lesserot@Isaiah:5:1 @ I will sing now for my beloved, the song of my dear one touching his vineyard. A vineyard had my beloved on a rich hill–top;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:2 @ And he fenced it in, and cleared it of stones, and planted it with the choicest vines, and built a tower in its midst, and also a winepress he hewed out therein: and he hoped that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth worthless fruit.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:3 @ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:6 @ And I will lay it quite waste; it shall not be pruned, nor hoed around; and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns; and the clouds will I command that they send down no rain upon it.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:21 @ Woe unto those that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!

lesserot@Isaiah:5:22 @ Woe unto those that are heroes to drink wine, and men of might to mingle strong drink;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:23 @ Who justify the wicked in lieu of a bribe, and who deprive the righteous of their right!

lesserot@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore as the tongue of the fire devoureth the stubble, and dry hay sinketh before the flame: so shall their root be as rotten things, and their blossom shall fly up as the dust; because they have despised the law of the Lord of hosts, and the word of the Holy One of Israel they have rejected.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:25 @ For this cause is kindled the anger of the Lord against his people, and he stretcheth forth his hand against them, and he smiteth them; and the mountains tremble, and their carcasses lie like sweepings in the midst of the streets: with all this his anger is not turned away, but still is his hand stretched out.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:26 @ And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from afar, and will call for one of them from the end of the earth; and, behold, with speed, swiftly, it cometh;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:27 @ There is none weary, nor stumbling among its men; it slumbereth not, it sleepeth not; not loosened is the girdle of its loins, not broken is the latchet of its shoes;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:28 @ Whose arrows are sharpened, and all whose bows are bent; its horses hoofs are hard like the flint, and its wheels like the whirlwind;

lesserot@Isaiah:5:29 @ It hath a roar like the lioness, it roareth like the young lions: yea, it growleth, and layeth hold of the prey, and carrieth it safely off, with none to deliver.

lesserot@Isaiah:5:30 @ And it will rage against them on that day like with the raging of the sea: and if one look unto the earth, behold, there is darkness, oppression, and the light is darkened through the darkness of its clouds.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:1 @ In the year of king ‘Uzziyahu’s death I saw the Lord sitting upon a high and exalted throne, and his train filled the temple.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:2 @ Seraphim were standing around him, each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two did he fly.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:3 @ And one called unto the other, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:4 @ And the posts of the threshold shook at the voice of those that called aloud, and the house was filled with smoke.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:5 @ And I said, Woe is me! for I am lost; because a man of unclean lips am I, and in the midst of a people of unclean lips do I dwell; for the King, the Lord of hosts have my eyes seen.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:6 @ Then flew unto me one of the seraphim, and in his hand was a live coal, with the tongs had he taken it from off the altar:

lesserot@Isaiah:6:7 @ And he touched therewith upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is departed, and thy sin is forgiven.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:8 @ And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I: send me.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:9 @ And he said, Go, and say unto this people, Hear indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but know not.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:10 @ Obdurate will remain the heart of this people, and their ears will be heavy, and their eyes will be shut: so that they will not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor their hearts be understanding, so that they be converted, and healing be granted them.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:11 @ And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until that cities be left waste without an inhabitant, and houses without man, and the soil be made desolate as a wilderness,

lesserot@Isaiah:6:12 @ And the Lord will have removed far away the men, and the depopulation be great in the midst of the land.

lesserot@Isaiah:6:13 @ And should a tenth part thereof yet remain, it will again be swept away: like the terebinth and the oak, which, when they cast their leaves, retain their stems, so remaineth the holy seed, its stem.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:1 @ And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Jotham, the son of ‘Uzziyahu, the king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekach the son of Remalyahu, the king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it; but were not able to make an attack upon it.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told unto the house of David, saying, Syria is encamped with Ephraim; and his heart trembled, with the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are shaken before the wind.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:3 @ And the Lord said unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Achaz, thou with Shear–yashub thy son, to the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the washer’s field;

lesserot@Isaiah:7:4 @ And thou shalt say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, and let thy heart not become faint because of these two stumps of smoking firebrands, before the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remalyahu.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:5 @ Forasmuch as Syria, Ephraim and the son of Remalyahu, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:7:6 @ Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up as king in the midst of it the son of Tabeal:

lesserot@Isaiah:7:7 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It shall not succeed, and it shall not come to pass.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more a people.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:9 @ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remalyahu’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not have permanence.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:10 @ And the Lord continued to speak unto Achaz, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:7:11 @ Ask thee a sign from the Lord thy God; ask it in the depth, or high up above.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:12 @ But Achaz said, I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:13 @ And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that ye will weary also my God?

lesserot@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: behold, this young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and she shall call his name ‘Immanu–el,.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:15 @ Cream and honey shall he eat, so soon as he knoweth to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before yet the child shall know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, shall be forsaken the land, of the kings of which thou feelest dread.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:17 @ The Lord will bring over thee, and over thy people, and over thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim withdrew from Judah,––the king of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will call for the fly that is in the uttermost end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:19 @ And they shall come, and shall encamp, all of them, in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn–hedges, and upon all bushes.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:20 @ On the same day will the Lord shave with the razor that is hired, from among those on the other side of the river, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and also the beard shall it entirely remove.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:21 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that a man shall nourish one young cow, and two sheep;

lesserot@Isaiah:7:22 @ And it shall happen, that for the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat cream; for cream and honey shall eat every one that is left in the midst of the land.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:23 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that every place, where there are a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, shall be,––yea, this shall be to briers and thorns.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:24 @ With arrows and with bows shall men enter thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

lesserot@Isaiah:7:25 @ And all mountains that are worked with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: and they shall serve for the pasture of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:1 @ And the Lord said unto me, Take thyself a large table, and write on it with distinct letters, Lemaher–shalal–chash–bas.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I was to summon for myself trustworthy witnesses, Uriyah the priest, and Zecharyahu the son of Yeberechyahu.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:3 @ And I came near unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher–shalal–chash–bas.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:4 @ For before yet the boy shall know to call, My father, and my mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:5 @ And the Lord continued to speak unto me again, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:8:6 @ Forasmuch as this people despiseth the waters of Shiloach that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remalyahu’s son:

lesserot@Isaiah:8:7 @ Yea therefore behold, the Lord bringeth up over them the strong and many waters of the river,––the king of Assyria, and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and step over all his banks;

lesserot@Isaiah:8:8 @ And he shall penetrate into Judah, overflow and flood over, even to the neck shall he reach; and his outstretched wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O ‘Immanu–el.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:9 @ Associate yourselves, O ye people, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of the far portions of the earth: gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel together, yet shall it come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand firm; for with us is God.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:11 @ For thus said the Lord to me with the strength of prophecy, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:8:12 @ Call ye not a conspiracy all that this people may call a conspiracy, and what it feareth shall ye not fear, and be not terrified.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:13 @ The Lord of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your terror.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:14 @ And he will be for a sanctuary; but also for a stone of stumbling and for a rock to fall over unto both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:15 @ And many shall stumble over them, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and be caught.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind up the testimony, seal up the law among my disciples.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:17 @ And I will wait for the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope for him.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:18 @ Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for tokens in Israel, from the Lord of hosts who dwelleth on mount Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they shall say unto you, "Inquire of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards, that whisper, and that mutter:" should not a people inquire of their God? in behalf of the living of the dead?

lesserot@Isaiah:8:20 @ to the law and to the testimony: if they are not to speak according to this word, in which there is no light.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:21 @ And the shall pass through, hard oppressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they will become enraged, and curse their king and their god, and turn toward on high.

lesserot@Isaiah:8:22 @ And they will look unto the earth; and behold there are trouble and darkness, dimness of oppression, and they shall be scattered into obscurity.

lesserot@Isaiah:20:4 @ So shall the king of Assyria lead away the prisoners of Egypt, and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with uncovered buttocks, to the disgrace of Egypt.

lesserot@Isaiah:20:5 @ And they shall be terrified, and ashamed of Cush their trust, and of Egypt their vaunt.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:2 @ A hard vision hath been told unto me; the traitor dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. "Go up, O ‘Elam; besiege, O Media;" all sighing have I caused to cease.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:3 @ Therefore are my loins filled with pain; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I am too much cramped to hear; I am too much dismayed to see.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:4 @ My heart wandereth astray, dread affrighteth me: the evening of my pleasure hath he turned unto me into terror.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:5 @ Prepare the table, put on the candlesticks, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:6 @ For thus hath said unto me the Lord, Go, set the watchman, what he seeth let him tell.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:7 @ And he will see chariots, horsemen in couples, riders on asses, riders on camels; and he shall listen diligently with much heed:

lesserot@Isaiah:21:8 @ And he calleth a lion, Upon the watchtower, O Lord, do I stand continually in the daytime, and on my ward am I set all the nights.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:9 @ And, behold, here cometh a chariot with men, horsemen in couples, and he commenceth and saith, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods hath he shivered unto the ground.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:10 @ O my down–trodden and the son of my threshingfloor: that which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I told unto you.

lesserot@Isaiah:21:11 @ The doom of Dumah. Unto me one calleth out of Se’ir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

lesserot@Isaiah:22:19 @ And I will cast thee out from thy station, and from thy post shall he pull thee down.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:20 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will call my servant, for Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:21 @ And I will clothe him with thy robe, and thy girdle will I fasten around him, and thy government will I place into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

lesserot@Isaiah:22:22 @ And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; so that he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

lesserot@Isaiah:23:14 @ Wail, ye ships of Tharshish; your stronghold is laid waste.

lesserot@Isaiah:23:15 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, like the days of one king: at the end of seventy years shall it happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot.

lesserot@Isaiah:23:16 @ "Take the harp, go round about the city, thou forgotten harlot; make sweet music, sing many songs, in order that thou mayest be remembered."

lesserot@Isaiah:23:17 @ And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall have commerce with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:1 @ Behold, the Lord maketh empty the land, and layeth it waste, marreth its surface, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:2 @ And it shall be with the people as with the priest; with the servant as with his master; with the bondwoman as with her mistress; with the buyer as with the seller; with the lender as with the borrower; with the debtor as with his creditor.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:3 @ Empty, emptied out shall be the land, and spoiled, utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:4 @ The land mourneth, withereth away, the world languishes, withereth away, the high ones of the people of the land do languish.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:5 @ For the land was defiled under its inhabitants; because they had transgressed the laws, neglected the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:6 @ Therefore hath the curse devoured the land, and they that dwell therein suffer for their guilt; therefore are the inhabitants of the land dried up, and but few men are left.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:12 @ Destruction is left in the city, in ruins is beaten the gate.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:13 @ For thus shall it be in the midst of the land among the nations, as the shaking of an olive–tree, as the gleaning of grains when the vintage is done.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:18 @ And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the call of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for the windows from on high are opened, and there quaked the foundations of the earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:19 @ Crushed entirely is the earth, split in pieces is the earth, shaken to its centre is the earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:20 @ The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and vibrateth like a watch–hut; and heavily lieth upon it its transgression; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:21 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will visit punishment on the host of heaven in heaven, and on the kings of the earth upon the earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:22 @ And they shall be gathered in heaps, as prisoners, in the prison, and shall be shut up in the dungeon, and thus after many days shall they be punished.

lesserot@Isaiah:24:23 @ And the moon shall be put to the blush, and the sun be made ashamed; for the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.

lesserot@Isaiah:25:1 @ O Lord, my God art thou; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, resolves of distant times faithful confirmation.

lesserot@Isaiah:25:2 @ For thou hast made of a city a stone–heap; of a fortified town a falling ruin; the palace of barbarians ceaseth out of the city, to eternity shall it not be rebuilt.

lesserot@Isaiah:25:3 @ Therefore shall a strong people honor thee; the town of the tyrannical nations shall fear thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:25:4 @ For thou hast become a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy when he is distressed; a protection from the tempest, a shadow from the heat; for the breath of the tyrants is like the tempest against a wall.

lesserot@Isaiah:25:5 @ Like heat in a dry land, wilt thou subdue the tumult of the barbarians; as the heat by the shadow of the cloud, so will he subdue the song of the tyrants.

lesserot@Isaiah:25:6 @ And the Lord of hosts will make unto all the nations on this mountain a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

lesserot@Isaiah:25:7 @ And he will destroy on this mountain the face of the covering which covereth all the people, and the vail that is spread over all the nations.

lesserot@Isaiah:25:8 @ He will destroy death to eternity: and the Lord Eternal will wipe away the tear from off all faces; and the shame of his people will he remove from off all the earth; for the Lord hath spoken it.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:6 @ The foot shall tread it down, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:7 @ The path of the just is straight: thou, most upright, dost ever level the road of the just.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:8 @ Yea, on the path of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; for thy name, and for the remembrance of thee, was the longing of our soul.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:9 @ In my soul have I longed for thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek for thee; for when thy judgments are on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:12 @ Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for also all our works hast thou accomplished for us.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:13 @ O Lord our God, lords have had dominion over us beside thee; of thee only would we make mention,––of thy name.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:14 @ dead, they will not live; departed, they will not rise; therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made to perish every memorial of them.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:15 @ Thou hast done more for the nation, O Lord, thou hast done more for the nation; thou hast glorified thyself: thou hast enlarged all the ends of the earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:16 @ Lord, in trouble have they sought thee, they poured out earnest prayers when thy chastening was upon them.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:17 @ Like as a pregnant woman, that is near giving birth, is in pain, crieth out in her pangs: so have we been in thy presence, O Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:18 @ We have been pregnant and in pain, as though we brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the land; and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:19 @ Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing ye, that dwell in the dust; for a dew on herbs is thy dew, and the earth shall cast out the departed.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:20 @ Go, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy door behind thee: hide thyself but for a little moment, until the indignation be passed away.

lesserot@Isaiah:26:21 @ For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth on them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more be a cover over her slain.

lesserot@Isaiah:27:1 @ On that day will the Lord punish with his heavy and great and strong sword leviathan the flying serpent, and leviathan the crooked servant; and he will slay the crocodile that is in the sea.

lesserot@Isaiah:27:2 @ On that day sing ye a song of the vineyard of excellent wine.

lesserot@Isaiah:27:3 @ "I the Lord do keep it; every moment will I water it: that no one shall hurt it, night and day will I keep it.

lesserot@Isaiah:27:8 @ In measure, by driving him forth, thou strivest with him: he removed him with his violent storm on the day of the east wind.

lesserot@Isaiah:27:9 @ Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be atoned; and this shall be all the fruit of the taking away of his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as limestones that are beaten in pieces, when there shall not arise again any groves and sun–images.

lesserot@Isaiah:27:10 @ For the fortified city shall be desolate, the habitation be forsaken, and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall it lie down, and consume its branches.

lesserot@Isaiah:27:11 @ When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off; women will come and set them on fire; for it is not a people of understanding; therefore he that made it will not have mercy on it, and he that formed it will show it no favor.

lesserot@Isaiah:28:9 @ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he give to understand doctrine? those that are weaned from the milk, those that are taken from the breasts.

lesserot@Isaiah:28:17 @ And I will make of justice a measuring line, and of righteousness a plummet: and the hail shall sweep off the refuge of lies, and the hiding–place against the waters shall these flood away.

lesserot@Isaiah:28:18 @ And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with the nether world shall not have permanence; the overflowing scourge, when it passeth by––then shall ye be trodden down by it.

lesserot@Isaiah:28:19 @ As often as it passeth by shall it take you; for morning by morning shall it pass by, by day and by night; and the mere understanding of the report shall cause terror.

lesserot@Isaiah:28:25 @ Is it not so? that, when he hath made level its surface he scattereth fennel, and streweth about cumin, and planteth the wheat in rows, and barley on its assigned, and millet on its proper spot?

lesserot@Isaiah:28:26 @ For his God instructed him rightly, taught him.

lesserot@Isaiah:28:27 @ Truly not with a threshing instrument is fennel threshed, and a wagon–wheel is not turned about upon cumin; but fennel is beaten out with a staff, and cumin with a stick.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:8 @ And it shall even be as when a hungry man dreameth, that, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when a thirsty man dreameth, that, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul yet longeth: so shall it be with the multitude of all the nations, that go to war against mount Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:9 @ Stay but still and wonder; turn your eyes away, and be blinded; they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:10 @ For the Lord hath poured out over you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets, and your chiefs, the seers, hath he cast a vail.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:11 @ And the vision of every thing is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

lesserot@Isaiah:29:12 @ And the book is then delivered to one that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot read.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:13 @ And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is but the acquired precept of men;

lesserot@Isaiah:29:14 @ Therefore, behold, I will do yet farther a marvelous work with this people, doing wonder on wonder; so that the wisdom of their wise men shall be lost, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:15 @ Woe unto those that seek to hide deeply their counsel from the Lord, so that their works may be in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

lesserot@Isaiah:29:16 @ Oh your perverseness! shall the potter be esteemed as the clay? that the work shall say of its maker, He hath not made me? or shall the thing framed say of its framer, He had no understanding?

lesserot@Isaiah:29:17 @ Lo! but yet a very little while more, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest!

lesserot@Isaiah:29:18 @ And on that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and out of obscurity, and out of darkness, shall the eyes of the blind see.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:19 @ And the sufferers shall have abundant joy in the Lord, and the needy among men shall be glad in the Holy One of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:20 @ For the tyrant is no more, and consumed is the scorner, and cut off are all that watch for injustice;

lesserot@Isaiah:29:21 @ That cause mankind to sin by word; and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate; and pervert through fraud the cause of the just.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:22 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord unto the house of Jacob, he who hath redeemed Abraham, Not now shall Jacob be ashamed, and not now shall his face be made pale.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:23 @ For when he seeth his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him, how they sanctify my name: then will they sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and the God of Israel will they reverence.

lesserot@Isaiah:29:24 @ They also that were erring in spirit shall acquire understanding, and they that murmured shall obtain instruction.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:1 @ Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not from me; and that set themselves a ruler, but not by my spirit, in order that they may add sin to sin:

lesserot@Isaiah:30:2 @ That travel to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my will; to strengthen themselves through the strength of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!

lesserot@Isaiah:30:3 @ Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh become your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your disgrace.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:4 @ For his princes were at Zo’an, and his ambassadors had reached Chanes.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:5 @ They all are ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, neither be a help nor give profit; but shame, and also a reproach.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:6 @ The doom of the beasts of the south: Through the land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying dragons, they will carry upon the shoulders of young asses their riches, and upon the humps of camels their treasures, to a people that cannot profit.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:7 @ And the Egyptians will help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called this, Boasters they are in sitting still.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:8 @ Now go, write it before them on a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the latest time to come, for ever, and to eternity:

lesserot@Isaiah:30:9 @ For this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

lesserot@Isaiah:30:10 @ Who have said to the seers, Ye shall not see; and to the prophets, Reveal not unto us true things, speak unto us smooth things, reveal deceits;

lesserot@Isaiah:30:11 @ Depart you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, remove from before us the Holy One of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:12 @ Therefore thus hath said the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean thereon for aid:

lesserot@Isaiah:30:13 @ Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a threatening breach, swelling out in a high–towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:14 @ And he will break it, as one breaketh a potter’s vessel, dashing it in pieces without sparing it; so that there cannot be found among its fragments a sherd to rake fire from a hearth and to draw water from a pit.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:15 @ For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, the Holy One of Israel, In repose and rest shall ye be helped; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:16 @ And ye said, "No; for upon horses will we flee;" therefore shall ye flee: and, "Upon swift beasts will we ride;" therefore shall your pursuers be swift.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:17 @ One thousand at the threatening of one; at the threatening of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a pole upon a mountain–top, and as an ensign on a hill.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:18 @ And therefore will the Lord wait, to be gracious unto you, and therefore will he exalt himself, to have mercy upon you; for a God of justice is the Lord: happy are all those that wait for him.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:19 @ For O people of Zion that shall dwell at Jerusalem! thou shalt indeed not weep: he will be surely gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; so soon as he heareth it, he answereth thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:20 @ And the Lord will give you bread adversity, and water oppression; and thy teachers shall not have to hide themselves in a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:

lesserot@Isaiah:30:21 @ And thy ears shall hear the word behind thee, saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it," when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:22 @ And ye will regard as unclean the covering of thy graven idols of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou wilt cast them away as a filthy thing; "Get thee hence," wilt thou say unto them.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:23 @ Then will he give the rain for thy seed, that thou mayest sow in the ground; and bread––the produce of the ground––this shall be fat and nutritious: thy cattle shall feed on that day in extensive pastures.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:24 @ The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:25 @ And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every prominent hill, rivulets, streams of waters on the day of the great slaughter, when towers fall.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:26 @ And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, on the day that the Lord bindeth up the broken of his people, and healeth the bruise of their wound.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:27 @ Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from afar, burning is his anger, and heavy the smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire;

lesserot@Isaiah:30:28 @ And his breath, like an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to toss the nations with the van of falsehood: and a deceiving bridle on the jaws of the people.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:29 @ shall ye have a song, as in the night when a festival is ushered in, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with the flute to come unto the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:30 @ And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard, and will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of hail.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:31 @ For because of the voice of the Lord shall be terrified Asshur, that smote with the rod.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:32 @ And at every passage of the appointed staff which the Lord will let fall on him, there shall be on tambourine and harp; and in the tumult of battles will he fight with them.

lesserot@Isaiah:30:33 @ For already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king––deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:1 @ Woe to those that go down to Egypt for help; and depend for support on horses, and trust on chariots, because they are many; and on horsemen, because they are very strong; but who turn not unto the Holy One of Israel, and seek not the Lord!

lesserot@Isaiah:31:2 @ Yet he also is wise, and bringeth evil, and taketh not back his words; and riseth up against the house of evil–doers, and against the help of those that work injustice.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:3 @ But the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit; and the Lord will stretch out his hand, and there shall stumble the helper, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall perish together.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:4 @ For thus hath said the Lord unto me, Just as the lion or the young lion growleth over his prey, against whom is called forth the company of shepherds, of whose voice he is not afraid, and is not depressed because of their multitude: thus will the Lord come down, to fight on mount Zion and on its hill.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:5 @ As fluttering birds, so will the Lord of hosts shield Jerusalem; shielding and delivering; sparing and preserving.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:6 @ Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:7 @ For on that day shall every man despise his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:8 @ Then shall Asshur fall by the sword of one who is not a man; and the sword of one who is not a son of earth shall devour him; and he shall flee him from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary.

lesserot@Isaiah:31:9 @ And his stronghold shall pass away for fear, and his princes shall be terrified because of the ensign, saith the Lord, who hath a fire in Zion, and a furnace in Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:1 @ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:2 @ And every one shall be as a hiding–place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivulets of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a large rock in a languishing land.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:3 @ And the eyes of those that see shall not be blinded again, and the ears of those that hear shall hearken.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:4 @ The heart also of the rash shall be attentive in order to know, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:5 @ The worthless person shall be no more called liberal, and the avaricious man shall not be said to be bountiful.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:6 @ For the worthless person ever speaketh villany, and his heart will work injustice, to practise hypocrisy, and to speak error against the Lord, to leave empty the soul of the hungry, and the drink of the thirsty will he take away.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:7 @ The instruments also of the avaricious man are evil: he deviseth wicked resolves to destroy the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh what is right.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:8 @ But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and he ever persisteth by liberal things.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:9 @ Ye careless women rise up, hear my voice; ye daughters that are secure, give ear unto my speech.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:10 @ After days and years shall ye shudder, ye women that are secure; for ended is the vintage, the fruit gathering shall nowise come.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:11 @ Tremble, ye careless women; shudder, ye that are secure, strip off your garments and make yourselves bare, and gird upon the loins.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:12 @ on the breast, lamenting, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:13 @ Upon the soil of my people thorns and briers shall come up; yea, upon all the houses of joy of the gladsome town.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:14 @ Because the palace is abandoned, the tumult of the city is forsaken; the hill and watch–tower are become dens for a long time, a joyous haunt for wild asses, a pasture for flocks.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:15 @ Until a spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be changed into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be accounted as a forest.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:16 @ Then shall justice dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:17 @ And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and security for ever.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:18 @ And then shall my people abide in peaceful dwellings, and secure abodes, and in undisturbed resting–places.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:19 @ And it shall spread itself out in the declivity of the forest; and far down in the lowlands shall the city descend.

lesserot@Isaiah:32:20 @ Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, freely sending forth the feet of the ox and the ass.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:1 @ Woe to thee that wastest, while thou wast not wasted; and traitor, while men dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt have made an end of wasting, thou shalt be wasted, and when thou shalt have finished to deal treacherously, men shall deal treacherously with thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:2 @ O Lord, be gracious; we have waited for thee: be thou their support every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:3 @ At the noise of thunder people fled; when thou liftedst thyself up nations were scattered.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:4 @ And your spoil shall be gathered as the cricket gathereth: as locusts run about, so shall people hasten after it.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:5 @ The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high; he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:6 @ And the stability of thy times and the strength of thy happiness shall be wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:7 @ Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:8 @ The highways lie waste, ceased hath the wayfaring traveler: he hath broken the covenant, he despiseth cities, he regardeth not man.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:9 @ It mourneth, it languisheth––the land: Lebanon is ashamed, it is withered away; Sharon is become like a wilderness; and bereft of their fruits are Bashan and Carmel.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:10 @ Now will I arise, saith the Lord; now will I raise myself; now will I lift myself up.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:11 @ Ye shall be pregnant with hay, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire, which shall devour you.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:13 @ Hear, ye distant ones, what I have done; and acknowledge ye that are near my might.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:14 @ In Zion sinners are in dread; trembling hath seized on hypocrites. "Who among us shall abide with the devouring fire? who among us shall abide with everlasting burnings?"

lesserot@Isaiah:33:15 @ He that walketh in righteousness, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands against taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears against hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes against looking on evil;

lesserot@Isaiah:33:20 @ Look on Zion, the town of our solemn assemblies; thy eyes shall see Jerusalem as an undisturbed residence, a tent that shall not be struck for removal; not one of the stakes of which shall ever be moved, and all the cords of which shall never be torn loose.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:21 @ But there will the Lord mighty unto us, a place of rivers and streams of ample breadth; wherein no oared galley shall go, and a gallant ship shall not pass thereby.

lesserot@Isaiah:33:22 @ For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:1 @ Come near, ye nations, to hear; and ye people, hearken: let the earth hear, and all that filleth it; the world, and all things that spring forth of it.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:2 @ For the indignation of the Lord is over all the nations, and his fury over all their army: he hath devoted them, he hath given them up to the slaughter:

lesserot@Isaiah:34:4 @ And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together like a book: and all their host shall wither, as the leaf withereth from the vine, and as withering fruit from the fig–tree.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:5 @ For my sword is sated in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people I have devoted to punishment.

lesserot@Isaiah:34:6 @ The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is enriched with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

lesserot@Isaiah:35:10 @ And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with song, with everlasting joy upon their head; gladness and joy shall they obtain, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:1 @ And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib the king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seized on them.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:2 @ And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a strong army. And he halted by the aqueduct of the upper pool on the highway of the washer’s field.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:4 @ And Rabshakeh said unto them,––Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus hath said the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherewith thou hast trusted?

lesserot@Isaiah:36:5 @ I have said, but it was only a word uttered with the lips, counsel and strength for the war. Now, on whom didst thou trust, that thou rebelledst against me?

lesserot@Isaiah:36:6 @ Behold, thou trustedst on yon cracked reed–staff, on Egypt; which, if a man lean on it, will enter into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh the king of Egypt to all that trust on him.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:7 @ But if thou shouldst say to me, In the Lord our God have we trusted: is he not the one whose high–places and whose altars Hezekiah hath removed, when he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar shall ye prostrate yourselves?

lesserot@Isaiah:36:8 @ And now I pray thee, enter into a contest with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:9 @ How then wilt thou turn back the face of a single chieftain of the least of my masters’ servants, while thou hast put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

lesserot@Isaiah:36:10 @ And now am I come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it? The Lord hath said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:11 @ Then said Elyakim and Shebna and Yoach unto Rabshakeh, Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jewish language, before the ears of the people that are on the wall.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:12 @ But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master then sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? is it not rather to the men who sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own excrements, and drink their own urine with you?

lesserot@Isaiah:36:13 @ Then stood Rabshakeh up, and called out in a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.

lesserot@Isaiah:36:14 @ Thus hath said the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you;

lesserot@Isaiah:37:3 @ And they said unto him, Thus hath said Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of derision is this day; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:4 @ Perhaps the Lord thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to blaspheme the living God, and who hath reproached with the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is still found here.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:5 @ And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:6 @ And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus hath said the Lord, Be not afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, with which the boys of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:14 @ And Hezekiah took the letter out of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the Lord, and spread it out before the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:15 @ And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:37:16 @ O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; it is thou who hast made the heavens and earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:17 @ Bend down, O Lord, thy ear, and hear; open, O Lord, thy eye, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:18 @ Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated all the nations, and their land;

lesserot@Isaiah:37:19 @ And they have placed their gods into the fire; for they are no gods, but the work of man’s hands, wood and stone; and these have they destroyed.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:20 @ And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, thou alone.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:21 @ Then sent Isaiah the son of Amoz unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib the king of Assyria:

lesserot@Isaiah:37:22 @ This is the word that the Lord hath spoken over him: She despiseth thee, she laugheth thee to scorn, the virgin daughter of Zion; behind she shaketh her head, the daughter of Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:23 @ Whom hast thou blasphemed, and hast thou scorned? and against whom hast thou raised thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? against the Holy One of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:24 @ Through thy servants hast thou blasphemed the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I indeed come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its fir–trees: and I will enter into the height of its summit, the forest of its fruitful soil.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:25 @ I have dug, and drunk water; and I will dry up with the sole of my feet all the streams of besieged places.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:26 @ Hadst thou not heard, that in distant ages I had prepared this? in the times of antiquity when I formed it? now have I brought it along, and it came to pass to desolate into ruinous heaps fortified cities.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:27 @ And thus their inhabitants were of short power, they were discouraged and confounded: they were as the herbs of the field, and as the green grass; as the moss on the housetops, and as corn blasted before the ear appeareth.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:28 @ But thy abiding, and thy going out, and thy coming in do I know, and thy raging against me.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:29 @ Because of thy raging against me, and thy tumult, that is come up into my ears, will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle between thy lips, and I will cause thee to turn back on the way by which thou camest.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:30 @ And this shall be unto thee the sign, Ye shall eat this year what groweth of itself, and in the second year what springeth after the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:31 @ And the remnant of the house of Judah that is escaped shall yet strike root downward, and bear fruit upward.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:32 @ For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and that which escapeth out of Mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:33 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow thereon, nor come before it with shields, nor cast up an embankment against it.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:34 @ On the way by which he came, by the same shall he return, and into this city shall he not come, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:35 @ And I will shield this city to save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:36 @ Then went out an angel of the Lord, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty and five thousand men; and when people arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:37 @ And Sennacherib the king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

lesserot@Isaiah:37:38 @ And it came to pass, as he was prostrating himself in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Essar–chaddon his son became king in his stead.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:1 @ In those days Hezekiah fell sick unto death; and there came unto him Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Give thy charge to thy house; for thou shalt die, and not live.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:2 @ Then did Hezekiah turn his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:3 @ And he said, O Lord, I beseech thee remember now that I have walked before thee in truth, and with an undivided heart, and have done what is good in thy eyes. And Hezekiah wept aloud.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:4 @ Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying,

lesserot@Isaiah:38:5 @ Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:6 @ And out of the hand of the king of Assyria will I deliver thee and this city; and I will shield this city.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:7 @ And this shall be unto thee the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing which he hath spoken:

lesserot@Isaiah:38:8 @ Behold, I will cause the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down on the dial of Achaz by the sun, to return backward ten degrees. So the sun returned ten degrees, by the degrees which he was gone down.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:9 @ The writing of Hezekiah the king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:

lesserot@Isaiah:38:10 @ I had said, In the midst of my days, must I enter the gates of the nether world; I am deprived of the residue of my years.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:11 @ I had said, I shall not see the Lord, the Lord, in the land of the living: I shall not behold man any more among the inhabitants of the regions of death.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:12 @ My dwelling is broken down, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off, like a weaver, my life; with pining sickness will he snatch me away: from day until night wilt thou make an end of me.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:13 @ I waited till morning, as a lion, so would he break all my bones: from day until night wilt thou make an end of me.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:14 @ Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chirp; I did moan like a dove; my eyes were lifted up on high: O Lord, I am oppressed; grant me ease.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:15 @ What shall I speak? he hath promised it unto me, and he hath also accomplished it; I will make pilgrimages all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:16 @ O Lord, by these will live, and in all these is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou give me health, and cause me to live.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:17 @ Behold, for peace I had great bitterness; but thou hast, in loving my soul, delivered it from the pit of corruption; for thou hast cast behind thy back all my sins.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:18 @ For the nether world will not thank thee, death will not praise thee: they that go down into the pit will not hope for thy truth.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:19 @ The living, the living alone shall thank thee, like me this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:20 @ The Lord is there to help me; therefore we will play my hymns all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:21 @ And Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the inflammation, and he shall recover.

lesserot@Isaiah:38:22 @ And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?

lesserot@Isaiah:39:1 @ At that time sent Merodach–baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick, and was become strong again.

lesserot@Isaiah:39:2 @ And Hezekiah was rejoiced on their account, and showed them his treasure–house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the whole of his armor–house, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing that Hezekiah showed them not, in his house, and in all his dominion.

lesserot@Isaiah:39:3 @ Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What did these men say? and whence did they come unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a far–off country are they come unto me, from Babylon.

lesserot@Isaiah:39:4 @ And he said, What did they see in thy house? And Hezekiah said, all that is in my house have they seen; there is nothing that I did not show them in my treasures.

lesserot@Isaiah:39:5 @ And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of hosts,

lesserot@Isaiah:39:6 @ Behold, days are coming when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:39:7 @ And of thy sons that will issue from thee, whom thou wilt beget, shall they take; and they shall be court–servants in the palace of the king of Babylon.

lesserot@Isaiah:39:8 @ Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and stability in my days.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:1 @ Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:2 @ Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, and call out unto her, that her time of sorrow is accomplished, that her iniquity is atoned for; for she hath received from the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:3 @ A voice calleth out, In the wilderness make ye clear the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for God.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:4 @ Every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made a straight path, and the rough places a plain:

lesserot@Isaiah:40:5 @ And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed; and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:6 @ A voice saith, Proclaim; and he saith, What shall I proclaim? all flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is as the flower of the field:

lesserot@Isaiah:40:7 @ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the Lord hath blown upon it; surely the people is grass.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:8 @ The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God will stand firm for ever.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:9 @ Upon a high mountain get thee up, thou that bringest good tidings to Zion; lift up with strength thy voice, thou who bringest good tidings to Jerusalem; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!

lesserot@Isaiah:40:10 @ Behold, the Lord Eternal will come with might, and his arm ruleth for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:11 @ Like a shepherd will he feed his flock: with his arm will he gather the lambs, and in his bosom will he carry them, will he lead gently those that suckle their young.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:12 @ Who hath measured in the hollow of his hand the waters, and meted out the heavens with the span, and comprised in a measure the dust of the earth, and weighed in the scale–beam the mountains, and the hills in balances?

lesserot@Isaiah:40:13 @ Who hath meted out the Spirit of the Lord? and his counsellor that he could have given him information?

lesserot@Isaiah:40:14 @ With whom took he counsel, that he gave him understanding, and taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and caused him to know the way of understanding?

lesserot@Isaiah:40:15 @ Behold, nations are as a drop out of a bucket, and as the small dust of the balance are they accounted: behold, isles are like the flying dust.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:16 @ And Lebanon is not sufficient for burning, and its beasts do not suffice for burnt–offering.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:17 @ All the nations are as naught before him; less than nothing, and vanity are they accounted to him.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:18 @ To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

lesserot@Isaiah:40:19 @ The graven image the artificer hath cast and the goldsmith hath overspread it with gold, and fabricated silver chains.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:20 @ He that is skilled in the choice chooseth a wood that will not rot; he seeketh unto himself a skilful workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:21 @ Know ye not? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not paid attention to the foundations of the earth?

lesserot@Isaiah:40:22 @ that dwelleth above the circle of the earth, while its inhabitants are as grasshoppers; that stretched out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;

lesserot@Isaiah:40:23 @ That bringeth princes to naught; rendering the judges of the earth as vanity.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:24 @ Yes, they were not yet planted; yea, they were not yet sown; yea, their stem had not yet taken root in the earth: when he but breathed upon them, and they withered, and the storm–wind carrieth them away as stubble.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:25 @ To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal to? saith the Holy One.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:26 @ Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these? he that bringeth out their host by number; that calleth them all by name; from the Mighty One not one escapeth.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:27 @ Why wilt thou say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from the Lord, and my cause hath passed from the cognizance of my God?

lesserot@Isaiah:40:28 @ Dost thou not know? hast thou not heard? The God of everlasting is the Lord, is the Creator of the ends of the earth; he will not be faint and weary; unsearchable is his understanding.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:29 @ He giveth to the faint strength; and to the powerless he imparteth much might.

lesserot@Isaiah:40:30 @ Though youths should grow faint and be weary, and young men should utterly stumble:

lesserot@Isaiah:40:31 @ Yet they that wait upon the Lord shall acquire new strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk, and not become faint.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:1 @ Keep silence before me, O islands; and let nations acquire new strength: let them approach, then let them speak, together let us come near to judgment.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:2 @ Who waked up from the east the man whom righteousness met in his steps? he giveth up nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; that his sword may render them as the dust, as driven stubble, his bow.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:3 @ He pursueth them, passeth along in safety, by a path which his feet have not gone over before.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:4 @ Who hath wrought and done it? he who called the generations from the beginning; I the Lord, the first, and with the latest I am the same.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:5 @ The isles saw it, and are afraid; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:6 @ They help one another; and each one saith to his brother, Be strong!

lesserot@Isaiah:41:7 @ So the smith encouraged the melter, he that smootheth with the hammer him that striketh on the anvil; saying of the solder, It is good; and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:8 @ But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend;

lesserot@Isaiah:41:9 @ Thou, whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the midst of its chiefs, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:10 @ Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I strengthen thee, yea, I help thee, yea, I uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:11 @ Behold, ashamed and confounded shall be all that were incensed against thee; they shall be as naught and perish––the men that strive with thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:12 @ Thou wilt seek them, and shalt not find them, the men that contend with thee; they shall be as naught and as nothing, the men that make war against thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:13 @ For I the Lord thy God lay hold of thy right hand; who saith unto thee, Fear not, I help thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:14 @ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, ye few men of Israel: I myself help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:15 @ Behold, I have rendered thee a threshing instrument, sharp, new, having many teeth: thou shalt thresh mountains, and beat them small, and shalt render the hills as chaff.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:16 @ Thou shalt scatter them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the storm shall disperse them; but thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel shalt thou glorify thyself.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:17 @ The poor and the needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue is dried up with thirst: I the Lord will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:18 @ I will open on naked mountain–peaks rivers, and in the midst of valleys fountains; I will change the wilderness into a pool of water, and the dry land into springs of water.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:19 @ I will place in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil–tree; I will set in the desert the fir–tree, the pine and the box–tree together;

lesserot@Isaiah:41:20 @ In order that they may see, and know and take, and comprehend together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:21 @ Produce your cause, saith the Lord: bring forward your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:22 @ Let them bring them forward and tell us what shall happen: the former things––what are they?––tell us, that we may take it to heart, and know the result of them; or let us hear the things that are to come.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:23 @ Tell the events that are to happen hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be astonished, and see it together.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:24 @ Behold, ye are less than nothing, and your work less than a breath: an abomination chooseth you.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:25 @ I have waked up one from the north, and he cometh; from the rising of the sun one who will call on my name: and he shall come princes as mortar, and as the potter treadeth down the clay.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:26 @ Who hath told it from the beginning, that we may know it? and aforetimes, that we may say, "it is right?" but indeed there is none that telleth, indeed there is none that letteth us hear, indeed there is none that heareth your words.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:27 @ The first to Zion, Behold, there they are; and to Jerusalem will I give one that bringeth good tidings.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:28 @ And I ever look, and there is no man; and among these there is no counsellor, that they could answer a word.

lesserot@Isaiah:41:29 @ Behold, they all are naught; their works are nothing: wind and vanity are their molten images.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:1 @ Behold my servant, whom I will uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him, that he may bring forth justice to the nations.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:2 @ He shall not cry, nor call out aloud, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:3 @ A cracked reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: unto truth shall he bring forth justice.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:4 @ He shall not become fatigued and not be faint, till he have established justice on earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:5 @ Thus hath said God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and the things which come out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to those that walk thereon:

lesserot@Isaiah:42:6 @ I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will lay hold on thy hand, and will keep thee, and appoint thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;

lesserot@Isaiah:42:7 @ To open blind eyes, to bring out from the dungeon the prisoner, and out of the prison–house those that dwell in darkness.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:8 @ I am the Everlasting One, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to any other, nor my praise to graven images.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:9 @ The former things, behold, are come to pass; and new things do I announce; before they spring forth I let you hear of them.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:10 @ Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that filleth it; the isles, and their inhabitants.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:11 @ Let resound with song the wilderness and its cities, the villages which Kedar inhabiteth: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout forth from the top of the mountains.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:12 @ Let them give glory unto the Lord, and in the islands declare his praise.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:13 @ The Lord––as a mighty one will he go forth, like a man of war will he arouse his vengeance: he will shout, yea, raise the war–cry; against his enemies will he show his strength.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:14 @ I have a long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: like a travailing woman will I cry; I will destroy and devour together.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:15 @ I will lay waste mountains and hills, and all their herbs will I dry up; and I will change the rivers into islands, and pools will I dry up.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:16 @ And I will cause the blind to walk on a way that they have not known; on paths that they have not known will I lead them: I will change darkness before them into light, and crooked places into plains. These are the things which I will do, and not leave them.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:17 @ They shall be turned back, they shall be ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to molten idols, Ye are our gods.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:18 @ Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look up, that ye may see.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:19 @ Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger whom I send? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the servant of the Lord?

lesserot@Isaiah:42:20 @ Thou seest many things, but observest not; the ears are open, but he heareth not.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:21 @ The Lord willed for the sake of his righteousness; he magnifieth the law, and maketh it honorable.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:22 @ But it is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them ensnared in holes, and in prison–houses are they hidden: they are become for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:23 @ Who among you will give ear to this? will hearken and listen, for the time to come?

lesserot@Isaiah:42:24 @ Who gave up Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to plunderers? was it not the Lord? he it is against whom we have sinned; for they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.

lesserot@Isaiah:42:25 @ Therefore hath he poured out over him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it blazed all round about him, yet he regarded it not; and it burnt on him, yet he laid it not to heart.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:1 @ But now thus hath said the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not; for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; mine art thou.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:2 @ Whenever thou passest through the waters, I am with thee; and through the rivers,––they shall not overflow thee: whenever thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be scorched; neither shall the flame burn on thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:3 @ For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt for thy ransom, Cush and Seba in place of thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:4 @ Since thou art precious in my eyes, art honorable, and I indeed do love thee: therefore will I give men in place of thee, and nations instead of thy soul.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:5 @ Fear not, for I am with thee; from the east will I bring thy seed, and from the west will I gather thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:6 @ I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Withhold not: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

lesserot@Isaiah:43:7 @ Every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory; whom I have formed; yea, whom I have made.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:8 @ Bring forward the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:9 @ Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can announce this? and cause us to hear former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:10 @ Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: in order that ye may know and believe me, and understand, that I am he; before me there was no god formed, and after me there will be none.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:11 @ I, I am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:12 @ I myself have announced it, and I have saved, and I have let it be heard, and there was no strange among you; and ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:13 @ Yea, from the day am I he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: if I will work, is there one that can hinder it?

lesserot@Isaiah:43:14 @ Thus hath said the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, For your sake did I send to Babylon, and in swift vessels brought I them all down, and the Chaldeans, in the ships of their joyful song.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:15 @ I am the Lord, the Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:18 @ Remember not the former things, and ancient events regard no more.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:19 @ Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; will ye not acknowledge it? I will even make in the wilderness a way, and in the desert rivers.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:20 @ The beasts of the field shall honor me, the monsters and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my elect;

lesserot@Isaiah:43:21 @ This people which I have formed for myself; my praise shall they relate.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:22 @ But on me hast thou not called, O Jacob; for thou art become weary of me, O Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:23 @ Thou hast not brought unto me the lamb of thy burnt–offerings; and with thy sacrifices hast thou not honored me: I have not troubled thee with meat–offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:24 @ Thou hast not bought for me sweet cane, and with the fat of thy sacrifices hast thou not satisfied me; but thou hast troubled me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:25 @ I, it is I that blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, and thy sins I will not remember.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:26 @ Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: relate thou, in order that thou mayest be justified.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:27 @ Thy first father did sin, and they that plead for thee transgressed against me.

lesserot@Isaiah:43:28 @ Therefore do I profane the holy princes, and I give up Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:1 @ Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

lesserot@Isaiah:44:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord thy Maker, and he that formed thee from the womb, who will help thee, Fear not, O my servant Jacob; and thou Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:3 @ For I pour water upon the thirsty, and rain–droppings upon the dry ground: will I pour my spirit over thy seed, and my blessing over thy offspring.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:4 @ After they shall spring up among grass, like willows by the water–courses.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:5 @ This one will say, I belong to the Lord; and the other will call himself by the name of Jacob; and the other will inscribe himself with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:7 @ And who, like me, will announce, and will tell it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the people of ancient times? and the future things, and those which are to happen,––let them foretell unto them.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:8 @ Have no dread, and do not despond; have I not long since informed thee, and have told it? and ye are my witnesses: Is there a god beside me? yea, there is no rock, whom I know not.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:9 @ The makers of graven images are all vanity; and their costly idols cannot profit; and they are their own witnesses, that they see not and know not, in order that they may be ashamed.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:10 @ Who hath formed a god, or cast an image that profiteth nothing?

lesserot@Isaiah:44:11 @ Behold, all his associates shall be ashamed, for the workmen themselves are but men: let them all be gathered, let them stand up, they shall be terrified, they shall be ashamed together.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:12 @ The iron–smith an axe and worketh it in the coals, and with hammers he fashioneth it, and worketh it with his powerful arm; he also, when he is hungry, loseth his strength: when he drinketh no water, he becometh faint.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:13 @ The worker in wood stretcheth out the rule; he marketh it out with chalk; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, after the beauty of a child of earth, that it may dwell in a house.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:14 @ He felleth for himself cedars, and taketh cypress and oak, and he chooseth for himself the strongest among the trees of the forest; he planteth an ash, and the rain causeth it to grow.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:15 @ Then doth it serve a man for burning; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; he also heateth therewith, and baketh bread; he also worketh out a god, and boweth himself; he maketh of it an image, and kneeleth down thereto.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:16 @ The half thereof hath he burnt in fire; with the half thereof will he eat flesh; he will roast food, and be satisfied; he will also warm himself, and say, Aha, I am warm, I have felt the fire:

lesserot@Isaiah:44:17 @ And the residue thereof hath he made into a god, his graven image; he kneeleth down unto it, and boweth himself, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for my god art thou.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:18 @ They know not, they understand not; for their eyes are daubed over, that they cannot see; their hearts, that they cannot understand.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:19 @ And he layeth it not to heart, and hath no knowledge, no understanding, to say, The half thereof have I burnt in fire; and I have also baked upon its coals bread; I will roast flesh, and eat it: and shall I make of its residue an abomination, before a block of wood shall I kneel?

lesserot@Isaiah:44:20 @ He pursueth ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside; and he cannot deliver his soul, and will not say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

lesserot@Isaiah:44:21 @ Remember these things, O Jacob; and Israel, for thou art my servant: I have formed thee to be my servant, thou; O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten by me.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:22 @ I have blotted out, as a vapor, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:23 @ Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it; shout, ye lowest depths of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein; for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and on Israel will he glorify himself.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:24 @ Thus hath said the Lord, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that hath made all things; that hath stretched forth the heavens by myself alone; that hath spread abroad the earth from my own self;

lesserot@Isaiah:44:25 @ That frustrate the tokens of the liars, and confuseth diviners; that turneth the wise backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

lesserot@Isaiah:44:26 @ That fulfilleth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith of Jerusalem, It shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and their ruins will I raise up.

lesserot@Isaiah:44:27 @ That saith to the deep, Be dry, and thy rivers will I dry up;

lesserot@Isaiah:44:28 @ That saith of Cyrus, my shepherd, and all my pleasure shall he perform: even saying of Jerusalem, It shall be built; and the temple’s foundation shall be laid.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:1 @ Thus hath said the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whom I have taken hold of by his right hand, to subdue nations before him, even the loins of kings will I ungird, to open before him doors, and gates that they shall not be shut;

lesserot@Isaiah:45:3 @ And I will give unto thee the treasures of darkness, and riches hidden in secret places; in order that thou mayest know that I am the Lord, who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel;

lesserot@Isaiah:45:5 @ I am the Lord, and there is none else, beside me there is no god; I assisted thee, though thou hast not known me.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:6 @ In order that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from its setting, that there is nothing without me. I am the Lord, and there is no one else;

lesserot@Isaiah:45:7 @ Forming the light, and creating darkness; making peace, and creating evil: I the Lord do all these things.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:8 @ Drop down ye heavens, and let the skies distil blessing; let the earth open and let them be fruitful of prosperity, and let righteousness spring up likewise: I the Lord have created it.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:9 @ Woe unto him that contendeth with the one who formed him––a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

lesserot@Isaiah:45:10 @ Woe unto him that saith unto father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What bringest thou forth?

lesserot@Isaiah:45:11 @ Thus hath said the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and he who hath formed him, About events to come will you ask me? concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands will ye command me?

lesserot@Isaiah:45:14 @ Thus hath said the Lord, The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of high stature, shall pass over unto thee, and thine shall they be: behind thee shall they walk; in chains shall they pass along, and unto thee shall they bow, unto thee shall they pray, Yea, only among thee is God; and there is no one else beside God.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:15 @ Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:16 @ They are ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: together shall they go to confusion that are makers of idols.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:17 @ Israel shall be helped by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed and not be confounded unto all eternity.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:18 @ For thus hath said the Lord the creator of the heavens; he, the God that formed the earth and made it; he that hath established it,––not for naught did he create it, to be inhabited did he form it: I am the Lord; and there is no one else.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:19 @ Not on a secret spot have I spoken, in a dark place of the earth; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me for naught; I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:20 @ Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye escaped fugitives of the nations! They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

lesserot@Isaiah:45:21 @ Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath announced this in ancient times? told it from the beginning? is it not I the Lord? and there is no other god without me, a just god and a saviour; there is none beside me.

lesserot@Isaiah:46:12 @ Hearken unto me, ye stout of heart, that are far from righteousness:

lesserot@Isaiah:46:13 @ I have brought near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will grant unto Zion salvation, unto Israel my glory.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:1 @ Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground, there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for men shall nevermore call thee, Tender and delicate.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:2 @ Take the mill, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, lift up the train, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:3 @ Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not regard any man.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:4 @ Our redeemer––the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:5 @ Sit thou silent, and enter into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for men shall never more call thee, The mistress of kingdoms.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:6 @ I was wroth over my people, I defiled my inheritance, and gave them into thy hand: thou didst grant them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou laid very heavily thy yoke.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:7 @ And thou saidst, For ever shall I be mistress; until that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, thou didst not call to mind the result thereof.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:8 @ And now hear this, luxurious one, that dwellest in security, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and there is nothing else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

lesserot@Isaiah:47:9 @ Yet both these things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come upon thee, despite of the multitude of thy sorceries, despite of the very great abundance of thy enchantments.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:10 @ And thou didst trust in thy wickedness: thou saidst, No one seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge,––these were they that seduced thee; and thou saidst in thy heart, I am, and there is nothing else beside me.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:11 @ And there shall come upon thee an evil, which thou shalt not know how to remove it by prayer; and there shall fall upon thee mischief, which thou shalt not be able to atone for; and there shall come upon thee suddenly desolation, which thou shalt not know.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:12 @ Stand now with thy enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast labored from thy youth; peradventure thou mayest be able to profit, peradventure thou mayest withstand.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:13 @ Thou art wearied with the multitude of thy counsels. Do let now those that divide off the heavens, that look at the stars, that announce events at new moons, stand up, and save thee from the things that are to come over thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:47:14 @ Behold, they are become as stubble; the fire burneth them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: not a coal shall be left to warm at, no blaze to sit before it.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:1 @ Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the spring of Judah, who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel,––not in truth, nor in righteousness.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:2 @ For of the holy city they call themselves, and upon the God of Israel they stay themselves,––The Lord of hosts is his name.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:3 @ The former things have I declared from the beginning; and out of my mouth went they forth, and I announced them: suddenly did I accomplish them, and they came to pass;

lesserot@Isaiah:48:4 @ Because I knew that thou art obstinate, that like an iron sinew is thy neck, and thy brow of copper;

lesserot@Isaiah:48:5 @ And I declared it to thee from the beginning; before yet it came to pass did I let thee hear it: lest thou should say, My idol hath done these things, and my graven image, and my molten image, have ordained them.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:6 @ Thou hast heard it; see it all now; and you––will you not declare it? I caused thee to hear new things, from this time, even hidden things which thou hadst not known.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:7 @ Now are they created, and not from the beginning; and before the day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:8 @ But neither hadst thou heard it; nor didst thou know; nor had in ancient times thy ear been opened; for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and a transgressor wast thou called from thy birth.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:9 @ For the sake of my name will I defer my anger, and because of my praise will I restrain it toward thee, so that I may not cut thee off.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:10 @ Behold, I have refined thee, though not into silver: I have approved thee in the crucible of affliction.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:11 @ For my own sake will I do it: for how would be dishonored? and my glory will I not give unto another.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:12 @ Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel, my called one; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:13 @ My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned out the heavens: I call unto them, they stand forward together.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:14 @ Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear: Who among them hath told these things? He whom the Lord loveth, will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm the Chaldeans.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:15 @ I, even I, have spoken it, I have also called him: I have brought him, and he shall be prosperous on his way.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:16 @ Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; never from the beginning have I spoken in secret; from the time that it occurred, was I there. And now the Lord Eternal hath sent me, and his Spirit.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:17 @ Thus hath said the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord thy God who teach thee for thy profit, who lead thee by the way thou shouldst go.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:18 @ Oh that thou hadst but listened to my commandments! then would have been as a river thy peace, and thy prosperity as the waves of the sea:

lesserot@Isaiah:48:19 @ And then would have been as the sand thy seed, and the offspring of thy body like the pebbles of the sea–shore; yet shall his name not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:20 @ Go forth out of Babylon, flee away from the Chaldeans, with the voice of singing declare, announce this, carry it forth as far as the end of the earth; say, The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:21 @ And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; waters out of the rock he let drop down for them: and he cleaved the rock, and the waters gushed out.

lesserot@Isaiah:48:22 @ There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:1 @ Hearken, O isles, unto me; and listen, ye people, from afar: The Lord hath called me from my birth; from my mother’s womb hath he made mention of my name.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:2 @ And he hath rendered my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hidden me: and he hath rendered me as a polished arrow; in his quiver hath he concealed me;

lesserot@Isaiah:49:3 @ And said unto me, My servant art thou, O Israel, thou on whom I will be glorified.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:4 @ But I had indeed said, For no purpose have I labored, for naught and vanity have I spent my strength; yet surely my cause is with the Lord, and the recompense of my work with my God.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:5 @ And now hath said the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, that Israel may be gathered unto him, that I should be honored in the eyes of the Lord, while my God was my strength,––

lesserot@Isaiah:49:6 @ And he said, It is too light a thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved of Israel! but I will appoint thee for a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach as far as the end of the earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:7 @ Thus hath said the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him who is despised by men, to him who is abhorred by nations, to the servant of rulers, Kings shall see it and rise up, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, for the sake of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who hath made choice of thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:8 @ Thus hath said the Lord, In the time of favor have I answered thee, and on the day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and I will appoint thee as a people of my covenant to raise up the land, to divide out desolate heritages;

lesserot@Isaiah:49:9 @ When I say to the prisoners, Go forth; to those that are in darkness, Show yourselves. On the roads shall they feed, and on all mountain–peaks shall be their pasture.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:10 @ They shall not be hungry nor thirsty, and neither heat nor sun shall smite them; for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, and by springs of water will he guide them.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:11 @ And I will change all my mountains into a road, and my highways shall be lifted up.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:12 @ Behold, these shall come from afar; and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:13 @ Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth, O mountains, into song; for the Lord hath comforted his people, and upon his oppressed will he have mercy.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:14 @ Yet Zion said, the Eternal hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:15 @ Can a woman forget her sucking child, not to have mercy on the son of her body? yea, should these even forget, yet would I not forget thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:16 @ Behold, upon the palms of my hands have I engraved thee; thy walls are continually before me.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:17 @ Thy children come in haste; thy destroyers and they that laid thee waste shall go away from thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:18 @ Lift up thy eyes round about, and see; they all are assembled together, they come to thee: as I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thyself with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:19 @ For thy ruins and thy desolate places, and thy wasted land,––yea, now shall it be too narrow for thee by reason of the inhabitants, and thy destroyers shall be far away.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:20 @ Yet again will say before thy ears the children of whom thou wast deprived, The place is too narrow for me; make room for me that I may dwell.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:21 @ And thou wilt say in thy heart, Who hath born me these, seeing I was bereft of my children, and was solitary, an exile, and outcast? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left entirely alone; these, where have they been?

lesserot@Isaiah:49:22 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will lift up to the nations my hand, and to the people will I raise up high my standard; and they shall bring thy sons in arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon shoulders.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:23 @ And kings shall be thy nursing–fathers, and their princesses thy nursing–mothers; with the face toward the earth shall they bow down to thee, and the dust of thy feet shall they lick up: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, who will not suffer those who hope in me to be ashamed.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:24 @ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or shall the captive of the victor escape?

lesserot@Isaiah:49:25 @ For thus hath said the Lord, Also the captive of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the powerful shall escape; and with those who contend against thee will I contend, and thy children will I indeed save.

lesserot@Isaiah:49:26 @ And I will feed thy oppressors with their own flesh; and as with new wine shall they be made drunken with their own blood: and all flesh shall know that I the Eternal am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer the Mighty One of Jacob.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:1 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Where is your mother’s bill of divorcement, wherewith I have sent her away? or who of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother sent away.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:2 @ Why did I come and no man was there, did I call, with none to answer? hath my hand become too short for redeeming? or is there no power in me to deliver? behold, through my threatening I can dry up the sea, I can change the rivers into a wilderness: their fish stink for want of water, and die for thirst.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:3 @ I can clothe the heavens with blackness, and I can make sackcloth their garment.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:4 @ The Lord Eternal hath given me a tongue for teaching, that I should know how to strengthen the weary with the word: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth my ear to listen like those who are well taught.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:5 @ The Lord Eternal hath opened me my ear, and I resisted not: I turned not backward.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:6 @ My back I gave up to the smiters, and my cheeks to those that plucked off the hair: my face I hid not from abuse and spitting.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:7 @ But the Lord Eternal ever helpeth me; therefore was I not confounded; therefore have I rendered my face like a flint, and I knew that I should not be made ashamed.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:8 @ He that justifieth me is near; who will contend with me? let us stand forward together: who hath a dispute with me? let him come near to me.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:10 @ Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that hearkeneth to the voice of his servant? though he have walked in darkness, and had no light: let him trust in the name of the Lord, and lean for support upon his God.

lesserot@Isaiah:50:11 @ Behold, all ye that kindle fire, that urge on the brands: walk by the blaze of your fire, and by the brands ye have kindled; from my hand hath this been bestowed on you; in pain shall ye lie down.

lesserot@Isaiah:51:5 @ My righteousness is near; my salvation goeth forth, and my arms shall judge the people: on me the isles shall wait, and for my arm shall they hope.

lesserot@Isaiah:51:6 @ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wear out like a garment, and they that dwell thereon shall die in like manner; but my salvation shall exist for ever, and my righteousness shall not be delayed.

lesserot@Isaiah:51:20 @ Thy children have fainted, they lie at the entrance of all streets, as a wild bull caught in a net, who are full of the fury of the Lord, the threatening of thy God.

lesserot@Isaiah:51:21 @ Therefore hear now this, O thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine.

lesserot@Isaiah:51:22 @ Thus hath said thy Lord, the Eternal, and thy God, who will ever plead for his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of confusion, the deep cup of my fury: thou shalt never more drink it again.

lesserot@Isaiah:51:23 @ And I will place it in the hand of those who have tortured thee, that have said to thy soul, Bend thee down, that we may pass over; and thou madest like the earth thy back, and like the street for those that passed over.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:1 @ Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, thou holy city; for no more shall enter into thee henceforth the uncircumcised and the unclean.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:2 @ Shake thyself free from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem: loosen thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive, daughter of Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:3 @ For thus hath said the Lord, For naught were you sold, and without silver shall ye be redeemed.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:4 @ For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Into Egypt went my people down aforetimes, to sojourn there, and Asshur hath oppressed it without cause.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:5 @ And now what have I here, saith the Lord, since my people hath been taken away for naught? its rulers vaunt aloud, saith the Lord, and continually, all the day, is my name blasphemed.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:6 @ Therefore shall my people know my name, therefore on that day, that I am he that speaketh it: here am I.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:7 @ How beautiful are upon the mountains the feet of the messenger of good tidings, that publisheth peace, that announceth tidings of happiness, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:8 @ The voice of thy watchmen,––they raise their voice, together shall they shout; for eye to eye shall they see, when the Lord returneth unto Zion.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:9 @ Break forth, shout together, ye ruins of Jerusalem; the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:10 @ The Lord hath made bare his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:11 @ Depart ye, depart ye, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out from the midst of it; cleanse yourselves, ye bearers of the vessels of the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:13 @ Behold, my servant shall be prosperous, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be placed very high.

lesserot@Isaiah:52:14 @ Just as many were astonished at thee, so greatly was his countenance marred more than any man’s, and his form more than the sons of men,––

lesserot@Isaiah:52:15 @ Thus will he cause many nations to jump up in; at him will kings shut their mouth; for what had not been told unto them shall they see, and what they had never heard shall they understand.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:1 @ Who would have believed our report? and the arm of the Lord––over whom hath it been revealed?

lesserot@Isaiah:53:2 @ Yea, he grew up like a small shoot before him, and as a root out of a dry land: he had no form nor comeliness, so that we should look at him; and no countenance, so that we should desire him.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:3 @ He was despised and shunned by men; a man of pains, and acquainted with disease; and as one who hid his face from us was he despised, and we esteemed him not.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:4 @ But only our diseases did he bear himself, and our pains he carried: while we indeed esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:5 @ Yet he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and through his bruises was healing granted to us.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:6 @ We all like sheep went astray; every one to his own way did we turn; and the Lord let befall him the guilt of us all.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:7 @ He was oppressed, and he was also taunted, yet he opened not his mouth; like the lamb which is led to the slaughter, and like an ewe before her shearers is dumb; and he opened not his mouth.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:8 @ Through oppression and through judicial punishment was he taken away; but his generation––who could tell, that he was cut away out of the land of life, for the transgressions of my people the plague was laid on him?

lesserot@Isaiah:53:9 @ And he let his grave be made with the wicked, and with the rich at his death; although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:10 @ But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease: when his soul hath brought the trespass–offering, then shall he see seed, live many days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:11 @ from the trouble of his soul shall he see and be satisfied: through his knowledge shall my righteous servant bring the many to righteousness, while he will bear their iniquities.

lesserot@Isaiah:53:12 @ Therefore will I divide him with the many, and with the strong shall he divide the spoil; because he poured out his soul unto death, and with transgressors was he numbered: while he bore the sin of many, and for the transgressors he let befall him.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:1 @ Sing, O barren one, that thou hast not born: break forth into song, and rejoice aloud, that thou hast not travailed; for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:2 @ Enlarge the space of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations,––spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

lesserot@Isaiah:54:4 @ Fear not, for thou shalt not be made ashamed; and be not confounded, for thou shalt not be put to the blush; for the shame of thy youth shalt thou forget, and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou not remember any more.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:5 @ For thy husband is thy Maker, the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, "The God of all the earth," shall he be called.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:6 @ For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit did the Lord call thee back, and as a wife of youth, that was rejected, saith thy God.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:7 @ But for a brief moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I again receive thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:8 @ In a little wrath did I hide my face for a moment from thee; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith thy Redeemer the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:9 @ For as the waters of Noah is this unto me; as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more pass over the earth: so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:15 @ Behold, they that assemble together, are nothing without me: whatsoever assembleth together against thee shall fall under thy power.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:16 @ Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have also created the waster to destroy.

lesserot@Isaiah:54:17 @ No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that will rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their due reward from me, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:1 @ Ho, every one of ye that thirsteth, come ye to the water, and he too that hath no money: come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy without money and without price wine and milk.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:2 @ Wherefore will ye spend money for what is not bread? and your labor for what satisfieth not? hearken then unto me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:3 @ Incline your ear, and come unto me, hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the promised mercies of David, which are sure.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:5 @ Behold, a nation thou knowest not shalt thou call, and a nation that knew thee not shall run unto thee; for the sake of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:6 @ Seek ye the Lord, while he may be found, call ye on him, while he is near.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:7 @ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of unrighteousness his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and unto our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:8 @ For not my thoughts are your thoughts, and not your ways are my ways, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:9 @ For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:10 @ For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not thither, but water the earth, and render it fruitful, and cause it to bring forth plants; and give seed to the sower and bread to him that eateth:

lesserot@Isaiah:55:11 @ So shall ever be my word which goeth forth from my mouth, it shall not return unto me without effect; but it accomplisheth what I desire, and it prospereth in that whereto I have sent it.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:12 @ For in joy shall ye go out, and in peace shall ye be brought home: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

lesserot@Isaiah:55:13 @ Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir–tree, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be unto the Lord for a name, for a sign of everlasting that shall not be cut off.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:1 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Keep ye justice, and do equity; for near is my salvation to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:2 @ Happy is the mortal that ever doth this, and the son of man that ever layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:3 @ And let not say the son of the stranger, that joineth himself unto the Lord, saying, Surely the Lord will exclude me from his people; nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:4 @ For thus hath said the Lord concerning the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and make choice of what pleaseth me, and take hold of my covenant.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:5 @ I will indeed give unto them in my house and within my walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters: an everlasting name will I give them, that shall not be cut off.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:6 @ Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be unto him as servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and those who take hold of my covenant:

lesserot@Isaiah:56:7 @ Even these will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt–offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.

lesserot@Isaiah:56:8 @ Thus saith the Lord Eternal who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, I will yet gather to him, beside his own gathered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

lesserot@Isaiah:57:14 @ And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, clear out the way, lift up every stumbling block out of the way of my people.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:15 @ For thus hath said the high and lofty One, who inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy, In the high and holy place do I dwell, yet also with the contrite and humble of spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:16 @ For not to eternity will I contend, neither will I be for ever wroth: when the spirit from before me is overwhelmed, and the souls which I have made.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:17 @ Because of the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and I smote him, hiding my face, and was wroth: while he went on frowardly in the way of his own heart.

lesserot@Isaiah:57:21 @ There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

lesserot@Isaiah:58:1 @ Cry with a full throat, spare not, like the cornet lift up thy voice, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

lesserot@Isaiah:58:2 @ Yet me do they ever seek day by day, and to know my ways do they always desire; as a nation that hath done righteousness, and hath not forsaken the ordinance of their God: continually do they ask of me the ordinances of justice––do they desire to draw nigh unto God.

lesserot@Isaiah:58:3 @ "Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest it not? have we afflicted our soul, and thou regardest it not?" Behold, on the day of your fasting ye follow your business, and all your acquired gains do ye exact.

lesserot@Isaiah:58:4 @ Behold, for contention and strife do ye fast, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not so at this day, to cause your voice to be heard on high.

lesserot@Isaiah:58:5 @ Is such then the fast which I can choose? a day that a man afflicteth his soul? to bend his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes for his couch? wilt thou call this a fast, and a day of acceptability unto the Lord?

lesserot@Isaiah:58:6 @ Is not this the fast that I will choose? to open the snares of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye should break asunder every yoke?

lesserot@Isaiah:58:7 @ Is it not to distribute thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the afflicted poor into thy house! when thou seest the naked, that thou clothe him; and that thou hide not thyself from thy own flesh?

lesserot@Isaiah:58:8 @ Then shall break forth as the morning–dawn thy light, and thy healing shall speedily spring forth; and before thee shall go thy righteousness, the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward.

lesserot@Isaiah:58:9 @ Then shalt thou call, and the Lord will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here am I. If thou remove from the midst of thee the yoke, the stretching out of the finger, and speaking wickedly;

lesserot@Isaiah:58:10 @ And if thou pour out to the hungry thy soul, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall shine forth in the darkness thy light, and thy obscurity be as the noonday;

lesserot@Isaiah:58:11 @ And the Lord will guide thee continually, and will satisfy thy soul in times of famine, and will strengthen thy bones; and thou shalt be like a well–watered garden, and like a spring of water, the waters of which will never deceive.

lesserot@Isaiah:58:12 @ And they that spring from thee shall build up the ancient ruins; the foundations of many generations shalt thou raise up again: and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breaches, The restorer of paths to the dwelling–place.

lesserot@Isaiah:58:13 @ If thou restrain thy foot for the sake of the sabbath, not doing thy business on my holy day; and if thou call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord, honorable; and honor it by not doing thy usual pursuits, by not following thy own business, and speaking words:

lesserot@Isaiah:58:14 @ Then shalt thou find delight in the Lord; and I will cause thee to tread upon the high places of the earth, and I will cause thee to enjoy the inheritance of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:1 @ Behold, the Lord’s hand is not too short to save; neither his ear too heavy for hearing;

lesserot@Isaiah:59:2 @ But your iniquities have ever made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have caused him to hide his face from you, so that he would not hear.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:3 @ For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken falsehood, your tongue uttereth deception.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:4 @ No one admonisheth with righteousness, and no one executeth justice in truth; men trust in naught, and speak lies; they have conceived mischief, and bring forth wickedness.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:5 @ Basilisk’s eggs do they hatch, and spider’s webs do they weave: he that eateth of their eggs must die, and if one be crushed, a viper will break forth.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:6 @ Their webs cannot serve for garments, and they cannot clothe themselves with their works: their works are works of wickedness, and the deed of violence is in their hands.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:7 @ Their feet run to what is evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness; wasting and destruction are on their highways.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:8 @ The way of peace they know not; and there is no justice on their tracks: their paths they have made unto themselves crooked; whosoever walketh therein knoweth not peace.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:9 @ Therefore is justice far from us, nor will happiness overtake us: we ever hope for light, but behold there is darkness; for brightness, but in obscurity must we walk.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:10 @ We grope like the blind on the wall, and as if we had no eyes do we grope: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; we are in complete darkness like the dead.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:11 @ We growl all of us like bears, and like doves do we moan sorely; we ever hope for justice, but there is none; for aid, but it is far from us.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:12 @ For our transgressions are numerous in thy presence, and our sins testify against us; for of our transgressions are we aware; and our iniquities––we know them;

lesserot@Isaiah:59:13 @ We transgressed and denied the Lord, and departed away from our God; we spoke oppression and revolt, conceived and brought forth in our heart words of falsehood.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:14 @ And justice is forced to turn backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth stumbled in the street, and equity is not able to enter.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:15 @ And thus is the truth missing; and he that departeth from evil is regarded as foolish: and the Lord saw it, and it was displeasing in his eyes that there was no justice.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:16 @ And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; therefore his arm brought him aid, and his righteousness,––yea, this sustained him.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:17 @ And he put on righteousness as a coat of mail, and the helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance as raiment, and wrapped himself with zeal as with a cloak.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:18 @ According to the demerits, so will he repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands will he repay what they have merited.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:19 @ And they shall fear from the west the name of the Lord, and from the rising of the sun his glory; for there shall come distress like the stream which the Spirit of the Lord urgeth forward.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:20 @ But unto Zion shall come the redeemer, and unto those who return from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:59:21 @ And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord, My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy children, nor out of the mouth of thy children’s children, saith the Lord, from henceforth and unto all eternity.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:3 @ For thus hath said the Lord to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Plough up your fallow ground, that ye may not sow among thorns.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:4 @ Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and remove the obduracy of your heart, O ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:5 @ Tell ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem, and say, Blow ye the cornet in the land: call out, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:6 @ Set up the standard toward Zion; save yourselves by flight, stay not; for evil do I bring from the north, and a great destruction.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:7 @ The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of nations hath commenced his march, he is gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, left without an inhabitant.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:8 @ For this gird yourselves with sackcloths, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:9 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord, that the heart of the king and the heart of the princes shall fail; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:10 @ Then said I, Ah, Lord Eternal! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:11 @ At that time shall be announced to this people and to Jerusalem a dry wind from the mountain–peaks in the wilderness, on the road to the daughter of my people; not to winnow, nor to cleanse,

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:12 @ A strong wind from these places shall come unto me: now also will I myself pronounce judgment against them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:13 @ Behold, like clouds shall he come up, and like a whirlwind shall be his chariots: swifter than eagles are his horses. "Woe unto us! for we are wasted."

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:14 @ Wash from wrong doing thy heart, O Jerusalem, in order that thou mayest be saved. How long wilt thou let lodge within thee the thoughts of thy wickedness?

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:15 @ For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth unhappiness from the mountain of Ephraim.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:16 @ Make ye mention of it to the nations; behold, let it be heard against Jerusalem, that beleaguerers come from a far–off country, and send forth their voice against the cities of Judah.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:17 @ As keepers of a field are they against her round about; because against me hath she been rebellious, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:18 @ Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee: this is thy wickedness, which is so bitter, which so reacheth unto thy heart.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:19 @ My bowels, my bowels! I am shaken, at the very chambers of my heart; my heart beateth tumultuously in me; I cannot remain silent; because the sound of the cornet hast thou heard, O my soul, the alarm of war.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:20 @ Ruin upon ruin is called out; for the whole land is wasted: suddenly are my tents wasted, and in a moment, my curtains.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:21 @ How long shall I see the standard, hear the sound of the cornet?

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:22 @ "Because my people is foolish, me have they not known; sottish children are they, and they have not any understanding: wise are they to do evil, but how to do good they do not know."

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:23 @ I look at the earth, and, lo, it is without form and void; and toward the heavens, and their light is gone.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:24 @ I look at the mountains, and, lo, they tremble, and all the hills are moved.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:25 @ I look, and, lo, there is no man, and all the birds of the heavens are fled.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:26 @ I look, and, lo, the fruitful country is a wilderness, and all its cities are laid waste at the presence of the Lord, because of the fierceness of his anger.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:27 @ For thus hath said the Lord, Desolate shall be the whole land; yet a full end will I not make.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:28 @ For this shall mourn the earth, and black shall be the heavens above; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I will not repent, and I will not turn back from it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:29 @ From the noise of horsemen and those that shoot with the bow fleeth the whole city; they go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:30 @ And thou, O wasted one, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothe thyself with scarlet, though thou adorn thyself with ornaments of gold, though thou encircle with paint thy eyes: in vain shalt thou make thyself beautiful; the adulterers will despise thee, thy life will they seek.

lesserot@Jeremiah:4:31 @ For a voice as of a woman in travail have I heard, the anguish as of one that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that groaneth, that spreadeth out her hands, "Woe is me now! for my soul succumbeth to the murderers."

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:1 @ Roam about through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and notice, and search in its broad places, if ye can find one man, if there be one that executeth justice, that searcheth for truth: and I will pardon it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:2 @ And though they say, "As the Lord liveth!" surely they only swear to a falsehood.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:3 @ O Lord, are not thy eyes to the truth? thou didst strike them, but they felt it not; thou didst make an end of them, they refused to accept correction: they made their faces harder than a rock, they refused to return.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:4 @ Yet I myself thought, Oh these are but poor; they are foolish; for they knew not the way of the Lord, the ordinance of their God.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:5 @ I had better go unto the great men, and let me speak with them; for these surely know the way of the Lord, the ordinance of their God; but these altogether have broken the yoke, burst the bands.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:6 @ Therefore slayeth them the lion out of the forest, the wolf of the deserts wasteth them, the leopard lieth in wait against their cities: every one that cometh out thence shall be torn in pieces; because many are their transgressions, very numerous are their backslidings.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:7 @ How shall I for this pardon thee? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by those that are not gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlot’s house.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:8 @ As robust horses they rose by times in the morning: every one neighed after the wife of his neighbor.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:9 @ Shall I not for these things inflict punishment? saith the Lord: and shall on a nation such as this my soul not be avenged?

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:10 @ Scale ye her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: remove her young shoots; for they are not the Lord’s.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:11 @ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:12 @ They have denied the Lord, and said, "He existeth not; nor will evil come over us; and the sword and famine shall we not see.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:13 @ And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them:" thus shall it be done unto them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:14 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth to be a fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:15 @ Lo, I will bring over you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is a most ancient nation, a nation whose language thou wilt not know, and thou wilt not understand what they speak.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:16 @ Their quiver is as an open sepulchre: they are all mighty men.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:17 @ And they shall consume thy harvest, and thy bread; they shall consume thy sons and thy daughters; they shall consume thy flocks and thy herds; they shall consume thy vines and thy fig–trees; they shall depopulate thy fortified cities, those wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:18 @ Nevertheless even in those days, saith the Lord, will I not make a full end of you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:19 @ And it shall come to pass, when ye will say, For what reason hath the Lord our God done all these things unto us? that thou shalt say unto them, In the same manner as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:20 @ Announce this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:21 @ Do now hear this, O sottish people, who have no heart; who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not;

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:22 @ Will ye not fear me? saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand as a bound for the sea by an everlasting law, which it can never pass over? and though the waves thereof be upheaved, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:23 @ But this people hath a stubborn and a rebellious heart: they have departed and have gone their way.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:24 @ And they have not said in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, the early and the latter rain, in its season: the appointed weeks of the harvest doth he ever preserve for us.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:25 @ Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden what is good from you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:26 @ For there are found among my people wicked men: they lie in wait, as he that layeth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:27 @ As a coop is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore are they become great, and grown rich.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:28 @ They are grown fat, they are stout; yea, they surpass even the deeds of the wicked: they pronounce no sentence, the sentence of the fatherless, that they might prosper; and the cause of the needy do they not judge.

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:29 @ shall I not for these things inflict punishment? saith the Lord: or shall on a nation such as this my soul not be avenged?

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:30 @ An astonishing and horrible thing is committed in the land;

lesserot@Jeremiah:5:31 @ The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so; but what will ye do in the end thereof?

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:1 @ Assemble, O ye children of Benjamin, to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and in Tekoa, blow the cornet, and on Beth–hakkerem set up a fire signal; for evil is seen out of the north, and great havoc.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:2 @ The comely and the delicate, the daughter of Zion do I destroy.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:3 @ Unto her shall come shepherds with their flocks; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed off every one his own place.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:4 @ Prepare ye war against her! "Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day waneth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:5 @ Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces."

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:6 @ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Cut ye down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city whose time of punishment is come; she is full of oppression in her midst.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:7 @ As a well sendeth forth its waters, so doth she cause her wickedness to spring forth: violence and robbery are heard in her; in my presence there are continually disease and wounds.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:8 @ Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, that my soul tear itself not away from thee; that I render thee not desolate, a land which is not inhabited.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:9 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean like a vine the remnant of Israel: carry back thy hand as a grape–gatherer frequently to the baskets.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:10 @ To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot be attentive: behold, the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:11 @ And I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with sustaining it: pour it out over the child in the street, and over the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be seized, the aged with him that is full of days.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:12 @ And their houses shall be transferred unto others, fields and wives together; for I will stretch out my hand over the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:13 @ For from their least even unto their greatest, every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one practiseth falsehood.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:14 @ And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people very lightly, saying, Peace, peace: when there is no peace.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:15 @ They should have been ashamed, because they had committed an abomination; but they neither felt the least shame, nor did they know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among those that fall; at the time that I punish their sin shall they stumble, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:16 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Place yourselves on the ways, and see, and ask after the ancient paths, where is the way which is good, that ye may walk thereon, and find rest for your soul. But they said, We will not walk.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:17 @ Then did I set watchmen over you, Listen to the sound of the cornet. But they said, We will not listen.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:18 @ Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O assembly, what is among them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:19 @ Hear, O earth! behold, I will bring evil upon this people, the fruit of their thoughts; because unto my words have they not been attentive, and as regardeth my law,––that have they despised.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:20 @ To what purpose serveth me the frankincense which cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far–off country? your burnt–offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not agreeable unto me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:21 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will place before this people stumbling–blocks, and thereon shall stumble the fathers and the sons together, the neighbor and his friend, and they shall perish.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:22 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, a people is coming from the north country, and a great nation shall wake up from the farthest ends of the earth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:23 @ Bow and spear shall they firmly grasp; cruel are they, and will have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and upon horses do they ride; set in array as one man for the war, against thee, O daughter of Zion.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:24 @ We have heard the fame of him––our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, pain, as of a woman in giving birth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:25 @ Go not forth into the field, on the road must ye not walk; for the sword of the enemy, terror on every side.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:26 @ O daughter of my people, gird thyself with sackcloth, and roll thyself in the ashes: a mourning as for an only son prepare unto thee, a most bitter lamentation; for suddenly will the destroyer come over us.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:27 @ I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and probe their way.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:28 @ They all are grievous revolters, going about as talebearers, copper and iron: they all are corrupt.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:29 @ The bellows are burnt, by the fire the lead is consumed: in vain the melter refineth; for the wicked are not separated away.

lesserot@Jeremiah:6:30 @ Refuse silver men call them; because the Lord hath rejected them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:2 @ Place thyself in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in by these gates to bow down before the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:3 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will permit you to dwell in this place.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:4 @ do not rely on the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, they.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:5 @ For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your deeds; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:6 @ If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other gods to your own hurt:

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:7 @ Then will I permit you to dwell in this place, in the land that I have given to your fathers, from eternity to eternity.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:8 @ Behold, ye rely on the words of falsehood, that cannot profit.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:9 @ How? will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Ba’al, and walk after other gods of which ye have no knowledge;

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:10 @ And come and stand before my presence in this house, which is called by my name, and say, "We are delivered;" in order to do all these abominations?

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:11 @ Is then this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? I also, behold, I have seen it, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:12 @ For go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did unto it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:13 @ And now, whereas ye have done all these acts, saith the Lord, and I spoke unto you, causing to rise up early and speaking, while ye would not hear; and I called you, but ye would not answer:

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:14 @ Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, whereon ye rely, and unto the place which I have given to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:15 @ And I will cast you out of my presence, as I have cast out all your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:16 @ But thou––pray not thou in behalf of this people, nor lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer, nor make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:17 @ Dost thou not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:18 @ The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and they pour out drink–offerings unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:19 @ Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord, not themselves, to the shame of their own faces?

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:20 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, over man, and over beast, and over the trees of the field, and over the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and it shall not be quenched.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:21 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Add your burnt–offerings unto your peace–sacrifices, and eat the flesh thereof.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:22 @ For I spoke not with your fathers, and I commanded them not on the day of my bringing them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt–offering or sacrifice;

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:23 @ But this thing did I command them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be unto you for a God, and ye shall be unto me for a people; and walk ye altogether on the way which I may command you, in order that it may be well unto you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:24 @ Yet they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear; but they walked in the counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart; and they went backward, and not forward:

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:25 @ Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt until this day; and I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, sending them daily in the morning early;

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:26 @ Yet they hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear; but they hardened their neck; they did worse than their fathers.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:27 @ And if thou speak unto them all these words, and they will not hearken to thee; and if thou call unto them, and they will not answer thee:

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:28 @ Then shalt thou say unto them, This is the nation that hearken not to the voice of the Lord their God, and accept not correction; lost is the truth, and is obliterated from their mouth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:29 @ Cut off thy flowing hair, and cast it away, and take up on mountain–tops a lamentation; for rejected hath the Lord and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:30 @ For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, saith the Lord: they have set up their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:31 @ And they have built the high–places of Thophet, which is in the valley of Ben–hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I had not commanded, and which never came into my mind.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:32 @ Therefore, behold days are coming, saith the Lord, that it shall not be called any more Thophet, or The valley of Ben–hinnom, but The valley of slaughter: and they shall bury in Thophet, for want of room.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:33 @ And the carcasses of this people shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and unto the beasts of the earth, with none to chase them away.

lesserot@Jeremiah:7:34 @ And I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for a desert shall the land become.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:1 @ At that time, saith the Lord, shall they bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:2 @ And they shall spread them out before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and to which they have prostrated themselves: they shall not be gathered up, and they shall not be buried; dung upon the face of the ground shall they become.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:3 @ And death shall be preferable to life, for all the residue of those that are left of this evil family, who are left in all the places whither I shall have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:4 @ And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Shall they fall, and not arise? will he turn away, and not return?

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then remaineth this people, Jerusalem, rebellious by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast on deceit, they refuse to return.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I listened and heard, but they would not speak aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned again to his course, as the impetuous horse in the battle.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yea, the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle, and the swallow, atad the crane observe the time of their coming home; but my people know not the ordinance of the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How can ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Truly, behold in vain wrought the pen, in vain the writers.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise men are ashamed, they are discouraged and caught, lo, the word of the Lord have they rejected; and what wisdom have they?

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore will I give their wives unto others, their fields to conquerors; for from the least even unto the greatest, every one is seeking his own gain: from the prophet even unto the priest every one practiseth falsehood.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:11 @ And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people very lightly, saying, Peace, peace: when there is no peace.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:12 @ They should have been ashamed, because they had committed abomination; but they neither felt the least shame, nor did they know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among those that fall; at the time of their punishment shall they stumble, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will surely make an end of them, saith the Lord: no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig–tree, and the leaf shall wither; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:14 @ "Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us poison–water to drink; because we have sinned against the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:15 @ We hoped for peace, but no happiness is here; for a time of cure, and behold here is terror."

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:16 @ From Dan was heard the snorting of his horses; at the sound of the neighing of his war–steeds trembleth the whole land: and they are come, and devour the land, and all that filleth it; the city, and those that dwell therein.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:17 @ For, behold, I will send out against you serpents, basilisks, for which there is no charm, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:18 @ When I would cheer myself up against sorrow, my heart within me is pained.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold the voice of the complaint of the daughter of my people out of a far–off land: "Is the Lord not in Zion? is her king no more in her?" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with the vanities of the stranger?"

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:20 @ "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not yet helped."

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:21 @ Because of the breach of the daughter of my people am I broken: I am grieved; astonishment hath taken fast hold on me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gil’ad? or is no physician there? why then is there not placed a plaster the daughter of my people?

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Do not habituate yourselves on the way of the nations, and at the signs of the heavens be ye not dismayed; although the nations should be dismayed at them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:3 @ For the statutes of these people concern what is vanity; for it is but a tree which a man hath cut out of a forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:4 @ With silver and with gold do they ornament it; with nails and with hammers do they fasten it, that it move not from its place.

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:5 @ As a wrought–out palm–like column are they, and cannot speak; they must needs be borne, because they cannot step along. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do any harm, so also to do any good is not in them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:6 @ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord: thou art great, and great is thy name in might.

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:7 @ Who would not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:12 @ He made the earth by his power, he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:21 @ For the shepherds were brutish, and the Lord had they not sought; therefore have they not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.

lesserot@Jeremiah:10:22 @ Behold, the noise of the report is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to render the cities of Judah desolate, a dwelling for monsters.

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:2 @ Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:3 @ And say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that hearkeneth not to the words of this covenant,

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:4 @ Which I commanded your fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to my voice, and do the same, in accordance with all which I may command you; and so shall ye be to me for a people, and I will be to you for a God;

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:5 @ In order that I may fulfill the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give unto them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. And I answered, and said, So be it, O Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:6 @ Then said the Lord unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:7 @ For I earnestly warned your fathers on the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt even until this day, sending out early and warning, saying, Hearken to my voice;

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:8 @ Yet they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore did I bring over them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but which they did not.

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:9 @ And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy hath been found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:10 @ They are returned again to the iniquities of their earlier forefathers, who had refused to hearken to my words; and they themselves are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:12 @ Then let the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense; but they shall not save them in the least in the time of their distress.

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:13 @ For equal to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and equal to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the disgraceful idol, altars, to burn incense unto Ba’al.

lesserot@Jeremiah:11:14 @ But thou––thou must not pray in behalf of this people, neither lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer; for I will not hear at the time that they call unto me, because of their distress.

lesserot@Jeremiah:18:4 @ And the vessel that he was making became spoiled as with the clay in the hand of the potter; and he made again thereof another vessel, as it seemed good in the eyes of the potter to make it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:18:12 @ And they said, It is useless: for after our own thoughts will we walk, and we will every one do after the stubbornness of his evil heart.

lesserot@Jeremiah:19:8 @ And I will render this city desolate, and an derision: every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.

lesserot@Jeremiah:19:9 @ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his associate, in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and those that seek their life, shall distress them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:19:10 @ Then shalt thou break the bottle before the eyes of the men that are going with thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:19:11 @ And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, In this manner will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter’s vessel, that cannot be restored again; and in Thopheth shall they bury, for want of room to bury.

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:6 @ And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: of a great pestilence shall they die.

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:7 @ And afterward, saith the Lord, will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those that are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he will not spare them, nor have pity, nor have mercy.

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:8 @ And unto this people shalt thou say, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:9 @ He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, or by the famine, or by the pestilence; but he that goeth out, and runneth away to the Chaldeans that besiege you, shall remain alive, and his life shall be unto him as a booty.

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:10 @ For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: into the hand of the king of Babylon shall it be given up, and he will burn it with fire.

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:11 @ And to the house of the king of Judah, Hear ye the word of the Lord:

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:12 @ O house of David, thus hath said the Lord, Exercise justice on morning, and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor; lest my fury go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:13 @ Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitress of the valley, the rock of the plain, saith the Lord; who say, Who shall descend down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

lesserot@Jeremiah:21:14 @ But I will inflict punishment on you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in its forest, and it shall devour all its environs.

lesserot@Jeremiah:22:5 @ But if ye will not hear these words, then do I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a ruin.

lesserot@Jeremiah:22:6 @ For thus hath said the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah, A Gil’ad thou art unto me, a summit of the Lebanon: yet I will surely change thee into a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.

lesserot@Jeremiah:22:10 @ Weep not for the dead, and do not bemoan him: weep sorely for him that goeth away; for he shall never return any more, and see the land of his birth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:22:11 @ For thus hath said the Lord respecting Shallum the son of Josiah the king of Judah, who reigneth in the place of Josiah his father, who is gone forth out of this place, He shall never return thither any more;

lesserot@Jeremiah:22:16 @ He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then was it well: is not this the proper knowledge of me? saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:22:17 @ But thy eyes and thy heart are directed on nothing but upon thy own gain, and upon innocent blood to shed it, and upon oppression, and upon extortion, to practise them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:24:7 @ And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto them for God! for they will return unto me with all their heart.

lesserot@Jeremiah:24:8 @ And like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, from being so bad, surely thus hath said the Lord, So I will render Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and those that dwell in the land of Egypt;

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:4 @ And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, making rise early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, and have not inclined your ear to hear.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:5 @ They said, O do turn away every one from his evil way, and from the wrongfulness of your doings; and ye shall remain in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers, for from eternity to eternity;

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:6 @ And go not after other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will not injure you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:7 @ Yet have ye not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord: in order that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your own hands to your own injury.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:8 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Because ye have not hearkened to my words:

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:9 @ Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all these nations round about, and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a derision, and perpetual ruins.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:10 @ And I will banish from them the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, and the light of the lamp.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:11 @ And this whole land shall become a ruin and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:12 @ And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are completed, that I will visit on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, saith the Lord, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and will change it into perpetual desolations.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:13 @ And I will bring over that land all my words which I have spoken concerning it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning all the nations.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:14 @ For when many nations and great kings shall have made them also serve: I will then recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their own hands.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:15 @ For thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel unto me, Take the cup of the wine of this fury out of my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:25:16 @ And they shall drink, and reel about, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:26:8 @ And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized on him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.

lesserot@Jeremiah:26:9 @ Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, Like Shiloh shall this house be, and this city shall be ruined, without an inhabitant? And all the people assembled themselves against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:26:10 @ But when the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down at the entrance of the new gate of the Lord’s house.

lesserot@Jeremiah:26:19 @ Did Hezekiah the king of Judah and all Judah attempt to put him to death? behold, he did fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, and the Lord bethought him of the evil which he had spoken against them. And shall we bring a great wickedness on our souls?

lesserot@Jeremiah:27:3 @ And send such to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of ‘Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by means of the messengers who come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah the king of Judah;

lesserot@Jeremiah:27:8 @ And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck in the yoke of the king of Babylon,––even that nation will I punish with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, saith the Lord, until I have made an end of them by his hand.

lesserot@Jeremiah:27:9 @ But do ye not hearken to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your enchanters, and to your sorcerers, who speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;

lesserot@Jeremiah:27:10 @ For falsehood do they prophesy unto you, in order to remove you far from your land; and that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:1 @ And it came to pass in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that there said unto me Chananyah the son of ‘Azzur the prophet, who was from Gib’on, in the house of the Lord, before the eyes of the priests, and of all the people, as followeth,

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:3 @ Within yet two years’ time will I cause to be brought back unto this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath taken away from this place, and which he hath carried to Babylon:

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:4 @ And Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah that are gone to Babylon, will I cause to return to this place, saith the Lord; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:5 @ Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:6 @ Yea, then said Jeremiah the prophet, Amen, may the Lord do so: may the Lord fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, to cause the vessels of the Lord’s house, and all that have been carried into exile, to be brought back from Babylon unto this place.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:7 @ Nevertheless hear thou now this word which I speak before thy ears, and before the ears of all the people:

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:8 @ The prophets that have been before me and before thee from olden times prophesied both concerning many countries, and against great kingdoms, respecting war, and respecting evil, and respecting pestilence.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:9 @ The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet doth come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, whom the Lord hath sent in truth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:10 @ Then took Chananyah the prophet the yoke–bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and broke it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:11 @ And Chananyah said before the eyes of all the people, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two years’ time from the neck of all the nations. And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:12 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, after Chananyah the prophet had broken the yoke–bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:13 @ Go and say unto Chananyah as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Yoke–bars of wood hast thou broken; but thou shalt make in their stead yoke–bars of iron.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:14 @ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, A yoke of iron have I placed upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; and they shall work for him: and also the beasts of the field have I given him.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:15 @ Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:18 @ And I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will make them a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and an astonishment, and a derision, and a disgrace, among all the nations whither I have driven them;

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:19 @ For the reason that they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, since I sent unto them my servants the prophets, causing them to rise up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:20 @ But ye––hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:21 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Achab the son of Kolayah, and of Zedekiah the son of Ma’asseyah, who prophesy unto you in my name falsehood, Behold, I will give them up into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon: and he shall smite them before your eyes.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:27 @ And now, why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of ‘Anathoth, who prophesieth to you?

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:28 @ For the reason that he hath sent unto us to Babylon saying, It will last a long time: build ye houses, and dwell therein; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit thereof.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:29 @ And Zephanyah the priest read the letter before the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:14 @ All thy lovers have forgotten thee; thee they seek not; for with the blow of an enemy have I smitten thee, with cruel chastisement, for the multitude of thy iniquity, because thy sins were so numerous.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:15 @ Why wilt thou cry out because of thy breach? for thy pain which is incurable? because of the multitude of thy iniquity, because thy sins were so numerous, have I done these things unto thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:16 @ Nevertheless all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thy adversaries, all of them, shall go into captivity; and they that plunder thee shall be to plunder, and all that prey upon thee will I give up for a prey.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:17 @ For I will place a healing plaster on thy bruise, and of thy wounds will I cure thee, saith the Lord; because they called thee "an Outcast." "This is Zion, whom no one seeketh after."

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:18 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring back again the captivity of the tents of Jacob, and on his dwelling–places will I have mercy; and the city shall be rebuilt upon her own heap of ruins, and the palace shall be inhabited after its manner.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:19 @ And there shall proceed out of them thanksgiving, and the voice of those that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; I will also make them numerous, and they shall not be made few in number.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:20 @ And their children shall be as aforetimes, and their congregation shall be firmly established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:21 @ And their leader shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me; for who is this that will venture of his own heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:22 @ And ye shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto you for a God.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:23 @ Behold, the storm–wind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, an abiding storm–wind: upon the head of the wicked shall it fall.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:24 @ The fierceness of the anger of the Lord will not turn back, until he have done, and until he have fulfilled the purposes of his heart: in the latter days shall ye understand this.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah the king of Judah, which is the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:2 @ And at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:3 @ Because Zedekiah the king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore art thou prophesying, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:4 @ And Zedekiah the king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, because he shall surely be given up into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak to his mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:5 @ And to Babylon shall he lead Zedekiah, and there shall he remain until I think of him, saith the Lord: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:6 @ And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:7 @ Behold, Chanamel the son of Shallum thy uncle is coming unto thee, saying, Buy for thyself my field that is in ‘Anathoth; for unto thee belongeth the right of redemption to buy it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:8 @ And there came to me Chanamel my uncle’s son according to the word of the Lord into the court of the prison, and he said unto me, Buy, I pray thee, my field, that is in ‘Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for to thee belongeth the right of inheritance, and to thee belongeth the redemption, buy it for thyself: then did I know that it was the word of the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:9 @ And I bought the field from Chanamel my uncle’s son, that is in ‘Anathoth; and I weighed out unto him the money, seven shekels, and ten pieces of silver.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:10 @ And I wrote it in a deed, and sealed it, and had it certified by witnesses, and weighed the money in balances.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:11 @ And I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, according to the law and custom, and that which was open;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:12 @ And I gave the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriyah, the son of Machseyah, before the eyes of Chanamel my kinsman, and before the eyes of the witnesses that had signed the deed of the purchase, before the eyes of all the Jews that were sitting in the court of the prison.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:13 @ And I charged Baruch before their eyes, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:14 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both the sealed, and this open deed, and place them in an earthen vessel, in order that they may last many days.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:15 @ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Yet again shall there be bought houses and fields and vineyards in this land.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:16 @ And I prayed to the Lord after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriyah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:17 @ Ah Lord Eternal! behold, it is thou that hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thy outstretched arm; nothing is too wonderful for thee;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:18 @ Thou exercisest kindness unto the thousandth, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers unto the bosom of their children after them; the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts is his name;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:19 @ Great in counsel, and mighty in execution: whose eyes are open over all the ways of the sons of man, to give unto every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:20 @ Who hast displayed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, up to this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and thou hast made thyself a name, as it is at this day;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:21 @ And thou didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:22 @ And thou gavest them this land, which thou hadst sworn to their fathers to give unto them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:23 @ And they came in, and took possession of it; but they hearkened not to thy voice, and in thy law they did not walk; all that thou hadst commanded them to do they did not do: and thou hast therefore caused all this evil to befall them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:24 @ Behold the mounds reach unto the city to capture it; and the city is given up into the hand of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:25 @ And yet thou hast said unto me, O Lord Eternal, Buy for thyself the field for money, and have it certified by witnesses: while the city is given up into the hand of the Chaldeans.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:26 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:27 @ Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: shall any thing be too wonderful for me?

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:28 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it:

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:29 @ And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon the roofs of which they have offered incense unto Ba’al, and have poured out drink–offerings unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:30 @ For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have been doing only what is evil in my eyes from their youth; for the children of Israel have been only provoking me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:31 @ For to excite my anger and my fury hath been unto me this city from the day that they built it, even until this day; so that I will remove it from before my presence:

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:32 @ Because of all the wickedness of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:33 @ And they turned unto me the back, and not the face: though taught them, rising up early and teaching; yet they hearkened not to receive instruction.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:34 @ But they placed their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:35 @ And they built the high–places of Ba’al, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech; which I had not commanded them, and which had not come into my mind, to practise this abomination, in order to mislead Judah to sin.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:36 @ But now, therefore, thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, it is given up into the hand of the king of Babylon through the sword, and through the famine, and through the pestilence:

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:37 @ Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, whither I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them back again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:38 @ And they shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto them for a God:

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:39 @ And I will give them one heart, and one manner, to fear me at all times, that it may be well with them, and with their children after them;

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:40 @ And I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good on my part; and my fear will I place in their heart, so that they may not depart from me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:41 @ And I will be glad over them to do them good; and I will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:42 @ For thus hath said the Lord, Just as I have brought upon this people all this great evil, so will I bring upon them all the good that I speak concerning them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:43 @ And the field shall yet be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast, it is given up into the hand of the Chaldeans.

lesserot@Jeremiah:32:44 @ Men shall buy fields for money, and write it in deeds, and seal it, and certify it by witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountain, and in the cities of the lowlands, and in the cities of the south; for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:1 @ And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord who doth this, the Lord that formeth it, to establish it: the Eternal is his name;

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:3 @ Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will tell thee great and unheard of things, which thou knowest not.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:4 @ For thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by means of the mounds, and by means of the sword;

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:5 @ As they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill those with the corpses of the men whom I slay in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:6 @ Behold, I will bring it healing and cure, and I will cure them, and I will display unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:7 @ And I will cause to return the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and I will build them up, as at the first.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:8 @ And I will cleanse them from all their guiltiness, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned toward me, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:9 @ And it shall be to me for a name of gladness, a praise and an honor with all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I am doing unto them: and they shall dread and tremble because of all the good and because of all the happiness that I prepare unto it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:10 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Yet again shall there be heard in this place, of which ye say, "It is ruined, without man and without beast" in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:11 @ The voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those that say, "Give thanks unto the Lord of hosts; for the Lord is good; because to eternity endureth his kindness:" of those that bring thanksgiving–offering unto the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:12 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Yet again shall there be in this place, which is ruined, without man and even without beast, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds who cause their flocks to lie down.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:13 @ In the cities of the mountain, in the cities of the lowlands, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks yet pass again under the hands of him that counteth them, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:14 @ Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will fulfill that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and respecting the house of Judah.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:15 @ In those days, and at that time, will I cause to grow up unto David the sprout of righteousness: and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:16 @ In those days shall Judah be helped, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this is what she shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:17 @ For thus hath said the Lord, There shall never be wanting unto David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:18 @ And unto the priests the Levites there shall not be wanting a man before me, to offer burnt–offerings, and to burn meat–offerings, and to prepare sacrifices at all times.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:19 @ And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:20 @ Thus hath said the Lord, If ye can break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, and so, that there be not day and night in their season:

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:21 @ Then also shall my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:22 @ As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, and the sand of the sea not be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:23 @ And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:24 @ Hast thou not observed what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath made choice of, even these hath he rejected: and they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:25 @ Thus hath said the Lord, If my covenant be not with day and night, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth:

lesserot@Jeremiah:33:26 @ Then also will I reject the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:1 @ The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the country ruled by his power, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Go and speak to Zedekiah the king of Judah, and say to him, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, that he may burn it with fire:

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:3 @ And thou thyself shalt not escape out of his hand; but thou shalt surely be caught, and be delivered into his hand; and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and to Babylon shalt thou go.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:4 @ Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord respecting thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:5 @ In peace shalt thou die; and as burnings were made for thy fathers, the former kings who were before thee, so shall they make burnings for thee; and "Ah lord" shall they lament for thee; for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:6 @ And Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Zedekiah the king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem,

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:7 @ When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against ‘Azekah; for these had been left of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:8 @ The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim among themselves freedom;

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:9 @ That every man should dismiss his man–servant, and every man his maid–servant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, free; so that no man among them should exact labor of a Jew, his brother.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:10 @ And all the princes had hearkened, with all the people, who had entered into the covenant, that every one should dismiss his man–servant, and every one his maid–servant, free, that no one should exact labor of them any more: and they had obeyed, and dismissed them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:11 @ But they had turned afterward, and they had brought back the men–servants and the maid–servants whom they had dismissed as free, and had subjected them to become men–servants and maid–servants.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:12 @ And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:13 @ Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel,––I myself made a covenant with your fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:14 @ At the end of seven years shall ye dismiss every man his brother the Hebrew, who may have been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, then shalt thou dismiss him from thee; but your fathers hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:15 @ And ye had turned this day, and done what is right in my eyes, to proclaim freedom every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house over which my name is called;

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:16 @ But ye have turned again, and profaned my name, and ye have brought back every man his man–servant, and every man his woman–servant, whom ye had dismissed as free at their pleasure, and have subjected them to be unto you for men–servants and for women–servants.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:17 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Ye indeed have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim freedom, every one to his brother, and every one to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a freedom over you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:18 @ And I will give up the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not fulfilled the words of the covenant which they had made before me, at the calf which they cut in twain, and between the parts whereof they passed,

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:19 @ The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the court–servants, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf;

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:20 @ I will give them up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:21 @ And Zedekiah the king of Judah and his princes will I give up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, that are gone away from you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:34:22 @ Behold, I will command, speaketh the Lord, and I will bring them back to this city; and they shall fight against it, and capture it, and burn it with fire: and the cities of Judah will I make a desert without an inhabitant.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:2 @ Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and offer them wine to drink.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:3 @ Then I took Yaazanyah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Chabazzinyah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:4 @ And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Chanan, the son of Yigdalyahu, the man of God, which was alongside of the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Ma’aseyahu the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:5 @ And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups; and I said unto them, Drink wine.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:6 @ But they said, We will not drink wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father hath laid a charge on us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever;

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:7 @ Nor shall ye build any house, nor sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have; but in tents shall ye dwell all your days, in order that ye may live many days on the face of the land where ye may sojourn.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:8 @ And we have hearkened unto the voice of Jehonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, not to drink any wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:9 @ And not to build houses for our dwelling: and we never had any vineyard, or field, or seed;

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:10 @ But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done in accordance with all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:11 @ But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go into Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans, and because of the army of the Syrians; and so we dwell at Jerusalem.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:12 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:13 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:14 @ Fulfilled are the words of Jehonadab the son of Rechab, that he hath commanded his sons not to drink wine: and they have not drunk any even unto this day; because they have obeyed the commandment of their father; but I, I have spoken unto you, early in the day and speaking; but ye have not hearkened unto me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:15 @ And I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, making them rise up early and sending them, saying, Do but return every man from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and go not after other gods to serve them: and so shall ye remain in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers; but ye have not inclined your ear, and have not hearkened unto me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:16 @ Because the sons of Jehonadab the son of Rechab have fulfilled the commandment of their father, which he hath commanded them; but as this people have not hearkened unto me:

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:17 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have spoken concerning them; because I spoke unto them, but they would not hear; and I called unto them, but they would not answer.

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:18 @ And unto the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Whereas ye have hearkened to the charge of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and have done in accordance with all that he hath commanded you:

lesserot@Jeremiah:35:19 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, There shall not be wanting unto Jehonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before me at all times.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:1 @ And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:2 @ Take thee a roll–book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day that I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even until this day.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:3 @ Peradventure it be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them: in order that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:4 @ Then did Jeremiah call Baruch the son of Neriyah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll–book.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:5 @ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I am not able to enter into the house of the Lord:

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:6 @ Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord before the ears of the people in the house of the Lord on the fast–day; and also before the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities shalt thou read them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:7 @ Perhaps it may be that they will humbly present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way; for great are the anger and the fury that the Lord hath decreed against this people.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:8 @ And Baruch the son of Neriyah did in accordance with all that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him, to read in the book the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:9 @ And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord for all the people in Jerusalem, and for all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:10 @ And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemaryahu the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entrance of the new gate of the Lord’s house, before the ears of all the people.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:11 @ And when Michayhu the son of Gemaryahu, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord out of the book:

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:12 @ He went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber; and, lo, all the princes were sitting there, even Elishama’ the scribe, and Delayahu the son of Shema’yahu, and Elnathan the son of ‘Achbor, and Gemaryahu the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Chananyahu, and all the princes.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:13 @ And Michayhu told unto them all the words which he had heard, when Baruch read in the book before the ears of the people.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:14 @ Thereupon sent all the princes Jehudi the son of Nethanyahu, the son of Shelemyahu, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, The roll wherein thou hast read before the ears of the people,––this take in thy hand, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriyahu took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:15 @ And they said unto him, Sit down, we pray thee, and read it before our ears. So Baruch read it before their ears.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:16 @ Now it came to pass, when they heard all the words, they looked terrified at each other, and they said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:17 @ And they asked Baruch, saying, Do tell us, How didst thou write down all these words from his mouth?

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:18 @ Then said Baruch unto them, With his mouth did he utter clearly all these words unto me, and I wrote them in the book with ink.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:19 @ Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thyself, thou with Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:20 @ And they went in to the king into the court, but the roll they had put in safe keeping in the chamber of Elishama’ the scribe; and they told before the ears of the king all the words.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:21 @ But the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama’ the scribe. And Jehudi read it before the ears of the king, and before the ears of all the princes who stood around the king.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:22 @ Now the king was sitting in the winter–house in the ninth month: and a pan of coals was burning before him.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:23 @ And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four pages, that he cut it with the writer’s knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the coal–pan, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the coal–pan.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:24 @ Yet they were not terrified, nor did they rend their garments, either the king, or any of his servants that had heard all these words.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:25 @ And although Elnathan and Delayahu and Gemaryahu had also made intercession with the king that he might not burn the roll, he would not listen to them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:26 @ And the king commanded Yerachmeel the son of the king, and Serayahu the son of ‘Azriel, and Shelemyahu the son of ‘Abdeel, to seize on Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the Lord hid them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:27 @ Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the roll, and the words which Baruch had written down from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:28 @ Take thee again another roll, and write on it all the former words that have been on the first roll, which Jehoyakim the king of Judah hath burnt.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:29 @ And concerning Jehoyakim the king of Judah shalt thou say, Thus hath said the Lord, Thou hast indeed burnt this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease therefrom man and beast!

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:30 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning Jehoyakim the king of Judah, He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat in the day, and to the cold in the night.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:31 @ And I will visit on him and on his seed and on his servants their iniquity; and I will bring over them, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and against the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken against them, while they did not hearken.

lesserot@Jeremiah:36:32 @ And Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriyahu the scribe; who wrote thereon from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoyakim the king of Judah had burnt in the fire: and there were yet added unto them many words like them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:1 @ And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king in the place of Conyahu the son of Jehoyakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:2 @ But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of Jeremiah the prophet.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:3 @ And king Zedekiah sent Jehuchal the son of Shelemyah and Zephanyahu the son of Ma’asseyah the priest unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Pray now in our behalf unto the Lord our God.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:4 @ Now Jeremiah came and went out among the people; and they put him not into the prison–house.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:5 @ But the army of Pharaoh was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard the report of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:6 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:7 @ Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that hath sent you unto me to inquire of me, Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, returneth into its own land to Egypt.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:8 @ But the Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city, and capture it, and burn it with fire.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:9 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans will certainly go away from us; for they will not go away.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:10 @ For if even ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained among them men as are pierced through: yet should they rise up, every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:11 @ And it came to pass, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of the army of Pharaoh,

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:12 @ That Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to make his escape thence in the midst of the people.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:13 @ But as he was in the gate of Benjamin, there was there a captain of the guardsmen, whose name was Yiriyah, the son of Shelemyah, the son of Chananyah; and he seized hold of Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou runnest away to the Chaldeans.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:14 @ But Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not running away to the Chaldeans. But he listened not to him; and Yiriyah seized hold of Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:15 @ Thereupon were the princes wroth with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for that had they made into a prison–house.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:16 @ When Jeremiah had been placed in the dungeon, within the traders’ shops, where Jeremiah remained many days:

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:17 @ King Zedekiah sent, and had him taken out, and the king asked him in his house in secret, and said, "Is there any word from the Lord?" And Jeremiah said, "There is:" and he said, Into the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be given up.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:18 @ And Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I sinned against thee, and against thy servants, and against this people, that ye have put me into the prison–house?

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:19 @ And where are now your prophets who have prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon will not come against you, and against this land?

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:20 @ Yet now, do but hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let me offer my humble supplication, I pray thee, before thee, that thou wilt not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

lesserot@Jeremiah:37:21 @ Then commanded king Zedekiah that they should put Jeremiah in ward in the court of the prison, and that they should give him a loaf of bread for every day out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread was spent out of the city. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:1 @ And Shephatyah the son of Matthan, and Gedalyahu the son of Pashchur, and Juchal the son of Shelemyahu, and Pashchur the son of Malkiyah, heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking unto all the people, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; and he shall have his life as a booty, and shall live.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:3 @ Thus hath said the Lord, This city shall surely be given up into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:4 @ Thereupon said the princes unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death; for the cause that he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that are yet left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words unto them; for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but their hurt.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:5 @ Then said king Zedekiah, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not able to do any thing against you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:6 @ Then did they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malkiyahu the son of the king, that was in the court of the prison: and they let Jeremiah down with cords; but in the pit there was no water, but mire; so that Jeremiah sunk into the mire.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:7 @ Now when ‘Ebed–melech the Cushi, a eunuch who was in the king’s house, heard that they had placed Jeremiah into the pit; while the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin:

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:8 @ ‘Ebed–melech went forth out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:9 @ My lord, O king, these men have done wrong in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit; and he would have had to die in the place where he was for hunger; for there is no more bread in the city.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:10 @ The king then commanded ‘Ebed–melech the Cushi, saying, Take with thee from here thirty men, and bring up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit, before he die.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:11 @ So ‘Ebed–melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence cast–off clothes and old rags, and let them down into the pit to Jeremiah by cords.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:12 @ And Ebed–melech the Cushi said unto Jeremiah, Put, I pray, these cast–off clothes and old rags under thy arm–pits beneath the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:13 @ So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and brought him up out of the pit: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:14 @ Then sent king Zedekiah, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that was in the house of the Lord; and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee something: conceal nothing from me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:15 @ Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, If I should tell it unto thee, behold, thou wilt surely put me to death; and if I should give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:16 @ So king Zedekiah swore unto Jeremiah secretly, saying, As the Lord liveth, who hath made for us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I give thee up into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:17 @ Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, If thou wilt indeed go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thy soul live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire; and thou shalt live, thou with thy household;

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:18 @ But if thou wilt not go forth to the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be given up into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:19 @ Then said king Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, I am in dread of the Jews that have run away to the Chaldeans, lest these deliver me into their hand, and they might ill–use me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:20 @ But Jeremiah said, They will not give up. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, in that which I speak unto thee; so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:21 @ But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the Lord hath shown me:

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:22 @ And behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah shall be led forth to the princes of the king of Babylon; and these women shall say, "They have enticed, and have overpersuaded thee––thy men that should have sought thy welfare; thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they have withdrawn themselves backward."

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:23 @ And all thy wives and thy children shall they bring out to the Chaldeans; and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand; for by the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be caught; and this city wilt thou cause to be burnt with fire.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:24 @ Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, that thou mayest not die.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:25 @ And if the princes should hear that I have spoken with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, tell us, we pray thee, what thou hast spoken unto the king, conceal it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king hath spoken unto thee:

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:26 @ Then shalt thou say unto them, I presented my humble supplication before the king, that he would not send me back to the house of Jonathan, to die there.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:27 @ And all the princes came unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them in accordance with all these words that the king had commanded. And they turned away silent from him; for the matter had not been made public.

lesserot@Jeremiah:38:28 @ And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass when Jerusalem was captured,

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:1 @ In the ninth year of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the tenth month, that Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:2 @ in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, was the city broken in.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:3 @ And then came all the princes of the king of Babylon, and sat down in the middle gate; Neregal–sharezer, Samgar–nebu, Sarsechim, the chief of the eunuchs, Neregal–sharezer, the chief of the magi, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:4 @ And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls: and he went out by the way of the plain.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:5 @ But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Chamath: and he called him to account.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:6 @ And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes; also all the nobles of Judah did the king of Babylon slaughter.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:7 @ And the eyes of Zedekiah did he blind; and he bound him with brazen fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:8 @ And the house of the king, and the houses of the people did the Chaldeans burn with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem did they pull down.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:9 @ And the rest of the people that remained in the city, and those who had run away that had run away to him, with the rest of the people that remained, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry off into exile to Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:10 @ But of the poorest of the people, who had nothing, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard leave some in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and arable fields at the same time.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:11 @ And Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah through means of Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:12 @ Take him, and direct thy eyes to him, and do him not the least harm; but as he may speak unto thee, even so do thou with him.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:13 @ Then sent Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, and Nebushazban, the chief of the eunuchs, and Neregal–sharezer, the chief of the magi, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon,––

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:14 @ Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and they committed him unto Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan, to carry him home: and he remained in the midst of the people.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:15 @ But unto Jeremiah was come the word of the Lord while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:16 @ Go and say to ‘Ebed–melech the Cushi as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring my words against this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee on that day.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:17 @ But I will deliver thee on that day, saith the Lord; and thou shalt not be given up into the hand of the men of whom thou hast dread.

lesserot@Jeremiah:39:18 @ For I will surely let thee escape, and thou shalt not fall by the sword; but thy life shall be unto thee as a booty; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:1 @ The word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had dismissed him from Ramah, when he had taken him as he was bound in chains in the midst of all the exiles of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away into exile unto Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:2 @ Then took the captain of the guard Jeremiah, and said unto him, The Lord thy God had spoken this evil over this place;

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:3 @ Now the Lord hath brought it, and hath done according as he had spoken; because ye had sinned against the Lord, and had not hearkened to his voice; and therefore is this thing come upon you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:4 @ And now, behold, I have freed thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hand. If it seem good in thy eyes to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will direct my eye unto thee; but if it seem ill in thy eyes to come with me to Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee; whither it seemeth good and proper in thy eyes to go, thither go.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:5 @ And as he did not yet turn about, Go then back to Gedalyah the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath appointed governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the midst of the people; or wheresoever it seemeth proper in thy eyes to go, go. And the captain of the guard gave him an allowance and a present, and then dismissed him.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:6 @ So did Jeremiah come unto Gedalyah the son of Achikam to Mizpah; and he dwelt with him in the midst of the people that had been left in the land.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:7 @ Now when all the captains of the armies who were in the field, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedalyahu the son of Achikam governor over the land, and that he had entrusted unto him men, and women, and children, and these of the poorest of the land, of those that had not been carried away into exile to Babylon:

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:8 @ Then came they to Gedalyah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethanyahu, and Jochanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth, and the sons of ‘Ephai the Netophathite, and Yezanyahu the son of a Ma’achathite, they and their men.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:9 @ And Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan swore unto them and unto their men, saying, Have no fear to serve the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:10 @ As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans, who will come unto us; but ye, gather ye together wine, and summer–fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities of which ye have taken possession.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:11 @ And so likewise all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of ‘Ammon, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant unto Judah, and that he had appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan;

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:12 @ And then did all the Jews return out of all places whither they had been driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedalyahu, unto Mizpah, and gathered together wine and summer–fruits in very great abundance.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:13 @ And Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies that were in the field, came to Gedalyahu to Mizpah,

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:14 @ And they said unto him, Dost thou at all know that Ba’alis the king of the children of ‘Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethanyah to deprive thee of life? But Gedalyahu the son of Achikam believed them not.

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:15 @ And Jochanan the son of Kareach said to Gedalyahu secretly in Mizpah, as followeth, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and no man shall know of it: wherefore should he deprive thee of life, whereby all the Jews who are gathered unto thee would be scattered, and the remnant of Judah be lost?

lesserot@Jeremiah:40:16 @ But Gedalyahu the son of Achikam said unto Jochanan the son of Kareach, Thou shalt not do this thing; for thou speakest a falsehood concerning Ishmael.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:1 @ Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah the son of Elishama’, of the royal seed, and the chiefs of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedalyahu the son of Achikam to Mizpah; and they ate there bread together in Mizpah.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:2 @ Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and put to death him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor over the land.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:3 @ And all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedalyahu, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, even the men of war, did Ishmael slay.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:4 @ And it came to pass on the second day after he had put Gedalyahu to death, while no man knew of it,

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:5 @ That there came certain men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meat–offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring the same to the house of the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:6 @ And Ishmael the son of Nethanyah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, going along and weeping: and it came to pass as he met them, that he said unto them, Come to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:7 @ And it happened, as they entered into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethanyah slaughtered them, into the midst of the cistern, he, and the men that were with him.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:8 @ But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not; for we have some things hidden in the field, wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey. So he forbore, and slew them not in the midst of their brethren.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:9 @ And the cistern wherein Ishmael cast all the corpses of the men, whom he had slain in company with Gedalyahu, is the same which king Assa had made on account of Ba’sha the king of Israel: this did Ishmael the son of Nethanyah fill with slain persons.

lesserot@Jeremiah:41:10 @ Then did Ishmael carry away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, the king’s daughters, and all the people that were remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had entrusted to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethanyah carried them away captive, and went off to pass over to the children of Ammon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:2 @ That then spoke ‘Azaryah the son of Hosha’yah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the presumptuous men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there;

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:3 @ But Baruch the son of Neriyah setteth thee on against us, in order to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, or carry us away as exiles to Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:4 @ So Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies, and all the people, hearkened not to the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Judah.

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:5 @ But Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations, whither they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Judah;

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:6 @ The men, and the women, and the children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriyah;

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:7 @ And they entered into the land of Egypt; for they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord; and they came as far as Thachpanches.

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:8 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Thachpanches, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:9 @ Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in the mortar in the brick–kiln which is at the entrance of Pharaoh’s house in Thachpanches, before the eyes of the Jewish men;

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:10 @ And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:11 @ And he shall come and smite the land of Egypt: such as are destined for death shall be given to death; and such as are destined for captivity, to captivity; and such as are destined for the sword, to the sword.

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:12 @ And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall wrap around him the land of Egypt, as a shepherd wrappeth his garment around him; and he shall go forth from there in peace.

lesserot@Jeremiah:43:13 @ And he shall break the statues of Bethshemesh, which is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah for all the Jews who dwell in the land of Egypt, who dwell at Migdol, and at Thachpanches, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:3 @ Because of their wickedness which they had committed to provoke me to anger, by going to burn incense, to serve other gods, whom they did not know, either they, you, or your fathers.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:4 @ And I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, making them rise early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not commit this abominable thing which I hate.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:5 @ But they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear to turn away from their wickedness, so as not to burn incense unto other gods.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:6 @ Whereupon my fury and my anger were poured forth, and were enkindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are become ruins, a desert, as at this day.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:7 @ And now thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, Wherefore do ye commit so great an evil against your souls, so as to cut off unto you man and woman, child and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, so as not to leave you any remainder,

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:8 @ By provoking me unto wrath with the works of your hands, in burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye are come to sojourn there, in order to cut yourselves off, and in order that ye might become a curse and a disgrace among all the nations of the earth?

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:9 @ Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they had committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:11 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:12 @ And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all come to their end, and in the land of Egypt shall they fall: by the sword by the famine shall they come to their end; from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine shall they die; and they shall become an oath, an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:13 @ And I will inflict punishment on those that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have inflicted punishment on Jerusalem, through the sword, through the famine, and through the pestilence:

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:14 @ So that there shall be no one that escapeth or remaineth of the remnant of Judah, who are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, that they should return into the land of Judah, to which they direct their soul to return thither to dwell there; for they shall not return, but such as shall escape.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:15 @ Then did all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, and all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answer Jeremiah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:16 @ Respecting the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:17 @ For to a surety we will do all the word that is gone forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink–offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: when we had plenty of food, and fared well, and saw no evil.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:18 @ But since the time we have left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink–offerings unto her, have we had a lack of every thing; and we have come to our end through the sword and through the famine.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:19 @ And when we burnt incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink–offerings unto her,––was this without our husbands, that we did make cakes for her to make her image, and pour out drink–offerings unto her?

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:20 @ Then said Jeremiah unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people who had answered him word, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:21 @ Behold, it was the incense that ye burnt in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord remembered, and which came into his mind;

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:22 @ So that the Lord could no longer endure it, because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations which ye had committed: therefore is your land become a ruin, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:23 @ Because that ye had burnt incense, and because ye had sinned against the Lord, and had not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and had not walked in his law, in his statutes, and in his testimonies: therefore did this evil befall you, as it is this day.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:24 @ And Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt,

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:25 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink–offerings unto her: ye will fully accomplish your vows, and fully perform your vows.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:26 @ Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt, Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that my name shall no more be called by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, "As the Lord Eternal liveth," in all the land of Egypt.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:27 @ Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall come to their end through the sword and through the famine, until they be destroyed.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:28 @ Yet some that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, but few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are come into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand firm, mine, or theirs.

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:29 @ And this shall be unto you the sign, saith the Lord, that I will inflict punishment on you in this place, in order that ye may know that my words shall surely stand firm against you for evil:

lesserot@Jeremiah:44:30 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give Pharaoh–chophra’ the king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those that seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah the king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, his enemy, and who had sought his life.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:6 @ The swift cannot flee away, nor can the mighty man escape: toward the north by the shore of the river Euphrates do they stumble and fall.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:7 @ Who is this that cometh up like a stream, whose waters are upheaved like the rivers?

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:8 @ Egypt cometh up like a stream, and like the rivers are the waters upheaved; and he saith, I will go up, I will cover the land; I will destroy the city and those that dwell therein.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:9 @ Come up, ye horses; and rush along wildly, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: Cush and Put, that grasp the shield, and the Ludim, that grasp and bend the bow.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:10 @ And this same day is for the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, a day of vengeance, to be avenged on his adversaries; that the sword may devour, and may be satiated and made drunken with their blood; for there is a sacrifice for the Lord the Eternal of hosts in the north country by the river Euphrates.
