803)_.
{forces: or, wealth}
For the nation
<01471>
and kingdom
<04467>
that will not serve
<05647> (8799)
thee shall perish
<06> (8799)_;
yea, [those] nations
<01471>
shall be utterly
<02717> (8800)
wasted
<02717> (8799)_.
The glory
<03519>
of Lebanon
<03844>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee, the fir tree
<01265>_,
the pine tree
<08410>_,
and the box
<08391>
together
<03162>_,
to beautify
<06286> (8763)
the place
<04725>
of my sanctuary
<04720>_;
and I will make the place
<04725>
of my feet
<07272>
glorious
<03513> (8762)_.
The sons
<01121>
also of them that afflicted
<06031> (8764)
thee shall come
<01980> (8804)
bending
<07817> (8800)
unto thee; and all they that despised
<05006> (8764)
thee shall bow themselves down
<07812> (8694)
at the soles
<03709>
of thy feet
<07272>_;
and they shall call
<07121> (8804)
thee, The city
<05892>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
The Zion
<06726>
of the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Whereas
<08478>
thou hast been forsaken
<05800> (8803)
and hated
<08130> (8803)_,
so that no man went through
<05674> (8802)
[thee], I will make
<07760> (8804)
thee an eternal
<05769>
excellency
<01347>_,
a joy
<04885>
of many
<01755>
generations
<01755>_.
Thou shalt also suck
<03243> (8804)
the milk
<02461>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and shalt suck
<03243> (8799)
the breast
<07699>
of kings
<04428>_:
and thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)
that I the LORD
<03068>
[am] thy Saviour
<03467> (8688)
and thy Redeemer
<01350> (8802)_,
the mighty One
<046>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
For brass
<05178>
I will bring
<0935> (8686)
gold
<02091>_,
and for iron
<01270>
I will bring
<0935> (8686)
silver
<03701>_,
and for wood
<06086>
brass
<05178>_,
and for stones
<068>
iron
<01270>_:
I will also make
<07760> (8804)
thy officers
<06486>
peace
<07965>_,
and thine exactors
<05065> (8802)
righteousness
<06666>_.
Violence
<02555>
shall no more be heard
<08085> (8735)
in thy land
<0776>_,
wasting
<07701>
nor destruction
<07667>
within thy borders
<01366>_;
but thou shalt call
<07121> (8804)
thy walls
<02346>
Salvation
<03444>_,
and thy gates
<08179>
Praise
<08416>_.
The sun
<08121>
shall be no more thy light
<0216>
by day
<03119>_;
neither for brightness
<05051>
shall the moon
<03394>
give light
<0216>
unto thee: but the LORD
<03068>
shall be unto thee an everlasting
<05769>
light
<0215> (8686)_,
and thy God
<0430>
thy glory
<08597>_.
Thy sun
<08121>
shall no more go down
<0935> (8799)_;
neither shall thy moon
<03391>
withdraw
<0622> (8735)
itself: for the LORD
<03068>
shall be thine everlasting
<05769>
light
<0216>_,
and the days
<03117>
of thy mourning
<060>
shall be ended
<07999> (8804)_.
Thy people
<05971>
also [shall be] all righteous
<06662>_:
they shall inherit
<03423> (8799)
the land
<0776>
for ever
<05769>_,
the branch
<05342>
of my planting
<04302>_,
the work
<04639>
of my hands
<03027>_,
that I may be glorified
<06286> (8692)_.
A little one
<06996>
shall become a thousand
<0505>_,
and a small one
<06810>
a strong
<06099>
nation
<01471>_:
I the LORD
<03068>
will hasten
<02363> (8686)
it in his time
<06256>_.
The Spirit
<07307>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
[is] upon me; because the LORD
<03068>
hath anointed
<04886> (8804)
me to preach good tidings
<01319> (8763)
unto the meek
<06035>_;
he hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to bind up
<02280> (8800)
the brokenhearted
<07665> (8737) <03820>_,
to proclaim
<07121> (8800)
liberty
<01865>
to the captives
<07617> (8803)_,
and the opening of the prison
<06495>
to [them that are] bound
<0631> (8803)_;
To proclaim
<07121> (8800)
the acceptable
<07522>
year
<08141>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the day
<03117>
of vengeance
<05359>
of our God
<0430>_;
to comfort
<05162> (8763)
all that mourn
<057>_;
To appoint
<07760> (8800)
unto them that mourn
<057>
in Zion
<06726>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
unto them beauty
<06287>
for ashes
<0665>_,
the oil
<08081>
of joy
<08342>
for mourning
<060>_,
the garment
<04594>
of praise
<08416>
for the spirit
<07307>
of heaviness
<03544>_;
that they might be called
<07121> (8795)
trees
<0352>
of righteousness
<06664>_,
the planting
<04302>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he might be glorified
<06286> (8692)_.
And they shall build
<01129> (8804)
the old
<05769>
wastes
<02723>_,
they shall raise up
<06965> (8787)
the former
<07223>
desolations
<08074> (8802)_,
and they shall repair
<02318> (8765)
the waste
<02721>
cities
<05892>_,
the desolations
<08074> (8802)
of many
<01755>
generations
<01755>_.
And strangers
<02114> (8801)
shall stand
<05975> (8804)
and feed
<07462> (8804)
your flocks
<06629>_,
and the sons
<01121>
of the alien
<05236>
[shall be] your plowmen
<0406>
and your vinedressers
<03755>_.
But ye shall be named
<07121> (8735)
the Priests
<03548>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
[men] shall call
<0559> (8735)
you the Ministers
<08334> (8764)
of our God
<0430>_:
ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)
the riches
<02428>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and in their glory
<03519>
shall ye boast
<03235> (8691)
yourselves.
For your shame
<01322>
[ye shall have] double
<04932>_;
and [for] confusion
<03639>
they shall rejoice
<07442> (8799)
in their portion
<02506>_:
therefore in their land
<0776>
they shall possess
<03423> (8799)
the double
<04932>_:
everlasting
<05769>
joy
<08057>
shall be unto them.
For I the LORD
<03068>
love
<0157> (8802)
judgment
<04941>_,
I hate
<08130> (8802)
robbery
<01498>
for burnt offering
<05930>_;
and I will direct
<05414> (8804)
their work
<06468>
in truth
<0571>_,
and I will make
<03772> (8799)
an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>
with them.
And their seed
<02233>
shall be known
<03045> (8738)
among the Gentiles
<01471>_,
and their offspring
<06631>
among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_:
all that see
<07200> (8802)
them shall acknowledge
<05234> (8686)
them, that they [are] the seed
<02233>
[which] the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)_.
I will greatly
<07797> (8800)
rejoice
<07797> (8799)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
my soul
<05315>
shall be joyful
<01523> (8799)
in my God
<0430>_;
for he hath clothed
<03847> (8689)
me with the garments
<0899>
of salvation
<03468>_,
he hath covered
<03271> (8804)
me with the robe
<04598>
of righteousness
<06666>_,
as a bridegroom
<02860>
decketh
<03547> (8762)
[himself] with ornaments
<06287>_,
and as a bride
<03618>
adorneth
<05710> (8799)
[herself] with her jewels
<03627>_.
{decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest}
For as the earth
<0776>
bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)
her bud
<06780>_,
and as the garden
<01593>
causeth the things that are sown
<02221>
in it to spring forth
<06779> (8686)_;
so the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
will cause righteousness
<06666>
and praise
<08416>
to spring forth
<06779> (8686)
before all the nations
<01471>_.
For Zion's
<06726>
sake will I not hold my peace
<02814> (8799)_,
and for Jerusalem's
<03389>
sake I will not rest
<08252> (8799)_,
until the righteousness
<06664>
thereof go forth
<03318> (8799)
as brightness
<05051>_,
and the salvation
<03444>
thereof as a lamp
<03940>
[that] burneth
<01197> (8799)_.
And the Gentiles
<01471>
shall see
<07200> (8804)
thy righteousness
<06664>_,
and all kings
<04428>
thy glory
<03519>_:
and thou shalt be called
<07121> (8795)
by a new
<02319>
name
<05344> (8799)_,
which the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall name
<08034>_.
Thou shalt also be a crown
<05850>
of glory
<08597>
in the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and a royal
<04410>
diadem
<06797> (8675) <06797>
in the hand
<03709>
of thy God
<0430>_.
Thou shalt no more be termed
<0559> (8735)
Forsaken
<05800> (8803)_;
neither shall thy land
<0776>
any more be termed
<0559> (8735)
Desolate
<08077>_:
but thou shalt be called
<07121> (8735)
Hephzibah
<02657>_,
and thy land
<0776>
Beulah
<01166> (8803)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
delighteth
<02654> (8804)
in thee, and thy land
<0776>
shall be married
<01166> (8735)_.
{Hephzibah: that is, My delight is in her} {Beulah: that is, Married}
For [as] a young man
<0970>
marrieth
<01166> (8799)
a virgin
<01330>_,
[so] shall thy sons
<01121>
marry
<01166> (8799)
thee: and [as] the bridegroom
<02860>
rejoiceth
<04885>
over the bride
<03618>_,
[so] shall thy God
<0430>
rejoice
<07797> (8799)
over thee. {as the...: Heb. with the joy of the bridegroom}
I have set
<06485> (8689)
watchmen
<08104> (8802)
upon thy walls
<02346>_,
O Jerusalem
<03389>_,
[which] shall never
<08548>
hold their peace
<02814> (8799)
day
<03117>
nor night
<03915>_:
ye that make mention
<02142> (8688)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
keep not silence
<01824>_,
{make...: or, are the LORD's remembrancers}
And give
<05414> (8799)
him no rest
<01824>_,
till he establish
<03559> (8787)_,
and till he make
<07760> (8799)
Jerusalem
<03389>
a praise
<08416>
in the earth
<0776>_.
{rest: Heb. silence}
The LORD
<03068>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
by his right hand
<03225>_,
and by the arm
<02220>
of his strength
<05797>_,
Surely I will
<0518>
no more give
<05414> (8799)
thy corn
<01715>
[to be] meat
<03978>
for thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
and the sons
<01121>
of the stranger
<05236>
shall not drink
<08354> (8799)
thy wine
<08492>_,
for the which thou hast laboured
<03021> (8804)_:
{Surely...: Heb. If I give, etc}
But they that have gathered
<0622> (8764)
it shall eat
<0398> (8799)
it, and praise
<01984> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and they that have brought it together
<06908> (8764)
shall drink
<08354> (8799)
it in the courts
<02691>
of my holiness
<06944>_.
Go through
<05674> (8798)_,
go through
<05674> (8798)
the gates
<08179>_;
prepare
<06437> (8761)
ye the way
<01870>
of the people
<05971>_;
cast up
<05549> (8798)_,
cast up
<05549> (8798)
the highway
<04546>_;
gather out
<05619> (8761)
the stones
<068>_;
lift up
<07311> (8685)
a standard
<05251>
for the people
<05971>_.
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
hath proclaimed
<08085> (8689)
unto the end
<07097>
of the world
<0776>_,
Say
<0559> (8798)
ye to the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_,
Behold, thy salvation
<03468>
cometh
<0935> (8802)_;
behold, his reward
<07939>
[is] with him, and his work
<06468>
before
<06440>
him. {work: or, recompence}
And they shall call
<07121> (8804)
them, The holy
<06944>
people
<05971>_,
The redeemed
<01350> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and thou shalt be called
<07121> (8735)_,
Sought out
<01875> (8803)_,
A city
<05892>
not forsaken
<05800> (8737)_.
Who [is] this that cometh
<0935> (8802)
from Edom
<0123>_,
with dyed
<02556> (8803)
garments
<0899>
from Bozrah
<01224>_?
this [that is] glorious
<01921> (8803)
in his apparel
<03830>_,
travelling
<06808> (8802)
in the greatness
<07230>
of his strength
<03581>_?
I that speak
<01696> (8764)
in righteousness
<06666>_,
mighty
<07227>
to save
<03467> (8687)_.
{glorious: Heb. decked}
Wherefore [art thou] red
<0122>
in thine apparel
<03830>_,
and thy garments
<0899>
like him that treadeth
<01869> (8802)
in the winefat
<01660>_?
I have trodden
<01869> (8804)
the winepress
<06333>
alone; and of the people
<05971>
[there was] none
<0376>
with me: for I will tread
<01869> (8799)
them in mine anger
<0639>_,
and trample
<07429> (8799)
them in my fury
<02534>_;
and their blood
<05332>
shall be sprinkled
<05137> (8799)
upon my garments
<0899>_,
and I will stain
<01351> (8689)
all my raiment
<04403>_.
For the day
<03117>
of vengeance
<05359>
[is] in mine heart
<03820>_,
and the year
<08141>
of my redeemed
<01350> (8803)
is come
<0935> (8804)_.
And I looked
<05027> (8686)_,
and [there was] none to help
<05826> (8802)_;
and I wondered
<08074> (8709)
that [there was] none to uphold
<05564> (8802)_:
therefore mine own arm
<02220>
brought salvation
<03467> (8686)
unto me; and my fury
<02534>_,
it upheld
<05564> (8804)
me.
And I will tread down
<0947> (8799)
the people
<05971>
in mine anger
<0639>_,
and make them drunk
<07937> (8762)
in my fury
<02534>_,
and I will bring down
<03381> (8686)
their strength
<05332>
to the earth
<0776>_.
I will mention
<02142> (8686)
the lovingkindnesses
<02617>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[and] the praises
<08416>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that the LORD
<03068>
hath bestowed
<01580> (8804)
on us, and the great
<07227>
goodness
<02898>
toward the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which he hath bestowed
<01580> (8804)
on them according to his mercies
<07356>_,
and according to the multitude
<07230>
of his lovingkindnesses
<02617>_.
For he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely they [are] my people
<05971>_,
children
<01121>
[that] will not lie
<08266> (8762)_:
so he was their Saviour
<03467> (8688)_.
In all their affliction
<06869>
he was afflicted
<06862>_,
and the angel
<04397>
of his presence
<06440>
saved
<03467> (8689)
them: in his love
<0160>
and in his pity
<02551>
he redeemed
<01350> (8804)
them; and he bare
<05190> (8762)
them, and carried
<05375> (8762)
them all the days
<03117>
of old
<05769>_.
But they rebelled
<04784> (8804)_,
and vexed
<06087> (8765)
his holy
<06944>
Spirit
<07307>_:
therefore he was turned
<02015> (8735)
to be their enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
[and] he fought
<03898> (8738)
against them.
Then he remembered
<02142> (8799)
the days
<03117>
of old
<05769>_,
Moses
<04872>_,
[and] his people
<05971>_,
[saying], Where [is] he that brought them up
<05927> (8688)
out of the sea
<03220>
with the shepherd
<07462> (8802)
of his flock
<06629>_?
where [is] he that put
<07760> (8802)
his holy
<06944>
Spirit
<07307>
within
<07130>
him? {shepherd: or, shepherds}
That led
<03212> (8688)
[them] by the right hand
<03225>
of Moses
<04872>
with his glorious
<08597>
arm
<02220>_,
dividing
<01234> (8802)
the water
<04325>
before
<06440>
them, to make
<06213> (8800)
himself an everlasting
<05769>
name
<08034>_?
That led
<03212> (8688)
them through the deep
<08415>_,
as an horse
<05483>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
[that] they should not stumble
<03782> (8735)_?
As a beast
<0929>
goeth down
<03381> (8799)
into the valley
<01237>_,
the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
caused him to rest
<05117> (8686)_:
so didst thou lead
<05090> (8765)
thy people
<05971>_,
to make
<06213> (8800)
thyself a glorious
<08597>
name
<08034>_.
Look down
<05027> (8685)
from heaven
<08064>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
from the habitation
<02073>
of thy holiness
<06944>
and of thy glory
<08597>_:
where [is] thy zeal
<07068>
and thy strength
<01369>_,
the sounding
<01995>
of thy bowels
<04578>
and of thy mercies
<07356>
toward me? are they restrained
<0662> (8694)_?
{the sounding: or, the multitude}
Doubtless
<03588>
thou [art] our father
<01>_,
though Abraham
<085>
be ignorant
<03808> <03045> (8804)
of us, and Israel
<03478>
acknowledge
<05234> (8686)
us not: thou, O LORD
<03068>_,
[art] our father
<01>_,
our redeemer
<01350> (8802)_;
thy name
<08034>
[is] from everlasting
<05769>_.
{our redeemer...: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name}
O LORD
<03068>_,
why hast thou made us to err
<08582> (8686)
from thy ways
<01870>_,
[and] hardened
<07188> (8686)
our heart
<03820>
from thy fear
<03374>_?
Return
<07725> (8798)
for thy servants
<05650>_'
sake, the tribes
<07626>
of thine inheritance
<05159>_.
The people
<05971>
of thy holiness
<06944>
have possessed
<03423> (8804)
[it] but a little while
<04705>_:
our adversaries
<06862>
have trodden down
<0947> (8790)
thy sanctuary
<04720>_.
We are [thine]: thou never
<05769>
barest rule
<04910> (8804)
over them; they were not called
<07121> (8738)
by thy name
<08034>_.
{they...: Heb. thy name was not called upon them}
Oh
<03863>
that thou wouldest rend
<07167> (8804)
the heavens
<08064>_,
that thou wouldest come down
<03381> (8804)_,
that the mountains
<02022>
might flow down
<02151> (8738)
at thy presence
<06440>_,
As [when] the melting
<02003>
fire
<0784>
burneth
<06919> (8800)_,
the fire
<0784>
causeth the waters
<04325>
to boil
<01158> (8799)_,
to make thy name
<08034>
known
<03045> (8687)
to thine adversaries
<06862>_,
[that] the nations
<01471>
may tremble
<07264> (8799)
at thy presence
<06440>_!
{the melting...: Heb. the fire of meltings}
When thou didst
<06213> (8800)
terrible things
<03372> (8737)
[which] we looked
<06960> (8762)
not for, thou camest down
<03381> (8804)_,
the mountains
<02022>
flowed down
<02151> (8738)
at thy presence
<06440>_.
For since the beginning of the world
<05769>
[men] have not heard
<08085> (8804)_,
nor perceived by the ear
<0238> (8689)_,
neither hath the eye
<05869>
seen
<07200> (8804)_,
O God
<0430>_,
beside
<02108>
thee, [what] he hath prepared
<06213> (8799)
for him that waiteth
<02442> (8764)
for him. {seen...: or, seen a God beside thee, which doeth so for him, etc}
Thou meetest
<06293> (8804)
him that rejoiceth
<07797> (8801)
and worketh
<06213> (8802)
righteousness
<06664>_,
[those that] remember
<02142> (8799)
thee in thy ways
<01870>_:
behold, thou art wroth
<07107> (8804)_;
for we have sinned
<02398> (8799)_:
in those is continuance
<05769>_,
and we shall be saved
<03467> (8735)_.
But we are all as an unclean
<02931>
[thing], and all our righteousnesses
<06666>
[are] as filthy
<05708>
rags
<0899>_;
and we all do fade
<05034> (8799) (8676) <01101> (8686)
as a leaf
<05929>_;
and our iniquities
<05771>_,
like the wind
<07307>_,
have taken us away
<05375> (8799)_.
And [there is] none that calleth
<07121> (8802)
upon thy name
<08034>_,
that stirreth up
<05782> (8711)
himself to take hold
<02388> (8687)
of thee: for thou hast hid
<05641> (8689)
thy face
<06440>
from us, and hast consumed
<04127> (8799)
us, because
<03027>
of our iniquities
<05771>_.
{consumed: Heb. melted} {because: Heb. by the hand}
But now, O LORD
<03068>_,
thou [art] our father
<01>_;
we [are] the clay
<02563>_,
and thou our potter
<03335> (8802)_;
and we all [are] the work
<04639>
of thy hand
<03027>_.
Be not wroth
<07107> (8799)
very sore
<03966>_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
neither remember
<02142> (8799)
iniquity
<05771>
for ever
<05703>_:
behold, see
<05027> (8685)_,
we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people
<05971>_.
Thy holy
<06944>
cities
<05892>
are a wilderness
<04057>_,
Zion
<06726>
is a wilderness
<04057>_,
Jerusalem
<03389>
a desolation
<08077>_.
Our holy
<06944>
and our beautiful
<08597>
house
<01004>_,
where our fathers
<01>
praised
<01984> (8765)
thee, is burned up
<08316>
with fire
<0784>_:
and all our pleasant things
<04261>
are laid waste
<02723>_.
Wilt thou refrain
<0662> (8691)
thyself for these [things], O LORD
<03068>_?
wilt thou hold thy peace
<02814> (8799)_,
and afflict
<06031> (8762)
us very sore
<03966>_?
I am sought
<01875> (8738)
of [them that] asked
<07592> (8804)
not
<03808>
[for me]; I am found
<04672> (8738)
of [them that] sought
<01245> (8765)
me not
<03808>_:
I said
<0559> (8804)_,
Behold me, behold me, unto a nation
<01471>
[that] was not called
<07121> (8795)
by my name
<08034>_.
I have spread out
<06566> (8765)
my hands
<03027>
all the day
<03117>
unto a rebellious
<05637> (8802)
people
<05971>_,
which walketh
<01980> (8802)
in a way
<01870>
[that was] not good
<02896>_,
after
<0310>
their own thoughts
<04284>_;
A people
<05971>
that provoketh me to anger
<03707> (8688)
continually
<08548>
to my face
<06440>_;
that sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)
in gardens
<01593>_,
and burneth incense
<06999> (8764)
upon altars of brick
<03843>_;
{upon...: Heb. upon bricks}
Which remain
<03427> (8802)
among the graves
<06913>_,
and lodge
<03885> (8799)
in the monuments
<05341> (8803)_,
which eat
<0398> (8802)
swine's
<02386>
flesh
<01320>_,
and broth
<04839> (8675) <06564>
of abominable
<06292>
[things is in] their vessels
<03627>_;
{broth: or, pieces}
Which say
<0559> (8802)_,
Stand
<07126> (8798)
by thyself, come not near
<05066> (8799)
to me; for I am holier
<06942> (8804)
than thou. These [are] a smoke
<06227>
in my nose
<0639>_,
a fire
<0784>
that burneth
<03344> (8802)
all the day
<03117>_.
{nose: or, anger}
Behold, [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
before
<06440>
me: I will not keep silence
<02814> (8799)_,
but will recompense
<07999> (8765)_,
even recompense
<07999> (8765)
into their bosom
<02436>_,
Your iniquities
<05771>_,
and the iniquities
<05771>
of your fathers
<01>
together
<03162>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which have burned incense
<06999> (8765)
upon the mountains
<02022>_,
and blasphemed
<02778> (8765)
me upon the hills
<01389>_:
therefore will I measure
<04058> (8804)
their former
<07223>
work
<06468>
into their bosom
<02436>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
As the new wine
<08492>
is found
<04672> (8735)
in the cluster
<0811>_,
and [one] saith
<0559> (8804)_,
Destroy
<07843> (8686)
it not; for a blessing
<01293>
[is] in it: so will I do
<06213> (8799)
for my servants
<05650>_'
sakes, that I may not destroy
<07843> (8687)
them all.
And I will bring forth
<03318> (8689)
a seed
<02233>
out of Jacob
<03290>_,
and out of Judah
<03063>
an inheritor
<03423> (8802)
of my mountains
<02022>_:
and mine elect
<0972>
shall inherit
<03423> (8804)
it, and my servants
<05650>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
there.
And Sharon
<08289>
shall be a fold
<05116>
of flocks
<06629>_,
and the valley
<06010>
of Achor
<05911>
a place for the herds
<01241>
to lie down in
<07258>_,
for my people
<05971>
that have sought
<01875> (8804)
me.
But ye [are] they that forsake
<05800> (8802)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that forget
<07913>
my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_,
that prepare
<06186> (8802)
a table
<07979>
for that troop
<01409> (8677) <01408>_,
and that furnish
<04390> (8764)
the drink offering
<04469>
unto that number
<04507>_.
{troop: or, Gad} {number: or, Meni, a pagan god}
Therefore will I number
<04487> (8804)
you to the sword
<02719>_,
and ye shall all bow down
<03766> (8799)
to the slaughter
<02874>_:
because when I called
<07121> (8804)_,
ye did not answer
<06030> (8804)_;
when I spake
<01696> (8765)_,
ye did not hear
<08085> (8804)_;
but did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
before mine eyes
<05869>_,
and did choose
<0977> (8804)
[that] wherein I delighted
<02654> (8804)
not.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
Behold, my servants
<05650>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)_,
but ye shall be hungry
<07456> (8799)_:
behold, my servants
<05650>
shall drink
<08354> (8799)_,
but ye shall be thirsty
<06770> (8799)_:
behold, my servants
<05650>
shall rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,
but ye shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_:
Behold, my servants
<05650>
shall sing
<07442> (8799)
for joy
<02898>
of heart
<03820>_,
but ye shall cry
<06817> (8799)
for sorrow
<03511>
of heart
<03820>_,
and shall howl
<03213> (8686)
for vexation
<07667>
of spirit
<07307>_.
{vexation: Heb. breaking}
And ye shall leave
<03240> (8689)
your name
<08034>
for a curse
<07621>
unto my chosen
<0972>_:
for the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
shall slay
<04191> (8689)
thee, and call
<07121> (8799)
his servants
<05650>
by another
<0312>
name
<08034>_:
That he who blesseth
<01288> (8693)
himself in the earth
<0776>
shall bless
<01288> (8691)
himself in the God
<0430>
of truth
<0543>_;
and he that sweareth
<07650> (8737)
in the earth
<0776>
shall swear
<07650> (8735)
by the God
<0430>
of truth
<0543>_;
because the former
<07223>
troubles
<06869>
are forgotten
<07911> (8738)_,
and because they are hid
<05641> (8738)
from mine eyes
<05869>_.
For, behold, I create
<01254> (8802)
new
<02319>
heavens
<08064>
and a new
<02319>
earth
<0776>_:
and the former
<07223>
shall not be remembered
<02142> (8735)_,
nor come
<05927> (8799)
into mind
<03820>_.
{come...: Heb. come upon the heart}
But be ye glad
<07797> (8798)
and rejoice
<01523> (8798)
for ever
<05703>
[in that] which I create
<01254> (8802)_:
for, behold, I create
<01254> (8802)
Jerusalem
<03389>
a rejoicing
<01525>_,
and her people
<05971>
a joy
<04885>_.
And I will rejoice
<01523> (8804)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and joy
<07797> (8804)
in my people
<05971>_:
and the voice
<06963>
of weeping
<01065>
shall be no more heard
<08085> (8735)
in her, nor the voice
<06963>
of crying
<02201>_.
There shall be no more thence an infant
<05764>
of days
<03117>_,
nor an old man
<02205>
that hath not filled
<04390> (8762)
his days
<03117>_:
for the child
<05288>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
an hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_;
but the sinner
<02398> (8802)
[being] an hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
shall be accursed
<07043> (8792)_.
And they shall build
<01129> (8804)
houses
<01004>_,
and inhabit
<03427> (8804)
[them]; and they shall plant
<05193> (8804)
vineyards
<03754>_,
and eat
<0398> (8804)
the fruit
<06529>
of them.
They shall not build
<01129> (8799)_,
and another
<0312>
inhabit
<03427> (8799)_;
they shall not plant
<05193> (8799)_,
and another
<0312>
eat
<0398> (8799)_:
for as the days
<03117>
of a tree
<06086>
[are] the days
<03117>
of my people
<05971>_,
and mine elect
<0972>
shall long enjoy
<01086> (8762)
the work
<04639>
of their hands
<03027>_.
{shall long...: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out}
They shall not labour
<03021> (8799)
in vain
<07385>_,
nor bring forth
<03205> (8799)
for trouble
<0928>_;
for they [are] the seed
<02233>
of the blessed
<01288> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and their offspring
<06631>
with them.
And it shall come to pass, that before they call
<07121> (8799)_,
I will answer
<06030> (8799)_;
and while they are yet speaking
<01696> (8764)_,
I will hear
<08085> (8799)_.
The wolf
<02061>
and the lamb
<02924>
shall feed
<07462> (8799)
together
<0259>_,
and the lion
<0738>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)
straw
<08401>
like the bullock
<01241>_:
and dust
<06083>
[shall be] the serpent's
<05175>
meat
<03899>_.
They shall not hurt
<07489> (8686)
nor destroy
<07843> (8686)
in all my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
The heaven
<08064>
[is] my throne
<03678>_,
and the earth
<0776>
[is] my footstool
<07272> <01916>_:
where [is] the house
<01004>
that ye build
<01129> (8799)
unto me? and where [is] the place
<04725>
of my rest
<04496>_?
For all those [things] hath mine hand
<03027>
made
<06213> (8804)_,
and all those [things] have been, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
but to this [man] will I look
<05027> (8686)_,
[even] to [him that is] poor
<06041>
and of a contrite
<05223>
spirit
<07307>_,
and trembleth
<02730>
at my word
<01697>_.
He that killeth
<07819> (8802)
an ox
<07794>
[is as if] he slew
<05221> (8688)
a man
<0376>_;
he that sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)
a lamb
<07716>_,
[as if] he cut off
<06202> (0)
a dog's
<03611>
neck
<06202> (8802)_;
he that offereth
<05927> (8688)
an oblation
<04503>_,
[as if he offered] swine's
<02386>
blood
<01818>_;
he that burneth
<02142> (8688)
incense
<03828>_,
[as if] he blessed
<01288> (8764)
an idol
<0205>_.
Yea, they have chosen
<0977> (8804)
their own ways
<01870>_,
and their soul
<05315>
delighteth
<02654> (8804)
in their abominations
<08251>_.
{lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}
I also will choose
<0977> (8799)
their delusions
<08586>_,
and will bring
<0935> (8686)
their fears
<04035>
upon them; because when I called
<07121> (8804)_,
none did answer
<06030> (8802)_;
when I spake
<01696> (8765)_,
they did not hear
<08085> (8804)_:
but they did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
before mine eyes
<05869>_,
and chose
<0977> (8804)
[that] in which I delighted
<02654> (8804)
not. {delusions: or, devices}
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
ye that tremble
<02730>
at his word
<01697>_;
Your brethren
<0251>
that hated
<08130> (8802)
you, that cast you out
<05077> (8764)
for my name's
<08034>
sake, said
<0559> (8804)_,
Let the LORD
<03068>
be glorified
<03513> (8799)_:
but he shall appear
<07200> (8737)
to your joy
<08057>_,
and they shall be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_.
A voice
<06963>
of noise
<07588>
from the city
<05892>_,
a voice
<06963>
from the temple
<01964>_,
a voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
that rendereth
<07999> (8764)
recompence
<01576>
to his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
Before she travailed
<02342> (8799)_,
she brought forth
<03205> (8804)_;
before her pain
<02256>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
she was delivered
<04422> (8689)
of a man child
<02145>_.
Who hath heard
<08085> (8804)
such a thing? who hath seen
<07200> (8804)
such things? Shall the earth
<0776>
be made to bring forth
<02342> (8714)
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_?
[or] shall a nation
<01471>
be born
<03205> (8735)
at once
<06471>_?
for as soon as
<01571>
Zion
<06726>
travailed
<02342> (8804)_,
she brought forth
<03205> (8804)
her children
<01121>_.
Shall I bring to the birth
<07665> (8686)_,
and not cause to bring forth
<03205> (8686)_?
saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_:
shall I
<0589>
cause to bring forth
<03205> (8688)_,
and shut
<06113> (8804)
[the womb]? saith
<0559> (8804)
thy God
<0430>_.
{not...: or, not beget?}
Rejoice
<08055> (8798)
ye with Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and be glad
<01523> (8798)
with her, all ye that love
<0157> (8802)
her: rejoice
<07797> (8798)
for joy
<04885>
with her, all ye that mourn
<056> (8693)
for her:
That ye may suck
<03243> (8799)_,
and be satisfied
<07646> (8804)
with the breasts
<07699>
of her consolations
<08575>_;
that ye may milk out
<04711> (8799)_,
and be delighted
<06026> (8694)
with the abundance
<02123>
of her glory
<03519>_.
{abundance: or, brightness}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, I will extend
<05186> (8802)
peace
<07965>
to her like a river
<05104>_,
and the glory
<03519>
of the Gentiles
<01471>
like a flowing
<07857> (8802)
stream
<05158>_:
then shall ye suck
<03243> (8804)_,
ye shall be borne
<05375> (8735)
upon [her] sides
<06654>_,
and be dandled
<08173> (8746)
upon [her] knees
<01290>_.
As one
<0376>
whom his mother
<0517>
comforteth
<05162> (8762)_,
so will I comfort
<05162> (8762)
you; and ye shall be comforted
<05162> (8792)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And when ye see
<07200> (8804)
[this], your heart
<03820>
shall rejoice
<07797> (8804)_,
and your bones
<06106>
shall flourish
<06524> (8799)
like an herb
<01877>_:
and the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be known
<03045> (8738)
toward his servants
<05650>_,
and [his] indignation
<02194> (8804)
toward his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
For, behold, the LORD
<03068>
will come
<0935> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_,
and with his chariots
<04818>
like a whirlwind
<05492>_,
to render
<07725> (8687)
his anger
<0639>
with fury
<02534>_,
and his rebuke
<01606>
with flames
<03851>
of fire
<0784>_.
For by fire
<0784>
and by his sword
<02719>
will the LORD
<03068>
plead
<08199> (8737)
with all flesh
<01320>_:
and the slain
<02491>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be many
<07231> (8804)_.
They that sanctify
<06942> (8693)
themselves, and purify
<02891> (8693)
themselves in the gardens
<01593>
behind
<0310>
one
<0259>
[tree] in the midst
<08432>_,
eating
<0398> (8802)
swine's
<02386>
flesh
<01320>_,
and the abomination
<08263>_,
and the mouse
<05909>_,
shall be consumed
<05486> (8799)
together
<03162>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{behind...: or, one after another}
For I [know] their works
<04639>
and their thoughts
<04284>_:
it shall come
<0935> (8802)_,
that I will gather
<06908> (8763)
all nations
<01471>
and tongues
<03956>_;
and they shall come
<0935> (8804)_,
and see
<07200> (8804)
my glory
<03519>_.
And I will set
<07760> (8804)
a sign
<0226>
among them, and I will send
<07971> (8765)
those that escape
<06412>
of them unto the nations
<01471>_,
[to] Tarshish
<08659>_,
Pul
<06322>_,
and Lud
<03865>_,
that draw
<04900> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_,
[to] Tubal
<08422>_,
and Javan
<03120>_,
[to] the isles
<0339>
afar off
<07350>_,
that have not heard
<08085> (8804)
my fame
<08088>_,
neither have seen
<07200> (8804)
my glory
<03519>_;
and they shall declare
<05046> (8689)
my glory
<03519>
among the Gentiles
<01471>_.
And they shall bring
<0935> (8689)
all your brethren
<0251>
[for] an offering
<04503>
unto the LORD
<03068>
out of all nations
<01471>
upon horses
<05483>_,
and in chariots
<07393>_,
and in litters
<06632>_,
and upon mules
<06505>_,
and upon swift beasts
<03753>_,
to my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
as the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
bring
<0935> (8686)
an offering
<04503>
in a clean
<02889>
vessel
<03627>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{litters: or, coaches}
And I will also take
<03947> (8799)
of them for priests
<03548>
[and] for Levites
<03881>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
For as the new
<02319>
heavens
<08064>
and the new
<02319>
earth
<0776>_,
which I will make
<06213> (8802)_,
shall remain
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
so shall your seed
<02233>
and your name
<08034>
remain
<05975> (8799)_.
And it shall come to pass, [that] from
<01767>
one new moon
<02320>
to another
<02320>_,
and from
<01767>
one sabbath
<07676>
to another
<07676>_,
shall all flesh
<01320>
come
<0935> (8799)
to worship
<07812> (8692)
before
<06440>
me, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{from one new...: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath}
And they shall go forth
<03318> (8804)_,
and look
<07200> (8804)
upon the carcases
<06297>
of the men
<0582>
that have transgressed
<06586> (8802)
against me: for their worm
<08438>
shall not die
<04191> (8799)_,
neither shall their fire
<0784>
be quenched
<03518> (8799)_;
and they shall be an abhorring
<01860>
unto all flesh
<01320>_.
