lesserot - Isaiah:31-35

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: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.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:2 @ O Lord, be gracious; we have waited for thee: be thou their support every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:3 @ At the noise of thunder people fled; when thou liftedst thyself up nations were scattered.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:4 @ And your spoil shall be gathered as the cricket gathereth: as locusts run about, so shall people hasten after it.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:5 @ The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:6 @ And the stability of thy times and the strength of thy happiness shall be wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:7 @ Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:8 @ The highways lie waste, ceased hath the wayfaring traveler: he hath broken the covenant, he despiseth cities, he regardeth not man.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:9 @ It mourneth, it languisheththe land: Lebanon is ashamed, it is withered away; Sharon is become like a wilderness; and bereft of their fruits are Bashan and Carmel.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:10 @ Now will I arise, saith the Lord; now will I raise myself; now will I lift myself up.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:11 @ Ye shall be pregnant with hay, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire, which shall devour you.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:12 @ And the people shall be burnt as lime: as cutoff thorns shall they blaze up in fire.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:13 @ Hear, ye distant ones, what I have done; and acknowledge ye that are near my might.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:14 @ In Zion sinners are in dread; trembling hath seized on hypocrites. "Who among us shall abide with the devouring fire? who among us shall abide with everlasting burnings?"

lesserot@Isaiah:33:15 @ He that walketh in righteousness, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands against taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears against hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes against looking on evil;

lesserot@Isaiah:33:16 @ He shall dwell on high; rocky strongholds shall be his refuge: his bread shall be given him; his water shall be sure.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:17 @ The king in his beauty shall thy eyes behold: they shall see a faroff land.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:18 @ Thy heart shall meditate terror. "Where is who wrote down? where is he that weighed? where is he that counted the towers?"

lesserot@Isaiah:33:19 @ The barbarous people shalt thou not see any more, the people of a speech too obscure to be understood, of a stammering tongue, without meaning.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:20 @ Look on Zion, the town of our solemn assemblies; thy eyes shall see Jerusalem as an undisturbed residence, a tent that shall not be struck for removal; not one of the stakes of which shall ever be moved, and all the cords of which shall never be torn loose.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:21 @ But there will the Lord mighty unto us, a place of rivers and streams of ample breadth; wherein no oared galley shall go, and a gallant ship shall not pass thereby.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:22 @ For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:23 @ Loose hang thy tacklings; they cannot well uphold strongly their mast, they cannot spread the sail. Then are divided booty and spoil in abundance, the lame take the booty.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:24 @ And no inhabitant shall say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be one whose iniquity is forgiven.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:1 @ Come near, ye nations, to hear; and ye people, hearken: let the earth hear, and all that filleth it; the world, and all things that spring forth of it.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:2 @ For the indignation of the Lord is over all the nations, and his fury over all their army: he hath devoted them, he hath given them up to the slaughter:

lesserot@Isaiah:34:3 @ And their slain also shall be cast out, and as regardeth their carcasses their stench shall ascend upward, and the mountains shall be melted through their blood.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:4 @ And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together like a book: and all their host shall wither, as the leaf withereth from the vine, and as withering fruit from the figtree.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:5 @ For my sword is sated in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people I have devoted to punishment.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:6 @ The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is enriched with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:7 @ And wild oxen shall sink down with them, and steers with bullocks; and their land shall be sated with blood, and their dust enriched with fat.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:8 @ For it is the day of vengeance unto the Lord, and the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:9 @ And its brooks shall be changed into pitch, and its dust into sulfur, and its land shall become burning pitch.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:10 @ Night and day shall it not be quenched; for ever shall ascend the smoke thereof: from generation to generation shall it lie waste; no one shall for ever and ever pass through it.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:11 @ But pelican and hedgehog shall take possession of it; nightowl also and raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out over it the line of destruction, and the weights of desolation.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:12 @ Their noblesno one is there they could call the kingdom, and all its princes shall be no more.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:13 @ And thorns shall spring up in its palaces, nettles and brambles in its fortresses: and it shall be a habitation of monsters, and a court for ostriches.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:14 @ And the martens shall meet with the jackals, and one goat shall call to his fellow; only the screechowl shall rest there, and find for herself a place of repose.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:15 @ There shall nestle the arrowsnake, and lay eggs, and hatch, and gather its young under its shadow: only vultures shall assemble there, every one with her mate.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:16 @ Inquire out of the book of the Lord, and read: not one of these shall be absent, not one shall miss her mate; for my mouth it is that hath ordained it, and its breath it is that hath gathered them.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:17 @ And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it out unto them by the measuring line: for ever shall they possess it, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

lesserot@Isaiah:35:1 @ The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad thereat; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the lily.

lesserot@Isaiah:35:2 @ It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice, yea, with joy and singing; the glory of the Lebanon shall be given unto it, the elegance of Carmel and Sharon; they indeed shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

lesserot@Isaiah:35:6 @ Then shall the lame leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and brooks in the desert.

lesserot@Isaiah:35:7 @ And the sandy waste shall be changed into a pool, and the thirsty land into springs of water: in the habitation of monsters, where each one used to lie, shall be a court for reeds and rushes.

lesserot@Isaiah:35:8 @ And there shall be a highway and a way, and The holy way, shall it be called; no unclean one shall pass over it; but it shall be theirs; the wayfaring man, and those unacquainted, shall not go astray.

lesserot@Isaiah:35:9 @ No lion shall be there, and no ravenous beast shall go up thereon, shall not be found there; but there shall walk the redeemed:

lesserot@Isaiah:35:10 @ And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with song, with everlasting joy upon their head; gladness and joy shall they obtain, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:1 @ And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib the king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seized on them.
