rotherham@Isaiah:26:5 @ For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the height the city exalted, He layeth it low, Layeth it low even to the ground, Levelleth it, even to the dust:
rotherham@Isaiah:26:6 @ The foot trampleth it, The feet of the lowly, The steps of the weak,
rotherham@Isaiah:26:7 @ The path of a righteous man, is, even, O Upright One! the track of a righteous man, thou makest level.
rotherham@Isaiah:26:8 @ Surely in the path of thy regulations, O Yahweh, we waited for thee, Unto thy Name and unto thy Memorial, was there a longing of soul:
rotherham@Isaiah:26:9 @ With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee, For, when thy regulations to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.
rotherham@Isaiah:26:10 @ Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely, And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.
rotherham@Isaiah:26:11 @ O Yahweh though thy hand be lifted up, yet do they not see, Would they might seeand turn pale at a peoples zeal, Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!
rotherham@Isaiah:26:12 @ O Yahweh, thou wilt ensure prosperity for us, hor even all our works, hast thou wrought for us,
rotherham@Isaiah:26:13 @ O Yahweh, our God! Lords other than thee, have owned us, By thyself alone, will we call upon thy Name.

rotherham@Isaiah:26:15 @ Thou hast increased the nation, O Yahweh, Thou hast increased the nation thou hast gotten thyself glory, Thou hast extended far, all the ends of the land.
rotherham@Isaiah:26:16 @ O Yahweh! in distress, they sought thee, They poured out a whispered prayer, when thy chastening was upon them.
rotherham@Isaiah:26:17 @ Like as a woman with child Draweth near to giving birth, Is in pain, Crieth out in her pangs So, were we before thee, O Yahweh;
rotherham@Isaiah:26:18 @ We were with child We were in pain, As it were we brought forth wind, Salvation, we could not accomplish for the earth, Neither were horn the inhabitants of the world.
rotherham@Isaiah:26:19 @ Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise, Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades shall give birth.
rotherham@Isaiah:26:20 @ Come my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thee as it were a little moment Till the indignation pass over.
rotherham@Isaiah:26:21 @ For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earths inhabitant upon him, Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed-blood, And throw a covering, no longer over her slain.
rotherham@Isaiah:27:1 @ In that day, will Yahweh With his swordthe hard and the great and the strong, Bring punishment Upon Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, And upon Leviathan, the crooked serpent, And will slay the monster which is in the sea.

rotherham@Isaiah:27:3 @ IYahweh, am Watching over her, Every moment, will I water her, Lest anyone injure her, Night and day, will I watch over her.
rotherham@Isaiah:27:4 @ Fury, have I none, Oh that there were delivered to me briars and thorns, in battle! I would march in among them I would set fire to them one and all.
rotherham@Isaiah:27:5 @ Else, let one lay hold of my protection, Let him make peace with me, Peace, let him make with me.
rotherham@Isaiah:27:6 @ In coming times, shall Jacob strike root, Israel, shall blossom and bud, Then shall they fill the face of the world with fruit.
rotherham@Isaiah:27:7 @ Was it, with the smiting of his smiter, that he smote him? Or as with the slaying of his slayer, was he slain?
rotherham@Isaiah:27:8 @ By driving her awayby dismissing her, wouldest thou contend with her? He removed her by his rough wind in, a day of east wind.
rotherham@Isaiah:27:9 @ Therefore hereby, shall a propitiatorycovering be put over the iniquity of Jacob, And all, this, is the fruit of taking away his sin, When he maketh all the stones of an altar like chalk-stones that soon crumble, Sacred Stems and Sun Images, shall not arise.
rotherham@Isaiah:27:10 @ For the fortified city, is solitary, The dwelling forsaken and left as a wilderness, There, shall the calf feed, And, there, lie down And shall consume the branches thereof:
rotherham@Isaiah:27:11 @ When the cut-off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.
rotherham@Isaiah:27:12 @ And it shall come to pass, in that day, That Yahweh will beat off his fruit from the stream of the River, unto the torrent-valley of Egypt, And, ye, shall be picked up, one by one O sons of Israel. \fs15
rotherham@Isaiah:27:13 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, That there shall be a blowing with a great horn, Then shall come in Such as have wandered in the land of Assyria, And such as have been outcasts in the land of Egypt, And they shall bow themselves down unto Yahweh In the holy mountain, In Jerusalem.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:1 @ Alas! for the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, And for his fading wreath of majestic beauty, Which is on the head of the fertile valley, of them who are overcome with wine.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:2 @ Lo! My Lord hath one who is, strong and bold, Like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, Like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, Hath he thrust it down to the earth with force:
rotherham@Isaiah:28:3 @ With the feet shall be trodden down, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
rotherham@Isaiah:28:4 @ So shall his fading wreath of majestic beauty, Which is on the head of the fertile valley, become Like the first-ripe fig before fruit-harvest, Which when he that looketh upon it seeth while it is yet in his hand, he swalloweth it up.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:5 @ In that day, will Yahweh of hosts become A crown of beauty, and A diadem of majesty, Unto the remnant of his people:
rotherham@Isaiah:28:6 @ Even a spirit of justiceto him that presideth over justice, And strength to them who would turn back the battle at the gate.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:7 @ But as for these, With wine, do they reel, and With strong drink, do they stagger, Priest and prophet, reel with strong drink They are swallowed up through wine They stagger through strong drink, They reel in prophetic vision, They totter in pronouncing judgment.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:8 @ For, all tables, are full of filthy vomit, There is no place!
rotherham@Isaiah:28:9 @ Whom, would he teach knowledge? And, whom, would he cause to understand the message? Them who are weaned from the milk? taken from the breasts?
rotherham@Isaiah:28:10 @ For it is Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, A little here a little there.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:11 @ For, with a jabbering lip, and with an alien tongue, must he speak unto this people!
rotherham@Isaiah:28:12 @ To whom he said This, is the restgive ye rest to the weary, and This, is the quietness, But they were unwilling to hear.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:13 @ So the word of Yahweh must be to them Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, A little here, a little there, That they may go and fall backward and be torn and snared and captured.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:14 @ Wherefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, Ye men who scoff, Ye rulers of this people that is in Jerusalem.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:15 @ Because ye have said We have solemnised a covenant with death, And with hades, have we effected a vision, The overflowing scourge when it sweepeth by, shall not reach unto us, For we have made lying our refuge. And in falsehood, have we hid ourselves,
rotherham@Isaiah:28:16 @ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! founding in Zion a stone, A stone of testing, The costly corner of a well-laid foundation, he that trusteth, shall not make haste!
rotherham@Isaiah:28:17 @ But I will make Justice the line, and Righteousness the plummet, And the hail shall, sweep away, your refuge of lying, And your hiding-place, the waters shall overflow;
rotherham@Isaiah:28:18 @ So shall be wiped out your covenant with death, And your vision with hades, not stand, When the overflowing scourge, sweepeth past, then shall ye be thereby beaten down:
rotherham@Isaiah:28:19 @ As often as it sweepeth past, it shall take you away, For morning by morning, shall it pass along. By day and by night, And it shall be nothing less than a terror to make out the message;
rotherham@Isaiah:28:20 @ For too short is the couch to stretch oneself out, And, the coverlet, too narrow, when one draweth up his feet.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:21 @ For as in Mount Perazim, will Yahweh, arise, As in the vale of Gibeon, will he be stirred, To do his workforeign is his work, And to perform his taskstrange is his task.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:22 @ Now, therefore do not show yourselves scoffers, Lest your fetters, be bound fast, For, of a full end, and that a decreed one, have I heard from My Lord, Yahweh of hosts upon all the land
rotherham@Isaiah:28:23 @ Give ear, and hear ye my voice, Hearken, and hear ye my speech:
rotherham@Isaiah:28:24 @ All day long, doth the plowman plow for sowing? Doth he continue laying open and harrowing his soil?
rotherham@Isaiah:28:25 @ Doth he not when he hath levelled the face thereof, Cast abroad the fennel? And, the cummin, doth he not scatter? And plant wheat in rows, And barley in a lot, And spelt in the border thereof?
rotherham@Isaiah:28:26 @ Yea One hath trained him to good judgment, His God, directeth him.
rotherham@Isaiah:28:27 @ For not with a sledge, must, black coriander be threshed, Nor must, the wheel of a cart, on cummin, be turned, But with a staff, must fennel be eaten, And cummin with a rod:
rotherham@Isaiah:28:28 @ Bread-corn, must be crushed, Yet would he not be evermore, threshing, it, So he hasteneth over it the wheel of his cart, with his horsemen, He crusheth it not!
rotherham@Isaiah:28:29 @ Even this, from Yahweh of hosts, cometh forth, Who hath bestowed distinction upon counsel, And magnified sound wisdom.
rotherham@Isaiah:29:1 @ Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David encamped, Add ye a year to a year. Let the festivals, come round;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:2 @ Yet will I bring Ariel into straits, And she shall become a bewailing and wailing, Yea she shall become to me a veritable Hearth of God.
rotherham@Isaiah:29:3 @ And I will encamp round about against thee, And lay siege against thee with a fort, And raise against thee siege-works;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:4 @ And thou shalt be brought low Out of the earth, shalt thou speak, And out of the dust, shalt thou lower thine utterance, And as one that hath a familiar spirit, Out of the earth, shall come thy voice, And out of the dust, thy speech shall chirp;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:5 @ Then shall be as fine dust the multitude of thy foreigners, And as chaff that passeth away, the multitude of tyrants; And it shall come to pass, in a twinkling, Suddenly,
rotherham@Isaiah:29:6 @ From Yahweh of hosts, shalt thou be visited, With thunder, and with earthquake and a great noise, hurricane and storm and flame of fire devouring;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:7 @ And it shall be like the dream of a night vision, With the multitude of all the nations who have been making war against Ariel, Even with all who have been making war against her and her stronghold and who have been laying siege to her;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:8 @ Yea it shall be As when the hungry man dreameth and lo! he is eating, But he awaketh, and his soul, is empty, Or as when the thirsty man dreameth and lo! he is drinking, But he awaketh and lo! he is faint and his soul, is craving, So, shall it be with the multitude of all the nations, that have come forth to war against Mount Zion.
rotherham@Isaiah:29:9 @ Stand ye stock still and stare, Besmear your eyes and be blind, They are drunken but not with wine, They reel, but not with strong drink;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:10 @ For Yahweh, hath poured out upon you, a spirit of deep sleep, Yea hath tightly shut your eyesthe prophets, And, your headsthe seers, hath he covered,
rotherham@Isaiah:29:11 @ And so all vision hath become unto you as the words of a writing that is sealed, Which is delivered unto one acquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:12 @ And then the writing is delivered to one unacquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith I am not acquainted with writing.
rotherham@Isaiah:29:13 @ Wherefore My Lord hath said, Because this people, hath drawn near with their mouth, And with their lips, have honoured me, But their heart, have they moved far from me, And so their reverence of me hath become A commandment of men in which they have been schooled,
rotherham@Isaiah:29:14 @ Therefore, behold me! again dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing, So shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!
rotherham@Isaiah:29:15 @ Alas! for them who would fain have been too deep for Yahweh by giving secret counsel, and therefore in the dark, have been their doings, and they have said Who can see us? and Who can understand us?
rotherham@Isaiah:29:16 @ Your perverseness! As if like clay, the potter could he reckoned; For shall, the thing made say of him that made it, he made me not? Or hath the thing fashioned ever said of him that fashioned it, He hath no understanding.
rotherham@Isaiah:29:17 @ Is it not yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be turned, into garden land, And garden land, for a forest, be reckoned?
rotherham@Isaiah:29:18 @ Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear the words of a book, And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:19 @ And again shall the humbled in Yahweh, have joy, And the needy of mankind in the Holy One of Israel, exult;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:20 @ For the tyrant, hath vanished, And the scoffer, is no more, Yea cut off are all who watch for iniquity:
rotherham@Isaiah:29:21 @ Who bring a man into condemnation with a rumour, And for him that decideth in the gate, lay a snare, And have driven away, for a thing of nought, one who was righteous.
rotherham@Isaiah:29:22 @ Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the house of Jacob, who redeemed Abraham, Not now, shall, Jacob turn pale, And, not now, shall their faces whiten;
rotherham@Isaiah:29:23 @ For, when he seeth his children the work of my hands, in his midst, They will hallow my Name, Yea they will hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel, will they regard with awe.
rotherham@Isaiah:29:24 @ Then will they who erred in spirit comprehend, And the murmurers, accept instruction.
rotherham@Isaiah:30:1 @ Alas! for sons who are rebellious, Declareth Yahweh. Executing a purpose, but not from me, And pouring out a libation but not from my spirit, That they may add sin to sin:
