 ,one of ,israel4          ,they are    
estranged and backward4  #jja3jje ,why

,the daughter of ,zion is left like a   
shelter in a vineyard1          like a  
hut in a field of melons1 like a        
besieged city4  #jja3jji ,unless ,yahweh
 of ,armies had left to us a very small 
remnant1          we would have been as 
,sodom2 we would have been like         
,gomorrah4  #jja3jaj ,hear the word of  
,yahweh1 you rulers of ,sodom6  ,listen 
to the law          of our ,god1 you

me81 says ,yahweh4          ,i have had 
enough of the burnt offerings of rams1  

and the fat          of fed animals4  ,i
 don't delight in the blood of bulls1   
or of lambs1 or of male goats4  #jja3jab
 ,when you come to appear before me1 who
 has required this          at your     
hand1 to trample my courts8  #jja3jac   
,bring no more vain offerings4  ,incense
 is an abomination to me2          new  
moons1 ,sabbaths1 and convocations3  ,i 
can't bear          with evil           
assemblies4  #jja3jad ,my soul hates    
your ,new ,moons and your appointed     
feasts4          ,they are a burden to  
me4  ,i am weary of bearing them4       
#jja3jae ,when you spread forth your    
hands1 ,i will hide my eyes from you4   
,yes1 when you make many prayers1 ,i    
will not hear4          ,your hands are 
full of blood4  #jja3jaf ,wash

,judge the fatherless4  ,plead for the  

widow4  #jja3jah ,come now1 and let us  
reason together1 says ,yahweh3  ,though 
your          sins be as scarlet1 they  
shall be as white as snow4              
,though they be red like crimson1 they  
shall be as wool4  #jja3jai ,if you are 
willing and obedient1 you shall eat the 
good          of the land2  #jja3jbj but
 if you refuse and rebel1 you shall be  
devoured with the sword2          for   
the mouth of ,yahweh has spoken it4     
#jja3jba ,how the faithful city has     
become a prostitute6  ,she was full     
of justice2 righteousness lodged in her1
 but now murderers4  #jja3jbb ,your     
silver has become dross1 your wine mixed
 with water4  #jja3jbc ,your princes are
 rebellious1 and companions of thieves4 
,everyone loves bribes1 and follows     
after rewards4          ,they don't     
judge the fatherless1 neither does the  
cause          of the widow come to     
them4  #jja3jbd ,therefore the ,lord1   
,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,mighty ,one    
of ,israel1 says3  ,ah1 ,i will get     

relief from my adversaries1          and
 avenge myself of my enemies2  #jja3jbe 
and ,i will turn my hand on you1        
thoroughly purge away your dross1       
and will take away all your tin4        
#jja3jbf ,i will restore your judges as 
at the first1 and your counselors       
as at the beginning4  ,afterward you    
shall be called ',the city          of  
righteousness1 a faithful town4'        
#jja3jbg ,zion shall be redeemed with   
justice1 and her converts          with 
righteousness4  #jja3jbh ,but the       
destruction of transgressors and sinners
 shall be together1          and those  
who forsake ,yahweh shall be consumed4  
#jja3jbi ,for they shall be ashamed of  
the oaks which you have desired1        
and you shall be confounded for the     
gardens that you have chosen4  #jja3jcj 
,for you shall be as an oak whose leaf  
fades1 and as a garden          that has
 no water4  #jja3jca ,the strong will be
 like tinder1 and his work like a spark4
          ,they will both burn together1

 and no one will quench them4  #jjb3jja 
,this is what ,isaiah the son of ,amoz  
saw concerning          ,judah and      
,jerusalem4  #jjb3jjb ,it shall happen  
in the latter days1 that the mountain of
 ,yahweh's          house shall be      
established on the top of the mountains1
          and shall be raised above the 
hills2 and all nations shall            
flow to it4  #jjb3jjc ,many peoples     
shall go and say1 ,come1 let's go up to 
the mountain of ,yahweh1 to the house of
 the ,god of ,jacob2          and he    
will teach us of his ways1 and we will  
walk in his paths4          ,for out of 
,zion the law shall go forth1 and the   
word of          ,yahweh from           
,jerusalem4  #jjb3jjd ,he will judge    
between the nations1 and will decide    
concerning many peoples2 and they shall 
beat their swords          into         
plowshares1 and their spears into       
pruning hooks4          ,nation shall   
not lift up sword against nation1       
neither shall          they learn war   

any more4  #jjb3jje ,house of ,jacob1   
come1 and let us walk in the light of   
,yahweh4  #jjb3jjf ,for you have        
forsaken your people1 the house of      
,jacob1          because they are filled
 from the east1 with those who practice 
divination like the ,philistines1 and   
they clasp hands with          the      
children of foreigners4  #jjb3jjg ,their
 land is full of silver and gold1       
neither is there any          end of    
their treasures4  ,their land also is   
full of horses1          neither is     
there any end of their chariots4        
#jjb3jjh ,their land also is full of    
idols4  ,they worship the work          
of their own hands1 that which their own
 fingers have made4  #jjb3jji ,man is   
brought low1 and mankind is humbled2    
therefore don't          forgive them4  
#jjb3jaj ,enter into the rock1 and hide 
in the dust1 from before the terror     
of ,yahweh1 and from the glory of his   
majesty4  #jjb3jaa ,the lofty looks of  
man will be brought low1 the haughtiness

          of men will be bowed down1 and
 ,yahweh alone will be exalted          
in that day4  #jjb3jab ,for there will  
be a day of ,yahweh of ,armies for all  
that          is proud and haughty1 and 
for all that is lifted up2          and 
it shall be brought low3  #jjb3jac ,for 
all the cedars of ,lebanon1 that are    
high and lifted up1          for all the
 oaks of ,bashan1  #jjb3jad ,for all the
 high mountains1 for all the hills that 
are lifted up1  #jjb3jae ,for every     
lofty tower1 for every fortified wall1  
#jjb3jaf ,for all the ships of          
,tarshish1 and for all pleasant imagery4
  #jjb3jag ,the loftiness of man shall  
be bowed down1 and the haughtiness      
of men shall be brought low2 and ,yahweh
 alone shall be exalted          in that
 day4  #jjb3jah ,the idols shall utterly
 pass away4  #jjb3jai ,men shall go into
 the caves of the rocks1 and into the   
holes          of the earth1 from before
 the terror of ,yahweh1 and from the    
glory          of his majesty1 when he  

arises to shake the earth mightily4     
#jjb3jbj ,in that day1 men shall cast   
away their idols of silver1          and
 their idols of gold1 which have been   
made for themselves          to worship1
 to the moles and to the bats2  #jjb3jba
 ,to go into the caverns of the rocks1  
and into the clefts          of the     
ragged rocks1 from before the terror of 
,yahweh1          and from the glory of 
his majesty1 when he arises to shake    
the earth mightily4  #jjb3jbb ,stop     
trusting in man1 whose breath is in his 
nostrils2          for of what account  
is he8  #jjc3jja ,for1 behold1 the      
,lord1 ,yahweh of ,armies1 takes away   
from ,jerusalem          and from ,judah

 bread1          and the whole supply of
 water2  #jjc3jjb the mighty man1 the   
man of war1 the judge1 the prophet1     
the diviner1 the elder1  #jjc3jjc the   
captain of fifty1 the honorable man1 the
 counselor1          the skilled        
craftsman1 and the clever enchanter4    

#jjc3jjd ,i will give boys to be their  
princes1 and children shall             
rule over them4  #jjc3jje ,the people   
will be oppressed1 everyone by another1 
and everyone          by his neighbor4  
,the child will behave himself proudly  
against the old man1 and the base       
against the honorable4  #jjc3jjf ,indeed
 a man shall take hold of his brother in
 the house          of his father1      
saying1 ,you have clothing1 you be our  
ruler1          and let this ruin be    
under your hand4  #jjc3jjg ,in that day 
he will cry out1 saying1 ,i will not be 
a healer2          for in my house is   
neither bread nor clothing4             
,you shall not make me ruler of the     
people4  #jjc3jjh ,for ,jerusalem is    
ruined1 and ,judah is fallen2 because   
their          tongue and their doings  
are against ,yahweh1 to provoke the eyes
          of his glory4  #jjc3jji ,the  
look of their faces testify against     
them4  ,they parade          their sin  
like ,sodom4  ,they don't hide it4  ,woe

 to their soul6          ,for they have 
brought disaster upon themselves4

of their deeds4  #jjc3jaa ,woe to the   
wicked6  ,disaster is upon them2 for the
 deeds          of his hands will be    
paid back to him4  #jjc3jab ,as for my  
people1 children are their oppressors1  
and women rule          over them4  ,my 
people1 those who lead you cause you to 
err1          and destroy the way of    
your paths4  #jjc3jac ,yahweh stands up 
to contend1 and stands to judge the     
peoples4  #jjc3jad ,yahweh will enter   
into judgment with the elders of his    
people1          and their leaders3  ,it
 is you who have eaten up the vineyard4 
,the spoil of the poor is in your       
houses4  #jjc3jae ,what do you mean that
 you crush my people1 and grind the face
          of the poor8 says the ,lord1  
,yahweh of ,armies4  #jjc3jaf ,moreover 
,yahweh said1 ,because the daughters of 
,zion are haughty1          and walk    

with outstretched necks and flirting    
eyes1          walking to trip as they  
go1 jingling ornaments on their feet2   
#jjc3jag therefore the ,lord brings     
sores on the crown of the head          
of the women of ,zion1 and ,yahweh will 
make their scalps bald4  #jjc3jah ,in   
that day the ,lord will take away the   
beauty of their anklets1          the   
headbands1 the crescent necklaces1

garments1 the tiaras1          and the  
shawls4  #jjc3jbd ,it shall happen that 
instead of sweet spices1 there shall    
be rottenness2 instead of a belt1 a     
rope2 instead of well          set hair1
 baldness2 instead of a robe1 a girding 
of sackcloth2          and branding     

instead of beauty4  #jjc3jbe ,your men  
shall fall by the sword1 and your mighty
 in the war4  #jjc3jbf ,her gates shall 
lament and mourn2 and she shall be      
desolate          and sit on the ground4
  #jjd3jja ,seven women shall take hold 
of one man in that day1 saying1         
,we will eat our own bread1 and wear our
 own clothing3          only let us be  
called by your name4  ,take away our    
reproach4  #jjd3jjb ,in that day1       
,yahweh's branch will be beautiful and  
glorious1          and the fruit of the 
land will be the beauty and glory       
of the survivors of ,israel4  #jjd3jjc  
,it will happen1 that he who is left in 
,zion1 and he who remains          in   
,jerusalem1 shall be called holy1 even  
everyone who is          written among  
the living in ,jerusalem2  #jjd3jjd when
 the ,lord shall have washed away the   
filth of the daughters          of      
,zion1 and shall have purged the blood  
of ,jerusalem from its midst1           
by the spirit of justice1 and by the    

spirit of burning4  #jjd3jje ,yahweh    
will create over the whole habitation of
 ,mount ,zion1          and over her    
assemblies1 a cloud and smoke by day1   
and the shining of a flaming fire by    
night2 for over all          the glory  
will be a canopy4  #jjd3jjf ,there will 
be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime
 from the heat1          and for a      
refuge and for a shelter from storm and 
from rain4  #jje3jja ,let me sing for my
 well beloved a song of my beloved about
          his vineyard4  ,my beloved had
 a vineyard on a very fruitful hill4    
#jje3jjb ,he dug it up1 gathered out its
 stones1 planted it with          the   
choicest vine1 built a tower in its     
midst1 and also cut          out a      
winepress therein4  ,he looked for it to
 yield grapes1          but it yielded  
wild grapes4  #jje3jjc ,now1 inhabitants
 of ,jerusalem and men of ,judah1 please
 judge          between me and my       
vineyard4  #jje3jjd ,what could have    
been done more to my vineyard1 that ,i  

have          not done in it8  ,why1    
when ,i looked for it to yield grapes1  
did it yield wild grapes8  #jje3jje ,now
 ,i will tell you what ,i will do to my 
vineyard4          ,i will take away its
 hedge1 and it will be eaten up4        
,i will break down its wall of it1 and  
it will be trampled down4  #jje3jjf ,i  
will lay it a wasteland4  ,it won't be  
pruned nor hoed1          but it will   
grow briers and thorns4  ,i will also   
command          the clouds that they   
rain no rain on it4  #jje3jjg ,for the  
vineyard of ,yahweh of ,armies is the   
house of ,israel1          and the men  
of ,judah his pleasant plant3  and he   
looked          for justice1 but1       
behold1 oppression2 for righteousness1  
but1 behold1 a cry of distress4         
#jje3jjh ,woe to those who join house to
 house1 who lay field to field1         
until there is no room1 and you are made
 to dwell alone          in the midst of
 the land6  #jje3jji ,in my ears1       
,yahweh of ,armies says3  ,surely many  

houses will          be desolate1 even  
great and beautiful1 unoccupied4        
#jje3jaj ,for ten acresliterally1 ten   
yokes1 or the amount of land            
that ten yokes of oxen can plow in one  
day1 which is about #aj          acres

one bath1#a          bath is about #bb  
litres1 #e4h ,u4 ,s4 gallons1 or #d4h   
imperial          gallons and a homer#a 
homer is about #bbj litres or #f bushels

#j4f          bushels or about #b       
pecks7--only one tenth of what was sown4
  #jje3jaa ,woe to those who rise up    
early in the morning1 that they         
may follow strong drink2 who stay late  
into the night1          until wine     
inflames them6  #jje3jab ,the harp1     
lyre1 tambourine1 and flute1 with wine1 
are at          their feasts2 but they  
don't regard the work of ,yahweh1       
neither have they considered the        
operation of his hands4  #jje3jac       

,therefore my people go into captivity  
for lack of knowledge4          ,their  
honorable men are famished1 and their   
multitudes are          parched with    
thirst4  #jje3jad ,therefore            
,sheol,sheol is the place of the dead4  
has enlarged          its desire1 and   
opened its mouth without measure2 and   
their glory1          their multitude1  
their pomp1 and he who rejoices among   
them1          descend into it4         
#jje3jae ,so man is brought low1 mankind
 is humbled1 and the eyes          of   
the arrogant ones are humbled2  #jje3jaf
 but ,yahweh of ,armies is exalted in   
justice1 and ,god the ,holy ,one        
is sanctified in righteousness4         
#jje3jag ,then the lambs will graze as  
in their pasture1 and strangers         
will eat the ruins of the rich4         
#jje3jah ,woe to those who draw iniquity
 with cords of falsehood1          and  
wickedness as with cart rope2  #jje3jai 
,who say1 ,let him make speed1 let him  
hasten his work1          that we may   

see it2 and let the counsel of the ,holy
 ,one          of ,israel draw near and 
come1 that we may know it6  #jje3jbj    
,woe to those who call evil good1 and   
good evil2 who put darkness          for
 light1 and light for darkness2 who put 
bitter for sweet1          and sweet for
 bitter6  #jje3jba ,woe to those who are
 wise in their own eyes1 and prudent    
in their own sight6  #jje3jbb ,woe to   
those who are mighty to drink wine1 and 
champions          at mixing strong     
drink2  #jje3jbc who acquit the guilty  
for a bribe1 but deny justice           
for the innocent6  #jje3jbd ,therefore  
as the tongue of fire devours the       
stubble1          and as the dry grass  
sinks down in the flame1 so their root  
shall be as rottenness1 and their       
blossom shall go up as dust2            
because they have rejected the law of   
,yahweh of ,armies1          and        
despised the word of the ,holy ,one of  
,israel4  #jje3jbe ,therefore ,yahweh's 
anger burns against his people1 and he  

has          stretched out his hand     
against them1 and has struck them4      
,the mountains tremble1 and their dead  
bodies are as refuse          in the    
midst of the streets4  ,for all this1   
his anger is not          turned away1  
but his hand is still stretched out4    
#jje3jbf ,he will lift up a banner to   
the nations from far1          and he   
will whistle for them from the end of   
the earth4          ,behold1 they will  
come speedily and swiftly4  #jje3jbg    
,none shall be weary nor stumble among  
them2 none shall slumber          nor   
sleep2 neither shall the belt of their  
waist be untied1          nor the       
latchet of their shoes be broken3       
#jje3jbh whose arrows are sharp1 and all
 their bows bent4  ,their horses'       
hoofs will be like flint1 and their     
wheels like a whirlwind4  #jje3jbi      
,their roaring will be like a lioness4  
,they will roar like          young     
lions4  ,yes1 they shall roar1 and seize
 their prey          and carry it off1  

and there will be no one to deliver4    
#jje3jcj ,they will roar against them in
 that day like the roaring of the sea4  
,if one looks to the land behold1       
darkness and distress4          ,the    
light is darkened in its clouds4        
#jjf3jja ,in the year that king ,uzziah 
died1 ,i saw the ,lord sitting on       
a throne1 high and lifted up2 and his   
train filled the temple4  #jjf3jjb      
,above him stood the seraphim4  ,each   
one had six wings4          ,with two he
 covered his face4  ,with two he covered
 his feet4          ,with two he flew4  
#jjf3jjc ,one called to another1 and    
said1 ,holy1 holy1 holy1 is ,yahweh     
of ,armies6  ,the whole earth is full of
 his glory6  #jjf3jjd ,the foundations  
of the thresholds shook at the voice of 
him          who called1 and the house  
was filled with smoke4  #jjf3jje ,then  
,i said1 ,woe is me6  ,for ,i am undone1
 because ,i am a man of          unclean
 lips1 and ,i dwell in the midst of a   
people of unclean lips3          for my 

eyes have seen the ,king1 ,yahweh of    
,armies6  #jjf3jjf ,then one of the     
seraphim flew to me1 having a live coal 
in his hand1          which he had taken
 with the tongs from off the altar4     
#jjf3jjg ,he touched my mouth with it1  
and said1 ,behold1 this has             
touched your lips2 and your iniquity is 
taken away1          and your sin       
forgiven4  #jjf3jjh ,i heard the ,lord's
 voice1 saying1 ,whom shall ,i send1    
and who will go for us8  ,then ,i said1 
,here ,i am4  ,send me6  #jjf3jji ,he   
said1 ,go1 and tell this people1 ',you  
hear indeed1          but don't         
understand2 and you see indeed1 but     
don't perceive4'  #jjf3jaj ,make the    
heart of this people fat4  ,make their  
ears heavy1          and shut their     
eyes2 lest they see with their eyes1    
and hear with their ears1 and understand
 with their heart1          and turn    
again1 and be healed4  #jjf3jaa ,then ,i
 said1 ,lord1 how long8  ,he answered1  
,until cities          are waste without

 inhabitant1 and houses without man1    
and the land becomes utterly waste1     
#jjf3jab ,and ,yahweh has removed men   
far away1 and the forsaken places       
are many in the midst of the land4      
#jjf3jac ,if there is a tenth left in   
it1 that also will in turn be consumed3 
as a terebinth1 and as an oak1 whose    
stock remains when they          are    
felled2 so the holy seed is its stock4  
#jjg3jja ,it happened in the days of    
,ahaz the son of ,jotham1 the son       
of ,uzziah1 king of ,judah1 that ,rezin 
the king of ,syria1          and ,pekah 
the son of ,remaliah1 king of ,israel1  
went up to          ,jerusalem to war   
against it1 but could not prevail       
against it4  #jjg3jjb ,it was told the  
house of ,david1 saying1 ,syria is      
allied          with ,ephraim4  ,his    
heart trembled1 and the heart of his    
people1          as the trees of the    
forest tremble with the wind4  #jjg3jjc 
,then ,yahweh said to ,isaiah1 ,go out  
now to meet ,ahaz1          you1 and    

,shearjashub your son1 at the end of the
 conduit          of the upper pool1 on 
the highway of the fuller's field4      
#jjg3jjd ,tell him1 ',be careful1 and   
keep calm4  ,don't be afraid1           
neither let your heart be faint because 
of these two tails          of smoking  
firebrands1 for the fierce anger of     
,rezin and ,syria1          and of the  
son of ,remaliah4  #jjg3jje ,because    
,syria1 ,ephraim1 and the son of        
,remaliah1 have plotted          evil   
against you1 saying1  #jjg3jjf ,let's go
 up against ,judah1 and tear it apart1  
and let's divide          it among      
ourselves1 and set up a king in the     
midst of it1          even the son of   
,tabeel4  #jjg3jjg ,this is what the    
,lord ,yahweh says3  ,it shall not      
stand1          neither shall it happen4
  #jjg3jjh ,for the head of ,syria is   
,damascus1 and the head of ,damascus is 
,rezin2          and within sixty-five  
years ,ephraim shall be broken in       
pieces1          so that it shall not be

 a people2  #jjg3jji and the head of    
,ephraim is ,samaria1 and the head of   
,samaria          is ,remaliah's son4   
,if you will not believe1 surely you    
shall          not be established4'     
#jjg3jaj ,yahweh spoke again to ,ahaz1  
saying1  #jjg3jaa ,ask a sign of ,yahweh
 your ,god2 ask it either in the depth1 
or in the height above4  #jjg3jab ,but  
,ahaz said1 ,i will not ask1 neither    
will ,i tempt ,yahweh4  #jjg3jac ,he    
said1 ,listen now1 house of ,david3  ,is
 it not enough for you          to try  
the patience of men1 that you will try  
the patience          of my ,god also8  
#jjg3jad ,therefore the ,lord himself   
will give you a sign4          ,behold1 
the virgin will conceive1 and bear a    
son1 and shall          call his name   
,immanuel4,immanuel means ,god with us4 
#jjg3jae ,he shall eat butter and honey 
when he knows to refuse the evil1       
and choose the good4  #jjg3jaf ,for     
before the child knows to refuse the    
evil1 and choose the good1          the 

land whose two kings you abhor shall be 
forsaken4  #jjg3jag ,yahweh will bring  
on you1 on your people1 and on your     
father's house1          days that have 
not come1 from the day that ,ephraim    
departed          from ,judah2 even the 
king of ,assyria4  #jjg3jah ,it will    
happen in that day that ,yahweh will    
whistle for the fly          that is in 
the uttermost part of the rivers of     
,egypt1          and for the bee that is
 in the land of ,assyria4  #jjg3jai     
,they shall come1 and shall all rest in 
the desolate valleys1          in the   
clefts of the rocks1 on all thorn       
hedges1          and on all pastures4   
#jjg3jbj ,in that day the ,lord will    
shave with a razor that is hired        
in the parts beyond the ,river1 even    
with the king of ,assyria1          the 
head and the hair of the feet2 and it   
shall also          consume the beard4  
#jjg3jba ,it shall happen in that day   
that a man shall keep alive a young cow1
          and two sheep2  #jjg3jbb and  

it shall happen1 that because of the    
abundance of milk          which they   
shall give he shall eat butter3  for    
everyone will          eat butter and   
honey that is left in the midst of the  
land4  #jjg3jbc ,it will happen in that 
day that every place where there        
were a thousand vines at a thousand     
silver shekels1 shall be          for   
briers and thorns4  #jjg3jbd ,people    
will go there with arrows and with bow1 
because all          the land will be   
briers and thorns4  #jjg3jbe ,all the   
hills that were cultivated with the hoe1
 you shall          not come there for  
fear of briers and thorns2 but it shall 
be          for the sending forth of    
oxen1 and for the treading of sheep4    
#jjh3jja ,yahweh said to me1 ,take a    
large tablet1 and write on it with a    
man's pen1 ',for ,maher ,shalal ,hash   
,baz2,maher ,shalal ,hash ,baz          
means quick to the plunder1 swift to the
 spoil4'  #jjh3jjb and ,i will take for 
myself faithful witnesses to testify3   

,uriah the priest1 and ,zechariah the   
son of ,jeberechiah4  #jjh3jjc ,i went  
to the prophetess1 and she conceived1   
and bore a son4          ,then said     
,yahweh to me1 ,call his name ',maher   
,shalal ,hash ,baz4'  #jjh3jjd ,for     
before the child knows how to say1 ',my 
father1' and1 ',my mother1'          the
 riches of ,damascus and the spoil of   
,samaria will be carried          away  
by the king of ,assyria4  #jjh3jje      
,yahweh spoke to me yet again1 saying1  
#jjh3jjf ,because this people have      
refused the waters of ,shiloah          
that go softly1 and rejoice in ,rezin   
and ,remaliah's son2  #jjh3jjg now      
therefore1 behold1 the ,lord brings upon
 them the mighty flood          waters  
of the ,river3  the king of ,assyria and
 all his glory4          ,it will come  
up over all its channels1 and go over   
all its banks4  #jjh3jjh ,it will sweep 
onward into ,judah4  ,it will overflow  
and pass through2          it will reach
 even to the neck2 and the stretching   

out of its          wings will fill the 
breadth of your land1 ,immanuel4        
#jjh3jji ,make an uproar1 you peoples1  
and be broken in pieces6  ,listen1 all  
you          from far countries3  dress 
for battle1 and be shattered6           
,dress for battle1 and be shattered6    
#jjh3jaj ,take counsel together1 and it 
will be brought to nothing2             
speak the word1 and it will not stand3  
for ,god is with us4  #jjh3jaa ,for     
,yahweh spoke thus to me with a strong  
hand1 and instructed          me not to 
walk in the way of this people1 saying1 
#jjh3jab ,don't say1 ',a conspiracy6'   
concerning all about which this         
people say1 ',a conspiracy6' neither    
fear their threats1          nor be     
terrorized4  #jjh3jac ,yahweh of ,armies
 is who you must regard as holy4        
,he is the one you must fear4  ,he is   
the one you must dread4  #jjh3jad ,he   
will be a sanctuary1 but for both houses
 of ,israel1          he will be a trap 
and a snare for the inhabitants of      

,jerusalem4  #jjh3jae ,many will stumble
 over it1 fall1 be broken1 be snared1   
and be captured4  #jjh3jaf ,wrap up the 
testimony4  ,seal the law among my      
disciples4  #jjh3jag ,i will wait for   
,yahweh1 who hides his face from the    
house of ,jacob1          and ,i will   
look for him4  #jjh3jah ,behold1 ,i and 
the children whom ,yahweh has given me  
are          for signs and for wonders  
in ,israel from ,yahweh of ,armies1     
who dwells in ,mount ,zion4  #jjh3jai   
,when they tell you1 ,consult with those
 who have familiar          spirits and 
with the wizards1 who chirp and who     
mutter3          shouldn't a people     
consult with their ,god8  ,should they  
consult the dead on behalf of the       
living8  #jjh3jbj ,turn to the law and  
to the testimony6  ,if they don't speak 
according to this word1 surely there is 
no morning for them4  #jjh3jba ,they    
will pass through it1 sore distressed   
and hungry2          and it will happen 
that when they are hungry1 they will    

worry1          and curse by their king 
and by their ,god4  ,they will turn     
their faces upward1  #jjh3jbb and look  
to the earth1 and see distress1         
darkness1 and the gloom          of     
anguish4  ,they will be driven into     
thick darkness4  #jji3jja ,but there    
shall be no more gloom for her who was  
in anguish4          ,in the former     
time1 he brought into contempt the land 
of ,zebulun and the land of ,naphtali2  
but in the latter          time he has  
made it glorious1 by the way of the sea1
          beyond the ,jordan1 ,galilee  
of the nations4  #jji3jjb ,the people   
who walked in darkness have seen a great
 light4          ,those who lived in the
 land of the shadow of death1 on them   
the light has shined4  #jji3jjc ,you    
have multiplied the nation4  ,you have  
increased their joy4          ,they     
rejoice before you according to the joy 
in harvest1          as men rejoice when
 they divide the spoil4  #jji3jjd ,for  
the yoke of his burden1 and the staff of

 his shoulder1          the rod of his  
oppressor1 you have broken as in the day
 of ,midian4  #jji3jje ,for all the     
armor of the armed man in the noisy     
battle1          and the garments rolled
 in blood1 will be for burning1         
fuel for the fire4  #jji3jjf ,for to us 
a child is born4  ,to us a son is given2
          and the government will be on 
his shoulders4  ,his name will be       
called ,wonderful1 ,counselor1 ,mighty  
,god1 ,everlasting ,father1             
,prince of ,peace4  #jji3jjg ,of the    
increase of his government and of peace 
there shall          be no end1 on the  
throne of ,david1 and on his kingdom1   
to establish it1 and to uphold it with  
justice and          with righteousness 
from that time on1 even forever4        
,the zeal of ,yahweh of ,armies will    
perform this4  #jji3jjh ,the ,lord sent 
a word into ,jacob1 and it falls on     
,israel4  #jji3jji ,all the people will 
know1 including ,ephraim and the        
inhabitants          of ,samaria1 who   

say in pride and in arrogance of heart1 
#jji3jaj ,the bricks have fallen1 but we
 will build with hewn stone4            
,the sycamore fig trees have been cut   
down1 but we will put          cedars in
 their place4  #jji3jaa ,therefore      
,yahweh will set up on high against him 
the adversaries          of ,rezin1 and 
will stir up his enemies1  #jji3jab ,the
 ,syrians in front1 and the ,philistines
 behind2 and they          will devour  
,israel with open mouth4  ,for all this1
 his anger          is not turned away1 
but his hand is stretched out still4    
#jji3jac ,yet the people have not turned
 to him who struck them1                
neither have they sought ,yahweh of     
,armies4  #jji3jad ,therefore ,yahweh   
will cut off from ,israel head and tail1
          palm branch and reed1 in one  
day4  #jji3jae ,the elder and the       
honorable man is the head1 and the      
prophet          who teaches lies is the
 tail4  #jji3jaf ,for those who lead    
this people lead them astray2 and those 

who are led by them are destroyed4      
#jji3jag ,therefore the ,lord will not  
rejoice over their young men1           
neither will he have compassion on their
 fatherless and widows2          for    
everyone is profane and an evil-doer1   
and every mouth          speaks folly4  
,for all this his anger is not turned   
away1          but his hand is stretched
 out still4  #jji3jah ,for wickedness   
burns like a fire4  ,it devours the     
briers          and thorns2 yes1 it     
kindles in the thickets of the forest1  
and they roll upward in a column of     
smoke4  #jji3jai ,through the wrath of  
,yahweh of ,armies1 the land is         
burnt up2 and the people are the fuel   
for the fire4          ,no one spares   
his brother4  #jji3jbj ,one will devour 
on the right hand1 and be hungry2 and he
 will          eat on the left hand1 and
 they will not be satisfied4            
,everyone will eat the flesh of his own 
arm3  #jji3jba ,manasseh1 ,ephraim2 and 
,ephraim1 ,manasseh2 and they together  

shall          be against ,judah4  ,for 
all this his anger is not turned away1  
but his hand is stretched out still4    
#jaj3jja ,woe to those who decree       
unrighteous decrees1 and to the writers 
who write oppressive decrees2  #jaj3jjb 
to deprive the needy from justice1 and  
to rob the poor among          my people
 of their rights1 that widows may be    
their spoil1          and that they may 
make the fatherless their prey6         
#jaj3jjc ,what will you do in the day of
 visitation1 and in the desolation      
which will come from afar8  ,to whom    
will you flee for help8          ,where 
will you leave your wealth8  #jaj3jjd   
,they will only bow down under the      
prisoners1 and will fall          under 
the slain4  ,for all this his anger is  
not turned away1          but his hand  
is stretched out still4  #jaj3jje ,alas 
,assyrian1 the rod of my anger1 the     
staff in whose hand          is my      
indignation6  #jaj3jjf ,i will send him 
against a profane nation1 and against   

the people          who anger me will ,i
 give him a charge to take the spoil    
and to take the prey1 and to tread them 
down like the mire          of the      
streets4  #jaj3jjg ,however he doesn't  
mean so1 neither does his heart think   
so2          but it is in his heart to  
destroy1 and to cut off not          a  
few nations4  #jaj3jjh ,for he says1    
,aren't all of my princes kings8        
#jaj3jji ,isn't ,calno like ,carchemish8
  ,isn't ,hamath like ,arpad8           
,isn't ,samaria like ,damascus8         
#jaj3jaj ,as my hand has found the      
kingdoms of the idols1 whose engraved   
images exceeded those of ,jerusalem and 
of ,samaria2  #jaj3jaa shall ,i not1 as 
,i have done to ,samaria and her idols1 
so do to ,jerusalem and her idols8      
#jaj3jab ,therefore it will happen that1
 when the ,lord has performed           
his whole work on ,mount ,zion and on   
,jerusalem1 ,i will punish          the 
fruit of the willful proud heart of the 
king of ,assyria1          and the      

insolence of his haughty looks4         
#jaj3jac ,for he has said1 ,by the      
strength of my hand ,i have done it1    
and by my wisdom2 for ,i have           
understanding3  and ,i have removed     
the boundaries of the peoples1 and have 
robbed their treasures4          ,like a
 valiant man ,i have brought down their 
rulers4  #jaj3jad ,my hand has found the
 riches of the peoples like a nest1     
and like one gathers eggs that are      
abandoned1 have ,i gathered          all
 the earth4  ,there was no one who moved
 their wing1          or that opened    
their mouth1 or chirped4  #jaj3jae      
,should an axe brag against him who     
chops with it8          ,should a saw   
exalt itself above him who saws with it8
          ,as if a rod should lift those
 who lift it up1 or as if a staff       
should lift up someone who is not wood4 
#jaj3jaf ,therefore the ,lord1 ,yahweh  
of ,armies1 will send among his fat     
ones leanness2 and under his glory a    
burning will be kindled          like   

the burning of fire4  #jaj3jag ,the     
light of ,israel will be for a fire1 and
 his ,holy ,one          for a flame2   
and it will burn and devour his thorns  
and his          briers in one day4     
#jaj3jah ,he will consume the glory of  
his forest1 and of his fruitful field1  
both soul and body4  ,it will be as when
 a standard bearer faints4  #jaj3jai    
,the remnant of the trees of his forest 
shall be few1          so that a child  
could write their number4  #jaj3jbj ,it 
will come to pass in that day that the  
remnant of ,israel1          and those  
who have escaped from the house of      
,jacob will no more          again lean 
on him who struck them1 but shall lean  
on ,yahweh1          the ,holy ,one of  
,israel1 in truth4  #jaj3jba ,a remnant 
will return1 even the remnant of ,jacob1
          to the mighty ,god4  #jaj3jbb 
,for though your people1 ,israel1 are   
like the sand of the sea1          only 
a remnant of them will return4  ,a      
destruction is determined1              

overflowing with righteousness4         
#jaj3jbc ,for the ,lord1 ,yahweh of     
,armies1 will make a full end1          
and that determined1 in the midst of all
 the earth4  #jaj3jbd ,therefore the    
,lord1 ,yahweh of ,armies1 says ,my     
people who dwell          in ,zion1     
don't be afraid of the ,assyrian1 though
 he strike          you with the rod1   
and lift up his staff against you1      
as ,egypt did4  #jaj3jbe ,for yet a very
 little while1 and the indignation      
against          you will be            
accomplished1 and my anger will be      
directed          to his destruction4   
#jaj3jbf ,yahweh of ,armies will stir up
 a scourge against him1          as in  
the slaughter of ,midian at the rock of 
,oreb4          ,his rod will be over   
the sea1 and he will lift it up like    
he did against ,egypt4  #jaj3jbg ,it    
will happen in that day1 that his burden
 will depart          from off your     
shoulder1 and his yoke from off your    
neck1          and the yoke shall be    

destroyed because of the anointing oil4 
#jaj3jbh ,he has come to ,aiath4  ,he   
has passed through ,migron4          ,at
 ,michmash he stores his baggage4       
#jaj3jbi ,they have gone over the pass4 
,they have taken up their lodging       
at ,geba4  ,ramah trembles4  ,gibeah of 
,saul has fled4  #jaj3jcj ,cry aloud    
with your voice1 daughter of ,gallim6

,anathoth6  #jaj3jca ,madmenah is a     
fugitive4  ,the inhabitants of ,gebim   
flee for safety4  #jaj3jcb ,this very   
day he will halt at ,nob4  ,he shakes   
his hand at          the mountain of the
 daughter of ,zion1 the hill of         
,jerusalem4  #jaj3jcc ,behold1 the      
,lord1 ,yahweh of ,armies1 will lop the 
boughs with terror4          ,the tall  
will be cut down1 and the lofty will be 
brought low4  #jaj3jcd ,he will cut down
 the thickets of the forest with iron1  
and ,lebanon will fall by the ,mighty   
,one4  #jaa3jja ,a shoot will come out  
of the stock of ,jesse1 and a branch    

out of his roots will bear fruit4       
#jaa3jjb ,the ,spirit of ,yahweh will   
rest on him3  the spirit of wisdom      
and understanding1 the spirit of counsel
 and might1 the spirit          of      
knowledge and of the fear of ,yahweh4   
#jaa3jjc ,his delight will be in the    
fear of ,yahweh4  ,he will not judge    
by the sight of his eyes1 neither decide
 by the hearing          of his ears2   
#jaa3jjd but with righteousness he will 
judge the poor1 and decide          with
 equity for the humble of the earth4    
,he will strike          the earth with 
the rod of his mouth2 and with the      
breath          of his lips he will kill
 the wicked4  #jaa3jje ,righteousness   
will be the belt of his waist1 and      
faithfulness          the belt of his   
waist4  #jaa3jjf ,the wolf will live    
with the lamb1 and the leopard will lie 
down          with the young goat2 ,the 
calf1 the young lion1 and the fattened  
calf together2 and a little child will  
lead them4  #jaa3jjg ,the cow and the   

bear will graze4  ,their young ones will
 lie          down together4  ,the lion 
will eat straw like the ox4  #jaa3jjh   
,the nursing child will play near a     
cobra's hole1 and the weaned            
child will put his hand on the viper's  
den4  #jaa3jji ,they will not hurt nor  
destroy in all my holy mountain2        
for the earth will be full of the       
knowledge of ,yahweh1          as the   
waters cover the sea4  #jaa3jaj ,it will
 happen in that day that the nations    
will seek          the root of ,jesse1  
who stands as a banner of the peoples2  
and his resting place will be glorious4 
#jaa3jaa ,it will happen in that day    
that the ,lord will set his hand        
again the second time to recover the    
remnant that is left          of his    
people from ,assyria1 from ,egypt1 from 
,pathros1 from ,cush1          from     
,elam1 from ,shinar1 from ,hamath1 and  
from the islands          of the sea4   
#jaa3jab ,he will set up a banner for   
the nations1 and will assemble          

the outcasts of ,israel1 and gather     
together the dispersed          of      
,judah from the four corners of the     
earth4  #jaa3jac ,the envy also of      
,ephraim will depart1 and those who     
persecute          ,judah will be cut   
off4  ,ephraim won't envy ,judah1 and   
,judah          won't persecute         
,ephraim4  #jaa3jad ,they will fly down 
on the shoulders of the ,philistines on 
the west4          ,together they will  
plunder the children of the east4       
,they will extend their power over ,edom
 and ,moab1 and the children          of
 ,ammon will obey them4  #jaa3jae       
,yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue 
of the ,egyptian sea2          and with 
his scorching wind he will wave his hand
 over the ,river1          and will     
split it into seven streams1 and cause  
men to march          over in sandals4  
#jaa3jaf ,there will be a highway for   
the remnant that is left of his         
people from ,assyria1 like there was for
 ,israel in the day          that he    

came up out of the land of ,egypt4      
#jab3jja ,in that day you will say1 ,i  
will give thanks to you1 ,yahweh2

anger has turned away          and you  
comfort me4  #jab3jjb ,behold1 ,god is

and he has become my salvation4         
#jab3jjc ,therefore with joy you will   
draw water out of the wells of          
salvation4  #jab3jjd ,in that day you   
will say1 ,give thanks to ,yahweh6      
,call on his name4          ,declare his
 doings among the peoples4  ,proclaim   
that his          name is exalted6

inhabitant of ,zion2 for the ,holy ,one 
of ,israel is great in the midst of you6
  #jac3jja ,the burden of ,babylon1     
which ,isaiah the son of ,amoz saw3     

#jac3jjb ,set up a banner on the bare   
mountain6  ,lift up your voice to them6

the gates of the nobles4  #jac3jjc ,i   
have commanded my consecrated ones2 yes1
 ,i have called          my mighty men  
for my anger1 even my proudly exulting  
ones4  #jac3jjd ,the noise of a         
multitude is in the mountains1 as of a  
great people2          the noise of an  
uproar of the kingdoms of the nations   
gathered together6  ,yahweh of ,armies  
is mustering the army          for the  
battle4  #jac3jje ,they come from a far 
country1 from the uttermost part of     
heaven1          even ,yahweh1 and the  
weapons of his indignation1 to destroy  
the whole land4  #jac3jjf ,wail2 for the
 day of ,yahweh is at hand6  ,it will   
come as          destruction from the   
,almighty4  #jac3jjg ,therefore all     
hands will be feeble1 and everyone's    
heart will melt4  #jac3jjh ,they will be
 dismayed4  ,pangs and sorrows will     
seize them4          ,they will be in   

pain like a woman in labor4  ,they will 
look          in amazement one at       
another4  ,their faces will be faces of 
flame4  #jac3jji ,behold1 the day of    
,yahweh comes1 cruel1 with wrath and    
fierce anger2          to make the land 
a desolation1 and to destroy its sinners
          out of it4  #jac3jaj ,for the 
stars of the sky and its constellations 
will not give          their light4     
,the sun will be darkened in its going  
forth1          and the moon will not   
cause its light to shine4  #jac3jaa ,i  
will punish the world for their evil1   
and the wicked          for their       
iniquity4  ,i will cause the arrogance  
of the proud          to cease1 and will
 humble the haughtiness of the terrible4
  #jac3jab ,i will make people more rare
 than fine gold1 even a person          
than the pure gold of ,ophir4  #jac3jac 
,therefore ,i will make the heavens     
tremble1 and the earth will          be 
shaken out of its place in the wrath of 
,yahweh of ,armies1          and in the 

day of his fierce anger4  #jac3jad ,it  
will happen that like a a hunted        
gazelle1 and like sheep          that no
 one gathers1 they will each turn to    
their own people1          and will each
 flee to their own land4  #jac3jae      
,everyone who is found will be thrust   
through4  ,everyone who is              
captured will fall by the sword4        
#jac3jaf ,their infants also will be    
dashed in pieces before their eyes4     
,their houses will be ransacked1 and    
their wives raped4  #jac3jag ,behold1 ,i
 will stir up the ,medes against them1  
who will not          value silver1 and 
as for gold1 they will not delight in   
it4  #jac3jah ,their bows will dash the 
young men in pieces2          and they  
shall have no pity on the fruit of the  
womb4          ,their eyes will not     
spare children4  #jac3jai ,babylon1 the 
glory of kingdoms1 the beauty of the    
,chaldeans'          pride1 will be like
 when ,god overthrew ,sodom and         
,gomorrah4  #jac3jbj ,it will never be  

inhabited1 neither will it be lived in  
from          generation to generation4 
,the ,arabian will not pitch a tent     
there1          neither will shepherds  
make their flocks lie down there4       
#jac3jba ,but wild animals of the desert
 will lie there1 and their              
houses will be full of jackals4         
,ostriches will dwell there1            
and wild goats will frolic there4       
#jac3jbb ,wolves will cry in their      
castles1 and jackals in the             
pleasant palaces4  ,her time is near to 
come1 and her days          will not be 
prolonged4  #jad3jja ,for ,yahweh will  
have compassion on ,jacob1 and will     
yet choose ,israel1 and set them in     
their own land4          ,the foreigner 
will join himself with them1 and they   
will unite          with the house of   
,jacob4  #jad3jjb ,the peoples will take
 them1 and bring them to their place4   
,the house of ,israel will possess them 
in ,yahweh's land for servants          
and for handmaids4  ,they will take as  

captives those whose          captives  
they were2 and they shall rule over     
their oppressors4  #jad3jjc ,it will    
happen in the day that ,yahweh will give
 you rest from          your sorrow1    
from your trouble1 and from the hard    
service          in which you were made 
to serve1  #jad3jjd that you will take  
up this parable against the king        
of ,babylon1 and say1 ,how the oppressor
 has ceased6          ,the golden city  
has ceased6  #jad3jje ,yahweh has broken
 the staff of the wicked1 the scepter   
of the rulers1  #jad3jjf who struck the 
peoples in wrath with a continual       
stroke1 who ruled          the nations  
in anger1 with a persecution that none  
restrained4  #jad3jjg ,the whole earth  
is at rest1 and is quiet4  ,they break  
out song4  #jad3jjh ,yes1 the fir trees 
rejoice with you1 with the cedars       
of ,lebanon1 saying1 ,since you are     
humbled1 no lumberjack          has come
 up against us4  #jad3jji ,sheol from   
beneath has moved for you to meet you at

 your coming4          ,it stirs up the 
dead for you1 even all the rulers of the
 earth4          ,it has raised up from 
their thrones all the kings of the      
nations4  #jad3jaj ,they all will answer
 and ask you1 ,have you also become as  
weak          as we are8  ,have you     
become like us8  #jad3jaa ,your pomp is 
brought down to ,sheol1 with the sound  
of your          stringed instruments4  
,maggots are spread out under you1      
and worms cover you4  #jad3jab ,how you 
have fallen from heaven1 morning star1  
son of the dawn6          ,how you are  
cut down to the ground1 who laid the    
nations low6  #jad3jac ,you said in your
 heart1 ,i will ascend into heaven6     
,i will exalt my throne above the stars 
of ,god6  ,i will sit          on the   
mountain of assembly1 in the far north6 
#jad3jad ,i will ascend above the       
heights of the clouds6  ,i will make    
myself like the ,most ,high6  #jad3jae  
,yet you shall be brought down to       
,sheol1 to the depths of the pit4       

#jad3jaf ,those who see you will stare  
at you4  ,they will ponder you1         
saying1 ,is this the man who made the   
earth to tremble1          who shook    
kingdoms2  #jad3jag who made the world  
like a wilderness1 and overthrew its    
cities2          who didn't release his 
prisoners to their home8  #jad3jah ,all 
the kings of the nations1 sleep in      
glory1 everyone in          his own     
house4  #jad3jai ,but you are cast away 
from your tomb like an abominable       
branch1          clothed with the slain1
 who are thrust through with the sword1 
who go down to the stones of the pit2   
like a dead body          trodden under 
foot4  #jad3jbj ,you will not join them 
in burial1 because you have destroyed   
your land4  ,you have killed your       
people4  ,the seed of evil-doers        
will not be named forever4  #jad3jba    
,prepare for slaughter of his children  
because of the iniquity          of     
their fathers1 that they not rise up and
 possess the earth1          and fill   

the surface of the world with cities4   
#jad3jbb ,i will rise up against them1  
says ,yahweh of ,armies1          and   
cut off from ,babylon name and remnant1 
and son and          son's son1 says    
,yahweh4  #jad3jbc ,i will also make it 
a possession for the porcupine1 and     
pools          of water4  ,i will sweep 
it with the broom of destruction1       
says ,yahweh of ,armies4  #jad3jbd      
,yahweh of ,armies has sworn1 saying1   
,surely1 as ,i have thought1          so
 shall it happen2 and as ,i have        
purposed1 so shall it stand3  #jad3jbe  
that ,i will break the ,assyrian in my  
land1 and tread him          under foot 
on my mountains4  ,then his yoke will   
leave them1          and his burden     
leave their shoulders4  #jad3jbf ,this  
is the plan that is determined for the  
whole earth4          ,this is the hand 
that is stretched out over all the      
nations4  #jad3jbg ,for ,yahweh of      
,armies has planned1 and who can stop   
it8          ,his hand is stretched out1

 and who can turn it back8  #jad3jbh    
,this burden was in the year that king  
,ahaz died4  #jad3jbi ,don't rejoice1 ,o
 ,philistia1 all of you1 because the rod
 that          struck you is broken2 for
 out of the serpent's root an adder     
will emerge1 and his fruit will be a    
fiery flying serpent4  #jad3jcj ,the    
firstborn of the poor will eat1 and the 
needy will lie          down in safety2 
and ,i will kill your root with famine1 
and your remnant will be killed4        
#jad3jca ,howl1 gate6  ,cry1 city6  ,you
 are melted away1 ,philistia1 all of    
you2          for smoke comes out of the
 north1 and there is no straggler       
in his ranks4  #jad3jcb ,what will they 
answer the messengers of the nation8    
,that ,yahweh has founded ,zion1 and in 
her the afflicted of his          people
 will take refuge4  #jae3jja ,the burden
 of ,moab3  for in a night1 ,ar of ,moab
 is laid waste1          and brought to 
nothing2 for in a night ,kir of ,moab is
 laid waste1          and brought to    

nothing4  #jae3jjb ,they have gone up to
 ,bayith1 and to ,dibon1 to the high    
places1          to weep4  ,moab wails  
over ,nebo and over ,medeba4            
,baldness is on all of their heads4     
,every beard is cut off4  #jae3jjc ,in  
their streets1 they dress themselves in 
sackcloth4          ,in their streets   
and on their housetops1 everyone wails1 
weeping abundantly4  #jae3jjd ,heshbon  
cries out with ,elealeh4  ,their voice  
is heard even          to ,jahaz4       
,therefore the armed men of ,moab cry   
aloud4          ,their souls tremble    
within them4  #jae3jje ,my heart cries  
out for ,moab6  ,her nobles flee to     
,zoar1          to ,eglath ,shelishiyah2
 for they go up by the ascent of ,luhith
          with weeping2 for in the way  
of ,horonaim1 they raise up          a  
cry of destruction4  #jae3jjf ,for the  
waters of ,nimrim will be desolate2 for 
the grass has          withered away1   
the tender grass fails1 there is no     
green thing4  #jae3jjg ,therefore they  

will carry away the abundance they have 
gotten1          and that which they    
have stored up1 over the brook of the   
willows4  #jae3jjh ,for the cry has gone
 around the borders of ,moab2 its       
wailing          to ,eglaim1 and its    
wailing to ,beer ,elim4  #jae3jji ,for  
the waters of ,dimon are full of blood2 
for ,i will bring          yet more on  
,dimon1 a lion on those of ,moab who    
escape1          and on the remnant of  
the land4  #jaf3jja ,send the lambs for 
the ruler of the land from ,selah to the
 wilderness1          to the mountain of
 the daughter of ,zion4  #jaf3jjb ,for  
it will be that as wandering birds1 as a
 scattered nest1          so will the   
daughters of ,moab be at the fords of   
the ,arnon4  #jaf3jjc ,give counsel6    
,execute justice6  ,make your shade like
          the night in the midst of the 
noonday6  ,hide the outcasts6           
,don't betray the fugitive6  #jaf3jjd   
,let my outcasts dwell with you6  ,as   
for ,moab1 be a          hiding place   

for him from the face of the destroyer4 
,for the extortioner is brought to      
nothing4  ,destruction ceases4          
,the oppressors are consumed out of the 
land4  #jaf3jje ,a throne will be       
established in loving kindness4  ,one   
will sit          on it in truth1 in the
 tent of ,david1 judging1 seeking       
justice1          and swift to do       
righteousness4  #jaf3jjf ,we have heard 
of the pride of ,moab1 that he is very  
proud2          even of his arrogance1  
his pride1 and his wrath4          ,his 
boastings are nothing4  #jaf3jjg        
,therefore ,moab will wail for ,moab4   
,everyone will wail4          ,you will 
mourn for the raisin cakes of ,kir      
,hareseth1          utterly stricken4   
#jaf3jjh ,for the fields of ,heshbon    
languish with the vine of ,sibmah4      
,the lords of the nations have broken   
down its choice branches1          which
 reached even to ,jazer1 which wandered 
into the wilderness4          ,its      
shoots were spread abroad4  ,they passed

 over the sea4  #jaf3jji ,therefore ,i  
will weep with the weeping of ,jazer for
 the vine          of ,sibmah4  ,i will 
water you with my tears1 ,heshbon1 and  
,elealeh3          for on your summer   
fruits and on your harvest the battle   
shout has fallen4  #jaf3jaj ,gladness is
 taken away1 and joy out of the fruitful
 field2          and in the vineyards   
there will be no singing1 neither       
joyful noise4  ,nobody will tread out   
wine in the presses4          ,i have   
made the shouting stop4  #jaf3jaa       
,therefore my heart sounds like a harp  
for ,moab1 and my inward          parts 
for ,kir ,heres4  #jaf3jab ,it will     
happen that when ,moab presents himself1
 when he wearies          himself on the
 high place1 and comes to his sanctuary 
to pray1          that he will not      
prevail4  #jaf3jac ,this is the word    
that ,yahweh spoke concerning ,moab in  
time past4  #jaf3jad ,but now ,yahweh   
has spoken1 saying1 ,within three years1
          as a worker bound by contract 

would count them1 the glory of ,moab    
shall be brought into contempt1 with all
 his great multitude2          and the  
remnant will be very small and feeble4  
#jag3jja ,the burden of ,damascus3      
,behold1 ,damascus is taken away        
from being a city1 and it will be a     
ruinous heap4  #jag3jjb ,the cities of  
,aroer are forsaken4  ,they will be for 
flocks1          which shall lie down1  
and none shall make them afraid4        
#jag3jjc ,the fortress shall cease from 
,ephraim1 and the kingdom          from 
,damascus1 and the remnant of ,syria4   
,they will be as          the glory of  
the children of ,israel1 says ,yahweh of
 ,armies4  #jag3jjd ,it will happen in  
that day that the glory of ,jacob will  
be          made thin1 and the fatness  
of his flesh will become lean4  #jag3jje
 ,it will be like when the harvester    
gathers the wheat1 and his          arm 
reaps the grain4  ,yes1 it will be like 
when one gleans          grain in the   
valley of ,rephaim4  #jag3jjf ,yet      

gleanings will be left there1 like the  
shaking of an olive tree1          two  
or three olives in the top of the       
uppermost bough1          four or five  
in the outermost branches of a fruitful 
tree1          says ,yahweh1 the ,god of
 ,israel4  #jag3jjg ,in that day1 people
 will look to their ,maker1 and their   
eyes          will have respect for the 
,holy ,one of ,israel4  #jag3jjh ,they  
will not look to the altars1 the work of
 their hands2          neither shall    
they respect that which their fingers   
have made1          either the ,asherim1
 or the incense altars4  #jag3jji ,in   
that day1 their strong cities will be   
like the forsaken places          in the
 woods and on the mountain top1 which   
were forsaken from          before the  
children of ,israel2 and it will be a   
desolation4  #jag3jaj ,for you have     
forgotten the ,god of your salvation1   
and have not          remembered the    
rock of your strength4  ,therefore you  
plant          pleasant plants1 and set 

out foreign seedlings4  #jag3jaa ,in the
 day of your planting1 you hedge it in4 
,in the morning1          you make your 
seed blossom1 but the harvest flees away
          in the day of grief and of    
desperate sorrow4  #jag3jab ,ah1 the    
uproar of many peoples1 who roar like   
the roaring of the seas2          and   
the rushing of nations1 that rush like  
the rushing          of mighty waters6  
#jag3jac ,the nations will rush like the
 rushing of many waters3          but he
 will rebuke them1 and they will flee   
far off1 and will          be chased    
like the chaff of the mountains before  
the wind1          and like the whirling
 dust before the storm4  #jag3jad ,at   
evening1 behold1 terror6  ,before the   
morning1 they are no more4              
,this is the portion of those who

those who rob us4  #jah3jja ,ah1 the    
land of the rustling of wings1 which is

dwelling place1 like clear heat in      
sunshine1 like a cloud          of dew  
in the heat of harvest4  #jah3jje ,for  
before the harvest1 when the blossom is 
over1          and the flower becomes a 
ripening grape1 he will cut off         
the sprigs with pruning hooks1 and he   
will cut down and take          away the
 spreading branches4  #jah3jjf ,they    
will be left together for the ravenous  
birds          of the mountains1 and for

 the animals of the earth4          ,the
 ravenous birds will summer on them1 and
 all the animals          of the earth

,yahweh of ,armies          from a      
people tall and smooth1 even from a     
people awesome          from their

,egypt4  ,the idols of ,egypt will      
tremble at his presence2          and   
the heart of ,egypt will melt in its

the ,egyptians into the hand of a cruel 
lord4          ,a fierce king will rule

go astray1 who are          the         
cornerstone of her tribes4  #jai3jad    
,yahweh has mixed a spirit of           
perverseness in the midst of her2       
and they have caused ,egypt to go astray
 in all of its works1          like a   
drunken man staggers in his vomit4      
#jai3jae ,neither shall there be for

he shakes over them4  #jai3jag ,the land
 of ,judah will become a terror to      
,egypt4  ,everyone to whom

,yahweh in the midst          of the    
land of ,egypt1 and a pillar to ,yahweh 
at its border4  #jai3jbj ,it will be for
 a sign and for a witness to ,yahweh of 
,armies          in the land of ,egypt2

,egypt my people1 ,assyria the work of  

my hands1          and ,israel my

and he fought against ,ashdod and took  
it2  #jbj3jjb at that time ,yahweh spoke
 by ,isaiah the son of ,amoz1           
saying1 ,go1 and loosen the sackcloth   
from off your waist1          and take  
your shoes from off your feet4  ,he did 
so1          walking naked and barefoot4

barefoot three years for a sign and a   
wonder concerning ,egypt          and   
concerning ,ethiopia1  #jbj3jjd so the  
king of ,assyria will lead away the     
captives of ,egypt          and the     
exiles of ,ethiopia1 young and old1     
naked and barefoot1          and with

you didn't look to him who had done     
this1          neither did you have     
respect for him who purposed it long    
ago4  #jbb3jab ,in that day1 the ,lord1

#jbc3jjh ,who has planned this against  
,tyre1 the giver of crowns1             
whose merchants are princes1 whose      
traffickers are the honorable           
of the earth8  #jbc3jji ,yahweh of      
,armies has planned it1 to stain the    
pride of all glory1          to bring   
into contempt all the honorable of the  
earth4  #jbc3jaj ,pass through your land
 like the ,nile1 daughter of ,tarshish4 
,there is no restraint any more4        
#jbc3jaa ,he has stretched out his hand 
over the sea4  ,he has          shaken  
the kingdoms4  ,yahweh has ordered the  
destruction          of ,canaan's

ruin4  #jbc3jad ,howl1 you ships of

the days of one king4          ,after

she shall return to her wages1          
and will play the prostitute with all   
the kingdoms of the world          on   
the surface of the earth4  #jbc3jah ,her
 merchandise and her wages will be      
holiness to ,yahweh4          ,it will  

not be treasured nor laid up2 for her   
merchandise          will be for those  
who dwell before ,yahweh1 to eat        
sufficiently1          and for durable  
clothing4  #jbd3jja ,behold1 ,yahweh    
makes the earth empty1 makes it waste1  
turns it upside down1 and scatters its  
inhabitants4  #jbd3jjb ,it will be as

mistress2 as with the buyer1 so with the
 seller2          as with the creditor1 
so with the debtor2 as with the taker   
of interest1 so with the giver of       
interest4  #jbd3jjc ,the earth will be  
utterly emptied and utterly laid waste2 
for ,yahweh has spoken this word4       
#jbd3jjd ,the earth mourns and fades    
away4  ,the world languishes and        
fades away4  ,the lofty people of the   
earth languish4  #jbd3jje ,the earth    
also is polluted under its inhabitants1 
because they          have transgressed 
the laws1 violated the statutes1 and    

broken          the everlasting         
covenant4  #jbd3jjf ,therefore the curse
 has devoured the earth1 and those who  
dwell therein are found guilty4         
,therefore the inhabitants          of  
the earth are burned1 and few men left4 
#jbd3jjg ,the new wine mourns4  ,the    
vine languishes4          ,all the

confused city is broken down4  ,every

may come in4  #jbd3jaa ,there is a      
crying in the streets because of the    
wine4          ,all joy is darkened4    
,the mirth of the land is gone4         
#jbd3jab ,the city is left in           
desolation1 and the gate is             
struck with destruction4  #jbd3jac ,for 
it will be so in the midst of the earth 

among the peoples1          as the      
shaking of an olive tree1 as the        
gleanings when          the vintage is  
done4  #jbd3jad ,these shall lift up    
their voice4  ,they will shout for the  
majesty          of ,yahweh4  ,they cry 
aloud from the sea4  #jbd3jae ,therefore
 glorify ,yahweh in the east1 even the  
name of ,yahweh1          the ,god of   
,israel1 in the islands of the sea6     
#jbd3jaf ,from the uttermost part of the
 earth have we heard songs4

treacherous have dealt very             
treacherously4  #jbd3jag ,fear1 the pit1
 and the snare1 are on you who          
inhabitant the earth4  #jbd3jah ,it will
 happen that he who flees from the noise
 of the fear          will fall into the
 pit2 and he who comes up out of the    
midst          of the pit will be taken 
in the snare2 for the windows on high   

are opened1 and the foundations of the  
earth tremble4  #jbd3jai ,the earth is  
utterly broken4  ,the earth is torn     
apart4          ,the earth is shaken    
violently4  #jbd3jbj ,the earth will    
stagger like a drunken man1 and will    
sway back          and forth like a     
hammock4  ,its disobedience will be     
heavy on it1          and it will fall  
and not rise again4  #jbd3jba ,it shall 
happen in that day that ,yahweh will    
punish the army          of the high    
ones on high1 and the kings of the earth
          on the earth4  #jbd3jbb ,they 
shall be gathered together1 as prisoners
 are gathered          in the pit1 and  
shall be shut up in the prison2 and     
after          many days shall they be  
visited4  #jbd3jbc ,then the moon shall 
be confounded1 and the sun ashamed2     
for ,yahweh of ,armies will reign on    
,mount ,zion1 and in ,jerusalem2        
and before his elders will be glory4    
#jbe3jja ,yahweh1 you are my ,god4  ,i  
will exalt you6  ,i will praise your    

name1          for you have done        
wonderful things1 things planned long   
ago1          in complete faithfulness  
and truth4  #jbe3jjb ,for you have made 
a city into a heap1 a fortified city    
into a ruin1 a palace of strangers to be
 no city4          ,it will never be    
built4  #jbe3jjc ,therefore a strong    
people will glorify you4  ,a city of    
awesome          nations will fear you4 
#jbe3jjd ,for you have been a stronghold
 to the poor1 a stronghold          to  
the needy in his distress1 a refuge from
 the storm1          a shade from the   
heat1 when the blast of the dreaded ones
          is like a storm against the   
wall4  #jbe3jje ,as the heat in a dry   
place will you bring down the noise     
of strangers2 as the heat by the shade  
of a cloud1 the song          of the    
dreaded ones will be brought low4       
#jbe3jjf ,in this mountain1 ,yahweh of  
,armies will make all peoples a feast   
of fat things1 a feast of choice wines1 
of fat things full          of marrow1  

of well refined choice wines4  #jbe3jjg 
,he will destroy in this mountain the   
surface of the covering          that   
covers all peoples1 and the veil that is
 spread          over all nations4      
#jbe3jjh ,he has swallowed up death     
forever6  ,the ,lord ,yahweh will wipe  
away tears from off all faces4  ,he will
 take the reproach          of his      
people away from off all the earth1 for 
,yahweh          has spoken it4         
#jbe3jji ,it shall be said in that day1 
,behold1 this is our ,god6  ,we have    
waited for him1 and he will save us6    
,this is ,yahweh6  ,we have             
waited for him4  ,we will be glad and   
rejoice in his salvation6  #jbe3jaj ,for
 in this mountain the hand of ,yahweh   
will rest4          ,moab will be       
trodden down in his place1 even like    
straw          is trodden down in the   
water of the dunghill4  #jbe3jaa ,he    
will spread out his hands in its midst1 
like one who swims          spreads out 
hands to swim1 but his pride will be    

humbled          together with the craft
 of his hands4  #jbe3jab ,he has brought
 the high fortress of your walls down1  
laid low1          and brought to the   
ground1 even to the dust4  #jbf3jja ,in 
that day1 this song will be sung in the 
land of ,judah3  ,we have          a    
strong city4  ,god appoints salvation   
for walls and bulwarks4  #jbf3jjb ,open 
the gates1 that the righteous nation may
 enter3          the one which keeps    
faith4  #jbf3jjc ,you will keep         
whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect  
peace1          because he trusts in    
you4  #jbf3jjd ,trust in ,yahweh        
forever2 for in ,yah1 ,yahweh1 is an    
everlasting ,rock4  #jbf3jje ,for he has
 brought down those who dwell on high1  
the lofty city4          ,he lays it    
low4  ,he lays it low even to the       
ground4          ,he brings it even to  
the dust4  #jbf3jjf ,the foot shall     
tread it down2 ,even the feet of the    
poor1          and the steps of the     
needy4  #jbf3jjg ,the way of the just is

 uprightness4  ,you who are upright make
          the path of the righteous     
level4  #jbf3jjh ,yes1 in the way of    
your judgments1 ,yahweh1 have we waited 
for you4          ,your name and your   
renown are the desire of our soul4      
#jbf3jji ,with my soul have ,i desired  
you in the night4          ,yes1 with my
 spirit within me will ,i seek you      
earnestly2          for when your       
judgments are in the earth1 the         
inhabitants          of the world learn 
righteousness4  #jbf3jaj ,let favor be  
shown to the wicked1 yet he will not    
learn righteousness4  ,in the land of   
uprightness he will          deal       
wrongfully1 and will not see ,yahweh's  
majesty4  #jbf3jaa ,yahweh1 your hand is
 lifted up1 yet they don't see2 but they
          will see your zeal for the    
people1 and be disappointed4            
,yes1 fire will consume your            
adversaries4  #jbf3jab ,yahweh1 you will
 ordain peace for us1 for you have also 
worked          all our works for us4   

#jbf3jac ,yahweh our ,god1 other lords  
besides you have had dominion over us1  
but by you only will we make mention of 
your name4  #jbf3jad ,the dead shall not
 live4  ,the deceased shall not rise4   
,therefore have you visited and         
destroyed them1 and caused          all 
memory of them to perish4  #jbf3jae ,you
 have increased the nation1 ,o ,yahweh4 
,you have increased          the nation6
  ,you are glorified6  ,you have        
enlarged all          the borders of the
 land4  #jbf3jaf ,yahweh1 in trouble    
they have visited you4  ,they poured out
          a prayer when your chastening 
was on them4  #jbf3jag ,like as a woman 
with child1 who draws near the time     
of her delivery1 is in pain and cries   
out in her pangs2          so we have   
been before you1 ,yahweh4  #jbf3jah ,we 
have been with child4  ,we have been in 
pain4  ,we gave birth1          it      
seems1 only to wind4  ,we have not      
worked any deliverance          in the  
earth2 neither have the inhabitants of  

the world fallen4  #jbf3jai ,your dead  
shall live4  ,my dead bodies shall      
arise4          ,awake and sing1 you who
 dwell in the dust2 for your dew is     
like the dew of herbs1 and the earth    
will cast forth the dead4  #jbf3jbj     
,come1 my people1 enter into your       
chambers1 and shut your          doors  
behind you4  ,hide yourself for a little
 moment1          until the indignation 
is past4  #jbf3jba ,for1 behold1 ,yahweh
 comes forth out of his place to punish 
the inhabitants of the earth for their  
iniquity4          ,the earth also will 
disclose her blood1 and will no longer  
cover her slain4  #jbg3jja ,in that day1
 ,yahweh with his hard and great and    
strong sword          will punish       
leviathan1 the fleeing serpent1 and     
leviathan          the twisted serpent2 
and he will kill the dragon that is     
in the sea4  #jbg3jjb ,in that day1 sing
 to her1 ,a pleasant vineyard6  #jbg3jjc
 ,i1 ,yahweh1 am its keeper4  ,i will   
water it every moment4          ,lest   

anyone damage it1 ,i will keep it night 
and day4  #jbg3jjd ,wrath is not in me1 
but if ,i should find briers and thorns1
          ,i would do battle6  ,i would 
march on them and ,i would          burn
 them together4  #jbg3jje ,or else let  
him take hold of my strength1 that he   
may make          peace with me4  ,let  
him make peace with me4  #jbg3jjf ,in   
days to come1 ,jacob will take root4    
,israel will blossom and bud4           
,they will fill the surface of the world
 with fruit4  #jbg3jjg ,has he struck   
them as he struck those who struck them8
          ,or are they killed like those
 who killed them were killed8  #jbg3jjh 
,in measure1 when you send them away1   
you contend with them4          ,he has 
removed them with his rough blast in the
 day of          the east wind4         
#jbg3jji ,therefore1 by this the        
iniquity of ,jacob will be forgiven1    
and this is all the fruit of taking away
 his sin3          that he makes all the
 stones of the altar as chalk stones    

that are beaten in pieces1 so that the  
,asherim and the incense          altars
 shall rise no more4  #jbg3jaj ,for the 
fortified city is solitary1 a habitation
 deserted          and forsaken1 like   
the wilderness4  ,the calf will feed    
there1          and there he will lie   
down1 and consume its branches4         
#jbg3jaa ,when its boughs are withered1 
they will be broken off4          ,the  
women will come and set them on fire1   
for they are a people          of no    
understanding4  ,therefore he who made  
them will not          have compassion  
on them1 and he who formed them will    
show          them no favor4  #jbg3jab  
,it will happen in that day1 that       
,yahweh will thresh from          the   
flowing stream of the ,euphrates to the 
brook of ,egypt2          and you will  
be gathered one by one1 children of     
,israel4  #jbg3jac ,it will happen in   
that day that a great trumpet will be   
blown2          and those who were ready
 to perish in the land of ,assyria1     

and those who were outcasts in the land 
of ,egypt1 shall come2          and they
 will worship ,yahweh in the holy       
mountain at ,jerusalem4  #jbh3jja ,woe  
to the crown of pride of the drunkards  
of ,ephraim1 and to          the fading 
flower of his glorious beauty1 which is 
on the head          of the fertile     
valley of those who are overcome with   
wine6  #jbh3jjb ,behold1 the ,lord has a
 mighty and strong one4  ,like a storm  
of hail1          a destroying storm1   
and like a storm of mighty waters       
overflowing1          he will cast them 
down to the earth with his hand4        
#jbh3jjc ,the crown of pride of the     
drunkards of ,ephraim will be           
trodden under foot4  #jbh3jjd ,the      
fading flower of his glorious beauty1   
which is on the head          of the    
fertile valley1 shall be like the       
first-ripe fig          before the      
summer2 which someone picks and eats as 
soon          as he sees it4  #jbh3jje  
,in that day1 ,yahweh of ,armies will   

become a crown of glory1          and a 
diadem of beauty1 to the residue of his 
people2  #jbh3jjf and a spirit of       
justice to him who sits in judgment1    
and strength to those who turn back the 
battle at the gate4  #jbh3jjg ,they also
 reel with wine1 and stagger with strong
 drink4          ,the priest and the    
prophet reel with strong drink4         
,they are swallowed up by wine4  ,they  
stagger with strong drink4              
,they err in vision4  ,they stumble in  
judgment4  #jbh3jjh ,for all tables are 
completely full of filthy vomit and     
filthiness4  #jbh3jji ,whom will he     
teach knowledge8  ,to whom will he      
explain the message8          ,those who
 are weaned from the milk1 and drawn    
from the breasts8  #jbh3jaj ,for it is  
precept on precept1 precept on precept2 
line on line1          line on line2    
here a little1 there a little4  #jbh3jaa
 ,but he will speak to this nation with 
stammering lips and          in another 
language2  #jbh3jab to whom he said1    

,this is the resting place4  ,give rest 
to weary2          and ,this is the     
refreshing2 yet they would not hear4    
#jbh3jac ,therefore the word of ,yahweh 
will be to them precept on precept1     
precept on precept2 line on line1 line  
on line2 here a little1          there a
 little2 that they may go1 fall         
backward1 be broken1          be snared1
 and be taken4  #jbh3jad ,therefore hear
 the word of ,yahweh1 you scoffers1 that
 rule          this people in           
,jerusalem3  #jbh3jae ,because you have 
said1 ',we have made a covenant with    
death1          and with ,sheol are we  
in agreement4  ,when the overflowing    
scourge          passes through1 it     
won't come to us2 for we have made lies 
our refuge1 and we have hidden ourselves
 under falsehood4'  #jbh3jaf ,therefore 
thus says the ,lord ,yahweh1 ,behold1 ,i
 lay in ,zion          for a foundation 
a stone1 a tried stone1 a precious      
cornerstone          of a sure          
foundation4  ,he who believes shall not 

act hastily4  #jbh3jag ,i will make     
justice the measuring line1 and         
righteousness          the plumb line4  
,the hail will sweep away the refuge of 
lies1          and the waters will      
overflow the hiding place4  #jbh3jah    
,your covenant with death shall be      
annulled1 and your agreement            
with ,sheol shall not stand4  ,when the 
overflowing scourge          passes     
through1 then you will be trampled down 
by it4  #jbh3jai ,as often as it passes 
through1 it will seize you2 for morning 
by morning it will pass through1 by day 
and by night2          and it will be   
nothing but terror to understand the    
message4  #jbh3jbj ,for the bed is too  
short to stretch out on1 and the blanket
          is too narrow to wrap oneself 
in4  #jbh3jba ,for ,yahweh will rise up 
as on ,mount ,perazim4          ,he will
 be angry as in the valley of ,gibeon2  
that he may          do his work1 his   
unusual work1 and bring to pass his act1
          his extraordinary act4        

#jbh3jbb ,now therefore don't be        
scoffers1 lest your bonds be made       
strong2          for ,i have heard a    
decree of destruction from the ,lord1   
,yahweh          of ,armies1 on the     
whole earth4  #jbh3jbc ,give ear1 and   
hear my voice6  ,listen1 and hear my    
speech6  #jbh3jbd ,does he who plows to 
sow plow continually8  ,does he keep    
turning the soil and breaking the clods8
  #jbh3jbe ,when he has leveled its     
surface1 doesn't he plant the dill1     
and scatter the cumin seed1 and put in  
the wheat in rows1          the barley  
in the appointed place1 and the spelt in
 its place8  #jbh3jbf ,for his ,god     
instructs him in right judgment1 and    
teaches him4  #jbh3jbg ,for the dill are
 not threshed with a sharp instrument1  
neither is a cart wheel turned over the 
cumin2 but the dill          is beaten  
out with a stick1 and the cumin with a  
rod4  #jbh3jbh ,bread flour must be     
ground2 so he will not always be        
threshing it4          ,although he     

drives the wheel of his threshing cart  
over it1          his horses don't grind
 it4  #jbh3jbi ,this also comes forth   
from ,yahweh of ,armies1 who is         
wonderful          in counsel1 and      
excellent in wisdom4  #jbi3jja ,woe to  
,ariel6  ,ariel1 the city where ,david  
encamped6          ,add year to year2   
let the feasts come around2  #jbi3jjb   
then ,i will distress ,ariel1 and there 
will be mourning          and           
lamentation4  ,she shall be to me as an 
altar hearthor1 ,ariel4  #jbi3jjc ,i    
will encamp against you all around you1 
and will lay          siege against you 
with posted troops4  ,i will raise siege
          works against you4  #jbi3jjd  
,you will be brought down1 and will     
speak out of the ground4          ,your 
speech will mumble out of the dust4     
,your voice will          be as of one  
who has a familiar spirit1 out of the   
ground1          and your speech will   
whisper out of the dust4  #jbi3jje ,but 
the multitude of your foes will be like 

fine dust1          and the multitude of
 the ruthless ones like chaff that blows
 away4          ,yes1 it will be in an  
instant1 suddenly4  #jbi3jjf ,she will  
be visited by ,yahweh of ,armies with   
thunder1          with earthquake1 with 
great noise1 with whirlwind and storm1  
and with the flame of a devouring fire4 
#jbi3jjg ,the multitude of all the      
nations that fight against ,ariel1      
even all who fight against her and her  
stronghold1 and who          distress   
her1 will be like a dream1 a vision of  
the night4  #jbi3jjh ,it will be like   
when a hungry man dreams1 and behold1   
he eats2 but he awakes1 and his hunger  
isn't satisfied2          or like when a
 thirsty man dreams1 and behold1 he     
drinks2          but he awakes1 and     
behold1 he is faint1 and he is still    
thirsty4          ,the multitude of all 
the nations that fight against ,mount   
,zion          will be like that4       
#jbi3jji ,pause and wonder6  ,blind     
yourselves and be blind6          ,they 

are drunken1 but not with wine2 they    
stagger1 but not          with strong   
drink4  #jbi3jaj ,for ,yahweh has poured
 out on you a spirit of deep sleep1     
and has closed your eyes1 the prophets2 
and he has covered          your heads1 
the seers4  #jbi3jaa ,all vision has    
become to you like the words of a book  
that          is sealed1 which men      
deliver to one who is educated1 saying1 
,read this1 please2 and he says1 ,i     
can't1 for it is sealed3  #jbi3jab and  
the book is delivered to one who is not 
educated1 saying1          ,read this1  
please2 and he says1 ,i can't read4     
#jbi3jac ,the ,lord said1 ,because this 
people draws near with their mouth      
and with their lips to honor me1 but    
they have removed their          heart  
far from me1 and their fear of me is a  
commandment          of men which has   
been taught2  #jbi3jad therefore1       
behold1 ,i will proceed to do a         
marvelous work          among this      
people1 even a marvelous work and a     

wonder2          and the wisdom of their
 wise men will perish1 and the          
understanding          of their prudent 
men will be hidden4  #jbi3jae ,woe to   
those who deeply hide their counsel from
 ,yahweh1          and whose works are  
in the dark1 and who say1 ,who sees us8 
and ,who knows us8  #jbi3jaf ,you turn  
things upside down6  ,should the potter 
be thought          to be like clay2    
that the thing made should say about him
          who made it1 ,he didn't make  
me2 or the thing formed say          of 
him who formed it1 ,he has no           
understanding8  #jbi3jag ,isn't it yet a
 very little while1 and ,lebanon will be
 turned          into a fruitful field1 
and the fruitful field will be regarded 
as a forest8  #jbi3jah ,in that day1 the
 deaf will hear the words of the book1  
and the eyes of the blind will see out  
of obscurity and          out of        
darkness4  #jbi3jai ,the humble also    
will increase their joy in ,yahweh1 and 
the poor          among men will rejoice

 in the ,holy ,one of ,israel4  #jbi3jbj
 ,for the ruthless is brought to        
nothing1 and the scoffer ceases1        
and all those who are alert to do evil  
are cut off--  #jbi3jba who cause a     
person to be indicted by a word1 and lay
 a snare          for the arbiter in the
 gate1 and who deprive the innocent     
of justice with false testimony4        
#jbi3jbb ,therefore thus says ,yahweh1  
who redeemed ,abraham1 concerning       
the house of ,jacob3  ,jacob shall no   
longer be ashamed1          neither     
shall his face grow pale4  #jbi3jbc ,but
 when he sees his children1 the work of 
my hands1          in the midst of him1 
they will sanctify my name4             
,yes1 they will sanctify the ,holy ,one 
of ,jacob1 and will stand          in   
awe of the ,god of ,israel4  #jbi3jbd   
,they also who err in spirit will come  
to understanding1          and those who
 grumble will receive instruction4      
#jcj3jja ,woe to the rebellious         
children1 says ,yahweh1 who take        

counsel1          but not from me2 and  
who make an alliance1 but not with my   
,spirit1          that they may add sin 
to sin1  #jcj3jjb who set out to go down
 into ,egypt1 and have not asked my     
advice2          to strengthen          
themselves in the strength of ,pharaoh1 
and to take refuge in the shadow of     
,egypt6  #jcj3jjc ,therefore the        
strength of ,pharaoh will be your shame1
          and the refuge in the shadow  
of ,egypt your confusion4  #jcj3jjd ,for
 their princes are at ,zoan1 and their  
ambassadors have          come to       
,hanes4  #jcj3jje ,they shall all be    
ashamed because of a people that can't  
profit them1 that are not a help nor    
profit1 but a shame1          and also a
 reproach4  #jcj3jjf ,the burden of the 
animals of the ,south4  ,through the    
land          of trouble and anguish1 of
 the lioness and the lion1 the viper    
and fiery flying serpent1 they carry    
their riches on the shoulders           
of young donkeys1 and their treasures on

 the humps of camels1          to an    
unprofitable people4  #jcj3jjg ,for     
,egypt helps in vain1 and to no purpose2
 therefore have ,i          called her  
,rahab who sits still4  #jcj3jjh ,now   
go1 write it before them on a tablet1   
and inscribe it in a book1          that
 it may be for the time to come forever 
and ever4  #jcj3jji ,for it is a        
rebellious people1 lying children1      
children who          will not hear the 
law of ,yahweh2  #jcj3jaj who tell the  
seers1 ,don't see6 and to the prophets1 
,don't prophesy to us right things4     
,tell us pleasant things4               
,prophesy deceits4  #jcj3jaa ,get out of
 the way4  ,turn aside from the path4   
,cause the ,holy ,one of ,israel to     
cease from before us4  #jcj3jab         
,therefore thus says the ,holy ,one of  
,israel1 ,because you          despise  
this word1 and trust in oppression and  
perverseness1          and rely on it2  
#jcj3jac therefore this iniquity shall  
be to you like a breach ready           

to fall1 swelling out in a high wall1   
whose breaking comes          suddenly  
in an instant4  #jcj3jad ,he will break 
it as a potter's vessel is broken1      
breaking it          in pieces without  
sparing1 so that there won't be found   
among          the broken piece a piece 
good enough to take fire from the       
hearth1          or to dip up water out 
of the cistern4  #jcj3jae ,for thus said
 the ,lord ,yahweh1 the ,holy ,one of   
,israel1 ,you will          be saved in 
returning and rest4  ,your strength will
 be in          quietness and in        
confidence4  ,you refused1  #jcj3jaf but
 you said1 ,no1 for we will flee on     
horses2          therefore you will     
flee2 and1 ,we will ride on the swift2  
therefore those who pursue you will be  
swift4  #jcj3jag ,one thousand will flee
 at the threat of one4  ,at the threat  
of five1 you will flee until you are    
left like a beacon          on the top  
of a mountain1 and like a banner on a   
hill4  #jcj3jah ,therefore ,yahweh will 

wait1 that he may be gracious to you2   
and therefore he will be exalted1 that  
he may have mercy on you1          for  
,yahweh is a ,god of justice4  ,blessed 
are all those who          wait for him4
  #jcj3jai ,for the people will dwell in
 ,zion at ,jerusalem4  ,you will weep   
no more4  ,he will surely be gracious to
 you at the voice          of your cry4 
,when he hears you1 he will answer you4 
#jcj3jbj ,though the ,lord may give you 
the bread of adversity and the water    
of affliction1 yet your teachers won't  
be hidden anymore1          but your    
eyes will see your teachers2  #jcj3jba  
and when you turn to the right hand1 and
 when you turn to the left1             
your ears will hear a voice behind you1 
saying1 ,this is the way4          ,walk
 in it4  #jcj3jbb ,you shall defile the 
overlaying of your engraved images      
of silver1 and the plating of your      
molten images of gold4          ,you    
shall cast them away as an unclean      
thing4  ,you shall          tell it1 ,go

 away6  #jcj3jbc ,he will give the rain 
for your seed1 with which you will sow  
the ground2 and bread of the increase of
 the ground will be          rich and   
plentiful4  ,in that day1 your livestock
 will feed          in large pastures4  
#jcj3jbd ,the oxen likewise and the     
young donkeys that till the ground will 
eat savory provender1 which has been    
winnowed with the shovel          and   
with the fork4  #jcj3jbe ,there shall be
 brooks and streams of water on every   
lofty mountain          and on every    
high hill in the day of the great       
slaughter1          when the towers     
fall4  #jcj3jbf ,moreover the light of  
the moon will be like the light of the  
sun1          and the light of the sun  
will be seven times brighter1           
like the light of seven days1 in the day
 that ,yahweh binds          up the     
fracture of his people1 and heals the   
wound they          were struck with4   
#jcj3jbg ,behold1 the name of ,yahweh   
comes from far away1 burning with       

his anger1 and in thick rising smoke4   
,his lips are full          of          
indignation1 and his tongue is as a     
devouring fire4  #jcj3jbh ,his breath is
 as an overflowing stream that reaches  
even to          the neck1 to sift the  
nations with the sieve of destruction2  
and a bridle that leads to ruin will be 
in the jaws          of the peoples4    
#jcj3jbi ,you will have a song1 as in   
the night when a holy feast is kept2    
and gladness of heart1 as when one goes 
with a flute to come          to        
,yahweh's mountain1 to ,israel's ,rock4 
#jcj3jcj ,yahweh will cause his glorious
 voice to be heard1 and will show       
the descent of his arm1 with the        
indignation of his anger1          and  
the flame of a devouring fire1 with a   
blast1          storm1 and hailstones4  
#jcj3jca ,for through the voice of      
,yahweh the ,assyrian will be dismayed4 
,he will strike him with his rod4       
#jcj3jcb ,every stroke of the rod of    
punishment1 which ,yahweh will lay      

on him1 will be with the sound of       
tambourines and harps4          ,he will
 fight with them in battles1 brandishing
 weapons4  #jcj3jcc ,for his burning    
place has long been ready4  ,yes1 for   
the king          it is made ready4  ,he
 has made its pyre deep and large       
with fire and much wood4  ,yahweh's     
breath1 like a stream          of       
sulfur1 kindles it4  #jca3jja ,woe to   
those who go down to ,egypt for help1   
and rely on horses1          and trust  
in chariots because they are many1 and  
in horsemen          because they are   
very strong1 but they don't look to the 
,holy ,one          of ,israel1 and they
 don't seek ,yahweh6  #jca3jjb ,yet he  
also is wise1 and will bring disaster1  
and will not call back          his     
words1 but will arise against the house 
of the evil-doers1          and against 
the help of those who work iniquity4    
#jca3jjc ,now the ,egyptians are men1   
and not ,god2 and their horses flesh1   
and not spirit4  ,when ,yahweh stretches

 out his hand1          both he who     
helps shall stumble1 and he who is      
helped shall fall1          and they all
 shall be consumed together4  #jca3jjd  
,for thus says ,yahweh to me1 ,as the   
lion and the young lion                 
growling over his prey1 if a multitude  
of shepherds is called          together
 against him1 will not be dismayed at   
their voice1          nor abase himself 
for the noise of them1 so ,yahweh of    
,armies          will come down to fight
 on ,mount ,zion and on its heights4    
#jca3jje ,as birds hovering1 so ,yahweh 
of ,armies will protect ,jerusalem4     
,he will protect and deliver it4  ,he   
will pass over          and preserve it4
  #jca3jjf ,return to him from whom you 
have deeply revolted1          children 
of ,israel4  #jca3jjg ,for in that day  
everyone shall cast away his idols of   
silver and          his idols of        
gold--sin which your own hands have made
 for you4  #jca3jjh ,the ,assyrian will 
fall by the sword1 not of man2 and the  

sword1          not of mankind1 shall   
devour him4  ,he will flee from the     
sword1          and his young men will  
become subject to forced labor4         
#jca3jji ,his rock will pass away by    
reason of terror1 and his princes will  
be afraid of the banner1 says ,yahweh1  
whose fire is in ,zion1          and his
 furnace in ,jerusalem4  #jcb3jja       
,behold1 a king shall reign in          
righteousness1 and princes shall        
rule in justice4  #jcb3jjb ,a man shall 
be as a hiding place from the wind1 and 
a covert          from the storm1 as    
streams of water in a dry place1        
as the shade of a large rock in a weary 
land4  #jcb3jjc ,the eyes of those who  
see will not be dim1 and the ears       
of those who hear will listen4  #jcb3jjd
 ,the heart of the rash will understand 
knowledge1 and the tongue          of   
the stammerers will be ready to speak   
plainly4  #jcb3jje ,the fool will no    
longer be called noble1 nor the         
scoundrel          be highly respected4 

#jcb3jjf ,for the fool will speak folly1
 and his heart will work iniquity1      
to practice profanity1 and to utter     
error against ,yahweh1 ,to make         
empty the soul of the hungry1 and to    
cause the drink of          the thirsty 
to fail4  #jcb3jjg ,the ways of the     
scoundrel are evil4  ,he devises wicked 
devices to destroy the humble with lying
 words1 even when          the needy    
speaks right4  #jcb3jjh ,but the noble  
devises noble things2 and he will       
continue          in noble things4      
#jcb3jji ,rise up1 you women who are at 
ease6  ,hear my voice6          ,you    
careless daughters1 give ear to my      
speech6  #jcb3jaj ,for days beyond a    
year you will be troubled1 you careless 
women2          for the vintage shall   
fail4  ,the harvest won't come4         
#jcb3jaa ,tremble1 you women who are at 
ease6  ,be troubled1 you careless ones6 
,strip yourselves1 make yourselves      
naked1 and put sackcloth          on    
your waist4  #jcb3jab ,beat your breasts

 for the pleasant fields1 for the       
fruitful vine4  #jcb3jac ,thorns and    
briars will come up on my people's land2
 yes1 on all          the houses of joy 
in the joyous city4  #jcb3jad ,for the  
palace will be forsaken4  ,the populous 
city will be deserted4          ,the    
hill and the watchtower will be for dens
 forever1          a delight for wild   
donkeys1 a pasture of flocks2  #jcb3jae 
,until the ,spirit is poured on us from 
on high1 and the          wilderness    
becomes a fruitful field1 and the       
fruitful field          is considered a 
forest4  #jcb3jaf ,then justice will    
dwell in the wilderness2 and            
righteousness          will remain in   
the fruitful field4  #jcb3jag ,the work 
of righteousness will be peace2 and the 
effect          of righteousness1       
quietness and confidence forever4       
#jcb3jah ,my people will abide in a     
peaceful habitation1 in safe dwellings1 
and in quiet resting places4  #jcb3jai  
,though hail flattens the forest1 and   

the city is leveled completely4         
#jcb3jbj ,blessed are you who sow beside
 all waters1 who send out the feet      
of the ox and the donkey4  #jcc3jja ,woe
 to you who destroy1 but you weren't    
destroyed2 and who betray1          but 
nobody betrayed you6  ,when you have    
finished destroying1          you will  
be destroyed2 and when you have made an 
end of betrayal1          you will be   
betrayed4  #jcc3jjb ,yahweh1 be gracious
 to us4  ,we have waited for you4       
,be our strength every morning1 our     
salvation also in the          time of  
trouble4  #jcc3jjc ,at the noise of the 
thunder1 the peoples have fled4         
,when you lift yourself up1 the nations 
are scattered4  #jcc3jjd ,your spoil    
will be gathered as the caterpillar     
gathers4          ,men will leap on it  
as locusts leap4  #jcc3jje ,yahweh is   
exalted1 for he dwells on high4  ,he has
 filled ,zion          with justice and 
righteousness4  #jcc3jjf ,there will be 
stability in your times1 abundance of   

salvation1          wisdom1 and         
knowledge4  ,the fear of ,yahweh is your
 treasure4  #jcc3jjg ,behold1 their     
valiant ones cry outside2 the           
ambassadors          of peace weep      
bitterly4  #jcc3jjh ,the highways are   
desolate4  ,the traveling man ceases4   
,the covenant is broken4  ,he has       
despised the cities4          ,he       
doesn't regard man4  #jcc3jji ,the land 
mourns and languishes4  ,lebanon is     
confounded and          withers away4   
,sharon is like a desert1 and ,bashan   
and ,carmel          are stripped bare4 
#jcc3jaj ,now ,i will arise1 says       
,yahweh2 ,now ,i will lift myself up4   
,now ,i will be exalted4  #jcc3jaa ,you 
will conceive chaff4  ,you will bring   
forth stubble4          ,your breath is 
a fire that will devour you4  #jcc3jab  
,the peoples will be like the burning of
 lime1 like thorns          that are cut
 down and burned in the fire4  #jcc3jac

 done2 and1 you who are near1           

acknowledge my might4  #jcc3jad ,the    
sinners in ,zion are afraid4  ,trembling
 has seized the          godless ones4

devouring fire8          ,who among us  
can live with everlasting burning8      
#jcc3jae ,he who walks righteously1 and 
speaks blamelessly2 ,he who             
despises the gain of oppressions1 who   
gestures with his hands1                
refusing to take a bribe1 who stops his 
ears from hearing          of blood1 and
 shuts his eyes from looking at evil--  
#jcc3jaf he will dwell on high4  ,his   
place of defense will be          the   
fortress of rocks4  ,his bread will be  
supplied4          ,his waters will be  
sure4  #jcc3jag ,your eyes will see the

a distant land4  #jcc3jah ,your heart   
will meditate on the terror4  ,where is 
he who counted8          ,where is he   
who weighed8  ,where is he who counted  
the towers8  #jcc3jai ,you will no      
longer see the fierce people1 a people  

of a deep          speech that you can't
 comprehend1 with a strange language    
that you can't understand4  #jcc3jbj    
,look at ,zion1 the city of our         
appointed festivals4          ,your eyes
 will see ,jerusalem1 a quiet           
habitation1 a tent          that won't  
be removed4  ,its stakes will never be  
plucked up1          nor will any of its
 cords be broken4  #jcc3jba ,but there  
,yahweh will be with us in majesty1 a   
place of broad          rivers and      
streams1 in which no galley with oars   
will go1          neither will any      
gallant ship pass by there4  #jcc3jbb

 rigging is untied4  ,they couldn't     
strengthen the foot          of their   
mast4  ,they couldn't spread the sail4  
,then the prey          of a great spoil
 was divided4  ,the lame took the prey4 
#jcc3jbd ,the inhabitant won't say1 ,i  
am sick4  ,the people who dwell         

therein will be forgiven their iniquity4

,let the earth and all it contains hear2
 the world1          and everything that
 comes from it4  #jcd3jjb ,for ,yahweh  
is enraged against all the nations1 and 
angry          with all their armies4   
,he has utterly destroyed them4         
,he has given them over for slaughter4  
#jcd3jjc ,their slain will also be cast 
out1 and the stench of their dead       
bodies will come up2 and the mountains  
will melt in their blood4  #jcd3jjd ,all
 of the army of the sky will be         
dissolved4  ,the sky will be            
rolled up like a scroll1 and all its    
armies will fade away1          as a    
leaf fades from off a vine or a fig     
tree4  #jcd3jje ,for my sword has drunk 
its fill in the sky4  ,behold1 it will  
come          down on ,edom1 and on the 
people of my curse1 for judgment4       
#jcd3jjf ,yahweh's sword is filled with 
blood4  ,it is covered with fat1        

with the blood of lambs and goats1 with 
the fat of the kidneys          of rams2
 for ,yahweh has a sacrifice in ,bozrah1
 ,and a great          slaughter in the 
land of ,edom4  #jcd3jjg ,the wild oxen 
will come down with them1 and the young 
bulls          with the mighty bulls2   
and their land will be drunken with     
blood1          and their dust made     
greasy with fat4  #jcd3jjh ,for ,yahweh 
has a day of vengeance1 a year of       
recompense          for the cause of    
,zion4  #jcd3jji ,its streams will be   
turned into pitch1 its dust into sulfur1
          ,and its land will become     
burning pitch4  #jcd3jaj ,it won't be   
quenched night nor day4  ,its smoke will
 go up forever4          ,from          
generation to generation1 it will lie   
waste4          ,no one will pass       
through it forever and ever4  #jcd3jaa  
,but the pelican and the porcupine will 
possess it4          ,the owl and the   
raven will dwell in it4  ,he will       
stretch          the line of confusion  

over it1 and the plumb line of          
emptiness4  #jcd3jab ,they shall call   
its nobles to the kingdom1 but none     
shall be there2          and all its    
princes shall be nothing4  #jcd3jac     
,thorns will come up in its palaces1    
nettles and thistles          in its    
fortresses2 and it will be a habitation 
of jackals1          a court for        
ostriches4  #jcd3jad ,the wild animals  
of the desert will meet with the wolves1
          and the wild goat will cry to 
his fellow4  ,yes1 the night            
creatureliterally1 lilith1 which could  
also be a night demon          or night 
monster shall settle there1 and shall   
find herself          a place of rest4  
#jcd3jae ,the arrow snake will make her 
nest there1 and lay1 hatch1 and gather  
under her shade4  ,yes1 the kites will  
be gathered there1          every one   
with her mate4  #jcd3jaf ,search in the 
book of ,yahweh1 and read3  not one of  
these will          be missing4  none   
will lack her mate4  ,for my mouth has  

commanded1          and his ,spirit has 
gathered them4  #jcd3jag ,he has cast   
the lot for them1 and his hand has      
divided it          to them with a      
measuring line4  ,they shall possess it 
forever4          ,from generation to   
generation they will dwell in it4       
#jce3jja ,the wilderness and the dry    
land will be glad4  ,the desert         
will rejoice and blossom like a rose4   
#jce3jjb ,it will blossom abundantly1   
and rejoice even with joy and singing4  
,lebanon's glory ,lebanon will be given 
to it1 the excellence          of       
,carmel and ,sharon4  ,they will see    
,yahweh's glory1          the excellence
 of our ,god4  #jce3jjc ,strengthen the 
weak hands1 and make firm the feeble    
knees4  #jce3jjd ,tell those who have a 
fearful heart1 ,be strong4  ,don't be   
afraid4          ,behold1 your ,god will
 come with vengeance1 ,god's            
retribution4          ,he will come and 
save you4  #jce3jje ,then the eyes of   
the blind will be opened1 and the ears  

of the deaf will be unstopped4  #jce3jjf
 ,then the lame man will leap like a    
deer1 and the tongue of          the    
mute will sing2 for waters will break   
out in the wilderness1          and     
streams in the desert4  #jce3jjg ,the   
burning sand will become a pool1 and the
 thirsty ground          springs of     
water4  ,grass with reeds and rushes    
will be in          the habitation of   
jackals1 where they lay4  #jce3jjh ,a   
highway will be there1 a road1 and it   
will be called ,the ,holy ,way4         
,the unclean shall not pass over it1 but
 it will be for those          who walk 
in the ,way4  ,wicked fools will not go 
there4  #jce3jji ,no lion will be there1
 nor will any ravenous animal go up on  
it4          ,they will not be found    
there2 but the redeemed will walk there4
  #jce3jaj ,the ,yahweh's ransomed ones 
will return1 and come with singing      
to ,zion2 and everlasting joy will be on
 their heads4          ,they will obtain
 gladness and joy1 and sorrow and       

sighing          will flee away4        
#jcf3jja ,now it happened in the        
fourteenth year of king ,hezekiah1      
that ,sennacherib king of ,assyria      
attacked all of the fortified           
cities of ,judah1 and captured them4    
#jcf3jjb ,the king of ,assyria sent     
,rabshakeh from ,lachish to ,jerusalem  
to king ,hezekiah with a large army4    
,he stood by the aqueduct          from 
the upper pool in the fuller's field    
highway4  #jcf3jjc ,then ,eliakim the   
son of ,hilkiah1 who was over the       
household1          and ,shebna the     
scribe1 and ,joah1 the son of ,asaph1   
the recorder          came out to him4  
#jcf3jjd ,rabshakeh said to them1 ,now  
tell ,hezekiah1 ',thus says          the
 great king1 the king of ,assyria1 ,what
 confidence is this          in which   
you trust8  #jcf3jje ,i say that your   
counsel and strength for the war are    
only vain words4          ,now in whom  
do you trust1 that you have rebelled    
against me8  #jcf3jjf ,behold1 you trust

 in the staff of this bruised reed1 even
 in ,egypt1          which if a man     
leans on it1 it will go into his hand   
and pierce it4          ,so is ,pharaoh 
king of ,egypt to all who trust in him4 
#jcf3jjg ,but if you tell me1 ',we trust
 in ,yahweh our ,god1' isn't that       
he whose high places and whose altars   
,hezekiah has taken away1          and  
has said to ,judah and to ,jerusalem1   
',you shall worship          before this
 altar8'  #jcf3jjh ,now therefore1      
please make a pledge to my master the   
king          of ,assyria1 and ,i will  
give you two thousand horses1 if you    
are able on your part to set riders on  
them4  #jcf3jji ,how then can you turn  
away the face of one captain of the     
least          of my master's servants1 
and put your trust on ,egypt for        
chariots          and for horsemen8     
#jcf3jaj ,have ,i come up now without   
,yahweh against this land to destroy it8
          ,yahweh said to me1 ,go up    
against this land1 and destroy it4'     

#jcf3jaa ,then ,eliakim1 ,shebna and    
,joah said to ,rabshakeh1 ,please speak 
to your servants in ,aramaic1 for we    
understand it2          and don't speak 
to us in the ,jews' language in the     
hearing          of the people who are  
on the wall4  #jcf3jab ,but ,rabshakeh  
said1 ,has my master sent me only to    
your master          and to you1 to     
speak these words1 and not to the men   
who sit          on the wall1 who will  
eat their own dung and drink their own  
urine with you8  #jcf3jac ,then         
,rabshakeh stood1 and called out with a 
loud voice in          the ,jews'       
language1 and said1 ,hear the words of  
the great king1          the king of    
,assyria6  #jcf3jad ,thus says the king1
 ',don't let ,hezekiah deceive you2     
for he will not be able to deliver you4 
#jcf3jae ,don't let ,hezekiah make you  
trust in ,yahweh1 saying1 ,yahweh will  
surely deliver us4  ,this city won't be 
given into the hand          of the king
 of ,assyria4'  #jcf3jaf ,don't listen  

to ,hezekiah1 for thus says the king    
of ,assyria1 ',make your peace with me1 
and come out to me2          and each of
 you eat from his vine1 and each one    
from his fig tree1          and each one
 of you drink the waters of his own     
cistern2  #jcf3jag until ,i come and    
take you away to a land like your own   
land1          a land of grain and new  
wine1 a land of bread and vineyards4    
#jcf3jah ,beware lest ,hezekiah persuade
 you1 saying1 ,yahweh will deliver us4  
,have any of the gods of the nations    
delivered their lands          from the 
hand of the king of ,assyria8  #jcf3jai 
,where are the gods of ,hamath and      
,arpad8  ,where are the gods          of
 ,sepharvaim8  ,have they delivered     
,samaria from my hand8  #jcf3jbj ,who   
are they among all the gods of these    
countries that have          delivered  
their country out of my hand1 that      
,yahweh should          deliver         
,jerusalem out of my hand8'  #jcf3jba   
,but they remained silent1 and said     

nothing in reply1          for the      
king's commandment was1 ,don't answer   
him4  #jcf3jbb ,then ,eliakim the son of
 ,hilkiah1 who was over the household1  
and ,shebna the scribe1 and ,joah1 the  
son of ,asaph1 the recorder1            
came to ,hezekiah with their clothes    
torn1 and told him          the words of
 ,rabshakeh4  #jcg3jja ,it happened1    
when king ,hezekiah heard it1 that he   
tore his clothes1          covered      
himself with sackcloth1 and went into   
,yahweh's house4  #jcg3jjb ,he sent     
,eliakim1 who was over the household1   
and ,shebna the scribe1          and the
 elders of the priests1 covered with    
sackcloth1          to ,isaiah the      
prophet1 the son of ,amoz4  #jcg3jjc    
,they said to him1 ,thus says ,hezekiah1
 ',this day is a day of trouble1        
and of rebuke1 and of rejection2 for the
 children have come          to the     
birth1 and there is no strength to bring
 forth4  #jcg3jjd ,it may be ,yahweh    
your ,god will hear the words of        

,rabshakeh1          whom the king of   
,assyria his master has sent to defy the
 living ,god1          and will rebuke  
the words which ,yahweh your ,god has   
heard4          ,therefore lift up your 
prayer for the remnant that is left4'   
#jcg3jje ,so the servants of king       
,hezekiah came to ,isaiah4  #jcg3jjf    
,isaiah said to them1 ,tell your master1
 ',thus says ,yahweh1 ,don't be         
afraid of the words that you have heard1
 with which the servants          of the
 king of ,assyria have blasphemed me4   
#jcg3jjg ,behold1 ,i will put a spirit  
in him and he will hear news1           
and will return to his own land4  ,i    
will cause him to fall          by the  
sword in his own land4'  #jcg3jjh ,so   
,rabshakeh returned1 and found the king 
of ,assyria warring          against    
,libnah1 for he had heard that he was   
departed from ,lachish4  #jcg3jji ,he   
heard news concerning ,tirhakah king of 
,ethiopia1 ,he has          come out to 
fight against you4  ,when he heard it1  

he sent          messengers to          
,hezekiah1 saying1  #jcg3jaj ,thus shall
 you speak to ,hezekiah king of ,judah1 
saying1 ',don't let          your ,god  
in whom you trust deceive you1 saying1  
,jerusalem won't          be given into 
the hand of the king of ,assyria4       
#jcg3jaa ,behold1 you have heard what   
the kings of ,assyria          have done
 to all lands1 by destroying them       
utterly4          ,shall you be         
delivered8  #jcg3jab ,have the gods of  
the nations delivered them1 which my    
fathers          have destroyed1 ,gozan1
 ,haran1 ,rezeph1 and the children of   
,eden          who were in ,telassar8   
#jcg3jac ,where is the king of ,hamath1 
and the king of ,arpad1 and the king    
of the city of ,sepharvaim1 of ,hena1   
and ,ivvah8'  #jcg3jad ,hezekiah        
received the letter from the hand of the
 messengers          and read it4  ,then
 ,hezekiah went up to ,yahweh's house1  
and spread it before ,yahweh4  #jcg3jae 
,hezekiah prayed to ,yahweh1 saying1    

#jcg3jaf ,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of
 ,israel1 who is enthroned among        
the cherubim1 you are the ,god1 even you
 alone1 of all the kingdoms          of 
the earth4  ,you have made heaven and   
earth4  #jcg3jag ,turn your ear1        
,yahweh1 and hear4  ,open your eyes1    
,yahweh1 and behold4          ,hear all 
of the words of ,sennacherib1 who has   
sent to defy          the living ,god4  
#jcg3jah ,truly1 ,yahweh1 the kings of  
,assyria have destroyed all          the
 countries and their land1  #jcg3jai and
 have cast their gods into the fire2 for
 they were no gods1          but the    
work of men's hands1 wood and stone2    
therefore they          have destroyed  
them4  #jcg3jbj ,now therefore1 ,yahweh 
our ,god1 save us from his hand1        
that all the kingdoms of the earth may  
know that you are ,yahweh1          even
 you only4  #jcg3jba ,then ,isaiah the  
son of ,amoz sent to ,hezekiah1 saying1 
,thus          says ,yahweh1 the ,god of
 ,israel1 ',because you have prayed     

to me against ,sennacherib king of      
,assyria1  #jcg3jbb this is the word    
which ,yahweh has spoken concerning him4
          ,the virgin daughter of ,zion 
has despised you and ridiculed you4     
,the daughter of ,jerusalem has shaken  
her head at you4  #jcg3jbc ,whom have   
you defied and blasphemed8  ,against    
whom have          you exalted your     
voice and lifted up your eyes on high8  
,against the ,holy ,one of ,israel4     
#jcg3jbd ,by your servants1 have you    
defied the ,lord1 and have said1        
,with the multitude of my chariots ,i   
have come up to the height          of  
the mountains1 to the innermost parts of
 ,lebanon4          ,i will cut down its
 tall cedars and its choice fir trees4  
,i will enter into its farthest height1 
the forest of          its fruitful     
field4  #jcg3jbe ,i have dug and drunk  
water1 and with the sole of my feet ,i  
will dry up all the rivers of ,egypt4   
#jcg3jbf ,have you not heard how ,i have
 done it long ago1 and formed it        

in ancient times8  ,now ,i have brought 
it to pass1 that it          should be  
yours to destroy fortified cities1      
turning them          into ruinous      
heaps4  #jcg3jbg ,therefore their       
inhabitants had little power4  ,they    
were dismayed          and confounded4  
,they were like the grass of the field1 
and like the green herb1 like the grass 
on the housetops1          and like a   
field before its crop has grown4        
#jcg3jbh ,but ,i know your sitting down1
 your going out1 your coming in1        
and your raging against me4  #jcg3jbi   
,because of your raging against me1 and 
because your arrogance          has come
 up into my ears1 therefore will ,i put 
my hook          in your nose and my    
bridle in your lips1 and ,i will turn   
you          back by the way by which   
you came4  #jcg3jcj ,this shall be the  
sign to you4  ,you will eat this year   
that          which grows of itself1 and
 in the second year that which          
springs from the same2 and in the third 

year sow and reap          and plant    
vineyards1 and eat their fruit4         
#jcg3jca ,the remnant that is escaped of
 the house of ,judah will again         
take root downward1 and bear fruit      
upward4  #jcg3jcb ,for out of ,jerusalem
 a remnant will go forth1 and survivors 
will escape from ,mount ,zion4  ,the    
zeal of ,yahweh of ,armies          will
 perform this4'  #jcg3jcc ,therefore    
thus says ,yahweh concerning the king of
 ,assyria1 ',he will          not come  
to this city1 nor shoot an arrow there1 
neither will          he come before it 
with shield1 nor cast up a mound against
 it4  #jcg3jcd ,by the way that he came1
 by the same he shall return1           
and he shall not come to this city1'    
says ,yahweh4  #jcg3jce ',for ,i will   
defend this city to save it1 for my own 
sake1          and for my servant       
,david's sake4'  #jcg3jcf ,the angel of 
,yahweh went out and struck one hundred 
and          eighty-five thousand men in
 the camp of the ,assyrians4            

,when men arose early in the morning1   
behold1 these were          all dead    
bodies4  #jcg3jcg ,so ,sennacherib king 
of ,assyria departed1 went away1        
returned to ,nineveh1 and stayed there4 
#jcg3jch ,it happened1 as he was        
worshipping in the house of ,nisroch    
his god1 that ,adrammelech and ,sharezer
 his sons struck him          with the

 ,ararat4          ,esar ,haddon his son
 reigned in his place4  #jch3jja ,in    
those days was ,hezekiah sick and near  
death4          ,isaiah the prophet1 the
 son of ,amoz1 came to him1 and said to 
him1          ,thus says ,yahweh1 ',set 
your house in order1 for you will die1  
and not live4'  #jch3jjb ,then ,hezekiah
 turned his face to the wall and prayed 
to ,yahweh1  #jch3jjc and said1         
,remember now1 ,yahweh1 ,i beg you1 how 
,i have walked          before you in   
truth and with a perfect heart1 and have
 done          that which is good in    
your sight4  ,hezekiah wept bitterly4   

#jch3jjd ,then the word of ,yahweh came 
to ,isaiah1 saying1  #jch3jje ,go1 and  
tell ,hezekiah1 ',thus says ,yahweh1 the
 ,god of ,david          your father1 ,i
 have heard your prayer4  ,i have seen  
your tears4          ,behold1 ,i will   
add fifteen years to your life4

city4  #jch3jjg ,this shall be the sign 
to you from ,yahweh1 that ,yahweh will  
do this thing that he has spoken4       
#jch3jjh ,behold1 ,i will cause the     
shadow on the sundial1 which has gone   
down          on the sundial of ,ahaz   
with the sun1 to return backward ten    
steps4          ,so the sun returned ten
 steps on the sundial on which it       
had gone down4'  #jch3jji ,the writing  
of ,hezekiah king of ,judah1 when he had
 been sick1          and had recovered  
of his sickness4  #jch3jaj ,i said1 ,in 
the middle of my life ,i go into the    
gates of ,sheol4          ,i am deprived

 of the residue of my years4  #jch3jaa  
,i said1 ,i won't see ,yah1 ,yah in the 
land of the living4          ,i will see
 man no more with the inhabitants of the
 world4  #jch3jab ,my dwelling is       
removed1 and is carried away from me    
like a          shepherd's tent4  ,i    
have rolled up1 like a weaver1 my life4 
,he will cut me off from the loom4      
,from day even to night          you    
will make an end of me4  #jch3jac ,i    
waited patiently until morning4  ,he    
breaks all my bones like          a     
lion4  ,from day even to night you will 
make an end of me4  #jch3jad ,i         
chattered like a swallow or a crane4  ,i
 moaned like a dove4          ,my eyes  
weaken looking upward4  ,lord1 ,i am    
oppressed4          ,be my security4    
#jch3jae ,what will ,i say8  ,he has    
both spoken to me1 and himself has done 
it4          ,i will walk carefully all 
my years because of the anguish         
of my soul4  #jch3jaf ,lord1 men live by
 these things2 and my spirit finds life 

in all of them3  you restore me1 and    
cause me to live4  #jch3jag ,behold1 for
 peace ,i had great anguish1 but you    
have in love          for my soul       
delivered it from the pit of corruption2
          for you have cast all my sins 
behind your back4  #jch3jah ,for ,sheol 
can't praise you4  ,death can't         
celebrate you4          ,those who go   
down into the pit can't hope for your   
truth4  #jch3jai ,the living1 the       
living1 he shall praise you1 as ,i do   
this day4          ,the father shall    
make known your truth to the children4  
#jch3jbj ,yahweh will save me4          
,therefore we will sing my songs with   
stringed          instruments all the   
days of our life in the house of        
,yahweh4  #jch3jba ,now ,isaiah had     
said1 ,let them take a cake of figs1 and
 lay          it for a poultice on the  
boil1 and he shall recover4  #jch3jbb   
,hezekiah also had said1 ,what is the   
sign that ,i will go up          to the 
house of ,yahweh8  #jci3jja ,at that    

time1 ,merodach ,baladan the son of     
,baladan1          king of ,babylon1    
sent letters and a present to ,hezekiah2
          for he heard that he had been 
sick1 and had recovered4  #jci3jjb      
,hezekiah was pleased with them1 and    
showed them the house          of his   
precious things1 the silver1 and the    
gold1          the spices1 and the      
precious oil1 and all the house         
of his armor1 and all that was found in 
his treasures4          ,there was      
nothing in his house1 nor in all his    
dominion1          that ,hezekiah didn't
 show them4  #jci3jjc ,then ,isaiah the 
prophet came to king ,hezekiah1 and     
asked him1          ,what did these men 
say8  ,where did they come from to you8 
,hezekiah said1 ,they have come from a  
country far from me1          even from 
,babylon4  #jci3jjd ,then he asked1     
,what have they seen in your house8     
,hezekiah answered1 ,they have seen all 
that is in my house4          ,there is 
nothing among my treasures that ,i have 

not shown them4  #jci3jje ,then said    
,isaiah to ,hezekiah1 ,hear the word of 
,yahweh of ,armies3  #jci3jjf ',behold1 
the days are coming when all that is in 
your house1          and that which your
 fathers have stored up until this day1 
will be carried to ,babylon4  ,nothing  
will be left1' says ,yahweh4  #jci3jjg  
',they will take away your sons who will
 issue from you1          whom you shall
 father1 and they will be eunuchs in the
 king          of ,babylon's palace4'   
#jci3jjh ,then ,hezekiah said to        
,isaiah1 ,yahweh's word which you have  
spoken is good4  ,he said moreover1 ,for
 there will be peace          and truth 
in my days4  #jdj3jja ,comfort1 comfort 
my people1 says your ,god4  #jdj3jjb    
,speak comfortably to ,jerusalem2 and   
call out to her that her                
warfare is accomplished1 that her       
iniquity is pardoned1          that she 
has received of ,yahweh's hand double   
for all her sins4  #jdj3jjc ,the voice  
of one who calls out1 ,prepare the way  

of ,yahweh          in the wilderness6  
,make a level highway in the desert     
for our ,god4  #jdj3jjd ,every valley   
shall be exalted1 and every mountain and
 hill shall          be made low4  ,the 
uneven shall be made level1 and the     
rough          places a plain4  #jdj3jje
 ,the glory of ,yahweh shall be         
revealed1 and all flesh shall           
see it together2 for the mouth of       
,yahweh has spoken it4  #jdj3jjf ,the   
voice of one saying1 ,cry6  ,one said1  
,what shall ,i cry8          ,all flesh 
is like grass1 and all its glory is like
 the flower          of the field4      
#jdj3jjg ,the grass withers1 the flower 
fades1 because ,yahweh's breath         
blows on it4  ,surely the people are    
like grass4  #jdj3jjh ,the grass        
withers1 the flower fades2 but the word 
of our          ,god stands forever4    
#jdj3jji ,you who tell good news to

before him4  #jdj3jaa ,he will feed his 
flock like a shepherd4  ,he will gather 
the lambs in his arm1 and carry them in 
his bosom4          ,he will gently lead
 those who have their young4  #jdj3jab  
,who has measured the waters in the     
hollow of his hand1          and marked 
off the sky with his span1 and          
calculated the dust          of the     
earth in a measure1 and weighed the     
mountains in scales1          and the   
hills in a balance8  #jdj3jac ,who has  
directed the ,spirit of ,yahweh1 or has 
taught him          as his counselor8   
#jdj3jad ,who did he take counsel with1 
and who instructed him1          and    
taught him in the path of justice1 and  
taught him knowledge1          and      

showed him the way of understanding8    
#jdj3jae ,behold1 the nations are like a
 drop in a bucket1 and are              
regarded as a speck of dust on a

the islands like a very little thing4

it4  #jdj3jbj ,he who is too

,yahweh's servant8  #jdb3jbj ,you see   
many things1 but don't observe4  ,his

#jdb3jbb ,but this is a robbed and      
plundered people4  ,all of them

plunder1 and ,israel to the robbers8    
,didn't ,yahweh1 he against whom we have
 sinned8  ,for they          would not  
walk in his ways1 and they disobeyed his
 law4  #jdb3jbe ,therefore he poured the
 fierceness of his anger on him1        
and the strength of battle2 and it set  
him on fire all around1          but he 
didn't know2 and it burned him1 but he

 by the name of ,yahweh1 and make       
mention of the ,god          of ,israel1

your ,redeemer1 the ,holy ,one of

,god1 who teaches you to profit1 who    
leads you          by the way that you  
should go4  #jdh3jah ,oh that you had   
listened to my commandments6 then had   
your          peace been as a river1 and
 your righteousness as the waves        
of the sea3  #jdh3jai your seed also had
 been as the sand1 and the offspring of

the earth3  say you1 ,yahweh has        
redeemed          his servant ,jacob4   
#jdh3jba ,they didn't thirst when he led
 them through the deserts2          he  

caused the waters to flow out of the    
rock for them2          he split the    
rock also1 and the waters gushed out4   
#jdh3jbb ,there is no peace1 says       
,yahweh1 to the wicked4  #jdi3jja       
,listen1 islands1 to me2 and listen1 you
 peoples1 from far3          ,yahweh has
 called me from the womb2 from the      
bowels of my          mother has he made
 mention of my name3  #jdi3jjb and he   
has made my mouth like a sharp sword2 in
 the shadow          of his hand has he 
hid me3  and he has made me a polished  
shaft2          in his quiver has he    
kept me close3  #jdi3jjc and he said to 
me1 ,you are my servant2 ,israel1 in    
whom ,i          will be glorified4     
#jdi3jjd ,but ,i said1 ,i have labored  
in vain1 ,i have spent my strength      
for nothing and vanity2 yet surely the  
justice due to me          is with      
,yahweh1 and my recompense with my ,god4
  #jdi3jje ,now says ,yahweh who formed 
me from the womb to be his servant1     
to bring ,jacob again to him1 and that  

,israel be gathered to him          7for
 ,i am honorable in the eyes of ,yahweh1

 clothe you with them all as with an    
ornament1          and gird yourself    
with them1 like a bride4  #jdi3jai ,for1
 as for your waste and your desolate    
places1 and your land          that has 
been destroyed1 surely now shall you be 
too small          for the inhabitants1

for when he was but one ,i called him1  
and ,i blessed him1          and made   
him many4  #jea3jjc ,for ,yahweh has    
comforted ,zion2 he has comforted all

her wilderness like ,eden1          and 
her desert like the garden of ,yahweh2

,zion1 ,you are my people4  #jea3jag    
,awake1 awake1 stand up1 ,jerusalem1    
that have drunk at the hand          of 
,yahweh the cup of his wrath2 you have  
drunken the bowl          of the cup of 
staggering1 and drained it4  #jea3jah   
,there is none to guide her among all   
the sons whom she has          brought  
forth2 neither is there any who takes   
her by the hand          among all the  
sons who she has brought up4  #jea3jai  
,these two things have happened to you4 
,who will bemoan you8                   
,desolation and destruction1 and the    
famine and the sword2          how shall
 ,i comfort you8  #jea3jbj ,your sons   
have fainted1 they lie at the head of   

all the streets1          as an antelope
 in a net2 they are full of the wrath of
 ,yahweh1          the rebuke of your   
,god4  #jea3jba ,therefore hear now     
this1 you afflicted1 and drunken1       
but now with wine3  #jea3jbb ,thus says 
your ,lord ,yahweh1 and your ,god who   
pleads the cause          of his people1
 ,behold1 ,i have taken out of your hand
 the cup          of staggering1 even   
the bowl of the cup of my wrath2        
you shall no more drink it again3       
#jea3jbc and ,i will put it into the    
hand of those who afflict you1          
who have said to your soul1 ,bow down1  
that we may go over2          and you   
have laid your back as the ground1 and  
as the street1          to those who go 
over4  #jeb3jja ,awake1 awake1 put on   
your strength1 ,zion2 put on your       
beautiful          garments1 ,jerusalem1

shall          no more come into you the
 uncircumcised and the unclean4         
#jeb3jjb ,shake yourself from the dust2 

arise1 sit on your throne1 ,jerusalem3  
loose yourself from the bonds of your   
neck1 captive daughter          of      
,zion4  #jeb3jjc ,for thus says ,yahweh1
 ,you were sold for nothing2 and you    
shall          be redeemed without      
money4  #jeb3jjd ,for thus says the     
,lord ,yahweh1 ,my people went down at  
the first          into ,egypt to       
sojourn there3  and the ,assyrian has   
oppressed          them without cause4  
#jeb3jje ,now therefore1 what do ,i     
here1 says ,yahweh1 seeing that my      
people          is taken away for       
nothing8 those who rule over them do    
howl1          says ,yahweh1 and my name
 continually all the day is blasphemed4 
#jeb3jjf ,therefore my people shall know
 my name3  therefore they shall         
know in that day that ,i am he who does 
speak2 behold1 it is ,i4  #jeb3jjg ,how 
beautiful on the mountains are the feet 
of him who brings          good news1   
who publishes peace1 who brings good    
news of good1          who publishes    

salvation1 who says to ,zion1 ,your ,god
 reigns6  #jeb3jjh ,the voice of your   
watchmen6 they lift up the voice1       
together do they sing2 for they shall   
see eye to eye1          when ,yahweh   
returns to ,zion4  #jeb3jji ,break forth
 into joy1 sing together1 you waste     
places of ,jerusalem2          for      
,yahweh has comforted his people1 he has
 redeemed ,jerusalem4  #jeb3jaj ,yahweh 
has made bare his holy arm in the eyes  
of all the nations2          and all the
 ends of the earth have seen the        
salvation          of our ,god4         
#jeb3jaa ,depart you1 depart you1 go you
 out from there1 touch no unclean thing2
          go you out of the midst of    
her2 cleanse yourselves1          you   
who bear the vessels of ,yahweh4        
#jeb3jab ,for you shall not go out in   
haste1 neither shall you go by flight3  
for ,yahweh will go before you2 and the 
,god of ,israel will          be your   
rearward4  #jeb3jac ,behold1 my servant 
shall deal wisely1 he shall be exalted  

and lifted up1 and shall be very high4  
#jeb3jad ,like as many were astonished  
at you 7his visage was so marred        
more than any man1 and his form more    
than the sons of men71  #jeb3jae so     
shall he sprinkle many nations2 kings   
shall shut their mouths          at him3
  for that which had not been told them 
shall they see2          and that which 
they had not heard shall they           
understand4  #jec3jja ,who has believed 
our message8  ,to whom has the arm of   
,yahweh been revealed8  #jec3jjb ,for he
 grew up before him as a tender plant1  
and as a root          out of dry       
ground4  ,he has no form nor comeliness4
          ,when we see him1 there is no 
beauty that we should desire him4       
#jec3jjc ,he was despised1 and rejected 
by men2 a man of suffering1          and
 acquainted with disease4  ,he was      
despised as one from whom          men  
hide their face2 and we didn't respect  
him4  #jec3jjd ,surely he has borne our 
sickness1 and carried our suffering2    

yet we considered him plagued1 struck by
 ,god1 and afflicted4  #jec3jje ,but he 
was pierced for our transgressions4  ,he
 was crushed          for our           
iniquities4  ,the punishment that       
brought our peace          was on him2  
and by his wounds we are healed4        
#jec3jjf ,all we like sheep have gone   
astray4  ,everyone has turned to his    
own way2 and ,yahweh has laid on him the
 iniquity of us all4  #jec3jjg ,he was  
oppressed1 yet when he was afflicted he 
didn't open his mouth4          ,as a   
lamb that is led to the slaughter1 and  
as a sheep that          before its     
shearers is mute1 so he didn't open his 
mouth4  #jec3jjh ,he was taken away by  
oppression and judgment2 and as for     
his generation1 who considered that he  
was cut off out          of the land of 
the living and stricken for the         
disobedience          of my people8     
#jec3jji ,they made his grave with the  
wicked1 and with a rich man          in 
his death2 although he had done no      

violence1 neither was          any      
deceit in his mouth4  #jec3jaj ,yet it  
pleased ,yahweh to bruise him4  ,he has 
caused him to suffer4          ,when you
 make his soul an offering for sin1 he  
shall see his seed4          ,he shall  
prolong his days1 and the pleasure of   
,yahweh shall          prosper in his   
hand4  #jec3jaa ,after the suffering of 
his soul1 he will see the               
light,so read the ,dead ,sea ,scrolls   
and ,septuagint4          ,masoretic    
,text omits the light4 and be satisfied4
          ,my righteous servant will    
justify many by the knowledge of        
himself2          and he will bear their
 iniquities4  #jec3jab ,therefore will  
,i divide him a portion with the great1 
and he shall divide the spoil with the  
strong2 because he poured          out  
his soul to death1 and was numbered with
 the transgressors2          yet he bore
 the sin of many1 and made intercession 
for the transgressors4  #jed3jja ,sing1 
barren1 you who didn't bear2 break forth

 into singing1          and cry aloud1  
you who did not travail with child3     
for more are the children of the        
desolate than the children          of  
the married wife1 says ,yahweh4         
#jed3jjb ,enlarge the place of your     
tent1 and let them stretch              
forth the curtains of your habitations2 
don't spare3          lengthen your     
cords1 and strengthen your stakes4      
#jed3jjc ,for you shall spread aboard on
 the right hand and on the left2        
and your seed shall possess the nations1
 and make the desolate          cities  
to be inhabited4  #jed3jjd ,don't be    
afraid2 for you shall not be ashamed3   
neither be confounded2 for you shall not
 be disappointed3          for you shall
 forget the shame of your youth2 and the
 reproach          of your widowhood    
shall you remember no more4  #jed3jje   
,for your ,maker is your husband2       
,yahweh of ,armies is his name3         
and the ,holy ,one of ,israel is your   
,redeemer2 the ,god of the whole        

earth shall he be called4  #jed3jjf ,for
 ,yahweh has called you as a wife       
forsaken and grieved          in spirit1
 even a wife of youth1 when she is cast 
off1          says your ,god4  #jed3jjg 
,for a small moment have ,i forsaken    
you2 but with great mercies             
will ,i gather you4  #jed3jjh ,in       
overflowing wrath ,i hid my face from   
you for a moment2          but with     
everlasting loving kindness will ,i have
 mercy on you1          says ,yahweh    
your ,redeemer4  #jed3jji ,for this is  
as the waters of ,noah to me2 for as ,i 
have sworn          that the waters of  
,noah shall no more go over the earth1  
so have ,i sworn that ,i will not be    
angry with you1          nor rebuke you4
  #jed3jaj ,for the mountains may       
depart1 and the hills be removed2       
but my loving kindness shall not depart 
from you1          neither shall my     
covenant of peace be removed1 says      
,yahweh          who has mercy on you4  
#jed3jaa ,you afflicted1 tossed with    

storms1 and not comforted1 behold1      
,i will set your stones in beautiful    
colors1 and lay your                    
foundations with sapphires4  #jed3jab ,i
 will make your pinnacles of rubies1 and
 your gates of          sparkling       
jewels1 and all your walls of precious  
stones4  #jed3jac ,all your children    
shall be taught of ,yahweh2 and great   
shall          be the peace of your     
children4  #jed3jad ,in righteousness   
shall you be established3  you shall be 
far          from oppression1 for you   
shall not be afraid2 and from terror1   
for it shall not come near you4         
#jed3jae ,behold1 they may gather       
together1 but not by me3  whoever shall 
gather together against you shall fall  
because of you4  #jed3jaf ,behold1 ,i   
have created the smith who blows the    
fire of coals1          and brings forth
 a weapon for his work2 and ,i have     
created          the waster to destroy4 
#jed3jag ,no weapon that is formed      
against you shall prosper2 and every    

tongue that shall rise against you in   
judgment you shall condemn4             
,this is the heritage of the servants of
 ,yahweh1 and their                     
righteousness which is of me1 says      
,yahweh4  #jee3jja ,ho1 everyone who    
thirsts1 come you to the waters1 and he 
who has          no money2 come you1    
buy1 and eat2 yes1 come1 buy wine and   
milk          without money and without 
price4  #jee3jjb ,why do you spend money
 for that which is not bread8 and your  
labor for that which doesn't satisfy8   
listen diligently to me1          and   
eat you that which is good1 and let your
 soul delight          itself in        
fatness4  #jee3jjc ,turn your ear1 and  
come to me2 hear1 and your soul shall   
live3          and ,i will make an      
everlasting covenant with you1 even the 
sure          mercies of ,david4        
#jee3jjd ,behold1 ,i have given him for 
a witness to the peoples1          a    
leader and commander to the peoples4    
#jee3jje ,behold1 you shall call a      

nation that you don't know2          and
 a nation that didn't know you shall run
 to you1          because of ,yahweh    
your ,god1 and for the ,holy ,one of    
,israel2          for he has glorified  
you4  #jee3jjf ,seek you ,yahweh while  
he may be found2 call you on him while  
he is near3  #jee3jjg let the wicked    
forsake his way1 and the unrighteous man
 his thoughts2          and let him     
return to ,yahweh1 and he will have     
mercy on him2          and to our ,god1 
for he will abundantly pardon4  #jee3jjh
 ,for my thoughts are not your thoughts1
 neither are your ways          my ways1
 says ,yahweh4  #jee3jji ,for as the    
heavens are higher than the earth1 so   
are my ways          higher than your   
ways1 and my thoughts than your         
thoughts4  #jee3jaj ,for as the rain    
comes down and the snow from the sky1   
and doesn't return there1 but waters the
 earth1 and makes it          bring     
forth and bud1 and gives seed to the    
sower and bread          to the eater2  

#jee3jaa so shall my word be that goes  
forth out of my mouth3          it shall
 not return to me void1 but it shall    
accomplish          that which ,i       
please1 and it shall prosper in the     
thing ,i sent          it to do4        
#jee3jab ,for you shall go out with joy1
 and be led forth with peace3           
the mountains and the hills shall break 
forth before you          into singing2 
and all the trees of the fields shall   
clap their hands4  #jee3jac ,instead of 
the thorn shall come up the fir tree2   
and instead of the brier shall come up  
the myrtle tree3          and it shall  
be to ,yahweh for a name1 for an        
everlasting sign          that shall not
 be cut off4  #jef3jja ,thus says       
,yahweh1 ,keep you justice1 and do      
righteousness2          for my salvation
 is near to come1 and my righteousness  
to be revealed4  #jef3jjb ,blessed is   
the man who does this1 and the son of   
man who holds          it fast2 who     
keeps the ,sabbath from profaning it1   

and keeps          his hand from doing  
any evil4  #jef3jjc ,neither let the    
foreigner1 who has joined himself to    
,yahweh1          speak1 saying1 ,yahweh
 will surely separate me from his       
people2          neither let the eunuch 
say1 ,behold1 ,i am a dry tree4         
#jef3jjd ,for thus says ,yahweh of the  
eunuchs who keep my ,sabbaths1          
and choose the things that please me1   
and hold fast my covenant3  #jef3jje ,to
 them will ,i give in my house and      
within my walls a memorial          and 
a name better than of sons and of

 everlasting name1 that shall not be cut
 off4  #jef3jjf ,also the foreigners who
 join themselves to ,yahweh1 to minister

of ,yahweh1 to be his servants1         
everyone who keeps the ,sabbath from    
profaning it1 and holds          fast my
 covenant2  #jef3jjg even them will ,i  
bring to my holy mountain1 and make them
          joyful in my house of prayer3 

their burnt offerings and their         
sacrifices shall be accepted on my      
altar2 for my house shall          be   
called a house of prayer for all        
peoples4  #jef3jjh ,the ,lord ,yahweh1  
who gathers the outcasts of ,israel1    
says1 ,yet will          ,i gather      
others to him1 besides his own who are  
gathered4  #jef3jji ,all you animals of 
the field1 come to devour1 yes1 all you 
animals in the forest4  #jef3jaj ,his   
watchmen are blind1 they are all without

down1          loving to slumber4       
#jef3jaa ,yes1 the dogs are greedy1 they
 can never have enough2          and    
these are shepherds who can't           
understand3          they have all      
turned to their own way1 each one to his
 gain1          from every quarter4     
#jef3jab ,come you1 say they1 ,i will   
get wine1 and we will fill              
ourselves with strong drink2 and        
tomorrow shall be as this day1          

a day great beyond measure4  #jeg3jja   
,the righteous perishes1 and no man lays
 it to heart2 and merciful          men 
are taken away1 none considering that   
the righteous          is taken away    
from the evil to come4  #jeg3jjb ,he    
enters into peace2 they rest in their   
beds1 each one who walks          in his
 uprightness4  #jeg3jjc ,but draw near  
here1 you sons of the sorceress1 the    
seed          of the adulterer and the  
prostitute4  #jeg3jjd ,against whom do  
you sport yourselves8 against whom make 
you          a wide mouth1 and put out  
the tongue8  ,aren't you children       
of disobedience1 a seed of falsehood1   
#jeg3jje you who inflame yourselves     
among the oaks1 under every green tree2 
who kill the children in the valleys1   
under the clefts          of the rocks8 
#jeg3jjf ,among the smooth stones of the
 valley is your portion2          they1 
they are your lot2 even to them have you
 poured          a drink offering1 you  
have offered an offering4               

,shall ,i be appeased for these things8 
#jeg3jjg ,on a high and lofty mountain  
have you set your bed2          there   
also you went up to offer sacrifice4    
#jeg3jjh ,behind the doors and the posts
 have you set up your memorial3         
for you have uncovered yourself to      
another than me1          and are gone  
up2 you have enlarged your bed1 and made
 you          a covenant with them3  you
 loved their bed where you saw it4      
#jeg3jji ,you went to the king with oil1
 and did increase your perfumes1        
and did send your ambassadors far off1  
and did debase yourself          even to
 ,sheol4  #jeg3jaj ,you were wearied    
with the length of your way2 yet you    
didn't say1          ,it is in vain3    
you found a reviving of your strength2  
therefore you weren't faint4  #jeg3jaa  
,of whom have you been afraid and in    
fear1 that you lie1          and have   
not remembered me1 nor laid it to your  
heart8          ,haven't ,i held my     
peace even of long time1 and you don't  

fear me8  #jeg3jab ,i will declare your 
righteousness2 and as for your works1   
they shall not profit you4  #jeg3jac    
,when you cry1 let those who you have   
gathered deliver you2          but the  
wind shall take them1 a breath shall    
carry them all away3          but he who
 takes refuge in me shall possess the   
land1          and shall inherit my holy
 mountain4  #jeg3jad ,he will say1 ,cast
 up1 cast up1 prepare the way1 take up  
the stumbling-block out of the way of my
 people4  #jeg3jae ,for thus says the   
high and lofty ,one who inhabits        
eternity1          whose name is ,holy3 
,i dwell in the high and holy place1    
with him also who is of a contrite and  
humble spirit1          to revive the   
spirit of the humble1 and to revive the 
heart          of the contrite4         
#jeg3jaf ,for ,i will not contend       
forever1 neither will ,i be always      
angry2          for the spirit would    
faint before me1 and the souls who      
,i have made4  #jeg3jag ,for the        

iniquity of his covetousness was ,i     
angry1 and struck him2          ,i hid  
my face and was angry2 and he went on   
backsliding          in the way of his  
heart4  #jeg3jah ,i have seen his ways1 
and will heal him3  ,i will lead him    
also1          and restore comforts to  
him and to his mourners4  #jeg3jai ,i   
create the fruit of the lips3  ,peace1  
peace1 to him who is far          off   
and to him who is near1 says ,yahweh2   
and ,i will heal him4  #jeg3jbj ,but the
 wicked are like the troubled sea2 for  
it can't rest1          and its waters  
cast up mire and dirt4  #jeg3jba ,there 
is no peace1 says my ,god1 to the       
wicked4  #jeh3jja ,cry aloud1 don't     
spare1 lift up your voice like a        
trumpet1          and declare to my     
people their disobedience1 and to the   
house          of ,jacob their sins4    
#jeh3jjb ,yet they seek me daily1 and   
delight to know my ways3          as a  
nation that did righteousness1 and      
didn't forsake          the ordinance of

 their ,god1 they ask of me righteous   
judgments2          they delight to draw
 near to ,god4  #jeh3jjc ,why have we   
fasted1 say they1 and you don't see8 why
          have we afflicted our soul1   
and you take no knowledge8              
,behold1 in the day of your fast you    
find your own pleasure1          and    
exact all your labors4  #jeh3jjd        
,behold1 you fast for strife and        
contention1 and to strike          with 
the fist of wickedness3  you don't fast 
this day so as          to make your    
voice to be heard on high4  #jeh3jje ,is
 such the fast that ,i have chosen8 the 
day for a man          to afflict his   
soul8  ,is it to bow down his head as a 
rush1          and to spread sackcloth  
and ashes under him8 will you call      
this a fast1 and an acceptable day to   
,yahweh8  #jeh3jjf ,isn't this the fast 
that ,i have chosen3  to loose the bonds
          of wickedness1 to undo the    
bands of the yoke1 and to let           
the oppressed go free1 and that you     

break every yoke8  #jeh3jjg ,isn't it to
 deal your bread to the hungry1 and that
 you bring          the poor who are    
cast out to your house8 when you see the
 naked1          that you cover him2 and
 that you not hide yourself from        
your own flesh8  #jeh3jjh ,then shall   
your light break forth as the morning1  
and your healing          shall spring  
forth speedily2 and your righteousness  
shall go          before you2 the glory 
of ,yahweh shall be your rear guard4    
#jeh3jji ,then shall you call1 and      
,yahweh will answer2 you shall cry1     
and he will say1 ,here ,i am4  ,if you  
take away from          the midst of you
 the yoke1 the putting forth of the     
finger1          and speaking wickedly2 
#jeh3jaj and if you draw out your soul  
to the hungry1 and satisfy          the 
afflicted soul3  then shall your light  
rise in darkness1          and your     
obscurity be as the noonday2  #jeh3jaa  
and ,yahweh will guide you continually1 
and satisfy your soul          in dry   

places1 and make strong your bones2 and 
you shall          be like a watered    
garden1 and like a spring of water1     
whose waters don't fail4  #jeh3jab      
,those who shall be of you shall build  
the old waste places2          you shall
 raise up the foundations of many       
generations2          and you shall be  
called ,the repairer of the breach1     
,the restorer of paths to dwell in4     
#jeh3jac ,if you turn away your foot    
from the ,sabbath1 from doing your      
pleasure on my holy day2 and call the   
,sabbath a delight1          and the    
holy of ,yahweh honorable2 and shall    
honor it1          not doing your own   
ways1 nor finding your own pleasure1    
nor speaking your own words3  #jeh3jad  
then shall you delight yourself in      
,yahweh2 and ,i will          make you  
to ride on the high places of the earth2
          and ,i will feed you with the 
heritage of ,jacob your father3         
for the mouth of ,yahweh has spoken it4 
#jei3jja ,behold1 ,yahweh's hand is not 

shortened1 that it can't save2          
neither his ear heavy1 that it can't    
hear3  #jei3jjb but your iniquities have
 separated between you and your ,god1   
and your sins have hidden his face from 
you1 so that he          will not hear4 
#jei3jjc ,for your hands are defiled    
with blood1 and your fingers with       
iniquity2          your lips have spoken
 lies1 your tongue mutters wickedness4  
#jei3jjd ,none sues in righteousness1   
and none pleads in truth3          they 
trust in vanity1 and speak lies2 they   
conceive mischief1          and bring   
forth iniquity4  #jei3jje ,they hatch   
adders' eggs1 and weave the spider's    
web3          he who eats of their eggs 
dies2 and that which is crushed         
breaks out into a viper4  #jei3jjf      
,their webs shall not become garments1  
neither shall they cover                
themselves with their works3  their     
works are works of iniquity1            
and the act of violence is in their     
hands4  #jei3jjg ,their feet run to     

evil1 and they make haste to shed       
innocent blood3          their thoughts 
are thoughts of iniquity2 desolation and
          destruction are in their      
paths4  #jei3jjh ,the way of peace they 
don't know2 and there is no justice     
in their goings3  they have made them   
crooked paths2          whoever goes    
therein does not know peace4  #jei3jji  
,therefore is justice far from us1      
neither does righteousness              
overtake us3  we look for light1 but1   
behold1 darkness2          for          
brightness1 but we walk in obscurity4   
#jei3jaj ,we grope for the wall like the
 blind2 yes1 we grope as those          
who have no eyes3  we stumble at noonday
 as in the twilight2          among     
those who are lusty we are as dead men4 
#jei3jaa ,we roar all like bears1 and   
moan sore like doves3          we look  
for justice1 but there is none2 for     
salvation1          but it is far off   
from us4  #jei3jab ,for our             
transgressions are multiplied before    

you1 and our sins          testify      
against us2 for our transgressions are  
with us1          and as for our        
iniquities1 we know them3  #jei3jac     
transgressing and denying ,yahweh1 and  
turning away from following          our
 ,god1 speaking oppression and revolt1  
conceiving and uttering          from   
the heart words of falsehood4  #jei3jad 
,justice is turned away backward1 and   
righteousness stands afar off2          
for truth is fallen in the street1 and  
uprightness can't enter4  #jei3jae ,yes1
 truth is lacking2 and he who departs   
from evil makes himself          a prey4
  ,yahweh saw it1 and it displeased him 
that there          was no justice4     
#jei3jaf ,he saw that there was no man1 
and wondered that there was          no 
intercessor3  therefore his own arm     
brought salvation to him2          and  
his righteousness1 it upheld him4       
#jei3jag ,he put on righteousness as a  
breastplate1 and a helmet of salvation  
on his head2 and he put on garments of  

vengeance for clothing1          and was
 clad with zeal as a mantle4  #jei3jah  
,according to their deeds1 accordingly  
he will repay1          wrath to his    
adversaries1 recompense to his enemies2 
to the islands he will repay recompense4
  #jei3jai ,so shall they fear the name 
of ,yahweh from the west1          and  
his glory from the rising of the sun2   
for he will come          as a rushing  
stream1 which the breath of ,yahweh     
drives4  #jei3jbj ,a ,redeemer will come
 to ,zion1 and to those who turn from   
disobedience in ,jacob1 says ,yahweh4   
#jei3jba ,as for me1 this is my covenant
 with them1 says ,yahweh3          my   
,spirit who is on you1 and my words     
which ,i have put in your mouth1        
shall not depart out of your mouth1 nor 
out of the mouth          of your seed1 
nor out of the mouth of your seed's     
seed1          says ,yahweh1 from       
henceforth and forever4  #jfj3jja       
,arise1 shine2 for your light is come1  
and the glory of ,yahweh          is    

risen on you4  #jfj3jjb ,for1 behold1   
darkness shall cover the earth1 and     
gross darkness          the peoples2 but
 ,yahweh will arise on you1 and his     
glory          shall be seen on you4    
#jfj3jjc ,nations shall come to your    
light1 and kings to the brightness      
of your rising4  #jfj3jjd ,lift up your 
eyes round about1 and see3  they all    
gather          themselves together1    
they come to you2 your sons shall come  
from far1 and your daughters shall be   
carried in the arms4  #jfj3jje ,then you
 shall see and be radiant1 and your     
heart shall thrill          and be      
enlarged2 because the abundance of the  
sea shall be          turned to you1 the
 wealth of the nations shall come to    
you4  #jfj3jjf ,the multitude of camels 
shall cover you1 the dromedaries        
of ,midian and ,ephah2 all they from    
,sheba shall come2          they shall  
bring gold and frankincense1 and shall  
proclaim          the praises of        
,yahweh4  #jfj3jjg ,all the flocks of

you1          the rams of ,nebaioth

up with acceptance on my altar2 and ,i  
will glorify the house          of my   
glory4  #jfj3jjh ,who are these who fly 
as a cloud1 and as the doves to their   
windows8  #jfj3jji ,surely the islands  
shall wait for me1 and the ships of     
,tarshish first1 to bring your sons from
 far1 their silver          and their   
gold with them1 for the name of ,yahweh 
your ,god1          and for the ,holy   
,one of ,israel1 because he has         
glorified you4  #jfj3jaj ,foreigners    
shall build up your walls1 and their    
kings shall          minister to you3   
for in my wrath ,i struck you1 but in my
 favor          have ,i had mercy on    
you4  #jfj3jaa ,your gates also shall be
 open continually2 they shall not be    
shut day nor night2 that men may bring  
to you the wealth          of the       
nations1 and their kings led captive4   
#jfj3jab ,for that nation and kingdom   

that will not serve you shall perish2   
yes1 those nations shall be utterly     
wasted4  #jfj3jac ,the glory of ,lebanon
 shall come to you1 the fir tree1 the   
pine1          and the box tree         
together1 to beautify the place of my   
sanctuary2          and ,i will make the
 place of my feet glorious4  #jfj3jad   
,the sons of those who afflicted you    
shall come bending to you2          and 
all those who despised you shall bow    
themselves down at          the soles of

bind          up the broken-hearted1 to 
proclaim liberty to the captives1

comfort all who mourn2  #jfa3jjc to     
appoint to those who mourn in ,zion1 to 
give to them          a garland for     
ashes1 the oil of joy for mourning1 the 
garment          of praise for the      
spirit of heaviness2 that they may be   
called trees of righteousness1 the      
planting of ,yahweh1          that he

with the garments of salvation1 he has  
covered me with the robe of             
righteousness1 as a bridegroom          
decks himself with a garland1 and as a  
bride adorns herself          with her  
jewels4  #jfa3jaa ,for as the earth     
brings forth its bud1 and as the garden 
causes the things that are sown in it to
 spring forth2          so the ,lord    
,yahweh will cause righteousness and

all the nations4  #jfb3jja ,for ,zion's 
sake will ,i not hold my peace1 and for

never hold their peace day nor night3   
you who call on ,yahweh1          take  
no rest1  #jfb3jjg and give him no rest1
 until he establishes1 and until he     
makes          ,jerusalem a praise in   
the earth4  #jfb3jjh ,yahweh has sworn  
by his right hand1 and by the arm of his
 strength1          ,surely ,i will no  

more give your grain to be food for your
 enemies2          and foreigners shall 
not drink your new wine1 for which      
you have labored3  #jfb3jji but those   
who have garnered it shall eat it1 and  
praise ,yahweh2          and those who  
have gathered it shall drink it in the  
courts          of my sanctuary4

his reward is with him1 and his         
recompense before him4  #jfb3jab ,they  
shall call them ,the holy people1 ,the  
redeemed of ,yahweh3          and you   
shall be called ,sought out1 ,a city not
 forsaken4  #jfc3jja ,who is this who   
comes from ,edom1 with dyed garments    
from          ,bozrah8 this who is      

glorious in his clothing1 marching in   
the greatness of his strength8  ,i who  
speak in righteousness1          mighty 
to save4  #jfc3jjb ,why are you red in  
your clothing1 and your garments like   
him          who treads in the wine vat8
  #jfc3jjc ,i have trodden the winepress
 alone2 and of the peoples there was    
no man with me3  yes1 ,i trod them in my
 anger1 and trampled them          in my
 wrath2 and their lifeblood is sprinkled
 on my garments1          and ,i have   
stained all my clothing4  #jfc3jjd ,for 
the day of vengeance was in my heart1   
and the year of my          redeemed is 
come4  #jfc3jje ,i looked1 and there was
 none to help2 and ,i wondered that     
there          was none to uphold3      
therefore my own arm brought salvation  
to me2          and my wrath1 it upheld 
me4  #jfc3jjf ,i trod down the peoples  
in my anger1 and made them drunk        
in my wrath1 and ,i poured out their    
lifeblood on the earth4  #jfc3jjg ,i    
will make mention of the loving         

kindnesses of ,yahweh1          and the 
praises of ,yahweh1 according to all    
that ,yahweh has          bestowed on   
us1 and the great goodness toward the   
house of ,israel1          which he has 
bestowed on them according to his       
mercies1          and according to the  
multitude of his loving kindnesses4     
#jfc3jjh ,for he said1 ,surely1 they are
 my people1 children who will           
not deal falsely3  so he was their      
,savior4  #jfc3jji ,in all their        
affliction he was afflicted1 and the    
angel of his          presence saved    
them3  in his love and in his pity he   
redeemed them2          and he bore     
them1 and carried them all the days of  
old4  #jfc3jaj ,but they rebelled1 and  
grieved his holy ,spirit3               
therefore he was turned to be their     
enemy1 and himself          fought      
against them4  #jfc3jaa ,then he        
remembered the days of old1 ,moses and  
his people1          saying1 ,where is  
he who brought them up out of the sea   

with the shepherds of his flock8 where  
is he who put his holy          ,spirit 
in the midst of them8  #jfc3jab who     
caused his glorious arm to go at the    
right hand of ,moses8          who      
divided the waters before them1 to make 
himself          an everlasting name8   
#jfc3jac who led them through the       
depths1 as a horse in the wilderness1   
so that they didn't stumble8  #jfc3jad  
,as the livestock that go down into the 
valley1 the ,spirit          of ,yahweh 
caused them to rest2 so did you lead    
your people1          to make yourself a
 glorious name4  #jfc3jae ,look down    
from heaven1 and see from the habitation
 of your          holiness and of your  
glory3  where are your zeal and your    
mighty acts8 the yearning of your heart 
and your compassion          is         
restrained toward me4  #jfc3jaf ,for you
 are our ,father1 though ,abraham       
doesn't know us1          and ,israel   
does not acknowledge us3  you1 ,yahweh1 
are our ,father2          our ,redeemer 

from everlasting is your name4  #jfc3jag
 ,o ,yahweh1 why do you make us to err  
from your ways1          and harden our 
heart from your fear8  ,return for your 
servants'          sake1 the tribes of  
your inheritance4  #jfc3jah ,your holy  
people possessed it but a little while3 
our adversaries have trodden down your  
sanctuary4  #jfc3jai ,we are become as  
they over whom you never bear rule1     
as those who were not called by your    
name4  #jfd3jja ,oh that you would tear 
the heavens1 that you would come down1  
that the mountains might quake at your  
presence1  #jfd3jjb as when fire kindles
 the brushwood1 and the fire causes     
the waters to boil2 to make your name   
known to your adversaries1          that
 the nations may tremble at your        
presence6  #jfd3jjc ,when you did       
terrible things which we didn't look    
for1          you came down1 the        
mountains quaked at your presence4      
#jfd3jjd ,for from of old men have not  
heard1 nor perceived by the ear1        

neither has the eye seen a ,god besides 
you1 who works for him          who     
waits for him4  #jfd3jje ,you meet him  
who rejoices and works righteousness1   
those who remember          you in your 
ways3  behold1 you were angry1 and we   
sinned3          in them have we been of
 long time2 and shall we be saved8      
#jfd3jjf ,for we have all become as one 
who is unclean1 and all our             
righteousness is as a polluted garment3 
and we all fade as a leaf2          and 
our iniquities1 like the wind1 take us  
away4  #jfd3jjg ,there is none who calls
 on your name1 who stirs up himself     
to take hold of you2 for you have hid   
your face from us1          and have    
consumed us by means of our iniquities4 
#jfd3jjh ,but now1 ,yahweh1 you are our 
,father2 we are the clay1 and you       
our potter2 and we all are the work of  
your hand4  #jfd3jji ,don't be furious1 
,yahweh1 neither remember iniquity      
forever3          see1 look1 we beg you1
 we are all your people4  #jfd3jaj ,your

 holy cities are become a wilderness1   
,zion is become          a wilderness1  
,jerusalem a desolation4  #jfd3jaa ,our 
holy and our beautiful house1 where our 
fathers praised you1          is burned 
with fire2 and all our pleasant places  
are laid waste4  #jfd3jab ,will you     
refrain yourself for these things1      
,yahweh8 will you          hold your    
peace1 and afflict us very sore8        
#jfe3jja ,i am inquired of by those who 
didn't ask2 ,i am found by those        
who didn't seek me3  ,i said1 ,see me1  
see me1 to a nation          that was   
not called by my name4  #jfe3jjb ,i have
 spread out my hands all the day to a   
rebellious people1          who walk in 
a way that is not good1 after their own 
thoughts2  #jfe3jjc a people who provoke
 me to my face continually1 sacrificing 
in gardens1 and burning incense on      
bricks2  #jfe3jjd who sit among the     
graves1 and lodge in the secret places2 
who eat pig's flesh1 and broth of       
abominable things is          in their  

vessels2  #jfe3jje who say1 ,stand by   
yourself1 don't come near to me1        
for ,i am holier than you4  ,these are a
 smoke in my nose1          a fire that 
burns all the day4  #jfe3jjf ,behold1 it
 is written before me3  ,i will not keep
 silence1          but will recompense1 
yes1 ,i will recompense into their      
bosom1  #jfe3jjg your own iniquities1   
and the iniquities of your fathers      
together1          says ,yahweh1 who    
have burned incense on the mountains1   
and blasphemed me on the hills2         
therefore will ,i first measure         
their work into their bosom4  #jfe3jjh  
,thus says ,yahweh1 ,as the new wine is 
found in the cluster1          and one  
says1 ,don't destroy it1 for a blessing 
is in it3          so will ,i do for my 
servants' sake1 that ,i may not         
destroy them all4  #jfe3jji ,i will     
bring forth a seed out of ,jacob1 and   
out of ,judah          an inheritor of  
my mountains2 and my chosen shall       
inherit it1          and my servants    

shall dwell there4  #jfe3jaj ,sharon    
shall be a fold of flocks1 and the      
valley of ,achor a place          for   
herds to lie down in1 for my people who 
have sought me4  #jfe3jaa ,but you who  
forsake ,yahweh1 who forget my holy     
mountain1          who prepare a table  
for ,fortune1 and who fill up mixed     
wine to ,destiny2  #jfe3jab ,i will     
destine you to the sword1 and you shall 
all bow down          to the slaughter2 
because when ,i called1 you did not     
answer2          when ,i spoke1 you did 
not hear2 but you did that which was    
evil in my eyes1 and chose that in which
 ,i didn't delight4  #jfe3jac ,therefore
 thus says the ,lord ,yahweh1 ,behold1  
my servants shall eat1          but you 
shall be hungry2 behold1 my servants    
shall drink1          but you shall be  
thirsty2 behold1 my servants shall      
rejoice1          but you shall be      
disappointed2  #jfe3jad behold1 my      
servants shall sing for joy of heart1   
but you shall          cry for sorrow of

 heart1 and shall wail for vexation of  
spirit4  #jfe3jae ,you shall leave your 
name for a curse to my chosen2          
and the ,lord ,yahweh will kill you2 and
 he will call his servants          by  
another name3  #jfe3jaf so that he who  
blesses himself in the earth shall bless
 himself          in the ,god of truth2 
and he who swears in the earth shall    
swear          by the ,god of truth2    
because the former troubles are         
forgotten1          and because they are
 hid from my eyes4  #jfe3jag ,for1      
behold1 ,i create new heavens and a new 
earth2 and the former          things   
shall not be remembered1 nor come into  
mind4  #jfe3jah ,but be you glad and    
rejoice forever in that which ,i create2
          for1 behold1 ,i create        
,jerusalem a rejoicing1 and her people a
 joy4  #jfe3jai ,i will rejoice in      
,jerusalem1 and joy in my people2       
and there shall be heard in her no more 
the voice of weeping          and the   
voice of crying4  #jfe3jbj ,there shall 

be no more there an infant of days1 nor 
an old          man who has not filled  
his days2 for the child shall die       
one hundred years old1 and the sinner   
being one hundred years          old    
shall be accursed4  #jfe3jba ,they shall
 build houses1 and inhabit them2 and    
they shall          plant vineyards1 and
 eat the fruit of them4  #jfe3jbb ,they 
shall not build1 and another inhabit2   
they shall not plant1          and      
another eat3  for as the days of a tree 
shall be the days          of my people1
 and my chosen shall long enjoy the work
          of their hands4  #jfe3jbc     
,they shall not labor in vain1 nor bring
 forth for calamity2          for they  
are the seed of the blessed of ,yahweh1 
and their          offspring with them4 
#jfe3jbd ,it shall happen that1 before  
they call1 ,i will answer2          and 
while they are yet speaking1 ,i will    
hear4  #jfe3jbe ,the wolf and the lamb  
shall feed together1 and the lion shall 
eat straw like the ox2 and dust shall be

 the serpent's food4          ,they     
shall not hurt nor destroy in all my    
holy mountain1          says ,yahweh4   
#jff3jja ,thus says ,yahweh1 heaven is  
my throne1 and the earth is my          
footstool3          what manner of house
 will you build to me8 and what place   
shall be my rest8  #jff3jjb ,for all    
these things has my hand made1 and so   
all these things          came to be1   
says ,yahweh3  but to this man will ,i  
look1          even to him who is poor  
and of a contrite spirit1 and who       
trembles at my word4  #jff3jjc ,he who  
kills an ox is as he who kills a man2 he
 who sacrifices          a lamb1 as he  
who breaks a dog's neck2 he who offers  
an offering1          as he who offers  
pig's blood2 he who burns frankincense1 
as he who blesses an idol4  ,yes1 they  
have chosen their own ways1          and
 their soul delights in their           
abominations3  #jff3jjd ,i also will    
choose their delusions1 and will bring  
their fears          on them2 because   

when ,i called1 none did answer2 when ,i
 spoke1          they did not hear3  but
 they did that which was evil in my     
eyes1          and chose that in which  
,i didn't delight4  #jff3jje ,hear the  
word of ,yahweh1 you who tremble at his 
word3          ,your brothers who hate  
you1 who cast you out for my name's     
sake1          have said1 ,let ,yahweh  
be glorified1 that we may see your joy2 
but it is those who shall be            
disappointed4  #jff3jjf ,a voice of     
tumult from the city1 a voice from the  
temple1          a voice of ,yahweh that
 renders recompense to his enemies4     
#jff3jjg ,before she travailed1 she     
brought forth2 before her pain came1    
she was delivered of a boy4  #jff3jjh   
,who has heard such a thing8 who has    
seen such things8          ,shall a land
 be born in one day8 shall a nation be  
brought          forth at once8 for as  
soon as ,zion travailed1 she brought    
forth her children4  #jff3jji ,shall ,i 
bring to the birth1 and not cause to    

bring forth8          says ,yahweh3     
shall ,i who cause to bring forth shut  
the          womb8 says your ,god4      
#jff3jaj ,rejoice you with ,jerusalem1  
and be glad for her1 all you who        
love her3  rejoice for joy with her1 all
 you who mourn over her2  #jff3jaa that 
you may suck and be satisfied with the  
breasts of          her consolations2   
that you may milk out1 and be delighted 
with the abundance of her glory4        
#jff3jab ,for thus says ,yahweh1        
,behold1 ,i will extend peace to her    
like a river1          and the glory of 
the nations like an overflowing stream3 
and you shall suck of it2 you shall be  
borne on the side1          and shall be
 dandled on the knees4  #jff3jac ,as one
 whom his mother comforts1 so will ,i   
comfort you2          and you shall be  
comforted in ,jerusalem4  #jff3jad ,you 
shall see it1 and your heart shall      
rejoice1          and your bones shall  
flourish like the tender grass3         
and the hand of ,yahweh shall be known  

toward his servants2          and he    
will have indignation against his       
enemies4  #jff3jae ,for1 behold1 ,yahweh
 will come with fire1 and his chariots  
shall          be like the whirlwind2 to
 render his anger with fierceness1      
and his rebuke with flames of fire4     
#jff3jaf ,for by fire will ,yahweh      
execute judgment1 and by his sword1     
on all flesh2 and the slain of ,yahweh  
shall be many4  #jff3jag ,those who     
sanctify themselves and purify          
themselves to go          to the        
gardens1 behind one in the midst1 eating
 pig's flesh1          and the          
abomination1 and the mouse1 they shall  
come to an          end together1 says  
,yahweh4  #jff3jah ,for ,i know their   
works and their thoughts3  the time     
comes1          that ,i will gather all 
nations and languages2 and they shall   
come1          and shall see my glory4  
#jff3jai ,i will set a sign among them1 
and ,i will send such as escape         
of them to the nations1 to ,tarshish1   

,pul1 and ,lud1 who draw          the   
bow1 to ,tubal and ,javan1 to the       
islands afar off1          who have not 
heard my fame1 neither have seen my     
glory2          and they shall declare  
my glory among the nations4  #jff3jbj   
,they shall bring all your brothers out 
of all the nations for an               
offering to ,yahweh1 on horses1 and in  
chariots1 and in litters1          and  
on mules1 and on dromedaries1 to my holy
 mountain ,jerusalem1          says     
,yahweh1 as the children of ,israel     
bring their offering          in a clean
 vessel into the house of ,yahweh4      
#jff3jba ,of them also will ,i take for 
priests and for ,levites1 says ,yahweh4 
#jff3jbb ,for as the new heavens and the
 new earth1 which ,i will make1         
shall remain before me1 says ,yahweh1 so
 shall your seed          and your name 
remain4  #jff3jbc ,it shall happen1 that
 from one new moon to another1 and from 
one ,sabbath to another1 shall all flesh
 come to worship          before me1    

says ,yahweh4  #jff3jbd ,they shall go  
forth1 and look on the dead bodies of   
the men          who have transgressed  
against me3  for their worm shall not   
die1          neither shall their fire  
be quenched2 and they shall be          
an abhorring to all flesh4
