rotherham - Isaiah:30-32

rotherham@Isaiah:30:1 @ Alas! for sons who are rebellious, Declareth Yahweh. Executing a purpose, but not from me, And pouring out a libation but not from my spirit, That they may add sin to sin:

rotherham@Isaiah:30:2 @ Who are setting out to go down to Egypt, But at my mouth, have not asked, Betaking them to the protection of Pharaoh And seeking refuge under the shadow of Egypt.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:3 @ Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh become to you a shame, And, the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, an insult;

rotherham@Isaiah:30:4 @ For their princes have been, in Zoan, And, their messengers unto Hanes, would draw near.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:5 @ Every one, hath felt ashamed of a people that could not serve them, Neither with help, nor with service, But they are a shame, yea even a reproach.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:6 @ The Oracle on the Beasts of the South, Through a land of distress and oppression Lioness and lion coming therefrom, Viper and fiery flying serpent, They would carry, on the shoulders of young asses their wealth And on the humps of camels their treasures Unto a people that cannot serve them.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:7 @ But, the Egyptians, with vanity and emptiness, would help, Therefore have I proclaimed concerning this, Insolent, they sit still!

rotherham@Isaiah:30:8 @ Now, enter Write it upon a tablet before them And upon a scroll, inscribe it, That it may serve for a later day, For futurity, unto times age-abiding:

rotherham@Isaiah:30:9 @ That it is, a rebellious people, Sons apt at deceiving, Sons unwilling to hear the law of Yahweh:

rotherham@Isaiah:30:10 @ Who have said to the seers, Ye must not see! To the prophets, Ye must not prophesy to us reproofs! Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy delusions:

rotherham@Isaiah:30:11 @ Depart ye from the way, Turn aside from the path, Desist from setting before us the Holy One of Israel.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:12 @ Therefore Thus, saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye have rejected this word, And have trusted in oppression and perverseness, And have relied thereon,

rotherham@Isaiah:30:13 @ Therefore, shall this iniquity become to you As a breach ready to fall, A bulging in a high wall, Whose breaking down cometh, suddenly in a twinkling.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:14 @ Yea he will break itas the breaking of the pitcher of a potter, crushed, he will not spare; So that there shall not be found when it is smashed, A sherd wherewith to snatch fire from a hearth, Or to skim off water out of a cistern.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:15 @ For thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength, Howbeit ye would not!

rotherham@Isaiah:30:16 @ But ye said, Nay! but on horses, will we flee For this cause, shall ye indeed flee, And on the swift, will we ride, For this cause, swift, shall be your pursuers:

rotherham@Isaiah:30:17 @ One thousand, before the war-cry of onebefore the war-cry of five, shall ye flee, Until ye have been left, As a pole on the top of a mountain, And as an ensign upon a hill.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:18 @ And, therefore, will Yahweh wait, That he may grant you favour, And, therefore, will he lift himself up, That he may show you compassion, For A God of justice, is, Yahweh, How happy all they who are waiting for him

rotherham@Isaiah:30:19 @ For, a people, In Zion, shall dwell, In Jerusalem, As for weeping, thou shalt not weep! As for favour, he will grant thee favour, at the sound of thine outcry, As soon as he heareth, he hath answered thee!

rotherham@Isaiah:30:20 @ Though My Lord, should give you bread in short measure and water in scant allowance Yet will thy Teacher not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:21 @ So shall, thine own ears, hear a word from behind thee saying, This, is the way, walk ye therein, When ye would turn to the right hand Or when ye would turn to the left.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:22 @ Then will ye defile The overlaying of thy graven images of silver, And the coating of thy molten image, of gold, Thou wilt cash them away, as a woman the token of her sickness, Begone! shalt thou say thereto,

rotherham@Isaiah:30:23 @ Then will he give Rain for thy seedwherewith thou shalt sow thy ground and Bread as the increase of thy ground, which shall be fertile and fat, Thy cattle, in that day, shall feed in broad pasture:

rotherham@Isaiah:30:24 @ And the oxen and the young asses that till the ground, salted provender, shall eat, which hath been winnowed with shovel or fan.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:25 @ Then shall there be, On every lofty mountain and On every lifted bill, Channels, Conduits of water, In the great day of slaughter, When the towers fall.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:26 @ Then shall the light of the moon, 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 When Yahweh, bindeth up, the laceration of his people, and When the severe wound caused by smiting them, he healeth.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:27 @ Lo! the Name of Yahweh, coming in from afar, His anger kindling, A heavy storm, His lips, are full of indignation, And, his tongue, is like a fire that devoureth;

rotherham@Isaiah:30:28 @ And, his breath like an overflowing torrent, even unto the neck, doth reach, To sift nations with a sieve of calamity, A bridle leading to ruin, being upon the jaws of the peoples.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:29 @ A song, shall ye have, As in the night of hallowing a festival, And gladness of heart, As when one goeth with the flute to enter Into the mountain of Yahweh Unto the Rock of Israel.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:30 @ Then will Yahweh cause to be heardthe resounding of his voice And the bringing down of his arm, shall be seen, In a rage of anger, And with the flame of a devouring fire, A burst and a downpour, and a hailstone!

rotherham@Isaiah:30:31 @ For at the voice of Yahweh, shall Assyria be crushed, With his rod, will he smite.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:32 @ And it shall come to pass, that, every stroke of the staff of doom which Yahweh shall lay upon him, shall be with timbrels and with lyres, when, with battles of brandished weapons, he hath fought against them.

rotherham@Isaiah:30:33 @ For there hath been set in order, beforehand a Topheth, Yea, the same, for the king, hath been prepared He hath made it deepmade it large, The circumference thereof is for fire and wood in abundance, the breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of brimstone, is ready to kindle it.

rotherham@Isaiah:31:1 @ Alas! for them who are going down to Egypt for help, On horses, would rely, And have trusted In chariotsbecause they are many, and In horsemen, because they are very bold, But have not looked unto the Holy One of Israel, And onto Yahweh, have not sought.

rotherham@Isaiah:31:2 @ But, he also, is wise, and hath brought in calamity, And his own words, hath he not set aside, Therefore will he rise up, Against the house of evil-doers, and Against the help of the workers of iniquity.

rotherham@Isaiah:31:3 @ Now, the Egyptians, are, men, and not, GOD, And their horses, flesh, and not, spirit; When, Yahweh, shall stretch out his hand, Then I he that is giving help, shall stumble And I he that is receiving help shall fall, And together, shall all of them vanish!

rotherham@Isaiah:31:4 @ For Thus, hath Yahweh said unto me Like as a lion or a young lion growleth over his prey. Whothough there be called out against him a multitude of shepherds Will not at their voice, be dismayed, Nor, at their noise, be daunted, So, will Yahweh of hosts come down, to make war over Mount Zion, and over the hill thereof.

rotherham@Isaiah:31:5 @ As little mother-birds hovering, so, will Yahweh of hosts throw a covering ever Jerusalem, Covering, so will he rescue, Passing over, so will he deliver!

rotherham@Isaiah:31:6 @ Return ye unto him against whom the sons of Israel have deeply revolted,

rotherham@Isaiah:31:7 @ For in that day, will every man reject his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, Which your hands had made for you as a sin!

rotherham@Isaiah:31:8 @ Then shall the Assyrian fall, by the sword, not of a great man, And the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him, Howbeit he shall take his flight from the face of a sword, And his young men, shall come under tribute;

rotherham@Isaiah:31:9 @ And his own Cliff, through terror, shall he pass by, And his princes shall be dismayed at an ensign, Declareth Yahweh. Who hath a flame in Zion, And hath a furnace in Jerusalem.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:1 @ Lo! in righteousness, shall reign a king, Yea even princes, with equity, shall bear rule.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:2 @ So shall each one become As a hiding-place from the wind And a covert from the storm, As channels of water ill a dry place, As the shadow of a massive cliff in a weary land.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:3 @ And the eyes of them who are ready to see, shall not be closed, And, the ears of them who are ready to hear, shall hearken;

rotherham@Isaiah:32:4 @ And the heart of the hurried, shall take note of knowledge, And the tongue of stammerers, shall make haste to speak plainly.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:5 @ A base man, shall no longer be called, noble, Nor, knave, be named, liberal;

rotherham@Isaiah:32:6 @ For, a base man, with baseness, will speak, And, his heart, will practise iniquity, Practising profanity, And speaking, against Yahweh that which misleadeth, Emptying the soul of the hungry, And the drink of the thirsty, he causeth to fail;

rotherham@Isaiah:32:7 @ Yea, a knave, his weapons are wicked, He, base schemes, hath devised To ruin the oppressed with speeches of falsehood Even when the needy pleadeth, for justice.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:8 @ But, a noble man, noble things, hath devised, And, he, upon noble things, will stand,

rotherham@Isaiah:32:9 @ Ye women in comfort! arise hear my voice, Ye daughters so confident give ear to my speech:

rotherham@Isaiah:32:10 @ Some days beyond a year, ye shall be troubled ye confident ones, For failed hath the vintage, No, gathering, cometh in.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:11 @ Tremble, ye women in comfort, Be troubled ye daughters so confident, Strip! and bare yourselves, and gird some-what on your loins:

rotherham@Isaiah:32:12 @ Upon your breasts, continue smiting: For desirable fields, For fruitful vine.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:13 @ Over the soil of my people, thorns and briars shall grow, Yea over all houses of joy, thou city exultant!

rotherham@Isaiah:32:14 @ For the palace, is abandoned, the tumult of the city, hath ceased Hill and watch-tower, serve as caves, unto times age-abiding, The joy of wild-asses, The pasture of flocks:

rotherham@Isaiah:32:15 @ Until there be poured out upon us the spirit, from on high, Then shall the wilderness become, garden-land, And the garden-land, for a forest, be reckoned;

rotherham@Isaiah:32:16 @ Then shall, justice inhabit, the wilderness, And righteousness, in the garden-land, shall abide;

rotherham@Isaiah:32:17 @ And the yield of righteousness, shall be, peace, And the tillage of righteousness, quietness, and confidence! to times age-abiding;

rotherham@Isaiah:32:18 @ And my people shall dwell, In a borne of peace, and In habitations of security, and In resting-places of comfort.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:19 @ But it shall hail during the felling of the forest, And in a sunken place, shall, the city, sink.

rotherham@Isaiah:32:20 @ How happy are ye who sow beside all waters, Who send forth the foot of the ox and the ass.

rotherham@Isaiah:33:1 @ Alas! thou plunderer when, thou, hadst not been plundered, And thou traitor when they had not betrayed thee: When thou hast ceased plundering, thou shalt be plundered, When thou hast left off betraying, they shall betray thee.
