mkjv - Isaiah:26-30

mkjv@Isaiah:26:1 @ In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; He sets up salvation [as our] walls and banks.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:2 @ Open the gates, and the righteous nation shall enter in, keeping faithfulness.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:3 @ You will keep [him] in perfect peace, whose mind [is] stayed on You; because he trusts in You.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:4 @ Trust in the LORD forever; for in the LORD JEHOVAH [is] everlasting strength.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:5 @ For He brings down those who dwell on high; He lays low the lofty city; He lays it low, even to the ground; He brings it to the dust.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:6 @ The foot shall trample it, the feet of the poor [and] the steps of the needy.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:7 @ The way of the just [is] uprightness; O Upright One, weigh the path of the just.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:8 @ Yea, [in] the way of Your judgments, O LORD, we awaited You; for Your name and for Your memory [is] the desire of [our] soul.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:9 @ [With] my soul I desired You in the night; yea, [with] my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments [are] in the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:10 @ Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:11 @ LORD, Your hand is lifted up, they will not see; but they shall see and be ashamed for [their] envy toward Your people. Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:12 @ LORD, You will ordain peace for us; for You also have worked all our works in us.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:13 @ O Jehovah our God, lords besides You have had the rule over us; [but] by You only will we make mention of Your name.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:14 @ Dead ones do not live; departed spirits do not rise. Therefore You have visited and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:15 @ You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have extended all the ends of the land.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:16 @ LORD, in trouble they have visited You; they poured out a prayer; Your chastening [was] on them.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:17 @ As a woman with child draws near to bear, she is in pain [and] cries out in her pangs; so have we been in Your sight, O LORD.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:18 @ We conceived; we have been in pain, we gave birth [to] wind. We have not brought about any salvation in the earth; nor have the people of the world fallen.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:19 @ Your dead ones shall live, [together with] my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew [is as] the dew of lights, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:20 @ Come, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors around you; hide for a little moment, until the fury has passed by.

mkjv@Isaiah:26:21 @ For behold, the LORD comes out of His place to punish the people of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also shall reveal her blood, and shall no more cover her dead.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:1 @ In that day the LORD with His great and fierce and strong sword shall punish the sea-monster, the darting serpent, the sea-monster, that twisting serpent; and He shall kill the monster in the sea.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:2 @ In that day sing to her, a delightful vineyard.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:3 @ I the LORD keep it; I will water it every moment; lest [any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:4 @ Fury [is] not in Me; who would set the briers [and] thorns against Me in battle? I would step through it; I would burn it at once.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:5 @ Or let them take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:6 @ He shall cause those who come from Jacob to take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world [with] fruit.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:7 @ Has He stricken him, as He struck those who struck Him? Is He slain according to the slaughter of the slain by Him?

mkjv@Isaiah:27:8 @ By driving her away, you will contend with her; by sending her away, You punished her. He takes away by His rough wind, in the day of the east wind.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:9 @ By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces, the Asherahs and sun-pillars shall not stand up.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:10 @ Yet the fortified city [shall be] wasted, and the dwelling forsaken and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down and eat up its branches.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:11 @ When its branches are dried up, they shall be broken off; the women come [and] set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore His Maker will not have mercy on them, and He who formed them will not favor them.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:12 @ And it shall be, in that day the LORD shall thresh from the stream of the river Euphrates to the torrent of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.

mkjv@Isaiah:27:13 @ And it shall be, in that day the great ram's horn shall be blown, and those perishing in the land of Assyria shall come, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall come and shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:1 @ Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower which is on the head of the fat valleys of those who are overcome with wine!

mkjv@Isaiah:28:2 @ Behold, the Lord is a mighty and strong one, like a hailstorm, a destroying storm; like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, He casts down to the earth with the hand.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:3 @ The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trampled under foot;

mkjv@Isaiah:28:4 @ and the glorious beauty, on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, [and] as the first-ripe fruit before the summer; which the beholder of it swallows up while it is yet in his hand.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:5 @ In that day the LORD of hosts shall be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the rest of His people,

mkjv@Isaiah:28:6 @ and for a spirit of judgment to him who sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back the battle to the gate.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:7 @ But they also have sinned through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way. The priest and the prophet have sinned through drink; they are swallowed up by wine; they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:8 @ For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness; no place [is clean].

mkjv@Isaiah:28:9 @ Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine? [Those] weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:10 @ For precept [must be] on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little;

mkjv@Isaiah:28:11 @ for with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:12 @ To whom He said, This [is] the rest; cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing. Yet they were not willing to hear.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:13 @ But the Word of the LORD was to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:14 @ Therefore hear the Word of the LORD, scornful men who rule this people in Jerusalem.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:15 @ Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and we have made a vision with hell; when the overwhelming rod shall pass through, it shall not come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood,

mkjv@Isaiah:28:16 @ therefore so says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I place in Zion a Stone for a foundation, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who believes shall not hurry.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:17 @ Also I will lay judgment to the line, and righteousness to the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:18 @ And your covenant with death shall be wiped out, and your vision with hell shall not stand; when the overwhelming rod shall pass through, then you shall be beaten down by it.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:19 @ From the time that it goes out it shall take you; for morning by morning it shall pass over, by day and by night; and it shall be only a terror to understand the message.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:20 @ For the bed is shorter than one can stretch himself on, and the cover is narrower than one can wrap himself in.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:21 @ For the LORD shall rise up as [in] Mount Perazim; He shall be angry as in the valley of Gibeon, so that He may do His work, His strange work; and bring to pass His act, His strange act.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:22 @ So then do not be mockers, lest your bands be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of hosts that a full end is decreed on all the earth.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:23 @ Give ear and hear my voice; listen, and hear my speech.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:24 @ Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he open and break the clods of his ground?

mkjv@Isaiah:28:25 @ When he has made the face of it level, does he not cast out the dill and scatter the cummin, and throw in the choice wheat and the chosen barley and the spelt [in] its border?

mkjv@Isaiah:28:26 @ For his God instructs him to do right; his God teaches him.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:27 @ For the dill is not threshed with a threshing instrument, nor is a cart wheel turned on cummin; but the dill is beaten out with a staff and the cummin with a rod.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:28 @ Bread grain is crushed, but not always does one thresh it [with] threshing. And he drives the wheel of his cart; and his horses do not beat it small.

mkjv@Isaiah:28:29 @ This also comes out from the LORD of hosts, [who] is wonderful in wisdom, making sound wisdom great.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:1 @ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city [where] David dwelt! Add year to year; let them kill their sacrifices.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:2 @ Then I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow; and it shall be to me as Ariel.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:3 @ And I will camp against you all around, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:4 @ And you shall be brought down; you shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust, and your voice shall be like a spiritist, out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:5 @ And the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones [shall be] as chaff that passes away; yea, it shall be at an instant, suddenly.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:6 @ You shall be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake and great noise, with storm and whirlwind, and the flame of devouring fire.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:7 @ And the multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, shall be like a dream of a night vision.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:8 @ It shall even be as when a hungry one dreams, and behold, he eats, but he wakes and his soul is empty; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, [he is] faint and his soul is longing. So shall it be with the multitude of all the nations who fight against mount Zion.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:9 @ Stand still and wonder! Blind your eyes and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not [with] strong drink.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:10 @ For the LORD has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes; He has covered the prophets and your heads, the seers.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:11 @ And the vision of all has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one who knows books saying, Please read this; and he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:12 @ And the book is delivered to him who does not know books, saying, Please read this; and he says, I do not know books.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:13 @ And the LORD said, Because this people draw near [Me] with their mouth, and with their lips honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the command of men;

mkjv@Isaiah:29:14 @ therefore, behold, I will go on doing among this people, a wonder, even a wonder. For the wisdom of their wise ones shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hidden.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:15 @ Woe [to] those who go deep to hide [their] purpose from the LORD! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? And who knows us?

mkjv@Isaiah:29:16 @ O your perversity! Shall the former be counted as the potter's clay; for shall the work say of him who made it, He did not make me? Or shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, He had no understanding?

mkjv@Isaiah:29:17 @ [Is] it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be counted as a forest?

mkjv@Isaiah:29:18 @ And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of their gloom and darkness.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:19 @ And the meek shall increase joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:20 @ For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is destroyed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off;

mkjv@Isaiah:29:21 @ those who make a man guilty by a word, and lay a trap for the reprover in the gate, and turn aside the just for a worthless thing.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:22 @ Therefore so says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now become pale.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:23 @ But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they shall sanctify My name, and sanctify the Holy one of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

mkjv@Isaiah:29:24 @ Those who erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who murmured shall learn doctrine.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:1 @ Woe [to] the rebellious sons, says the LORD, who make advice, but not of Me; and who cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they add sin to sin;

mkjv@Isaiah:30:2 @ those who set out to go down [to] Egypt and have not asked at My mouth; to take refuge in the strength of Pharaoh and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

mkjv@Isaiah:30:3 @ Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt shall be [your] curse.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:4 @ For his rulers were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came [to] Hanes.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:5 @ They were all ashamed of a people who could not profit them, nor be a help nor gain, but a shame and also a reproach.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:6 @ The burden concerning the beasts of the south. Into the land of trouble and woe. The lioness and the lion [are] from them; the viper, and the fiery flying serpent. They carry their riches on the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people [that] cannot profit.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:7 @ For Egypt helps vainly, and worthlessly. So I have cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit still.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:8 @ Now go, write it before them in a tablet, and note it in a book, so that it may be for the time to come forever and ever,

mkjv@Isaiah:30:9 @ that this [is] a rebellious people, lying sons. They are sons who will not hear the law of the LORD;

mkjv@Isaiah:30:10 @ who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy falsehood;

mkjv@Isaiah:30:11 @ go out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:12 @ Therefore so says the Holy One of Israel, Because you have despised this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rest on them;

mkjv@Isaiah:30:13 @ therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:14 @ And He shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that [is] broken in pieces. He shall have no pity, so that there shall not be found in the breaking of it a shard to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the pit.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:15 @ For so says the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; and in quietness and hope shall be your strength. And you were not willing.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:16 @ But you said, No; for we will flee on a horse. Therefore you shall flee. And [you said], We will ride on the swift; therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:17 @ One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five you [shall flee], until you are left as a pole on the top of a mountain, and as a sign on a hill.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:18 @ And so the LORD waits to be gracious to you. And therefore He is exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD [is] a God of judgment; blessed [are] all those who wait for Him.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:19 @ For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more; He will be very gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When He hears it, He will answer you.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:20 @ And the LORD gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction; yet your teachers shall not be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:21 @ And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This [is] the way, walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:22 @ You shall also defile the covering of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away like a menstruous cloth. You shall say to it, Get away.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:23 @ Then He shall give the rain [for] your seed, with which you sow the ground. And the bread of the produce of the earth also shall be fat and plentiful. In that day your cattle shall feed in large pastures.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:24 @ Also the oxen and the young asses that plow the ground shall eat clean fodder, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:25 @ And there shall be on every high mountain, and on every high hill, rivers, streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:26 @ And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the break of His people and heals the stroke of their wound.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:27 @ Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far, burning [with] His anger, and uplifting [of smoke]; His lips are full of fury, and His tongue like a devouring fire.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:28 @ And like an overflowing stream, His breath shall reach to the middle of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity. And a bridle [will be] in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to go astray.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:29 @ You shall have a song, as in the keeping of a holy feast night; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:30 @ And the LORD shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, and the bringing down of His arm shall be seen with raging anger and flame of a devouring fire, cloudburst and storm and hailstones.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:31 @ For through the voice of the LORD, the Assyrian shall be beaten down, [who] struck with a rod.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:32 @ And [in] every place which the ordained staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay on him, [it] shall be with tambourines and harps; in battles of shaking He will fight with them.

mkjv@Isaiah:30:33 @ For Tophet [is] ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared. He has made [it] deep and large. He makes great [with] fire and wood. The breath of the LORD kindles it, like a torrent of brimstone.

mkjv@Isaiah:31:1 @ Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean on horses and trust in chariots, because [it is] great; and in horsemen, because they are so very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek the LORD!
