: 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

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

<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

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

. 

 : 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

 : 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

<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

[ art ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,   [ even ]  thou only <0905

 : 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

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

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

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

 : 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

 : 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

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

they escaped <4422 malat > into the land <0776 >erets > of 
Armenia <0780 >Ararat > : and Esarhaddon <0634 >Ecar - Chaddown

 : 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

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

days <3117 yowm > fifteen <6240 <asar > years <8141 shaneh > . 

 : 6 And I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee and this <2063 zo>th

<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

me off with pining <1803 dallah > sickness : from day <3117 yowm

 : 13 I reckoned <7737 shavah > till <5704 <ad > morning <1242 
boqer > ,   [ that ]  ,  as a lion <0738 >ariy > ,  so <3651 ken

<etsem > : from day <3117 yowm >  [ even ]  to night <3915 layil

 : 14 Like a crane <5483 cuwc >  [ or ]  a swallow <5693 <aguwr

<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

to the stringed <5058 n@giynah > instruments all <3605 kol > the 
days <3117 yowm > of our life <2416 chay > in the house <1004

 : 21 For Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > had said <0559 >amar > ,  Let

the boil <7822 sh@chiyn > ,  and he shall recover <2421 chayah > 
.

What <4100 mah >  [ is ]  the sign <0226 >owth > that I shall go

 : Isaiah 39

 : 1 .  At that time <6256 <eth > Merodachbaladan <4757 M@ro>dak

 : 2 And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > was glad <8056 sameach > of

And Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > said <0559 >amar > ,  They are

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

Isaiah <3470 Y@sha<yah > ,  Good <1319 basar >  [ is ]  the word

walk <1980 halak > therein :

in righteousness<6664 tsedeq > ,  and will hold <2388 chazaq > 
thine hand <3027 yad > ,  and will keep <5341 natsar > thee ,

the people <5971 <am > ,  for a light <0216 >owr > of the 
Gentiles <1471 gowy > ;

 : 8 I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : that  [ is ]  my name

 : 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

 : 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

the rock <5553 cela< > sing <7442 ranan > ,  let them shout 
<6681 tsavach > from the top <7218 ro>sh > of the mountains

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and declare <5046 nagad > his praise

 : 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

prevail <1396 gabar > against <5921 <al > his enemies <0341

 : 14 I have long <5769 <owlam > time holden <2814 chashah > my

 : 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

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

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

observest <8104 shamar > not ;  opening <6491 paqach > the ears

 : 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

Restore <7725 shuwb > .

this <2063 zo>th > ?   [ who ]  will hearken <7181 qashab > and 
hear <8085 shama< > for the time <0268 >achowr > to come ?

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 >

 : 12 The smith with the tongs <4621 ma<atsad > both worketh

<2220 z@rowa< > : yea <1571 gam > ,  he is hungry <7456 ra<eb > ,

drinketh <8354 shathah > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim > ,

 : 13 The carpenter <2796 charash > stretcheth <5186 natah > out

<1653 geshem > doth nourish <1431 gadal >  [ it ]  . 

 : 15 Then shall it be for a man <0120 >adam > to burn <1197

<2552 chamam > himself ;  yea <0637 >aph > ,  he kindleth <5400

and make  [ me ]  equal <7737 shavah > ,  and compare <4911

<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

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  [

<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

 : 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

 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

go <3212 yalak > . 

 : 18 O that thou hadst hearkened <7181 qashab > to my 
commandments <4687 mitsvah > !  then had thy peace <7965 shalowm

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

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< > . 

 : Isaiah 49

 : 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

 : 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

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

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

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

 : 8 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

heard <6030 <anah > thee ,  and in a day <3117 yowm > of

  to establish <6965 quwm > the earth <0776 >erets > ,  to cause

<5159 nachalah > ; 

 : 9 That thou mayest say <0559 >amar > to the prisoners <0631

that  [ are ]  in darkness <2822 choshek > ,  Shew <1540 galah > 
yourselves .  They shall feed <7462 ra<ah > in the ways <1870

all <3605 kol > high <8203 Sh@phatyah > places . 

 : 10 They shall not hunger <7456 ra<eb > nor <3808 lo> > thirst

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

 : 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

 : 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 >

 : 17 Thy children <1121 ben > shall make haste <4116 mahar > ;  
thy destroyers <2040 harac > and they that made thee waste <2717

<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

 : 20 The children <1121 ben > which thou shalt have ,  after 
thou hast lost <7923 shikkuliym > the other ,  shall say <0559

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

 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I was left <7604 sha>ar > alone <0905 bad

 : 22 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136

lift <5375 nasa> > up mine hand <3027 yad > to the Gentiles

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  [

 : 23 And kings <4428 melek > shall be thy nursing <0539 >aman > 
fathers ,  and their queens <8282 sarah > thy nursing <3243

earth <0776 >erets > ,  and lick <3897 lachak > up the dust

<3045 yada< > that I  [ am ]  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : for 
they shall not be ashamed <0954 buwsh > that wait <6960 qavah >

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

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ am ]  thy Saviour <3467 yasha< > and

dry <2717 charab > up the sea <3220 yam > ,  I make <7760 suwm > 
the rivers <5103 n@har > a wilderness <4057 midbar > : their

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

<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

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

 : 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

<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

<1121 ben > of the desolate <8074 shamem > than the children 
<1121 ben > of the married <1166 ba<al > wife ,  saith <0559

 : 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

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

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

 : 5 For thy Maker <6213 <asah >  [ is ]  thine husband <1167

the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  The 
God <0430 >elohiym > of the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets

 : 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

should no more <5750 <owd > go <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar >

 : 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

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 > .

 : 14 In righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > shalt thou be

oppression <6233 <osheq > ;  for thou shalt not fear <3372 yare>

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

 : 17 No <3808 lo> > weapon <3627 k@liy > that is formed <3335

  and every <3605 kol > tongue <3956 lashown >  [ that ]  shall

nation <1471 gowy >  [ that ]  thou knowest <3045 yada< > not ,  
and nations <1471 gowy >  [ that ]  knew <3045 yada< > not thee

Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  for he

may be found <4672 matsa> > ,  call <7121 qara> > ye upon him 
while he is near <7138 qarowb > :

mercy <7355 racham > upon him ;  and to our God <0430 >elohiym > 
,  for he will abundantly <7235 rabah > pardon <5545 calach > . 

 : 8 For my thoughts <4284 machashabah >  [ are ]  not your

[ each one ]  walking <1980 halak >  [ in ]  his uprightness 
<5228 nakoach > . 

 : 3 .  But draw near <7126 qarab > hither ,  ye sons <1121 ben

the adulterer <5003 na>aph > and the whore <2181 zanah > .

ye a wide <7337 rachab > mouth <6310 peh > ,   [ and ]  draw

children <3206 yeled > of transgression <6588 pesha< > ,  a seed 
<2233 zera< > of falsehood <8267 sheqer > , 

 : 5 Enflaming <2552 chamam > yourselves with idols <0410 >el > 
under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan >

 : 6 Among the smooth <2511 challaq >  [ stones ]  of the stream 
<5158 nachal > [ is ]  thy portion <2506 cheleq > ;  they ,  
they  [ are ]  thy lot <1486 gowral > : even <1571 gam > to them 
hast thou poured <8210 shaphak > a drink <5262 necek > offering ,
  thou hast offered <5927 <alah > a meat offering <4503 minchah

these <0428 >el - leh > ? 

 : 7 Upon a lofty <1364 gaboahh > and high <5375 nasa> >

 : 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

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

 : 10 Thou art wearied <3021 yaga< > in the greatness <7230 rob

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

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

cast <5549 calal > ye up ,  prepare <6437 panah > the way <1870

. 

 : 15 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the high <7311

[ that is ]  of a contrite <1793 dakka> > and humble <8217

revive <2421 chayah > the heart <3820 leb > of the contrite 
<1792 daka> > ones . 

 : 16 For I will not contend <7378 riyb > for ever <5769 <owlam

<7107 qatsaph > : for the spirit <7307 ruwach > should fail 
<5848 <ataph > before <6440 paniym > me ,  and the souls <5397 
n@shamah >  [ which ]  I have made <6213 <asah > . 

 : 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

<3068 Y@hovah > ;  and I will heal <7495 rapha> > him . 

 : 20 But the wicked <7563 rasha< >  [ are ]  like the troubled

rest <8252 shaqat > ,  whose waters <4325 mayim > cast <1644

 : 21  [ There is ]  no <0369 >ayin > peace <7965 shalowm > ,

<7563 rasha< > .

 : 1 .  Cry <7121 qara> > aloud <1627 garown > ,  spare <2820 
chasak > not ,  lift <7311 ruwm > up thy voice <6963 qowl > like 
a trumpet <7782 showphar > ,  and shew <5046 nagad > my people 
<5971 <am > their transgression <6588 pesha< > ,  and the house 
<1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > their sins <2403

 : 2 Yet they seek <1875 darash > me daily <3117 yowm > ,  and 
delight <2654 chaphets > to know <1847 da<ath > my ways <1870 
derek > ,  as a nation <1471 gowy > that did <6213 <asah > 
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ,  and forsook <5800 <azab > not 
the ordinance <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym > : 
they ask <7592 sha>al > of me the ordinances <4941 mishpat > of 
justice <6664 tsedeq > ;  they take delight <2654 chaphets > in 
approaching <7132 q@rabah > to God <0430 >elohiym > . 

 : 3 .  Wherefore <4100 mah > have we fasted <6684 tsuwm > ,   [ 
say they ]  ,  and thou seest <7200 ra>ah > not ?   [ wherefore

<5065 nagas > all <3605 kol > your labours <6092 <atseb > . 

 : 4 Behold <2005 hen > ,  ye fast <6684 tsuwm > for strife 
<7379 riyb > and debate <4683 matstsah > ,  and to smite <5221 
nakah > with the fist <0106 >egroph > of wickedness <7562 resha<

<8085 shama< > on high <4791 marowm > . 

 : 5 Is it such <2088 zeh > a fast <6685 tsowm > that I have 
chosen <0977 bachar > ?  a day <3117 yowm > for a man <0120

is it ]  to bow <3721 kaphaph > down his head <7218 ro>sh > as a 
bulrush <0100 >agmown > ,  and to spread <3331 yatsa< > 
sackcloth <8242 saq > and ashes <0665 >epher >  [ under him ]  ? 
 wilt thou call <7121 qara> > this <2088 zeh > a fast <6685

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ? 

 : 6  [ Is ]  not this <2088 zeh > the fast <6685 tsowm > that I 
have chosen <0977 bachar > ?  to loose <6605 pathach > the bands 
<2784 chartsubbah > of wickedness <7562 resha< > ,  to undo 
<5425 nathar > the heavy <4133 mowtah > burdens <92> ,  and to 
let the oppressed <7533 ratsats > go <7971 shalach > free <2670 
chophshiy > ,  and that ye break <5423 nathaq > every <3605 kol

 : 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

 : 9 Then <0227 >az > shalt thou call <7121 qara> > ,  and the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall answer <6030 <anah > ;  thou shalt 
cry <7768 shava< > ,  and he shall say <0559 >amar > ,  Here 
<2009 hinneh > I  [ am ]  .  If thou take <5493 cuwr > away 
<5493 cuwr > from the midst <8432 tavek > of thee the yoke <4133

thy light <0216 >owr > rise <2224 zarach > in obscurity <2822

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

 : 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

<7121 qara> > ,  The repairer <1443 gadar > of the breach <6556

to dwell <3427 yashab > in . 

 : 13 .  If <0518 >im > thou turn <7725 shuwb > away thy foot

doing <6213 <asah > thy pleasure <2656 chephets > on my holy

<5159 nachalah > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > thy father <1> : for 
the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken

 : Isaiah 59

 : 1 .  Behold <2005 hen > ,  the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > hand

 and your sins <2403 chatta>ah > have hid <5641 cathar >  [ his

 : 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

for truth <0530 >emuwnah > : they trust <0982 batach > in vanity

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

 : 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

iniquity <0205 >aven > ;  wasting <7701 shod > and destruction

 : 8 The way <1870 derek > of peace <7965 shalowm > they know

judgment <4941 mishpat > in their goings <4570 ma<gal > : they

whosoever <3605 kol > goeth <1869 darak > therein shall not know 
<3045 yada< > peace <7965 shalowm > .

from us ,  neither <3808 lo> > doth justice <6666 ts@daqah > 
overtake <5381 nasag > us : we wait <6960 qavah > for light

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

dead <4191 muwth >  [ men ]  . 

 : 11 We roar <1993 hamah > all <3605 kol > like bears <1677 dob

 : 12 For our transgressions <6588 pesha< > are multiplied <7231

a praise <8416 t@hillah > in the earth <0776 >erets > .

Sought <1875 darash > out ,  A city <5892 <iyr > not forsaken

 : Isaiah 63

 : 1 .  Who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  this <2088 zeh > that cometh 
<0935 bow> > from Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  with dyed <2556 chamets

<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

 : 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

 : 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

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

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

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

was turned <2015 haphak > to be their enemy <0341 >oyeb > ,   [

 : 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

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

make <6213 <asah > himself an everlasting <5769 <owlam > name 
<8034 shem > ? 

 : 13 That led <3212 yalak > them through the deep <8415 t@howm

  [ 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

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

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

 : 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

neither <3808 lo> > hath the eye <5869 <ayin > seen <7200 ra>ah

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

 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

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 >  [

 : 9 Be not wroth <7107 qatsaph > very <3966 m@<od > sore <3966

 : 10 Thy holy <6944 qodesh > cities <5892 <iyr > are a

hold <2814 chashah > thy peace <2814 chashah > ,  and afflict

 : 6 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ it is ]  written <3789 kathab > 
before <6440 paniym > me : I will not keep silence <2814 chashah

 : 7 Your iniquities <5771 <avon > ,  and the iniquities <5771 
<avon > of your fathers <1> together <3162 yachad > ,  saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  which <0834 >aher >

 : 8 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

[ one ]  saith <0559 >amar > ,  Destroy <7843 shachath > it not ;
  for a blessing <1293 B@rakah >  [ is ]  in it : so <3651 ken >

<6616 pathiyl > ,  that I may not destroy <7843 shachath > them

 : 9 And I will bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a seed 
<2233 zera< > out of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  and out of Judah

that have sought <1875 darash > me . 

 : 11 .  But ye  [ are ]  they that forsake <5800 <azab > the

 : 12 Therefore will I number <4487 manah > you to the sword 
<2719 chereb > ,  and ye shall all <3605 kol > bow <3766 kara< > 
down <3766 kara< > to the slaughter <2875 Tebach > : because

<7667 sheber > of spirit <7307 ruwach > . 

 : 15 And ye shall leave <3241 Yaniym > your name <8034 shem > 
for a curse <7621 sh@buw<ah > unto my chosen <0977 bachar > : 
for the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > shall slay 
<4191 muwth > thee ,  and call <7121 qara> > his servants <5650 
<ebed > by another <0312 >acher > name <8034 shem > : 

 : 16 That he who <0834 >aher > blesseth <1288 barak > himself 
in the earth <0776 >erets > shall bless <1288 barak > himself in 
the God <0430 >elohiym > of truth <0548 >amanah > ;  and he that 
sweareth <7650 shaba< > in the earth <0776 >erets > shall swear 
<7650 shaba< > by the God <0430 >elohiym > of truth <0548

troubles <6869 tsarah > are forgotten <7911 shakach > ,  and 
because <3588 kiy > they are hid <5641 cathar > from mine eyes 
<5869 <ayin > . 

 : 17 .  For ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I create <1254 bara> > new 
<2319 chadash > heavens <8064 shamayim > and a new <2319 chadash

 : 18 But be ye glad <7796 Sowreq > and rejoice <1523 giyl > for 
ever <5703 <ad >  [ in that ]  which <0834 >aher > I create 
<1254 bara> > : for ,  behold <2005 hen > ,  I create <1254 
bara> > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > a rejoicing <1525 giylah

 : 19 And I will rejoice <1523 giyl > in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and joy <7796 Sowreq > in my people <5971 <am

no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > heard <8085 shama< > in her ,  
nor the voice <6963 qowl > of crying <2201 za<aq > . 

 : 20 There shall be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > thence 
<8033 sham > an infant <5764 <uwl > of days <3117 yowm > ,  nor 
an old <2205 zaqen > man that hath not filled <4390 male> > his 
days <3117 yowm > : for the child <5288 na<ar > shall die <4191 
muwth > an hundred <3967 me>ah > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121

<3967 me>ah > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > shall be 
accursed <7043 qalal > . 

 : 21 And they shall build <1129 banah > houses <1004 bayith > , 
 and inhabit <3427 yashab >  [ them ]  ;  and they shall plant 
<5193 nata< > vineyards <3754 kerem > ,  and eat <0398 >akal > 
the fruit <6529 p@riy > of them . 

 : 22 They shall not build <1129 banah > ,  and another <0312

nata< > ,  and another <0312 >acher > eat <0398 >akal > : for as 
the days <3117 yowm > of a tree <6086 <ets >  [ are ]  the days 
<3117 yowm > of my people <5971 <am > ,  and mine elect <0972 
bachiyr > shall long enjoy <1086 balah > the work <4639 ma<aseh

 nor <3808 lo> > bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > for 
trouble <0928 behalah > ;  for they  [ are ]  the seed <2233 
zera< > of the blessed <1288 barak > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
,  and their offspring <6631 tse>etsa> > with them . 

 : 24 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass ,  that before 
<2962 terem > they call <7121 qara> > ,  I will answer <6030 
<anah > ;  and while they are yet <5750 <owd > speaking <1696 
dabar > ,  I will hear <8085 shama< > . 

 : 25 The wolf <2061 z@>eb > and the lamb <2924 taleh > shall 
feed <7462 ra<ah > together <0259 >echad > ,  and the lion <0738

bullock <1241 baqar > : and dust <6083 <aphar >  [ shall be ]  
the serpent s <5175 nachash > meat <3899 lechem > .  They shall 
not hurt <7489 ra<a< > nor <3808 lo> > destroy <7843 shachath > 
in all <3605 kol > my holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > , 
 saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : Isaiah 66

 : 1 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  The heaven <8064 shamayim >  [ is ]  my throne 
<3678 kicce> > ,  and the earth <0776 >erets >  [ is ]  my 
footstool : where <0335 >ay >  [ is ]  the house <1004 bayith > 
that ye build <1129 banah > unto me ?  and where <0335 >ay >  [ 
is ]  the place <4725 maqowm > of my rest <4496 m@nuwchah > ? 

 : 2 For all <3605 kol > those <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  
hath mine hand <3027 yad > made <6213 <asah > ,  and all <3605 
kol > those <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  have been <1961 hayah

<2088 zeh >  [ man ]  will I look <5027 nabat > ,   [ even ]  to 
 [ him that is ]  poor <6041 <aniy > and of a contrite <5223 
nakeh > spirit <7307 ruwach > ,  and trembleth <2730 chared > at 
<5921 <al > my word <1697 dabar > . 

 : 3 He that killeth <7819 shachat > an ox <7794 showr >  [ is 
as if ]  he slew <5221 nakah > a man <0376 >iysh > ;  he that 
sacrificeth <2076 zabach > a lamb <7716 seh > ,   [ as if ]  he 
cut off a dog s <3611 keleb > neck <6202 <araph > ;  he that 
offereth <5927 <alah > an oblation <4503 minchah > ,   [ as if 
he offered <5927 <alah > ]  swine s <2386 chaziyr > blood <1818 
dam > ;  he that burneth <2142 zakar > incense <3828 l@bownah > ,
   [ as if ]  he blessed <1288 barak > an idol <0205 >aven > .  
Yea <1571 gam > ,  they have chosen <0977 bachar > their own 
ways <1870 derek > ,  and their soul <5315 nephesh > delighteth 
<2654 chaphets > in their abominations <8251 shiqquwts > . 

 : 4 I also <1571 gam > will choose <0977 bachar > their 
delusions <8586 ta<aluwl > ,  and will bring <0935 bow> > their 
fears <4035 m@guwrah > upon them ;  because <3282 ya<an > when I 
called <7121 qara> > ,  none <0369 >ayin > did answer <6030 
<anah > ;  when I spake <1696 dabar > ,  they did not hear <8085 
shama< > : but they did <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > before 
mine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and chose <0977 bachar >  [ that ]  
in which <0834 >aher > I delighted <2654 chaphets > not . 

 : 5 .  Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,  ye that tremble <2730 chared > at <0413 >el > 
his word <1697 dabar > ;  Your brethren <0251 >ach > that hated 
<8130 sane> > you ,  that cast <5077 nadah > you out for my name 
s <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an > ,  said <0559 >amar > ,  Let 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > be glorified <3513 kabad > : but he 
shall appear <7200 ra>ah > to your joy <8057 simchah > ,  and 
they shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > . 

 : 6 A voice <6963 qowl > of noise <7588 sha>own > from the city 
<5892 <iyr > ,  a voice <6963 qowl > from the temple <1964 
heykal > ,  a voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
that rendereth <7999 shalam > recompence <1576 g@muwl > to his 
enemies <0341 >oyeb > . 

 : 7 Before <2962 terem > she travailed <2342 chuwl > ,  she 
brought <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > ;  before <2962 terem

<4422 malat > of a man <2145 zakar > child . 

 : 8 Who <4310 miy > hath heard <8085 shama< > such <2063 zo>th

<1571 gam > as Zion <6726 Tsiyown > travailed <2342 chuwl > ,  
she brought <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > her children <1121 
ben > . 

 : 9 Shall I bring <7665 shabar > to the birth <7665 shabar > ,  
and not cause to bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > ?  
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : shall I cause to 
bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > ,  and shut <6113 <atsar

. 

 : 10 Rejoice <8055 samach > ye with Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and be glad <1528 giyr > with her ,  all <3605 
kol > ye that love <0157 >ahab > her : rejoice <7797 suws > for 
joy <4885 masows > with her ,  all <3605 kol > ye that mourn

 : 11 That ye may suck <3243 yanaq > ,  and be satisfied <7646 
saba< > with the breasts <7699 shad > of her consolations <8575 
tanchuwm > ;  that ye may milk <4711 matsats > out ,  and be 
delighted <6026 <anag > with the abundance <2123 ziyz > of her 
glory <3519 kabowd > . 

 : 12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will extend <5186 natah > 
peace <7965 shalowm > to her like a river <5104 nahar > ,  and 
the glory <3519 kabowd > of the Gentiles <1471 gowy > like a 
flowing <7857 shataph > stream <5158 nachal > : then shall ye 
suck <3243 yanaq > ,  ye shall be borne <5375 nasa> > upon  [ 
her ]  sides <6654 tsad > ,  and be dandled <8173 sha<a< > upon  
[ her ]  knees <1290 berek > . 

 : 13 As one <0376 >iysh > whom <0834 >aher > his mother <0517

<5162 nacham > you ;  and ye shall be comforted <5162 nacham > 
in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > . 

 : 14 And when ye see <7200 ra>ah >  [ this ]  ,  your heart 
<3820 leb > shall rejoice <7797 suws > ,  and your bones <6106 
<etsem > shall flourish <6524 parach > like an herb <1877 deshe>

be known <3045 yada< > toward <0854 >eth > his servants <5650

 : 15 .  For ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

chariots <4818 merkabah > like a whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > ,  to

chemah > ,  and his rebuke <1606 g@<arah > with flames <3851 
lahab > of fire <0784 >esh > . 

 : 16 For by fire <0784 >esh > and by his sword <2719 chereb > 
will the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > plead <8199 shaphat > with all 
<3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > : and the slain <2491 chalal > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be many <7231 rabab > . 

 : 17 They that sanctify <6942 qadash > themselves ,  and purify 
<2891 taher > themselves in the gardens <1593 gannah > behind 
<0310 >achar > one <0259 >echad >  [ tree ]  in the midst <8432 
tavek > ,  eating <0398 >akal > swine s <2386 chaziyr > flesh

mouse <5909 <akbar > ,  shall be consumed <5486 cuwph > together 
<3162 yachad > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 18 For I  [ know ]  their works <4639 ma<aseh > and their 
thoughts <4284 machashabah > : it shall come <0935 bow> > ,  
that I will gather <6908 qabats > all <3605 kol > nations <1471

 : 19 And I will set <7760 suwm > a sign <0226 >owth > among 
them ,  and I will send <7971 shalach > those <1992 hem > that 
escape <6412 paliyt > of them unto the nations <1471 gowy > ,   
[ to ]  Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh > ,  Pul <6322 Puwl > ,  and 
Lud <3865 Luwd > ,  that draw <4900 mashak > the bow <7198 
qesheth > ,   [ to ]  Tubal <8422 Tuwbal > ,  and Javan <3120 
Yavan > ,   [ to ]  the isles <0339 >iy > afar <7350 rachowq >

kabowd > ;  and they shall declare <5046 nagad > my glory <3519 
kabowd > among the Gentiles <1471 gowy > . 

 : 20 And they shall bring <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol > your 
brethren <0251 >ach >  [ for ]  an offering <4503 minchah > unto 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > out of all <3605 kol > nations <1471

 and upon swift <3753 karkarah > beasts <3753 karkarah > ,  to 
my holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , 
 as the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > bring

for priests <3548 kohen >  [ and ]  for Levites <3881 Leviyiy > ,
  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : 22 For as the new <2319 chadash > heavens <8064 shamayim > 
and the new <2319 chadash > earth <0776 >erets > ,  which <0834

one new <2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh > to another ,  and 
from one sabbath <7676 shabbath > to another ,  shall all <3605
