,,the ,,prophecy ,,of ,,isaias    ,this 
inspired writer is called by the ,holy  
,ghost1 the great prophet1              
7,ecclesiasticus3#dh4be17 from the      
greatness of his prophetic spirit1 by   
which he hath foretold so long before1  

and in so clear a manner1 the  coming of
 ,christ1 the mysteries of our          
redemption1 the calling of the          
,gentiles1 and the glorious             
establishment1 and perpetual flourishing
 of  the church of ,christ3 insomuch    
that he may seem to have been rather an 
evangelist than a prophet4 ,his very    
name is not without mystery2 for        
,isaias in ,hebrew signifies the        
salvation of the ,lord1 or ,jesus is the
  ,lord4 ,he was1 according to the      
tradition of the ,hebrews1 of the blood 
royal of the kings of ,juda3 and after a
 most holy life1 ended his days  by a   
glorious martyrdom2 being sawed in two1 
at the command of his  wicked son in    
law1 ,king ,manasses1 for reproving his 
evil ways4      ,isaias ,chapter #a     
,the prophet complains of the sins of   
,juda and ,jerusalem1 and exhorts  them 
to a sincere conversion4    #a3a4 ,the  
vision of ,isaias the ,son of ,amos1    
which he saw concerning ,juda  and      
,jerusalem in the days of ,ozias1       

,joathan1 ,achaz1 and ,ezechias1 kings  
of ,juda4    #a3b4 ,hear1 ,o ye heavens1
 and give ear1 ,o earth1 for the ,lord  
hath  spoken4 ,i have brought up        
children1 and exalted them3 but they    
have  despised me4    #a3c4 ,the ox     
knoweth his owner1 and the ass his      
master's crib3 but ,israel  hath not    
known me1 and my people hath not        
understood4    #a3d4 ,woe to the sinful 
nation1 a people laden with iniquity1 a 
wicked  seed1 ungracious children3 they 
have forsaken the ,lord1 they have      
blasphemed the ,holy ,one of ,israel1   
they are gone away backwards4    #a3e4  
,for what shall ,i strike you any more1 
you that increase  transgression8 the   
whole head is sick1 and the whole heart 
is sad4    #a3f4 ,from the sole of the  
foot unto the top of the head1 there is 
no  soundness therein3 wounds and       
bruises and swelling sores3 they are not
  bound up1 nor dressed1 nor fomented   
with oil4    #a3g4 ,your land is        
desolate1 your cities are burnt with    

fire3 your  country strangers devour    
before your face1 and it shall be       
desolate as  when wasted by enemies4    
#a3h4 ,and the daughter of ,sion shall  
be left as a covert in a vineyard1  and 
as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers1 and
 as a city that is laid  waste4    #a3i4
 ,except the ,lord of hosts had left us 
seed1 we had been as ,sodom1  and we    
should have been like to ,gomorrha4     
#a3aj4 ,hear the word of the ,lord1 ye  
rulers of ,sodom1 give ear to the law   
of our ,god1 ye people of ,gomorrha4    
#a3aa4 ,to what purpose do you offer me 
the multitude of your victims1  saith   
the ,lord8 ,i am full1 ,i desire not    
holocausts of rams1 and fat of          
fatlings1 and blood of calves1 and      
lambs1 and buck goats4    #a3ab4 ,when  
you came to appear before me1 who       
required these things at  your hands1   
that you should walk in my courts8      
#a3ac4 ,offer sacrifice no more in vain3
 incense is an abomination to me4  ,the 
new moons1 and the sabbaths and other   

festivals ,i will not abide1  your      
assemblies are wicked4    #a3ad4 ,my    
soul hateth your new moons1 and your    
solemnities3 they are  become           
troublesome to me1 ,i am weary of       
bearing them4    #a3ae4 ,and when you   
stretch forth your hands1 ,i will turn  
away my eyes  from you3 and when you    
multiply prayer1 ,i will not hear3 for  
your hands  are full of blood4    #a3af4
 ,wash yourselves1 be clean1 take away  
the evil of your devices from  my eyes1 
cease to do perversely1    #a3ag4 ,learn
 to do well3 seek judgment1 relieve the 
oppressed1 judge for  the fatherless1   
defend the widow4    #a3ah4 ,and then   
come1 and accuse me1 saith the ,lord3 if
 your sins be as  scarlet1 they shall be
 made as white as snow3 and if they be  
red as  crimson1 they shall be white as 
wool4    #a3ai4 ,if you be willing1 and 
will hearken to me1 you shall eat the   
good  things of the land4    #a3bj4 ,but
 if you will not1 and will provoke me to
 wrath3 the sword shall  devour you     

because the mouth of the ,lord hath     
spoken it4    #a3ba4 ,how is the        
faithful city1 that was full of         
judgment1 become a  harlot8 justice     
dwelt in it1 but now murderers4         
#a3bb4 ,thy silver is turned into dross3
 thy wine is mingled with water4        
#a3bc4 ,thy princes are faithless1      
companions of thieves3 they all love    
bribes1 they run after rewards4 ,they   
judge not for the fatherless3 and  the  
widow's cause cometh not in to them4    
#a3bd4 ,therefore saith the ,lord the   
,god of hosts1 the mighty one of        
,israel3 ,ah6 ,i will comfort myself    
over my adversaries3 and ,i will be     
revenged of my enemies4    #a3be4 ,and  
,i will turn my hand to thee1 and ,i    
will clean purge away thy  dross1 and ,i
 will take away all thy tin4    #a3bf4  
,and ,i will restore thy judges as they 
were before1 and thy  counsellors as of 
old4 ,after this thou shalt be called   
the city of the  just1 a faithful city4 
#a3bg4 ,sion shall be redeemed in       

judgment1 and they shall bring her back 
in justice4    #a3bh4 ,and he shall     
destroy the wicked1 and the sinners     
together3 and  they that have forsaken  
the ,lord1 shall be consumed4    #a3bi4 
,for they shall be confounded for the   
idols1 to which they have  sacrificed3  
and you shall be ashamed of the gardens 
which you have  chosen4    #a3cj4 ,when 
you shall be as an oak with the leaves  
falling off1 and as a  garden without   
water4    #a3ca4 ,and your strength     
shall be as the ashes of tow1 and your  
work as a  spark3 and both shall burn   
together1 and there shall be none to    
quench  it4    ,isaias ,chapter #b      
,all nations shall flow to the church of
 ,christ4 ,the ,jews shall be  rejected 
for their sins4 ,idolatry shall be      
destroyed4    #b3a4 ,the word that      
,isaias the son of ,amos saw1 concerning
 ,juda and  ,jerusalem4    #b3b4 ,and in
 the last days the mountain of the house
 of the ,lord shall be  prepared on the 
top of mountains1 and it shall be       

exalted above the  hills1 and all       
nations shall flow unto it4    ,the last
 days444 ,the whole time of the new law1
 from the coming of  ,christ till the   
end of the world1 is called in the      
scripture the last  days2 because no    
other age or time shall come after it1  
but only  eternity4-,ibid4 ,on the top  
of mountains1 etc444 ,this shews the    
perpetual  visibility of the church of  
,christ3 for a mountain  upon the top of
  mountains cannot be hid4    #b3c4 ,and
 many people shall go1 and say3 ,come   
and let us go up to the  mountain of the
 ,lord1 and to the house of the ,god of 
,jacob1 and he will  teach us his ways1 
and we will walk in his paths3 for the  
law shall come  forth from ,sion1 and   
the word of the ,lord from ,jerusalem4  
#b3d4 ,and he shall judge the ,gentiles1
 and rebuke many people3 and they  shall
 turn their swords into ploughshares1   
and their spears into  sickles3 nation  
shall not lift up sword against nation1 
neither shall  they be exercised any    

more to war4    #b3e4 ,o house of       
,jacob1 come ye1 and let us walk in the 
light of the  ,lord4    #b3f4 ,for thou 
hast cast off thy people1 the house of  
,jacob3 because they  are filled as in  
times past1 and have had soothsayers as 
the  ,philistines1 and have adhered to  
strange children4    #b3g4 ,their land  
is filled with silver and gold3 and     
there is no end of  their treasures4    
#b3h4 ,and their land is filled with    
horses3 and their chariots are          
innumerable4 ,their land also is full of
 idols3 they have adored the work  of   
their own hands1 which their own fingers
 have made4    #b3i4 ,and man hath bowed
 himself down1 and man hath been        
debased3  therefore forgive them not4   
#b3aj4 ,enter thou into the rock1 and   
hide thee in the pit from the face  of  
the fear of the ,lord1 and from the     
glory of his majesty4    #b3aa4 ,the    
lofty eyes of man are humbled1 and the  
haughtiness of men  shall be made to    
stoop3 and the ,lord alone shall be     

exalted in that day4    #b3ab4 ,because 
the day of the ,lord of hosts shall be  
upon every one that  is proud and       
highminded1 and upon every one that is  
arrogant1 and he  shall be humbled4     
#b3ac4 ,and upon all the tall and lofty 
cedars of ,libanus1 and upon all  the   
oaks of ,basan4    #b3ad4 ,and upon all 
the high mountains and upon all the     
elevated hills4    #b3ae4 ,and upon     
every high tower1 and every fenced wall4
    #b3af4 ,and upon all the ships of   
,tharsis1 and upon all that is fair to  
behold4    #b3ag4 ,and the loftiness of 
men shall be bowed down1 and the        
haughtiness  of men shall be humbled1   
and the ,lord alone shall be exalted in 
that  day4    #b3ah4 ,and idols shall be
 utterly destroyed4    ,idols shall be  
utterly destroyed444 or utterly pass    
away4 ,this was  verified by the        
establishment of ,christianity4 ,and by 
this and other  texts of the like       
nature1 the wild system of some modern  
sectaries is  abundantly confuted1 who  

charge the whole ,christian church with 
worshipping idols1 for many ages4       
#b3ai4 ,and they shall go into the holes
 of rocks1 and into the caves of  the   
earth from the face of the fear of the  
,lord1 and from the glory of  his       
majesty1 when he shall rise up to strike
 the earth4    #b3bj4 ,in that day a man
 shall cast away his idols of silver1   
and his  idols of gold1 which he had    
made for himself to adore1 moles and    
bats4    #b3ba4 ,and he shall go into   
the clefts of rocks1 and into the holes 
of  stones from the face of the fear of 
the ,lord1 and from the glory of his    
majesty1 when he shall rise up to strike
 the earth4    #b3bb4 ,cease ye         
therefore from the man1 whose breath is 
in his nostrils1  for he is reputed     
high4    ,isaias ,chapter #c    ,the    
confusion and other evils that shall    
come upon the ,jews for their  sins4    
,the pride of their women shall be      
punished4    #c3a4 ,for behold the      
sovereign ,lord of hosts shall take away

 from  ,jerusalem1 and from ,juda the   
valiant and the strong1 the whole       
strength  of bread1 and the whole       
strength of water4    #c3b4 ,the strong 
man1 and the man of war1 the judge1 and 
the prophet and  the cunning man1 and   
the ancient4    #c3c4 ,the captain over 
fifty1 and the honourable in            
countenance1 and the  counsellor1 and   
the architect1 and the skilful in       
eloquent speech4    #c3d4 ,and ,i will  
give children to be their princes1 and  
the effeminate  shall rule over them4   
#c3e4 ,and the people shall rush one    
upon another1 and every man against  his
 neighbour3 the child shall make a      
tumult against the ancient1 and  the    
base against the honourable4    #c3f4   
,for a man shall take hold of his       
brother1 one of the house of his        
father1 saying3 ,thou hast a garment1 be
 thou our ruler1 and let this  ruin be  
under thy hand4    #c3g4 ,in that day he
 shall answer1 saying3 ,i am no healer1 
and in my  house there is no bread1 nor 

clothing3 make me not ruler of the      
people4    #c3h4 ,for ,jerusalem is     
ruined1 and ,juda is fallen3 because    
their tongue1  and their devices are    
against the ,lord1 to provoke the eyes  
of his  majesty4    #c3i4 ,the shew of  
their countenance hath answered them3   
and they have  proclaimed abroad their  
sin as ,sodom1 and they have not hid it3
 woe to  their souls1 for evils are     
rendered to them4    #c3aj4 ,say to the 
just man that it is well1 for he shall  
eat the fruit of  his doings4    #c3aa4 
,woe to the wicked unto evil3 for the   
reward of his hands shall be  given him4
    #c3ab4 ,as for my people1 their     
oppressors have stripped them1 and women
  have ruled over them4 ,o my people1   
they that call thee blessed1 the same   
deceive thee1 and destroy the way of thy
 steps4    #c3ac4 ,the ,lord standeth up
 to judge1 and he standeth to judge the 
people4    #c3ad4 ,the ,lord will enter 
into judgment with the ancients of his  
people1  and its princes3 for you have  

devoured the vineyard1 and the spoil of 
the poor is in your house4    #c3ae4    
,why do you consume my people1 and grind
 the faces of the poor8  saith the ,lord
 the ,god of hosts4    #c3af4 ,and the  
,lord said3 ,because the daughters of   
,sion are haughty1 and  have walked with
 stretched out necks1 and wanton glances
 of their eyes1  and made a noise as    
they walked with their feet and moved in
 a set pace3    #c3ag4 ,the ,lord will  
make bald the crown of the head of the  
daughters of  ,sion1 and the ,lord will 
discover their hair4    #c3ah4 ,in that 
day the ,lord will take away the        
ornaments of shoes1 and  little moons1  
#c3ai4 ,and chains and necklaces1 and   
bracelets1 and bonnets1    #c3bj4 ,and  
bodkins1 and ornaments of the legs1 and 
tablets1 and sweet  balls1 and earrings1
    #c3ba4 ,and rings1 and jewels       
hanging on the forehead1    #c3bb4 ,and 
changes of apparel1 and short cloaks1   
and fine linen1 and  crisping pins1     
#c3bc4 ,and lookingglasses1 and lawns1  

and headbands1 and fine veils4    #c3bd4
 ,and instead of a sweet smell there    
shall be stench1 and instead of  a      
girdle1 a cord1 and instead of curled   
hair1 baldness1 and instead of a        
stomacher1 haircloth4    #c3be4 ,thy    
fairest men also shall fall by the      
sword1 and thy valiant ones  in battle4 
#c3bf4 ,and her gates shall lament and  
mourn1 and she shall sit desolate  on   
the ground4    ,isaias ,chapter #d      
,after an extremity of evils that shall 
fall upon the ,jews1 a remnant  shall be
 comforted by ,christ4    #d3a4 ,and in 
that day seven women shall take hold of 
one man1 saying3 ,we  will eat our own  
bread1 and wear our own apparel3 only   
let us be called  by thy name1 take away
 our reproach4    #d3b4 ,in that day the
 bud of the ,lord shall be in           
magnificence and glory1  and the fruit  
of the earth shall be high1 and a great 
joy to them that  shall have escaped of 
,israel4    ,the bud of the ,lord444    
,that is1 ,christ4    #d3c4 ,and it     

shall come to pass1 that every one that 
shall be left in  ,sion1 and that shall 
remain in ,jerusalem1 shall be called   
holy1 every  one that is written in life
 in ,jerusalem4    #d3d4 ,if the ,lord  
shall wash away the filth of the        
daughters of ,sion1 and  shall wash away
 the blood of ,jerusalem out of the     
midst thereof1 by the  spirit of        
judgment1 and by the spirit of burning4 
#d3e4 ,and the ,lord will create upon   
every place of mount ,sion1 and where   
he is called upon1 a cloud by day1 and a
 smoke and the brightness of a  flaming 
fire in the night3 for over all the     
glory shall be a protection4    #d3f4   
,and there shall be a tabernacle for a  
shade in the daytime from the  heat1 and
 for a security and covert from the     
whirlwind1 and from rain4    ,isaias    
,chapter #e    ,the reprobation of the  
,jews is foreshewn under the parable of 
a  vineyard4 ,a woe is pronounced       
against sinners3 the army of ,god shall 
send against them4    #e3a4 ,i will sing

 to my beloved the canticle of my cousin
 concerning his  vineyard4 ,my beloved  
had a vineyard on a hill in a fruitful  
place4    ,my cousin444 ,so the prophet 
calls ,christ1 as being of his family   
and  kindred1 by descending from the    
house of ,david4 ,ibid4 ,on a hill1     
etc444  ,literally1 in the horn1 the son
 of oil4    #e3b4 ,and he fenced it in1 
and picked the stones out of it1 and    
planted  it with the choicest vines1 and
 built a tower in the midst thereof1 and
  set up a winepress therein3 and he    
looked that it should bring forth       
grapes1 and it brought forth wild       
grapes4    #e3c4 ,and now1 ,o ye        
inhabitants of ,jerusalem1 and ye men of
 ,juda1 judge  between me and my        
vineyard4    #e3d4 ,what is there that  
,i ought to do more to my vineyard1 that
 ,i have  not done to it8 was it that ,i
 looked that it should bring forth      
grapes1  and it hath brought forth wild 
grapes8    #e3e4 ,and now ,i will shew  
you what ,i will do to my vineyard4 ,i  

will take  away the hedge thereof1 and  
it shall be wasted3 ,i will break down  
the  wall thereof1 and it shall be      
trodden down4    #e3f4 ,and ,i will make
 it desolate3 it shall not be pruned1   
and it shall  not be digged3 but briers 
and thorns shall come up3 and ,i will   
command  the clouds to rain no rain upon
 it4    #e3g4 ,for the vineyard of the  
,lord of hosts is the house of ,israel3 
and  the man of ,juda1 his pleasant     
plant3 and ,i looked that he should do  
judgment1 and behold iniquity3 and do   
justice1 and behold a cry4    #e3h4 ,woe
 to you that join house to house and lay
 field to field1 even to  the end of the
 place3 shall you alone dwell in the    
midst of the earth8    #e3i4 ,these     
things are in my ears1 saith the ,lord  
of hosts3 ,unless many  great and fair  
houses shall become desolate1 without an
 inhabitant4    #e3aj4 ,for ten acres of
 vineyard shall yield one little        
measure1 and  thirty bushels of seed    
shall yield three bushels4    #e3aa4    

,woe to you that rise up early in the   
morning to follow  drunkenness1 and to  
drink in the evening1 to be inflamed    
with wine4    #e3ab4 ,the harp1 and the 
lyre1 and1 the timbrel and the pipe1 and
 wine  are in your feasts3 and the work 
of the ,lord you regard not1 nor do you 
consider the works of his hands4        
#e3ac4 ,therefore is my people led away 
captive1 because they had not           
knowledge1 and their nobles have        
perished with famine1 and their         
multitude were dried up with thirst4    
#e3ad4 ,therefore hath hell enlarged her
 soul1 and opened her mouth  without any
 bounds1 and their strong ones1 and     
their people1 and their  high and       
glorious ones shall go down into it4    
#e3ae4 ,and man shall be brought down1  
and man shall be humbled1 and the  eyes 
of the lofty shall be brought low4      
#e3af4 ,and the ,lord of hosts shall be 
exalted in judgment1 and the holy  ,god 
shall be sanctified in justice4         
#e3ag4 ,and the lambs shall feed        

according to their order1 and strangers 
shall eat the deserts turned into       
fruitfulness4    #e3ah4 ,woe to you that
 draw iniquity with cords of vanity1 and
 sin as the  rope of a cart4    #e3ai4  
,that say3 ,let him make haste1 and let 
his work come quickly1 that  we may see 
it3 and let the counsel of the ,holy    
,one of ,israel come1 that  we may know 
it4    #e3bj4 ,woe to you that call evil
 good1 and good evil3 that put darkness 
for light1 and light for darkness3 that 
put bitter for sweet1 and sweet  for    
bitter4    #e3ba4 ,woe to you that are  
wise in your own eyes1 and prudent in   
your own  conceits4    #e3bb4 ,woe to   
you that are mighty to drink wine1 and  
stout men at  drunkenness4    #e3bc4    
,that justify the wicked for gifts1 and 
take away the justice of  the just from 
him4    #e3bd4 ,therefore as the tongue 
of the fire devoureth the stubble1 and  
the  heat of the flame consumeth it3 so 
shall their root be as ashes1 and  their
 bud shall go up as dust3 for they have 

cast away the law of the  ,lord of      
hosts1 and have blasphemed the word of  
the ,holy ,one of ,israel4    #e3be4    
,therefore is the wrath of the ,lord    
kindled against his people1 and  he hath
 stretched out his hand upon them1 and  
struck them3 and the  mountains were    
troubles1 and their carcasses became as 
dung in the midst  of the streets4 ,for 
after this his anger is not turned away1
 but his  hand is stretched out still4  
#e3bf4 ,and he will lift up a sign to

,ozias died1 ,i saw the ,lord sitting   
upon a  throne high and elevated3 and   
his train filled the temple4    #f3b4   
,upon it stood the seraphims3 the one   
had six wings1 and the other  had six   
wings3 with two they covered his face1  
and with two they covered  his feet1 and
 with two they flew4    #f3c4 ,and they 
cried one to another1 and said3 ,holy1  
holy1 holy1 the ,lord  ,god of hosts1   

all the earth is full of his glory1     
#f3d4 ,and the lintels of the doors were
 moved at the voice of him that  cried1 
and the house was filled with smoke4    
#f3e4 ,and ,i said3 ,woe is me1 because 
,i have held my peace2 because ,i am a  
man of unclean lips1 and ,i dwell in the
 midst of a people that hath  unclean   
lips1 and ,i have seen with my eyes the 
,king the ,lord of hosts4    #f3f4 ,and 
one of the seraphims flew to me1 and in 
his hand was a live  coal1 which he had 
taken with the tongs off the altar4     
#f3g4 ,and he touched my mouth1 and     
said3 ,behold this hath touched thy     
lips1 and thy iniquities shall be taken 
away1 and thy sin shall be  cleansed4   
#f3h4 ,and ,i heard the voice of the    
,lord1 saying3 ,whom shall ,i send8 and 
who shall go for us8 ,and ,i said3 ,lo1 
here am ,i1 send me4    #f3i4 ,and he   
said3 ,go1 and thou shalt say to this

converted and ,i heal them4    #f3aa4

he said3 ,until the cities be  wasted   
without inhabitant1 and the houses      
without man1 and the land  shall be left
 desolate4    #f3ab4 ,and the ,lord     
shall remove men far away1 and she shall
 be  multiplied that was left in the    
midst of the earth4    #f3ac4 ,and there
 shall be still a tithing therein1 and  
she shall turn1  and shall be made a

,the prophet assures king ,achaz that   
the two kings his enemies shall not     
take ,jerusalem4 ,a virgin shall        
conceive and bear a son4    #g3a4 ,and  
it came to pass in the days of ,achaz   
the son of ,joathan1 the  son of ,ozias1

 king of ,juda1 that ,rasin king of     
,syria and ,phacee the son  of ,romelia 
king of ,israel1 came up to ,jerusalem1 
to fight against it3  but they could not
 prevail over it4    #g3b4 ,and they    
told the house of ,david1 saying3 ,syria
 hath rested upon  ,ephraim1 and his    
heart was moved1 and the heart of his   
people1 as the  trees of the woods are  
moved with the wind4    #g3c4 ,and the  
,lord said to ,isaias3 ,go forth to meet
 ,achaz1 thou and ,jasub  thy son that  
is left1 to the conduit of the upper    
pool in the way of the  fuller's field4 
#g3d4 ,and thou shalt say to him3 ,see  
thou be quiet3 fear not1 and let not    
thy heart be afraid of the two tails of 
these firebrands1 smoking with  the     
wrath of the fury of ,rasin king of     
,syria1 and of the son of ,romelia4     
#g3e4 ,because ,syria hath taken counsel
 against thee1 unto the evil of         
,ephraim and the son of ,romelia1       
saying3    #g3f4 ,let us go up to ,juda1
 and rouse it up1 and draw it away to   

us1 and  make the son of ,tabeel king in
 the midst thereof4    #g3g4 ,thus saith
 the ,lord ,god3 ,it shall not stand1   
and this shall not be4    #g3h4 ,but the
 head of ,syria is ,damascus1 and the   
head of ,damascus is  ,rasin3 and within
 threescore and five years1 ,ephraim    
shall cease to be a  people3    #g3i4   
,and the head of ,ephraim is ,samaria1  
and the head of ,samaria is the  son of 
,romelia4 ,if you will not believe1 you 
shall not continue4    #g3aj4 ,and the  
,lord spoke again to ,achaz1 saying3    
#g3aa4 ,ask thee a sign of the ,lord thy
 ,god1 either unto the depth of  hell1  
or unto the height above4    #g3ab4 ,and
 ,achaz said3 ,i will not ask1 and ,i   
will not tempt the ,lord4    #g3ac4 ,and
 he said3 ,hear ye therefore1 ,o house  
of ,david3 ,is it a small  thing for you
 to be grievous to men1 that you are    
grievous to my ,god  also8    #g3ad4    
,therefore the ,lord himself shall give 
you a sign4 ,behold a virgin  shall     
conceive1 and bear a son and his name   

shall be called ,emmanuel4    #g3ae4 ,he
 shall eat butter and honey1 that he may
 know to refuse the  evil1 and to choose
 the good4    #g3af4 ,for before the    
child know to refuse the evil and to    
choose the  good1 the land which thou   
abhorrest shall be forsaken of the face 
of her  two kings4    #g3ag4 ,the ,lord 
shall bring upon thee1 and upon thy     
people1 and upon the  house of thy      
father1 days that have not come since   
the time of the  separation of ,ephraim 
from ,juda with the king of the         
,assyrians4    #g3ah4 ,and it shall come
 to pass in that day1 that the ,lord    
shall hiss  for the fly1 that is in the 
uttermost parts of the rivers of ,egypt1
 and  for the bee that is in the land of
 ,assyria4    #g3ai4 ,and they shall    
come1 and shall all of them rest in the 
torrents of  the valleys1 and in the    
holes of the rocks1 and upon all places 
set with  shrubs1 and in all hollow     
places4    #g3bj4 ,in that day the ,lord
 shall shave with a razor that is hired 

by  them that are beyond the river1 by  
the king of the ,assyrians1 the head    
and the hairs of the feet1 and the whole
 beard4    #g3ba4 ,and it shall come to 
pass in that day1 that a man shall      
nourish a  young cow1 and two sheep4    
#g3bb4 ,and for the abundance of milk he
 shall eat butter3 for butter and  honey
 shall every one eat that shall be left 
in the midst of the land4    #g3bc4 ,and
 it shall come to pass in that day1 that
 every place where  there were a        
thousand vines1 at a thousand pieces of 
silver1 shall  become thorns and briers4
    #g3bd4 ,with arrows and with bows   
they shall go in thither3 for briers and
  thorns shall be in all the land4      
#g3be4 ,and as for the hills that shall 
be raked with a rake1 the fear of       
thorns and briers shall not come        
thither1 but they shall be for the ox   
to feed on1 and the lesser cattle to    
tread upon4    ,isaias ,chapter #h      
,the name of a child that is to be born3
 many evils shall come upon the  ,jews  

for their sins4    #h3a4 ,and the ,lord 
said to me3 ,take thee a great book1 and
 write in it  with a man's pen4 ,take   
away the spoils with speed1 quickly take
 the  prey4    #h3b4 ,and ,i took unto  
me faithful witnesses1 ,urias the       
priest1 and  ,zacharias the son of      
,barachias4    #h3c4 ,and ,i went to the
 prophetess1 and she conceived1 and bore
 a son4  ,and the ,lord said to me3     
,call his name1 ,hasten to take away the
 spoils3  ,make hast to take away the   
prey4    #h3d4 ,for before the child    
know to call his father and his mother1 
the  strength of ,damascus1 and the     
spoils of ,samaria shall be taken away  
before the king of the ,assyrians4      
#h3e4 ,and the ,lord spoke to me again1 
saying3    #h3f4 ,forasmuch as this     
people hath cast away the waters of     
,siloe1 that  go with silence1 and hath 
rather taken ,rasin1 and the son of     
,romelia3    #h3g4 ,therefore behold the
 ,lord will bring upon them the waters  
of the  river strong and many1 the king 

of the ,assyrians1 and all his glory3   
and  he shall come up over all his      
channels1 and shall overflow all his    
banks4    #h3h4 ,and shall pass through 
,juda1 overflowing1 and going over shall
  reach even to the neck4 ,and the      
stretching out of his wings shall fill  
the breadth of thy1 land1 ,o ,emmanuel4

yourselves1 and be overcome1 gird       
yourselves1 and be overcome4    #h3aj4  
,take counsel together1 and it shall be 
defeated3 speak a word1 and  it shall   
not be done3 because ,god is with us4

,as he hath taught me1 with a strong    
arm1 that ,i should not walk in the way 
of this people1 saying3    #h3ab4 ,say  
ye not3 ,a conspiracy3 for all that this
 people speaketh1 is a  conspiracy3     
neither fear ye their fear1 nor be      
afraid4    #h3ac4 ,sanctify the ,lord of
 hosts himself3 and let him be your     

fear1 and  let him be your dread4       
#h3ad4 ,and he shall be a sanctification
 to you4 ,but for a stone of  stumbling1
 and for a rock of offence to the two   
houses of ,israel1 for a  snare and a   
ruin to the inhabitants of ,jerusalem4  
#h3ae4 ,and very many of them shall     
stumble and fall1 and shall be broken   
in pieces1 and shall be snared1 and     
taken4    #h3af4 ,bind up the testimony1

 that  see visions4    #bi3aa4 ,and the 
vision of all shall be unto you as the  
words of a book  that is sealed which   
when they shall deliver to one that is  
learned1  they shall say3 ,read this3   
and he shall answer3 ,i cannot1 for it  
is  sealed4    #bi3ab4 ,and the book    
shall be given to one that knoweth no   
letters1 and  it shall be said to him3  
,read3 and he shall answer3 ,i know no  
letters4    #bi3ac4 ,and the ,lord said3
 ,forasmuch as this people draw near me 
with  their mouth1 and with their lips  

glorify me1 but their heart is far from 
me1 and they have feared me with the    
commandment and doctrines of men3       
#bi3ad4 ,therefore behold ,i will       
proceed to cause an admiration in this  
people1 by a great and wonderful        
miracle3 for wisdom shall perish from   
their wise men1 and the understanding of
 their prudent men shall be hid4        
#bi3ae4 ,woe to you that are deep of    
heart1 to hide your counsel from the    
,lord3 and their works are in the dark1 
and they say3 ,who seeth us1 and  who   
knoweth us8    #bi3af4 ,this thought of 
yours is perverse3 as if the clay should
 think  against the potter1 and the work
 should say to the maker thereof3 ,thou 
madest me not3 or the thing framed      
should say to him that fashioned it3    
,thou understandest not4    #bi3ag4 ,is 
it not yet a very little while1 and     
,libanus shall be turned  into charmel1 
and charmel shall be esteemed as a      
forest8    ,charmel444 ,this word       
signifies a fruitful field4    #bi3ah4  

,and in that day the deaf shall hear the
 words of the book1 and  out of darkness
 and obscurity the eyes of the blind    
shall see4    #bi3ai4 ,and the meek     
shall increase their joy in the ,lord1  
and the poor  men shall rejoice in the  
,holy ,one of ,israel4    #bi3bj4 ,for  
he that did prevail hath failed1 the    
scorner is consumed1 and  they are all  
cut off that watched for iniquity3      
#bi3ba4 ,that made men sin by word1 and 
supplanted him that reproved them  in   
the gate1 and declined in vain from the 
just4    #bi3bb4 ,therefore thus saith  
the ,lord to the house of ,jacob1 he    
that  redeemed ,abraham3 ,jacob shall   
not now be confounded1 neither shall his
  countenance now be ashamed3    #bi3bc4
 ,but when he shall see his children1   
the work of my hands in the  midst of   
him sanctifying my name1 and they shall 
sanctify the ,holy ,one  of ,jacob1 and 
shall glorify the ,god of ,israel3      
#bi3bd4 ,and they that erred in spirit1 
shall know understanding1 and they  that

 murmured1 shall learn the law4         
,isaias ,chapter #cj    ,the people are 
blamed for their confidence in ,egypt4  
,god's mercies  towards his church4 ,the
 punishment of sinners4    #cj3a4 ,woe  
to you1 apostate children1 saith the    
,lord1 that you would take  counsel1 and
 not of me3 and would begin a web1 and  
not by my spirit1  that you might add   
sin upon sin3    #cj3b4 ,who walk to go 
down into ,egypt1 and have not asked at 
my mouth1  hoping for help in the       
strength of ,pharao1 and trusting in the
 shadow of  ,egypt4    #cj3c4 ,and the  
strength of ,pharao shall be to your    
confusion1 and the  confidence of the   
shadow of ,egypt to your shame4         
#cj3d4 ,for thy princes were in ,tanis1 
and thy messengers came even to  ,hanes4
    #cj3e4 ,they were all confounded at 
a people that could not profit them3    
they were no help1 nor to any profit1   
but to confusion and to reproach4       
#cj3f4 ,the burden of the beasts of the 
south4 ,in a land of trouble and        

distress1 from whence come the lioness1 
and the lion1 the viper and the  flying 
basilisk1 they carry their riches upon  
the shoulders of beasts1  and their     
treasures upon the bunches of camels to 
a people that shall  not be able to     
profit them4    #cj3g4 ,for ,egypt shall
 help in vain1 and to no purpose3       
therefore have ,i  cried concerning     
this3 ,it is pride only1 sit still4     
#cj3h4 ,now therefore go in and write   
for them upon box1 and note it          
diligently in a book1 and it shall be in
 the latter days for a testimony  for   
ever4    #cj3i4 ,for it is a people that
 provoketh to wrath1 and lying children 
that will not hear the law of ,god4     
#cj3aj4 ,who say to the seers3 ,see not3
 and to them that behold3 ,behold  not  
for us those things that are right3     
speak unto us pleasant things1  see     
errors for us4    #cj3aa4 ,take away    
from me the way1 turn away the path from
 me1 let the  ,holy ,one of ,israel     
cease from before us4    #cj3ab4        

,therefore thus saith the ,holy ,one of 
,israel3 ,because you have  rejected    
this word1 and have trusted in          
oppression and tumult1 and have  leaned 
upon it3    #cj3ac4 ,therefore shall    
this iniquity be to you as a breach that
 falleth1  and is found wanting in a    
high wall1 for the destruction thereof  
shall  come on a sudden1 when it is not 
looked for4    #cj3ad4 ,and it shall be 
broken small1 as the potter's vessel is 
broken  all to pieces with mighty       
breaking1 and there shall not a sherd be
 found  of the pieces thereof1 wherein a
 little fire may be carried from the    
hearth1 or a little water be drawn out  
of the pit4    #cj3ae4 ,for thus saith  
the ,lord ,god the ,holy ,one of        
,israel3 ,if you return  and be quiet1  
you shall be saved3 in silence and in   
hope shall your  strength be4 ,and you  
would not3    #cj3af4 ,but have said3   
,no1 but we will flee to horses3        
therefore shall  you flee4 ,and we will 
mount upon swift ones3 therefore shall  

they be  swifter that shall pursue after
 you4    #cj3ag4  ,a thousand men shall 
flee for fear of one3 and for fear of   
five  shall you flee1 till you be left  
as the mast of ship on the top of a     
mountain1 and as an ensign upon a hill4 
#cj3ah4 ,therefore the ,lord waiteth    
that he may have mercy on you3 and      
therefore shall he be exalted sparing   
you3 because the ,lord is the ,god  of  
judgment3 blessed are all they that wait
 for him4    #cj3ai4 ,for the people of 
,sion shall dwell in ,jerusalem3 weeping
 thou  shalt not weep1 he will surely   
have pity on thee3 at the voice of thy  
cry1 as soon as he shall hear1 he will  
answer thee4    #cj3bj4 ,and the ,lord  
will give you spare bread1 and short    
water3 and will  not cause thy teacher  
to flee away from thee any more1 and thy
 eyes  shall see thy teacher4    #cj3ba4
 ,and thy ears shall hear the word of   
one admonishing thee behind  thy back3  
,this is the way1 walk ye in it3 and go 
not aside neither to  the right hand1   

nor to the left4    #cj3bb4 ,and thou   
shalt defile the plates of thy graven   
things of silver1  and the garment of   
thy molten things of gold1 and shalt    
cast them away  as the uncleanness of a 
menstruous woman4  ,thou shalt say to   
it3 ,get  thee hence4    #cj3bc4 ,and   
rain shall be given to thy seed1        
wheresoever thou shalt sow  in the land3
 and the bread of the corn of the land  
shall be most  plentiful1 and fat4 ,the 
lamb in that day shall feed at large in 
thy  possession3    #cj3bd4 ,and thy    
oxen1 and the ass colts that till the   
ground1 shall eat  mingled provender as 
it was winnowed in the floor4    #cj3be4
 ,and there shall be upon every high    
mountain1 and upon every  elevated hill 
rivers of running waters in the day of  
the slaughter of  many1 when the tower  
shall fall4    #cj3bf4 ,and the light of
 the moon shall be as the light of the  
sun1 and  the light of the sun shall be 
sevenfold1 as the light of seven days3  
in  the day when the ,lord shall bind up

 the wound of his people1 and shall     
heal the stroke of their wound4         
#cj3bg4 ,behold the name of the ,lord   
cometh from afar1 his wrath burneth1    
and is heavy to bear3 his lips are      
filled with indignation1 and his  tongue
 as a devouring fire4    #cj3bh4 ,his   
breath as a torrent overflowing even to 
the midst of the  neck1 to destroy the  
nations unto nothing1 and the bridle of 
error that  was in the jaws of the      
people4    #cj3bi4 ,you shall have a    
song as in the night of the sanctified  
solemnity1 and joy of heart1 as where   
one goeth with a pipe1 to come  into the
 mountain of the ,lord1 to the ,mighty  
,one of ,israel4    #cj3cj4 ,and the    
,lord shall make the glory of his voice 
to be heard1 and  shall shew the terror 
of his arm1 in the threatening of wrath1
 and the  flame of devouring fire3 he   
shall crush to pieces with whirlwind1   
and  hailstones4    #cj3ca4 ,for at the 
voice of the ,lord the ,assyrian shall  
fear being struck  with the rod4        

#cj3cb4 ,and the passage of the rod     
shall be strongly grounded1 which the   
,lord shall make to rest upon him with  
timbrels and harps1 and in great        
battles he shall overthrow them4        
#cj3cc4 ,for ,topheth is prepared from  
yesterday1 prepared by the king1  deep1 
and wide4 ,the nourishment thereof is   
fire and much wood3 the  breath of the  
,lord as a torrent of brimstone kindling
 it4    ,topheth444 ,it is the same as  
,gehenna1 and is taken for hell4        
,isaias ,chapter #ca    ,the folly of   
trusting to ,egypt1 and forgetting ,god4
 ,he will fight for  his people against 
the ,assyrians4    #ca3a4 ,woe to them  
that go down to ,egypt for help1        
trusting in horses1  and putting their  
confidence in chariots1 because they are
 many3 and in  horsemen1 because they   
are very strong3 and have not trusted in
 the ,holy  ,one of ,israel1 and have   
not sought after the ,lord4    #ca3b4   
,but he that is the wise one hath       
brought evil1 and hath not  removed his 

words3 and he will rise up against the  
house of the wicked1  and against the   
aid of them that work iniquity4         
#ca3c4 ,egypt is man1 and not ,god3 and 
their horses1 flesh1 and not  spirit3   
and the ,lord shall put down his hand1  
and the helper shall fall1  and he that 
is helped shall fall1 and they shall all
 be confounded  together4    #ca3d4 ,for
 thus saith the ,lord to me3 ,like as   
the lion roareth1 and the  lions whelp  
upon his prey1 and when a multitude of  
shepherds shall come  against him1 he   
will not fear at their voice1 nor be    
afraid of their  multitude3 so shall the
 ,lord of hosts come down to fight upon 
mount  ,sion1 and upon the hill thereof4
    #ca3e4 ,as birds flying1 so will the
 ,lord of hosts protect ,jerusalem1     
protecting and delivering1 passing over 
and saving4    #ca3f4 ,return as you had
 deeply revolted1 ,o children of        
,israel4    #ca3g4 ,for in that day a   
man shall cast away his idols of silver1
 and his  idols of gold1 which your     

hands have made for you to sin4         
#ca3h4 ,and the ,assyrian shall fall by 
the sword not of a man1 and the  sword  
not of a man shall devour him1 and he   
shall flee not at the face  of the      
sword1 and his young men shall be       
tributaries4    #ca3i4 ,and his strength
 shall pass away with dread1 and his    
princes  fleeing shall be afraid3 the   
,lord hath said it1 whose fire is in    
,sion1  and his furnace in ,jerusalem4  
,isaias ,chapter #cb    ,the blessings  
of the reign of ,christ4 ,the desolation
 of the ,jews1 and  prosperity of the   
church of ,christ4    #cb3a4 ,behold a  
king shall reign in justice1 and princes
 shall rule in  judgment4    #cb3b4 ,and
 a man shall be as when one is hid from 
the wind1 and hideth  himself from a    
storm1 as rivers of waters in drought1  
and the shadow of  a rock that standeth 
out in a desert land4    #cb3c4 ,the    
eyes of them that see shall not be dim1 
and the ears of them  that hear shall   
hearken diligently4    #cb3d4 ,and the  

heart of fools shall understand         
knowledge1 and the tongue  of stammerers
 shall speak readily and plain4         
#cb3e4 ,the fool shall no more be called
 prince3 neither shall the  deceitful be
 called great3    #cb3f4 ,for the fool  
will speak foolish things1 and his heart
 will work  iniquity1 to practise       
hypocrisy1 and speak to the ,lord       
deceitfully1 and  to make empty the soul
 of the hungry1 and take away drink from
 the  thirsty4    #cb3g4 ,the vessels of
 the deceitful are most wicked3 for he  
hath framed  devices to destroy the     
meek1 with lying words1 when the poor   
man  speaketh judgment4    #cb3h4 ,but  
the prince will devise such things as   
are worthy of a prince1  and he shall   
stand above the rulers4    #cb3i4 ,rise 
up1 ye rich women1 and hear my voice3 ye
 confident daughters1  give ear to my

blasphemies4    #cf3a4 ,and it came to  
pass in the fourteenth year of king     
,ezechias1 that  ,sennacherib king of   
the ,assyrians came up against all the  
fenced cities  of ,juda1 and took them4 
#cf3b4 ,and the king of the ,assyrians  
sent ,rabsaces from ,lachis to          
,jerusalem1 to king ,ezechias with a    
great army1 and he stood by the  conduit
 of the upper pool in the way of the    
fuller's field4    #cf3c4 ,and there    
went out to him ,eliacim the son of     
,helcias1 who was over  the house1 and  
,sobna the scribe1 and ,joahe the son of
 ,asaph the  recorder4    #cf3d4 ,and   
,rabsaces said to them3 ,tell ,ezechias3
 ,thus saith the great  king1 the king  
of the ,assyrians3 ,what is this        
confidence wherein thou  trustest8      
#cf3e4 ,or with what counsel or strength

 dost thou prepare for war8  on  whom   
dost thou trust1 that thou art revolted 
from me8    #cf3f4 ,lo thou trustest    
upon this broken staff of a reed1 upon  
,egypt3  upon which if a man lean1 it   
will go into his hand1 and pierce it3 so
 is  ,pharao king of ,egypt to all that 
trust in him4    #cf3g4 ,but if thou    
wilt answer me3 ,we trust in the ,lord  
our ,god3 is it  not he whose high      
places and altars ,ezechias hath taken  
away1 and hath  said to ,juda and       
,jerusalem3 ,you shall worship before   
this altar8    #cf3h4 ,and now deliver  
thyself up to my lord the king of the   
,assyrians1  and ,i will give thee two  
thousand horses1 and thou wilt not be   
able on  thy part to find riders for    
them4    #cf3i4 ,and how wilt thou stand
 against the face of the judge of one   
place1 of the least of my master's      
servants8 ,but if thou trust in ,egypt1 
in chariots and in horsemen3    #cf3aj4 
,and am ,i now come up without the ,lord
 against this land to  destroy it8 ,the 

,lord said to me3 ,go up against this   
land1 and destroy  it4    #cf3aa4 ,and  
,eliacim1 and ,sobna1 and ,joahe said to
 ,rabsaces3 ,speak to thy  servants in  
the ,syrian tongue3 for we understand   
it3 speak not to us in  the ,jews'      
language in the hearing of the people1  
that are upon the wall4    #cf3ab4 ,and 
,rabsaces said to them3 ,hath my master 
sent me to thy master  and to thee1 to  
speak all these words2 and not rather to
 the men that  sit on the wall2 that    
they may eat their own dung1 and drink  
their urine  with you8    #cf3ac4 ,then 
,rabsaces stood1 and cried out with a   
loud voice in the ,jews'  language1 and 
said3 ,hear the words of the great king1
 the king of the  ,assyrians4    #cf3ad4

,ezechias deceive you1 for he shall  not
 be able to deliver you4    #cf3ae4 ,and

deliver us1 and this city shall not be  
given into the hands  of the king of the

 ,assyrians4    #cf3af4 ,do not hearken 
to ,ezechias3 for thus said the king of 
the  ,assyrians3 ,do with me that which 
is for your advantage1 and come out to  
me1 and eat ye every one of his vine1   
and every one of his fig tree1 and      
drink ye every one the water of his     
cistern1    #cf3ag4 ,till ,i come and   
take you away to a land1 like to your   
own1 a land  of corn and of wine1 a land
 of bread and vineyards4    #cf3ah4     
,neither let ,ezechias trouble you1     
saying3 ,the ,lord will deliver  us4    
,have any of the gods of the nations    
delivered their land out of the  hand of
 the king of the ,assyrians8    #cf3ai4 
,where is the god of ,emath and of      
,arphad8 where is the god of            
,sepharvaim8 have they delivered        
,samaria out of my hand8    #cf3bj4 ,who
 is there among all the gods of these   
lands1 that hath  delivered his country 
out of my hand1 that the ,lord may      
deliver  ,jerusalem out of my hand8     
#cf3ba4 ,and they held their peace1 and 

answered him not a word4  ,for the  king
 had commanded1 saying3 ,answer him not4
    #cf3bb4 ,and ,eliacim the son of    
,helcias1 that was over the house1 and  
,sobna the scribe1 and ,joahe the son of
 ,asaph the recorder1 went in to        
,ezechias with their garments rent1 and 
told him the words of ,rabsaces4        
,isaias ,chapter #cg    ,ezechias1 his  
mourning and prayer4 ,god's promise of  
protection4  ,the  ,assyrian army is    
destroyed4 ,sennacherib is slain4       
#cg3a4 ,and it came to pass1 when king  
,ezechias had heard it1 that he rent    
his garments and covered himself with   
sackcloth1 and went into the house  of  
the ,lord4    #cg3b4 ,and he sent       
,eliacim who was over the house1 and    
,sobna the scribe1  and the ancients of 
the priests covered with sackcloth1 to  
,isaias the  son of ,amos the prophet4  
#cg3c4 ,and they said to him3 ,thus     
saith ,ezechias3 ,this day is a day of  
tribulation1 and of rebuke1 and of      
blasphemy3 for the children are come  to

 the birth1 and there is not strength to
 bring forth4    #cg3d4 ,it may be the  
,lord thy ,god will hear the words of   
,rabsaces1 whom  the king of the        
,assyrians his master hath sent to      
blaspheme the living  ,god1 and to      
reproach with words which the ,lord thy 
,god hath heard3  wherefore lift up by  
prayer for the remnant that is left4    
#cg3e4 ,and the servants of ,ezechias   
came to ,isaias4    #cg3f4 ,and ,isaias 
said to them3 ,thus shall you say to    
your master3 ,thus  saith the ,lord3 ,be
 not afraid of the words that thou hast 
heard1 with  which the servants of the  
king of the ,assyrians have blasphemed  
me4    #cg3g4 ,behold1 ,i will send a   
spirit upon him1 and he shall hear a    
message1 and shall return to his own    
country1 and ,i will cause him to  fall 
by the sword in his own country4        
#cg3h4 ,and ,rabsaces returned1 and     
found the king of the ,assyrians        
besieging ,lobna4 ,for he had heard that
 he was departed from ,lachis4    #cg3i4

 ,and he heard say about ,tharaca the   
king of ,ethiopia3 ,he is come  forth to
 fight against thee4 ,and when he heard 
it1 he sent messengers to  ,ezechias1   
saying3    #cg3aj4 ,thus shall you speak
 to ,ezechias the king of ,juda1 saying3
 ,let  not thy ,god deceive thee1 in    
whom thou trustest1 saying3 ,jerusalem  
shall  not be given into the hands of   
the king of the ,assyrians4    #cg3aa4  
,behold thou hast heard all that the    
kings of the ,assyrians have  done to   
all countries which they have destroyed1
 and canst thou be  delivered8          
#cg3ab4 ,have the gods of the nations   
delivered them whom my fathers have     
destroyed1 ,gozam1 and ,haram1 and      
,reseph1 and the children of ,eden1 that
  were in ,thalassar8    #cg3ac4 ,where 
is the king of ,emath1 and the king of  
,arphad1 and the king  of the city of   
,sepharvaim1 of ,ana1 and of ,ava8      
#cg3ad4 ,and ,ezechias took the letter  
from the hand of the messengers1 and    
read it1 and went up to the house of the

 ,lord1 and ,ezechias spread it  before 
the ,lord4    #cg3ae4 ,and ,ezechias    
prayed to the ,lord1 saying3    #cg3af4 
,lord of hosts1 ,god of ,israel who     
sitteth upon the cherubims1 thou  alone 
art the ,god of all the kingdoms of the 
earth1 thou hast made  heaven and earth4
    #cg3ag4 ,incline1 ,o ,lord1 thy ear1
 and hear3 open1 ,o ,lord1 thy eyes1 and
  see1 and hear all the words of        
,sennacherib1 which he hath sent to     
blaspheme the living ,god4    #cg3ah4   
,for of a truth1 ,o ,lord1 the kings of 
the ,assyrians have laid  waste lands1  
and their countries4    #cg3ai4 ,and    
they have cast their gods into the fire1
 for they were not  gods1 but the works 
of men's hands1 of wood and stone3 and  
they broke  them in pieces4    #cg3bj4  
,and now1 ,o ,lord our ,god1 save us out
 of his hand3 and let all the  kingdoms 
of the earth know1 that thou only art   
the ,lord4    #cg3ba4 ,and ,isaias the  
son of ,amos sent to ,ezechias1 saying3 
,thus saith  the ,lord the ,god of      

,israel3 ,for the prayer thou hast made 
to me  concerning ,sennacherib the king 
of the ,assyrians3    #cg3bb4 ,this is  
the word which the ,lord hath spoken of 
him3 ,the virgin  the daughter of ,sion 
hath despised thee1 and laughed thee to 
scorn3 the  daughter of ,jerusalem hath 
wagged the head after thee4    #cg3bc4  
,whom hast thou reproached1 and whom    
hast thou blasphemed1 and  against whom 
hast thou exalted thy voice1 and lifted 
up thy eyes on  high8 ,against the ,holy
 ,one of ,israel4    #cg3bd4 ,by the    
hand of thy servants thou hast          
reproached the ,lord3 and  hast said3   
,with the multitude of my chariots ,i   
have gone up to the  height of the      
mountains1 to the top of ,libanus3 and  
,i will cut down its  tall cedars1 and  
its choice fir trees1 and will enter to 
the top of its  height1 to the forest of
 its ,carmel4    ,carmel444 ,see these  
figurative expressions explained in the 
annotations  on the nineteenth chapter  
of the fourth book of ,kings4    #cg3be4

 ,i have digged1 and drunk water1 and   
have dried up with the sole  of my foot1
 all the rivers shut up in banks4       
#cg3bf4 ,hast thou not heard what ,i    
have done to him of old8 from the days  
of old ,i have formed it3 and now ,i    
have brought it to effect3 and it  hath 
come to pass that hills fighting        
together1 and fenced cities should  be  
destroyed4    #cg3bg4 ,the inhabitants  
of them were weak of hand1 they         
trembled1 and  were confounded3 they    
became like the grass of the field1 and 
the herb  of the pasture1 and like the  
grass of the housetops1 which withered  
before it was ripe4    #cg3bh4 ,i know  
thy dwelling1 and thy going out1 and thy
 coming in1 and  thy rage against me4   
#cg3bi4 ,when thou wast mad against me1 
thy pride came up to my ears3  therefore
 ,i will put a ring in thy nose1 and a  
bit between thy lips1 and  ,i will turn 
thee back by the way by which thou      
camest4    #cg3cj4 ,but to thee this    
shall be a sign3 ,eat this year the     

things that  spring of themselves1 and  
in the second year eat fruits3 but in   
the  third year sow and reap1 and plant 
vineyards1 and eat the fruit of them4   
#cg3ca4 ,and that which shall be saved  
of the house of ,juda1 and which is     
left1 shall take root downward1 and     
shall bear fruit upward3    #cg3cb4 ,for
 out of ,jerusalem shall go forth a     
remnant1 and salvation from  mount      
,sion3 the zeal of the ,lord of hosts   
shall do this4    #cg3cc4 ,wherefore    
thus saith the ,lord concerning the king
 of the  ,assyrians3 ,he shall not come 
into this city1 nor shoot an arrow into 
it1  nor come before it with shield1 nor
 cast a trench about it4    #cg3cd4 ,by 
the way that he came1 he shall return1  
and into this city he  shall not come1  
saith the ,lord4    #cg3ce4 ,and ,i will
 protect this city1 and will save it for
 my own sake1  and for the sake of      
,david my servant4    #cg3cf4 ,and the  
angel of the ,lord went out and slew in 
the camp of the  ,assyrians a hundred   

and eighty-five thousand4 ,and they     
arose in the  morning1 and behold they  
were all dead corpses4    #cg3cg4 ,and  
,sennacherib the king of the ,assyrians 
went out and departed1  and returned1   
and dwelt in ,ninive4    #cg3ch4 ,and it
 came to pass1 as he was worshipping in 
the temple of  ,nesroch his god1 that   
,adramelech and ,sarasar his sons slew  
him with the  sword3 and they fled into 
the land of ,ararat1 and ,asarhaddon his
 son  reigned in his stead4    ,isaias  
,chapter #ch    ,ezechias being         
advertised that he shall die1 obtains by
 prayer a  prolongation of his life3 in 
confirmation of which the sun goes back4
  ,the canticle of ,ezechias4    #ch3a4 
,in those days ,ezechias was sick even  
to death1 and ,isaias the son  of ,amos 
the prophet cane unto him1 and said to  
him3 ,thus saith the ,lord3  ,take order
 with thy house1 for thou shalt die1 and
 not live4    #ch3b4 ,and ,ezechias     
turned his face toward the wall1 and    
prayed to the  ,lord1    #ch3c4 ,and    

said3 ,i beseech thee1 ,o ,lord1        
remember how ,i have walked  before thee
 in truth1 and with a perfect heart1 and
 have done that which  is good in thy   
sight4 ,and ,ezechias wept with great   
weeping4    #ch3d4 ,and the word of the 
,lord came to ,isaias1 saying3    #ch3e4
 ,go and say to ,ezechias3 ,thus saith  
the ,lord the ,god of ,david thy        
father3 ,i have heard thy prayer1 and ,i
 have seen thy tears3 behold ,i  will   
add to thy days fifteen years3    #ch3f4
 ,and ,i will deliver thee and this city
 out of the hand of the king  of the    
,assyrians1 and ,i will protect it4     
#ch3g4 ,and this shall be a sign to thee
 from the ,lord1 that the ,lord will  do
 this word which he hath spoken3        
#ch3h4 ,behold ,i will bring again the  
shadow of the lines1 by which it is  now
 gone down in the sun dial of ,achaz    
with the sun1 ten lines backward4  ,and 
the sun returned ten lines by the       
degrees by which it was gone down4      
#ch3i4 ,the writing of ,ezechias king of

 ,juda1 when he had been sick1 and  was 
recovered of his sickness4    #ch3aj4 ,i

 go to the gates of hell3  ,i sought for
 the residue of my years4    ,hell444

nor the inhabitant of rest4    #ch3ab4  
,my generation is at an end1 and it is  
rolled away from me1 as a  shepherd's

from morning even to night thou wilt

#ch3ae4 ,what shall ,i say1 or what     

shall he answer for me1 whereas he      
himself hath done it8 ,i will recount to
 thee all my years in the  bitterness of
 my soul4    #ch3af4 ,o ,lord1 if man's 
life be such1 and the life of my spirit 
be in  such things as these1 thou shalt 
correct me1 and make me to live4        
#ch3ag4 ,behold in peace is my          
bitterness most bitter3 but thou hast   
delivered my soul that it should not    
perish1 thou hast cast all my sins      
behind thy back4    #ch3ah4 ,for hell

#ch3bj4 ,o ,lord1 save me1 and we will  
sing our psalms all the days of our     
life in the house of the ,lord4         
#ch3ba4 ,now ,isaias had ordered that   
they should take a lump of figs1 and    
lay it as a plaster upon the wound1 and 

that he should be healed4    #ch3bb4    
,and ,ezechias had said3 ,what shall be 
the sign that ,i shall go up  to the    
house of the ,lord8    ,isaias ,chapter 
#ci    ,ezechias shews all his treasures

captivity4    #ci3a4 ,at that time      
,merodach ,baladan1 the son of ,baladan 
king of ,babylon1  sent letters and     
presents to ,ezechias3 for he had heard 
that he had been  sick and was          
recovered4    #ci3b4 ,and ,ezechias     
rejoiced at their coming1 and he shewed 
them the  storehouses of his aromatical 
spices1 and of the silver1 and of the   
gold1 and of the sweet odours1 and of   
the precious ointment1 and all the      
storehouses of his furniture1 and all   
things that were found in his           
treasures4 ,there was nothing in his    
house1 nor in all his dominion that     
,ezechias shewed them not4    #ci3c4    
,then ,isaias the prophet came to king  
,ezechias1 and said to him3  ,what said 

these men1 and from whence came they to 
thee8 ,and ,ezechias  said3 ,from a far 
country they came to me1 from ,babylon4 
#ci3d4 ,and he said3 ,what saw they in  
thy house8 ,and ,ezechias said3 ,all    
things that are in my house have they   
seen1 there was not any thing  which ,i 
have not shewn them in my treasures4

sin is displayed1 as the great obstacle 
to all good  from ,god3 yet he will send
 a ,redeemer1 and make an everlasting

,behold the hand of the ,lord is not    
shortened that it cannot save1  neither 
is his ear heavy that it cannot hear4   

#ei3b4 ,but your iniquities have divided
 between you and your ,god1 and  your   
sins have hid his face from you that he 
should not hear4    #ei3c4 ,for your    
hands are defiled with blood1 and your  
fingers with  iniquity3 your lips have  
spoken lies1 and your tongue uttereth   
iniquity4    #ei3d4 ,there is none that 
calleth upon justice1 neither is there  
any one  that judgeth truly3 but they   
trust in a mere nothing1 and speak      
vanities3 they have conceived labour1   
and brought forth iniquity4    #ei3e4   
,they have broken the eggs of asps1 and 
have woven the webs of  spiders3 he that
 shall eat of their eggs1 shall die3 and
 that which is  brought out1 shall be   
hatched into a basilisk4    #ei3f4      
,their webs shall not be for clothing1  
neither shall they cover  themselves    
with their works3 their works are       
unprofitable works1 and the  work of    
iniquity is in their hands4    #ei3g4   
,their feet run to evil1 and make haste 
to shed innocent blood3  their thoughts 

are unprofitable thoughts3 wasting and  
destruction are in  their ways4

crooked to them1 every one that         
treadeth in them knoweth no peace4      
#ei3i4 ,therefore is judgment far from  
us1 and justice shall not overtake  us4

darkness3 brightness1 and we have

groped for the wall1 and like the blind

mournful  doves4 ,we have looked for    
judgment1 and there is none3 for        
salvation1  and it is far from us4      
#ei3ab4 ,for our iniquities are         
multiplied before thee1 and our sins    
have  testified against us3 for our     
wicked doings are with us1 and have     

known  our iniquities3    #ei3ac4 ,in   
sinning and lying against the ,lord3 and
 we have turned away so  that we went   
not after our ,god1 but spoke calumny   
and transgression3 we  have conceived1  
and uttered from the heart1 words of    
falsehood4    #ei3ad4 ,and judgment is  
turned away backward1 and justice hath  
stood far  off3 because truth hath      
fallen down in the street1 and equity   
could not  come in4    #ei3ae4 ,and     
truth hath been forgotten3 and he that  
departed from evil1  lay open to be a   
prey3 and the ,lord saw1 and it appeared
 evil in his  eyes1 because there is no 
judgment4    #ei3af4 ,and he saw that   
there is not a man3 and he stood        
astonished1  because there is none to   
oppose himself3 and his own arm brought 
salvation to him1 and his own justice   
supported him4    #ei3ag4 ,he put on    
justice as a breastplate1 and a helmet  
of salvation  upon his head3 he put on  
the garments of vengeance1 and was clad 
with  zeal as with a cloak4    #ei3ah4  

,as unto revenge1 as it were to repay   
wrath to his adversaries1  and a reward 
to his enemies3 he will repay the like  
to the islands4    #ei3ai4 ,and they    
from the west1 shall fear the name of   
the ,lord3 and they  from the rising of 
the sun1 his glory when he shall come as
 a violent  stream1 which the spirit of

,lord1 the praise of the  ,lord for all 
the things that the ,lord hath bestowed 
upon us1 and for the  multitude of his  
good things to the house of ,israel1    
which he hath given  them according to  
his kindness1 and according to the      
multitude of his  mercies4    #fc3h4    
,and he said3 ,surely they are my       
people1 children that will not  deny3 so
 he became their saviour4    #fc3i4 ,in 
all their affliction he was not         
troubled1 and the angel of his  presence
 saved them3 in his love1 and in his    
mercy he redeemed them1 and  he carried 

them and lifted them up all the days of 
old4    #fc3aj4 ,but they provoked to   
wrath1 and afflicted the spirit of his  
,holy  ,one3 and he was turned to be    
their enemy1 and he fought against them4
    #fc3aa4 ,and he remembered the days 
of old of ,moses1 and of his people3    
,where is he that brought them up out of
 the sea1 with the shepherds of  his    
flock8 where is he that put in the midst
 of them the spirit of his  ,holy ,one8 
#fc3ab4 ,he that brought out ,moses by  
the right hand1 by the arm of his       
majesty3 that divided the waters before 
them1 to make himself an  everlasting   
name4    #fc3ac4 ,he that led them out  
through the deep1 as a horse in the     
wilderness that stumbleth not4          
#fc3ad4 ,as a beast that goeth down in  
the field1 the spirit of the ,lord  was 
their leader3 so didst thou lead thy    
people to make thyself a  glorious name4
    #fc3ae4 ,look down from heaven1 and 
behold from thy holy habitation and  the
 place of thy glory3 where is thy zeal1 

and thy strength1 the  multitude of thy 
bowels1 and of thy mercies8 they have   
held back  themselves from me4    ,they 
have held back1 etc444 ,this is spoken  
by the prophet in the person  of the    
,jews at the time when1 for their sins1 
they were given up to  their enemies4   
#fc3af4 ,for thou art our father1 and   
,abraham hath not known us1 and  ,israel
 hath been ignorant of us3 thou1 ,o     
,lord1 art our father1 our  redeemer1   
from everlasting is thy name4           
,abraham hath not know us1 etc444 ,that 
is1 ,abraham will not now  acknowledge  
us for his children1 by reason of our   
degeneracy2 but thou1  ,o ,lord1 art our
 true father and our redeemer1 and no   
other can be called  our parent in      
comparison with thee4    #fc3ag4 ,why   
hast thou made us to err1 ,o ,lord1 from
 thy ways3 why hast  thou hardened our  
heart1 that we should not fear thee8    
return for the  sake of thy servants1   
the tribes of thy inheritance4    ,made 
us to err1 etc4 ,hardened our heart1    

etc444 ,the meaning is1 that ,god  in   
punishment of their great and manifold  
crimes1 and their long abuse  of his    
mercy and grace1 had withdrawn his      
graces from them1 and so given  them up 
to error and hardness of heart4         
#fc3ah4 ,they have possessed thy holy   
people as nothing3 our enemies have     
trodden down thy sanctuary4    #fc3ai4  
,we are become as in the beginning1 when
 thou didst not rule over  us1 and when 
we were not called by thy name4         
,isaias ,chapter #fd    ,the prophet    
prays for the release of his people2 and
 for the remission  of their sins4      
#fd3a4 ,o that thou wouldst rend the    
heavens1 and wouldst come down3 the     
mountains would melt away at thy        
presence4    #fd3b4 ,they would melt as 
at the burning of fire1 the waters would
 burn  with fire1 that thy name might be
 made known to thy enemies3 that the    
nations might tremble at thy presence4  
#fd3c4 ,when thou shalt do wonderful    
things1 we shall not bear them3 thou    

didst come down1 and at thy presence the
 mountains melted away4    #fd3d4 ,from 
the beginning of the world they have not
 heard1 nor perceived  with the ears3   
the eye hath not seen1 ,o ,god1 besides 
thee1 what things  thou hast prepared   
for them that wait for thee4    #fd3e4  
,thou hast met him that rejoiceth1 and  
doth justice3 in thy ways  they shall   
remember thee3 behold thou art angry1   
and we have sinned3 in  them we have    
been always1 and we shall be saved4     
#fd3f4 ,and we are all become as one    
unclean1 and all our justices as the    
rag of a menstruous woman3 and we have  
all fallen as a leaf1 and our           
iniquities1 like the wind1 have taken us
 away4    ,our justices1 etc444 ,that   
is1 the works by which we pretended to  
make  ourselves just4 ,this is spoken   
particularly of the sacrifices1         
sacraments1 and ceremonies of the ,jews1
 after the death of ,christ1 and  the   
promulgation of the new law4    #fd3g4  
,there is none that calleth upon thy    

name3 that riseth up1 and  taketh hold  
of thee3 thou hast hid thy face from us1
 and hast crushed us  in the hand of our
 iniquity4    #fd3h4 ,and now1 ,o ,lord1
 thou art our father1 and we are clay3  
and thou  art our maker1 and we all are 
the works of thy hands4    #fd3i4 ,be   
not very angry1 ,o ,lord1 and remember  
no longer our iniquity3  behold1 see we 
are all thy people4    #fd3aj4 ,the city
 of thy sanctuary is become a desert1   
,sion is made a  desert1 ,jerusalem is  
desolate4    #fd3aa4 ,the house of our  
holiness1 and of our glory1 where our   
fathers  praised thee1 is burnt with    
fire1 and all our lovely things are     
turned  into ruins4    #fd3ab4 ,wilt    
thou refrain thyself1 ,o ,lord1 upon    
these things1 wilt thou  hold thy peace1
 and afflict us vehemently8    ,isaias  
,chapter #fe    ,the ,gentiles shall    
seek and find ,christ1 but the ,jews    
will persecute  him1 and be rejected1   
only a remnant shall be reserved4 ,the  
church shall  multiply1 and abound with 

graces4    #fe3a4 ,they have sought me

found  me that sought me not4 ,i said3  
,behold me1 behold me1 to a nation that 
did not call upon my name4    #fe3b4 ,i 
have spread forth my hands all the day  
to an unbelieving people1  who walk in a
 way that is not good after their own   
thoughts4    #fe3c4 ,a people that      
continually provoke me to anger before  
my face1 that  immolate in gardens1 and 
sacrifice upon bricks4    #fe3d4 ,that  
dwell in sepulchres1 and sleep in the   
temple of idols3 that  eat swine's      
flesh1 and profane broth is in their    
vessels4    #fe3e4 ,that say3 ,depart   
from me1 come not near me1 because thou 
art  unclean3 these shall be smoke in my
 anger1 a fire burning all the day4     
#fe3f4 ,behold it is written before me3 
,i will not be silent1 but ,i will      
render and repay into their bosom4      
#fe3g4 ,your iniquities1 and the        
iniquities of your fathers together1    
saith the ,lord1 who have sacrificed    

upon the mountains1 and have  reproached
 me upon the hills2 and ,i will measure 
back their first work  in their bosom4  
#fe3h4 ,thus saith the ,lord3 ,as if a  
grain be found in a cluster1 and it  be 
said3 ,destroy it not1 because it is a  
blessing3 so will ,i do for the  sake of
 my servants1 that ,i may not destroy   
the whole4    #fe3i4 ,and ,i will bring 
forth a seed out of ,jacob1 and out of  
,juda a  possessor of my mountains3 and 
my elect shall inherit it1 and my       
servants shall dwell there4    #fe3aj4  
,and the plains shall be turned to folds
 of flocks1 and the valley  of ,achor   
into a place for the herds to lie down  
in1 for my people that  have sought me4 
#fe3aa4 ,and you1 that have forsaken the
 ,lord1 that have forgotten my holy     
mount1 that set a table for fortune1 and
 offer libations upon it1    #fe3ab4 ,i 
will number you in the sword1 and you   
shall all fall by  slaughter3 because ,i
 called and you did not answer3 ,i      
spoke1 and you did  not hear3 and you   

did evil in my eyes1 and you have chosen
 the things  that displease me4         
#fe3ac4 ,therefore thus saith the ,lord 
,god3 ,behold my servants shall eat1    
and you shall be hungry3 behold my      
servants shall drink1 and you shall  be 
thirsty4    #fe3ad4 ,behold my servants 
shall rejoice1 and you shall be         
confounded3  behold my servants shall   
praise for joyfulness of heart1 and you 
shall  cry for sorrow of heart1 and     
shall howl for grief of spirit4         
#fe3ae4 ,and you shall leave your name  
for an execration to my elect3 and  the 
,lord ,god shall slay thee1 and call his
 servants by another name4    #fe3af4   
,in which he that is blessed upon the   
earth1 shall be blessed in  ,god1 amen3 
and he that sweareth in the earth1 shall
 swear by ,god1 amen3  because the      
former distresses are forgotten1 and    
because they are hid  from my eyes4     
#fe3ag4 ,for behold ,i create new       
heavens1 and a new earth3 and the former
  things shall not be in remembrance1   

and they shall not come upon the  heart4

rejoice for ever in these things1 which 
,i create3 for behold ,i create         
,jerusalem a rejoicing1 and the people  
thereof joy4    #fe3ai4 ,and ,i will    
rejoice in ,jerusalem1 and joy in my    
people1 and the  voice of weeping shall 
no more be heard in her1 nor the voice  
of crying4    #fe3bj4 ,there shall no   
more be an infant of days there1 nor an 
old man  that shall not fill up his     
days3 for the child shall die a hundred 
years  old1 and the sinner being a      
hundred years old shall be accursed4    
#fe3ba4 ,and they shall build houses1   
and inhabit them2 and they shall  plant 
vineyards1 and eat the fruits of them4

serpent's food3 they shall not  hurt nor

 ,lord4    ,isaias ,chapter #ff    ,more
 of the reprobation of the ,jews1 and of
 the call of the ,gentiles4    #ff3a4

throne1 and the earth my  footstool3    
what is this house that you will build  
to me8 and what is  this place of my    
rest8    ,what is this house1 etc444    
,this is a prophecy that the temple

made all these things1 and all these    
things were made1  saith the ,lord4 ,but
 to whom shall ,i have respect1 but to  
him that is  poor and little1 and of a  

contrite spirit1 and that trembleth at  
my  words8    #ff3c4 ,he that           
sacrificeth an ox1 is as if he slew a

should offer swine's blood2 he that     
remembereth  incense1 as if he should   
bless an idol4 ,all these things have   
they  chosen in their ways1 and their   
soul is delighted in their abominations4

that  would answer2 ,i have spoken1 and 
they heard not2 and they have done evil 
in my eyes1 and have chosen the things  

that displease me4    ,i will choose    
their mockeries444 ,i will turn their   
mockeries upon  themselves2 and will    
cause them to be mocked by their

such a thing8 and who hath seen the like

hath been in labour1 and hath  brought  
forth her children8    #ff3i4 ,shall not

consolations3 that you may milk out1 and
 flow with delights1 from the  abundance
 of her glory4    #ff3ab4 ,for thus     
saith the ,lord3 ,behold ,i will bring  
upon her as it were  a river of peace1  
and as an overflowing torrent the glory 
of the  ,gentiles1 which you shall suck2
 you shall be carried at the breasts1

you4    #ff3ac4 ,as one whom the mother

,lord will come with fire1 and his      
chariots are  like a whirlwind1 to

slain of the ,lord shall be many4

holy mountain ,jerusalem1 saith the

month1 and sabbath after sabbath3  and  
all flesh shall come to adore before my 

face1 saith the ,lord4    #ff3bd4 ,and
