Is ch 1
V1 the vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz
that he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem
in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz,
Hezekiah kings of Judah
V2 I have nourished and brought up children
and they have rebelled against me
V3 the ox knows its owner
and the ass its master’s crib
but Israel does not know, my people do not consider
V4 ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity
a seed of evildoers
children that are corrupters
they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel
unto anger
they are gone away backward
V5 why should you be stricken anymore
you will revolt more and more
the whole head is sick and the whole heart faint
V6 from the sole of the foot unto the head there is no soundness in it
but wounds, bruises, and putrefying sores
they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment
V7 your country is desolate
your cities are burned with fire
your land, strangers devour it in your presence
and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers
V11 to what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me
V16 wash you, make you clean
put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes
cease to do evil
V17 learn to do well
seek judgment, relieve the oppressed
judge the fatherless
plead for the widow
V19 if ye be willing and obedient, you shall eat of the good of the land
The book of Isaiah bible study verse by verse
V20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword
V21 how is the faithful city become a harlot
it was full of judgment
righteousness lodged in it but now murderers
V22 your silver is become dross
your wine mixed with water
V23 your princes are rebellious
your companions are thieves
V30 for you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades
as a garden that has no water
Is ch 2
V1 it shall come to pass in the last days
that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on top of the mountains
and shall be exalted above the hills and all nations shall flow into it
V3 for out of Zion shall go forth the law
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem
V12 for the day of the Lord shall be upon everyone that is proud and lofty
and upon everyone that is lifted up and he shall be brought low
V17 and the loftiness of men shall be bowed down
the haughtiness of men shall be made low
and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day
V22 cease from men whose breath is in his nostrils
for what is he to be accounted for
Is ch 3
V8 for Jerusalem is ruined and Judah is fallen
because their tongues and their doings are against the Lord
to provoke the eyes of his glory
V9 the show of their countenance does witness against them
they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not
woe unto their souls, for they have rewarded evil unto themselves
V10 say to the righteous, it shall be well with him
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings
V11 woe unto the wicked, for it shall be ill with him
for the reward of his hands shall be given him
V12 as for my people, children are their oppressors and women rule over them
O my people, they which lead you cause you to err
and destroy the way of your paths
V14 the Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people
and the princes, for you have eaten up the vineyard, the spoil of the poor is in your houses
V16 the daughters of Zion are haughty
V17 therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head
and the Lord will discover their secret parts
V24 instead of sweet smell, stinking
instead of girdle, a rent
instead of well-set hair, baldness
instead of a stomacher, a girding of sackcloth
burning instead of beauty
V25 your men shall fall by the sword
your mighty men in war
V26 her gates shall lament and mourn
she being desolate shall sit upon the ground
Is ch 4
V1 in that day seven women shall take hold of one man
saying, we will eat our own bread
wear our own apparel
only let us be called by your name
to take away our reproach
V2 in that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious
and the fruit of the earth be excellent and comely
for those that are escaped of Israel
The book of Isaiah bible study verse by verse
V3 he that is left in Zion shall be called holy
even everyone that is written among the living
V4 when the Lord shall have washed the filth of the daughter of Zion
and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst
by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning
V5 the Lord will create upon every place in Mount Zion a cloud and a smoke by day
and the shining of a flaming fire by night
for upon all the glory shall be a defense
V6 there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat
for a place of refuge
and for a covert from storm and rain
Is ch 5
V1 now will I sing a song to my well-beloved touching my vineyard
my well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill
V2 he fenced it and gathered out the stones
planted it with the choicest vine
and built a tower in the midst of it and also made a winepress
and he looked that it should bring forth grapes
and it brought forth wild grapes
V3 judge I pray you between me and my vineyard
V4 what more could have been done to my vineyard
that I have not done in it
when I looked that it should bring forth grapes
it brought forth wild grapes
V5 what I will do to my vineyard, I will take away the hedge
and it shall be eaten up
and break down the wall and it shall be trodden down
V6 and I will lay it waste
and it shall not be pruned or digged
but there shall come up briers and thorns
and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it
V7 for the vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel
and the men of Judah his pleasant plant
he looked for judgment, and behold oppression
for righteousness, behold a cry
V8 woe to them that join house to house
that lay field to field
till there be no place
that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth
V10 ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath
the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah
V11 woe unto them that rise up early that they may follow strong drink
V13 my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge
their honourable men are famished
their multitude dried up with thirst
V15 and the mean men shall be brought down
the mighty men shall be humbled
V13 woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity
and sin as it were a cart rope
V20 woe unto them that call evil good and good evil
that put darkness for light and bitter for sweet
V21 woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes
and prudent in their own sight
V23 which justify the wicked for reward
and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him
The book of Isaiah bible study verse by verse
V24 as fire devours the stubble
and the flame consumes the chaff
so their root shall be as rottenness
and their blossom shall go up as dust
because they have cast away the law of the Lord
and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel
V25 therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people
and he has stretched forth his hand against them
and has smitten them
and the hills did tremble
their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets
for all this his anger is not turned away
and his hand is stretched out still
Is ch 6
V1 in the year King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne
high and lifted up
and his train filled the temple
V2 above it stood seraphims
which each had six wings
twain covered face and feet
V4 the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried
the house was filled with smoke
V5 then said I, woe is me for I am undone
because I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people with unclean lips
for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts
V6 then flew one of the seraphims unto me having a live coal in his hand
which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar
V7 and he laid it upon my mouth
and said, this has touched your lips and your iniquity is taken away
and your sin purged
V9 go and tell this people, hear you indeed but understand not
and see indeed but perceive not
V10 make the heart of this people fat and their heart heavy
and shut their eyes lest they see with their eyes
V11 then I said, Lord how long? till the cities be wasted without inhabitants and the houses without men
and the land be utterly desolate
Is ch 7
V8 for the head of Damascus is Rezin
within 65 years shall Ephraim be broken that it be not a people
V9 the head of Ephraim is Samaria
the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son
if you do not believe, surely you will not be established
V15 butter and honey shall he eat
that he may know to refuse the evil and choose the good
V18 it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt
and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria
V19 it shall come to pass that they shall rest, all of them, in the desolate valleys
and in the holes of the rocks
and upon all thorns and all bushes
V20 in that same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired
namely by them beyond the river
by the king of Assyria
V21 it shall come to pass in that day that a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep
Is ch 8
V1 take a great roll and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz
V2 I took unto me witnesses, Uriah the priest and Zechariah
V3 I went unto the prophetess and she conceived
then said the Lord unto me, call his name Mahershalalhashbaz
V4 before the child shall have knowledge to cry my father and my mother
the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria
V6 as the people refuse the waters of Shiloah that go softly
and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son
V7 therefore the Lord will bring upon them the rivers of the waters strong and many
even the king of Assyria and all his glory
V13 sanctify the Lord and let him be your fear and let him be your dread
V14 and he shall be for a sanctuary
but for a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel
Is ch 9
V2 the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death
upon them has the light shined
V6 for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given
and the government shall be upon his shoulder
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace
The book of Isaiah bible study verse by verse
V7 of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end
V10 the bricks are fallen down but we will build with hewn stones
the sycomores are cut down but we will change them into cedars
V11 the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him
and join his enemies together
V14 therefore the Lord shall cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day
V15 the ancient and honourable, he is the head
the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail
V16 for the leaders of this people cause them to err
they that are led of them are destroyed
V17 the Lord shall have no joy in their young men
neither shall have mercy on the fatherless and widows
for everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer
every mouth speaks folly
V19 through the wrath of the Lord the land is darkened
and the people shall be as fuel for the fire
no man shall spare his brother
V20 they shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry
they shall eat on the left hand and they shall not be satisfied
they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm
Is ch 10
V1 woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees
and that write grievousness which they have prescribed
V5 O Assyrian, the rod of my anger
and the staff in their hand is my indignation
V6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation
and against the people of my wrath
I will give him a charge to take the spoil and to take the prey
and to tread them down like the mire in the street
V12 I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria
and the glory of his high looks
V13 for he says, by the strength of my hand have I done it
and by my wisdom, for I am prudent
and I have removed the bounds of the people
and I have robbed their treasures
and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man
V15 shall the axe boast itself against him that hews with it?
shall the saw magnify itself against him that shakes it?
or should the rod shake itself against him that lifts it up, as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood?
V24 O my people, be not afraid of the Assyrian
he shall smite you with a rod
and shall lift up his staff against you after the manner of Egypt
V25 for yet a little while and the indignation shall cease
and my anger in their destruction
V26 the Lord shall stir up a scourge for him
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb
Is ch 11
V1 there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse
and a branch shall grow out of his roots
V2 the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him
the spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and fear of the Lord
V3 he shall make him of quick understanding
and shall not judge after the sight of the eyes
neither reprove after the hearing of his ears
V4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor
and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth
he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth
and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked
V5 and righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins
and faithfulness the girdle of his reins
V6 the wolf shall dwell with the lamb
the leopard shall lie down with the kid
and the calf and the lion and the fatling together
V9 they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea

V1 the burden of Babylon which Isaiah did see
V2 lift up a banner upon the high mountain
exalt the voice unto them
shake the hand
that they may go into the gates of the nobles
V5 they come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord
and the weapons of his indignation to destroy the whole land
V6 howl, for the day of the Lord is at hand
it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty
V7 therefore all hands be faint
every man’s heart shall melt

pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them
they shall be in pain as a woman that travails

their faces shall be as flames

cruel both with wrath and fierce anger
to lay the land desolate
he shall destroy the sinners out of it

the sun be darkened
the moon not cause her light to shine

and the wicked for their iniquity

and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible
V13 I will shake the heavens and earth shall remove out of her place
in the wrath of the Lord
in the day of his fierce anger
V14 it shall be as a chased roe and as a sheep that no man takes up
every man will turn to his own people
and flee everyone to his own land
V15 everyone that is found shall be thrust through
everyone that is joined with them shall fall by the sword
V16 their children shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes
their houses shall be spoiled
and their wives ravished
V17 I will stir up the Medes against them
which shall not regard silver
as for gold they shall not delight in it
V18 Babylon shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah

their houses shall be full of doleful creatures
owls shall dwell there and satyrs
Is ch 14
V1 the Lord shall have mercy on Jacob

and from the fear and hard bondage

how has the oppressor ceased and the golden city ceased
V5 the Lord has broken the staff of the wicked and the scepter of the rulers
V7 the whole earth is at rest and is quiet
they break forth in singing
V27 the Lord has purposed and who shall disannul it
his hand is stretched out, who shall turn it back
V29 rejoice not, Palestinian, because the rod of him that smote you is broken
for out of the serpent root shall come a cockatrice
and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent
V33 the Lord has founded Zion
and the poor of his people shall trust in it

the hay withers away
the grass fails, there is no green thing

his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel
V8 he shall not look to the altars
neither shall respect that which his fingers have made
either the groves or images

you shall plant pleasant plants and set it with strange slips
V11 in the morning you shall make your seed to flourish
but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and desperate sorrow

and before the morning he is not
this is the portion of them that spoil us and the lot of them that rob us

V1 the burden of Tyre, howl ye ships of Tarshish
for it is laid waste
V2 be still, ye inhabitants of the isles
to whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished
V3 by the great waters the seed of Sihor
what is Sihor? the name given to the Nile, probably the river of Egypt
the harvest of the river is her revenue
she is a mart of nations
mart: traffic, gain, profit
V4 be you ashamed, O Zidon
for the sea has spoken
saying, I will travail not
nor bring forth children
neither do I nourish young men nor bring up virgins
V5 as the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre
V6 pass you over to Tarshish
howl, ye inhabitants of the isle
V9 who has taken counsel against Tyre
the crowning city
whose merchants are princes
whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth
V9 the Lord has purposed to stain the pride of all glory
and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth
V10 pass through the land as a river
O daughter of Tarshish
V11 the Lord has given commandment against the merchant city
to destroy the strongholds
V12 you shall no more rejoice
O you oppressed virgin daughter of Zidon
arise, pass over to Chittim
there also shall you have no rest
V13 behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not
till the Assyrians founded it for them
V14 howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for your strength is laid waste

Is ch 24
V1 the Lord makes the earth empty, he makes it waste
and turns it upside down and scatters abroad the inhabitants thereof
V3 the land shall be utterly emptied
and utterly spoiled
V4 the earth mourns and fades away
the haughty people of the earth do languish
V5 the earth is defiled because they have transgressed the laws
changed the ordinance
broken the everlasting covenant
V6 therefore the curse has devoured the earth
they that dwell therein are desolate
the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men left
V13 there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree
as the gleaning grape when the vintage is done
V19 the earth is utterly broken down
the earth is clean dissolved
the earth is moved exceedingly
V20 the earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard
and shall be removed like a cottage
and the transgression shall be heavy upon it
and it shall fall and not rise again

and the kings of the earth

and after many days shall they be visited

the sun ashamed
when the Lord shall reign upon Mount Zion
Is ch 25
V1 I will praise your name for you have done wonderful things
your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth
V2 you have made of a city a heap
of a defended city a ruin
a palace to be no city
V4 you have been a strength to the poor
a strength to the needy in his distress
a refuge from the storm
a shadow from the heat
V5 you shall bring down the noise of strangers
as the heat in a dry place
the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low
V6 in this mountain the Lord shall make a feast unto all people
V8 he will swallow up death in victory
the Lord shall wipe all tears from all faces
and the rebuke of his people shall be taken away
V9 it shall be said in that day, lo this is our God we have waited for him and he will save us
we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation
V10 for on this mountain the hand of the Lord shall rest
and Moab shall be trodden down for the dunghill
V11 he shall bring down their pride together with the spoil of their hands
V12 the fortress of the high fort of your walls shall be brought down, laid low
and brought to the ground, even to the dust
Is ch 26

V5 for he brings down them that dwell on high
the lofty city he lays it low
V11 let favour be shown to the wicked yet will he not learn righteousness

V20 come, my people, enter into your chambers
and shut your doors about you
hide yourself as it were for a little moment
until the indignation be overpast

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity
Is ch 27
V1 in that day the Lord with his great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan that piercing serpent
Leviathan that crooked serpent

V2 I the Lord do keep it
I will water it every moment lest any hurt it
I will keep it night and day
Is ch 28
V1 woe to the crown of pride
to the drunkards of Ephraim
shall be trodden under feet
V5 in that day shall the Lord be for a crown of glory and for a diadem of beauty unto the residue of his people
V6 and for a spirit of judgment to him that sits in judgment
and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate
V7 but they also have erred through wine and strong drink
the priest and prophet have erred through strong drink
they are swallowed up of wine
they err in vision
they stumble in judgment
V8 all tables are full of vomit
there is no place clean
V9 to whom shall he teach knowledge
them that are weaned from milk
and drawn from the breasts
V11 with stammering lips shall he speak to this people
V13 the word of the Lord was unto them a little here, a little there
V14 hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men who rule this people
V15 because you have said, we have made an agreement with death and with hell
when the overflowing scourge shall pass
it shall not come unto us
for we have made lies our refuge
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves
V16 I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone
a tried stone, a precious cornerstone
a sure foundation
he that believes shall not make haste
V21 the Lord shall rise up as in Mount Perazim
he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon
that he may do his work, his strange work
and bring to pass his act, his strange act
I have heard from the Lord a consumption even determined upon the whole earth
V29 the Lord which is wonderful in counsel and excellent in working
Is ch 29
V1 woe to Ariel, the city where David dwelt
V2 I will distress Ariel
there shall be heaviness and sorrow
V9 they are drunk but not with wine
they stagger but not with strong drink
V10 for the Lord has poured out the spirit of deep sleep
and has closed your eyes
V11 the vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed
V13 this people draw near me with their mouth
and with their lips do honour me
but have removed their hearts far from me
their fear of me is taught by the precept of men
V14 the wisdom of their wise men shall perish
V15 woe to them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord
their works are in the dark
they say, who sees us? who knows us?
V16 surely your turning things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay
shall the work say, he made me not?
V17 yet a little while and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field
the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest
V18 in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book
the blind shall see out of obscurity and darkness
V19 the meek shall increase their joy in the Lord
the poor shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel
V20 the terrible ones are brought to naught
the scorner is consumed
all they that watch for iniquity are cut off
V21 that make a man an offender for a word
lay a snare for him that reproves at the gate
and turn aside the just for a thing of naught
Is ch 30
V1 woe to the rebellious children that take counsel but not of me
that take covering but not with my Spirit
that they may add sin to sin
V2 that walk to go down to Egypt
and have not asked at my mouth
to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh
and trust in the shadow of Egypt
V3 therefore the strength of Pharaoh be your shame
the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion
V4 his princes were at Zoan
his ambassadors came to Hanes
V7 for the Egyptians shall help in vain
and to no purpose
their strength is to sit still
V8 now go, write it before them in a table and note it in a book
that it may be for the time to come
V9 that this is a rebellious people
rebellious children that will not hear the law of the Lord
V10 which say to the seers, speak unto us smooth things
prophesy deceit
V11 get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path
cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from us
V12 this says the Holy One, because you despise this word
and trust in oppression and perverseness
V13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall
swelling out in a high wall
whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant
V14 he shall break it as the breaking of a potter’s vessel that is broken in pieces
so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a shard to take fire
V15 this says the Lord in returning and rest shall you be saved
in quietness and confidence shall be your strength, but you would not
V16 but you said, no, we will flee upon horses
we will ride upon the swift
therefore shall they that pursue you be swift
V17 one thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one
till you be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain
and as an ensign on an hill
V18 therefore will the Lord wait
till he may be gracious unto you
therefore will he be exalted
that he may have mercy upon you
for the Lord is a God of judgment
blessed are all they that wait for him
V19 for the people that dwell in Zion
you shall weep no more
he will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry
when he shall hear it he will answer you
V20 and though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the waters of affliction
yet shall not your teachers be removed
meaning your Teacher God will not be removed
V21 you shall hear a word behind you, this is the way, walk you in it
V22 you shall cast the graven images as a menstruous cloth
you shall say to it, get thee hence
V23 then shall he give the rain of your seed
and you shall sow the ground
and bread of the increase of the earth
and it shall be fat and plenteous
in that day your cattle shall feed in large pastures
V24 the ox and the young asses shall eat clean provender
which has been winnowed with the shovel and the fan
V25 there shall be upon every high mountain and upon every hill rivers and streams of water
in the day of the great slaughter
when the towers fall
V26 the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun
the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days
in the day that the Lord binds up the breach of the people
and heals the stroke of their wound
V27 behold the name of the Lord comes from far
burning with his anger
and the burden is heavy
his lips are full of indignation
his tongue as a devouring fire
V28 and his breath as an overflowing stream
shall reach to the midst of the neck
to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity
there shall be a bridle to the jaws of the people
causing them to err
V29 you shall have a song as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept
and gladness of heart as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord
V30 the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard
shall show the lightning down of his arm
with the indignation of his anger
and with the flame of a devouring fire
with scattering and tempest and hailstones
V31 through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down which smote with the rod
V32 in every place where the grounded staff shall pass it shall be with tabrets and harps
and in battles of shaking will he fight with it
V32 for Tophet is ordained of old
for the king it is prepared
he has made it deep and large
the pile is fire and much wood
the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it
Is ch 31
V1 woe to them that go down to Egypt for help
and stay on horses and trust in chariots because they are many
and in horsemen because they are very strong
but look not unto the Holy One of Israel
neither seek the Lord
V2 yet he also is wise
will bring evil
and will not call back his words
but will arise against the house of evildoers
and against the help of them that work iniquity
V3 the Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirit
when the Lord shall stretch out his hand
both he that helps and he that is helped shall fall down
and they shall fail together
V4 like as the lion roaring on his prey
when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him
he will not be afraid of their voices
nor abase himself for the noise of them
so shall the Lord come down to fight for Mount Zion and for the hill
V5 as birds flying so the Lord defend Jerusalem
he will also deliver it and passing over he will preserve it
V6 turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted
V7 in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver
which your own hands have made unto you for a sin
V8 then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword
not of a mighty man, not of a mean man
shall devour him
he shall flee from the sword
his young men shall be disconfited
V9 he shall pass over to his strongholds for fear
his princes shall be afraid of the ensigns
ensigns, flag, standard
saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion and his furnace in Jerusalem
Is ch 32
V1 a king shall reign in righteousness
princes shall rule in judgment
V2 a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind
a covert from the tempest
as rivers of water in a dry place
as a shadow of a great rock in a weary land
V3 the eyes of them that see shall not be dim
ears of them that hear shall hearken
V4 the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge
tongue of stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly
V5 the vile person shall no more be called liberal
nor the churl said to be bountiful
V6 the vile person shall speak villainy
his heart will work iniquity
to practice hypocrisy
to utter errors against the Lord
to make empty the soul of the hungry
he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail
V7 the instruments of the churl are evil
he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words
even when the needy speaks right
V8 the liberal deviseth liberal things
liberal things shall stand
V9 rise up, you women that are at ease
hear my voice, you careless daughters
V10 many days shall you be troubled, you careless women
the vintage shall fail
the gathering shall not come
V11 tremble, you women that are at ease
be troubled, you careless ones
strip you, make you bare
and gird sackcloth upon your loins
V12 they shall lament for the teats
for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine
V13 upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers
upon the joyous city
V14 the palaces shall be forsaken
the multitude of the city shall be left
the forts and towers shall be for dens forever
a joy of wild asses, a pasture for flocks
V15 until the spirit be poured upon us from on high
the wilderness be as a fruitful field
the fruitful field be counted as a forest
V16 judgment shall dwell in the wilderness
righteousness remain in the fruitful field
V17 the work of righteousness shall be peace
the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever
V18 my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation
in sure dwellings and in quiet resting places
V19 when it shall hail
coming down on the forest
and the city shall be low in a low place
V20 blessed are they that sow beside all waters
that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass
Is ch 33
V1 woe unto you that spoil
and were not spoiled and deal treacherously
and they dealt not treacherously with you
when you shall cease to spoil, you will be spoiled
when you make an end of being treacherous, they shall deal treacherously with you
V2 O Lord be gracious unto us
we have waited for you
be you their arm every morning
our salvation in time of trouble
V3 at the noise of tumult the people fled
at the lifting up of yourself the nations were scattered
V4 your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar
as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them
V5 the Lord is exalted
for he dwells on high
he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness
V6 wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times
strength and salvation, the fear of the Lord is his treasure
V7 the valiant ones shall cry without
the ambassador of peace shall weep bitterly
V8 the highways lie waste
the wayfaring man ceases
V9 the earth mourns and languishes
Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down
Sharon is like a wilderness
Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits
V10 now will I rise, says the Lord
now will I be exalted
now will I lift up myself
V11 you shall conceive chaff
you shall bring forth stubble
your breath as fire shall devour you
V12 the people shall be as the burnings of lime
as thorns cut up
shall they be burned with the fire
V13 hear, you that are far off
acknowledge my might
V14 the sinners in Zion are afraid
fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites
who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire
who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings
V15 he that walks righteously
speaks uprightly
despises the gain of oppressions
shakes his hands from holding of bribes
stops his ears from hearing of blood
shuts his eyes from seeing evil
V16 he shall dwell on high
his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks
bread shall be given him
his waters shall be sure
V17 your eyes shall see the King in his beauty
they shall behold the land that is very far off
V18 your heart shall meditate terror
where is the scribe
where is the receiver
where is he that counted the towers
V19 you shall not see a fierce people
a people of deeper speech that you cannot perceive
of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand
V20 look upon Zion
your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation
a tabernacle that shall not be taken down
not one of the stakes shall be removed
neither shall any of her cords be broken
V21 there the Lord shall be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams
wherein shall go no galley with oars
neither shall gallant ship pass thereby
oar, pole, or steer
V22 the Lord is our judge
the Lord is our lawgiver, our king
he will save us
V23 the tacklings are loosed
they could not well strengthen their mast
they could not spread their sail
then is the prey of a great spoil divided
the lame take their prey
V24 the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick
the people that dwell there shall be forgiven their iniquity
Is ch 34
V2 the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations
his fury upon their armies
he has utterly destroyed them
he has delivered them to the slaughter
V3 their slain shall be cast out
their stink shall come out of their carcasses
the mountains shall be melted with their blood
V4 all the host of heaven shall be dissolved
the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll
all their host shall fall down
as the leaf falls off the vine
as a falling fig from the fig tree
V5 for my sword shall be bathed in heaven
it shall come upon Idumea
upon the people of my curse to judgment
V6 the sword of the Lord is filled with blood
it is made fat with fatness
with the blood of lambs and goats
with the fat of kidneys of rams
the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah
a great slaughter in the land of Idumea
V7 the unicorns shall come down with them
the bullocks with the bulls
their land shall be soaked with blood
their dust made fat with fatness
V8 it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance
the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion
V9 the streams shall be turned into pitch
the dust into brimstone
the land shall become burning pitch
V10 it shall not be quenched night or day
the smoke shall go up forever
from generation to generation it shall lie waste
none shall pass through it forever
V11 the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it
the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it
he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion
the stones of emptiness
V12 they shall call the nobles
but none shall be there
her princes shall be nothing
V13 thorns shall come up in her palaces
nettles and brambles in the fortress
it shall be an habitation of dragons
a court for owls
V14 wild beasts of the desert shall meet with wild beasts of the island
the satyr shall cry to his fellow
the screech owl shall rest there
find herself a place of rest
V15 there the great owl shall make her nest
and lay and hatch and gather under her shadow
there vultures shall be gathered, every one with her mate
V16 seek you out of the book of the Lord and read
no one of these shall fail
none shall want her mate
for my mouth has commanded and his spirit has gathered them
Is ch 35
V1 the wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them
the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the rose
V2 it shall blossom abundantly
and rejoice even with joy and singing
the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it
the excellency of Carmel and Sharon
they shall see the glory of the Lord
and the excellency of our God
V3 strengthen the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees
V4 say to them that are of a fearful heart, be strong, fear not
your God will come with vengeance
even God with a recompense
he will come and save you
V5 the eyes of the blind shall be opened
the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped
V6 then the lame shall leap like the hart
the tongue of the dumb sing
in the wilderness waters break out and streams in the desert
V7 the parched ground shall become a pool
the thirsty land springs of water
in the habitation of dragons where each lay shall be grass with reeds and rushes
V8 a highway shall be there and a way
and it shall be called the way of holiness
the unclean shall not pass over it
it shall be for those the wayfaring men
though fools shall not err therein
V9 no lion shall be there nor any ravenous beast
the redeemed shall walk there
V10 the ransomed of the Lord shall return
and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads
they shall obtain joy and gladness
sorrow and sighing shall flee away
Is ch 36
V1 it came to pass in the 14th year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against the fenced cities of Judah and took them
V2 king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto King Hezekiah with a great army
he stood in the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field
V3 then came unto him Eliakim Hilkiah’s son, the scribe Shebna, Joah Asaph’s son the recorder
V4 Rabshakeh said, what confidence is this wherein you trust?
V5 on whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?
V6 you trust in the staff of this broken reed on Egypt
whereon if a man lean it will go into his hand and pierce it
so is Pharaoh to all that trust in him
V7 but you say, we trust in the Lord
is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away?
V8 now give pledges to my master king of Assyria
and I will give you 2000 horses
if you be able to set riders upon them
V9 how then will you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants
and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
V10 am I now come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it?
the Lord said unto me, go up against this land and destroy it
V11 then said Eliakim to Rabshakeh, speak in the Syrian language for we understand it
speak not in the Hebrew language in the ears of the people that are in the wall
V12 Rabshakeh said, has my master not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall
that they may eat their own dung and drink their own piss with you?
V13 Rabshakeh cried, hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria
V14 let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you
V15 neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, the Lord shall surely deliver us
this city shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of Assyria
V16 hearken not to Hezekiah
for this says the king of Assyria, make an agreement with me by a present
and come out to me and eat every one of his own vine and fig tree
and drink every one of his own cistern
V17 until I come to take you away to a land like your own land
a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards
V18 beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the Lord shall deliver us
has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
V19 where are the gods of Hamath, Arphad, and Sepharvaim?
have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
V21 but they held their peace and answered him not a word
for the king’s commandment was, answer him not
V22 then came Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah to Hezekiah with their clothes rent
and told him the words of Rabshakeh
Is ch 37
V1 when Hezekiah heard it he rent his clothes
and covered himself with sackcloth
and went into the house of the Lord
V2 he sent Eliakim to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz
V3 they say unto him, this day of trouble and of rebuke and of blasphemy
for the children are come to the birth
and there is not enough strength to bring forth
V4 wherefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left
V6 Isaiah said, be not afraid of the words
V7 I will send a blast upon him
and he shall hear a rumour
and return to his own land
I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land
V20 now therefore, O Lord, save us from his hand
that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the Lord, even you only
V22 this is the word with the Lord spoke concerning king Assyria
the virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn
the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you
V23 whom did you reproach and blaspheme
against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high
even against the Holy One of Israel
V24 by your servants you have reproached the Lord
you said, by the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the heights of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon
I will cut down the tall cedars and the choice fir trees
I will enter into the heights of his border and the forest of his Carmel
V25 I have digged and drunk water
with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places
V26 you should be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps
V27 their inhabitants were of small power
they were dismayed and confounded
they were as the grass of the field, as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, as corn blasted before it be grown up
V28 I know your abode and your going out and your coming in and your rage against me
V29 because your rage against me is come up into my ears
therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips
and I will turn you back by the way by which you came
V30 this shall be a sign unto you: you shall eat this year such as grows of itself
the second year that which springs of the same
in the third year sow you and reap and plant vineyards and eat the fruit
V31 the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward
V32 out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant
they that escape out of Mount Zion
the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this
V33 this says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria
he shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it
V34 by the way he came, by the same he shall return and shall not come into this city
V35 for I will defend this city to save it for my own sake and for my servant David’s sake
V36 the angel of the Lord went forth and smote in the camp of the Assyrians 180,000
when they arose early, behold, they were all dead corpses
V37 so Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and returned and dwelt at Nineveh
V38 as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword
they escaped to the land of Armenia and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead
Is ch 38
V1 in those days Hezekiah was sick unto death
Isaiah came unto him and said, thus says the Lord, set your house in order, for you shall die and not live
V2 then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto the Lord
V3 and said, remember O Lord how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart
I have done that which is good in your sight
V5 go and say to Hezekiah, I have heard your prayer
I have seen your tears
I will add unto your days 15 years
V6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria
and I will defend this city
V7 it shall be a sign unto you from the Lord
V8 I will bring again the shadow of the degrees which is gone down in the dial of Ahaz 10 degrees backward
so the sun returned 10 degrees by which degrees it was gone down
V21 Isaiah said, let them take a lump of figs
and lay it for a plaster upon the boil and he shall recover
V22 Hezekiah said, what is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?
