Isaiah, Chapter 24

1 Behold, the LORD lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants. 2 And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the maid like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the creditor like the debtor. 3 The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the LORD has spoken this word. 4 The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away. 5 The earth is also polluteda Lit underby its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
7 
The new wine mourns,
The vine decays,
All the merry-hearted sigh.
8 
The gaiety of tambourines ceases,
The noise of revelers stops,
The gaiety of the harp ceases.
9 
They do not drink wine with song;
Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 
The city of chaos is broken down;
Every house is shut up so that none may enter.
11 
There is an outcry in the streets concerning the wine;
All joyb Lit is darkenedturns to gloom.
The gaiety of the earth is banished.
12 
Desolation is left in the city
And the gate is battered to ruins.
13 
For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples,
As thec Lit strikingshaking of an olive tree,
As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.
14 
They raise their voices, they shout for joy;
They cry out from thed Lit seawest concerning the majesty of the LORD.
15 
Therefore glorify the LORD in thee Lit region of lighteast,
The name of the LORD, the God of Israel,
In thef Or islandscoastlands of the sea.
16 
From the ends of the earth we hear songs, “Glory to the Righteous One,”
But I say, “g Lit Wasting to me!Woe to me!h Lit Wasting to me!Woe to me! Alas for me!
The treacherous deal treacherously,
And the treacherous deal very treacherously.”
17 
Terror and pit and snare
i Lit Are upon youConfront you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 
Then it will be that he who flees thej Lit sound of terrorreport of disaster will fall into the pit,
And he whok Lit goes up from the midst ofclimbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare;
For the windowsl Lit from the height; i.e. heavenabove are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.
19 
The earth is broken asunder,
The earth is split through,
The earth is shaken violently.
20 
The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard
And it totters like am Or hutshack,
For its transgression is heavy upon it,
And it will fall, never to rise again.
21 
So it will happen in that day,
That the LORD will punish the host ofn Lit the height in the heightheaven on high,
And the kings of the earth on earth.
22 
They will be gathered together
Like prisoners in theo Lit pitdungeon,
And will be confined in prison;
And after many days they will be punished.
23 
Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed,
For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
And His glory will be before His elders.

Isaiah, Chapter 25

1 
O LORD, You are my God;
I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name;
For You have worked wonders,
Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
2 
For You have made a city into a heap,
A fortified city into a ruin;
A palace of strangers is a city no more,
It will never be rebuilt.
3 
Therefore a strong people will glorify You;
Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
4 
For You have been a defense for the helpless,
A defense for the needy in his distress,
A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.
5 
Like heat in drought, You subdue the uproar of aliens;
Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless isa Lit humbledsilenced.
6 
The LORD of hosts will prepare ab Lit feast of fat things; i.e. abundancelavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain;
A banquet ofc Lit wine on the leesaged wine,d Lit fat pieceschoice pieces with marrow,
Ande Lit wine refined on the leesrefined, aged wine.
7 
And on this mountain He will swallow up thef Lit face of the coveringcovering which is over all peoples,
Even the veil which isg Lit wovenstretched over all nations.
8 
He will swallow up death for all time,
And the Lordh Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD will wipe tears away from all faces,
And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth;
For the LORD has spoken.
9 
And it will be said in that day,
“Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us.
This is the LORD for whom we have waited;
Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
10 
For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain,
And Moab will be trodden down in his place
As straw is trodden down in the water of a manure pile.
11 
And he will spread out his hands in the middle of it
As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,
But the Lord will lay low his pride together with the trickery of his hands.
12 
The unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down,
Lay low and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

Isaiah, Chapter 26

1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:“We have a strong city;
He sets up walls and ramparts fora Or salvationsecurity.
2“Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter,
The one thatb Lit keeps faithfulnessremains faithful.
3“The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You.
4“Trust in the LORD forever,
For inc Heb Yah, usually rendered LordGOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock.
5“For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city;
He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.
6“The foot will trample it,
The feet of the afflicted, the steps of the helpless.”
7 
The way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
8 
Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O LORD,
We have waited for You eagerly;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.
9 
At nightd Lit with my soul I longmy soul longs for You,
Indeed,e Lit with my spirit...I seekmy spirit within me seeks You diligently;
For when the earthf Lit hasexperiences Your judgments
The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 
Though the wicked is shown favor,
He does not learn righteousness;
He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,
And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD.
11 
O LORD, Your hand is lifted up yet they do not see it.
g Or Let them see...and beThey see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;
Indeed,h Or let the fire for Your adversaries devour themfire will devour Your enemies.
12 
LORD, You will establish peace for us,
Since You have also performed for us all our works.
13 
O LORD our God, other masters besides You have ruled us;
But through You alone wei Or cause to be rememberedconfess Your name.
14 
The dead will not live, thej Or shadesdeparted spirits will not rise;
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,
And You have wiped out all remembrance of them.
15 
You have increased the nation, O LORD,
You have increased the nation, You are glorified;
You have extended all the borders of the land.
16 
O LORD, they sought You in distress;
Theyk Lit sound forth a whispercould only whisper a prayer,
Your chastening was upon them.
17 
As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her labor pains,
Thus were we before You, O LORD.
18 
We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,
We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were inhabitants of the worldl Lit fallenborn.
19 
Your dead will live;
m So with some ancient versions; Heb MyTheir corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of then Lit lightsdawn,
And the earth willo Lit cause to fallgive birth to thep Or shadesdeparted spirits.
20 
Come, my people, enter into your rooms
And close your doors behind you;
Hide for a littleq Lit momentwhile
Until indignationr Lit passes overruns its course.
21 
For behold, the LORD is about to come out from His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
And the earth will reveal her bloodshed
And will no longer cover her slain.

Isaiah, Chapter 27

1 
In that day the LORD will punisha Or sea monsterLeviathan the fleeing serpent,
With His fierce and great and mighty sword,
Evenb Or sea monsterLeviathan the twisted serpent;
And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.
2 
In that day,
“Ac Some mss read a vineyard of delightvineyard of wine, sing of it!
3 
“I, the LORD, am its keeper;
I water it every moment.
So that no one willd Lit punishdamage it,
I guard it night and day.
4 
“I have no wrath.
Shoulde Lit whosomeone give Me briars and thorns in battle,
Then I would step on them, I would burn themf Lit altogethercompletely.
5 
“Or let himg Lit take hold ofrely on My protection,
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him make peace with Me.”
6 
h Lit Those comingIn the days to come Jacob will take root,
Israel will blossom and sprout,
And they will fill thei Lit face ofwhole world with fruit.
7 
Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain,j Lit he was slainhave they been slain?
8 
You contended with themk Some ancient versions read by exact measureby banishing them, by driving them away.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.
9 
Therefore through this Jacob’s iniquity will be forgiven;
And this will bel Lit all the fruitthe full price of them Lit removingpardoning of his sin:
When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
Whenn I.e. wooden symbols of a female deityAsherim and incense altars will not stand.
10 
For the fortified city is isolated,
Ao Lit pasturehomestead forlorn and forsaken like the desert;
There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down andp Lit consumefeed on its branches.
11 
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and make a fire with them,
For they are not a people of discernment,
Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12 In that day the LORD will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel. 13 It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

Isaiah, Chapter 28

1 
Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of thea Lit valley of fatnessfertile valley
Of those who areb Lit smittenovercome with wine!
2 
Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent;
As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction,
Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters,
He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.
3 
The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trodden under foot.
4 
And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of thec Lit valley of fatnessfertile valley,
Will be like the first-ripe fig prior to summer,
Whichd Lit the one seeing seesone sees,
Ande Lit while it is yetas soon as it is in hisf Lit palmhand,
He swallows it.
5 
In that day the LORD of hosts will become a beautiful crown
And a glorious diadem to the remnant of His people;
6 
A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment,
A strength to those who repel theg Lit battleonslaught at the gate.
7 
And these also reel with wine and stagger from strong drink:
The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink,
They are confused by wine, they stagger from strong drink;
They reel whileh Lit seeinghaving visions,
They totter when rendering judgment.
8 
For all the tables are full of filthy vomit, without a single clean place.
9 
“To whom would He teach knowledge,
And to whom would He interpret the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just taken from the breast?
10 
“For He says,
‘i Heb Sav lasav, sav lasav, Kav lakav, kav lakav, Ze’ er sham, ze’ er sham These Hebrew monosyllables, imitating the babbling of a child, mock the prophet’s preachingOrder on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’”
11 
Indeed, He will speak to this people
Through stammering lips and a foreign tongue,
12 
He who said to them, “Here is rest, give rest to the weary,”
And, “Here is repose,” but they would not listen.
13 
So the word of the LORD to them will be,
“j V 10, note 1 The responds to their scoffing by imitating their mockery, to represent the unintelligible language of a conquerorOrder on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.
14 
Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 
Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And withk I.e. the nether worldSheol we have made al So some ancient versions; Heb seerpact.
The overwhelmingm Or floodscourge will not reach us when it passes by,
For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception.”
16 Therefore thus says the Lordn Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD,“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone,
A costly cornerstone for the foundation,o Lit well-laidfirmly placed.
He who believes in it will not bep Lit in a hurrydisturbed.
17“I will make justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies
And the waters will overflow the secret place.
18“Your covenant with death will beq Lit covered overcanceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
Then you become its trampling place.
19“As often as it passes through, it willr Lit takeseize you;
For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night,
And it will bes Lit onlysheer terror to understandt Lit the report, or, the messagewhat it means.”
20The bed is too short on which to stretch out,
And the blanket is toou Lit narrowsmall to wrap oneself in.
21For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon,
To do His task, Hisv Lit task is strangeunusual task,
And to work His work, Hisw Lit work is alienextraordinary work.
22And now do not carry on as scoffers,
Or your fetters will be made stronger;
For I have heard from the Lordx Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD of hosts
Of decisive destruction on all the earth.
23 
Give ear and hear my voice,
Listen and hear my words.
24 
Does they Lit plowmanfarmer plowz Lit all daycontinually to plant seed?
Does he continuallyaa Lit openturn and harrow the ground?
25 
Does he not level its surface
And sow dill and scatter cummin
Andab Lit putplant wheat in rows,
Barley in its place and rye within itsac Lit regionarea?
26 
For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
27 
For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
Nor is the cartwheelad Lit rolleddriven over cummin;
But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a club.
28 
Grain for bread is crushed,
Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever.
Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventuallyae Lit discomfitdamage it,
He does not thresh it longer.
29 
This also comes from the LORD of hosts,
Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.

Isaiah, Chapter 29

1 
Woe, Oa I.e. Lion of God, or JerusalemAriel,b I.e. Lion of God, or JerusalemAriel the city where David once camped!
Add year to year,c Lit let your feasts run their roundobserve your feasts on schedule.
2 
I will bring distress to Ariel,
And she will be a city of lamenting and mourning;
And she will be like an Ariel to me.
3 
I will camp against youd Lit like a circleencircling you,
And I will set siegeworks against you,
And I will raise up battle towers against you.
4 
Then you will be brought low;
From the earth you will speak,
And from the dust where you are prostrate
Your words will come.
Your voice will also be like that of ae Or ghostspirit from the ground,
And your speech will whisper from the dust.
5 
But the multitude of yourf Lit strangersenemies will become like fine dust,
And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff whichg Lit passes awayblows away;
And it will happen instantly, suddenly.
6 
From the LORD of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise,
With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
7 
And the multitude of all the nations who wage war againsth V 1, note 1Ariel,
Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8 
It will be as when a hungry man dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But when he awakens, hisi Lit soulhunger is not satisfied,
Or as when a thirsty man dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But when he awakens, behold, he is faint
And hisj Lit soulthirst is not quenched.
Thus the multitude of all the nations will be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.
9 
Be delayed and wait,
Blind yourselves and be blind;
They become drunk, but not with wine,
They stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 
For the LORD has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep,
He has shut your eyes, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, the seers.
11 The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealedk Or scrollbook, which when they give it to the one whol Lit knows booksis literate, saying, “Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” 12 Then them Or scrollbook will be given to the one whon Lit does not know booksis illiterate, saying, “Please read this.” And he will say, “Io Lit do not know bookscannot read.”
13 Then the Lord said,“Because this people draw near with theirp Lit mouthwords
And honor Me with theirq Lit lipslip service,
But they remove their hearts far from Me,
And theirr Lit fear of Mereverence for Mes Lit isconsists oft Lit commandment of rulerstradition learned by rote,
14Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous;
And the wisdom of their wise men will perish,
And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed.”
15 
Woe to those who deeply hide theiru Lit counselplans from the LORD,
And whose deeds are done in a dark place,
And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”
16 
You turn things around!
Shall the potter be consideredv Lit likeas equal with the clay,
That what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”;
Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
17 
Is it not yet just a little while
w Lit AndBefore Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field,
And the fertile field will be considered as a forest?
18 
On that day the deaf will hear words of a book,
And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
19 
The afflicted also will increase their gladness in the LORD,
And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 
For the ruthless will come to an end and the scorner will be finished,
Indeed all whox Lit watch evilare intent on doing evil will be cut off;
21 
Whoy Lit bring a person under condemnationcause a person to be indicted by a word,
And ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate,
Andz Lit turn asidedefraud the one in the right withaa Lit confusionmeaningless arguments.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:“Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now turn pale;
23But whenab Or his children seehe sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst,
They will sanctify My name;
Indeed, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob
And will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24“Those who err inac Lit spiritmind will knowad Lit understandingthe truth,
And those whoae Lit murmurcriticize willaf Lit learnaccept instruction.

Isaiah, Chapter 30

1 
“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD,
“Who execute a plan, but not Mine,
Anda Lit pour out a drink offeringmake an alliance, but not of My Spirit,
In order to add sin to sin;
2 
Who proceed down to Egypt
Without consultingb Lit My mouthMe,
To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh
And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3 
“Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame
And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.
4 
“For their princes are at Zoan
And their ambassadors arrive at Hanes.
5 
“Everyone will be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them,
Who are not for help or profit, but for shame and also for reproach.”
6 Thec Or burden oforacle concerning the beasts of the Negev.Through a land of distress and anguish,
Fromd Lit themwhere come lioness and lion, viper and flying serpent,
They carry their riches on thee Lit shouldersbacks of young donkeys
And their treasures on camels’ humps,
To a people who cannot profit them;
7Even Egypt, whose help is vain and empty.
Therefore, I have calledf Lit this oneher
“g M.T. reads They are Rahab (or arrogance), to remainRahab who has been exterminated.”
8Now go, write it on a tablet before them
And inscribe it on a scroll,
That it mayh Lit beserve in the time to come
i So the versions; Heb Forever and everAs a witness forever.
9For this is a rebellious people, false sons,
Sons whoj Lit are not willingrefuse to listen
To thek Or lawinstruction of the LORD;
10Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”;
And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right,
Speak to usl Lit smooth thingspleasant words,
Prophesy illusions.
11“Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,
m Lit Cause to cease from our presence theLet us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,“Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them,
13Therefore this iniquity will be to you
Like a breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,
14Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter’s jar,
n Lit Crushed, it will not be sparedSo ruthlessly shattered
That a sherd will not be found among its pieces
Too Lit snatch uptake fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”
15 For thus the Lordp Heb YHWH, usually rendered LordGOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said,“Inq Lit returningrepentance and rest you will be saved,
In quietness and trust is your strength.”
But you were not willing,
16And you said, “No, for we will flee on horses,”
Therefore you shall flee!
“And we will ride on swift horses,”
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
17One thousand will flee at the threat of one man;
You will flee at the threat of five,
Until you are left as ar Lit poleflag on a mountain top
And as a signal on a hill.
18 
Therefore the LORDs Lit waitslongs to be gracious to you,
And therefore Het Lit is on highwaits on high to have compassion on you.
For the LORD is a God of justice;
How blessed are all those whou Lit waitlong for Him.
19 v M.T. reads A people will inhabit Zion, JerusalemO people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. 20 Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. 21 Your ears will hear a word behind you, “w Lit saying, “ThisThis is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. 22 And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing, and say tox Lit it “Go out”them, “Be gone!”
23 Then He will give you rain fory Lit yourthe seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will bez Lit fatnessrich andaa Lit fatplenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture. 24 Also the oxen and the donkeys which work the ground will eat salted fodder, whichab Lit one winnowshas been winnowed with shovel and fork. 25 On every lofty mountain and on every high hill there will beac Lit canals, streams of waterstreams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day the LORD binds up the fracture of His people and heals the bruisead Lit of His blowHe has inflicted.
27 
Behold, the name of the LORD comes from aae Lit distanceremote place;
Burning is His anger andaf Lit heavinessdense is Hisag Lit upliftingsmoke;
His lips are filled with indignation
And His tongue is like a consuming fire;
28 
His breath is like an overflowing torrent,
Which reaches to the neck,
To shake the nations back and forth in aah Lit sifting of the worthlesssieve,
And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle whichai Lit misleadsleads to ruin.
29 
You will haveaj Lit the songsongs as in the night when you keep the festival,
And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute,
To go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
30 
And the LORD will causeak Lit the majesty of His voiceHis voice of authority to be heard,
And theal Lit descentdescending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger,
And in the flame of a consuming fire
In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.
31 
For at the voice of the LORD Assyria will be terrified,
When He strikes with the rod.
32 
And everyam Lit passingblow of thean Lit staff of foundationrod of punishment,
Which the LORD will lay on him,
Will be with the music of tambourines and lyres;
And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them.
33 
Forao I.e. the place of human sacrifice to MolechTopheth has long been ready,
Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.
He has made it deep and large,
ap Lit Its pileA pyre of fire with plenty of wood;
The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.

Isaiah, Chapter 31

1 
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help
And rely on horses,
And trust in chariots because they are many
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD!
2 
Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster
And does not retract His words,
But will arise against the house of evildoers
And against the help of the workers of iniquity.
3 
Now the Egyptians are men and not God,
And their horses are flesh and not spirit;
So the LORD will stretch out His hand,
And he who helps will stumble
And he who is helped will fall,
And all of them will come to an end together.
4 For thus says the LORD to me,“As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey,
Against which a band of shepherds is called out,
And he will not be terrified at their voice nor disturbed at their noise,
So will the LORD of hosts come down to wage war on Mount Zion and on its hill.”
5Likea Or hoveringflying birds so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem.
He will protect and deliver it;
He will pass over and rescue it.
6 Return to Him from whomb Lit theyyou have deeply defected, O sons of Israel. 7 For in that day every man will cast away his silver idols and his gold idols, which your sinful hands have made for you as a sin.
8 
And the Assyrian will fall by a sword not of man,
And a sword not of man will devour him.
So he willc Lit fleenot escape the sword,
And his young men will become forced laborers.
9 
“His rock will pass away because of panic,
And his princes will be terrified at the standard,”
Declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

Isaiah, Chapter 32

1 
Behold, a king will reign righteously
And princes will rule justly.
2 
Each will be like a refuge from the wind
And a shelter from the storm,
Likea Lit canalsstreams of water in a dry country,
Like the shade of ab Lit heavyhuge rock inc Lit an exhausteda parched land.
3 
Then the eyes of those who see will not bed Or turned awayblinded,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 
Thee Lit heartmind of the hasty will discern thef Lit knowledgetruth,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
5 
No longer will the fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
6 
For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heartg Or doesinclines toward wickedness:
To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD,
Toh Lit make empty the hungry soulkeep the hungry person unsatisfied
Andi Lit he causes to lackto withhold drink from the thirsty.
7 
As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy the afflicted withj Lit words of falsehoodslander,
Even though the needy one speaksk Lit justlywhat is right.
8 
But the noble man devises noble plans;
And by noble plans he stands.
9 
Rise up, you women who are at ease,
And hear my voice;
Give ear to my word,
You complacent daughters.
10 
Within a year and a few days
You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;
For the vintage is ended,
And the fruit gathering will not come.
11 
Tremble, you women who are at ease;
Be troubled, you complacent daughters;
Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,
12 
Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
13 
For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;
Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.
14 
Because the palace has been abandoned, thel Lit multitude of thepopulated city forsaken.
m Or OphelHill and watch-tower have become caves forever,
A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
15 
Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a fertile field,
And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
16 
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness
And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.
17 
And the work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, quietness andn Or securityconfidence forever.
18 
Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation,
And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;
19 
And it will hail when the forest comes down,
And the city will be utterly laid low.
20 
How blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,
Whoo Lit send out the foot of the oxlet out freely the ox and the donkey.

Isaiah, Chapter 33

1 
Woe to you, O destroyer,
While you were not destroyed;
And he who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him.
As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed;
As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, others will deal treacherously with you.
2 
O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for You.
Bea Some versions read ourtheirb Lit armstrength every morning,
Our salvation also in the time of distress.
3 
At the sound of the tumult peoples flee;
At the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.
4 
Your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers;
As locusts rushing about men rush about on it.
5 
The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high;
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 
And He will be thec Or faithfulnessstability of your times,
A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge;
The fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 
Behold, their brave men cry ind Lit the outsidethe streets,
Thee Lit messengersambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 
The highways are desolate,f Lit he who passes along the waythe traveler has ceased,
He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities,
He has no regard for man.
9 
The land mourns and pines away,
Lebanon is shamed and withers;
Sharon is like a desert plain,
And Bashan and Carmelg Lit shake offlose their foliage.
10 
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD,
“Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up.
11 
“You have conceivedh Lit dry grasschaff, you will give birth to stubble;
i So one ancient version; M.T. reads Your breath willMy breath will consume you like a fire.
12 
“The peoples will be burned to lime,
Like cut thorns which are burned in the fire.
13 
“You who are far away, hear what I have done;
And you who are near,j Lit knowacknowledge My might.”
14 
Sinners in Zion are terrified;
Trembling has seized the godless.
“Who among us can live with the consuming fire?
Who among us can live withk Lit everlastingcontinual burning?”
15 
He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity,
He who rejectsl Lit gain of extortionersunjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;
16 
He will dwell on the heights,
His refuge will be them Lit stronghold of rockimpregnable rock;
His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.
17 
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;
They will behold a far-distant land.
18 
Your heart will meditate on terror:
“Where is he who counts?
Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
19 
You will no longer see a fierce people,
A people ofn Lit deepness of lipunintelligible speecho Lit from hearingwhich no one comprehends,
Of a stammering tonguep Lit there is no understandingwhich no one understands.
20 
Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an undisturbed habitation,
A tent which will not be folded;
Its stakes will never be pulled up,
Nor any of its cords be torn apart.
21 
But there the majestic One, the LORD, will be for us
A place of rivers and wide canals
On which no boat with oars will go,
And on which no mighty ship will pass—
22 
For the LORD is our judge,
The LORD is our lawgiver,
The LORD is our king;
He will save us—
23 
Your tackle hangs slack;
It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly,
Nor spread out the sail.
Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided;
The lame will take the plunder.
24 
And no resident will say, “I am sick”;
The people who dwellq Lit in itthere will be forgiven their iniquity.

Isaiah, Chapter 34

1 
Draw near, O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!
Let the earth anda Lit its fullnessall it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2 
For the LORD’S indignation is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies;
He hasb Lit put under the banutterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to slaughter.
3 
So their slain will be thrown out,
And their corpsesc Lit their stench will go upwill give off their stench,
And the mountains willd Lit dissolvebe drenched with their blood.
4 
And all the host of heaven wille Lit rotwear away,
And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All their hosts will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
5 
For My sword is satiated in heaven,
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon Edom
And upon the people whom I have devoted to destruction.
6 
The sword of the LORD is filled with blood,
It isf Lit made fatsated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 
Wild oxen will alsog Lit go downfall with them
And young bulls with strong ones;
Thus their land will be soaked with blood,
And their dusth Lit made fatbecome greasy with fat.
8 
For the LORD has a day of vengeance,
A year of recompense for thei Or controversycause of Zion.
9 
j I.e. Edom’sIts streams will be turned into pitch,
And its loose earth into brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10 
It will not be quenched night or day;
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation it will be desolate;
None will pass through it forever and ever.
11 
Butk Or owl or jackdawpelican and hedgehog will possess it,
Andl Or great horned owlowl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the line ofm Or formlessnessdesolation
And then Lit stones of voidplumb line of emptiness.
12 
Its nobles—there is no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be nothing.
13 
Thorns will come up in its fortified towers,
Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
14 
The desert creatures will meet with theo Or howling creatureswolves,
Thep Or demonhairy goat also will cry to its kind;
Yes, theq Heb Lilithnight monster will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.
15 
The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under itsr Lit shadeprotection.
Yes, thes Or kiteshawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.
16 Seek from the book of the LORD, and read:Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
Fort So DSS; M.T. MyHis mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17He has cast the lot for them,
And His hand has divided it to them by line.
They shall possess it forever;
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

Isaiah, Chapter 35

1 
The wilderness and the desert will be glad,
And thea Or desertArabah will rejoice and blossom;
Like the crocus
2 
It will blossom profusely
And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
The majesty of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the glory of the LORD,
The majesty of our God.
3 
Encourage theb Lit slack handsexhausted, and strengthen thec Lit tottering kneesfeeble.
4 
Say to those with anxious heart,
“Take courage, fear not.
Behold, your God will come with vengeance;
The recompense of God will come,
But He will save you.”
5 
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened
And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
6 
Then the lame will leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.
For waters will break forth in the wilderness
And streams in thed Or desertArabah.
7 
Thee Or miragescorched land will become a pool
And the thirsty ground springs of water;
In the haunt of jackals, its resting place,
Grass becomes reeds and rushes.
8 
A highway will be there, a roadway,
And it will be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for him who walks that way,
And fools will not wander on it.
9 
No lion will be there,
Nor will any vicious beast go up on it;
f Lit ItThese will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk there,
10 
And the ransomed of the LORD will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
With everlasting joy upon their heads.
They willg Lit overtakefind gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
