Isaiah:1:1 @The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
nasb@Isaiah:1:2 @Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth; For the LORD speaks, " Sons I have reared and brought up, But they have revolted against Me.
nasb@Isaiah:1:3" @An ox knows its owner, And a donkey its master's manger, But Israel does not know, My people do not understand."
nasb@Isaiah:1:4 @Alas, sinful nation, People weighed down with iniquity, Offspring of evildoers, Sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned the LORD, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have turned away from Him.
nasb@Isaiah:1:5 @Where will you be stricken again, As you continue in your rebellion? The whole head is sick And the whole heart is faint.
nasb@Isaiah:1:6 @From the sole of the foot even to the head There is nothing sound in it, Only bruises, welts and raw wounds, Not pressed out or bandaged, Nor softened with oil.
nasb@Isaiah:1:7 @Your land is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire, Your fields--strangers are devouring them in your presence; It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers.
nasb@Isaiah:1:8 @The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, Like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
nasb@Isaiah:1:9 @Unless the LORD of hosts Had left us a few survivors, We would be like Sodom, We would be like Gomorrah.
nasb@Isaiah:1:10 @Hear the word of the LORD, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the instruction of our God, You people of Gomorrah.
nasb@Isaiah:1:11" @ What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats.
nasb@Isaiah:1:12" @When you come to appear before Me, Who requires of you this trampling of My courts?
nasb@Isaiah:1:13" @Bring your worthless offerings no longer, Incense is an abomination to Me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.
nasb@Isaiah:1:14" @I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
nasb@Isaiah:1:15" @So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
nasb@Isaiah:1:16" @ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil,
nasb@Isaiah:1:17 @Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow.
nasb@Isaiah:1:18" @Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, " Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.
nasb@Isaiah:1:19" @ If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land;
nasb@Isaiah:1:20" @But if you refuse and rebel, You will be devoured by the sword." Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
nasb@Isaiah:1:21 @How the faithful city has become a harlot, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once lodged in her, But now murderers.
nasb@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water.
nasb@Isaiah:1:23 @Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them.
nasb@Isaiah:1:24 @Therefore the Lord GOD of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, declares, "Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries And avenge Myself on My foes.
nasb@Isaiah:1:25" @I will also turn My hand against you, And will smelt away your dross as with lye And will remove all your alloy.
nasb@Isaiah:1:26" @Then I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning; After that you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful city."
nasb@Isaiah:1:27 @Zion will be redeemed with justice And her repentant ones with righteousness.
nasb@Isaiah:1:28 @But transgressors and sinners will be crushed together, And those who forsake the LORD will come to an end.
nasb@Isaiah:1:29 @Surely you will be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you will be embarrassed at the gardens which you have chosen.
nasb@Isaiah:1:30 @For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades away Or as a garden that has no water.
nasb@Isaiah:1:31 @The strong man will become tinder, His work also a spark. Thus they shall both burn together And there will be none to quench them.
nasb@Isaiah:2:1 @The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
nasb@Isaiah:2:10 @Enter the rock and hide in the dust From the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty.
nasb@Isaiah:2:11 @The proud look of man will be abased And the loftiness of man will be humbled, And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
nasb@Isaiah:2:12 @For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is proud and lofty And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be abased.
nasb@Isaiah:2:13 @And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up, Against all the oaks of Bashan,
nasb@Isaiah:2:14 @Against all the lofty mountains, Against all the hills that are lifted up,
nasb@Isaiah:2:15 @Against every high tower, Against every fortified wall,
nasb@Isaiah:2:16 @Against all the ships of Tarshish And against all the beautiful craft.
nasb@Isaiah:2:17 @The pride of man will be humbled And the loftiness of men will be abased; And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
nasb@Isaiah:2:18 @But the idols will completely vanish.
nasb@Isaiah:2:19 @Men will go into caves of the rocks And into holes of the ground Before the terror of the LORD And the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.
nasb@Isaiah:2:21 @In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs Before the terror of the LORD and the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.
nasb@Isaiah:3:1 @For behold, the Lord GOD of hosts is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread And the whole supply of water;
nasb@Isaiah:3:10 @Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their actions.
nasb@Isaiah:3:11 @Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him.
nasb@Isaiah:3:12 @O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And confuse the direction of your paths.
nasb@Isaiah:3:13 @The LORD arises to contend, And stands to judge the people.
nasb@Isaiah:3:14 @The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people, "It is you who have devoured the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
nasb@Isaiah:3:15" @What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the face of the poor?" Declares the Lord GOD of hosts.
nasb@Isaiah:3:16 @Moreover, the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are proud And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet,
nasb@Isaiah:3:17 @Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the LORD will make their foreheads bare."
nasb@Isaiah:3:18 @In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments,
nasb@Isaiah:3:19 @dangling earrings, bracelets, veils,
nasb@Isaiah:3:21 @finger rings, nose rings,
nasb@Isaiah:4:1 @For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!"
nasb@Isaiah:5:1 @Let me sing now for my well-beloved A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.
nasb@Isaiah:5:10" @For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one bath of wine, And a homer of seed will yield but an ephah of grain."
nasb@Isaiah:5:11 @Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink, Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!
nasb@Isaiah:5:12 @Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine; But they do not pay attention to the deeds of the LORD, Nor do they consider the work of His hands.
nasb@Isaiah:5:13 @Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; And their honorable men are famished, And their multitude is parched with thirst.
nasb@Isaiah:5:14 @Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat and opened its mouth without measure; And Jerusalem's splendor, her multitude, her din of revelry and the jubilant within her, descend into it.
nasb@Isaiah:5:15 @So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance abased, The eyes of the proud also will be abased.
nasb@Isaiah:5:16 @But the LORD of hosts will be exalted in judgment, And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
nasb@Isaiah:5:17 @Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, And strangers will eat in the waste places of the wealthy.
nasb@Isaiah:5:18 @Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood, And sin as if with cart ropes;
nasb@Isaiah:5:19 @Who say, "Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near And come to pass, that we may know it!"
nasb@Isaiah:5:21 @Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!
nasb@Isaiah:6:1 @In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.
nasb@Isaiah:6:10" @ Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed."
nasb@Isaiah:6:11 @Then I said, "Lord, how long?" And He answered, "Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are without people And the land is utterly desolate,
nasb@Isaiah:6:12" @The LORD has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
nasb@Isaiah:6:13" @Yet there will be a tenth portion in it, And it will again be subject to burning, Like a terebinth or an oak Whose stump remains when it is felled. The holy seed is its stump."
nasb@Isaiah:7:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not conquer it.
nasb@Isaiah:7:10 @Then the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
nasb@Isaiah:7:11" @Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; make it deep as Sheol or high as heaven."
nasb@Isaiah:7:12 @But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, nor will I test the LORD!"
nasb@Isaiah:7:13 @Then he said, "Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well?
nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign- Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
nasb@Isaiah:7:15" @He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good.
nasb@Isaiah:7:16" @ For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.
nasb@Isaiah:7:17" @The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house such days as have never come since the day that Ephraim separated from Judah, the king of Assyria."
nasb@Isaiah:7:18 @In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
nasb@Isaiah:7:19 @They will all come and settle on the steep ravines, on the ledges of the cliffs, on all the thorn bushes and on all the watering places.
nasb@Isaiah:7:21 @Now in that day a man may keep alive a heifer and a pair of sheep;
nasb@Isaiah:7:10" @ Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; State a proposal, but it will not stand, For God is with us."
nasb@Isaiah:7:11 @For thus the LORD spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
nasb@Isaiah:7:12" @You are not to say, 'It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.
nasb@Isaiah:7:13" @It is the LORD of hosts whom you should regard as holy. And He shall be your fear, And He shall be your dread.
nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Then He shall become a sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
nasb@Isaiah:7:15" @Many will stumble over them, Then they will fall and be broken; They will even be snared and caught."
nasb@Isaiah:7:16 @Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
nasb@Isaiah:7:17 @And I will wait for the LORD who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him.
nasb@Isaiah:7:18 @Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
nasb@Isaiah:7:19 @When they say to you, " Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
nasb@Isaiah:7:21 @They will pass through the land hard-pressed and famished, and it will turn out that when they are hungry, they will be enraged and curse their king and their God as they face upward.
nasb@Isaiah:8:1 @But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
nasb@Isaiah:8:10" @The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with smooth stones; The sycamores have been cut down, But we will replace them with cedars."
nasb@Isaiah:8:11 @Therefore the LORD raises against them adversaries from Rezin And spurs their enemies on,
nasb@Isaiah:8:12 @The Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west; And they devour Israel with gaping jaws. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.
nasb@Isaiah:8:13 @Yet the people do not turn back to Him who struck them, Nor do they seek the LORD of hosts.
nasb@Isaiah:8:14 @So the LORD cuts off head and tail from Israel, Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.
nasb@Isaiah:8:15 @The head is the elder and honorable man, And the prophet who teaches falsehood is the tail.
nasb@Isaiah:8:16 @For those who guide this people are leading them astray; And those who are guided by them are brought to confusion.
nasb@Isaiah:8:17 @Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men, Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking foolishness. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.
nasb@Isaiah:8:18 @For wickedness burns like a fire; It consumes briars and thorns; It even sets the thickets of the forest aflame And they roll upward in a column of smoke.
nasb@Isaiah:8:19 @By the fury of the LORD of hosts the land is burned up, And the people are like fuel for the fire; No man spares his brother.
nasb@Isaiah:8:21 @Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh, And together they are against Judah. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.
nasb@Isaiah:9:1 @Woe to those who enact evil statutes And to those who constantly record unjust decisions,
nasb@Isaiah:9:10" @As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
nasb@Isaiah:9:11 @Shall I not do to Jerusalem and her images Just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?"
nasb@Isaiah:9:12 @So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, "I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the pomp of his haughtiness."
nasb@Isaiah:9:13 @For he has said, "By the power of my hand and by my wisdom I did this, For I have understanding; And I removed the boundaries of the peoples And plundered their treasures, And like a mighty man I brought down their inhabitants,
nasb@Isaiah:9:14 @And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a nest, And as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; And there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped."
nasb@Isaiah:9:15 @Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it? Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it? That would be like a club wielding those who lift it, Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.
nasb@Isaiah:9:16 @Therefore the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will send a wasting disease among his stout warriors; And under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.
nasb@Isaiah:9:17 @And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame, And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.
nasb@Isaiah:9:18 @And He will destroy the glory of his forest and of his fruitful garden, both soul and body, And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
nasb@Isaiah:9:19 @And the rest of the trees of his forest will be so small in number That a child could write them down.
nasb@Isaiah:9:21 @A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
nasb@Isaiah:9:31 @Madmenah has fled. The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.
nasb@Isaiah:10:1 @Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
nasb@Isaiah:10:2 @The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.
nasb@Isaiah:10:3 @And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;
nasb@Isaiah:10:4 @But with righteousness He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
nasb@Isaiah:10:5 @Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, And faithfulness the belt about His waist.
nasb@Isaiah:10:6 @And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them.
nasb@Isaiah:10:7 @Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
nasb@Isaiah:10:8 @The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den.
nasb@Isaiah:10:9 @They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.
nasb@Isaiah:10:10 @Then in that day The nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious.
nasb@Isaiah:10:11 @Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea.
nasb@Isaiah:10:12 @And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.
nasb@Isaiah:10:13 @Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, And those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, And Judah will not harass Ephraim.
nasb@Isaiah:10:14 @They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; Together they will plunder the sons of the east; They will possess Edom and Moab, And the sons of Ammon will be subject to them.
nasb@Isaiah:10:15 @And the LORD will utterly destroy The tongue of the Sea of Egypt; And He will wave His hand over the River With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make men walk over dry-shod.
nasb@Isaiah:10:16 @And there will be a highway from Assyria For the remnant of His people who will be left, Just as there was for Israel In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
nasb@Isaiah:10:12 @Then you will say on that day, " I will give thanks to You, O LORD; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me.
nasb@Isaiah:10:2" @Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation."
nasb@Isaiah:10:3 @Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.
nasb@Isaiah:10:4 @And in that day you will say, " Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted."
nasb@Isaiah:10:5 @Praise the LORD in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth.
nasb@Isaiah:10:6 @Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.
nasb@Isaiah:11:1 @The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
nasb@Isaiah:11:2 @Lift up a standard on the bare hill, Raise your voice to them, Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles.
nasb@Isaiah:11:3 @I have commanded My consecrated ones, I have even called My mighty warriors, My proudly exulting ones, To execute My anger.
nasb@Isaiah:11:4 @A sound of tumult on the mountains, Like that of many people! A sound of the uproar of kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for battle.
nasb@Isaiah:11:5 @They are coming from a far country, From the farthest horizons, The LORD and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land.
nasb@Isaiah:11:6 @Wail, for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
nasb@Isaiah:11:7 @Therefore all hands will fall limp, And every man's heart will melt.
nasb@Isaiah:11:8 @They will be terrified, Pains and anguish will take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame.
nasb@Isaiah:11:9 @Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.
nasb@Isaiah:11:10 @For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light.
nasb@Isaiah:11:11 @Thus I will punish the world for its evil And the wicked for their iniquity; I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud And abase the haughtiness of the ruthless.
nasb@Isaiah:11:12 @I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold And mankind than the gold of Ophir.
nasb@Isaiah:11:13 @Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of hosts In the day of His burning anger.
nasb@Isaiah:11:14 @And it will be that like a hunted gazelle, Or like sheep with none to gather them, They will each turn to his own people, And each one flee to his own land.
nasb@Isaiah:11:15 @Anyone who is found will be thrust through, And anyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
nasb@Isaiah:11:16 @Their little ones also will be dashed to pieces Before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished.
nasb@Isaiah:11:17 @Behold, I am going to stir up the Medes against them, Who will not value silver or take pleasure in gold.
nasb@Isaiah:11:18 @And their bows will mow down the young men, They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb, Nor will their eye pity children.
nasb@Isaiah:11:19 @And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, the glory of the Chaldeans' pride, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
nasb@Isaiah:11:20 @It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; Nor will the Arab pitch his tent there, Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
nasb@Isaiah:11:21 @But desert creatures will lie down there, And their houses will be full of owls; Ostriches also will live there, and shaggy goats will frolic there.
nasb@Isaiah:11:22 @Hyenas will howl in their fortified towers And jackals in their luxurious palaces. Her fateful time also will soon come And her days will not be prolonged.
nasb@Isaiah:12:1 @When the LORD will have compassion on Jacob and again choose Israel, and settle them in their own land, then strangers will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob.
nasb@Isaiah:12:2 @The peoples will take them along and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them as an inheritance in the land of the LORD as male servants and female servants; and they will take their captors captive and will rule over their oppressors.
nasb@Isaiah:12:3 @And it will be in the day when the LORD gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and harsh service in which you have been enslaved,
nasb@Isaiah:12:4 @that you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased, And how fury has ceased!
nasb@Isaiah:12:5" @The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, The scepter of rulers
nasb@Isaiah:12:6 @Which used to strike the peoples in fury with unceasing strokes, Which subdued the nations in anger with unrestrained persecution.
nasb@Isaiah:12:7" @The whole earth is at rest and is quiet; They break forth into shouts of joy.
nasb@Isaiah:12:8" @Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 'Since you were laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.'
nasb@Isaiah:12:9" @ Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come; It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.
nasb@Isaiah:12:10" @ They will all respond and say to you, 'Even you have been made weak as we, You have become like us.
nasb@Isaiah:12:11 @'Your pomp and the music of your harps Have been brought down to Sheol; Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you And worms are your covering.'
nasb@Isaiah:12:12" @How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!
nasb@Isaiah:12:13" @But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north.
nasb@Isaiah:12:14 @'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'
nasb@Isaiah:12:15" @Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.
nasb@Isaiah:12:16" @Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,
nasb@Isaiah:12:17 @Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?'
nasb@Isaiah:12:18" @All the kings of the nations lie in glory, Each in his own tomb.
nasb@Isaiah:12:19" @But you have been cast out of your tomb Like a rejected branch, Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit Like a trampled corpse.
nasb@Isaiah:12:20" @You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever.
nasb@Isaiah:12:21" @Prepare for his sons a place of slaughter Because of the iniquity of their fathers. They must not arise and take possession of the earth And fill the face of the world with cities."
nasb@Isaiah:12:22" @I will rise up against them," declares the LORD of hosts, "and will cut off from Babylon name and survivors, offspring and posterity," declares the LORD.
nasb@Isaiah:12:23" @I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog and swamps of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," declares the LORD of hosts.
nasb@Isaiah:12:24 @The LORD of hosts has sworn saying, "Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand,
nasb@Isaiah:12:25 @to break Assyria in My land, and I will trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke will be removed from them and his burden removed from their shoulder.
nasb@Isaiah:12:26" @This is the plan devised against the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out against all the nations.
nasb@Isaiah:12:27" @For the LORD of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?"
nasb@Isaiah:12:28 @In the year that King Ahaz died this oracle came-
nasb@Isaiah:12:29" @Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, Because the rod that struck you is broken; For from the serpent's root a viper will come out, And its fruit will be a flying serpent.
nasb@Isaiah:12:30" @Those who are most helpless will eat, And the needy will lie down in security; I will destroy your root with famine, And it will kill off your survivors.
nasb@Isaiah:12:31" @Wail, O gate; cry, O city; Melt away, O Philistia, all of you; For smoke comes from the north, And there is no straggler in his ranks.
nasb@Isaiah:12:32" @How then will one answer the messengers of the nationNULL That the LORD has founded Zion, And the afflicted of His people will seek refuge in it."
nasb@Isaiah:13:1 @The oracle concerning Moab. Surely in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined; Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.
nasb@Isaiah:13:2 @They have gone up to the temple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba; Everyone's head is bald and every beard is cut off.
nasb@Isaiah:13:3 @In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth; On their housetops and in their squares Everyone is wailing, dissolved in tears.
nasb@Isaiah:13:4 @Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out, Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz; Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; His soul trembles within him.
nasb@Isaiah:13:5 @My heart cries out for Moab; His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah, For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping; Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin.
nasb@Isaiah:13:6 @For the waters of Nimrim are desolate. Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass died out, There is no green thing.
nasb@Isaiah:13:7 @Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up They carry off over the brook of Arabim.
nasb@Isaiah:13:8 @For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab, Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.
nasb@Isaiah:13:9 @For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon, A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
nasb@Isaiah:14:1 @Send the tribute lamb to the ruler of the land, From Sela by way of the wilderness to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
nasb@Isaiah:14:2 @Then, like fleeing birds or scattered nestlings, The daughters of Moab will be at the fords of the Arnon.
nasb@Isaiah:14:3" @Give us advice, make a decision; Cast your shadow like night at high noon; Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.
nasb@Isaiah:14:4" @Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely disappeared from the land.
nasb@Isaiah:14:5 @A throne will even be established in lovingkindness, And a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David; Moreover, he will seek justice And be prompt in righteousness.
nasb@Isaiah:14:6 @We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride; Even of his arrogance, pride, and fury; His idle boasts are false.
nasb@Isaiah:14:7 @Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail. You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth As those who are utterly stricken.
nasb@Isaiah:14:8 @For the fields of Heshbon have withered, the vines of Sibmah as well; The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts; Its tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.
nasb@Isaiah:14:9 @Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.
nasb@Isaiah:14:10 @Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field; In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting, No treader treads out wine in the presses, For I have made the shouting to cease.
nasb@Isaiah:14:11 @Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.
nasb@Isaiah:14:12 @So it will come about when Moab presents himself, When he wearies himself upon his high place And comes to his sanctuary to pray, That he will not prevail.
nasb@Isaiah:14:13 @This is the word which the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.
nasb@Isaiah:14:14 @But now the LORD speaks, saying, "Within three years, as a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and impotent."
nasb@Isaiah:14:17 @The oracle concerning Damascus. "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city And will become a fallen ruin.
nasb@Isaiah:14:2" @The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks to lie down in, And there will be no one to frighten them.
nasb@Isaiah:14:3" @The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, And sovereignty from Damascus And the remnant of Aram; They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel," Declares the LORD of hosts.
nasb@Isaiah:14:4 @Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
nasb@Isaiah:14:5 @It will be even like the reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears, Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain In the valley of Rephaim.
nasb@Isaiah:14:6 @Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives on the topmost bough, Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree, Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
nasb@Isaiah:14:7 @In that day man will have regard for his Maker And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.
nasb@Isaiah:14:8 @He will not have regard for the altars, the work of his hands, Nor will he look to that which his fingers have made, Even the Asherim and incense stands.
nasb@Isaiah:14:9 @In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken places in the forest, Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel; And the land will be a desolation.
nasb@Isaiah:14:10 @For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your refuge. Therefore you plant delightful plants And set them with vine slips of a strange god.
nasb@Isaiah:14:11 @In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in, And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom; But the harvest will be a heap In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.
nasb@Isaiah:14:12 @Alas, the uproar of many peoples Who roar like the roaring of the seas, And the rumbling of nations Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!
nasb@Isaiah:14:13 @The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters, But He will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind, Or like whirling dust before a gale.
nasb@Isaiah:14:14 @At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more. Such will be the portion of those who plunder us And the lot of those who pillage us.
nasb@Isaiah:15:1 @Alas, oh land of whirring wings Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush,
nasb@Isaiah:15:2 @Which sends envoys by the sea, Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, To a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide.
nasb@Isaiah:15:3 @All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth, As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see it, And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.
nasb@Isaiah:15:4 @For thus the LORD has told me, "I will look from My dwelling place quietly Like dazzling heat in the sunshine, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
nasb@Isaiah:15:5 @For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape, Then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives And remove and cut away the spreading branches.
nasb@Isaiah:15:6 @They will be left together for mountain birds of prey, And for the beasts of the earth; And the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them, And all the beasts of the earth will spend harvest time on them.
nasb@Isaiah:15:7 @At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the LORD of hosts From a people tall and smooth, Even from a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation, Whose land the rivers divide-- To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, even Mount Zion.
nasb@Isaiah:15:19 @The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt; The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
nasb@Isaiah:15:2" @So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians; And they will each fight against his brother and each against his neighbor, City against city and kingdom against kingdom.
nasb@Isaiah:15:3" @Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; And I will confound their strategy, So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead And to mediums and spiritists.
nasb@Isaiah:15:4" @Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel master, And a mighty king will rule over them," declares the Lord GOD of hosts.
nasb@Isaiah:15:5 @The waters from the sea will dry up, And the river will be parched and dry.
nasb@Isaiah:15:6 @The canals will emit a stench, The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up; The reeds and rushes will rot away.
nasb@Isaiah:15:7 @The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile And all the sown fields by the Nile Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
nasb@Isaiah:15:8 @And the fishermen will lament, And all those who cast a line into the Nile will mourn, And those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
nasb@Isaiah:15:9 @Moreover, the manufacturers of linen made from combed flax And the weavers of white cloth will be utterly dejected.
nasb@Isaiah:15:10 @And the pillars of Egypt will be crushed; All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.
nasb@Isaiah:15:11 @The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?
nasb@Isaiah:15:12 @Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.
nasb@Isaiah:15:13 @The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, The princes of Memphis are deluded; Those who are the cornerstone of her tribes Have led Egypt astray.
