rotherham@Isaiah:57:13 @ When thou makest outcry, let thy gathered throngs deliver thee! But all of them, shall A wind, catch up A breath, take away! Whereas he that seeketh refuge in me, Shall inherit the land, And possess my holy mountain.

rotherham@Isaiah:57:15 @ For, thus, saith he that is high and lifted up Inhabiting futurity, And, holy, is his name: A high and holy place, will I inhabit, Also with the crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly, and To revive the heart of them who are crushed;

rotherham@Isaiah:58:3 @ Wherefore have we Fasted and thou hast not seen? Humbled our soul, and thou wouldst take no note? Lo! in the day of your fast, ye take pleasure, But all your toilers, ye drive on!
rotherham@Isaiah:58:4 @ Lo! for strife and contention, ye fast, And to smite with the fist of lawlessness, Ye shall not fast as to-day, To cause to be heard on high your voice!
rotherham@Isaiah:58:5 @ Like this, shall the fast be that I choose, A day for the son of earth to humble his soul? Is it to bow down as a rush his head, And sackcloth and ashes, to spread out? Is it, this, thou wilt call a fast, Or a day of acceptance with Yahweh?
rotherham@Isaiah:58:6 @ Is not, this, the fast that I must ever choose To unbind the tight cords of lawlessness, To unloose the bands of the yoke, and To let the crushed go free, and That every yoke, ye tear off?
rotherham@Isaiah:58:7 @ Is it not to break unto the hungry, thy bread, And the thrust-out oppressed, that thou bring into a home, When thou seest one naked, that thou cover him, And from thine own flesh, shalt not hide thyself?

From the sabbath Shy foot, From doing thine own pleasure on my holy day, And shall call The sabbath, An exquisite delight, The holy day of Yahweh, A day to be honoured, And so shall honour it rather Than do thine own ways, Than take thine own pleasure or Than speak thine own word,
rotherham@Isaiah:58:14 @ Then, shall then rest thine own exquisite delight upon Yahweh, And I will cause thee to ride over the high places of the land, And will feed thee with the inheritance of Jacob Shy father, For the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken.
rotherham@Isaiah:59:1 @ Lo! the hand of Yahweh is not too short to say, Neither is his ear too heavy to hear.
rotherham@Isaiah:59:2 @ But, your iniquities, have become separators betwixt you and your God, And your sins, have caused a biding of face from you that he should-not hear.
rotherham@Isaiah:59:3 @ For, your hands, are defiled with blood, And, your fingers, with iniquity, Your lips, have spoken falsehood, and Your tongue, muttereth, perversity.
rotherham@Isaiah:59:4 @ None, sueth in righteousness, and None, pleadeth in faithfulness, Men are trusting in confusion, And speaking vanity, Conceiving wickedness And bringing forth iniquity:
rotherham@Isaiah:59:5 @ Vipers eggs, do they hatch, Spiders threads, do they weave, he that eateth of their eggs, dieth, And, that which is crushed, bringeth forth an adder;
rotherham@Isaiah:59:6 @ Their thread, shall not become a garment, Neither shall they cover themselves with their fabrics, Their fabrics, are fabrics of iniquity, Yea the product of violence is in their hands;
rotherham@Isaiah:59:7 @ Their feet, to mischief, do run, And they speed to shed innocent blood, Their devices, are devices of iniquity, Wasting and destruction, are in their high roads;
rotherham@Isaiah:59:8 @ the way of well-being, have they not known, And there is no justice in their tracks, Their paths, have they made crooked for themselves, None who treadeth therein knoweth wellbeing.
rotherham@Isaiah:59:9 @ For this cause, hath justice removed far from us, And righteousness overtaketh us not, We wait for light, But lo! darkness, For brightness, In thick darkness, we walk:
rotherham@Isaiah:59:10 @ We grope, as blind men for a wall, Yea, as men without eyes, do we grope, We have stumbled at broad noon as though it were twilight, In desolate places like the dead!
rotherham@Isaiah:59:11 @ We growl like bears all of us, And, like doves, do we, mournfully coo, We wait For justice, and there is none, For salvation it is far from us!
rotherham@Isaiah:59:12 @ For our transgressions have multiplied before thee, And flour sins have witnessed against us, For, our transgressions, are with us, And as for our iniquities, we acknowledge them:
rotherham@Isaiah:59:13 @ Transgressing, and denying Yahweh, And turning away from following our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving, and muttering from the heart, words of falsehood.
rotherham@Isaiah:59:14 @ So then there hath been a driving back of justice, And righteousness, afar off, standeth, For truth, hath stumbled in the broad-way, And, right, cannot enter;
rotherham@Isaiah:59:15 @ And the truth hath been found missing, And he that hath turned away from wrong is liable to be despoiled, And when, Yahweh, looked, Then was it grievous in his eyes that there was no justice:
rotherham@Isaiah:59:16 @ When he saw that there was no mighty man, Then was he astonished that there was none to interpose, So his own arm brought him salvation, And his own righteousness, the same, upheld him;
rotherham@Isaiah:59:17 @ And he put on Righteousness as a coat of mail, And a helmet of victory upon his head, And he put on the garments of avenging, for clothing, And wrapped about him as a cloakjealousy,
rotherham@Isaiah:59:18 @ According to their deeds, accordingly, will he repay, Indignation to his adversaries, Recompense to his enemies, To the Coastlandsrecompense, will he repay:
rotherham@Isaiah:59:19 @ That they may revere From the West the name of Yahweh, And from the Rising of the Sun his glory, For he will come in like a rushing stream, the breath of Yahweh, driving it on;
rotherham@Isaiah:59:20 @ So shall come in for Zion, a Redeemer, Even for such as are turning from transgression in Jacob, Declareth Yahweh.
rotherham@Isaiah:59:21 @ And as for me, this, shall be my covenant with them, Saith Yahweh: My spirit that is upon thee, And my words which I have put in thy mouth, Shall not he taken out of thy mouth Nor out of the mouth of thy seed. Nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed, Saith Yahweh, From henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
rotherham@Isaiah:60:1 @ Ariseshine, For thy light, hath come, And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed;
