nkjv@Isaiah:5:2 @ He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; So He expected it to bring forth good grapes, But it brought forth wild grapes.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:6 @ I will lay it waste; It shall not be pruned or dug, But there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds That they rain no rain on it."

nkjv@Isaiah:5:9 @ In my hearing the LORD of hosts said, "Truly, many houses shall be desolate, Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:10 @ For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah."

nkjv@Isaiah:5:11 @ Woe to those who rise early in the morning, That they may follow intoxicating drink; Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!

nkjv@Isaiah:5:12 @ The harp and the strings, The tambourine and flute, And wine are in their feasts; But they do not regard the work of the LORD, Nor consider the operation of His hands.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:13 @ Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:14 @ Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:15 @ People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:16 @ But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:17 @ Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture, And in the waste places of the fat ones strangers shall eat.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:18 @ Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, And sin as if with a cart rope;

nkjv@Isaiah:5:19 @ That say, "Let Him make speed and hasten His work, That we may see it; And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, That we may know it."

nkjv@Isaiah:5:20 @ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

nkjv@Isaiah:5:21 @ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!

nkjv@Isaiah:5:22 @ Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,

nkjv@Isaiah:5:23 @ Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man!

nkjv@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:25 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD is aroused against His people; He has stretched out His hand against them And stricken them, And the hills trembled. Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:26 @ He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar, And will whistle to them from the end of the earth; Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:27 @ No one will be weary or stumble among them, No one will slumber or sleep; Nor will the belt on their loins be loosed, Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;

nkjv@Isaiah:5:28 @ Whose arrows are sharp, And all their bows bent; Their horses' hooves will seem like flint, And their wheels like a whirlwind.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:29 @ Their roaring will be like a lion, They will roar like young lions; Yes, they will roar And lay hold of the prey; They will carry it away safely, And no one will deliver.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:30 @ In that day they will roar against them Like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks to the land, Behold, darkness and sorrow; And the light is darkened by the clouds.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:1 @ In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:2 @ Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:3 @ And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!"

nkjv@Isaiah:6:4 @ And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:5 @ So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:6 @ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:7 @ And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:8 @ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:9 @ And He said, "Go, and tell this people: "Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'

nkjv@Isaiah:6:10 @ "Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:11 @ Then I said, "Lord, how long?" And He answered: "Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, The houses are without a man, The land is utterly desolate,

nkjv@Isaiah:6:12 @ The LORD has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:13 @ But yet a tenth will be in it, And will return and be for consuming, As a terebinth tree or as an oak, Whose stump remains when it is cut down. So the holy seed shall be its stump."

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

nkjv@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told to the house of David, saying, "Syria's forces are deployed in Ephraim." So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:3 @ Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller's Field,

nkjv@Isaiah:7:4 @ and say to him: "Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:5 @ Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying,

nkjv@Isaiah:7:6 @ "Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel"--

nkjv@Isaiah:7:7 @ thus says the Lord GOD: "It shall not stand, Nor shall it come to pass.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, And the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken, So that it will not be a people.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:9 @ The head of Ephraim is Samaria, And the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, Surely you shall not be established.""'

nkjv@Isaiah:7:10 @ Moreover the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

nkjv@Isaiah:7:11 @ "Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above."

nkjv@Isaiah:7:12 @ But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, nor will I test the LORD!"

nkjv@Isaiah:7:13 @ Then he said, "Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?

nkjv@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:15 @ Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:17 @ The LORD will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father's house--days that have not come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah."

nkjv@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will whistle for the fly That is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt, And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:19 @ They will come, and all of them will rest In the desolate valleys and in the clefts of the rocks, And on all thorns and in all pastures.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:20 @ In the same day the Lord will shave with a hired razor, With those from beyond the River, with the king of Assyria, The head and the hair of the legs, And will also remove the beard.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:21 @ It shall be in that day That a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep;

nkjv@Isaiah:7:22 @ So it shall be, from the abundance of milk they give, That he will eat curds; For curds and honey everyone will eat who is left in the land.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:23 @ It shall happen in that day, That wherever there could be a thousand vines Worth a thousand shekels of silver, It will be for briers and thorns.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:24 @ With arrows and bows men will come there, Because all the land will become briers and thorns.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:25 @ And to any hill which could be dug with the hoe, You will not go there for fear of briers and thorns; But it will become a range for oxen And a place for sheep to roam.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:1 @ Moreover the LORD said to me, "Take a large scroll, and write on it with a man's pen concerning Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I will take for Myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:3 @ Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, "Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz;

nkjv@Isaiah:8:4 @ for before the child shall have knowledge to cry "My father' and "My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:5 @ The LORD also spoke to me again, saying:

nkjv@Isaiah:8:6 @ "Inasmuch as these people refused The waters of Shiloah that flow softly, And rejoice in Rezin and in Remaliah's son;

nkjv@Isaiah:8:7 @ Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over them The waters of the River, strong and mighty-- The king of Assyria and all his glory; He will go up over all his channels And go over all his banks.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:8 @ He will pass through Judah, He will overflow and pass over, He will reach up to the neck; And the stretching out of his wings Will fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:9 @ "Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Give ear, all you from far countries. Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces; Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand, For God is with us."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:11 @ For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:

nkjv@Isaiah:8:12 @ "Do not say, "A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:13 @ The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:14 @ He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:15 @ And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, Be snared and taken."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among my disciples.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:17 @ And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:18 @ Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the LORD of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they say to you, "Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter," should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?

nkjv@Isaiah:8:20 @ To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:21 @ They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:22 @ Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:1 @ Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed, As when at first He lightly esteemed The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, And afterward more heavily oppressed her, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, In Galilee of the Gentiles.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:2 @ The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:3 @ You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:4 @ For You have broken the yoke of his burden And the staff of his shoulder, The rod of his oppressor, As in the day of Midian.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:5 @ For every warrior's sandal from the noisy battle, And garments rolled in blood, Will be used for burning and fuel of fire.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:6 @ For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:7 @ Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:8 @ The LORD sent a word against Jacob, And it has fallen on Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:9 @ All the people will know-- Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria-- Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:

nkjv@Isaiah:9:10 @ "The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, But we will replace them with cedars."

nkjv@Isaiah:19:14 @ The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:15 @ Neither will there be any work for Egypt, Which the head or tail, Palm branch or bulrush, may do.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:16 @ In that day Egypt will be like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He waves over it.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:17 @ And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts which He has determined against it.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:18 @ In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear by the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:19 @ In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:20 @ And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:21 @ Then the LORD will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the LORD and perform it.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:22 @ And the LORD will strike Egypt, He will strike and heal it; they will return to the LORD, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:23 @ In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:24 @ In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria--a blessing in the midst of the land,

nkjv@Isaiah:19:25 @ whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, "Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance."

nkjv@Isaiah:20:1 @ In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it,

nkjv@Isaiah:20:2 @ at the same time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and remove the sackcloth from your body, and take your sandals off your feet." And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

nkjv@Isaiah:20:3 @ Then the LORD said, "Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia,

nkjv@Isaiah:20:4 @ so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

nkjv@Isaiah:20:5 @ Then they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation and Egypt their glory.

nkjv@Isaiah:20:6 @ And the inhabitant of this territory will say in that day, "Surely such is our expectation, wherever we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?"'

nkjv@Isaiah:21:1 @ The burden against the Wilderness of the Sea. As whirlwinds in the South pass through, So it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:2 @ A distressing vision is declared to me; The treacherous dealer deals treacherously, And the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! All its sighing I have made to cease.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:3 @ Therefore my loins are filled with pain; Pangs have taken hold of me, like the pangs of a woman in labor. I was distressed when I heard it; I was dismayed when I saw it.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:4 @ My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me; The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:5 @ Prepare the table, Set a watchman in the tower, Eat and drink. Arise, you princes, Anoint the shield!

nkjv@Isaiah:21:6 @ For thus has the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees."

nkjv@Isaiah:21:7 @ And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen, A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels, And he listened earnestly with great care.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:8 @ Then he cried, "A lion, my Lord! I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime; I have sat at my post every night.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:9 @ And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!" Then he answered and said, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images of her gods He has broken to the ground."

nkjv@Isaiah:21:10 @ Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I have declared to you.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:11 @ The burden against Dumah. He calls to me out of Seir, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"

nkjv@Isaiah:21:12 @ The watchman said, "The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; Return! Come back!"

nkjv@Isaiah:21:13 @ The burden against Arabia. In the forest in Arabia you will lodge, O you traveling companies of Dedanites.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:14 @ O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Bring water to him who is thirsty; With their bread they met him who fled.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:15 @ For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, From the bent bow, and from the distress of war.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:16 @ For thus the LORD has said to me: "Within a year, according to the year of a hired man, all the glory of Kedar will fail;

nkjv@Isaiah:21:17 @ and the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the people of Kedar, will be diminished; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it."

nkjv@Isaiah:22:1 @ The burden against the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,

nkjv@Isaiah:22:2 @ You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:3 @ All your rulers have fled together; They are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together; They have fled from afar.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore I said, "Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people."

nkjv@Isaiah:22:5 @ For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord GOD of hosts In the Valley of Vision-- Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:6 @ Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir uncovered the shield.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:7 @ It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:8 @ He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest;

nkjv@Isaiah:22:9 @ You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:10 @ You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:11 @ You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:12 @ And in that day the Lord GOD of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:13 @ But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

nkjv@Isaiah:22:14 @ Then it was revealed in my hearing by the LORD of hosts, "Surely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death," says the Lord GOD of hosts.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:15 @ Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: "Go, proceed to this steward, To Shebna, who is over the house, and say:

nkjv@Isaiah:22:16 @ "What have you here, and whom have you here, That you have hewn a sepulcher here, As he who hews himself a sepulcher on high, Who carves a tomb for himself in a rock?

nkjv@Isaiah:22:17 @ Indeed, the LORD will throw you away violently, O mighty man, And will surely seize you.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:18 @ He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball Into a large country; There you shall die, and there your glorious chariots Shall be the shame of your master's house.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:19 @ So I will drive you out of your office, And from your position he will pull you down.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:20 @ "Then it shall be in that day, That I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;

nkjv@Isaiah:22:21 @ I will clothe him with your robe And strengthen him with your belt; I will commit your responsibility into his hand. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem And to the house of Judah.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:22 @ The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open, and no one shall shut; And he shall shut, and no one shall open.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:23 @ I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place, And he will become a glorious throne to his father's house.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:24 @ "They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the posterity, all vessels of small quantity, from the cups to all the pitchers.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:25 @ In that day,' says the LORD of hosts, "the peg that is fastened in the secure place will be removed and be cut down and fall, and the burden that was on it will be cut off; for the LORD has spoken."'

nkjv@Isaiah:23:1 @ The burden against Tyre. Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, So that there is no house, no harbor; From the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:2 @ Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon, Whom those who cross the sea have filled.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:3 @ And on great waters the grain of Shihor, The harvest of the River, is her revenue; And she is a marketplace for the nations.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:4 @ Be ashamed, O Sidon; For the sea has spoken, The strength of the sea, saying, "I do not labor, nor bring forth children; Neither do I rear young men, Nor bring up virgins."

nkjv@Isaiah:23:5 @ When the report reaches Egypt, They also will be in agony at the report of Tyre.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:6 @ Cross over to Tarshish; Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland!

nkjv@Isaiah:23:7 @ Is this your joyous city, Whose antiquity is from ancient days, Whose feet carried her far off to dwell?

nkjv@Isaiah:23:8 @ Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, Whose merchants are princes, Whose traders are the honorable of the earth?

nkjv@Isaiah:23:9 @ The LORD of hosts has purposed it, To bring to dishonor the pride of all glory, To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:10 @ Overflow through your land like the River, O daughter of Tarshish; There is no more strength.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:11 @ He stretched out His hand over the sea, He shook the kingdoms; The LORD has given a commandment against Canaan To destroy its strongholds.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:12 @ And He said, "You will rejoice no more, O you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus; There also you will have no rest."

nkjv@Isaiah:23:13 @ Behold, the land of the Chaldeans, This people which was not; Assyria founded it for wild beasts of the desert. They set up its towers, They raised up its palaces, And brought it to ruin.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:14 @ Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For your strength is laid waste.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:15 @ Now it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

nkjv@Isaiah:23:16 @ "Take a harp, go about the city, You forgotten harlot; Make sweet melody, sing many songs, That you may be remembered."

nkjv@Isaiah:23:17 @ And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that the LORD will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire, and commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:18 @ Her gain and her pay will be set apart for the LORD; it will not be treasured nor laid up, for her gain will be for those who dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for fine clothing.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:1 @ Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it waste, Distorts its surface And scatters abroad its inhabitants.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:2 @ And it shall be: As with the people, so with the priest; As with the servant, so with his master; As with the maid, so with her mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the lender, so with the borrower; As with the creditor, so with the debtor.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:3 @ The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered, For the LORD has spoken this word.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:4 @ The earth mourns and fades away, The world languishes and fades away; The haughty people of the earth languish.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:5 @ The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:6 @ Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, And those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, And few men are left.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:7 @ The new wine fails, the vine languishes, All the merry-hearted sigh.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:8 @ The mirth of the tambourine ceases, The noise of the jubilant ends, The joy of the harp ceases.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:9 @ They shall not drink wine with a song; Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:10 @ The city of confusion is broken down; Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:11 @ There is a cry for wine in the streets, All joy is darkened, The mirth of the land is gone.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:12 @ In the city desolation is left, And the gate is stricken with destruction.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:13 @ When it shall be thus in the midst of the land among the people, It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, Like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:14 @ They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; For the majesty of the LORD They shall cry aloud from the sea.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:15 @ Therefore glorify the LORD in the dawning light, The name of the LORD God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:16 @ From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: "Glory to the righteous!" But I said, "I am ruined, ruined! Woe to me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously, Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously."

nkjv@Isaiah:24:17 @ Fear and the pit and the snare Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:18 @ And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he who comes up from the midst of the pit Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth are shaken.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:19 @ The earth is violently broken, The earth is split open, The earth is shaken exceedingly.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:20 @ The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:21 @ It shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth the kings of the earth.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:22 @ They will be gathered together, As prisoners are gathered in the pit, And will be shut up in the prison; After many days they will be punished.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:23 @ Then the moon will be disgraced And the sun ashamed; For the LORD of hosts will reign On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem And before His elders, gloriously.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:1 @ O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:2 @ For You have made a city a ruin, A fortified city a ruin, A palace of foreigners to be a city no more; It will never be rebuilt.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:3 @ Therefore the strong people will glorify You; The city of the terrible nations will fear You.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:4 @ For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:5 @ You will reduce the noise of aliens, As heat in a dry place; As heat in the shadow of a cloud, The song of the terrible ones will be diminished.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:6 @ And in this mountain The LORD of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:7 @ And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:8 @ He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:9 @ And it will be said in that day: "Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."

nkjv@Isaiah:25:10 @ For on this mountain the hand of the LORD will rest, And Moab shall be trampled down under Him, As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:11 @ And He will spread out His hands in their midst As a swimmer reaches out to swim, And He will bring down their pride Together with the trickery of their hands.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:12 @ The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:1 @ In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:2 @ Open the gates, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:3 @ You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:4 @ Trust in the LORD forever, For in Yah, the LORD, is everlasting strength.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:5 @ For He brings down those who dwell on high, The lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:6 @ The foot shall tread it down-- The feet of the poor And the steps of the needy."

nkjv@Isaiah:26:7 @ The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:8 @ Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O LORD, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name And for the remembrance of You.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:9 @ With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:10 @ Let grace be shown to the wicked, Yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, And will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:11 @ LORD, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see. But they will see and be ashamed For their envy of people; Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:12 @ LORD, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:13 @ O LORD our God, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:14 @ They are dead, they will not live; They are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And made all their memory to perish.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:15 @ You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:16 @ LORD, in trouble they have visited You, They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:17 @ As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs, When she draws near the time of her delivery, So have we been in Your sight, O LORD.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:18 @ We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:19 @ Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:20 @ Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:21 @ For behold, the LORD comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:1 @ In that day the LORD with His severe sword, great and strong, Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:2 @ In that day sing to her, "A vineyard of red wine!

nkjv@Isaiah:27:3 @ I, the LORD, keep it, I water it every moment; Lest any hurt it, I keep it night and day.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:4 @ Fury is not in Me. Who would set briers and thorns Against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:5 @ Or let him take hold of My strength, That he may make peace with Me; And he shall make peace with Me."

nkjv@Isaiah:27:6 @ Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob; Israel shall blossom and bud, And fill the face of the world with fruit.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:7 @ Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him? Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?

nkjv@Isaiah:27:8 @ In measure, by sending it away, You contended with it. He removes it by His rough wind In the day of the east wind.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:9 @ Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered; And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: When he makes all the stones of the altar Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust, Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:10 @ Yet the fortified city will be desolate, The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness; There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down And consume its branches.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:11 @ When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off; The women come and set them on fire. For it is a people of no understanding; Therefore He who made them will not have mercy on them, And He who formed them will show them no favor.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:12 @ And it shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will thresh, From the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt; And you will be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:13 @ So it shall be in that day: The great trumpet will be blown; They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, And they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:1 @ Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valleys, To those who are overcome with wine!

nkjv@Isaiah:28:2 @ Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, Like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:3 @ The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, Will be trampled underfoot;

nkjv@Isaiah:28:4 @ And the glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valley, Like the first fruit before the summer, Which an observer sees; He eats it up while it is still in his hand.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:5 @ In that day the LORD of hosts will be For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty To the remnant of His people,

nkjv@Isaiah:28:6 @ For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:7 @ But they also have erred through wine, And through intoxicating drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, They are swallowed up by wine, They are out of the way through intoxicating drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:8 @ For all tables are full of vomit and filth; No place is clean.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:9 @ "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts?

nkjv@Isaiah:28:10 @ For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little."

nkjv@Isaiah:28:11 @ For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people,

nkjv@Isaiah:28:12 @ To whom He said, "This is the rest with which You may cause the weary to rest," And, "This is the refreshing"; Yet they would not hear.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:13 @ But the word of the LORD was to them, "Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little," That they might go and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:14 @ Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,

nkjv@Isaiah:28:15 @ Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves."

nkjv@Isaiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:17 @ Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:18 @ Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:19 @ As often as it goes out it will take you; For morning by morning it will pass over, And by day and by night; It will be a terror just to understand the report."

nkjv@Isaiah:28:20 @ For the bed is too short to stretch out on, And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:21 @ For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon-- That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:22 @ Now therefore, do not be mockers, Lest your bonds be made strong; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts, A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:23 @ Give ear and hear my voice, Listen and hear my speech.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:24 @ Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods?

nkjv@Isaiah:28:25 @ When he has leveled its surface, Does he not sow the black cummin And scatter the cummin, Plant the wheat in rows, The barley in the appointed place, And the spelt in its place?

nkjv@Isaiah:28:26 @ For He instructs him in right judgment, His God teaches him.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:27 @ For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, Nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin; But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick, And the cummin with a rod.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:28 @ Bread flour must be ground; Therefore he does not thresh it forever, Break it with his cartwheel, Or crush it with his horsemen.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:4 @ You shall be brought down, You shall speak out of the ground; Your speech shall be low, out of the dust; Your voice shall be like a medium's, out of the ground; And your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:5 @ "Moreover the multitude of your foes Shall be like fine dust, And the multitude of the terrible ones Like chaff that passes away; Yes, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:7 @ The multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, Even all who fight against her and her fortress, And distress her, Shall be as a dream of a night vision.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:8 @ It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, And look--he eats; But he awakes, and his soul is still empty; Or as when a thirsty man dreams, And look--he drinks; But he awakes, and indeed he is faint, And his soul still craves: So the multitude of all the nations shall be, Who fight against Mount Zion."

nkjv@Isaiah:29:9 @ Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:10 @ For the LORD has poured out on you The spirit of deep sleep, And has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, namely, the seers.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:11 @ The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed."

nkjv@Isaiah:29:12 @ Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I am not literate."

nkjv@Isaiah:29:13 @ Therefore the Lord said: "Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,

nkjv@Isaiah:29:14 @ Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden."

nkjv@Isaiah:29:15 @ Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the LORD, And their works are in the dark; They say, "Who sees us?" and, "Who knows us?"

nkjv@Isaiah:29:16 @ Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, "He did not make me"? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?

nkjv@Isaiah:29:17 @ Is it not yet a very little while Till Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?

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

nkjv@Isaiah:29:19 @ The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:3 @ Therefore the strength of Pharaoh Shall be your shame, And trust in the shadow of Egypt Shall be your humiliation.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:4 @ For his princes were at Zoan, And his ambassadors came to Hanes.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:16 @ And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses"-- Therefore you shall flee! And, "We will ride on swift horses"-- Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!

nkjv@Isaiah:30:17 @ One thousand shall flee at the threat of one, At the threat of five you shall flee, Till you are left as a pole on top of a mountain And as a banner on a hill.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:18 @ Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:19 @ For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:20 @ And though the Lord gives you The bread of adversity and the water of affliction, Yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, But your eyes shall see your teachers.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:21 @ Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:22 @ You will also defile the covering of your images of silver, And the ornament of your molded images of gold. You will throw them away as an unclean thing; You will say to them, "Get away!"

nkjv@Isaiah:30:23 @ Then He will give the rain for your seed With which you sow the ground, And bread of the increase of the earth; It will be fat and plentiful. In that day your cattle will feed In large pastures.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:24 @ Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground Will eat cured fodder, Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:25 @ There will be on every high mountain And on every high hill Rivers and streams of waters, In the day of the great slaughter, When the towers fall.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:26 @ Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people And heals the stroke of their wound.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:27 @ Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar, Burning with His anger, And His burden is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, And His tongue like a devouring fire.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:28 @ His breath is like an overflowing stream, Which reaches up to the neck, To sift the nations with the sieve of futility; And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, Causing them to err.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:29 @ You shall have a song As in the night when a holy festival is kept, And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, To come into the mountain of the LORD, To the Mighty One of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:30 @ The LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And show the descent of His arm, With the indignation of His anger And the flame of a devouring fire, With scattering, tempest, and hailstones.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:31 @ For through the voice of the LORD Assyria will be beaten down, As He strikes with the rod.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:32 @ And in every place where the staff of punishment passes, Which the LORD lays on him, It will be with tambourines and harps; And in battles of brandishing He will fight with it.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:33 @ For Tophet was established of old, Yes, for the king it is prepared. He has made it deep and large; Its pyre is fire with much wood; The breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, Kindles it.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:1 @ Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the LORD!

nkjv@Isaiah:31:2 @ Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster, And will not call back His words, But will arise against the house of evildoers, And against the help of those who work iniquity.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:3 @ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, Both he who helps will fall, And he who is helped will fall down; They all will perish together.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:4 @ For thus the LORD has spoken to me: "As a lion roars, And a young lion over his prey (When a multitude of shepherds is summoned against him, He will not be afraid of their voice Nor be disturbed by their noise), So the LORD of hosts will come down To fight for Mount Zion and for its hill.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:5 @ Like birds flying about, So will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver it; Passing over, He will preserve it."

nkjv@Isaiah:31:6 @ Return to Him against whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:7 @ For in that day every man shall throw away his idols of silver and his idols of gold--sin, which your own hands have made for yourselves.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:1 @ Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, And princes will rule with justice.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:2 @ A man will be as a hiding place from the wind, And a cover from the tempest, As rivers of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:3 @ The eyes of those who see will not be dim, And the ears of those who hear will listen.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:4 @ Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge, And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:5 @ The foolish person will no longer be called generous, Nor the miser said to be bountiful;

nkjv@Isaiah:32:6 @ For the foolish person will speak foolishness, And his heart will work iniquity: To practice ungodliness, To utter error against the LORD, To keep the hungry unsatisfied, And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:7 @ Also the schemes of the schemer are evil; He devises wicked plans To destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the needy speaks justice.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:8 @ But a generous man devises generous things, And by generosity he shall stand.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:9 @ Rise up, you women who are at ease, Hear my voice; You complacent daughters, Give ear to my speech.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:10 @ In a year and some days You will be troubled, you complacent women; For the vintage will fail, The gathering will not come.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:11 @ Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent ones; Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare, And gird sackcloth on your waists.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:12 @ People shall mourn upon their breasts For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:13 @ On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers, Yes, on all the happy homes in the joyous city;

nkjv@Isaiah:32:14 @ Because the palaces will be forsaken, The bustling city will be deserted. The forts and towers will become lairs forever, A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks--

nkjv@Isaiah:32:15 @ Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:16 @ Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:17 @ The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:18 @ My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places,

nkjv@Isaiah:32:19 @ Though hail comes down on the forest, And the city is brought low in humiliation.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:20 @ Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, Who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:1 @ Woe to you who plunder, though you have not been plundered; And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you! When you cease plundering, You will be plundered; When you make an end of dealing treacherously, They will deal treacherously with you.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:2 @ O LORD, be gracious to us; We have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, Our salvation also in the time of trouble.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:3 @ At the noise of the tumult the people shall flee; When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered;

nkjv@Isaiah:33:4 @ And Your plunder shall be gathered Like the gathering of the caterpillar; As the running to and fro of locusts, He shall run upon them.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:5 @ The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:6 @ Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is His treasure.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:7 @ Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside, The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:8 @ The highways lie waste, The traveling man ceases. He has broken the covenant, He has despised the cities, He regards no man.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:9 @ The earth mourns and languishes, Lebanon is shamed and shriveled; Sharon is like a wilderness, And Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:10 @ "Now I will rise," says the LORD; "Now I will be exalted, Now I will lift Myself up.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:11 @ You shall conceive chaff, You shall bring forth stubble; Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:13 @ Hear, you who are afar off, what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might."

nkjv@Isaiah:33:14 @ The sinners in Zion are afraid; Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: "Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?"

nkjv@Isaiah:33:15 @ He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, He who despises the gain of oppressions, Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes, Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, And shuts his eyes from seeing evil:

nkjv@Isaiah:33:16 @ He will dwell on high; His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks; Bread will be given him, His water will be sure.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:17 @ Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will see the land that is very far off.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:18 @ Your heart will meditate on terror: "Where is the scribe? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?"

nkjv@Isaiah:33:19 @ You will not see a fierce people, A people of obscure speech, beyond perception, Of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:20 @ Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home, A tabernacle that will not be taken down; Not one of its stakes will ever be removed, Nor will any of its cords be broken.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:21 @ But there the majestic LORD will be for us A place of broad rivers and streams, In which no galley with oars will sail, Nor majestic ships pass by

nkjv@Isaiah:34:1 @ Come near, you nations, to hear; And heed, you people! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, The world and all things that come forth from it.

nkjv@Isaiah:34:2 @ For the indignation of the LORD is against all nations, And His fury against all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to the slaughter.

nkjv@Isaiah:34:4 @ All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree.

nkjv@Isaiah:34:5 @ "For My sword shall be bathed in heaven; Indeed it shall come down on Edom, And on the people of My curse, for judgment.

nkjv@Isaiah:34:6 @ The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, It is made overflowing with fatness, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

nkjv@Isaiah:36:1 @ Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.

nkjv@Isaiah:36:2 @ Then the king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh with a great army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. And he stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller's Field.

nkjv@Daniel:5:12 @ Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation."

nkjv@Daniel:6:10 @ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

nkjv@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

nkjv@Daniel:6:12 @ And they went before the king, and spoke concerning the king's decree: "Have you not signed a decree that every man who petitions any god or man within thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?"

nkjv@Daniel:6:13 @ So they answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is one of the captives from Judah, does not show due regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."

nkjv@Daniel:6:14 @ And the king, when he heard these words, was greatly displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

nkjv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men approached the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is the law of the Medes and Persians that no decree or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

nkjv@Daniel:6:17 @ Then a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signets of his lords, that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed.

nkjv@Daniel:6:18 @ Now the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no musicians were brought before him. Also his sleep went from him.

nkjv@Daniel:6:22 @ My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you."

nkjv@Daniel:6:23 @ Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God.

nkjv@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, And His dominion shall endure to the end.

nkjv@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

nkjv@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.

nkjv@Daniel:7:2 @ Daniel spoke, saying, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea.

nkjv@Daniel:7:5 @ "And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: "Arise, devour much flesh!'

nkjv@Daniel:7:6 @ "After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

nkjv@Daniel:7:8 @ I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.

nkjv@Daniel:7:9 @ "I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire;

nkjv@Daniel:7:13 @ "I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.

nkjv@Daniel:7:14 @ Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.

nkjv@Daniel:7:15 @ "I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

nkjv@Daniel:7:16 @ I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things:

nkjv@Daniel:7:17 @ "Those great beasts, which are four, are four kings which arise out of the earth.

nkjv@Daniel:7:19 @ "Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet;

nkjv@Daniel:7:20 @ and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.

nkjv@Daniel:7:24 @ The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.

nkjv@Daniel:7:25 @ He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time.

nkjv@Daniel:7:26 @ "But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume and destroy it forever.

nkjv@Daniel:7:27 @ Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.'

nkjv@Daniel:7:28 @ "This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed; but I kept the matter in my heart."

nkjv@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me--to me, Daniel--after the one that appeared to me the first time.

nkjv@Daniel:8:2 @ I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking, that I was in Shushan, the citadel, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai.

nkjv@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to his will and became great.

nkjv@Daniel:8:5 @ And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

nkjv@Daniel:8:7 @ And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

nkjv@Daniel:8:11 @ He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.

nkjv@Daniel:8:12 @ Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.

nkjv@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, "How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?"

nkjv@Daniel:8:15 @ Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.

nkjv@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."

nkjv@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end."

nkjv@Daniel:8:21 @ And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes is the first king.

nkjv@Daniel:8:22 @ As for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power.

nkjv@Daniel:8:23 @ "And in the latter time of their kingdom, When the transgressors have reached their fullness, A king shall arise, Having fierce features, Who understands sinister schemes.

nkjv@Daniel:8:24 @ His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He shall destroy fearfully, And shall prosper and thrive; He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.

nkjv@Daniel:8:26 @ "And the vision of the evenings and mornings Which was told is true; Therefore seal up the vision, For it refers to many days in the future."

nkjv@Daniel:8:27 @ And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king's business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.

nkjv@Daniel:9:2 @ in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the LORD through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Daniel:9:4 @ And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession, and said, "O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments,

nkjv@Daniel:9:11 @ Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him.

nkjv@Daniel:9:12 @ And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great disaster; for under the whole heaven such has never been done as what has been done to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Daniel:9:13 @ "As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.

nkjv@Daniel:9:14 @ Therefore the LORD has kept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all the works which He does, though we have not obeyed His voice.

nkjv@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made Yourself a name, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have done wickedly!
