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:1:13" @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:1:23 @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:1:30 @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:2:3 @And many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us concerning His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For the law will go forth from Zion And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
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: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:3:2 @The mighty man and the warrior, The judge and the prophet, The diviner and the elder,
nasb@Isaiah:3:3 @The captain of fifty and the honorable man, The counselor and the expert artisan, And the skillful enchanter.
nasb@Isaiah:3:4 @And I will make mere lads their princes, And capricious children will rule over them,
nasb@Isaiah:3:5 @And the people will be oppressed, Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor; The youth will storm against the elder And the inferior against the honorable.
nasb@Isaiah:3:6 @When a man lays hold of his brother in his father's house, saying, "You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler, And these ruins will be under your charge,"
nasb@Isaiah:3:7 @He will protest on that day, saying, "I will not be your healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people."
nasb@Isaiah:3:8 @For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen, Because their speech and their actions are against the LORD, To rebel against His glorious presence.
nasb@Isaiah:3:9 @The expression of their faces bears witness against them, And they display their sin like Sodom; They do not even conceal it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves.
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:3:20 @headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets,
nasb@Isaiah:3:21 @finger rings, nose rings,
nasb@Isaiah:3:22 @festal robes, outer tunics, cloaks, money purses,
nasb@Isaiah:3:23 @hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.
nasb@Isaiah:3:24 @Now it will come about that instead of sweet perfume there will be putrefaction; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.
nasb@Isaiah:3:25 @Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty ones in battle.
nasb@Isaiah:3:26 @And her gates will lament and mourn, And deserted she will sit on the ground.
nasb@Isaiah:4:3 @It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy--everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem.
nasb@Isaiah:5:3" @And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge between Me and My vineyard.
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:5:23 @Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
nasb@Isaiah:5:30 @And it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress; Even the light is darkened by its clouds.
nasb@Isaiah:6:3 @And one called out to another and said, " Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory."
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:7:3 @Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the fuller's field,
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:7:23 @And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns.
nasb@Isaiah:7:3 @So I approached the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. Then the LORD said to me, "Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
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:8:3 @You shall multiply the nation, You shall increase their gladness; They will be glad in Your presence As with the gladness of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
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:9:3 @Now what will you do in the day of punishment, And in the devastation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your wealth?
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:9:23 @For a complete destruction, one that is decreed, the Lord GOD of hosts will execute in the midst of the whole land.
nasb@Isaiah:9:30 @Cry aloud with your voice, O daughter of Gallim! Pay attention, Laishah and wretched Anathoth!
nasb@Isaiah:9:31 @Madmenah has fled. The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.
nasb@Isaiah:9:32 @Yet today he will halt at Nob; He shakes his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
nasb@Isaiah:9:33 @Behold, the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will lop off the boughs with a terrible crash; Those also who are tall in stature will be cut down And those who are lofty will be abased.
nasb@Isaiah:9:34 @He will cut down the thickets of the forest with an iron axe, And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
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:10:13 @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:10:3 @Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.
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:11:13 @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: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:12:13" @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:12:23" @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:12:30" @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:14:3" @Give us advice, make a decision; Cast your shadow like night at high noon; Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.
nasb@Isaiah:14:13 @This is the word which the LORD spoke earlier concerning Moab.
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:14:13 @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: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:15:3" @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:15:13 @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.
nasb@Isaiah:15:23 @In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
nasb@Isaiah:16:3 @And the LORD said, "Even as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years as a sign and token against Egypt and Cush,
nasb@Isaiah:17:3 @For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.
nasb@Isaiah:17:13 @The oracle about Arabia. In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites.
nasb@Isaiah:18:3 @All your rulers have fled together, And have been captured without the bow; All of you who were found were taken captive together, Though they had fled far away.
nasb@Isaiah:18:13 @Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, Eating of meat and drinking of wine- " Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die."
nasb@Isaiah:18:23" @I will drive him like a peg in a firm place, And he will become a throne of glory to his father's house.
nasb@Isaiah:19:3 @And were on many waters. The grain of the Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the market of nations.
nasb@Isaiah:19:13 @Behold, the land of the Chaldeans--this is the people which was not; Assyria appointed it for desert creatures--they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, they made it a ruin.
nasb@Isaiah:20:3 @The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the LORD has spoken this word.
nasb@Isaiah:20:13 @For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, As the shaking of an olive tree, As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.
nasb@Isaiah:20:23 @Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, And His glory will be before His elders.
nasb@Isaiah:21:3 @Therefore a strong people will glorify You; Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
nasb@Isaiah:21:3" @The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You.
nasb@Isaiah:21:13 @O LORD our God, other masters besides You have ruled us; But through You alone we confess Your name.
nasb@Isaiah:22:3" @I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it every moment. So that no one will damage it, I guard it night and day.
nasb@Isaiah:22:13 @It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
nasb@Isaiah:23:1 @Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the fertile valley Of those who are overcome with wine!
nasb@Isaiah:23:2 @Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent; As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters, He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.
nasb@Isaiah:23:3 @The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trodden under foot.
nasb@Isaiah:23:4 @And the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the fertile valley, Will be like the first-ripe fig prior to summer, Which one sees, And as soon as it is in his hand, He swallows it.
nasb@Isaiah:23:5 @In that day the LORD of hosts will become a beautiful crown And a glorious diadem to the remnant of His people;
nasb@Isaiah:23:6 @A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment, A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
nasb@Isaiah:23:7 @And these also reel with wine and stagger from strong drink- The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, They are confused by wine, they stagger from strong drink; They reel while having visions, They totter when rendering judgment.
nasb@Isaiah:23:8 @For all the tables are full of filthy vomit, without a single clean place.
nasb@Isaiah:23:9" @To whom would He teach knowledge, And to whom would He interpret the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just taken from the breast?
nasb@Isaiah:23:10" @For He says, ' Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there.'"
nasb@Isaiah:23:11 @Indeed, He will speak to this people Through stammering lips and a foreign tongue,
nasb@Isaiah:23:12 @He who said to them, "Here is rest, give rest to the weary," And, "Here is repose," but they would not listen.
nasb@Isaiah:23:13 @So the word of the LORD to them will be, "Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there," That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.
nasb@Isaiah:23:14 @Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
nasb@Isaiah:23:15 @Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a pact. The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by, For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception."
nasb@Isaiah:23:16 @Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, " Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed.
nasb@Isaiah:23:17" @I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies And the waters will overflow the secret place.
nasb@Isaiah:23:18" @Your covenant with death will be canceled, And your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the overwhelming scourge passes through, Then you become its trampling place.
nasb@Isaiah:23:19" @As often as it passes through, it will seize you; For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night, And it will be sheer terror to understand what it means."
nasb@Isaiah:23:20 @The bed is too short on which to stretch out, And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in.
nasb@Isaiah:23:21 @For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon, To do His task, His unusual task, And to work His work, His extraordinary work.
nasb@Isaiah:23:22 @And now do not carry on as scoffers, Or your fetters will be made stronger; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts Of decisive destruction on all the earth.
nasb@Isaiah:23:23 @Give ear and hear my voice, Listen and hear my words.
nasb@Isaiah:23:24 @Does the farmer plow continually to plant seed? Does he continually turn and harrow the ground?
nasb@Isaiah:23:25 @Does he not level its surface And sow dill and scatter cummin And plant wheat in rows, Barley in its place and rye within its area?
nasb@Isaiah:23:26 @For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
nasb@Isaiah:23:27 @For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, Nor is the cartwheel driven over cummin; But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a club.
nasb@Isaiah:23:28 @Grain for bread is crushed, Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever. Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventually damage it, He does not thresh it longer.
nasb@Isaiah:23:29 @This also comes from the LORD of hosts, Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.
nasb@Isaiah:24:3 @I will camp against you encircling you, And I will set siegeworks against you, And I will raise up battle towers against you.
nasb@Isaiah:24:13 @Then the Lord said, "Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,
nasb@Isaiah:24:23 @But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, They will sanctify My name; Indeed, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob And will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
nasb@Isaiah:25:3" @Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.
nasb@Isaiah:25:13 @Therefore this iniquity will be to you Like a breach about to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,
nasb@Isaiah:25:23 @Then He will give you rain for the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture.
nasb@Isaiah:25:30 @And the LORD will cause His voice of authority to be heard, And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger, And in the flame of a consuming fire In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.
nasb@Isaiah:25:31 @For at the voice of the LORD Assyria will be terrified, When He strikes with the rod.
nasb@Isaiah:25:32 @And every blow of the rod of punishment, Which the LORD will lay on him, Will be with the music of tambourines and lyres; And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them.
nasb@Isaiah:25:33 @For Topheth has long been ready, Indeed, it has been prepared for the king. He has made it deep and large, A pyre of fire with plenty of wood; The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.
nasb@Isaiah:26:3 @Now the Egyptians are men and not God, And their horses are flesh and not spirit; So the LORD will stretch out His hand, And he who helps will stumble And he who is helped will fall, And all of them will come to an end together.
nasb@Isaiah:27:3 @Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.
nasb@Isaiah:27:13 @For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up; Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.
nasb@Isaiah:28:3 @At the sound of the tumult peoples flee; At the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.
nasb@Isaiah:28:13" @You who are far away, hear what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might."
nasb@Isaiah:28:23 @Your tackle hangs slack; It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly, Nor spread out the sail. Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided; The lame will take the plunder.
nasb@Isaiah:29:3 @So their slain will be thrown out, And their corpses will give off their stench, And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.
nasb@Isaiah:29:13 @Thorns will come up in its fortified towers, Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities; It will also be a haunt of jackals And an abode of ostriches.
nasb@Isaiah:30:1 @The wilderness and the desert will be glad, And the Arabah will rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus
nasb@Isaiah:30:2 @It will blossom profusely And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, The majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, The majesty of our God.
nasb@Isaiah:30:3 @Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble.
nasb@Isaiah:30:4 @Say to those with anxious heart, "Take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance; The recompense of God will come, But He will save you."
nasb@Isaiah:30:5 @Then the eyes of the blind will be opened And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
nasb@Isaiah:30:6 @Then the lame will leap like a deer, And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy. For waters will break forth in the wilderness And streams in the Arabah.
nasb@Isaiah:30:7 @The scorched land will become a pool And the thirsty ground springs of water; In the haunt of jackals, its resting place, Grass becomes reeds and rushes.
nasb@Isaiah:30:8 @A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it.
nasb@Isaiah:30:9 @No lion will be there, Nor will any vicious beast go up on it; These will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there,
nasb@Isaiah:30:10 @And the ransomed of the LORD will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, With everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
nasb@Isaiah:31:1 @Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and seized them.
nasb@Isaiah:31:2 @And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway of the fuller's field.
nasb@Isaiah:31:3 @Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to him.
nasb@Isaiah:31:4 @Then Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What is this confidence that you have?
nasb@Isaiah:31:5" @I say, 'Your counsel and strength for the war are only empty words.' Now on whom do you rely, that you have rebelled against me?
nasb@Isaiah:31:6" @Behold, you rely on the staff of this crushed reed, even on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.
nasb@Isaiah:31:7" @But if you say to me, 'We trust in the LORD our God,' is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar'?
nasb@Isaiah:31:8" @Now therefore, come make a bargain with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
nasb@Isaiah:31:9" @How then can you repulse one official of the least of my master's servants and rely on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
nasb@Isaiah:31:10" @Have I now come up without the LORD'S approval against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, 'Go up against this land and destroy it.'"'"
nasb@Isaiah:31:11 @Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, "Speak now to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak with us in Judean in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."
nasb@Isaiah:31:12 @But Rabshakeh said, "Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, doomed to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?"
nasb@Isaiah:31:13 @Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in Judean and said, "Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
nasb@Isaiah:31:14" @Thus says the king, 'Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you;
nasb@Isaiah:31:15 @nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, "The LORD will surely deliver us, this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
nasb@Isaiah:31:16 @'Do not listen to Hezekiah,' for thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me and come out to me, and eat each of his vine and each of his fig tree and drink each of the waters of his own cistern,
nasb@Isaiah:31:17 @until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
nasb@Isaiah:31:18 @'Beware that Hezekiah does not mislead you, saying, " The LORD will deliver us." Has any one of the gods of the nations delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
nasb@Isaiah:31:19 @'Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And when have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
nasb@Isaiah:31:20 @'Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their land from my hand, that the LORD would deliver Jerusalem from my hand?'"
nasb@Isaiah:31:21 @But they were silent and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, "Do not answer him."
nasb@Isaiah:31:22 @Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
nasb@Isaiah:32:1 @And when King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth and entered the house of the LORD.
nasb@Isaiah:32:2 @Then he sent Eliakim who was over the household with Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
nasb@Isaiah:32:3 @They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of distress, rebuke and rejection; for children have come to birth, and there is no strength to deliver.
nasb@Isaiah:32:4 @'Perhaps the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
nasb@Isaiah:32:5 @So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
nasb@Isaiah:32:6 @Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall say to your master, 'Thus says the LORD, " Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
nasb@Isaiah:32:7" @Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land. And I will make him fall by the sword in his own land."'"
nasb@Isaiah:32:8 @Then Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that the king had left Lachish.
nasb@Isaiah:32:9 @When he heard them say concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, "He has come out to fight against you," and when he heard it he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
nasb@Isaiah:32:10" @Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah, ' Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, "Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
nasb@Isaiah:32:11 @' Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them completely. So will you be spared?
nasb@Isaiah:32:12 @'Did the gods of those nations which my fathers have destroyed deliver them, even Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar?
nasb@Isaiah:32:13 @'Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena and Ivvah?'"
nasb@Isaiah:32:14 @Then Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD.
nasb@Isaiah:32:15 @Hezekiah prayed to the LORD saying,
nasb@Isaiah:32:16" @O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
nasb@Isaiah:32:17" @ Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see; and listen to all the words of Sennacherib, who sent them to reproach the living God.
nasb@Isaiah:32:18" @Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have devastated all the countries and their lands,
nasb@Isaiah:32:19 @and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them.
nasb@Isaiah:32:20" @Now, O LORD our God, deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, LORD, are God."
nasb@Isaiah:32:21 @Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent word to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Because you have prayed to Me about Sennacherib king of Assyria,
nasb@Isaiah:32:22 @this is the word that the LORD has spoken against him- "She has despised you and mocked you, The virgin daughter of Zion; She has shaken her head behind you, The daughter of Jerusalem!
nasb@Isaiah:32:23" @Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice And haughtily lifted up your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel!
nasb@Isaiah:32:24" @Through your servants you have reproached the Lord, And you have said, 'With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains, To the remotest parts of Lebanon; And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypresses. And I will go to its highest peak, its thickest forest.
nasb@Isaiah:32:25 @'I dug wells and drank waters, And with the sole of my feet I dried up All the rivers of Egypt.'
nasb@Isaiah:32:26" @ Have you not heard? Long ago I did it, From ancient times I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, That you should turn fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
nasb@Isaiah:32:27" @Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were as the vegetation of the field and as the green herb, As grass on the housetops is scorched before it is grown up.
nasb@Isaiah:32:28" @But I know your sitting down And your going out and your coming in And your raging against Me.
nasb@Isaiah:32:29" @Because of your raging against Me And because your arrogance has come up to My ears, Therefore I will put My hook in your nose And My bridle in your lips, And I will turn you back by the way which you came.
nasb@Isaiah:32:30" @Then this shall be the sign for you- you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
nasb@Isaiah:32:31" @The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.
nasb@Isaiah:32:32" @For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant and out of Mount Zion survivors. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."'
nasb@Isaiah:32:33" @Therefore, thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, 'He will not come to this city or shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield, or throw up a siege ramp against it.
nasb@Isaiah:32:34 @' By the way that he came, by the same he will return, and he will not come to this city,' declares the LORD.
nasb@Isaiah:32:35 @'For I will defend this city to save it for My own sake and for My servant David's sake.'"
nasb@Isaiah:32:36 @Then the angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, all of these were dead.
nasb@Isaiah:32:37 @So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and returned home and lived at Nineveh.
nasb@Isaiah:32:38 @It came about as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.
nasb@Isaiah:33:1 @In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, ' Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.'"
nasb@Isaiah:33:2 @Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
nasb@Isaiah:33:3 @and said, " Remember now, O LORD, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in Your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
nasb@Isaiah:33:4 @Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,
nasb@Isaiah:33:5" @Go and say to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of your father David, "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
nasb@Isaiah:33:6" @I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city."'
nasb@Isaiah:33:7" @This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that He has spoken-
nasb@Isaiah:33:8" @Behold, I will cause the shadow on the stairway, which has gone down with the sun on the stairway of Ahaz, to go back ten steps." So the sun's shadow went back ten steps on the stairway on which it had gone down.
nasb@Isaiah:33:9 @A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery-
nasb@Isaiah:33:10 @I said, " In the middle of my life I am to enter the gates of Sheol; I am to be deprived of the rest of my years."
nasb@Isaiah:33:11 @I said, "I will not see the LORD, The LORD in the land of the living; I will look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
nasb@Isaiah:33:12" @Like a shepherd's tent my dwelling is pulled up and removed from me; As a weaver I rolled up my life. He cuts me off from the loom; From day until night You make an end of me.
nasb@Isaiah:33:13" @I composed my soul until morning. Like a lion--so He breaks all my bones, From day until night You make an end of me.
nasb@Isaiah:33:14" @ Like a swallow, like a crane, so I twitter; I moan like a dove; My eyes look wistfully to the heights; O Lord, I am oppressed, be my security.
nasb@Isaiah:33:15" @ What shall I say? For He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done it; I will wander about all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
nasb@Isaiah:33:16" @O Lord, by these things men live, And in all these is the life of my spirit; O restore me to health and let me live!
nasb@Isaiah:33:17" @Lo, for my own welfare I had great bitterness; It is You who has kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back.
nasb@Isaiah:33:18" @For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your faithfulness.
nasb@Isaiah:33:19" @It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today; A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.
nasb@Isaiah:33:20" @The LORD will surely save me; So we will play my songs on stringed instruments All the days of our life at the house of the LORD."
nasb@Isaiah:33:21 @Now Isaiah had said, "Let them take a cake of figs and apply it to the boil, that he may recover."
nasb@Isaiah:33:22 @Then Hezekiah had said, "What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORDNULL"
nasb@Isaiah:34:1 @At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had been sick and had recovered.
nasb@Isaiah:34:2 @Hezekiah was pleased, and showed them all his treasure house, the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious oil and his whole armory and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
nasb@Isaiah:34:3 @Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, "What did these men say, and from where have they come to you?" And Hezekiah said, "They have come to me from a far country, from Babylon."
nasb@Isaiah:34:4 @He said, "What have they seen in your house?" So Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasuries that I have not shown them."
nasb@Isaiah:34:5 @Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD of hosts,
nasb@Isaiah:34:6 @'Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house and all that your fathers have laid up in store to this day will be carried to Babylon; nothing will be left,' says the LORD.
nasb@Isaiah:34:7 @'And some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will beget, will be taken away, and they will become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.'"
nasb@Isaiah:34:8 @Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good." For he thought, "For there will be peace and truth in my days."
nasb@Isaiah:34:40" @ Comfort, O comfort My people," says your God.
nasb@Isaiah:34:2" @ Speak kindly to Jerusalem; And call out to her, that her warfare has ended, That her iniquity has been removed, That she has received of the LORD'S hand Double for all her sins."
nasb@Isaiah:34:3 @A voice is calling, " Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.
nasb@Isaiah:34:4" @Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley;
nasb@Isaiah:34:5 @Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
nasb@Isaiah:34:6 @A voice says, "Call out." Then he answered, "What shall I call out?" All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
nasb@Isaiah:34:7 @The grass withers, the flower fades, When the breath of the LORD blows upon it; Surely the people are grass.
nasb@Isaiah:34:8 @The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.
