rotherham - Isaiah:7-8

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.
