lesserot - Isaiah:20-22

lesserot@Isaiah:20:1 @ In the year that Tharthan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and fought against Ashdod, and captured it;

lesserot@Isaiah:20:2 @ At the same time spoke the Lord by means of Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth from off thy loins, and thy shoe shalt thou pull off from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

lesserot@Isaiah:20:3 @ And the Lord said, Just as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years as a sign and token for Egypt and for Cush:

lesserot@Isaiah:20:4 @ So shall the king of Assyria lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with uncovered buttocks, to the disgrace of Egypt.

lesserot@Isaiah:20:5 @ And they shall be terrified, and ashamed of Cush their trust, and of Egypt their vaunt.

lesserot@Isaiah:20:6 @ And the inhabitant of this isle shall say on that day, Behold, such is our trust, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we then escape?

lesserot@Isaiah:21:1 @ The doom of the desert by the sea. As tempests in the south blow with fury; so doth it come from the desert, from a terrible land.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:2 @ A hard vision hath been told unto me; the traitor dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. "Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media;" all sighing have I caused to cease.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:3 @ Therefore are my loins filled with pain; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I am too much cramped to hear; I am too much dismayed to see.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:4 @ My heart wandereth astray, dread affrighteth me: the evening of my pleasure hath he turned unto me into terror.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:5 @ Prepare the table, put on the candlesticks, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:6 @ For thus hath said unto me the Lord, Go, set the watchman, what he seeth let him tell.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:7 @ And he will see chariots, horsemen in couples, riders on asses, riders on camels; and he shall listen diligently with much heed:

lesserot@Isaiah:21:8 @ And he calleth a lion, Upon the watchtower, O Lord, do I stand continually in the daytime, and on my ward am I set all the nights.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:9 @ And, behold, here cometh a chariot with men, horsemen in couples, and he commenceth and saith, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods hath he shivered unto the ground.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:10 @ O my downtrodden and the son of my threshingfloor: that which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I told unto you.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:11 @ The doom of Dumah. Unto me one calleth out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

lesserot@Isaiah:21:12 @ The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will desire, desire ye; return, come again.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:13 @ The doom upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanim.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:14 @ Toward him that is thirsty they bring water; the inhabitants of the land of Thema meet with suitable bread the fugitive.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:15 @ Because from the swords are they fled, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the pressure of war.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:16 @ For thus hath said the Lord unto me, Within yet one year, like the years of a hired laborer, shall all the glory of Kedar be at an end:

lesserot@Isaiah:21:17 @ And the residue of the number of bows of the mighty men of the children of Kedar shall be small; for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:1 @ The doom of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the roofs?

lesserot@Isaiah:22:2 @ O noiseful, tumultuous city, joyous town? thy slain ones are not slain with the sword, and not those that die in battle.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:3 @ All thy rulers are fled together, they are made prisoners by the bowmen: all that are found in thee are made prisoners together, who have run away from afar.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly; be not urgent to comfort me, because of the wasting of the daughter of my people.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:5 @ For a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity hath the Lord Eternal of hosts in the valley of vision; walls are broken, and crying is heard against the mountain.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:6 @ And Elam beareth the quiver, with men in chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovereth the shield.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:7 @ And it is so, that thy choicest valleys are full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array against the gate.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:8 @ And he laid open the covering of Judah; and thou didst look on that day toward the armor of the house of the forest.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:9 @ And the breaches of the city of David have ye seen, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:10 @ And the houses of Jerusalem have ye numbered, and ye have pulled down the houses to fortify the wall.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:11 @ And a tank have ye made between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but ye have not looked at the Maker thereof, him that fashioned it in distant times have ye not regarded.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:12 @ And the Lord Eternal of hosts called on that day for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:13 @ And behold gladness and joy, slaying of oxen, and killing of sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we must die."

lesserot@Isaiah:22:14 @ And it was revealed in my ears by the Lord of hosts: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven unto you until ye die, said the Lord the Eternal of hosts.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:15 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, who is over the house;

lesserot@Isaiah:22:16 @ What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn out for thyself here a sepulchre, that hath hewn out on high his sepulchre, that holloweth out in the rock a habitation for himself?

lesserot@Isaiah:22:17 @ Behold, the Lord will thrust thee about with a mighty throw, O man! and will lay fast hold of thee;

lesserot@Isaiah:22:18 @ He will roll thee up as a bundle, and like a ball into a country of ample space: there shalt thou die, and there shall the chariots of thy glory, thou disgrace of the house of thy lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:19 @ And I will cast thee out from thy station, and from thy post shall he pull thee down.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:20 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will call my servant, for Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:21 @ And I will clothe him with thy robe, and thy girdle will I fasten around him, and thy government will I place into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:22 @ And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; so that he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:23 @ And I will fasten him as a tentnail in a sure place; and he shall be for a chair of honor to his fathers house.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:24 @ And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his fathers house, the shoots and offshoots, all the small vessels, from the vessels of basins, even to all the vessels of flagons.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:25 @ On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall be removed the nail that is fastened in the sure place, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that is upon it shall be cut off; for the Lord hath spoken it.

lesserot@Isaiah:23:1 @ The doom of Tyre. Wail, ye ships of Tharshish; for it is laid waste, without house, without entrance: from the land of Kittim hath it been revealed to them.
