ISAIAH CHAPTER 1

Isaiah 1:1 The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For YHWH hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they -- they transgressed against Me.
1:3 An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.
1:4 Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons -- corrupters! They have forsaken YHWH, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.
1:5 Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostacy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.
1:6 From the sole of the foot -- unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.
1:7 Your land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!
1:8 And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers -- as a city besieged.
1:9 Unless YHWH of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly -- as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!
Isaiah 1:10 Hear the word of YHWH, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,
1:11 `Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith YHWH, I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.
1:12 When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?
1:13 Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense -- an abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity -- and a restraint!
1:14 Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.
1:15 And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.
1:16 Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.
1:17 Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.
1:18 Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith YHWH, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!
1:19 If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,
Isaiah 1:20 And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of YHWH hath spoken.
1:21 How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it -- now murderers.
1:22 Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.
1:23 Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.
1:24 Therefore -- the affirmation of the Lord -- YHWH of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,
1:25 And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,
1:26 And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A city of righteousness -- a faithful city.'
1:27 Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.
1:28 And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking YHWH are consumed.
1:29 For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.
Isaiah 1:30 For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.
1:31 And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 2

Isaiah 2:1 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2:2 And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, Established is the mount of YHWH's house, Above the top of the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And flowed unto it have all the nations.
2:3 And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up unto the mount of YHWH, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
2:4 And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more -- war.
2:5 O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of YHWH.'
2:6 For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands.
2:7 And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,
2:8 And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made,
2:9 And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou acceptest them not.
Isaiah 2:10 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honour of His excellency.
2:11 The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath YHWH alone been in that day.
2:12 For a day [is] to YHWH of Hosts, For every proud and high one, And for every lifted up and low one,
2:13 And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,
2:14 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted heights,
2:15 And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall,
2:16 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.
2:17 And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath YHWH alone been in that day.
2:18 And the idols -- they completely pass away.
2:19 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into caves of dust, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
Isaiah 2:20 In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To moles, and to bats,
2:21 To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the high places, Because of the fear of YHWH, And because of the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth.
2:22 Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils, For -- in what is he esteemed?

ISAIAH CHAPTER 3

Isaiah 3:1 For, lo, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
3:2 Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elder,
3:3 Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers.
3:4 And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over them.
3:5 And the people hath exacted -- man upon man, Even a man on his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured.
3:6 When one layeth hold on his brother, [Of] the house of his father, [by] the garment, `Come, a ruler thou art to us, And this ruin [is] under thy hand.'
3:7 He lifteth up, in that day, saying: `I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, Ye do not make me a ruler of the people.'
3:8 For stumbled hath Jerusalem, and Judah hath fallen, For their tongue and their doings [are] against YHWH, To provoke the eyes of His glory.
3:9 The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Wo to their soul, For they have done to themselves evil.
Isaiah 3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that [it is] good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.
3:11 Wo to the wicked -- evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.
3:12 My people -- its exactors [are] sucklings, And women have ruled over it. My people -- thy eulogists are causing to err, And the way of thy paths swallowed up.
3:13 YHWH hath stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge the peoples.
3:14 YHWH into judgment doth enter With elders of His people, and its heads: `And ye, ye have consumed the vineyard, Plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.
3:15 What -- to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, And YHWH saith:
3:16 `Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving [with] the eyes, Walking and mincing they go, And with their feet they make a tinkling,
3:17 The Lord also hath scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And YHWH their simplicity exposeth.
3:18 In that day doth the Lord turn aside The beauty of the tinkling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the round tires like moons,
3:19 Of the drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
Isaiah 3:20 Of the bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,
3:21 Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,
3:22 Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses,
3:23 Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the vails,
3:24 And it hath been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
3:25 For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle.
3:26 And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 4

Isaiah 4:1 And taken hold have seven women on one man, In that day, saying, `Our own bread we do eat, And our own raiment we put on, Only, let thy name be called over us, Remove thou our reproach.'
4:2 In that day is the Shoot of YHWH for desire and for honour, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for beauty to the escaped of Israel.
4:3 And it hath been, he who is left in Zion, And he who is remaining in Jerusalem, `Holy' is said of him, Of every one who is written for life in Jerusalem.
4:4 If the Lord hath washed away The filth of daughters of Zion, And the blood of Jerusalem purgeth from her midst, By the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
4:5 Then hath YHWH prepared Over every fixed place of Mount Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And the shining of a flaming fire by night, That, over all honour a safe-guard,
4:6 And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 5

Isaiah 5:1 Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
5:2 And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
5:3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
5:4 What -- to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
5:5 And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.
5:6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.
5:7 Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.
5:8 Wo [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
5:9 By the weapons of YHWH of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!
Isaiah 5:10 For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.
5:11 Wo [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them!
5:12 And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of YHWH they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.
5:13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
5:14 Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one -- into her.
5:15 And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
5:16 And YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
5:17 And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
5:18 Wo [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart -- sin.
5:19 Who are saying, `Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'
Isaiah 5:20 Wo [to] those saying to evil `good,' And to good `evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
5:21 Wo [to] the wise in their own eyes, And -- before their own faces -- intelligent!
5:22 Wo [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
5:23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
5:24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of YHWH of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.
5:25 Therefore hath the anger of YHWH burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
5:26 And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.
5:27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals.
5:28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!
5:29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering.
Isaiah 5:30 And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness -- distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 6

Isaiah 6:1 In the year of the death of king Uzziah -- I see the Lord, sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is filling the temple.
6:2 Seraphs are standing above it: six wings hath each one; with two [each] covereth its face, and with two [each] covereth its feet, and with two [each] flieth.
6:3 And this one hath called unto that, and hath said: `Holy, Holy, Holy, [is] YHWH of Hosts, The fulness of all the earth [is] His glory.'
6:4 And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke.
6:5 And I say, `Wo to me, for I have been silent, For a man -- unclean of lips [am] I, And in midst of a people unclean of lips I am dwelling, Because the King, YHWH of Hosts, have my eyes seen.'
6:6 And flee unto me doth one of the seraphs, and in his hand a burning coal, (with tongs he hath taken [it] from off the altar,)
6:7 and he striketh against my mouth, and saith: `Lo, this hath stricken against thy lips, And turned aside is thine iniquity, And thy sin is covered.'
6:8 And I hear the voice of the Lord, saying: `Whom do I send? and who doth go for Us?' And I say, `Here [am] I, send me.'
6:9 And He saith, `Go, and thou hast said to this people, Hear ye -- to hear, and ye do not understand, And see ye -- to see, and ye do not know.
Isaiah 6:10 Declare fat the heart of this people, And its ears declare heavy, And its eyes declare dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And with its ears hear, and its heart consider, And it hath turned back, and hath health.'
6:11 And I say, `Till when, O Lord?' And He saith, `Surely till cities have been wasted without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground be wasted -- a desolation,
6:12 And YHWH hath put man far off, And great [is] the forsaken part in the heart of the land.
6:13 And yet in it a tenth, and it hath turned, And hath been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Have substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 7

Isaiah 7:1 And it cometh to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, gone up hath Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is not able to fight against it.
7:2 And it is declared to the house of David, saying, `Aram hath been led towards Ephraim,' And his heart and the heart of his people is moved, like the moving of trees of a forest by the presence of wind.
7:3 And YHWH saith unto Isaiah, `Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-Jashub thy son, unto the end of the conduit of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller's field,
7:4 and thou hast said unto him: `Take heed, and be quiet, fear not, And let not thy heart be timid, Because of these two tails of smoking brands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin and Aram, And the son of Remaliah.
7:5 Because that Aram counselled against thee evil, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
7:6 We go up into Judah, and we vex it, And we rend it unto ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst -- The son of Tabeal.
7:7 Thus said the Lord YHWH: It doth not stand, nor shall it be!
7:8 For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, And the head of Damascus [is] Rezin, And within sixty and five years Is Ephraim broken from [being] a people.
7:9 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, And the head of Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If ye do not give credence, Surely ye are not stedfast.'
Isaiah 7:10 And YHWH addeth to speak unto Ahaz, saying:
7:11 `Ask for thee a sign from YHWH thy God, Make deep the request, or make [it] high upwards.'
7:12 And Ahaz saith, `I do not ask nor try YHWH.'
7:13 And he saith, `Hear, I pray you, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That ye weary also my God?
7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,
7:15 Butter and honey he doth eat, When he knoweth to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
7:16 For before the youth doth know To refuse evil, and to fix on good, Forsaken is the land thou art vexed with, because of her two kings.
7:17 YHWH bringeth on thee, and on thy people, And on the house of thy father, Days that have not come, Even from the day of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of Asshur.
7:18 And it hath come to pass, in that day, YHWH doth hiss for a fly that [is] in the extremity of the brooks of Egypt, And for a bee that [is] in the land of Asshur.
7:19 And they have come, and rested all of them in the desolate valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And on all the commendable things.
Isaiah 7:20 In that day doth the Lord shave, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Yea, also the beard it consumeth.
7:21 And it hath come to pass, in that day, A man keepeth alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
7:22 And it hath come to pass, From the abundance of the yielding of milk he eateth butter, For butter and honey doth every one eat Who is left in the heart of the land.
7:23 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Every place where there are a thousand vines, At a thousand silverlings, Is for briers and for thorns.
7:24 With arrows and with bow he cometh thither, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
7:25 And all the hills that with a mattock are kept in order, Thither cometh not the fear of brier and thorn, And it hath been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 8

Isaiah 8:1 And YHWH saith unto me, `Take to thee a great tablet, and write upon it with a graving tool of man, To haste spoil, enjoy prey.'
8:2 And I cause faithful witnesses to testify to me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
8:3 And I draw near unto the prophetess, and she conceiveth, and beareth a son; and YHWH saith unto me, `Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
8:4 for before the youth doth know to cry, My father, and My mother, one taketh away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, before the king of Asshur.'
8:5 And YHWH addeth to speak unto me again, saying:
8:6 `Because that this people hath refused The waters of Shiloah that go softly, And is rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
8:7 Therefore, lo, the Lord is bringing up on them, The waters of the river, the mighty and the great, (The king of Asshur, and all his glory,) And it hath gone up over all its streams, And hath gone on over all its banks.
8:8 And it hath passed on into Judah, It hath overflown and passed over, Unto the neck it cometh, And the stretching out of its wings Hath been the fulness of the breadth of thy land, O Emmanu-El!
8:9 Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all ye far off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.
Isaiah 8:10 Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it doth not stand, Because of Emmanu-El!'
8:11 For thus hath YHWH spoken unto me with strength of hand, and instructeth me against walking in the way of this people, saying,
8:12 `Ye do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people saith, A confederacy, And its fear ye do not fear, Nor declare fearful.
8:13 YHWH of Hosts -- Him ye do sanctify, And He [is] your Fear, and He your Dread,
8:14 And He hath been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
8:15 And many among them have stumbled and fallen, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
8:16 Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among My disciples.
8:17 And I have waited for YHWH, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.
8:18 Lo, I, and the children whom YHWH hath given to me, [Are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, From YHWH of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.
8:19 And when they say unto you, `Seek unto those having familiar spirits, And unto wizards, who chatter and mutter, Doth not a people seek unto its God? -- For the living unto the dead!
Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, `That there is no dawn to it.'
8:21 -- And it hath passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it hath come to pass, That it is hungry, and hath been wroth, And made light of its king, and of its God, And hath looked upwards.
8:22 And unto the land it looketh attentively, And lo, adversity and darkness! -- Dimness, distress, and thick darkness is driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 9

Isaiah 9:1 As the former time made light The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter hath honoured the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
9:2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon them.
9:3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
9:4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as [in] the day of Midian.
9:5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning -- fuel of fire.
9:6 For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
9:7 To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts doth this.
9:8 A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in Israel.
9:9 And the people have known -- all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
Isaiah 9:10 `Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.'
9:11 And YHWH setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And his enemies he joineth together,
9:12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
9:13 And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And YHWH of Hosts they have not sought.
9:14 And YHWH cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed -- the same day,
9:15 Elder, and accepted of face, he [is] the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he [is] the tail.
9:16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.
9:17 Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one [is] profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
9:18 For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
9:19 In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts Hath the land been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his brother hath no pity,
Isaiah 9:20 And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each the flesh of his own arm they devour.
9:21 Manasseh -- Ephraim, and Ephraim -- Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 10

Isaiah 10:1 Wo [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness.
10:2 To turn aside from judgment the poor, And to take violently away the judgment Of the afflicted of My people, That widows may be their prey, That the fatherless they may spoil.
10:3 And what do ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation? -- from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And where do ye leave your honour?
10:4 Without Me it hath bowed down In the place of a bound one, And in the place of the slain they fall. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
10:5 Wo [to] Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their hand [is] Mine indignation.
10:6 Against a profane nation I send him, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
10:7 And he -- he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not so, For -- to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations not a few.
10:8 For he saith, `Are not my princes altogether kings?
10:9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
Isaiah 10:10 As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
10:11 Do I not -- as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?
10:12 And it hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil all His work In mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur. And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
10:13 For he hath said, `By the power of my hand I have wrought, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled, And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants,
10:14 And my hand as to a nest Getteth to the wealth of the peoples, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs All the earth I -- I have gathered, And there hath not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.'
10:15 -- Doth the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Doth the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
10:16 Therefore doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth a burning As the burning of a fire.
10:17 And the light of Israel hath been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it hath burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
10:18 And the honour of his forest, and his fruitful field, From soul even unto flesh He doth consume, And it hath been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
10:19 And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth doth write them.
Isaiah 10:20 And it hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
10:21 A remnant returneth -- a remnant of Jacob, Unto the Mighty God.
10:22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant doth return of it, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
10:23 For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
10:24 Therefore, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, `Be not afraid, my people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, With a rod he doth smite thee, And his staff lifteth up against thee, in the way of Egypt.
10:25 For yet a very little, And the indignation hath been completed, And Mine anger by their wearing out.
10:26 And awaking for him is YHWH of Hosts, A scourge like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he hath lifted it in the way of Egypt.
10:27 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Turned is his burden from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, And destroyed hath been the yoke, because of prosperity.
10:28 He hath come in against Aiath, He hath passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looketh after his vessels.
10:29 They have gone over the passage, Geba they have made a lodging place, Trembled hath Rama, Gibeah of Saul fled.
Isaiah 10:30 Cry aloud [with] thy voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! answer her, Anathoth.
10:31 Fled away hath Madmenah, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
10:32 Yet to-day in Nob to remain, Wave its hand doth the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
10:33 Lo, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty are become low,
10:34 And He hath gone round the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon by a mighty one falleth!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 11

Isaiah 11:1 And a rod hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots is fruitful.
11:2 Rested on him hath the Spirit of YHWH, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and fear of YHWH.
11:3 To refresh him in the fear of YHWH, And by the sight of his eyes he judgeth not, Nor by the hearing of his ears decideth.
11:4 And he hath judged in righteousness the poor, And decided in uprightness for the humble of earth, And hath smitten earth with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips he putteth the wicked to death.
11:5 And righteousness hath been the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness -- the girdle of his reins.
11:6 And a wolf hath sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard with a kid doth lie down, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over them.
11:7 And cow and bear do feed, Together lie down their young ones, And a lion as an ox eateth straw.
11:8 And played hath a suckling by the hole of an asp, And on the den of a cockatrice Hath the weaned one put his hand.
11:9 Evil they do not, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For full hath been the earth with the knowledge of YHWH, As the waters are covering the sea.
Isaiah 11:10 And there hath been, in that day, A root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Unto him do nations seek, And his rest hath been -- honour!
11:11 And it hath come to pass, in that day, The Lord addeth a second time his power, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from isles of the sea,
11:12 And He hath lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathereth the driven away of Israel, And the scattered of Judah He assembleth, From the four wings of the earth.
11:13 And turned aside hath the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim doth not envy Judah, And Judah doth not distress Ephraim.
11:14 And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying them.
11:15 And YHWH hath devoted to destruction The tongue of the sea of Egypt, And hath waved His hand over the river, In the terror of his wind, And hath smitten it at the seven streams, And hath caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.
11:16 And there hath been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 12

Isaiah 12:1 And thou hast said in that day: `I thank thee, O YHWH, Though Thou hast been angry with me, Turn back doth Thine anger, And Thou dost comfort me.
12:2 Lo, God [is] my salvation, I trust, and fear not, For my strength and song [is] Jah YHWH, And He is to me for salvation.
12:3 And ye have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of salvation,
12:4 And ye have said in that day, Give ye praise to YHWH, call in His name. Make known among the peoples His acts. Make mention that set on high is His name.
12:5 Praise ye YHWH, for excellence He hath done, Known is this in all the earth.
12:6 Cry aloud, and sing, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in thy midst [is] the Holy One of Israel!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 13

Isaiah 13:1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen:
13:2 `On a high mountain lift ye up an ensign, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go in to the openings of nobles.
13:3 I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for Mine anger, Those rejoicing at Mine excellency.'
13:4 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, YHWH of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
13:5 They are coming in from a land afar off, From the end of the heavens, YHWH and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
13:6 Howl ye, for near [is] the day of YHWH, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh.
13:7 Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt.
13:8 And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames -- their faces!
13:9 Lo, the day of YHWH doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it.
Isaiah 13:10 For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Cause not their light to shine, Darkened hath been the sun in its going out, And the moon causeth not its light to come forth.
13:11 And I have appointed on the world evil, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused to cease the excellency of the proud, And the excellency of the terrible I make low.
13:12 I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
13:13 Therefore the heavens I cause to tremble, And the earth doth shake from its place, In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of his anger.
13:14 And it hath been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that hath no gatherer, Each unto his people -- they turn, And each unto his land -- they flee.
13:15 Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth by sword.
13:16 And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with.
13:17 Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold -- they delight not in it.
13:18 And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity.
13:19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
Isaiah 13:20 She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie not down there.
13:21 And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do skip there.
13:22 And Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come [is] her time, And her days are not drawn out!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 14

Isaiah 14:1 Because YHWH loveth Jacob, And hath fixed again on Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And joined hath been the sojourner to them, And they have been admitted to the house of Jacob.
14:2 And peoples have taken them, And have brought them in unto their place, And the house of Israel have inherited them, On the land of YHWH, For men-servants and for maid-servants, And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled over their exactors.
14:3 And it hath come to pass, In the day of YHWH's giving rest to thee, From thy grief, and from thy trouble, And from the sharp bondage, That hath been served upon thee,
14:4 That thou hast taken up this simile Concerning the king of Babylon, and said, How hath the exactor ceased,
14:5 Ceased hath the golden one. Broken hath YHWH the staff of the wicked, The sceptre of rulers.
14:6 He who is smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing without restraint!
14:7 At rest -- quiet hath been all the earth, They have broken forth [into] singing.
14:8 Even firs have rejoiced over thee, Cedars of Lebanon -- [saying]: Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not up against us.
14:9 Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of nations.
Isaiah 14:10 All of them answer and say unto thee, Even thou hast become weak like us! Unto us thou hast become like!
14:11 Brought down to Sheol hath been thine excellency, The noise of thy psaltery, Under thee spread out hath been the worm, Yea, covering thee is the worm.
14:12 How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of nations.
14:13 And thou saidst in thy heart: the heavens I go up, Above stars of God I raise my throne, And I sit in the mount of meeting in the sides of the north.
14:14 I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.
14:15 Only -- unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto the sides of the pit.
14:16 Thy beholders look to thee, to thee they attend, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?
14:17 He hath made the world as a wilderness, And his cities he hath broken down, Of his bound ones he opened not the house.
14:18 All kings of nations -- all of them, Have lain down in honour, each in his house,
14:19 And -- thou hast been cast out of thy grave, As an abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of the sword, Going down unto the sons of the pit, As a carcase trodden down.
Isaiah 14:20 Thou art not united with them in burial, For thy land thou hast destroyed, Thy people thou hast slain, Not named to the age is the seed of evil doers.
14:21 Prepare ye for his sons slaughter; Because of the iniquity of their fathers, They rise not, nor have possessed the land, Nor filled the face of the world [with] cities.
14:22 And I have risen up against them, (The affirmation of YHWH of Hosts,) And have cut off, in reference to Babylon, Name and remnant, and continuator and successor, The affirmation of YHWH.
14:23 And have made it for a possession of a bittern, And ponds of waters, And daubed it with the mire of destruction, The affirmation of YHWH of Hosts!
14:24 Sworn hath YHWH of Hosts, saying, `As I thought -- so hath it not been? And as I counselled -- it standeth;
14:25 To break Asshur in My land, And on My mountains I tread him down, And turned from off them hath his yoke, Yea, his burden from off their shoulder turneth aside.
14:26 This [is] the counsel that is counselled for all the earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for all the nations.
14:27 For YHWH of Hosts hath purposed, And who doth make void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who doth turn it back?'
14:28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden:
14:29 Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent cometh out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying saraph.
Isaiah 14:30 And delighted have the first-born of the poor, And the needy in confidence lie down, And I have put to death with famine thy root, And thy remnant it slayeth.
14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city, Melted art thou, Philistia, all of thee, For from the north smoke hath come, And there is none alone in his set places.
14:32 And what doth one answer the messengers of a nation? `That YHWH hath founded Zion, And in it do the poor of His people trust!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 15

Isaiah 15:1 The burden of Moab. Because in a night destroyed was Ar of Moab -- It hath been cut off, Because in a night destroyed was Kir of Moab -- It hath been cut off.
15:2 He hath gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places -- to weep, On Nebo and on Medeba Moab howleth, On all its heads [is] baldness, every beard cut off.
15:3 In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Every one howleth -- going down with weeping.
15:4 And cry doth Heshbon and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz heard hath been their voice, Therefore the armed ones of Moab do shout, His life hath been grievous to him.
15:5 My heart [is] toward Moab, Cry do her fugitives unto Zoar, a heifer of the third [year], For -- the ascent of Luhith -- With weeping he goeth up in it, For, in the way of Horonaim, A cry of destruction they wake up.
15:6 For, the waters of Nimrim are desolations, For, withered hath been the hay, Finished hath been the tender grass, A green thing there hath not been.
15:7 Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, Unto the brook of the willows they carry.
15:8 For gone round hath the cry the border of Moab, Unto Eglaim [is] its howling, And to Beer-Elim [is] its howling.
15:9 For the waters of Dimon have been full of blood, For I set on Dimon additions, For the escaped of Moab a lion, And for the remnant of Adamah!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 16

Isaiah 16:1 Send ye a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, Unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
16:2 And it hath come to pass, As a wandering bird, a nest cast out, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords of Arnon.
16:3 Bring ye in counsel, do judgment, Make as night thy shadow in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, the wanderer reveal not.
16:4 Sojourn in thee do My outcasts, O Moab, Be a secret hiding-place to them, From the face of a destroyer, For ceased hath the extortioner, Finished hath been a destroyer, Consumed the treaders down out of the land.
16:5 And established in kindness is the throne, And [one] hath sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
16:6 We have heard of the pride of Moab -- very proud, His pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath, Not right [are] his devices.
16:7 Therefore howl doth Moab for Moab, all of it doth howl, For the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth it meditateth, Surely they are smitten.
16:8 Because fields of Heshbon languish, The vine of Sibmah, Lords of nations did beat her choice vines, Unto Jazer they have come, They have wandered in a wilderness, Her plants have spread themselves, They have passed over a sea.
16:9 Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I water thee [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For -- for thy summer fruits, and for thy harvest, The shouting hath fallen.
Isaiah 16:10 And removed have been gladness and joy from the fruitful field, And in vineyards they sing not, nor shout, Wine in the presses treadeth not the treader, Shouting I have caused to cease.
16:11 Therefore my bowels for Moab as a harp do sound, And mine inward parts for Kir-Haresh.
16:12 And it hath come to pass, when it hath been seen, That weary hath been Moab on the high place, And he hath come unto his sanctuary to pray, And is not able.
16:13 This [is] the word that YHWH hath spoken unto Moab from that time,
16:14 And now hath YHWH spoken, saying, `In three years, as years of an hireling, Lightly esteemed is the honour of Moab, With all the great multitude, And the remnant [is] little, small, not mighty!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 17

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Lo, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, And it hath been a heap -- a ruin.
17:2 Forsaken are the cities of Aroer, For droves they are, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.
17:3 And ceased hath the fortress from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the honour of the sons of Israel, The affirmation of YHWH of Hosts!
17:4 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Wax poor doth the honour of Jacob, And the fatness of his flesh doth wax lean.
17:5 And it hath come to pass, As the gathering by the reaper of the standing corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim,
17:6 And left in him have been gleanings, As the compassing of an olive, Two -- three berries on the top of a branch, Four -- five on the fruitful boughs, The affirmation of YHWH, God of Israel!
17:7 In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,
17:8 And he looketh not unto the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made He seeth not -- the shrines and the images.
17:9 In that day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It also hath been a desolation.
Isaiah 17:10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And the rock of thy strength hast not remembered, Therefore thou plantest plants of pleasantness, And with a strange slip sowest it,
17:11 In the day thy plant thou causest to become great, And in the morning thy seed makest to flourish, A heap [is] the harvest in a day of overflowing, And of mortal pain.
17:12 Wo [to] the multitude of many peoples, As the sounding of seas they sound; And [to] the wasting of nations, As the wasting of mighty waters they are wasted.
17:13 Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He hath pushed against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a hurricane.
17:14 At even-time, lo, terror, before morning it is not, This [is] the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 18

Isaiah 18:1 Ho, land shadowed [with] wings, That [is] beyond the rivers of Cush,
18:2 That is sending by sea ambassadors, Even with implements of reed on the face of the waters, -- Go, ye light messengers, Unto a nation drawn out and peeled, Unto a people fearful from its beginning and onwards, A nation meeting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled.
18:3 All ye inhabitants of the world, And ye dwellers of earth, At the lifting up of an ensign on hills ye look, And at the blowing of a trumpet ye hear.
18:4 For thus said YHWH unto me, `I rest, and I look on My settled place, As a clear heat on an herb. As a thick cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
18:5 For before harvest, when the flower is perfect, And the blossom is producing unripe fruit, Then hath [one] cut the sprigs with pruning hooks, And the branches he hath turned aside, cut down.
18:6 They are left together to the ravenous fowl of the mountains, And to the beast of the earth, And summered on them hath the ravenous fowl, And every beast of the earth wintereth on them.
18:7 At that time brought is a present to YHWH of Hosts, A nation drawn out and peeled. Even of a people fearful from the beginning hitherto, A nation meting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled, Unto the place of the name of YHWH of Hosts -- mount Zion!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 19

Isaiah 19:1 The burden of Egypt. Lo, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He hath entered Egypt, And moved have been the idols of Egypt at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth in its midst.
19:2 And I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbour, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
19:3 And emptied out hath been in its midst the spirit of Egypt. And its counsel I swallow up, And they have sought unto the idols, And unto the charmers, And unto those having familiar spirits, And unto the wizards.
19:4 And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king doth rule over them, An affirmation of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
19:5 And failed have waters from the sea, And a river is wasted and dried up.
19:6 And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered.
19:7 Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, hath withered, It hath been driven away, and is not.
19:8 And lamented have the fishers, And mourned have all casting angle into a brook, And those spreading nets on the face of the waters have languished.
19:9 And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works.
Isaiah 19:10 And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
19:11 Only, fools [are] the princes of Zoan, The counsel of the wise ones of the counsellors of Pharaoh hath become brutish. How say ye unto Pharaoh, `A son of the wise am I, a son of kings of antiquity?'
19:12 Where [are] they now, thy wise ones? Yea, let them tell to thee, I pray thee, And they know what YHWH of Hosts hath counselled against Egypt!
19:13 Foolish have been princes of Zoan, Lifted up have been princes of Noph, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.
19:14 YHWH hath mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard erreth in his vomit.
19:15 And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.
19:16 In that day is Egypt like women, And it hath mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving over it.
19:17 And the land of Judah hath been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Every one who doth mention it, for himself feareth, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counselling against it.
19:18 In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, `The city of destruction,' is said of one.
19:19 In that day there is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar near its border to YHWH,
Isaiah 19:20 And it hath been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry unto YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sendeth to them a saviour, Even a great one, and hath delivered them.
19:21 And known hath been YHWH to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [it].
19:22 And YHWH hath smitten Egypt, smiting and healing, And they have turned back unto YHWH, And He hath been entreated of them, And hath healed them.
19:23 In that day is a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, And come in have the Assyrians to Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.
19:24 In that day is Israel third, After Egypt, and after Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
19:25 In that YHWH of Hosts did bless it, saying, `Blessed [is] My people -- Egypt, And the work of My hands -- Asshur, And Mine inheritance -- Israel!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 20

Isaiah 20:1 In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when Sargon king of Asshur sendeth him, and he fighteth against Ashdod, and captureth it,
20:2 at that time spake YHWH by the hand of Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, `Go, and thou hast loosed the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy sandal thou dost draw from off thy foot,' and he doth so, going naked and barefoot.
20:3 And YHWH saith, `As My servant Isaiah hath gone naked and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for Cush,
20:4 so doth the king of Asshur lead the captivity of Egypt, and the removal of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with seat uncovered -- the nakedness of Egypt;
20:5 and they have been affrighted and ashamed of Cush their confidence, and of Egypt their beauty,
20:6 and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day -- Lo, thus [is] our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape -- we?'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 21

Isaiah 21:1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. `Like hurricanes in the south for passing through, From the wilderness it hath come, From a fearful land.
21:2 A hard vision hath been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I have caused to cease.
21:3 Therefore filled have been my loins [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
21:4 Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made a fear to me,
21:5 Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye heads, anoint the shield,
21:6 For thus said the Lord unto me: `Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.'
21:7 And he hath seen a chariot -- a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention -- He hath increased attention!
21:8 And he crieth -- a lion, `On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed whole nights.
21:9 And lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: `Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken to the earth.
Isaiah 21:10 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!'
21:11 The burden of Dumah. Unto me is [one] calling from Seir `Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?'
21:12 The watchman hath said, `Come hath morning, and also night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, come.'
21:13 The burden on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers of Dedanim.
21:14 To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the land of Tema, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
21:15 For from the face of destructions they fled, From the face of a stretched-out sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
21:16 For thus said the Lord unto me: `Within a year, as years of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar.
21:17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar are few, For YHWH, God of Israel, hath spoken!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 22

Isaiah 22:1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What -- to thee, now, that thou hast gone up, All of thee -- to the roofs?
22:2 Full of stirs -- a noisy city -- an exulting city, Thy pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle.
22:3 All thy rulers fled together from the bow, Bound have been all found of thee, They have been kept bound together, Afar off they have fled.
22:4 Therefore I said, `Look ye from me, I am bitter in my weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.'
22:5 For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, In the valley of vision, digging down a wall, And crying unto the mountain.
22:6 And Elam hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men -- horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a shield.
22:7 And it cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently at the gate.
22:8 And one removeth the covering of Judah, And thou lookest in that day Unto the armour of the house of the forest,
22:9 And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For they have become many, And ye gather the waters of the lower pool,
Isaiah 22:10 And the houses of Jerusalem ye did number, And ye break down the houses to fence the wall.
22:11 And a ditch ye made between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And ye have not looked unto its Maker, And its Framer of old ye have not seen.
22:12 And call doth the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,
22:13 And lo, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
22:14 And revealed it hath been in mine ears, [By] YHWH of Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
22:15 Thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: `Go, enter in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who [is] over the house:
22:16 What -- to thee here? And who -- to thee here? That thou hast hewn out to thee here -- a sepulchre? Hewing on high his sepulchre, Graving in a rock a dwelling for himself.
22:17 Lo, YHWH is casting thee up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,
22:18 And thy coverer covering, wrapping round, Wrappeth thee round, O babbler, On a land broad of sides -- there thou diest, And there the chariots of thine honour [Are] the shame of the house of thy lord.
22:19 And I have thrust thee from thy station, And from thine office he throweth thee down.
Isaiah 22:20 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That I have called to my servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
22:21 And I have clothed him with thy coat, And with thy girdle I strengthen him, And thy garment I give into his hand, And he hath been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
22:22 And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening.
22:23 And I have fixed him a nail in a stedfast place, And he hath been for a throne of honour To the house of his father.
22:24 And they have hanged on him All the honour of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons.
22:25 In that day -- an affirmation of YHWH of Hosts, Moved is the nail that is fixed In a stedfast place, Yea, it hath been cut down, and hath fallen, And cut off hath been the burden that [is] on it, For YHWH hath spoken!'
