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!'

- 21:12 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.'

- 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!'

ISAIAH CHAPTER 23
- Isaiah 23:1 The Burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For it hath been destroyed, Without house, without entrance, From the land of Chittim it was revealed to them.
- 23:2 Be silent, ye inhabitants of the isle, Trader of Zidon, passing the sea, they filled thee.
- 23:3 And in many waters [is] the seed of Sihor, The harvest of the brook [is] her increase, And she is a mart of nations.
- 23:4 Be ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea spake, The strength of the sea, saying: 'I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth, Nor have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up virgins.'
- 23:5 As [at] the report of Egypt they are pained, So [at] the report of Tyre.
- 23:6 Pass over to Tarshish, howl, ye inhabitants of the isle,
- 23:7 Is this your exulting one? From the days of old [is] her antiquity, Carry her do her own feet afar off to sojourn.
- 23:8 Who hath counselled this against Tyre, The crowning one, whose traders [are] princes, Her merchants the honoured of earth?'
- 23:9 YHWH of Hosts hath counselled it, To pollute the excellency of all beauty, To make light all the honoured of earth.
- Isaiah 23:10 Pass through thy land as a brook, Daughter of Tarshish, there is no more a girdle.
- 23:11 His hand He hath stretched out over the sea, He hath caused kingdoms to tremble, YHWH hath charged concerning the merchant one, To destroy her strong places.
- 23:12 And He saith, 'Thou dost not add any more to exult, O oppressed one, virgin daughter of Zidon, To Chittim arise, pass over, Even there -- there is no rest for thee.'
- 23:13 Lo, the land of the Chaldeans -- this people was not, Asshur founded it for the Ziim, They raised its watch-towers, They lifted up her palaces, -- He hath appointed her for a ruin!
- 23:14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For your strength hath been destroyed.
- 23:15 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That forgotten is Tyre seventy years, According to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years there is to Tyre as the song of the harlot.
- 23:16 Take a harp, go round the city, O forgotten harlot, play well, Multiply song that thou mayest be remembered.
- 23:17 And it hath come to pass, At the end of seventy years YHWH inspecteth Tyre, And she hath repented of her gift, That she committed fornication With all kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground.
- 23:18 And her merchandise and her gift have been holy to YHWH, Not treasured up nor stored, For to those sitting before YHWH is her merchandise, To eat to satiety, and for a lasting covering!

ISAIAH CHAPTER 24
- Isaiah 24:1 Lo, YHWH is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered its inhabitants.
- 24:2 And it hath been -- as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
- 24:3 Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH hath spoken this word:
- 24:4 Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they -- the high place of the people of the land.
- 24:5 And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.
- 24:6 Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.
- 24:7 Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.
- 24:8 Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.

- Isaiah 24:10 It was broken down -- a city of emptiness, Shut hath been every house from entrance.
- 24:11 A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.
- 24:12 Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.
- 24:13 When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,
- 24:14 They -- they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
- 24:15 Therefore in prosperity honour ye YHWH, In isles of the sea, the name of YHWH, God of Israel.
- 24:16 From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, 'Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, wo [is] to me.' Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
- 24:17 Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.
- 24:18 And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.
- 24:19 Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.
- Isaiah 24:20 Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.
- 24:21 And it hath come to pass, in that day, YHWH layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.
- 24:22 And they have been gathered -- A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
- 24:23 And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath YHWH of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders -- honour!

- 25:2 For Thou didst make of a city a heap, Of a fenced city a ruin, A high place of strangers from [being] a city, To the age it is not built.
- 25:3 Therefore honour Thee do a strong people, A city of the terrible nations feareth Thee.
- 25:4 For Thou hast been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow from heat, When the spirit of the terrible [is] as a storm -- a wall.
- 25:5 As heat in a dry place, The noise of strangers Thou humblest, Heat with the shadow of a thick cloud, The singing of the terrible is humbled.

- 26:4 Trust ye in YHWH for ever, For in Jah YHWH [is] a rock of ages,
- 26:5 For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto the dust,
- 26:6 Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor -- steps of the weak.
- 26:7 The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.

- 26:13 O YHWH our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy name.
- 26:14 Dead -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
- 26:15 Thou hast added to the nation, O YHWH, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of earth.
- 26:16 O YHWH, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them.
- 26:17 When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained -- she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O YHWH.
