lesserot - Isaiah:31-32

lesserot@Isaiah:31:1 @ Woe to those that go down to Egypt for help; and depend for support on horses, and trust on chariots, because they are many; and on horsemen, because they are very strong; but who turn not unto the Holy One of Israel, and seek not the Lord!

lesserot@Isaiah:31:2 @ Yet he also is wise, and bringeth evil, and taketh not back his words; and riseth up against the house of evildoers, and against the help of those that work injustice.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:3 @ But the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit; and the Lord will stretch out his hand, and there shall stumble the helper, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall perish together.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:4 @ For thus hath said the Lord unto me, Just as the lion or the young lion growleth over his prey, against whom is called forth the company of shepherds, of whose voice he is not afraid, and is not depressed because of their multitude: thus will the Lord come down, to fight on mount Zion and on its hill.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:5 @ As fluttering birds, so will the Lord of hosts shield Jerusalem; shielding and delivering; sparing and preserving.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:6 @ Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:7 @ For on that day shall every man despise his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:8 @ Then shall Asshur fall by the sword of one who is not a man; and the sword of one who is not a son of earth shall devour him; and he shall flee him from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:9 @ And his stronghold shall pass away for fear, and his princes shall be terrified because of the ensign, saith the Lord, who hath a fire in Zion, and a furnace in Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:1 @ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:2 @ And every one shall be as a hidingplace from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivulets of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a large rock in a languishing land.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:3 @ And the eyes of those that see shall not be blinded again, and the ears of those that hear shall hearken.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:4 @ The heart also of the rash shall be attentive in order to know, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:5 @ The worthless person shall be no more called liberal, and the avaricious man shall not be said to be bountiful.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:6 @ For the worthless person ever speaketh villany, and his heart will work injustice, to practise hypocrisy, and to speak error against the Lord, to leave empty the soul of the hungry, and the drink of the thirsty will he take away.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:7 @ The instruments also of the avaricious man are evil: he deviseth wicked resolves to destroy the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh what is right.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:8 @ But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and he ever persisteth by liberal things.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:9 @ Ye careless women rise up, hear my voice; ye daughters that are secure, give ear unto my speech.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:10 @ After days and years shall ye shudder, ye women that are secure; for ended is the vintage, the fruit gathering shall nowise come.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:11 @ Tremble, ye careless women; shudder, ye that are secure, strip off your garments and make yourselves bare, and gird upon the loins.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:12 @ on the breast, lamenting, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:13 @ Upon the soil of my people thorns and briers shall come up; yea, upon all the houses of joy of the gladsome town.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:14 @ Because the palace is abandoned, the tumult of the city is forsaken; the hill and watchtower are become dens for a long time, a joyous haunt for wild asses, a pasture for flocks.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:15 @ Until a spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be changed into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be accounted as a forest.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:16 @ Then shall justice dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:17 @ And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and security for ever.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:18 @ And then shall my people abide in peaceful dwellings, and secure abodes, and in undisturbed restingplaces.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:19 @ And it shall spread itself out in the declivity of the forest; and far down in the lowlands shall the city descend.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:20 @ Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, freely sending forth the feet of the ox and the ass.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:1 @ Woe to thee that wastest, while thou wast not wasted; and traitor, while men dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt have made an end of wasting, thou shalt be wasted, and when thou shalt have finished to deal treacherously, men shall deal treacherously with thee.
