akjv - Isaiah:56:9-57:13

akjv@Isaiah:56:9 @ All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yes, all you beasts in the forest.

akjv@Isaiah:56:10 @ His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

akjv@Isaiah:56:11 @ Yes, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

akjv@Isaiah:56:12 @ Come you, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

akjv@Isaiah:57:1 @ The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

akjv@Isaiah:57:2 @ He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

akjv@Isaiah:57:3 @ But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

akjv@Isaiah:57:4 @ Against whom do you sport yourselves? against whom make you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.

akjv@Isaiah:57:5 @ Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?

akjv@Isaiah:57:6 @ Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

akjv@Isaiah:57:7 @ On a lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even thither went you up to offer sacrifice.

akjv@Isaiah:57:8 @ Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you saw it.

akjv@Isaiah:57:9 @ And you went to the king with ointment, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your messengers far off, and did debase yourself even to hell.

akjv@Isaiah:57:10 @ You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved.

akjv@Isaiah:57:11 @ And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and you fear me not?

akjv@Isaiah:57:12 @ I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.

akjv@Isaiah:57:13 @ When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
