nkjv Isaiah:9:8-21
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:9:11 @ Therefore the LORD shall set up The adversaries of Rezin against him, And spur his enemies on,
nkjv@Isaiah:9:12 @ The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:13 @ For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, Nor do they seek the LORD of hosts.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:14 @ Therefore the LORD will cut off head and tail from Israel, Palm branch and bulrush in one day.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:15 @ The elder and honorable, he is the head; The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:16 @ For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:17 @ Therefore the Lord will have no joy in their young men, Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows; For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, And every mouth speaks folly. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:18 @ For wickedness burns as the fire; It shall devour the briers and thorns, And kindle in the thickets of the forest; They shall mount up like rising smoke.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:19 @ Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts The land is burned up, And the people shall be as fuel for the fire; No man shall spare his brother.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:20 @ And he shall snatch on the right hand And be hungry; He shall devour on the left hand And not be satisfied; Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
nkjv@Isaiah:9:21 @ Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; Together they shall be against Judah. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.
