lesserot - Isaiah:56:9-57:13

lesserot@Isaiah:56:9 @ All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, all ye beasts in the forest.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:10 @ His watchmen are all of them blind, they know nothing; they all are dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreamers, lying down, loving to slumber.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:11 @ But the dogs are of a greedy disposition, they know not how to be satisfied; and those are shepherds that know how to understand: they all turn to their own way, every one after his gain, from all quarters.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:12 @ Come ye, I will fetch wine, and let us swallow abundantly of strong drink; and like this day shall it be tomorrow, excellent and in very great abundance.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:1 @ The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and pious men are taken away, without one considering that before the evil the righteous is taken away.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:2 @ He shall come in peace: they shall repose in their restingplace, every one that walketh in his uprightness.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:3 @ But ye draw near hither, sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:4 @ Over whom will you make yourselves merry? concerning whom will you open wide your mouth, stretch out your tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

lesserot@Isaiah:57:5 @ That are inflamed after the idols under every green tree; that slaughter the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?

lesserot@Isaiah:57:6 @ Of the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured out a drinkoffering, hast thou offered a meatoffering. Shall I for these things repent me?

lesserot@Isaiah:57:7 @ Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou placed thy couch: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:8 @ And behind the doors and the doorposts hast thou placed thy remembrance; for from me, thou hast laid open, and art gone up,hast enlarged thy couch, and made thee a covenant with some of them; thou hast loved their lying with thee, hast selected a fitting place.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:9 @ And thou didst show thyself unto the king without ointment, and thou didst multiply thy perfumes, and thou didst send out thy messengers even into the faroff distance, and didst debase thyself even down to the nether world.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:10 @ Though thou art wearied by the length of thy way, yet saidst thou not, It is useless: thou hadst found enough for thy hand; therefore didst thou feel no care.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:11 @ And of whom hadst thou dread or fear, that thou becamest false, and didst not remember me, nor lay it to thy heart? is it not so? I kept silence, and this from earliest times, and therefore thou fearest me not!

lesserot@Isaiah:57:12 @ I, I ever tell thee thy righteousness; but thy worksthese indeed will not profit thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:13 @ When thou criest, let thy masses of idols deliver thee; but all of them will the wind carry away, a breath will take them off; but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
