lesserot - Isaiah:15-19

lesserot@Isaiah:15:1 @ The doom of Moab. Truly in a night is Ar of Moab plundered, it is laid waste; truly in a night is Kir of Moab plundered, it is laid waste.

lesserot@Isaiah:15:2 @ It goeth up to the house, and Dibon up to the highplaces to weep, on Nebo and on Medeba shall Moab wail: on all its heads there is baldness, and every beard is hewn off.

lesserot@Isaiah:15:3 @ In its streets they are girded with sackcloth, on its roofs, and in its public places every one shall wail, groan with weeping.

lesserot@Isaiah:15:4 @ And loud crieth Cheshbon with Elaleh; as far as Yahaz is heard their voice: therefore the armed men of Moab shall howl; its soul is grieved for itself.

lesserot@Isaiah:15:5 @ My heart will cry for Moab, whose fugitives are as far as Zoar, the third Eglarth; for the ascent of Luchithwith weeping is it ascended; for on the way to Choronayim they let resound the cry of defeat.

lesserot@Isaiah:15:6 @ For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for dry is the grass, gone are the herbs, and green things are no more.

lesserot@Isaiah:15:7 @ Therefore the rest of their acquisitions and what they possess shall they carry away over the brook of the willows.

lesserot@Isaiah:15:8 @ For the cry hath encompassed the boundary of Moab; up to Eglayim its wail, and at Beerelim its wail.

lesserot@Isaiah:15:9 @ For the waters of Dimon are filled with blood; for I will bring over Dimon armed bands; over the escaped of Moab a lion, and over the remnant of the land.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:1 @ Send ye the lambs of the ruler of the land from Sela, through the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:2 @ For it shall be, that, as a fugitive bird, as a chased nest, so shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of Arnon.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:3 @ Bring counsel, execute justice; render like the night thy shadow in the midst of the noonday; conceal the outcasts; betray not the fugitive.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:4 @ Let my outcasts sojourn with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the waster: till ceaseth the extortion, past be the wasting, and vanished be the oppressor out of the land.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:5 @ And there shall be founded through kindness a throne; and there shall sit upon it in truthfulness in the tent of David a judge who seeketh justice, and is quick in righteousness.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:6 @ We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath, his groundless lies.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:7 @ Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail; for the strong walls of Kircharesseth shall ye lament, deeply stricken.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:8 @ For the fields of Cheshbon are withered, the vine of Sibmah the lords of nations have beaten down its branches, they did reach as far as Yazer, into the wilderness did they wander; its tendrils were stretched forth, they passed over the sea.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:9 @ Therefore will I weep, when weeping for Yazer, for the vine of Sibmah: I will moisten thee richly with my tears, O Cheshbon, and Elaleh; for over thy summer fruits and over thy harvest the battlecry is fallen.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:10 @ And are taken away joy and gladness out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards shall be no singing, shall be no joyful shout: in the presses shall the treader not tread out wine; I have stopped the harvestcall.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:11 @ Therefore my bowels shall groan for Moab like a harp, and my inward parts for Kircharess.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:12 @ And it shall come to pass, that it shall be seen that Moab is weary on the highplaces; and he will come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not accomplish.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:13 @ This is the word that the Lord hath spoken concerning Moab in former times.

lesserot@Isaiah:16:14 @ But now hath the Lord spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hired laborer, shall the glory of Moab be rendered mean with all this great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and inconsiderable.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:1 @ The doom of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is deprived of being a city, and it shall become decaying ruins.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:2 @ Forsaken are the cities of Aroer: they shall be to flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:3 @ And there shall cease the fortress from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, saith the Lord of hosts.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:4 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall vanish, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:5 @ And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standingcorn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:6 @ And there shall be left on it gleaningfruit, as one shaketh an olivetree, two or three berries on the top of the uppermost bough, four or five on the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:7 @ On that day shall a man turn his regard up to his Maker, and his eyes shall look toward the Holy One of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:8 @ And he shall not turn his regard to the altars, the work of his hands; and he shall not look at what his fingers have made, both the groves and the sunimages.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:9 @ On that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken ruin in a forest, and on a mountainpeak, which they left because of the children of Israel: and the land shall be desolate.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:10 @ Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and the rock of thy strength thou hast not remembered; therefore wouldst thou plant luxuriant plantings, and wouldst set out the shoots of the stranger therein.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:11 @ on the day that thou plantedst thou causedst to grow, and in the morning thou madest thy seed to blossom; but now fleeth the harvest on the day of disease and of incurable pain.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:12 @ Woe to the raging of many people, who rage like the raging of the seas; and to the noise of nations, that make a noise like the roar of mighty waters!

lesserot@Isaiah:17:13 @ The nations will make a noise like the roaring of many waters; but He will rebuke it, and it shall flee afar off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as thistledown before the tempest.

lesserot@Isaiah:17:14 @ At eveningtide, behold, there is trouble; before yet it is morning it is no more. This is the portion of our spoilers, and the lot of those that plunder us.

lesserot@Isaiah:18:1 @ Woe to the land with spreading wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush,

lesserot@Isaiah:18:2 @ That sendeth on the sea ambassadors, and in vessels of bulrushes messengers over the face of the waters. Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation pulled and torn, to a people terrible from their beginning and onward; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

lesserot@Isaiah:18:3 @ All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, when the ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the cornet is blown, hear ye.

lesserot@Isaiah:18:4 @ For so hath said the Lord unto me, I will take my rest, and I will look down on my dwellingplace like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

lesserot@Isaiah:18:5 @ For before the harvest, when the blossom is past, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, will he both cut off the tendrils with pruningknives, and the sprigs will he remove and cut down.

lesserot@Isaiah:18:6 @ They shall be left together unto the birds of prey of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the birds of prey shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

lesserot@Isaiah:18:7 @ At that time shall be brought as a present unto the Lord of hosts a people pulled and torn, and a people terrible from their beginning and onward; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:1 @ The doom of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved because of his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its inward parts.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:2 @ And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his fellow; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:3 @ And the spirit of Egypt shall be emptied out in its inward parts, and its counsel will I frustrate; and they will inquire of the idols, and of the charmers, and of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:4 @ And I will surrender the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a rigorous king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:5 @ And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:6 @ And the rivers shall become foul; and shallow and dried up shall become the deep streams: reeds and flags shall wither.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:7 @ The wellrooted plants by the stream, by the mouth of the stream, and every thing sown by the stream, shall dry up, be scattered and be no more.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:8 @ The fishermen also shall lament, and all they that cast an angle into the stream shall mourn; and they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:9 @ And ashamed shall be they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white cloth.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:10 @ And its foundations shall be beaten down, all that build sluices shall be grieved in soul.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:11 @ Surely fools are the princes of Zoan, the wise of the counsellors of Pharaoh silly counsel: how can ye say unto Pharaoh, I am a son of the wise, a son of the ancient kings?

lesserot@Isaiah:19:12 @ Where are they, these, thy wise men? that they may tell thee now, that they know what the Lord of hosts hath resolved on over Egypt.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:13 @ The princes of Zoan are become fools, deceived are the princes of Noph; and Egypt is led astray by the chiefs of its tribes.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:14 @ The Lord hath poured out in the midst thereof a spirit of perverseness: and they have led Egypt astray in all its work, as a drunkard reeleth astray in his vomit.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:15 @ And there shall not be for Egypt work, which the head or tail, palmbranch or rush, may do.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:16 @ On that day shall Egypt be like the women: and it shall tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he waveth over it.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:17 @ And the land of Judah shall become unto Egypt a terror, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be in dread, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath resolved against it.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:18 @ On that day shall be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts; "The city of destruction" shall one be called.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:19 @ On that day shall there be all altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:20 @ And it shall be for a sign and for a testimony unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he will send them a helper, and a chief, and he shall deliver them.

lesserot@Isaiah:19:21 @ And the Lord will be made known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord on that day, and will do service sacrifice and oblation; yea, they will make vows unto the Lord and perform.
