lesserot - Isaiah:53-55

lesserot@Isaiah:53:1 @ Who would have believed our report? and the arm of the Lordover whom hath it been revealed?

lesserot@Isaiah:53:2 @ Yea, he grew up like a small shoot before him, and as a root out of a dry land: he had no form nor comeliness, so that we should look at him; and no countenance, so that we should desire him.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:3 @ He was despised and shunned by men; a man of pains, and acquainted with disease; and as one who hid his face from us was he despised, and we esteemed him not.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:4 @ But only our diseases did he bear himself, and our pains he carried: while we indeed esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:5 @ Yet he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and through his bruises was healing granted to us.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:6 @ We all like sheep went astray; every one to his own way did we turn; and the Lord let befall him the guilt of us all.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:7 @ He was oppressed, and he was also taunted, yet he opened not his mouth; like the lamb which is led to the slaughter, and like an ewe before her shearers is dumb; and he opened not his mouth.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:8 @ Through oppression and through judicial punishment was he taken away; but his generationwho could tell, that he was cut away out of the land of life, for the transgressions of my people the plague was laid on him?

lesserot@Isaiah:53:9 @ And he let his grave be made with the wicked, and with the rich at his death; although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:10 @ But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease: when his soul hath brought the trespassoffering, then shall he see seed, live many days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:11 @ from the trouble of his soul shall he see and be satisfied: through his knowledge shall my righteous servant bring the many to righteousness, while he will bear their iniquities.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:12 @ Therefore will I divide him with the many, and with the strong shall he divide the spoil; because he poured out his soul unto death, and with transgressors was he numbered: while he bore the sin of many, and for the transgressors he let befall him.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:1 @ Sing, O barren one, that thou hast not born: break forth into song, and rejoice aloud, that thou hast not travailed; for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:2 @ Enlarge the space of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations,spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

lesserot@Isaiah:54:3 @ For to the right and to the left shalt thou spread forth; and thy seed shall drive out nations, desolate cities shall they repeople.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:4 @ Fear not, for thou shalt not be made ashamed; and be not confounded, for thou shalt not be put to the blush; for the shame of thy youth shalt thou forget, and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou not remember any more.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:5 @ For thy husband is thy Maker, the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, "The God of all the earth," shall he be called.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:6 @ For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit did the Lord call thee back, and as a wife of youth, that was rejected, saith thy God.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:7 @ But for a brief moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I again receive thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:8 @ In a little wrath did I hide my face for a moment from thee; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith thy Redeemer the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:9 @ For as the waters of Noah is this unto me; as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more pass over the earth: so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:10 @ For the mountains may depart, and the hills may be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith he that hath mercy on thee, the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:11 @ O thou afflicted, tossed by the tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:12 @ And I will make of rubies thy battlements, and thy gates into carbunclestones, and all thy borders into precious stones.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:13 @ And all thy children shall be disciples of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:14 @ In righteousness shalt thou be established: keep far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near unto thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:15 @ Behold, they that assemble together, are nothing without me: whatsoever assembleth together against thee shall fall under thy power.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:16 @ Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have also created the waster to destroy.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:17 @ No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that will rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their due reward from me, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:1 @ Ho, every one of ye that thirsteth, come ye to the water, and he too that hath no money: come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy without money and without price wine and milk.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:2 @ Wherefore will ye spend money for what is not bread? and your labor for what satisfieth not? hearken then unto me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:3 @ Incline your ear, and come unto me, hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the promised mercies of David, which are sure.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:4 @ Behold, for a lawgiver unto the people have I appointed him, a prince and commander to the people.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:5 @ Behold, a nation thou knowest not shalt thou call, and a nation that knew thee not shall run unto thee; for the sake of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:6 @ Seek ye the Lord, while he may be found, call ye on him, while he is near.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:7 @ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of unrighteousness his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and unto our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:8 @ For not my thoughts are your thoughts, and not your ways are my ways, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:9 @ For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:10 @ For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not thither, but water the earth, and render it fruitful, and cause it to bring forth plants; and give seed to the sower and bread to him that eateth:

lesserot@Isaiah:55:11 @ So shall ever be my word which goeth forth from my mouth, it shall not return unto me without effect; but it accomplisheth what I desire, and it prospereth in that whereto I have sent it.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:12 @ For in joy shall ye go out, and in peace shall ye be brought home: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:13 @ Instead of the thorn shall come up the firtree, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be unto the Lord for a name, for a sign of everlasting that shall not be cut off.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:1 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Keep ye justice, and do equity; for near is my salvation to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
