rotherham - Isaiah:7-10

rotherham@Isaiah:7:1 @ And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, came up, to Jerusalem, to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria hath settled down upon Ephraim. Then shook his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of a forest shake before a wind.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:3 @ Then said Yahweh, unto Isaiah, Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, unto the end of the channel of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fullers field;

rotherham@Isaiah:7:4 @ and say unto him Take heed and keep thyself calmdo not fear, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two fag-ends of smoking firebrands, in spite of the glow of the anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:5 @ Because Syria, hath taken counsel against thee, for mischief, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,

rotherham@Isaiah:7:6 @ Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and break it open, for ourselves, and set up a king in the midst thereof, even the son of Tabeal,

rotherham@Isaiah:7:7 @ Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, It shall not stand Neither shall it come to pass!

rotherham@Isaiah:7:8 @ For, though the head of Syria is Damascus, And, the head of Damascus, is Rezin, Yet within threescore and five years more, shall Ephraim be broken that it shall not be a people;

rotherham@Isaiah:7:9 @ Even though the head of Ephraim is Samaria, And, the head of Samaria, is the son of Remaliah. If ye trust not, Surely, ye cannot be trusted!

rotherham@Isaiah:7:10 @ And again spake Yahweh unto Ahaz saying

rotherham@Isaiah:7:11 @ Ask thee a sign, of Yahweh thy God, Go down deep for a request, Or ascend on high!

rotherham@Isaiah:7:12 @ But Ahaz said, I will not ask Nor will I put Yahweh to the proof.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:13 @ Then said he Hear, I pray you, O house of David! Is it, too little, for you to weary men, that ye must weary even my God?

rotherham@Isaiah:7:14 @ Wherefore let My Lord Himself give you a sign, Lo! a Virgin, being with child and giving birth to a son, thou wilt call his name Immanuel.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:15 @ Curds and honey, shall he eat, by the time that he knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good;

rotherham@Isaiah:7:16 @ for before the boy knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good, forsaken shall be the land, at which, thou, art alarmed, of the presence of both her kings.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:17 @ Yahweh will bring upon thee and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have not come, from the day when Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass in that day that Yahweh will give a signal To the fly that is in the uttermost part of the Nile-canals of Egypt, And to the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:19 @ And they shall all of them come and settle down In the desolate torrent-valleys, And in the rents of the crags, And on all the thorn-bushes, And on all the pastures,

rotherham@Isaiah:7:20 @ In that day, will My Lord shave, with hired razor, even with them of the lands over the River Euphrates, with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, yea, even the beard, will it sweep off.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:21 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow and two sheep.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:22 @ Yea it shall come to pass for the abundance of the yield of milk, that he shall eat curds, for, curds and honey, shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:23 @ And it shall some to pass in that day, that, every place wherein there used to be a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver, yea, even for briars and thorns, shall it be.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:24 @ With arrows and with a bow, shall one come in thither, for briars and thorns, shall be all the land.

rotherham@Isaiah:7:25 @ But all the hills which, with the hoe, can be weeded, there shall not come thither, the fear of briars anti thorns, but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the tread of lesser cattle.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:1 @ And Yahweh said unto me: Take thee a large tablet, and write thereon in plain characters, To Maher-shalal-hash-baz. "Speed-spoil-hurry-prey".

rotherham@Isaiah:8:2 @ That I may take in attestation, faithful witnesses, even Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:3 @ Then approached I unto the prophetess, and she conceived and bare a son, and Yahweh said unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:4 @ For before the boy shall have knowledge to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:5 @ And again Yahweh spake unto me yet further saying:

rotherham@Isaiah:8:6 @ Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, and are rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,

rotherham@Isaiah:8:7 @ now therefore, lo! the Lord is about to bring up against them the waters, strong and many, of the River, even the king of Assyria and all his glory, and he shall rise over all his channels, and flow over all his banks; \fs15

rotherham@Isaiah:8:8 @ and roll on throughout Judahoverflow and pass along, till unto the neck, he shall reach, and it shall be, that, the stretching out of his wings, shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!

rotherham@Isaiah:8:9 @ Rage, O ye peoples, and be overthrown, And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth, Gird yourselves and be overthrown, Gird yourselves, and be overthrown:

rotherham@Isaiah:8:10 @ Determine a plan, and it shall be frustrated, Speak a word, and it shall not stand, For With-us-is-GOD!

rotherham@Isaiah:8:11 @ For, thus, spake Yahweh unto me like a firm grasp of the hand, when he admonished me, not to walk in the way of this people, saying:

rotherham@Isaiah:8:12 @ Ye shall not say A confederacy! of everything of which this people may say. A confederacy! And their fear, shall ye not fear or regard as awful:

rotherham@Isaiah:8:13 @ Yahweh of hosts, him, shall ye hallow, And let, him, be your fear, and let, him inspire you with awe;

rotherham@Isaiah:8:14 @ So shall he become a hallowed asylum, But a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over unto both houses of Israel A trap and a snare to the dweller in Jerusalem;

rotherham@Isaiah:8:15 @ And many, shall stumble among them, and fall and be torn, and snared, and captured.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind thou up the testimony, Seal the instruction amongst my disciples.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:17 @ I will therefore long for Yahweh, Who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, And will wait, for him.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:18 @ Lo! I and the children whom Yahweh hath given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, from Yahweh of hosts, who is making his habitation in Mount Zion.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:19 @ But, when they say unto you Seek ye unto the necromancers and unto the wizards, who chirp, and who mutter, Should not u people seek, unto its God? In behalf of the living, unto the dead?

rotherham@Isaiah:8:20 @ To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word,, because they have no dawning day.

rotherham@Isaiah:8:21 @ Therefore shall they pass through it hard pressed and hungry, And it shall be when they hunger, then will they rage and revile their king and their god and turn their faces upwards;

rotherham@Isaiah:8:22 @ And unto the land, shall they look hard, And lo! distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, driven away!

rotherham@Isaiah:9:1 @ For there is no gloom to her who had been in anguish, In the former time, he brought into dishonour The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, In the latter time, hath he brought into honour The Lake-way over the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:2 @ the people who were walking in darkness, Have seen a great light, The dwellers in a land death-shadowed, A light, hath shined upon them.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:3 @ Thou hast increased the exultation Thou hast made great the joy, They joy before thee, according to the joy of harvest, As men exult when they distribute spoil.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:4 @ For, the yoke of their burden, The cross-bar of their shoulder, The goad of their driver, Hast thou broken, as in the day of Midian.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:5 @ Surely, every boot of one tramping in tumult, and the war-cloak rolled in blood Then shall serve for burning, food for fire;

rotherham@Isaiah:9:6 @ For, A Child, hath been born to us, A Son, hath been given to us, And the dominion is upon his shoulder, And his Name hath been called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty GOD, Father of Futurity, Prince of Prosperity.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:7 @ Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness, From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!

rotherham@Isaiah:9:8 @ A word, hath My Lord, sent unto Jacob, And it shall alight on Israel;

rotherham@Isaiah:9:9 @ and the people shall all of them know Ephraim and the dweller in Samaria Who in pride and insolence of heart, are saying:

rotherham@Isaiah:9:10 @ Bricks, have fallen down But with hewn stone, will we build, Sycomores, have been felled, But with cedars, will we replace them.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:11 @ Therefore will Yahweh strengthen the adversaries of Resin against him, And his enemies will he arouse:

rotherham@Isaiah:9:12 @ Syrians before and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth, For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:13 @ Yet, the people, have not turned unto him that smote them, And Yahweh of hosts, have they not sought.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:14 @ Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel Head and tail Palm-top and rush, In one day.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:15 @ The eider and favourite, he, is the head, And the prophet teaching falsehood, he, is the tail;

rotherham@Isaiah:9:16 @ And they who should have led this people forward have been causing them to stray, And, they who are led of them are destroyed,

rotherham@Isaiah:9:17 @ For this cause, over their choice young men, will My Lord not rejoice, And on their fatherless and their widows, will he not have compassion, For every one of them, is profane and an evildoer, And, every mouth is speaking baseness, For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:18 @ For lawlessness, hath consumed like fire, Briars and thorns, doth it devour, Yea it hath kindled upon the thickets of the forest, And they have rolled up as a column of smoke.

rotherham@Isaiah:9:19 @ Through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, is the land consumed, And the people have come to be, as fuel for fire, A man unto his own brother, sheweth not pity;

rotherham@Isaiah:9:20 @ And he hath slain on the right, and yet is hungry, And hath eaten on the left, yet are they not satisfied, Every one, the flesh of his own arm, will they eat:

rotherham@Isaiah:9:21 @ Manasseh Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh, They togetheragainst Judah, For all this, hath his anger not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:1 @ Alas! for them who ordain iniquitous decree, And, busy writers, who make a business of writing mischief:

rotherham@Isaiah:10:2 @ Turning aside from judgment, the poor, And robbing, of justice, the oppressed of my people, So that, widows, become, their spoil, And of the fatherless, they make prey.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:3 @ What, then, will ye do for the day of visitation, And for the devastation, which from afar, shall come? Unto whom, will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your gory?

rotherham@Isaiah:10:4 @ Without me, one hath bowed under a prisoner Yea under the slain, do they fall! For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:5 @ Alas! for Assyria, the rod of mine anger, Yea, the very staff in their hand, is, my displeasure:

rotherham@Isaiah:10:6 @ Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him, To capture spoil And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:7 @ But as for him, not so, doth he deem, And in his heart, not so, doth he think, For, to destroy, is in his heart, And to cut off nations, not a few;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:8 @ For he saith: Are not, my generals, all alike, kings?

rotherham@Isaiah:10:9 @ Is not, Calno, like Carchemish? Is not, Hamath, like Arpad? Is not, Samaria, like Damascus?

rotherham@Isaiah:10:10 @ As my hand hath reached unto the kingdoms of idols, whose images did excel them of Jerusalem and Samaria,

rotherham@Isaiah:10:11 @ Shall I not as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so, do to Jerusalem and her images?

rotherham@Isaiah:10:12 @ Wherefore it shall come to pass When My Lord shall finish his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will bring punishment Upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the king of Assyria. And upon the vainglory of his uplifted eyes,

rotherham@Isaiah:10:13 @ For he hath said By the strength of mine own hand, have I effectually wrought, And by my wisdomfor I have discernment, That I might remove the bounds of peoples, Yea their treasures, have I plundered That I might lay prostrate as a mighty one the inhabitants;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:14 @ And my hand hath found as a nest the wealth of the peoples, And as the gathering of eggs that are forsaken, all the earth, have, I, gathered, And there was none to flap a wing, or open a mouth or chirp.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:15 @ Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what is, not wood!

rotherham@Isaiah:10:16 @ Therefore, shall the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Send, among his fat ones, leanness, And under his glory, shall he kindle a kindling, like the kindling of fire;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:17 @ So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume his thorns and his briars, in one day;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:18 @ And the glory of his forest and of his garden land, both soul and body, shall it bring to an end, And it shall be like the wasting away of a consumptive.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:19 @ And, the remnant of his forest-trees, few in number, shall become, yea, a child, might describe them!

rotherham@Isaiah:10:20 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, That the remnant of Israel. And the escaped of the house of Jacob Shall, no more again, lean upon him that smote them, But shall lean upon Yahweh the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:21 @ A remnant, shall return, The remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty GOD;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:22 @ For though thy people, O Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, A remnant, shall return of them, A full end decreed, bringeth in, justice, like a flood;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:23 @ For, a full end and that a decreed one, is My Lord Yahweh of hosts executing in the midst of all the earth.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:24 @ Therefore, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Do not fear O my people dwelling in Zion, because of Assyria, When with his rod, he would smite thee, And when his staff, he would lift up against thee in the manner of Egypt;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:25 @ For, yet a very little while, and displeasure shall end, Yea, mine anger, over their destruction.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:26 @ And Yahweh of hosts, will brandish over him, a scourge Like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his staff being over the sea, He will lift it up in the manner of Egypt;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:27 @ And it shall come to pass, in that day, That his burden shall remove from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, Yea, the yoke shall be broken because of fatness.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:28 @ He hath come in unto Ayyath, Hath passed through Migron, At Michmash, storeth his baggage:

rotherham@Isaiah:10:29 @ They have passed over the pare, Geba is his halting-place, Terror-stricken is Ramah, Gibeah of Saul, hath fled!

rotherham@Isaiah:10:30 @ Make shrill thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah, Answer, O Anathoth!

rotherham@Isaiah:10:31 @ Madmenah, hath fled, The inhabitants of Gebim, have gone into safety:

rotherham@Isaiah:10:32 @ While yet to-day, in Nob, he tarrieth, He brandisheth his hand toward The mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.

rotherham@Isaiah:10:33 @ Behold! the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is about to lop off a tree-crown, with a crash, Then shall, they who are lifted on high, be hewn down, And, the lofty, be laid low;

rotherham@Isaiah:10:34 @ Then will he fell the thickets of the forest with iron, And, Lebanon by a majestic one shall fall.

rotherham@Isaiah:11:1 @ But there shall come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse, And, a sprout from his roots, shall bear fruit; And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest upon him,
