lesserot - Isaiah:4-8

lesserot@Isaiah:4:1 @ And seven women shall take hold of one man on that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, take but away our reproach.

lesserot@Isaiah:4:2 @ On that day shall the sprout of the Lord be for ornament and for honor, and the fruit of the land for excellence and for glory for the escaped of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:4:3 @ And it shall come to pass, that whoever is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, every one that is written down unto life in Jerusalem:

lesserot@Isaiah:4:4 @ When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have scoured away the bloodguiltiness of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of destruction.

lesserot@Isaiah:4:5 @ And then will the Lord create upon every dwelling of mount Zion, and upon her places of assembly, a cloud and smoke by day, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a covering.

lesserot@Isaiah:4:6 @ And a tabernacle shall it be for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge, and for a covert from tempest and from rain.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:1 @ I will sing now for my beloved, the song of my dear one touching his vineyard. A vineyard had my beloved on a rich hilltop;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:2 @ And he fenced it in, and cleared it of stones, and planted it with the choicest vines, and built a tower in its midst, and also a winepress he hewed out therein: and he hoped that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth worthless fruit.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:3 @ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:4 @ What more was to be done to my vineyard, that I had not done in it? Why then did I hope that it should bring forth grapes, while it brought forth worthless fruit?

lesserot@Isaiah:5:5 @ And now I will let you know also what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten off; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden down;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:6 @ And I will lay it quite waste; it shall not be pruned, nor hoed around; and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns; and the clouds will I command that they send down no rain upon it.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he hoped for justice, but behold injustice; for equity, but behold iniquity.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:8 @ Woe unto those that cause house to join on house, bring field near to field, till there is no more room, so that ye may be left alone as the inhabitants in the midst of the land!

lesserot@Isaiah:5:9 @ In my ears the Lord of hosts, Truly many houses shall become desolate, yea, great and beautiful ones without an inhabitant.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:10 @ Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a chomerseed shall yield an ephah.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:11 @ Woe unto those that rise up early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink; that continue until late in the twilight, till wine inflame them!

lesserot@Isaiah:5:12 @ And there are harp and psaltery, tambourine and flute, and wine at their drinkingfeasts; but the deeds of the Lord they regard not, and the works of his hands they behold not.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:13 @ Therefore are my people led into exile, for want of knowledge: and their honorable men suffer of famine, and their multitude are panting with thirst.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:14 @ Therefore hath the deep enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure: and there descend glory, and her multitude, and her noise, and whoever rejoiced therein.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:15 @ And bent down shall be the son of earth, and humbled shall be the man, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:16 @ And the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be sanctified by righteousness.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:17 @ Then shall the sheep feed according to their wont, and the ruins of the fat ones shall sojourners eat.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:18 @ Woe unto those that draw iniquity with the cords of falsehood, and as with a wagonrope, sinfulness;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:19 @ That say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it: and let draw nigh and come the counsel of the Holy One of Israel, that we may know it!

lesserot@Isaiah:5:20 @ Woe unto those that say of the evil it is good, and of the good it is evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

lesserot@Isaiah:5:21 @ Woe unto those that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!

lesserot@Isaiah:5:22 @ Woe unto those that are heroes to drink wine, and men of might to mingle strong drink;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:23 @ Who justify the wicked in lieu of a bribe, and who deprive the righteous of their right!

lesserot@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and dry hay sinketh before the flame: so shall their root be as rotten things, and their blossom shall fly up as the dust; because they have despised the law of the Lord of hosts, and the word of the Holy One of Israel they have rejected.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:25 @ For this cause is kindled the anger of the Lord against his people, and he stretcheth forth his hand against them, and he smiteth them; and the mountains tremble, and their carcasses lie like sweepings in the midst of the streets: with all this his anger is not turned away, but still is his hand stretched out.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:26 @ And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from afar, and will call for one of them from the end of the earth; and, behold, with speed, swiftly, it cometh;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:27 @ There is none weary, nor stumbling among its men; it slumbereth not, it sleepeth not; not loosened is the girdle of its loins, not broken is the latchet of its shoes;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:28 @ Whose arrows are sharpened, and all whose bows are bent; its horses hoofs are hard like the flint, and its wheels like the whirlwind;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:29 @ It hath a roar like the lioness, it roareth like the young lions: yea, it growleth, and layeth hold of the prey, and carrieth it safely off, with none to deliver.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:30 @ And it will rage against them on that day like with the raging of the sea: and if one look unto the earth, behold, there is darkness, oppression, and the light is darkened through the darkness of its clouds.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:1 @ In the year of king Uzziyahus death I saw the Lord sitting upon a high and exalted throne, and his train filled the temple.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:2 @ Seraphim were standing around him, each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two did he fly.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:3 @ And one called unto the other, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:4 @ And the posts of the threshold shook at the voice of those that called aloud, and the house was filled with smoke.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:5 @ And I said, Woe is me! for I am lost; because a man of unclean lips am I, and in the midst of a people of unclean lips do I dwell; for the King, the Lord of hosts have my eyes seen.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:6 @ Then flew unto me one of the seraphim, and in his hand was a live coal, with the tongs had he taken it from off the altar:

lesserot@Isaiah:6:7 @ And he touched therewith upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is departed, and thy sin is forgiven.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:8 @ And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I: send me.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:9 @ And he said, Go, and say unto this people, Hear indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but know not.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:10 @ Obdurate will remain the heart of this people, and their ears will be heavy, and their eyes will be shut: so that they will not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor their hearts be understanding, so that they be converted, and healing be granted them.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:11 @ And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until that cities be left waste without an inhabitant, and houses without man, and the soil be made desolate as a wilderness,

lesserot@Isaiah:6:12 @ And the Lord will have removed far away the men, and the depopulation be great in the midst of the land.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:13 @ And should a tenth part thereof yet remain, it will again be swept away: like the terebinth and the oak, which, when they cast their leaves, retain their stems, so remaineth the holy seed, its stem.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:1 @ And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziyahu, the king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekach the son of Remalyahu, the king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it; but were not able to make an attack upon it.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told unto the house of David, saying, Syria is encamped with Ephraim; and his heart trembled, with the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are shaken before the wind.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:3 @ And the Lord said unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Achaz, thou with Shearyashub thy son, to the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the washers field;

lesserot@Isaiah:7:4 @ And thou shalt say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, and let thy heart not become faint because of these two stumps of smoking firebrands, before the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remalyahu.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:5 @ Forasmuch as Syria, Ephraim and the son of Remalyahu, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:7:6 @ Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up as king in the midst of it the son of Tabeal:

lesserot@Isaiah:7:7 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It shall not succeed, and it shall not come to pass.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more a people.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:9 @ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remalyahus son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not have permanence.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:10 @ And the Lord continued to speak unto Achaz, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:7:11 @ Ask thee a sign from the Lord thy God; ask it in the depth, or high up above.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:12 @ But Achaz said, I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:13 @ And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that ye will weary also my God?

lesserot@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: behold, this young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel,.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:15 @ Cream and honey shall he eat, so soon as he knoweth to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before yet the child shall know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, shall be forsaken the land, of the kings of which thou feelest dread.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:17 @ The Lord will bring over thee, and over thy people, and over thy fathers house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim withdrew from Judah,the king of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will call for the fly that is in the uttermost end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:19 @ And they shall come, and shall encamp, all of them, in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thornhedges, and upon all bushes.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:20 @ On the same day will the Lord shave with the razor that is hired, from among those on the other side of the river, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and also the beard shall it entirely remove.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:21 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that a man shall nourish one young cow, and two sheep;

lesserot@Isaiah:7:22 @ And it shall happen, that for the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat cream; for cream and honey shall eat every one that is left in the midst of the land.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:23 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that every place, where there are a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, shall be,yea, this shall be to briers and thorns.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:24 @ With arrows and with bows shall men enter thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:25 @ And all mountains that are worked with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: and they shall serve for the pasture of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:1 @ And the Lord said unto me, Take thyself a large table, and write on it with distinct letters, Lemahershalalchashbas.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I was to summon for myself trustworthy witnesses, Uriyah the priest, and Zecharyahu the son of Yeberechyahu.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:3 @ And I came near unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Mahershalalchashbas.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:4 @ For before yet the boy shall know to call, My father, and my mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:5 @ And the Lord continued to speak unto me again, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:8:6 @ Forasmuch as this people despiseth the waters of Shiloach that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remalyahus son:

lesserot@Isaiah:8:7 @ Yea therefore behold, the Lord bringeth up over them the strong and many waters of the river,the king of Assyria, and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and step over all his banks;

lesserot@Isaiah:8:8 @ And he shall penetrate into Judah, overflow and flood over, even to the neck shall he reach; and his outstretched wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:9 @ Associate yourselves, O ye people, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of the far portions of the earth: gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel together, yet shall it come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand firm; for with us is God.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:11 @ For thus said the Lord to me with the strength of prophecy, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:8:12 @ Call ye not a conspiracy all that this people may call a conspiracy, and what it feareth shall ye not fear, and be not terrified.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:13 @ The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your terror.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:14 @ And he will be for a sanctuary; but also for a stone of stumbling and for a rock to fall over unto both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:15 @ And many shall stumble over them, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and be caught.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind up the testimony, seal up the law among my disciples.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:17 @ And I will wait for the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope for him.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:18 @ Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for tokens in Israel, from the Lord of hosts who dwelleth on mount Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they shall say unto you, "Inquire of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards, that whisper, and that mutter:" should not a people inquire of their God? in behalf of the living of the dead?

lesserot@Isaiah:8:20 @ to the law and to the testimony: if they are not to speak according to this word, in which there is no light.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:21 @ And the shall pass through, hard oppressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they will become enraged, and curse their king and their god, and turn toward on high.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:22 @ And they will look unto the earth; and behold there are trouble and darkness, dimness of oppression, and they shall be scattered into obscurity.

lesserot@Isaiah:9:1 @
