Isaiah:37:14-20
nasb@Isaiah:37:14 @But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, And the Lord has forgotten me."
nasb@Isaiah:37:15" @Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.
nasb@Isaiah:37:16" @Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.
nasb@Isaiah:37:17" @Your builders hurry; Your destroyers and devastators Will depart from you.
nasb@Isaiah:37:18" @ Lift up your eyes and look around; All of them gather together, they come to you. As I live," declares the LORD, "You will surely put on all of them as jewels and bind them on as a bride.
nasb@Isaiah:37:19" @For your waste and desolate places and your destroyed land-- Surely now you will be too cramped for the inhabitants, And those who swallowed you will be far away.
nasb@Isaiah:37:20" @The children of whom you were bereaved will yet say in your ears, 'The place is too cramped for me; Make room for me that I may live here.'
nasb@Isaiah:37:21" @Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has begotten these for me, Since I have been bereaved of my children And am barren, an exile and a wanderer? And who has reared these? Behold, I was left alone; From where did these come?'"
nasb@Isaiah:37:22 @Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations And set up My standard to the peoples; And they will bring your sons in their bosom, And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.
nasb@Isaiah:37:23" @ Kings will be your guardians, And their princesses your nurses. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth And lick the dust of your feet; And you will know that I am the LORD; Those who hopefully wait for Me will not be put to shame.
nasb@Isaiah:37:24" @ Can the prey be taken from the mighty man, Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?"
nasb@Isaiah:37:25 @Surely, thus says the LORD, "Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away, And the prey of the tyrant will be rescued; For I will contend with the one who contends with you, And I will save your sons.
nasb@Isaiah:37:26" @I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh, And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine; And all flesh will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
nasb@Isaiah:37:50 @Thus says the LORD, "Where is the certificate of divorce By which I have sent your mother away? Or to whom of My creditors did I sell you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, And for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
nasb@Isaiah:37:2" @Why was there no man when I came? When I called, why was there none to answer? Is My hand so short that it cannot ransom? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, I dry up the sea with My rebuke, I make the rivers a wilderness; Their fish stink for lack of water And die of thirst.
nasb@Isaiah:37:3" @I clothe the heavens with blackness And make sackcloth their covering."
nasb@Isaiah:37:4 @The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples, That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
nasb@Isaiah:37:5 @The Lord GOD has opened My ear; And I was not disobedient Nor did I turn back.
nasb@Isaiah:37:6 @I gave My back to those who strike Me, And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard; I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.
nasb@Isaiah:37:7 @For the Lord GOD helps Me, Therefore, I am not disgraced; Therefore, I have set My face like flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.
nasb@Isaiah:37:8 @He who vindicates Me is near; Who will contend with Me? Let us stand up to each other; Who has a case against Me? Let him draw near to Me.
nasb@Isaiah:37:9 @Behold, the Lord GOD helps Me; Who is he who condemns Me? Behold, they will all wear out like a garment; The moth will eat them.
nasb@Isaiah:37:10 @Who is among you that fears the LORD, That obeys the voice of His servant, That walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.
nasb@Isaiah:37:11 @Behold, all you who kindle a fire, Who encircle yourselves with firebrands, Walk in the light of your fire And among the brands you have set ablaze. This you will have from My hand- You will lie down in torment.
nasb@Isaiah:37:51" @ Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, Who seek the LORD- Look to the rock from which you were hewn And to the quarry from which you were dug.
nasb@Isaiah:37:2" @Look to Abraham your father And to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain; When he was but one I called him, Then I blessed him and multiplied him."
nasb@Isaiah:37:3 @Indeed, the LORD will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places. And her wilderness He will make like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness will be found in her, Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.
nasb@Isaiah:37:4" @ Pay attention to Me, O My people, And give ear to Me, O My nation; For a law will go forth from Me, And I will set My justice for a light of the peoples.
nasb@Isaiah:37:5" @My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, And My arms will judge the peoples; The coastlands will wait for Me, And for My arm they will wait expectantly.
nasb@Isaiah:37:6" @ Lift up your eyes to the sky, Then look to the earth beneath; For the sky will vanish like smoke, And the earth will wear out like a garment And its inhabitants will die in like manner; But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not wane.
nasb@Isaiah:37:7" @ Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, A people in whose heart is My law; Do not fear the reproach of man, Nor be dismayed at their revilings.
nasb@Isaiah:37:8" @For the moth will eat them like a garment, And the grub will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will be forever, And My salvation to all generations."
nasb@Isaiah:37:9 @Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; Awake as in the days of old, the generations of long ago. Was it not You who cut Rahab in pieces, Who pierced the dragon?
nasb@Isaiah:37:10 @Was it not You who dried up the sea, The waters of the great deep; Who made the depths of the sea a pathway For the redeemed to cross over?
nasb@Isaiah:37:11 @So the ransomed of the LORD will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, And everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
nasb@Isaiah:37:12" @I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies And of the son of man who is made like grass,
nasb@Isaiah:37:13 @That you have forgotten the LORD your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens And laid the foundations of the earth, That you fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor, As he makes ready to destroy? But where is the fury of the oppressor?
nasb@Isaiah:37:14" @The exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his bread be lacking.
nasb@Isaiah:37:15" @For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar (the LORD of hosts is His name).
nasb@Isaiah:37:16" @I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, 'You are My people.'"
nasb@Isaiah:37:17 @Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem, You who have drunk from the LORD'S hand the cup of His anger; The chalice of reeling you have drained to the dregs.
nasb@Isaiah:37:18 @There is none to guide her among all the sons she has borne, Nor is there one to take her by the hand among all the sons she has reared.
nasb@Isaiah:37:19 @These two things have befallen you; Who will mourn for you? The devastation and destruction, famine and sword; How shall I comfort you?
nasb@Isaiah:37:20 @Your sons have fainted, They lie helpless at the head of every street, Like an antelope in a net, Full of the wrath of the LORD, The rebuke of your God.
